Game of the World Tree - Chapter 302

302. Chapter 300 Mutated Abyss Worm

“Oh my god… What the hell is this?!”

Seeing the hideous worms rushing over, the players were shocked.

However, when they subconsciously planned to draw out their hidden weapons to kill them, they found that they had lost control of their bodies.

Under their feet, a huge magic circle was formed at some point, imprisoning their ability to move.

Around them, hundreds of desperate believers wearing hoods, holding candles, stood on glittering nodes, and silently chanted something.

“Imprisonment magic circle…”

Feeling the control from below, Eve’s heart moved.

However, she did not break free, nor did she help the players break free.

Because at the moment the worm appeared, she had recognized its identity through the inheritance of the World Tree:

“Mutated Abyss Worm…”

Abyss worms are a kind of low-level demon worms living in the abyss, regarded as food by many demons.

However, they are ordinary Abyss worms.

Abyss worms are very weak, but when such weak demon worms come into contact with powerful Abyss energy or some polluted mythical blood, they will mutate.

After mutation, the abyss worms will gain the ability to parasitize other organisms.

Although they are still weak, they can take advantage of other organisms’ unpreparedness, enter the other’s body, and eventually parasitize the other’s brain.

Then… the mutated abyss worms will regard the brain of the host organism as their home, absorb the other’s nutrition, and even interfere with the other’s thinking, and gradually eat away the other’s soul.

As time goes by, the host organism will gradually lose its soul and consciousness, become a body without self, and can only move under the control of the abyss worm…

It is precisely because of the peculiar ability of the mutated abyss worms that this weird creature is favored by many evil gods.

They always raise some mutated abyss worms to control other intelligent creatures or build their own army.

Obviously… the Church of Despair also does this.

Accompanied by the screams of female players and the scolding of male players, one by one, the hideous abyss worms found a target, bit through the skin of the other party, and drilled into the body.

Eve is no exception.

A worm also came to her, crawled up her legs and arms, bit through her skin and drilled in.

However, Eve did not stop it, but let the worm drill into her body.

She could feel that after entering the body, this strange worm went straight to the brain of this body, and quickly unfolded its body, turning into a net-like structure, waving its tentacles to wrap around the brain.

Just when the other party was about to touch the brain of Eve’s incarnation, Eve snapped her fingers calmly.

Then, the abyss worm stiffened slightly, lost the ability to move, curled up in the corner, and shivered.

Of course, Eve only used her power to control the other party’s actions, and did not kill it.

These abyss worms have all been recognized as masters by the Church of Despair. If they are killed, the other party will notice.

In that case, everything is meaningless.

Then, Eve’s eyes swept slightly to other players.

She saw that almost everyone began to twitch their bodies.

She knew that it was a sign that the Abyss Worms were about to take control of the brain…

Of course, the players had no souls, so even if the Abyss Worms took control of the brain, they could not affect the players’ thinking. At most, the players would be horrified to find that they had lost control of their bodies, and their bodies could move freely…

But Eve would not let these worms reach that point.

She quietly snapped her fingers again.

Then, all the players felt a warm force coming from deep inside their bodies.

This warm force rushed to their brains, and soon… the dizzy feeling gradually disappeared.

Of course, their bodies had not yet recovered control, and they could not even speak.

However, this time it was not the effect of the Abyss Worms, but Eve’s control.

At the same time, new system messages appeared in front of their eyes…

[Ding——]

[You are attacked by mutant Abyss Worms, and the mutant Abyss Worms begin to parasitize…]

[Ding——]

[The Abyss Worms have successfully parasitized and are beginning to try to seize control of your body and thinking]

[Ding——]

[Due to the favor of the goddess, the Abyss Worm failed to capture…]

[You get BUFF: Abyss Worm’s ineffective parasitism]

[Effect 1: During the period when the Abyss Worm is ineffective, it will be easier for you to disguise yourself as a member of the Church of Despair and gain the trust of the Church of Despair.]

[Effect 2: During the period when the Abyss Worm is ineffective, the speed at which you gain experience points by killing monsters will be reduced by 10%]

For a moment, all the players present trembled, and then gradually regained control of their bodies.

They looked at each other and saw a hint of weirdness in each other’s eyes.

On the surface, everyone remained quiet.

But secretly, the chat group was already lively.

“Oh my god… What the hell is this BUFF?”

Looking at the prompt on the interface, Hulu was shocked.

“Didn’t you see it? Register! With this, it should mean that we have successfully infiltrated.”

Demacia replied.

Quite conscious.

Looking at the messages sent by the players in the chat channel, Eve raised her eyebrows.

At the same time, she was also somewhat glad that she came here with a vest.

Unexpectedly, the method used by the Church of Despair to control others was actually the Abyss Worm!

It seems that… Nidhogg, the Dragon of Despair, has indeed fallen completely.

This time, if she didn’t come and control from a distance, it would be difficult to deal with the Abyss Worm attacking the player without attracting the other party’s attention…

Of course… Many female players were not so calm:

“Ahhhhhhh! What a disgusting BUFF, how can I get rid of this thing!”

“No… I get hairy all over when I think of a worm in my body.”

Even the always brave Xiao Xian Miao and Gugu Bird couldn’t help but rub the place where the worm just drilled into their arm, and frowned tightly.

However, considering that they had to complete the task, they finally suppressed their discomfort and endured it.

In addition, some players soon saw the DEBUFF that deducted experience:

“Why do you still deduct the experience gained?”

Someone was very confused.

“This should be a kind of DEBUFF. Be patient, and you will definitely be able to cancel it after completing [The Secret of the God of Despair]. And… it’s only 10%, and it doesn’t affect the experience gained from the task.”

A player replied uncertainly.

The DEBUFF was naturally added by Eve.

Controlling these abyss worms, preventing them from corroding the brain, and maintaining their survival all require consumption.

It’s just that Eve deducted all these consumption in the form of DEBUFF.

Well.

Just think of it as protection money.

And just after doing everything, Eve snapped her fingers lightly.

For a moment, all the players present received a new system task:

[Ding——]

[Triggering hidden task: Sneak into the Church of Despair]

[Task description: In order to explore the secrets of the God of Despair, you decided to sneak into the Church of Despair…]

[Task objectives: 1. Do not expose yourself. 2. Explore the secrets of the Church of Despair]

[Task rewards: 10,000 experience points, 5,000 contribution points, exclusive title “Infernal Affairs”]

[Failure penalty: deduct 5,000 contribution points]

It’s a hidden task!

Seeing the system message, all the players’ eyes lit up.
