"In ten minutes we will have to rush to meet our employer. Everyone be prepared for battle. The journey there and the journey there will not be easy."

Upon hearing that the battle was about to begin, Chen Jiaxu nervously swallowed, feeling his legs trembling. He quickly bent down and tapped them. He wanted to calm down, but the thought that this was already the difficulty of the sixth mission world made him unable to suppress his fear.

"You need to work on your courage."

Chen Jiaxu looked at Liu Dongcheng with a bitter face and said dejectedly, "This is not something that can be trained. I watched a lot of horror movies in my room before I came out, but I'm still afraid of what I should be afraid of here."

"If you keep going like this, you're bound to get into trouble sooner or later."

Just as Chen Jiaxu was about to speak, he suddenly felt a chill in his ear. Goosebumps instantly rose on his back. He jumped to Liu Dongcheng's side, suppressing his fear, and whispered, "Something just passed right next to my head!"

Liu Dongcheng, who was about to push Chen Jiaxu away, frowned and looked around.

They had already turned on the lighting props after getting off the bus. While they couldn't see clearly several meters away, they could still see clearly the small area where they were standing. Chen Jiaxu said that something had just passed by his head, but they clearly didn't see anything.

After carefully looking around, Mo Shuwan looked at Chen Jiaxu, who was almost crying from fright, and asked, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Chen Jiaxu shook his head frantically, "I'm sure I didn't feel anything wrong. You can touch my ears; they're still cold. Something definitely passed by my ear just now!"

Because Chen Jiaxu was too timid, it was hard to be sure that he wasn't just misperceiving due to excessive fright. So when he said that his ears were still cold, Mo Shuwan reached out and touched Chen Jiaxu's ears. The moment her hand touched Chen Jiaxu's ears, her expression changed drastically, and she suddenly threw Chen Jiaxu to the ground, "Don't move!"

Mo Shuwan's reaction made Chen Jiaxu's heart jump. He lay on the ground trembling, not daring to move at all.

Mo Shuwan, who was holding Chen Jiaxu down with one hand, quickly took out a flame card and placed it on Chen Jiaxu's ear, saying, "You have to bear it no matter how much it hurts!"

Chen Jiaxu panicked and asked with a mournful face, "Captain, did something get into my ear?"

Mo Shuwan didn't answer. She activated the Flame Card and then took out several bottles of recovery potions. Wen Zuo had already squatted down to help her hold down Chen Jiaxu, so now she had the free time to stare intently at Chen Jiaxu's ears.

The excruciating burning pain caused Chen Jiaxu to instinctively begin to struggle. He completely forgot Mo Shuwan's instructions and struggled violently while crying out in pain.

"It's a parasite."

Seeing the worm crawling out of Chen Jiaxu's ear, Mo Shuwan quickly extinguished the flames with a recovery potion, reached out and grabbed the struggling black worm, pulling it out. She didn't dare let the parasite stay between her fingers for too long, and immediately threw it on the ground, burning it to death with a flame card before it could escape.

All of this happened very quickly. Chen Jiaxu was still howling in pain when Mo Shuwan had already caught the parasite.

After his ear was treated and he finally recovered, Chen Jiaxu stared at the wisps of ashes left on the ground after the parasite had been burned, his eyes bloodshot. "What just got into my ear was one of those worms that multiply rapidly inside a parasite's body?"

Mo Shuwan nodded.

Chen Jiaxu suddenly covered his ears, his emotions nearly collapsing.

Once the parasites of the dark world find their prey, they will directly enter the prey's body. They feed on darkness and absorb a large amount of dark elements into the prey's body as they reproduce inside it. Prey that cannot withstand the dark elements will weaken in a very short time. As the parasites multiply more and more inside the prey, they will take over control of the prey's body.

From then on, even if you are still alive, your body is no longer under your own control, and you become a mobile 'house' for the parasite.

In short, this insect is one of the most disgusting monsters in the dark world.

This is why Chen Jiaxu collapsed. If he hadn't been so timid, he might have ignored the cold sensation in his ear.

Suddenly, a curtain of light appeared in the darkness in the distance.

After glancing at him, Mo Shuwan turned to look at the dazed Chen Jiaxu and frowned, saying, "This is just the beginning. We'll be living here for a full month. If you can't adjust your mindset, you'll die here sooner or later."

Mo Shuwan's stern tone calmed Chen Jiaxu down a little. "I understand."

“The defensive talisman can’t stop the parasites. If you feel any discomfort or feel your body being touched by anything, you must stop immediately and check.” After saying that, Mo Shuwan glanced at Yun Chenjing, who had been completely invisible since the beginning, bent down and picked up Hope, who was standing obediently against her feet, and said, “Let’s go.”

At the same time, two other teams were rushing towards the light screen from two different directions, and it seemed that monsters were also moving in the darkness.

Chen Jiaxu chose a manual that relied on external forces, such as the Water Conveying Manual, which made him much weaker in terms of physical fitness. He couldn't keep up with Mo Shuwan and the others, so they had no choice but to slow down and walk alongside Chen Jiaxu.

Yun Chen, who had run a long way, stopped and looked at Mo Shuwan and the others who were far behind. After scanning them over, he turned around and walked back. Before they could react, he grabbed Chen Jiaxu under his arm with one hand.

"Hurry up."

"...I can walk by myself!"

Yun Chen ignored Chen Jiaxu struggling under his arm, frowned and reached out to pull Mo Shuwan, "Mother, a powerful being is coming, we must leave quickly."
