The garden was silent, with a thin gray mist wafting through the air.

Du Mu stared intently at the fruit of the gray dream that was greedily absorbing the fruit of the gray dream in the canopy, and it took more than twenty seconds for the loss of the gray dream to stop and leave from the skin of the fruit.

At this time, the fruit had already returned to its original plump and smooth appearance, and even the volume had swelled to about the same as that of other ripe fruits, and the surface was shrouded in a layer of hazy gray light, which was quite strange to look at.

Just as Du Mu was curious, the fruit that had absorbed the gray dream suddenly trembled, and it actually fell directly from the canopy, cracking with a thud, followed by a withered man coming out of it.

Du Mu was slightly startled, and immediately raised his weapon vigilantly, staring intently at the born wither.

However, to his surprise, the withered man in front of him did not kill him with a fierce momentum as soon as he was born, like his previous companions, but stood in place, staring at him motionless with two glittering fires in his eyes.

There was silence for a moment.

Du Mu frowned slightly, his expression suddenly moved, and he secretly gave the order to move to the left in his heart, and then he was pleasantly surprised to see that the withered one suddenly took a step to the left.

"It's ...... Assimilation?"

At this moment, Du Mu was greatly surprised, and he ordered the withered to continue to make various actions, and the latter also faithfully carried out all the orders without resistance.

This kind of performance is exactly the same as Xiao Jiu's assimilation.

After calming down, Du Mu finally had the heart to take a closer look at the withered man in front of him, and he noticed that the two points of fire in the latter's eye sockets faintly contained a touch of gray, and there were also wisps of mist wandering among the dry branches that made up the body, although it was not obvious, but with this, it was still easy to distinguish it from the rest of his companions.

After being amazed for a while, Du Mu's heart moved, and he wanted to withdraw the withered person into his body, but the latter did not react.

"Huh, can't you take it in?"

Du Mu was slightly stunned, and tried several times in a row, but the result was still the same, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Looks like this guy is different from the Grey Servant. ”

On second thought, the assimilation feature was only unlocked at LV5, and there was only one assimilation position at the beginning, and then one was added for each level, and there were only three assimilation positions in LV7's Gray Dream in total, so it was impossible to suddenly have one more.

"This phenomenon should be the exception. ”

Thinking about it this way, Du Mu couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he couldn't be included in his body, which meant that the withered could only move in dreams, and could not be brought to reality.

If he could move freely in reality like Xiao Jiu and Carol, then he would be able to have an extra six-star level of help out of thin air, which would be unimaginably helpful to him.

"It's a pity!"

Shaking his head, Du Mu sighed lightly, and quickly collected his emotions.

After all, it's an unexpected bonus, even if it can only be driven in a dream, it's always an excellent combat boost.

Letting the Gray Servants of the Blighted Ones stand by the side, Du Mu continued to manipulate the Gray Dream to nourish the other shriveled fruits, and as time passed, more than twenty new Gray Servants of the Blighted Ones gradually appeared around him.

During this period, many blighters were born, but as soon as they swelled and transformed, before they could stand firmly, they were struck to pieces by the blighted gray servants who swarmed up with vines, and they did not understand why their companions attacked them until they died.

Until the end of the dream, Du Mu subdued a total of thirty-seven withered gray servants, and the dense branches of monsters surrounded him like stars and moons, and the sparkling firelight flickered in the mist, making him suddenly have the illusion that he was a monster boss.

As soon as this thought appeared, Du Mu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head and shook off his distracting thoughts, walked around the oak tree, and after a rough count, he found that there were at least sixty or seventy shriveled withered fruits, and a wave of excitement and excitement suddenly surged in his heart.

"More than a hundred six-star beginner-level combat power!"

If he could turn all of these withered fruits into gray servants, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his subsequent actions in the dream realm.

Du Mu immediately made up his mind to concentrate on transforming the Blighted Fruit's fruit in the next two days, with their help, he would not need to be distracted to deal with the Blighted when he absorbed the mist in the future, and his efficiency would naturally be greatly improved.

So, in the following days, Du Mu first spent two nights transforming all the Blighted Fruits, and assimilated a total of one hundred and seven Blighted Gray Servants, and then ordered them to surround the oak tree, responsible for killing the newly born Blighters, while he himself concentrated on absorbing the mist.

In this way, the absorption rate of the mist was greatly improved, and it only took two nights for Du Mu to absorb the remaining fog in the garden, and Gray Dream finally rose to LV8 as he wished.

Gray Dream LV8 [57/8000] (Isolation, Assimilation、???)

......

On the fifth night after the end of the martial arts exam, in the dream bedroom.

Du Mu stood in front of his desk, staring at the computer screen with a hint of anticipation.

He planned to convert all the nightmare energy he had accumulated over the past tonight into strength.

The withers on the oak tree in the garden had already been killed, and there were only more than twenty fruits left, but considering that there was not much time left, and there were still five days to return to the academy, Du Mu decided to improve his strength tonight, so that he could leave for Dongbao City tomorrow to carry out the mission.

Nearly half a month of hunting the Blighted had brought him thousands of Nightmare Energies, and now he had a total of 1,184 Nightmare Energies on hand.

Without hesitation, Du Mu directly threw the nightmare energy into the stars, lighting up the stars one by one.

79...80...81...82...83...86...90

With the light of the stars, wisps of warm current emerged out of thin air from Du Mu's body, flowing all over his limbs, imperceptibly transforming and strengthening his physical fitness, and for a while he had a comfortable feeling of soaking in the hot springs.

Half an hour later, when the 90th star point was lit, Du Mu's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately looked up at the computer screen, and sure enough, he found that on the personal panel, the physique attribute column had changed dramatically, from D+ level to C- level.

"Whew...... Finally upgraded to C-grade. ”

Du Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that the physique has been promoted, then the strength should be about the same. ”

His physique and strength have always been in the middle of the two, only a slight difference.

"But before that, let's take a look at this!"

Du Mu turned his gaze and cast his gaze on the skill options that kept flashing in the upper right corner of the screen, and when he clicked on it, sure enough, a new skill had appeared, and it was still under the physical interface.

Eyes downward, a total of two new unlockable skills.

'Moon Step'

'Arashiko'
