Lin Wuyue nodded seriously: "Okay!"

Just then, they came to another intersection.

Lu Ning glanced around and said, "Go left."

He stepped to the left.

Just then, a heartbeat was heard.

Lu Ning stopped in his tracks.

Anlocks and Lin Wuyue, standing behind, looked at Lu Ning with some confusion as he suddenly stopped.

Lin Wuyue asked, "Lu Ning, why aren't you leaving?"

Lu Ning glanced at the left corridor with some confusion, then said, "I suddenly feel like we should go forward."

Lin Wuyue and Anlocks were both taken aback.

Anlocks frowned and said, "Your feeling doesn't seem to have changed. What's going on?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "I don't know, it's just a feeling."

Lin Wuyue asked, somewhat confused, "Should we go forward or to the left?"

Just then, another heartbeat was heard.

Lu Ning frowned: "Now I think we should go to the right."

He had barely finished speaking when another heartbeat sounded: "Now I feel like I should move forward again."

Lin Wuyue: (O_o)??

Anlocks seemed to be thinking for a moment, then said, "Is it the sound of a heartbeat?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ning said, "Wait for the next heartbeat."

Anlocks nodded.

Soon, the next heartbeat came, and Lu Ning calmly said, "Now I think we should go to the right."

"Sure enough, the sound of a heartbeat can alter the surrounding fork in the road, distorting the correct path."

Anlocks frowned and said, "If that's the case, even my teleportation ability might not be able to find the right path. The things in the core area are quite powerful."

"So what do we do now?"

Lu Ning calmly said, "There's a pause in the heartbeat. We can go there once the correct path changes."

Anlocks nodded: "Do as Lu Ning says."

The next heartbeat came quickly, and Lu Ning calmly said, "Go forward."

After saying that, Lu Ning walked forward, and Anlocks and Lin Wuyue immediately followed.

Just after crossing the fork in the road, Lu Ning suddenly found his body unusually heavy, and walking became much more difficult than before.

Lin Wuyue and Anlocks clearly sensed something as well.

Lin Wuyue frowned and said, "The gravity here has changed, Master!"

Anlocks nodded: "Well, it's not a big problem."

Listening to their conversation, Lu Ning understood that the gravity in the dream dimension must have changed.

Lu Ning continued forward, but after walking only a few hundred meters, the space in front of him suddenly distorted, forming a small crack.

Anlocks walked over, a dreamlike quality appearing in his eyes.

He opened his arms to the crack in the dream, then brought them together towards the center.

The next moment, the crack seemed to merge and disappeared.

"Let's go."

The group continued on their way.

As Lu Ning got closer to the core, he noticed that the film images on the wall had become much dimmer.

Some of the film reels on the walls were stained with a silvery, sticky substance, and the images inside were completely empty.

Anlocks also witnessed this scene. He frowned and said, "The memories of those who sank into this area were devoured, and their spiritual bodies became nourishment."

"So, are these people in reality dead?"

Anlocks nodded: "Yes, some of them have become infected."

Lu Ning fell silent.

Along the way, a large number of rolls of film were collected, and almost no one survived.

Throughout the process, various strange problems occurred, such as spatial distortion, changes in gravity intensity and direction.

However, these problems were not significant for Lu Ning and his two companions, especially with Anlocks, a saint, present.

Although some problems were a bit troublesome, they were still able to solve them and move on.

After passing two more intersections, Lu Ning had just turned a corner when he suddenly felt a momentary daze and saw the wall twist, from which a huge, silver-white, intertwined worm burst out.

The worm opened its hideous mouthparts and swallowed Lu Ning's arm whole.

Just as the worm was about to turn its head and open to devour Lu Ning's head, a dreamlike color fell, the worm's body trembled, and it melted directly into silver slime.

Anlocks approached Lu Ning: "How are you? Are you alright?"

Lu Ning shook his head, and his arm immediately returned to normal.

Lin Wuyue had originally intended to ask about it, but the words caught in her throat.

Anlocks had heard Qinglan Saint mention Lu Ning's powerful immortality before, so he wasn't surprised.

He glanced at the slime that the worm had turned into and said, "This is a Nightmare Worm, a dream monster born from a nightmare that has been devoured. This worm is quite strong, probably close to the ninth rank. The monsters in the core area are probably even stronger."

Anlocks' expression was somewhat serious.

If even this dream worm has this strength, the monsters in the core area might even reach the Saint level.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; without the strength of a saint, it would be impossible to construct such a massive labyrinth.
