The two said goodbye to the villagers who had regained their strength, watched them walk in the direction of the village, and then returned to the cold cave. www.biquge.info This time, the two of them chose another fork in the road, following it to a deeper space than before.

As the two of them progressed, the temperature continued to drop, and ice crystals began to condense on the walls of the cave around them, and miniature stalactites made of ice hung overhead. The road beneath his feet was slippery with ice, and Yuffie walked cautiously until there was an unsettling wave of magic ahead.

Two horse-like monsters, shrouded in black smoke, condensed in front of them out of thin air, raising their front hooves and stepping towards them. Lynn instinctively raised her hand to grab the fallen horse's leg—and then grabbed it, flung the half-virtual body against the rock wall to the side. She erected a simple force field barrier in front of her and watched as another monster crashed headlong into it.

The monster writhed in the air, trying to continue attacking the two of them. Yuphie quickly chanted a spell, and several sharp blades swept through the bodies of the two monsters, tearing them into harmless pieces.

Such an enemy obviously does not pose much of a threat to Yuffie and Lynn. But, in Yuffe's view, this means that things are getting worse in the cave.

"Ghost-like...... But not ghosts, but the product of embodied dreams. She looked at the black smoke that had dispersed, slightly uneasy, and muttered with interest, "There are indeed many things on this continent that don't exist in El." ”

"It's not just a dream, it's starting to affect reality...... Hopefully everyone else is okay. Lin also expressed her concern, "We'd better hurry." ”

Yuffie nodded, speeding up his pace. It didn't take long for them to find two other missing villagers. Maybe it's because they've been here for a short time, and they're in better shape than the four before them - or maybe it's something to do with the thick hair that covers their bodies and faces.

Just like the last time, they transported the two villagers outside the cave and let the nightmares that haunted them dissipate. It didn't take long for the two to wake up and thank Yuffie and Lynn for that.

"Do you know what's going on here?" Yuffie asked without much expectation.

But to her surprise, the seemingly older youkai answered in the affirmative.

"I've heard that there has been a youkai living here since more than ten years ago." The youkai with a golden mane on its face said, "In a sense, it should be a member of Lily of the Valley Village, but for some reason it doesn't want to stay in the village, and it usually hides from outsiders. Not only that, but it seems that it can make it impossible for others to find it if they want to. ”

"Isn't it a physical youkai?" Yuffie raised an eyebrow and asked with some interest, "Has anyone actually seen it according to the rumors?" ”

"Of course. At least Ahsan and Qingluo must know it. The male youkai replied, "But I don't know where that guy came from." ”

"No problem, the news has already helped." Lin patted the other party's shoulder comfortingly, "You have also worked hard, go back to the village to rest early." ”

It took about two and a half hours to make the two turnbacks, and the sky was already glowing with a faint light, and the sun was poking out from the other side of the earth. Yuffie yawned softly, and once again returned to the depths of the cavern with her friend.

It may have been an accident, but somewhat expected, they saw Ahsan, who was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, seemingly asleep. To her strange point, unlike the others, the Erna male showed no signs of being haunted by nightmares, but also had a faint smile on his face—an expression he had never had seen when he was awake.

The man seemed to sense their presence, and slowly opened his eyes, and the smile on his face dissipated, turning back into indifference and detachment.

"Mr. Ahsan, are you alright?" Although convinced that the other party was okay, Yuffie tried to ask.

"It's okay, I just had a nice dream." The Erna male stood up, not even looking at Yufie, "Since you're here, I'll leave it to you." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he walked past the two of them and walked out of the cave without looking back.

"What the hell is going on with him?" Lin glared at the other party's back and complained with some dissatisfaction, "The Pfister I know is not like this at all!" ”

"Maybe he has his own troubles." Yuffie shrugged her shoulders and tried to defend herself, even if she was equally confused, "Anyway, he said that leaving this place to us means ...... He trusts us in what we do. ”

"That's weird." The blonde girl stuck out her tongue, rounded the corner, and continued to walk forward first.

The air seemed to be getting more humid and cold, even when there was no visible water source nearby. The damp air soaked through Yufie's coat and seeped into her skin, causing the girl to shiver slightly. She raised her hand and waved it a few times, using the secret technique to restore her and Rin's bodies to a comfortable warmth.

The danger doesn't just come from the cold. Yuffie felt a strange tiredness hit her, as if she had just done two days and two nights of experiments, and the clearest thought at this time was to find a bed and get a good night's sleep. She saw her friend's footsteps slow down, raising her hand and yawning.

A warm force flowed through her body, clearing the girl's mind a little - Edda's power sensed the abnormality in her body and began to work spontaneously. She shook her head vigorously and quickly cast a protective spell to isolate the foreign spirit from the two of them.

"Hey, you just fell asleep?" Lin stretched hard and shook her head, but her expression became serious, "It seems that I underestimated that monster a little, even I was almost hit." ”

"There's the power to bring people into dreams, and it's quite hidden. If Qingluo had come here, she would probably have fallen into a dream as well. Yuffie straightened his face and took two deep breaths to prepare his body and mind for emergencies, "I'm afraid, we're close to the source of the problem." ”

As if in response to the girl's words, an ethereal and ethereal voice belonging to a female toddler came faintly from the front.

"Dream-Prayer-Peace-"

It wasn't an illusion, it wasn't a spiritual attack, it was just a mere word that passed through the mind. This may mean that the other person has discovered them, or it may be alone in their murmuring - the meaning of the words is not clear.

Yuffie and her friends glanced at each other and ran in the direction from which the voice came.
