Hezhou, a small border town in Yangyin.

A boy of twelve or thirteen was huddled in a dark corner of the city, his face calm, his eyelids twitching up and down, as if he wanted to sleep.

However, the boy kept pinching his arm, and the place where he was pinched instantly turned red, and then turned black, which shows the strength of the young man.

But his face was so calm that it was hard to imagine that a teenager could endure such pain with a blank face.

It's a pity that no matter how he pinched himself, he still couldn't restrain his sleepiness, and his head gradually drooped, and he was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, a grand, mysterious, palpitating aura appeared out of thin air.

And then came a voice that was incredibly convincing, more majestic than the most exalted man he had ever seen, like a god.

The voice said to him, "Can't sleep!

The boy immediately woke up from his sleep, picked up the wooden stick beside him, and looked around vigilantly.

When he heard this incomparably majestic voice, the boy's first reaction turned out to be that he was ready to resist.

Li Xin'an knew that his voice would produce a convincing force when it came out through the Heavenly Palace chessboard, and Yan Hongyun would be in awe when he heard this voice before, but this child, who was younger than Yan Hongyun, just wanted to resist.

This is not to say that Yan Hongyun is more timid than this child, but because Yan Hongyun has received a lot of help from others, and in that situation, it is natural to think that the mysterious existence is helping himself.

The boy was only vigilant, indicating that he received little help from others, as evidenced by his thin clothes and thin countenance.

"It seems that this child has suffered a lot. ”

Li Xin'an sighed, and then said, "Don't worry, I have no malice." ”

The young man looked at the wooden stick in his hand, and found that the sound came from the wooden stick, and his eyes changed a little, and his vigilance faded, and then he became more curious.

"Who are you?"

"I was asked my name again, Yan Hongyun asked my name before, but I changed the topic and pushed it over.

This kid also asked me for my name, no, I may help more people through the Tiangong chessboard in the future, and more and more people will ask for my name, and I have to think of a more compelling name.

Since I contacted them through the Heavenly Palace chessboard, and the black and white areas on the chessboard are like playing with each other, it is better to call them the players!"

Li Xin'an thought for a while and then replied, "You can call me a gamer, and I will help you." ”

The boy still didn't let his guard down, and then asked, "Why are you helping me, and what price do I have to pay?" ”

Li Xin'an responded: "Because I see that you need help, I want to help you."

The price you have to pay is just a thank you, after all, you don't have anything in you that I need. ”

The boy continued, "Are you a youkai turned into a stick, how can you speak?"

Li Xin'an replied: "No, I just used your wooden stick as a medium to contact you, I know you need help, don't you? You can trust me, at least you can try to talk to me." ”

The boy said to himself, "You are not a monster turned into a stick, then you are a demon! I have heard my master say that some demons will tempt humans, first fulfill their wishes, and finally eat their souls." ”

Li Xin'an was a little speechless: "Why is this kid a little shaft? What did his master teach him!"

After thinking for a while, Li Xin'an said: "Then you treat me as a monster, I need to go through a test to become a human, and this test is to help others tide over difficulties!"

The young man was pleasantly surprised: "Really, my master said that some monsters need to help humans to achieve positive results, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

It was hard for Li Xin'an to imagine the expressionless appearance of this young man just now, it seemed that his heart was still full of childishness.

"Wait! Why is this kid talking about the demon so similar to a fairy tale on the earth, and the monster also wants to be the monster image in the traditional Chinese story, is his master also crossing over?

Li Xin'an suddenly became excited, and he was moved by his old acquaintance in a foreign country, but he understood that he couldn't be too eager to ask the young master about it, otherwise it would make this wary young man wary of himself again.

At this moment, the young man spoke: "Then I'll just say it, see if you can help me."

I've been having nightmares every night lately, dreaming that I'm in strange places with many monsters chasing me.

I just kept running and running, even if I was very tired, I didn't dare to stop, I couldn't wake up if I wanted to, and I would only wake up automatically when the sun rose.

There was a monster floating in the air, every time it appeared, I could feel it trying to eat me, lately it was getting bigger and moving faster, and I expected to be killed by it soon. ”

After listening to the young man's words, Li Xin'an thought about it: "Repeating the dream of the same monster in your dreams, and the monster is still chasing him." It sounds like a nightmare in Earth legends, a monster in a dream, and I really don't know what to do. ”

Li Xin'an tried to ask the system, "How can I help him?"

"Ding! can give a suggestion and consume 100 creation points!"

"Hey, is that okay? But what a pit!

I can only earn 100 creation points for helping him, and the system will have to consume 100 creation points for me to give a suggestion, profiteers!

But by completing this task, I'll be able to upgrade the summoning system!

After consuming a hundred Creation Points, some information suddenly appeared in front of Li Xin'an's eyes: "Method 1: Enter his dream and help him destroy the monster in his dream!"

Method 2: Let him avoid falling asleep forever!"

Li Xin'an looked at these two methods and was a little speechless: "Enter the dream of a young man? I don't have this ability, let's rule it out first."

Let the teenager avoid falling into a deep sleep forever? Some natural treasures or elixirs should be able to do it, but let the teenager never sleep in the future, this is a bit miserable. ”

As a household with difficulty getting out of bed, Li Xin'an even sleeps and dreams beautifully, he is not willing to deprive the teenager of the right to sleep.

"It's better to take the first option, it's a bit dangerous, but it can completely solve the threat, and it can also keep the boy to sleep in peace.

But I don't know what method to use to do this, Zhou Qian is good at medical skills, and he is well-informed, he should know the method, I should go to Zhongzhou and ask him.

However, the teenager will fall asleep at any time in his current state, and he can't wait that long. ”

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a way to do both: "By the way, let the boy wake up for a while first, so that I have enough time to find a way to enter his dream!"

I'm such a genius! something that makes you sober for a while...... Ice silkworms will do!"

Li Xin'an had eaten an ice silkworm before, and understood the effect of the ice silkworm, the ice silkworm can not only restore people's strength and energy, but also restore people's spirits, which can just help the young man wake up and let him temporarily avoid falling into a deep sleep.

"But can I give him the Ice Silkworm? Ask the system!"

Li Xin'an took the ice silkworm out of the ink snow and asked the system, "Can I pass this ice silkworm to that young man's hands?"

"Ding! can pass items, consume 1000 creation points!"

"1000 Creation Points?? Why don't you grab it!"

Li Xin'an felt that he was so angry with the system that his liver hurt, not only did he not earn creation points when he completed a task, but he had to consume creation points, but he had no way at all, and he still had to spend these creation points.

It's not just that he wants to complete the task, but it's because Li Xin'an can't watch the boy die.

"Well, I still have to spend it! Fortunately, I have a lot of creation points. ”

Li Xin'an was about to take out the ice silkworm to teleport, when he suddenly thought of something: "The boy won't eat the ice silkworm? And this ice silkworm should be eaten separately for a long time to make the boy sober for a longer time." ”

After thinking for a while, Li Xin'an took out three bottles that had previously contained pills from Mo Xue, cut a hole in the back of the ice silkworm, and squeezed the liquid in the ice silkworm's body into the bottle.

A milk-like liquid was squeezed out of the ice silkworm's body, and the mellow aroma of fruit trees suddenly spread to the surroundings, just smelling it, I felt refreshed, and the tiredness disappeared a lot.

Even the snow wolves, who feed on meat, were attracted by this fragrance, raised their heads and looked back and forth excitedly, and only when they found that the smell was coming from the ice silkworms in Li Xin'an's hands, these snow wolves put away the greed in their eyes.

Li Xin'an filled the three bottles without revealing a drop, and the ice silkworm finally dried up, leaving only a layer of skin.

He closed the bottle cap and threw the shriveled skin of the ice silkworm to the wolf king, who had been coveting it for a long time.

"Haha, a reward for you!"

The wolf king opened his big mouth and ate it in one bite, and flicked his tail at Li Xin'an.

Li Xin'an secretly estimated: "That young man is ten ordinary people, these ice silkworm liquids full of spiritual substances should make the young man not sleep for ten days!"

He touched the medicine bottle containing the ice silkworm liquid to the chessboard, and whispered in his mouth: "System, deduct 1,000 creation points!" ”

After the creation point was deducted, the three bottles containing the ice silkworm liquid in Li Xin'an's hand suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in the hand of the young man in the picture.

The boy looked at the bottle that suddenly appeared in his hand with an expressionless face, as if nothing else could arouse his interest except for the story related to his master.

Li Xin'an said through the Tiangong chessboard: "This is an elixir that can keep you from falling asleep, and whenever you want to sleep, take a small sip gently, which can help you eliminate fatigue and not fall asleep."

That's enough for you to stay awake for more than ten days, and I'll arrange for someone to help you before your elixir runs out. ”

The young man took out the bottle suspiciously, opened the cap and took a sip gently, and suddenly felt a cool breath enter his brain, and the tiredness disappeared completely.

"Remember, open it in a place where no one is around, otherwise its smell may attract the covetousness of others and bring you unnecessary danger. ”

Li Xin'an knows that the smell of the ice silkworm liquid is very fragrant, and it has a strong attraction to living beings, and some transcendent people can even feel its rich spiritual substances, and even take it, sometimes humans are more terrible than animals.

"Thank you!"

The boy said to the stick in his hand.

"It's okay, remember to contact me if you encounter any danger! ”

Immediately, Li Xin'an cut off the connection with the boy and withdrew from the Tiangong chessboard.

"My head hurts, I'm going to sleep for a while......"

Communicating with the boy through the Tiangong chessboard consumed a lot of Li Xin'an's mental power, and he wanted to hit the stone with his head with a headache at this time.

After Li Xin'an finished speaking, he lowered his head and fell asleep.

The ghost-faced demon spider heard what Li Xin'an said, and immediately ordered the wolf king to find a place to rest.

The wolf king stopped, looked around, and found a huge rock, with some depressions under the rock, just enough to shelter from the wind.

The wolf king ran to the boulder, gently took Li Xin'an from his back, and put it under the boulder, at this time Li Xin'an was already asleep and did not react.

The wolf king also lay beside Li Xin'an, and put his tail on Li Xin'an's body as a quilt.

The other wolves also gathered around the wolf king, lying on the ground, and began to rest.

The ghost-faced spider did not sleep, it went to hunt elsewhere, and it required a lot of physical strength outside, and it needed to destroy a lot of food to meet the needs of its movements, and these foods were naturally nearby animals.

When I woke up the next day, Li Xin'an's head still hurt a little, but it was much better than yesterday.

He stretched his waist, and the wolf king beside him felt the movement, and suddenly woke up, sat up straight, and looked at Li Xin'an with his tongue out, like a well-behaved pet dog.

Seeing that the wolf king, who was originally fierce, was now like this, Li Xinan was a little embarrassed, and he patted the wolf king's head to express his appreciation.

The Devil-Faced Spider had formed a cobweb on the other side of the situation, and was resting on its stomach, apparently going out to hunt for the night last night.

At this moment, the other wolves came running back from a distance with a few fat sheep in their mouths.

They put the fat sheep in front of Li Xin'an, waiting for Li Xin'an's selection.

Li Xin'an cut off the meat on the back of one of the sheep, and then left the fat sheep carcass, showing that he was enough with his actions, and the rest was food for the wolves.

This is the tacit understanding that Li Xin'an and the wolves have developed recently.

Seeing Li Xin'an retreat, these wolves immediately took the fat sheep aside and devoured it.

A flame appeared in Li Xin'an's hand, slowly roasting the fat and tender mutton in his hand, and it didn't take long for the mutton to emit a fragrance, Li Xin'an took out the seasoning from the ink snow, carefully sprinkled it on the mutton, and then took a bite of it.

The mutton is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is full of fragrance, which is even more delicious with the combination of seasonings, and the delicious taste suddenly exploded in Li Xin'an's mouth.

Li Xin'an ate all the roast mutton with wine, and the ghost-faced demon spider woke up at this time, and played with Li Xin'an for a while, and the wolves finally ate their stomachs.

The wolf king came to Li Xin'an's side, and Li Xin'an rode on its back

"Let's go, guys, let's save the world!"

Li Xin'an said to the wolves, but these animals obviously didn't understand what Li Xin'an meant, so Li Xin'an didn't feel embarrassed.

The wolf king shook off his hooves and ran smoothly southward, with the other snow wolves following closely.

Since the task of saving the boy was still not completed, there was not a single chess piece on the Tiangong chessboard like Yan Hongyun, and Li Xin'an had no way to contact him, so he could only wait for the boy to contact him.

"We have to speed up, we have to find a way to enter other people's dreams within ten days, and then we can find the boy, the time is still very short. ”

Li Xin'an thought as he urged the wolf king to run faster.

......

After two days of rapid travel, Li Xin'an finally saw a lush forest, a layer of grass appeared on the ground, and the temperature was a little higher than before.

The wolves moved much slower, and as they ran, they opened their mouths wide and stuck out their tongues to dissipate heat, as if they were not accustomed to the heat.

After seeing the forest, the wolf king was even more reluctant to move forward.

......

Perimeter of the forest

Li Xin'an touched the head of the wolf king in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Haha, thank you.

Devil-faced spiders, let them go!"

"Yes, master!"

The red light flashed in the eyes of the ghost-faced demon spider, and the wolf king froze for a moment, and then seemed to react, broke away from Li Xin'an's palm, and ran towards the snow field as fast as crazy.

The other snow wolves hurriedly followed, and a group of wolves left Li Xin'an at a very fast speed.

Li Xin'an said to the ghost-faced demon spider with a little melancholy: "There are only the two of us left, let's hurry on!"

During this time, there were wolves escorting, and Li Xin'an felt very comfortable. After all, you don't have to walk by yourself, you don't have to catch food by yourself, and wild beasts don't dare to come and intrude, it's just a must-have for the journey.

But the snow wolves are not used to the temperature here, and they seem to be afraid of the forest, unwilling to move on, and even the charm of the ghost-faced demon spider does not work.

Looking at the calm forest in front of him, Li Xinxin also raised some vigilance, because this forest was really quiet, and there was not even a bird call.

"According to the map, this place should be the forbidden land of the human race, the Colorful Forest, and there is an immortal deer in it that has seized the ability, I don't know if it's true. ”

Li Xin'an wanted to go in and have a look, but eventually gave up.

"Forget it, don't die, I still have something to do, avoid this forest and go. ”

He took out the map, carefully observed for a while, and planned a route to walk around the colorful forest, the general direction has been going west, the small direction needs to be adjusted, change the direction, avoid some mountains and mountains, turn south after reaching the end, and then walk all the way to reach the Three Mountains City.

"This should be the closest path I can choose, so let's go!"

He summoned the snow giant, who lifted Li Xin'an to his shoulders and ran west with Li Xin'an.

When the snow giant lost his strength, Li Xin'an summoned it back to the preparation area to rest, and then summoned the Ice Python instead, carrying himself and continuing to run.

When the ice python's physical strength was exhausted, it recalled the ice python, and then summoned the snow giant, the two war pets replaced each other, running day and night with Li Xin'an on their backs, and Li Xin'an's eating and sleeping were solved on the backs of the two war pets.

The ghost-faced demon spider only carried it for one day and couldn't stand the consumption of this kind of rush, and was recalled to the preparation area by Li Xin'an.

In this way, under the progress of the two war pets day and night, Li Xin'an finally bypassed the Colorful Forest two days later and stepped into the land of Zhongzhou.
