Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 450: Chapter 22: Taboo

Lorna searched the battlefield through binoculars and quickly spotted Su Xiao.

The limbs of Scorpions flew off, and dark green blood splattered.

A man wielding a long knife was slaughtering on the battlefield. Though surrounded by enemies, the man looked relaxed, dodging attacks while delivering fatal blows to his foes.

The long knife, shimmering with a purple glow, seemed capable of severing any object. Lorna immediately recognized the special glow emanating from the blade as one seen only on enhancements above +7.

Suddenly, the man on the battlefield paused, as if he was brewing something.

Zheng.

The blade aura suddenly appeared! A large number of Scorpions were killed or injured, and Lorna swore she had never seen a Contractor unleash an attack like sword qi or blade aura.

Lorna was stunned. She estimated to herself, if she were to fight that man...

Lorna shook her head, absolutely not letting that happen, definitely not, or she was doomed.

”Is this our enemy?”

Lorna looked around at the others, her expression seemingly saying, are you kidding me?

”Yes, this is our enemy; he wasn’t this monstrous before.”

The scheming woman bit her thumbnail, thinking quickly.

Candy spoke up, ”Leader, do we really have to seek revenge on him, or can we just not...”

Although Candy was a timid girl, she had a relatively strong heart, and after almost being wiped out, she didn’t leave the Other Shore Flower Adventure Group.

”No.”

”No.”

The unanimous answer came from the scheming woman and Feng.

Feng’s master, Black and White, was killed by Su Xiao. Her feud with Su Xiao was irreconcilable, while the scheming woman had her own considerations.

In the Other Shore Flower Adventure Group, the scheming woman could be considered the one who understands Su Xiao the most.

After pondering for a while, the scheming woman said, ”Lorna, you can choose to leave the group now.”

”Are you bullshitting me?”

Lorna glanced at the scheming woman and then turned to look at Cold Moon.

Memories surged, long ago, in a Level 2 world, Lorna was lying on the street covered in wounds, her face full of blood.

”Candy, there’s someone injured here, not an enemy Contractor, heal her.”

”Okay.”

”Cold Moon, shouldn’t we just leave her, she’s a stranger.”

”Survival is tough.”

...

Recall ended here, with her strength, Lorna could be highly valued even in a large adventure group; without special reasons, why would she join the five-member Other Shore Flower Adventure Group.

She searched for the names Cold Moon and Candy for a long time, yet Cold Moon still didn’t know she was the dying Contractor back then.

”Fine, consider it bullshit then.”

The scheming woman adjusted her glasses, a smile surfacing. She had distrusted Lorna before, but now she seemed temporarily trustworthy.

”Here’s how it goes, let’s recall the feud with the Sword Man.”

The scheming woman picked up a wooden stick and dotted three points on the ground.

”This is Queen, Yezi, and Black and White. The three of them used an Exemption Scroll to enter a low-level world, their strength reduced, and then fought with the Sword Man and died.

We don’t need to investigate the reasons in detail. It’s meaningless now.”

The scheming woman smoothed out the three points on the ground, and Feng, nearby, pouted.

”In the Giant world, we sensed the Blood Seal on the Sword Man, then started a battle we couldn’t win. A normal member suddenly went berserk, teleporting us away.

Cold Moon, is the identity of that ordinary member still undisclosed?”

The scheming woman looked at Cold Moon.

Cold Moon shook her head.

”No. Reincarnation Paradise warned me that if disclosed, the consequences would be severe.”

The scheming woman drew patterns on the ground with a branch.

”So, let me ask you this, why did the Sword Man approach our adventure group back then? You know, he didn’t need to get close to us for the attack and defense missions, and team Blood Seal isn’t confidential info. Did he want to face us head-on?”

The scheming woman looked at everyone, her Intelligence was 156. Though not excellent in combat, her deduction skills were strong.

After the scheming woman’s words, the women were somewhat puzzled.

”Why did the Sword Man approach us in the Giant world? Not sure.”

Blood Rose, with an Intelligence noticeably lower than 120, remained completely confused throughout.

”The Sword Man’s target might have been that normal team member, otherwise, he wouldn’t have approached us. With a personality like the Queen’s, she would have definitely revealed the Other Shore Flower’s name.

So, knowing our identity and aware of the potential appearance of a Blood Seal, yet the Sword Man chose to approach us, that’s quite puzzling, linking to the abnormalities of that normal member. Yes, that’s it.”

The scheming woman bit her thumbnail hard.

”I’m just speculating, could the Sword Man be different from us, having special missions every time he enters a Derivative World, like killing some special Contractors. Back then, we all saw it, that ordinary member’s ability was very abnormal, and Reincarnation Paradise would block her words, a situation never seen before.

Always having special missions, rapidly growing strength, strong ability against Contractors...”

The scheming woman began her endless chatter, not noticing the five eyes staring at her with fear.

Cold Moon’s scalp tingled, the scheming woman’s voice abruptly ceased, her words were blocked by Reincarnation Paradise!

”Stop it, Little Black.”

Cold Moon shouted abruptly, the scheming woman was stunned.

”What’s wrong?”

”Just now...Reincarnation Paradise blocked what you were saying.”

Only then did the scheming woman notice the fearful gazes around her, her heart started racing, and the fear and thrill made her subconsciously clench her thighs.

”Looks like I guessed right, huh...”

The scheming woman’s face changed.

”What’s the matter?” The nearby people hurriedly asked.

The scheming woman lowered her eyelids, she thought of something about Su Xiao’s identity, an extremely special identity that, if revealed, would lead to being hunted by other Contractors.

”We might not need to confront him actively.”

The scheming woman smiled sinisterly, she thought of a plan.

”Little Black, what’s that on your hand?”

With a thin finger, Candy wiped the back of the scheming woman’s hand.

”What?”

”What’s this blue dot on your hand?”

The scheming woman looked at the back of her hand, seeing a small blue dot appearing on it, growing at an invisible speed, seemingly forming a mark.

The scheming woman’s expression changed rapidly.

”Little Black, what was the method you mentioned before?”

Upon hearing Cold Moon’s question, the scheming woman shook her head.

”Nothing, I might have guessed wrong.”

The scheming woman’s expression returned to normal, as if weighing pros and cons.

”Let’s give up on revenge; my previous deductions were wrong, there’s a lead I just can’t figure out, so those deductions might not be valid.”

Some taboos must not be touched, even Su Xiao would avoid them at all costs, the scheming woman had inadvertently touched a taboo!

The reason the scheming woman insisted on revenge earlier was because she knew, after fighting Su Xiao, both sides had formed a blood feud. Even if they didn’t pursue it, it wouldn’t matter, as no one would leave an adventure group that could seek revenge at any time alone.

...

On the battlefield, Su Xiao was wiping his Dragon Slash. The battle between the Red-skinned natives and the Insect Tribe had come to an end, with both sides pulling back a distance.

Dozens of Red-skinned natives stood not far away, seemingly waiting for someone.

An elderly native stepped out, wearing a feather ornament on his head, causing the other natives to bow and step back.

”Mighty outsider, the Yasenman Tribe welcomes you to the Red soil area.”

The elderly native smiled warmly, seemingly without malice, holding food and fresh water in his hands, seemingly prepared to offer them to Su Xiao.

[Hint: The Hunter’s heroic performance on the battlefield has gained him favor with the ’Yasenman Tribe’, Affection Level: Friendly (21/500).]

Su Xiao’s eyes shone with strange light; these red-skinned natives were different from the Earth Tribe he had encountered before, and this elderly native was speaking in a language he could understand.

The theme of the survival trial is survival. What happens if, on the basis of survival, one explores this world? The answer is great benefits.
