The mission items were collected quite smoothly. Lu Mei first went to a side hall sacrificial site recorded in the intelligence records, which was a place previously designated by the cult for people to offer sacrifices to.
There, Lu Mei found an escaped insect cultist, and after defeating the living boar corpse he created, she successfully killed him and obtained the Piece of Time in his hand.
Then he successfully found another insect cultist in the big library in the city.
He used the fragments of time to successfully transform some living corpses into the state of insects. Then when necessary, he could gather these insects and merge with himself, transforming into a powerful insect swarm.
It was a bit tricky for Lu Mei to solve it. Fortunately, the other party's sanity was almost worn away, and he had a strong smell of living corpses. His mind was aging even if the fragments from that time could not be removed.
After conquering the big library.
Lu Mei found a defector from another religious sect in the nearby mountains.
He also stole the Pieces of Time and escaped here.
Unlike the other two people, they chose to use fragments of time as a medium to transform those living corpses.
This bug integrates the fragments of time into its own body. In this way, it interferes with its own body to the greatest extent, maintains its own activity, and prevents it from turning into a living corpse.
They are all half dead souls and half flesh. An aging mind will cause the body to fail, but a strong body will also replenish the mind.
Therefore, Lu Mei saw a "normal person" in this place for the first time.
The opponent was wearing a purple robe. There were no feet under the robe, but a large number of thick tentacles.
The tentacles protruding from both sides of the robe are intertwined, looking like a person holding his arms.
The top of the head is not empty holes and tentacles, but has a somewhat human appearance, but it is also covered with the characteristics of various insects.
"I sensed the aura of the other two Pieces of Time on you." The normal bug looked at Lu Mei, but unlike other people who collected Pieces of Time, he didn't attack Lu Mei directly when he saw her, and even introduced himself: "
Hello, I am the high priest of the Insect Cult, you can just call me Insect Priest."
"You want to complete the collection of ritual items and then reverse them, right?"
"I advise you not to do this. You will not get any results, but it will cause even greater disasters."
"Otherwise, why do you think I would just leave with the Pieces of Time in the first place?" The insect priest said very seriously, and at the same time, he lifted up his purple robe slightly.
On his body, a transparent fragment was stuck on it. As the insect priest moved, it slightly exuded the breath of life, allowing the insect priest to become healthier.
"You see, the time power on the Time Shards can actually only ensure that my body does not age."
"There is simply no way for me to maintain my current state of health, or even feed my mental state through a healthy body."
"All this is because I discovered the true utility of the Pieces of Time."
"The time bug we first designed, the ideal time bug that allows a person's body to not be disturbed by time and gain eternal life, did not completely fail."
"The fragments of time are the raw materials for the insects of time."
"I have mastered how to transform fragments of time into real insects of time."
"You want to live forever?"
The words of the insect priest are extremely tempting.
In this eternal land, everyone knows that the Worm Cult's ritual failed.
However, it is precisely because of this knowledge that the authenticity of the words of the insect priest can be verified by looking at the existence of the eternal land.
The fragments of time, what this ritual stripped off from the time realm, may really be able to achieve eternal life.
If an ordinary person were here, they might be really moved, but Lu Mei is not an ordinary person.
Although her current strength is only at the life level, her foundation is at the pseudo-Japanese level.
As long as she can build a reasonable power system and make the power system regular and condensed, she will naturally become a Japanese-level person.
The so-called eternal life is just an incidental product of this process, and it is not worth the risk for her to merge into the Worm of Time.
"You should be different from me. You haven't been contaminated by the ordinary insects of time here, and you can still leave this eternal place."
"As long as you can help me do one thing, I will teach you how to create a real insect of time."
"The thorn ring among the holy relics is on the other side of the mountain at the moment. There is a guy hiding in it relying on that thing. Go and give me the thorn ring."
"When the time comes, you will leave this eternal land with the real Worm of Time and successfully gain eternal life."
"Isn't this bad?"
The insect priest thought that if he said this, Lu Mei, a foreigner, would agree to it no matter what.
Even if you are suspicious and wary, you will play tricks on yourself after getting the trading items.
But he didn't expect that after hearing this, Lu Mei would take action directly.
The power of illusory dreams quietly invades, and is about to confuse the insect priest.
At the same time, Lu Mei's body flashed, and by removing the anchor of space, she was able to achieve a faster space jump than overlapping in the spiritual world.
Lu Mei appeared behind the insect priest in the blink of an eye. The blade in her hand turned into an anchor at this moment. Once it was stabbed, it would completely anchor the insect priest.
At the same time, some future scenes began to play in my mind.
The fog of the dream is of little use to the insect priest, and after he notices Lu Mei's move, he will squirm quickly to avoid the anchor, but his body will be scratched.
Physical injuries can be recovered as quickly as possible with just one or two breaths.
But the insect priest cast the curse of the insect in the process.
These futures flashed by, and Lu Mei waved the sharp blade in his hand. Although the insect priest did not expect that Lu Mei would take action, he still sensed the danger. His body squirmed quickly, and the power of time acted on him, allowing him to show the ability to stay away from time to time.
However, Lu Mei's blade was swung too fast, and his pause did not really have any effect, as if the tentacles of his arms had been scratched by Lu Mei's knife.
The anchoring power on the blade instantly invaded and anchored its tentacles, and the entire tentacles suddenly lost their sensitivity.
Then the insect priest will distance himself and cast the curse, which is the ability of the insect cult.
The so-called Worm of Time was initially regarded as a curse.
However, before the Insect Priest's curse could take effect, the dream power that had previously acted as interference changed at this moment.
The power of the dream that was originally just a confusing effect turned into a substantial substance at this moment, instantly covering the insect priest's head.
The insect priest's curse was interrupted instantly, and at this moment he seemed to have fallen into a dream, becoming confused and no longer able to resist.
Lu Mei's dream power is naturally not that powerful, but she still has the 'power of true self'.
The power of her true self is still very weak, but she discovered that any power can be continuously strengthened and become more powerful as long as it is blessed by the true self.
This kind of push can even be like a snowball, which can continuously strengthen the strength.
Lu Mei then blessed this true self with the power of dreams.
The power of dreams will be rapidly strengthened.
Lu Mei used this to complete the control and execution of the insect priest.
After successfully obtaining the Pieces of Time from him, the Insect Priest's body seemed to be unplugged. His body quickly faded and turned into debris and dissipated.
Obviously, he was already a living corpse, but it was the fragments of time that made him a living corpse.
On this piece of debris, Lu Mei found some traces of insects.
The fragments dug into the side of the insect priest's body, and something like a blood vessel grew out.
At this moment, these blood vessels are still beating, like small insects trying to return to the insect priest's body.
Lu Mei completely removed the blood vessels of these insects, and then completed the collection of the fragments of time.
Then, following the insect priest's description, he went to the other side of the mountain and found traces of a holy relic.
The three holy relics are the broken timetable, the ring of thorns and the bloody leaf.
The time pocket watch is the power of the time side and has been transformed by Hollander into the key to the small portal.
The whereabouts of the Bloody Leaf are unknown, and no traces or clues have been found from the Insect Cult.
On the contrary, it is the Ring of Thorns, information obtained from the Insect Priest.
This is a man-made cave, the entrance of which is covered with thorns.
If the thorns at the door had not been cleared away, no one would have known that there was such a hole behind it.
Behind the entrance of the cave where she walked, Lu Mei saw a long exorcism light.
Clearly, she's in the right place.
At first, civil strife broke out among the people in Hollander because some people were able to leave and some were not.
Two of the groups took out the remaining two holy relics and disappeared without a trace.
According to the intelligence, these two groups both master the manufacturing method of the exorcism lamp.
Lu Mei was more interested in this thing than the so-called Worm of Time.
Continuing to go deeper, Lu Mei was attacked by a beetle-like creature.
There are a lot of these beetles, they are not too small, about the size of a fist, and they have a hard shell. The most important thing is that they can fly.
If they weren't in this cave, the level of trouble for these beetles would skyrocket.
Lu Mei also had to rely on the group control power of the dream to completely eliminate them and enter the 'main room' inside the cave.
As Lu Mei arrived, her eyes first focused on a coffin placed in the main room.
At this moment, the coffin was shaking slightly, the lid was slowly pushed open, and a human sat up from inside.
This is the first human being that Lu Mei saw after entering this place.
His body was tied with bloody thorns, and the red color from those thorns was particularly dazzling in his eyes.
After the other party got up, his expression was a little dazed, and then his eyes became clearer, and then those clear eyes fell on Lu Mei.
"The land of eternity, has it been solved?" he asked.
