No.123 Dire-Nightgaunt-
A dark and eerie forest, silent and eerie. Thick shadows roamed this wicked swampy jungle, as cold and secluded as the deepest part of the ocean floor, instilling fear.
The bone-rotting dead trees stood on top of the swamp, blown by the strange wind, making a "squeak" sound.
The light dimmed, and the fog thickened, like blood and tears from corpses, winding over the land, making the swamp even darker and damp. The dirt and trees also seemed to be corroded by the thick fog, and the air was filled with a suffocating stench.
Under the foul-smelling swamp pool, Ye Yan's whole body was already adhered to the black rotten soil, and his nasal cavity was also covered with foul smell, and he couldn't breathe a little fresh air.
The thick disgusting tentacles covered Ye Yan's chirp, pulling it into the depths of darkness like the claws of a hellish demon. All imaginable horrors completely occupied Ye Yan's mind, but what he saw the most was his brother's vague back.
"Ah......h
He wanted to call for something, but under the huge tentacles and the sludge wrapped, Ye Yan couldn't make any sound. He wanted to pray for that reassuring figure to appear, and he also wanted to deny the blind foolishness beyond the world, but after all, he couldn't resist the strange darkness, and he couldn't escape the fate of being destroyed......
Will there be sanctions? Will it disappear into the darkness?
In the darkness, his fate is depicted, and the scenery is pale at this moment, and then it becomes cold.
The sight is crumbling, the soul is disintegrating. The blurry white dots of light overlapped the huge unspeakable god, and the despair deeply pierced Ye Yan's body......
What kind of fate is this?
The boy in the darkness let out a desperate roar.
In pursuit of judgment, in order to get a glimpse of the great truth, he was finally buried under the abyss of darkness and filth. Not even anything was done, the meaning of returning from the United States is unknown. Even if it were, it didn't deserve to end like this!
I haven't been able to help my brother yet.
I haven't been able to cry and say sorry to my brother!
Ordered darkness, disordered chaos.....
The pursuit of orderly darkness, so should be lived, and then died without concern after being judged. If it is to fall into darkness, you should go to the end alone in the disappointed eyes of your brother, instead of being buried in the darkness by the blind and foolish truth!
The boy in the darkness reached out to the swamp, and the deadly heaviness made his arm almost dislocate. If it was like denying him salvation, the twisted and thick tentacles began to crawl towards Ye Yan's arm......
Suddenly, a ray of light pierced the heavy darkness and shone on Ye Yan's filthy face. It was as if he saw a hand reaching out to him again, with longing and hope.
After seeing those hands full of brilliance, Ye Yan held him tightly without any hesitation! In this instant, Ye Yan felt a warmth flowing in his heart, and the blazing temperature of that hand constantly made Ye Yan's cold consciousness wake up.
Then the hand dragged Ye Yan towards the light, but the tentacles that were wrapped around his body did not seem to let Ye Yan out of this dark and cold filthy place, they tightly wrapped around Ye Yan's body like a resentful spirit that died in vain, and pulled him deep into the swamp.
Light and darkness, hope and evil. The two forces were constantly fighting with each other, but Ye Yan yearned for that light, and that hand also burst out with an incomparably amazing power, actually pulling Ye Yan out of the swamp along with the tentacles wrapped around his body!
Before he knew what the situation was, in an instant, two red rays of light hit the tentacles wrapped around Ye Yan's body. A part of the tentacles stretched out was splashed with beaten flesh, and it let go of Ye Yan in pain, and immediately retracted back into the swamp.
Ye Yan was led out of the swamp by the owner of that hand, and when he reacted, he found out that the owner of that hand was his brother who had been thinking about it for a long time, Ye Yifan!
"Sorry for the research, I'm late."
Ye Yifan smiled warmly, he didn't care about the sludge on Ye Yan's body at all, he just gently wiped the materials on Ye Yan's face with both hands.
"Brother......
Looking at Ye Yifan's gentle face, Ye Yan finally couldn't help but shed tears. His fiery tears flowed onto Ye Yifan's hands, making Ye Yifan sigh what a good child, why should he suffer such a sin?
"Okay, don't cry, you're safe. Let's go back now......" Ye Yifan rubbed Ye Yan's black hair, he was just about to lead Ye Yan in one direction, but at this time, Ye Yan suddenly hugged him and cried: "Brother! I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
Ye Yifan didn't know why Ye Yan apologized, but he was very distressed. Obviously, at home, this child has never suffered anything, but since he came to his side, everything has changed. First it was Zigera, then it was the whisper, and now it was mired in the quagmire......
This kid must have suffered a lot here.
Thinking of this, Ye Yifan sighed deeply, he stroked Ye Yan's back and said, "Okay Yan, you don't need to apologize to me." You are my relative, so no matter what kind of suffering, my brother will definitely save you. Now let's go back first, and then I'll listen to what I have to say. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Yan let go of Ye Yifan. Although he had a lot of things to say, it was obviously inappropriate in this dark and strange special space.
But how did my brother find this place? Why do you know your location...... How is he going to bring himself back?
As if to answer Ye Yan's doubts, a few strange figures suddenly emerged from behind the trees. Although they bear a striking resemblance to humans, their faces resemble those of dogs. The claws were slender and leaned forward, and the rubber-like skin was stained with a black unknown substance, which made people disgusted.
Seeing that kind of monster attacking Ye Yifan from the bushes, Ye Yan subconsciously blocked in front of him, but Ye Yifan smiled and said, "Yan, don't be nervous, they are our companions?" ”
Companion?
Seeing that group of aliens walking behind Ye Yifan, Ye Yan was a little puzzled, when will my brother become friends with aliens?
But that's exactly what happened. The outlier behind Ye Yifan is the ghoul.
When he heard that Ye Yan's consciousness was left in the dream realm, Ye Yifan immediately thought of the ghouls on Luoguang Mountain. Although it is not clear whether they still exist in Luoguang Mountain, Ye Yifan still drove to a section of Zhongmai Village overnight.
After the tragedy of the dreamland, the buildings around JM Village completely disappeared, as if they had never existed. But Ye Yifan still had the mentality of giving it a try, and shouted the names of the ghouls to the mountains, and as a result, those ghouls really appeared in front of Ye Yifan's eyes.
Knowing the power of light contained in that young man, the ghouls did not dare to act rashly, they were afraid that this guy would kill them completely if he was not careful, so they cautiously asked him the purpose of coming. Ye Yifan said that he was going to go to the Dream Realm to save a very important person, and by the way, he also wanted to know about the situation of the old rulers.
The Dream Realm is full of ghoul lairs, so it is not difficult to do this, but the ghouls are also afraid that Ye Yifan will mess around. In order to stabilize his emotions, the ghoul opened the passage to the dream realm and accompanied him here.
Then Ye Yifan took out a piece of Ye Yan's personal belongings and asked them if they could find the owner of this thing. The ghouls said yes, after all, they feed on human flesh and have a much more sensitive sense of smell than dogs, so they followed the smell left by Ye Yan and found the swamp.
What happened later, that's now. After listening to the ins and outs of what Ye Yifan said, Ye Yan also let go of his vigilance against ghouls, and at the same time greeted them politely.
"There's no need to say hello, you humans won't trouble us in the future......" The ghouls said in a hurried crying tone, and although that was their original tone, they really wanted to cry.
knew that they were tool ghosts, and they shouldn't have met Ye Yifan at that time.
"You don't need this, my promise will be fulfilled, so send us back." Ye Yifan shrugged his shoulders and said, he only needs to send Ye Yan back now, and the incident will be completely over.
The ghouls knew that Ye Yifan had made a promise to defeat the old rulers and protect them. It's a good thing for them, so they're allies between them, so this little favor still needs to help.
Then, the five ghouls began to chant the incantation, and the space in front of Ye Yifan and the two of them fluctuated slightly, and he knew that this was the way to reality.
But before the road to reality could be opened, there was a strange sound in the dark jungle, and a "rustle" of leaves swaying came closer to them......
Suddenly, a group of anomalies with bat wings gathered from above. At this moment, Ye Yifan's inspiration exploded, and before he could react, those aliens with bat wings grabbed the five ghouls who chanted spells and took them to the sky.
Looking at the group of aliens with whale-like smooth skin and a pair of bat-like wings, Ye Yifan was stunned. They didn't make any sound in flight, not even the sound of flapping their wings, and it was because of this that the aliens took the ghouls away by surprise.
Ye Yifan watched as the ghouls were harassed by a group of alien tails, and he wanted to draw a gun to help, but in the next moment, the sharp tails of the aliens pierced the ghouls' hearts, and then tore their bodies apart.
Disgusting black flesh and blood dripped like rain on Ye Yifan and Ye Yan's faces, and all this happened too suddenly, causing the brains of the two to still be down. When Ye Yan reacted, he was frightened by this impactful bloody picture, and he couldn't stop trembling.
Because the aliens are the ones who threw them in the dark swamp!
Thinking of what the group of aliens had done to him, Ye Yan couldn't help but gasp for breath and retch, because he was so scared.
Ye Yifan saw the creepy aliens in the air, and suddenly felt a little familiar, when he saw that the group of aliens had no faces, but there was a blank space like faces, he immediately remembered the identity of that alien.
Dire, a flying creature that inhabits the Dreamland. They all roam the corners of the Dream Realm in groups, then sneak up on their prey, suddenly grab their weapons, and subdue them.
If the prey resists, the Dire will tickle them with its tail. It's not so much an itch, it's actually a matter of making the prey restless with all sorts of nasty actions. When the prey loses resistance, they will grab the prey, take it away, and finally throw it in the most terrifying place imaginable to die.
That's how the Dire overwhelms, tramples on its pride, leaves it bewildered, and finally descends into a frenzy.
This is what the ghoul told Ye Yifan about the illusionary dream realm, so Ye Yifan knows that kind of creature very well! The reason why Ye Yan was trapped in the dark swamp was probably because of the group of Dire.
However, the Ghouls also say that most of the Dire also worship the Old God Nordens, and that they are sometimes used as ghouls' mounts. Just why did the Dire kill the ghouls directly? They don't usually kill their prey easily, right?
Ye Yifan guessed that the group of Dires should be whispering servants. Seeing that he was going to take his brother out of the dreamland, the whisper sent the Dire to kill the only ghoul who could open the passage for him.
In doing so, they won't be able to get out of the dreamland!
