Guxi Village is not large, with only 86 households and a total of 309 people.

This is an ordinary small village, backed by a big mountain, a small stream flows from the mountains, from the front of the village to the distance, meandering and disappearing to the east, on the other side of the stream, is the hundred miles of plain.

This place is dominated by agriculture, and every household has dozens of acres of farmland, and when Di Laier came to Guxi Village, he found that the faces of the people here were full of smiles, not at all like there was an invasion of demonic beasts.

This made Delai wonder, because normally, whenever a monster invades, people should be panicked.

Dilai looked at the road under his feet, this is a bluestone road, the outline of the gravel construction, finally filled with dirt and compacted, very ordinary road, the village structure is also based on this road, presenting a three-layer structure.

The outermost layer is a layer of bluestone wall, which is to prevent the demonic beasts from directly entering the village, and the second layer is some wooden fences, but Di Laier keenly found that the bluestone walls are a little dilapidated, and the fences are even more sparse, which cannot play a role in defending against demonic beasts at all.

If there has been a Warcraft invasion recently, then these things that resist Warcraft should have been reinforced.

Thinking of this, Di Laier stopped a passing boy and asked, "Hello, friend, I am a professional traveler, I would like to ask, do you have any magical beasts near here?"

Saying that, Di Laier also took out the demon hunting notes and shook them in front of the young man: "My profession is to record the demonic beasts in various places. ”

The young man's name was Ah Fei, he was dressed in a gray coarse linen shirt, his skin was tanned from farm work, he glanced at the demon hunting note and gave up identifying Di Laier, because he didn't know how to read at all, but he still replied very seriously: "Lord Professional." If you want to ask about the Warcraft, you also need to ask Brother Si Zhen, who is the guardian of our village. ”

Di Laier is a little confused, who is Si Zhen?

The young man also realized that the handsome big brother in front of him was a traveler, how could he know about Si Zhen, so he hurriedly spoke: Brother Si Zhen lives in a big house in the east of the village, or I will take you there. ”

Di Laier nodded, and soon the young man took Di Laier to the door of a courtyard at the east end of the village and shouted, "Brother Si Zhen, there is a guest here." ”

Soon, a sunny-looking boy walked out, the big boy had a soft pale blonde shoulder-length short hair, handsome facial features, and a slightly chubby figure, unlike the young Ah Fei, Si Zhen's skin was very white, and he was a typical big brother next door.

"Hello, my name is Dillait. Di Laier beckoned to the big boy, and then took out his demon hunting notes, "I'm a traveler, I like to collect information on all kinds of magical beasts, I also ask, are there any magical beasts around here?"

Si Zhen fell silent when he heard the question, and only replied after a moment: "This place is close to the Imperial Capital, you should go to the Professionals Guild in the Imperial Capital to ask, after all, we are all civilians, and we can't recognize them when we meet Warcraft." ”

Di Laier sighed: "My purpose is to see with my own eyes, not to listen to those big men who pick their feet to boast about those false stories. Si Zhen smiled dumbly and explained: "The demonic beasts here have been cleaned up a long time ago, and now there are basically no demonic beasts here, you know, this is near the imperial capital, and the guards dare not let any dangerous demonic beasts near the imperial capital." ”

Di Laier showed a look of regret and was about to leave, when suddenly Si Zhen said again: "Speaking of Warcraft, I still remember that there is a kind of Warcraft called the Black Jiaolong, which is said to be a Jiaolong, but in fact it is just a larger snake, hidden very deeply, so it has not been extinct, this time of year is the time when they have the most traces, if you like it, you can wait here for a few days, maybe you will meet one." ”

Di Laier frowned, he was still going to do it today, and he had to wait for a few days, he didn't have a place to live at all, did he want to go to the field to set up a tent?

"Excuse me, do you have a place to stay?" asked Dillais.

Hearing this, Si Zhen smiled: "If you don't mind, you can live in my house." ”

Di Laier also smiled: "That's so thankful." ”

After returning from dusk with Si Zhen, Di Laier went out to find the traces of the black dragon, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won all battles, and the first step is to find out the news.

Di Laier searched the village for a while, and finally found two masters who were fighting chess under the tree.

"Two masters. Di Laier took out two silver coins and put them on the chess table, and asked with a smile: "Do you know the Warcraft Black Dragon?"

The two uncles were originally very dissatisfied with Di Laier's forcible interruption, but as soon as they saw the silver coin, their faces bloomed, and one of the older uncles picked up a silver coin, turned it upside down, and said: " Speaking of the black dragon, in fact, it is a kind of snake, very big, rumored, we leaned on the hanging mountain was dug a big hole, there is the black dragon's lair, of course, this is just those women's after-dinner gossip, we said that it has been four or five years since we met that kind of monster, I remember the last time I met the black dragon was in the pool at the foot of the hanging mountain, if you want to find the black dragon, you can go there to try your luck. ”

This is, the slightly younger uncle picked up the silver coin and said: "If I remember correctly, Xiao Zhen's doll once had a fight with a black dragon, so there was no black dragon haunted again." ”

Di Laier got the news and began to ask around, and the result was the same as what the two masters said, Di Laier also went to the waterhole at the foot of the mountain, which is a waterhole that flows down from the waterfall on the top of the mountain, the waterhole is not big, the water is not deep, you can see the end at a glance, but you can't find any clues.

At dusk, Di Laier dragged his exhaustion back to Si Zhen's house, and complained to Si Zhen, "I didn't see anything. ”

Si Zhen smiled: "How can it be easy to find, the city defense army has swept this area and swept it, even if there are demonic beasts, they have to hide, in case they are discovered by the city defense army one day, it will be the end of the bones." ”

Di Laier thought about it, and this is indeed the reason.

Si Zhen helped Di Laier solve the accommodation problem, and placed Di Laier in a side room, the night was getting deeper, Di Laier lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, he always felt that something was wrong, at this moment he suddenly felt that there was someone outside, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

After a while, he felt as if someone had come to his room, Di Laier's eyes quietly opened a slit, and then in the moonlight, Di Laier found that the person who came was Si Zhen, but Si Zhen sat on his desk and looked at the demon hunting notebook, turned a few pages and closed the book and quietly left.

Di Lai said secretly: "It turned out that he didn't worry about me, but it's no wonder that suddenly a strange professional came to this village where birds don't, and it was difficult not to be suspected." ”

Late at night, he fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly, when he opened his eyes, he found himself in the dark.

Dilais immediately realized that it was a dream, and there was not much fear in his heart, because theoretically no illusion could trap a magician, and a dream could also be seen as a kind of illusion.

In the darkness, Dilai felt that something seemed to be swimming westward around him, was it the big snake? Dilai muttered in his heart, that snake was actually a dream snake?

At this moment, a hideous snake head came out of the darkness, and its big mouth made a devouring gesture, and at the same time, a cold voice sounded in the space: "Get out of this village, get out of this village, or I'll eat you." ”

Di Lai's face was expressionless, his arms slowly spread, and countless ash butterflies emerged from the air, illuminating the entire space

It seemed to be a mountain, surrounded by blue-black rocks, and a thirty-meter-long serpent coiled in front of Dilai.

"Sorry to disappoint you. Di Lai waved his hand, and countless palm-sized butterflies flapped their wings and flew towards the giant snake, "Although I don't know what your purpose is, your spiritual power can't crush me, and I can be immune to your illusion." ”

The pale golden vertical pupils of the black giant snake reflected the fire light of the flame butterfly, and the body slowly retreated, and finally merged into the wall and disappeared, and the entire dream space was shattered, Di Laier woke up from the dream and looked out the window, at this time the sky was dark, and the sky was not the bright moon.

Delaire wanted to find the magic hat, but he didn't find it.

"Hey?" said Delair, "a dream within a dream?" ”
