Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"Everyone, start checking the time." Lin Yi raised his wrist, the watch on it had the special logo of the Samsara Paradise.

This watch is made by mechanical street workers and its error does not exceed 0.1 seconds every ten years, so it is perfect for timing.

Carmen, Xue Xiong and others also followed Lin Yi's example and adjusted the watches on their wrists to the same time as Lin Yi.

"This is a good thing. When we get back, let the people in the research department develop it."

"Let's wait until you can go back."

After Carmen finished joking with Xue Xiong and the others, she immediately separated from Lin Yi and the others.

Su Xiao, the Sunset Red Team and others' target is the Misty Castle, while Lin Yi and Popgar's target is the Dust and Mud Altar.

After passing through the Gate of Dawn, Lin Yi and Popgal needed to continue moving deeper into the swamp, while Su Xiao and others entered a forest.

When we reached the depths of the swamp, a foul smell hit us in the face.

Lin Yi casually threw a gas mask to Popgar. Although Lin Yi didn't know whether Popgar, as an elemental creature, would be affected by the stench, it always hurts to take precautions in advance.

The Dustwallow Altar is located on the edge of the swamp, surrounded by dense vegetation and tangled vines.

This altar was once an extremely magnificent building, but now only ruins are left.

On the central altar stone platform, one can still vaguely see the mottled bloodstains and fragments of sacrificial utensils, as if silently telling of its past glory and bloody past.

At the entrance to the altar, two huge stone doors are half-open. The original carvings on the doors have now become blurred, and only some mysterious symbols and patterns can be vaguely discerned.

This altar was once the location of the royal altar that ruled the Dark Crow Continent Empire. Unfortunately, after the Dark Crows resurrected, this area became their priority target.

The road leading to the Dust and Mud Altar is in poor condition. Most of the stones have been worn very smooth, and some have even been pulled up and scattered on the roadside.

On both sides of the road, weeds and shrubs grew wildly, almost completely covering the road.

In some places, the roads have been eroded by swampy mud, forming quagmires that are difficult to walk on.

In desperation, Lin Yi had to take out his special trekking pole to prevent himself from accidentally stepping into those unknown bubbles.

In this area, there are no ordinary wild beasts at all. All creatures seen here must be killed because they are all synthetic beasts carefully bred by witches.

These synthetic beasts are far superior to ordinary wild beasts in all abilities, especially in terms of IQ.

Most synthetic beasts were not bred for combat, but simply to serve as watchdogs for witches.

Popgar casually broke the neck of a dog-like synthetic beast that rushed up. This harsh environment finally made Popgar feel like he was in the abyss.

"Stop."

As soon as he finished speaking, Popgar stopped moving forward.

Lin Yi summoned a soldier from the Black Shadow Corps. After the soldier appeared, Lin Yi pointed to an open space in front, which was only about ten meters away from Popgar.

The moment the soldier stepped on it, an invisible wave spread out from under his feet.

Then, the tadpole-shaped secret pattern started from the soldier's ankle, spread upwards, and finally climbed to the soldier's face.

With this soldier as the center, everything within a five-meter radius seemed to be in a state of accelerated time, and began to turn into a grayish-white color with a sense of dilapidation.

In the grayish-white area, the weeds were reduced to ashes. During this period, a bird-like synthetic beast accidentally broke into the area and turned into a tattered skeleton in an instant.

"trap."

Popgar witnessed this scene without showing any surprise on his face.

In the Black Abyss, he had seen many traps that were more hidden than the one before him.

"Take a rest."

After Lin Yi said this, he closed his eyes, and dozens of soldiers from the Black Shadow Corps appeared beside Lin Yi.

Doom had apparently set up many traps near the Dustmash Altar that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Under Lin Yi's command, this group of Black Shadow Corps soldiers spread out and marched forward, beginning to explore the way for the two.

As for those synthetic beasts, the reason why they were thrown into the wild by the witch for warning also shows that their strength is limited.

The combat effectiveness of these synthetic beasts is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary wild beasts. They may be useful against ordinary people, but they are far inferior to the soldiers of the Black Shadow Legion.

Originally, Doom did not reside at Dustwallow Altar.

The swamp environment where the Dustmash Altar is located is too harsh. Even for witches, if they want to live here, they have to spend a lot of energy to transform the surrounding environment.

But after Doom suffered several attacks from witch hunters from the Holy Healing Church, she finally learned her lesson and simply moved her residence here, bringing a large number of witches with her.

These witches were not willing servants of doom; they were completely forced into this position.

Doom is a fifth-stage spell witch. If you want to force these witches, you don’t need to use any tricks. It is enough to know their names.

The synthetic beasts near the Dust and Mud Altar were created by these witches.

Even if Doom spent decades on it alone, she would not be able to create so many synthetic beasts.

Doom's residence is located in a castle above the Dustmash Altar. She spent a lot of effort to set up a large protective magic circle around it.

With the existence of this magic circle, the pungent stench from the swamp outside cannot invade the castle.

Without this technical means, Doom would never choose to live in the Dust and Muck Altar.

"Hmm? Someone triggered my ban? Could it be that another witch escaped?" Sitting on the bed in the room, Doom picked up a grape and began to sense whether the number of witches in the castle had changed.

In this castle, Doom is the supreme mistress. As for other witches, in Doom's eyes, they are just dispensable consumables.

Just like how other witches treat ordinary people, Doom treats the witches here in the same way.

The name of misfortune is just like her life, woven into legends by the people around her with fear and rejection.

Misfortune was born with nothing to do with beauty. Unlike her other two sisters, Misfortune's skin was covered with a lot of small pits, and her long hair was dry and sparse, exactly like the image of an old witch in fairy tales.

"No one escaped. Could it be that someone broke in again?" After carefully sensing, Doom discovered that the number of people in the castle had not decreased.

This situation caused Doom to sit up suddenly in bed.

Although there were small animals that triggered the ban on a daily basis, it was usually only one that was triggered.

But today, in such a short period of time, more than a dozen bans have been triggered in succession, and the distance is from far to near. The target is very clear, it is heading towards the Dust and Mud Altar.

"Damn it, it's probably those bullshit plasters that can't be shaken off again."

Doom looked towards the depths of the swamp. Although she could not see the figures of Lin Yi and others, she could sense that the restrictions she had set up were still being triggered by others.

"Lyswinney."

As Doom called out the name, a witch dressed as a butler slowly walked into Doom's room.

"Lord Doom." As soon as Liswinney entered the room, she immediately knelt on one knee and saluted.

This is the rule in this castle. What Doom hates most is being seen by others, so when other witches see Doom, they must kneel on one knee and lower their heads.

"Enemy have broken in. Take a few witches with you and get rid of those little rats that sneaked in." Doom didn't even look at Liswinney. These witches were all abducted by her from the south.

Liswinney might be considered a majestic fourth-stage black witch in the outside world, but in the eyes of Doom, she is just a rather useful thug.

"Yes, Lord Doom." After hearing Doom's order, Liswinnie's eyes flashed with a cold light.

In this castle, there is no witch who does not hate bad luck.

They were all high-ranking figures in the outside world, but now they are like servants here, ordered around by misfortune. If they do not do what she wants, they will be killed by misfortune.

Under such circumstances, naturally no one would sincerely believe in Doom. It's not that no one has tried to assassinate Doom, but Doom herself is a fifth-stage witch with strong strength, and she has also bound her life to that of her elder sister Moinola. As long as one of them survives, the other will not die.

After Doom was resurrected last time, all the witches who participated in the rebellion were immediately executed.

From then on, the witches in the entire castle no longer dared to have any thoughts of rebellion and could only obediently obey the orders of doom.

"Get out of here now if you know!" Looking at Liswinney's appearance, Doom couldn't help but get angry.

Every time a witch breaks through a stage, it is an improvement in her life level, but Doom has been a fifth-level witch since birth. She has no chance to change her appearance at all, which makes her most angry.

"Yes." Liswinnie did not get angry after hearing what Doom said, but just lowered her head and walked out of the room.

After closing the door, Liswinney breathed a sigh of relief and then walked towards the first floor of the castle.

Arriving at the first floor of the castle, Liswinney walked into a room.

This room is extremely special. Only the fourth-stage witches in the castle are qualified to enter. Anyone else who dares to enter without permission will be thrown into the swamp outside by other fourth-stage witches.

When Liswinney entered the room, the other witches in the room turned their eyes to her.

These witches are all fourth-stage witches who have racked their brains to come here to slack off.

Although all the witches in the castle are prisoners abducted by Doom, there is always a world of martial arts wherever there are people. In addition, Doom will not pay any attention to the internal conflicts among these witches, so these fourth-stage witches have many ways to escape the tasks they should undertake.

"Isn't it your turn to serve that monster today? Why are you running here? Aren't you afraid of being caught?" A witch in purple gauze was holding a pipe in her hand, with a look of disgust on her face.

The old witch Doom's favorite thing is to bully these good-looking fourth-stage witches, which is why they try to hide in this room and not go out on weekdays.

"The opportunity has come." Liswinney whispered after gently closing the door.

"Huh? What's going on?" Upon hearing this, the others stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to Liswinney.

"I just heard news outside the door that someone from the outside world broke into the Dust and Mud Altar again. It is very likely that they are from the Holy Healing Church." Liswinnie told the witches in front of her everything that had just happened.

These witches were able to reach the fourth stage in the outside world, so they were naturally extremely shrewd people. They understood what it meant when someone broke in here.

"This means that the Holy Healing Church is preparing to take action against the two sisters." A naked witch climbed up from the bed, and the quilt on her body slipped off, revealing her graceful figure.

"That's probably the case. The Holy Healing Church has launched several attacks before and has roughly figured out the characteristics of the two sisters. If they dare to come this time, they must be sure to get rid of that monster."

"How about it? Do you want to take a gamble?"

After Liswinnie said this, she turned her gaze towards the witches present.

These witches all lowered their eyes slightly, each of them was pondering Liswenying's words.

"If I join, and continue to stay here, I will die sooner or later. I still have plenty of youth waiting to enjoy, and I don't want to die so early." The witch in purple gauze spoke first. She was the youngest witch here, only 38 years old.

For ordinary people, thirty-eight is considered middle-aged, but for a fourth-stage witch, thirty-eight is still a relatively young age.

"agree."

"I'll join."

When the other fourth-stage witches saw someone express their opinions, they all followed suit.

Staying here will only lead to being tortured by bad luck. It would be better to find a way to get rid of the bad luck first through this opportunity.

"Okay, then get some people over here, and let's go negotiate with the people from the Holy Healing Church." After hearing what Liswinnie said, the other witches nodded, then stood up, put on their clothes, and followed Liswinnie.

No one knows exactly who the witch hunter sent by the Holy Healing Church is this time. If they send an unreasonable madman, it will be troublesome if we cannot negotiate.

When they arrived at the castle gate, several second-stage witches saw Liswinney and other fourth-stage witches coming out, and they quickly knelt on one knee.

"grown ups……"

"Open the door. Lord Doom has ordered me to go out and destroy those little rats that have sneaked in from outside."

"Yes."

Knowing that Liswinnie was following the orders of Doom, the second-stage witches did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately pushed open the castle door.

"I really don't want to go out."

"Okay, stop complaining and just get the job done."

Several witches behind Liswinney were complaining to each other. They did this to allay the concerns of other witches.

After entering the swamp, Liswinnie led the group and immediately hurried in the direction where Lin Yi and the others were heading.

"Someone is coming." Just as Lin Yi was commanding the soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps to eliminate the traps, several strange auras broke into Lin Yi's perception range.

A spear instantly appeared in Popgar's hand, and he stood in front of Lin Yi.

Soon, Liswinnie and several other fourth-stage witches appeared in front of Lin Yi.

"Huh? Why are there only two of us?"

When Liswinnie saw that there were only Lin Yi and Popgar, she couldn't help but be stunned.

However, when she saw the ring representing the Red Hunter on Lin Yi's hand, she immediately threw this doubt out of her mind.

Anyone who can become a Red Hunter is definitely not a simple person.

"Dark witch? Then kill her..."

"Wait a minute! We didn't come here to be your enemy this time."

Seeing a long sword appear in Lin Yi's hand and he was about to attack, Liswinnie quickly raised her hand to indicate that they had no ill intentions in coming here this time.

Lin Yi looked at Liswinney with a puzzled look on his face. The other party did not show any signs of attacking, but Lin Yi did not put down his weapon. He just signaled the other party to stand where he was and explain his intentions clearly.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"You are the person sent by the Holy Healing Church to kill..., right? We want to cooperate with you." Liswinnie said this sentence very quickly. When she mentioned the doom, she paused for a moment and then skipped it, but Lin Yi could still understand what she meant.

"Cooperation? You, a bunch of black witches, come to cooperate with me, a witch hunter?" Lin Yi couldn't help laughing after hearing what Liswinnie said. After hearing this, Popgar couldn't help shaking his head.

Although Popgar is not from the Dark Crow Continent, after spending some time together, he has clearly understood the relationship between the Witch Hunters and the witches. The two sides can be said to be like water and fire. Let alone cooperation, even if they don't fight directly when they meet, it can be regarded as a manifestation of extreme restraint on both sides.

"We can't help it. Although we hate witch hunters, we hate that monster even more." The witch who was wearing purple gauze tore off her clothes and exposed her body to the air without any cover.

Above her right breast, Lin Yi saw an extremely strange mark.

"See? This is the restriction that girl has placed on us. If we have any thoughts of escaping or resisting, she only needs to think of it and we will end up dead without a burial place."

Liswinney also tore off her upper body clothes, and there was an identical restriction on her neck.

Seeing this, the other witches also revealed the restrictions on their bodies.

"understood."

Seeing this situation, Lin Yi understood clearly how bad luck controlled this area.

Doom and Morisha have completely different styles of doing things. Morisha relies on playing with people's hearts and runs Sihanoukville as solid as an iron barrel; while Doom relies on powerful force to rule with high pressure.

"We have no way to resist that guy. Right now, you are our only hope." Liswinnie put on her clothes again. Since Lin Yi was willing to negotiate with them, she didn't mind taking the risk this time.

If Lin Yi really gets rid of the bad luck, it will definitely be a sure win for Liswinney and the others.

After witnessing this scene, Popgar turned his gaze to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then signaled Popgar to remain on guard.

Although the other party's words seem to have no flaws at the moment, no one can tell whether they are deliberately pretending to be pitiful and cheating. (End of this chapter)
