Chapter 26: Unexpected Encounters

Take out the dream potion in the space ring, and rub the lines on the bottle with the thumb of your left hand.

Lift the lid and drink with your neck up.

Zhu Jue patted the forehead of the wind chime, who curled up to the pillow knowingly, and his head was facing the direction of the door.

Lift the quilt and sway from side to side to move into the quilt, close your eyes and wait for the potion to take effect.

After a while, I reached out and scooped the wind chimes outside the quilt into the quilt, and felt that the futon was quickly warmed up, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon Zhu Jue sensed the trance of consciousness, so he relaxed his mind and allowed himself to quickly enter the state.

Unlike the last time he appeared in a high-rise building somewhere in Dawning City, this time Zhu Jue entered the dream place on the street outside the clinic, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the wooden door that appeared in front of him. Step forward and push away.

It was raining behind him, but there was a cool breeze in front of him.

The hazy moonlight only reflected on Zhu Jue's face at first, and after a while, it completely enveloped him, and the crackling sound of the rain falling on the street behind him disappeared.

Time in the dream world is synchronized with the real world, and here it is also the early hours of the morning.

But the environments of the two worlds are very different.

The steel jungle was transformed into a real jungle, and the smoke and fire in the air dissipated without a trace, leaving only the fragrance of plants and trees.

Zhu Jue's field of vision was full of red and yellow maple forests and yellowish grass, and there were squirrels standing on the branches, holding a pine cone in his arms, watching him as an uninvited guest.

The sound of insects echoing the ears, and the occasional stronger wind passing through the woodland, made the sound a little more poignant.

At this time, it was already autumn in the dream realm.

Walking forward on the dead branches and fallen leaves, Zhu Jue recalled the conversation between himself and the adventure team under the Shimmering Gold Chamber of Commerce when he entered the dream realm through the spatial rift.

The dream medicine given by the Dream Brigade can make people descend on the courtyard near Solan City, judging from the surrounding environment, he should be in one of them now, this place Zhu Jue has talked to the adventurers.

The Courtyard Land is an ordinary woodland that is only half the size of the Enchanted Forest, compared to the latter, its vegetation density is not high, and even in many places it is a large meadow, where fierce beasts are almost extinct, and it is said that they were hunted down by the adventurers and hunters of Solan City a long time ago

As long as you pay a little attention, even ordinary people can easily cross or even hang out.

This is where the name of the area comes from, and the residents of Solan City have made it their backyard.

Because Zhu Jue didn't know the specific location of Solan City, he specially asked how to find that city, and the method given to him by the adventure team members was very simple.

Find the Okanoz River and walk along its path to find the Jasper Stairs of Kane outside Solan and the temple that stands on top of it, the latter with its iconic seven towering minarets, so it's not hard to identify.

With this in mind, Zhu Jue stopped, looked around, first found a tree that seemed to be tall enough as a lookout, and stood on the top of the tree to look for the seven spires that the adventure team members mentioned.

However, it turned out that Zhu Jue still overestimated the visibility of the night, and the current time was early in the morning, even if the weather was good, it was impossible for the moon at this time period to allow him to see the situation from a few kilometers away.

Luckily, not being able to see a minaret in the distance doesn't mean you can't see anything up close.

Standing at the top of the tree, Zhu Jue easily spotted the firelight and smoke about 200 meters in front of him.

If you can't find a target with night vision, it's a good idea to ask the local natives, who always know where the temple is.

Without returning to the ground, Zhu Jue took off on the canopy with a slight adjustment of angle, constantly moving and moving through the gravel platform formed by the scavenger at the top of the canopy.

It didn't take long to arrive near the location of the fire.

After leaving the canopy and returning to the ground, it didn't take long for the fire in the woodland ahead to become clear.

When he reached a position where he was still a dozen steps away from the firelight, Zhu Jue suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to a denser tree on the right.

"Friend, I just want to ask for directions, no malice!"

The perception range of twenty meters told Zhu Jue that someone was squatting in that position, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was a sentry, so in order to avoid causing misunderstanding, he took the initiative to speak.

"This time to be in a place like this, ask for directions?"

The other party's response came a few seconds later, and it was clear that Zhu Jue's behavior of wandering alone in the early morning forest could not make the other party trust.

"It's just that I got lost in the woods by accident, and I just want to know how to get to Kane's Jasper Steps or the Temple of the Okanoz River. ”

Zhu Jue thought that this request was not excessive, as long as he could ask the specific location, it didn't matter if he could go to the campfire.

However, what Zhu Jue didn't expect was that his words fell, and a green light swayed on the tree where the person was hidden.

It didn't take long for the direction where the bonfire was located, several figures rushed over, fanning Zhu Jue in the middle, the sophisticated equipment on their bodies and the weapons in their hands shimmering silver in the moonlight.

"I'm just asking for directions...... You're too enthusiastic, I'm sorry. ”

His gaze swept over the people who appeared in front of him, and finally stopped at one of them, Zhu Jue's subconsciously tense body relaxed when he responded to the crisis, and then said somewhat casually,

"I didn't expect to meet you here, I think I'm lucky. ”

"Heh, that's a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

The middle-aged man in a suit of leather armor with bare hands looked at Zhu Jue, and his mind involuntarily remembered the snowstorm he had personally experienced in Pasfica at that time.

That's right, he is the middle-aged man that Zhu Jue met in the Pasfica Black Market in Dawning City and had a brief fight.

The cat statue that led Zhu Jue to the Wusa Temple was something that this guy gave to the former in order to buy his life, when Zhu Jue used a blizzard to forcibly break through the siege of the Archaeological Society, and he disappeared after rushing out.

Who would have thought of meeting here?

"I'm going to Solan City, and I don't know the way to this place for the first time, so I want to ask someone, and I'm a little flattered by your response. ”

Zhu Jue was also looking at the people in front of him as he spoke, there were a total of 5 people around him, 3 of them were injured, one of them was still hanging his arm with a bandage, judging from the faint blood stains on the top, it should have been injured recently.

"Captain Leonard, do you know him?"

Someone leaned into the middle-aged man's ear and whispered.

"The direction this kid came in is like a dream coordinate point we set...... He has the dream potion we made. ”

The production of the dream elixir must have a corresponding advent point in the dream world, and conversely, different advent points mean different recipes, and it is almost impossible to imitate the raw materials of this formula.

That's why he thought that Zhu Jue could come here and use the dream medicine they made.

"In the near future, we should only have provided one person with the dream pill located in the courtyard land, and killed the gentleman's fellow!"

The Dream Pill itself was not a common trade, and Leonard had the impression that the gentlemen in Dawnlight would often use the spatial rift as a bargaining chip to trade with them in this regard.

As the head of the Illusion Brigade in Dawning City, Leonard also knew that the gentleman was banned by a guy who suddenly appeared some time ago, and the spatial rift in his hand also fell into the hands of the other party.

Could this person be him?

"We're not in a good situation right now, it's when we need foreign help, if he is the one who kills the gentleman, he must have a certain strength, and if I remember correctly, the gentleman's subordinate named Black Swan once said that he killed the Dream Eater, so he will fall to our side, and we are now in a state of cooperation with him, maybe we can ......"

"Looking for a partnership?"

Leonard immediately understood the meaning of his companion, but there was not much agreement between the words,

"His strength is indeed extraordinary, but I've only met him once, and the state of cooperation you mentioned is actually more of a transactional relationship, and regardless of the fact that we don't have enough chips in our hands to get him involved, it's a fact that this person killed the gentleman, and as for killing the Dream Eater, it's just their unilateral rhetoric, and rashly revealing our plans to him may be counterproductive. ”

"Captain, you have to understand, now you want to rely on us people themselves can't stop their actions, if he was the person opposite, he should have come out a long time ago, how could he only appear now, he ......"

"Hey, I just want to know how to get to Solan City, is it necessary for you to discuss it for so long?"

Zhu Jue watched the other party talk to each other, and finally asked a little impatiently after waiting for a while.

"I'm the head of the Dream Brigade in Dawning City, and it's okay to tell you where Solan City is, but I wonder if you're the one who outlawed the gentleman?"

Leonard's gaze wandered over the injured companion beside him, and after a few seconds, his expression loosened, and he replied in a loud voice.

"No, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"

Without hesitation, from the state of the group of people opposite and the "sneaky" conversation between the two leaders, Zhu Jue vaguely sensed the trouble.

I said before that I was lucky to meet this guy.

Zhu Jue wanted to take it back.
