But after hearing what Rhett said, Thales suddenly fell into deep thought, and said with some doubt: "I have some impression that those people said that some strange things happened in the town of Ku Teng recently. It seems that... some people had the same nightmare? Everything in the dream seemed to be swallowed up, and there was only endless darkness..."

Maybe it has something to do with the Deprivation Mystery... Rhett thought, and cast his gaze towards the bat shadow that was quietly suspended above Thales' head. The opponent's ability was indeed somewhat similar to the Deprivation and Devouring Mysteries.

It was also the first time that he encountered an elf that possessed two kinds of mysteries. The elves he had come into contact with and heard of in the past either had nothing to do with mystery, or even if they did, they only involved one type.

This time, it happened to appear in the dark system, which made Leiter think deeply. He couldn't help but recall the notes of Saint Mage Timos that he had read before. It mentioned that the underworld seemed to have the deepest influence on this world, and even allowed dark magicians to summon undead creatures. Therefore, he had reason to doubt whether the elves of the dark system would be more powerful? At least the phenomenon at this moment was in line with this speculation.

Leiter looked at the elf a few more times, but no matter what, Thales couldn't fleece it like he did. Even if this elf involved two mysteries, he could only miss it.

"So I suspect that those strange phenomena may be related to the elves." Leiter pretended to think and continued: "From this, we can infer that the prerequisite for the elves to devour may require the target to fall into a dream or meditation state."

Combined with the previous simulation, many people had the same experience. Leiter guessed that for extraordinary people, the spirit's devouring ability was not fatal, but he didn't know how it would be for ordinary people.

Thales suddenly understood and nodded: "Father, what you said makes sense. I thought those people were just rumors before. There is no such a strange thing in the world. But if it was done by the elves, then it makes sense."

"It's amazing, how does it do that?" Tucker muttered and touched the back of his head, puzzled.

Leiter knew a little, but not much. It seemed to be related to the mysteries of 'devouring' and 'depriving', but he was more afraid of the special nature of the elves. After all, humans can also master mysteries, but they can't do it to the level of the elves. He guessed that it was the ability of other worlds, which was essentially different from this world.

"Father, how about we try to find a few more sleeping monsters later?" Thales asked with his eyes rolling.

"No problem, you can try." Lei Te nodded.

After what happened tonight, the few people lost the mood to appreciate the scenery of the lake. They simply dealt with the traces around them and headed towards the area they had not set foot on yet.

Winter is roaring and snow is falling. The arrival of deep winter makes the dark forest covered with white clothes, which makes it less gloomy and more peaceful.

The reflection of snowflakes makes the light in the forest brighter.

A week had passed since the capture of the Dream Eater. The four people and one beast were walking in an orderly manner on the snow-covered forest path. The only sounds around them were the whistling wind and the squeaking sound of the thick snow being crushed.

Dream Devouring Spirit was the name Thales gave to the bat-like spirit. After testing, it was found to be effective against Warcraft. However, Warcraft did not meditate, was too alert during sleep, and had less mental strength than a magician, so it was not an ideal target.

"Strange, the noises around me are starting to get quiet again. Why is there no trace of Warcraft..." Thales muttered to himself.

Tucker scratched his head: "Could it be that we have encountered a high-level monster again?"

"It shouldn't be. There are still many ordinary wild beasts in the forest, and big eagles can be seen in the sky. This is not the nest of high-level monsters." Thales looked around and said indifferently.

Rhett's eyes were always calmly fixed ahead, with a smile on his lips. He exuded the aura of a third-level magician, a very common transcendent in the dark forest.

But his mental power captured three extraordinary beings 500 meters away - two fourth-level earth knights and a third-level magician.

"Boss, when do we start? They are getting closer." The third-level magician was an old man with wrinkles all over his face. He was wearing a gray wizard robe and was squatting on the snow, buried in the snow.

"Wait a little longer, it will be safer if we shorten the distance to two hundred meters!" said a knight who was also an old man cautiously. Although he was old, he was very strong and even the bushes could not hide him.

"They also have a magical pet, so their wealth must be considerable. The profit from this job might be equal to what we earn in a month!" Another knight said with greed in his eyes.

"Less, I guess two months."

Several people were whispering, and the fluctuations were very obscure. At least Tucker and Taylors didn't notice it. But when Leiter heard it, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Half a minute later, they were only three hundred meters away from the hiding place. Rhett could even feel the excited heartbeats of those people and the cruel looks on their faces, as if they were going to kill if they walked a little further.

Rhett was not used to being passive. He took action, condensing the earth element with his mental power and casting magic.

On the white snow surface, suddenly two spikes appeared, emitting an earth-yellow light, breaking out of the ground and directly piercing a vulnerable part.

Puff Puff The three of them squatted on the ground. Under the unbelievable gaze of the third-level magician, his two companions suddenly changed their faces, as if they had experienced some unspeakable pain, and screamed!

"ah."

"ah."

Their bodies were shaking and twitching, and they quickly lost their vitality, but even so they did not fall down - the spikes were unusually strong and directly strung them up.

The only remaining third-level magician was so frightened that his body trembled and his eyes were terrified. How could he not know what happened? He immediately ran away, with a green light floating around him. The wind element blessed his body, greatly increasing his escape speed.

But just as he stood up, he felt something pulling his feet. He looked down and his face turned pale and he was completely devastated.

The ochre-colored vortex was spinning wildly, and the earth magic Quicksand had confined him firmly in place. The magician had lifeless eyes, and knew that he and his group had hit a wall. The funny thing was that he thought he was a hunter, but he didn't know that he had already become a prey in the eyes of others.

"There's movement ahead!" Tucker moved when he heard the scream, using Phantom to trace back, and in a few flashes he arrived a hundred meters ahead.

He looked at the quicksand on the ground, which bound an old figure with a pleading look on his face, full of surprise.

When Leiter arrived, Thales looked at the corpses and the controlled old man on the ground and said in surprise: "There are three more people lying in ambush here? It seems that father has already noticed it."

Tucker's face turned cold: "Humph, you are really brave enough, are you lying in ambush here to launch a sneak attack?"

"I, I don't know! This has nothing to do with me. It was all their idea." The old man's eyes were red with anger and he begged for mercy. He was really scared. The other party could deal with his two companions so easily, which meant that he was at least a fifth-level magician. He was an existence that could crush him. There was no chance of winning at all.

Lei Te said calmly, "Do you want to live?"

"I want to, I want to. Sir, please tell me if you have any request. I will do it for you no matter what!" The old man nodded frantically like a drowning man grasping at a straw.

"Then sit down and meditate first."

"Meditation?!" The old man was stunned for a moment, but thinking of his own situation, he didn't dare to say anything more. Finding that the quicksand technique under his feet had disappeared, he sat on the ground and began to practice meditation.

"No matter what happens later, don't stop, understand?" Rhett ordered again.

Then, Leiter turned his head to look at Thales and said, "Let it out and try."

This "it" refers to the Dream-Eating Elves. Thales was extremely excited. In the past week, they had met another extraordinary being and learned about the strange phenomena that occurred in the town of Dead Vine and other areas of the Dark Mountains. Some magicians would be dragged into darkness when they were in a meditative state and deprived of all consciousness, just like a nightmare.

So he understood what his father meant, which was to let him try to see if he could devour this man. So after releasing the Dream Devourer, Thales gave it the order to pounce on the old man.

This time, the Dream-Eating Elf didn't hesitate at all. It flew towards the old man's head and disappeared like a shadow.

And then, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and his forehead was tightly wrinkled, just like a person having a nightmare.

Soon after, he even began to sweat like beads.

Thales watched this magical scene from the sidelines, marveling in amazement.

An hour later, the Dream-Eating Elf emerged from the old man's head. Its shadow became slightly lighter and it looked a little weaker. It then drilled back into Thales' body.

"call!"

The old man also opened his eyes at the same time, taking deep breaths as if a drowning man was trying to survive. His eyes were filled with horror, his body was shaking, and he pointed at the bat shadow and said, "Devil, devil..."

Lei Te shook his head and laughed: "It's not a devil, it can't kill you, you should give me this title."

As soon as he finished speaking, a spike flashed from behind and pierced directly into the back of his head.

Now that he knew his secret, there was no way Rhett would let the other person live.

Then, Dick walked forward with the Black Crow's Sorrow in the shape of a dropper bottle, and easily completed the kill.

[Family members who have crossed four levels and killed the enemy, destiny value +4]

"It's still more fun to have ordinary people harvest the crops..." Rhett sighed silently.

Since the bat entered his body, Thales fell into silence, closing his eyes and slowly comprehending things.

Soon, he took a deep breath, opened his eyes and said, "It does help a little, but the improvement brought to me by the return of the bat this time is very weak, far less than the gain last time."

Lei Te thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps before it recognized its master, it had devoured many times and accumulated a huge stock."

"That should be the case. At least we can rest assured now. The Dream Eater's swallowing capacity is still very large. We don't have to worry about it being full after swallowing a few times." Thales said excitedly with bright eyes.

"Then when we return to Dark Eagle City, I will help you capture a group of death row prisoners, lock them up in a secret prison, and provide you with food." Rhett said.

"Ah? Isn't this... too cruel?" Thales hesitated. He was not afraid of death, but he was worried about catching innocent people. He couldn't get over it.

"Don't worry, we won't arrest innocent people. We will only pick those who have committed serious crimes." Rhett smiled and patted Taylor on the shoulder, telling him not to feel any psychological burden.

"Okay, so when are we going back?"

"In the next two months, we should hurry up and hunt more monsters." Rhett looked at the system panel, the column of [Destiny Value: 821]. These were the recent harvests, but it was far from enough to break through to the Grand Mage.

Time passes quickly while hunting monsters.

Three months later.

Winter goes and spring comes, and it directly arrives at the end of spring. At this time, spring is in full swing, and the awakened earth is glowing with rich colors and is full of vitality.

In a cave halfway up a mountain in the Dark Mountains.

Rhett quietly opened his eyes. A majestic mental force emanated from him from the inside out, as surging as the ocean, which was a world of difference from the mage stage.

He murmured softly: "Finally, the Great Mage, this power is too strong..."

The spiritual power that spread out of the body, under Leiter's control, condensed into a spear, stabbed at the wall, and the tip was like a drill, directly stabbing a deep hole. In terms of quality and quantity, it crushed the previous spiritual power. Mastering advanced magic can also exert a more powerful power!

It was still a simulation at this time. Rhett consumed more than 4,000 destiny points to complete the breakthrough feat. He wanted to continue to feel the changes in the Earth Armor.

But suddenly, his face changed. The state of breakthrough he had just experienced made him aware of the deeper aspects of the world, and the changes in the earth element also seemed to be somewhat different.

Rhett was excited and closed his eyes. The sand-like earth element sometimes jumped, sometimes overlapped, and sometimes shook vaguely. The changes were endless and unpredictable.

But in the process of overlapping, Leiter seemed to see a more special trajectory, which made the overlap easier and faster...

He was immersed in this special state, and was fascinated by the mystery of concentration and unable to extricate himself.

It was not until half an hour later that he slowly opened his eyes, feeling happy and reluctant.

"What a pity! If the time is longer, I could feel it more deeply!" Rhett shook his head and sighed. His mind moved, and the mystery of condensation was unleashed. His whole body first turned into sand, and then transformed into a solid as hard as diamond. At first glance, it looked like a thousand-year-old rock and seemed indestructible.

"Yes, the mystery of condensation can cover the whole body. The next step is to apply magic!"

Rhett commented with delight, and then in order to test its strength, he cast an earth cone spell. A sharp cone condensed right in front of him and stabbed at him with fierce momentum, breaking through the space and piercing the chest fiercely.

Ding! An extremely crisp sound echoed in the cave. The hard and sharp spike could not go any further once it touched Rhett's chest.

However, Rhett did not feel any pain at all, just like someone gently touched his chest, without any pain or itch.
