Feeling Like a Parasite
This scene is absolutely nauseating.
As a worm wriggled and crawled toward him, World 10 turned and tried to run away.
But...
There were worms all over the place behind me.
She was stunned.
"I must leave this world."
However...
The worst thing happened: when she tried to leave again, Super Strength seemed to block her way.
Or rather, this space itself was imprisoning her.
"Small Water Elemental Shield"
Without a word, a shield was created and placed around them.
Bang!
A worm crashed into it and was bounced away.
"Um?"
As more worms crashed into her, Miss World No. 11 breathed a long sigh of relief.
Not strong.
Or rather... very weak.
She remained motionless, quietly watching the scene unfold.
Seemingly finding themselves unable to be breached, the insects turned to other targets.
The different insects were engaged in a fierce battle.
What bothered her was that in the direction of the distant canyon, there was a pitch-black crack that stretched to the farthest point, constantly emitting terrifying vibrations, and small white worms kept crawling out of it and surging towards her.
Those tiny worms practically fight and devour each other as soon as they step outside; it's incredibly frenzied.
The closer you get to this side from the crack, the larger the worm becomes and the darker its color.
Upon close observation, all the worms molt rapidly after consuming the bodies of other worms, growing as if they were evolving.
Once they reach a certain point, they will continue to hunt for prey.
"This scene..."
Miss World No. 11 felt a little lost.
The world was different from what she had come to know.
However, she roughly understood some of the patterns.
That dark crack seemed to be the exit from which worms were born; the worms grew by devouring their own kind.
However, if a creature grows to a certain size and then devours weaker members of its own kind, its growth rate will decrease, requiring it to absorb the bodies of more advanced members of its kind.
This resulted in the spectacular sight of all the insects crawling towards the distance, with the ones that crawled further away becoming the most powerful.
"I can't leave now."
This is the first time I've been unable to leave using Amia's power, nor can I leave through the Dream Realm.
If you pay close attention, you can detect a terrifying "field" emanating from the crack area, spreading outwards. It is this strange field that blocks any possibility of leaving.
The only way is to follow the worm's wriggling steps and walk into the distance.
"That crack feels dangerous; I must stay away from it."
She had just tried to move in that direction when her Danger Perception gave her a warning, so Miss World 11 had no choice but to retreat.
I tried poking the white worm at my feet with a knife.
Puff!
It's broken.
The worm curled up in agony.
[Slay the Level 1 Unknown Worm.]
[Drawing energy...]
[Draw complete. You have gained 2 points of Life Energy.]
"Emmm... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
As soon as I muttered this complaint to myself, another slightly larger insect nearby eagerly crawled over and opened its mouth to bite.
Upon closer inspection, the white worm appeared quite clean, while the flesh at the wound site was translucent, resembling coconut meat. It was slowly swallowed by the larger worm as it was being gnawed at.
Other insects nearby rushed over, trying to grab it, but it seemed to have reached the critical point of Purification. Suddenly, the large insect trembled violently, and then tiny thorns grew on its skin, changing its color from pure white to a faint gray pattern.
Its size didn't increase, but it became stronger.
A white worm crawled over and tried to bite the newly Purification creature, but it was swatted away by him and rolled away.
The other party seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately turned and ran.
Miss World No. 11 touched her chin, finding it inexplicably amusing.
Because she was an avatar, and the Mystic Thread between her and her original self was not severed, she was not afraid of death at all.
However... the insides of these worms were all coconut-shaped, which made Miss World herself drool.
It tastes delicious.
"Cough cough, restrain yourself, restrain yourself!"
She decided to observe for a while longer.
A few minutes later, she found one that evolved relatively quickly, was grayish in color, and had horns on its head. She swiftly slashed out with her sword.
Puff--
This time, the force was about the same as before.
However...
She sensed a slight resistance.
[Slay the Level 5 Unknown Worm.]
[Drawing energy...]
[Draw complete. You have gained 16 points of Life Energy.]
"You've gotten that much stronger?"
It should be noted that this gray worm only needs to devour 3 to 4 individuals of similar strength to evolve into this form.
That's level 5.
Miss World No. 11 herself is only at level ten or so.
Looking into the distance, the further away you go, the more different the worms appear.
As they reached the horizon, many of them had shed their worm-like appearance and looked somewhat like other creatures.
In general, most creatures are black, and the few with unusual colors are dark colors such as dark red.
"If I want to gain an advantage in a place like this, my body definitely won't be up to par. No... not necessarily. If I use the Explosion Ring for damage, I might be able to get further away."
She started walking forward.
After about 3 kilometers, Miss World No. 11 helplessly discovered that a large number of insects around her had turned gray, and some of them had similar attributes to herself. Without weapons, in pure melee combat, she was no match for them.
Because these worms have very hard teeth, and many of them have horns and spines.
They were packed in so many that many seemed to think they could eat them all and rushed over.
She retreated a kilometer and found a white creature that had slipped through the net, mixed in with a group of dangerous individuals. She then rushed up and killed it.
Pick up the corpse and use the Player System for the first time to detect it.
[Functional malfunction]
"?" Miss World No. 11 was dumbfounded.
Is the Player System malfunctioning?
In contrast, its own Proliferation System is perfectly fine.
"It's a bit disgusting, but maybe... I can try the taste."
Miss World Number 11 stroked her chin, looked at the insects, and suddenly had an idea.
Of course, this idea is dangerous.
She's the kind of person who really hates insects.
Otherwise, when he was breaking through, he wouldn't have chosen to have the caterpillar and cockroach fall on him.
Its frightening power is arguably no less than that of a ghost.
But...
These insects in front of me look just like they're made of coconut jelly.
The wriggling appearance was somewhat frightening, but the inside was crystal clear, reminding her of delicious jelly.
"I'll give it a try. The evolution of these insects didn't happen for no reason; there must be a reason behind it."
She hardened her heart, squatted down, used a knife to pick out some worm meat, and put it in her mouth.
One bite...
"Woc"
It's sweet, with a slightly gelatinous texture, and cool and refreshing.
"Really?"
But only two seconds later, the aftereffects kicked in.
Pollution!
The intense Pollution caused her expression to change, and she quickly took out a bottle of Water of Purification and gulped it down.
Then she let out a long sigh of relief.
[Absorbing "Origin Energy".]
[This has been converted into 0.000001 units of Concentrated Life Energy.]
Information about the Proliferation System jumped out at me.
Miss World No. 11 raised an eyebrow.
"Origin Energy?"
I've never heard of this before, but what does it mean to transform it into high-purity Life Energy?
Could Life Energy be concentrated like juice?
That's what she thought. As she was transforming, she could also feel the flesh and blood she had swallowed earlier surging through her body, even Fusion with her cells.
These insects seem more like some kind of energy entity.
This energy is Pollution and harmful, but if it can be utilized, it can Fusion with cells, produce mutations, and transform itself.
"It doesn't get digested; it really does feel like a cool, flowing liquid into my body. Of course, that's assuming I can withstand the Pollution. It seems... I need to drink more Water of Purification."
If Ye Qian No. 2 were around, the Purification effect could be achieved simply by putting her finger in her mouth; there would be no need to drink ordinary water.
It's even like Little Soul, with a soft tongue that kisses.
Chapter 150 Feeling Like a Parasite
Cough cough cough...
Unfortunately, in a world like this, how could anyone dare to send such an important body here so casually?
