The sudden fall did not last long. Xiao Taomaru's exclamations were still echoing in his ears. Li Mu felt a pain in his butt and sat on the cold masonry ground.
The numbness coming from his tailbone made Li Mu couldn't help grinning. Before he could get up, his sight was obscured by a gust of fragrant wind, and then a ball of warmth fell into his arms.
Although Xiao Momowan's figure was absolutely perfect due to his heavy weight, Li Mu, who had already fallen to pieces, was still blinded by the girl's impact. If his body wasn't strong enough, he might have fainted directly.
"Are you...are you okay?"
Xiao Taowan, who had used Li Mu as a meat pad and was not seriously injured, was a little embarrassed. He helped Li Mu with a red face and a bruised face, and asked with concern whether he was injured.
"I'm fine. They're just superficial injuries. Where are they?"
It was only then that the two of them observed the environment they were in for the first time. Different from the previous wide cave, they were now placed in an extremely narrow tunnel. The ground and walls were all made of bricks cut from stones. The humid air made all the stone bricks covered with water droplets.
Darkness and eerie silence are the main theme of this corridor. The small space creates an inexplicable sense of oppression, especially in the darkness in the distance. It always feels like there are countless pairs of eyes watching the two people. This makes the two people just Li Mu, who defeated Triangle Head, felt a drum in his heart.
"The mark in the sea of consciousness reacted. It seems that we have broken the core of the dream just now, but it should only be a small part, not enough for Master Baili to trace the location of the dream builder."
When Li Mu fell into the fear caused by the unknown, the attentive Xiao Taowan discovered the changes in the sea of consciousness. The marks placed by Baili gave off a little bit of light. It was obvious that in the cave battle just now, they had already been unaware of the changes in the sea of consciousness. In the case of love, the core of the dream was discovered.
"I think it should be the weird red spear with the triangular head. This message is very important. It shows that destroying the items that are the core of the dream can also help us identify the identity of the dream builder. We can also use this as a clue to continue exploring. "
After a while, the two of them summed up some rules about the core of the dream. Although they were all based on guesses, they had made initial progress, which made Li Mu and Xiao Momomaru less nervous.
After taking a few high-quality healing potions, the two continued their journey to explore the dreamland. The corridor was still very long, and the closed environment made the concept of time extremely weak. Li Mu felt that his feet were numb. , but still couldn’t find anything noteworthy.
Although the entire corridor sometimes goes up and sometimes down, and there are countless bends and forks, no matter what Li Mu and Xiao Taomaru try, they can't escape from the cold and wet stone bricks.
"Do you have to fight monsters like before to leave? Does this Dream Builder only have fighting as an option in his mind? He can even do some escape rooms. If this continues, people will be driven crazy."
Being tortured by the same scenery in front of him, Li Mu madly complained about the actions of the Dream Builders, and his temper became more and more violent. If he had explosives on hand, Li Mu would definitely detonate them without hesitation and completely blow up the corridor. broken.
At this critical moment, a glimmer of clarity from the heart of the Holy Spirit pulled Li Mu back from the edge of madness. He immediately realized that this endless monotonous repetition was just a method used by dreamers. ?
There are many ways to break down a person's spirit. Terror from monsters is one, and endless loneliness is also another. If not for the help of the Heart of the Holy Spirit, I really can't imagine what I would do next. whats the matter.
Li Mu, who realized that he almost got killed, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He took several deep breaths to suppress the annoyance and mania in his heart.
And when he turned his attention to Xiao Momomaru who had been following him, he realized that the girl's eyes had turned red at some point, veins popped up on her forehead, and her fists were clenched and unclenched, and then clenched again. , the whole person seems to be losing his mind at any time.
"not good."
Li Mu was extremely worried. Both of them were now in a dream, especially Xiao Tao Wan, who almost relied on the spiritual connection to maintain his "physical body". If he fell into the madness after chaos, even he, the master of the dream, would not be able to recover, and would eventually become One of the victims of Honda City.
As the saying goes, it is important to be informal in emergency situations. Li Mu did not hesitate and struck the back of Xiao Momomaru's neck with his sword. The girl immediately went limp and passed out.
"Sorry, sorry, but I still want to offend you. When this is over, I will apologize to you properly."
Li Mu kept saying sorry to Xiao Taomaru, then grabbed the other person's slender arm and put the girl directly on his shoulders. After confirming that everything was safe, he continued to move deeper into the corridor.
The girl's body fragrance and the softness coming from across the body made Li Mu's heart flutter, but it was quickly dismissed by him with a punch, and he secretly cursed himself for being such a rubbish.
Perhaps the dream builder realized that he could no longer rely on environmental oppression to disturb Li Mu's mind. Not long after walking, Li Mu found that he had arrived at a hall that he had never been to before.
The towering hall still maintains the style of stone bricks. Against the dark and damp background, a small pyramid stands on the central tower base.
"Then...could it be?"
The end of the corridor finally appeared, and Li Mu should have been in a happy mood, but when the thing at the top of the pyramid appeared in front of his eyes, his blood energy rushed straight to the Tianling Cap as if there was no valve, and there was nothing else, just because it was a ball covered with spider webs. giant egg.
In previous lives, the appearance of this egg marked the arrival of a terrifying predator. People named this monster that should not have appeared, Alien.
This kind of alien monster not only looks extremely terrifying, but also has great combat power and cruelty. Its weird parasitism and reproduction methods have provided all the explanations for fear in Li Mu's memory.
Due to the successful creation of Alien, there are endless movies with stories surrounding it, and all of them are classics, so much so that Li Mu had to watch them all even if he covered his eyes, thus leaving the image of this alien predator It was deeply engraved in his mind.
"This man in black robe is too bad. First he gave me the whole red triangle head, and now he even made out the aliens. Next, is he going to let me defeat the zombies in Resident Evil?"
At this time, Li Mu has determined that the dreamer's method is to reshape the fear deep in the memory of the dream owner, thereby destroying his spirit, and ultimately causing the symptoms of the strange half-madness.
Without time to think about it, Li Mu placed the still unconscious Xiao Momomaru in a safe corner of the hall, and then pulled out the Jueying Sword and prepared to fight against what might be the most terrifying monster in the history of the previous life.
