Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Lin Yi threw the [Dark Star Ancient Core] into the air with his backhand. Xiaoxue was like a deep-sea octopus that smelled blood. The tip of its tentacles opened into a spiral mouthpart and engulfed the crystal core into a vortex of sticky body fluids.

“Crack—”

A teeth-grinding sound of crystals shattering exploded in the abdominal cavity, and Xiaoxue's entire tentacle suddenly bent into a strange C shape.

The dark red biological tissue began to secrete milky white colloid, which boiled and hardened the moment it came into contact with the air, just like living ceramics that were instantly shaped in high temperatures. The surface of the blood-colored vines glowed with a cold light like mother-of-pearl.

Lin Yi tapped the surface of the tentacles with his fingers and found that the white substance was exactly the same as the white bone armor on the outside of Tyne Zakaria's body.

Xiaoxue shook its tentacles excitedly, as if showing its joy to Lin Yi.

After absorbing the [Dark Star Ancient Core], it finally entered the growth stage. The white bone armor covering its tentacles was a sign of its growth.

As an ancient god, this white exoskeleton armor is almost standard.

Lin Yi originally thought that Xiaoxue’s situation was special so he didn’t have this kind of armor. Now it seems that Xiaoxue just hasn’t grown to the corresponding stage yet.

Xiaoxue moved his tentacles and found that the white bone armor did not hinder its flexibility.

The bone armor covers the surface of the tentacles like snake scales, providing powerful defense without affecting its movement at all.

Xiaoxue conveyed a message to Lin Yi through the mental link: it felt that these bone armors were only part of its growth, and it seemed that there were more abilities that had not yet awakened.

It will take time to explore and study what it is specifically.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry about this. The growth of the ancient god system was long and difficult, and the resources consumed were astronomical.

It is already very good that Xiaoxue has made the current progress.

After confirming that Xiaoxue's condition was stable, Lin Yi took out the last legendary treasure chest from the storage space.

[You opened a legendary treasure chest. ]

[You obtain the 'Enchanting Crown' (Legendary). ]

[You get soul crystal (large) × 2. 】

Introduction: Forged from the blood and sweat of the Queen of Pollution, it carries a mysterious power that bewitches people.

Price: 270000 Paradise Coins.

Lin Yi picked up the [Bewitching Crown] that had fallen on the bed. This crown was very small and looked like a headdress. It was not eye-catching even when worn on the head.

For those female contractors who focus on logistics and work hard to develop their charm attributes, this is undoubtedly a treasure.

Its equipment effects 1 and 2 are a godsend in the early stages of the world's development.

Especially for the charm-type contractors in the adventure team, this kind of equipment is an absolute necessity.

After opening the legendary treasure chest, the next thing to look for are some of the most important items.

Lin Yi took out the remaining epic treasure chests and arranged them in order from the smallest to the largest in terms of gold content.

After a quick glance, Lin Yi chose to open the four epic treasure chests with the lowest gold content at once.

[You opened 4 epic treasure chests. ]

[You obtain Soul Crystal (Complete) x 4. ]

[You obtain the SS-level adventure team formation certificate (special item). ]

[You obtain the 'Ancient God Embryo' (complete) (epic item). ]

Rating: 651
Introduction: The Church of the Lord of Pollution imitates the artificial creatures created by the ancient gods. Although they are only imitations, they are lucky enough to possess a trace of the original power of the ancient gods.

Following a series of prompt sounds, a flesh ball tightly wrapped in a white film appeared out of thin air on Lin Yi's bed.

As soon as the meat ball landed on the ground, it stretched out several twisted tentacles like a wild beast that smelled blood. It frantically explored the surroundings, as if looking for nutrients to devour.

Soon, one of the tentacles touched Lin Yi's body, but this was Lin Yi's exclusive room, and the rules of the Samsara Paradise were supreme here.

Unless the paradise allows it, no one can harm Lin Yi here.

At the moment the tentacle touched, a dazzling electric current flashed across Lin Yi's body, instantly burning the tentacle into charcoal, and a burnt smell filled the air.

As if sensing the tempting scent, the little blood that was originally curled up on Lin Yi's wrist to digest the food in its stomach suddenly came out.

The scarlet tentacles trembled slightly, and they looked around, finally locking onto the [Ancient God Embryo] on the bed.

"Why? You want it?"

Xiaoxue's tentacles swayed slightly, as if nodding, clearly expressing his desire for the [Ancient God Embryo].

Lin Yi naturally would not object to this. The [Ancient God Embryo] on the bed seemed to sense the danger. The flesh ball wrapped in white film suddenly made a shrill sound, as creepy as a live frog heated in a microwave.

Its tentacles stabbed at Xiaoxue, trying to fight back, but Xiaoxue didn't care.

In this exclusive room, as long as Lin Yi does not open the authority, Xiaoxue is invincible.

As soon as the tentacles touched Xiaoxue, they shattered instantly like fragile glass.

Xiaoxue stretched out his tentacles and swallowed the [Ancient God Embryo] whole into his stomach.

After swallowing the [Ancient God Embryo], Xiaoxue burped comfortably and then conveyed a message to Lin Yi - it needed to hibernate for a while.

Today, it swallowed too many things at once, causing it to have excess power, and it had to enter a state similar to hibernation to digest the energy. In this state, Xiaoxue's original power will increase rapidly.

After Xiaoxue fell into a deep sleep, Lin Yi did not hesitate to roll up the sheets and mattress on the bed that were stained with the mucus of [Ancient God Embryo] and threw them into the trash can like throwing away garbage.

Lin Yi didn't want to have to sleep in the same bed with these disgusting residues at night. The thought of that made him feel sick.

After finishing the cleanup, Lin Yi's eyes fell on the remaining items.

[Lies of a Thousand Maws] and [Fetal Movements of the Void Nest], these two items are undoubtedly equipment and skills of the ancient gods.

However, when faced with the equipment [Thousand Throats of Lies], Lin Yi found it difficult to judge its value.

"Lies Come True" - This equipment effect belongs to the special attack attribute. For certain specific contractors, it is a priceless treasure.

But for most of the contractors, this thing is like chicken ribs. It can neither increase spell damage nor reduce spell cooldown time.

As a staff, the equipment effect of [A Thousand Maws of Lies] is obviously difficult to meet the conventional qualification standards.

However, the skills of the ancient gods have always been known to be mysterious and unpredictable. Perhaps this seemingly useless equipment can be sold at a high price in the trading market.

As for the [SS-level Adventure Team Formation Certificate], this is undoubtedly the most valuable item Lin Yi unpacked this time.

Under normal circumstances, the highest initial level for establishing an adventure group is only S level. To reach this level, you need to enter the world and complete a series of adventure group tasks.

Therefore, in the Samsara Paradise, SS-level and SSS-level adventure groups are extremely rare, and most of them rely on special props to be promoted.

However, the certificate in Lin Yi's hand can not only directly establish an adventure group, but also directly upgrade the level of the adventure group to SS level based on its establishment.

The only price is that all skill levels of the adventure group will be reset to zero, but the levels and warehouses of the adventure group can be completely inherited.

For most adventuring groups, this cost is almost negligible.

Once promoted to an SS-level adventure group, the first thing the adventure group leaders have to do is to acquire new skills.

Lin Yi carefully put away the [SS-level Adventure Team Formation Certificate]. The value of this thing is self-evident.

Even high-level contractors would flock to this kind of item.

Therefore, Lin Yi was not worried about the issue of taking action at all.

As for [Lies of a Thousand Throats] and [Fetal Movements of the Void Nest], Lin Yi decided to temporarily put them into the storage space.

Although these two pieces of equipment and skills are powerful, they are obviously more suitable for contractors of the ancient gods.

Although Lin Yi has an ancient god servant like Xiaoxue, it is not a contractor of the ancient god system. Forcibly using these equipment and skills may bring unpredictable consequences.

Now, Lin Yi still has 3 epic treasure chests left in his hands, all of which are treasure chests with relatively high gold content.

He first opened the epic treasure chest dropped by Mike to see if he could get some good things from it.

[You opened an epic treasure chest. ]

[You obtain the 'Core of the Void' (epic material).]

[You obtain Soul Crystal (Complete) x 5. ]

[Core of the Void]

Origin: Void

Quality: Epic
Type: Material

Effect: Can be used for forging, strengthening, synthesis, etc. It has extremely high spell affinity and can greatly improve the energy flow of equipment.

Rating: 687
Introduction: A byproduct of planetary destruction, it is also a rare material in the void.

Although this epic treasure chest did not reveal any equipment or skills, the value of 5 soul crystals (complete) is in no way inferior to that of an epic equipment.

For a contractor like him who has many core skills, soul crystal (complete) is the most scarce resource and is far more meaningful than an unused equipment.

Next, Lin Yi’s eyes fell on the epic treasure chest dropped by Bellamy.

The gold content of this treasure chest is second only to the treasure chest dropped by the ancient gods, which makes him look forward to it.

[You opened an epic treasure chest. ]

[You obtain 'Grasp of the End' (epic equipment). ]

【Grasp of the End】

Origin: Red Sky Continent

Quality: Epic
Category: Boxing Gloves

Durability: 100/100
Attack power: 188~265
Equipment requirements: 80 points of true strength, 95 points of real body strength.

Equipment Effect 2: Guardian of the End (Passive): All damage received is reduced by 25%, and "Guardian of the End" is triggered when fatal damage is received, making you immune to this damage and restoring 20% ​​of your maximum health. The cooldown time is 120 hours.

Equipment Effect 3: Fist of the End (Active): When the damage received reaches a certain limit, it can cause physical damage of 600% of the attack power to the enemies in the straight line range in front of it and knock back the target.

If the target is in the area, an additional attack effect is added, reducing the target's maximum health by 2% for 10 seconds.

Rating: 699 points.

Introduction: Grip of the End, control the domain, protect yourself, and end the enemy. Wherever the fist reaches, everything is silent.

Lin Yi looked at the equipment carefully. Although it was not suitable for his own use, it was undoubtedly a top-grade equipment for those contractors who took the tank route.

Especially the effect of "Fist of the End", which can not only deal high damage at critical moments, but also reduce the enemy's maximum health. It is simply a powerful weapon in team battles.

This piece of equipment can definitely be sold at a high price in the market. For the main tanks of large adventure groups, this kind of equipment is hard to come by.

The three equipment effects, whether it is damage reduction, life-saving or output, perfectly meet the needs of the main tank.

Finally, Lin Yi turned his attention to the epic treasure chest dropped by the ancient god, which was the biggest gain of his trip.

[You opened an epic treasure chest. ]

[You obtain 'God's Bone' (epic item)]

[You obtain 'Whisper of the Ancient Gods' (epic skill scroll).]

【Whisper of the Ancient God】

Origin: Void

【God’s Bone】

Type: Synthetic props
Effect: After collecting three pieces of the same quality God's Bones, you can synthesize the same grade item "God's Miracle"

Miracle of the Gods (Epic Level) Effect: Any legendary quality equipment can be upgraded to epic level.

Rating: 650
Description: Miracles are happening right before your eyes.

Selling price: 190000 Paradise Coins
……

Lin Yi's gaze moved between [Divine Bones] and [Whispers of the Ancient Gods].

The former is a synthetic item that can upgrade legendary equipment to epic level. This upgrade is a qualitative leap for any equipment.

However, it is not easy to collect three divine bones of the same quality.

You have to know that Lin Yi got an epic divine bone only after killing the ancient god, which means that if he wants to get more divine bones, he must kill gods.

The difficulty of killing a god is no less than completing a difficult world mission.

As for [Whisper of the Ancient Gods], the effect of this skill scroll is equally powerful, especially the combination of "Whisper Erosion" and "Mark of the Ancient Gods", which can create chaos in battle and greatly increase the damage of the Ancient Gods.

But Lin Yi is not an ancient god professional, and forcibly learning this skill may bring unpredictable risks.

What's more, learning this skill requires completing a sacrificial ritual, which is often accompanied by a very high price. God knows what it will attract. (End of this chapter)
