Chapter 1096: Chapter 501 Deepening the Contract

The Fairy King returned to the barrier in an instant, and the snake riot immediately slowed down. More than a dozen venomous snakes surged forward, smashing against the edge of the barrier, shattering into pieces like paper mâché until they dissipated.

Remaining venomous snakes then gave up and turned back to continue surrounding the three split personalities.

"So what exactly is the situation now?" Watchman looked at the Medicinal Plant Gatherer who jumped back into the circle and asked.

"I don’t know..." the Medicinal Plant Gatherer said impatiently.

"We can’t possibly be fighting snakes here forever, can we?" Ling Long said with a horrified face.

"I mean, these things don’t look like they can be finished off... Shall we immediately take the main body and run?" Watchman asked.

...

The two exchanged queries, all directed at the Medicinal Plant Gatherer who, by default, had been designated as the decision-maker in the absence of the main body.

While busy facing the enemy, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer also had to endure the bombardment of questions from both sides, causing him to feel somewhat irritated and confused.

At that moment, his expression suddenly became stern, as his peripheral vision caught a dark shadow rapidly breaking through the darkness, darting straight towards the main body.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer instinctively jumped out, landing in front of Mu You, swinging his sickle, slashing at the incoming shadow.

"Wait! Don’t kill her, she is..."

Just when his sickle was about to strike the shadow, another familiar voice rang out from behind.

Medicinal Plant Gatherer frowned, pausing his sickle mid-air without chopping down.

The shadow that raced towards them was now completely revealed. It was a bizarre pale blue worm completely enveloped in thick dark mist, its length reaching three to four meters.

The worm had a huge gaping mouth, ignoring Watchman and went straight for Mu You. Medicinal Plant Gatherer, holding his sickle, hesitated for a second but did not swing.

Because after synchronizing memories with the main body, he recognized the worm at that moment, the previously unnamed fairy, although he did not expect that she had turned into a monster.

According to the Fairy Race, monsters were formed from the fairies after their death. However, from this monster, Medicinal Plant Gatherer sensed a sliver of lingering sanity, meaning, it was very possible that the fairy girl was not entirely dead.

Medicinal Plant Gatherer withdrew, and the worm quickly squirmed in front of Mu You, its body engulfed in swirling dark mist.

Soon after, from the darkness behind, a red-haired, red-winged fairy flew out; it was Tina.

"Miss Tina? How are you here? I thought fairies couldn’t enter the dark cave? How did you find this place?" Watchman exclaimed upon seeing the red fairy.

"You’re Tina’s contractor. Tina can vaguely sense your location, though very hazily, just a general direction. It was only by her guidance that Tina found this place..." Tina pointed at the distant worm.

"Her?"

The three looked back at the worm again, only to see that this enormous creature had already collapsed next to Mu You, its mouth wrapping around his head, drooling profusely, seemingly trying to swallow him down.

"What’s going on here? This child looks like she’s planning to devour the main body?" Watchman asked.

"Even if she devoured him, it’s just a game character. He’ll revive, probably..." Ling Long said uncertainly.

"What happened? Why did she turn out like this?" Medicinal Plant Gatherer frowned towards Tina.

Tina, startled by Medicinal Plant Gatherer’s serious expression, hurriedly floated behind Watchman before timidly poking her head out to explain what had happened at the entrance of the dark cave earlier.

"Could it be following a yandere route? Blackened and therefore wants to devour the main body out of spite?" Ling Long mumbled to herself.

"Regardless, shouldn’t we intervene? If we don’t do something soon, the main body might actually get eaten..." Watchman said helplessly.

Under the relentless effort of that blue worm, at this moment, one third of Mu You’s body had already been swallowed by it.

Medicinal Plant Gatherer frowned as he glanced at the worm on the ground, shook his head, "Let’s just wait and see. It can’t get any worse than this..."

...

While the three were busy dealing with the snake swarm, in reality, Mu You also immediately sensed something odd.

"Uh? Is the Deviation Value increasing slower?"

Mu You sensed the quantity of Red Runes within his body.

Since a moment ago, the steadily increasing Deviation Value suddenly slowed down. Although the decrease in speed was minimal, Mu You immediately noticed this slight change.

Mu You quickly guessed that something must have happened on the side of his split personalities and hurriedly took out his phone to check.

[A blue worm is lying on your body, trying hard to swallow you into its body.]

[From this worm, you sense a familiar aura, this is the monster version of your contracted fairy.]

[But the fairy now is obviously no longer the gentle and kind fairy girl you knew but a monster with only the desire to devour you left in her.]

emmm...

Mu You looked puzzled. He’d only been away from the game for a short while; how could it suddenly develop in such a strange direction? Where did the fairy girl come from? She turned into a monster and now wants to eat him?

Game text continued to pop up.

[While being devoured, you feel that the pale blue worm still retains some sanity. You see tears in its eyes as it devours you. As the unnamed fairy’s contractor, you can faintly sense the worm’s heart-wrenchingly pleading: it’s begging you not to abandon it, to open your heart to it and accept everything about it.]
