"Hidden mission! Hidden mission triggered!"
In the chat group of the players, there was a row of excited cheers.
Of course, there are also doubtful voices:
"I'm going... How come there is still a penalty for failure this time?"
"There is a penalty, but the reward is also very high, and there is an exclusive title! If you complete the task well, you will get it. With 5000 contribution points, you can directly change to a purple equipment, or draw five prizes, if you usually want liver It takes several days for the liver!"
"That just shows how terrible the punishment is... 5,000 contribution points..."
"Uh, be careful, don't waver."
In the chat group, players discuss each other.
At the same time, those players who originally planned to open waves quickly accepted their own thoughts.
Seeing that the players headed by Demacia, who had been eager to make trouble, were honest, Eve twitched her lips slightly.
There is nothing that quests and contributions can't control the player.
If there is, then more reward or more punishment.
At this time, the old man on the stage spoke up.
I saw him showing a wide smile, looking at everyone in the audience, hehe smiled and said:
"Welcome to the Church of Despair."
After speaking, those ordinary people who were standing with the players and had been controlled by the Abyss Worm bowed respectfully towards him, and said solemnly:
"Praise the Lord... the great God of Despair!"
It's just that their facial expressions are very rigid, even a little gloomy, and they look a little scary.
And the players quickly reacted. They learned from those poor creatures who were being controlled, and they said with a straight face and loudly:
"Praise the Lord... the great God of Despair!"
However, looking at the hundreds of respectful figures under the stage, the smile on the old man's face faded a bit.
"Hey... it didn't work."
He shook his head secretly.
without success
Although the old man's voice was very low, Eve, who has a demigod-level perception, still heard the other party's words clearly.
Suddenly, her heart moved, and she focused her attention on the shivering abyss worm on her body again, and checked it carefully.
And this look made her realize the difference.
"Huh? Is there something hidden?"
This time, Eve noticed that there was a hidden power hidden in these mutated abyss worms.
That power, evil chaos, with a deep breath of despair.
That is the power of Nidhogg, the Dragon of Despair!
This power is hidden deep, overshadowed by the evil aura unique to the Abyss Worm.
Even Eve didn't recognize it right away.
"So it turns out... These worms are not only a method for the Desperate Church to control other people, but also a method for selecting believers!"
Eve's heart moved slightly.
She changed her mind and directly killed the abyss worm in her body.
At the moment the Abyss Worm died, an evil force suddenly burst out from the opponent's body, instantly covering Eve's incarnation.
For a time, Eve felt countless ravings echoing in her ears.
It was the whisper of the evil god, the bewitchment of Nidhogg.
If it is an ordinary intelligent creature, when it hears these ravings, it will immediately fall into madness and become a fanatical admirer of Nidhogg.
Of course, for Eve, who has a powerful soul, this kind of babble is just scratching the itch.
"It turns out that... Abyss Worm is a means of controlling other existences, and it is also a means of detecting the potential of the other party."
"Although the mutated abyss worm is strange, it is also very fragile."
"For existences with strong willpower, they can rely on their own soul power to kill these invaders, and then... the ravings hidden in these worms will be inspired, and the other party will be completely transformed into their true believers!"
"Nidhogg... In this way, only those who have powerful souls are selected to become their true believers!"
An existence with a powerful soul has the potential to grow into a fanatic or even a saint.
The power of faith they provide to the true God is also stronger.
For a time, Eve quickly understood the other party's intention.
Thinking of this, she thought.
For a while, Bento, Hulu, Xiao Xianmiao, and Cuckoo Bird, who were at the top of the contribution rankings or battle rankings, also had strange smoke rising from their bodies.
The worms in their bodies were also killed by Eve.
Of course, Eve shielded their consciousness when the evil ravings appeared.
Seeing the evil aura that suddenly appeared on several people, the players were slightly taken aback.
At the same time, Xiao Xianmiao and the others were surprised to find that they suddenly realized a new skill—
【Transformed into despair scale monster】
"Huh? What kind of ghost skill is this?"
She took a screenshot and sent it to the group.
And soon, the crowd of other players was ushered in:
"I'm going to... transform into the Desperate Scale Monster? Isn't that the name of the monster who fought with Merrell before?"
"Why don't we?"
Of course you don't, because I picked people.
Eve groaned inwardly.
At this time, the old man on the stage was instantly refreshed.
He looked at the few people suddenly surrounded by evil energy under the stage, and his expression was excited:
"Five! There are actually five!"
But soon, he calmed down, and his expression became calm again.
I saw that he first laughed twice, and said to everyone in the audience:
"You... go back first and wait for my lord's summons again."
Then, he looked at Eve and the others:
"You guys stay."
"Fuck! Is this Xiao Xianmiao and the others selected by the system? What's the reason? I'm envious!"
"Ah! The follow-up hidden plot! It must be the follow-up hidden plot! Why not me!"
Seeing Xiao Xianmiao who were surrounded by evil forces, messages of envy, jealousy and hatred flashed through the chat group one after another.
"Because you are unlucky!"
Xiao Xian Miao typed happily.
Then, she looked at Eve again and chatted privately in surprise:
"Sister Feng, have you been hit too?"
Eve smiled slightly and replied simply:
"lucky."
And other players are still envious:
"Hey... Local tyrants are already enviable enough, why are they so European?"
"I found out that Africans are not suitable for this game..."
"Che, are the local tyrants and Ou conflict?"
Xiao Xianmiao pouted.
And as soon as the old man's voice fell, those ordinary people who were really parasitized by the abyss worms bowed and then turned to leave.
However, players were hesitant.
The chat group was still lively.
However, when they saw the failure penalty in the mission system, they finally swallowed their saliva, reluctantly learned from others to say goodbye, and then retired.
"Don't worry, I will broadcast the next episode live!"
Seeing the players exiting one after another, Xiao Xianmiao typed with a smile.
After the other players left, the old man nodded to Eve and the others:
"You come with me."
After speaking, he turned around and walked into the darkness.
And Xiao Xianmiao looked at each other and followed.
Eve took a half step slower and walked at the back.
And behind a few people, nearly a hundred desperate believers with hoods also put away the candles in their hands and followed their pace.
The group quickly entered the darkness, turned left and right, and finally came to a cave at the back of the ruins leading to the underground water channel.
Without hesitation, the old man walked in first.
A few players frowned slightly, turned off their olfactory systems, and followed suit.
Of course, while entering, they did not forget to turn on the live broadcast and video recording.
And those players who quit, also entered the live broadcast room one after another, watching the actions of several people.
The underground waterway is very deep and humid, and there is a misty mist at the same time.
Suddenly, a mouse was frightened by the sudden appearance of the team, jumped out from one side, and accidentally entered the fog.
Then, I saw smoke suddenly rise from its body, and the entire body was corroded into blood in the blink of an eye.
Seeing these mists, the old man's face suddenly became very cautious.
I saw him stretch out his hand, took out a lantern, and turned it on.
An obscure wave spread out, and the mist also dispersed slightly.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then moved on with the team.
"Be careful not to run into those mists."
he reminded.
And when the team entered, the fog slowly closed again.
The old man just held the lamp and walked all the way.
In the long and narrow passage, only the footsteps of a group of people are constantly echoing.
And after walking for about ten minutes, a huge stone gate appeared in front of everyone.
The stone gate seems to be quite old, with intricate and mysterious patterns carved and some unfamiliar characters painted.
Eve recognized it, it was the ancient dragon language during the Dragon Age, meaning "the place of life".
A place of life…
Eve raised her eyebrows slightly.
Dragon language, like Elvish language, is a kind of text with a strong sense of magic. Every word in Dragon language has a special meaning and also has mysterious power.
And "the place of life", in some translations of the dragon language, is also called the nest, or the source of birth.
in other words…
This is where a powerful being prepares to revive itself...
And who this powerful existence is, Eve already has the answer in her heart.
