[Hint: Player Charlene has shared a special realm main storyline mission with you-Body/Spirit?].

Mission title: Body/spirit?

Mission description: In this vast world, there are two special forces. One of them evolves in the direction of physical strength. Through rapid mutation, they reach the theoretically strongest physical form. This race, known as the 'mutant worms', is rapidly wreaking havoc across the galaxy.

Meanwhile, another old empire that had established an interstellar order with psychic weapons was attacking this race, announcing to the world the power of the mind and the order of the world.

Strangely enough, these two races had been extinct for a long time.

Mission description: As a World Lord, you realize that your world has been embroiled in this ancient war. Even though these two races have disappeared for a long time, you have a deep sense of danger. To the spawns and mutant worms, your existence is not worth mentioning.

Mission guide 1: Obtain clues related to the mission line to find the lost spawns.

Option 2: Find a way to obtain the power of the mutant worms.

Fang Heng looked at the game notification and hesitated for a moment.

He didn't make a decision immediately. Instead, he raised his head and asked, "So you followed the mission and came here?"

"The mission line to explore this unknown world is something that our Black Castle found out on our own. It is not part of the main storyline."

"In the process of pursuing the mission, we discovered that the spawns had experienced a tragic war before they disappeared. The cause of the war is unknown, and we don't know who they fought with."

"It's very strange. We've obtained some clues from the long river of history. The spawns completely disappeared after that battle. Since then, the activities of the mutant worms have greatly decreased. There are only a very small number of clues about the activities of the mutant worms, so we think that the battle might be related to the mutant worms."

"Helpless, we continued to investigate the movements of the entire race before the spawns disappeared. We accidentally discovered the secrets of the entire world."

"This is the world of mausoleums left behind by the spawns and the mutant worms at the beginning of the official war. The spawns built a large number of mausoleums here to commemorate the warriors who died in the war. At the same time, it has another function."

Fang Heng asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

"To prevent the virus from spreading."

"There is a passage in the prayer outside the mausoleum. The brave warriors of the spawns killed the evil insects. They paid the price with their lives. Their bodies were also stained with evil blood and were cursed by evil."

Charlene continued to explain, "Being cursed by evil means that some of the spawns were infected by the mutant worms during the battle and then died because of the mutated virus. The spawns realized that even after death, the virus in the corpses was still active, so they chose to seal them in the mausoleum by force."

Fang Heng finally understood.

So that was how it was!

All the questions he had previously had finally been answered.

No wonder he felt that something was wrong when he saw the spatial trap.

The trap was targeted at the corpses of the spawns that had been infected by the mutant worms!

Thinking of everything that happened after entering this world, Fang Heng suddenly understood, "I understand now. So, the Void Stalkers hate me because of the Hila virus in my body!"

Charlene shifted her gaze to Fang Heng and nodded lightly.

"Yes, it's very likely that you've completed the main mission and obtained part of the power of the Hila virus. Your body has part of the genes that can modify mutated worms, so you'll be targeted by the mausoleum guards."

"Me too. My body is fused with Hila's tissue. The same goes for the corpse found in the sarcophagus. There are mutant worm viruses in the corpse. We will all receive the highest treatment from the mausoleum guards."

Fang Heng asked again, "Then what about the metal disc in the corpse? What was that?"

"The metal disc is a special technology developed by the spawns-the Avira chip. The metal contains a chip. We saw it in a document left behind by the spawns. The chip can suppress the mutation of corpses."

At this point, Charlene's eyes couldn't help but reveal a regretful expression.

"In order to find the Avira chip, we came all the way here, hoping to use the power of the chip to suppress the mutation of Hila's organization that had fused with my body. Unfortunately, our team spent a lot of effort to find the entrance to this mausoleum world."

"You should have already guessed what happened after that. A traitor appeared in our Black Castle, and his whereabouts were leaked, so he was trapped in the mausoleum."

"Of course, with our abilities, it won't be a problem for us to leave the mausoleum. However, once we leave, the mausoleum and this hidden world will fall into the hands of the Federation. It'll be almost impossible for us to obtain the Avira chip."

"We had no choice but to stay in the mausoleum and wait for outside support. We'll wait for the outside world to find a special amalgamation that can activate the remains of the spawns and help us obtain the Avira chip."

Fang Heng finally understood what had happened.

After saying that, Charlene could not help but sigh softly.

What a pity.

Just a little bit more.

Charlene quickly adjusted her state of mind and raised her head to continue, "Fang Heng, we still haven't overcome the crisis. There are still a large number of elite teams from the Federation gathered outside. Due to the spatial collapse outside, we can't leave immediately. We can only think of a way to escape after the spatial collapse slowly recovers."

Fang Heng nodded and pondered for a moment before asking, "The Avira chip was stolen by a traitor of your Black Castle. We might not be able to escape and hand it over to the Federation. Can't you think of a way to get it back?"

"It's already too late. Chris has already made ample preparations. With their speed, they've probably already retreated from the inner passage. We're trapped here and can't catch up, and the teams outside can't attack the mausoleum."

Fang Heng felt that it was reasonable and suggested, "Oh right, I've seen corpses in other small mausoleums before. Don't they have Avira chips in their bodies?"

"The production of the Avira chip and the outer metal disc is extremely complicated. The corpse in the sarcophagus in the main mausoleum belongs to an elder of the spawns. He died bravely while killing the queen bug and his body was infected with the queen bug's power. Therefore, the spawns need to place the Avira chip to prevent mutation."

"As for the ordinary corpses, they are still under the control of the spawns, so the probability of them mutating isn't high. There are also some devices in the sarcophagus that prevent them from mutating. These things aren't very useful to me."

Fang Heng scratched his head.

According to the current situation, they had really failed completely.
