Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Having said hello to the Feather Clan, the old demon will definitely not stand idly by.

In the current complex situation, all forces are interconnected.

"Lord Walpole, Chief Judge Orm invites you." The speaker was a burly, broad-shouldered demon. He was the real owner of this grocery store. At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, his expression full of respect.

"Ohm? He has the nerve to ask me?"

The goat-headed old devil, also known as Walpole, snorted coldly.

"Lord Walpole, please don't make things difficult for a small character like me. I'm just following your orders." Beads of sweat appeared on the demon boss's forehead, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

"Well, go down. I also climbed up step by step from the bottom. You go and tell Om that I remember the loss of the 'big fat piece of meat' in the Void Arena and the matter of the soul vines."

Walpole's words really shocked the middle-aged demon. Walpole was sent to the city of Vanluo as a special envoy. Of course, he had the authority to govern the Demon Inquisition in the 'Mammon Mod Fortress'.

Not long ago, the "big fat sheep" Alice was lost there. The demons were about to take advantage of this huge benefit, but they messed it up. As the chief judge, Om cannot escape the blame.

Walpole stretched out his palm, and a formation made of magma emerged on the ground, and the spatial fluctuations became more and more intense.

In an instant, a young female demon appeared here.

She had a pair of goat horns on her head. The demon girl's skin was slightly darker, revealing a healthy wheat color. She only wore an armor-like bra on her upper body, with most of her tight skin exposed.

There were green patterns winding across her arms and lower abdomen.

It has goat horns, green eyes, goat hooves, and although its figure is not particularly plump, it is well-proportioned.

From the slightly bulging abdominal muscles, it can be seen that this female demon does not care too much about her appearance. Instead of carefully sculpting her own appearance, she is more obsessed with honing her own fighting ability.

But it is precisely because of this that she gives people a sense of wild beauty.

"Lilith, go to the Black Abyss and let the Destroyer know the sincerity of the demons."

"Of course, if you encounter those guys from the Feather Tribe, it's best to snatch the doctor back. The birdmen from the Feather Tribe are the best at bewitching people, so don't be careless and fall into their trap."

When Walpole thought of the Feather Clan, a trace of disgust and fear flashed in his eyes.

He knew the methods of the Feather Clan too well. Back then, the Feather Clan relied on one marriage after another to weave a huge and complex network of relationships, and easily won over most of the races in the void to their side.

They are now more adept at using this method, so we must be on guard against it.

"Yes, my lord."

The young female demon Lilith didn't say much politely and turned to walk out of the grocery store.

The reason why she respectfully addressed Walpole as "Sir" was simply because the atmosphere when she was out was completely different from that at home. Being here, she had to give this elder "official" respect out of the rules.

With a click, Walpole placed a devil chess piece on the table. Now, there were already hundreds of devil chess pieces on the wooden table.

An hour later, a train was speeding towards the Black Abyss.

In the third carriage, Bubu Wang was lying quietly in the corner, looking around vigilantly with his eyes. The female demon Lilith was in the seventh carriage.

On a high-tech civilization continent far away from the Broken Continent, a woman in a red robe and with a pale face was moving among the crowd.

She was originally wearing a grey robe, but the escape had dyed the grey robe blood red. This woman was Sha, and she was heading towards the shallow layer of the abyss at the fastest speed.

At the same time, a bald woman in a long robe in the middle layer of the Black Abyss was walking barefoot towards the shallow layer of the Black Abyss.

She had already sensed the signal from the beacon in Lin Yi's hand, but the signal was flickering and the corresponding beacon position could not stabilize.

She is the seventh-level guardian that Lin Yi hired for two hundred soul coins. She is a seventh-level spellcaster, but has nothing to do with the Arcane Eternal Star.

The spellcaster system in the void is very large, and the spellcasters of Arcane Eternal only account for a small part of it.

The vast majority of spellcasters are rooted in unique inheritance systems. These inheritances may be secret and obscure, or niche and unpopular, but each shines with a different kind of brilliance.

The guardian hired by Lin Yi was named Mei. The profession she inherited was very good at the power of space.

However, as a price to pay, in the early stages of studying this power, Mei's body inevitably suffered the backlash and erosion of the force of space. Those invisible wounds, like fine and stubborn scars, caused irreversible damage to her body.

"The space in this area is relatively stable, so let's go there quickly." Mei raised his head to take a look at the area in front of him, and with a flash of his body, he passed directly through the area.

In the Abyss, space travel is not a good idea.

The interior of the Black Abyss is like a maze full of hidden dangers, with spatial faults hidden everywhere.

At the beginning, many mages were traveling through space in the Black Abyss, and then they crashed into the space fault and died on the spot.

Later, more and more people died, and gradually, no one dared to travel through space in the Black Abyss casually.

The reason why Mei dared to do this was because she had lived in the Black Abyss for a long time.

Living in this strange place for many years has made her as familiar with the spatial fluctuations around her as her own heartbeat. With just a little perception, Mei can accurately determine whether there are any hidden spatial faults nearby.

On the other side, Su Xiao struggled to crawl out of the black dragon's body.

This point in time is exactly the time when the black dragons come out to hunt for food. Lin Yi is not the only one who encounters a black dragon. Most of the people who stepped into the Black Abyss with Lin Yi ran into these ferocious guys almost at the same time.

Many people had just stepped into this dark abyss, before they even had time to see the surrounding environment clearly, they were swallowed up by the savage black dragon and became food.

Such cruel and bloody scenes are the daily routine of Heiyuan.

Here, danger is everywhere. Survival has become a luxury and difficult thing. Every day is a wrestling match with death. If you are not careful, you will be completely swallowed by death.

“What are these trucks for?”

On the other side, under the leadership of Ste Tull, the three gradually left the sand dunes and entered a Gobi Desert.

Not far from them, dozens of trucks were lined up in a row, like a long steel snake, whizzing past the three people.

The roar of the engine made people's eardrums hurt, and the raised dust covered the sky.

"These people are scavengers from the Black Abyss. Don't pay any attention to them. If you see them dare to approach within three meters, don't hesitate, just kill them." Ste Tull's voice came slowly from the front.

These scavengers are like hyenas in the abyss.

If we only talk about individual combat power, they are definitely at the bottom of this dark abyss.

Any scavenger picked up at random might not be able to deal with even the weakest Black Abyss creature, and it doesn't seem to have much deterrent power.

But there are tens of millions of these guys in the Black Abyss, and they live in groups. Every time they go out, the scene is like a black tide, which can cover a large area tightly in an instant.

In a way, scavengers are similar to garbage collectors in the Abyss.

In this place full of dangers and unknowns, nothing can escape their eyes, and they will pick up any object that has some use value.

Before, when Sturt killed the black dragon, these scavengers with a keen sense of smell immediately surrounded him like sharks smelling blood.

"Boss, why don't we give these guys a try?" In the bumpy convoy of scavengers, a man with skin as white as paper and a bald head looked at the leader of the convoy sitting next to him, with a tentative look in his eyes.

"Go? Go and die?"

“Do you know that there are several taboos in the Black Abyss that you absolutely cannot violate! If there are old people, children, or disabled people in the team, don’t provoke them. They are tough guys who you can’t afford to mess with! Look at the team that just passed by. How do they look easy to deal with? If you don’t want to live long, just go and die by yourself. Don’t drag everyone into the fire pit together!” As he said that, the leader of the caravan suddenly raised his hand and slapped the man hard. The crisp sound of "pa" was particularly harsh in the noisy carriage.

The man's head tilted after being hit. He covered his face and dared not say a word.

In this dark purgatory-like place, living conditions are extremely harsh. Even people with strong physiques have to try their best to survive, not to mention the elderly, the weak and the disabled with poor physical fitness.

If this kind of group can still live safely and comfortably in the abyss, then in all likelihood, there is a powerful force hidden behind them that is unknown to the public, and the so-called "weakness" is nothing more than an appearance to confuse others.

Anyone who is blind and rashly approaches to provoke it will definitely be eaten until not even a bone is left.

Even though scavengers are at the bottom of the abyss, they are able to struggle to survive in such desperate situations. Naturally, they have a set of life-saving experiences that are unique to them.

About an hour later, they came to a canyon. The entrance to the canyon was blocked by a pile of old trucks, completely blocking the way forward.

"Toll and three days' food rations for one person." A voice came from not far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man slowly walking out from behind an abandoned truck.

He was wearing a tattered power armor, the outer shell of which had peeled off in many places, revealing the badly worn circuits inside.

"Kill or not?"

"kill."

The moment Ste Tur's voice fell, Lin Yi's sword was already unsheathed.

A streak of black sword energy pierced through the man's power armor and his heart, sending him to death on the spot.

"Good control." Although Ste Tur couldn't see, his other senses were much sharper than those of ordinary people. He could feel the injuries on the man's body.

Most people who draw their swords and attack are either too aggressive or miss the target. It is extremely rare to find someone as accurate as Lin Yi.

"Damn it, we've met a tough guy, brothers, come on together."

After Lin Yi took action, a man who looked like a leader hiding behind an abandoned truck started yelling at the top of his voice.

In an instant, a group of thieves swarmed out from the back of the truck, holding all kinds of simple but deadly weapons, with greed and ferocity in their eyes, shouting and surrounding Lin Yi and his group.

The reason why Ste Tull asked Lin Yi to take action was because the other party was using this method to judge the situation of Lin Yi's team.

Once Lin Yi chose to pay the toll, in the eyes of these thieves who were accustomed to bullying the weak, Lin Yi's team would undoubtedly be weak and vulnerable.

Even if we let them go now, they will definitely linger around and bite us hard when the opportunity arises, and the situation will eventually turn into the current tense one.

In this case, it would be better to strike first and kill them by surprise.

In the Abyss, the rules of survival are simple and cruel. There are no established rules here. Everything follows the law of the jungle. Whoever has the strongest fist and the most powerful strength will have the right to speak and will survive.

Hundreds of shadow crows gathered in the sky at some point, as if they had been summoned by the bloody scent. They kept circling and making noises above everyone's heads, as if they were waiting for an opportunity to feast on them.

Hetty and Roland took out two small pistols. These pistols were special weapons developed by the Feather Tribe. They had little recoil but great lethality.

However, the manufacturing process of this gun is too complicated and the materials are rare and hard to find, so it cannot be mass-produced. Therefore, most of the time, it is used as an exclusive sidearm for the nobles of the Feather Clan to demonstrate their identity and status.

At the beginning, a few thieves with evil intentions targeted Hetty and Roland, thinking that they were small in stature and would be the best to be captured as hostages to threaten Ste Tull and Lin Yi.

But just as they made a move, the guns in Hetty and Roland's hands fired. The dense firepower intertwined into a web of death, which made the thieves unable to raise their heads. No one could get close to them at all.

As for Lin Yi and Ste Tull, they had already let go and killed hundreds of thieves in just a dozen seconds.

When the leader of the thieves saw the bodies at the feet of the two men, his heart sank and he gave the signal to retreat without saying a word.

The remaining thieves heard the order and hurriedly took out smoke bombs and threw them around.

In an instant, thick smoke billowed up, a pungent smell spread, and the vision was instantly completely obscured.

Under the cover of the thick smoke, the thieves panicked and fled in all directions, just wanting to get away from this deadly place as soon as possible.

After about dozens of seconds, there was no trace of the thieves around, only corpses scattered on the ground.

"These guys are just a group of hungry wild dogs. As long as we scare them, they won't dare to chase us." Ste Tull wiped the blade clean with a smile, and then put it into the life box behind him for preservation.

When he arrived in front of the truck blocking the road, a cold light flashed, accompanied by the sharp sound of metal tearing, and the old truck in front of him was neatly split into two.

As soon as Roland and Hetty took a look into the carriage, their faces turned pale and their stomachs churned. They quickly hid aside and bent over to vomit.

There were dozens of strips of meat hanging in the carriage. Some were dark in color and gave off a foul odor of impending decay, while others still had a fresh color, obviously having been made not long ago.

There were a few tattered clothes thrown in the corner of the carriage. Seeing this scene, anyone could imagine what "raw materials" these meat strips were made of.

"Let's go. Those scavengers have very sharp noses. They will soon smell the scent and come here. Then we'll just let them fight each other." Ste Tull seemed to be accustomed to all this. He took out a tinder from his pocket, blew it gently, and the flame leaped up. He then threw it into the truck.

The fire spread rapidly with the help of the wind, and the raging flames engulfed the entire truck.

After searching this area, Lin Yi actually found a truck that looked like it could still be driven.

With this ready-made means of transportation, Lin Yi naturally did not plan to travel on foot anymore.

After asking the other three to get in the car, Lin Yi got into the driver's seat and began to carefully study the various buttons on the car.

After about ten minutes, the truck finally drove out of the canyon and headed towards Redeemer Heights.

Lin Yi in the cab was looking at the smart navigation on the right side of the driver's seat. This thing was very modern, with a blue and white screen. Although it was backward, it could guide the direction and was very resistant to falling.

The Black Abyss is not occupied by wild beasts. Some locations are gathering points for various races. Some large races even set up supply points exclusively for their own people to increase their survival rate here.

There are sixteen arrows on the old laptop, and the arrows are of different sizes.

In Heiyuan, most gathering points will build suspended magnetic stations, which use special magnetic field principles to achieve precise positioning functions, making it easier for travelers to find them.

The larger the arrow on the screen, the stronger the power of the corresponding magnetic suspension station, and the scale of the gathering point there will naturally be larger.

Starting the truck, Lin Yi rushed in the direction indicated by the largest arrow. The truck did not have much fuel, so it had to be refilled before it could continue to move forward in this hellhole of Black Abyss.

Twenty minutes later, a group of buildings with an air of decay gradually came into Lin Yi's sight.

The reason for saying this is that the architecture of this city is too strange. The outside is full of tents, and the inside is a dilapidated concrete building frame. It looks like it has obviously been bombed by high-powered thermal weapons.

After hearing the sound of the truck, several ragged civilians with rifles hid behind the wall and began to observe Lin Yi and his group.

In Heiyuan, attacking a gathering place is a very common behavior, so after Lin Yi did not express his purpose clearly, the other party did not dare to let Lin Yi get close.

Lin Yi parked the truck a few hundred meters away from the gathering place and got out of the car.

His action made the people in the opposite gathering place relax their vigilance a little.

Not long after, the gathering place also took action and sent a representative to communicate with Lin Yi.

"What are you doing here?"

A neatly dressed woman walked up to Lin Yi with a rifle and stopped about ten meters away from him.

She looked up and down at Lin Yi's clothes and realized that Lin Yi was definitely not a native of Heiyuan.

Lin Yi's clean clothes were too eye-catching. In the Black Abyss full of dirt and ruins, the one who could wear such refreshing clothes must be either a strong man who was doing well here and did not need to worry about his clothes getting damaged or dirty, or he was a newcomer who had just stepped into this dangerous place.

"Is there any fuel?"

Lin Yi said this and patted the truck beside him, indicating that the truck was running out of gas.

"Yes, one kilogram of fuel requires ten kilograms of clean water or thirty kilograms of clean food." After hearing Lin Yi's words, the woman quoted a price.

Hearing the other party's price, Lin Yi frowned.

"It's too high. If you're not sincere, I'll go buy it at other gathering places." After saying this, Lin Yi opened the car door and prepared to go to the store.

"Don't! I was wrong just now. One kilogram of fuel only needs one kilogram of clean water or three kilograms of clean food."

Seeing that Lin Yi was really about to drive away, the woman suddenly panicked.

She did have the intention of extorting money from him, and seeing that Lin Yi was dressed like a newcomer, she was sure that he did not understand the current prices in Heiyuan, which was why he quoted such an outrageously high price.

But Lin Yi's quick reaction of turning around and leaving made her realize that the man in front of her was very familiar with the market conditions of Heiyuan. If he insisted on the original price, this deal would be completely ruined.

"You should have said this earlier. I want ten kilograms of fuel, payable on delivery." Lin Yi said, and then slowly moved back from the truck.

"How did you know?" Hetty at the back looked at Lin Yi in confusion. Everyone was new to the Black Abyss, and except for Stur, everyone else knew almost nothing about this place. She couldn't understand how Lin Yi could be so sure that the other party would ask for a high price.

"Because that's the nature of the people in Heiyuan. The moment they saw what I was wearing, they knew I was from outside. If I were outside, they might still trade with me at the normal market price, but this is Heiyuan."

Lin Yi was not clear about Heiyuan's price, but he was clear about Heiyuan's human nature.

Ninety percent of the people who can survive in this hellhole have already abandoned a part of their inner selves and become no different from wild beasts, thinking only of surviving by any means necessary.

The small group that remains, even if they still retain some humanity, have long lost most of their conscience.

The other party only chose to cheat Lin Yi of ten times the price. Compared with those ruthless guys in Heiyuan, he was considered to be more conscientious.
About ten minutes later, the woman appeared in front of Lin Yi, carrying a large bucket of fuel with difficulty.

The barrel was a bit old and had patches of rust, but fortunately the fuel inside looked clean.

Seeing this, Lin Yi took out five kilograms of fresh water and fifteen kilograms of dried meat. In a place like this, he tried not to show off his wealth too much.

These pieces of jerky meat are hard and have a rough texture. Lin Yi would not even look at them twice normally, but in the resource-scarce Heiyuan, they are definitely a rare delicacy.

“It’s actually beef jerky.” The woman’s eyes lit up when she saw the food that Lin Yi traded.

After the transaction was completed, the woman learned that Lin Yi was going to Redeemer Heights, and she kindly told Lin Yi that there was a bandit hideout at a gathering point about a hundred kilometers away, and asked Lin Yi to avoid it.

After saying this, the woman returned to the gathering point with water and food. After seeing the food in the woman's hands, the crowd spoke a lot louder.

During this period, the food reserves in the gathering place had run out, and each person could barely afford one meal a week. The supplies brought by Lin Yi were undoubtedly a timely help, and immediately solved the urgent problem.

"Boss, the other party..." One of his men came forward, with a look of covetousness towards Lin Yi and his group still in his eyes.

"Don't even think about it. I recognize that car. It's the car of the Venomous Scorpion Carl." The woman interrupted him directly, took out a piece of beef jerky from the pile, and chewed it slowly in her mouth. "This car has become their car. You should know what happened to Carl."

When the woman was testing him just now, she realized that Lin Yi and his group were not easy to mess with. Otherwise, according to the survival rules of Heiyuan, she would not mind playing the role of a bandit and robbing Lin Yi and his group. (End of this chapter)
