    [Traveler, you saw someone trying to sneak in, but they were repelled by the layer of Glory from the Divine Tree core and bounced out. Immediately after, they were decapitated by the arriving guards, with their blood quickly freezing upon the snowy ground. Witnessing this, soon no one dared to try and force their way through.]


    [Wei’er’s eyes widened in shock, “The Glory from the Divine Tree core actually has the effect of repelling people? How does it determine if we are allowed in? Is it the degree of Mutation? Or do we need a pass?”]


    [Crack, crack—]


    [Before Cat Cat could come up with an answer, Traveler, you heard another sound resembling glass breaking.]


    [The guards and soldiers clearly panicked, until a crisp shattering sound resounded, and a massive void tore open in the pale golden light above the firmament.]


    [Even though the golden light healed itself the next moment, a portion of dark entities still managed to squeeze in like a wave.]


    [Traveler, you could hear the soldiers’ shouts from over there.]


    [“Hurry, move faster! Those damned things are coming down! If it comes to it, forget about them and save yourselves!”]


    [“Go! Luo Xi, take Aina with you!”]


    [After Wei’er shouted out, Traveler, you grabbed Little Aina by your side and began to sprint towards the distance.]


    Luo Xi also started to feel tense.


    It’s not enough, he needs to see the Locust Disaster Lakast for himself in the Dream world.

    ///


    Luo Xi blinked.


    The piercing cold wind cut at his face like a knife.


    He was now running forward mechanically, with Little Aina, petite and round, by his side, closely followed by a light figure.


    Ahead, the Inner City, enshrouded in an almost invisible silver radiance, collided with the black entities falling from the sky, dense like the dark clouds plummeting down.


    Several black dots clung to the silver light, like blood-sucking insects.


    How should he describe what he’s seeing?


    Luo Xi could not think of the words to do so.


    As a person with a mild phobia of clusters, he always kept his distance from such dense, swarming things.


    Just looking at it was enough to make one’s scalp tingle to the extreme.


    But if even the Divine Tree Glory of the Inner City couldn’t stop the Locust Disaster, then was there still any point in them entering the Inner City?


    The next moment, he saw the silver light shine as warmly as the sun.


    The Divine Tree, hundreds of meters tall and previously motionless, shuddered slightly, and the brightness of the silver Glory surged violently.


    If the previous light was like a transparent veil, then now it was a silver sun!


    In an instant, all the black entities covering the light turned into black smoke, as if snow meeting the scorching heat of the sun.


    Wei’er also cheered at the sight.


    It was clear that the remnants of the Locust Disaster, having broken through the outer layer of Blessing once, lacked the strength to breach it a second time in the short term.


    They were now only about five hundred meters away from the Inner City.


    If the Divine Tree Glory of the Inner City could hold it back, then as long as they could enter the Inner City, they would be temporarily safe.


    However, Luo Xi saw that the black smoke was reaccumulating and condensing back into its original form, albeit in fewer numbers.


    “Those things can resurrect!”


    As if possessing intelligence, after suffering a setback, they did not strike at the Inner City’s Glory again but instead fluttered around. Some of them turned their attention to the residents of Grey Stone Street who were still not allowed to enter.


    The rest scattered in all directions, with a group of about a dozen black entities heading towards Luo Xi and his group.


    Hum, hum, hum—


    The high-frequency wing beats and the eerily cold sensation made one’s skin crawl just listening to it, causing both a tingling scalp and chilled blood.


    Luo Xi finally saw clearly that this so-called Locust Disaster was composed of black, insect-like creatures with wings, like locusts magnified n times.


    No wonder it’s called the Locust Disaster.


    Just seeing their sharp mouthparts and razor-like limbs was enough to imagine the fate of those caught or bitten by them. And there were millions of such creatures. If it hadn’t been for the outer layer of Divine Tree Glory blocking most of them, this place would probably have become Hell.


    Is this just the aftermath of the Locust Disaster?


    If these are just the remnants, what level of calamity is the main body of the disaster?


    What a dire world the people of this Dream world must live in.


    Wei’er shouted, “Luo Xi, the scroll!”


    Luo Xi immediately reacted.


    He searched the text before him for the storage space, took out the box containing the scrolls, and tossed it to Cat Cat.


    Wei’er leapt nimbly, caught the box in her embrace, and without any sign of opening it, she simply stretched her hands inward, and several scrolls appeared in her grip.


    “Put the rest back!”


    The girl tossed the box back, then spread open the scrolls in her hands.


    Countless runes swelled up, and in an instant, the sky filled with flames struck with precision, just like swiftly flying arrows, the black locusts that approached their vicinity.


    [Tier Four Skill, Staff of Heavenly Fire!]


    It can precisely strike objects that threaten the user.


    Although it was just a single-use skill scroll, using it once meant one less in their possession, and the price was exorbitant; this one required at least 10 jin of Essence Crystals, which is 100 gold coins.]


    The price was similar to the purification scroll used on Luo Xi previously.


    Thanks to the delay provided by the heavenly fire, Luo Xi and his two companions finally reached the outskirts of the Inner City’s Glory. They were several hundred meters away from the residents of Grey Stone Street.


    The guards had all left, but, leaving behind at least a few hundred residents of Grey Stone Street, many of whom had died under the first wave of the black locusts, turning into black dust without leaving a trace.


    It was like hell.


    The remaining survivors continuously knocked and slammed against the Divine Tree’s Glory, but they received no response at all.


    While protecting the residents of the Inner City, this layer of Glory was also an insurmountable moat to them.


    Wei’er reached out and touched the Glory in front of her.


    Her hand recoiled as if it had been shocked.


    Luo Xi placed Aina to one side and reached out to touch it as well.


    Similarly, he felt a powerful force repel him.


    Just as Aina was about to try, Wei’er stopped her.


    There was no need to try again.


    It’s likely that only the guards or the residents themselves would be able to enter normally.


    Wei’er narrowed her eyes.


    Rat King Noss, are you watching me now?


    If I am indeed so crucial to you, then you wouldn’t allow me to die easily, right? Why not come out now?


    “Brother Jiuge, what are you doing standing around like idiots outside? Isn’t it dangerous out there?”


    Luo Xi suddenly looked up.


    Across the silver Glory, a young man wearing a thick coat looked at him with surprise through a fence.


    “Oh, do you not have a pass?”


    The young man fumbled in his pocket and threw a card from within the Glory, saying, “Here, a temporary pass for Winter City’s Inner City. Without this thing, you could break your heads and still wouldn’t be able to get in. But this temporary pass is limited in use. Now it looks like there are just three chances left, which is just perfect for you guys. Remember, one person per use.”


    No one had expected that, in a context where pureblood humans held such extreme disdain and aversion towards Mutant Patients, someone would actually be willing to give a Variants an Inner City pass.


    Luo Xi picked up the card from the ground.


    This blue card, like some sort of crystal, bore the mark of a snowflake.


    He reached out to touch the silver Glory again.


    This time, he successfully pushed his hand into the Glory.


    With a light leap, Luo Xi entered the Glory, effortlessly climbing over the fence.


    What he saw seemed to be a spacious courtyard, where the snow had apparently been cleared away.


    “Sss—”


    Hearing the sound of the locusts flying outside, Luo Xi quickly threw the pass out again.


    Wei’er hurriedly picked up the pass, placed it in Aina’s hand, then lifted her little sister and threw her inside.


    Luo Xi reached out to catch Aina, then passed the pass back out, and Wei’er took hold of it and entered as well.


    With that, the blue pass cracked in half with a snapping sound, and subsequently turned into white powder.


    The young man looked on with some regret, “How did it break? I was planning to sell it after it ran out of uses. This kind of unseen mineral could definitely sell for a lot of money where we are from.”


    Luo Xi looked at the young man and nodded, “Anyway, thanks a lot for this time.”


    Wei’er also said, “Thank you for saving us.”


    Cat Cat definitely remembered this person as the young man they had encountered on the road the day before yesterday.


    She had casually given him a made-up address.


    She had not expected to be saved by him today. This left Wei’er feeling somewhat guilty.


    The young man laughed nonchalantly, “It’s fine, it was just a temporary pass worth 5 silver coins. I made a big win at the casino yesterday, so this small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.”


    Luo Xi: “…”


    This Dream World really has everything.


    That said, things players wouldn’t dare to do in reality, they could do in this world without any worries.


    Murder, robbery, eating, drinking, floating, gambling.


    What is this, a human scum training game?


    Aina whispered, “Thank you, Uncle.”


    The young man was taken aback and looked at Little Wolf Girl, “Uncle? Little sister, who are you calling?”


    Aina was startled and ran behind Luo Xi, who had a comparatively larger frame, to hide.


    The young man glanced at the two Lolitas. Although both were wearing cotton hats, he was sure that these two were probably the same Beast Eared Girls that this fellow had with him that day, right?


    The young man jokingly said, “Brother, you didn’t really make a move on these beast-eared girls of such young age in this Dream World, did you? Although I’ve dabbled in all sorts of things these past two days, what you’ve done is clearly more ‘bustard’! It’s settled then, from now on you are my half-brother of different mothers!”


    Luo Xi: “(╬￣皿￣)!”


    No, there’s definitely something off about this guy! Who compares their misdeeds like this?


    And I haven’t laid a hand on these two beast-eared girls at all!
