Chapter 57: The Cave

"System prompt: Discover the Banyan Tree Dream and gain a small amount of experience experience. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The earliest record of the birth of the Dream was at the time when the Dream Ancient Tree had not yet died. According to the epic, the Dream Ancient Tree created the boundless dream space, the Crystal Planet, and sealed the Void Window in it.

After the war between gods and demons, not only did it lead to the collapse of the ancient world, but the ancient tree of the dream realm also died. As a result, the crystal planet, which had been drawn by the spiritual power of the ancient tree in the dream realm, also broke into countless fragments, wandering in another dimension.

After the Tower of Gods and Demons was built, the powerful mass created a gravitational pull that attracted the crystal fragments floating in the void. According to the type, these dreams are generally divided into four types: Emerald Dream, Nightmare Dream, God Dream, and Independent Dream.

The Banyan Tree Dream discovered by the Hunters Association is an independent dream and has unique spatial coordinates. There is even such a saying in the hunter circle that the big banyan tree on the hunter island actually came out of the banyan dream.

And just as people have good dreams and nightmares, most independent dreams are eroded by nightmare creatures that hover in the void.

Since the Hunters Guild discovered the Banyan Dreamland, they have reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Dryad clan in the Dream Realm. Since then, the Hunters' Guild has often sent hunters to participate in trials to eradicate the nightmare hazards in dreams.

The dream is divided into two areas, an underground cavern and a surface valley. Li Moyou, who entered the dream of the banyan tree, took a while to adapt to the dim vision in front of him, and it was also thanks to the good night vision ability of the skeleton clan.

Tick tock. The sound of water droplets is clear to your ears.

With the help of the fluorescence emitted by the soul fire, Li Moyou took a rough look at the surrounding environment.

Huge karst caves, typical karst landscapes, towering stalactite standing forests hanging upside down, several limestone pools, and several exotic luminous plants grow.

Although Li Moyou has been with the team and played all over the country, he has never traveled with the help of his position. So this is also the first time he has seen such a magnificent and strange scenery, and his curiosity comes up at the moment, knocking on the stalactites around him from time to time, or picking two glowing flowers and putting them in his backpack, and giving them to Mo Ting, who has loved flowers since childhood.

However, he still hasn't forgotten the main purpose of coming to the Banyan Tree Dream, according to Zhou Zhuang, there are all kinds of tree demons living here, and he may not be able to convince one to be a dependent.

Li Moyou stepped on the slippery rock, groping aimlessly. In addition to the sound of his own footsteps, there is only the sound of water dripping.

I don't know how long I walked, but there was a sound of banging and scolding in my ears. Li Moyou raised his vigilance and cautiously touched the source of the sound, if the sound was from a nightmare, he didn't mind giving the other party an arrow.

Turning over a stalactite covered with glowing mushrooms, Li Moyou pulled out the Bow of Punishment and tiptoed his head out, leaving him speechless at the scene in front of him.

I saw a monster more than two meters tall, with sparse leaves on its head and an iron pickaxe in its hand, constantly digging the walls of the cave.

"You little Bichi, you abrasive little goblin."

"Ah, let me, a sad man, escape from this cage."

"I dig, I dig, I dig!"

The monster seemed tired from digging for a while, carrying a pickaxe to a large rock, and cursing from time to time.

Li Moyou didn't dare to confirm whether the other party was a dryad or a nightmare, so after thinking about it, he decided to come out and say hello.

"Hey, hunk." Glancing at the other party's strong pectoral muscles, Li Moyou found an adjective and said.

The monster glanced at the skeleton walking in front of him, and said with a hint of loneliness, "You're here to kill me, right?" Guardians. ”

"Don't you even let go of my last nightmare?"

"You have slain all my people and banished me into this boundless darkness, and now you are coming to take the head of my Rugar?"

The monster who called himself Ruger, with a desolate look in his eyes, threw the pickaxe in his hand on the ground, and raised his hands without resistance.

"Come on, settle this grudge!"

"May my death put an end to this endless struggle."

Although he knew that the other party was a nightmare creature, Li Moyou looked at his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, but he couldn't do it anymore.

"Come on!" Ruger straightened his back and yelled.

"No, you'd better live well." Li Moyou put away his longbow and said.

Ruger shook his head curiously and asked, "Why?"

Li Moyou thought about it for a while, and said very forcefully: "I never kill people who have no fighting spirit. ”

As he spoke, Li Moyou turned around and wanted to leave, and in the faint light, the four big words of loyalty and service to the country appeared on the back of his head.

"Wait!" Ruger shouted.

Perhaps in order to repay Li Moyou for not killing, Luger pointed him in the direction of going to the Dryad Tribe. In addition, in his narration, Li Moyou learned that now the nightmares in the entire dream world have been strangled, and he is the only one left.

With a hint of inexplicable weirdness, Li Moyou came to the Dryad Tribe.

It is a circular sinkhole, about 300 meters deep, with sun-drenched greenery overhead. As a cavern connecting the surface world to the underground cavern, the edge of the sinkhole is built with granite stairs.

The staircase is surrounded by huge houses and heavy rock walls. And between the sinkhole and the cave, there is a bottomless moat like a rift.

As far as the eye can see, it's not so much a dryad village as a hardened fortress of war.

At this time, there were many dryads standing on the city wall, carrying huge rock blocks, and they were still strengthening and thickening the city wall. There were also many hunters who, like Li Moyou, participated in the trial, helping to transport the stones on the side.

"Didn't you say that the nightmares were all wiped out? Why reinforce the city walls? ”

"This is an order from the Dryad Leader, and it is said that during a divination, it sensed that the Nightmare army was about to counterattack from the void."

"It also divination? Is it reliable? I don't think there's something right in the whole village. ”

"Who knows? Anyway, it's the dryads' own business, and we're participating in trials, and more is better than less. ”

After entering the village, the conversation between the hunters fell into Li Moyou's ears, which once again deepened the strange feeling in his heart.

There were about twenty or thirty dryads in the entire village, and each of them had no expression on their faces, numb as they moved rocks and strengthened the walls.

An invisible sense of oppression envelops the village.

Li Moyou even felt that compared to these dead, puppet-like dryads, the nightmare creature named Ruger was more alive.

There have been many opinions about the definition of the nightmare race since ancient times.

Some people believe that nightmares are a type of void creatures, but research has shown that nightmares and void creatures are also in a life-and-death hostile relationship. Therefore, other scholars have shown that nightmares existed in the earliest crystal planets, and later the explosion of the crystal planets caused their consciousness and behavior to be chaotic, and they were instinctively driven to possess dreams.

Recent academic research has shown that the nightmare creatures are inextricably linked to the ancient god of death, Noxton. And the Dream Ancient Tree that formed the Crystal Planet was formed by Nocton after swallowing the fruit of the World Tree.
