In a moment of desperation, Xiao Hai plunged his sword into King Pingdeng's chest. King Pingdeng suddenly woke up, as if facing a formidable enemy. When he saw that it was Xiao Hai, he was stunned: "What happened to me just now?!"
"No! Dead, all dead..." He suddenly thought of something, and the color on his face faded a little.
"Uncle Pingdeng, take a closer look. They are not dead, they are just asleep. You have just experienced a huge stimulation, and your blood and energy are rushing to your heart. You were almost taken advantage of by that thing. If I hadn't come, you would have fallen asleep like everyone else." Xiao Hai answered patiently.
Upon hearing this, King Pingdeng took a step forward and went to several houses to carefully check their heartbeats. Then he collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained, gasping for breath.
"Fuck! Fuck! I'm scared to death."
"Uncle Pingdeng, I'm leaving first. I'm afraid Jiuzhou is in big trouble this time. If they can't wake up in time, it's no different from being really dead..." Xiao Hai said, and his figure began to become blurred again.
It wasn't until he disappeared that King Pingdeng was stunned for a moment. His appearance was like a dream, and so was his disappearance. Although they were both ninth-level, Xiao Hai gave him a feeling of being completely unpredictable.
But this is not the current point.
He looked at the people sleeping all over the city and tried to wake them up, but no matter what method he used, it was ineffective.
"It's the Fengdu Forbidden Territory that's causing this. Is this the same power of rules as the death knell?"
"No, we have to inform Lao Jiang!"
…
Not long after, the news came back and Jiang Chen's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Everyone in Kyushu fell asleep.
None of the thirty-three cities were spared.
No matter what method is used, they cannot be awakened.
The only good news was that, because the sky hadn't been bright in Jiuzhou for the past few days, almost everyone had stayed at home, and the casualties from falling asleep were minimal.
Otherwise, there were no problems in the dungeon and everyone was alive and well.
But the strange thing is that all the strange men and ghost messengers guarding the cities fell asleep like ordinary people.
It was not until Xiaohai returned that this doubt was answered.
Practitioners can resist this sleepiness to a certain extent, but if they experience great mental stimulation, they may be exploited and fall into nightmares.
When these ghost messengers saw that all the ordinary people around them had collapsed, they must have been frightened out of their wits. Later, they themselves were also eroded by this power and fell into a deep sleep.
"What the hell is causing this?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Hai.
His brows were furrowed on his small face. "Nightmare Judge, I've fought it before."
"But I couldn't solve it, so I had to escape."
"It's not some powerful being, but a force of rules. I can recognize it because the source of this power is a supreme sacrificial vessel from the Ghost Sacrifice lineage, a legendary forbidden artifact!"
"In short, everyone experiences horrific things in their dreams. Once they die too many times, their consciousness sinks into eternity, never to wake up again. Their bodily functions gradually fade, and they truly die."
"If you improve your strength by one level, can you solve it?" Jiang Chen asked.
Xiao Hai shook his head, his face somewhat blaming himself. After all, Jiang Chen had allocated resources to allow him to break through to the peak of the ninth level just for the sake of his current power, but he could not play any role.
"No, Uncle Jiang, it has nothing to do with strength. Once you step into the dream world, you can only survive these strange dreams like an ordinary person to defy the rules of the Nightmare Judge."
"If you use your power, there are only two outcomes. One is that you are not strong enough and will sink deeper into the dream. The other is that you are strong enough and can break free, but you won't be able to save others."
"A strange dream..." Jiang Chen grasped the key point: "You mean, a supernatural event?"
Xiao Hai nodded.
His expression suddenly relaxed a bit: "How can I enter the nightmare?"
