Chapter 317: Nightmare Depth
Yunus's words seemed to poke at the deep nerves of the middle of the range at once, making him sensitive.
Nightmare World.
It's scary, of course.
But it's full of sustenance for the Flower of Sin.
Desire and despair are everywhere in every horrific nightmare cycle. While it can't all be like Nightmare Town, with such a large amount of despair accumulated, it's at least easier to find than in reality.
If there was little hope for him to ascend to the transcendent with the energy realm, relying on the Flower of Sin to break through would be another way out for him.
Proposal for Yunus.
Cheng Shen couldn't help but be moved.
But it was the other party who took the initiative to make him smell some kind of conspiracy.
Cheng Shen looked at it calmly, and the various emotional perceptions in Yunus's body were mixed together, showing a colorful light cluster, no one emotional perception was missing, but no one emotion was particularly prominent.
Onigiri reads a book
There is no malice.
His proposal seems to be just about getting a deal.
"Deal."
Cheng Shen nodded after thinking for a while.
"You won't be disappointed."
Yunus smiled subtly and threw over an object, the form of this object was a gray mist, wandering, but at the moment of taking it, Cheng Shen's cognition was instilled with a message: this is a key.
[Obtained: The Key to Nightmares!] 】
……
"By the way, entering the nightmare world requires you to bind an anchor point in advance, if it is your own nightmare, it is naturally best, if you don't open the anchor point, you may be randomly teleported into some very scary nightmares......"
Yunus kindly reminded.
"Binding anchor ......" Cheng Shen took the key to the nightmare thoughtfully, and he turned to say: "What is the division of the horror level of the nightmare?" ”
"There is a charge for me to answer the question...... But for the sake of you're a new customer, I can tell you about this for free. ”
Yunus stopped what he was doing.
"First of all, the multiple areas of the Nightmare World, the gray fog, the white fog, and the black fog, you should already understand.
The different colors of fog represent the depth of your fall in the nightmare, and the deeper you fall into the area, the harder it will be for you to get out.
And above the black fog, there is also the heart fog, and the void fog......
It is said that it is possible to find the fabled Lost Land through the Void Mist, but this rumor has never been confirmed. ”
Yunus mentions a familiar word.
The Lost Lands.
That's where the kings of the past buried themselves......
Cheng Shen's heart moved slightly.
The world of the sea of blood that he had presented many times in his consciousness when he accepted the inheritance should have been somewhere in the Lost Lands.
But that's still too far away......
Yunus also said: "With your current soul strength, in the gray mist world, as long as you don't provoke some special existences, you can basically survive safely." There is also a certain amount of self-preservation in the white fog area...
The premise is that
Don't get caught up in those difficult dreams. ”
"The horror of the dream is determined by the strength of the soul of the dreamer, and the higher the intensity of the dreamer's soul, the more terrible things will appear in his nightmare.
We generally divide the intensity of nightmares into nine levels. ”
Yunus said.
"We?"
Cheng Shen captures the keyword.
Yunus ignored it and continued: "For example, this nightmare town has already reached the strength of a fifth-level nightmare, it was supposed to appear in the White Mist area, but it was stolen by some shameless thief! ”
Cheng Shen reflected on his words.
Yunus's words were inadvertently revealing a wealth of information, at least allowing him to surmise that the forces behind him should have an official background belonging to the Nightmare World itself......
Like,
System.
He came here to get Nightmare Town back on track and out of Murdox's control, but judging from the fact that he still wants to use himself, it doesn't seem that the authority he has personally is much higher.
And the other message that Yunus revealed was the explanation.
Such as a "magistrate" like him.
More than one.
This information has already involved the transaction he mentioned before, and Cheng Shen knows that he can't ask anything.
Instead, he said, "Can this nightmare town reach level 5?" ”
As soon as the words were finished.
Cheng Shen suddenly realized a key problem.
The horror of this nightmare is not fully revealed to itself.
Even if he has killed Murdox and controlled the root of this nightmare, evil. But none of them are head-to-head, and the real horrors in the town are the dream demons that even the devil fears.
They are the real source of this nightmare!
"Something that even transcendents would be afraid of...... What did they see in that city at the beginning......" Thinking of the terrifying sight of a blood-red figure falling from the sky, Cheng Shen couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There was a chill in my heart.
Fortunately.
Those dream demons were fears that Murdox couldn't control.
But in this case, if he wanted to set the anchor point for opening the nightmare here, he would have to think twice.
"Otherwise, why do you think I haven't taken this place for so long?"
Yunus snorted.
"What about the monastery?"
Cheng Shen asked again.
Yunus gave him a strange look, "I'm not omniscient, how can I know what you're going through outside?" However, if you encounter a dream in a gray fog area, the maximum level will not exceed level 3.
Level 3 Nightmare, with your current strength, it's hard to escape. ”
“……”
Cheng Shen didn't speak.
He remembered the large white fog he had seen outside the monastery, and it was not supposed to be a dream in the gray fog.
It's a high-level nightmare that is somehow triggered by Murdox.
But then again.
Its purpose was to obtain the holy relic in it, and the difficulty of the monastery was also circumvented by it leading Cheng Shen, directly avoiding the most terrifying nightmare recovery and entering the core area of the nightmare.
So.
The monastery that Cheng Shen experienced was also not a nightmare of complete difficulty.
Yunus said that a third-level dream could threaten him, and it was by no means affected by the talent for energy control, and it was impossible to accurately judge his strength.
Rather, it is a fairly objective evaluation......
Suddenly.
He remembered something.
The nightmare of the deserted village is just affected by the old city, and how difficult will that ancient city be?
Reminiscing about the darkness that enveloped the city.
Cheng Shen felt cold in his heart.
Nightmare Town, and the Abbey of Songs, he didn't "enjoy" the full experience, and he wandered back to the threshold of the near death several times. If that darkness really represents the area of black fog of nightmares, it would be terrible!
"But I don't have much time left......"
Cheng Shen sighed secretly.
He picked up the broken wings and the blood-stained Bible, "What can you get for these two items?" ”
"It depends on what you need."
Yunus said.
"I have potions here that can heal your soul's injuries, death substitutes to help you get out of danger, or items that limit the power of nightmares.
You can pick and choose. ”
Crash!
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shen's body suddenly fell apart, collapsing into a cloud of purple rotten flesh.
He continued to absorb the despair in the evil body, and finally squeezed every bit of the power of the evil, and its already incomplete primordial consciousness exploded into a void of darkness in a chaotic roar.
Cheng Shen's soul body condensed in place.
He used disguise to make the soul look like it was normal, an ability he had just discovered, to make himself look less heretical, and to prevent others from seeing the details through the Flower of Sin.
Evil's death did not cause Nightmare Town's reincarnation reset.
The nightmare resets its node after the night's horror of the night of the hunt.
It's not time yet.
When the ......
A series of soft sounds.
In the evil body that collapsed and disintegrated, a fragment of a broken sword, and two fist-sized eyeballs, one blue and one purple, fell out.
"So here."
Cheng Shen picked up the last piece of the collection, this exiled leader sword was numbered five, and it was the sharpest part of the sword.
Yunus's eyes also changed when he saw the tip of the sword.
"Interesting...... Do you sell this thing? ”
He said with interest.
Cheng Shen looked at him, "Do you know the origin of this fragment?" ”
"I don't know." Yunus flatly denied it, "But one person I know has been trapped in a terrible dream just because he went to find this thing, and he hasn't come out yet......"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly thought of something, and his face changed slightly, "You can't also be involved in that terrifying place, right?" ”
"Unfortunately, you guessed it."
Cheng Shen shrugged.
“……”
Yunus stared at him for a while, his eyes as if he was about to eat people, and after a while, he slowly spit out two words.
"Bad luck."
"If I knew you were involved in that place, I shouldn't have given you a qualification! I thought I had found a potential customer......"
His face was full of regret.
“……”
Cheng Shen looked at him speechlessly.
"Listening to what you mean, I seem to have decided that I will be planted there."
He raised an eyebrow.
"Huh."
Yunus chuckled unemotionally.
"It's not that I despise you, if you knew how terrifying the person I mentioned, you wouldn't have any illusions about leaving there alive, it's a ruthless person who can leave unscathed from the seventh-level dream realm!"
“…… Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, you have to ...... anyway Why don't you sell me everything you have? ”
He said eagerly, as if he missed this stubble and Cheng Shen would never come back.
Though.
Cheng Shen himself doesn't have too many expectations......
"I need to know what they do."
Cheng Shen shook his head.
The eyeball that fell from the evil body was clearly the same level item as the one Murdox had taken out of the convent.
Equally.
These four holy relics should all be treasures of the same level as the heart of the saint.
After devouring the heart of the Sage, the fake soul created by Cheng Shen failed to directly touch the transcendent bottleneck, but obviously, it played the same role. From this, it can be inferred that the value of these treasures must be very high.
Yunus glanced greedily, seemed to struggle in his heart, and said, "Those two eyeballs should be the legacy of a transcendental-level demon after death, and after refining it, you may be able to obtain some of its abilities."
Broken Wings comes from the Celestials.
And the blood-stained Bible are transcendental items.
The effect of these things can only be known after careful exploration, you don't have much time anyway, I will prepare some life-saving props for you, maybe you will have a slight chance of coming out alive......"
Although his last sentence sounded very pleasant, Cheng Shen always felt that he was already talking nonsense in order to complete the deal......
Gan!
How can I not be confident that I will survive!
Cheng Shen shook his head angrily, just listening to Yunus say that it was really difficult for these four items to be valuable if they were left in his hands.
But.
Cheng Shen himself is a highly accomplished pharmacist and a master of Fu Withering.
If these things are used to make potions or magic items, there is no need to sell them to him.
This Bible alone.
The blood stained on it also exuded the aura of divine light, which did not make its nature evil or ominous.
Cheng Shen felt that he shouldn't need such a magnificent thing...
However, Yunus is talking about two kinds of goods that he has used before.
To talk about the experience......
It's like buying a parachute on an online shopping platform, it must be a good review, because people who want to give bad reviews probably can't afford to give it......
It's terrible!
Cheng Shen's gaze wandered in this cramped clinic, and inadvertently, he saw Yunus injecting the syringes of those sick ghosts.
"Are you treating these patients?"
He asked.
"Hmm...... It can be counted. "Actually, these guys have a strange illness, and I have to find out the cause of their illness before I can find a cure for them...... I'm trying. ”
"Oh."
Cheng Shen nodded clearly, not debunking the fact that he regarded these patients as experimental subjects, "Is there a result?" ”
"I did find out part of the reason." When he said this, Yunus was full of confidence.
It can be seen that he has indeed achieved some results.
That's what Cheng Shen wants.
These sick ghosts are all from that ancient old city, figuring out the cause of their illness, or finding a cure, will help Cheng Shen when exploring that city!
Don't forget, he also got a special item before.
Raven Doctor License.
This item is clearly related to a particular medical profession in that city.
"I want that etiology study in your hand."
Cheng Shen said directly.
"Yes."
Yunus didn't seem too surprised.
He didn't know the source of the sick ghost, let alone the relationship between Nightmare Town and the Old City, but from the moment Cheng Shen asked, he had already expected this possibility.
"Trade it for it."
Cheng Shen pushed the blood-stained Bible out.
Yunus hurriedly took it with both hands, he was entangled for a while, and the greed in his heart was thick and dark in Cheng Shen's perception.
"I ...... this information," he muttered for a moment, the keen nature of a businessman leading him to make a difficult decision.
"My information is actually not very valuable, because it is incomplete, if you exchange it, there will be a lot of value left, I have any goods here, you can choose any three."
He said slowly.
