It seemed that no one was approaching this area, and Zhang Mu didn't care about it. His heart sank in loneliness, as if he was the only one left in the world.

But the current Zhang Mu didn’t notice this situation at all. He was no longer the cautious Zhang Mu.

He looked at the leaves above his head falling one by one, and continued to look up in this posture, and the fatigue in his heart was gradually induced.

Time passed quickly. Zhang Mu could no longer feel the difference between day and night. He just stared at the leaves falling continuously. Each yellow leaf seemed to indicate that it would also wither.

It seems like there is really no escape. It has been like this for the past three years.

Zhang Mu recalled everything about the past three years, recalling how he struggled to fulfill the most basic desire of staying alive, down to every memory preserved in his mind.

Suddenly, his heart tightened, and warning signs kept being sent to his mind. He finally struggled out of the numerous memories. He raised his wrist and glanced at the antique mechanical watch he had bought from the trade fair, and smiled bitterly.

Are there only five minutes left? This day is still going on so long.

But for some reason, time seemed to stop at this moment, and Zhang Mu felt that the speed at which the leaves fell was infinitely slowed down.

Whatever happens, you're going to die in five minutes anyway, right?

However, unlike what Zhang Mu expected, the last five minutes never arrived. The whole world fell silent. He could only hear his own heart beating tremblingly one after another, and the sound of the pointer on the mechanical dial sliding.

Zhang Mu, who had been quietly waiting for death, was now completely confused, and his fear was magnified step by step.

He wanted to get up, but found that he was unable to do anything. Zhang Mu's mind was completely confused at this time. He didn't know what the reason was. He turned his head with difficulty and stared at the Epoch Merchant Ring on his right hand.

Why isn’t it time yet? Why isn’t it time yet?

Zhang Mu's heart was so depressed that he was about to collapse. He knew that he was going to die and it would be futile to do anything. But just when he was ready to accept the fact of death, this time was magnified. He was being dragged into the abyss of despair step by step.

These five

The minute seemed as long as a century, until the light in his eyes completely disappeared, and then the flow of time seemed to return to normal.

"Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip..."

Zhang Mu's timer suddenly rang at this moment. Zhang Mu felt his heart suddenly twitch. His vitality and another unspeakable thing were slowly being stripped away from his body.

It seemed to be the Epoch Merchant Ring on his hand, but it also seemed to be something else.

I am going to be free, I am finally going to be free.

Zhang Mu, who had been suppressed for too long, had only this one thought lingering in his mind for a long time.

However, this process was not completed all at once. Zhang Mu was very confused as to why he had already accepted this fact, but the speed of being pulled out was still very slow, as if something in his body was struggling to resist.

No, I really want to die? What is resisting? What is resisting all this? I have heard from other Epoch Agents that the moment of being stripped of life is extremely short, why is it so slow here?

Just a little bit of curiosity made the originally numb Zhang Mu regain some consciousness. He wanted to sink his mind and see what was affecting his spirit.

He used up his last bit of strength and immersed himself in his mind, trying to find out the reason. However, he found that there was a corner in his heart that was wrapped in a black mist.

He used all his strength to push away the black fog, but it just shocked him to the point of being stunned.

This is a talisman.

Zhang Mu immediately recognized that this was the Spirit Amulet from the extra gold leaf reward in the Epoch Store, and it was a treasure in the eyes of a second-level non-spiritual evolver.

But how could it appear here? Even if all the extra gold leaves rewarded from all the tasks were added together, it would not be enough. Besides, such auxiliary items can only be purchased by oneself unless one has a hundred gold leaves.

One hundred gold leaves. Oh, by the way, I once completed a task that offered an extra reward of one hundred gold leaves.

This thought suddenly awakened Zhang Mu from his daze, and he suddenly woke up.

This is fake, all of this is fake.

Zhang Mu, who has regained his consciousness, looks at this world again.

When it comes to this, there is only cold contempt.

This world is constructed from my memories. It is a trap, a huge trap.

Is the purpose to make me sink into this virtual dream, and to eat away my soul step by step?

Zhang Mu saw through all the illusions at this moment, and directly reached out and grasped the spiritual amulet in the black mist, squeezing it tightly.

A roar from the bottom of the heart resounded.

"Wake up, wake up!"

As if sensing that Zhang Mu had regained consciousness, the Epoch Merchant Ring on his hand sped up the speed of stripping Zhang Mu's life and soul, as if it wanted to swallow up most of the rest in one breath.

However, it was no longer possible to stop Zhang Mu from waking up.

Zhang Mu's roar from the bottom of his heart seemed to spread from the deepest part of his soul to the entire sky and the entire world.

“Crack.”

This small world seemed to be shattered by this sound and began to crumble. The earth slowly cracked and the stars in the sky gradually fell, one by one crossing the depressing sky.

Now Zhang Mu has regained control of his body. He stands on the lawn with his hands behind his back, looking at this doomsday scene, unmoved.

With a loud bang, when the entire dream completely collapsed, Zhang Mu, who was lying in the house, opened his eyes, which suddenly shot out two rays of light. He shook off the bear skin on his body and clenched the obsidian dagger in his hand.

Just then, he discovered something that made him start to feel creepy.

The room where the two of them and their two worms were was now filled with overwhelming silvery-white nematodes.

The nearest one was just one meter away from them, with its eyes closed.

After seeing clearly what the bug in front of him looked like, Zhang Mu's mood was in turmoil.

It's a nightmare bug!

Zhang Mu subconsciously clenched the second-level spiritual amulet on his chest and stared at the nightmare bugs that filled the room.

But at this moment, the eyes of all the nightmare bugs opened at once, and their weird gazes were cast on the face of Zhang Mu, the only one who was awake.

This expression is just like a human!

At the same time, something happened that Zhang Mu had never expected.

The spiritual amulet on his chest was actually broken!
