Mother Serpent Nest (Part One)
After entering the dungeon, Lu Li, who was given a debuff, tested the dungeon's restrictions: healing abilities could not be used on himself. He used his magic to make a bowl of healing potion, and after proving that it was ineffective, he put it in a small bottle and carried it with him.
The item Lu Li pulled out was the bottle of healing potion. It had only been a little over an hour since it was made, and although the potion's effects had weakened somewhat, the recovery effect was still extremely noticeable.
After the nurse was given the potion, her injuries began to heal at a visible speed. Lu Li also sensed that the "insects" Integration into the nurse's body. This potion was different from the one made with the help of a great being. After the incantation was devoured and then spat out by the mysterious being in his mind, the incantation had become something that Lu Li could completely understand.
The new incantation did not draw upon the power of any other being; it was entirely composed of Lu Li's own Shadow Magic. The "insect" also originated from Lu Li's Shadow Magic and was inextricably linked to him, having nothing to do with any great being.
When the "worm" entered the nurse's body, its first instinct was to tear at the nurse's physical spirit. That's right, this "worm" does not exist in a physical form; its food is spirit, not flesh. After the "worm" eats the spirit, it will replace the spirit part with itself and enter the gestation period. This means that even if the spirit is eaten, there will be no decrease in physical flexibility like Lu Li did at the beginning.
The "insect" gives birth to new "insects," which then devour new spirituality until the spirituality of the entire body is replaced by the "insects." At that point, although you can still control your body normally, your body is no longer truly yours. Next, the "insects" will attack your consciousness and soul, gradually hollowing them out.
Once the consciousness and personality are replaced, the person is actually dead. The new consciousness is the consciousness of the "Worm Swarm." When the soul is also eroded and replaced, then the person is completely dead. In its place is a new monster called the "Worm Nest." The most terrifying thing is that all of this happens silently. Perhaps a large part of your consciousness has been replaced, and you will not even be able to notice it.
Of course, this kind of "worm" has a very low reproductive rate. If you only drink a few sips, it may not be able to eat you dry until you die of old age. If you have a strong will, even if your body is eaten away, your consciousness will not be affected.
Lu Li even tested it out. These "insects" are considered a buff in the game store. Unless specifically requested for repair, the game store's healing will bypass the "insects." This is a sneaky way to gain access to the game.
However, since the nurse was now one of his own, Lu Li immediately controlled the "insect" to go to the source of the nurse's abilities. Here, Lu Li's Shadow Magic, the Giant Species' abilities, and the Beast Species' abilities intertwined.
The "insects" originated from Lu Li's Shadow Magic, and could naturally Integration into Shadow Magic, thriving like fish in water. As the Shadow Magic intertwined with the other two abilities, they entered and devoured it, but were quickly killed.
Lu Li carefully sensed the surroundings and, after discovering that most of the "insects" were dead, he cut his palm, letting the blood pool in Lu Li hand. Lu Li then used his Shadow Magic to cast a spell, turning his own blood into a healing potion, which he then fed to the nurse.
A new batch of "insects" Integration Shadow Magic and joined the battlefield. This batch of "insects," whether made with Lu Li's blood or for some other reason, had a reddish tinge and quickly dyed the remaining "insects" red as well.
They became even more ferocious, first devouring the Shadow Magic that resided within them, and then, with the help of this same source of magic, rapidly multiplied. They then invaded the other two sources of power, devouring, dying, changing, replacing, multiplying, and continuing to devour.
Seeing this, Lu Li quickly mobilized the magic power within the mask and poured it into the nurse's body again, giving the "insect" another boost. Gradually, the "insect" turned blackish-red and adapted to the Giant Species' ability to devour it, completely replacing it.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Li suddenly noticed the space shaking. He immediately realized that Domino had arrived, and this space was about to collapse. Before long, it would return to normal.
Inside the nurse's body, the "insects" finally devoured and replaced the Beast Species's abilities. The nurse and the mask's fusion rate continued to increase, reaching 99%. All the "insects" merged together, turning into a pool of black and red unknown matter, which became the source of the Nurse's abilities.
Outside, the nurse's body also began to change. Her legs fused together, her bones softened, and hideous dark red scales grew on her back, while her abdomen was covered with soft, white, small scales.
She opened her eyes, and through the mask, it could be seen that her beautiful eyes had transformed into vertical snake pupils, adding a touch of wild beauty.
"Hey, what's wrong with me..." The snake's tail twitched, and the nurse propped herself up, opening her mouth to speak.
The next moment, the nurse seemed dazed, and dark red magic gathered in her hands, transforming into a pair of syringes. Inside the syringes was some liquid, and Lu Li, relying on his connection, instantly knew what it was: Healing Potion, or rather, the "insect" of the demonic serpent.
"Master, what's going on with me?" The nurse looked confused, but after seeing Lu Li, her heart was instantly focused on Lu Li. Even just smelling Lu Li's scent excited her.
"That's really good. You were seriously injured before, so I made some minor modifications to you. Now, both your abilities and appearance are much more helpful to me." Lu Li looked the nurse over.
Excluding the snake tail behind her, the nurse was about the same height as him when she stood up normally, around 1.78 meters. Her upper body was covered by a tattered nurse's uniform, which accentuated her perfect figure. Her lower body was covered by a black, red, and off-white snake tail that was slightly curled up and swaying.
Looking at the nurse, Lu Li sensed something was off. After observing her for a moment, he noticed that the mask on her face hadn't changed. So he commanded her, "Lower your head and come closer."
The nurse excitedly Lu Li, only to be slapped on the head by Lu Li. Still groggy, she looked up at Lu Li.
Reaching out, Lu Li removed the nurse's Shadow Mask and discovered that behind it was no longer a dark, empty space, but a bewitchingly beautiful snake-like face. Of course, this snake-like face wasn't the kind produced by Korean plastic surgery; it was extremely natural and aesthetically pleasing.
The nurse, whose mask was removed, was somewhat flustered, but then touched her face in surprise. Without the mask, the nurse seemed a little weak. Lu Li thought for a moment and tied the mask to her left arm. Just like that, a delicate and beautiful snake woman appeared before Lu Li.
