"Riftworms, also known as voidworms or starworms, are creatures that came to this world from a demiplane through a space-time rift.
Riftworms have no reproductive ability. Ever since that old fellow, the Spacetime Dragon, destroyed that demiplane with his breath, riftworms have gradually disappeared from the main world. I didn't expect you to encounter one again."
Hearing that it was a visitor from another world, Krober became even more curious, but for now it was more important to deal with the business first.
"How strong is this rift worm? How can we deal with it?"
On the other side of the Soul Contract, Shen Zi, whose sleep was disturbed, slapped the ground with his tail in dissatisfaction.
"The Riftworm itself is a magical creature, but it has no combat capabilities. Its few abilities are to absorb magic power, split into flesh and blood, and corrode.
Absorbing magic power is actually parasitism. It can parasitize another magical life and complete its growth by absorbing the other party's magic power.
Erosion is the purpose of parasitism. When the magic power of a magical creature is completely absorbed, the rift worm can completely devour the parasitized magical creature through erosion. Not only will it be greatly enhanced, but it will also gain some of the abilities of the parasitized creature.
The flesh and blood clone is its only ability to act on the outside world. It uses magic power to construct flesh and blood, giving it a certain level of combat power."
Looking at the pustules on the Venus Flytrap Elf's body, Kroeber knew that these were probably the marks of erosion caused by the rift worms parasitizing on its body.
Krober touched the Venus Flytrap Elf's head and signaled it not to worry, he would find a way to deal with the rift worm.
At this moment, Deep Purple's words echoed from Krober's heart through the psychological contract.
"You have to be careful. If a rift worm parasitizes an elf, the rift worm is not in the elf itself, but in the Cordyceps."
Wait? Cordyceps? Doesn't that mean...
Kroeber turned his attention to the giant Venus flytrap lying dead on the ground.
At this time, the giant Venus flytrap was still motionless, lying obediently on the ground.
"Can I contract a parasitic spirit? I'm completely clueless right now and can't find the Riftworm at all."
“If it were someone else, it definitely wouldn’t work, but for you, just make a contract.
If that unfortunate Riftworm dares to come through the contract and absorb your mental power, you can just eat it directly.
They're all magical creatures anyway, so they should taste pretty much the same. You can just use your strengths to trick it into coming over."
He ignored Shen Zi's sarcastic words.
Because he knew that he was the one who suddenly woke it up, Shen Zi was in a bad mood after waking up.
Kroeber held out his finger in front of the Venus Flytrap elf.
"Make a contract with me, little one, and I'll help you get these parasites out of your body."
When the Venus Flytrap Elf saw the finger that Kroeber extended, his eyes were full of hope and excitement, but he was also worried that his condition would drag down the kind-hearted person who fed him food.
“Chirp.”
Seeing the expression of the elf in his arms, how could Krober not know what it was thinking? He sighed in his heart at the kindness of the elf and stretched his finger forward a little again.
"Chirp?"
"Trust me, little one, and see how I can help you solve them."
Perhaps Kroeber's confidence infected the Venus flytrap elf, or perhaps it was its own desire to survive that prompted this action.
As the contract was concluded between the man and the elf, Krober also felt that the elf in his arms had a blood connection with him.
Contract, concluded!
"I know it, Chirp, Chirp! Just call me Chirp."
After giving Jiujiu a name, Krober quickly asked about the location of the rift worm.
But before Kroeber could ask, the black pustules on Jiojio's body began to move, and the giant Venus flytrap began to twitch violently.
The black pustules on Jiujiu's body quickly disappeared, and at the same time, a fist-sized purple-black insect emerged from the body of the giant Venus flytrap.
The insect has a pair of sharp forelimbs and a red, upright single eye on its forehead.
It arched its body, transformed itself into a magical form, and transferred it into Krober's mind through the contract between Jiujiu and Krober.
Um? ?
Home delivery??
This taste...is not very good.
Deep Purple lied to me!
Looking at Jiujiu, which had returned to normal, Krober happily touched its head.
"See? I've already dealt with that damned parasite."
Krober wanted to celebrate with Jiujiu, but through the mental contract he sensed that Jiujiu was still in a state of tension, anxiety and fear.
"What's wrong? Chirp?"
Krober quickly comforted Jiujiu and asked about the details.
"And... there's another one of that kind of bug."
"What? Another one?"
Kroeber was shocked.
It was only then that he remembered that if the rift worm only parasitized one elf, Jiujiu, then the dense roots in the soil would not make sense.
And the behavior of the insects feeding the Venus flytrap is more like one of the riftworms helping another of its kind.
Doesn't this mean that the Riftworm has completely devoured an elf?
Damn it!
If the riftworm sensed the death of its own kind, it would surely go into a frenzy.
If it had a little intelligence, it would know that Kroeber, who easily killed its own kind, is not to be trifled with.
