Chapter 27 Hunting
In the woods of the dream world, between the towering trees, Dorothy, disguised as a dragon, is flying, searching for secrets that may exist in the dream world.
"Don't give up~♬Turn into a dragon~♬League~♬Find friends~♬"
Humming a cheerful song, Dorothy flew in the woods where balls of light were scattered. She touched the various tiny balls of light floating in the woods and read the information in them. However, they contained all kinds of ordinary people's daily trivialities. After reading these meaningless fragments of information, Dorothy felt her mind was in a mess and she didn't even have the heart to hum a song for a while.
Especially in this era, the lives of countless lower-class people were extremely miserable. These fragmented pieces of information contained many dark thoughts, which made Dorothy feel uneasy. So he immediately stopped this aimless and hasty collection of information.
"Damn it... I'm running out of energy... but I haven't collected anything yet..."
Dorothy thought secretly in her heart, according to the description in "The Adventures of Dream Explorators", dream world mimicry requires mental power to maintain. The stronger the mental power, the longer the mimicry can be maintained, and the more time there will be to explore the dream world.
But Dorothy has not yet entered the extraordinary realm, and her mental strength is just that of an ordinary person. She cannot maintain the mimicry for long. Now it has been almost ten minutes since she entered the dream world, and she already feels that she has entered a trance. It is obvious that her mental strength is not enough.
"Ten minutes a night is not enough. I can't explore much distance... I really need to advance as soon as possible, right?"
Dorothy thought with some distress, but at this moment, she discovered that something seemed to be happening in the distance ahead.
…
Somewhere in the dream forest, the hunting pursuit is still going on. The hunting hyenas are chasing the white fox in front of them, and the distance between them is gradually narrowing.
"Give up, little guy in front, stop and hand over the secret instructions you are looking for, and then explain the origin of your mimicry spell. Maybe we can let you go. Otherwise, if we catch you and locate your dream cocoon, your fate will not be as simple as just losing the mimicry..."
A hyena opened its mouth and spoke loudly in common language, and in response, the white fox in front made a light voice.
"Shut up...robbers..."
"Hmph... pounce on her..." After hearing the white fox's words, the leading hyena snorted coldly, and then it and several of its companions suddenly accelerated towards the white fox in front. In order to avoid the pounce of a hyena, the white fox was tripped by a tree root and fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, many hyenas pounced on the fallen white fox.
However, at this moment, a long and distant chant suddenly came from the huge trees in the distance.
Low... ancient and silent... long... distant... this long chant seemed to come from the other side of time and space, echoing among the woods.
This unusual movement immediately attracted the attention of the hyenas and foxes in the hunting ground. They turned their heads to look in the direction of the long roar, and then saw a scene that they would never forget.
In the darkness between the trees, a pair of broad wings flapped out, and a tall figure that existed only in stories and legends came out from the darkness, its huge body rapidly pressing in their direction.
The hyenas were all stunned when they saw the figure that suddenly appeared. The leading one was stunned for a while before he spoke stammeringly.
"Dragon? Are you kidding me? A dragon? How could there be a dragon in this forest? "
Aren't dragons supposed to be extinct long ago, existing only in secret history? Are there still dragon forms among woodland creatures? I've never seen one before? I've never even heard of dragon mimicry!
Or was that just an illusion? An image created by the memories of ancient creatures preserved in the woods.
Yes! It must be like this!
The scene that went beyond common sense made the leading hyena stay where he was. He thought quickly in his mind, searching for all kinds of information from his common sense to explain the outrageous scene before him.
"Sir Everett, the dragon is flying towards us! What should we do?!" The hyena leader stood there, trying frantically to explain the situation, but the other hyenas around him couldn't sit still and asked anxiously.
Facing the questions from his men, the hyena called Everett calmed himself down, then looked at the huge shadow approaching from a distance and said calmly.
"Oh, everyone, stay calm. Don't panic. How could there be dragons in this world? Even in the dream world, there are none. This must be an image created by the memories of the ancient dragons left in the dream world. As everyone knows, the information left by powerful beings in the dream world can occasionally be imaged. They are not harmful..."
Then, Everett cleared his throat and spoke loudly to the other hyenas.
"Gentlemen! We are lucky tonight! Now we have encountered the phantom created by the memory fragments of the ancient dragons. It is now flying towards us. Pay attention and jump up to attack it. It will dissipate like other images and leave behind an information aggregate. This is a memory fragment of an ancient race. Who knows what powerful secrets are hidden in it. We are so lucky!"
Evert declared to the hyenas around him. After hearing what Evert said, the hyenas understood it all and nodded while saying yes.
"Ah...Is that so? As expected of Mr. Evert, you have a wide range of knowledge."
"I was wondering how there could be a dragon in this forest. It turns out it's also an image."
"A memory fragment of an ancient race? Even if I sell it, I can get a lot of money..."
…
The hyenas spoke at once, and Everett's inference was immediately recognized by them all. Obviously, they had never seen a dragon in the dream world before, so they were very willing to believe this theory.
Then, all the hyenas became excited when they saw the flying dragon. They all knew the value of the memory fragments of the ancient race.
"Gentlemen, it's coming, prepare to attack, and be careful not to rush to absorb the memory crystals. The ancient knowledge of poison identification is not something we can handle..."
At Everett's command, all the hyenas lowered their bodies towards the dragon-shaped "image" flying in the distance, and took an attacking posture, ready to leap into the sky to disperse it at any time. However, it happened that the dragon-shaped "image" was also lowering its altitude, and turned into a nearly ground-flying straight line towards them, getting closer and closer. Its huge body gave people a deeper and deeper sense of oppression in their hearts.
Finally, the gray-black dragon's body rushed in front of the hyenas, and the hyenas also began to act.
"attack!"
Following Everett's command, the hyenas leaped up one after another and pounced on the dragon flying low above them, attacking its rock-like scales with their fangs and claws.
Then... they were all broken apart...
The force brought by the flying dragon's huge body hit the hyenas, and the hyenas were directly knocked away in misery. Two of the four hyenas were hit into the tree and turned into tiny bubbles of light and dissipated, and fell on the grass.
Then the dragon flying close to the ground stretched out its sharp claws and landed on the ground, directly stepping on the hyena, which had not yet had time to stand up, and turned it into a ball of light foam.
Then the dragon's neck turned and stared at the last hyena that was fleeing in panic.
"It's not an image! It's not an image! What the hell! That thing isn't an image!? When did a dragon-like creature appear in the woods? And they said that thing is..."
Everest was running away and trying to breathe in panic, but in the next second, a long sharp thorn suddenly pierced through its tiny hyena body, and Everest's mimicry turned into a few bubbles of light in its frightened expression.
At the side, the creature that landed on the ground shook off the light foam on its spiked tail and thought doubtfully.
"What the hell are these guys doing? I just came here to take a look and I didn't do anything else, but they actually attacked me? They are so small that they want to attack me? Are you crazy? You are hyenas, not bullies! "
