Chapter 775

Mature parasites look like miniature wireworms in a movie, about as thick as a hair.

These worms are all interwoven into a new skin, just under the skin, as if they can touch human skin at any time.

It is estimated that they will eventually be completely transformed into the skin and tissue of worms.

At least at this time, these worms isolate the nerves, and the parasitic host can't feel any pain at all.

Rin secretly said that it was really troublesome.

This person has been completely bewitched and transformed by the worms. It is unlikely to pry information from her mouth.

So... is there any other way?

It would be great if I could use Qi Yu's method of forced memory search.

Well, let's see if there are any related secrets in the knowledge left by the witch.

Chapter 20 It's so scary

Winnie also turned around to ask the cactus placed on the side of the dressing table.

After a while, she returned empty-handed.

"There are too many people who have met her, and the plants can't be distinguished."

Rin did find a secret technique similar to searching memory.

But the problem is that this needs to be used in conjunction with the skill ring of the spirit system, and it is not unconditional.

Lin happened to have no relevant spiritual skills, only soul skills.

After thinking for a moment, he simply used soul communication directly.

Who would have thought that the moment he connected with the other party's soul, Lin saw a very terrifying huge worm in a trance, opening its head full of wriggling tentacles towards him.

Among those flesh tentacles, there were sharp teeth like lampreys, all opened and biting towards him.

Master Lin was instantly startled, and quickly cut off the connection and stepped back a few steps.

Winnie quickly embraced him in her arms.

Lin had no reaction and had not yet recovered from the scene just now.

This is a real 7D horror movie!

Even if he was used to all kinds of strange things in the trial of the dead city, he couldn't stand this sudden jump to the face.

This person's soul has actually become a part of the worm.

Lin estimated that if he communicated with the other party for a while longer, the system would urgently cut him off.

A pair of warm hands covered his head, gently soothing him.

Winnie was like a gentle elder, and asked softly: "Little Prince, are you scared? Don't be afraid."

Lin said stubbornly: "No! How could I be scared."

Then he shuddered, coughed lightly, and broke away from her arms.

Although Winnie gave him the feeling of a very kind aunt next door, he still didn't want to be too embarrassed.

He communicated with his soul and talked to Winnie in his heart.

"Just now I tried to connect with its soul and found that the other party's soul was the worm king, and it was ready to attack me. I was a stress reaction."

Winnie was startled at first, but quickly reacted and fell into deep thought.

"But what should we do now? We can't really watch them turn into worms."

Lin thought about it and suddenly said: "Forget it, never mind, let's go directly. Maybe if we kill the worm king, their transformation will stop. We can't waste time here."

But he was talking to Winnie about countermeasures in his heart.

"If the other party wants to delay time, then they definitely don't want us to arrive at the destination so early, and they will definitely stop us, and maybe even show up. I guess they have a way."

"But what if there is no such person at all, and it's just a coincidence?"

"Then just like I said, kill Ana directly. It must be hiding under the nearby sand dunes now, and we don't have to go far to find it."

Otherwise, by the time we go to the Death Desert Worm Land to find Ana, it will be too late.

This mission has a time limit, and there is only half a month left.

That is to say, in half a month, these people will die or turn into worms.

Winnie nodded in understanding, pointing at the Sim tribe leader who was looking at them with a sinister smile.

"What about her?"

"Take her away."

Rin thought that this guy might also be used as bait.

After the discussion, he took out the sonnet and knocked the other party unconscious, and then started the space transmission.

Winnie picked her up and followed Rin back to the rented room.

After returning, Lin said, "Let's go now, otherwise if someone finds out that we kidnapped their leader, we'll be in big trouble."

Winnie nodded: "Then I'll leave another letter, saying that we found the leader kidnapped by suspicious people, so we'll chase them together."

With her reputation, the adventurers must believe it. As for whether the Sim group believes it or not, she doesn't care, just leaving a high-sounding excuse.

Lin waved her hand, indicating that she was free, and then went upstairs to wake up Rafael and Xiye.

Without waiting to call Feiyue, she hurried downstairs, walking faster than anyone else, and still yelling.

"We are going to run away, right? I knew it, you guys forced me to steal things, and now I'm discovered, I'm wanted again, it's all your fault."

She didn't cry out of grievance at this time, probably because her personality has recovered a little bit, which is really gratifying.

Lin asked Feiyue to change the tribe leader's clothes and disguise himself into another face. Then he confined her limited magic power, and then opened the space transmission and teleported directly back to the camel beast.

It was late at night and the camel beast stayed quietly in the temporary animal shed.

Lin left the care fee, turned around and got on the camel beast, stretched out his hand to Rafael, and pulled her to sit in front of him.

Raphael was used to it, and he was not embarrassed, but pretended to be reluctant.

Winnie and Feiyue also had their own camels, and they found their own mounts.

The chief of the Sim tribe, who had changed his appearance, was directly guarded by Xiye.

The group set off, and Winnie, who was relatively familiar with the desert, led the way and hurriedly left the ancient city of Sim.

As they walked, Raphael fell asleep and could not help but lean on Lin.

After reacting, he stopped with a red face.

"I... I didn't mean it, I'm just... too sleepy."

She was of low level and had no more energy than others. She didn't sleep well during this period, so fatigue was inevitable.

Lin looked a little distressed, freed one hand, hugged her waist, and brought her to him,

"It's okay, lean on me and sleep for a while."

That rare gentle voice made Raphael's ears numb.

In the dream, a certain memory became clear.

Her stiff body slowly relaxed, and she changed her posture, sitting sideways on the camel's saddle, leaning in Lin's arms, closing her eyes, and suddenly felt at ease.

"What? You can be gentle, but you are always mean to me."

She said something vaguely, but soon she fell asleep.

They traveled day and night like this, and soon they were completely away from the ancient city and entered the Gobi Desert.

The third oasis refers to an area where small oases are connected.

In such a place, there are mostly Gobi deserts between cities and villages.

But the Gobi here, compared with the endless sea of ​​sand, at least people can live, and they can dig wells to live with the help of groundwater.

They bypassed the villages along the way and spent two days to arrive at Guhebao.

Here is an exit of the third oasis, and it is also the exit closest to the Death Desert.

There are many adventurers here, and their levels are relatively higher.

Risks often bring high income.

However, they will only wander around the periphery of the Death Desert and dare not enter directly.

To prevent being recognized, everyone made a simple disguise and pretended to be a native desert person.

Feiyue, who is good at disguise and imitating various local accents, is responsible for purchasing a large number of supplies.

While no one noticed them, the group hurriedly left Guhebao and headed directly to the Death Desert.

Chapter 21 What is coming is coming

After leaving Guhebao, their speed did not slow down much.

The number of camels is now enough, with a total of ten, one for each person and a spare.

Raphael was drinking yogurt at the moment, mumbling something with Xiye, and laughing from time to time.

I don’t know what interesting things they talked about, but the always serious sword saint girl couldn’t help but smile at Lin who was holding a book in her hand.

“Brother, you have been reading for an hour, don’t read it, it hurts your eyes.”

“Oh.”

Lin responded obediently and closed the book.

In fact, he was not reading most of the time, but communicating with Lina remotely.

Among the people he could contact, apart from Qi Yu, the wise man was the most knowledgeable and had a ready-made library to consult.

Rin had just started from the first story and asked Lina if there were similar events and legends in history.

It records some deserts and strange stories adjacent to the desert.

The first story tells about a beautiful snake.

It is said that there is a rare magical beast called a hundred-year-old snake living underground in the desert.

A hundred-year-old snake will not become an adult until it is a hundred years old. After adulthood, it will look for young and beautiful human women. After eating them, its upper body will transform into the appearance of the woman.

The beautiful snake cannot speak, but its IQ is much higher than that of the original snake form, about the IQ of a human boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

They need a lot of meat and energy to grow up, and humans are the best, so they use their beauty to seduce those male and female prey.

Lina told Rin that there have indeed been legends of snake women thousands of years ago.

For a long time, wealthy businessmen and nobles bought this kind of beautiful snake as a plaything at a high price.

The most aggressive among them were the royal family of Antia.

This kind of snake was originally very rare, and gradually disappeared.

After Lina gave Lina a general science lesson, Lin temporarily cut off contact.

The sun began to shine, and reading books for a long time was indeed not very friendly to the eyes.

The remaining camel beast snorted, and the hump on its body shook.

Lin turned his head and looked at the tribe leader trapped on a camel beast.

I don’t know when the big fish will be hooked.

It’s such a waste to let this guy eat and drink for free.

In fact, according to Lin’s meaning, she was full of worms and was about to turn into a worm. Her vitality must be very tenacious, so she could just leave it there and leave it alone.

But Winnie, in the spirit of humanitarianism, still gave some preferential treatment to the captives.

After walking for less than two hours, the group happened to encounter an abandoned village. They simply rested here and waited until the evening when it was cooler before continuing their journey.

In the desert, hiding during the day and moving at night is a more common way of survival.

There are many abandoned village buildings on the periphery because the oasis area as a whole will actually migrate slightly as the underground water changes course.
