Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1446: Chapter 68: Wait a Minute!

The placement point of the World Core is far away, Su Xiao needs to cross most of the Hot Rainforest Forest. According to the information from Reincarnation Paradise, it is a swamp within the rainforest.

In the central area of the swamp, there’s a not-so-large warm water pool, the placement point of the World Core is inside the pool.

Su Xiao not only needs to delve deep into the Hot Rainforest Forest; the warm water pool in the center is also extremely treacherous. Who knows what creatures might lurk there? Just placing the World Core will earn him 100 Reincarnation Paradise Merit points, indicating the level of danger involved.

Moving through the vine area of the edge zone, Su Xiao reached the edge of the Hot Rainforest Forest.

The smell of soil mixed with decaying vegetation permeated the rainforest. Many believe the air in the rainforest is refreshingly clean, but it is not so in reality.

Bubu Wang wrinkled his nose; the scent of various animal droppings in the rainforest made him uncomfortable, yet he had to track these scents.

Most birthed wild beasts use their droppings and urine to mark territory. If an expanse is filled with the excrement of a single Extreme North Creature, one must be cautious—this creature rules that area.

Diverse colored birds chirped incessantly on the branches, while monkey-like creatures occasionally ogled Su Xiao and Bubu Wang, baring their teeth aggressively.

Su Xiao picked up a pebble from the ground, and with a muffled thud, the pebble shot forward, slicing through the air.

Blood splattered as a grimacing, monkey-like creature standing on a branch was instantly killed; this nuisance creature calls out incessantly, possibly attracting Extreme North Creatures, then sits high watching the commotion.

As one monkey-like creature was killed by a pebble, the surrounding ones immediately fled.

The smell of blood could also bring trouble, prompting Su Xiao and Bubu Wang to leave quickly, venturing deeper into the Hot Rainforest Forest.

Pushing aside a cluster of banana leaves, Su Xiao emerged from waist-high underbrush; in the rainforest, there are no paths, only weeds between the trees, restricting entry for ordinary people.

Su Xiao pulled a leech that was at least 20 centimeters long from the back of his hand; many fear leeches instinctively, but they’re not as terrifying as imagined. Instead, survival experts view them as treasures.

Getting injured in the rainforest is troublesome; leeches are natural decongestants, also providing pain-relief effects.

Seeing Su Xiao pull a leech from his hand, Bubu Wang instinctively backed off several steps, signaling: ”Master, I’m not eating that thing; not even if you hit me.”

Su Xiao never intended for Bubu Wang to eat the leech. Casually tossing it aside, the leech adhered to his body, too frightened to move, let alone feed.

Su Xiao took out a direction pointer and map; the map depicted less than one-tenth of the Hot Rainforest Forest. With it, he judged that he had ventured five kilometers deep into the forest.

All he could see were weeds and trees. In such an environment, losing direction swiftly without a pointer is inevitable.

”The west side hosts natural gold deposits; the north, the Xiluo Tree area.”

Both directions Su Xiao advanced toward posed immense danger.

The natural gold deposit is also known as the Ghost Gold Mine, inhabited by a type of cave-dwelling creature. The Xiluo Tree area is the domain of a type of ant. According to Geya Alliance records, these ants could devour a Patterned Shell Steel Tank within a short time.

After hesitating momentarily, Su Xiao decided to proceed toward the Xiluo Tree area. The reason was simple—unless disturbing the ant nests, the tree ants won’t actively attack humans. These ants possess some intelligence, appearing scary but they mainly feed on trees, avoiding leaving the vicinity of their nests if undisturbed.

As Su Xiao prepared to advance, a sudden sense of crisis emerged.

Bang!

The sound of air bursting came from Su Xiao’s side; he immediately thought it might be a flying needle attack but realized the incoming object moved even faster.

A 100-strength Energy Shield appeared beside Su Xiao; as soon as it formed, a jade-green ’arrow’ shot at it.

With a crisp snap and splattering of green blood, large cracks spread over the Energy Shield.

A roughly 30-centimeter-long green ’arrow’ buried into the Energy Shield. Due to its sturdiness, the green ’arrow’ was stuck inside.

Upon closer inspection, you’d find that it wasn’t truly a green ’arrow’ but a small snake, straightened to about 30 centimeters long.

The green snake’s head was shattered; its body surface covered in green mucus, which was gradually eroding the Energy Shield. The shield’s center turned light green, with signs of spreading outward.

Witnessing this, Su Xiao’s eye twitched; energy-based constructs had been threatened by toxin capable of eroding energy, hinting at its potential power.

Should creatures be pierced by the green snake, toxin from the puncture would cause death before potions could even take effect.

Su Xiao had encountered dozens of such feral creatures, illustrating why the Geya Alliance and Sun Kingdom hesitated to explore the forest on a large scale; its dangers are immense—a seemingly insignificant insect could be lethal, deeming this a forbidden zone for humans and outsiders.

While Su Xiao delved deeper into the Hot Rainforest Forest, Contractors from Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise, and Holy Sanctuary Paradise raced to enter the forest. Avoiding entry within three days would result in death for the Contractors, even those from Apocalypse Paradise, due to judgment from the Void Tree.

...

On the West Sisbane border, Qing Ye, Gulu, Citrus Sister, and others hurried across; momentarily before leaving Sisbane, a massive object appeared in their sights.

”Mechanical Spider?”

Spotting the Mechanical Spider afar, Qing Ye paused.

”It’s someone from Holy Sanctuary Paradise.”

Gulu drew the dagger from her waist.

”Sure?” Qing Ye queried Gulu with a puzzled expression.

”Sure, I broke one of these before.”

”Smash it!”

As she spoke, Citrus Sister vanished.

”Wait!”

Qing Ye shouted, prompting Citrus Sister, who was in a stealth state, to stop.

”They have no intention of stopping; moreover, reaching the Hot Rainforest Forest takes precedence over fighting us.”

”Tch.”

”Little Biitch, one should think before acting. If brains suffice, why rely on hands?”

”I can’t believe you just said that,” Citrus Sister appeared.

”Hurry to the Hot Rainforest Forest; we won’t be ambushed there but will face a death relay. The first to reach gains a natural advantage.”

Qing Ye chuckled as others eyed him, puzzled by his amusement.

”So? The sooner one reaches the rainforest... the greater the advantage?”

Gulu seemed somewhat speechless.

”Exactly.”

”You could’ve said so earlier.”

Gulu sheathed her dagger, snapping fingers as a small convertible SUV appeared.

”Little Biitch, get in.”

Oddly, Gulu invited Citrus Sister aboard.

”You had this handy, but kept it secret? You cunning b****.”

Citrus Sister climbed into the two-seater convertible SUV.

”Wait...”

Vroom!

As Qing Ye raised his hand, the SUV vanished, leaving only a distant black speck visible to him.

With the convertible SUV gone, Citrus Sister remained lying on the ground, bewildered.

”Your waist...”

Qing Ye turned his head, unable to bear witnessing imminent events.

Citrus Sister stiffly lowered her head; a tether resembling a safety belt encircled her waist, joining a long steel cable.

”Hey, hey, wait, wait, this can’t be right. Seriously, Gulu, *****!!”

With Citrus Sister’s panicked shout, she was whisked away, vanishing from sight, leaving Qing Ye trembling violently in the cold wind.
