It was a very strange state, a dizzying swaying sensation, and at the same time, a distant and ethereal voice, "Wake up..."
After a moment of trance, when he opened his eyes, Lin Xiaoman saw a fluffy head with flaxen curly hair. It was undoubtedly Long Jiujiu.
Long Jiujiu squatted on the ground, his hands still on Lin Xiaoman's arms. Seeing that she had opened her eyes, he stopped shaking her and said with a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're awake. I can't carry you with my small body."
"Well??"
Staring blankly at the still dark sky, Lin Xiaoman was a little overwhelmed. This, this...
While Lin Xiaoman was still confused, Shao Qi's voice came over, "There's nothing suspicious here."
Wasn’t Master Shao blasted out by the Heavenly Dao?
In a flash...was this a dream?!
Depend on!
Her soul crystal!
Lin Xiaoman jumped up as if he had come back to life, and rushed downstairs without saying a word.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?!" Startled by Lin Xiaoman's sudden action, Long Jiujiu, whose legs were already numb from squatting, sat down on the ground with his buttocks stretched out, shouting in a daze, "Wait, wait for me!"
He quickly got up and ran downstairs after him, feeling very surprised.
Lin Xiaoman: No, she doesn’t believe it! She doesn’t believe it’s a dream!
With a sense of self-deception, Lin Xiaoman followed the path in his memory, rushed to the river quickly, and then found the section of the river full of soul crystals.
Under the moonlight, Lin Xiaoman tried to inhale, but unfortunately, he didn't smell any fragrance.
Is it because there is not enough moonlight?
After changing his position and making sure that his whole body was bathed in moonlight, Lin Xiaoman tried hard to smell, but unfortunately he didn't smell a single fart.
I felt terrible, and the conclusion that it was just a dream became even more obvious.
Lin Xiaoman cried out silently: No, she doesn’t believe it!!
"What are you doing! You just ran away without saying a word." After catching up, Long Jiujiu complained, panting.
Lin Xiaoman quickly rushed to his side, grabbed Long Jiujiu's arm, pointed at the river, and said excitedly, "Look, are those rocks at the bottom of the river soul crystals?"
Long Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then looked seriously towards the riverbed. Then he sighed, and with a look of concern for the mentally retarded, he touched her head and said sympathetically, "Child, don't be silly, this is just an ordinary pebble!"
"Look carefully!" Although his hope was completely shattered, Lin Xiaoman still had some hope.
"Look carefully at these giant titanium dragon eyes of mine!" Retracting his hand, he raised it again, and said earnestly, as if swearing an oath, "I swear by my dragon spirit that this is just an ordinary pebble!"
Lin Xiaoman: ...
ah!
Hope is completely and utterly shattered!
So fucking depressing!
It was actually just a dream!
It’s a dream!!
Life is full of ups and downs!
Oh, oh, oh…
Sitting down on the river bank, staring blankly at the gurgling river in front of him, Lin Xiaoman, who had suffered a huge blow, was like an eggplant hit by frost, and was extremely dejected.
Long Jiujiu stood beside her, chin in hand, analyzing the situation like a Sherlock Holmes. "So, you were also drugged and fainted, and while you were unconscious, you had a dream that the river was covered in golden soul crystals?"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right."
Lin Xiaoman replied weakly and dejectedly, adding gloomily, "In my dream, you both said that if this pile of soul crystals were converted into soul power, it would be enough to be over 10 Dabulousss. The soul crystals were successfully brought out of the world, and I was so excited!!"
"So awesome? What position did you use to achieve such a pipe dream?" Long Jiujiu expressed his envy in his real name.
"Lying like a salted fish."
Lin Xiaoman patted his clothes and stood up. Alas, his dream was shattered. Workers still have to work hard!
However, after smelling it again, there was still no fragrance. Lin Xiaoman had another guess in his mind that this fragrance might be related to the monster.
"Perhaps they're under the influence of the demons." Shao Qi, who was a step behind, listened quietly to the conversation and came to a conclusion. "Not only can demons make people unconscious, but they can also make dreams come true during the coma. The villagers here must have noticed something unusual, but these dreams are so addictive that they can't stop, like a drug or addiction. That's why they're so repulsed when they hear we're demon hunters."
"That's indeed possible. Hey, what a beautiful dream! If you had come a little later, I would have dreamed of myself wandering in the ocean of soul power, reaching the pinnacle of life..." Lin Xiaoman was full of regret, "At least let me reach SS level before waking up!"
After saying that, Lin Xiaoman glared at Long Jiujiu. It was all this guy's fault. He even shook her until she almost had a concussion!
"Hehe." Long Jiujiu laughed dryly twice, then changed the subject and asked Lin Xiaoman, "Did you see the monster?"
"I saw it. It's from a map from the Gate of Life and Death. It's the mini-boss in the cemetery on a rainy night. It's a big red flower, probably a corpse-scented arum. Of course, it's also possible that I was dreaming when I saw it, so it's not ruled out as an illusion."
"You fainted on the rooftop. If you weren't moved there by a demon, then what you saw must have been real," Shao Qi analyzed. "If it really was the corpse-scented amorphophallus, then your bronze mirror must have had no effect on it. Then you fainted, and then you entered the dream, seamlessly transitioning."
"If that's true, then it seems the Demon Sealing Device corresponds to it." Lin Xiaoman felt that what Shao Qi said made sense.
"It seems we still need to find a way to get information from the villagers."
"Uh, they should be waking up soon, right?" Long Jiujiu slapped his head and said, "Should we retreat first?"
"Well, let's go."
After a few simple words, the trio retreated. Because the time was up and the Shadow Fiend had fallen asleep, while retreating, the three of them also had to wake up the humanoid brothers who were unconscious in various places.
Perhaps they were having a sweet dream. Although they startled a few dogs and caused them to bark, no villagers went out to check what was going on. The group evacuated the village without disturbing the villagers.
After returning to where the horses were, the group rode back to Long Jiujiu's manor.
Back at the manor, I ate first and then took a nap.
After sleeping for three or four hours, during lunch, the three of them chatted with each other and finally came up with a plan.
Lin Xiaoman, a stranger, disguised himself as a merchant and went to the village to sell and buy things, with the main purpose of gathering information.
Disguised as a middle-aged woman, Lin Xiaoman, a merchant, brought a younger brother with him, loaded a bunch of daily necessities on the carriage, and set off.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiaoman returned to Hexia Village.
Amidst the barking of dogs, the villagers came out.
Lin Xiaoman explained his purpose and showed off a carriage full of daily necessities.
Ordinary farmers cannot afford to keep horses. Without horses, going to the town to buy groceries is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Most villagers in each village rely on mobile vendors to replenish their household supplies.
So, Lin Xiaoman successfully sneaked into the village.
