Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 147: Chapter 7: Planning

The death of the black Contractor shocked all the Contractors, and their gazes at Su Xiao noticeably changed.

This scene brought relief to Chen, a Mage, who let out a sigh of relief.

The situation in Zone 3 was already chaotic enough, with him and Blood Rose forming their own groups, making it hard to tell who had the advantage.

The powerful combat strength demonstrated by Su Xiao made Chen very apprehensive, worried about the emergence of a third force.

However, after seeing Su Xiao’s ’ferocious’ personality, Chen was completely relieved.

The giant’s attack continued, and at the forefront, Wild Bull started to flinch after witnessing the terror of the Strange Species, leaving other melee contractors in misery.

If Wild Bull, this wild tank, backed down, they would bear the brunt.

Bam.

Two five-meter-level Giants squeezed towards the entrance simultaneously. As two Giants tried to pass through at the same time, it became noticeably crowded, yet the Giants, unfazed by pain, kept pushing in despite the rough stone walls tearing their flesh. The two five-meter-level Giants successively attacked Wild Bull.

This scared Wild Bull too much, retreating continuously while gripping his tower shield tightly, allowing the two five-meter-level Giants into the wall.

”Wild Bull, what are you doing...?”

A melee Contractor’s eyes went red, as the main tank withdrew, placing the melee Contractors in imminent danger.

Two huge hands reached out, grabbing two Contractors, one managed to retreat quickly, while the other was too slow and was caught entirely by a Giant.

Crack, crack.

The brittle sounds of bones breaking came one after another, and the captured Contractor couldn’t even scream, dropping his long-handled axe.

The Giant glanced at the Contractor in its hand, tossed him into its mouth like candy, followed by horrifying chewing sounds.

This scene made many Contractors’ scalps tingle; for the first time, the front line suffered casualties, and it was being chewed alive.

The resolve of the melee Contractors wavered, feeling unbalanced after seeing the laid-back ranged Contractors.

Why should they face the Giants head-on while those people hide in the distance?

Yet they forgot, the road was of their choosing, and any consequences must be borne by them.

”You’re the most useless tank I’ve ever seen.”

Su Xiao walked past Wild Bull. Compared to the Queen he had fought before, Wild Bull didn’t even measure up. Until her death, the Queen never backed down a step, exuding a spirit that as long as she’s alive, her teammates won’t get hurt. Indeed, until she fell, Su Xiao didn’t manage to harm her teammates.

”You...”

Wild Bull wanted to retort, but upon seeing Su Xiao was the one speaking, he shuddered, turned his head aside, and remained silent.

Due to the tense battle situation, Su Xiao reluctantly stepped forward. Since his strength was already exposed, he planned to compete for the first prize in the defensive battle.

The first prize was five Soul Crystals (small), which, with them, Su Xiao’s Sword Technique could be elevated to level 10.

Su Xiao walked slowly to the cave entrance, and with one slash, he severed a Giant’s lower leg. The Giant fell forward, and Su Xiao, avoiding the massive body, slashed open the Giant’s nape.

The cave entrance provided excellent terrain: handling one to two Giants simultaneously, Su Xiao could manage with ease.

However, if the number of Giants exceeded ten, Su Xiao needed to be cautious. Ten Giants could form a human wall, surrounding him entirely, at which point he could only find a way to escape.

If the number of Giants exceeded twenty, and there were Strange Species among them, Su Xiao might very well die in battle.

He was inherently disadvantaged against the Giants; the nape position was just too high unless he learned to use the ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear.’

But mastering the use of the ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear’ wasn’t easy, and he didn’t have the time.

After Su Xiao blocked the cave entrance, other Contractors also cleared out the two five-meter-level Giants.

The defensive battle officially began only now.

Su Xiao blocked the cave entrance in the front, Blood Rose nearby, substituting when Su Xiao rested, with Chen handling fire support from afar, and Entu boosting status for everyone.

The melee Contractors exchanged glances. Now that the front line had stabilized, they became merely spectators.

A melee Contractor silently took out a white-quality gun, firing several shots at the Giant in the cave entrance, with other melee Contractors following suit.

Blood Rose gazed at Su Xiao’s back as he fought the Giants, appearing somewhat worried.

They had a strong ally now, but this ally was somewhat ’unapproachable.’

After an hour on the defense line, as Su Xiao took the opportunity to retreat upon slaughtering another Giant, he spoke, ”Your turn.”

Su Xiao looked at Blood Rose. With so many Contractors present, he rested immediately upon feeling fatigued, just in case.

”Understood.”

Blood Rose unhesitatingly took over, thrusting with her long spear, shredding a Giant’s legs. After stabbing a dozen times, the Giant fell, and she began attacking its nape.

With Su Xiao’s prior demonstration, Blood Rose found a way to deal with the Giants on the ground, but her slaying speed was significantly slower than Su Xiao’s.

Su Xiao would sever legs in one cut, the nape in the next, clean and swift, allowing for a moment’s rest while the Giant vaporized.

Sitting on the ruins of a house, Su Xiao took out fresh water and drank a large mouthful.

”Looks like I was correct, the strongest in Zone 3 is indeed you.”

Entu approached, radiating a full aura, exuding a sense of vitality.

Entu was the most relaxed on the battlefield, needing only to release various buff states.

Though the role seemed glowing, it bore little combat effectiveness.

”I’m surprised you haven’t joined any adventure group. With your buff skills, no adventure group would refuse you.”

Entu gave a bitter laugh.

”My adventure group... is gone, never to fight alongside those brothers again, and I will never join any adventure group, ever again.”

”I see.”

Su Xiao didn’t pry into Entu’s story; he had no interest in others’ privacy as it was an annoying behavior.

”Back to the matter, how do we block this cave entrance? I checked that large stone before. Unless the power attribute reaches above 30 points, even if lifted, it can’t be moved far.”

Entu’s reasoning was sound; the defense task wasn’t just blocking Giants but finding a way to seal the cave entrance.

There were three cave entrances in total, and in Su Xiao’s view, having been assigned to Zone 3, sealing the Zone 3 entrance should complete the defense task.

Only after completing the defense task could he explore the Giant world and fulfill the hunting mission, so the sooner done, the better.

”Entu, you don’t need to fight, so you have plenty of time, so...”

Su Xiao whispered a few words to Entu, surprising him.

”This...,”

Entu glanced at the storyline protagonist, Eren.

”Our appearance already disrupts the storyline, so there’s no need to continue it. Without Eren transforming into a Giant, no one can lift that stone. I don’t believe the leaders of the other two zones have power attributes above thirty points; even if they did, would they come to help us?

This is not something I will force you to do. Whether you’re willing is your decision.”

After Su Xiao’s words, Entu remained silent.

”Other Contractors will probably have opinions.”

”I’ll kill whoever has opinions.”

”Strength brings confidence, I’ll join this round. When do we start?”

”At night, perhaps. Now there are too many people with prying eyes, and more than eighty percent of them won’t stay when night falls and Giants can’t move.”
