Chapter 570: Weird Deep Dream

Chapter 570: Weird Deep Dream

"So, where exactly have I ended up now?"

On the other side, Avis, who was being watched by many people at the moment, looked at the chaotic edge of the forest in front of him, feeling a little confused.

He had figured out his current environment, which was undoubtedly a certain area in the deep dream world. But only fate knew which level he had reached.

The forest he is currently in is not a real forest, but a dream, a dream of an unknown existence.

This dream is very small, and the entire dream area is only the scope of this forest. As long as you raise your legs and step into the chaotic area in front of you, you can leave here and enter another dream.

But Avis stopped, and he needed a little help figuring out what to do next.

The deep dream is an extremely dangerous area. Even a ninth-level strongman dare not enter it recklessly, otherwise he will be lost here forever and then assimilated by the deep dream and become a part of it.

Because no one knows what the next new dream will be.

If one is unlucky and breaks into the dreams of those indescribable ancient beings, then even the ninth level limit will be in danger of complete destruction.

According to the explorations of countless spellcasters from the dream school, the deeper the dream, the greater the probability of the appearance of those horrific beings.

Avis was not sure where he was, and he did not dare to move anything here. At least for now, the environment of this dream was safe, and the owner of the dream did not seem to be here, and he did not know whether he had died or something.

But he couldn't wait too long. After all, this was an unknown deep dream. The longer he stayed, the greater the chance of something going wrong.

Although he possessed combat power very close to that of the ninth level, Avis was well aware that not mastering the power of rules was the biggest gap between him and the true ninth level.

If you want to escape from the deep dream world, you must first confirm how deep you are trapped. But if you want to confirm your own coordinates, you need to travel between dreams.

Gazing at the darkness in front of him, Avis carefully took out a shallow basin filled with moonlight mercury and placed it in front of him, then took out a special destiny coin that he had refined after reaching the eighth level.

The coin of destiny made of ordinary material could no longer bear the weight of the prophecy he was now making with all his strength.

'I want to know the safety of the road ahead. If it is safe... no, if the danger ahead is within my tolerance, then the front side is facing up, otherwise, the back side is facing up.'

After reciting it silently in his mind, Avis flicked the coin lightly, and the coin wrapped in the power of fate feedback drew an arc in the air and landed accurately in the center of the shallow basin.

What is strange is that the coin that fell on the surface of the moonlight mercury did not sink. Instead, it began to spin rapidly on the surface of the mercury as if it had fallen on some solid object.

Each turn, Avis's Fate Feedback decreases by one unit.

After just less than half a minute of rotation, the fate feedback power accumulated by Avis was directly reduced by hundreds of units.

This rate of consumption made Avis' eyelids twitch, but now was the critical moment to save his life. All the resources he had accumulated in the past were prepared for this moment.

Finally, the coin of fate seemed to have lost the power to continue spinning and fell down.

Back side facing up.

Avis frowned, took out his pocket watch and took a look.

The carved mithril hands pointed precisely to 2:15, but strangely, the hands on the dial were rotating in the opposite direction at this moment.

Avis was not confused by this. Unlike the surface dream world, which was more influenced by the main material world, the existence of the deep dream world was closer to a real dream, and any absurd and incredible things could happen.

His pocket watch was also affected by the dream, but the hands moved at a constant speed rather than randomly, suggesting that some part of the dream was related to time.

Glancing at the huge purple moon and pale blue guiding star in the sky that seemed to be eternal, Avis sat on the ground calmly, waiting for time to pass.

The structure of the deep dream world is constantly changing. If you go out now, you will encounter danger. If you go out again after a magic hour, you may enter another safe dream world.

When the pointer on the dial went back one magic hour again, he opened the prophecy again, but except for consuming hundreds more units of fate feedback, the result was exactly the same as the first time.

Avis frowned, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. There seemed to be some unknown danger in this forest. Although it had not appeared yet, the longer he waited, the greater the variables would be.

After thinking about it, Avis decided to shorten the prophecy interval again. After half a magic hour, he started another prophecy.

But the result was still the same, the coin turned back up and even had a tiny crack.

At this moment, the fireflies in the surrounding woods began to disappear one by one, and the refreshing night breeze blowing through the woods gradually died down. The entire forest seemed to be turning into a strange state of silence.

The huge purple moon hanging alone in the night sky seemed to become brighter, but the bright purple moonlight shining on the woodland in the dream made the shadows of the trees more distorted and darker.

Silently watching the changes in the environment, Avis looked at his pocket watch again.

The pointer was still moving slowly counterclockwise, gradually approaching zero.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

So, is the danger here related to the time in the dream?

Although he was a little nervous, Avis did not rush to decide to proceed to the next prophecy.

The interval between predictions is not simply the shorter the better, because the changes in the dream world also take time. Before the changes are completed, whether the prediction is made once or twice, the result is the same.

According to the research of the dream school magicians, the average time it takes for the deep dream world to complete a complete cycle of change is about one magic hour.

Another half magic hour passed, and when there were only fifteen minutes left until midnight, Avis started the third divination.

If the coin still comes up with tails this time, he will continue to wait until the coin comes up with heads. Rather than going directly to another dream where there is definitely great danger, Anvis would rather try to resist the unknown dangers in this forest.

But this time, it seemed that fate finally favored Avis. After the platinum coin lost its rotation momentum, it finally turned positive.

very good!

After taking a deep look at the trees around him that looked increasingly strange under the magical purple moonlight, Avis put away his prophecy tool and prepared to step into the edge of the dreamland.

But at this moment, the dramatic change in the woods finally happened.

Pitch-black cracks suddenly appeared on the dark bark, and blood-red sap flowed down, like countless empty eye sockets staring at Avis.

Along with this scene, above the dark and twisted tree shadows on the ground, corresponding to the locations of the cracks, countless blood-red eyes suddenly opened and looked at Avis' figure! "!?"

At this moment, Avis's mind was shaken violently, and countless evil and resentful souls washed over his spiritual sea, as if they wanted to keep him in this forest forever.

As these eyes were fixed on him, faint wounds suddenly began to appear on Avis's body surface, and the color of his shadow quickly turned dark, as if he was about to open his bloody eyes.

If this eye were to open, it would be hard to say what effect it would have on his body.
