Just as Lin Xun was about to kill Kim, the Netherworld Game showed text.

[Kim's chatter wakes up the sleeping maggots......]

[The 'Feathered Maggotman' slowly opened its eyes and saw Kim's appearance clearly, it screamed in horror 'Demon', and crawled to escape from the Spirit Temple. 】

[Kim spreads his hands, grabs the maggot who is about to flee to the door, and drags it back to the idol.] 】

[The maggot man struggled again and again, but how could it be Kim's opponent, and soon his limbs were tied, and the maggot man couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes revealed a thick fear. 】

[It suddenly saw you, who are also 'maggots', and hurriedly asked you for help. 】

Do you want to help the maggots escape from Kim's clutches? 】

Lin Xun realized that this choice was likely to be related to the side quests of the two oath camps.

Helping the Maggots should give you some rewards on the Feathering or Lust Nurse side.

And sitting back and ignoring it may have some benefits here at 'Kim'.

To be honest, Lin Xun doesn't have a good impression of Desire Nurse and Kim.

One prostituted his sacrificial husk, and the other snatched his leeks to be harvested.

Although there seems to be no subjective malice between the two, the nurse granted him the right to make a pilgrimage, and Kim went to the hatchery to rescue him, but objectively it did cause him a loss.

He narrowed his eyes and decided to eat both.

【……】

[Kim motioned for the maggot to calm down, but the maggot still screamed in horror.] It finally couldn't stand the maggot's noise in front of the idol of the Lord and reached out to knock him unconscious. 】

[Suddenly, the whole world was silent......]

Kim looks at the maggot, then at you, and sighs, now you know why it thinks you're special. 】

[In the maggot people with unsound brains, you are really a clear stream. 】

[Kim sighed for a while and asked how you thought about it?] 】

[After seeing the 'War Hatchery' and the 'Feather Altar', you should be able to clearly understand that in the eyes of the despicable, you so-called 'children' are nothing more than cannon fodder for war and animals for living sacrifice. 】

[Approaching the despicable, the final outcome is to be exploited to death, even the body after death has to be recycled and sacrificed, and the soul will become the food of the despicable......]

['Kim the Alienated Missionary' has invited you to take an oath, do you want to worship the idol and make a vow of the 'Primordial Fire'?] 】

[You slowly shook your head, rejected Kim's invitation, and sincerely explained to him that you need to think about it again, 'Tentacle City' is so big, you want to see ......]

[Kim stared at you like a fool for a long time, and then shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he retracted what he had just said, and among maggots with unsound brains, you are the most unsound one. 】

[Seeing that you look stubborn and determined, Kim sighed helplessly, stupid maggot, if you have to send you to death, even the kind Kim can't stop it. 】

[It throws you a scroll of membranous wings with many lines and marks drawn.] 】

[You have obtained the 'Map of Broken Tentacle City' (Map)!] 】

[You spread out the rolled transparent membrane wings in your hand and see that there are two locations recorded on it......]

[You have learned the exact location of the 'Border Prison'. 】

[You have learned the exact location of the 'Creeper Tribe'.] 】

[Kim looked at your back as he was leaving, hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped you. 】

[It pulls out a shiny stone from under its jet-black robe and throws it at you.] 】

[You have obtained 'Kim's Glowing Stone' (item)!] 】

['Kim's Glowing Stone' (item): A strange stone block that shimmers with a glittering light, similar to the gem material on the tail of the small god statue 'Primordial Firefly.'] 】

[Using this item, 'Alienated Missionary Kim' will lock your current location and rush to save you in danger.] 3/3 of the remaining number of uses】

Lin Xun was stunned and looked at the prop description carefully.

The missionary, Kim, though his mouth was a little stinky, did not seem to be a bad man.

Of course, Kim did this mostly because he was a developable 'parishioner'.

[You leave the 'Firefly Spirit Temple' and blow the 'Calling Piccolo'......]

[Soon the 'post delivery cricket' will emerge from the ground and appear in front of your eyes......]

Please select your destination. 】

[1.Encounter with the Rift]

[2.Tentacle Castle Station]

[3.War Hatchery]

【4.Down Feather Altar】

[5.Border Prison]

[6.Creeper Tribe]

Lin Xun thought for a moment, and then pressed the first option, 'Meet the Rift'.

[The 'post delivery cricket' burrows into the ground and heads towards its destination......]

【……】

The Encounter Rift is a long way from the underground kingdom of God, and it takes about forty minutes to reach the destination.

[The shaking has subsided, and you have arrived at the 'Encounter Rift'......]

[The land is desolate and desolate, and there is no living creature in sight. 】

[The gray light shines through the layers of dark clouds, and the whole world seems to have only this one color left.] 】

【……】

Lin Xun was originally going to find an opportunity to contact maggots when Kim left the Spirit Temple.

But now there's a better opportunity.

Open your inventory and click on the item.

[You pull out a strange stone that shimmers brightly......]

[You used 'Kim's Firestone Stone' (item)!] 】

['Alienated Missionary Kim' has locked down your current location and is rushing here in full force......]

He clicked 'Calling Piccolo' again and rode the 'Messenger Cricket'.

This time, the destination is the 'Firefly Spirit Temple'!

The speed of the 'post delivery crickets' was about the same, and it took at least forty minutes for the missionary Kim to arrive here.

And when Kim arrived at the 'Encounter with the Rift', Lin Xun had already arrived at the 'Firefly Spirit Temple'.

He had plenty of time to reap the benefits of the 'Feathered Maggotman'.

【……】

【……】

[You push open the dilapidated gate of the spiritual temple and step inside. 】

['Missionary Kim' is nowhere to be seen, and only a tightly bound 'maggot' is left in the temple. 】

[Maggots are placed on a bench by Kim, still unconscious.] 】

[You pat the maggot man in the face and wake him up from his slumber......]

[The 'Feathered Maggot' slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that you were the only one. 】

[It motioned to untie it and escape from the demon's temple as soon as possible, lest the demon return to this place.] 】

[Do you want to loosen it?] 】

[You untie the rope from the maggot man and take it out of the spiritual temple......]

[The maggots tell you that the duty given to it by the great 'nurse' is to go to the front lines of war and fight against demons. 】

[But unfortunately, it failed to inherit the true power of feathering, and became a maggot with no use.] 】

[As a good-for-nothing maggot, the only end is to be expelled from the kingdom of God......]

[It doesn't want to leave the kingdom of God, it wants to stay in the kingdom of God......]

['Feathered maggot' suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and it looked you up and down, its eyes thoughtful......]

[The maggots tell you that it remembers a place where it can obtain true feather power, and if it wants to stay in the kingdom of God, it must go there and get rid of the maggot-man identity. 】

[You are maggots with it, you should help each other, it will take you to that place now, and when it and you have become excellent children of 'nursing mothers', you can go to the front line together and fight the demons......]

[Are you going to walk with the 'Feathered Maggot'? 】

[You blow the 'Call Piccolo', and soon the 'Post Mole Cricket' appears in front of you......]

[The maggot urges you to sit in the abdominal ......]

[The 'post mole cricket' burrowed into the ground, and the abdominal cavity fell into darkness......]

【……】

The place where the maggots said that 'feathering power can be obtained' is not far from the Spirit Temple.

It took a few minutes to reach the destination.

[The shaking subsides, and the abdominal membranes open......]

[In front of me is a very familiar underground space, the ground is covered with gray fluffy scale, and in the distance there is a circular altar made of huge stones.] 】

You have arrived at the 'Altar of Feathers!' 】

[The maggot man quickly left his abdomen and looked at the altar, only to see that the behemoth 'Chrysalis of Mourning' had exploded into pieces of flesh and blood all over the ground......]

[The maggot stared blankly at the fresh blood stains on the ground, and suddenly fell to the ground, howling and crying......]

[Why did you die?] How can the 'chrysalis of mourning' die! 】

[The blood is still fresh, and the 'Chrysalis of Mourning' has only died recently......]

[By the way, it must have been the demon who did it, just now the demon left in a panic, it turned out that he came here to kill the 'Chrysalis of Mourning'......]

[It turned its head and cried and complained to you, it's all your fault! Why couldn't you have come and save it sooner? 】

[If you can save it sooner, it can exchange the 'Chrysalis of Mourning' for true feathering power......]

[Now that the 'Chrysalis of Mourning' is dead, how can it get rid of its identity as a maggot?!] 】

[The maggot screamed loudly, it seems that he has lost his mind, no matter how you persuade him, it will not work......]

【……】

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

The maggot man brought him to the 'Altar of Feathers', apparently intending to offer sacrifices to the 'Chrysalis of Mourning' in exchange for the power of feathering.

As for who to sacrifice, there is no second choice here except for him who saved the maggots.

"What a farmer and a snake......"

At the moment he has two options.

One is to kill the maggot man directly, and the plot event is interrupted at this point, and you may not be able to get a reward, and you can get a maggot shell at most.

The second is to continue the plot events until the events are over, and the Netherworld game will give rewards.

Lin Xun, of course, chose the second option.

However, this maggot seems to have lost his mind, and has been crying and chirping, muttering about feathering, feathering......

Other than to appease and leave, the game of the underworld gives no other option.

He frowned and pondered, and soon found a solution to the current situation.

Open your inventory and click on an item.

[You pull out a glass vial filled with blood, and tiny egg-like objects float in it.] 】

[When the maggots saw the 'ritual blood' in your hand, their cries stopped abruptly. 】

['Ritual Blood' (Ruined Item): ...... With this item, you will have a certain chance of entering the first stage of the feathering process! Please note that there is a chance that feathering will fail, so please use this item with caution! 】

Lin Xun continued to click on another item in the inventory.

[You take out a small statue the size of a palm, and the idol is in the form of a 'Desire Nurse' nursing her precious 'child'. 】

['Small Idol of the Lustful Nurse' (item): ...... By using this item, you will pray to the 'Lust Nurse', which will increase the success rate of feathering in a small way. 】

[The maggot man stared at the two items in your hand, his eyes full of greed. 】

[It asks if you can give it 'ritual blood' and 'small idols.'] 】

[You shake your head and tell it that you have to pay for the two items you want to feather.] 】

[The maggot was a little impatient, as if he wanted to step forward and snatch it, but he hesitated for a while and still didn't take action. 】

[Its eyes flickered, and after a long time, it was unwilling to tell ......]

[As a newly born child of the 'hatchery', it is indeed an obsolete product of mutation failure. 】

[Originally, at the beginning of each child's birth, they would have obtained the feathering power from the 'nursing mother', as well as many battle memories. 】

[Mutation failed, it did not gain innate power, but it did gain something extra. 】

[It was a forgotten coordinates, it didn't know what was hidden there, only that its destination was hidden deep underground.] 】

[It can exchange the unknown coordinates and directions with you for two items used for feathering.] 】

[Do you want to make a deal with the 'Feathered Maggot?' 】

"It turns out that the reward is a hidden map......"

Lin Xun pressed 'yes' and agreed to the transaction.

[You traded both the 'Ritual Blood' and the 'Small Statue' to the Maggot, and after it took the two items, it also told you the unknown coordinates hidden in the depths of the earth......]

[You have been informed of the exact location of the 'Abandoned Ancient Lair'.] 】

[After the maggot finished talking about the location and coordinates, he ignored you and turned to study the 'ritual blood' in his hand. 】

Are you leaving? 】

[You were just about to leave, but the maggot man hurriedly got up and blocked your way. 】

[It means that you don't rush to leave, since you have just completed a pleasant transaction, how about another transaction?] 】

[It prepares to begin feathering immediately, and fears that the demon named 'Kim' will come here during the feathering process.] 】

[It's better to do this, if the demon appears, you can resist it for a while until it finishes feathering, and in return it will tell you the coordinates and directions of another place hidden deep underground......]

[Of course, it's best if the demon doesn't appear, and it will pay you when it finishes feathing.] 】

[Do you want to make a deal with the 'Feathered Maggot?' 】

Lin Xun let out a long sigh.

"I thought there were other plot events in you, but now it seems that ...... Eighty percent of them are gone. ”

He clicks 'yes' and agrees to the deal again.

[The maggot man no longer pays attention to you, opens the glass bottle filled with 'ritual blood', and pours the entire bottle of blood into his body.] 】

[It throws away the empty glass bottle, carefully holds the 'small idol of the Desire Nurse' and worships reverently, and silently recites the prayer in its mouth......]

[As the worship progresses, its silent prayer slowly turns into a muffled grunt of pain, and then gradually turns into a terrible roar of pain. 】

[The 'Feathered Maggot' was no longer able to maintain a worship posture, and it kept pounding the ground, and the skin of its body slowly shed off, replaced by a grayish and hard carapace......]

[A pair of black and white eyeballs transform into pure black compound eyes, which are full of honeycomb-shaped hexagonal small eye surfaces.] 】

[The lips of the mouth also began to transform, turning into hideous and terrifying chewing mouthparts.] 】

[The 'Feathered Maggotman' stands up, no, it should be called the 'Feathered Scythe' now.] 】

[It stared at its right arm, which had been turned into a scythe, and couldn't help laughing, is this the power of feathering?] It's just wonderful! 】

[The Feathered Scythe looks at you and sincerely thanks, Maggot, thank you very much for witnessing its feathering ceremony.] 】

[But it's a pity that there is only one place of bearing coordinates hidden underground, and it has already told you the coordinates of that place.] 】

[In return, or compensation, it decides to give you another gift......]

[The Feathered Scythe slams swooped down on you, the scythe blade of his right limb flashing with a sharp chill......]

[The gift is death!] 】

[You are full of true yuan drumming, and you dodged its fatal blow by turning sideways slightly. 】

[The Feathered Scythe slasher laughs out loud as he slashes wildly.] 】

[But before the laughter could be spoken, a sharp sword light pierced through its mouthparts, blocking the unbridled laughter. 】

[The sword light went back and forth, and soon it was pierced into a sieve. 】

[The 'Feathered Scythe' slowly fell to the ground, its limbs twitching, it looked at you in disbelief and muttered, you, you are obviously just a low-level maggot! 】

[And it has mastered the true power of feathering, how could it be, how could it be like this......]

[You defeated the 'Feathered Scythe', and your experience points increased slightly!] 】

【You have gained 'Weak-willed Spirituality'*1】

[You look at the dead body that fell to the ground......]

['Feathered Scythe': This maggot shell that once 'failed to mutate' was successfully feathered into a scythe after being injected with the lowest level of 'ritual blood', I have to say that it is really a lucky one. Unbeknownst to the maggot, however, its mutation in the hatchery had not failed, but had been an unprecedented success. Phase 86% (+55%)】

Do you want to possess the shell? 】

"Huh?"

"Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this shell?"
