Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

In the eastern part of Dark Crow Continent, in the primeval forest.

Several figures of natives walked through the forest. The skin of these natives was pale. If you look closely, you will find that it was painted with some white dye.

A rapid panting sound came from the front. This was a witch wearing a witch hat and tattered clothes. Her right arm was missing, and the broken part was uneven, as if it was bitten off by some ferocious creature. There was still a trace of blood on the wound.

After running for about ten minutes, this fourth-stage elemental witch stopped.

She hunched over, gasping for breath, and her chest rose and fell violently. It felt like her lungs would explode at any time.

The seven witches came here to look for something. After some investigation, they learned that the thing was in an indigenous tribe called "Tooth Bone".

The witches responded with contempt for these uncivilized natives.

In their view, although humans are weak, they are also intelligent creatures. Although they will not show mercy when killing them, they will also give them a certain degree of respect.

The witches completely despise these natives in the east. In their eyes, these natives are not even worthy of being compared with humans.

Yesterday at noon, seven witches attacked the Toothbone Tribe. At first, the natives suffered heavy casualties and the situation seemed to be one-sided.

But after a few minutes of fighting, the witches found that these natives were far stronger than they imagined. Not to mention their fighting skills, their extraordinary physical fitness alone was enough to make the witches dumbfounded.

The Toothbone Tribe is large in scale, with a population of thousands, most of whom are young and strong warriors.

The Toothbone Tribe has a tradition that once they are over 35 years old, their souls will be sent to serve the Toothbone God, and their bodies will be left for their descendants to share. In their beliefs, this means that they can be with their descendants forever.

Obviously, these witches do not know the past of the Toothbone Tribe.

Previously, the Holy Healing Church had sent a large army to attack this tribe because the Yagu Tribe had crossed the border between the two sides.

When the army of the Holy Healing Church marched into the east, it was clearly arranged by the Yagu Tribe.

Half of the 20,000 soldiers and 100 witch hunters died in the east and eventually became the food of the Yagu Tribe.

Although there were heavy casualties, the Yagu Tribe itself also paid a considerable price.

The Yagu Tribe did not care about the death of ordinary soldiers, because these soldiers became their source of food.

However, the witch hunters made them truly realize the power of human beings.

The Yagu Tribe had extremely high respect for the brave warriors, so they buried the witch hunters who died in the battle.

Two years later, the Yagu Tribe's priests signed a non-aggression treaty with the Pope of the Holy Healing Church.

The treaty stipulated that the Yagu Tribe was not allowed to enter the Central Plains, and the Holy Healing Church would not launch a crusade against the Yagu Tribe again.

For foreign enemies, the Yagu Tribe had only one solution, which was to fight to the death.

With a swish, a pale figure passed through the forest. He held a spear with a shiny black tip at the tip. The tip was not made of ordinary metal, but was carefully polished from some rare metal ore.

The whimpering sound of breaking wind came, and the fourth-stage witch who was panting against the tree had her pupils shrank and instinctively bent down.

With a loud bang, a long arrow flew like lightning and nailed hard on the tree trunk above her head.

The arrow was very powerful, most of it was deeply embedded in the trunk, only a small part of the tail was exposed and still trembling at high speed.

The witch's eyes flashed with purple light. She was in the state of incarnation fusion at this time, and her physical value was no weaker than close combat.

The white arm was raised, and with a bang, the surrounding air exploded. This witch has the ability to control the air. Under her control, the invisible air is like the sharpest blade.

A spear appeared silently behind her. The witch's cheek twitched and her palm pointed to the back.

With a bang, a figure appeared out of thin air, and a large amount of blood splashed. A native of the Toothbone Tribe was blasted to pieces by the air cannon, and his eyes quickly filled with blood due to severe pain and anger.

"Human?"

At this moment, a voice appeared above the witch's head.

Hearing the voice, the witch subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

She found that the other party was holding a spear, and the structure of his body was completely different from that of humans. Instead, it was more like an incarnation of an element.

"Who are you?"

The witch's face became much more solemn after seeing Popgar.

She could sense that the aura on Popgar was much more dangerous than the natives who had chased her before.

The moment Popgar appeared, a large number of natives around him screamed wildly at Popgar, as if they had seen some kind of mortal enemy.

The witch, who was being chased by the natives and was in a mess, was now thrown behind the back of her mind by these natives.

They picked up the blowpipes in their hands, puffed up their cheeks, and blew hard, and dense blowpipes shot towards Popgar like raindrops.

Popgar didn't even look back, he shook his wrist lightly and swung the spear in his hand violently.

These poisonous arrows did not fly randomly in the air because of Popgar's attack, but changed their direction under his attack, and quickly flew back to the original route.

These natives did not expect that their attacks could be bounced back, and they were all hit by poisonous arrows on the spot.

After being hit by arrows, many natives subconsciously covered their throats.

This kind of poisonous arrow will paralyze a person's nerves within three seconds after being poisoned, which is a real way to seal one's throat at the sight of blood.

Unless the special serum can be injected in time, the poisoned person will definitely die within one minute.

With several dull sounds of falling to the ground, the indigenous people who had been noisy around the witch fell to the ground one by one, like harvested wheat.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with corpses of indigenous people, and the air was filled with the smell of death.

Looking at Popgar's expressionless look, the witch swallowed. Although the witch was now in a state of avatar fusion, it was obvious that she was no match for Popgar.

"I ask, you answer."

Humans in Popgar learn languages ​​very quickly, or in other words, races from the void can learn languages ​​in the world very quickly.

“Where is the closest gathering place of human civilization?”

Upon hearing Popgar's question, a doubt suddenly arose in the witch's heart, and then a terrifying thought appeared in the witch's mind.

"You are not from our world?"

Although the continent of Raven Star is very backward, this does not mean that the technological level mastered by the witch civilization and the Holy Healing Church is also lagging behind.

The moment the witch spoke, her arm suddenly burst open without warning, blood spurted out instantly, and pieces of flesh and bones flew everywhere.

"I ask you for the last time, where is the nearest gathering place of human civilization?" Popgar's voice was still cold and ruthless, as if the scene just now was just a small random action on his part.

The witch covered her broken arm and looked at Popgar in horror. She didn't even see the shadow of the attacking witch.

"Go eastward along this forest, where there are all human kingdoms." The witch swallowed and spoke the truth tremblingly.

"Well, the breath of the soul has not fluctuated. In that case, you can leave." Popgar raised his head slightly and moved his nose slightly.

Their race is extremely sensitive to the smell emitted by each soul. As long as someone lies in front of them, the smell of the soul will fluctuate slightly, and none of this can escape Popgar's keen sense of smell.

It is precisely because of this unique characteristic of their race that in the past years, they were often caught and used as lie detectors by some powerful races.

But this special ability was too scary. Later, several underground bosses secretly manipulated the races that were hostile to them and launched a genocide against Popgar's race.

No way, this lie detection talent is too annoying in the eyes of some people with evil intentions.

"Surrounded by the sea on one side and mountains on three sides, Xiwan is located on the westernmost side of the jurisdiction of the Holy Healing Church. That place is almost completely isolated from the outside world. To put it more bluntly, it is like the witches specially built a A nail planted in the border of Yue Church.”

Based on Melody's description, the two of them understood part of the situation in West Bay.

First of all, Xiwan is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Due to artificial construction, the peaks on the three sides are almost insurmountable. They are full of elements, spell traps, etc.

The sea located behind Sai Wan is the most important source of food for the residents living in Sai Wan.

There are not only witches there. Witches don't want to work, and most of them have surly personalities, so they need civilians living in Xiwan to provide them with all kinds of life needs.

As for the source of these civilians, it is actually very simple, that is, they are obtained by purchasing slaves.

These slaves were forced to do various kinds of labor in Xiwan, providing support for the witches' lives.

There is a rule among the witches in Xiwan that they cannot harm the local residents of Xiwan. As for outsiders, they can do whatever they like.

When those hungry slaves first came to Xiwan, they were half fearful and half envious of witches. After all, they had been in close contact with supernatural powers, so it was inevitable that they would feel longing for them.

As time went by, the slaves gradually discovered that the witches would not harm them at will, but would regularly collect some items from them, such as food, minerals, and various daily necessities.

Although the amount collected each time was not small, compared to the slave owners they had encountered, the practices of these witches were quite enlightened.

In this way, a benign ecological balance quietly began to form in Xiwan.

After several generations of inheritance and development, the descendants of former slaves have been fully integrated into the social system of witches.

They work for the witches willingly and even regard it as part of their lives.

Among them, the female group is particularly prominent. They are proud to be a witch and regard it as a supreme honor. 80% of the witches circulating in the territory of the Holy Healing Church are not from the southern witch country, but from Xiwan.

The Holy Healing Church is also troubled by this cancer that doesn’t know when it will grow stronger.

First of all, there is the problem of transportation. Xiwan is too far away from the core area of ​​the Holy Healing Church.

If you want to send a large army to besiege it, the long march alone is almost an impossible task.

Moreover, the special terrain of Xiwan set up many obstacles for the army's march.

The terrain is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountains are also covered with various dangerous elements and spell traps, making it difficult for external troops to enter smoothly.

Furthermore, attacking by sea was not feasible.

More than fifty percent of the soldiers under the Holy Healing Church are landlubbers and know nothing about navigation.

Moreover, the Holy Healing Church's own navigation technology is also extremely backward, and can almost be said to be at a very rudimentary stage.

In order to spend a lot of resources to develop navigation and build a naval fleet for a relatively small gathering place of witches like Xiwan, from the perspective of the Holy Healing Church, this is completely a waste that outweighs the gains and losses. .

In the eyes of the Holy Healing Church, the real serious problem is the "Witch Country" in the south.

Compared with the "Witch Country", although witch gathering places like Xiwan are somewhat troublesome, they are far from being comparable to it.

Xiwan is located on the border of the area under the jurisdiction of the Holy Healing Church, and its geographical location is relatively remote.

Moreover, the resources here are quite limited. Even if some witches can be cultivated here, judging from the overall strength and influence, they are not enough to pose a substantial threat to the Holy Healing Church.

Holy Healing Church needs to consider it from a more macro level, so when facing some local problems, it has to weigh the pros and cons.

Even if there are occasional cases of witches harming civilians here in Xiwan, although this approach seems extremely ruthless, from the perspective of the overall strategic layout of the Holy Healing Church, it is not worth going to war and carrying out large-scale operations such as encirclement and suppression. .

Xiwan sounds like a cancer. In fact, life here is not easy. Witch hunters occasionally pay attention to this place and then leave after paying daily greetings.

"So, if you arrive in Xiwan, all the humans you see are your enemies, including the civilians. They are like... domestic animals."

"Before I left West Bay, I always believed that witches are sacred and should not be hostile to black witches. They just have extreme personalities..."

Having said this, Melody smiled to herself.

"It wasn't until I saw the wider world that I realized that the witches in West Bay were keeping humans captive and corroding their spirits to make them obey orders. Can you imagine what it feels like to be destined to be a slave just after birth? It's even more terrifying. What's more, the residents of West Bay are proud of this. They have forgotten to resist. In their hearts, Melissa is the living god..."

…

Three days later, Dark Crow Continent, west, Yag Desert.

The strong wind howled and swept in like a wild horse, and large tracts of sand were carried by the strong wind. Like a dense rain of bullets, it slapped hard on a lonely carriage, making a crackling sound. .

In the carriage, Lin Yi repeatedly checked the map in his hand. He was very confused. According to the clearly marked route on the map, he should be heading straight towards Westport at the moment, but now he inexplicably arrived at this A deserted desert.

"Are you sure the line is correct?" Su Xiao frowned, with a little doubt in her eyes, and glanced at Melody sitting aside.

"Absolutely, that..." Melody was suddenly nervous when Su Xiao asked her, and her words became hesitant.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me." Su Xiao was impatient. Seeing Melody's appearance, her tone became a little more serious.

"If, I'm talking about if, when I meet Witch Queen Morrissa, can I avoid it? There is, uh, some... small grudge between the two of us." Melody said bravely, saying After finishing, there was a look of embarrassment and fear on her face.

Lin Yi was looking at the map in his hand with all his concentration. When he heard Melody's words, his eyes couldn't help but shift from the map to Melody.

"Tell me and listen."

"Actually, it's nothing. When I escaped from Westport, you know, I was a weak woman who was penniless at the time. If I wanted to leave that place, of course I needed travel expenses, so... so I stole something from Witch Queen Morrisa. ..." Melody said while carefully observing the expressions of Su Xiao and Lin Yi, her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible in the end.

"That's all?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing Melody's nonsense.

"That thing... is a little important to Witch Queen Morrisa. I swear, it's just a little bit important." Seeing Lin Yi's disbelief, Melody hurriedly stretched out her hand and gestured, trying to make them believe what she said.

But her guilty look made anyone look at her and feel that she was hiding some important secret.

"..."

Lidya Su said nothing, but the smile on his face was very dangerous.

A hemp rope appeared in his hand. If Melody continued to talk nonsense like this, Su Xiao would not mind hanging Melody on the rickety carriage and treating her like a sunny doll.

"It's just that he stole the heirloom passed down by the Witch Queen Morissa for nine generations..."

The more Melody talks, the more she feels guilty. It is conceivable that the family heirloom that has been passed down for nine generations is missing. Once Witch Queen Morissa finds out about this, she will definitely not just skin Melody.

"Heirloom? A MILF family heirloom?"

After hearing Melody's answer, Lin Yi and Su Xiao glanced at each other, and instantly thought of the place of death.

"Where did the thing go?" Su Xiao stood up suddenly and walked to Melody's side in a few steps.

"Lost..." Melody shrank her head subconsciously when she heard Su Xiao's question, like a frightened quail.

This made her even more depressed. If nothing unexpected happened, the thing should have been lost on her way to the south.

Su Xiao found that this woman was not honest. She always kept half of the secrets and said half of the truth every time she spoke. It seemed that she had to be well prepared.

Melody looked at the shadow of Su Xiao covering her, and her heart suddenly sank, and she couldn't help swallowing.

"I really don't know where it was lost, but it is likely to be in the south. I went to the south to avoid the pursuit of the west area before, and then the thing was gone."

Melody shrank her head and hurriedly told everything she knew.

According to Melody's description, the heirloom of the Moyi family looks like a dagger-like thing.

It is not like ordinary treasures. Wearing it on the body can bring a significant increase in combat power.

Its only peculiarity seems to be that it can warm the wearer's body a little, just such a seemingly insignificant effect.

Relying on its ability to warm people's bodies, Melody once boldly went to the North for two rounds.

After listening to Melody's words, Lin Yi and Su Xiao immediately understood that this so-called heirloom was definitely related to the Land of Death.

From the fact that Melody said that the heirloom can warm the body a little, and even relied on it to go through two rounds in the North, it can now be basically inferred that since this heirloom has such a good ability to resist low temperatures, it is enough to show that the Land of Death, which has always been shrouded in mystery, should be in an extremely low temperature environment.

"Hang it out."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Su Xiao picked up the hemp rope in his hand very quickly, tied Melody up tightly in a few seconds and hung it on the carriage.

"Don't worry! I've told you everything! We're here! We're here at Westport. Going any further will trigger a trap." Just as Melody was struggling desperately, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the scenery outside the window and quickly found an excuse to divert the attention of the two.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao sensed the surrounding environment and found that there were indeed elemental fluctuations here.

The wind was howling on the Gobi Desert, and the mountains in the distance were bare and extremely steep. The environment here was so bad that it was almost impossible for civilians to live and work in peace and contentment nearby.

The Apostle's Eye rushed through the wind and sand and arrived above the mountains. After penetrating a layer of film, the surroundings twisted.

Westport has been able to survive until now under the care of the witch hunters, of course, it has its own unique features. Fortunately, the Apostle's Eye is a non-living body and did not trigger the defense mechanism on the mountains.

Through the pictures sent by the Apostle's Eye, several people saw the scene behind the mountain.

What came into view was a large area of ​​houses distributed in a stepped manner, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

After countless generations of unremitting excavation and careful construction, the other side of the mountain has been transformed into a huge staircase of different specifications.

And the thousands of houses were built one after another on these huge stairs, forming a unique architectural landscape.

The huge stone staircase is divided into 12 floors. The higher the building is, the more luxurious it is.

And at the place closest to the top of the mountain, there stands a castle covering a large area.

The sea can be seen on the west side of the castle, and the endless Gobi Desert on the east side. All the buildings in Xigang can be seen at a glance.

Xigang is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. The outsides of the three mountains are all cliffs. Because they are too steep, ordinary civilians have no chance to climb up.

Not only that, these cliffs are full of traps. There is only one entrance and exit in the entire Xigang, which is the sea.

The traps and defense arrays on the cliffs are not hundreds or thousands, but at least tens of thousands.

What's even more troublesome is that there is a transparent gas above. Entering the gas is like entering a piece of amber.

Even if the few people can detect the location of the trap, as long as they move forward, the sticky gas around will trigger the trap.

The road on the mountain is already blocked, and it seems that the few people can only set out from the sea.

West Port is a natural fortress, and the blockade of the sea area is also strict. 12 watchtowers have been built in the sea area in front of West Port. These watchtowers are distributed in the surrounding sea area in an inverted U shape. There are several or even dozens of witches guarding each watchtower.

As for the sea area below the watchtower, the watchtowers are connected to the energy network. There is a huge crystal stone above each watchtower. These crystal stones will absorb light energy to maintain the energy network under the sea.

The entire West Port is guarded like an iron barrel, which makes the two people wonder how Melody escaped from West Port.

Melody's original words were that she escaped from Westport on a fishing boat. Although it was not impossible, there was a lot of luck involved. (End of this chapter)
