Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Outside the porthole, the purple-black sand sea surged like a solidified blood clot, and every grain of sand was sucking the halo of the searchlight.

Lin Yi's knuckles tapped unconsciously on the operating table, and the indicators on the dial were jumping at a strange frequency - this was the third time that the spacecraft had experienced gravity field disturbance.

Looking far away, a dark area is faintly emerging on the distant horizon.

It is not like ordinary darkness. Once light approaches, it will be ruthlessly swallowed up and disappear without a trace.

"Is that where the ancient gods are?"

Theresa's fingers slid quickly on the control panel, and the course of the spacecraft shifted slightly, heading towards the area shrouded in darkness.

"Yes, that area is called the 'Land of Eternal Night' and is one of the most dangerous forbidden areas in the Red Sky Continent."

"Forbidden land?" A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. "If I remember correctly, the northern part of the continent should be the territory of the Chi Ming tribe. Since it is your tribe's land, why did it become a forbidden area?"

Daphne clenched the staff in her hand, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "I have heard the elders in the tribe mention this place. She said that the Land of Eternal Night was the richest treasure land on this continent a long time ago. It was rich in products and prosperous, and was the pride of the Chiming tribe. However... after the invasion of the ancient gods, everything changed."

"Tweenmily, the queen of the Chiming tribe, returned here after her resurrection. But she... is no longer the same person she once was. She has become extremely crazy. As a fifth-level polluted body, her strength is so strong that it makes people despair. Under her influence, this tribe land that once nurtured hope has gradually fallen into the land of eternal night and has become a terrifying place full of despair and death."

"Prepare to enter the Land of Eternal Night." Teresa's voice sounded in the cabin, "Activate the protection system and operate the energy shield at full power."

Following her instructions, the patterns on the surface of the spacecraft lit up again, and the light blue light flowed on the fuselage, eventually condensing into a thick and solid energy shield that tightly wrapped the spacecraft.

The spaceship entered the land of eternal night, and the surrounding scene changed instantly.

The originally bright sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand. Endless darkness surged in like a tide, swallowing up all the light.

The darkness was as thick as substance, as if even the air was compressed into a heavy block of lead, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Under the oppression of darkness, the lights of the spacecraft were like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

The bright light that was originally enough to illuminate an area of ​​several thousand meters was now forcibly suppressed to the minimum, and could only barely illuminate a small area in front.

Beyond the light is endless darkness, like a huge mouth, waiting to swallow everything.

Lin Yi could feel that a malicious force was coming from all directions, trying to erode his will.

He originally thought that the changes in this area were only due to the influence of the power of the ancient gods. Now it seems that the power of the ancient gods may just be a fuse that caused the changes in this area.

[Tip: The hunter has entered a high-risk area, the land of eternal night.]

[The Land of Eternal Night is one of the most dangerous areas in this world. It is recommended that more than ten Level 5 contractors enter together. ]

[The hunter has triggered the following task, yes/no to accept it. ]

[Side quest: Undertaker, kill the fifth-level pollution queen Twain Millie. Quest reward: 2 random epic gems. ]

"So that's how it is..." Lin Yi murmured in a low voice, with a glimmer of enlightenment in his eyes.

He finally understood why the ancient god Tyne Zakaria fled to this haunted place known as the "Land of Eternal Night".

This place is not only the home of the Chi Ming tribe, but also the nest of the fifth-level pollutant.

Twain Millie, who has been promoted to a fifth-level polluted body, is no longer an ordinary life form.

Her bloodline had mutated, and she could almost be considered half an ancient god's descendant.

For an ancient god like Tyne Zakaria, Twain Millie's existence is simply a perfect tonic.

As long as he devours her, Tyne Zakaria's power will be greatly restored, and it is even possible for him to break through the shackles of the Phoenix Seal and revive completely.

Lin Yi looked at the task prompt that appeared in front of him and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

Although the reward for this mission is generous, the difficulty of the mission is also ridiculously high.

The fifth-level pollution queen Twain Millie is an extremely troublesome existence in herself, not to mention the ancient god Tyne Zakaria.

If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to complete the mission, but even leaving here alive will be a problem.

"What's wrong, Mr. Lin?" Daphne couldn't help but ask when she saw Lin Yi's serious expression.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something."

[Hunter has accepted the side quest: Undertaker. Quest objective: Kill the fifth-level pollution queen Twain Millie. Quest reward: 2 random epic gems. ]

At this moment, a sharp roar suddenly came from outside the spaceship, and a group of dark shadows rushed out from the darkness and pounced towards the spaceship.

"Enemy attack!" Theresa's voice suddenly rang out, her fingers slid rapidly on the control panel, and the spacecraft's defense system was instantly activated.

This group of black shadows was extremely fast and approached the spaceship in almost the blink of an eye. Their sharp claws flashed coldly in the darkness, pointing directly at the spaceship's energy shield.

"Launch the laser cannon!" Theresa gave the order in a cold voice. The weapon system on the surface of the spacecraft was quickly deployed. Several laser beams shot out from the muzzle, drawing dazzling light marks in the darkness.

The laser beam hit the dark shadows accurately, splashing black sparks.

Surprisingly, these black shadows were not completely defeated by the lasers. Their bodies just trembled slightly and then continued to rush towards the spacecraft.

"Their defense is stronger than expected. Ordinary laser attacks are not very effective against them." Theresa frowned and quickly adjusted her defensive weapons.

A dozen seconds later, dozens of long tubes suddenly extended from the periphery of the spacecraft, with light blue light flashing at the tube openings.

Countless light blue flames gushed out from the long tube. The flames were like roaring fire dragons, instantly engulfing the dark shadows.

The moment the flame touched the black shadow, a sizzling sound was heard, as if it was burning some sticky substance.

The black shadow let out a shrill scream, and its body quickly twisted and melted in the flames, eventually turning into black smoke and drifting into the darkness.

At this moment, Lin Yi noticed that a large number of densely packed red dots appeared on the spacecraft's detection instruments. The number of these red dots far exceeded the detection limit of the radar.

"Warning! Warning! A large number of high-energy reactions have been detected, the number cannot be estimated!" The spacecraft's alarm system sounded, and the harsh sound echoed in the cabin.

Almost at the same time, the spacecraft shook violently, and Lin Yi's body was tilted forward by inertia. He quickly stabilized himself and looked through the porthole into the depths of darkness.

I saw a huge figure gradually emerging in the darkness. It was a giant beast as big as a mountain, covered with black scales all over its body.

Its head is shaped like a giant crocodile, but its mouth is full of sharp fangs. Each fang is more than one person tall and emits a cold light.

Lin Yi detected the other party's intelligence and found that this thing was not a contaminant.

According to the detection results, this giant beast was not directly born from the power of the ancient gods, but was a follower of ordinary animals catalyzed by Twain Millie through the mutated power of the ancient gods.

Unlike those polluted bodies that have completely lost their minds, these followers still retain a certain degree of sanity and even possess extremely high fighting instincts.

After hundreds of years of cultivation, these things have become the dominant creatures in this territory, specifically responsible for the safety of the Land of Eternal Night.

"This... this is too big." Daphne's face looked very ugly. Judging from the panel attributes, the gap between the two sides might not be too big, but when she really faced a monster of this size, she deeply felt the suffocating feeling of oppression.

Theresa had already entered the overclocking state at this moment. Her fingers slid rapidly on the control panel, almost turning into an afterimage.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, her face was flushed, and white smoke even came out of her head, as if she was an overloaded machine.

Now Theresa not only has to control the spaceship to flexibly dodge the intensive attacks, but also has to use the weapon system to lock on the surrounding enemies and counterattack.

This kind of multitasking is a huge burden even for the Honghu people, a race known for their high brain development.

Teresa's condition has reached its limit. If it weren't for the Honghu clan's talent that allowed her brain to be developed far beyond that of ordinary people, she would probably have fainted on the ground due to overload.

If Daphne poured a bottle of water on Theresa's head at this moment, it would probably be evaporated into a ball of water vapor in an instant due to the high temperature.

Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for Lin Yi to go out to fight. The darkness outside and the threat of the giant beasts make any act of leaving the spaceship tantamount to suicide.

He had just tried to summon several soldiers from the Giant Bat Regiment to prepare for an air battle with these monsters.

The soldiers had just been summoned, and before they could deploy their formation, they were torn to pieces by the giant beasts, without even a chance to resist.

Theresa quickly activated the spaceship's flame weapon, and countless light blue flames gushed out from the long tube and sprayed towards the scales of the giant beast.

When the flames touched the scales of the giant beast, a dazzling light burst out, but the giant beast did not seem to be afraid of the flames. It just let out a low roar and rushed towards the flames.

"No, keep your distance!"

Theresa quickly maneuvered the spaceship to retreat, but the monster was extremely fast. It opened its huge mouth and a black beam of energy shot out of its mouth with destructive power, pointing directly at the spaceship.

"Evade quickly!"

Theresa's hands almost turned into afterimages, and the commands on the control panel were issued one by one at a rapid speed.

The Fengming suddenly turned sideways, and the energy shield instantly adjusted to maximum power. The black energy beam brushed the edge of the spacecraft and shot past, leaving a strange trajectory in the darkness, and then hit a mountain in the distance.

boom--!
A strong energy wave erupted, and the mountain was blasted into pieces by the impact of the black light beam.

A huge shock wave swept over, and the spacecraft's energy shield flickered violently, and it could collapse at any time.

"The shield has 40% energy remaining!" There was a hint of anxiety in Teresa's voice, "If it takes one more attack, the shield won't be able to hold on!"

"Oh no, it's going to attack again!" Daphne looked up and noticed that the giant beast was about to attack again.

Teresa's expression also turned extremely ugly. She glanced at the monsters outside that were frantically attacking the protective shield, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.

Among these monsters, some are pure pollution and have no reason at all, but some have normal sanity.

Logically, they should not launch suicide attacks so crazily.

"I know! After the ancient gods arrived here, they must have done something to make the creatures here extremely hostile to outsiders. We are implicated." Teresa's brain was working rapidly, and in just a few seconds, she figured out the reason for the current bad situation.

"Ah? Why?" Daphne's brain almost burned out when she heard Theresa's words.

In her understanding, the ancient gods should be the lords of these polluted bodies and the top existence of their bloodlines.

Why does the arrival of the ancient gods make these creatures so hostile to outsiders?

"It's very simple. The purpose of the ancient god coming here is to devour the fifth-level polluted body to restore its own strength. For these creatures, although the ancient god is the top of their bloodline, the one they are truly loyal to is Twain Millie." After hearing what Teresa said, Lin Yi also figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

"That is to say... not only did the ancient gods fail to become their protectors, but they became their enemies?" There was a hint of disbelief in Daphne's voice.

"Yes."

"The arrival of the ancient gods has disrupted the balance of this area. Twain Millie's power has been completely destroyed, and these creatures are attacking us so crazily in order to protect their own territory or for revenge."

The facts were indeed as the three had guessed. A day ago, the ancient god descended and directly broke into the Land of Eternal Night and kidnapped Twain Millie.

Even though the suppression of the ancient god's bloodline made these giant beasts instinctively feel fear, they still chose to resist.

At the moment when the ancient god abducted Twain Millie, countless giant beasts emerged from the darkness and launched an attack on the ancient god.

Under the suppression of his bloodline, the ancient god killed most of the attacking beasts with just one move.

"So, we are now regarded as accomplices of the ancient gods." Daphne said helplessly.

"That's probably the case, but it also means that the Ancient God is nearby. We are not far from our goal."

After hearing what Theresa said, Daphne closed her eyes and sensed the location of the mark, and found that the mark was located in a castle not far from the group.

But unfortunately, the castle is now surrounded by densely packed giant beasts. These giant beasts are scared to death by the ancient gods, and they can only circle around the castle.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yi and the other two broke into the giant beasts' field of vision and naturally became the targets of their attacks.

"The spaceship's shield won't hold out for much longer!" Theresa stared at the energy shield value. The number that kept jumping and dropping was like the countdown of the Grim Reaper's scythe.

"Can you think of a way to attract the attention of these monsters?"

"Yes, this spaceship has a phantom function, but it consumes a lot of energy. Once this function is activated, the spaceship's shield may not last for more than a minute."

"Prepare the escape device. If you continue to stay on this spaceship, you will be besieged and killed by these giant beasts sooner or later." Lin Yi was a little helpless. As a human being, his biggest headache was fighting an air battle with such huge creatures. The disadvantage was too great.

Theresa gritted her teeth and used the last of the spacecraft's energy to activate the phantom device.

In an instant, several phantoms emitting golden light appeared out of thin air around the spaceship, and the light seemed particularly dazzling in the dark land of eternal night.

These phantoms are so lifelike, as if several real spaceships are moving at high speed in different directions at the same time.

This trick really worked. The giant beasts that were attacking frantically were instantly attracted and their attention was distracted.

Their originally orderly attack rhythm was disrupted and became even more chaotic, with a hint of confusion mixed in their roars.

Some of the giant beasts pounced towards the phantom, while others rushed in another direction, and some even collided with each other.

Just as the giant beasts were attracted by the phantom, Lin Yi, Theresa and Daphne quickly entered the escape device.

After the escape device was ejected, it fell rapidly toward the ground like a small meteor, with a tail flame, leaving bright tracks in the darkness, and disappeared from the sight of the giants in an instant.

"I hope these phantoms can last a little longer." Daphne looked at the phantoms flickering above her and prayed silently in her heart.

"Take care of ourselves first and prepare for landing." Theresa gripped the joystick of the escape device tightly, her eyes fixed on the dark ground below.

As they got closer to the ground, the three finally saw the horrifying scene below.

There are many strange rocks on the ground, like ferocious animal teeth, sticking out from the ground.

There was also some black liquid emitting a strange light, flowing on the ground in a winding manner as if it had life.

"Be careful with those liquids. I don't know if they are corrosive," Theresa warned.

Lin Yi controlled the escape device and avoided an area of ​​black liquid at the critical moment, successfully landing on a relatively flat rock.

Although the escape device made a loud noise when it fell to the ground, at this moment dozens of giant beasts in the sky were frantically besieging the spaceship they had just left. The noisy roars and collisions covered up the noise of the escape device falling to the ground.

After a few seconds, the shield on the outside of the spacecraft, which was emitting a light blue light, began to flicker violently, and the light flickered.

Under the gaze of the three people, the light of the shield gradually went out, like a candle flame swallowed by darkness.

As the shield disappeared, the entire spaceship was exposed defenselessly to these ferocious beasts.

When the giant beasts discovered that the spaceship's shield had disappeared, they were like sharks smelling blood. Several enraged beasts instantly pounced in front of the spaceship like hungry tigers.

In just a few seconds, the originally huge spaceship was broken into several pieces like a toy taken apart by a naughty child and fell from the sky.

After the falling spacecraft collided with the ground, there was a shocking explosion.

Dazzling flames shot up into the sky, and the huge roar shook the ground. The light instantly dispelled the darkness in the area like the sun.

Not long after, the darkness extinguished the brief light, and everything fell into the dead silence again.

Watching the spaceship being dismantled, falling, exploding, and then quickly swallowed by darkness, Theresa felt a deep sense of regret in her heart.

As if dissatisfied with these giant beasts being too noisy, in the gloomy castle in the distance, a huge bone spear took shape out of thin air in the sky. The spear was as black as ink, and the surface was covered with strange patterns, as if it was made up of countless bones.

The bone spear shot out suddenly at a speed so fast that it was difficult to catch, and instantly pierced through the body of a giant beast.

The giant beast let out a wail and began to struggle, trying to break free from the bone spear, but the power of the bone spear was far beyond its imagination.

A dim light appeared on the surface of the bone spear, and the giant beast's body began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The once strong muscles quickly shriveled up, and the breath of life quickly slipped away like sand in an hourglass.

Its bloodline power was continuously absorbed by the bone spear, and eventually turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Upon seeing this, the remaining giant beasts were frightened and scattered, flying back into the sky, not daring to approach the castle again.

Although they were angry, they instinctively chose to retreat in the face of absolute power.

Inside the castle, the ancient god Tyne Zakaria did not pay much attention to the situation outside.

"What a noise. If you weren't still useful, I would have wiped you out long ago."

During this period, these giant beasts would frequently go crazy and attack the castle, trying to rescue Tween Millie.

Although their attacks posed no threat to Tyne Zakaria, the frequent harassment still annoyed him.

If he had not considered that these giant beasts could still block external enemies, he would have taken action to eliminate them completely.

Tyne Zakaria turned around and his eyes fell on the cage hanging in the center of the ceiling.

In the cage, Twain Millie was sitting quietly with her legs folded.

Unlike other contaminated entities with distorted shapes, her appearance looks almost the same as that of a normal person.

She has a pretty face and a graceful figure, like a noble queen.

"Unfortunately, this world is still too small after all." There was a trace of regret in Tyne Zakaria's voice, "If I give you a little more time, maybe you can really break free from my restraints. Unfortunately, now you are just the nourishment for me to restore my strength." (End of this chapter)
