Reincarnation Paradise
chapter-841

"Click, click… The crystal sphere enveloping the Twilight Palace quickly cracked, resembling melting ice. Large crystal chunks fell into the bottomless circular pit below. There was no sound of heavy objects hitting the ground for a long time. These large crystal chunks seemed to be swallowed by the circular pit beneath the Twilight Palace.

Soon, the crystals on the stone bridges and the Twilight Palace disappeared, along with over four hundred contract holders. What do these over four hundred contract holders represent? They represent the almost destruction of nine adventuring parties from the Paradise of Reincarnation, with five completely wiped out and the remaining four having suffered more than half casualties.

Among these, two adventuring parties were the most tragic; one was left with only five people, and the other with 16, directly downgrading from medium-sized to small-sized adventuring parties. After the crystal sphere shattered, the Paradise of Tianqi did not launch a major attack. Instead, they withdrew from the outskirts of the ancient ruins.

This was Xi's decision. After creating the super large crystal sphere, she would be weakened for a period, making it an inopportune time for starting a war. The Paradise of Tianqi did not want to engage in a battle. The contract holders from the Paradise of Reincarnation had no way back. After all, being the defensive side, launching an attack would mean losing the terrain advantage.

Moreover, the enemy was three times their number now. Rushing into battle would only result in destruction. Therefore, holding onto the Twilight Palace was the wise choice. However, not everyone from the Paradise of Reincarnation shared this view. On the seventh floor of the Twilight Palace, while Su Xiao was discussing the details of the 'Big Pineapple Plan' with Yan Chen, a lone ranger approached Yan Chen.

"Yan Chen, what happened before? So many people died." The person was the Lone Ranger, Grizzly, who had a habit of analyzing urine using his mouth. Seeing Grizzly, both the OL Beauty and Naikang behind Yan Chen twitched their cheeks. They wanted to laugh but couldn't. After all, Grizzly was a major general on their side. Laughing at him would be disrespectful.

"If you want to laugh, go ahead. I've tasted even weirder stuff." Grizzly grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth. "Um... excuse me for asking, but what does 'that thing' taste like?"

Naikang timidly raised his hand. "What taste... hmm, how do I describe it? A bit salty." Grizzly raised an eyebrow at Naikang. It was clear that Naikang was the type Grizzly favoured.

"Huh?" Su Xiao looked at them with some confusion. He needed to figure out what they were talking about. The OL Beauty leaned closer to Su Xiao, and a faint fragrance wafted over. Through the OL Beauty, Su Xiao understood the gist of the situation, giving Grizzly a slightly different look. "Oral analysis ability? That's a rare power." Su Xiao wasn't concerned about what Grizzly had tasted; he just found Grizzly's ability peculiar.

"Not bad." Grizzly grinned upon hearing praise for his ability. No one noticed that Bubuwang was staring at Grizzly with an astonished expression, as if saying, 'Wow, brother, I still have something warm. Do you want to taste it?'

"Grizzly, you came to find me, not just for small talk, right?" Yan Chen seemed to have guessed Grizzly's purpose. "Of course not. I just came to say hello. I'm planning to leave the Twilight Palace." Grizzly's body tensed.

"Oh? Why? This place is safer than outside." Yan Chen smiled at Grizzly. "Why? Because I'm a normal person. I don't want to fight alongside a bunch of lunatics; it's as simple as that. Who knows what you guys will do? For my safety, I'm leaving." Grizzly glanced at Su Xiao and Yan Chen. He had a vague feeling that these two fellows would do something shocking.

Grizzly's plan was simple: leave the Twilight Fortress and operate freely within the ancient ruins, but he still had to deal with the Paradise of Tianqi. "If you want to leave, just go. Why bother coming here to say hello? It's better to leave quietly like Lucky Lady and Bug Girl did, isn't it?"

Yan Chen still had a smile on his face, but Grizzly didn't sense any goodwill in that smile. "Heh, can you really leave safely?" Grizzly sneered. At present, there were hardly any sane contract holders inside the Twilight Palace. The normal ones were either dead under the crystal sphere or had quietly left.

"Of course, you can leave if you want. Stay if you want." Yan Chen shrugged. "Alright..."

Just as Grizzly finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes fixed on him. "Excuse me, do you have a different opinion about my departure?" Su Xiao's gaze made Grizzly feel uneasy.

"Not really, I'm just curious about something."

"W... What thing?"

"Nothing." Su Xiao smiled and walked towards the throne on the seventh floor. Grizzly strolled towards the exit on the seventh floor. When he reached the exit, he found several contract holders with different expressions standing in the corridor. After hesitating for a moment, Grizzly walked into this group of contract holders, remaining vigilant.

Only heaven knew if these fellows would suddenly attack. Friends? Don't joke around. In Grizzly's view, the Twilight Palace was now more dangerous than the second area maze. Under the gaze of those mad or indifferent eyes, Grizzly passed through a corridor entirely of contract holders.

When he emerged from the crowd, the back of his clothes was drenched in cold sweat. As long as Yan Chen or Su Xiao gave the order, those madmen in the corridor would tear Grizzly apart without any care for which side he belonged to. Stepping out of the Twilight Palace, Grizzly heaved a sigh of relief.

A black-shelled bug emerged from the soil, and Grizzly entered the second area maze to meet up with his teammates. Soon, Grizzly met up with his temporary teammates, Lucky Goddess Ada and Bug Sister. "How did it go? What did those two guys say?" Ada patted Grizzly's shoulder. "If you want to leave, leave; if you want to stay, stay. That's what they said."

"Really?" Bug Sister seemed sceptical. "Will those lunatics let us leave?" Bug Sister and Ada obviously didn't belong to the group of lunatics, so they wanted to leave the Twilight Palace.

"You say they're lunatics. How can you believe what they say? Just a moment ago, I felt those two wanted to kill me.

Perhaps they only let me leave because I still have some use. These lunatics, even though that knife-wielding one isn't a lunatic, he's powerful, and the smell of blood on him is stronger than those lunatics'. Those lunatics have completely awakened now. Whatever team leaders they talk about is nonsense.

Now, they only listen to the mentally ill Yan Chen and that guy soaked in blood. I was reading..." Recalling the eerie atmosphere in the corridor earlier, Grizzly stomped on the ground beneath his feet, causing a loud rumble of earth. "Let's not discuss that.

Although we're not cooperating with those lunatics, in fact, our goals have been the same from the beginning to the end. We're leaving the Twilight Palace because it's too dangerous there. Our current small team model is good; we can seize the opportunity to attack small groups of the Paradise of Tianqi or block them using the terrain after they attack the Twilight Palace."

The three-person team began to discuss their strategies after leaving the Twilight Palace. However, it wasn't only these three who left the Twilight Palace; there was also a team leader, the leader of the Fantasy Land Adventurers, Nasa, a golden-haired busty beauty.

"Sis, is it really okay for us to leave like this?" Iron Pillar Little Brother looked towards the Twilight Palace with a guilty expression. "Silly boy, I'm doing this to save your life. We're not lunatics; we're not qualified to be associated with those lunatics. Unless we're stronger than them, it's off the table." Over twenty team members followed Nasa.

The number of surviving members in her team exceeded this count, but some team members chose to stay inside the Twilight Palace. For some reason, Nasa suddenly felt sympathy for Xi. In the upcoming war, Xi would face a group of lunatics' full-scale attack.

Massive explosives, living bait, Taliban players (black blood), suicide-loving teams—now inside the Twilight Palace, there was nothing that Xi couldn't imagine happening; there was nothing impossible."
