Chapter 108: When it comes to advancement
In the rest of the time, it was still a boring rush, and after dark, I stopped to sleep.
Speaking of Bian Yao and the boy in gray, since the "soft-necked crocodile incident", the relationship between the two has undergone some strange changes.
Regarding exposing his secret in front of the gray-clothed boy, Bian Yao didn't think too much about it at the time, he just didn't want to see the boy get injured or even die, so he decided to use the dream clone to get the opportunity to kill the soft-necked crocodile by exchanging his life.
Thinking about it in hindsight, Bian Yao didn't regret it, but he wasn't sure why he had a special feeling for this guy? He had never had a friend since he was a child, and perhaps deep down, he was longing to have a friendship of his own.
In terms of physical strength and endurance, a dream cultivator of the same realm level would definitely not be able to compare to a sword cultivator. So for the young man in gray, if he really has the heart to get rid of Bian Yao, he can do it by running non-stop for a long time. However, he did not do this, but took the initiative to stop and rest for a moment every other hour.
It can be seen that although the gray-clothed young man did not say it, in his heart, he seemed to have acquiesced to Bian Yao, a thick-skinned companion.
The actions of the gray-clothed young man, Bian Yao naturally understood in his heart, in fact, he knew very well that if you want to talk about the speed of running, what the young man showed must not be the limit speed, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for him to keep up, but he didn't say anything more.
When they were on the road, the two of them were still one after the other as they had started, but the distance between them had been shortened from half a mile to more than ten zhang. Naturally, he couldn't talk during the run, and usually only before he rested at night, Bian Yao would take the initiative to say a few inconsequential nonsense words to the gray-clothed young man, and there was almost no communication at other times.
In this way, three days passed in a hurry, and nothing special happened during this time.
This morning, Bian Yao and the gray-clothed boy finally walked out of the wet land safely, and then they will enter another new area with various hidden crises - dry sandy land.
At noon, after more than an hour of running, the gray-clothed young man and Bian Yao stopped one after another. Under a large half-withered tree, the two of them gasped for breath while quietly looking ahead.
As far as the eye can see, it is vast and boundless, and this is a bare and boundless land. At a glance, there is no grass growing, and there is no life at all. Anyone who crosses the chaotic plain, as long as they go to Shuxian, will almost always pass through this dry sandy land.
In this harsh environment, although no plants can survive, there are some dangerous animals that live in it, which is amazing and can also make people look different.
"I've heard that dry sandy terrain is different from other places, and you won't have much trouble walking during the day, but it can be very dangerous at night. After nightfall, even the slightest movement can lead to fatal trouble!" Bian Yao said with a serious expression as he stared ahead.
"Then when it gets dark, you just shut up and say less. The gray-clothed young man replied to him coldly. After a moment, his feet jerked to the ground, and his figure rushed forward.
The situation in dry sandy land is similar to that of a desert in general. In the outer areas, all you can see is the hard soil cracked by extreme drought, and the cracks on the surface of the ground have divided the land into countless white clods, hard as stone.
The two of them ran quickly on the cracked ground, and after more than an hour, as the site deepened, sand began to appear under their feet. But once you step into the sand, your speed is hindered, and you inevitably slow down.
After another hour or so, the red sun set to the west, and the slanting sun shone on the golden sand, pulling out two long moving shadows.
At dusk, the gray-clothed boy stopped on a sand dune, and after looking around, he put down his sword and baggage, and sat down on the sand himself.
After a while, he ran to the young man's side and stopped, turned to look at the western sky, and saw that the sunset had dispersed, and a few faint yellows were about to disappear, and twilight was approaching.
"Do we want to take turns keeping vigil at night?" Bian Yao withdrew his gaze from the western sky, retreated and sat down opposite the young man, and found that the other party had taken out a small piece of dry food from his baggage and was nibbling on it.
"No, as long as you don't make any noise, you'll be fine. The gray-clothed boy lowered his head and chewed the dry food slowly, not as worried about the upcoming night in the sand.
"Well, I'll just listen to you. Bian Yao said with a smile, before the dream cultivator cultivated the Supreme Dream Venerable, his perception ability and range were much lower than that of the sword cultivator, so the dream cultivator and the sword cultivator could often take a lot of benefits.
Bian Yao silently took out a handful of Bixiang Fruit from the space bag, held it in his palm, and asked the young man as usual: "Do you want some spirit fruit?"
"Don't eat!" The gray-clothed boy refused without hesitation, as usual.
Bian Yao grinned, revealing an expected expression, and was no longer polite, concentrating on enjoying his spirit fruit dinner.
In the faint twilight, the gray-clothed young man slowly uncovered the cloth wrapped in the sword, then lifted the sword and thrust it into the sand, finally closed his eyes, and entered the state of meditation and cultivation without saying a word.
Darkness came quickly, and the night began to appear, and the endless sand was soaked in the hazy night.
The late autumn night breeze blows through and carries away the heat emitted from the surface of the sand, making it feel very warm when the wind blows on your body. Bian Yao quietly finished eating the spirit fruit, his body fell back, his back touched the warm fine sand, and he looked up at the bright night sky.
In recent days, because of the chaos in the same place, he only thought about how to get out safely, and did not have the heart to think about other things. Because of this, he didn't notice the abnormality in his body at all, and the emotions that had become irritable because he had entered the peak of the late stage of the Dream Walker disappeared for no reason, and his head never hurt again.
There was silence all around the sand, and Bian Yao suddenly sat up, cross-legged and closed his eyes. It didn't take long for him to enter the dream realm, and his consciousness was transferred from his main body to the body of the dream.
Not surprisingly, the dream was as dark as ever! It was a desperately dark darkness! It had been the case every time I fell asleep for years, and this had never changed in the slightest!
In the dream, Bian Yao's body only opened his eyes slightly, and then closed them again. With his understanding of his dreams over the past few years, there is no difference between opening and closing his eyes when he is in them. He had suspected many times that one day he would melt into the darkness and become part of his dreams!
Bian Yao's consciousness was attached to the body, feeling the environment and breath around him, and the mysterious and unusually abundant aura filled the surroundings, flowing around without a sound.
As with every dream I have ever entered, I breathed slowly at first, but gradually became greedy. Eventually, it didn't take long for the body to open its mouth and begin to gulp in large gulps, just as a hungry and thirsty person was frantically drinking water.
Time passed, the night sky was clear, the moon was dark and the stars were abundant.
I don't know how long it took, on the sand dunes, Bian Yao's brows suddenly frowned, beads of sweat quickly oozing out from his forehead and cheeks, and then his breathing became short and disordered.
The gray-clothed young man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the meditating figure diagonally opposite, his eyes reflected a little cold, and the expression on his face was uncertain.
"Ahh
After just a few breaths, Bian Yao's body suddenly fell to the right, rolling back and forth on the sand with his head tightly clutched, and then rolled down from the top of the dune. At the same time, his mouth continued to let out a cry of pain, and the voice came far away in the silence of the night!
The gray-clothed young man raised his eyebrows and stood quietly on the sand dune, looking at the figure rolling on the ground below, revealing a look of bewilderment. Judging from the look in his eyes, the young man seemed to have vaguely guessed something, and his face was a little dignified.
When dreamwalkers advance to dreammania, they will suffer an unavoidable pain, that is, a sharp pain in the depths of their minds!
After about half a moment, Bian Yao's snoring gradually weakened, then turned into intermittent moaning, and finally lay motionless on the sand, with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a coma.
The night fell silent again, and it was restored like water.
However, if Fang Yao made such a big movement, it would inevitably attract the attention of some things and attract it!
Suddenly, the gray-clothed young man seemed to notice something, and he quickly raised his eyes to look around. The next moment, a hint of panic flashed in the young man's eyes.
Under the faint starlight, I saw that on the sand not far away, there were winding and writhing strips of shadows, swimming towards the sand dunes.
