The footsteps of the eldest grandson echoed in the empty stone path, making people anxious.
Just as Changsun was feeling so anxious at this time.
Finally, Changsun saw Dean Wu and the two at the end of the stone path.
"Dean Wu, Dean Yun!"
The eldest grandson saw the two of them in the empty cell. At this time, the two were sitting cross-legged side by side. On the surface, there was no abnormality, but the eldest grandson only took a cursory glance and found that the situation was not optimistic.
Because the eldest grandson also saw the growth of roots in the two of them.
Changsun found that the door of the cell was unlocked, and it seemed that he was not afraid that the prisoners would escape.
The eldest grandson walked into the cell effortlessly. When he walked in front of Dean Wu and the other two, the scene in front of him shocked the eldest grandson again.
From Changsun's perspective, he could already see behind the two of them.
I saw tree roots as thick as forearms protruding from the ground behind the two of them, then climbing up their backs and penetrating their flesh and blood. The eldest grandson could even see streams of true energy being blown from the tree roots. The two of them sucked it away.
The tree roots that used to represent vitality in his mind now became the devil's claws in Zhangsun's eyes, specializing in sucking human flesh and blood.
Changsun angrily pulled out the knife from his waist and slashed at the tree roots several times. However, he found that the roots looked brittle and easy to break, but when he cut them with the knife, he felt helpless as if the water was cut off.
Changsun was shocked and angry, so he decisively used the Overlapping Wave Sword Technique, pushing the sword's power to its peak in an instant. However, Changsun's powerful blow was like a stone sinking into the sea, and was sucked up by the roots of the tree in an instant.
At this time, Changsun's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
"Ahem... No need to waste your efforts anymore, you can keep cutting..."
Only then did the grandson realize that there was another person kneeling on the ground in the corner of the dungeon. The roots sprouting from his body made him look like a giant hedgehog from a distance.
Without stepping forward to investigate, Changsun knew that this person was in the same situation as Dean Wu and the other two, or even worse than them.
"Senior, what are these?"
Changsun asked anxiously, raising his hands.
"Haha, didn't you see it? You must have an idea in your mind."
"As you can see, and as you can imagine, these things are the roots of this tree. Imprisoning us, and at the same time sucking us in, providing it with nutrients for itself."
Changsun could vaguely see this person's face in the dim light.
This person was wearing a sky-blue robe that looked ancient but was certainly expensive. Although his face was obscured by his fluffy and messy hair, the eldest grandson saw a pale-skinned mandible, a high bridge of nose, and slightly aged eyes in the messy hair.
The prisoner looked a little thin, but his back was straight, which was in contrast to the twilight tone in his voice.
The eldest grandson didn't have time to think about whether the other party was reliable, so he just asked.
"I dare to ask senior, if there is a way to crack it?"
I didn't have any hope at first and rushed to seek medical treatment, but I didn't expect to get a positive reply.
"It must be there, but your cultivation at the charioteer level is not enough."
Changsun's heart sank. If his cultivation was not enough, then who else here could save the two deans.
Thinking of this, Changsun's eyes lit up and he saluted respectfully towards the prisoner.
"Senior, please give me a helping hand!"
The prisoner obviously didn't expect that his grandson would ask for help from him, and said in a strange tone: "Why do you think that what you can't do can be done in my current state."
Changsun looked up awkwardly and looked at the prisoner's current state, thinking that I was indeed asking too much.
The prisoner didn't pay attention, but continued: "You can't do it, but with their own cultivation, there is still a certain chance that they can save themselves."
Changsun's eyes lit up, yes, these two are both masters of the mortal realm. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how bad they are, they will be better than themselves.
Changsun immediately turned around and wanted to wake them up.
"Okay, no need to waste your efforts. The biggest problem between the two of them now is that they are trapped in their own dreams and cannot escape."
"Trapped in a dream?"
"Well, their situation is considered special. They should have been tricked before entering the dungeon, causing the two of them to be trapped in their own dreams. Originally, with their cultivation in the mortal realm, this was not enough to save them in a short time. The only way to kill them is to reincarnate endlessly in a dream, and finally die when their soul is exhausted. But now... haha, with this dungeon torture, I am afraid that they will be sucked into humans before their soul is exhausted. It’s done, hehehe..."
The prisoners' sinister and strange laughter echoed in the dungeon, making the eldest grandson feel a little creepy.
The eldest grandson endured the discomfort in his heart and still spoke respectfully: "Senior, in such a state, you can still understand the situation of the two of them so well. Your knowledge and inscrutability impress this junior."
The eldest grandson flattered him at the right time.
"Senior and junior are talking about this, and I guess there must be a way to save it. Senior is a kind-hearted, compassionate, and charitable person at first glance. Please help me, senior!"
Xiao Cai looked at the sincere look on his eldest grandson's face, and then looked at the prisoner in front of him who looked completely incompatible with kindness. He thought, how can he still be a kind-hearted person even if he is locked up in a dungeon?
The eldest grandson saw the offense in Xiao Cai's eyes and slapped Xiao Cai on the head. He still said with a sincere smile, "You don't understand. In the beginning, human beings are inherently good."
"Pooh!"
Xiao Cai spat in the face of his eldest grandson in his heart.
The prisoner looked at his eldest grandson with interest and said, "Haha, I'm willing to help you, but it's not out of kindness. It's just that time in this dungeon is tough, so I want to have some fun."
No matter what the reason is, as long as you are willing to take action.
The eldest grandson secretly rejoiced in his heart.
"I can help you enter their dreams. But I want to remind you that if you cannot wake them up after entering the dream, you will also perish with them."
After speaking, the prisoner stopped talking, leaving Changsun time to hesitate.
The eldest grandson fell into silence upon hearing this.
It's not that the eldest grandson will shrink back when he hears the risks, but he can't let his passion go to his head. The first thing to do in this situation is rational analysis.
Being able to make Dean Wu and Dean Yun, two masters of the mortal realm, fall into a dream that they couldn't extricate themselves from. Changsun would not unrealistically think that he could easily break it.
So Changsun wanted to have a deeper understanding of what this dream was about.
"Senior, what kind of dream is this? Even two mortal realm warriors are trapped in it. Could it be that there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere in the dream? Will my soul fly away as soon as I enter it? Or is it the kind of dream that makes people linger and forget to leave? Is there a dream that I don’t want to wake up from? Although I consider myself a strong-willed person, I am afraid that this sugar-coated bullet is too sweet and is beyond my ability to bear..."
Changsun muttered.
Upon hearing this, the prisoner glanced at his eldest grandson with interest.
"Sweet dreams? Seeing as you are still a baby, wouldn't it be nice to go in and experience the sweet dreams of a spring night?"
The prisoner's inappropriate words made Changsun a little embarrassed, and he tried desperately to deny the fact that he had such obscene thoughts just now.
After teasing the eldest grandson, the prisoner said seriously: "How could such a dream trap two mortals?"
"A person who can become a strong person in the mortal realm must also have a firm will. If you are the one who created the dream, how do you think you can design it so that such a strong-willed person can believe it?"
Changsun habitually rubbed his ragged beard on his chin and muttered: "It must be real enough."
"It's true, but you have to understand how difficult it is to construct a real dream. With the insight of mortal realm warriors, any illogical details can be captured and amplified by them."
"Then trap them in an incident that really happened!" Changsun thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he stared at the prisoners and said.
The prisoner nodded, and the eldest grandson also caught a flash of inspiration and continued: "Moreover, it is best to have inextricable connections with them, so that they will not doubt the irrationality of his appearance in the incident. , in this case...it would be best if it was an experience they had before!"
Changsun stood from the perspective of a dreamer and analyzed the most perfect solution.
Dream murder methods.
As soon as the words came out, Changsun felt a chill, which reminded him of a movie he had watched in his previous life.
The feeling of horror that was real and fake, fake and real, and unable to distinguish between a dream and reality, lingered in his mind for a long time after watching the movie.
The prisoner seemed to be very satisfied with Changsun's understanding and said, "Yes, this is the most perfect dream trapped person, or dream murderer!"
"Then... what should I do?" Changsun analyzed the layout, but could not think of a way to break the situation.
"If it's just a past experience, it's not enough to trap the two of them."
The prisoner seemed to be interested in guiding the eldest grandson to continue to think independently.
After hearing this, the eldest grandson pondered for a moment and nodded.
If it is just an experience that has already happened, repeated experiences will make the two people have a particularly deep impression of the experience. In this way, the two people who have experienced several dream reincarnations will inevitably think of the deja vu of this experience, and then they will It will be time to wake up from the dream.
The prisoner saw that Changsun had not thought of the key, so he continued to guide: "But if you remove a certain link in the dream, this link can be a very subtle but important link. It can be a person or an object..."
"Remove a certain link..."
Changsun repeated it, and then his brain unconsciously began to think in this direction.
"After a certain link is removed, this experience will develop in a new direction, just like the butterfly effect in the previous life. You can turn the gears of destiny at will, but your destiny will develop in a very different direction!"
Listening to Changsun's analysis, the prisoner nodded affirmatively and said, "In this way, the two of them will never be able to solve this dream."
Changsun was sweating coldly. The organizer had played an insidious and advanced move, trapping two mortal realm masters to death without a sound. What kind of method and strategy was this.
The eldest grandson came back to his senses and humbly asked for advice: "May I ask senior how to crack it?"
The prisoner did not reply, but looked up at Changsun. Changsun understood that this meant asking him to try to think for himself.
So Changsun began to try to find a solution on his own.
"Since senior can understand all this and has a way to enter the dream of the two of them, he must also be able to rescue the two of them?" Changsun tried to ask.
The prisoner shook his head and said, "I can't do it. He and I have nothing to do with each other. Intruding into their dreams will cause them to be mentally unstable, and even risk their dreams being shattered and their souls being disillusioned."
With the previous analysis, Changsun could immediately understand the reason for the prisoner's reply. The prisoner and the dean had never been face-to-face, and their sudden appearance in their dreams would immediately make them question the authenticity of the dream. .
If such an unexpected factor had appeared when the two of them first fell into the dream, perhaps the two of them would have been able to wake up from the dream through this trace of irrationality.
But at this time, the two of them have already experienced countless reincarnations in dreams. The sudden appearance of such unexpected factors is likely to cause the two of them to fall into the kind of self-doubt that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, as the grandson experienced in his previous life.
At that time, if they are not careful, the two of them will be in danger.
Changsun was a little confused and said, "Then how can we break this deadlock?"
"Actually, there is nothing we can do."
"any solution?!"
The eldest grandson regains hope.
"Just find someone who has interacted with them to enter their dream, so that the familiarity deep in their souls will make them ignore the rationality of the person who suddenly appears in their dream. Then this person will complete the dream of the two. The missing link leads the two of them out of the dream!"
The eldest grandson nodded when he heard this. According to their previous analysis, this was indeed a safe solution.
After thinking about this, when Changsun raised his head again, there was only calmness in his eyes.
The person the prisoner mentioned as having an intersection could only be himself.
"Come on, senior, please take me to sleep!"
