Qingtong Lingyu space.

Xiao Hei was suspended in the air, watching Qingtong not far away working hard to break through the maze.

All the areas that have been run through are becoming clearer and clearer in Qingtong's mind. Dead ends, traps, and patterns of change are all recorded after being swallowed up by the nightmare shadow over and over again. With the growth of spiritual power, Qingtong has become closer and closer to the center of the maze. It's just that the more complex this labyrinth is towards the center, the more difficult it is to break through.

Qingtong didn't know how long her road was, and the labyrinths that surrounded her were like endless and undulating. Xiao Hei said: The trigger condition of the Dream Gate is not simply to reach the designated area, the real trigger of the Dream Gate should be when the spiritual power strength reaches the critical point of breakthrough. And for the accident when the war rat beast is teething, it should be that the root has made a special emergency measure.

The dark labyrinth at this time was very different from before, the high black walls that formed the labyrinth were covered with vines and a slight wind, and the world was different from the lifeless before, and now it was full of life.

The weak spirit of the root is placed in the spirit jade space of Qingtong, which can be regarded as the seed of the life of the vines on these labyrinths, and what drives these vines to grow to flourish in a short period of time should be the property left here after the death of the long fangs, that is, the credit of the [aura] in the unawakened Jue collected before.

From the death battle that Qingtong brought her out of the battle ten years ago, to the spiritual jade space of the dark labyrinth in Qingtong's body, to the death-defying protection of a person with the strength of a black coffin apostle, and now the devouring and absorption of the root spirit jade here and the automatic ablation of the scattered fangs, the more she pondered Xiao Hei, the more she felt that Qingtong seemed to be an endless mystery. Strangely enough, however, this mystery seems to be unknown to even him.

Maybe the root of everything is clearer.

Before Xiao Hei actually made a move, he had been secretly observing the entire battle between Gen and the rat beast.

Before Gen was fatally attacked, he transferred the spirit jade core to the third iron stake in the wooden puppet's body, only to complete the continuation of another form of life, and at the same time, the root of the wood ability was integrated into Qingtong's spirit jade space, which was also a big gift to Qingtong.

She had also searched the site of the battle between Fangs and Roots, and found the wooden golem that had been burned by Fang's fire, and the third iron stake, which had not been used, was indeed hidden behind the golem, and was firmly planted in the high walls of the labyrinth, covered with covering vines.

"The dream itself is a lie, and the dreamer himself is the king. However, they themselves do not know. ”

"Only when the spirit awakens, will it know that the dreamer himself is the master of his own spirit jade space. ”

When Qingtong was running and tossing in the labyrinth, he always silently recited some of the words that Xiao Hei told him, saying that when he could fully understand the meaning, he would be on the verge of awakening.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Meat cage boundary, attic on the edge of the city.

It started to rain in the city, and the days were gray these days. The clouds that had been gathering for a long time finally came into play.

Lian looked out the window. This rain is the same as her mood, lost, frustrated, nostalgic, and reluctant.

This world ...... How much longer can I hold out?

She opened the window and put her hand into the rain. The rainwater drops on the hand, and the feeling of the rain beating cold at this time can only be felt. She pressed her eyelids and felt a little tired.

Qing Tong and Xiao Hei, will they come over? Lian had very complicated emotions in his heart, and he didn't know whether he should look forward to Qing Tong and Xiao Hei at this time, or should he reject them.

"The rain ~ is the dust of the sky,

I'm just ~a mayfly in this universe~.

Heaven and earth ~ is the gravel of the starry sky,

You're ~an oasis in the gravel~"

A tactful voice pierced through the sky and through the heavy rain, humming leisurely into Lian's ears.

Lian looked over with the voice. She could clearly see far away in the sky, an old man with a hat slowly rocking his oars, sliding a flat boat through the rolling clouds.

If you have this kind of vision...... Lian was startled, indicating that she had fallen into a dream. She looked back into the room behind her. Sure enough, except for a window that confuses vision, reproducing the realistic rain scene of the city outside the window, the room behind him has a completely different appearance.

When? Lian couldn't think clearly, she got up and ran quickly. Because she knew that the reaper from the dream wilderness that Xiao Hei said was here now. Come and take her out of this world.

But...... After running a few steps, she stopped.

The river flowed and tumbled in the sky and continued upward, with clouds under its feet joining into white earth, fish flying overhead, birds running on the ground, the sound of flowing water and the rustling of the wind. The upside-down world full of life, this is not her forest-like spirit jade space at all, that is to say, the person who came is not the reaper of the dream famine?

So...... What the hell is this place, and who's the person?

Suddenly, her pupils shrank, as if she thought of something, this world, could it be......

The old man in the hat slowly stopped the boat beside her, she did not continue to run, this quiet and peaceful atmosphere made Lian feel very safe, and she could not afford to have a trace of fear.

The old man in the hat bowed down and disembarked, slowly raising his head, revealing an eye through the crack in the old hat.

"You...... Who are you? Where have we met?" to Lian's surprise, she felt very familiar with this face, and it seemed to have some kind of connection.

The old man opened a picture book. This is a painting that Lian painted when she was a child: the sky flows and the white clouds swallow the ground, but the stroke in this cloud is really her own unintentional move. Could it be that this stroke is that leaf boat?

"Who the hell are you?" asked Lian.

"Don't be nervous~ You are standing in the world you have built, why are you afraid?" The old man's expression was kind, and his words were peaceful, and this voice made her feel peaceful.

Lian panicked for a moment, and the old man returned to the boat, holding the oars in his hand, and the boat went away. A voice slowly fell: "When you can meet me again, you can get rid of your worries~"

The voice echoed in the sky, and Lian woke up, as if she had fallen asleep.

It was still raining outside the window, and nothing had changed, was it just a dream just now? She had long since been unable to distinguish between the true and the false, there were a lot of things that subverted her logic lately, if it wasn't a ridiculous dream, then the old man in the hat was more like he had come to give him some kind of hint.

Standing in the world he has built, why be afraid?!

With a creak, she heard the sound of a door slowly opening behind her. Mother came back a little early today? Lian turned around, a pair of scarlet eyes flickering in the shadows. The shape of the room distorted, and the freeze frame was slowly opened into a curtain, behind which was the sleeping forest.

Lian looked at the steel body in front of her, which was several times larger than herself, and took a deep breath. The moment she felt the chill emanating from the other party's body, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and the air around the steel body suddenly contracted, and subtle sparks flickered. Several explosions rang out, "Bang bang bang." ”

"I've long since hidden the fire at the entrance of my spirit jade space. It's not a good habit to explode when hot and cold collide, and release the Zero when you meet. Lian said behind the water shield that she casually lifted to protect herself.

"Hahahaha, what a miscalculation. I've been calculating all day long, but I didn't expect to be calculated by a spirit who has just awakened here, is it retribution...... Ahahahaha!" The figure laughed a little shaky.

"I really had a lot of surprises today. The laughter stopped abruptly, and Iron Beak suddenly changed his personality, and he was very calm. "I'll take every prey seriously, and that fangy idiot probably died from a light enemy. As he spoke, the spirit abacus was suspended in mid-air.

"Which is it...... Spiritual weapon?" Lian thought silently in her heart, although she had rehearsed the scene countless times in her mind, she was still nervous in the face of the real Dream Desolation Apostle.

Xiao Hei said that most of the apostles used spiritual weapons. This weapon was created by the craftsman of the Dream Desolation Realm. These craftsmen are a group that uses the [refining] in the four spirit styles that she and Qingtong have not started to the extreme and specializes in smelting equipment.

This artifact is modeled after a Horcrux, and the infusion of spiritual power can greatly increase the user's own strength.

The water shield in the lotus hand belongs to the transformation weapon, which is condensed by the consumption spirit to exert vertical control of the element, which is the same as the knife and bomb conjured during the battle between Qingtong and Long Fang, a whole level of low spirit weapon.

However, the Transformer can obtain what the summoner wants, and when used correctly, it can often do wonders. Just as Qingtong's original long knife of the transformer was smashed and turned into iron powder to confuse the vision, the shape of the transformer can be changed accordingly. Underneath the weapon is the weapon of the meat cage realm, whether it is a knife or a firearm, it can only be used by relying on the hardness of the material used and the fixed method, and cannot change its form as you like with the attack gap.

Nervous, Lian could only silently recite the concepts that Xiao Hei had conveyed to her. Is there any hint in this? Can you give it a little bit? But I still can't figure it out after thinking about it.

"Is it necessary for you to be so serious about dealing with a beginner?" Ren tried to communicate with Iron Beak, delaying a little time and waiting for Aokiri's arrival.

"You're not a simple beginner, looking at this posture, it seems that the four spirit styles have been introduced, I'm afraid you have reached the primary level of the awakened Chong Spirit Realm. Iron Beak's eyes flashed when he said this, unless he had outstanding qualifications, how could he realize so much in just a few days, he deliberately accentuated the words on the Awakened and Chong Spirit Realm, if she knew these two words, there must be other strong people behind her who taught her.

Iron Beak's earnestness was not superfluous, it was cautious, and he began to feel faintly uneasy, and from the results of the inference after encountering the fog of the black coffin, he felt more and more that perhaps the truth was the worst-case scenario.

In the ninth area of the meat cage at the junction of the beast god and the black coffin force, there is a strong man with the hidden power of the dream desolation realm, and that is the reason why he killed the beast god apostle with long teeth and severely damaged the black coffin chessboard.
