Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

After Lin Yi dug out the parasite egg from the old lord's chest, the old lord's breathing became much more stable than before.

Lin Yi held the parasite egg in front of him and observed it. When the egg was placed near the candlelight, the parasite egg began to become active, and the membrane wrapped around the parasite also changed due to the abnormal movement of the parasite inside.

"There are obvious signs of transformation, and it is probably a product of witchcraft."

Lin Yi squeezed the black egg with his fingers, crushing it, and a sweet smell spread. This thing contains a lot of vitality, so the smell it emits is naturally not unpleasant.

This kind of parasite is obviously not produced by nature. The reason is very simple. This parasite will absorb the vitality of the host without restraint, and its infectiousness is also very strong.

If it is produced by nature, then at least one area will become a dead place.

Moreover, Lin Yi felt a weak elemental fluctuation on these parasites. It was obvious that the source of these parasites should be a certain witch.

According to the old lord's narration, the two of them also had a general understanding of the situation in this city.

There were several elemental witches collecting vitality. The black beetle was called "black fish worm". It was an aquatic insect parasitic under the belly of fish in the river. After being transformed by the witch, this thing was transformed into a "collector".

The transformed black fish worm will die immediately after laying eggs. The young eggs it lays will not hatch like normal insect eggs, but will continue to absorb the vitality of the host.

This young egg is in the form of energy, which is extremely special. Therefore, ordinary doctors have no way to successfully remove it from the body of a normal person in this situation.

Only Lin Yi or Su Xiao can successfully remove this parasite from the body of an ordinary person with their own abilities.

"How many rivers are there in the city?"

"Only one, where people in the city get water."

Hearing the guard's answer, Lin Yi and Su Xiao both understood that this river was probably the source of infection in this incident.

The witch released the modified insects into the water source, and then through the process of people getting water and using it, successfully infected the entire city's population, so as to continuously provide themselves with sufficient vitality.

However, the vitality of a city, it seems that one of the witches should have reached the critical point of breakthrough, and the probability is three to four critical points, not four to five critical points.

If it is a fourth-stage spell witch, then the people in this city will not be able to hold on until Lin Yi and Su Xiao arrive.

With the means of a fourth-stage spell witch, the entire city will be directly turned into a waste city within a day.

"My lord, please go this way." The confidant attendant led the way in front, and Lin Yi and Su Xiao followed behind.

As soon as they walked out of the castle, a strong smell of burning suddenly rushed towards them.

Half of the city had been burned to charcoal. In this situation, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of pungent and unpleasant smell was permeating the city at this moment.

Half of the civilians were displaced, and the streets were full of grief. The civilians tortured by the parasitic eggs wailed loudly. Not everyone had the patience of the old lord.

As soon as he arrived at the street, Lin Yi saw several shrunken corpses. According to his perception, the parasitic eggs in the corpses were still there. If the witch wanted to get this thing, it would not be a simple process.

"How to deal with these corpses?"

"Burn them all together."

"Who is responsible."

"Lord Avakin is responsible."

The confidant servant lowered his head while speaking, and his eyes were a little evasive.

"Bring him to see me."

"This..." The confidant attendant immediately showed difficulty, and hesitated for a while before saying: "My lord, it's like this, there are too many corpses in the city now, and I haven't seen Lord Avakin for a long time."

"Oh, really? Then forget it, just take me to the water source." After hearing this, Lin Yi thought about it for a while and changed his request.

"Yes, sir."

The confidant attendant quickened his pace. His name is Kan. In this world, the name of a single word is both a name and a surname.

Kan is relatively thin. Although he looks weak, as the confidant of the old king, his fighting ability should not be too weak.

While Kan was leading the way in front, Lin Yi and Su Xiao behind were talking to each other in the temporary team channel.

Doctor: "What do you mean?"

Bai Ye: "It's a big problem. There are problems with this servant and the official who handled the corpse. Otherwise, the witches would not be able to get vitality from the corpse in time."

Doctor: "Internal and external troubles, no wonder this city fell so quickly."

Lin Yi and Su Xiao both noticed Kan's eyes just now. As fourth-level contractors, they would naturally not fail to notice such a small matter.

In order not to alert the enemy, Lin Yi deliberately found an excuse to change the topic, so as not to scare Kan away, and then he could use him to lead out the guys hiding behind.

Half an hour later, the two successfully arrived at the water source on the east side of the city.

It was an artificial river with a width of about five meters and a depth of more than ten meters.

On both sides of the river, there were stairs built with rocks to facilitate civilians to collect water.

From the depth, this was originally a natural river, and it was so neat after artificial construction.

Several fishing boats were floating in the river. This river was not only for daily water, but also for civilians to fish.

In addition, this river is also connected to a large river outside the city. In this way, it has many functions such as transporting goods by water.

It is precisely because of the existence of this river that the city of Nikodo has been as prosperous as it was in the past.

Arriving next to the river, Lin Yi threw down an instrument to detect water quality.

After the instrument sank to the bottom, Lin Yi took out a handheld computer and turned on the computer. Numerous red dots appeared densely on the screen.

These red dots represent the content of parasites in the river water. Considering the alarming number currently present, as long as nearby residents draw water for drinking, there is a high probability that they will be infected by these parasites.

"Go back and rest."

Kan led the way, and the group turned back toward the castle. Not long after the group walked, two women in black robes walked out of an abandoned house.

"The witch hunter has arrived." One of the women spoke first, with a hint of solemnity in her voice.

"It's just a white-level witch hunter. This is a good thing. Find a way to deal with him secretly so as not to attract the attention of other witch hunters. If a witch hunter comes here and dies here, it can buy us at least ten days. , that’s enough.”

After a few minutes or so, a figure sneakily arrived at the river. He seemed a little nervous.

"Things are put down and disappear before my eyes."

"Yes, yes."

The person who came was a man. After he gently put down the cloth bag in his hand, he hurriedly left the place as if he had been granted amnesty, and disappeared in a moment.

…

The old lord's castle, in the bedroom on the third floor.

Boom, boom, boom...

There was a knock on the wooden door. Su Xiao, who was drawing a sketch, looked up at the wooden door. Lin Yi stood up and opened the door.

"Sir, lunch is here."

A maid pushed a dining cart into the room, and the dining cart stopped in front of Su Xiao.

"I know, let's go out."

When Lin Yi said this, he picked up the wine bottle on the table and started pouring wine into the cup.

Upon seeing this, the maid hurriedly bowed respectfully, then exited the room, and the room returned to its previous quiet state.

"Is there a problem with that maid just now?" Melody looked at Lin Yi and Su Xiao. Although she also knew that people in this city had big problems, she didn't expect them to be so big. It was like playing Werewolf.

"No, she is most likely just a pawn to be used."

Lin Yi glanced at the red wine in the cup, and then covered the wine with the power of the abyss.

Almost instantly, the originally calm wine began to surge as if it had come to life, just like a water glass being put on a fire and boiling.

Densely packed black parasites emerged from the drink, and the scene was truly nerve-wracking.

It was obvious that the witch had tampered with their meals.

It had not been more than an hour since the two arrived in this city, and the witch had already received news about the two of them.

This alone is enough to show the extent to which the people in this city have been eroded.

"It seems like it should be a small group, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for them to be so bold."

Lin Yi came to the window and looked out at the half-burned city.

He could feel that there was a line of sight staring at him in the dark, but there were too many refugees wandering around outside. In the vast sea of ​​people, Lin Yi couldn't find the line of sight among the refugees for a while. The source of prying eyes.

"Most likely."

While the two were discussing, the door was pushed open, and Kan, the old lord's confidant, walked into the room.

"Sir, Avakin has been found, but..." Kan paused slightly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Is he dead?" Lin Yi frowned and asked first.

"Yes, when Lord Avakin was found, he had been dead for more than three days." Kan sighed softly.

"Oh." After Su Xiao heard this, he put down the quill he was using without expression and looked sideways at Kan.

"In other words, those witches found more suitable candidates and no longer need Avakin to collect the corpses?"

"Eh~"

Kan looked at Lidya Su in confusion, as if he didn’t understand what Lidya Su was talking about.

"If I were one of those witches and had destroyed 'Nikdodo City' to this extent, the people around the local lord would have to buy it off or seize the blame. Compared with those houses that are leaking air everywhere and full of burnt smell. , the old lord’s castle is obviously more suitable for living.”

While talking, Su Xiao was observing the changes in Kan's expression. The more Kan listened, the more confused he became. Judging from his expression, there seemed to be no problem.

Is this really the case? Only after doing something wrong would you deliberately pretend to be so calm.

If Kan is from the old lord's side, although his expression will not be shocked, he will also start to be suspicious and worried about the old lord's safety.

"You're useless."

After saying this, Su Xiao took out the dagger and nailed Kan to the wooden door. Melody never expected that Su Xiao would suddenly turn against her and take action. Only Lin Yi seemed to have guessed what Su Xiao was doing.

"Sure enough, did this loser reveal any flaws?"

After Su Xiao took action, the sound of high heels came from behind the door, and then a witch with a long stick appeared in the darkness.

This witch's outfit is quite special. She is not wearing a common robe. Instead, she is tightly wrapped in a black leather coat, which fully outlines her slim figure.

Lin Yi even saw two soul crystals at both ends of the long stick.

After Su Xiao discovered this, the Dragon-Slaying Flash in his hand faintly revealed a frightening cold light. It was obvious that Su Xiao was interested in the soul crystal on the witch's weapon.

Ding~

The woman in black pressed the long metal stick against the ground, causing stone chips to fly. Although she was slender, it could be seen from this action that she was definitely a powerful opponent.

"It's so calm and commendable."

Another female voice came, also coming from the darkness outside the door.

Not long after, a woman dressed as a lady slowly walked out.

She wore a black gauze on her head, and the thin gauze curtain just blocked the upper half of her face, revealing only her unusually coquettish red lips. In this slightly dim environment, there was a unique look. The charm.

"Are you really calm? Maybe you are too frightened to speak. It's not like you two have never seen the witch hunter kneel down and beg for mercy."

There was another unfamiliar female voice, this time coming from the window.

She is also a witch. She is sitting leisurely on the window sill. She is wearing brown loose clothes and has neat short blond hair. There are at least a dozen pockets scattered on the clothes, and I don’t know if they are all filled with them. Got some weird stuff.

Three witches appeared together and surrounded the three people in the room.

These three witches were all third-stage black witches. In their eyes, Melody in the room was not taken seriously at all.

She's just a white witch, her combat power is almost negligible.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao are just white hunters. In their eyes, white hunters are just children waiting to be fed.

Three witches showed up on their own initiative because what the team had done before had shocked them. They went straight to the water source as soon as they entered the city. This was the beginning of their plan.

"Hmph, if you were more stupid, you might be able to live a few more days. It's a pity that you are so smart, but you have to go to places you shouldn't go." The noble-looking witch tilted her head slightly. Those bright red lips stared at Lin Yi with a half-smile, and his words were full of ridicule.

"Stop talking nonsense with him here. Killing him directly is the safest way." The witch holding the metal rod said in a cold tone. She had the unique demeanor of a killer and acted decisively.

"What's the rush? They can't escape."

The witch with short blond hair smiled. She seemed not to care about everything, and her arrogant character could be seen.

These three witches have different personalities and characteristics.

The lady likes to tease others and gain a sense of superiority; the woman in black leather is ruthless and only wants to solve the trouble quickly; the girl with short blond hair is extremely arrogant and doesn't care about everything around her.

"There are only three of you witches in the city?"

Su Xiao finally spoke. The current opportunity can easily extract information. When the victory is in hand, the more arrogant a person is, the easier it is for him to let down his guard.

"Why, Bai level..."

"Shut up."

Just as the blonde witch was about to speak, the woman in leather clothes shouted.

It can be seen that among the three witches, the woman in leather is the real leader who plays a leading role.

"Do it."

The short stick in the leather-clad woman's hand flipped, and the avatar behind her appeared. She looked like a short elf with pointed ears and slightly dark skin.

This avatar is holding two daggers, its skin is slightly dark, and dark elements are diffused around it.

Lin Yi glanced at the three witches, and then began to apply various buffs to Su Xiao.

Feeling the power beginning to surge in her body, Su Xiao let out a sigh of relief. The Dragon Slayer Flash in her hand began to be unsheathed, and the handle of the knife was held in Su Xiao's hand.

Su Xiao disappeared out of thin air, and when he appeared, he was already in front of the blond witch.

Seeing this, the blonde witch sitting on the window sill quickly clasped her hands together. In an instant, a dazzling white light spread out in all directions with her as the center point.

With a violent roar, the surrounding buildings began to shatter and collapse, and in the light, an extremely large incarnation emerged.

Zheng!

Light blue slashes streaked across the body. This slash first penetrated the chest of the blonde witch, and then struck the neck of the avatar behind her.

The gravel flew, and the blonde witch had already jumped up, but when the sword light struck her, her body below the chest lost consciousness.

"Oh?"

The blond witch in mid-air was a little surprised.

Poof, a thin line of blood suddenly appeared in the center of the blonde witch's head, and her pupils quickly lost their luster.

As far as the third-stage witches are concerned, although they have strong melee capabilities, if they are approached by Su Xiao, they will basically be sentenced to death.

On the other side, Lin Yi's figure had also appeared next to the noble female witch.

The noble lady's incarnation is not a human form, but a huge red python. Just by looking at its appearance, you can tell that this thing is definitely poisonous.

After the python appeared, it immediately spit out a mouthful of venom towards Lin Yi, hoping to force Lin Yi away.

But Lin Yi opened two layers of the Hercules Shield in front of him. After the dark purple venom was sprayed on the Hercules Shield, there was a sharp sound of stinging.

Zheng.

The black sword light flashed, and the blade directly pierced the noble lady's heart. Lin Yi flicked his wrist slightly, and the sword blade went up, directly splitting the noble witch's head in two from bottom to top.

Her head was cut in half, and it was obvious that the witch would not survive.

In five seconds, two of the witch team that originally surrounded Lin Yi and Su Xiao had died, and now only the witch in leather clothes was left alive.

"How is it possible? Are you white hunters?"

The leather-clad witch hurriedly held the long stick in her hand horizontally in front of her chest to prevent being beheaded by Lin Yi and Su Xiao.

But unfortunately, just when the leather-clad woman was looking for an opportunity to escape, Lin Yi opened his palm towards her, and five dark soul threads appeared on Lin Yi's fingers.

At the moment the dark soul threads appeared, the neck and joints of the leather-clad witch's limbs showed clear marks left by the dark soul threads.

Lin Yi retracted his palm, and the dark soul threads quickly retracted. The leather-clad witch was like a piece of pork hanging in the air, and her body swayed slightly as the dark soul threads pulled.

The leather witch tried to struggle, but the dark soul thread was like a steel rope, motionless, and it tightened her.

As for the incarnation of the dark element, Su Xiao tore it apart in a few strokes.

Melody stood aside and her mouth was almost closed.

Melody was not present when Keith was hunted last time, so she did not see the scene of Lin Yi and Su Xiao fighting, and did not have a direct understanding of the combat power of the two.

Now Melody finally knew what kind of witch hunting team she followed. These were three third-stage black witches!

As a result, they were wiped out in the hands of Lin Yi and Su Xiao before they could even last ten seconds. Even the combat power of those red hunters was not so outrageous.

"Cough cough cough..."

As the dark soul thread tightened more and more, the leather witch felt that breathing became more and more difficult.

Every time the leather witch tried to breathe, she could only make a series of painful coughs.

Lin Yi had no habit of being sympathetic to women. The reason why he spared her life was because he thought she might be able to get some useful information.

"I ask, you answer."

Su Xiao walked to the side of the leather witch with the Dragon Slash. The blood of the blonde witch was still dripping from the blade of the Dragon Slash.

At this moment, Su Xiao did not hide his own breath. The strong smell of blood continued to flow out of Su Xiao's body, washing away the perception of the leather witch.

The leather witch dared to guarantee that the most terrifying witch she had ever seen might not have killed more than one-tenth of Su Xiao. With such a strong blood, how many people did this monster kill?

"You say."

The leather witch lowered her head. She was not the kind of person who was not afraid of death.

"There are other witches in the city." Su Xiao began to ask.

"No... no." The leather witch uttered these two words with difficulty. Lin Yi's dark soul thread was too tight. Her face had begun to turn purple and she might die at any time.

Seeing this, Lin Yi loosened the dark soul thread around her neck a little.

With this chance to breathe, the leather witch seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and gasped heavily.

"Only you three?"

"Yes." The leather witch did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly responded. At this moment, she just wanted to answer the question as soon as possible to save her life.

"Who ordered you?"

"It was... Lady Mira."

"Mira?"

Su Xiao took out the bounty order he carried with him, and soon he found a bounty order with a bounty of 580 gold coins.

Mira, a fourth-stage elemental witch, a blood witch, with a bounty of 580 gold coins, had destroyed 4 human cities.

A fourth-stage elemental witch would be a city-destroying witch, and a fifth-stage elemental witch would be a natural disaster.

"Where is she?"

"Outside the city... farm." The leather witch hurriedly told Mira's location.

"Very good, you are useless."

After the other party finished saying this, Lin Yi moved his index finger, and the dark soul thread began to tighten.

With a slight sound, the leather witch's head was directly cut off by the dark soul thread cleanly. (End of this chapter)
