Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Di Ya and Veronica, who were following behind Su Xiao, saw that there was no sign of a fight between the two, so they dared to move closer.

Their eyes fell on Ataya beside Lin Yi, their eyes full of confusion - why would this originally murderous BOSS suddenly give up the hunt?

When she first stepped into the Dead Silence City, Ataya's murderous intent was no disguise.

"Why don't you go back and add some charisma? Anyway, your charisma is probably not a real attribute. Why not buy some low-level potions to add some attribute points?"

Lin Yi glanced at Ataya, then at Su Xiao, and finally uttered only these words.

There was no way. Su Xiao's aura was too terrifying now. He exuded a suffocating sense of oppression - strong blood energy wrapped around his body, and the edge honed by practicing swordsmanship was unrestrained, like a sharp blade out of its sheath.

Ordinary people's legs would tremble uncontrollably just by getting close to him, not to mention those creatures with keen perception.

If Lin Yi's style is to hide his edge in his sheath, introverted and steady, then Su Xiao is unabashedly aggressive and never hides his fighting spirit.

For him, it was either fight or retreat, without any hesitation.

"talk later."

Su Xiao glanced at the lonely 1 point of charm value on his attribute panel, and finally rejected Lin Yi's proposal.

It's not that he doesn't want to save his terrible charm value, but he has tried it a long time ago - and it's of no use.

When Su Xiao gained attribute points in the arena before, he added all the points to the charm value.

The result? Those attribute points were like a leaky bucket, dropping a little every few seconds, and eventually returned to this despairing number.

The problem lies in his blood and energy abilities. Charm value essentially reflects a person's temperament and affinity, and has little to do with appearance - even if he is an ugly fat man, as long as his affinity is strong enough, his charm value can still crush everyone else.

Su Xiao’s most important situation now is that the strong blood energy has completely penetrated into every inch of his breath, even the soul level has been eroded.

In the perception of Ataya and Veronica, every time he moved, a trace of blood and energy would unconsciously escape from his body.

It's like taking a leisurely walk in the zoo and suddenly a Siberian tiger jumps out from beside you.

Regardless of whether the beast is here to hunt for food or just to hang out, the first reaction of ordinary tourists is definitely to treat it as a major enemy - this is an instinctive reaction engraved in the genes that no one can avoid.

No wonder Ataya was so wary of Su Xiao.

After the reunion, Bubuwang explored the way ahead, while Lin Yi led Ataya to the front.

Su Xiao was in the middle, while Di Ya and Veroni were responsible for covering the rear.

The main reason is that Ataya is not very friendly to anyone except Lin Yi, who she is a little closer to.

If other people looked at Bubuwang with love as if they wanted to rub it, then Ataya's eyes were clearly as if she was looking at a delicious delicacy that could move.

This naked appetite even frightened the usually brave Bubu Wang, and he always kept a safe distance from Attaya.

About ten minutes later, the team finally arrived at the core area of ​​​​Dead City.

A five-meter-wide artificial river stretched before everyone like a natural moat. Turbid stagnant water flowed slowly between the stone banks, and the water surface glowed with a strange dark green luster.

This moat completely separates the central area from the periphery, and the towering buildings on the opposite bank are looming in the gray fog.

The most horrifying thing was that there were densely packed figures neatly arranged on the opposite side of the river bank - they were hundreds of tree erosions.

They stand in front of the building like sculptures, their rotten bark trunks swaying slightly in the cold wind.

Just within Lin Yi's sight, there were hundreds of such monsters gathered.

"What a scene..." Di Ya swallowed unconsciously.

The defense line formed by hundreds of tree erosions is like a living, breathing city wall.

Everyone knows what the consequences will be if one rashly crosses the river - the intruder will be greeted with "warm hospitality" by the entire Dead City residents.

A single Tree Corruption is indeed not something to be feared, but when they form a large scale, even a BOSS creature like Attaya will not easily provoke them.

After waiting for about five minutes, Bubu Wang, who was gathering intelligence, returned.

"Woof~"

Bubuwang let out a low cry. According to its observation, it was impossible for everyone to sneak into the central area of ​​Dead Silence City. The artificial river was in a circular shape, surrounding the core area of ​​Dead Silence City.

What's even more terrifying is that the river bank is densely packed with Tree Erosion Guards, and Bubu Wang conservatively estimates that there are at least thousands of them.

Bubuwangwang also discovered more powerful figures of Dead Silence City residents among the tree erosion group. Those figures exuding a dangerous aura made the hair on its back stand up.

"If you can't sneak in, then force your way in."

"Wang?"

Bubuwang looked at Su Xiao in confusion, which meant: "Master, we have to stay calm. If we force our way in, we will be beaten into a cake by the tree."

It’s not that Bubu Wang wants to boost others’ morale and destroy his own prestige, but if he forces his way in, someone might actually die.

At this time, an apple-sized, light red gelatinous substance appeared in Su Xiao's hand.

Seeing Apollo in Su Xiao's hand, Lin Yi suddenly understood Su Xiao's thoughts.

As for Di Ya and Attaya, they took two steps back the moment Su Xiao took out Apollo. This thing gave them a huge sense of threat.

"Uh~ what are you doing..."

Veronica was keenly aware of the sudden change in atmosphere and rubbed her arms nervously.

"I have something for you to do that's not dangerous." Su Xiao's tone was frighteningly calm.

"I, I am weak, I will definitely not be able to do it well! Yes, that's it!"

Veronica shook her head desperately. Although she didn't know what to do specifically, her intuition told her that it was definitely not a good thing.

ten minutes later--

On the top of an abandoned building more than 30 meters high, Veronica, who was forcibly sent by Di Ya using the Valkyrie incarnation, was in tears.

A corrupted vulture landed on the railing beside her, looked at her with its cloudy eyes for a moment, and when it found that it was not the corpse it was expecting, it flapped its wings in disappointment and flew away.

The cold wind blew her messy hair, and under her feet was a dense army of tree erosion.

"You can do it Veronie, absolutely no problem."

Veronie took a deep breath and clenched her hands into fists.

"what--!!!"

A shrill scream pierced the sky of the silent city.

This cry filled with fear and grievance was particularly harsh in the silent environment, and the sound waves continued to echo among the ruins.

Almost at the same time, a rumbling sound was heard in the distance and the ground began to shake slightly.

Veroni, who was standing on the roof, quickly jumped down and rushed into a wooden house with the guidance of Bubuwang.

In the dim room, a man whose half face had weathered into bones slowly raised his head.

His only remaining eye glanced at the intruder indifferently, and then he lowered his head again - this was an extremely skilled cultivator, a rare neutral resident in the Deadly City.

It's just that this guy looked poor and obviously had no desire to communicate.

The atmosphere in the wooden house instantly dropped to freezing point. Lin Yi acted promptly and took out ten bottles of treasured wine from his personal space and placed them neatly in front of Ji Xiu.

The wine bottles collided with each other, making crisp sounds, and the rich aroma of wine filled the small space.

Ji Xiu remained silent, but the vague hostility in the room had dissipated.

He stretched out his skinny fingers and lightly tapped the bottle. This action meant that the deal was done - the team gained temporary asylum.

Veronica then breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down in the corner, recalling the thrilling experience just now. Her fingers were still trembling slightly.

After the shouting ended, several strange figures quietly appeared on the top of the tall building where Veroni had previously stood.

Some of them still barely retain their human-like outlines, while others have completely turned into bark, and the rotten branches make a teeth-grinding friction sound in the wind.

At the same time, two kilometers away from the artificial river, Su Xiao activated the Apollo in his hand. The feeling of terror and crisis spread. The residents of the Dead City were not completely foolish. Some of them were very smart. With the activation speed of Apollo, if they wanted to blow up the trees by the river, they could only activate it remotely and then send it over.

The activation of Apollo did not attract the attention of the residents of Dead City.

Because Veroni's shout just now has attracted the residents of Dead City in this area. With such a good effect, Veroni obviously used all her strength.

As time went on, the aura of destruction emanating from Apollo grew stronger.

Di Ya, who was standing aside, tensed his body unconsciously, a trace of fear flashed across his face.

According to her understanding, the hunters are a group of lunatics.

If she had not chosen to cooperate with Su Xiao and others, what would have been waiting for her would probably have been an endless hunt by this pair of partners.

Even if she could kill Su Xiao by chance, the other party would definitely detonate Apollo before dying and die together with her.

In either case, she would die.

Thinking of this, Di Ya's original resentment towards the unequal treaty also disappeared - after all, compared with her life, what was the value of selling out the interests of a world? She even secretly felt lucky that at least she was now on the same side as these lunatics.

斯～
Wisps of green smoke rose from Su Xiao's palm. Even though he wrapped his right hand tightly with a layer of crystal, the astonishingly high temperature emitted by Apollo still burned his skin.

When the countdown was only ten seconds, Su Xiao threw Apollo to Di Ya.

Then the Valkyrie incarnation appeared above Di Ya and caught Apollo. Di Ya's Valkyrie incarnation is a bit similar to the Stand in JOJO, except that the Stand's combat range and controllability have been greatly increased.

The only drawback is that once the Valkyrie incarnation suffers particularly serious damage, the original body will also suffer backlash.

Under Di Ya's control, the Valkyrie turned into a golden stream of light and rushed towards the moat.

The spirit glided lightly across the turbid water and reached the other side within five seconds.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Valkyrie swung her arm and threw Apollo hard towards the dense group of tree erosions below.

boom!
Apollo tore through the air with a deafening sonic boom, and fell to the ground, dragging a dazzling golden tail flame.

The Valkyrie, having completed her mission, instantly dissipated to avoid being affected by the impending explosion.

The team members had no time to appreciate the explosion. They turned around and rushed towards the direction where Bubuwang and Veronica were at the fastest speed.

They had to cross the buildings and avoid the dangerous area before the shock wave of the explosion spread. Everyone knew that the loud noise detonated by Apollo would be like a beacon in the darkness, attracting the residents of the entire Dead City to flock there, and that area would soon become a forbidden zone of death.

The team was moving quickly through the narrow alleys when suddenly a deafening explosion was heard behind them.

Su Xiao looked back and saw half of a dazzling golden fireball expanding in the distance. The dazzling light dyed the sky of the Dead City golden.

The range of Apollo's explosion increased rapidly. Within the solar flame, the residents of Dead City such as Shu Shi were wailing and turned into ashes.

Just as the explosion range of Apollo spread to 1500 meters, a woman with long white hair and wearing a black robe fell from the sky.

The surrounding air twisted rapidly, and the spreading solar flame stopped for a moment.

Boom!
The second wave of explosion blew the white-haired woman away.

Although the fire continued to spread, its speed slowed down significantly, and finally stagnated within a range of about 1700 meters, and the golden flames began to slowly dissipate.

At this moment, the entire Dead City was boiling. The explosion of Apollo was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Countless deformed and horrible residents poured out of the buildings and gathered towards the center of the explosion like a tide.

In the temporary hiding room, Ataya's hair spread like a living thing, completely blocking the gaps in the doors and windows.

Bubu Wang was peeking through the window and was so scared that his ears stuck to his head - it was like a monster expo was being held outside the window!
Except for a few neutral people like Ji Xiu in the house, almost all the residents of Dead Silence City fell into madness. They roared, crawled, jumped, and rushed to the explosion site from all directions.

The dense footsteps and strange howling made the floor of the wooden house tremble slightly.

"Woof~"

After confirming it was safe, Bubuwang's barking was heard from the roof. Without saying a word, several people rushed out of the room and ran towards the artificial river.

In the distance, the solar flames produced by the Apollo explosion were still swirling in the air, dyeing the gray sky an eerie golden color.

The earth-shaking explosion successfully lured away the army of tree-eroding insects stationed on the river bank, but the price of luring the tiger away from the mountain was that more than half of the residents of the entire Dead City were awakened.

Su Xiao quickly glanced around and after confirming that there was no threat for the time being, the team seized this opportunity and quickly crossed the artificial river.

Lin Yi, Di Ya, Attaya and Veroni followed closely behind, and they all landed lightly on the other side.

However, the moment they landed, a creepy aura suddenly appeared, blocking their way.

To make matters worse, there were roars coming from the other side of the river - the third wave of awakened residents of Dead City was approaching.

"The living..."

An icy cold voice without any warmth came faintly from above.

At the top of the building, a snow-white figure stood quietly.

Her hair was as white as frost, and her plain white robe fluttered slightly in the cold wind of the Dead City. Her pale skin exuded an uncomfortable aura of death, and the oppressive feeling lingering around her was almost suffocating.

This is definitely a high-level existence in the Dead Silence City, so powerful that Su Xiao's crisis intuition instantly sounded the alarm.

"Step aside!"

Ataya's reaction was faster than anyone else.

The moment she saw the white-haired woman clearly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her jet-black hair attacked the other party like a poisonous snake without any warning!
"Ah……"

The white-haired woman chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Ataya, when did you... actually mix with the living?"

She opened her five fingers slightly and easily pulled off the incoming hair, her movements as graceful as if she was brushing off the dust on her sleeves.

"It seems that my sister needs to teach you...what is 'duty'."

Before she finished her words, her pale fingers stretched out like sharp claws, heading straight for Attaya's throat!

boom!
In a flash, Su Xiao's Dragon Slash accurately intercepted the two men.

clang--!
The loud sound like metal colliding hurts the eardrums.

The white-haired woman caught the Dragon Slash with her bare hands, and the sharp blade struck her palm, producing dazzling sparks.

Although the blade eventually cut her skin, the fact that she was able to take Su Xiao's attack with her bare hands showed her strength far beyond imagination.

"Extreme cultivation?"

The white-haired woman smiled, but her smile was a little stiff.

In the twisted world of Dead Silence City, although the extreme cultivators seem to be half-dead, they are existences that no one dares to provoke easily.

If these monsters walking on the edge of life and death really start fighting, apart from the few old guys in the central area, there will be few people in the entire Dead Silence City who can suppress them.

Su Xiao felt the terrifying aura rising from the white-haired woman and decisively decided to release the blood beast.

Scarlet blood began to gather above his head, forming a surging blood mist. However, just when the power was halfway through -

boom!
An invisible heavy blow hit Lidya Su’s chest.

The force was so strange that it directly penetrated the body's defenses and caused the internal organs to vibrate violently as if they were hit by a hammer.

The accumulation of strength was forced to stop, and what was even more terrifying was that his ribs broke with a clear sound of bone cracking.

Su Xiao's health instantly dropped to 18%, and he was almost on the verge of death. At this moment, Lin Yi's healing spell and halo lit up at the same time, bringing Su Xiao back to normal.

"A god of light? No... this power seems a little abnormal."

The white-haired woman frowned slightly, glanced at Lin Yi, then took a step forward, as if wanting to capture him.

However, just as she was about to make her move——

"Zheng——!"

The blade of the Dragon Slash suddenly turned into a deep dark blue. Su Xiao leaned forward slightly, with the tip of the blade pointing diagonally at the ground, and the murderous intent around him was as condensed as substance.

The next moment, the long sword trembled, and a sharp blue light flashed like lightning. The air around the white-haired woman solidified instantly, and then made an unbearable "cracking" sound, as if the space itself was about to collapse.

“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng——!”

Countless slashing rays suddenly burst out, and the dense sword lights intertwined into a sphere, completely enveloping the white-haired woman.

After the terrifying slash, Su Xiao held the sheath in one hand and the knife in the other, and put the knife back into the sheath.

"clatter."

The moment the blade was sheathed——

“Crack! Crack! Crack—!”

Three invisible slashes appeared out of thin air, and huge knife marks were imprinted on the body of the white-haired woman.

The aura that blocked the surroundings was shattered, and the surrounding space collapsed like a mirror.

The white-haired woman was still standing there, but on her chest, three hideous wounds had torn her clothes, and blood was slowly seeping out.

——If it weren’t for Lin Yi’s amplification, Su Xiao’s sword would probably not even be able to cut through her skin.

The gap between the two sides is too big.

Su Xiao's current strength is only in the upper middle level of level five, while the white-haired woman is a real level six BOSS.

Being able to fight her with such a huge gap in strength and even cause damage to her, if such a record were reported back to Paradise, it would be enough to shock countless contractors.

After all, the suppression of ranks is no joke, and those who can cross ranks to fight are extremely rare in the entire paradise.

Su Xiao knew very well that no matter what, Lin Yi must not be in any danger.

Once the amplification disappears, with his current strength, there is no way he can defeat the white-haired woman.

On the other side, Lin Yi was not idle either. He madly superimposed various buff states on Su Xiao. At the same time, his curse skill also hit the white-haired woman.

"good."

The white-haired woman spoke lightly, and before she finished her words, her figure suddenly disappeared, and when she reappeared, she was already close to Su Xiao's side!

At this moment, Su Xiao had just performed an almost complete version of "Jueying Flash", and all his strength was temporarily overdrawn.

This move cost him a lot of Paradise Coins to develop, and its power was indeed amazing, but unfortunately... the enemy was too strong.

This white-haired woman is far more terrifying than Prisoner Hera!
"Aren't you afraid of death?"

The white-haired woman stared at Su Xiao, and in response she was met with a cold blade light!
"Ding--!"

The Dragon Slash pierced into her palm, and the blade went all the way through deep into her arm.

"It's bold, but unfortunately... it's a living person."

At this moment——

"Shh-!"

Ataya took action!

Countless black hairs entangled the white-haired woman's body like poisonous snakes. Even someone as strong as her found it difficult to break free for a while.

"Abyssal Shadow: Blade of the End!"

A pitch-black sword shadow tore through space, carrying with it a destructive force, and pierced straight through the white-haired woman's chest!

"boom--!!!"

Wherever the sword shadow passed, the space collapsed inch by inch, and terrifying cracks spread wildly. The body of the white-haired woman was twisted and deformed in the turbulence of space, and the black hair wrapped around her body was torn into pieces by the violent energy.

"Boom——!"

An even more terrifying force erupted from her body!

Lin Yi immediately realized that they could not kill her in a short time!
What's worse is that at this moment, the residents of Dead Silence City are approaching behind them.

If they delay any longer, they will surely die!
"call out--!"

Lin Yi blew a short whistle without hesitation, and Di Ya moved at the sound, grabbed Veronie, and quickly retreated! (End of this chapter)
