Meat cage boundary, by the lake in the city.

The mist curled and a man stood straight, dressed in a tuxedo and wearing a round top hat.

"Root...... It's been missing for a long time. He took a sip of a bottle of beer in his left hand, handed it to his right hand, and said to himself.

"Those guys from the Heavenly Beast God came here a few days ago. The right hand shook the bottle in his hand, and suddenly there seemed to be ice cubes in the beer bottle, and then handed it back to the left hand.

I took another sip of the bottle in my left hand, swallowed it and handed it to my right hand.

"Do you think he's going back?" said the man, putting down the bottle and shoving a cigarette into his mouth.

"I feel like he's stuck around here. The tip of the index finger of his left hand instantly added a slight cluster of flames, and lit the smoke.

"Then let's look for it, after all, he saved us back then. The man took a deep puff of his cigarette, picked up the slender ice-blue cane beside him, and disappeared into the mist.

Lotus Lingyu space, sleeping forest.

"Fighting is the only way to survive in the Dream Desolation Realm, and the spirit is the source energy that urges and stimulates the battle moves. Aside from the specific bizarre abilities that are inextricably linked to adventures, bloodlines, physiques, horcruxes, etc., if you want to enter the Dream Desolate Realm, you must understand and integrate the four basic forms: zero, vertical, solution, and refining. Qingtong and Lian repeated in their hearts what Xiao Hei had taught them.

"Zero: Changing the molecular composition of the air, slowing down or even suspending the dynamics of space and the flow of time. Qingtong slowly closed his eyes, and then a slight cold air emanated from his body, solidifying, slowing down the fresh breeze flowing at his feet.

"Vertical: Control the rules and special properties of objects and even elements, and manipulate them in a certain area. Lianyi stretched out his hand in the air, driving the breeze to lead the flowing water to flutter in the air like a ribbon.

"Solution: Breaking down the object to the basis of the composition to be understood. Qingtong looked at the leaves seriously, took a deep breath, stared at the eyebrows, the veins and leaves of the leaves quietly separated, and he cheered happily.

"Refining: refining the body composition, consuming spiritual power can generate embodied items, and those who are proficient can become craftsmen and forge spiritual weapons. ”

"It's a complete process from change to manipulation to decomposition to reorganization. However, understanding the use of these is the way to exercise the spirit, like the zama step of martial arts, which is the basis for mastering the spirit. Xiao Hei was surprised by the progress of the two of them in these dozens of hours, perhaps because they had a goal in their hearts, or the desire to survive in the face of death threats, they were like sponges absorbing and learning everything quickly.

"This rate of growth ...... I have to admit that even if he was led to the Dream Wasteland, he could be regarded as a genius. Xiao Hei thought that they had been staying in Lian's dream all this time.

"That...... I was pulled in by you, and I know that I am in my own dreams. But I think it's time to go out these days, and my mother will be worried if I don't wake up from my sleep like this......" Lian mustered up the courage to speak up after several times when she wanted to speak.

Xiao Hei looked at Lian's eyes, and a trace of imperceptible emotion flashed in his eyes. Then he settled down and said, "I used a special method to double the speed of time in the dream, but in fact, only about six hours have passed outside. ”

The two children laughed, and the feeling of this life being suddenly stretched several times was very strange.

"It's almost time to go out, and you need to refuel your energy, because the physical weakness caused by hunger is not worth it. What a hassle, what a hassle. Xiao Hei shook his head and closed his eyes, and opened them suddenly. With a flash in their eyes, the two woke up from their dreams.

Qingtong stood up and took care of his clothes: "Well, it's almost time to go...... Nice to meet you. ”

Lian's first attempt at this kind of active dreaming and waking up was an indescribable novelty.

"Wait, wait!" Lian called out to Qingtong. "I have one more question. ”

Qingtong turned back suspiciously, but Lian looked at Xiao Hei. "That...... This way to get in and out of the dream world, and the next ......"

"When you fall into a dream, transfer the consciousness center of the person in the meat cage to the spirit jade, you will naturally enter the dream realm, and in fact, you will enter the consciousness into the spirit jade space. The spiritual jade space is the place where the spirit is stored, that is, the place where the awakening is completed. Blackie paused for emphasis.

"Lingyu space?" Lian silently wrote.

"There is an entrance to this space, if you find this entrance, you can achieve the connection with the dream, which is why we can find you, for example, Qingtong's spiritual jade space is a labyrinth, and here you is the forest, according to the characteristics, the composition of each person's spiritual jade space will be different......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hei paused, she still cared very much about why Qingtong's Lingyu space was such a neat labyrinth, because Lingyu has a special connection with the Dream Wilderness, the so-called Lingyu Space is a virtual reflection similar to a mirage in a remote corner of the Dream Wilderness Realm, and the space environment is the natural environment of the alpine desert. Although there are many ruins, tombs, and dangerous places in the Dream Desolation Realm, these areas that will be covered by the spiritual power of powerful guardians will not reveal their internal structure, and how can this situation be projected onto a meat cage realm kid.

Xiao Hei quickly jumped out of this thought and continued, "Dreaming is the apostle's method of attracting awakened spirits only in the meat cage realm. Therefore, for the guidance of the awakened spirits, they usually choose the night, because most of the awakened spirits' work and rest habits are still in the inertia before the unbroken body jade. After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he jumped on Qingtong's shoulder.

"You have to practice a lot of what you teach. The next time we come back, it's time to fend off the Dream Desolation Apostle who took you out of this world. Qingtong looked at her with a firm look in his eyes, he who had been in contact with the fangs knew best, if he wanted to resist the strength of the apostle, a powerful spiritual cultivator who wanted to resist the strength of the apostle, it was far from enough to rely on his own cultivation in just a few days, so under Xiao Hei's suggestion, Qingtong must cultivate together with the awakened spirit lotus that should have been taken away by the rat beast Fang, in order to have a little more vitality.

Lian lowered her eyes, as if she was about to cry: "Thank you." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, at that time, whether you can live or not is two words......" The little black eyes flashed with a deep light.

Meat cage boundary, the edge of the city.

A group of people sat around a campfire. The dim glow of the fire shone on everyone's face.

"It seems that there is a lost spirit again, will we have one more companion......" An old, gentle voice sounded.

"Will it succeed, will it fail, will it succeed, will it fail?" said a clown, as if practicing, saying repetitive lines and exchanging faces with joy and anger.

"Be quiet. A thin man holding a long sword snorted coldly and took a sip of wine.

"Be quiet, be quiet~" said a parrot, and then a woman fed a mouthful of meat, and everyone sitting around laughed.

"Commander, have you found the exact location?" the sturdy man was wrapping his hands in bandages. Wrap it around your wrist and pull the bandage apart, and make a look at the listless guy opposite.

A throwing knife cut the bandage in a flash, and the knife made a bend and flew back into the hands of the listless little brother, whirling on his fingertips. The little brother yawned deeply.

"Are you ready, let's go to sleep. Midori will take you there. The old man's gentle voice sounded.

The golden-robed old man's cane waved slightly, and a circle of ripples rippled in the surrounding space, and the bonfire grass began to twist, and everyone fell asleep.

"Come, come, come. A little girl ran up to the old man in a panic, holding a few blankets in her hands. Suddenly a fog rose around the campfire.

The old man smiled: "It's easy to catch a cold when you fall asleep like this, it's really troublesome for you......"

The girl giggled and draped the blanket over everyone, including the parrot named Little Green. Then lay yourself in the empty space. When he was done, he lay down in the blanket and fell asleep.

The golden-robed old man looked at the sleeping people in front of him, took off the regimental commander's hat on his head, and sighed deeply.

"Come out. ”

Out of the shadows at the edge of the firelight came a figure with a cane, bowing slightly.

"Commander. The figure made two sounds.

"Fog, it's impossible for this group of people to join your black coffin, you should know it in your heart...... Each of them had a reason to stay in this meat cage world. The head of the regiment squinted, and then his voice changed: "Of course, if you come to me to catch up, you are very welcome." The old man raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down by the fire.

The fog was the man's name, given to the fact that wherever he went, he was surrounded by mist.

"We are returning to the meat cage this time to investigate the ......whereabouts of the roots," said Fog with his left hand raised.

The head of the regiment sighed: "Those of us on the edge of the meat cage realm are really a blessing to be able to survive for a long time. ”

"Don't you know, Commander?" said Mist with his right hand raised.

"Ahem, I can feel his breath. The regiment commander said slowly.

"But ......" the head of the regiment changed his words: "The sense of connection to the roots...... has become looming, insignificant, and even ...... I'm not sure if he's alive or not in a normal state. Even if you are alive...... That must have been hit hard. ”

"Did the Beast God's guys do it?" Mist clenched his hands, still trying to find an old acquaintance who lives in the meat cage world to confirm the recent situation of the meat cage.

"It's been 10 years since that fight. The regimental commander filled the bonfire with firewood, and then continued: "After the battle ten years ago, didn't it be clearly written in the content of the [Co-enforcement Contract] that the black coffin and the beast god jointly had the right to extradite the awakened spirit of the ninth district of the meat cage......" The regiment commander said that although the war caused pain to both sides, the contract did mention the content of peaceful coexistence.

"What is the motive to make such a heavy hand, but I don't think that the people of the tribe and the Dragon Palace have the motive to come all the way to do such an unpleasant thing. Fog picked up the conversation, but was confused.

The head of the regiment slapped a pot of wine and threw it to the fog: "Then again, it's the beast god's turn to be the extradition right this time." The old man asked.

Fog took a sip of wine and nodded.

"The time when the root's qi suddenly weakened coincided with the time of the beast god's extradition night......" The old man paused: "I don't want to be presumptuous, maybe you should go to the young man who is protected by the root...... That will be a complete confirmation. As soon as the old man finished speaking, the fog seemed to have stood up.

"If you talk about motivation, maybe the point of conflict is the teenager. But Gendu has been hit so hard, can that young man, still be here......" Fog clasped his hands and looked at the distant starry sky.

"After all, we have received the favor of the roots, maybe, the time has come to repay the favor......" Mist looked back at the head of the group, and two voices came out of his mouth at the same time.

"Promise me one thing. The head of the regiment took a sip of wine, and his tone was full of momentum that could not be refused.

Fog nodded.

"Lost Spirit, you'd better not get involved in ......" The Captain turned to the fog, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"I'm only looking into the roots, as for the lost spirits...... "Mist threw the flask in his hand to the head of the troupe, "It's up to the circus boys." ”

The regimental commander pointed into the distance: "Coincidentally, the place where the lost spirit and the root were seriously injured are very close to ......"

"Could there be any connection?" Mist pondered but didn't ask, he bowed slightly to the regimental leader, and a wave of breath fluctuated before disappearing.

The fog gradually lifted, and the girl in the blanket rolled over and continued to sleep.

The head of the regiment looked at a streamer flying in the air and helped the little girl pull the blanket on her body: "Hahaha, it's really interesting." ”
