Samsara Paradise: vests everywhere

The group of them acted separately. Lin Jiu, Dai Mengmei, and Hong Lian chose a direction and set off alone. Isabella led Gungun in the same direction.

The route Lin Jiu chose was close to the city wall of this ancient city and he explored along the city wall. The quaint city wall on the outskirts of the city seems to have stood here since ancient times. The wall, which is more than a hundred meters high, is already covered with bits of moss. This is the trace of the passage of time and evidence of the vicissitudes of life.

The Heavenly Lock on his left arm extended to the city wall and locked an object. Lin Jiu used this to easily climb over the city wall. In this city, there are few buildings that are taller than those in the outer city. From the top of this city wall, which seemed to be built to defend against some enemy, one could almost see the whole city clearly.

You can see more than 90 streets of various sizes in the city, with a strict and regular layout. Most of the houses have black roofs. Except for the roofs, most of the lines of urban buildings look pale. Most of the buildings are made of gray-white stones and are arranged in an orderly manner. Orderly. However, the originally white walls are now mottled and blackened, with many signs of peeling off. The stone slabs of the streets are pitted and convex, and the houses along the streets have rotten signs and swaying cloth.

After Lin Jiu looked at the layout of the city, he turned back and looked behind him, which was outside the city. Although he had expected it, Lin Jiu still sighed when he saw that the entire city was wrapped in gray mist.

Even if you haven't come into contact with the gray fog in person, you can tell from the city wall that it is essentially the same thing as the gray fog gate they intercepted outside the Storm Sacrifice on Storm Island.

The entrance to the Storm Sacrificial Site was just a gate with so much demonic fog, which made Lin Jiu very afraid, not to mention the gray fog outside this ghost place that almost covered the entire world. Although it is not known how these demonic fogs were blocked from the city, it is certain that once this blocking effect no longer exists, the city will instantly turn into a dead place. Of course, this city is probably almost dead now.

Lin Jiu didn't need to worry about such a risk for the time being. At least until the Temple of Wedge collapsed completely, the gray mist would be blocked and would not affect them. But in the gray fog, Lin Jiu saw a looming building, and he didn't know what it was. Looking at it gave Lin Jiu an ominous premonition.

I hope the final destination is not that place. The more Lin Jiu thought about it, the stronger his premonition became. In the city, there are many special buildings that are incompatible with the surrounding architectural styles. These buildings were noticed before they carried out their operations. Therefore, the main goal of their team's separate operations was to explore the conditions of these buildings.

Honglian's destination was a tall clock tower with a quarter-hour inlaid on it. People in the entire city could see the time on the quarter-hour as long as they were not indoors.

This bell tower can be seen by the whole city, so it is naturally very tall. Honglian killed some monsters along the way and came to the vicinity of the bell tower. In the city, so far, there are no neutral units that can communicate with each other. These monsters are all humanoid, with different shapes. It is very likely that they were mutated by the former residents here.

And the mutated rat-man they encountered just after entering here is obviously a variant of these humanoid monsters. Not only were they mutated from the residents, they also incorporated rat genes, growing sharp fangs and claws, making them more aggressive.

I don’t know if this bell tower has no important role, so Honglian entered it without much difficulty. After entering the clock tower, Honglian noticed that the interior of the lobby was on a different level from the dilapidated and old atmosphere outside.

There are various ancient clocks placed in the lobby, which are magnificently decorated and full of unique atmosphere. There are white marble pillars standing at the four corners of the lobby, and the surrounding walls are all carved with white stone bricks. Orchids carved from gold bloom beautifully among the white stones. Even if it is placed in a palace, the decoration of the bell tower is worthy of distinction.

It's so quiet... I didn't notice the existence of any living creatures... Alienated creatures often carry a lot of negative aura. Although it has not reached the level of being absorbed by the original sin field, it can still be detected by Honglian.

But after Honglian entered the bell tower, she didn't notice any aura. There is no boss in this different building, but it shouldn't be so quiet. If something went wrong, there must be a monster, and Honglian immediately became more vigilant.

The moment Honglian stepped into the bell tower, at the top of the bell tower, in a room sealed by chains, a black and white armored figure trembled. But there are also several chains on this armor.

This armor's helmet, a pair of shoulders to the arms, the abdomen to the thighs, and the ankles to the entire feet are covered in silver-white armor. On both shoulders, there is a blood-red gemstone inlaid, like a pair of eyes.

When it noticed the presence of Red Lotus, it trembled slightly, causing the chains on the armor to jingle. Kaka...the chain cannot completely control the armor. Perhaps it is also because it has been too long and the power in the chain has been consumed a lot. Now there is movement in the armor and cracks are appearing on the chain.

Huh? When Honglian noticed something was wrong in the bell tower, he noticed that the surrounding walls had cracks inexplicably. Ever since he thought something was wrong with this place, he had been moving cautiously and never touched anything else outside the ground. So there is only one reason for this change. The moment he stepped here, something was triggered.

…

... Lin Jiu, who was about to jump off the city wall, suddenly stopped and looked towards the bell tower. He suddenly felt that his connection with Honglian was cut off by some means. As for the original sin field of Guren's essence, it stands to reason that as long as it has the ability to silence, Guren can be restrained. But in reality, the connection between Honglian and Lin Jiu is not the original sin field, but the soul. Guren's soul comes from a part of Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu has never encountered such a situation since the birth of this special clone of Honglian. Sure enough, the Soul Mist Continent is a paradise for souls, but it can also become a tomb. There are endless abilities targeting the soul, and there is no telling what methods will have the effect.

Lin Jiu avoided many methods because he was immune to damage from souls whose soul strength was lower than his own. But it is hard to guard against abilities that target souls and are not damage-causing abilities. Just like now, he could feel through the reincarnation disk that Honglian's life was not in danger for the time being, but he just couldn't feel Honglian's existence at all. From the source of the soul, it is isolated somewhere.

Honglian may not necessarily be the first to encounter trouble, but he is closely related to Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu can feel it as soon as a situation arises.
