Chapter 63: Dreams and Truths
"What?!"
I looked at the cloudless sky and was not only a little stunned, no matter how fast this monster was, it was impossible for it to disappear without a trace in such a short period of time. Could it be that I underestimated its mana? But judging from the color of the dream mist it emitted, even if it was a colorful dream demon, it shouldn't have such speed.
Falling back to the ground, the surroundings returned to calm with the disappearance of the youkai, and stepped on the deep soil that had been turned out, and the power of the soul spread out again.
God knows what strange moves this monster used, whether it escaped or hid again, I can't say.
But in the soul world this time, there is not the slightest demonic energy.
"Did you really escape?"
I said to myself, but the double swords in my hand did not dare to relax, and they were still clenched in my hands.
A somewhat unfamiliar magic seal was pinched out of the palm of his hand, and he gently threw it into the air, and said softly in his mouth:
"Tracing Spell!"
The small Dharma seal shook slightly in the air, but it spun in place. I was a little confused, and my mind was stirring, trying to drive the spell to work as it should.
Who knew that this spell enchantment was like a demon, stubbornly standing in place, not moving its position at all.
He rubbed his head in some anguish, and dispersed the somewhat disobedient spell.
"What's going on......"
If this spell works properly, it should be able to find the direction of the dream demon's escape, after all, the purpose of its creation is to help the warlock find those escaped ghosts. But I don't know what this spell is crazy today, and I haven't found any clues.
It stands to reason that even if the monster is good at destroying traces, it will inevitably miss some small clues, and this tracking spell can catch these missed traces, so it is quite popular with warlocks in this aspect of tracking. But then again, even the tracking spell can't find the monster, unless ......
That dream demon never existed!
This somewhat fanciful thought crossed my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder. I've been fighting the Dream Demon for so long, and now the Tracing Charm tells me that the Dream Demon doesn't exist at all. So what about the dreams that I took so much trouble to break?
"Wait, Dream?!"
I suddenly thought of a more terrifying possibility, if the tracking spell I am casting now did not find the trace of the dream demon, then there are two possibilities, one is really as I thought, the dream demon never existed at all, what I saw was just my own hallucination, and the other possibility is that I am still in the dream of the dream demon now!
"Ten An! Are you okay? β
Just thinking about it, I heard Hu Kunming's somewhat anxious voice, looked up, and saw Hu Kunming, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, leading a team of guards, who were rushing over in a hurry.
I'm completely confused now, I don't know if the officer in front of me is not that I know that Hu Kunming.
"Xiao Mu? What's wrong? β
Hu Kunming saw that I was stunned in place, and stepped forward to ask with some doubts.
I subconsciously took a step back and shook my head a little dazedly.
"Uncle Hu, why are you here?"
I asked tentatively.
"Oh, the special combat team fighters who came out first told me that you were fighting alone inside, and I couldn't rest assured, so I brought a new team to support you."
Hu Kunming said quietly, and there was indeed heartfelt care in his eyes.
But I still can't be sure if I'm in a dream or in the real world.
"Xiao Mu?! What's wrong? What about the youkai? β
Hu Kunming saw my strangeness and hurriedly asked.
My mind is now a mess and I have almost lost any ability to distinguish between reality and dreams. If it were reality, then how powerful would that youkai have to be to disappear without a trace in such a short period of time, and not even the tracking spell I cast could catch any of it. If it was a dream, why didn't I feel anything, why did it not appear in my dream that I wanted to appear the most, but such a scene that was almost indistinguishable from reality.
"Ten An! Ten An! What happened to you? Did it hurt somewhere? β
Hu Kunming shook my shoulders and looked at my whole body carefully, trying to see what made me so strange.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."
I gently brushed away Hu Kunming's palm and smiled reluctantly.
"If you're tired, go rest first, and we'll take care of it here."
Hu Kunming was also considerate of me, and without waiting for me to answer the refusal or agreement, he turned around and waved at a soldier behind him, signaling him to come over:
"You take the little Muld command and let him rest."
The warrior nodded, and was about to step forward and carry me in the direction of the chariot.
I let his outstretched palm pass, smiled politely, and said:
"I'm fine, I'll go back by myself."
Whether this world is a dream or a reality, I don't know, but whatever it is, I have to be absolutely cautious. If it was really a dream, every touch would represent a further erosion of my soul by the monster.
The warrior was also an iron-blooded man, so he naturally didn't bother with my actions anymore, just nodded at me slightly, and turned around to lead the way in front of me.
I silently followed the warrior, staring at the dirt beneath my feet, trying to tell if it was reality or a dream.
The blackened dirt rustled every time I landed. The weeds, which had become a little sparse from the war, gently fit my ankles, and the touch of the touch made me itch for a while. Stepping on this black earth, everything feels so real.
"Are you a warlock, sir?"
The warrior probably felt that the atmosphere was a little oppressive, and was the first to speak to break the silence.
I nodded and replied:
"Yes, Chief Hu asked me to come over and help you solve the problem of that monster."
The warrior looked at me with some envy, stared at me and smiled:
"I'm quite envious of you, you can have such a powerful ability, how can it be like us, you have to train year after year and month after month to go to the battlefield, and it's useless to meet this kind of monster."
"Actually, we too, I've been cultivating since I was a child, and I don't even have time to play."
I don't have the heart to talk to him right now, I just said casually.
"Hahaha, it's not easy."
The warrior saw some impatience in my tone, and said awkwardly.
"Then you have a good rest first, and I'll go back to help the chief."
The soldier escorted me to the chariot, gave me a respectful salute, and said.
I nodded, and gave him a grateful look. He stopped talking nonsense, turned around and ran towards Hu Kunming's position.
I looked at his back, but I always felt that something was weird. I don't think a soldier with the qualifications to work on classified operations would have the leisure to talk to someone on the battlefield.
But he couldn't find the slightest flaw in all the things he showed.
"Tick Linglingβ"
The communication phone on the chariot rang, pulling my thoughts back to reality, and I turned to grab the phone, but there was a noise on the other end, like a person holding the phone, struggling to escape from the woods.
"Hello?! Feed?! Can you hear me? β
I said a little anxiously. Generally, those who can make direct calls to the military phone are military insiders, and if the person on the other end of the phone is really fleeing from something, then he must be here to ask for support.
"Mu Shi'an?!"
The noise on the other end of the phone finally subsided, but Hu Kunming's somewhat surprised voice came.
"Uncle Hu? Didn't you call me back? β
I asked, a little confused. One thing after another, it's getting more and more wrong.
"If you're in Command, who's the one who helped us stop that monster?!"
Hu Kunming's words were like a blow to the head, and I didn't care about answering, so I grabbed the walkie-talkie and rushed to the door of the chariot. Looking towards the area where the monster was originally located, the woods, which were originally extremely peaceful, were completely enveloped by a cloud of colorful mist that appeared out of thin air.
"Damn it! Fall for the trick of that evil beast! β
I cursed.
I couldn't have wondered how that youkai had escaped the detection of my tracking spell and was able to trap the rushing troops in their dreams so quickly after luring me away. Don't tell me, it really has more power than I expected.
Either way, it's important to save people.
I couldn't think about all the cause and effect possibilities before and after, jumped out of the command vehicle, and ran towards the colorful mist with a single step under my feet. In the palm of my hand, another slightly windy spell appeared, and I threw it myself.
"Lightness Charm!"
With the blessing of the light body mantra, the speed of the whole person has been raised to a notch. I jerked hard under my feet, and my speed skyrocketed again.
"Wow-sss
In the walkie-talkie that he couldn't put down just now, there was a burst of electricity. I subconsciously grabbed the walkie-talkie pinned to my waist and said as I ran:
"I'm Mu Shi'an, what's wrong?"
"Huh?"
The other end of the intercom was clearly confused by my words. I thought that something had happened to Uncle Hu, so I raised the walkie-talkie and shouted:
"What's going on?!"
The walkie-talkie was silent for a while, and Hu Kunming's somewhat deep voice appeared in the channel again.
"Shi'an, where are you? Didn't I tell you to go back to the chariot? β
What the fuck is going on?!
"You didn't meet that youkai again?!"
I yelled again.
"No, haven't you already solved it? We just packed up the gear we had just left behind. β
Hu Kunming's voice was flat as usual, and there was no longer the original noisy noise. I was completely confused.
Subconsciously looked up at the road in front of him, but was taken aback.
When did I go into a grove again?!
