Am I... dreaming?
Qin Bai looked at his hands. The feeling just now was so real, but he really did get up from the bed.
He looked outside; it was just getting light.
But after examining the energy orbs in his own space, a smile crept onto his lips.
"It wasn't a dream after all. If I had been stuck there, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out. I wonder what the situation is for the others."
Inside Qin Bai's space, the light cluster of ice-type abilities shrank slightly, indicating that he had indeed used ice-type abilities once.
After getting up, he went outside immediately.
Some villagers had already started working and greeted Qin Bai when they saw him.
Qin Bai remained calm and greeted them briefly.
When he arrived at Zeng Qiangguo and Qi Zhenlong's side, the two seemed to have just woken up, but their complexions did not look very good.
"Brother Qin, you don't know, I had a nightmare last night, it almost scared me to death."
Qi Zhenlong saw Qin Bai coming over and immediately came over to say something.
"Nightmare? I've had nightmares too, and it's really unpleasant to think about them."
Zeng Qiangguo said, rubbing his head.
After they recounted the details of their nightmares, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Because they discovered that their stories were almost identical; basically, they both woke up suddenly to find that a villager wanted to kill them.
They used their skills to fight back and discovered that the villagers had turned into charred corpses after they died.
After they came out, they frantically searched for the other people. Their first choice was to look for Qin Bai, but Qin Bai was nowhere to be found.
They searched for the other people, but the other people were also nowhere to be found.
Just when they didn't know what to do, a group of charred corpses appeared and rushed up to them, and they started fighting with the charred corpses.
"Brother Qin, you don't know, I'm good at ranged attacks, but there were just too many charred corpses. I couldn't fight them anymore. They pinned me to the ground, and I felt like I wanted to die."
Qi Zhenlong said, tears streaming down his face.
Zeng Qiangguo was in a similar situation, except that his close combat skills were better than Qi Zhenlong's.
But ultimately, due to exhaustion, he was pinned down by the charred corpse.
It's normal for one person to dream, but if two people have similar dreams, there's clearly a problem.
"I had the same dream as you."
After Qin Bai said this, the two men's expressions turned serious. They knew this was definitely not a coincidence.
"Is there something wrong with this village?"
Zeng Qiangguo immediately said.
"It's not certain yet. Let's gather the others over later."
The two nodded, then went out to gather the others.
But soon, shocking news reached Qin Bai's ears.
Several people in the team died. They died in their own beds, seemingly asleep, but they couldn't be woken up no matter what they did.
After examination, it was determined that their hearts had stopped beating.
Seeing the five corpses on the ground, the entire group became somewhat restless.
After all, in a village, people dying inexplicably would make anyone uneasy.
"Everyone, be quiet. You all probably had this dream last night."
Qin Bai briefly described the dream, and everyone was immediately shocked, saying that they had indeed had such a dream.
One or two is one thing, but so many people having the same dream? Even a fool would know something's wrong.
"Mr. Qin, do you suspect that their deaths are related to this dream?"
Qin Bai nodded and then asked, "Has any of you communicated with the charred corpse in your dream?"
"What? Charred corpses can communicate?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise. After asking around, Qin Bai discovered that only he had interacted with the charred corpse; the others had not interacted at all.
This is interesting. Was his dream unusual, or did those charred corpses do it on purpose?
"Although I didn't talk to them much, I can roughly guess that those charred corpses seemed to have some kind of connection with the villagers."
"Have you ever thought about how strange it is that such a village has never encountered any charred corpses?"
Some people nodded, indicating that they had also thought about this issue, but they were too insignificant to voice their opinions.
"But they were definitely human, not charred corpses!"
"What if they are human during the day and charred corpses at night?"
Qin Bai's words left them speechless. Several people seemed to want to refute him, but they immediately thought of what had happened before.
If such a magical place as the arena has appeared, then isn't it perfectly normal for charred corpses to become human during the day?
"So, those villagers were all charred corpses? Should we leave here immediately?"
Wu Ming was somewhat worried, especially when he discovered that while people were dying on their side, the villagers were still going about their business, which was very abnormal.
"Whether they are charred corpses or not, we must all get out of here."
Qin Bai was well aware of his own limitations. If he continued to stay here, he would likely have to face the villagers, or perhaps their charred corpses.
They had originally planned to leave after dawn, but they simply didn't have anywhere else to stay last night.
"What should we do with these corpses? Should we cut off their heads?"
Zeng Qiangguo said.
If the corpses aren't cut off, they'll eventually turn into charred corpses.
"After you cut it down, bury it."
Qin Bai said.
In this seemingly normal environment, a group of people spent some time digging five pits and burying five headless corpses inside.
Some people had a hint of sadness on their faces, after all, they had developed some feelings for each other during this time.
As they were leaving, the village chief waved to them and called out, "Welcome to come again next time!"
Qin Bai didn't test the villagers, thinking there wouldn't be another chance to meet them.
But before nightfall, he was severely embarrassed.
because……
They reappeared in front of the village!
"This...isn't this the village we left this morning? How did we get back?"
Wu Ming was taken aback.
“That’s right, this is indeed the village we left behind, and those traces are from when we left them.”
Zeng Qiangguo pointed to some marks on the ground and said.
The others' expressions changed drastically, each of them feeling as if they had encountered a ghost.
After all, none of them had ever encountered anything so bizarre.
Not long after, the village chief came over; he was the middle-aged man they had encountered before.
Strangely, the village chief walked over and asked them as if he didn't recognize them at all, "Are you a tour group from a big city?"
Qin Bai frowned. He didn't know what was going on either. He had been following the map the whole way and there were no other forks in the road. How did he end up back here?
And the village chief's tone... it sounds like he doesn't know them at all.
