琴螂仙 Elder Amourworm
阎苑非凡种，濯垢有仙风。
下界化奇样，入道不俗同，
In the celestial garden, rare seeds grow,
By the Purifying Spring, with an immortal glow.
Transformed in the lower realm, forms unique,
Such path to Dao, refined and sleek.
昔年，有人从昆仑阅苑中往某个洞天福地投下了两枚仙卵。凡间灵蕴不似仙界充盈，仙卵下界，竟育化不出完整的仙兽，令其失了大半法能形貌也迴然不同。其中一枚仙卵，被用作了度化有罪者，另一枚则被有心人藏了起来。因其育化成了别样的生灵，又将其唤作琴螂仙。
琴螂仙每隔数日便会产出如血囊一般的虫卵，若被生灵吞入腹中，幼虫便会啃食其五脏六腑，又因其天赋之差异，育化出不同的虫来。
若此卵未被生灵吞服，则自然育化，成为凡胎琴螂。凡胎的琴螂会吐丝做茧，用以困住猎物。因其体内的奇毒，困在茧中生灵非但不觉憋闷，还常有临风欲飞之感，如坠云端，但时间一久，身体便会异化。有修士想以此法，锻炼躯体，精进法力，但终究是旁门，极易迷了心智。
自这仙卵入世，已有许多生灵遭其毒害。此物其实极不善打斗，除了口吐秽物，并无什么大神通，相貌又极其骇人。想来，它能在世间繁衍至今，必是能给某些人带来不为人知的好处罢。
In ancient times, someone cast two celestial eggs from Mount Kunlun into a blessed land on Earth. However, the Will of the mortal realm was not as abundant as that of the celestial realm. As a result, the celestial eggs failed to fully nurture and lost many of their wondrous abilities, taking on vastly different forms. One of these celestial eggs was used to redeem the guilty, while the other was hidden away by someone with ulterior motives. From this hidden egg, various creatures emerged, and it came to be known as the Elder Amourworm.
Every few days, the Elder Amourworm would produce insect eggs that resembled blood sacs. If these eggs were ingested by a living being, the larvae would devour their internal organs. Depending on the innate differences of the larvae, the host would undergo a transformation, turning into one of many types of insects.
If the eggs of the Elder Amourworm were not ingested, they would naturally hatch into an ordinary Amourworm. These ordinary Amourworm would spin silk to create cocoons, which they used to trap their prey. The cocoons contained potent toxins that caused the trapped creatures to experience a sensation of flying in the wind, as if floating on clouds, instead of feeling suffocated. However, prolonged exposure to these toxins led to abnormal changes in their bodies over time. Some practitioners attempted to use this method to temper their bodies and enhance their powers. However, it was ultimately considered a deviant practice that easily led to a loss of sanity.
Since the celestial egg entered the mortal world, many have fallen victim to its poison. The Amourworm, despite its terrifying appearance, is not adept at combat. Aside from spewing filth from its mouth, it possesses no remarkable abilities. However, its continued existence and proliferation in the world suggest that it must provide some unknown benefits to certain individuals.
