"Gustavo! What are you in a daze! ”

"Huh?"

The patriarch suddenly woke up from the chaos, and before he could react, a dark red streamer flashed, and a strong force caused him to fall from the sky.

A wall of earth appeared out of thin air, catching him as he kept falling.

“Grwee-thehb！ What are you in a daze? ”

"What?"

Only then did he react, and it was Artes who angrily scolded him one after another, and it was Mishea who suddenly saved him.

Wait a minute...... Aren't they dead? What the hell is this?

At the moment of the great enemy, he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly turned into a flying eagle, and looked around while avoiding the ghostly figure of the enemy.

There was a red and white moon in the night sky, and below him was the smell of Imotru, and rows of houses burned in flames, and many of the vine warriors were reduced to ashes before they could be awakened.

"What is this? We're not—"

"Be careful!"

With a call in his ears, he hurriedly flapped his wings and flew into the distance.

"Why did you just run away? What about the courage to bark at me just now? The bewildering figure of the Quetzalcoatl queen McTarron appeared in the air, her red and black wings outstretched, and her amber eyes were full of amber amusement.

"You stinky snake, aren't you dead??" Gustavo's eyes widened.

As soon as these words came out, McTallen snorted coldly.

"Compared to the trash talk just now, you are really civilized when you speak now."

The Quetzalcoatl Queen's wings fluttered slightly, and her figure flashed in front of him, raising her right claw and stabbing it fiercely, her long nails glistening coldly in the moonlight.

"I can't care so much, since I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!"

Gustavo didn't have time to figure out the situation, and without dodging or dodging, he opened his arms and hugged him straight up.

He intends to repeat his old tricks and defeat the enemy from within once again.

"Stupid."

The two of them were so close that McTarron's hand pierced through his right chest without hindrance, and the disdainful taunt penetrated his ear with a slight strange irritation, making him weak and even the sharp pain in his chest.

"Bastard!"

Gustavo forcibly lifted his spirits and stuck the other party with his pierced body, his two arms wrapped around her weak and boneless body like iron tongs, and his fingers touched the opponent's wings with ease.

There's a wound here! See if I don't kill you!

And yet—

There's nothing here but smooth skin.

"How is that possible?? I obviously attacked here according to Xiao Mu's instructions-"

"What do you want to do to me? Barbarian. ”

McTallen's seductive voice came from her ears, and at the end of the words suddenly became cold, her bound wings suddenly opened, and Gustavo had no choice but to let go of her hands, and was kicked in the abdomen by the other party, and her right hand was also pulled out of her chest, and a series of blood mist sprayed in the air, and the wound was very hideous.

It was only when he came back to his senses that he realized that something was wrong.

McTalen also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but was entangled by the two who arrived quickly.

"You go down for treatment first!"

Artes' eager voice came from above, and Mishua summoned walls of earth to surround McTarron.

"Ahem, watch out for that guy, her eyes will make you see your old flame." He kindly reminded him, but was given a blank look by the other party.

"Stop talking, let's go!"

Gustavo coughed twice, realizing that his situation was indeed not optimistic, and hurriedly staggered to the bottom like a bird with broken wings.

Imotru was now in shambles, with collapsed houses, crumbling buildings, and the corpses of his people in the light and smoke of the fire, as if they had not had time to flee and were trapped in the raging fire. The roars and roars of wolves and flying feathered serpents lured by the smell of meat make this place like hell on earth.

Even more messy than that is his brain at the moment.

"Where's Xiao Mu? What about Xiao Mu? Isn't he taking care of me for me? ”

The patriarch's eyes were divided, and he kept searching for the familiar figure.

"Patriarch!"

Suddenly, a shout came from below.

Freya?

Hearing a familiar voice, he hurried over.

In front of her, Freya had a broken arm, and she looked very embarrassed, and behind her were the people of Imotru, who were not only half less numerous, but almost all of them were wounded and haggard.

"Patriarch, I'm sorry...... Maga ......"

"Where's Xiao Mu? Where did Xiao Mu go? He asked.

Maga? Maga: She asked me yesterday if it was better to plant corn or soybeans for the second crop.

"Xiao Mu? You mean Mukla? ”

"Who TM cares about him! Xiao Mu is—"

When the words came to his lips, Gustavo was suddenly stunned.

What does it mean that McTallen doesn't have a wound on his back? means that her wings are normal.

He suddenly raised his head, and there was no reddish spherical field in his field of vision.

Looking around, it was a mess, as if it had been caught off guard by the beast tide-

Something seems wrong?

"Why do I think something is wrong with this?"

"Why isn't Xiao Mu here?"

"Where was I before? Why do I think Maga is still alive? ”

The real broken memories and the broken real reality were intertwined, and he couldn't help but crouch down and hold his head, his expression distorted.

At this moment, there was a loud "boom" in the center of Imotru, because it was so close, and the loud sound made a buzzing sound in his ears.

A rich red light rose into the sky, illuminating the entire sky, billowing smoke into the sky, the earth trembled, and in an instant the already crumbling houses collapsed in pieces.

"Ymir, they—"

Freya covered her mouth in horror, tears silently sliding down her face.

She was about to leave when Gustavo grabbed her.

"Patriarch?"

The patriarch suddenly looked calm.

"It's an altar that has been blown up, right?"

"Patriarch, you-"

"The altar, it blew up, right?"

He said word by word.

Freya nodded a little apprehensively, the terrifying aura that the patriarch had just revealed was something she had never seen before.

"You haven't seen a human named Shamu in the past two days, have you? He was accompanied by a blonde human girl and a red-bearded shorty. ”

"No, Patriarch, your injuries...... It didn't hurt your head, did you? ”

Gustavo suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"What kind of bird injury, it's all fake."

"False...... Fake? ”

"That's right, it's all fake."

"Patriarch, your injuries are critical......"

The female druid thought that he had been shocked by the explosion just now, and hurriedly healed him.

He waved his hand disdainfully, everyone had already gone to the Wind Firmament, these were illusions, he couldn't be clearer.

It's just that......

This is obviously fake, why is he so depressed in his heart?

The pain of being pierced through the body by the Quetzalcoatl Queen seemed to seep into his bones, seeing the corpses and severed limbs all over the ground, seeing the charred vine warriors, and seeing the clansmen torn to pieces by demonic beasts, he knew that these were all fakes, but he still couldn't help but feel upset.

These are fakes!

"Ahh

Just as he was at a loss, Freya suddenly let out a scream.

The woman, who was focused on healing herself, was pierced by a feathered serpent, and before she could widen her eyes and let out a string of painful screams from her mouth, she collapsed into his arms.

Blood from his people stained his chest.

"Ahhh

"Shit bastard! This TM is all fake, you don't want to lie to Lao Tzu! ”

"You can't fool Lao Tzu's !!"

Gustavo's eyes were red, like a desperate wounded beast, and he let out a roar, and the invisible sound waves swung in circles, sending chills through the cracks of the war.

At the same time, the wound on his left chest became more and more real, and blood continued to flow out, as if Freya's treatment had just lost its effect.

"It's fake, isn't it......"

"Since it's fake, then even if Lao Tzu dies in battle, there's nothing to blame, right?"

"Since everyone is alive, then I have nothing to worry about, right?"

Gently letting Freya go, he turned into a nightblade leopard and rushed to the altar like crazy, his silver body like lightning in the night.

----------------

Surya sat in the audience and watched for a while, and found that Amatho and the two did not move at all, just stood dumbfounded, their eyes closed.

"Did I just stand stupidly like that?" She thought, then stood up and walked around the center of the field.

Suddenly, an irrepressible killing intent surged from the infield, and as soon as she finished the battle, she was still very sensitive, and immediately retreated a few steps back like a frightened beast.

"Who is this?"

Realizing that she was overreacting, she quickly leaned forward.

At this moment, the short skeleton that had just disappeared appeared.

"Hey, don't go any further."

"Huh? It's you? ”

Piper floated down from the sky, standing on the barrier above the field, like stepping on a wall of air, obviously only one and a half meters tall, but holding his arms like an old adult.

"It's Mistress Paperius, yes!"

He still insists on the name that looks like a fraud on the number of words, but it actually has a stalk.

"...... Paperis"

"You'd better call me Piper-sama." The skeleton waved its hand impatiently.

"Piper-sama, who was that breath just now?" The girl hurriedly asked.

Piper glanced inside.

"Yikes! I know this guy, it's the guy who was disrespectful to Master Piper just now, and he seems to be stuck in a fantasy and can't get out. He looked gloating.

"Mr. Gustavo?" Surya was shocked. "And what will happen to him?"

"If you lose yourself, you will become a walking corpse; At worst, they fall into madness, unconsciously attack others, and then die of exhaustion. Piper shook his huge head, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a mentally retarded player, I don't know when the last person who collapsed in the illusion was going back to date, you guys are really the worst class I've ever seen, how can you all 24 people pass the maze test?" ”

"Labyrinth test? Are you saying that the dead-end alley we were in just now hides a labyrinth of strange monsters? Surya hurriedly pulled out a necklace.

"After the monster is killed, various things will appear, such as this?"

"yes, yes, these are all dropped loot, and those elemental monsters were designed by Master Paparis himself, isn't it interesting!"

The little skeleton danced excitedly, and he asked.

"And then? How did you get through the third floor? Isn't my 'mirror world' more interesting? Isn't it fun to play against yourself? ”

“…… What are you talking about? We didn't even go up to the third floor when a white light sucked us in......"

"What?"

Piper was standing upside down, jumping around with his hands on the wall of air, and was surprised to forget to change hands and fell headlong against the wall. He hurriedly grabbed his head and turned around.

"You said you didn't go up to the third floor?"

"yes, I just met my companion on the second floor......"

"Wait a minute—"

With a flash of white light, Piper vanished.

A minute later, the little skeleton, which had no expression but clearly exuded an unkind aura around it, reappeared above the barrier.

At this time, in the center of the infield, the killing intent coming from Gustavo's burly body was even stronger, and he even breathed heavily with his eyes closed, his expression was painful, his fists were clenched, and the green tendons on his arms were bursting out.

"How the hell did this guy get in?" Wisdom', 'patience', 'calmness' and 'courage' four tests, can be lost in the illusion like this, it seems that he can't even pass the first one......

"What should I do, if this continues, there will be a big problem...... It's my dereliction of duty, and the adults will blame my ......" Piper clutched his head in annoyance.

Surya watched him fidget at the barrier and was a little anxious.

"Piper-sama, can you find a way to save my companion?"

"Huh?"

Hearing her voice, Piper suddenly had a good idea.

He leapt down from above and landed in front of the girl, looking at her with a serious expression (a ghost, where did the skeleton come from).

"If you're willing to give up the ultimate reward, I'll allow you to come to the rescue of your partner, are you willing?"

----------------

Gustavo tossed and slaughtered back and forth among the insects and wolves like madness, his fangs and claws turning into a reaper of life, splashing with a bloody light with each passing pass, followed by the death of an enemy.

His streamlined body was soaked in blood, and the silver ribbon on it was stained red.

Although he tirelessly tore at his opponents and vented his anger to the fullest, the enemies around him did not decrease, but tended to increase.

Not only that, but the druids were gradually forced over, and they were like headless flies without command, and in desperation, they had to gradually move to the center as the encirclement of the beast tide narrowed.

Like a sheep besieged by wolves, it gradually converged into a ball while running wildly, just as Mu Yan thought at the beginning.

"Mr. Gustavo!"

"Who?"

The patriarch's dash stopped abruptly, and he seemed to hear a somewhat familiar voice.

"It's me, Surya!"

"Surya? Surya! Where are you, little Mu? Is he with you? ”

He hurriedly asked, Mu Yan was regarded by him as the backbone.

"I don't know, he's supposed to be in the trial."

"Trials?"

Gustavo calmed down, and he turned back into his human form, catching a swooping wind wolf.

"And then you say, what trial?"

"It's about mood......

Surya's voice seemed to be disturbed by something, gradually weakening until it disappeared completely.

"How's your mood?"

The patriarch tilted his ears sideways, pinching the wolf's upper and lower jaws and tearing them hard, and the whole wolf was torn in half by him.

"What's the state of mind, are you finished? Hey, hey—"

The two of them were like the phone was disconnected.

"What do you mean?"

He tossed the wolf corpse aside in his hand and muttered.

……

Above the barrier, Surya pressed her hand to Piper's glossy head, surprised.

"Like...... It seems to have lost contact. ”

"What?"

Piper was surprised, and he patted his head hard.

"Is the signal bad?"

"I don't know." The girl shook her head. "It was fine at first, but then it was silent. Can I go straight into his trials and help him? I heard it was very noisy, and it seemed to be screaming. ”

Piper sat down cross-legged, pinching his smooth mandible.

"It's not impossible...... Something happened today ...... suddenly"

He looked up suddenly.

"But you can be dangerous, and if that dumb person is trapped in his dream and can't get out, you will also be trapped inside."

"Can someone else come and save me? I mean, if he's done with the trial. ”

"Absolutely." Piper nodded.

"Then I'm fine."

Seeing the girl's resolute attitude, Piper didn't say much, and broke off a rib and handed it to her.

"Take this bone, walk over the guy you're looking for and close your eyes."

Surya took the bone joint, stepped on the barrier and walked straight above Gustavo, in the process she inspected almost half of the field, but found no trace of Mu Yan.

Strange, where can he go?

However, as a wave of fatigue hit, she was forced to interrupt her thinking and had to close her eyes.

……

Gustavo was still muttering the words "trial" and "state of mind", the former being a battle for him, and the latter ...... Somewhat incomprehensible.

Probably talking about what the mind thinks, right? For example, he was asking Xiao Mu a few days ago, if he didn't show up, how many people would be left who came to the Wind Firmament, and now this will soon come true? So, what's the difference between a state of mind and a dream?

After some fighting and Suria's reminders, his state of mind gradually calmed down, and the scene around him gradually became illusory and absurd as his state of mind changed.

For example, Ymir, who should have been blown to pieces, suddenly turned into a fire-breathing Morgu barracuda and swam in front of him in the air, showing off and then leaving.

Once again, the real and the unreal are intertwined.

"You Erhuzi, look at you stupid."

He laughed and slapped the other party, and the magic barracuda illusion immediately collapsed.

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Gustavo."

"Surya? What are you doing here? ”

For a while, the two couldn't help but stare at each other.

At the same time, the surrounding scene began to solidify again, and it seemed that the intervention of the second player caused some small waves.

The beasts spotted the two of them, and several deadly figures rushed over.

"You continue to say what you just said, what kind of state of mind or something."

Gustavo asked her as he punched the Feathered Serpent and stepped on the wolf.

"All these things are the illusion of what you fear, that is, the more you are afraid, the more real they become, and vice versa...... "Surya brandished his giant sword and cut the enemy in two, and said with some hesitation, "But it was obviously a little sluggish just now, but because of my intervention, something has changed, and I don't know what will happen next." ”

"So it's fake, isn't it?"

The patriarch's focus is always on this.

"Hmm. It's fake, and it doesn't have an impact on the real world. ”

"Then I'll be completely relieved." Gustavo breathed a sigh of relief. "Then you go out first, I'll be fine alone."

"Then be careful." Surya also felt that it was not good for her to stay any longer, and it seemed that the other party's trial had changed in some way because of her intervention.

Seeing off Suria, the patriarch turned into a flying eagle and flew over Imotru, screaming.

It was a ritual that had to be performed every year when a bonfire was held near the altar, and the old fellows said that it would deter the surrounding monsters and show their territorial sovereignty, but in his opinion, it was a chance to give him a chance to openly cry wolf.

The tribesmen who had been forced to move closer to the middle immediately quickened their pace, and the survivors flocked to the place that was originally the altar and now the second pit.
