Chapter 28 Mimicry
In the woods of the dream world, there was a lush grass between giant trees, and behind a huge rock, a white fox was hiding, cautiously peeking at the scene behind the rock and trembling.
Not far from the boulder where the little white fox was hiding, a huge dragon about ten meters long was standing there, with its majestic head upright and its broad wings lying on the ground. Its long, spiked wings were swaying gently in the air, with tiny specks of light floating around. The little white fox knew that those specks of light belonged to the hyenas that had chased her before.
"A dragon!? It's not a dragon? And it's not even an image. Didn't Grandpa say there would be such a thing in the forest? Is this a dream creature from another dimension!?"
The little white fox thought nervously, she had wandered the dream world for several times and had seen all kinds of dream world creatures and mimics of other wanderers, but almost none of them were beyond the scope of creatures existing in the mortal world, and now a dragon appeared here! ? What a joke!
The little white fox was panicked. She wanted to run away immediately, but when she saw the dragon kill a hyena that was escaping with one sweep of its tail, she dared not go out again.
Although the dragon helped her get rid of the hyena that was chasing her, the little white fox also wanted to come forward to thank it, but the pressure from the other party was too strong. She didn't dare to go out for a while because she couldn't confirm the other party's attitude towards her. What if the other party killed her too?
It is painful for the mimicry to be eliminated!
Just like that, the little white fox trembled behind the rock, hoping that the dragon would leave quickly. After the dragon killed all the hyenas, it paused for a moment, then slowly turned its head to look at the huge rock where the little white fox was hiding.
“Come out…”
Looking at the stone in front of her, Dorothy began to speak. She used a dragon-like voice, which was heavy, long, and loud, like a muffled thunder. The little fox behind the boulder was frightened and its hair stood on end. It immediately ran out from behind the stone, lay down, and hurriedly apologized to Dorothy.
"I'm so sorry, sir! I didn't mean to hide from you! It's just... I just wasn't ready for the moment...! I wanted to adjust my mentality before coming out. I didn't expect that you would see through me. You are really powerful!"
Listening to the words of the little fox in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
"Supernatural powers? It's just that you didn't hide your tail well, and it was exposed."
Dorothy laughed and complained in her heart, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she carefully looked at the frightened little fox in front of her, and then said.
"Why are they chasing you..."
Hearing the black dragon's words that sounded like rumbling thunder, the little fox shuddered, and then responded subconsciously.
"Reply, reply Your Excellency, those guys are dream hunters from the Black Dream Hunter Group. This is a secret society that uses the dream world as its main activity place. They often hunt other wanderers' mimics in the dream world in groups and rob them of their gains in the dream world. I, I am just an ordinary wanderer. I was accidentally targeted by them before. Thank you for your help!"
The little fox said to Dorothy carefully. Dorothy was stunned for a while after listening to the little fox's words.
"Hunters from the Black Dream Society? Mimicry of the Wanderer? Those hyenas and the fox just now are not creatures from the dream world. They are humans from the real world like me? They entered this dream world through mimicry?"
"So I just wiped out a team of mimics from a secret society in the dream world? This dragon mimicry is too powerful!"
From the annotations in "Dream Explorations", Dorothy can understand that battles can occur in the dream world. The dream world is different from the real world and has its own unique rules. Except for some special ways, the abilities of the real world can rarely directly affect the dream world.
In the dream world, the combat effectiveness of the wanderer is determined by two factors: the wanderer's mental strength and the strength of his mimicry. The mental strength determines how long the mimicry can be maintained, while the mimicry determines the combat effectiveness... and Dorothy's dragon mimicry is definitely the hyena mimicry that depicts the group of people just now.
Even those people are stronger than Dorothy in the real world...
According to "Dream Exploration Chronicles", being destroyed in the dream world will cause the body in reality to suffer serious mental trauma, which will take a long time to recover, and sometimes even lead to control, but it will not cause direct death.
"It's like an animal-themed brain-computer interactive online game..."
Dorothy was thinking and complaining in her heart, and in front of her, the little white fox looked at the dragon in front of him in silence for a moment, and couldn't help but panic again.
"Ah... not good, why is he silent? Can you say that he is a creature from the dream world who can't understand the real world?"
Having come to this conclusion, the little fox hurriedly explained to Dorothy.
"Well, that... You may not understand what I'm saying. The so-called Wanderer is a being that enters this world through dreams, and the so-called mimicry is..."
Listening to the little fox's explanation, Dorothy glanced at her gently and then said.
"No need to explain, I am a mimic..."
"What...you...are also a mimic?!"
Hearing Dorothy's words, the little fox was almost frightened to jump up.
"He he he... He said he is also a mimic?! Does that mean he is also a being from the real world that came into the dream? Not a creature from the dream world?"
Hearing Dorothy's words, the little fox was even more shocked than when she first saw Dorothy.
Mimicry? Dragon Mimicry? What does that mean? It means that the other party has mastered the mysterious knowledge of extremely long-standing taboos and can create a taboo spell that mimics extinct ancient creatures!
A spell that can mimic a dragon in a dream means that its true identity can only be the highest level of a powerful secret organization.
If the dragon in front of him is really a mimicry, then his true form must have an extraordinary identity in the real world!
What organization does he belong to? The Silent Brotherhood? The Afterbirth Cult? The Restless? The Whitestone Masons Guild? Or a secret agent of some country? Maybe even the Radiant Church!? Maybe he is even a great being above the mortal world?
The little fox's mind flashed through many influential forces and organizations. Her little brain gradually became a mess, and many thoughts arose in her mind. But Dorothy didn't have time to waste here with her.
Her mental strength was almost insufficient to maintain her mimicry.
"Goodbye, little one. Be careful not to be targeted next time..."
As Dorothy was speaking, she was about to spread her wings and fly away, but the little white fox in front of her was startled, then hesitated for a while and then hurriedly spoke.
"Please, please wait a moment! Your Excellency!"
Listening to the little white fox's words, Dorothy paused slightly, then turned her head to look at her again, and then the little fox began to speak nervously.
"Thank you for helping me out tonight. My grandfather once said that we should repay the kindness of others. Although I am just a nobody, no matter how much I contribute, I am sure that people of your status will not take it seriously. But I still want to express my small gratitude to you..."
"Ah? The little fox wants to repay his kindness?"
Upon hearing the words of the little fox in front of her, Dorothy immediately gathered her gradually scattered spirit. To be honest, if possible, she really wanted to stroke the fox in front of her, but she was afraid that if she used her dragon body to stroke it, the opponent's mimicry would be directly destroyed.
Looking at the dragon in front of him, the little fox paused slightly, then spit out a small blue ball of light from his mouth.
"I often come to this dream world to seek hidden secrets, but secrets are hard to come by. This is my only reward in more than a month. I know you may have already learned the secrets and don't think highly of them, but this is still a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it if you don't mind."
