[After traveling underground for a long time, the vibrations subsided, and the fleshy membranes on both sides of the abdomen of the ‘Yi Shou Mole Cricket’ opened...]
[The gray light shining overhead is extremely weak. When you look up, you will see that the fluorescent fungi attached to the top of the stone wall are very sparse. This is a sign that it is located deep underground. 】
[The deeper the underground space, the rarer the fluorescent fungi. After a certain depth, the fungi will become extinct and fall into eternal darkness. 】
[With the dim light, you can barely see the appearance of the ‘abandoned ancient nest’ in the distance...]
[It is a huge gray-white spherical building. The facade of the building is covered with scorch marks left by burning. Many thick pipes extend from the spherical surface and are connected to the ground, making the spherical building extremely stable. 】
[You leave the abdominal cavity and step closer to the ‘abandoned ancient nest’...]
【You arrive in front of a vast spherical building.】
[The material of the entrance door is very strange. There are vertical undulating ravines on the surface. If you touch it gently, it feels like fresh flesh and blood. If you press it harder, you can feel the support of a hard structure similar to a skeleton. 】
[You shrugged your nose, vaguely smelling the stench of decaying corpses.]
[You hesitate for a moment and slowly open the door...]
[Suddenly, a large amount of disgusting pungent gas overflowed from the crack in the door. The smell was so stench that it made you unable to open your eyes. 】
[You endure the discomfort and enter...]
[In front of you is a circular space with a gray color. The wall material is exactly the same as the door. On both sides of the wall are inlaid familiar containers - 'incubation capsules'. 】
[It’s just that the fleshy membranes on the surface of most hatching sacs have been violently broken open, and the ‘children’ inside are missing, leaving only a thick, stinky liquid similar to amniotic fluid all over the floor. 】
[You walk forward along the passage, and after walking for a long time you see a complete ‘hatching capsule’. 】
[The 'child' in the hatching sac has been dead for a long time, and the remains of the body have been soaked in liquid and rotten to the point of being rotten. Calling it rotten meat is a compliment. 】
[If you observe for a long time and don’t see anything strange, then you have to move on...]
[Suddenly, you remembered something, stopped quickly, and returned to the hatching capsule to observe carefully. 】
[The 'child' rotted into an indescribable mass of flesh and blood, and its fragmented carapace was floating in the amniotic fluid. 】
[What may surprise you is that the carapace is not the gray-white color unique to the ‘Ecstatic One’, but the jet-black color of the ‘Alienated One’. 】
[You recognize the shape of the carapace and try to piece together the complete appearance of the 'child' in your mind... It is an 'alienated person' covered in jet-black carapace like Kim! 】
Lin Xun frowned.
Could it be that the ancient lair in front of us is not the abandoned arsenal left by the 'Wet Nurse of Desire', but the one left by the 'Original Firefly'?
"That's not right. The description in the homing skill is clear. This is the favor left by the Wet Nurse of Desire."
He didn't think about it, so he just continued to explore.
【……】
[ Along the way, you also found several intact ‘hatching capsules’, and the children in them were all corrupt and shapeless ‘alienators’ just like you had seen before. 】
[You gradually walk to the other end of the circular passage, where there is a flesh-and-blood facility that looks like an elevator car. 】
[In front of the elevator, there is a unique treasure box quietly placed. 】
[The material of the treasure chest is similar to that of the door wall, both of which have a unique ‘activity’. 】
[Do you want to open the treasure box, or go around the treasure box and climb the elevator? 】
The treasure chest in front of me looks too weird, and there is obviously something abnormal about it.
In the underworld games, treasure chests are played out, and all kinds of traps emerge one after another. He is deeply affected by it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he suffers from treasure chest opening PTSD.
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and thought about it for a moment before he figured it out.
He summoned the shikigami Yuki-onna in reality, gave her some instructions, and then drove her back to the game.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Palace Master of Ixie Palace who worships fire’! 】
[You wave the zodiac string, and the shikigami ‘The Mountain Snow Girl of Traceability’ appears in response to your call. 】
['Snow Girl' follows your instructions and strides forward to approach the treasure chest...]
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘fallen earth giant’! 】
[You calmly took a few steps back, holding the 'Ancient Dragon Fang Giant Stick' in one hand and the 'Tachi: Eight Scenery of Evil' in the other hand. The two weapons were crossed in front of you to resist, and you were on full alert...]
[The 'Snow Girl' came to the treasure chest, suddenly looked back at you, her eyes seemed a little resentful, and then decisively opened the treasure chest...]
[After the treasure chest is opened, there will be no traps as you imagined. 】
['Snow Girl' reached out and fished out a sparkling object from the box, and walked towards you...]
[At this moment, huge shadows fell from the sky, and their colorful and highly poisonous stings pricked the shikigami ‘Yuki-onna’. 】
[The 'Snow Girl' has been cautious, but suddenly she heard a strong wind coming from above her head, and without hesitation transformed into a ball of ice mist and snowflakes, escaping the fatal blow. 】
[Ice mist and snowflakes float to your side and turn into a female form again. The 'Snow Girl' pats her chest and looks at the huge shadow attacking her. 】
[It is a huge feathered person that looks like a moth. Its scaly wings, both in color and pattern, look the same as the material of the wall and dome, and it is difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye. 】
[The six walking legs of the Emerald are slender and sharp, like sharp spears. There are also sharp stingers on the end of its abdomen. Judging from the colorful color of the stings, you can tell that they are extremely poisonous that will kill you if touched. 】
[You discovered the ‘Ecstatic Moth Mimic’! 】
[The 'Moth Mimic' fails with one strike and immediately flutters its wings and attacks you again...]
[You shouted angrily, pressing your feet against the ground, and violent power filled your body!]
[You raise the ‘Ancient Dragon Teeth Giant Stick’ and smash it down with all your strength...]
[Accessory special skill ‘Power of Titan’ is triggered! 】
[Your attack causes power crushing on the enemy, triggering the ‘stun’ effect in ‘Titan Power’! 】
[Behind you appears a giant silhouette standing tall on the sky and the earth, holding a murderous weapon with you, and smashing it down with all your strength...]
【A loud bang!】
[The 'Moth Mimic' was smashed into the ground without any resistance. It seemed to want to flap its scale wings to get out of the pit, but its scale wings seemed to be out of control and flapped randomly. Not only did it not leave the pit, but it fell deeper.
The deeper...]
【……】
[As the flapping of its scaly wings became more and more weak, the 'moth mimic' twitched a few times and gradually stopped moving...]
[You defeated the ‘Episode Moth Mimic’, and your experience points increased slightly! 】
[You have obtained ‘a large piece of spiritual enlightenment’*1]
[You look at the moth-like body of the Emerged One...]
[The body of the 'Echoed Moth Mimic': The first generation of fledged ones deployed in ancient lairs, possessing good mimicry abilities and toxicity. Unfortunately, due to their fragile scales and large size, they are neither suitable for war needs nor suitable for lurking.
Lin Xun shook his head, feeling that this hidden map was too simple.
If the monsters in the ancient lair were of this level, wouldn't he be able to push them aside with the body of Greedy Wolf Star Lord or Ninja Master?
[The shikigami ‘Yuki-onna’ hands over the object fished out of the treasure box to you...]
[You have obtained the ‘moth mimic’s ritual blood’ (special prop)! 】
['Moth Mimic's Liquid' (Special Prop): The bottle contains a liquid for feathering and promotion, with tiny egg-shaped objects floating in it. 】
[Using this prop, you will have a certain probability of entering the emergence process of the ‘moth mimic’! 】
[The feathering process is related to the phase of your body. During the feathering process, the phase will gradually drop. When the phase drops to the critical point of possession, the feathering process will be forcibly ended. 】
[Please note that there is a probability of failure in feathering. Although the body can be strengthened after successful feathering, the body prefix and body shape will be changed. Please use this item with caution!]
Lin Xun looked at the description of the props thoughtfully.
This prop seems to be an advanced version of the 'ritual blood', which can be used to strengthen the body.
As the feathering progresses, the shape of the body will change accordingly, until the body phase drops to the critical point where it will no longer be possessed.
Therefore, the higher the compatibility of the body, the more it can be strengthened.
Just by looking at the text description, it is impossible to clearly understand the strengthening effect of the liquid props.
Lin Xun decided to use the body of the 'Maggot Man' to give it a try first. Anyway, the 'Moth Mimic' was not very strong, and the Maggot Man happened to have the ability to degenerate and wash points.
There is a certain probability of failure in the Feathering Concoction, but with his ‘life-changing artifact’, he can still handle this lottery easily.
【……】
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Episode Maggot Man’! 】
[You used the ‘Moth Mimic Concoction’ (special prop)! 】
[A sharp pain that spreads all over your body suddenly strikes, and the skin on your body slowly peels off, replaced by a strong epidermis covered with downy hair...]
【Echoing...】
Lin Xun stared at the relative values in the body panel.
The original Scyther's compatibility reaches 86% after the talent bonus.
When the Maggot Man sheds the shell of the 'Scythe Blade' and washes the points, the quality of his body drops to the ordinary level, but the resemblance is greatly improved, reaching an astonishing value of 135% (55%).
In other words, 55% of the excess phase can be used to feather the fall...
"I wonder how much the 55% excess phase can strengthen the body?"
Lin Xun stared at the compatibility value while checking the game text.
[You couldn't help but scream in pain, fell to the ground and curled up into a ball...]
[The skin on your back tore, scaly wings grew, and your hands and feet turned into slender and sharp walking legs...]
"Huh?"
Lin Xun couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.
The phase value has always been maintained at 135%, without any decrease due to the change of shape due to feathering.
"The underworld game is out again...it's not right!"
"Damn, I almost forgot, Thousands of Faces can lock the panel..."
Only then did Lin Xun remember that his soul talent also had a lock panel function that was rarely used.
It is not accurate to say that the function of the lock panel is, to be precise, it is the body he possesses, and the phase value can only rise and not fall.
For example, after a little dragon is promoted to a bloodline, it will look more and more like a Western dragon, but the compatibility value will not change and remain in the initial state of possession.
Otherwise, the dragon's body would have already fallen below 80%, making it impossible to possess him.
"Doesn't this mean that the maggot body can be transformed into the ultimate form of the prepared liquid?"
[Your black and white eyes have transformed into compound eyes, and your mouth and lips have also transformed into siphonic mouthparts...]
[Your body size gradually expands, from a thin humanoid to a huge moth...]
【……】
【Eclosion successful!】
[You have been promoted from an ‘Ecstatic Maggot Man’ to a fully-formed ‘Ecstatic Moth Mimic’! 】
Lin Xun opened the panel and viewed the properties.
[Body—‘Episode Moth Mimic’]
[Real name: Bone Broken]
[Phaseality: 135% (55%) compatibility exceeds the critical point, and the quality of the body is improved! 】
[Body quality: Epic level]
[Body level: 67(37↑)]
[Body equipment: none]
[Body skills: Homing (special skills):...]
[Body skills: Shedding (special skills):...]
[Body skill: Environmental Mimicry (rare skill): Using this skill, you will simulate the color, markings, etc. of the surrounding environment to blind the enemy's naked eyes so that they cannot detect your presence. 】
[Hull Skill: Poisonous Sting (rare skill): Using this skill, you will use the tail sting connected to the poison glands in your body to attack the enemy and inject venom containing highly toxic venom. 】
The quality of the body has been upgraded from the Maggot Man's original common level to rare level.
With the blessing of Xiangxing, the quality of the body has been improved again, promoted to epic quality, and it has also gained two additional skills.
It has to be said that the 'mixed liquid' prop is much more advanced than the 'ceremonial blood'.
‘Ritual blood’ can only perform the first stage of emergence, and the quality of the body is still very poor, while ‘preparation liquid’ can directly evolve to the final form, rising from ordinary level to epic level in one step.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The only thing I feel a little uncomfortable with is that this body has no human appearance at all, it is just a big moth with a stinger."
"According to the text description, the moth is quite large... There is no way this thing can be realized in reality."
Lin Xun scratched his head. If he wanted to realize the giant moth, he could only let Snow Girl or Slippery Ghost be the guest trainer, and he would be the Pokémon.
The summoned object is a big moth, which makes sense.
"This liquid preparation prop can improve the quality of the body and also comes with enlightenment skills. It should be a very rare prop."
"I don't know to what extent other apostles can become feathers... If they just grow an extra pair of wings or a special organ, even if the quality of the body is not improved, it will still be of considerable value."
After Lin Xun finished thinking about the new form of Maggot Man, he switched to the body of Greedy Wolf Star Lord and continued exploring.
【……】
[You board the elevator-like facility alone. The car vibrates slightly and begins to rise slowly...]
[As the car rises, you have arrived at the second level of the lair.]
[This is still a closed circular passage, and most of the ‘hatching capsules’ on both sides are damaged and empty. 】
[You get off the car and walk along the passage, only seeing a few figures floating in the hatching bags. 】
[You stride forward and look carefully through the translucent flesh membrane...]
[In the hatching sac is a red-fruited human being with his eyes closed. No insect-like organs can be seen on his body, and there is no abnormality compared to a normal human being.]
[You have discovered the ‘first-generation parasite that emerged’! 】
Lin Xun frowned.
"Parasite?"
He had a vague hunch that there was a great secret hidden in the 'abandoned ancient lair'.
