After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Chen Bei's heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"What did you say?"
"He...they are all parasitized?"
Chen Bei looked at Lin Yuan blankly and said, "How did you know?"
"Because that's what this guy is capable of."
Lin Yuan said calmly: "Its eggs are extremely tiny, like dust, and can even be inhaled into the body through breathing."
"And the most terrifying thing is that after the eggs hatch, these larvae will not break out of the body, but will stay in the body, subtly changing the character of the parasitized person and causing the parasitized person to mutate."
Lin Yuan still remembered that in his previous life, the lords of various countries did not know much about the monsters of the abyss.
The first person to launch a crusade against the parasitic demonic insects was a human lord who ranked fourteenth on the North American lord list.
However, his crusade ended in a disastrous defeat.
Because, ever since he led his troops into the insect cave, they have been inhaling the insect eggs floating in the air into their bodies.
After arriving in front of the parasitic demonic insect, all the troops under his command had been infected by the parasite.
The parasitic demonic insect easily defeated the North American lord without any effort.
Similarly, it was only after this incident that the lords of various countries became aware of the ability of the parasitic demonic insects.
It is no exaggeration to say that on the road to resisting the invasion of the abyss, they have always been the pioneers of various countries, and they have gained valuable experience at the cost of blood.
And now, since this parasitic demonic insect named 'Hasmen' dares to show up so confidently, it can only prove one thing.
That is, all the elves present have been successfully parasitized by it.
After all, if these elves want to survive, they must absorb the energy of the sacred tree.
For Hesmon, this is simply the best time to parasitize these elves.
Now, Lin Yuan finally understood why [Disaster of the Sacred Tree] appeared on the bulletin board of the tavern as a hidden mission.
The reason is that if you want to complete this task, you must not only eliminate the parasitic demonic insect Hesmon, but also thousands of elves infected and parasitized by insect eggs!
The difficulty of this hidden mission is definitely greater than most nightmare-level missions, even hell-level missions!
"唷!!"
At this moment, the parasitic demonic insect suddenly raised its head and let out a piercing scream from its ferocious mouthparts!
Immediately afterwards, all the elves began to undergo mutations!
Their eyes turned into dark red insect eyes, and their mouths tore open and turned into sharp mouthparts full of saw teeth!
Tentacles grew on the top of the head, insect-like limbs grew on the abdomen, and even translucent insect wings grew on the back!
The originally handsome elf has turned into an ugly insect-man!
Even the Elf Queen is the same!
Looking at the scene happening in front of him, Chen Bei could not help but widen his eyes.
After all, the scene in front of me is simply too terrifying!
"Now I finally know why these elves behave so abnormally."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
Moreover, before this, these elves may not even know that they have been contaminated and parasitized by insect eggs.
But the insect eggs in their bodies subtly affect their personalities.
It is precisely because of this that the elf holy sword user appears so irritable, irritable and vicious.
Only the Elf Queen would be so calm as to watch her own people die as their flesh and blood were sucked by the sacred tree.
All of this has a reason.
It's just that they didn't notice it before.
Although Lin Yuan had realized that something was wrong, it was impossible to determine the truth behind the scenes based on just some clues.
Obviously, this is also the difficulty of hidden tasks.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Okay, get ready for battle."
"If we don't get rid of this bug and these parasitized elves, we won't be able to leave here alive."
Whether they want to complete the hidden mission or leave here alive, they need to kill all the life here!
This vibrant green space will soon turn into a bloody Shura field!
"You still want to leave? You dirty guys, it's better to stay... and become the nourishment of the sacred tree!!"
The Elf Holy Sword User, who had been transformed into an insect race, immediately grinned and led a group of insect-turned elves towards them and surrounded them!!
It was obvious that his thoughts had been completely distorted.
In his consciousness, the parasitic demonic insect Hesmon has become the incarnation of the sacred tree.
And the group of people in front of them are sacrifices to be offered to the sacred tree!!
In other words, Lin Yuan and the others now not only have to deal with the parasitic demonic insect Hesmen, they also have to deal with the Elf Queen, the Elf Holy Sword User, and a group of insect-turned elves!!
What's worse is that after transforming into insects, the attributes of these elves have also been improved to a certain extent.
Whether it is strength, speed, or health, they have all been significantly increased, even comparable to the seventh-level arms!
Lin Yuan immediately turned his head, looked at Chen Bei, and said in a deep voice: "Leave the Elf Queen and the Parasitic Demonic Insect to me, and you go deal with the Elf Holy Sword User!"
Chen Bei nodded immediately: "Okay!"
Later, Lin Yuan took out a bottle of medicine from his backpack and threw it directly to Chen Bei.
"This is...dark potion?"
Chen Bei was stunned for a moment and quickly recognized the potion in his hand.
Now that dark potions are widely circulated in the market, Chen Bei naturally recognized them at a glance.
Then, his expression became serious.
He still knows the effect of dark potion.
After taking the dark potion, the hero will enter a demonized state and receive a 50% bonus to all attributes, and the attack will also deal 10% dark attribute damage for fifteen minutes.
At the same time, the dark potion is also a double-edged sword. After the effect of the potion ends, the hero will enter a weak state for 8 hours, with all attributes reduced by 70%.
Lin Yuan taking out the dark potion at this time is enough to show how difficult the next battle will be!
So much so that we need to use this alchemical potion with extremely strong side effects!
But... the more this happens, the more fighting spirit in Chen Bei's heart becomes!
Without any hesitation, he directly asked the orc commander to take this bottle of [Dark Potion]!
The next second, with the roar of the orc leader, its body suddenly swelled, and its muscular body seemed to be full of power!
After entering the [Demonized] state, black demonic energy surged out of its body and lingered around it!
On the other side, Lin Yuan also took out two bottles of [Dark Potion] again and asked Artoria and Ugesar to take them respectively!
Because he knew in his heart that in this battle, he must go all out to win!
