Chapter 398: Give You a Ride

The Broken Paradise is not a paradise.

Bai Wei walked all the way, collecting several ancient god remnants and passing through several trials.

Currently, there are Courage Feathers +3; Justice Feathers +1; Diligence +2.

Courage Feathers enhance courage, but Bai Wei underestimated them. It not only increases courage and makes one braver, but also provides immunity from certain negative mental effects. It can resist damage from some mental-based ancient god remnants.

The role of Justice Feathers is also significant. It can amplify attack damage, equivalent to attaching damage against evil attributes. Most of the ancient gods, old gods, and outer god remnants here are evil gods, at least in the eyes of heaven.

The role of Diligence Feathers is to make up for shortcomings through hard work. It means increasing efficiency and speed of attack and movement. As long as one is diligent enough, whenever someone looks at Bai Wei, he can give them a dozen slashes. Don’t ask why, it’s just because he’s too diligent.

It is clear that the various challenges in heaven actually give significant benefits.

The more feathers you have and the more challenges you go through, the stronger the continuous boost you can stack, giving you a greater advantage against these godly remains.

This is good news.

However, the few remains encountered on the way were too weak. Bai Wei didn’t even consider playing games with them, but directly engaged in a fight.

It’s like the enemy encounter system in an RPG, where you bump into enemies after taking a few steps, and then you can choose to fight or run away.

Either I like war, or I want to play a game, or I want to get away from the hassle.

Bai Wei didn’t waste any time and kept pushing forward. An hour quietly passed, and he had made about one-fifth of the distance.

He felt the distance getting closer and his energy still plentiful. Just when he had walked only a few steps, he suddenly heard a cry for help.

The woman’s scream was very clear, not far away. But after being tricked once before, Bai Wei was cautious this time. Instead of immediately responding, he grabbed the back of Crouching Tiger’s neck and made it stop running, then turned his head to look.

At first glance, he almost couldn’t hold it in.

"Mine! Mine!"

"What’s yours? It’s mine! Don’t compete with me!"

"You all came later, I came first!"

"Can’t she be divided?"

"Why should I give it to you? Get lost!"

Several remnants gathered together, each with a different shape, one resembling a tree, one resembling an elephant, one resembling a square, one resembling a skull.

Remnants of the ancient god, the outer god, can generate all sorts of strange things, or mix together to become something new, with all sorts of wonders.

Because these remnants were arguing with each other, the person in the middle was temporarily unharmed, their lives spared.

These few people even argued and started fighting, just to get a piece of meat, hitting each other until their faces turned blue and swollen with splatters of blood.

The woman in the middle took this opportunity to run away. As she was running, she also saw Bai Wei and waved her hand, shouting for help.

Bai Wei wondered why he was riding a big cat. It didn’t look like something an ordinary person would do. Maybe it was some kind of evil god residue?

Then he noticed that this person looked familiar. So he jumped down and patted Crouching Tiger’s bottom, saying "Let’s go, Big Orange."

Big Orange let out a roar and jumped into the group of ancient god residues. With every jump and swipe of its paws, it instantly crushed two of the ancient god residues. The tiger’s fighting power was very strong, especially since it had already eaten many ancient god residues.

Just like how dogs biting people can become addictive, the same goes for releasing tigers.

Weak ancient god residues can only imprison others through games. Otherwise, they can only be constantly driven away. Once they fall into their rules, they often become the other party’s takeout. But on the other hand, as long as they don’t fall into the opponent’s game trap, they can keep running. Generally, ancient god residues don’t leave their familiar territory, or else they would easily become food for other residues.

"Looking at it this way, you’re quite lucky," said Bai Wei. "Because you weren’t trapped in their game, you were able to run so far… no wonder you’re the once-in-a-millennium songstress. Even here, you’re being chased. How much syrup candy do you have hidden on you?"

Hatsurai Wagaizuma, who had just escaped death, leaned on her knees, gasping for breath. She was out of breath and then, after catching her breath, she complained, "At a time like this, Mr. White, instead of teasing me, shouldn’t you comfort me first?"

"I’m just amazed at how lucky and fortunate you are." Bai Wei asked, "Isn’t that comforting?"

"I was so scared that I almost peed myself!" Hatsurai Wagaizuma squatted down, rubbing her sore thigh with her fingers, her voice trembling, "These jerks chased me for over half an hour, my legs were about to break, and not only couldn’t I shake them off, they kept multiplying!"

She was really afraid, scared half to death.

Only then did she feel safe, rubbing her red eyes, stuttering because of the interrupted breath, "If, if I hadn’t run into Mr. White, I thought I was going to die here… I encountered several people on the road, but they just ignored me and ran away when they saw these guys behind me. I, I, I was just thinking, if Mr. White didn’t pay attention to me either, what should I do…"

For a little girl, this kind of experience is indeed very terrifying.

In a video, there was a mountaineer who encountered a leopard halfway up the mountain. He kept retreating and shouting at the leopard, confronted it for ten minutes, and finally drove away the animal, a true brush with death.

These "residue" are actually a group of hyenas, wolves, tigers, and leopards. Imagine a person being chased by a group of hyenas, wolves, tigers, and leopards for over ten kilometers.

Bai Wei realized that his previous words were somewhat inappropriate. Hatsurai Wagaizuma is just an ordinary girl, not Jingūji, not Hokusinn Kichyō, and definitely not Yagyū Simozi. They differ greatly in mental strength.

"Sorry." Bai Wei apologized straightforwardly, "I should have paid attention to you earlier."

The self-reflection of the Ming Country person made the girl stunned, Hatsurai Wagaizuma immediately understood and became helpless.

"No no no, I am the one, thank you very much for helping…"

She kneeled down, fingers pressed against the ground, then bowed down, performing a formal gesture of gratitude. It inadvertently showed that this girl had received a good education and had the basic manners of a well-mannered lady, even though her attire and makeup didn’t match this etiquette at all.

Bai Wei couldn’t handle this kneeling and bowing ceremony, even though he had seen it in the past in the Divine Land, who likes to have their knees touch the ground?

He pulled Hatsurai Wagaizuma up and examined her, realizing that besides the torn black stockings, there were no major injuries. However, there was a scratch on her calf, which seemed to have been scraped.

"I’m not injured, this wound is…" Hatsurai Wagaizuma paused for a moment, "…not caused by those monsters."

She didn’t explain it clearly, but Bai Wei could guess the answer.

Broken Paradise is not the original world, so everyone who comes here is inevitably anxious. Some of them may have ulterior motives.

Or rather, those who can break free from the illusion of paradise have some special qualities within them. Villains and criminals are more prone to seek the confinement of beautiful dreams because most of them are insatiable. Even if they are temporarily satisfied with the illusion, they will soon destroy their existing happiness due to new desires, like a forever unsatisfied greedy snake.

This type of person may have visible evil or hidden evil. In any case, these thoughts exist in their hearts. The legal system can suppress this evil, but once they step outside the existing order and legal framework, in a strange broken paradise, facing the unknown and the threat of life and death, everything returns to the law of the jungle. Sheep or wolf, it becomes instantly clear. There are many works that talk about this kind of change in human nature, such as the thrilling explosive game with bombs on the chest.

Bai Wei saw the expression she didn’t want to reveal and guessed that she must have been targeted by some bad people because of his famous identity. He didn’t say anything at that moment, but instead reached out and patted her shoulder.

"Just treat it as being bitten by a dog, don’t take it too much to heart," he said.

Hatsurai Wagaizuma’s shoulder slightly sank. She used to resist contact with the opposite sex, but this time she didn’t resist, instead feeling at ease.

Everyone has their own little secrets. When the other person doesn’t pry too much, maintaining an appropriate distance is also a form of care.

She had encountered similar situations before. One day when her relative came, feeling upset, she had a cold expression towards everyone. After that, if anyone thought she had encountered some major life event, they would pester her, making her annoyed. She had to respond with a smile, pretending to be grateful for their concern. This only added to the emotional pressure she was already feeling. Many things are not solved by just talking. When a person wants to confide in another person, they will naturally speak up. If they don’t, there must be a reason.

She really didn’t want to talk about what happened before. Just recalling it gave her a chilling feeling all over her body.

Snore~

While she was daydreaming, Hatsurai Wagaizuma suddenly felt a rush of hot air coming towards her. She felt something brush against her from behind. When she turned around, a beautiful, colorful golden gradient large orange cat stumbled and fell onto Bai Wei.

Humans think cats are cute because they are small. Cats of the same size as other big cats can be scary and intimidating if they get too close.

Bai Wei reached out his hand and touched Crouching Tiger’s chin. The magic in the sword became stronger and could level up if he ate more.

As they made contact, he heard what Crouching Tiger Sword was thinking and then looked at Hatsurai Wagaizuma.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" the songstress asked, feeling a bit uneasy.

"It says your blood has a special taste," Bai Wei translated. "That might be the reason why so many residues are chasing after you."

Hatsurai Wagaizuma’s face slightly changed color. "My blood…"

From her expression, she knew something, so it was not a look of shock but of realization.

She immediately took off her coat and tore off a piece of cloth from the shirt underneath her costume, revealing her healthy and toned abdomen and abs. Then she tightly wrapped the wound on her leg to stop the bleeding. "This should take care of it."

The scene fell silent once again, and the two of them locked eyes.

The songstress who only knows how to sing and not fight, realizes that she is just a burden in this place. She carefully considers how to ask the boss for help.

Bai Wei jumps onto the back of the tiger and extends his hand to the troubled lady, saying, "Come up, I will give you a ride."
