Chapter 1455 - 77: Paralysis Assault

Chapter 1455: Chapter 77: Paralysis Assault

Standing amidst the ruins of the camp, Shenai’s gaze swept around.

"They’ve already left. It seems I’ve underestimated these mad dogs a bit, especially with that guy among them."

Shenai recalled the scenes from when she was in the Sun Kingdom. To this day, she still couldn’t determine the identity of the ’nail’ within the Divine Court, and losing two Great Envoys to the opponent in quick succession was a humiliation.

"Madam Shenai, it was just a small-scale attack. It’s unlikely they’ll launch a full-scale assault on us. They’ve already been locked in a mutually destructive conflict with the Apocalypse Paradise Faction. If they launched a large-scale attack on us now, not only would they fail to win, but even if they did win by luck, the cost would be high, only benefiting the Apocalypse Paradise in the end."

The old butler’s analysis was thorough. At least from a rational point of view, the Reincarnation Paradise Faction wouldn’t actively attack the most populous Holy Sanctuary Paradise.

The World Struggle War has continued to this point, with the Holy Sanctuary Paradise Faction being the most numerous, which is undoubtedly true.

Remaining members of Reincarnation Paradise: 149 people.

Remaining members of Apocalypse Paradise: 197 people.

Remaining members of Holy Sanctuary Paradise: 353 people.

In terms of numbers, the Holy Sanctuary Paradise Faction has the most advantage. So far, they haven’t engaged in large-scale conflicts with any other Paradise but have instead preserved their combat effectiveness amidst the chaotic situation.

"By rational thinking, that’s true. But that guy never acts by the rules, as if he anticipated we would think this way."

Shenai was quite wary of someone from the Reincarnation Paradise, specifically, even now, Shenai didn’t know who that person was, and that person was precisely Qing Ye.

"Nevertheless..." Shenai shifted her tone and said, "In the short term, they indeed won’t mount a large-scale attack unless they want to lose the World Struggle War."

The subsequent scenario closely resembled Shenai’s speculation. The Reincarnation Paradise Faction indeed didn’t launch a full-scale assault but instead, had several Ranged Contractors harass the Holy Sanctuary Paradise Faction, slowing down the construction speed of their defensive base.

After acquiring the World Coordinates, the Apocalypse Paradise Faction no longer showed up. If the Holy Sanctuary Paradise Faction came knocking, they might temporarily abandon the World Coordinates.

Uncharacteristically, aside from a few Contractors harassing the Holy Sanctuary Paradise, the other Contractors from Reincarnation Paradise had vanished without a trace.

The Hot Rainforest Forest returned to its former tranquility as time quickly passed.

Of course, not all places were peaceful. The Holy Sanctuary Paradise Faction’s camp was quite lively, with a giant Metal Spider transporting stones and wood, as the outline of the defensive base gradually emerged, while this group of God Sticks assumed the role of a construction team.

The daily work for the ’Holy Sanctuary Construction Team’ was anything but peaceful. On average, every 10 minutes or so, bullets would fly in from afar, and some bizarre corners would frequently harbor poisonous insects.

The most bizarre incident occurred when a ’Taliban Player’ from Reincarnation Paradise charged into the construction team with five Extreme North Hornet nests.

Perhaps the Taliban Player with the ’Undead Physique’ got too carried away, for he ultimately failed to retreat and was surrounded and killed by the Contractors from Holy Sanctuary Paradise. He clearly lacked the ferocity of Black Blood under Yan Chen, whose healing power deterred even the enemy from bothering with him in the end.

The attacks every ten minutes were unbearably annoying for the people from Holy Sanctuary Paradise. These attacks came from a kilometer or several kilometers away; pursuing would likely lead to ambushes, but ignoring them wasn’t an option either.

Ten hours later, after being ambushed dozens of times, the people from Holy Sanctuary Paradise were furious. If Shenai hadn’t held the scene, the God Sticks from Holy Sanctuary Paradise might have left the camp to hunt down the Contractors from Reincarnation Paradise.

Of course, attacking the Holy Sanctuary Paradise wasn’t without cost. They also had many Ranged Contractors, and both sides suffered deaths and injuries, with the numbers generally being even.

From Shenai’s perspective, this was a good thing, but from the other Contractors of Holy Sanctuary Paradise’s perspective, it was intolerable since the ones who might lose their lives were them and not Shenai under layers of protection.

As for how Qing Ye managed to keep the madmen of Reincarnation Paradise in line, it was straightforward: Qing Ye was always present during each attack, and whoever was unlucky died, leaving nothing much for anyone to say.

The difference between Shenai and Qing Ye was ’Charge for me’ versus ’Charge with me’; the former was just giving orders while the latter charged at the frontline.

Because of this, the Reincarnation Paradise Faction was able to carry out harassment for 10 hours. The purpose of doing so was purely as a setup, or rather, to acclimate the Holy Sanctuary Paradise Faction to attacks from Reincarnation Paradise.

At 11 PM that night, the rainforest was bustling with life, various beasts roaring incessantly, insects enjoyed moving about at night, and compared to the sweltering daytime, the creatures in the rainforest preferred to come out at night to forage.

Pew, pew, pew...

A series of strange cries came, without knowing what kind of creature made them.

"Almost 64 times, I can’t hold on anymore."

Qing Ye let out a series of dry coughs; he had three gunshot wounds on him, with an arrow lodged in his abdomen.

"If you don’t want to die, stay away from me."

Citrus Sister spoke from within the brush; she wasn’t threatening Qing Ye. The arrow in Qing Ye’s abdomen upset her slight OCD, desperately wanting to pull it out, but removing the arrow could cause Qing Ye to die from the detachment effect of that arrow.

Or endure bleeding for several hours with the arrow, or pull it out and suffer a Stamina check detachment effect.

"Hold on, I can’t die yet."

Plop...

Qing Ye felt a coolness in his abdomen; the arrow in his stomach was pulled out by a small hand. This hand, though it appeared weak as if it had no strength, was ironclad.

"You damn..."

Before Qing Ye could finish his sentence, the bloodstained small hand pressed against his back, and a bloody glow flashed, making Qing Ye immune to the Stamina check.

"What?"

Gulu grinned at Qing Ye.

"Nothing."

Qing Ye clutched his abdomen, observing the situation of the Holy Sanctuary Paradise through remote monitoring equipment.

"Brother Bai Ye, are you sure there’s no problem? This is the rainforest."

"What are you fussing about? I’m a woman, not afraid at all, yet you’re here, hesitating like a woman. Go!"

Citrus Sister pushed Qing Ye aside.

"Hey, hey, the plan still hasn’t..."

Boom!

A deafening gunshot roared beside Qing Ye, sound waves rippled, and the grass flew wildly as Qing Ye instinctually ducked.

Su Xiao pulled the bolt of the Duke of Extinction, and the bullet casing, like a small shell casing, hit the ground.

Tsss~

The scorching hot shell sizzled against the grass and trees on the ground.

An orange-yellow light streaked into the Holy Sanctuary Paradise Faction’s camp. A bullet struck a tent, the Support class Contractor inside completely unaware.

With a splash, blood mixed with fragments splattered. The Earth Attribute Elemental Bullet didn’t have strong penetration power but was formidable in blunt attacks.

Thud!

Dirt flew, and the tents near the bullet’s point of impact shattered as Contractors scrambled out from the tent wreckage.

"Again..."

"Ignore them; someone will handle it."

"These mad dogs."

A Dead Fish Eye Contractor cursed under his breath, while several other Contractors nearby were similarly furious. Their position was at the edge of the camp cluster, hence often caught in attacks.

Holy Sanctuary Paradise had attempted to set up warning lines surrounding the area, but the frequency of Reincarnation Paradise’s attacks took a toll on the warning lines, often getting destroyed.

"You just called me a mad dog, didn’t you?"

A childlike voice came from behind the Dead Fish Eye Contractor, simultaneously, he felt a prickling sensation in his chest. This sensation was rather vague and seemed as if... someone had blocked his perception!

The Dead Fish Eye Contractor’s eyes widened in rage, disbelief filling his lifeless fish-like eyes.
