Chapter 44: Dream Eater

The Night Corpse searched all the areas within a radius of several tens of miles, and found a total of six basins of different sizes, each of which was considered a village.

In one of the villages, when he opened the door, he found three old men curled up in the corner, shivering. On the left chest of their black clothes, there is also an embroidered word "Zhi". The night corpse looked at them a few times, laughed a few times, and then drifted away.

In the largest village to the southwest, the Night Corpses found dozens of ordinary people from six different villages, now living together in fear. Among these people, one is not gifted for dreaming, and the other is a young child who is still young and has not awakened his talent for dreaming, so naturally he cannot have a fixed dream, so he has not been harmed.

From the mouths of these people, the Night Corpse learned some more precise and detailed information.

About half a month ago, one morning, when they woke up, they found that the situation in the village was obviously different from usual, and it seemed very quiet!

As ordinary people, they were puzzled by this, so they shouted all their relatives and friends one after another. However, no matter how much they shouted and shook, those who stepped through the door of dream cultivation never woke up.

They didn't know what was going on, and panic and panic took over their minds. They began to go from house to house shouting to check, gathering all the people in the village who could wake up. Then, in trepidation and reluctance, they left their dwellings and gathered themselves to the southwest, the largest village.

The reason why people from other villages rushed here was because there was a late-stage dreamwalker here, who could be regarded as the most powerful "master" among the six villages. But when they arrived, they fell into despair! The late-stage dreamwalker fell into a deep slumber, unable to wake up.

After deliberation, a group of chaotic and ownerless people decided to let the only two young men go to the cave city to seek help from the officials.

Luckily, the two young men had only been out for half a day before they met several dream cultivators who were engaged in expeditionary cultivation. The two of them cried and told the dream cultivators what had happened, and begged them to help them send a message to the city lord's mansion for help. After all, the two of them are just ordinary people, and they don't know when they will go when they arrive in Cave City.

After hearing this, those dream cultivators were also shocked! They had often heard about the evil dream cultivators, and the evil cultivators at least had the strength of the late stage of the dream maniac, and they were not even afraid of ordinary dream kings, and they were powerless with a few of them. What's more, Evil Dream Cultivation is the kind of evil existence that everyone gets and condemns, and it is the mortal enemy of every orthodox Dream Cultivator!

In the end, the dream cultivators decided to cancel the expedition and let the highest cultivator rush to the cave city as fast as possible to report the crime, while the two young men returned to the village, told the others about it, and then waited for help together.

After listening to the words of this group of ordinary people, the night corpse fell into deep thought, his face cloudy, as if he was worried about something.

"Master Dream Cultivator, do you think those people will ever wake up?" asked an old woman with gray hair.

Hearing this, the night corpse removed the discoloration from his eyes and face, sighed in a low voice, and then shook his head and did not speak.

――――

Cave City, the City Lord's Mansion.

In the afternoon, in the quiet garden, in the pavilion by the pond, a middle-aged man in a green robe was sitting alone drinking fragrant tea.

Suddenly, a figure burst into the garden like a sudden wind, and the person who came was dressed in a dark green suit, and his gray face was deeply tired.

"City Lord~!" the man ran to the pavilion and shouted in a panic.

"You seem to be injured, what happened?" the blue-robed man frowned and stood up from the stone bench.

"I and the three law enforcers have been attacked by unknown people one after another! All three of them have lost their dreams, and they are no different from ordinary people. Part of my dreams have been swallowed up, and if I hadn't escaped faster, I probably wouldn't have been able to get back. The most terrifying thing is that I didn't even see the figure of the murderer......" The man in the power suit recounted what he had experienced, and his body couldn't help but tremble a few times as he spoke, and he still seemed to have lingering palpitations.

After hearing this, the blue-robed man was silent, pacing back and forth in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something.

"As far as I guess, it doesn't look like it's a cult work. At that time, when my dream was being devoured, I felt an irresistible suction, and this way of devouring my dream was completely different from that of evil cultivators! Fortunately, I was able to escape by forcibly cutting off my dream in time. The man in the suit paused and continued.

"It seems that I really guessed it! This matter has nothing to do with evil cultivators, but that thing is doing evil!" the blue-robed man suddenly stopped and said in a low voice.

"What is it?" the man in the suit looked puzzled.

"Dream Eater!"

"Isn't that the guardian beast of the royal family, how could it appear in that place!" Although the man in the power suit was very surprised, he was even more puzzled!

Not long after I became the lord of Cave City, the prince came to me and asked me to pay attention to some anomalies in Cave City. Looks like I'm going to go myself. As the blue-robed man spoke, a piece of jade suddenly appeared in his hand.

I saw him holding the jade slip in front of him, then closed his eyes, and opened his eyes after a few breaths.

"I have 'passed on the dream' of this to the prince, and before he arrives, I will keep an eye on this beast, so that there will be no accidents. You can recover from your wounds in the city. The man in the green robe said solemnly.

"My injuries aren't too serious, I'll go and bring more people with you! this beast is too dangerous!" said the man in the power suit, turning to leave.

"No, even you, the master of the late Dream King, can't resist its devouring power, and no matter how many people you go, it's equivalent to giving the dream to that guy for nothing. Don't worry! A Dream Eater alone can't hurt me. The green-robed man snorted lightly, and then said, "You send a few people to fetch those three enforcers back, so that they can retire in peace." ”

A moment later, a cyan figure rose from the city lord's mansion and flew rapidly towards the southeast.

――――

Over the past two days, the Night Corpses have searched and explored all the caves near and around several villages, but found nothing suspicious.

On the morning of the third day, as he flew over a mountain, his brow suddenly moved, and then fell.

When it flies in mid-air, the night corpse feels a little strange! This mountain ridge feels very strange, the mountain is full of huge strange rocks, and there is no green at all.

It's hot summer now, but there are no plants on the huge mountains, which is really suspicious!

Soon, he noticed something even more suspicious.

After walking a few steps, the night corpse suddenly crouched down and stared at the withered wildflowers and weeds under his feet for a while, and the anxious look on his face was replaced by a surging joy in the blink of an eye.

The original aura of this mountain has been completely lost. Therefore, the plants that originally grew alive could not absorb the aura, and naturally died.

The old face of the night corpse blossomed with joy, and suddenly he rose to his feet, circled around the mountain twice, and found a large, hidden hole.

Standing at the mouth of the cave and checking it for a moment, the night corpse was just about to make a move, and a worried look suddenly appeared on his face. After thinking for a moment, an extra spirit stone suddenly appeared in his hand.

The night corpse gently placed the spirit stone at the entrance of the cave, and then pressed it with his palm, and the spirit stone was pushed to the ground. Then he stretched out his index finger and drew a straight line at the entrance of the hole, and wrote a few words on the top of the straight line.

After doing this, the night corpse nodded in satisfaction, and then his body moved, and suddenly rose into the air, shooting towards a certain mountain range to the west.

After half a burnt of incense, the night corpse landed on a green hill.

After scanning the environment on the mountain, the five fingers of the night corpse's right hand were spread, and the Ice Spirit Knife appeared in his palm out of thin air.

The figure suddenly flashed, and the night corpse appeared in front of a tall stone block in the southeast corner, and then raised his right hand and quickly swung it on the stone rock with the ice spirit knife.

After a few breaths, a strange carving appeared on the rock, and he plunged the Ice Spirit Knife into the rock, standing in the air and forming a handprint at a rapid pace, and then pressed his palms abruptly against the stone face.

Next, the Night Corpse pulled out the Ice Spirit Knife, and in a trance, reappeared in front of a high rock in the northeast corner. Similarly, a pattern is drawn on the stone rock, and a handprint is formed and pressed towards the stone face.

In this way, the night corpse did the same thing on a large rock in the southwest corner and then on the northwest corner.

After doing all this, many beads of sweat oozed from the night corpse's face, and without pausing, he turned and shot away in the direction he had come and gone.
