Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Chapter 657: The Upside-Down Forest

"I did this..." Reg's eyes widened as he looked at the shocking scene in front of him that he had created with his own hands, and he looked at his arm in disbelief.

His eyes were full of astonishment and confusion. It was really hard to imagine that such a powerful attack was actually launched from his own hands.

"As expected of Naraku's treasure, this kind of attack power is truly terrifying."

Lin Yi moved closer to the place where Reg's [Cardinal's Light] attacked and began to check. According to the attack method of Reg's [Cardinal's Light] just now, Su Xiao's Apollo had to give way in front of Reg's [Cardinal's Light].

Apollo is a weapon for large-scale land clearing.

Reg's [Cardinal Light] focused the energy into a small area in front of him through the palm of his hand.

Although the energy erupted by both sides may be the same to some extent, there is no doubt that Reg's [Light of the Cardinal] is definitely more lethal.

Just when Riko excitedly asked Reg how he had accomplished that attack, Reg's vision suddenly became blurry and the sounds in his ears gradually disappeared, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.

The next second, Reg felt dizzy, his body softened and fell directly into Riko's arms.

"Reg?! Reg! Are you okay?" Liko hugged Reg tightly, her face full of panic.

Lin Yi had anticipated this and leaped lightly to Riko's side.

"It's okay. Reg consumed too much energy at once. His body should be in hibernation mode now. We'll be fine once he recovers."

"Sleep mode?" Liko obviously didn't understand what the sleep mode Lin Yi was talking about.

"To put it simply, Reg needs to sleep for a while, and everything will be fine after he wakes up." Lin Yi explained patiently.

Hearing this, Riko nodded and quickly took out a blanket from her backpack.

She gently spread the blanket under Reg's body, hoping that this would make Reg sleep more comfortably.

While sleeping, Reg fell into a terrible nightmare.

He dreamed that Riko had turned into the corpse that had just been devoured by the Weeping Bird, and Reg himself fell to the ground. No matter how he struggled, his body seemed to be bound by invisible shackles and he could not move at all.

Reg watched as Riko was covered in blood. She slowly turned her head and looked at him.

Her eyes were extremely empty, like an endless abyss, and looked extremely terrifying.

That look was not the look of a human at all, and it caused an indescribable fear to surge in Reg's heart.

Then, the ground began to shake violently.

A huge beam of light appeared directly from under Riko's body, swallowing up Riko and the Weeping Bird together.

Seeing this scene, Reg opened his eyes suddenly, his chest heaving violently, and he gasped heavily.

"Having a nightmare? Drink some water to calm down." Lin Yi said as he took out a bottle of mineral water and threw it to Reg.

At this moment, Reg didn't care where Lin Yi took this thing out from. He hurriedly reached out to catch the mineral water bottle, unscrewed the cap and gulped the water down.

The cool water flowed down his throat, and only after he finished drinking half a bottle of water did Reg finally feel his panicked heart gradually calm down, and his panic was suppressed.

"I just"

Reg looked at his palms and felt that the scene just now was like a dream.

"It's time to go. Don't be so reckless in the future. Remember, anything can happen in the abyss. If you don't know what to do, you can ask Liko for advice." After hearing Lin Yi's words, Reg replied in a low voice, "I know."

All I can say is that the Abyss is still the Abyss after all.

After arriving at the second floor, Abyss took the lead in giving Riko and Reg a warning.

Now both of them have put away their arrogance and displayed the qualities that a cave explorer should have.

Lin Yi didn't need to say much along the way, Reg took the initiative to take on the responsibility of gathering intelligence for the three people.

Riko used her rich experience to identify the surrounding landmarks and ensure that the three of them were heading in the right direction.

Thanks to the efforts of the two, Lin Yi was the one with the most free time for a while.

Continuing down the rock wall, the three finally successfully reached the bottom of the second layer of the abyss, the [Inverted Forest].

Here, everything is turned upside down, presenting a wonderful landscape beyond imagination.

The trees here are extremely unique. Their trunks all grow downwards, like inverted giants, stretching their bodies tenaciously.

Their roots are firmly rooted in the soil above.

In mid-air, Lin Yi even saw the waterfall flying into the sky. The water flowed like a silver ribbon, dancing in the wind, forming a shocking picture.

As for the cause of this situation, it was all due to the strong wind blowing out from the third layer of the abyss [Great Broken Realm].

The wind was extremely strong, sweeping in with a roar, blowing the waterfall and causing the water to flow upstream, thus creating this spectacular sight.

"Is this the [Inverted Forest]?"

Rico hid behind Reg and Lin Yi, holding on to her clothes tightly.

The wind here was so strong that Riko was already feeling a little cold.

Even though the cave exploration suit that Riko was wearing had the function of keeping warm, it was just an ordinary piece of clothing after all, and was incomparable to the nano-level disaster protection suit (Type X) that Lin Yi was wearing.

"Put on this thick cloak."

Lin Yi took out two thick plush cloaks from his personal space. After Riko and Reg put on the cloaks, they immediately felt much warmer.

Reg came to a tree and prepared to move towards the forward base as usual.

What Reg didn't expect was that the airflow was so strong.

As soon as Reg's arm was launched, the grappling hook was ruthlessly blown away in mid-air by the airflow from the Great Fault, and it was impossible to grab the tree trunk in the distance and pass through smoothly.

"Okay, just follow the normal path here. Otherwise, if you fall, it will be no joke."

Lin Yi pointed downwards, and when Reg and Liko came here, they immediately felt a strong gust of wind blowing towards them from below.

The violent wind roared like an angry dragon, as if it was going to drag everything into an endless abyss.

Riko tried hard to open her eyes and finally noticed that below them was the entrance to the third layer of the abyss.

If you fall from here, you will definitely end up with no body left.

So the three of them left the Upside-Down Forest and started from the outside of the Upside-Down Forest towards the surveillance base.

As they walked, Rico's body began to shake, and Reg discovered that Rico's legs and feet had swelled up without him noticing.

Reg calculated and found that if he started calculating from the road they had just left, Riko's altitude would have exceeded 10 meters.

But Liko had been trying hard not to say anything, so neither Reg nor Lin Yi noticed.

"what happened?"

"Brother Lin, Liko has triggered the ascending curse again." Reg said anxiously.

After hearing this, Lin Yi hurried to Riko's side and saw that her calf was swollen like a pig's trotter.

He gently pulled open her trouser legs and saw that Li's ankles had turned purple. The shocking color was heartbreaking.

"I'm sorry, I thought I could hold on." Riko's eyes were a little blurry, and now she saw double.

"It's okay, close your eyes." Lin Yi said gently, placing his palm on Riko's forehead.

Riko closed her eyes obediently. As the light of the purification technique came on, Riko felt her chaotic brain suddenly become much clearer.

At this moment, Riko felt a sharp pain in her leg.

Because her mind was too confused before, Riko also had abnormal perception of pain.

Now that her brain had returned to normal, severe pain immediately began to spread throughout Riko's body.

When Lin Yi saw Riko's grinning face, he knew that she had returned to normal, and then used healing magic to dispel the pain in Riko's body.

[Successfully treated Riko, talent 'Redeemer activated', permanently increased 30 health points, 15 Abyssal Power, soul strength increased by 1, current health points 11622 points, Abyssal Power 10680 points, soul strength 62 points. ]

"Oh? It doesn't hurt anymore." Riko suddenly felt that her calf had returned to normal. When Riko looked again, the calf that was swollen like a pig's trotter had now returned to normal.

"Remember to tell me immediately if there is any problem next time, okay?"

Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Rico was fine. They were only on the second floor, and it was still a long way from the sixth floor of the abyss. Lin Yi didn't want anything to happen to Rico right now.

"Okay, I understand." Li Ke nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled look and asked, "But, Brother Lin, are you really not affected by the rising load? Reg is a robot, so it makes sense that he would not be affected, but Brother Lin, why are you not affected either?"

Hearing Li Ke's question, Reg immediately looked at Lin Yi with curiosity. Reg had been wanting to ask this question just now. After all, along the way, Lin Yi showed no signs of being affected by the abyss force field.

Because of this, Reg mistakenly thought that there was nothing wrong with Riko either.

"My situation is indeed a bit special." Lin Yi said after thinking for a while, "You can regard me as a native creature of the Abyss Abyss. The abyss force field here does not have much effect on me."

"Okay, we'll be at the surveillance base soon, let's go."

"Yeah." Liko didn't ask any more questions. After hearing Lin Yi's words, she trotted behind Lin Yi, carefully grabbing the corner of Lin Yi's clothes and moving forward.

Reg looked at Lin Yi curiously again, and his intuition told him that Lin Yi was definitely not a creature from the Abyss.

The second level of the abyss, the [Inverted Forest] surveillance base.

Maluluku was sitting in front of a huge telescope, monitoring the environment around the base.

Although Orson's surveillance base is located on the edge of the Upside-Down Forest, it does not mean that this edge area is absolutely safe.

Many abyss creatures that cannot survive in the central area will come here to seek opportunities for survival.

Maluluku's task is to sit here and monitor the surrounding situation at all times to prevent any abyss creatures from approaching and threatening the surveillance base.

At the same time, once he finds a cave explorer approaching, he must open the elevator for the other party in time.

"Master, three strangers are here."

After Maluluku saw Lin Yi, Riko and the other two through the telescope, a strange look appeared on his face.

In the Abyss, Maluluku had never seen a child of his own age.

"stranger."

After hearing this, Orson raised his eyelids and sat up from his seat, walked to the telescope and looked in the direction of Lin Yi.

As if sensing someone was staring at him, Lin Yi reflexively raised his head and looked in the direction of the telescope.

At this moment, Orson and Lin Yi looked at each other through the lenses of the telescope.

After seeing Lin Yi's eyes, Orson immediately understood that the other party had noticed that he was monitoring them.

Especially Rico who was following behind Lin Yi. Orson recognized her identity the moment he saw Rico.

Even if Orson turned into ashes, he would still be able to recognize Riko's iconic blonde hair and crystal glasses.

"Master, where are you going?"

When Maluluku saw Orson leave the surveillance room directly, he asked with some confusion.

But Orson did not answer Maluluku's question. Now the aura on Orson was very strange.

It was a bit violent, a bit nostalgic, and a bit regretful. It was the first time that Maluluku saw Orson show such complicated emotions.

"Someone was watching us just now."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the surveillance base.

"Is it an enemy?" Reg instantly showed a vigilant attitude. He did not sense the gaze that Lin Yi was talking about, but he firmly believed that Lin Yi would not joke about such a thing.

"I'm not sure. I didn't sense any hostility from them. Maybe the people monitoring the base noticed our arrival, but it's best not to be careless."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Liko and Reg nodded.

Riko was very clear about her position. She did not have strong fighting ability, so she walked obediently to the middle of the team.

Once Rico is attacked, anyone can rescue her in time to ensure her safety.

The surveillance base was located above Lin Yi's head, and the three of them moved forward along the created road.

I don’t know if Orson has any bad taste, but the road he made has no guardrails, and you can see the clouds passing by through your hand.

If someone with acrophobia saw this, they would probably be so scared that they would collapse to the ground.

"Hmm." After climbing for a while, Riko suddenly felt something strange in her body.

She found herself experiencing the symptoms of the increased load again, but the reaction here was much milder than it had been elsewhere.

Liko just felt a little dizzy and her calves were a little swollen.

She bit her lip, endured the discomfort in her body, and continued to follow Lin Yi and Reg closely.

"The surveillance base is located on the edge of the second floor. The abyss force field here is much smaller than that in the center. If you can't hold on, just tell us." Lin Yi glanced at Riko, but did not help Riko dispel the negative state.

In his opinion, bearing more rising loads could help Liko adapt to this state faster.

However, this can only be done in the shallow layer. Once it reaches below the fifth floor, the rising load will be beyond Li's ability to withstand.

"Okay, I understand." Liko responded softly. She held Reg's shoulders with a hint of pain on her face.

She now felt her legs gradually losing feeling, which was a very typical characteristic of the second level of ascending load - paralysis of the limbs.

The three of them walked step by step with difficulty to the door of the surveillance base. Lin Yi took a look at the surveillance base and found that the area where the surveillance base was located was extremely large. Almost all the trees in the small area around it were linked together by Orson.

The thick branches are intertwined with each other, forming a small activity area.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

After Riko stood still, she shouted towards the surveillance base. If Riko remembered correctly, there should be someone guarding the surveillance base.

Normally, as long as someone approaches, the people in the surveillance base will lower the elevator cage above their heads.

However, Lin Yi and the other two had been standing here for nearly two minutes, but there was still no response from the surveillance base above.

"Reg, can you reach over there?"

Riko pointed to the elevator above her head opposite. Reg estimated it and found that the height was about 20 meters, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

So Reg aimed his arm at the elevator and fired it out. He was going to go over and lower the elevator for the two of them.

"Ugh?"

Just as Reg's arm appeared on the elevator, he suddenly felt someone grabbing his arm.

"what happened?"

"Someone... grabbed my arm." There was a hint of nervousness in Reg's voice.

He tried to pull again, but found that he couldn't move his arm at all.

"I see. Did you come here thanks to this little brat?"

Above the surveillance base, Orson was holding Reg's arms tightly, staring down at the three people below.

Reg's arm is now struggling in Orson's hand, but compared with Orson's amazing strength, Reg's strength is really not enough.

Then, Orson threw Reg's arm out and pulled down the mechanism on the side.

The next second, the elevator cage began to creak, and ten seconds later, the elevator appeared in front of the three people.

"Let's go."

Lin Yi felt Orson's gaze and stepped into the elevator cage.

When Liko and Reg saw this, they followed Lin Yi into the elevator.

After entering the elevator, Lin Yi pressed the up button in the middle of the cage.

The birdcage-shaped elevator slowly ascended with Lin Yi and the other two. Although the elevator's ascent speed was not very fast, the ascent height was still more than ten meters.

As the elevator rose, Riko's body's reaction suddenly became greater.

Her face turned pale and she hurried to the birdcage, holding on to the railings tightly, and then began to vomit violently.

Lin Yi now has some understanding of why the elevator is set up like this.

Apparently, this is to facilitate vomiting among cave explorers who are experiencing an increased load.

"Riko."

"It's okay, I'll just take a break."

Riko wiped the dirt from the corners of her mouth. After several ascents, she gradually adapted to the ascent load on the second floor. At least it was much stronger than at the beginning. (End of this chapter)
