Chapter 253 Abyssal Box Garden
The true image of Slymode took shape in Lu Yao's mind.
A master who is willing to do dirty work, good at taking the blame and being a villain, and can properly handle the interests of the gods.
A staff officer with strong life-saving ability and always observing many situations.
It inherited Cancong's position and became the eighth apostle.
The ability of [Incarnation into Billions] allows Slymode to always keep an eye on many places, as a vision master who sticks eyes everywhere.
There are also limitations on the ability - its body must be in this world to synchronously obtain the feedback from the limbs of this world. This is not a problem for Lu Yao.
Slymode described the cause and effect of being eaten by the cursed insects.
Originally, it was in the eighth floor, which was much larger than the previous floors.
There are many powerful gods there, and they spend most of their time consolidating their own territories, and occasionally hunt cursed insects that drilled in from the cracks. Slymode relied on his past skills to barely survive.
But for some reason, a large number of cursed insects suddenly poured in, causing the eighth floor to fall into a full-scale war.
The cracks in the space were densely covered in this layer, as if this space could collapse completely at any time, and the curse insects suddenly shrank after the crazy invasion and became orderly.
The gods felt something was wrong.
At this moment, the local area really collapsed, and a curse insect that had never appeared before emerged from the gap between nothingness and chaos.
It was called [Boxworm], level LV117.
When it came here, the boxworm just raised its antennae and greeted the gods: "So this is what the eighth layer is like."
The appearance of the boxworm made the gods a little suffocated.
Only in the leap zone can you break through LV99. The strength of the boxworm is equivalent to the body of the title god. It obviously has normal and clear wisdom.
The boxworm left quickly after a face-to-face encounter, and the power of rules quickly repaired a large number of cracks, but this has already made all the residents of the eighth layer feel great pressure.
Slymod decided to move.
There are seals between the layers of the abyss, but the curse insects drilled out paths, so they can come in from the tenth layer. Slymode's ability of [Incarnation Billions] can continuously split into limbs and enter each gap to try.
After continuous trial and error, Slymode finally found a relatively stable path that can reach the third floor directly, which is far away from the dangerous bottom area where the curse worm is located.
It came to the third floor and found that the prisoners here disappeared for some reason, leaving only an empty space.
Slymode realized that something was wrong.
The seal of the third floor was intact, but no gods or monsters were imprisoned. It could only be that the curse worm had come.
Then Slymode was blocked by the parasite worm. Under the situation of one strong and the other weak, its body was dismembered and became the host and long-term food of the parasite worm.
The limbs were constantly eaten away, but long-term analysis also allowed Slymode to learn the secrets of the curse worm.
The parasite worm first entered the second floor and captured the god of that floor, the Lord of the Sea of Stars. Being eaten by the parasite, the Lord of the Sea of Stars chose to self-destruct, leaving the parasite without a source of food.
So it swallowed the sealed fire of faith, drilled into the third layer, and attacked the prisoners here. The monsters in this layer are called twisters, which are powerful sub-dragons, but they all became food for the parasites.
Then it waited for Slymod to take refuge, which can be said to be waiting for the rabbit by the tree.
As time passed, Slymod's consciousness became weaker and weaker, and finally its core element capsule was also controlled by the parasites, causing it to become a muddle-headed regenerated meat.
With this, Lu Yao figured out the specific situation of the second and third layers.
It seems that the insect infestation in the abyss is getting worse and worse.
However, after being anchored, there are clockwork monkeys in the background to repair it, and the situation of the cursed insects eating into the abyss should be alleviated to a certain extent.
Lu Yao cast his eyes on the fourth layer, but it was pitch black here.
He checked the background rules and there was a relevant description under [Seal].
Before the seal is opened, it cannot be observed or touched.
Lu Yao did not choose to open the seal.
We have gained a lot today. The deeper we go into the abyss, the more complicated the situation becomes. It will take more than a moment to sort it out. It only adds to our troubles.
I will come back to clean up the curse bugs next time when I have time.
Before leaving, Lu Yao destroyed the gaps in this layer to prevent the curse bugs from the bottom from climbing up.
Then he opened a passage and led the apostle team out of the abyss.
…
In the water of the second layer of the abyss, the Lord of the Sea of Stars slowly revealed his muddy and blurred body.
He was seriously damaged and was still being repaired.
Before that, in order to get rid of the parasitic bugs, he had to destroy his divine body directly and use his [Mud Heart] ability to reshape his divine body.
The corpses of earth elemental creatures were scattered all over the water of the second layer, which were the key to the Lord of the Sea of Stars' revival.
Soaking in the water made him sting and fester all over, but compared with hatred and unwillingness, this pain was nothing to mention.
Being captured and imprisoned by the God of Darkness was the privilege of a powerful Lord God.
But being inhabited by parasitic bugs was because of a sneak attack.
If I had been prepared, that cursed insect would never have won!
The parasite insect even stole the [Wishing Star] that I had worked so hard to build, and it couldn't use it... Damn insects, it's really disgusting.
The Lord of the Sea of Stars silently endured.
As long as [Earth Element Assimilation] continues, the parasite insect's body will become slower and slower, stop moving, and finally become a static stone sculpture.
Insects are insects after all. No matter how powerful they are, they are just monsters controlled by instinct.
Dealing with curse insects requires patience and constant observation to find flaws.
When facing curse insects, the most dangerous thing is the encounter.
The Lord of the Star Sea also paid a heavy price for this and almost died on the spot.
Now that He has returned from the hell of death and pain, He will be the ultimate winner!
The Lord of the Star Sea entered the third floor again, only to find that the place became empty.
In the vast and monotonous huge cave, there are no bubbles of primitive life, and no trace of parasites can be seen.
It's a scam!
The Lord of the Star Sea immediately fled back into his second underwater hibernation.
His mind was running wild with analysis.
Those constantly dividing grid limbs cannot be eaten all so quickly at the eating speed of the parasite. Although most of the curse bugs are not smart, they can still vaguely understand that they only need to slow down their eating speed to get a steady stream of long-term food.
There is only one reason why the third floor is empty.
Other curse insects appeared from the cracks, so they digested this layer of grid limbs in a short time.
Whether they have entered other layers or are lurking somewhere, the Lord of the Star Sea knows that his plan to hunt parasites must change.
The curse bug called for help.
He was in a gloomy mood.
But the Lord of the Star Sea was not discouraged.
Now he has lost everything, no wishing star, no powerful divine body in the past, all his beliefs revolve around revenge - killing the parasite that brought humiliation to him at all costs!
I can afford to wait.
The Lord of the Star Sea slowly condenses the earth elements under the water.
He needs to be strong enough before he can act again.
The dead on the second level, give me your remaining bodies and strength.
I promise to hunt down every curse bug I see.
I will work day and night just for revenge and to restore the glory and pride of the earth element system...
…
On the first level of the abyss, a gentle voice sounded from a pair of brass armor.
"So, you think the gods have abandoned you?"
Several people from the Clay Clan nodded.
"In my opinion, that's not the case."
The man in the helmet laughed: "This is a trial and opportunity given to you by the gods. In this abyss full of dangers, only by believing in God Yao can you survive."
"This is the meaning of my presence here, I will help you move forward in sin and chaos. The way to hunt monsters is actually very simple, you just need to turn yourself into a monster."
"First, let's get that group of ghouls. They will be our first force."
Hai Zhe lowered his voice: "What we have to do is to provoke them to fight among themselves. For example..."
Soon after, a large-scale conflict broke out among the ghouls on the first level because the tomb was vandalized.
The Clay Clan appeared, took the initiative to repair their tombs, and built a new, comfortable, spacious and beautiful high-end tomb.
Soon, many nearby ghouls became staunch defenders of the Clay Clan.
…
Under the leadership of the Evil One, Hai Zhe, the Clay Clan began to dig deep into the first layer of the abyss, and unearthed numerous bone fragments and rotten corpses underground. They used clay to fuse with the ghouls, giving birth to a new race with both dexterity and strength.
