Chapter 323: Fully Adaptable Parasite, Kim's Past
Lin Xun thought for a long time and finally agreed to join the oath.
[You walked forward slowly, and Flanda opened her arms and embraced you...]
[Loyal apostle, you have joined the 'Original Firefly' oath. ]
[In this volume, only one oath can be signed. If you betray the oath, you will not be able to join this oath again, and you will be permanently hated by the oath camp and the friendly oath camp. ]
[Current hostile oath camp: 'Desire Wet Nurse', current friendly oath camp: None. ]
[In Flanda's plump and soft arms, you once again see the huge consciousness network that encompasses all things in the world...]
[The black and white consciousness at the top of the grid connects countless life forms, assimilates the consciousness colors of various life forms, and devours and invades each other. ]
[You understand that the white part of the grid belongs to the feathered camp of the 'Desire Wet Nurse', and the black part belongs to the alienated oath of the 'Original Firefly'. ]
[Frenda's huge consciousness is like yours, floating between black and white. It actively surrounds you, allowing you to instantly feel the structure of the entire consciousness network. ]
[The white consciousness occupies most of the grid, constantly eroding the black consciousness belonging to the "Original Firefly" camp, making the black consciousness occupy a very small area in the grid, which is somewhat precarious. ]
[After you see the full picture of the consciousness network, Frenda sighs deeply and pulls you back to reality...]
[It loosens its hands, looks apologetic, lowers its eyes and says, I'm sorry, foreign child. As you can see, "Firefly" is at a disadvantage in this war. ]
[It is precisely because of this that "Firefly" has given it and you the ability to float on the edge of the consciousness network. This is a helpless protection. ]
[You and it are both the consciousness of the "wet nurse". If you are assimilated by "Firefly" when joining the oath, the "wet nurse" will be able to sense it immediately, and then bring down divine punishment in the territory of the kingdom of God. ]
[No one can resist the wrath of the ‘wet nurse’, not to mention that you and it are both in the realm of the kingdom of God…]
[When ‘Frenda the Oathbreaker’ said this, the huge insect’s abdomen moved slightly, and you could see something being transported to the second floor of the nest in the translucent pipe connected to its abdomen.]
[Frenda continued to say that the mission given to you by ‘Firefly’ was too difficult, and now you are so…weak. Sorry, it didn’t mean to look down on you. The consciousness that can get the attention of the main god is different.]
[It is really dangerous to walk in the kingdom of God with your weak body. It can only give you some help as much as it can…]
[It has transported the ‘help’ sent to you to the hidden capsule on the second floor of the nest.]
[I hope that you will have a smoother journey in the future after getting help. 】
【If you feel confused or bored during your journey, you might as well come back here to talk to it... Well, it's actually very lonely trapped here. If you don't mind its appearance, remember to come back and see it often...】
【You bid farewell to 'Frenda the Oathbreaker' and take the elevator again to the second floor of the ancient nest. 】
【In the circular passage on the second floor of the nest, an extremely large hatching capsule broke through the wall. 】
【There is no flesh membrane wrapped around the outside of the capsule, and a large page of light flickering in it floats...】
【You found the fragment of the book of salvation - the rest page! 】
【You enter the capsule, touch the page, and the powerful wandering soul resonates with the page...】
Lin Xun was overjoyed, and finally found the save point!
He decisively set the ancient nest as the resurrection point.
【There are not only the rest pages in the capsule, but also two items given to you by Frenda, a fist-sized ball of flesh and blood tissue that is still wriggling slightly, and a fluorescent stone. ]
[You have obtained the ‘Perfect Parasitic Factor’ (Legendary Item)! ]
[You have obtained the ‘Flanda’s Firefly Stone’ (Special Item)! ]
Lin Xun quickly opened the inventory to check.
[‘Perfect Parasitic Factor’ (Legendary Item): Flesh and blood tissue containing parasitic factors, which is manufactured by experimenting with a large number of samples. Only the body that meets the factor can use it. ]
[After use, the nature of the body will change, and special skills - ‘Perfect Parasitism’ and ‘Perfect Transformation’ will be realized. ]
Only the original ‘Epithecated Maggot Man’ and the newly obtained ‘Epithecated First Generation Parasite’ in the body column meet the conditions for using this item.
However, if it is used on the ‘Parasit’, the underworld game will pop up a prompt.
[This body has certain defects and cannot play the full role of the ‘Perfect Parasitic Factor’. Please confirm whether to use it. ]
When it is used on the ‘Epithecated Maggot Man’, no similar prompt appears.
[You have used the ‘perfect parasitic factor’, and the current body ‘emerged maggot man (moth-shaped mimic)’ has been transformed into a ‘emerged fully adaptive parasite’! ]
[You have mastered the body skill ‘perfect parasitism’! ]
Lin Xun opened the panel and found that the properties of the maggot man had undergone earth-shattering changes.
[Body - ‘emerged fully adaptive parasite’]
[Real name: Broken Bone]
[Compatibility: 137% (+55%) Compatibility exceeds the critical point, and the body quality is improved! ]
[Body quality: epic]
[Body level: 67 (+12↑)]
[Body equipment: perfect parasitism (special skill): Using this skill, you can parasitize all small, medium, and large insects that are still alive, and perfectly control the container. Due to the limitation of the ganglion, you cannot parasitize the super-large and super-giant insect containers. ]
[Shell Skill: Perfect Transformation (Special Skill): With this skill, you will be able to shed the current parasitic insect container without loss and return to the parasite state. The shed container will retain a short activity of three minutes, during which time you can parasitize the shed container again. 】
"Hiss... Unfortunately, I am uneducated, and I can parasitize the world with just one sentence."
The skill of the defective parasite is limited to the 'crustacean' insect people. For example, the mimic moth on the first layer of the nest cannot be parasitized.
And now the 'perfect parasitism' can parasitize any insect people, regardless of the type, with shells, without shells, with wings, without wings.
The only limitation is the size. A body that is too big cannot be parasitized, and a calf cannot pull a big cart.
The molting skill has also been promoted to 'perfect transformation', and after abandoning the parasitic body, it can still retain activity for a certain period of time.
Don't underestimate this skill. With a three-minute activity time, Lin Xun can shed the previous container after defeating the enemy, and then parasitize the enemy, and then decide which container to use after checking the panel comparison.
There is another help from Flanda.
[‘Flanda’s Firefly Stone’ (special item): a strange stone that glitters with a bright light, which is somewhat similar to the gem material at the tail of the small statue ‘Original Firefly’. ]
[Since Flanda is imprisoned, you cannot summon ‘Flanda the Broken Oath’ through this ‘Firefly Stone’. But you can use this item to prove your identity as a ‘Firefly Familiar’ and gain the favor of the creatures in the ‘Original Firefly’ oath camp. ]
“Damn, it turns out that the correct route is to save the maggots first, and then find Kim…”
Lin Xun went through a long circle to get both sides.
It was not until now that I realized that getting the ‘Firefly Stone’ from Flanda would complete the achievement of getting both sides.
However, he did not know that if he chose to save the maggot man on the spot, Kim would turn hostile and attack. Either the apostle would die or Kim would die...
After he explored the 'Ancient Lair', there were still two places on the map that he had not explored, one was the 'Border Prison' and the other was the 'Crawler Tribe'.
But before exploring, Lin Xun decided to confront Kim first. In front of the genuine 'Firefly Envoy', Kim would surely reveal a lot of information.
As for whether it died socially or not, what does that have to do with Lin Xun?
[...]
['Postman Sending Crickets' went forward for a long time and finally returned to the 'Firefly Temple'. ]
[You jumped off the abdomen, strode forward, and pushed open the door of the temple...]
[I saw 'Missionary Kim' sitting on the ground in a daze, mumbling under the mask, how did he disappear, how did he disappear...]
[When it saw you coming, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it asked hurriedly, have you ever heard of an ability to disappear out of thin air? ]
[The maggot man it rescued blasphemed the Lord's statue. It wanted to teach it a lesson, but it didn't expect that the maggot man's body structure was too fragile. It lost all its vitality when touched and then disappeared...]
Lin Xun twitched his mouth and couldn't complain.
"You cut open my stomach, how can I not die?"
He opened the inventory and clicked on the firefly stone given by Flanda.
[You shook your head, indicating that you didn't know what Kim was talking about, and then took out 'Flanda's Firefly Stone' and shook it in front of it...]
['Missionary Kim' was about to continue asking questions, but suddenly saw the token in your hand, and the words were stuck in his throat, like a chicken with its neck strangled. ]
[Its expression was like seeing a ghost, pointing at you in disbelief, you, you, you are...]
[You nodded to indicate that it saw it right, you are the Lord's messenger, a genuine 'firefly envoy', not a fake one! ]
[Kim muttered, then it, it, it... Kim suddenly covered her mask, ran away without looking back, and rushed out of the door...]
[You hurriedly followed him out, only to see Kim riding on your 'Yisong Mole Cricket' that had not yet burrowed into the ground and shouted to it, go quickly, the farther the better! It wants to go to the center of the Holy Nest to fight with the wet nurse, which is better than staying here and continuing to embarrass itself! ]
['Yisong Mole Cricket' blinked its huge compound eyes, unmoved. ]
['Kim' seemed to be extremely ashamed and angry, and kicked 'Yisong Mole Cricket' several times, cursing that he only knew how to eat. ]
[It took out an unknown fungus plant, stuck its body out of its abdomen, and threw it to 'Yisong Mole Cricket'... But the fungus plant was still in the air, and you who came over intercepted it. ]
[You obtained 'Milk Matsutake'*1 (item)! ]
[You happily accepted the ‘Milk Matsutake’, stopped Kim’s way, and asked why it turned around and ran away when it saw the ‘Firefly Envoy’? ]
[As ‘Firefly Envoys’, we should help each other...]
[‘Kim’ then realized it and said repeatedly, Oh, so you are also a ‘Firefly Envoy’, what a coincidence, it also happens to be...]
[...]
[After you ‘recognized’ Kim’s identity as a Firefly Envoy, it finally jumped out of the ‘Yisong Mole Cricket’s’ abdomen and returned to the temple with you again. Before leaving, it did not forget to kick the ‘Yisong Mole Cricket’ a few more times. ]
[Kim sat on the bench opposite you and explained its identity to you...]
[It was born in a secret nest deep underground. From the moment it was born, it knew that it was different from others. 】
【The maggots sleeping in the cysts around it were all failures, and could only die slowly in their sleep. Only it had the magical parasitic ability, so it woke up and gained independent consciousness. 】
[As the only semi-qualified product, it, like the other insect people, indulged in the false memory created by the 'wet nurse'...]
[It should have sacrificed its body to replicate and study this parasitic ability... Fortunately, it met the beautiful and pure girl. ]
[The girl is the youngest and most beloved daughter of the 'wet nurse', in charge of the entire nest, and leading the research on parasitic abilities. ]
[That is, the girl told it all the truth and helped it escape from that devil's cave. ]
[The escape process was extremely dangerous, so I don’t need to elaborate on it…]
[The girl sent it to the ‘Tentacle City’ closest to the nest and returned alone. It didn’t even have time to ask the girl’s name, nor did it remember the specific location of the nest…]
[Even so, it still remembered the girl’s voice and smile…]
[It wandered in the Tentacle City for countless years, using its own parasitic ability to gradually increase its strength…]
[…]
[It rescued every mutated maggot man, fabricated its own identity as a ‘firefly envoy’, and attempted to make the mutated maggot man change his beliefs…]
[It knew that even if it was a mutated maggot man, there was only an extremely small probability that it could mutate into a parasitic factor, and most of them were truly useless maggot men.]
[Even if some parasitic factors were mutated, they usually only had the ability to shed their skin, and might not necessarily awaken the memory of the underground nest…]
[But as long as there was a one in ten million chance, it might be able to learn the location of the underground nest from the memory of the mutated maggot man. 】
【It hopes to find the nest one day. At that time, it will no longer be weak. It will kill all the followers of the despicable and rescue the girl who is still trapped in the devil's cave...】
【'Kim' seems to have kept this matter in his heart for a long time. Suddenly, he met someone he could talk to, and he couldn't help but tell you the whole story. 】
"So that's it... No wonder when I pretended to be a maggot man, I heard Kim say that it had the same ability as the mutant maggot man."
But Kim probably didn't know that the so-called 'girl', that is, Flanda, has now become a terrible appearance similar to the 'war queen'. Only the upper and lower parts of the head are still human, and the lower parts are simply indescribable.
"Should I take Kim to see Flanda?"
Taking Kim to the 'ancient nest' at this time will definitely trigger a special event.
But Lin Xun suddenly realized that Kim was not a real 'firefly servant' and did not have the ability to wander on the edge of the consciousness network given by the 'firefly'.
As an alien with partial parasitic abilities, Kim might be detected by the ‘Desire Nurse’ if she sets foot in the ‘Ancient Nest’.
At that time, not only he and Kim will die, but even ‘Frenda the Oathbreaker’ will not be spared.
“So, these two people will probably never meet again in their lifetime…”
He could only temporarily give up the idea of letting the two meet.
