Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 836: Chapter 67: Ice and Fire

Three large Soul Crystals and a treasure chest appeared in Su Xiao’s hand.

The value of the large Soul Crystal needs no further explanation. To quickly enhance the Sword Technique Master, it’s essential to use this item.

As for the ”Golden Quality Equipment Chest,” this is intriguing. It can randomly produce a piece of Golden Quality Equipment, meaning that even if Su Xiao’s luck is poor, he can still acquire Golden Quality Equipment by opening this chest. It’s just a matter of the rating, which ranges from 310 to 400 points, and Su Xiao is confident he can get equipment with a rating of 400 points, well, probably.~

Su Xiao used up a golden consumable to kill Duke Lan, and afterward, he still needs several bottles of No.1 Elixir; otherwise, the true poison damage of 3 points per second would be enough to take his life.

Looking at Lan’s corpse, Su Xiao let out a sigh of relief; this formidable enemy was finally dead. With such a strong foe lurking in the shadows threatening him, he didn’t dare participate in the Contractor melee.

Although Duke Lan was successfully killed, Su Xiao was severely injured and urgently needed to find a safe place to rest.

Bubu Wang ran out from the bushes, its Ice and Snow Goddess’ Aura slowing Su Xiao’s Life Value loss by a third.

Not only that, but Bubu Wang also used Loyal Guardian (Active) to heal Su Xiao, recovering 60% of Su Xiao’s Life Value.

Su Xiao’s Life Value, which had dropped to the danger line, quickly recovered, and the severe pain all over his body noticeably diminished.

”Find a hidden place, one that’s ventilated, safe, and not easily discovered.”

”Woof.”

Bubu Wang turned and ran deeper into the wild grass. It had already preemptively found a safe spot before the battle to avoid Su Xiao’s severe injuries afterward.

Five minutes later, Bubu Wang led Su Xiao to the entrance of a cave, where it was pitch black inside.

Bubu Wang dashed into the cave first, and a few seconds later, sounds of fighting could be heard from inside.

”Roar! Ow Ow ~”

A bear, bruised and swollen, staggered out of the cave, with bite marks visible on its chubby paws.

The bear’s big round eyes were filled with grievance. It had been sleeping soundly at home when suddenly, a thief broke in.

Can Brother Bear tolerate this? Can it? Of course it can. The intruder was too strong, and Brother Bear was doubting life after being beaten, so it fled.

As it fled to the cave entrance, Brother Bear saw a human covered in blood. If it were before, Brother Bear would have casually eliminated this human, but this human’s aura was too terrifying.

With a thud, the bear lay flat in front of Su Xiao, holding its head with its paws.

Su Xiao walked past the bear, and after entering the cave, Brother Bear took off running, terrified. It was scared so badly by Su Xiao that it ran upright and fast.

Sitting against the cave wall, Su Xiao found the cave ventilated well without any odor. He took out two bottles of No.1 Elixir and some bandages, beginning to treat his injuries while using Blue Steel Shadow energy to annihilate the deadly poison inside.

About an hour later, Su Xiao awoke from his nap.

”Good, I can continue fighting.”

Ice and Snow Goddess’ Aura + No.1 Elixir + Blue Steel Shadow Energy Detoxify Toxin allowed Su Xiao recover quickly, with no issues in terms of stamina. He was now full of energy; the fight with Duke Lan lasted no more than 5 minutes due to its intensity. Both knew each other’s abilities well, so the battle didn’t last long.

Leaving the cave with Bubu Wang, Su Xiao, having recovered 80%, headed deep into the ruins, which is District 2 of the Contractor melee.

After a few minutes of rapid travel, Su Xiao heard the booming sound of explosions coming from the Natural Labyrinth in District 2.

Contractors on both sides were still fighting fiercely in District 2, with hints of the Apocalypse Paradise contractors breaking through. Advantage in numbers shouldn’t be ignored, and Reincarnation Paradise side won’t just hold District 2; the stone bridge behind is more suitable for defense.

Seeing this, Su Xiao sneakily entered District 2. He was now behind the Apocalypse Paradise contractors. These Apocalypse Paradise contractors would never dream that someone from Reincarnation Paradise would be behind them, especially since they’d cleared out infiltrating contractors at least a dozen times.

The more unexpected something is, the more likely it occurs. Su Xiao edged toward a white-robed Priest from behind, holding his Slaughter Dagger. This was a healing Contractor.

The white-robed Priest wore a relaxed expression, positioned behind many teammates and protected by terrain, reducing the likelihood of enemy attacks.

Watching those frontline Contractors bathing in blood and fighting, the white-robed Priest’s lips curled. He felt his wisest decision was choosing a healing profession, which offered generous treatment and wasn’t dangerous, requiring only skills released from the team rear. The lives of the frontline were in his hands; the feeling of controlling others’ lives was nice.

Thinking of this, the white-robed Priest yawned, wishing the war would end soon and victoriously. With ample returns, he could continue getting stronger, living carefree in the real world with tea and plenty of ladies.

”I wonder if that woman Peggy misses me, this damn War World, when...”

Before finishing the sentence, the white-robed Priest felt a tingle in his throat, followed by weakness and rapid plunging into darkness.

Slashing the white-robed Priest’s throat, Su Xiao pushed forward. Undoubtedly, this was a godsend opportunity to strike the enemy rear.

Bubu Wang was responsible for scouting the enemy’s rear and for pathfinding. Its abilities were well-suited for this task, and when discovered, it would pretend to be a statue. Once it found an enemy, Su Xiao would immediately sneak over and slit their throat. With the combined attack power of the Slaughter Dagger and Sword Technique Master, the healer’s frail body could be dealt with in a single blow. Unfortunately, he was still missing one piece of the Demon Hunting Suit. If he completed the set, Su Xiao’s attack power would become even more terrifying.

One by one, the healing and support type Contractors fell. Xi, who was fighting at the frontline, quickly noticed something was wrong.

”Liu Li, go take care of the assassin at the back. We’ve clearly set up true detection guards, how did someone still manage to sneak in? Strange.”

”Alright.”

Beside Xi, Liu Li dodged a bullet. Using Xi’s cover, she successfully retreated. Little Liu Li didn’t know that the person she was looking for was Su Xiao.

Xi’s finger tapped the air in front of her, and with a series of cracking sounds, a transparent crystal network spread forward. Any Contractors of Reincarnation Paradise touched by the crystal network would be subjected to several determinations. If they failed any of them, they would crystallize.

”Shatter.”

With a sound like glass breaking, the bodies of three Contractors of Reincarnation Paradise in front of Xi shattered, exploding into large pieces of crystal shards.

A one-armed captain stared at Xi. The stump of his arm still showed traces of crystallization. This woman was too strong; he was nearly killed instantly.

”Where’s Yan Chen? Get him here to deal with this woman immediately.”

The one-armed captain shattered the crystal at his wound, and pale red crystals scattered.

”No idea.”

Beside the one-armed captain, a black-haired, red-eyed young man, Black Blood, was dozing off. He had been holding Xi back, and he was about to reach his limit. During this one-hour battle, he had died 168 times. Though the Subhuman bloodline granted immortality, it wasn’t absolute.

”With this woman breaking through, we won’t hold for long. Holding District 2 for a day is impossible. Prepare to retreat to the stone bridge.”

The one-armed captain’s eyes glimmered with fierce determination. Even knowing he was no match for Xi, he didn’t retreat, for doing so would mean his men would die in large numbers.

”You didn’t run away, that’s surprising.”

The crystals floated as Xi spoke. She looked at the one-armed captain and Black Blood. If this were a battle inside Apocalypse Paradise, the enemies would have fled long ago in such circumstances.

”This feeling... not bad.”

The corners of Xi’s lips curled up. Though she acted with reason, deep inside, she feared no death. This differentiated her from other Contractors of Apocalypse Paradise, and it was the reason for her current achievements.

...

On one side of the battlefield, flames clashed with ice, and large clouds of steam spread.

Yan Chen stood amidst the scorching steam, his expression not looking good as his abilities were being restrained.

”This level of fire cannot kill me.”

A young, one-eyed man waved his hand, dissipating the steam around him. Though he was only 1.6 meters tall, he had the aura of someone 6.1 meters tall.

”You sure talk big. If I remember correctly, your name is Winters?”

Yan Chen moved his slightly numb shoulder, which was covered in a layer of ice crystals.

”That’s right, Winters. I’ve heard your name is Yan Chen? Just hearing our code names, it’s clear we’re destined to be rivals.”

In Winters’ hand, cold air was rising, and two ice cones appeared in his grasp.

”I don’t use code names. I go by Yan Chen, my unchanged name and surname.”

”Oh?”

Winters was momentarily stunned, then smiled.

”What a coincidence, so do I.”

Winters charged straight at Yan Chen; he was a close-quarters combatant.

It was an unexpected turn of events. Yan Chen, wielding a magic wand, also charged forward with steady steps and formidable aura; he, too, engaged in close combat!

In Yan Chen’s own words, a mage that can’t fight in close combat is not a qualified mage. Judging by the bruises on Winters’ face, Yan Chen’s close combat abilities were formidable.

The Golden Quality Wand was swung vigorously by Yan Chen, flames rising from the wand. Anything the wand touched was reduced to ashes, leading one to wonder if this was the correct way to use a magic wand.
