Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Chapter 298 Parasite (Subscription, monthly ticket)
"Perception, to put it simply, is the use of soul power to scan the aura of living creatures within a specific range. Although living creatures can hide their bodies, they cannot conceal their souls. This is the basic principle of perception detection." Jiuyu explained in detail.

"As for the soul strength you mentioned, it is the key to improving the abilities of every person in the perception system. For a contractor of the perception system, soul strength is as important as the basic attribute points of other contractors. All our abilities are enhanced by improving soul strength."

"I see. Then, under normal circumstances, what is the soul strength of a second-level contractor?" After hearing Jiuyu's explanation, Lin Yi finally understood the role of soul strength.

"Second-level contractor? About 1.5 to 2 points. Because contractors who can reach the second level will use a lot of soul crystals when they are at the first level, so the soul strength will also increase a lot with the nourishment of soul crystals."

"But the soul strength of our soul system is different from that of ordinary contractors like you. My current soul strength has reached 8 points, which is considered to be a leader among the second-level contractors."

When talking about his soul strength reaching 8 points, Jiuyu showed a hint of pride on his face, as if to Lin Yi, praise me! Praise me!
Lin Yi asked thoughtfully, "8 o'clock? Isn't it already in double digits?"

Jiuyu almost choked when he heard this.

"Eight points is already very rare!" Jiuyu said unhappily, "Soul strength cannot be directly improved by attribute points. We have to train ourselves through various methods. Those who can reach double digits are basically third-level contractors. Those who can reach double digits at the second level are simply monsters!"

Jiuyu rolled his eyes and felt speechless at Lin Yi's question.

She couldn't help but complain a few words, thinking that Lin Yi seemed to lack sufficient understanding of the difficulty of improving soul strength.

Hearing this, Lin Yi thought about it carefully. He thought about how many Soul Crystals Lin Yi used when he was at the first level. Not to mention the Soul Crystals (small), even the Soul Crystals (medium) were used in piles to upgrade.

As a result, Lin Yi's soul strength is only 3 points, which is enough to prove how difficult it is to improve this thing.

"Everyone be quiet, we've arrived."

Just when Lin Yi and Jiuyu had almost finished their conversation, a cold voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

The group looked down the hillside and found a large number of buildings in front of them.

These buildings are completely different from the style of the Fire Kingdom. The buildings of the Rain Kingdom exude a strong local flavor.

The houses here all have pointed roofs, because it rains all year round in the Rain Country, and flat-roof designs are obviously unable to adapt to such climatic conditions.

The pointed roof design not only allows rainwater to slide down quickly and avoid water accumulation, but also gives the building a unique aesthetic feature.

The houses and streets are closely connected through various passages, forming a maze-like network.

Some of these passages are enclosed, while others are like open corridors, but they are all thoughtfully equipped with handrails.

The design of both buildings and passages incorporates considerations of rain protection, drainage and ventilation, aiming to provide residents with a livable environment in a changing climate.

But unfortunately, after the alien invasion, the appearance of the cities in the Rain Kingdom has changed drastically, and the original unique architectural style has now been destroyed beyond recognition.

In the city, the originally neatly arranged pointed-roof houses are now covered with alien body fluids.

The sticky liquid slowly flowed on the wall, constantly corroding the surface of the building, making the originally brightly colored walls look mottled and old.

The spires of some buildings collapsed due to severe erosion by the alien's body fluids. In the rubble, one can occasionally see the huge body of the alien or the remains of the alien after being parasitized. On the streets, humans parasitized by the alien wandered aimlessly.

Their shapes became distorted, their bodies abnormally swollen, and alien biological tissues grew wildly on their original human bodies, creating a horrifying hybrid creature.

Their eyes are empty and their movements are slow yet unpredictable.

The originally intricate, maze-like passage has now become eerie and terrifying.

The walls were covered with alien body fluids. These sticky liquids glowed darkly under the light, adding a bit of horror to the atmosphere.

Some passages were completely blocked due to the collapse of surrounding buildings, while others became nests of aliens and parasites, who hid in them, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The roars of aliens echoed in the passage from time to time. The sound was sharp and piercing, as if it came from the depths of hell, making people shudder and shudder.

The city seemed to be dead. The air was filled with the unique stench of aliens, mixed with the dust raised by the ruins of the buildings, making it suffocating.

The once prosperous markets and bustling shops have now become dilapidated, with only the roars of aliens and corroded buildings telling of the city’s tragic fate.

[Comparing the intelligence attributes of both parties..., comparison completed, our intelligence is 1.9 times that of the enemy, and we have obtained 100% of the enemy's information. ]

Skill 1: Brain Control (Passive LV.6): The alien parasite lives in the brain of the host, changing the infected person's perception of the outside world.

Skill 2: Claw Attack (Active LV.3): The hands of the parasite are transformed by the alien and grow sharp claws, which can make a quick and fierce claw attack on the enemy, causing 80 points of physical damage and a 20% chance of causing a bleeding effect, causing the enemy to suffer 3 points of damage per second in the next 10 seconds.

Skill 3: Vitality Absorption (Passive LV.4): Each attack has a 10% chance to restore 5% of the host's health.

Skill 4: Emergency Hatching (Passive LV.4): When the parasite is in danger of life, the Alien can speed up the hatching process and separate from the parasite's body.

The appearance of people who have been parasitized by aliens has changed significantly.

Their skin became bumpy and took on a gray, wet texture, as if covered with a thin layer of mucus.

At the same time, the behavior of these parasites becomes extremely strange and unpredictable.

Sometimes they will attack people or objects around them, showing strong hostility and aggressiveness; sometimes they will suddenly disappear from sight like ghosts, making it impossible to find them.

"Be careful. Although these parasites are still alive, they are no longer considered human. In their eyes, aliens are their own kind."

Manniu picked up the shield and asked Lin Yi to turn off the active attack of the halo in the temporary channel.

There are too many parasites in the city at this moment. Once Lin Yi activates the attack aura, it may alert the aliens in the entire city for a while.

It would be troublesome if we were besieged by aliens at that time.
