When he opened his eyes again, he could no longer see the books in the room. Maria and the gatekeeper had also disappeared. Li Yi knew that he had entered the dream realm of Nashyopnos.
Tick tock…
Tick tock…
Tick tock…
Alas......
What caught his eyes was darkness. Although Li Yi tried his best to open his eyes wide and tried to touch the light, unfortunately he found nothing.
Of course, this is not a problem for him. He can even buy a bottle of mouthwash. How could he miss the lighting tool? Besides, it wasn't just once or twice that he encountered this kind of pure darkness.
However.
This time, he obviously underestimated the so-called realm of God.
After several attempts, except for a pile of unusable flashlights, lighters, and emergency lights on the ground, Li Yi's eyes were still in darkness.
For the first time, without any enemies, Li Yi felt a little uneasy and a little afraid just because of the environment.
Darkness, for humans, represents the unknown, and most of human fears come from the unknown.
At this moment, Li Yi deeply understood the meaning of this old-era literati's saying.
After thinking about it, Li Yi drew out his usual silver sword, not to fight anyone, but to use it as a tool to explore the path. At this time, like a blind man, he held the long sword in his hand, exploring on the left and exploring on the right. .
Perhaps due to the complete darkness of his field of vision, his hearing had become more sensitive than ever at this moment. He could immediately hear the slightest movement in the air and determine the direction of the sound.
He could tell that the ticking sound was the sound of water droplets falling to the ground, and the whistling sound was the sound of wind blowing through buildings or plants. These could all indicate that the current environment he was in was at least a normal one. space.
The next moment, he heard a sound close at hand, which made him sure of this, and at the same time, made him start to have strong doubts.
Am I really invisible? Or......
thump!
Gudong!
A sound that was obviously a fish jumping out of the water and diving back was clearly audible.
If there are fish, there are living things. If there is water, living things, and plants, there must be a space with sunlight. Then the problem arises.
Why am I the only one who can't see anything?
As soon as this idea came up, it was out of control.
The next moment, the system that had just called countless times without getting a response suddenly responded. This reaction also refreshed Li Yi, who had been unable to figure things out.
[Activate random copy: Dream of Death Level: S Difficulty coefficient: A+ Death coefficient: 5 stars]
[Note: Since the host opens a random dungeon for the first time, there are no mandatory tasks. The exploration degree will be used as the criterion for the completion of the dungeon. The dungeon reward will be determined by the completion of the exploration degree and is directly related to the difficulty coefficient and level of the dungeon. hook up】
This prompt made Li Yi stunned for a while, and his brows that had just relaxed were knitted together again.
Useless! Although there are prompts, his situation has not changed at all. There is no mission, which means that the system will not give any prompts to solve the current predicament, and judging from the difficulty of the copy, it has never been S And an A+ rating, although it has never been rated before, but just this copy of Death's Dream...
Wait a minute! Not the God of Sleep? Why did you become a god of death?
Li Yi suddenly realized that the name of the copy was different from what the gatekeeper said.
grim Reaper? Hypnos? Danatus? Hypnos?
He does know that in ancient Greek mythology, the God of Death and the God of Sleep are two brothers, both sons of the goddess of the night. It is said that the God of Death has a cold and ruthless personality, while the God of Sleep is much gentler. He doesn't know much about the others.
Could it have something to do with this relationship? Where on earth did the janitor send me? Also, why was a random copy activated when a ritual was sent in! What is the principle of this? Does this mean that the system itself has something to do with the rituals performed by the gatekeepers? Just omit the process of copying patterns and chanting mantras?
There were a lot of questions in his mind, but not only were they not explained, but they were getting more and more numerous. Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little upset. He raised his leg and kicked it in the air, but he felt a heavy object hit his foot without any bias. As he kicked his feet, he flew out.
thump.
Falling into the water with a sound.
Is there a pool in front of me? It sounds quite shallow, but it's a pity that I can't see it.
Wait a minute! Li Yi suddenly thought of something, and then squatted down and groped on the ground. After a while, he grabbed a handful of pebbles in his hand, picked them up one by one, and ejected them straight in different directions.
Boo hoo hoo.
Countless pebbles were fired in all directions with Li Yi as the center, but no response was ever heard. Li Yi did not lose heart and continued to shoot out the pebbles one by one.
finally!
Bang! After hearing the sound, Li Yi became energetic. He briefly recalled the direction of the ejection. He walked carefully and followed the direction of the sound. During the process, he bent down from time to time to replenish the stones in his hand. Numbers, until things get closer and closer, making noise.
As the rebounding sound got closer and closer, until he finally touched the thing that made the sound with his hand, Li Yi let out a long breath, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
Don't think it's an exaggeration. It's like the feeling of a suddenly blind person, desperately trying to reach something with his hands. There is nothing more than a sense of security.
Just when he was about to try to touch it with his hand to determine what it was, the system beep sounded again.
[Detected divine domain material, exploration degree +1]
As the beep sounded, Li Yi felt the existence of a light source from the endless darkness. This discovery made him extremely happy.
Although he didn't know what the divine material meant, the exploration speed +1 and the faint light source immediately made him determine what to do next:
Listen to the voice and argue, looking for the material from the divine domain!
So, he grabbed a handful of stones and started repetitive and boring actions.
Shoot the pebbles and listen for the sound.
Boo hoo hoo.
Snapped!
Susu...
Susu...
With a series of movements, and with the blessing of a little light-sensing ability, Li Yi quickly found something that seemed to be a divine substance. At this time, he was no longer as cautious as a blind man, but strode towards the direction of the sound. move.
[Detected divine domain material, exploration degree +1]
It got a little brighter, and I was able to vaguely look at the surrounding environment. Although it was still gray, and although I could only see the environment less than five meters away, it was still a happy thing.
At the same time, it also gave Li Yi a new understanding of the so-called random copies.
Does this mean that whenever you encounter a random copy in the future, the first thing to do is to increase the exploration degree? Otherwise, you can’t even see the road?
After unremitting efforts, Li Yi finally increased the exploration level to thirty, and the space called Death's Dreamland was displayed in front of him in a clearer scene for the first time.
There was still a gray and unclear scene in the distance, and there were very few things in the scene that he could see. Except for what he touched at first, which looked like a building, it was actually just a huge boulder. The only thing worth noting that highlights the scene of "Death" is where Li Yizheng stares intently:
cemetery!
At this time, in front of where Li Yi stood was a gurgling river. On the other side of the river, there were pure white cemeteries that could not be seen and were densely distributed on the hills.
He searched the river, the cemetery, and his mind for information about this ancient Greek god, but was surprised to find that no useful information could be found.
The database that originally existed in my mind seemed to have been sealed and could not be opened at all!
I tried to move towards the cemetery, but found that my way was blocked by an invisible wall of air. No matter how hard I hit it, it felt like hitting cotton, without rebounding or breaking at all, just like the map in the game. Borders are average.
This discovery immediately made Li Yi understand that the dungeon in front of him was indeed different from the dungeons he had experienced before.
Block?
Li Yi curled his lips and said, "If you don't need it, don't use it. Anyway, the worst situation is over. Is there anything worse than being kept in the dark?"
Also, since it’s an exploration and the name of the dungeon is Death’s Dream, it doesn’t make sense if you don’t go in and take a look when you encounter a cemetery, right? Anyway, the exploration level has not increased. The only thing I have not touched before, except this cemetery, is the river...
Thinking of this, and in line with the principle of not letting go if he misses something, Li Yi squatted down and stretched out his hand to explore the only lively river in this space---after all, the river is moving, unlike the cemetery, which is lifeless.
It was bone-chilling cold at first, and there was no other feeling besides that. Even the system did not pop up any prompts, which made Li Yi a little disappointed.
He waved his hand and was about to stand up and head to the cemetery when a sudden crisis suddenly made him feel horrified, so he bent over and lay on the ground.
suddenly......
Something passed directly over his head and sprinkled some water. It was a creature in the water!
Li Yi immediately judged the direction of the danger and looked back, feeling goosebumps all over his body.
Strictly speaking, the creature that jumped at him from the water just now should not belong to any creature he had ever seen.
In other words, he couldn't tell which category the creature belonged to. Fortunately, the system gave prompt prompts, or because the water splashed by the creature fell on his face, the prompts this time were very detailed.
[Dream creature, name: Nightmare Aquatic Beast. The origin of this creature cannot be verified. Due to its rarity and extremely harsh living conditions, it is difficult to find it even in the legendary underworld. It loves water and is an aquatic creature. The head It looks like a human face, but there are canines behind the ears, long fins on the top of the head, and the surface of the body is like fish scales, which is indestructible and difficult for gold and iron to penetrate. In addition to the fish tail, the tail also has slender limbs. Therefore, the species cannot be determined, and it is suspected to be someone. test species. Combat evaluation grade: B+]
[Instructions: Defeat the nightmare aquatic beast and leave a suitable sample, the exploration degree will be +30! 】
After reading the explanation, Li Yi also understood.
This should be his first battle after entering the Death Dream!
