Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After the monster was destroyed by Veroni, the land around the entire Sonan City suddenly began to tremble violently.

In the originally deadly wilderness, countless rotten arms broke out of the ground, accompanied by creepy roars, and dense swarms of the living dead crawled out from the ground and surrounded the team in a blink of an eye.

"slim Shady."

Looking at the living dead in front of him, Su Xiao did not take action, but let Am lead the way.

This place is only one step away from the real Dead City, and he must conserve his strength to deal with greater threats that may exist in the city.

Am roared, and hot magma oozed out from its body, flowing around it like a living thing.

Those monsters that rushed forward without knowing how to live or die, turned into wisps of black smoke with shrill wails as soon as they came into contact with the boiling magma, and finally only charred ashes were left on the ground.

The old charlatan behind was stunned when he saw Am's performance. He did not feel any eternal power from Am. How did Am use this power?

However, the old charlatan knew what to ask and what not to ask. He tightened his robe, silently quickened his pace, and headed towards the dead city.

Di Ya's eyes were suddenly dyed with a terrifying blood color, as if blood was boiling in them.

An extremely aggressive energy burst out from her body, like a violent wave, expelling all the deadly forces that tried to erode her arms.

With a crisp sound of crystal collision, a scarlet spear gradually took shape in her hand.

This spear seemed to be carved from the purest ruby, and the body of the spear exuded an enchanting luster.

This is one of Di Ya's two core abilities, Valkyrie.

The moment the spear fully appeared, countless fine red scales seeped out from under her skin like living things and quickly covered her entire body.

The plates meshed with each other, making metallic clanging sounds, and in the blink of an eye they wrapped her in a set of gorgeous armor.

Although Di Ya rarely takes action herself, this does not mean that she is weak.

On the contrary, as the best among the violators, her combat proficiency is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, all the violators who have survived to this day are all all-round talents.

A black shadow suddenly attacked from behind Di Ya. She didn't even look back, but just turned her wrist slightly, and the blood-red spear drew a perfect arc.

Before the sneak attacking monsters could even let out a scream, they were neatly cut in half, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

Looking at the weapon in Di Ya's hand, Lin Yi inexplicably thought of Yan Chen, whom he met in the second-level war world before.

The professional characteristics of the two are indeed surprisingly similar, and both use summoning spears as their core fighting method.

But upon closer inspection, they are completely different: Di Ya's abilities are full of blood and violence, and every attack carries the nature of draining life; while Yan Chen is like a walking flame, his gun shoots out like a dragon, scorching hot and unbearable.

As the last monster fell to the ground, a pool of turbid gray blood flowed up along Di Ya's bloody spear like a living thing.

Black threads could be vaguely seen wriggling in the sticky liquid, which gave off an unpleasant smell of decay.

Di Ya shook the spear in disgust, and the gray blood immediately slid down the spear.

The pollution of the Dead City has penetrated deep into the bones of these monsters, and the vitality in their bodies has long been completely eroded by the power of death.

Di Ya knew very well that if he rashly absorbed these polluted life forces, he would soon become a part of this cursed city and become another walking corpse wandering the streets.

"Trouble, the monsters here are simply my natural enemies." Di Ya put away his spear and returned to the team, and saw Su Xiao take a step forward with his long sword unsheathed. In an instant, a dazzling sword light cut through the dim space like a silver moon and ran across the front of everyone.

"Shh-!"

Wherever the knife light passed, the air seemed to be split in two. The monsters within dozens of meters in front didn't even have time to wail before they were cut in two by this fierce blow, and their remains fell to the ground with a bang.

Seeing this scene, Di Ya took a breath of cold air. She was not a person who didn't know what was good. Although Su Xiao's knife move seemed to be understated, it actually contained extremely high technical attainments - the knife was sharp, and he could retract it freely without any unnecessary movements.

With this move alone, Su Xiao's core technique has at least reached the grandmaster level.

Although Di Ya's core skills have now reached the master level, which is only two levels away from the full level, the master level is still the master level, and there is a qualitative gap between it and the grandmaster level.

If she were to fight head-on with just her skills, she estimated that she would be defeated by Su Xiao within three moves.

However, Di Ya does not only rely on technical skills.

She has also cultivated other abilities over the years. If she tries her best, she won't be able to defeat Su Xiao, but at least she can protect herself from his attack.

Seeing that there were more and more monsters around, Lin Yi turned on the halo and covered everyone.

After all, the entire team has less than 10 people in total, and the consumption of maintaining the aura is not as fast as Lin Yi's automatic recovery.

"What is this? A halo?"

Di Ya felt the change in the power in his body and was stunned.

She subconsciously gripped her spear tightly, turned her gaze towards the group of monsters surging on the right, and swept out without hesitation -

"boom--!"

The moment the gun tip cut through the air, a blood-colored force suddenly burst out, tearing through the space like a waning moon and slashing fiercely into the group of monsters.

The monsters that were swept away were torn into pieces by the violent force and turned into blood mist all over the sky.

The power...is at least several times higher than before!
"The increase is so strong?!" Di Ya's pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart was filled with shock.

She had never experienced such a terrifying aura bonus—not only the attack power, but also her speed, strength, and even the speed at which energy flowed in her body were rising crazily.

"Don't be dazed, keep moving forward." Su Xiao's voice came coldly, and he swung the long sword in his hand again. The silver-white sword light poured down like a waterfall, cutting a bloody path in the tide of monsters.

"Okay." Di Ya came back to his senses quickly, his figure flashed, and he protected Lin Yi behind him.

What a joke! This level of auxiliary ability is the first time she has encountered it in her life!
The so-called "top assistants" he had worked with in the past could not even achieve half of Lin Yi's amplification effect, not to mention his incredible recovery ability.

She had seen with her own eyes that even if Dai La had his heart removed, Lin Yi was able to pull him back from the brink of death in just a few seconds.

How can we not give special protection to such a "big wet nurse"?
In this way, Su Xiao and Am were like two sharp knives, clearing the obstacles ahead for everyone, while Bubu Wang was scouting the enemy situation in front.

The old charlatan was responsible for defending the left side, while the right side was handed over to Di Ya.

Veroni in the back was responsible for dealing with the fish that slipped through the net, and everyone unanimously protected Lin Yi in the center of the team.

As the team went deeper, more and more corpses crawled out from the rotten soil, and gray-black figures swarmed in densely. From a distance, the whole team seemed to be surrounded by a wave of deathly silence, which was so depressing that it was suffocating.

"Tsk, why can't we kill all these ghost creatures?" Di Ya snorted coldly, swept his spear across, and a fierce gust of wind swept out, instantly knocking several monsters away.

With Lin Yi's amplification, each of her attacks contained a devastating force that ordinary corpses could not withstand.

"We can't help it. Back then, the king led the army here to stop the erosion of Death Silence. There were hundreds of thousands of troops under our feet. If we want to enter the Death Silence City, we must step over their corpses."

The old charlatan looked at the corpses around him, a trace of sadness in his eyes.

These were once the elite forces of the empire. It can be said that the reason why the empire has declined so badly in recent years is because the Black Armor Legion was annihilated here.

The sharp sound of a knife suddenly broke the silence, and Su Xiao's figure flashed before everyone's eyes.

The knife light was so dazzling that the surrounding air seemed to be sucked out in an instant, falling into a brief darkness.

Hundreds of dried monsters froze in place at the same time. The next second, their bodies slid down neatly and shattered into countless pieces.

Boom!

The surrounding broken walls and ruins were suddenly covered with dense cut marks, as if they had suffered hundreds of cuts in an instant.

With Lin Yi's powerful support, Su Xiao's sword had gone beyond common sense. Not only did it kill all the zombies that were swarming in, but even the surrounding building ruins were torn into pieces by the aftermath.

Veronie unconsciously took a half step back, her eyes twitching slightly.

In her opinion, even the ancient gods praised by bards were probably no more than this.

"How long will it take?"

Su Xiao kicked away the pile of monster debris at his feet. Those dry bodies were like weathered ancient trees, with very strong defense. Ordinary weapons could only leave a shallow white mark on them.

"It will be quick. Five minutes at most. Including this blockade, we have opened seven sides. It will be enough soon."

The old charlatan waved the metal book in his hand, and the withered monsters under his control fell to the ground.

"Is this the Dead Silence City? It doesn't look that great."

Veronica looked around and subconsciously touched her hungry stomach.

Although there were dangers everywhere, it was far from the horror she had imagined.

You know, in those ancient legends, ordinary people would go crazy and die just by getting close to the Dead City.

"This is Sonan, just the entrance to the Dead City. Once you enter the Dead City, you will miss this 'relaxed' time like now."

The old charlatan placed his hand on the stone wall in front of him, and the formation diagram on it was gradually activated.

"easy……"

Veroni almost choked on her own saliva. She looked down at the several bleeding wounds on her body, and glanced at the piles of monster corpses around her. She really couldn't associate the situation in front of her with the word "relaxed".

Crack, crack, crack...the teeth-grinding sound of breaking was particularly harsh in the dead silence.

The mottled stone wall in front of the old charlatan was suddenly covered with spider-web-like cracks and collapsed in an instant.

What was strange was that the collapsed rocks did not make any sound when they fell to the ground, as if the sound was swallowed up by some force.

The scattered rubble suddenly floated up against common sense, as if controlled by invisible hands, and reassembled in front of the old charlatan, eventually condensing into a strange stone door about four meters high.

There is a sun pattern above the stone gate, a moon pattern below it, and in the center is a naked woman with her arms around her chest, tears about to fall from her eyes.

"Light, darkness, and dead silence..."

The old charlatan took a deep breath and pressed the metal book in his hand against the stone door.

A black rust gradually appeared on the stone gate. Seeing this, the old charlatan quickly pulled the metal book off the stone gate and quickly stepped back.

Rumble…

With a dull roar, the stone door began to slowly open.

A grayish-white substance like fluff floated out from the crack in the door. Its texture was like ashes of burnt paper, or pieces of parchment that had been soaked in water and then dried. It floated silently in the dead air.

"Shelter Stone, quick!"

The old charlatan threw the Protection Stone directly into his mouth, while Su Xiao stuffed the Protection Stone into the slot of the metal arm guard. Bubuwang and Am also quickly put the Protection Stone in direct contact with their bodies.

Di Ya made a necklace out of the Stone of Protection and wore it around her neck. Veronie also imitated the old charlatan and threw the Stone of Protection into her mouth. However...

"Ugh~ Gurgle~"

As soon as she took the Stone of Protection, an indescribable smell of decay exploded in her mouth.

It felt like swallowing a piece of iron that had been soaked in a tomb for thousands of years, mixed with the smell of rust and rotten plants.

She instinctively wanted to spit it out, but in her panic she accidentally swallowed it, and her face immediately turned blue.

"Aren't you going to use it?"

Veronica suddenly noticed that everyone had taken protective measures, except Lin Yi, who was still standing there quietly without even moving a finger.

"It's okay, I don't need this thing."

After saying that, wisps of black mist slowly rose from around him.

When the deadly power of the Dead City surged, the black fog was like a hungry beast, swallowing up all the invading power.

Although the power of dead silence is terrifying, it is still far inferior to the T0 level power such as the power of the abyss.

"monster."

Veroni stared at the black mist surrounding Lin Yi, her lips moved a few times, and finally she could only squeeze out this dry comment.

She suddenly felt that compared to those resurrected corpses, the man in front of her who could easily devour the power of death was more creepy.

"Okay, everyone, come in." The old charlatan's face was covered with cold sweat, and he did not hide his fear.
Just as everyone was hesitating, a biting cold wind whistled out from the door.

Su Xiao squinted his eyes and looked inside the stone gate. He saw a room shrouded in gray and white. Ceramic bottles and bowls were placed on the simple wooden furniture, and the ground was an unnatural dark black.

The strange thing is that this cold wind is not caused by the low temperature, but it makes people feel cold to the bone.

His intuition also continued to warn, with the highest intensity.

chug chu...

Bubuwang's teeth were chattering uncontrollably, and all his fluffy hair stood up.

"Can I, can I, can I get my money back?"

Veronie's voice was trembling almost tunelessly, and her legs were swinging uncontrollably.

Just by looking at the stone door leading to the dead city, her senses were sending out crazy alarms, as if countless ice needles were piercing every inch of her skin.

Di Ya's situation was not much better. At this moment, her whole body was completely covered by thick armor plates, and the sound of metal collision exposed the fact that she was also trembling.

"Let's go."

Lin Yi simply moved his wrist, and after confirming that the black mist around him could completely isolate him from the erosion of the power of death, he stepped in without hesitation.

Seeing this, Su Xiao winked at Bubuwang and A'mu, and followed them through the stone gate.

"No, you... don't you feel scared?"

Veronie's voice was filled with tears. She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. The horror of the Dead City was far beyond all the legends.

Just the aura escaping from the outside made her hair stand on end, and every pore was sending out a sharp warning - this kind of place is not prepared for living people!

"Be quiet. If you make any more noise, you might attract the residents of the Dead Silence City."

Lin Yi's voice was very soft, but it was like a basin of ice water poured on everyone's heads.

Veronie immediately covered her mouth tightly and held her breath.

Bubu Wang was even more exaggerated. He took out a metal brace from somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth. Now even the sound of his teeth chattering was completely blocked out.

And the moment Lin Yi entered the Dead Silence City, the sound of the Samsara Paradise also appeared in their ears.

[Warning: The hunter has entered the ultra-high area, Dead City! ]

[Because your hunter rank is lower than level 20, all your gains in the Dead City will be increased by an additional %. ]

As soon as Lin Yi stepped one foot into the stone gate, he felt a strange feeling. It felt like there were many invisible tentacles on both sides of the stone gate. As he moved forward, he used his body to squeeze through these invisible tentacles and entered the gate.

The moment you step into the Dead Silence City, the gray fog around you suddenly boils.

These materialized forces of death and silence rushed towards Lin Yi frantically like sharks smelling blood.

When they came into contact with the black mist on Lin Yi's body, they were like drops of water falling into an ink pool, and were instantly swallowed up by the power of the abyss.

What was even more surprising was that Lin Yi could clearly feel that the power of the abyss in his body had become slightly more solid.

Looking back, I saw that a translucent barrier had appeared in the center of the stone gate at some point, completely isolating the scenes inside and outside.

At this moment, Di Ya and the old charlatan staggered in, holding Veronica on the left and right.

Veronica struggled desperately, trying to break free from the two men's restraints, but her strength was too small and she was no match for them.

But remembering Lin Yi's previous warning, she even became cautious in her struggles, and could only let out a few suppressed whimpers from between her fingers, like a cat being grabbed by the scruff of the neck.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you must return within two days. Otherwise, the barrier will close again, and then we will all become part of this dead city."

The old charlatan rubbed his temple gently with one hand, and his eyes were inadvertently a little confused.

Just as everyone was about to push open the wooden door of the house, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook slightly.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The tremors grew stronger, and pottery throughout the room began to make tiny clanging sounds.

Su Xiao immediately raised his index finger and put it to his lips, and everyone tensed up instantly.

Lin Yi slowly moved to the dirt-covered glass window. The gray-brown stains made his vision blurry, and he could only barely see things at the edge of the window frame.

Through the edge of the glass window, I saw a huge creature slowly walking towards me from a distance.

It was a humanoid monster over seven meters tall, with rough black-gray skin covered with cracks, like a dry riverbed.

Its chest was inlaid with densely packed black rusty armor plates, which made a teeth-grinding friction sound as it walked.

The monster's head has no facial features, just like a bulging gray pustule, with only a row of pores of varying sizes at the mouth.

The most eye-catching thing is the monster's right arm. This seven-meter-tall creature has a right arm that is so long that it almost reaches the ground. The entire arm is covered with barbs that look like tree roots, and the diameter of the entire arm is at least three meters.

[Comparing the intelligence attributes of both parties...Comparison completed, our intelligence attribute is 10.9 times that of the enemy, and 100% of the enemy's information has been obtained. ]

……

Seeing the data of this monster, Lin Yi frowned.

He looked at the old charlatan, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he raised his hand and pointed at the hideous monster outside, indicating that this thing had been weakened? (End of this chapter)
