Lin Xun thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to join the oath.

[You slowly step forward, and Flanda opens her arms and embraces you into her arms......]

[Loyal Apostle, you have joined the 'Primordial Fireflies' oath. 】

[In this volume, only one type of oath can be signed.] If you break your oath, you will not be able to rejoin the oath and will be permanently enmity between the oath faction and the friendly oath faction. 】

[Current Hostile Oath Faction: 'Desire Nurse', Current Friendly Oath Faction: None.] 】

[In Flanda's plump and soft embrace, you once again see the huge network of consciousness that encompasses all things in the world......]

[At the top of the grid, the black and white consciousnesses connect countless life forms, assimilating the consciousness colors of various lifeforms, devouring and encroaching on each other. 】

[You understand that the white part of the grid belongs to the Feathered Faction of the Desire Nurse, while the black part belongs to the Alien Oath of the Primordial Firefly.] 】

[Flanda's huge consciousness is the same as you, floating between black and white, it actively surrounds you, making you instantly feel the structure of the entire network of consciousness. 】

[The white consciousness occupies most of the grid, constantly eroding the black consciousness belonging to the 'Origin Firefly' camp, making the black consciousness occupy a very small area in the grid, which is somewhat precarious. 】

[When you see the whole picture of the consciousness network, Flanda sighs deeply and pulls you back into reality......]

[It let go of its hands, looked apologetic, lowered its eyes and said, I'm sorry, foreign child.] As you can see, the Fireflies are at a disadvantage in this war. 】

[Because of this, 'Firefly' gives it the ability to wander with you on the edge of the web of consciousness, which is a kind of protection out of helplessness.] 】

[You and it are both the consciousness of the 'nurse''s concern, if you are assimilated by the 'fireflies' when you join the oath, the 'nurse' can immediately perceive it, and thus send divine punishment on the territory of the kingdom of God.] 】

[No one can resist the wrath of the 'nurse', let alone that you and it are both in the realm of God......]

['Flanda the Oathless' speaks at this point, the abdomen of the huge insect squirms slightly, and you can see that something seems to be being transported to the second floor of the nest in the translucent tube that connects to its abdomen.] 】

[Flanda continues to tell that the mission given to you by Firefly is too difficult, and you are so ...... Weak. Sorry, it doesn't take you lightly, but the consciousness that can get the attention of the main deity is different. 】

[It is really dangerous to walk the kingdom of God with a weak body like yours, and it can only do its best to give you some help......]

[It has transported the 'help' that was given to you to the hidden sac on the second floor of the nest.] 】

[I hope you can get help in the future journey more smoothly.] 】

[If you are confused or bored during the trip, you may wish to come back here to talk to it...... Well, it's actually very lonely when it's trapped here, and if you don't dislike it, remember to come back to see it often......]

[You say goodbye to 'Flanda the Oathbreaker', take the elevator again, and go to the second floor of the ancient lair. 】

[In the circular passage on the second floor of the nest, an extraordinarily large hatching sac breaks through the wall. 】

[There is no flesh membrane on the outside of the capsule, and a large shimmering page floats in it......]

[You have found the fragment of the Book of Salvation - the Rest Page!] 】

[You enter the capsule, step forward and touch the page, and the powerful spirit resonates with the page......]

Lin Xun is overjoyed, he has finally found the save point!

He decisively set the ancient lair as a resurrection point.

[The capsule contains not only resting pages, but also two items that Flanda has given you, a fist-sized mass of flesh and blood that is still squirming slightly, and a stone that shimmers and fluoresces. 】

[You have obtained the 'Perfect Parasitic Factor' (Legendary Item)!] 】

[You have obtained 'Flanda's Glowing Stone' (Special Item)!] 】

Lin Xun hurriedly opened the inventory to check.

['Perfect Parasitic Factor' (Legendary Item): Flesh and blood tissue containing parasitic factors created by experimenting with a large number of samples, and only shells that match this factor can be used.] 】

[After use, you will change the nature of your body and comprehend special skills - 'Perfect Parasitism' and 'Perfect Transformation'. 】

Only the original 'Feathered Maggot' and the newly obtained 'Feathered First Parasite' in the shell slot are eligible for this item.

However, if you use it for the 'parasite', the Netherworld game will pop up with a prompt.

[This shell has a defect and cannot perform the full effect of the 'perfect parasitic factor', so please check whether to use it.] 】

For the use of 'Feathered Maggots', no similar prompt appears.

[You have used the 'Perfect Parasitic Factor', and your current body 'Feathered Maggotman (Moth-type Mimic)' has been transformed into a 'Feathered Fully Adapted Parasite'! 】

[You have comprehended the body skill 'Perfect Parasite'!] 】

Lin Xun opened the panel and found that the maggots' attributes had changed drastically.

[Shell - 'Feathered Fully Adapted Parasite']

[Real Name: Broken Bone]

[Phase: 137% (+55%) Phase: Exceeding the critical point, the quality of the body is improved!] 】

[Body Quality: Epic]

[Body Level: 67 (+12↑)]

[Body Equipment: Perfect Parasitism (Special Skill): Using this skill, you can parasitize all small, medium, and large insects that are still alive, and perfectly control the container. Due to ganglion limitations, you can't parasitize very large, super-giant bug-man containers. 】

[Body Skill: Perfect Transformation (Special Skill): Using this skill, you will be able to shed the current parasitic insect container without loss and return to the parasitic state. The molted container retains a brief activity for three minutes, during which time you can parasitize the molted container again. 】

"Shhh...... However, I am uneducated, and I am in the world. ”

The skills of defective parasites are limited to 'crustacean' wormmen, such as the mimic moth on the first floor of the nest, which cannot parasitize.

And today's 'perfect parasitism' can parasitize as long as it is a worm person, no matter what type it is, shelled, unshelled, winged, and wingless.

The only limitation is the size, too large a shell to parasitize, and a calf can't pull a cart.

The molting skill has also been upgraded to 'Perfect Transformation', which retains its activity for a certain period of time after abandoning the parasitic body.

Don't underestimate this skill, with a three-minute active time, Lin Xun can first shed the previous container after defeating the enemy, and then parasitize the enemy, check the panel comparison and then decide which container to want.

Flanda helped in one more way.

['Flanda's Glowing Stone' (Special 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.'] 】

[Due to Flanda's imprisonment, you cannot summon 'Flanda the Oathbreaker' through the 'Firestone Stone'.] However, you can use this item to prove your status as a Firefly Envoy and gain the favor of the creatures of the Primordial Firefly Oath faction. 】

"Damn, it turns out that the correct route is to save the maggots first, and then find Kim ......"

Lin Xun went around in a big circle in order to eat it all on both sides.

It wasn't until now that I realized that by getting the 'Firefly Stone' from Flanda, you can complete the achievement of eating both.

However, he didn't know that if he chose to save the maggots on the spot, Kim would turn around and attack, and either the apostle would die or Kim would die......

After he finished exploring the 'Ancient Lair', there were still two places left unexplored, one was the 'Border Prison' and the other was the 'Creeper Tribe'.

However, before exploring, Lin Xun decided to go to Kim for a showdown first, and in front of the genuine 'Firefly Envoy', Kim must reveal a lot of information.

As for whether it dies or not, what does it have to do with Lin Xun?

【……】

['Sending mole crickets' walked for a long time, and finally returned to the 'Firefly Spirit Temple'. 】

[You jumped off your abdomen, strode forward, and pushed open the gate of the Spirit Temple......]

[I saw 'Missionary Kim' sitting on the ground in a daze, muttering to himself under the mask, how did he disappear, how did he disappear......]

[When it saw your arrival, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it hurriedly asked, have you ever heard of an ability that disappears out of thin air? 】

[The maggot it rescued desecrated the idol of the Lord, it wanted to teach it a lesson, but it didn't expect that the maggot's body structure was too fragile, and when it was touched, it lost all its activity, and then disappeared......]

Lin Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to complain.

"You cut open my stomach, can you not die?"

He opens his inventory and clicks on the glowing stone that Flanda has gifted.

[You shake your head, indicating that you don't know what Kim is talking about, and then pulls out the 'Flanda's Firestone Stone' and shakes it in front of it......]

['Missionary Kim' was just about to continue his inquiry, when he suddenly saw the token in your hand, and his words were suddenly stuck in his throat, like a chicken being choked by the neck. 】

[Its expression is the same as that of a living ghost, pointing at you in disbelief, you, you, you are ......]

[You nod your head to indicate that it saw correctly, you are the messenger of the Lord, a fake 'firefly envoy', not an impostor!] 】

Kim muttered, "It, it...... Kim suddenly covered his mask, ran away without looking back, and grabbed the door ......]

[You hurriedly followed, only to see Kim riding on your 'post delivery cricket' that had not yet departed, and shouted to him, "Go quickly, go as far as possible!" It's going to the Hallownest Center to fight with the nurse, it's better to stay here and continue to be embarrassed! 】

['The post delivery mole cricket' blinked a pair of huge compound eyes, unmoved. 】

['Kim' seemed to be extremely ashamed, and kicked the 'post delivery cricket' several times, scolding that he knew how to eat and eat. 】

[It took out an unknown fungus plant, leaned out of its abdominal cavity, and threw it to the 'post delivery cricket'...... The fungi were still half empty, and they were intercepted by you who rushed to them. 】

[You have obtained 'Milk Matsutake Mushroom'*1 (item)!] 】

[You happily accept the 'milk milk matsutake mushroom', block Kim's way, and ask him why he turned around and ran away when he saw the 'Firefly Messenger'? 】

[Everyone should help each other ...... the same 'fireflies']

['Kim' reacted at this time, and said continuously, Oh, it turns out that you are also a 'firefly envoy', this is really a coincidence, it also happens to be ......]

【……】

[After you 'admitted' Kim's identity as a firefly envoy, it finally jumped off the abdomen of the 'post delivery mole cricket', returned to the spiritual temple with you, and did not forget to kick the 'post delivery mole cricket' a few times before leaving. 】

[Kim sits on a bench across from you and explains to you who it is......]

[It was born in a hidden lair deep underground, and from the moment it was born, it understood that it was different from others. 】

[The surrounding maggots sleeping in the sac are all failures, and can only gradually die in their sleep, but it has a magical parasitic ability, so it wakes up and gains its own consciousness. 】

[As the only semi-qualified product, like the rest of the worms, it indulges in the false memories created by the 'nursing mother'......]

[It should have given its body to replicate and study this parasitic ability...... Fortunately, it met the beautiful and pure maiden. 】

[The maiden is the youngest and most favored daughter of the 'nursing mother', in charge of the entire nest, leading the study of parasitic ability. 】

[That is, the girl told it all the truth and helped it escape from the demon cave.] 】

[The escape process is thrilling, no need to repeat ......]

[The girl sent it to the nearest 'tentacle city' to the nest and returned alone, and it didn't even have time to ask the girl's name, nor did it write down the specific location of the nest......]

[Even so, it still remembers the girl's voice and smile......]

[It has wandered in Tentacle City for countless years, using its parasitic ability to increase its strength step by step......]

【……】

[It rescues every mutated maggot and fabricates its identity as a 'firefly envoy' in an attempt to make the mutated maggot change their faith......]

[It knows that even if it is a mutated maggot, there is only an extremely slim probability that it can mutate into a parasitic factor, and most of them are real waste maggots. 】

[Even if some parasitic factors are mutated, they usually only have the ability to molt, and they may not be able to awaken memories of the underground nest......]

[But with a 1 in 10 million hope, it may be possible to learn the location of the underground nest from the memories of the mutant maggots.] 】

[It hopes to find the lair one day, when it will no longer be weak, it will kill all the believers of the despicable, and rescue the girl who is still trapped in the devil's cave......]

['Kim' seemed to have kept this matter in his heart for a long time, and suddenly met someone who could confide in him, and he couldn't help but pour beans to tell you everything about it. 】

"I see...... It's no wonder that when I was pretending to be a maggot, I heard Kim say that it had the same abilities as a mutant maggot. ”

However, Kim should not know that its so-called 'girl', that is, Flanda, has now become a terrifying appearance similar to the 'mother worm of war', only the upper half of the body still looks like a human, and the lower half of the body is simply indescribable.

"Should I take Kim to Flanda?"

Bringing Kim to the 'Ancient Lair' at this time will definitely trigger a special event.

However, Lin Xun suddenly realized that Kim was not a real 'firefly envoy', and he did not have the ability to wander on the edge of the network of consciousness given by the 'fireflies'.

As an alienated person with partial parasitic abilities, once Kim sets foot in the 'Ancient Lair', he may be detected by the 'Desire Nurse'.

At that time, not only he and Kim will die, but even the 'Flanda who has broken the oath' will not be spared.

"In this way, these two people probably won't see each other for the rest of their lives......"

He could only put aside the idea of letting the two meet for the time being.
