Chapter 15: The Truth of the Nightmare Realm
Xing Tianyu looked at the old man in front of him and his scalp was numb for a while, and his heart was finished, could it be that his behavior just now was discovered?
His brain was running rapidly, and he glanced at a few Nightmare Lords who were looking this way not far away, and a spirit was in his mind, no, if he was going to do it to me, he would definitely not do it in this public again, and it was estimated that he would have done it in the corridor of the treasure house of knowledge before.

The other party should not know what he found, he should only find himself because he inquired about his information before, as long as he copes with the past.
Thinking of this, Xing Tianyu suddenly made up his mind in his heart.
"Oh yes, thank goodness Merlin seniors you finally appeared, and I was still wondering how to find you."
Xing Tianyu had a surprised expression on his face.
That Merlin seemed a little strange, but he still stretched out his hand in a very gentlemanly manner, and motioned to Xing Tianyu to say anything.
"That's the case, I've been going to exchange for a book of knowledge recently, but I'm a little tight on hand, so I'm thinking, it's best to find someone to help you turn it over, I've heard others say that you are the most helpful of all the Nightmare Lords, and you're still an old-timer, so you can see if you can lend me a few hundred merits?"
Xing Tianyu said with a slightly embarrassed and very calm expression.
That Merlin paused for a moment, obviously a little unexpectedly by what Xing Tianyu said.
"So what kind of knowledge book do you want to exchange?"
"I want to exchange the ability of the dream killing technique, of course, I'm not trying to kill, I just want to improve my mental power, I've been a nightmare lord for three years and I'm just a junior lord, it's really a bit embarrassing, I've saved some merit points now, so senior, you just need to lend me a few hundred merit points."
Merlin thought for a moment, "So how many merit points do you have in your hands now?" ”
"Well, I have 90 merit points in my hand now, so you just need to lend me another 910 merit points."
The corners of Merlin's mouth twitched twice, as if he was holding back the killing intent in his heart.
"Young people, it's not a good habit to get something for nothing, if you want to improve your mental strength as soon as possible, you have to work hard to do tasks and earn merits, instead of borrowing from others, what are you going to use to repay it?"
"I swear in the honor of the Nightmare Lord that I will definitely pay you back." What Xing Tianyu said was categorical and righteous.
However, Merlin seemed to have lost interest in him, "I'm afraid I can't lend you merit points, you can only rely on yourself, young man." He said coldly, and with a pinch of his staff, the whole person disappeared in an instant.
Xing Tianyu watched Merlin disappear, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that no matter where or when you go, finding someone to borrow money is always the best way to make others ignore you.
He didn't stay any longer, and flew directly towards his nightmare space, and as he flew, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, where had all those vanished nightmare lords gone? Since they disappear every ten years, it will be their turn in two or three years. What will happen then?
Merlin, as a person who has never disappeared, is sure of what kind of PY deal he has with the Nightmare King.
He looked back, at this moment he had flown to the edge of the atmosphere of the Nightmare Realm, looking at the majestic and magnificent mountains and seas full of primitive features behind him, as well as those strange buildings with strange styles that made people reverie, as well as the seemingly beautiful but lifeless natural environment, Xing Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.
These superficial beauties, like the bewitching branches and leaves of the man-eating flower, attract the Nightmare Lords to join them, and those tasks, feats, levels, skill books, and those systems that make people feel very familiar and friendly like online games are actually just to confuse them and make the Nightmare Lords relax their guard and indulge in the disguise of it.
At this moment, the Nightmare Realm was no longer the opportunity and dream place he had longed for in the past, but like a monster's lair full of terrible crises, which made him subconsciously feel a sense of fear.
He jerked up his speed, and as if he had escaped, he rushed out of the Nightmare Realm's atmosphere and flew towards his own Nightmare Space.
Luffy was very difficult to go back, although his flight speed was not slow, but compared to the specially conjured flying machine, it was still much slower, it was nothing, but the thought of those hidden truths in the Nightmare Country made him want to grow an engine for himself.
It took him two hours before he finally returned to his nightmare space.
As soon as he entered his nightmare space, Xing Tianyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only in this place with absolute control authority could he feel safe, and to his surprise, Peaches had returned.
"Hey, why did you come back first?"
"Don't mention it, we were going to hunt another dream eater squid, but we didn't find it after looking for a long time, and then a few people left early, saying that they would have to take exams and work tomorrow or something, plus everyone else also consumed a lot of mental energy, so they broke up in the end, wasting my time, but we made an appointment to act together next week."
After Momoko finished speaking, she suddenly thought about something again, "Oh yes, I asked a few people for you, most of them have become Nightmare Lords in the past few years, the latest is about four or five years, and the latest is only a little more than a year." ”、
Xing Tianyu nodded, indicating that he knew, in fact, this answer had already been determined.
Momoko asked, "By the way, why didn't you let me go to someone else's nightmare space before?" ”
Xing Tianyu sighed, although his heart was numb, he still patiently explained, "The nightmare space is a person's spiritual realm, if you are killed by someone in a person's nightmare space, your spiritual power will become the nourishment of the other party, the dream killing technique uses this principle to enhance mental power, although everyone is a nightmare lord, but this kind of thing has to be guarded against, unless you are absolutely trustworthy, don't go to someone else's nightmare space." ”
Momoko nodded, then shook her head again. "It's not that dangerous, weren't we in the Nightmare King's Nightmare Space? Besides, the Nightmare King has an order that Nightmare Leaders are not allowed to kill each other, and if they find it, they will be hunted down with a bounty. ”
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about!?" Xing Tianyu's eyes widened and he called.
Momoko was taken aback, "I mean, isn't the Nightmare Realm the Nightmare King's Nightmare Space?" ”
Xing Tianyu's mouth was big, there seemed to be a lightning bolt in his mind, and Peach's words completely woke him up, and at this moment, he had completely understood what was going on.
Before, he had always thought that the Nightmare Realm was a special existence in the Nightmare Universe, similar to the core of the Nightmare Universe and something like that, but now that he thought about it, wasn't the Nightmare Realm the Nightmare King's Nightmare Space? It's just that the volume is very huge, and this kind of enormity is completely beyond the scope of ordinary nightmare space, so that people subconsciously ignore that it is essentially just a nightmare space.
So why is the nightmare space outside of this nightmare so huge?
The reason why the Nightmare Lord's nightmare space is larger than ordinary people is because he relies on absorbing other people's spiritual power to improve his nightmare space, so what does the Nightmare King rely on to raise his nightmare space to such a huge size? You must know that the higher the spiritual power, the smaller the improvement will be by absorbing those with low mental power, and with such a large nightmare space outside the nightmare, I am afraid that ordinary people are of no value to him at all.
And the only thing that can provide nutrients is the Nightmare Lord's spiritual power?
The Nightmare Lords disappear en masse every ten years, and I'm afraid they all become the nourishment of the Nightmare King.
Obviously, the Nightmare King sent the Nightmare Fairies to canonize the Nightmare Lords, and then the guy named Merlin helped these Nightmare Lords improve their mental power and strength, and when the fruit was ripe after ten years, they would hunt down these Nightmare Lords like pigs.
The poor Nightmare Lords were completely unaware of this ending, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, fear, anger, anxiety, all kinds of negative emotions stirred in his heart, making the entire nightmare space darkened because of it.
Thunder rolled in the sky, as if a storm was coming.
"That senior, are you okay?" Momoko asked, horrified.
Xing Tianyu glanced at Peaches with some complications, he was afraid that he had harmed this girl.
But fortunately, there are still two or three years before the Nightmare Realm will become the burial place of all the Nightmare Lords, and he still has time, and the Nightmare Lord wants to absorb the Nightmare Lord's spiritual power, most of them should gather the Nightmare Lords together first, just like Ah Song said before, the last Nightmare Lords were collectively summoned to crusade against the Dream Devouring Crab, and this summoning order is probably the bait for the Nightmare Lords to throw themselves into the net.
As long as you don't go to the Nightmare Country in the future, you can be safe, as for three years, it's a big deal to close the Nightmare Space and never dream again.
