Game of the World Tree

Chapter 299 Mutated Abyss Worm

"I'm going...what the hell is this?!"

The players were startled when they saw the ferocious bugs that came up.

However, when they subconsciously planned to draw out their hidden weapons to kill them, they found that they had lost control of their bodies.

Under their feet, a huge circle formed at an unknown time, imprisoning their mobility.

All around, the hundreds of desperate believers in hoods, holding candles, stood on the glittering nodes, meditating silently.

"The Imprisonment Formation..."

Feeling the power of control coming from below, Eve's heart moved.

However, she did not break free, nor did she help the players break free.

Because at the moment when the worm appeared, she had already recognized the identity of the other party through the inheritance of the World Tree:

"The mutated abyss worm..."

The abyss worm is a low-level demon worm that lives in the abyss and is regarded as food by many demons.

However, it was an ordinary abyss worm.

The abyss worm is very weak, but when this weak worm comes into contact with powerful abyss energy or some contaminated mythical blood, it will mutate.

The mutated abyss worm will acquire the ability to parasitize other organisms.

Although they are still weak, they can take advantage of other creatures to enter the other's body, and eventually parasitic in the other's brain.

Then... the mutated abyss worm will treat the brain of the living creature as its own home, absorb the nutrition of the other party, and even interfere with the other party's thinking, and gradually eat away the other party's soul.

As time goes by, the living creature will gradually lose its soul and consciousness, and become a body without self, which can only move under the control of the abyss worm...

It is precisely because of the peculiar ability of the mutant abyss worm that this strange creature is favored by many evil gods.

They will always raise some mutated abyss worms to control other intelligent creatures or build their own army.

Apparently...the Church of Despair did the same.

Accompanied by the screams of female players and the scolding of male players, each of the hideous abyss worms found a target, bit each other's skin, and burrowed into the body.

Eve is no exception.

A worm also came to her, climbed up her arm along her legs, bit her skin and got in.

However, Eve did not stop it, but let the worm burrow into the body.

She could feel that the weird bug went straight to the brain of the body after it entered the body, and quickly unfolded the body, turning into a mesh-like structure, waving its tentacles to the brain.

And just when the other party was about to touch the brain of Eve's incarnation, Eve quietly snapped her fingers.

After that, the abyss worm froze slightly, lost its ability to move, and curled up in a corner, shivering.

Of course, Eve just used her own power to control the opponent's actions, and didn't kill him.

These abyss worms have been recognized as masters by the Church of Despair. If they are killed, the other party will notice them.

In that case, everything would be meaningless.

Then, Eve's eyes swept slightly to the other players.

She saw that almost everyone started to twitch.

She knew that it was a sign that the Abyss Worm was about to take control of the brain...

Of course, players do not have souls, even if the abyss worm controls the brain, it cannot affect the thinking of players. At most, players will find in horror that they have lost control of their bodies, and their bodies can move freely...

It's just that Eve won't let these worms get to that point.

She quietly snapped her fingers again.

After that, all players felt a warm power suddenly coming from the depths of their bodies.

This warm energy rushed towards his brain, and soon... that feeling of dizziness gradually disappeared.

Of course, their bodies haven't regained control, and they can't even speak.

However, this time, it was not the effect of the abyss worm, but Eve's control.

At the same time, new system news appeared in front of their eyes...

【Ding--】

[You are attacked by the mutant abyss worm, and the mutant abyss worm begins to parasitize...]

【Ding--】

[The abyss worm successfully parasitized, and began to try to seize your body control and thinking]

【Ding--】

[Due to the blessing of the goddess, the abyss worm failed to capture...]

[You get buff: Ineffective Parasite of Abyss Worm]

[Effect 1: During the ineffective parasitism of the Abyss Worm, it will be easier for you to disguise as a member of the Church of Despair and gain the trust of the Church of Despair. 】

[Effect 2: During the period when the abyss worm is ineffective, the speed at which you gain experience by killing monsters will be reduced by 10%]

For a time, all the players present trembled, and gradually regained control of their bodies.

They looked at each other, and both saw a strange look in each other's eyes.

On the bright side, everyone remained quiet.

But secretly, the chat group has become lively.

"I'm going...what the hell is this buff?"

Looking at the prompt on the interface, Hulu was taken aback.

"Didn't you see it? Enter the account! With this, it should mean that we have successfully sneaked in."

Demacia replied.

Quite conscious.

Looking at the messages sent by the players in the chat channel, Eve raised her eyebrows.

At the same time, she was also a little fortunate that she came here wearing a vest.

Unexpectedly, the method used by the Church of Despair to control other people turned out to be abyss worms!

It seems... the Dragon of Despair Nidhogg is indeed completely degenerate.

This time, if she doesn't come and control it from a distance, it's really not good to deal with the abyss worm attacking the player without attracting the attention of the other party...

Of course... many female players are not so calm:

"Ahhhhhh! What a disgusting buff, how can I get rid of this thing!"

"No... The thought of a bug in my body makes my whole body hairy."

Even Xiao Xianmiao and Gugu Bird, who have always been daring, couldn't help rubbing the place where the worm had just gotten into their arms, and one of them frowned tightly.

However, considering the task to be done, they finally suppressed the discomfort in their hearts and endured it.

In addition, some players soon saw the debuff of deducting experience:

"Why deduct the experience gained?"

Some people are very suspicious.

"This should be a type of debuff. Just be patient, it will definitely be canceled after finishing the [Secret of the God of Despair], and it's only 10%, and it doesn't affect the experience gained from the quest."

A player replied uncertainly.

The debuff is naturally added by Eve.

Controlling these abyss worms, preventing them from encroaching on the brain, and maintaining their survival is all at a cost.

It's just that Eve has deducted all these consumptions in the form of debuffs.

Um.

Consider it a protection fee.

And just after everything was done, Eve snapped her fingers again.

For a time, all the players present received a new system task:

【Ding--】

[Trigger Hidden Mission: Infiltrate the Church of Despair]

[Task description: In order to explore the secrets of the God of Despair, you decided to infiltrate the Church of Despair...]

[Mission goals: 1. Don't expose yourself. 2. Explore the secrets of the Church of Despair]
