Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"Let me ask you, have you discovered a large army of pollutants in the Yinlin Mountains?"

"Yes."

After Lin Yi admitted it, the woman's originally calm expression turned extremely ugly.

"how much?"

"Too many to count. We were discovered by the army of contaminated entities just after we arrived. I was the only one in the entire team who escaped."

Lin Yi did not lie in this statement, his background story was indeed like this.

The cardinal's face was very gloomy. At this moment, she actually hoped that Lin Yi was lying. If what Lin Yi said was true, then the entire territory would face huge trouble again.

"Come with me. We must open the Sky Temple for this matter." The cardinal glanced at Lin Yi and motioned for Lin Yi to follow.

"My name is Steele Daphne, you can just call me Daphne. Judging from your appearance, you must be from the Sparrow Tribe, right?" Daphne led the way in front and turned her head to glance at Lin Yi.

As time goes by, the four major races on the Red Sky Continent have now evolved into the Winged People, who are quite similar in appearance to the Feathered People in the Void.

Among them, the three-winged tribe is characterized by three pairs of wings on its back, which look like a gorgeous painting when spread out.

The hair of the Chi Ming people is a dazzling fiery red color, which is highly recognizable.

The Honghu people have very large chins, a feature that makes them stand out in the crowd.

The sparrow tribe, because it has always been in a relatively weak position in the evolutionary process, has not formed obvious characteristics like the other three tribes.

Their evolved form is not much different from that of ordinary humans.

However, the sparrow tribe still has a more hidden characteristic, which is that they have two degenerate wings on their backs.

However, the wings of most sparrows have been severely degenerated and are so small that they are almost impossible to detect without careful observation.

After observing Lin Yi, Daphne found that he did not have the characteristics of the Three-Winged Clan, the Red Bright Clan, and the Honghu Clan, so she naturally concluded that Lin Yi was a member of the Sparrow Clan.

"Yeah." Lin Yi just responded softly and did not refute Daphne's judgment.

In this situation, it is easier to make mistakes if you say too much. It is safer to just follow what the other person is saying.

"What kind of situation did you see with the polluters outside during this trip?"

"There are quite a few of them. In addition to the large number of polluted bodies that appeared in the Yinlin Mountains, I also encountered a small group of polluted bodies when I was fleeing back and passing through the Black River Forest. If the current situation continues to develop, the Wall of Living Beings will be discovered by those polluted bodies sooner or later."

After hearing what happened to Lin Yi, Daphne's mood plummeted.

As a high-ranking official of the Phoenix Temple, she naturally understood the importance of the Wall of Living Beings.

You know, the Kurokawa Forest has always been a key cleanup area in the territory. The territory attaches great importance to this area and basically sends hundreds of cleaning teams every day to go deep into the Kurokawa Forest to clean up those polluters.

With such high frequency and large-scale cleanup operations, polluters of this scale still appear. This can only mean one thing - the number of pollutants in other places is already beyond imagination.

It is precisely because of this that the pollutants that escaped from other places would unconsciously advance towards the Kurokawa Forest.

Under Daphne's guidance, Lin Yi came to a building that looked like a castle.

Two wings made of flames grew from Daphne's back and she flew towards the room at the top of the castle, at such a fast speed that she looked like a flaming meteor.

This made Lin Yi really helpless. Fortunately, the outer wall of the castle was not flat and smooth, but was covered with potholes and bumps, like a track designed specifically for rock climbing.

Lin Yi took a running start and accurately grabbed the protruding stone on the edge of the city wall.

With his agility, Lin Yi dodged a few times and followed Daphne, finally successfully entering the room.

When Daphne landed, she noticed that Lin Yi did not fly up, but climbed up along the wall.

"I'm really sorry. I was careless for a moment and forgot that the flying ability of most of you sparrows has deteriorated. I should have taken you through another passage just now." Daphne said with an apologetic look on her face and a little self-blame.

"It's okay, it doesn't affect anything." After spending some time with Daphne, Lin Yi felt that this girl's personality was simply that of a typical naive person.

She would often cause trouble due to minor oversights, like she had just forgotten that the sparrows' flying ability had deteriorated.

"We're here. Please wait a moment. I need to contact other forces." Daphne said as she gestured to Lin Yi to find a place to sit down.

Except for meetings, basically no one comes to this place on weekdays.

Daphne walked to a device in the room that contained a red gem and began to tinker with it.

A few minutes later, with Daphne's series of operations, the originally bright room was suddenly quickly covered by countless thick fogs.

In an instant, Lin Yi only felt that his body passed through an invisible barrier and entered a different space.

Such concealed spatial movement, in Lin Yi's opinion, the other party's spatial level is even higher than Mei, whom Lin Yi met in Heiyuan.

"Phoenix?"

Although the origin of the thick fog is unknown, Lin Yi can clearly feel an extremely violent force from the fog.

Lin Yi speculated that it was most likely that the Phoenix used its power to create this alien space in order to facilitate communication between the various forces in the territory.

"Well, there's a newcomer, welcome."

Directly opposite Lin Yi, a woman from the Three-Winged Tribe, dressed in a dancer-like outfit, greeted Lin Yi with a smile on her face.

The three pairs of wings behind her trembled slightly, revealing her identity.

On her left sat a member of the Honghu tribe dressed like a scholar. She wore a pair of exquisite glasses and her eyes were full of wisdom.

On the right hand side of the Honghu tribe is a member of the Sparrow tribe wearing armor.

Including Daphne, who represents the Chi Ming Clan and the Phoenix Temple, representatives of the four major races of the Chikong Continent have already appeared in this space.

"What happened, little Daphne."

The representative of the Honghu tribe who spoke was named Bertel Teresa.

She was born into an extraordinary family, being the descendant of the previous King Honghu.

In today's Protector's territory, she is the leader of the academic faction and holds a very important position.

The technology for building the Wall of Living Beings was provided by Teresa.

With her outstanding knowledge and wisdom, she made an indelible contribution to the protection of the territory.

The three-winged creature dressed like a dancer is named Kepeljeen.

She is not of noble birth, but she has a very high say in the Three Wings Clan.

The reason is very simple. The intelligence organization of the entire territory is in the hands of Kepeljeen.

The representative of the Sparrow Clan is called Yves Erica. As can be seen from her name, she is a descendant of Queen Erica.

The reason why she could become the representative of the Sparrow Clan was very simple, that is, she was very talented, only inferior to Queen Erica back then. As early as the age of twelve, Yves Erica was already unrivaled among her peers.

Of course, this gift does not come without a price.

Along with this, Yves Erica's life span burned out at a rate far exceeding that of the average Sparrow.

According to Teresa's prediction, under normal circumstances, even if the Sparrows gain power by sacrificing their own lifespans, as long as they use it properly, they can live to be forty or fifty years old.

But Yves Erica is different. Her body is always in a state of sacrifice. Although her powerful talent can alleviate the adverse effects of sacrifice to a certain extent, the consumption every moment has caused great harm to Yves Erica's body.

Under this situation, it would be a blessing for Yves Erica to live to the age of thirty.

"My cleaning team has discovered a terrible situation." Daphne's expression was extremely ugly. It was extremely rare for her to have such a serious expression as she usually looked confused and dazed.

"Are you referring to the army of polluted bodies that appeared in the Yinlin Mountains? I have received relevant information not long ago. It seems that your men are really unlucky and just happened to run into them." As the head of the territory's intelligence organization, Capell Jean guessed what the other party was going to say as soon as Daphne finished speaking.

In the area around Daphne, the only emergency that could allow her to open the Sky Temple and summon representatives from all parties was the army of pollutants in the Silver Mountains.

"What? How come it's so fast? It hasn't even been three years since the last army of pollutants. Why are the pollutants gathering faster and faster now?" Yves Erica's face looked very ugly. As the representative of the territory's army, Yves Erica was very clear about the territory's military strength.

Last time, in order to repel the invading army of pollutants, almost half of the territory's middle and high-level military forces were lost.

After three years of recuperation, the territory's strength has finally recovered to about two-thirds, but now it is facing the dilemma of the polluted army gathering again, which is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the territory that has not yet fully recovered.

"There's nothing we can do. According to my prediction, this kind of situation will only become more frequent in the future." Butler Theresa's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.

"Based on the data collected in recent years, I have noticed that the number of fourth-level pollutants among the pollutants has shown a significant upward trend. Although the intelligence of these fourth-level pollutants cannot be compared with that of fifth-level pollutants, they are already able to issue simple instructions and drive lower-level pollutants to act."

"The reason why our territory has encountered more and more polluted bodies in recent years is that the number of fourth-level polluted bodies around the territory is increasing. Under the call of these fourth-level polluted bodies, polluted bodies in the surrounding areas will naturally continue to flow into our territory. If this continues, the area we can control will inevitably be further compressed, and it is very likely to trigger a decisive battle that determines life and death in the end." Theresa finished her speculation in one breath. These speculations did not come out of thin air, but were based on the detailed intelligence analysis provided by Keppel Jean.

As for why the two exceptional fifth-level pollutants were excluded, whether it was Erica or Tween Millie, with their strength as fifth-level pollutants, if they really wanted to deal with the territory, there was no need to go to such great lengths.

As long as they appear on the battlefield, they can cause all combatants on their side to be polluted simply by relying on their unique pollution characteristics.

For them, such a roundabout strategy is obviously not in line with their style.

"So this person is the one who witnessed the army of pollutants with his own eyes. I only have one question for you now. Have you seen any fourth-level polluters among the army of pollutants?"

Yves Erica looked straight at Lin Yi. She now had only one goal. If there really were fourth-level pollutants behind these pollutants, then she had to take action personally.

The existence of a fourth-order pollutant is like a bomb that could explode at any time for the territory. If it is not dealt with in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

"You've stumped me. I encountered the army of contaminants suddenly, so how could I pay attention to this? But according to my judgment, there is a high probability that there are fourth-level contaminants controlling the army."

"Tell me what you think." Keppel Jean supported his chin with both hands and did not underestimate Lin Yi's words just because he was just the captain of the cleaning team.

As the leader of the territory's intelligence organization, Keppel Jean knew too well how valuable the intelligence provided by frontline personnel was.

The reason why she was able to ensure the security of the territory in all aspects was because she had placed important spies in various key locations in the territory.

It is also because of this that she can obtain information related to the survival of the territory in a timely manner.

"The reason is simple. The movements of the army of pollutants are too abnormal."

"Abnormal?"

"That's right. Normally, low-level pollutants have no independent consciousness. Unless they sense the breath of a living person, they will generally just wander around aimlessly, looking for prey."

"But this time the army of pollutants is different. Although these low-level pollutants seem to be wandering around, their range of activities is limited to a certain area. This is why our team was caught off guard and suddenly encountered an army of pollutants."

"According to normal rules of action, with such a large-scale activity of pollutants, there will inevitably be a small number of pollutants spreading and wandering from the direction of the Yinlin Mountains. In this case, we will definitely take preventive measures in advance. But this time it was not the case. They have been lurking near the boundary between the Yinlin Mountains and the Black River Forest until our team broke in and encountered most of the pollutants. Then they attacked us according to their instincts."

"This abnormal behavior shows that there is a high possibility that someone is behind them controlling it. It is impossible for those low-level pollutants to have such high intelligence and be able to act like this."

After listening to what Lin Yi said, the others nodded, agreeing with his point of view.

"It seems that this time the decapitation operation is inevitable." Keppel Jean looked solemn and said nothing more.

Lin Yi's analysis basically concluded that there were fourth-order pollutants in the Yinlin Mountains, but the exact number was unknown. In this case, her intelligence organization would need to conduct in-depth investigations.

Even though Keppel Jean knew that this mission would cost her intelligence organization a heavy price, she had no choice for the safety of the territory.

Once the opponent's army of contaminated bodies really moves towards the Wall of Living Beings, the consequences will be disastrous.

The Wall of Living Beings is an important line of defense for the territory against pollutants. Once breached, the residents in the territory will face great danger.

"I have recently developed some new drugs, which should be able to help you in this mission." Theresa knew that she was not a man of great martial arts, so she would naturally not take part in such a task.

But as a logistics staff, Theresa will do all the logistical work.

"Just let me know when you find her." After saying this, Yves Erica disappeared into the fog.

Among the four, Yves Erica spoke the least, but shouldered the most difficult tasks.

She is the only one with the highest combat power among the four people. Facing the fourth-order polluted body that may be lurking in the Yinlin Mountains, only if she takes action will she have a greater chance of successfully killing it.

As for why the top leaders in the territory are all women, the reason is very simple. The previous battles have wiped out all the men in the territory.

The male-to-female ratio in the territory has now reached 1 to 10. In this case, women naturally have to step up and take the lead.

"Daphne, don't let this guy go outside the Wall of Living for now. We'll still have to rely on him to lead the way later." Capell Jean looked at Daphne and said.

Daphne nodded after hearing what Keppel Jean said. At the moment, Lin Yi was the person who knew the most about the army of pollutants in the Yinlin Mountains. When Yves Erica arrived at the Wall of Living Beings, Lin Yi would naturally be needed to lead the way for Yves Erica.

"Okay, let's not make this matter public for now and make sure it doesn't affect the morale of the territory. Daphne, you have to keep a close eye on your own people." Theresa sighed and began to prepare to arrange manpower and find ways to divert the attention of civilians in the territory.

If civilians were to learn that the army of polluted bodies was once again approaching the city, it would most likely cause panic and riots, and the situation would be difficult to control.

In this troubled time, people's emotions are inherently fragile, and the slightest disturbance may trigger a huge chain reaction.

The territory is not a monolithic entity. In addition to the Phoenix Temple, there are also forces that believe in the Lord of Pollution.

This group of people promote an extreme idea. They feel that the world is on the verge of despair. Instead of struggling, it is better to actively fall into the polluted area. They claim that this will not only allow them to retain a bit of sanity in the doomsday, but also allow them to reunite with their deceased relatives and friends.

These words were extremely deceptive to many weak-willed civilians, causing many of them to be instigated and join the ranks of those who believed in the Lord of Pollution, causing a lot of turmoil and chaos in the territory.

In fact, it is extremely difficult to retain consciousness under the pollution of the Lord of Pollution. There are only a few successful believers, almost one in a hundred.

In the end, it was Phoenix that took action to eliminate the believers of the Lord of Pollution in the territory and successfully stopped the riot.

But unfortunately, the main leader of the Lord of Pollution managed to escape the territory and hid outside the Wall of Living Beings.

Given their previous actions and consistent stance, it is highly likely that the followers of the Lord of Pollution are secretly interfering in this action.

"Well, see you next time." Keppel Jean waved his hand, and the fog surrounding Lin Yi and Daphne began to dissipate like the tide.

"Don't leave here for the time being. I will arrange for someone to bring you food and other things." Daphne looked at Lin Yi, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

This is Daphne's true character. Just now, when she was discussing the pollution army, her mind was completely occupied by the pollution army, so she didn't show this trait. (End of this chapter)
