Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 531 Opportunity for Reversal

The next day, early in the morning.

[Ding~! The sleep timer has ended, the noise shielding mode has been turned off, and the wake-up procedure has begun! ]

Buzz, rumble—! !

When Bell woke up from the stimulation of the weak electric current in his technological earplugs, the first thing he heard was the loud roar of the alchemical equipment, followed by the strong smell of blood that made the air a little sticky.

Wait, blood?!
The strong smell of blood made Bell Crane instinctively shudder. He immediately got up from the bed and rushed out of the tent. Then he was stunned:
At a glance, one could see that at the entrance of the cave, thousands of corpses of the derivatives of the abyss were sitting there, piled up into one mountain of corpses after another, while Xin Lailai was standing in front of the alchemical instrument that was roaring continuously, pouring cartloads of chopped flesh and blood of the abyss creatures into the trough.

"Hey, you're awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

Xin Lailai, who was busy operating the equipment, glanced at Bell who rushed out of the tent in a hurry, smiled and greeted him.

"Uh... um, that, Brother Black Sword, this is..."

"Nothing, I just took advantage of last night to kill a few more abyss creatures. After all, we have to set off today, so it's better to make as many preparations as possible."

Xin Lailai said casually, exerted a little force with his arm, and pushed the slot for loading back into the instrument with a bang. Looking at the estimated completion time displayed on it, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Just as he said, because there were still too few treasure chests and corpses of abyss creatures, he took advantage of the time when Bell Crany was resting, and cooperated with Ling Yuzi to lure a large number of abyss creatures over to kill them to feed the alchemical equipment and produce treasure chests.

Although his current treasure chest drop rate is only about 5%, quantitative change can bring about qualitative change. After tossing around for a night, he had more than 1 more treasure chests in his hands, of which about 5/4 were legendary treasure chests, and the remaining 5/ were all the highest quality golden treasure chests.

With the addition of these treasure chests, the number of Soul Crystals (large) he now has on hand has returned to more than three digits. There are a total of twenty-seven pieces of various golden and legendary props and equipment that can produce buffs or recovery effects. Except for the parts he used as alchemical materials, the rest were all thrown into the storage space as spare parts for the Demon Seal.

He and Ling Yuzi's Demon Seal and Angel Seal are products transformed by Kagus and 83203. Although they do not have further potential, they can devour all unused props and equipment into pure soul energy. In other words, these useless equipment and props can all be detonated as soul crystals when necessary.

Even though this style of play was a bit too wasteful, profits were something one could only talk about while alive. Besides, if he didn't do this, his storage space would have been filled up with these useless equipment, props, and various materials.

After all, he couldn't even remember how many treasure chests he had opened along the way. After all, the treasure chests alone had increased his paradise point balance by nearly 40 million, so the output of other things can naturally be imagined.

With his current storage space capacity, it is impossible to fit so many treasure chest outputs, so it is better to use the Demon Seal to swallow up all the unused things, convert them into soul energy and seal them up.

"Okay, stop standing there. This batch of potions will take another ten minutes to prepare. Have breakfast first. There will be a lot of tough battles to fight later, so you can't do without a full stomach."

Xin Lailai looked at the dazed Bell and reminded him with a smile. At the same time, she took out the instant dry food stored in the storage space, heated it up twice, placed it on the simple dining table made of earth and stones, and took the initiative to sit down.

"Um... ok, okay!"

Bell nodded blankly, then sat down like Xin Lailai, picked up the dry food on the table and started chewing it.

While Xin Lailai was eating dry food, he took out the starlight pendant, stared at the stars on it, squinted his eyes, and silently injected mana into it.

In fact, when he found the abyss suppression device, theoretically he could have used the Starlight Pendant for the next divination. The reason why he waited until now was because after many divinations, Xin Lailai had also figured out some divination techniques and rules.

The first thing is that before the result of the previous divination is triggered, it is best not to proceed with the next divination at will, otherwise there is a high probability that you will waste the precious divination opportunity. This is common sense knowledge in divination.

Secondly, after reaching or missing the "result" of the previous divination, if you want to do the next divination, it is best to choose a node where you are in a relatively good state and can set off at any time and are well prepared.

The reason for doing this is that divination is not simply predicting the future, but more like a real-time result deduction.

Taking himself as an example, if the deductive power that can be called upon each time for divination is divided into 100 equal parts, then when he is divining for the chance of survival in the abyss ocean, the content that needs to be deduced this time will include the three constraints of 'equipment and props are on the verge of exhaustion', 'being in the abyss ocean', and 'finding a way to survive under the above circumstances', and the first two constraints will greatly increase the difficulty of divination, resulting in the points used to display the divination results becoming extremely scarce.

To put it simply, the state of the object of divination will have a real-time impact on the result of divination. If one wants to find a chance to survive, the more dangerous the current situation and the worse the state, the more vague the final divination result will be. If one performs divination in a relatively safe environment and in good state, the final result will become extremely clear.

This is why divination can be studied as an academic knowledge. In the eyes of outsiders, divination is always considered to be a mysterious subject. However, when people really get in touch with it, they will find that divination involves more scientific theories and methodologies than some magic systems.

How to choose the right time for divination, how to choose the appropriate method of divination, how to accurately and correctly interpret the results of divination... these are all subjects that require a lot of effort to study.

With his current energy, it is naturally impossible for him to further study divination, but as a wizard, he will still try his best to understand and learn some content that can be mastered simply by memorizing, rather than really making himself act like a know-nothing novice.

At least, Xin Lailai didn't want to be like those pure technical or undead system people who had damaged their brains, and in the end encountered a prop or item that did not belong to their own system, and couldn't even call out the name of the item, and had no idea of ​​its usage or weaknesses. They would just rush in and try their best to make miracles happen.

Om-! !

Soft starlight bloomed from Xin Lailai's hands, causing Bell on the side to couldn't help but look over. In Xin Lailai's sight, pictures were constantly emerging in his mind.

In a trance, his consciousness seemed to fly out of his body, and floated upwards following the guidance of the stars, passing through layer after layer of mazes, avoiding one natural barrier after another, and finally stopped in front of a building. A noun and the image of an object emerged uncontrollably in his mind.

"This is…!"

Xin Lailai sensed the image in his mind, and a strange color blossomed in his dark pupils.

He was very familiar with the item suggested in the divination screen of the Starlight Pendant. It was none other than an extremely rare item that he had obtained and used before encountering the space storm - [Miracle of the Gods].

The key point was the place indicated by the Star Pointer... to be precise, the building that looked like a store that he was very familiar with:
Faction store.

And there is more than one!
"Have all the faction shops in the dungeon been moved to the same place?"

Xin Lailai sensed the information in his mind, and there was a hint of obvious excitement on his face.

In fact, if you simply know the location of the faction store after the dungeon has undergone a major change, it is actually not a big deal. The problem lies in the information implied by this scene combined with the [Miracle of the Gods] in his divination results:
You have to know that when he went to the depths of the dungeon with the Death Bearer, Yamu Daoji and others, they exchanged all the high-value items in the camp store, not even the bones of the gods were left. But now the divination results suggest that there is a [Miracle of the Gods] in the camp store. Combined with the actual situation, there can only be one result:
——The faction store in the Dicuo world has been refreshed!

Yes, this is the key to why Sinlailai is so excited.

According to common sense, they have not returned to paradise yet, and the opening of the Dicuo world has not ended. Normally speaking, the faction store in the Dicuo world cannot be refreshed at all.

The problem is that the current dungeon and their space, strictly speaking, have already "left" the wrong world.

That's right, judging from the results, at the moment they encountered the space storm, they had already 'separated' from the Dicuo world together with the dungeon space. Although it is unclear how long this 'separation' process lasted, with the power of the paradise, even if it was only for a short moment, as long as the regulations were met, the camp stores in the Dicuo world could be instantly replenished.

"If that's the case, then that means..."

While Xin Lailai was thinking, his eyes looked at some things stored in his storage space, and his breathing became rapid.

After a lot of battles, the equipment he was wearing had been replaced for generations. The problem was that although the appearance and effects of these equipment were not bad, they were far from being "compatible" with him. Therefore, there was an extremely obvious gap between his current strength and the peak state. If he could really get enough divine bones and use the quality upgrade to replenish the durability of the Transcendent Set and the Nether Scale Sky Feather, it would definitely be an extremely huge gain for him now, and it would even be very likely to increase his strength limit further and reach the peak in the true sense!

As for the current situation, further strength not only means a greater chance of survival, but more importantly -

An opportunity to fight against Jiren Yuanying!
"Oh, is this what they call a way out? Or should we say..."

——The paradise provides them with important help in an invisible way.

Xin Lailai knew very well that if Paradise did not want to intervene, it could just watch the dungeon space being blown away by the space storm. There was no need to go out of its way to replenish a batch of supplies from the faction store in the Dicuo world.

The four World Tree Fruits that appeared in the camp store at that time also fully demonstrated that Paradise was actually very clear about certain things, but was bound by regulations and could not provide direct help to these pioneers.

It’s different from the Demon World back then.

At that time, he had truly lost everything in terms of time, place and people, and was truly trapped in despair and despair.

But this time, even if the desperate situation he faced was a million times more dangerous than before, at least...

——He has already got one of the right time, right place and right people!

The Demon Slayer World did not bring him down completely, the Black Four and the God Eater World did not bring him down completely, the Black Bullet World and the erosion of the Abyss did not bring him down completely, the Extreme Blade Abyss Shadow and tens of thousands of Abyss creatures did not bring him down completely, and now that he has struggled to climb out of the most desperate valley and darkness, how could he stop here? !
"Just wait...Xiaobai, and Xiaopu."

Xin Lailai looked up at the tall dark steel mecha beside him, squinting his eyes slightly, and his dark pupils reflected his own reflection on the metal surface of the mecha.

They...will definitely return to paradise alive!

Om-! !

Suddenly, a large amount of white steam gushed out from the alchemical device on the side, rolling up a heat wave and hitting Xin Lailai's robe.

[Tip: The durability of the "Multifunctional Alchemy Machinery Type II" is insufficient. If you continue to use it, there is a 96.3% chance that it will be scrapped.]

Seeing this, Xin Lailai turned around and looked at the alchemy device in front of him, which had only 4 points of durability left. Without saying anything, he walked to the device, took out a few empty potion bottles, and after taking all the prepared potions, he put away the alchemy device, then looked at Bell who was also serious, nodded slightly, and said:

"Let's go."

"Ah."

As soon as the words came out, the surrounding tents, campfires, abyss suppression devices, simple alchemy experimental tables and so on all disappeared on the spot. Xin Lailai exerted a little force on the tiptoes and jumped to the cockpit of the Dark Steel Mech. Bell Crany followed closely behind and entered the cockpit with Xin Lailai.

Although the cockpit of the Dark Steel Mech was designed for one person, it was not a problem to accommodate two people in the cockpit. Although it would be a bit crowded, it was better than for them to travel outside exposed.

After going through test after test, the dark adamantium steel and super dark adamantium metal born from the power of the abyss have fully demonstrated how excellent their resistance is when facing the erosion of the power of the abyss.

As for energy issues?

If it only relied on the energy of one Dark Steel Mech, the Dark Steel Mech should have shut down two days ago. The energy core used by Xiaobai's No. 1 Dark Steel Mech is actually the energy core of Xiaopu's No. 1. Even if these two energy cores are completely exhausted, there are still two spare energy cores prepared for them by Xiaobai in his storage space.

Om-! !

The humming sound of the sword blade exploded, and Xin Lailai was seen controlling the right arm of the Dark Steel Mech, aiming at the giant sword on the back of the mech and pulling with all his strength. In a series of sparks, he carried the black giant sword made of super dark alumina alloy, which was more than ten meters long, on the shoulder of the Dark Steel Mech. At the same time, he controlled the body of the Dark Steel Mech to lean forward slightly, and the wing blades behind it spread out together, making a preparation for a sprint.

Immediately afterwards...

Peng——! !

A dazzling phantom blue flame spurted out from behind the Dark Steel Mech, and a huge magnetic field reaction began to erupt from the power furnace inside the Dark Steel Mech. A scarlet light rose from the eyes of the Dark Steel Mech, and then as the mech sprinted, it dragged a scarlet tail in the dark maze and rushed towards the exit of the maze at a rapid speed.

"Roar--!!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the darkness in the distance. A dragon-shaped abyss creature with a body as huge as a hill and two humps on its back seemed to be startled by the movement of the Dark Steel Mech when it was sprinting. It roared and rushed towards the Dark Steel Mech, and then...

boom!
[Hint: The Abyss Derivative has been killed...]

A pitch-black sword light burst out from the end of the giant metal sword, and Xin Lailai controlled the Dark Steel Mech to turn around and slash, splitting the giant beast in front of him and the surrounding rock pillars in half with one sword. Then he controlled the Dark Steel Mech to rush at full speed, rushing towards the depths of darkness with a sharp sonic boom.

So… so strong.

In the cockpit, Bell Crany, who was trying to shrink his body to prevent himself from interfering with Sinlailai's operation, was looking at the picture on the screen, his red eyes full of shock.

The power displayed by Xin Lailai when operating the Dark Steel Mecha is on completely different levels from that displayed when he operates it.

In the face of Belcrany's shock, Xin Lailai did not explain anything, but continued to concentrate on developing the psychic field and focusing his energy on controlling the Dark Steel Mech.

In fact, the strength of the Dark Steel Mecha has never been weak.

Although the Dark Steel Mech had its cockpit cut open by the opponent's sword before it even had a chance to perform in the battle with Extreme Blade Abyss Shadow, that was purely because the Extreme Blade Abyss Shadow's slashing strength was too abnormal, rather than a problem with the Dark Steel Mech itself.

You have to know that this is a powerful mecha that can challenge the third-level overlord-class units. If it is given to other third-level contractors, this mecha alone will be enough to enter the top echelon of the third level or even the super top echelon.

If they had not encountered the space storm, with just the two dark steel mechas that Xiaobai prepared for him and Ling Yuzi, the role they could have played in the battle would even be comparable to that of Dao Ji who had already broken through the barrier of real attributes.

[Hint: Killed...]

[Hint: Killed...]

[Hint: Killed...]

The cold warning sound rang out frantically. In the dark cave, the faint blue flame and scarlet light were like the god of death. No one survived wherever they passed.

Killing flourishes here.
