Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Nightmare Barrier
When they reached the periphery of the Spiritual Tree, they realized that the monster had no actual form - to be exact, the Spiritual Tree was made up of a large hazy light blue mist.
This mist makes up the outline of the tree, as well as the shape of the branches and vines, which constantly sway in the night breeze.
"Evolution, the thirst for spirituality, and the ability to pollute efficiently." The Banshee Monarch looked ahead with interest, "It's an exquisite Dividing Transcendent Law configuration, but it can be seen that there are traces of shoddy technical adjustments inside. ”
"This thing must have been put by someone from within the Holy See, right? What a fool...... Rather than relying on this thing to destroy the transcendent, in the end the whole world will suffer because of it. This thing is not a dead thing, as long as it evolves randomly for 2-3 generations, and after the traces of technology left in it are eliminated, no one will be able to control it anymore. ”
"When the time comes, your world, where the upper limit of your level is not enough, is destined to be dragged into a dead silence by it. Thank you, Mier, at least for now. ”
"How?" Asker asked.
"First we have to get to the heart of it." The Banshee King replied, "Go a kilometer or two deeper into here, narrow down the area you need to search, and then talk." ”
So Aske led the group inside. As his body was immersed in the pale blue mist, the erosion that had been suppressed on the surface of his body suddenly became violent.
"Can you do that 'Walk the Talk' again?" Feeling the intensity of the erosion, Aske couldn't help but ask, "Like, 'You can't be eroded,' or something like that?" ”
"I can't." "Now that we're inside it, anyone who activates their abilities will inevitably attract its attention. ”
"So until we find the core of it, not only me, but everyone can't make a move at will, so as not to expose themselves in advance."
"But we may not be able to withstand the enhanced erosion." Aske frowned and said, "So, I have a law skill called 'Ambush'. While in this state, as long as you don't activate abilities and don't attack targets, you won't be detected by them. ”
"How about you give us a curse to carry the erosion first, and then I immediately activate the ambush skill to avoid the attention of the Spirit Tree?"
"If you have time to activate your skills, what do you think the Spiritual Tree will do when it notices something strange but can't find the source?" The Banshee King teased, "It will plow all the land around it with the heaviest firepower." Can you dodge an indiscriminate wide-area attack with that ambush skill? ”
"In that case, just move to another plane, right?" "For example, when you get into the erosion resistance, you quickly hide in the shadows. ”
"It's definitely not going to work." The Banshee Monarch denied it again, saying, "The Shadow Realm is equivalent to the back of the main plane, and ordinary people may not be able to do anything with it, but the Spirit Tree is not...... If it had eaten the transcendents of the shadow sequence, then its branches would have been able to reach into the shadow realm, and wouldn't it have been affected by us? ”
"In other words, it's going to move to a plane it can't enter, right?" Asker said that although the shadow plane is not good, we have a fire island!
At this time, Sheila suddenly raised her hand and said, "I have a question. ”
"What's the problem?" Asker asked.
"How long is Lord Minerva's curse?" Sheila said calmly, "Since activating the ability in the body of the Spirit Tree will be sensed, then we only need to put on the anti-erosion curse outside first, and then enter its body, will it be fine?" ”
Asker: ..................
Banshee King: ..................
"Oh, you see my team members are smart." Askehaha said.
"Yes, a certain regiment commander is a little incompetent in comparison, and I can't think of such a simple truth." The Banshee King laughed too.
"In front of the high-level demigod seniors, where is my turn to come up with ideas?" Aske said, "My predecessors must have more experience than me." ”
"What a senior, I'm just a dead man. Are you going to expect the dead to come up with ideas? Out of nowhere, the Banshee King conjured a fan that covered the lower part of his face, revealing crooked eyes like crescents.
"Ahem." The other party regarded himself as a "dead man", and Aske had no choice but to say with her cheekiness, "Then follow Sheila's wishes." ”
So everyone turned back and walked a kilometer away from the Spirit Tree, and then the Banshee King performed the curse bonus.
"You must not be corrupted by mutations." The Banshee King closed the fan and drew a strange symbol in the air, "If there is a fatal injury, it will be borne by this object." ”
As if by magic, she conjured a fleshy doll with a bleeding face and imprinted the symbol on its body.
"With my Damage Transfer Curse, this flesh doll can take three damage for you." The Banshee King said, and threw it to Peggy, "Take it and put it away, if you don't run out of times after the mutation is over, it will still work." ”
Peggy pouted and put the ugly doll away.
"Are you alright?" Aske sensed that after casting the spell, the Banshee King's spirit seemed to weaken a little.
"It took a third of my spirituality." The Banshee King waved his hand, "It's okay. ”
She sat back on Asker's shoulder again. The crowd marched towards the Spirit Tree, and after a few moments they reached the periphery of the mist.
Entering the fog, everyone found that the feeling of this erosion was much weaker, and it was almost impossible to concentrate their will to keep it out.
Due to the previous "Perception Curse", neither the high-dimensional creatures nor the Spirit Tree have discovered the existence of these people. Everyone walked cautiously in the mist, feeling that their clothes were almost wet.
The high-dimensional creatures were still flying overhead, letting out high-pitched screams. The group held their breath for a moment and walked in the direction of the fog getting thicker.
Suddenly, Nora, who was walking next to her, stopped.
Her expression was stunned for a moment, and a bloody hole suddenly appeared in her chest!
Then the bloody hole slowly healed, and the same wound began to appear on Peggy's chest as the flesh doll hung from her waist.
"What's going on?" Immediately, the crowd stopped as if they were facing a great enemy, and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
Nora fell weakly into Asker's arms, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she said after a while:
"It's a dream."
"I've been attacked by a nightmare."
Dreamland? Asque looked at Medea, who immediately reminded:
"Have you forgotten? Last year, when we captured Hearthfire Island, we had a bitter battle with a nightmare! The dream sequence is the nemesis of the mind sequence! ”
"Because the ability of the mind sequence is particularly sensitive in terms of mental perception, the dream attack will cause us more intense damage." The Banshee King took over the conversation as he floated off Asker's shoulder, reaching out and touching the empty space in front of him.
"There's a nightmare barrier here." She said.
