Chapter 264 Black Dragon
In the dream world, somewhere in the woods.
Greg was caught off guard by the sudden attack. Facing Jed who was absorbing Thomas' spiritual energy, he glared ahead with his teeth clenched.
In dream hunting, the spiritual energy hunted by the mimicry of the dream world will not be transmitted back to the body immediately, but will be stored in the mimicry. After the mimicry returns to the dream cocoon, the hunted spiritual energy will truly accumulate in the human body. In this process, if the mimicry is killed and destroyed, the spiritual energy collected this time will overflow, and other mimicry capable of dream hunting will be able to absorb it.
This is exactly what Jed was doing at the moment. Facing Jed who was absorbing Thomas' spirituality, Greg shouted loudly and seriously.
"Are you crazy, Jed? You attacked your companions!"
"Companions? No, no, no... Don't get me wrong. I never considered you as companions. You are all prey. In this hunting ground called the woodland, the relationship between everyone is only that between hunter and prey.
With a contemptuous tone, Jed looked at Greg and spoke slowly. His expression was indifferent, as if everything he had just done was natural. Seeing Jed's reaction, Greg was quite angry and spoke again.
"You are also a member of the Security Bureau! Aren't you afraid that we will report you if you do this?"
Greg said that in the dream world, the death of the simulated body would not lead to the death of the body as well, but the mental trauma would cause the body to lie in bed for a month. In other words, even if Jed killed his and Thomas' simulated bodies here, Greg could still report him after waking up.
Greg questioned Jed in this way, hoping to intimidate him and stop him from doing anything rash, but who would have thought that Jed would just chuckle in response.
"Report? What do you have to report? Report Jed from the Northern Irde Police Department? Do you think I am really Jed? Or does Jed really exist? Or am I really someone in the Security Bureau?
"Even if you want to report it, you have to remember what happened at the scene. The destruction of the mimicry is mental damage, but it can easily cause short-term amnesia. Whether you can remember what happened here after you wake up is another matter."
Jed's series of questions made Gregor's heart chill for a moment. He suddenly realized that the other party's claim that he was Jed from Northern Ild was completely one-sided. In this woodland where everyone appeared in a similar camouflage, he had no way of knowing the other party's real appearance. If the other party reported a false identity, he would have no way of checking.
"Aren't you afraid that we will call Mr. Freddy?"
"You can try calling out and see if Flandy and the others can hear you. I have already taken you far enough away from the main force and walked a long distance along the restricted area in the east. I can guarantee that no one in the bureau nearby can hear your call."
Jed continued to speak proudly. After hearing what the other party said, Gregor felt even heavier in his heart. He knew that this time he was cheated because of his lack of experience in the dream world.
Deterrence failed, and now fighting is inevitable. However, it is almost impossible for Gregor to defeat the opponent with his injuries, and he cannot even run away from the opponent.
Finally, after absorbing Thomas' spiritual energy, Jed stood up and faced Greg's full-strength attack in front of him. Facing Jed's head-on attack, Greg quickly dodged and dodged Jed's first surprise attack with his injured body with great difficulty.
Gregor's dodging also allowed the little fox, which had been struggling under his claws, to finally regain its freedom.
"You black dogs are slowly fighting among yourselves, I'm the first to go!!"
Just as the little fox was about to get up and run away, Jed didn't want to let her go. He slapped the little fox with his claw before she fully stood up. The little fox was unable to dodge and was scratched on the left thigh by Jed's attack. She screamed in pain and rolled several times away.
Although no one knows where the fox mimic came from, now that it has appeared in front of Jade, it will not be let go so easily. What if she also has spirituality at this moment?
Without stopping, Jed's follow-up attacks followed one after another. He grabbed the little fox lying not far away and pounced again, but when another black shadow flashed by, the little fox disappeared in an instant. Jed looked carefully and saw that it was Greg who caught the little fox.
Gregor, who had picked up the little fox, shook his head and threw the little fox onto his back, then ran deeper into the woods. The little fox on his back couldn't help but say in surprise when he saw this.
"Black Dog, do you still have the heart to save me?"
"This is a matter of our Security Bureau. I was the one who accidentally dragged you into this. I will not leave you alone." Gregor said to the little fox with injured legs on his back. If he had not caught the little fox, the other party would not have been dragged into this. Gregor therefore felt that he had an obligation to save the other party.
In this way, Greg, disguised as a black dog, carried the little fox all the way into the depths of the woods, while Jed followed closely behind, chasing the figure in front.
Since Gregor was ambushed at the beginning, he was injured and his movements and physical strength were affected. He couldn't hold on for long under Jed's pursuit.
"Hey, hey... Black Dog from the Security Bureau, it seems like you can't outrun your colleagues."
Holding on to Greg's back, the little fox spoke while looking at Jed who was chasing closely behind him, while Greg responded while running.
"I'm trying to run back to where we are now... I'll call out to my companions after running for a distance. As long as they can hear me and come to reinforce us, we'll be safe."
"Run back...you mean run to the hunting ground? Don't be silly! You will never make it there!" The little fox said anxiously. She was indeed more familiar with the environment of the dream world than Gregor.
"Listen to me, Black Dog! It's definitely too late for you to run to the hunting ground now. Turn left and run to the east. If you run that way, we still have a chance!" The little fox continued to say on Gregor's back. Listening to the little fox's words, Gregor was confused.
"Continue to the east? Our leader said that's a restricted area!"
"Don't worry about restricted areas or forbidden areas. If you don't want to lose the spirituality you have worked so hard to collect, listen to me now. I am a hundred times more familiar with this place than you are, Black Dog!"
The little fox said in a tough tone. Gregor paused in his heart after hearing her words. After thinking for a while, he finally decided to listen to the little fox and turned to the east and ran away. Jed behind him paused slightly and then continued to speed up and catch up.
Just like that, in the quiet woodland, the chase between the two black dogs began. They rushed all the way towards the east, which was the direction where countless animals were driven. Due to Greg's injuries, the gap between them was constantly narrowing.
Lying on Gregor's back, the little fox looked at Jade approaching from behind, with a grim smile on her face and a serious look on her face. She looked at Gregor and shouted again.
"Now, Black Dog, call out, call out loudly! Try to make your voice heard as far as possible!"
After hearing the little fox's words, Gregor paused slightly, then he shouted loudly while running.
“Ouch!!!”
Gregor's voice spread widely throughout the surrounding woods. The Black Dog Mimicry of the Security Bureau has a feature that the call can be transmitted very widely, which is very conducive to collective action in the woods. All hunters in Black Dog Mimicry can understand the call and can provide support immediately after being called.
Jed, who was running behind, heard Greg's call and couldn't help but snorted in his heart, thinking with disdain in his heart.
"Want to call others? Humph... No one will come to this restricted area. They can't hear your voice in this place. Even if they hear it, it's too late."
