[The ghostly blue worm on your body continued to devour you...] [You died. Lifespan -1, experience -20...] [You revived nearby. Like a baby searching for its mother, the blue worm crawled toward you again and opened its mouth around your head. Your Health continued to drop at 200 points per second...]
"..."
In the real world, Mu You had been watching the developments in the game.
Since his character could not move, he could only see very limited information from his current perspective, but he had gained a preliminary understanding of the situation. The three clones must have killed the Fairy King, and the Night Watchman had entered the barrier in its place, suppressing Ju Snake.
But precisely because Ju Snake had fallen asleep, the worm that had been helping him resist Ju Snake's mental attacks lost its target. It turned back to treat him as a plaything again, and the rate at which his Health dropped instantly soared from the passive devouring of 10 points per second to the upper limit of 200 points per second!
Mu You had not cared much when it was 10 points per second. After all, his character's equipment alone could offset that, but 200 points was a little terrifying.
His True Life was still only 6 points, and his total Health was just over 70,000. At a loss of 200 per second, it would take only about six minutes to devour one of his lives.
The loss of lifespan was secondary. The real issue was Experience Points. With the penalty doubling repeatedly, it would soon reach a number he could not afford.
After thinking it over, Mu You took an Epic Grade Sweet Potion from the Ring. It was a by-product of his earlier attempt to make a Legendary Potion.
