Su Mu opened his eyes, completely escaped from the dark and depressing dream, and returned to the tent dormitory at the snow mountain base.
There was no longer the deathly silence in my ears; the snoring, grinding of teeth and talking in dreams coming from the surrounding tents intertwined together, seeming full of vitality.
"Finally I fooled him..." Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
He dealt with two ancient gods at once and made them spend money obediently. The sense of accomplishment in his heart was extraordinary!
But before Su Mu could feel happy, he found that his body began to move uncontrollably and in a very rhythmic manner.
At the same time he saw the doll that the monster 'placed' next to him.
The snake-shaped doll that he had seen in his dream, twisted into an S shape.
This doll was slightly different from the one I saw in my dream—it was more vivid and lively, like a living little snake that was constantly twisting.
As the doll twisted, a mysterious and strange energy emanated, affecting the creatures around it.
Based on the noise he heard, Su Mu initially estimated that the doll's effective area should be more than 100 square meters, about the size of two primary and secondary school classrooms. A more accurate range would have to wait until later for measurements.
The range is average, but the power is indeed good.
Su Mu tried to take back control of his body, but to no avail.
His current state was as if he was sleep paralyzed. No matter how hard he tried, he could not control his body and could only watch it dancing around.
Lin Junjie, who was sleeping on the bed next to him, was also dancing and even wanted to jump up. Although he was making a lot of noise, he was still sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
He was still mumbling in his sleep: "Hey, junior sister, come here, I'll teach you how to dance... Hey, if you don't want to learn, then don't learn. Why are you hitting me?"
Is it so miserable even in dreams?
Su Mu expressed deep sympathy for Brother Lin’s experience.
At the same time, I have a new understanding of the doll's abilities - it not only allows people to dance, but it should also have a certain sleep-inducing effect.
No wonder the monster said it went well with the phantom poison.
The cultivators living in the tents within the range were in a similar situation to Lin Junjie, all dancing in their sleep.
Among these cultivators, there are many brothers with second or third level cultivation, but it’s useless, they are still hit, and they don’t feel anything at all!
"It seems that using the doll and the phantom poison together as an assassination prop is a good choice... Of course, the prerequisite is that I have to adapt to the doll's ability and develop resistance to it. Otherwise, it won't be an assassination, but a dance with the target."
Although he had lost control of his body, Su Mu was able to mobilize the spiritual power in his body. He activated the bracelet, opened the dimensional space, and then started the needle knife technique, turning the ring on his hand into a scimitar, and "nailed" the doll into the dimensional space.
As soon as the doll entered the dimensional space, the strange energy it emitted was immediately cut off. Lin Junjie, who was performing the "Thomas Spin" on the camp bed, suddenly relaxed his hands that were supporting his body, and fell off the bed with a "bang".
Without the doll's sleep-aiding function, Lin Junjie immediately opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "What happened? Was there an earthquake?"
"You rolled off the bed." Su Mu said, and put the gourd left by the drum into the dimensional space.
Lin Junjie didn't notice Su Mu's actions. He paused for a moment and said, "Maybe this bed is too small. Why haven't you slept yet?"
"You go to sleep, I'll practice for a while." Su Mu said, and at the same time he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements in several nearby tents. They were all sleeping soundly. It seems that there are still few people like Lin Junjie who can perform difficult dance moves.
Professional indeed!
Lin Junjie yawned and lay back on the camp bed.
"Okay, I'll continue sleeping..." As he spoke, he glanced at the other bed and was stunned: "Hey, where's Kevin?"
"Huh?" Su Mu then noticed that there was no one on the bed where Kevin was sleeping, and there was no sign of Kevin in the tent.
Just as I was wondering, Kevin opened the door of the tent and walked in: "I'm here."
"Why are you running outside in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Lin Junjie asked curiously.
Kevin casually replied: "I'm going to the bathroom, you go to sleep."
"Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night? Your kidneys are not in good condition. When you go back, let Teacher Su take a look at you." Lin Junjie did not doubt him. After mumbling a few words, he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep again.
Brother Lin has been exhausted these past few days in the dangerous snowy mountains, not only having to patrol day and night, but also having to maintain a high level of mental concentration.
Su Mu was also very tired. If he hadn't been suddenly found by the drums and monsters, he would have gone to sleep after finishing his training.
But what about Kevin? Did he really go to the bathroom?
Su Mu was wondering when Kevin looked him up and down and asked, "Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Su Mu immediately concluded that he had just been pulled into a dream by the drum, and Kevin should have noticed it.
"Aren't you going to the bathroom?"
"Of course not. I said that just because I didn't want Senior Brother Lin to worry."
Kevin took the initiative to tell the story without waiting for Su Mu to ask:
"I was just playing with my phone when I suddenly felt something was wrong with you. I wanted to go out and call for help, but as soon as I left the tent, my body started dancing uncontrollably, as if I had been poisoned. When the abnormality in my body stopped, I heard you talking to Senior Brother Lin. I guessed that you must have escaped danger, so you came back..."
Su Mu asked, "Were you the first one to notice something was wrong with me last time?"
"That's right." Kevin nodded and smiled frankly, "I have always had a strong sense of danger."
Su Mu looked at him deeply. Although he had a guess in his mind, he did not ask any further questions.
Strong sense of danger, abnormal sensitivity to the smell of blood, better spirits at night than during the day, love to eat blood soup, etc.
Kevin, this rich man, is no ordinary person!
However, from the moment we met, Kevin's series of behaviors showed that he had completely integrated into human society and had not done anything to harm others or society. Even his family should be the same.
Otherwise, how could a Western magic school recruit him? I'm afraid they would have been killed long ago. It's impossible for an Eastern cultivation university to allow him to come as an exchange student to study.
No matter how impartial they are, the background of students will still be checked thoroughly, and very strictly, just like the political review required by universities for early admissions.
Since Kevin was able to pass the "political review" of East-West University, what does it matter whether he is human or not?
When I make friends, I never care about their identities. No matter how impressive their identities are, they can never be as powerful as a time traveler like me!
Kevin yawned. He was also very sleepy. He hadn't slept before. Not because he didn't want to sleep, but because he wanted to wait a little longer. He didn't know what he was waiting for. Anyway, he just lay on the bed and fiddled with his phone.
But at this moment, perhaps due to the influence of the doll's 'sleep-aiding effect', he felt sleepy, and after making sure that Su Mu was fine, he wanted to go to bed.
"Are you still not asleep?" Kevin fell headfirst onto his bed.
Su Mu responded: "You go to sleep first, I'll wait."
Kevin didn't sleep on a camp bed.
This thing actually has a big bed inside the stretchable magic bag. I don’t know what it’s made of, but it looks very expensive.
The tent was crowded before because Guo Da and others were also living there, so Kevin didn't feel comfortable taking out the bed.
But tonight, there were only three of them in the tent, so Kevin asked the three-headed dog and Li Li to move the extra camp beds to the corner of the tent, and then took out this big bed. He also kindly invited Su Mu and Lin Junjie to sleep with him, saying that the bed was big, soft and comfortable.
Su Mu and Lin Junjie refused without hesitation.
Three grown men sleeping in one bed seems a little dangerous no matter how you think about it... Even if they have no intentions towards each other, what would the people in the next tent think if they came over and saw it?
So, no matter how big, soft and comfortable Kevin's bed is, they would rather sleep on a camp bed.
Kevin fell asleep while Su Mu continued his unfinished practice.
Although it seemed that he spent a lot of time in his dream to trade with the drums and monsters, in the real world, only a moment had passed. Otherwise, Kevin should have called the big guys in the base instead of just leaving the tent.
Since there was not much time to waste, he had to complete the training he had planned. Besides, he had just lit a stick of incense to calm his mind and soul, so he couldn't waste it...
Su Mu activated the Toad-Swallowing Air Technique, and not only the surrounding spiritual energy was sucked into his body, but also some special energy was sucked in.
Although these energies are only tiny, they are extremely pure and many times stronger than ordinary spiritual energy.
Su Mu smelled a familiar scent from these energies.
“This is…divine power!”
These divine powers should be drums or monsters, deliberately left to monitor him.
Relatively speaking, Gu is the most suspicious because the monster has spied on him before and he dares not continue for fear of offending the mysterious 'Fool'.
However, Gu certainly did not expect that Su Mu could actually swallow the divine power he left behind!
Su Mu himself had not expected that the Toad-Swallowing Air Method given by the paid plug-in would be so overbearing!
As expected, this skill is obtained by spending money, it is stronger than the civilian level ones!
After a little consideration, Su Mu finally decided not to be polite and devoured the remaining divine power around him with all his strength. He believed that even if Gu found out that his divine power was being devoured, he would just consider himself unlucky and would not dare to use his divine power to attack him.
This is exactly the case.
Gu was the first to notice that his divine power was being devoured, which surprised him greatly.
"My divine power was devoured? This is not something that an ordinary cultivator can do. It must be the deity he serves who is helping him. It seems that he holds a very high position in the deity's heart..."
"What a loss, what a loss. If I had known this would happen, I would have exchanged my power for a game or some wine... Alas, now I can only suffer in silence!"
Gu would never admit that he wanted to monitor Sumu.
What if I angered Su Mu and he stopped giving me games and wine? This matter must be blamed on that monster that is neither human nor snake!
