With the resolute hiss of the stars, the illusory scene collapsed in an instant.

In silence, he looked at the father who was staring at his back, full of concern, and the wind chased into a bubble and dissipated, and the determination in the star's gaze was still there.

In the next moment, Xu Ran and the other two small figures appeared not far ahead.

Is this nightmare over?

Xingchen had an excited look in his eyes.

"Sigh~" (I'm coming~)

It let out a hiss, raised its hooves and ran in the direction of its companion.

However, the next moment, a stunned look appeared in Xingchen's eyes.

With each step it took, its companion moved more and more, moving the two farther and farther apart until it was impossible to see each other's figures, only a small dot could be faintly seen.

As in the previous memory, it was unable to catch up with the other foals.

"Huh?!"

——

"Xiao Ran! Time to eat! ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Ran sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes.

He looked at the familiar furnishings, and the light in his eyes gradually converged, and then his expression changed suddenly.

This is... A home from your past life?

How can it be?

Haven't you already crossed over?

He vividly remembered that the last moment, he was fighting alongside three pet beasts, and was attacked by the mysterious Guardian of the Monarch Rank and lost consciousness.

Could it be that he died again in that battle and crossed back again?

Or is it the nightmare that the Guardian weaves?

That's right! System!

Xu Ran's eyes lit up, and then his mind moved, and he called out the system.

Seeing the reappearance of the familiar system panel, and the pet beast of the contract was still displayed, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he did not cross back in time.

It's just a nightmare created by the other side.

But there's one thing to say...

Xu Ran looked around curiously, surprised in his heart.

This nightmare turned out to be the world of his previous life, which was really beyond his expectations.

"Tuk-tuk."

With a few slightly hurried knocks, the door of the room was opened at this moment, and a middle-aged woman wearing an apron pushed the door in, frowning slightly and looking at Xu Ran.

"Xiao Ran, why don't you respond!"

"It's coming, it's coming!" Xu Ran smiled, quickly got out of bed, walked to the woman, paused, and hugged her, "Mom, I miss you." ”

"This kid... What's the trouble? The woman's face was a little more confused.

"Nothing." Xu Ran let go of his mother with a smile, "What about my dad?" ”

"In the living room, if you don't get up again, he'll have to beat him up again." The woman spoke angrily.

"It's okay, I still miss being beaten up by my dad." Xu Ran was still smiling heartlessly, "By the way, what are you eating today, is it Yangchun noodles?" ”

"Yes, and I added two fried eggs to you." The woman nodded.

"That's so good, I haven't had this bite in months." Xu Ran laughed, rushed to the dining table quickly, and saw the familiar steaming thin noodles and the two fried golden poached eggs on it, and his eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

If it's a nightmare, let it last longer.

He remembers the day.

After graduating from home on this day, after eating breakfast made by his mother, he went to a company to apply for an interview, but he was in a car accident on the road and woke up to another world.

It was his last day in this world.

"Sleeping so late again." Seeing Xu Ran on the table, the middle-aged man sitting in the living room reading the newspaper snorted lowly, put the newspaper on the coffee table, walked to the dining table and sat down, "Go to bed early and get up early, is it so difficult for you?" ”

"Dad, there are a few young people who can go to bed early and get up early now." Xu Ran mumbled and put a mouthful of Yangchun noodles into his mouth, and said with a smile.

In my mind, a familiar feeling emerged.

Like, the same was true of the conversation at that time.

"Hmph, clean up after eating later, look at your chicken nest-like hair, which unit is willing to hire a raunchy guy like you?" The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, stopped talking, and only ate noodles quietly.

"Don't worry." Looking at his father with a cold face and a warm heart, Xu Ran was dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at his mother, who was still busy cleaning up the stove, "Mom, don't clean up, eat first." ”

"Okay." Mother quickly walked out with two side dishes, "Eat." ”

After eating a mouthful of Yangchun noodles, Xu Ran's eyes were full of nostalgia.

The original ordinary Yangchun noodles, he seemed to be eating peerless delicacies, and he had to savor every bite.

When a bowl of noodles was finished, Xu Ran didn't even have any soup left, so he reluctantly handed the bowl and chopsticks to his mother, "Mom, I'm done." ”

"Why did you eat so clean today?" The mother was a little more surprised on her face, and then smiled indifferently, "When you are full, work hard and strive to apply for a new job today!" ”

"Are you applying?" Xu Ran glanced at the wall clock on the wall.

At this time in his previous life, he had already gone out.

Next, it's a car accident and crossing.

Because he was eating noodles slowly just now, he is still at home at the moment.

So...

This nightmare should be over, right?

Seeing that the surrounding scene had become vaguely illusory, Xu Ran sighed slightly in his heart, and then showed the brightest smile and looked at his parents.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm doing well now."

As the words fell, the surrounding scenes, along with the mother standing in front of her with chopsticks and her father sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, disappeared.

——

In the dark depths of the earth, in a quiet and empty crypt, a slightly round figure covered in long hair sat casually on the ground.

It has a pair of strange purple-black eyes that seem to look at each other, and can easily make people fall into terrible nightmares.

Around it, there was an invisible but extremely oppressive terrible power, a terrifying power that belonged to the royal class, and even faintly surpassed.

At this moment, in front of this powerful creature, there was a mirror formed by the convergence of energy from four sides.

In the first mirror, there was a thunder beast that could not see the shape clearly, and it was fighting with the purple clouds with a petite body and covered with pitch-black thunder light.

Seeing that in the picture presented by the mirror, Ziyun's body was covered with terrifying black power, and there was a majestic presentation that made it feel awe-inspired, and a trace of caution appeared in the eyes of this powerful creature.

When it was just probed, it had already vaguely noticed that something unusual was in this human pet beast.

Is it the whole picture that is being shown in the nightmare at this moment?

Thinking of this, the eyes of the powerful creature were a little more thoughtful, and he turned his head to look at the second mirror in front of him,

In the second mirror, he ran as hard as he could, trying to catch up with his companion's stars.

Seeing it completely immersed in the second layer of dreams, a hint of smile and pride appeared in the eyes of the powerful creature.

However, this smile and pride quietly disappeared when its gaze turned to the third mirror.

On that mirror, the mighty creature saw a terrifying beast with a body length of more than a kilometer, lying on the ground and sleeping.

For a while, there was a little more helplessness in the purple-black eyes that should have been indifferent and mysterious.

Facing such a heartless guy is indeed not what it is good at.

No matter how much it used its abilities, it couldn't dig out the shadows and painful experiences in this guy's heart.

Therefore, it can only forcibly trap it with the power of dreams.

The purple-black eyes turned to the last mirror on the other side, looking at the chaos in the mirror, and there was a little more jealousy and confusion in his eyes.

For some reason, it was supposed to be able to see the dream situation of the opponent who was caught in its own nightmare, but it couldn't see what the nightmare of the human in front of it was.

Like, there is something more powerful that blocks its prying eyes.

Thinking of this, the powerful creature scratched its head, with a bit of helplessness in its eyes, and its deep voice echoed in the crypt.

"Luke~"

It turned its head to look at the rock wall beside it.

On the other side of the rock wall, there was a faint majestic thunder force surging over.

There was also a low thunderclap that reverberated throughout the crypt.

There, there is something it must protect.

Even if the intruder is strong this time, it has to...

"Lubi~"

A cheerful voice with a little childishness echoed from far away from the crypt, interrupting the thoughts of the powerful creature.

The purple-black eyes of the powerful creature were a little warmer.

It looked away from the four mirrors and looked in the direction of the upper passage of the crypt.

Soon, a small furball that resembled it, but was much smaller and more round, walked closer to the powerful creature.

"Lubi~"

Two flexible tentacles on the little furball's forehead swayed, lightly touching the body of the powerful creature.

This is their family's greeting with a sense of dependence.

"Huh?"

Have you just fed the Dream Weaver Silkworm?

The powerful creature raised a large hand and touched the little hairball's head, and the smile in his eyes became a little stronger.

"Lubi!"

Right! The silk collected before is used up!

The little furball nodded, and the light purple eyes were filled with joy and anticipation, and the wash remembered something happy.

"Lubi?"

I gave Dream Weaving Silk to humans, will you be angry?

"Luke~"

It's just some silk, and you're happy.

The powerful creature touched the tentacles on the little furball's head with its large hand, and spoke in a reassuring tone.

"Lubi!"

That's good!

The little furball nodded reassuringly, and the look of anticipation in his eyes became a little stronger.

It had memorized the name and address of that store.

When you harvest the new Dream Weaving Silk, go to that shop and wash it again!

Immediately afterward, the little furball noticed the four mirrors in the air.

It is no stranger to the power of powerful beings.

"Lubi?"

Are there new invaders?

It looked closely at the picture in the mirror, and when it saw the stars and brilliance in the second and third mirrors, a look of surprise appeared on its face.

Hey?

It's not...

It remembered that on that day, before entering the human city and taking the initiative to take the stage to be cleaned, the human named Xu Ran summoned two pet beasts to assist the last pet beast who had been baptized.

And those two pet beasts seem to be the two in front of them.

An incredible guess came to the eye of the little furball.

Its light purple eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Lubi?!"

Are the intruders?!

"Huh?"

Do you know them?

The powerful creature looked sideways at the small furball beside him, and there was a bit of surprise in his purple-black eyes.

"Lubi~"

Acquaintance, before I...

The tentacles on the top of the little hairball's head moved, and then quickly told the powerful creature beside him about his previous experience.

After listening to the little furball's story, the eyes of the powerful creature showed a thoughtful look.

"Lubi~"

The little furball touched the powerful creature with its tentacles, and there was a hint of pleading in its eyes.

The powerful creature's eyes were full of displeasure, but after glancing at the little furball, he shook his head helplessly.

"Luke~"

All right... But it's not that easy for them to get their hands on what I'm guarding.

The powerful creature waved its hand casually, and the four mirrors in front of it shattered and dissipated.

On the other side, one person and three pets, who were immersed in their respective dreams and couldn't wake up, also opened their eyes at the same time.

"Everybody's all right." As soon as he broke free from the dream, Xu Ran's eyes fell on the three little ones who gradually came back to their senses from their daze.

In Ziyun's eyes, there was still madness and fierce killing intent, and it seemed that the previous nightmare might have had a big impact.

Xingchen's mood seemed a little low, and he didn't seem to be completely out of the nightmare.

It's Brilliant...

Xu Ran looked at Cancan, who seemed to have just woken up, and the look in his eyes was a little more strange.

What did this guy go through in the nightmare?

"Meow~" (I'm fine.) ）

Ziyun, who came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

In the second nightmare, it watched the incomparable thunderbolt creature kill Xu Ran and the other two little creatures, and instantly entered a madness, and without hesitation, it turned on the divine punishment and fought to the death.

Now that it woke up, it checked its own situation for the first time, but fortunately, there was no trace of divine punishment on its body.

That is, it does not have to suffer the pain of divine punishment again.

It's just that...

Thinking of the feeling that his companion was killed in the dream and he was powerless, Ziyun's eyes were faintly a little more angry and unwilling.

It's a dream now, but what if there really is such a day in the future?

Thinking of this, Ziyun suddenly had a strong sense of urgency.

At this moment, it is only handsome, and it is still too weak.

Evolution must be completed as soon as possible!

"Sigh~" (I'm fine.) ）

The stars hissed and shook their heads slightly.

In the second dream, it was actually a little lucid and realized that it was a nightmare.

However, when it saw its untouchable companion, it still abandoned its original reason and kept chasing after it.

Thinking of this, Xingchen couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It seems that I still need to become calmer~

"Cha~" (I slept quite soundly~)

Cancan shook his huge head, and there was still a bit of dazed look on his face.

And its unique performance also made Xu Ran and the other two little expressions gradually become strange.

"Huh?" (Are we going to go any further?) ）

The stars hissed and asked.

Hearing this, Xu Ran showed a thoughtful look.

At the moment, he was a little unsure of the thoughts of the guardian who was hiding in the shadows.

There is no doubt that the group of them got rid of the nightmare at the same time, and it was the other party who did it on purpose.

So the purpose is to warn yourself and others? Still is...

But there is one thing, Xu Ran is very clear.

That is, the strength of the other party is higher than they expected, and with the repellent ring of the stars, they cannot resist the power of the other party.

In this way, the threat of not knowing the attitude of the other party and continuing to go deeper is self-evident.

Just when one person and three pets hesitated, a vague and invisible fluctuation was wrapped in thunder, spreading towards one person and three pets.

The moment this non-aggressive fluctuation touched one person and three pets, an idea was born in their minds.

That's an invitation.

An invitation from the powerful Guardian who hides in the shadows.

The other party wants to meet them.

The three little ones looked at each other, and then looked at Xu Ran.

"Check it out." Xu Ran hesitated for a moment, and then spoke without hesitation.

If the other party wants to harm them, there are countless opportunities just now.

So, it shouldn't be too dangerous for them.

"On the bright side, maybe the Guardian is willing to give us something from the Thundering Lands after talking to us?" Xu Ran smiled and made a joke to ease the slightly solemn atmosphere at the moment.

With Xu Ran making a decision, the three little ones no longer hesitated.

Cancan shook his head, no longer needing to retain his strength to prevent the grass from startling the snake, and the earthy yellow fluctuations around it spread into the distance, quickly and accurately staring at the location of a hidden crypt in the depths of the earth, and quickly swam towards it.

After a short time, Cancan took Xu Ran and two other small ones through the rock wall and appeared in the empty crypt.

In the crypt, the sound of thunder echoed endlessly, proving the extreme distance between this place and the land of thunder.

However, at this moment, the thoughts of one person and three pets are not in the land of thunder.

Their eyes were locked in the crypt in unison, a powerful creature with a body about ten meters tall, with thick and muscular limbs, four tentacles on the top of the head, and purple-black eyes full of strange light.

From the strength of the aura, one person and three pets can easily judge that the other party is the guardian who guards the thundering land, and his strength faintly exceeds the upper limit of the king's level, and he has just shot at them.

Although the other party took the initiative to stop just now, but at this moment, feeling that the other party's strength was enough to crush their own, Xu Ran and the three little ones still couldn't help but tense up, and they didn't dare to relax for a minute.

At this moment, a slightly familiar cheerful voice echoed in the empty crypt.

"Lubi~"

With the sound heard, a small furball stepped out from behind the Guardian.

Looking at those light purple eyes and flexible tentacles on the top of his head, Xu Ran's face was a little more surprised and stunned, "Sanddemon group?!" ”

With just one glance, he could tell that the nebuta in front of him was the one he had washed and cared for when he was openly washing before.

However, how could the other party be here?

Wait a minute...

Xu Ran looked at the Nebuta group, and then at the huge and powerful guardian.

Although there are many differences in the appearance of the two sides, they can still find many common features.

So... Is this Guardian an evolved form of the Sandman?

So what is the relationship between this Sandman and it...

Without waiting for Xu Ran to continue, the Guardian let out a low voice.

"Luke~"

At the same time, the meaning corresponding to its voice appears in the minds of one person and three pets.

(Are you also here for the Brontosaurus?) ）

"Brontosaurus?" Xu Ran couldn't help but look at a certain side of the rock wall next to him, he could sense that the majestic thunder power was behind that rock wall, "What is that?" ”

Although Xu Ran has already learned about many extraordinary resources at this moment, these resources are still only the tip of the iceberg in the extraordinary world.

The Thunder Dragon Stone mentioned by the Guardian in front of him was something he didn't know.

While Xu Ran raised a question, a blank look also appeared on the faces of the three little ones.

Apparently, they have not heard of such a resource either.

"This senior, we sensed that there was thunder underground, so we wanted to come and see, and we didn't know what the Thunder Dragon Stone was." Xu Ran hesitated for a moment, then smiled cheekily, "It's all here, I don't know if this thunder dragon stone can be taken away?" ”

The Guardian glanced at Xu Ran.

Immediately afterward, a bit of thought appeared in its eyes, as if it was considering and weighing something.

Eventually, the Guardian spoke in a low voice.

"Lulu~Lulu~"

(The Thunder Dragon Stone is a sub-transcendent resource of the overlord class that was gathered by the power left in the corpse after the overlord-level thunder god silent dragon fell here.) ）

(The Thor-Silent Dragon has been so gracious to me that I'm going to guard its remains.) ）

(For the sake of your baby's washing, I can allow you to take a piece of Thunder Dragon Stone.) ）

(But...) ）

There was a slight pause in his voice, and the Guardian's eyes were a little more aggressive.

"Luke~"

(Only one piece can be taken, and its remains cannot be damaged.) ）

"No problem!"

Xu Ran spoke without hesitation.

Before coming here, he was mentally prepared to return empty-handed as long as he could go back safely.

At this moment, when he heard that the guardian in front of him allowed him to take away a piece of the so-called Thunder Dragon Stone, he was too late to be happy.

After all, from the other party's description, it was a thunder supernatural resource of the overlord class.

Such a resource must be a huge boost to Ziyun.

Ziyun was at the critical stage of preparing to evolve into an emperor race at this moment, and this resource came just in time.

Thinking of this, Xu Ran's gaze at the nebuta group was suddenly full of kindness.

The system is really good, the Sandman group can really bring good luck to themselves.

This good luck may not be the previous dream weaving silk.

It should be this time.

"Luke~"

(Come with me.) ）

Glancing at one person and three pets, the guardian turned and walked in the direction where the thunder came from, and a large hole in the rock wall broke in front of it, revealing a dazzling purple thunder light inside.

The remains of an extremely well-preserved, hideous and domineering dragon transcendent creature with a body of more than 100 meters were lying quietly on the other side of the big cave.

On the rock wall and the earth not far from it, prismatic purple crystals grow, like crystals that grow naturally.

These purple crystals contain extremely strong power, and there are even golden dragon-shaped currents inside that constantly collide with the surface of the crystals, making a humming sound like thunder.

The thunder that came out of the cave was the resonance of the sounds coming together from these purple crystals.

"Luke~"

(These purple ones are all Brontosaurus, pick one.) ）

The Guardian spoke calmly, then stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at one person and three pets.

Xu Ran took a deep breath, glanced at each other with the three little ones, and slowly stepped forward.

Under his leadership, one person and three pets first bowed respectfully to the fallen dragon corpse, and then began to choose it quietly.

Such details made the Guardian's eyes feel a little more kindness.

In its mind, it silently made a decision.

Seeing that this human and his pet beast respect the Thunder God Silent Dragon so much, if the other party does not choose a good enough Thunder Dragon Stone, it can give them the one he treasures.

Completely unaware of his small actions, he ushered in such a big favor from the other party, Xu Ran and Sanxiao got together, and quickly carefully dug out a thunder dragon stone with a length of one meter.

In the smooth crystal surface of the Thunder Dragon Stone, the golden dragon-shaped thunder and lightning made Ziyun's eyes light up in an instant.

It could feel that this purple crystal was not a particularly precious thing, what was really precious was the golden dragon-shaped thunderbolt sealed in it.

This kind of thunder and lightning is the convergence of the power of the overlord-level thunder god Silent Dragon in front of him, which is not the same as ordinary thunder and lightning.

Absorb it, and the improvement of yourself is unimaginable!

But...

Ziyun turned his head and looked at the other thunder dragon stones around him.

It knew that it was not yet time to make its own choice.

Since you can only take one piece, you must take the best!

"Let's go somewhere else." Guessing its thoughts from Ziyun's expression, Xu Ran smiled, and then carefully put the thunder dragon stone back in its place.

One person and three pets continued to search, and soon found a thunder dragon stone of about the same size.

Put it down again, look for it again.

Xu Ran quickly realized that this was a bit inefficient.

After all, there are thousands of thunder dragon stones in this cave.

"Let's split up." He looked at the three little ones and made a decision.

The three little ones also understood the reason that it was more efficient to search separately, and after nodding, they scattered and separated without hesitation, looking in four different directions.

After a while, a bright and slightly excited voice sounded in the cave.

"Cha!" (This piece is so big!) ）

Xu Ran and the other two little ones looked at each other, and soon saw Cancan carefully holding a piece of thunder dragon stone and nodding.

And the length of that Brontosaurus Stone is two meters.

The golden dragon-shaped thunder and lightning inside are even more dazzling and abnormal.

"Very good!" Xu Ran gave Cancan a thumbs up, "Let's look for it again!" If there is no other better, choose the one that can be can! ”

Ziyun and Xingchen nodded, not to be outdone, looking for them.

Soon, Ziyun's side also found a Brontosaurus Stone that was roughly two meters long.

And Xingchen's gaze, this is fixed in a cluster of thunder dragon stones, a somewhat special thunder dragon stone.

In this thunder dragon stone, there was no golden dragon-shaped thunderbolt.

Its color is also not so clear, and it looks a little cloudy.

So much so that there seems to be something in it, but the stars cannot be seen.

After only hesitating for a moment, Xingchen carefully carried this special thunder dragon stone on his back, turned around and walked in the direction of Xu Ran.

I decided to choose it!

Take it back and show it to Xu Ran!
