Breathing slowly became extremely rapid.
The force field aura in Xue Yun's body surged, as if he had experienced a thrilling battle that could not subside for a long time.
Although he knew clearly that everything that had just happened was an illusion projected from the world of spiritual consciousness.
The shock and oppression it can bring are not much weaker than those in reality.
He looked up at the old paintings on the wall.
Xue Yun frowned slightly, and immediately became alert. This painting was obviously the culprit that dragged him into the illusion, and it was very weird.
Dong dong dong~~~
A sudden knock on the door sounded outside the room.
"Who?!" Xue Yun asked in a deep voice.
"it's me......"
Zhong Limei's voice came from outside the door.
With a long breath, Xue Yun tried his best to adjust his mood, turned over, jumped off the bed, and reached out to open the door to the room.
In front of the corridor.
The girl in the fancy dress had a puzzled face, not knowing what she did wrong that made Xue Yun react so violently.
"Didn't I tell you to go back and revive yourself..."
Still thinking about the experience in the dream just now, Xue Yun said impatiently: "Why did you come back again?"
Startled slightly.
Zhong Limei looked stunned and smiled bitterly: "Duke Protector, don't worry, it's been several hours, and it's almost nightfall. How much wine have you drunk? Are you drunk?"
Xue Yun was shocked as his eyes widened.
He quickly turned around and looked at the clock on the wall, then opened the closed curtains and was stunned.
Just as Zhongli Mei said, it is already dusk now.
in other words.
Xue Yun stayed in the dream for more than ten minutes, but several hours had passed in the real world outside.
"Are you okay?"
The girl in front of her frowned and said doubtfully, "I feel like your face doesn't look good."
"No, it's okay."
He quickly suppressed his astonished expression.
Xue Yun waved his hand calmly, not wanting the other party to know his experience.
After all, with Zhong Limei's current knowledge, it is simply impossible to understand these unbelievable things.
On the contrary, it will cause some unnecessary panic.
After thinking clearly about the relationship, Xue Yun quickly changed the topic and asked: "What do you want from me? Have you discovered the whereabouts of Da Iwan and the others?"
"Oh, I'm just an errand boy..."
Shaking his head, Zhong Limei hurriedly opened his invitation and said, "My father has hosted a banquet in the mansion. He said he wanted to invite you to the banquet and discuss some important matters."
Spread your hands.
Zhongli Mei smiled bitterly and said, "As for whether I have found traces of your friend, I really don't know."
The investigation team of "Dog City" has been out for several hours, and they probably have some clear clues.
Even if it doesn't.
Under the current situation, Xue Yun had no better choice but to continue to coexist with Zhongli.
"Understood."
Close your eyes.
Xue Yun turned around, took off his coat, and walked towards the bathroom in the room.
"Wait for me for a moment, take a shower and change clothes, and I will accompany you to the banquet in a while."
He ignored the embarrassment of the girl behind him.
After a brief wash, Xue Yun took out a brand new set of casual clothes from the system space, paired with a cotton coat, which was quite suitable for walking in the extreme environment of the northern border.
Step out of the bathroom.
But Zhong Limei was sitting beside the bed, looking up at the strange oil painting on the wall in a daze.
"Who let you in-!"
A roar.
Xue Yun's voice carried the frightening aura of "the power of six paths", which spread instantly and directly caused the lamps in the room to explode.
Are you kidding...
This weird oil painting would even catch me, let alone the weak Zhongli Mei? !
"No, it's not..."
He quickly stood up from the bed.
Zhongli Mei looked at a loss and seemed not to be confused by this oil painting.
"I just think this painting looks familiar. Do you need to be so cruel to me?!"
As soon as these words came out.
Xue Yun immediately became interested and quickly asked: "Have you really seen this painting before?"
“Isn’t it the ‘Snow Mountain Giant’ that is making such a fuss?!”
Turn away.
Zhong Limei looked at the painting on the wall again, pouted and said: "Anyone who was born in the northern border, there is no one who hasn't heard the legend about it when they were young."
"'Snow Mountain Giant Spirit'..."
Also look at the oil painting on the wall.
Xue Yun recited the name silently, recalling the huge giant he had just met in his dream, and couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment.
"Can you tell me a story about it?" Xue Yun suddenly asked.
Hear the words.
Zhong Limei was stunned on the spot. Apart from being extremely confused, she didn't understand why Xue Yun suddenly became interested in this thing.
But in order not to offend this powerful Lord Protector, she had no choice but to be patient and temperamental, and obediently told this myth and legend that was very famous on the northern border.
According to legend, a long time ago, the heaven and earth first opened and everything changed.
At that time, the extreme northern border was far less cold than it is now. Not only was it like spring all year round, but the products were also extremely rich.
As for humans, they live together in tribes. The men are responsible for hunting and the women gather berries in the forest.
Everything seems orderly, man and nature are in perfect harmony, there are no bloodthirsty freaks, and there is no concept of a country.
Even if there is a dispute between tribes, the elders from both sides will come forward to intervene and mediate as necessary.
Until one day——
A baby boy was born to a tribe in the forest.
It is said that he was born with supernatural powers and could lift rocks more than ten times his own weight at the age of three. By the age of ten, he could enter the forest and fight ferocious beasts with his bare hands.
People in the tribe call him Batu, which means the supreme god with divine power.
So it was logical.
After officially becoming an adult, Batu quickly became the leader of the tribe.
After taking office, he took the lead in making changes with power. First, he directly abolished the peace negotiation mechanism respected by the elders and formed a hunting team with a military nature.
Furthermore, as the population increases, the scarcity of resources becomes more obvious.
In order to seize land and living space, Batu led the tribe's people to continuously expand outwards by force.
that's all.
Originally a small tribe fought in the north and south under the command of Batu. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed, and those who dared to resist would also be ruthlessly suppressed.
But it took just a few years.
Batu unified most of the tribes across the northern border and became the most powerful uncrowned king in history.
Territory expansion and resource monopoly.
This also indirectly caused Batu's ambition to expand. Power corroded his soul and personality, making him cruel and ruthless. He also became increasingly cold-blooded and ruthless towards his enemies and ordinary people under his jurisdiction.
Until the year I turned thirty.
Batu, who was in his prime, finally encountered a great disaster in his life.
She is a beautiful woman from a hostile border tribe. Not only is her skin as white as snow, she is also as beautiful as a fairy.
