Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After clearing out these maze guards, Lin Yi began to search the entire maze.

Although supplies are piled up in many corners of the maze, with the passage of time, these equipment and resources are now like weathered bones, turning into dust with the slightest touch.

Lin Yi picked up a piece of broken armor casually. As soon as his fingertips touched it, the armor shattered like sand and scattered all over the ground.

Even if you bring this kind of thing back to the Samsara Paradise, I'm afraid even the junk collector won't bother to take a look at it.

There was no other choice. After Lin Yi cleared the red dots on the map, he walked towards the blue mark on the map.

After passing through the last passage, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly opened up.

A huge square comes into view, and at the end of the square stands a creepy gate.

The gate was made up of countless thick tentacles, and the surface was covered with a layer of sticky black liquid, like the secretions of some creature.

The tentacles squirmed slightly in the air, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.

"This place... is really disgusting."

Lin Yi discovered that nothing that had anything to do with the ancient gods was normal; everything was twisted and corrupt.

However, this disgusting level of alienation made Lin Yi even more certain of his own judgment.

Behind this door, there must be something important that is closely related to the ancient gods.

Lin Yi did not approach the gate rashly, but stood where he was, carefully looking at everything around him.

The tentacle gate was surrounded by strange runes that emitted a faint blue light, as if maintaining some kind of seal.

In order to test the danger of the door, Lin Yi picked up a stone of suitable size from the ground, weighed it, and then gently threw it towards the door.

"Snapped!"

As soon as the stone touched the tentacles, the tentacles, which were originally wriggling slowly, suddenly sprang up and tightly wrapped around the stone like a hungry beast.

The black liquid on the surface of the tentacles began to corrode the stone, making a "sizzling" sound.

In just a few seconds, the stone dissolved into a pool of sticky liquid, which dripped onto the ground along the tentacles, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple."

Just after he startled the tentacles, the tentacles on the gate began to wriggle violently, as if some sleeping monster was awakened.

Soon, a huge tumor slowly emerged from the tentacle, its surface covered with hideous blood vessels and mucus.

Lin Yi did not dare to be careless and took two steps back to distance himself from the tumor.

At the moment Lin Yi stepped back, the tumor suddenly burst, and sticky black liquid splashed out, falling on the ground with a "hissing" corrosive sound.

A three-winged tribe member dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of Lin Yi, holding a special spear in his hand. The aura on his body was much stronger than the three-winged tribe members that Lin Yi had seen in the territory before.

"Intruder, your steps end here."

……

When Lin Yi saw the other party’s character panel, a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

Wilcox Oscar - he was no stranger to this name.

In the world introduction, the king of the Three-Winged Tribe should have been killed by Bellamy of the Sparrow Tribe long ago.

"Are you from the Sparrow Tribe? No, there is no aura of the Phoenix on you. It seems that you are not from this world." Wilcox Oscar opened his eyes, revealing a pair of completely black pupils without a trace of white, which looked particularly creepy.

Lin Yi noticed that the opponent did not launch an attack immediately, but instead showed an odd calmness.

Obviously, this powerful three-winged man still retains a certain self-awareness.

Lin Yi didn't say much, just nodded slightly, his eyes still vigilantly staring at Wilcox Oscar in front of him.

"Since you are not from the Sparrow Tribe, nor from this world, what is your purpose?" Wilcox Oscar's voice carried an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Lin Yi did not answer directly, but asked: "Why are you here? As far as I know, you have been killed by Bellamy."

Wilcox Oscar's body trembled slightly, and the darkness in his eyes seemed to fluctuate.

But soon, his expression returned to calm, as if the fluctuation just now was just an illusion.

He looked down at his hands, his fingers slightly curled up, then slowly opened, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice: "Bellamy... that guy is indeed very strong. But I am not completely dead. A force from outside the world allowed me to 'resurrect' in another form. However, this resurrection... is not complete."

Lin Yi caught the key information in his words: "You mean, what's behind this door?"

Wilcox Oscar did not answer, but slowly raised the spear in his hand, pointing the tip of the spear at Lin Yi: "No matter who you are, since you broke in here, you must pay the price."

Lin Yi didn't say much, the other party's reaction was within his expectations.

The other party's mental state is extremely unstable, and being able to get so much information from him is already a pleasant surprise.

Before he finished speaking, Wilcox Oscar's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared behind Lin Yi, with his spear piercing Lin Yi's back with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

"Sky Wing, Absolute Shadow!"

Facing Lin Yi, he did not use any tentative feints, but directly used his killing move.

This shot was as fast as lightning and carried the power to destroy everything, vowing to kill Lin Yi with one blow.

Lin Yi's perception had already been enhanced to the extreme, and he sensed the danger the moment Wilcox Oscar disappeared.

He drew out the long sword from his waist with his backhand, stepped down slightly, and pointed the tip of the sword at the ground. He was like a sharp blade ready to strike, with a restrained edge but concealed murderous intent.

"clang--!"

Lin Yi's sword blade was raised accurately, and sparks flew the moment the sword tip collided with the gun tip.

He twisted his wrist, and the sword slid forward along the gun barrel, cutting directly at the opponent's fingers holding the gun - this is a typical "twisting blade" technique in close combat swordsmanship.

Wilcox Oscar reacted very quickly, stepping back and putting away his gun the moment the sword approached, but Lin Yi's pursuit was like a thorn in his side, leaving him no chance to breathe.

"Hmph!" Wilcox Oscar snorted coldly, and the spear in his hand shook. The tip of the spear trembled and tore through the air, piercing Lin Yi's throat.

The shot was as fast as lightning, and the gun even left an afterimage.

At the moment Oscar fired his gun, a few strands of dark soul threads silently emerged from Lin Yi's sleeves and instantly wrapped around the opponent's ankles along the ground.

The power of the abyss attached to the dark soul thread caused Wilcox Oscar's movements to slow down slightly, and the power of the gun also weakened a bit.

"A mere trifle!" The three pairs of wings behind Oscar fluttered, and the violent airflow blew away the dark soul thread wrapped around his ankle.

At the moment when he was distracted, Lin Yi's sword seized the gap when the gun was withdrawn and stabbed Oscar's left shoulder with a thrust!
"Puchi!" The sword blade penetrated three inches into the flesh, and black blood splattered.

Oscar's expression changed slightly, but he didn't panic.

He swept his spear across, the spear body carrying violent energy, forcing Lin Yi to retreat several steps.

Then, Oscar's spear glowed silver, and the wings behind him fully spread out. He floated in the air and entered the [Soaring] state.

His attack range expanded, and the shadows of the gun poured down like a rainstorm, covering the entire passage.

The aftermath of the gunfire tore countless cracks into the wall, with rubble flying everywhere and smoke and dust filling the air.

Lin Yi retreated quickly in the shadow of the gun, and his sword blocked several fatal attacks, but a bloody wound was still cut on his shoulder by the gun.

Seeing that Oscar's attacks were getting faster and faster, Lin Yi's sword blade went upstream against the gun barrel, while the dark soul threads rose from the walls on both sides and wrapped around Oscar's wings, trying to restrict his movements.

Oscar reacted extremely quickly, pulling back his spear, and the butt of the spear struck Lin Yi's ribs with great force.

Lin Yi had predicted this attack. His left hand suddenly loosened the hilt of the sword, and his five fingers formed into claws, accurately grasping the gun barrel, using the force to flip into the air!

In mid-air, Lin Yi's body spun like a top, and the blade in his right hand took advantage of the momentum of the rotation, turning into a silver halo, and with a sharp sound that tore through the air, it slashed straight at Oscar's neck! This strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless!

"Crack——!"

The sword blade cut through the armor on Oscar's neck, making a sharp metallic tearing sound.

Just when the sword was about to cut off his throat, Oscar's wings closed together to block his neck and blocked Lin Yi's fatal blow.

At the moment of the wrestling, the dark soul thread in Lin Yi's sleeve shot out and pierced Oscar's pupil!
The speed of the dark soul thread was extremely fast, and Oscar instinctively protected his face with his wings, trying to block the invasion of the dark soul thread.

This momentary flaw was enough for Lin Yi to seize the opportunity.

Lin Yi's sword exerted force, broke through Yu Yi's defense, and pierced Oscar's heart.

The feeling of the sword piercing the flesh came, and black blood flowed down the sword, dripping onto the ground, making a "hissing" corrosion sound.

Lin Yi drew his sword and retreated, and the blood on the blade was thrown into an arc and spilled onto the ground.

Oscar stumbled back, leaning his spear on the ground, his dark pupils gradually dimming: "Bellamy's punch... is not as fast as yours... Run... It won't be me next."

As soon as he finished speaking, Oscar's body suddenly began to undergo horrible changes.

His skin was torn apart by an invisible force, and blood gushed out from the wound, but it solidified into a sticky black gel in mid-air, emitting a disgusting stench.

His skin peeled off bit by bit, revealing the wriggling flesh underneath, as if countless tiny worms were twisting wildly under the skin.

The three pairs of wing joints on the back broke in reverse, making a teeth-grinding "crack" sound, and then turned into six rugged dark red tentacles, covered with hideous suction cups and barbs on the surface, waving wantonly in the air.

The most horrifying thing was his head - the originally handsome face was split into three petals, like a blooming flower, and the tumor in the center slowly opened a huge vertical pupil filled with bloodshot.

Lin Yi leaped back to create some distance, holding the sword across his body.

The dark soul silk fell silently, quickly weaving into a dense warning net on the ground.

The alienated Oscar's tentacles pierced into the ground, and the floor tiles of the entire square collapsed with a loud bang, gravel flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Countless black roots emerged from the cracks and wrapped around Lin Yi.

Even more deadly was the purple light emitted by the vertical pupils—the rocks illuminated by it softened instantly and turned into flowing mud!

The power of the abyss spread along the sword blade, crushing the attacking roots into pieces.

Lin Yi rushed forward on the collapsed rubble, with the tip of his sword pointing directly at the vertical pupil.

At the same time, Lin Yi used the skill of God Coming Down to Earth, and a faint golden light appeared around his body. He briefly entered a state of magic immunity and ignored the purple light emitted by the opponent's vertical pupils.

When the tip of the sword was only half a meter away from the vertical pupil, Oscar's chest suddenly split open, and three bone whips with barbs protruded!
Lin Yi's pupils contracted, and he twisted his body to change direction. The sword blade scraped against the bone whip, sparks flew, and the harsh sound of metal friction made his teeth ache.

Although the movement was fast, the barb of the bone whip still left a bloody mark on Lin Yi's shoulder, and blood flowed down his arm.

The dark soul thread took the opportunity to wrap around the tip of the bone whip, and Lin Yi used the force to pull it and threw it to Oscar's front.

"puff!"

The sword blade pierced Oscar's shoulder, and the granulation tissue at the wound grew wildly, blocking the sword tightly.

The mutated Oscar's tentacles took the opportunity to roll towards Lin Yi's waist and abdomen, and the suction cups densely covered on the surface of the tentacles opened, revealing the serrated fangs inside.

Lin Yi let go of the sword, hooked the dark soul thread with his fingertips, and moved to the side.

The tentacles brushed across his chest, leaving a bloody scar deep enough to see the bone, and the blood instantly dyed his collar red.

The dark soul thread quickly wrapped around the hilt of the Black and White Rose sword. As the dark soul thread tightened, the blade was pulled out from the vertical pupil and returned to Lin Yi's hand.

Lin Yi has arrived in front of the alienated Oscar, and the distance between them is so close that they can almost touch each other.

"Pfft!"

The sword blade pierced the center of the vertical pupil accurately, and purple-black pus gushed out instantly.

The mutated Oscar let out a shrill roar and waved his tentacles wildly, trying to throw Lin Yi away.

But Lin Yi was prepared. The dark soul threads on the ground wrapped around Oscar's tentacles and held it firmly in place.

Lin Yi's body flipped in the air and landed steadily. He twisted the sword in his hand, and the sword tip stirred in the vertical pupil, completely destroying its core.

"boom--!"

The body of the alienated Oscar trembled violently, and then began to collapse.

Black liquid gushed out from its wounds, and its tentacles and granulations quickly withered, eventually turning into black ash and dissipating into the air, leaving only a disgusting stench.

[Hint: The hunter has killed Wilcox Oscar and obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) x 1. ]

As Oscar died, Lin Yi looked behind him.

At the moment of fierce battle with Oscar just now, he sensed the presence of another aura.

At this moment, the aura became clearer, carrying undisguised hostility.

The black and white rose sword in Lin Yi's hand drooped slightly, and Oscar's blood was still on the tip of the sword, dripping onto the ground, making a "hissing" corrosion sound.

Three archbishops stood not far away, their faces hidden in the shadows under their black robes. Only the purple pendants hanging on their chests flashed strangely in the dim light.

"It's really surprising that you solved this big problem for us."

"We have wanted to enter this gate for a long time, but unfortunately we were always blocked by that troublesome guy. Now, it saves us a lot of effort."

"Intruder, you really did not disappoint us." The leading archbishop spoke slowly, "You are indeed very powerful to be able to kill Oscar. However, your journey ends here."

Lin Yi did not respond, but just gently shook off the blood on the blade.

He could feel that the strength of these three archbishops was not as strong as Oscar, but the purple pendant on their chest emitted a disturbing energy fluctuation.

"Hand over the core of the ancient god, and we can let you die more quickly." The second archbishop said in a cold voice, and with a light wave of the staff in his hand, several followers of the ancient god appeared in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi sneered, raised the black and white rose sword in his hand slightly, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the three people: "You want the ancient god core? Then come and get it yourself."

"Arrogant!" The third archbishop shouted angrily, waving the staff in his hand, and a purple energy wave rushed straight towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi flashed and easily avoided the attack of the energy wave.

He was extremely fast and closed the distance between him and the three archbishops almost instantly.

Lin Yi's sword cut through the air, but suddenly stopped half an inch away from the throat of the first archbishop - the purple energy shield that suddenly erupted under the opponent's black robe blocked the sword blade.

The corners of the archbishop's mouth beneath his hood twisted into twisted arcs, and the pendant on his chest glowed with a strange purple light.

Seven compound eyes suddenly appeared on the top of his staff, and dense purple beams of light swept in a fan shape.

Lin Yi slid backwards along the ground. The moment the beam of light brushed past his cheek, the dark soul thread wrapped around the stone pillar next to him, and he was thrown upside down towards the second archbishop.

The third archbishop suddenly tore open his robe, his body was covered with wriggling purple lines, and the moment he pressed his hands on the ground, countless flesh tentacles rose from the ground.

[Tip: The hunter is affected by the "Corruption Field" and takes 15 points of true damage per second]

Lin Yi stepped on the tentacles with the sole of his boot, and black and red lines appeared on the black and white rose sword.

The moment the sword swept across, three jet-black sword auras shot out in a triangular shape, like the scythe of the god of death, cutting the two nearest followers of the ancient gods in half.

The smelly purple entrails were splashed across the area, which in turn stimulated the tentacles on the ground, making them even more violent.

"It's time for the feast to begin." The first archbishop slammed his staff to the ground, with a strange fanaticism in his voice.

The remains of the slain followers suddenly swelled up, then exploded, and countless thorny flesh buds shot towards Lin Yi in mid-air like a rainstorm.

At the critical moment, a small amount of blood spurted out from Lin Yi's collar and turned into a blood-colored barrier, swallowing all the poisonous stings.

Taking advantage of the recoil, Lin Yi smashed towards the third archbishop like a cannonball.

The moment the sword pierced the archbishop's body, Lin Yi felt an unusual touch. The opponent's body was like sticky gelatin, and the sword penetrated it unhindered, but failed to cause any substantial damage.

The archbishop's body suddenly melted into purple liquid and re-condensed on the ground with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"In my Lord's domain, we are..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi's sword suddenly changed direction, and the hilt wrapped in the power of the abyss slammed heavily on the temple of the second archbishop who was casting a spell.

With the crisp sound of the skull breaking, the dark soul thread wrapped around the pendant on his chest and tightened.

"Crack!"

The moment the pendant shattered, all the tentacles in the area suddenly stiffened.

Without the protection of the pendant, the Archbishop's body shrank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a dried corpse covered with purple crystals, falling to the ground, lifeless. (End of this chapter)
