Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 635 - 320: Cocoon of Mourning, Firefly Spirit Temple_2
"Foreign child lost in a foreign land, head to the heart of the Holy Nest, that is your home... "
"The ’Cocoon of Mourning’ seemed unable to bear the arrival of the grand will, its body rapidly expanding, and blasted open violently, spewing flesh and blood everywhere!"
"With the death of the ’Cocoon of Mourning’, the supreme will also quietly disappeared, leaving only scattered flesh and blood on the ground..."
"..."
"Foreign lost child..."
The sacrifice of a body had attracted the attention of a god, this one seemingly the ’Desire Wet Nurse’?
Lin Xun pondered for a moment, discerning the implications.
The ’Desire Wet Nurse’ knew he was a foreigner, which should be related to the recently sacrificed ’Master of Ogiwara Family’.
The prefix of this body was not ’Feathered’ or ’Mutated’, but ’Fire Worship’ which did not belong to this world.
There was a high probability that the god was noticing him due to the power of a sacrifice not belonging to this world.
"But... where is the promised reward?!"
The Downy Feather Altar was silent after the death of the ’Cocoon of Mourning’.
He had waited for a long time with no corresponding rewards showing up, and couldn’t help but vent his spleen.
Perhaps to the ’Wet Nurse’, the gift of a child’s audience is the ultimate reward?
Lin Xun’s face turned black, and he felt that he had been tricked by the underworld game again.
He was secretly annoyed. Although the body of the Ogiwara family lord was a chicken rib that was to be discarded sooner or later, this body was of high quality, of the same rank as the Earth Giant and the Direct Gaze President.
His intention was to exchange this body for a good reward, but he ended up getting nothing.
Lin Xun sighed and resigned himself to his bad luck.
He switched to the body of Star Lord Canis and prepared to leave the place.
"..."
"Suddenly, there was a sound from the ground in the distance, and a ’Relay Mole Cricket’ drilled out."
"A familiar figure in a black robe jumped off from the monster’s belly and strode towards the altar..."
"’Missionary Jinmu’ had splashes of blood on his black robe, and his fluffy hair on his head was a bit messy, as if he had just gone through a big battle."
"While walking towards you, he complained that you, the maggot man who seemed foolish, actually turned out to be pretty smart..."
"Being able to avoid being caught by the lord of the Hatching Ground proves that Jinmu’s judgment was not incorrect, you are indeed a special maggot man."
"He stepped onto the altar and was about to pat your shoulder and continue speaking when he suddenly saw the ’Cocoon of Mourning’ that had burst into pieces of flesh..."
"’Missionary Jinmu’ stopped in his tracks, pointing at you in disbelief, ’Did you kill the ’Cocoon of Mourning’?"
"He couldn’t help but cursed out loud, damn the maggot man! You are really stupid to the extreme! How could Jinmu have thought you were smart? "
"’Missionary Jinmu’ quickly grabbed you and ran towards the ’Relay Mole Cricket’ that hadn’t quite left yet. "
"He grabbed you and hastily jumped onto the belly of the mole cricket, bellowing at the mole cricket, ’I’ll feed you later, just run, hurry up!’"
"The ’Relay Mole Cricket’ chirped but stood still in place."
"’Missionary Jinmu’ was so anxious that his fluffy hair stood on end, he wanted to curse but held it back."
"He quickly took out an unknown type of fungi, stretched his body out of the belly, and threw it to the ’Relay Mole Cricket’."
"The ’Relay Mole Cricket’, after eating the fungi, quickly closed its belly membrane and drilled down into the ground..."
"..."
"As the belly became dark, ’Missionary Jinmu’ finally let out a long breath and collapsed onto his seat."
"He turned his head to look at you, scolding you straight away, ’You stupid maggot man, do you know what the function of the ’Cocoon of Mourning’ is? How dare you kill it?"
"Killing the ’Cocoon of Mourning’ will attract the attention of the Villain. Luckily Jinmu ran fast, otherwise both you and he would have died at the Downy Feather Altar!"
"’Missionary Jinmu’ rambled on, suddenly kicked the monster’s belly, and continued cursing, ’And you, this damn mole cricket! All you know is eat, eat, eat, a moment’s delay in our escape and none of us would have survived!’"
"Outside the flesh membrane, there were a few chirps from the ’Relay Mole Cricket’, seemingly aggrieved."
[...]
[After a while, ’Prophet Jinmu’ finally finished cursing.]
[The vibrations in his abdomen subsided, and light once again came from beyond the flesh barrier...]
[The ’Giant Mole Transporter’ opens the flesh barrier, revealing the world to you.]
[You are in a strange location you’ve never been before. This underground space is incredibly narrow and cramped, there is nothing but a derelict, small building in sight.]
[Nearby is what seems like a haphazardly constructed, shabby residential house, made of stacked bricks and chinks in the walls everywhere. There’s stained glass shards stuffed into several cracks.]
[The tremor caused by the mole digging onto the surface leaves the old house shaking precariously, as if it might collapse at any second.]
[Prophet Jinmu’ kicks at the Giant Mole Transporter and scolds it to keep the noise down: if the Spirit Temple collapses, it will be sent to keep The ’Cocoon of Mourning’ company.]
[He takes you towards the small residence, introducing with utmost seriousness that this is a sacred ’Firefly Spirit Temple’ hosting the statue of the they worship.]
[Ignorant maggot man, do you know how hard it is to build a Spirit Temple for the true deity in the realm of villains?]
[Don’t be fooled by the temple’s shabby exterior, sincere prayer here can still elicit the response of the true deity...]
[Remember, this is the realm of the villain! From this, it can be seen that the power of the true deity far exceeds that of the villains, the true deity is the only god in this world!]
[Prophet Jinmu’ pushes open the shabby wooden door and leads you into the ’Firefly Spirit Temple’...]
[The temple is very small: your eyes immediately take in all its furnishings - a few wooden benches, candlesticks and a small statue hanging on the deepest wall.]
[The statue is only half the size of a person, shaped like a firefly in flight, with a gem in its tail that emits a faint but never-ending firefly light.]
[Would you like to worship the statue and join the covenant of the ’Initial Firefly’?]
Without a thought, Lin Xun clicked ’No’.
[Prophet Jinmu’ didn’t mind you and prayed devoutly to the statue on his own...]
[You look around and suddenly notice a figure curled up in the corner.]
[You slowly approach and inspect it, finding it seems to be asleep, unmoving.]
[It has no insect-like organs and appears to be a completely normal human being!]
[Upon closer examination at his face, you feel a vague sense of familiarity...]
[Suddenly, you recall the maggot man you previously met in the hatching ground, it’s him!]
[How can he possibly be sleeping here in the ’Firefly Spirit Temple’ instead of his egg?]
[A feeling of unease rises in your heart.]
[’Prophet Jinmu,’ having finished his praying, slowly approaches you. Seeing you staring at the sleeping maggot man, he can’t help but start boasting...]
[Originally, he planned to take you to the ’Downy Feather Altar’ and let you see the despicable acts of sacrificial rites by these villains. By comparison, you would understand how great the True Deity is.]
[Even if you chose to go to the ’War Incubation Field’, it doesn’t matter, the maggot men are even below the mole transporter in the hierarchy of the villains’ realm.]
[Your end will only result in being caught by the lord, suffering a little bit of abuse, and then being expelled from the border the next day, leaving you to fend for yourself in the land of the misfortunate.]
[He intended to save you from the hatching ground today. Unexpectedly, you weren’t there but arguing with the immobile ’Cocoon of Mourning’ instead...]
[Luckily, Jinmu immediately arrived after he saved another maggot man, otherwise... hmm, by now, not even your body would be left.]
[You are gripped by an even stronger sense of unease. Looking at the bloodstains on ’Prophet Jinmu’s’ black robe, you cautiously ask him. Since Jinmu rescued the maggot man, what about the soldiers matured from today’s hatching ground...]
[’Prophet Jinmu’, proudly interrupts you before you finish speaking. Those low-level bugs created by the villain were no match for him. Being kind-hearted, Jinmu sent each and every one of them to meet the villain!]
[Then he scratched his head, continuing to say, it’s strange that while he was rescuing the maggot man, he didn’t encounter the lord or the guards who should have been in the hatching ground.]
Lin Xun grinded his teeth.
"Damn it, those guards were my crop, and now you’ve harvested all of them!"
He was so angry he could barely speak. Having been exploited by the ’Desire Wet Nurse’ just now at the ’Downy Feather Altar’, he was already brewing with anger.
And now, the duck that’s ready for roasting, the harvest-ready crop, the soldiers from the hatching ground have all been taken by Jinmu...
"You’ve done it now, Jinmu, it’s either you die or I do today!"
He opens his skill panel, preparing to use ’Big Dipper Sword Truth’, readying a single deadly sword strike to send Jinmu into heaven!
