[‘Yi Sending Mole Cricket’ drilled into the ground, and its abdomen fell into darkness...]

【……】

The place where the maggots said "you can obtain the power of becoming immortal" is not far from the spiritual temple.

It took a few minutes to reach the destination.

[The vibrations subsided and the abdominal cavity opened...]

[In front of you is a very familiar underground space. The ground is covered with gray velvet scale powder, and there is a circular altar made of huge rocks in the distance. 】

[You have arrived at the ‘Feather Altar’! 】

[The maggot man quickly left his abdomen and looked towards the altar, only to see that the originally huge ‘Mourning Chrysalis’ had exploded into pieces of flesh and blood all over the ground...]

[The maggot man stared blankly at the fresh blood on the ground, then suddenly fell to the ground, howling loudly...]

[Why did he die? How could the ‘Mourning Chrysalis’ die! 】

[The blood stains are still very fresh, and the 'Mourning Chrysalis' died not long ago...]

[By the way, it must be that demon who did it. The demon left in a panic just now. It turned out that he was here to kill the 'Mourning Chrysalis'...]

[It turns its head, crying and complaining to you, it’s all your fault! Why couldn’t you come to save it earlier? 】

[If you can save it early, it can exchange the true power of emergence from the 'Mourning Chrysalis'...]

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

[The maggot man cried loudly and seemed to have lost his mind. No matter how you try to persuade him, it has no effect...]

【……】

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

This maggot man brought him to the 'Feather Altar', obviously wanting to sacrifice to the 'Mourning Chrysalis' in exchange for the power of becoming feathers.

As for who to sacrifice, there is no other choice except him who saved the maggot man.

"What a farmer and snake..."

Currently he has two options.

The first is to kill the maggot man directly. The plot event is interrupted here, and you may not be able to obtain rewards. At most, you will get a maggot man's body.

The second is to continue the plot events until the event is completed, and the underworld game will give rewards.

Of course Lin Xun chose the second option.

However, this maggot man seemed to have lost his mind and kept crying and talking about becoming immortal, becoming immortal...

In addition to appeasement and leaving, the underworld game does not give other options.

He frowned and thought, and quickly found a solution to the current situation.

Open the inventory and click on an item.

[You take out a glass bottle filled with blood, with tiny egg-shaped objects floating in it. 】

[The maggot man saw the ‘ceremonial blood’ in your hand, and his cries suddenly stopped.]

['Ritual blood' (ruined-level prop):...Using this prop, you will have a certain probability of entering the first stage of the feathering process! Please note that the feathering has a probability of failure, so please use this prop with caution!]

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

[You also took out a small palm-sized statue of the god. The shape of the statue is that of a 'desire wet nurse' nurturing the 'child' that you regard as a treasure. 】

[‘Miniature Statue of the Wet Nurse of Desire’ (prop):…Using this prop, you will pray devoutly to the ‘Wet Nurse of Desire’, thereby increasing the success rate of emergence with a small probability. 】

[The maggot man stares at the two items in your hand with a greedy look in his eyes.]

[It asks you if you can give it ‘ceremonial blood’ and ‘small idol’. 】

[You shake your head and tell it that if you want to obtain two items for feathering, you must pay the corresponding reward. 】

[The maggot man was a little ready to move, and seemed to want to step forward to snatch it, but after hesitating for a while, he still did not take action.]

[Its eyes flickered, and after a long time it reluctantly told...]

[As a newly born child in the ‘hatchery’, it is indeed a eliminated product that failed to mutate. 】

[Originally, when each child is born, he will receive the power of emergence from the ‘wet nurse’, as well as many battle memories. 】

[It failed to mutate and did not gain its innate power, but it gained something extra. 】

[That is a forgotten coordinate position. It does not know what is hidden there, it only knows that the destination is hidden deep underground. 】

[It can use unknown coordinates to exchange you for two items used for feathering.]

[Are you going to make a deal with the ‘Ecstatic Maggot Man’? 】

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

Lin Xun pressed ‘Yes’ to agree to the transaction.

[You trade both the ‘ritual blood’ and the ‘small idol’ to the maggot man. After it takes over the two items, it tells you the unknown coordinates hidden deep underground as promised...]

[You have learned the specific location of the ‘abandoned ancient lair’. 】

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [After the maggot man said the location coordinates, he ignored you and turned to study the ‘ritual blood’ in his hand. 】

【Do you want to leave this place?】

[You were about to leave, but the maggot man quickly stood up and blocked your way.]

[It means you should not leave in a hurry. Since you have just completed a pleasant transaction, how about another transaction? 】

[It is ready to start emerging immediately, but is worried that the demon named ‘Kim’ will come here during the process of emerging. 】

[How about this, if the devil appears, you will resist it for a while until it emerges. As a reward, it will tell you the coordinates of another place deep underground...]

[Of course, it would be best if the devil doesn’t appear. He will still pay you after he emerges.]

[Are you going to make a deal with the ‘Ecstatic Maggot Man’? 】

Lin Xun let out a long sigh.

"I originally thought that there were other plot events involving you, but now it seems... probably there are none."

He clicks 'Yes', agreeing to the transaction again.

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

[It threw away the empty glass bottle, carefully held the ‘small statue of the Wet Nurse of Desire’ and worshiped it devoutly, muttering a prayer in its mouth...]

[As the worship progresses, its silent prayer slowly turns into a muffled groan of pain, and then gradually turns into a shrill roar of pain.]

[The 'Feathered Maggot Man' could no longer maintain its worshiping posture. It kept beating the ground, and the skin of its body slowly shed off, replaced by a gray 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 chewing mouthparts. 】

[The 'Feathered Maggot Man' stood up. No, now it should be called the 'Feathered Scythe Blade Man'. 】

[It stared at the right arm that had turned into a sickle blade, and couldn't help laughing loudly. Is this the power of feathering? It's really wonderful!]

[‘The Emerged Scythe Blade’ looks at you and sincerely thanks you, Maggot Man, thank you very much for witnessing its emergence ceremony. 】

[But it is a pity that there is only one azimuth coordinate hidden underground, and it has already told you that coordinate. 】

[As a reward, or compensation, it decided to give you another gift...]

[The ‘Feathered Scythe Blader’ rushes towards you suddenly, the scythe blade on its right limb flashes with a sharp cold light...]

[The gift is—death!]

[Your whole body is full of true energy, and you can avoid its fatal blow by turning slightly sideways.]

[The ‘Feathered Scythe Blade’ was slashing wildly while laughing loudly. 】

[But before the laughter could leave its mouth, a sharp sword light penetrated its mouth, blocking the unbridled laughter. 】

[The sword light went back and forth, criss-crossing it, and soon pierced it into a sieve.]

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

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

[You defeated the ‘Feathered Scythe Blade’, and your experience points increased slightly! 】

[You have gained ‘strong-willed and weak spirituality’*1]

[You look at the dead body lying on the ground...]

['The Emerged Scythe Blade': This maggot-man body that once failed to mutate successfully transformed into a Scythe Blade after injecting the lowest level of 'ceremonial blood'. I have to say that it is really a lucky person. However,

The maggot man didn’t know that instead of failing in its mutation in the hatchery, it achieved unprecedented success. The similarity is 86% (55%)]

【Do you want to possess this body? 】

"Huh?"
