I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 108 - Soul-Eating Parasite


Inside Huang Mao's head, a translucent worm suddenly woke up, opened its mouth, and let out a silent scream. The next moment, Huang Mao's body trembled violently, and a look of pain appeared on his face.“What is this thing!”Qin Tian's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively mobilized his psionic energy to pierce the worm.He didn't expect the worm to be surprisingly fragile; it completely lost its life after being pierced by the psionic energy.At this moment, Huang Mao stopped trembling and went completely limp.Qin Tian slowly placed Huang Mao on the ground, a faint light flashing in his eyes.The reason the worms had caused the town residents and the 137 Camp soldiers to fall into a coma turned out to be a transparent worm.Looking at it this way, the substance in the underground spring water should be worm eggs.But what species is this worm that even Spiritual Energy Users find it hard to detect?Qin Tian opened Huang Mao's smart wristband, searched the comprehensive worm database, and after reviewing it, he finally found the answer.Soul Parasite is a worm that can parasitize in the human brain. When the worm eggs enter the human body, they use the body's nutrients to grow rapidly.At the same time, it releases a special hormone to confuse the human body, causing people to automatically ignore its existence.Soul Parasite is very terrifying. It constantly affects human thoughts and feeds on human spirit, gradually growing. The higher the host's psionic energy, the faster it grows.【Remember the fastest novel site on the entire network, 101kan.com】From Soul Parasite to Soul Worm, Soul Devourer, Brain Worm, and finally the Heaven Soul Master that can easily destroy a planet. In the thousands of years of the Galaxy Empire's history, it has experienced several worm crises. Although they were all safely overcome in the end, the price the Empire paid was unimaginable.And in the battles with the worm race, Soul Parasite is one of the races the Empire fears the most.Due to its special growth, many Spiritual Energy Users will not detect the existence of Soul Parasite, and these Spiritual Energy Users' behavior and thoughts will unknowingly change, gradually becoming puppets of the worm race.Clearly, the person behind this is using all the military and civilians in Mist Town as hosts for Soul Parasite, using these ordinary people and Spiritual Energy Users to cultivate Soul Parasite.Without external interference, these people would not be able to detect the Soul Parasite in their bodies at all.Now, Qin Tian finally understands why everyone fell into a coma when the mist descended.Why there were continuous disappearances in Mist Town, but very little information was seen online.It's not that they couldn't find it, but even if they did, the Soul Parasite would make them ignore the matter.However, juvenile Soul Parasite do not have much independent consciousness. How they affect the host depends on the instructions of higher-level worm races. This means that near Mist Town, there must be a higher-level worm race, possibly a Brain Worm, or an even more terrifying existence.Thinking of this, Qin Tian became even more grateful that he possessed the Myriad Poison Body.When the worm eggs entered his body, the Myriad Poison Body automatically activated and killed all the worm eggs in the water. Otherwise,He would now be like everyone else, carried back to the worm nest by spiders, his life and death uncertain.At this moment, Qin Tian suddenly thought of a question: Zhao Nuo might not have been an accomplice of the person behind this, or rather, he didn't willingly commit suicide, but was controlled by a Soul Parasite.No, if it were a Soul Parasite of this level, it couldn't ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) control the mind of a third-order Spiritual Energy User.The worm in Zhao Nuo's brain must be a high-level Soul Parasite.Should he go and see? Qin Tian hesitated. If he could confirm that there was a Soul Parasite in Zhao Nuo's brain, he could clear his name.However, what he worried about was that the purpose of the investigation team was not to find out the truth, but to detain him and hand him over to Wen Chengxian.Except for Yan Qing, he couldn't trust anyone.Furthermore, Zhao Nuo's body was in the military camp's morgue. If he went to check, he would likely be discovered by the three members of the investigation team.After thinking for a moment, Qin Tian finally decided to go and examine Zhao Nuo's body.Firstly, he could find evidence to clear his name.Secondly, he might also gain a talent related to psionic energy.What he lacked most right now was this type of talent.Of course, even if he went, he had to consider the timing and strategy. Night was approaching. After dark, his mobility and stealth would greatly increase. That would be the best time for him to act.Qin Tian glanced at Huang Mao at his feet, then stepped away.About ten minutes later, Huang Mao opened his eyes. He clutched his head, his eyes filled with confusion and pain.“Why am I here? My head hurts so much. What happened?”After recovering for a while, some memories suddenly flooded into his mind.Huang Mao's body stiffened, and he said in horror:“Ghost town, this is a ghost town. No, I need to leave here quickly! Right now!”He quickly scrambled to his feet, ran frantically to the street, hailed a taxi aircraft, and said in a panic:“Go, to Deep Blue City.”The driver glanced at Huang Mao and said:“300.”“300 is 300, hurry up and go, leave this cursed place.”“Okay!”The driver started the aircraft and quickly ascended.But ten minutes later, the aircraft returned to Mist Town and landed on a desolate slope outside the town.The driver got out of the aircraft dragging a corpse, casually tossed it aside, a faint light flashing in his eyes.Night enveloped the land. Under the pale lights of the morgue, a body lay on a bed, wrapped in a body bag. There was a faint smell of decay in the air.In a dark corner, a figure slowly emerged.Wisps of black gas flowed from his body, blocking the light. Soon, the entire morgue was plunged into darkness.Qin Tian unzipped the body bag. Inside was the deceased Zhao Nuo.He placed his hand on Zhao Nuo's head, his psionic energy probing within.He saw a thumb-sized green worm lying in the brain. When a psionic fluctuation appeared, the worm immediately woke up and released a powerful psionic energy from its body to resist Qin Tian.This is a Soul Devourer. Qin Tian's pupils constricted. A stinging pain came from his mind. In the psionic confrontation with the Soul Devourer, he was actually at a slight disadvantage.Snap. Qin Tian quickly covered Zhao Nuo's mouth, and a rush of poisonous gas poured in.The Soul Devourer had powerful psionic energy, but its physical body was very fragile. Furthermore, it was still a juvenile Soul Devourer and couldn't withstand the erosion of the poisonous gas. It lost its life in less than two seconds.A blue light orb flew into Qin Tian's body.Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief and checked the talent information.【Name】 Soul Devouring (Blue)【Type】 Active Skill 【Introduction】 You can split off a soul seed and reside in a living being's body, making them obey your commands. At the same time, you can also directly devour their soul, obtain memory fragments, and enhance your psionic energy.“Indeed, Zhao Nuo was controlled by the worm.”Qin Tian's eyes narrowed. The worm race hadn't appeared for over a thousand years, and many people had forgotten how terrifying they were.However, a thumb-sized Soul Devourer could make a third-order Spiritual Energy User willingly commit suicide. This situation truly chilled Qin Tian.“Qin Tian, you actually dare to come back.”Just then, a voice full of authority rang out in the military camp.Immediately after, three energy signatures instantly locked onto Qin Tian.
