Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Lin Xiao quickly returned to the property he had once purchased in Wood Soul City.

He pushed open the door and saw Zhuge Duo and the other two waiting for him inside.

Upon seeing Lin Xiao return, they anxiously inquired what the city lord of Wood Soul City wanted to see him about.

Lin Xiao didn't keep them in suspense and quickly explained why the city lord of Wood Soul City had come to see him.

"What! The city lord of Wood Soul City actually asked you to resolve the crisis in Wood Soul Domain?"

After listening to Lin Xiao's words, Zhuge Duo shouted excitedly.

"Why are you shouting so loudly?" Lin Xiao asked, puzzled, looking at the somewhat agitated Zhuge Duo.

"And it wasn't about resolving the crisis in the Wood Soul Domain; he only told me to resolve the crisis in Wood Soul City, specifically those guys currently surrounding it!"

"Oh..." Zhuge Duo breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, but then he suddenly remembered something.

"No, even if it's a crisis in Wood Soul City, there are still two fifth-tier beings outside! How are you going to deal with it?"

Seeing the somewhat excited Zhuge Duo, Lin Xiao smiled but didn't answer her question. Instead, she asked, "Why are you so excited? Did you see something through your talent?"

"I..." Zhuge Duo's tone faltered, and she murmured a couple of sentences before falling silent again.

Lin Xiao didn't care too much about whether Zhuge Duo was hiding something, since he had seen from the beginning that Zhuge Duo had some purpose for him, or rather, she needed him to achieve a certain goal.

But this goal isn't necessarily a bad idea. Moreover, Lin Xiao still needs a survivor with SSS-level talent, like Nelly before, to stay by his side.

Thinking of Nelly, Lin Xiao subconsciously glanced at his private chat and found that he still hadn't received a reply from Nelly, and the message hadn't even changed to "read but not replied to" status; it was still unread.

Lin Xiao was also filled with worry about what had happened to Nelly, but no matter what method he used, he could not find Nelly's location.

"Sigh..." Lin Xiao sighed softly. He missed the time he spent with Nelly and the others in the ruins.

Soon, night fell.

The entire Wood Soul Domain was plunged into a pitch-black night where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

The green sun that once filled the sky above the Wood Soul Domain has vanished without a trace.

What the creatures of the Wood Soul Domain did not expect was that a pitch-black sun would rise in the sky above the Wood Soul Domain at night.

The dark sun didn't seem to rise from any direction; it seemed to have always been hanging in the sky, as if it had never disappeared.

However, this discovery caused panic among most races in Wood Soul City.

If that black sun just keeps hanging in the sky, then where did their green sun, which belongs to the Wood Soul Domain, go?

As night fell, a thick fog enveloped the streets of Wood Soul City.

If Lin Xiao remembered correctly, when he came to Wood Soul City before, it was also at night, and Wood Soul City could not be invaded by the mist.

It seems that the attacks from the Dark Sun Forest are making Wood Soul City somewhat shaky.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the city lord of Wood Soul City is so anxious.

Lin Xiao shook his head in the courtyard, and then, seeing that the mist was about to spread, he casually projected a sacrificial lantern and hung it at the door.

Immediately, the sacrificial lantern came into play, acting as an invisible shield to protect Lin Xiao's house.

Lin Xiao sat back down in the house, recalling the situation of the forces surrounding the Dark Sun Forest that had surrounded Wood Soul City.

"The initial estimate for those pseudo-fourth-tier Darkflame Wyverns is at least around 1!"

"Although their strength is nothing compared to a true fourth-tier being, if they are subject to elemental disadvantage like in Wood Soul City, a dozen or so of them could hold off a fourth-tier being!"

"Moreover, these 1 pseudo-fourth-tier Darkflame Wyverns don't seem like living creatures. They're more like the Darkflame Puppets we encountered before, as if they're being controlled by someone else."

Lin Xiao recalled the situation he had just discovered while thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which startled Lin Xiao.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Who?"

Lin Xiao said warily, after all, most of the people who come to him at this time are not normal guys.

"Brother Lin Xiao, this is Senbei. The City Lord sent me to deliver some intelligence from outside!"

Upon hearing the shouts of the newcomer, Lin Xiao did not immediately believe them. Instead, he took out the Five Elements Positioning Compass and located Senbei's position. He found that the position shown on the compass was indeed his own doorway.

At the same time, Lin Xiao's deconstruction talent also began to work, allowing him to see through the newcomer.

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the person was indeed Senbei.

Lin Xiao arrived at the door but did not go into the yard. He waved his hand, opened the yard gate from a distance, and let Senbei into the yard.

As for how Senbei managed to get through the night fog and arrive here, Lin Xiao also figured it out: it was because of the Thorn Knight badge on his chest.

One of the effects of the Thorn Knight's badge is that it can isolate the user from the fog within a 5-meter radius.

As for the other effects, there's no need to go into detail.

Senbei knew that his arrival at this time would arouse suspicion, but he had no choice but to obey the city lord's orders.

After handing over the things the city lord had given him to Lin Xiao, Senbei took his leave.

Watching Senbei leave, Lin Xiao shook his head without saying anything, then went back into the house and looked at the intelligence that the city lord had given him.

The information was limited, consisting of only two sheets of paper. Lin Xiao's lips twitched slightly. He then began to read the information written on the two sheets of paper and was immediately speechless.

"What is this? They know less than I do..."

The two sheets of paper contained almost nothing but nonsense. The only useful information was that Lin Xiao learned what the fifth-tier ability of the Dark Sun Forest was.

"Can any living creature be transformed into a puppet? Just as I thought!"

Lin Xiao focused his attention on this intelligence report and pondered it carefully.

As for the rest, Lin Xiao simply ignored them.

Of the information on these two sheets of paper, only this one piece of news was somewhat useful to Lin Xiao.

As for the others... well, they don't even know which force entered the Wood Soul Domain.
