Chapter 12: Night-Tapir Tapir Dreams
This is a strange looking beast, its body is like a bear and a leopard, but it is very tall, like a yellow-black wall, Qin Xuan wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xu Xinya, the two watched it walk slowly, and finally stopped in front of Qin Xuan.
"What is this?" Qin Xuan asked softly.
"The tapir, a strange beast that walks in the darkness and leaves legendary dreams in various worlds, is also a kind of mountain and sea beast. β
Legend has it that the tapir, also known as the dream tapir, is a kind of beast that will wander in the deep and secluded forest under the hazy moonlight, quietly come to the place where mortals live, and feed on people's nightmares.
"Is this a tapir?"
The dream tapir seemed to hear Qin Xuan's voice, only to see it raise its long trunk, roll up Qin Xuan's waist, and then put it on his back, seeing this, Xu Xinya on the side smiled: "It looks like she likes you very much, little brother Xuan." β
"Scared me, I thought it was going to attack me. β
"Anla, in theory, except for fierce beasts, all mountain and sea beasts can communicate, and a kind beast like the dream tapir is protected by the demon painter," Xu Xinya smiled and jumped onto the dream tapir's spacious back, sat down next to Qin Xuan, and said: "The demon painter has a clear rule that you are not allowed to capture the dream tapir without authorization, because most of the dream tapirs do the work of transportation, and they bring travelers into the dream world, and shuttle through it, so as to go to other worlds. β
"Other worlds?!"
Qin Xuan has never even been out of the province in his life, but who would think, if he doesn't go out, forget it, once he goes out, it will be directly another world.
"I heard," Xu Xinya whispered in Qin Xuan's ear, "Some demon painters were taken to the world after death by the dream tapir because of an accident." β
"The world after death?" Qin Xuan asked, "Then, how did they come back?"
"I can't come back," Xu Xinya said with a smile: "If you go to the world after death, you will naturally be dead, how can you go back to the dead, ouch!" Maybe it was Xu Xinya's words that angered the dream tapir, and the dream tapir knocked Xu Xinya's head with her nose, and at the same time, a mature and gentle voice sounded in Qin Xuan's ears: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I won't do that kind of thing." β
"Hey?" Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then leaned on top of the dream tapir's head and asked, "Were you talking to me just now?"
"It's me, you're the first time you've seen a guest," Dream Tapir's voice is very gentle and pleasant, making people feel like they are in their mother's arms, no wonder Dream Tapir is a kind beast, just by giving people the feeling, which crazy person will hurt: "Where are you going to travel, I can take you there at once." β
"Bamboo Forest Village. β
Xu Xinya said the destination first to Qin Xuan, and then said to Qin Xuan: "This is the 'tapir dream', a kind of night tapir, wherever you want to go in the future, you can summon her in the forest, she will come over as soon as possible, in addition, the price is one nightmare at a time." β
"Nightmares?"
Can this be traded?
"There are two ways to trade, the first is to let the tapir eat your nightmare factor before riding, so that you won't have nightmares for a long time," what if you don't have nightmares, of course it's a sweet dream:" and the second is to store your nightmares before summoning the tapir next time, and then give them to her when the time comes. β
"I recommend the second one," at this time, the tapir's voice sounded, "The nightmare factor is boring, or is the ready-made nightmare more delicious." β
The nightmare factor is like rice, which can be eaten to the full, but has no taste, while ready-made nightmares are all kinds of delicious dishes, which are not only filling, but also have an excellent taste.
"But I don't store nightmares... β
"Huh, kid, you have nightmares on you," Tapir Meng put his nose on the top of Qin Xuan's head and asked, "Can you give it to me?"
"I have a nightmare? β
Tapirs eat nightmares instead of sweet dreams, so they don't hurt people at all, not only does it not hurt, but it can also calm their hearts and drive away some bad curses and even disasters, and as the tapir dreams eat Qin Xuan's nightmares, Qin Xuan only felt refreshed for a while, this feeling was like the packages that had been thrown off for many days at once, and at this time, the tapir dreams said: "What a painful dream, although for me, this is incomparably delicious, but for you, child, I express my regrets." β
Only then did Qin Xuan understand what the so-called nightmare of the tapir dream was, since the death of his sister, Qin Xuan had hardly slept well, although this was not a real nightmare, but in the long run, countless pains and loneliness piled up together, it was not a good thing, and now it was okay, the tapir dream was eaten in one breath, in this way, the sadness and pain that Qin Xuan had accumulated before were naturally swept away, even if there were negative emotions later, it was brand new, and it had nothing to do with the previous one, which obviously brought Qin Xuan a lot of helpγ
"That, thank you. β
"You're welcome, that's what I do for a living. Tapir Meng had a very good impression of Qin Xuan, and said that if there was a need in the future, just summon her, be on call, and do not charge any fees: "Just take it as the reward for the delicious nightmare before." β
"Yo !!"
As for Xu Xinya, after she gave the nightmare she had stored to Tapir Meng, she playfully pestled Qin Xuan and said, "The kid is lucky, he got a contract beast so quickly." β
"Pact, Pact Beast?"
"yes, the irregular contract beasts. "According to Xu Xinya's meaning, there are many kinds of contract beasts, including combat, non-combat, permanent, and equal, such as the current tapir dream and Qin Xuan, they have signed an equal contract, as long as Qin Xuan wants to travel through time and space in the future, the tapir dream will come over and give him help within his ability.
Well, it seems, that's true...
"This, very strange?"
"It's not just a rarity!" "The demon painter is also a human being, and there are all kinds of comparisons with people, so what is the comparison, it is nothing more than wealth and status, not to mention him in terms of status, but with Qin Xuan's contract with a tapir, he earned enough face.
What is a tapir, a strange beast that can assimilate with the demon painter and the dream, and then shuttle through the world, to put it bluntly, isn't it a mount, it's a car!
What does a luxury car mean to the Blue Star people, this doesn't need to be explained by Qin Xuan, right?
Although the tapir will not help Qin Xuan fight and fight, but the ability to shuttle anytime and anywhere has also greatly improved Qin Xuan's mobility, this has not become a demon painter, it has come out like this, even Xu Xinya was jealous, I saw her pat the tapir Meng's head and said: "I said you, I have been with you for so many years, you are not willing to sign a contract with me, this kid only came up once and you pasted it upside down, I am very sad, tapir Meng." β
However, the tapir said that he did not speak, in fact, the tapir is a very arrogant beast, they serve countless demon painters, but they never sign a contract with the demon painter, just like Xu Xinya, she and the tapir dream established a long-term cooperation, because every time it is the first ride, pay later, and use the last fare to pay for this trip, and this is also the choice of countless demon painters, and only in this way, the next time the demon painter calls them, the tapir will remember these passengers who did not give the nightmare last time, and in the long run, there will be a relatively fixed tapir beast.
As far as Xu Xinya knew, she really hadn't seen anyone who could sign a contract with a tapir, but unfortunately this was an equal contract, if it was a master-servant contract, then Qin Xuan would be rich.
"Rich, what rich?"
It's no wonder that Xu Xinya can't get the approval of the tapir, she actually wants to sell the 'tapir' as a commodity, but my tapir sister said that she can even see through the dream, not to mention the inner thoughts, the dirty soul of the demon painter can not get her approval, in contrast, Qin Xuan's heart is as pure as a blank piece of paper, especially the fragrant demon power, what kind of nightmare can compare to the taste of this demon power, if he can stay by his side, the tapir dream feels that he no longer needs to pick up customers everywhere all day long.
'Otherwise, after this wave of business, I'll be this child's contract beast... β
If Xu Xinya knew what Tapir Meng thought at this time, it is estimated that she would kill Qin Xuan fiercely, and then run wildly towards the coastline, and finally knelt in the sunset and shouted: 'God, this is not fair!'
"Let's go, sit tight, kid. β
As soon as Tapir Meng's words fell, a white fog rose around his body, and he saw Tapir Dream strolling in the white fog, walking and walking, and suddenly turned into a golden ocean with no sky and no earth in front of him, Tapir Dream was like a small dust, running in this golden world, and around Qin Xuan, small balls flashing with pictures flew past him.
"This is the border of the Dream Sea, one of the countless ways to the Dream China. Compared to this world, the tapir dream is negligible, and she is not so much walking as a stroll, but such a leisurely action makes Qin Xuan have a feeling of transcending time, like a minute, like a second, sometimes Qin Xuan even has the illusion of going back in time.
"It's here!"
With the voice of the tapir dream, Qin Xuan's eyes flashed, and the next moment, he saw a gray-white archway appear in front of him, and on the archway, the words 'Bamboo Forest Village' were written.
"Zhulin Village has arrived. Tapir Dream slowly walked through the archway, Qin Xuan looked left and right, and found that there were a lot of pedestrians around, they were either riding tapir beasts, or birds, or lion and tiger-like monsters, the strangest thing was that it was a girl with a few white clouds floating around her, maybe she found Qin Xuan's surprised gaze, Xu Xinya introduced: "That's white woven cotton." β
As the girl turned around, Qin Xuan saw the appearance of these white clouds, with cute big eyes and cute little hands on them, like a little girl lying in the clouds: "This is also a mountain and sea beast?"
Damn, there's still this mountain and sea beast!
"The mountains and seas are so big, there are no surprises, there are hundreds of thousands of species of mountain and sea beasts, and there are hundreds of thousands of known species, so there is nothing surprising when you become a real demon painter in the future. β
"Then I'll go first," Tapir Meng sent the two to the place, naturally going back, generally speaking, the tapir beast will not appear in a crowded place, because more people represent noisy, and the tapir beast likes to be quiet: "See you next time, child." β
"My name is Qin Xuan. β
"Remember," Tapir Meng walked towards the outside of Zhulin Village, and gradually disappeared into the white mist: "I'll come to you... β
