Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

The streamlined body of the spacecraft exudes a cold metallic luster, like a dormant giant beast.

The fuselage is covered with intricate patterns, and vaguely, one can see energy flowing through it.

Teresa walked to the side of the spaceship and gently stroked the lines on the fuselage: "This is one of the last legacies of our tribe, named 'Fengming'."

She paused, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. "Unfortunately, we can no longer replicate this spaceship. Thirty years ago, the last person who knew how to make it passed away. Although he tried his best to record the knowledge in his mind in a book, he only left half of the production drawings. Those unfinished parts will forever become a mystery."

Theresa sighed. Now the technological system of the entire territory has become distorted to the extreme.

The most fatal problem is the backwardness of the storage system.

The Honghu people can only rely on paper and pen to record the knowledge in their minds bit by bit.

But this speed... is too slow. Many people are unable to write down the knowledge in their minds until the end of their lives.

The lost wisdom is like dust blown away by the wind and can never be found again.

“But even though it can’t be replicated, it still plays a huge role.”

"The Fengming is extremely fast, far exceeding any aircraft we currently have. Moreover, it is equipped with powerful defense and attack systems. With its help, the journey to the north will be greatly shortened, and we will also be better able to deal with dangers along the way."

After saying that, she walked towards the hatch of the spacecraft and quickly entered a complex password into the combination lock next to it.

With a slight buzzing sound, the hatch slowly opened, revealing the high-tech cockpit inside.

"Come in." Theresa walked into the spaceship first, followed closely by Lin Yi and Daphne.

In the cockpit, various flashing indicator lights and complex operating panels are dazzling.

There was a faint metallic smell in the air. Theresa walked to the main driver's seat and sat down. Her fingers slid quickly across the operating panel and activated various systems on the spacecraft.

"Fengming's fuel is not stored here." She explained while checking the system, "I will have someone deliver it later. You can wait here and get familiar with the environment."

She quickly scanned the screen and after confirming that there were no major problems with the system, she stood up and walked towards the cabin door.

"I'll be back soon." Theresa left a word and her figure disappeared outside the cabin.

While waiting, Daphne looked around boredly, and her eyes finally fell on a button beside her.

She touched it with her fingers, and a holographic projection unfolded in front of the two of them. In the projection, the structure of each part of the spacecraft was clearly visible, and the paths of energy flow were intertwined like veins.

"This... is amazing," Daphne exclaimed, her eyes full of curiosity and awe.

The projection screen suddenly flickered, and then switched to some blurry image clips.

In the picture, a group of people dressed in strange costumes are busy assembling a spaceship.

The surroundings were filled with glowing energy crystals, and in the center of the picture, the shadow of a phoenix hovered in the air, its wings spread, shedding bits of golden light, and slowly injecting its own power into the core of the spacecraft.

Before the two had time to investigate, footsteps were heard outside the spaceship, and Theresa walked in with several tribesmen carrying a huge energy tank.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. This is Fengming's fuel, a special high-energy crystal compressed liquid."

Everyone connected the energy tank to the spacecraft's fuel system, and with a slight surging sound, the fuel began to slowly inject.

Theresa returned to the driver's seat and checked the parameters again.

After confirming that everything was ready, she turned her head and looked at Lin Yi and Daphne, with a hint of solemnity in her tone: "Get ready to go. This journey... will not be peaceful."

As the roof opened, the spacecraft slowly rose into the air, quickly broke through the thick clouds, and roared towards the north.

Lin Yi stood by the porthole, looking down.

The earth rapidly retreated in his sight, and the Wall of Living Beings and the dense forest of the Kurokawa Forest were left behind in the blink of an eye.

Soon, a vast desert came into view.

This desert is very different from what we usually see. Under the sunlight, the sand does not appear to be the common yellow-brown color, but instead has a strange purple-black luster.

The strong wind blew up the dust and sand, forming huge sandstorms that wreaked havoc in the desert like a giant beast.

"Be careful."

Theresa's voice came from the driver's seat. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were fixed on the screen in front of her.

"An abnormal energy reaction was detected below, but the specific situation is unknown." The spacecraft's intelligent system suddenly issued a cold warning sound, breaking the silence in the cabin.

Theresa reacted quickly, her fingers sliding rapidly across the control panel, trying to pull the spacecraft higher and avoid the danger below.

At this moment——

"boom!"

A dull crash came from the bottom of the spacecraft, and the entire fuselage vibrated violently.

Lin Yi's feet trembled and he almost lost his balance.

He glanced out of the porthole and saw a huge black shadow passing quickly in the dust below, so fast that it was difficult to catch.

Theresa's fingers slid rapidly across the operating panel, her eyes fixed on the data jumping on the screen, trying to piece together the truth from the messy information.

"There are a lot of irregular energy fluctuations in the dust below," she pointed at the densely flashing bright spots on the screen, with a hint of caution in her tone, "It looks like there are a lot of individuals gathering. They... seem to be acting in coordination."

Her fingers quickly entered commands on the weapon system's control panel and then pressed the fire button.

Several dull roars were heard from the bottom of the spacecraft, and several energy bombs shot into the dust below.

"Boom——! Boom——!"

The sound of the explosion echoed in the desert, and sand and dust were blown everywhere, forming a huge cloud of smoke and dust.

In the smoke and dust, some vague figures could be vaguely seen struggling, but they were soon submerged in the rolling sand waves.

Before the smoke and dust cleared, more collisions followed.

The fuselage of the spacecraft shook violently, the instruments in the cabin issued shrill alarms, and red warning lights flashed continuously, illuminating the entire cockpit blood red.

"Teresa, try to keep the spacecraft high and stable. I'll give it a try."

Theresa said nothing more. Her fingers moved swiftly on the instrument, rapidly raising the altitude of the spacecraft.

The spacecraft's engine emitted a low roar, and the fuselage gradually stabilized.

Lin Yi lifted the restriction of [Destiny Upper Limit] and also cancelled the friendly marks of Theresa and Daphne to ensure that the next attack would not accidentally hurt them.

Lin Yi gently pressed his palm on the floor of the spaceship, and felt a cold touch on his palm.

"Om-"

An invisible ripple spread out from Lin Yi's palm, quickly swept across the bottom of the spacecraft, and spread into the dust below.

The ripples of the healing magic did not cause any damage to the spacecraft. It was like an invisible detection wave that instantly penetrated the cover of sand and dust.

At the same time, the spacecraft's radar, which had been unresponsive, suddenly flashed, and a large number of red dots appeared on the screen.

These red dots seemed to appear out of thin air, densely distributed around the spacecraft. The radar that was blank just now was now full of enemy traces.

Soon, the scan results appeared on the screen.

A group of creatures that resemble giant bats are lurking in the sandstorm. The color of their bodies blends into the desert and is almost indistinguishable with the naked eye.

These creatures have the ability to detect sound waves and can avoid the detection waves emitted by spacecraft, thus hiding in the blind spots of radar.

These bat creatures are huge, each one is four or five meters long, and their bodies are covered with sharp scales.

Their heads were very hard, and when that part hit the shield at the bottom of the spacecraft just now, Lin Yi felt a slight vibration.

After being "treated" by Lin Yi with the poisonous milk, the bodies of these bat creatures instantly underwent abnormal changes.

A large number of mutated organs grow on their body surface, twisted tumors and deformed tentacles emerge from the gaps between their scales, destroying their originally perfect camouflage and ability to move.

This sudden change made it impossible for them to evade the spacecraft's detection sound waves flexibly, and they were eventually exposed to the radar's scanning range.

"Okay, leave the rest to me." Theresa's fingers slid quickly across the control panel, quickly adjusting the weapon parameters.

On the screen, densely packed red dots were locked one by one, and each target was accurately marked.

"Try this!" she whispered, then pressed the launch button.

"Om-!"

High-energy laser beams spurted out from the weapon systems on both sides of the spacecraft, like dense rain of light, pouring towards the locked giant bats.

The laser beam cut through the air and instantly hit the scales on the bat's body. The moment the laser came into contact with the scales, a dazzling light burst out.

The high temperature melted the scales instantly, making a sizzling sound, and a pungent burnt smell filled the air.

Some bat monsters that were too close to the spaceship were directly roasted into charcoal by the lasers. Their bodies fell from the sky and hit the desert, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Some bats were not seriously injured. They used the cover of the sandstorm to avoid the laser attack.

Visibility is extremely low in a sandstorm, and the laser beam is greatly weakened when passing through the sand and dust. It is difficult to cause fatal damage to the enemy unless the distance is extremely close.

"What troublesome weather." Theresa cursed under her breath, with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

Her fingers slid across the control panel quickly, changing the weapon system quickly.

The next second, several energy bombs shot out from the spacecraft's launcher and headed straight for the group of bats.

"Boom——! Boom——!"

A series of explosions sounded in the dust, and flames and energy intertwined, instantly exploding among the bats.

Several larger bats were hit directly, and their huge bodies were torn into pieces in the explosion. Black blood and flesh splattered everywhere, dyeing the surrounding sand and dust red.

But more bats below took advantage of the sandstorm to continue rushing towards the spaceship.

"These guys are quite troublesome!" There was a hint of annoyance in Theresa's voice. She held the joystick with her right hand and quickly adjusted the flight trajectory of the spacecraft to avoid the crazy impact of the bats.

"Teresa, does the spacecraft have any weapons that can create a large-scale impact to shock these bats away or create some distance?"

While Theresa was maneuvering the spaceship to dodge, she was also quickly searching for relevant weapons.

Her eyes quickly scanned the screen and finally locked on an option.

"Yes, an energy shockwave generator! But using this weapon requires a short charge, and there is a cooldown period after each use."

"I can't care about so much, let's get these things out first."

Theresa did not hesitate and quickly activated the energy shock wave generator.

A dazzling white light began to gather at the bottom of the spacecraft. The light kept flickering and jumping, and energy was surging wildly in it, like a giant beast about to wake up.

"Ready, three, two, one!" Theresa's voice echoed in the cabin, and her finger pressed the start button heavily.

"Om-!"

A huge energy wave swept out from the bottom of the spacecraft, like an invisible wave, sweeping through the surrounding space with devastating force.

The bat that was swooping down frantically was instantly hit by this powerful force.

The bats' bodies tumbled and flew backwards uncontrollably in the air.

For a moment, the dust was stirred up even more violently, and the sharp cries of the bats seemed particularly miserable under the impact of the energy waves.

"Success!" Daphne shouted excitedly.

"Don't be careless, take this opportunity to create distance." Lin Yi doesn't have the habit of opening champagne at halftime. Although these bat monsters are not very strong, if Lin Yi wants to rush to the northern part of the continent, he can only rely on this spaceship.

Theresa quickly pushed the accelerator of the spacecraft, and the engine of the "Fengming" made a low roar, and the fuselage rushed away in the sandstorm like a silver lightning.

The dust was picked up by the airflow of the spacecraft, forming a long trail, like a giant silver dragon shuttling through the desert.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, dense red dots appeared on the radar screen again.

The bat monsters that were repelled by the energy shock waves seemed to be completely enraged. They chased the "Fengming" madly and bit the tail of the spacecraft tightly.

"These guys are crazy!" Theresa couldn't help but curse, her fingers tightly gripping the joystick, a trace of cold sweat oozing from her forehead.

The speed of the spaceship has reached its limit, but the speed of those bat monsters is not inferior at all, and they are even gradually closing the distance.

"It seems that they are determined to stop us." Lin Yi stared at the radar screen and quickly thought of a countermeasure. "Teresa, how long will it take for the energy shock wave generator to cool down?"

Theresa checked the system data and said, "It will take another two minutes. This is already the fastest cooling speed."

"That's enough, leave the rest to me."

After confirming that the time was shorter than he expected, Lin Yi slowly closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

The dense black lightning quickly covered the surface of the spacecraft like a living thing.

As soon as the bat approached the spaceship, it was instantly entangled by the undercurrent of lightning.

The black lightning quickly penetrated into the bats' bodies, frantically absorbing their physical strength and vitality.

"hiss--!"

The entangled bats screamed miserably, flapping their wings weakly as they struggled to break free.

Bats fell from the sky one after another. Their bodies quickly shriveled up under the erosion of the undercurrent of lightning, and eventually turned into dry shells, smashing into the desert and stirring up a cloud of dust.

As more and more bats approached, Lin Yi's consumption of maintaining the undercurrent thunder became greater and greater.

The black lightning was like an invisible giant net, constantly swallowing up the approaching bats.

The death of each bat means that Lin Yi’s physical and mental strength is further consumed.

Although the Star Meditation Method continued to replenish Lin Yi's power of the abyss, the loss of physical and mental strength made him feel exhausted.

Lin Yi was completely immersed in meditation, with beads of sweat gradually appearing on his forehead.

"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" Daphne looked at Lin Yi worriedly. Obviously, she also sensed the instability of Lin Yi's breath.

The bats outside the spaceship seemed to sense something was wrong. They no longer attacked blindly, but began to form an organized group to flank from different directions.

Some larger bats even used their bodies as cover, standing in front of other bats, trying to create opportunities for their companions to get closer to the spacecraft.

"These guys... actually started to use tactics!" There was a hint of shock in Theresa's voice. Her fingers slid quickly on the operating panel, trying to adjust the flight trajectory of the spacecraft to avoid the encirclement of bats.

"Mr. Lin, please hold on a little longer. The energy shock wave generator will soon cool down."

Lin Yi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the accelerated consumption of his physical strength made his breathing become heavier.

After more than ten seconds, Teresa shouted excitedly: "Mr. Lin, the energy shock wave generator has cooled down!"

Theresa pressed the button, and a dazzling energy shock wave spread out from the center of the spacecraft.

The powerful energy instantly blew away the surrounding bats, and the bats that were originally organized to attack were now shaken to pieces.

"Success!" There was a hint of relief in Theresa's voice. With the help of this attack, the "Fengming" finally shook off the group of monsters behind it.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and tried to stand up from the ground, but he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Daphne was quick-witted and managed to hold Lin Yi up, preventing him from falling.

"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" Daphne looked worried and carefully helped Lin Yi sit on a chair beside her.

"It's okay, I just consumed too much mental energy." Lin Yi closed his eyes and pressed his nose bridge with his fingers, trying to relieve the headache that felt like being hit by countless heavy hammers.

It has to be said that Lin Yi rarely has this feeling of pushing himself to the limit.

But correspondingly, after this consumption and recovery, Lin Yi became more adept at controlling the undercurrent thunder.

"Is there any unusual movement from the Ancient God?" Lin Yi asked Daphne with his eyes closed.

"No, the location of the mark has not changed, but I can feel that the power transmitted from the mark has weakened. I'm afraid that after some time, the mark will be erased by the other party." Daphne's voice was a little low.

"Here, this can relieve your symptoms, Mr. Lin." Theresa took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and threw it to Daphne. Daphne unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took the potion and found that it was actually a bottle of gold-level recovery potion according to the appraisal of Samsara Paradise.

It can not only restore mana to a large extent, but also alleviate the side effects caused by mental overdraft.

This level of mana recovery potion is extremely precious even in the Paradise of Reincarnation.

After drinking it in one gulp, Lin Yi suddenly felt a warm power spreading throughout his body.

The originally exhausted body was instantly refreshed, and the tingling sensation in the brain caused by mental overdraft gradually eased under the action of this force, and the overall condition of the person improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After getting rid of the group of bat monsters, Theresa quickly adjusted the flight altitude of the spacecraft.

She raised the altitude of the spacecraft a lot. Although this would increase fuel consumption, there was no way to worry about wasting fuel in this situation. (End of this chapter)
