Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 524 A glimmer of light

In the cockpit, as a cold reminder sounded from Xin Lailai's mind, a dazzling light began to bloom from his hands, and then a large amount of light golden silk threads suddenly floated out and quickly wrapped Xin Lailai.

The next second, the golden threads wrapped around Xin Lailai's soul body began to change rapidly, and began to weave his flesh, blood, internal organs, bones... and other things closely related to the physical body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Hint: The body has been reshaped, because the pioneer has recovered his body and has left the "ghost" state]

Half a minute later, the naked Xin Lailai landed steadily on the ground. He quickly changed into a set of clothes and a night stealth suit, and looked at the remains of "himself" lying on the seat, with black threads growing out of them. Even though he was dead, his flesh and blood were gently squirming. With a thought, he threw out a charcoal square box from the storage space.

Then Xin Lailai clenched his five fingers, controlling the sealing spell on the seat to shrink continuously. Finally, after compressing the residue on the seat to the size of a human head, he threw it into the charcoal box, and then applied layer by layer of sealing spells on the surface of the charcoal box before putting the charcoal box into the storage space.

After his body was reshaped, due to the uniqueness of the brand notarization, the notarization effect that remained on his original body completely dissipated.

As for why he sealed it and put it into the storage space?

This is because his body is mutating in the direction of the most difficult to kill "host body", and the vitality of this kind of abyss creatures sometimes has certain causal characteristics, such as inflicting a curse on the object when it dies completely.

Therefore, without knowing whether his body has mutated into such characteristics, killing him directly is obviously not the wisest approach. Abandoning him may cause new changes. Ultimately, the safest approach is to use a sealing technique to temporarily seal him up, and then use the power of the paradise to destroy the residue after they return to the paradise alive.

Moreover, apart from the safety issue, Xin Lailai also had a hunch that if he could hand over the wreckage that he himself had transformed into to 83203, the other party might be very interested.

Although 83203 didn't say it explicitly, Xin Lailai could feel that 83203 clearly had some interest in his and Ling Yuzi's bodies that went beyond helping. For example, every time they went to the other party for treatment and examination, it seemed that "a little bit" of their body contents would be taken away as specimens or something.

[Warning: The concentration of abyssal energy in the current environment of the Pioneer is detected to be increasing. Pioneers, please evacuate the current area immediately.]

A shrill warning sounded. Xin Lailai looked at the giant abyss python swimming upwards at full speed and the dark sea water around it that had obviously become much lighter, and did not react much.

From the perspective of the environment, the concentration of abyss energy around the abyss has actually decreased by more than a hundred times compared to when it was deep in the abyss sea. The reason for the warning just now is that the abyss python's own resistance to abyss energy is about to reach its limit.

After all, with his current abilities, it was impossible for him to create an alchemical creature that could function for a long time in an environment with high concentrations of abyssal energy.

The reason why the Abyss Python could hold on for so long was entirely because the layer of flesh and blood of the abyss creature wrapped around its surface had a very good filtering and buffering effect on the abyss energy, and because the control core of the Abyss Python was moved by it into the cockpit made of super dark iron metal.

Otherwise, with his current level of alchemical biology, the abyss creatures he created would be scrapped after soaking in the abyss sea for just one or two minutes at best.

If he was "luckier", he might even see those alchemical creatures gaining new "life" under the influence of the abyss energy, turning into new species of abyss creatures, and then chasing him back.

"However, just in case, let's confirm it again..."

Xin Lailai looked at the dark rock wall on the screen, squinted his eyes, carefully took out the [Starlight Pendant] whose durability had not changed since he fell into the hallucination, and carefully injected mana into it.

Although he had confirmed that the scene he had seen before was just an illusion caused by the influence of the abyss, it was better to use the Starlight Pendant to confirm it just in case. Otherwise, if he really ran in the opposite direction, it would be really funny. What's more, before he was eroded by the abyss, he had planned to use the Starlight Pendant to predict what to do next.

Om-! !

The next second, soft starlight bloomed. This time, Xin Lailai's mind did not have any dark illusions, but instead projected an extremely clear picture.

In the picture, a ray of light like the starry sky flew out from him who was sitting in his cockpit, passed through the darkness, sank into the rock wall above, and extended all the way, causing the picture in his mind to change rapidly, and finally suddenly froze at a certain place:

It was a small cave, the entrance of which was buried by collapsed rocks. Deep in the cave, a soft white light slowly flowed, dispelling all the darkness around it.

This is……!
When Xin Lailai saw the picture in her mind, excitement suddenly appeared in her eyes. When she wanted to see it more clearly, the pendant in her hand suddenly dimmed and the picture in her mind stopped abruptly.

But Xin Lailai did not look depressed, instead he looked very excited.

You can’t go wrong!

The light that just appeared in the picture was definitely emitted by that thing!
“Abyss Suppression Device… I didn’t expect this thing to be left in the dungeon!”

Xin Lailai murmured to himself, and the eyes in his dark pupils became brighter and brighter, like a person who suddenly saw a lighthouse in the darkness.

Abyss Suppression Device.

If he could really find this thing, let alone return to the top level of the dungeon, he would have enough confidence even if he fought his way back to the abyss ocean!

As long as they can find this thing, their chances of surviving the shallow area eroded by the abyss will not return to 100%, but at least it can be raised to 60% to 70%.

This is not an exaggeration, but a real fact. You have to know that it is a special device developed specifically to deal with the abyss, and even Kagus praises it highly.

Within the effective range of the Abyss Suppression Device, there is almost no need to worry about the problem of abyss erosion. The mere effect of suppressing all the surrounding abyss creatures to the same level as the user of the device is enough to greatly reduce the threat posed to him by those abyss creatures that can take his life at any time.

——Finally found it.

——The glimmer of hope that can keep them alive!
Xin Lailai looked at the starry sky pendant in her hand, which had 3 points of durability left. The expression on her face was so excited for the first time since she encountered the space storm.

Since they encountered the space storm, they have hardly heard any good news.

When they opened their eyes, they were separated from Yamu and the others. They fell into the cruel reality of the abyss eroding the shallow area alone. Climbing upwards, they encountered countless abyss creatures and deep malice from the abyss. They finally reached the exit but suddenly encountered the Extreme Blade Abyss Shadow. In the end, they could only jump into the space crack to gamble their lives. When they woke up, they fell back into the abyss again, and they were still in the abyss energy ocean where breathing was dangerous. Under the huge pressure of life and death, they raced against time to create the Abyss Python and escape from the abyss sea, but when they breathed a sigh of relief, they were suddenly eroded by the abyss and were forced to use a life-saving prop...

It can be said that the number of critical situations they encountered and the thrills of escaping death in these few short days were even more than those they had experienced in all the worlds in the past combined. If their willpower was not strong enough and their minds were not firm enough, they would have been driven crazy by the despair and terror in the abyss and would never have been able to hold on until now.

But even so, Xin Lailai knew very well that they were just struggling to survive now. Their equipment was reaching its limit, their supplies were almost exhausted, and they were forced to use their life-saving trump cards again and again. The gaze of the abyss was tightly entangled on their souls, and there was an enemy who was so powerful that he was almost invincible guarding at the end. In this case, their chance of survival had actually been so low that it could be ignored. The reason they were still holding on was simply because they were unwilling to give up just like that, and they didn't want their hearts to fall down before their bodies could move.

And now, they finally received the first good news since encountering the space storm, a ray of hope that was enough to cheer up the hearts of those who were in despair.

In this way, the goal is clear.

Xin Lailai put away the starlight pendant and looked up at the rock wall that was getting closer and closer on the screen. His dark pupils reflected the dark ocean that swallowed everything.

Judging from the divination image, although the Abyss Suppression Device is some distance away from this level of the dungeon adjacent to the Abyss Ocean, it will not be more than 20 levels at most. Given the special nature of the Abyss Suppression Device and his current branding authority, as long as he approaches within 10km of the device, he can quickly lock onto the specific location of the Abyss Suppression Device.

For the underground city with relatively limited space height, the detection range of 10km radius means that as long as he is on the adjacent layer, two layers or three layers of the abyss suppression device, he can immediately receive the notification of the Paradise Mark, thus basically avoiding the possibility of passing by each other.

As long as he can find the abyss suppression device, with his suppression power within the second-level range, without the worries of abyss erosion, unless it is a special case like the Extreme Blade Abyss Shadow, he will not be afraid of any ordinary second-level abyss creatures, no matter how many come.

This is not arrogance, but the self-confidence honed through one unimaginable life-and-death battle after another. He doesn't know what will happen after he enters the third level in the future, but at least, as a pioneer in the field of the second level, he is not afraid of any opponent.

boom--! !

The next second, a violent tremor broke out, and the abyss python, whose surface was covered with a layer of pitch-black flesh and a large number of pinhole cameras, slammed heavily into the pitch-black rock wall that was like a natural moat. The earth python hidden under the flesh and blood of the abyss creature "broke out of the shell", let out a hissing sound, broke through the rock wall with its snake scales infected with dark black, and quickly drilled into the rock wall.

[Ding~! The spatial fluctuation index has been detected to have dropped suddenly, and the spatial stability coefficient has increased step by step. It is speculated that it has returned to the surface space! ]

[Tip: It is detected that the abyssal energy concentration in the current environment of the pioneer has returned to a "relatively high" level. Pioneers, please explore with caution! ]

Childish electronic sounds and reminders from the paradise rang out one after another. The screens in the cockpit dimmed as one pinhole camera after another was shattered. Xin Lailai sat calmly in the cockpit, opened his psychic field, and controlled the giant earth python to drill upwards desperately.

[Hint: Entered the "Shadow Stealth" state]

The prompt sound for the suit's effect to be activated sounded. In the darkness, Xin Lailai sat in the extremely shaking cockpit and put on one piece of equipment after another, making it convenient to switch on the equipment bar. Finally, he took out two pieces of black iron sheets that were deformed beyond recognition, stared at them for a while, and then tied them to the front and back of his chest.

The jet-black iron pieces were nothing else but the black dragon armor that he had asked Hephaestus from the Earth World to make for them. However, after being successively damaged by space storms, destructive energy, extreme blade shadow, and space turbulence, only these two small pieces of the original black dragon armor were left.

In terms of defensive effect, the current Black Dragon Armor is definitely greatly reduced, but for him at the moment, there is no room for pickyness at all. Not to mention that there are still two broken shells that can be tied together, even if there is only a palm-sized fragment left, he still has to tie it to his body to increase his chances of survival as much as possible.

Black Dragon Armor, Fanatic Saint Set, Dusty Thug, The Jocke Pistol, Diamond Vow, Malice Belt...

Xin Lailai was like an old soldier before a battle, calmly putting on equipment one by one. Even if these equipments could not play their true effect due to the limitation of the equipment bar, they were made of extraordinary materials after all, and even if they could help him resist one more blow at a critical moment, it would be a huge profit.

And when Xin Lailai had put on everything he could, he suddenly took out a dark golden treasure chest and opened it.

……

A dark golden light bloomed from the narrow cockpit. Xin Lailai didn't even look at anything other than the legendary pendant called [Dragon's Hatred]. Instead, she quickly put [Dragon's Hatred] on her neck and immediately took out the second 100% legendary treasure chest. She opened it casually, and a dark golden light that was much brighter than before bloomed immediately:

Two prompts sounded, but Xin Lailai ignored the skill learning information with the "New!" prompt that popped up in front of him, and immediately took out the third 100% legendary treasure chest and continued to open it:

Om-! !

As if it sensed that Xin Lailai was going to fight to the death here, this time, the dark golden light even flashed for several seconds before stopping.

Introduction: Perhaps it is a misfortune for you to get it in this way?
……

Very good, I used my best luck to open a useless thing.

Xin Lailai glanced at the things he had opened and threw them back into the storage space. Just as he was about to continue...

boom!
I saw a huge white bone dragon claw emitting a strong ominous aura suddenly rushing out from the side of the Earth Python that was shuttling through the rocks and soil. It was wrapped in a large amount of gravel and slammed heavily on the body of the Earth Python, forcibly knocking the Earth Python out of the rock layer.

"Roar--!!"

A sharp dragon roar was heard, and a rotten dragon with its entire body rotten and most of its body covered with white bones popped its head out of the rock and roared at the Earth Python.

Buzz, rumble—! !

Then, the entire underground began to tremble rapidly, and white bones broke out from under the dark rock, as if "welcoming" someone's arrival.

Class rebellion.

No explanation is needed, just one glance will tell you what is happening before your eyes.

In the cockpit, Xin Lailai, who was about to open the fourth treasure chest, looked at the scene in front of him without any surprise in his eyes.

The Earth Python is an alchemical creature made from monsters in the dungeon. Logically speaking, using it to travel through the dungeon should not cause any problems.

It's just a pity that what is controlling this dungeon now is no longer the will of the maze, but -

"abyss"
