Chapter 49: The Tapir's Predation

Although reluctantly, the body involuntarily followed the crane to a clearing. All around were bare, and the only thing visible in front of them was a towering tree. Looking at the trunk of this tree, which requires several people to surround it, this tree must be very old.

Where's the food, though?

"Hah, here it is! I think it's good! Tsuru, who was walking in front, nodded in satisfaction and turned around and walked towards me. Okay, let's eat. ”

"Eat a ghost," I couldn't help but learn his tone, "there's nothing here for you to let me eat." ”

"Don't tell me that you haven't fed it yet?" When he saw that I acquiesced, he was a little surprised, and more frightened.

I really don't understand what could still make this powerful crane feel terrified. "I don't know what to feed or not, but a ghost entered from the palm of my right hand in a dream before."

"That's right," he breathed a sigh of relief, looking much more relieved, put his hands behind his head, and said with a smile: "It's the same as before, make a dream and come out, and then eat all the monsters that appear in the dream." ”

A gust of wind blew in from afar, carrying a slight fruity sweetness around the trees. The leaves trembled slightly, making a rustling sound, and there was silence all around. I held my breath and let myself drift into a dreamscape. I've tried this way of dreaming many times, so this time I entered a lucid dream very lightly. I didn't sketch it out much, it was built on the basis of the environment just now.

I could still make out the sweetness in the air, and the breeze in my ears continued to blow my hair, and I slowly opened my eyes, this is the new dream. But when I saw that the crane was still standing in front of me, I was still surprised, and I didn't leave him in the process of building it just now.

"Why are you looking at me with such astonishment," he said, looking up, squinting his eyes, and with some contempt, "don't you think I don't even have the ability to enter your dreams?" ”

"You know how to control dreams, too?" I asked.

He got angry now, strode up to me, and shouted, "Hey, why is the little girl so ignorant!" I'm not a dream master, but I'm also the one who can build this village, okay? It's still easy for me to enter such a shallow lucid dream, okay? ”

"Okay...... "I can't stand this guy yelling in my ear all the time, hurry up and admit defeat." What should I do next? ”

"Hmph."

“……”

"Master, what should I do next...... "I was a big fan of his childlike temper.

"That's pretty much it," he touched his nose, and continued, "Ghosts are easily attracted by people's various emotions, and you are now concentrating on the things that have haunted you the most these days, and you are trying to think about them!" Think about it! I'll sue you if they show up. ”

What's the most haunting thing for me? The first thing that popped into my mind turned out to be Qin Chuyi. What strong emotions can I have for him, I shook my head and immediately passed him away. The second thought was the moment when Assistant Ye Jiahe pushed me down before I came here. Fear, despair, anger, and regret suddenly spread from the bottom of my heart, wrapping around my whole body like vines, and I suddenly felt an invisible pressure appear around me, making it difficult for me to breathe. This painful memory is nothing short of torture in retrospect.

"Aha, there you have it." The crane's voice dragged me out of my memory, and just as I was about to open my eyes, his irritated voice rang out again, "Hey! Don't stop! That's not enough, tapir between your teeth, little girl! ”

But it was too late for him to say that, and I couldn't get back to that feeling.

"That's it, I can't do it." I said, slowly opening my eyes. The crane in front of him looked displeased, and he put his hands on his waist in a huff.

"Hey, it's really not as good as the generation. The dream master who sealed the tapir back then was about the same age as you, how could he become a generation of grandmasters! He kept muttering and shook his head at me. Then let's do it first, you can stop. ”

The strange thing is that I didn't see any ghosts around me, or the clearing just now. I looked left and right and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say you had it, where is it?" ”

He suddenly smiled mysteriously and asked rhetorically, "You really didn't see it?" ”

Don't you really see it......

As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt a lot of pressure around me, and this heavy feeling was very oppressive, as if the air was stagnant, and it was a little breathless. The aura around me is indeed different from just now, is there really something attracted by my dream?

I closed my eyes again, steadied my breathing, and began to reopen my senses. When I opened my eyes, more than a dozen shadow-like black objects surrounded me, forming a purple-black smoke barrier, approaching me little by little.

"I saw it!" I shouted, staring nervously at the strange mass of creatures in front of me approaching me. As the distance decreased, I gradually saw their appearances clearly, and they all looked strange as if they had crawled out of a horror movie. One of them even limped towards me with his head in his hand. Blood gushed out from his neck, his torn pale skin was reminiscent of dead pork in a slaughterhouse, but the head on his hand was still alive with a strange smile.

"Crane!" I yelled, "What's next!" "As the monster approached, I kept backing and forth, almost to the edge of the dream, the farthest place I knew of the village. Now it looks like I'm not trying to eat them at all, but they're going to eat me.

"Don't worry, wait until they get closer, and then eat them all in one go." As if watching a good show, he leaned against the big tree and crossed Erlang's legs. I was far away from him, and the sound of the crane almost drifting into my ears.

Since he said closer, I don't need to be scared anymore. I looked at the disgusting monsters in front of me and tried to imagine them as delicious meat. No, you'll never want to eat meat again.

If this method doesn't work, then force yourself. If I can't get past this hurdle, I won't go back! Thinking like this, I froze like a nail, still approached by the strange creatures. The original sweetness in the air had been masked by the smell of blood, and I had to cover my nose with one hand and clench it tightly with the other.

It's coming! Breath, temperature, and obsession are attacking me with great momentum......

Now is the time!

I bit the palm of my right hand, let go of my clenched hand, and slammed it towards the monster, which was only thirty centimeters away from me.

Blood gushed out from his palms, and the scorching wound quickly cracked, and the dark red imprint was like a bloody mouth, greedily devouring the body of the youkai. The intense process made my whole body tremble, and a powerful air current centered on my hand spread out in all directions, something I had never experienced before.

The headless demon didn't expect me to fight back, and disappeared into my palm before I could scream. The entrance made a "tsk" sound like a gnaw, and the dark red light seemed to be awakened, absorbing the power of the monsters even more ferociously. The long-tongued demon standing next to him saw that the situation was not right, and turned around and wanted to run. But her clothes had already come in, and her whole body naturally slammed into it under the action of suction. At the last second, she also used her long tongue to wrap around the nearest youkai next to her, trying to pull herself out. Naturally, this unlucky youkai was eaten by me.

In this way, one after another, all the monsters in front of me were eaten by my right hand. The swollen entrance was still chewing, still glowing with a terrifying dark red glow as if it hadn't eaten enough.

"Now, I don't think it's enough," Tsuru walked up to me at some point, took my hand and looked at it carefully, "This guy is very greedy! ”

I pulled it out of his hand and rubbed the wound I had bitten, feeling distressed. If I had to bite my palm like this every day, I would have to die of pain if I didn't give it to the youkai. However, the feeling of the body is obviously much better than before, and the unprecedented feeling of fullness is like a rebirth.

Before the imprint could fade, a strong feeling of hunger struck again. What, is there anything left?

A black figure half as tall as a man suddenly sprang out of the grass and jumped between me and the crane. My hand subconsciously approached the strange black shadow, and the entrance tried to open again.

"Hey! This can't be eaten! Somehow the crane screamed and picked up my freshly arrived lunch. Only then did I see clearly, isn't this the little ghost who gnawed on my finger yesterday, what's wrong, obsessed with my flesh?

"Ha, let me catch it! Let you steal my cigarettes, and I'll give you to her to eat!" The crane pointed at me and said childishly to the big head.

An old man who is hundreds of years old is still angry with children, I really obey him.

"Why are you here?" I asked softly as I looked at the little guy fluttering around in the crane's hands. The boy was so frightened by the crane that he heard him say that I would eat myself, and quickly hid behind the crane. I looked at his big round head, and his small body that didn't fit the proportions at all, and I immediately thought it was very funny.

"I'm afraid!" The crane continued to intimidate him, and the child's big bronze eyes were already full of tears, and he looked at me with fear, and he was about to cry out loud.

I really...... Is it that scary......

"Okay, okay, little ghost, tell me, what the hell is going on?" Tsuru pulled the child out from behind him and asked.

"Yes...... Stuff came in. At last the child spoke, and his childish voice sounded a little trembling, like a ruffled string.

"Don't be afraid, speak slowly." I crouched down and said softly, "What's that?" ”

"Hmm...... Just now, something appeared in the village. He replied, "It's a round, transparent thing, and it looks like there's little bugs in it." ”

After hearing this, Tsuru's cynical smile disappeared suddenly. I rarely see him stern, and this shouldn't be a trivial thing to joke about.

"Collect the dream, let's go and take a look." He said. "There's a big guy who's attracted to you."
