The Nightmare Beast was dizzy and on the verge of tears when they touched it. The two of them vanished the moment they touched it.

"Where did it go? I clearly saw it fall to the ground. Are we hallucinating?"

"Have we encountered a monster?"

Several people stood there in astonishment, discussing the matter.

Sisi covered her mouth and chuckled. She knew it; it was the one that created this dream, so how could it not have a way to stop it!

Only after they left did the Nightmare Beast breathe a sigh of relief, "You almost got me into serious trouble, speechless!"

"Who gave you the ability to not tell?"

Sisi snorted twice, "Since you can use magic, why can't I? Did you do something to it?"

"I didn't, it was just temporary invisibility, not magic." It shook its head like a rattle-drum.

Sisi pouted unhappily, "Anyway, I don't care. If I die here with Xiaosi, I will definitely kill you first and turn you into a beautiful cloak."

The Nightmare Beast shuddered violently and chuckled awkwardly, "No...no way, hehe."

"Follow them first."

Baldy was in a terrible mood because he hadn't caught the deer. During his rest, he took his anger out on the slaves with his whip, striking them mercilessly. Before long, some slaves were beaten to death.

Xie Yan looked on, his expression indifferent.

This angered the bald man, who lashed out at him, striking him hard until he bled profusely, but he remained silent.

Why does Wu Guoguo appear in my junior brother's dream? They look so alike, could Xiao Si be Wu Guoguo?

But now Wu Guoguo's body still clearly has demonic energy. He can fight back, so why doesn't he?

Sisi turned her head away, unable to bear watching. "If this is Junior Brother's dream, why doesn't he want to wake up after being whipped like this? Little Deer, are you lying to me?"

"This is the beginning of the dream. Only by figuring out what happened to him can you wake him up."

The Nightmare Beast snarled, "He's clearly a Demon King, are you sure he's your junior brother?"

Sisi shook her head. "This is my junior brother's dream. In the dream, only the Demon King and my junior brother look alike, so it must be him."

Nightmare Beast: "..."

After hitting someone, the bald man's anger subsided, and he continued on his way in the carriage. The scene then shifts to a village on a mountain, where villagers are lining up to walk up the mountain.

Xie Yan lagged behind; his leg had become lame at some point, and he walked very slowly with a limp.

"Are there really Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain? If so, we'll make a lot of money and become rich."

"Of course there are. City people have come up this mountain several times. Would they come here if there were something good? And the pharmacies in the city all say that the Ganoderma lucidum was picked from here."

The crowd became excited, while some expressed their worries.

"There are black bears in the mountains, it's very dangerous."

"You might not meet him, so don't overthink it..."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a violent roar suddenly came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a black bear that was over two meters tall with a flat belly. It had come out to hunt for food.

"ah--!"

Everyone screamed and ran away. The woman walking in front of Xie Yan suddenly fell to the ground. She pushed her daughter, "Yinyin, run!"

The child didn't understand at all and cried loudly beside her. Xie Yan limped and picked her up. A black bear approached from behind, and the woman subconsciously closed her eyes. The tearing sound she had imagined did not come.

The black bear glanced at Xie Yan and then went after the others.

The woman's pupils widened in shock. Without thinking, she shouted, "Everyone, run behind Xie Yan! That black bear isn't attacking Xie Yan, hurry—!"

Everyone tried to hide behind Xie Yan, but how could his small body block so many people?

The black bear killed a person, ate its fill, and then left.

The crowd wailed and cried. Someone glared at Xie Yan with resentment, "That black bear was clearly afraid of him, so why didn't he stop it? He just wanted to kill us."

"Yes, maybe he called that black bear to get revenge on us. He's holding a grudge against us for bullying him."

"The village chief broke his leg, the black bear ate the village chief, and several others who bullied him were also eaten. He's a jinx, a jinx that no one knows where he came from."

"A jinx, a jinx!"

Sisi grew angrier the more she looked. "They're talking nonsense! Wuguoguo won't retaliate against them, those bastards!"

The Nightmare Beast didn't speak, and the scene changed again.

This time, Xie Yan was tied to a wooden stake, and the villagers threw torches at him, causing fierce flames to erupt.

Sisi couldn't stand it anymore and got up to rush over, saying, "I'm going to save Wuguoguo."

But the scene changed the moment she passed by.

This time it happened in a city, shrouded in smoke, where a huge fire had broken out, burning mountains of corpses. The people watched, their faces filled with anger.

"Where is he? Haven't they found him yet?"

A man stood on the high platform; judging from his attire, he was probably the city lord. He held a torch in his hand and shouted once more, "Have you found that person?"

Sisi saw someone dig out Xie Yan from a group of corpses. He was thrown heavily to the ground. When the city lord saw him, he rushed down angrily and kicked him.

"It's all because of you! You were the one who coughed first, and you brought the plague here. You've ruined us!"

Xie Yan lay on the ground, seemingly used to being treated this way.

"Burn him! He must still have the plague in his body!"

Burn him!

The people shouted, and the city lord gripped the torch tightly, "Xie Yan, I shouldn't have brought you back in the first place. I shouldn't have saved you. I should have let people be burned to death in Shimo Village."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head angrily and said, "Men, tie him to the straw bed."

That was a crematorium built specifically for him.

Xie Yan raised his head slightly. He was in great pain, but he seemed not to feel the pain at all. His face was expressionless, and he just looked at the city lord calmly.

"I didn't infect everyone."

The city lord did not believe him. He came from Stone Mill Village, where not long ago, the entire village had died overnight due to a plague.

He didn't believe it, so Xie Yan didn't explain further.

Sisi pursed her lips. If the plague was brought by Wu Guoguo, he would definitely die faster than the others. Why don't these people use their brains to think about it?

But soon, she understood.

Some people called him a monster, saying that his wounds would heal automatically after he was injured, and that humans could not heal their wounds, only monsters could. He was thus labeled a monster.

Sisi could see the demonic energy in Wu Guoguo's body. He thought that killing these people would be easy, but he didn't do it. Instead, he voluntarily lay down on the straw bed.

Many torches were thrown over, and a raging fire broke out.

Sisi couldn't wait any longer. She was about to say "Stop!" when the fire on the straw bed suddenly went out, and she could no longer see the unbelievable face.

How could that be?
