Chapter 233 Waiting
Chapter 233 Waiting
Leaving the boundary between dreams and reality, Julian felt nothing but a sense of weightlessness under his feet, and when he woke up, he felt... a coldness on his back.
The fingertips felt a little tingling, as if they were being rubbed back and forth by something with burrs...
Julian tried his best to open his eyes, but his vision was blurred. After a while, he could barely see everything in front of him.
He seems to be lying in a temple-like place, with colorful murals drawn on the high dome. The content of the murals seems to be telling the process of a god killing a demon. The demon is invisible, and they saw it before The Demon Shadow is kind of like that.
"Ow!"
The pain at the fingertips became more obvious. Julian felt his whole body stiff. He barely looked down and found that a cat-shaped creature had just bitten his finger, and the bright red blood was licked away by the tongue with burrs. The tingling sensation became more pronounced.
"Hey, this isn't food..." He managed to hold himself up and sat up. The cat-shaped animal seemed to be taken aback, and ran not far away.
I don't know if its parents didn't teach him to beware of humans. After hiding not far away, it stopped again, squatted on the ground, and stared at Julian curiously.
Julian ignored it, it was obviously the cub of some kind of wild beast, and it did not pose any threat to him.
It was only after he started doing it that he realized that it was no wonder that he felt cold after parting, and he didn't know why he was so unlucky that he actually slept in a puddle.
He looked around and found no other people, but since they have all come out of the dream, there shouldn't be any danger.
He changed his wet clothes and lit a bonfire. The walls around the temple were still intact, but the front and rear doors and windows had disappeared. It seemed that it was night outside, and the light from the bonfire was enough to serve as a signpost for others.
Soon, his teammates came in from the darkness one after another, and sat around the campfire.
Everyone's emotions are not too high, that is, anyone who is attacked as soon as they enter the God's Abandoned Land will not get better, especially when the last demon disappears so suddenly, God knows if the Nightmare Lord is hiding and waiting for them fatal blow.
"Everyone don't need to worry too much about the Nightmare Lord." Cosmo clapped his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Even if the Nightmare Lord is not dead, he is probably already in a weak state. As long as he is not stupid, it is impossible to come to him again. our trouble."
"Really? That's really great." Judy breathed a sigh of relief, being stared at by a demon hiding in the dark is definitely not a good experience, especially the attack of the Nightmare Lord is almost impossible to crack, if it weren't for They were lucky, many people gathered together, and it was impossible for her to solve her years of nightmare so easily.
Julien pretended to be drying his clothes and didn't speak, but was actually communicating with the system.
The 'belt' he put away was the main body of the Nightmare Lord. Now it has been drained of energy, and even the life characteristics have been wiped out by Julian, leaving only...a rule mixed with many impurities.
This thing Julian is useless, the piece of godhead he absorbed is about space, and if it continues to develop, it may also involve time, but it has nothing to do with illusory dreams. If he swallows this rule, it will only cause conflicts, so he Then send this thing to the system.
As a good system that can absorb all kinds of energy, the system effortlessly restores that rule to the most primitive energy body—chaotic energy, and then absorbs it.
Looking at his full experience bar, Julian was very happy, but unfortunately, he still needed an opportunity to break through to level seven, and he didn't know when he would be able to break through.
Several people gathered around the bonfire and exchanged experiences with each other.
Nearby is a vast area of ruins, and the temple where Julian lived is already considered a rare and complete building.
Most of them woke up in ruins, but compared to Julian who was soaked in water, they were lucky. Most of them passed out on the floor tiles, at least they kept their bodies clean.
"Did you see...the others?" Julian's words made everyone fall into silence.
Those who can come out alive are already here, and the so-called 'others' naturally refer to the bodies of those who have died.
"I... I saw a corpse." Judy raised her hand and whispered.
Julian thought for a while, but decided to go and have a look. He pulled out a torch, asked Judy for directions, and walked out.
"Wait for me." The male soldier seemed a little worried and offered to go with him.
"Then let's go." Julian didn't object, and having a companion was an extra layer of guarantee in terms of safety.
The male soldier still remembered the place where he met Judy, and he directly helped point out the direction. It didn't take long for the two to find a corpse.
The corpse seemed to have died not long ago, and spots had already begun to appear on the neck, chest and abdomen.
Julian looked at this man and sighed. This corpse was the thin man who collapsed at the very beginning, and it was he who led everyone into the Nightmare Lord's domain intentionally or unintentionally.
He checked the man's body, and sure enough, he took out a strangely shaped wood carving from his pocket. The skin of this wood carving was very smooth, and an ominous black light flashed from time to time.
"What is this?" The moment the male soldier saw the wood carving, his heart tightened suddenly, as if he had been pinched by something.
"The distraction of the Nightmare Lord, or it can also be said to be a tool used by the Nightmare Lord to absorb fear."
The male soldier immediately showed a disgusted expression: "Is this deceitful thing that brought us here?"
"It should be." Julian put the wood carving in his hand and felt it. This thing is very evil, and just putting it in his hand will make people feel palpitations.
If it was an ordinary person, without access to high-level power, they wouldn't notice anything wrong with it at all. Even Julian was cheating by relying on the godhead in his body.
This kind of wood carving is similar to those altars where sacrifices are performed, and they are all a medium, except that the medium of the Nightmare Lord is relatively powerful, without the need for sacrifices and real names, and it can absorb fear endlessly by itself to resurrect the Nightmare Lord.
From the murals he saw in the temple just now, Julian had roughly guessed what happened.
When the war of gods broke out here, that unlucky Nightmare Lord should have been caught by a certain god, the most likely reason is that it took the initiative to die and went to make trouble in the god's kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is where the believers belong after death, and the most fanatical believers live there. Their ability to enter the Kingdom of God after death means that they are not only devout in their beliefs, but also have strong spiritual power.
The fear produced by an ordinary person and the fear produced by a person with strong spiritual power are obviously stronger in the latter. Julian is not sure whether the Lord of Nightmare has done similar things in the kingdom of other gods before. Anyway, in the kingdom of this unknown god, the Lord of Nightmare was planted, he was captured, imprisoned, and became the... weapon or cannon fodder of this unknown god?
In short, after the outbreak of the battle of gods, the god did not survive the war, and the Lord of Nightmare must have had no good end. woodcarving, to absorb fear.
However, the efficiency of only using wood carvings to absorb is too slow, so this time when the Land Abandoned by the Gods opened, he simply used wood carvings as a positioning to get all of them here.
It's a pity...he was unlucky. Among the captured people, there happened to be someone who knew his old background, so he failed. Otherwise, these people would become his nourishment, and the Nightmare Lord would be able to use this to truly resurrect .
Julian didn't know whether his deduction was correct, so he could only silently light a candle for the Nightmare Lord... This time, he should be completely finished.
The black belt he gave to the system was the core of the Nightmare Lord, without that, no matter how many wood carvings there were outside, it would be useless.
"Let's go find other people's corpses, at least help them collect them." Julian took the greatest benefit, and felt a little guilty about other people, especially those who had died, although they were not strong enough and had bad luck It didn't make it through, but Julian figured at least he could help collect the bodies.
The male soldier agreed without thinking too much. In fact, his companions were also among the dead, and he was thinking of looking for the corpse.
The two turned around the ruins a few times with the help of torches, and soon found the bodies of those people.
After collecting the body, they returned to the temple.
After entering, Julian sat back beside the bonfire, and Cosmo next to him glanced at him: "Why did you go? If you don't come back, I can't help but look for you."
"It's nothing, just collect the corpses of other people." Julian paused and looked at the others: "Did any of you come with them?"
After claiming their companions, everyone fell into silence again, escaping from the terrifying dream. For a while, these people were a little dazed.
They are all God's Chosen from some small kingdoms. They entered the Land Abandoned by God for the first time, and they knew nothing about it except that it was dangerous.
Originally, they were supposed to get together with the knights of the church, but because of a wooden carving, they came to this ruins. Without a map and a guide, their chances of encountering danger would increase exponentially.
"Do you have any suggestions?" The atmosphere at the scene was too heavy, and Cosmo didn't intend to let it go. He clapped his hands quickly and found a topic.
There are now only seven of them left, and they must unite if they want to survive.Because the speed of time cannot be confirmed in the dream, they are not yet sure how long they have been in the Land Abandoned by God, but judging from their physical reactions, it should not exceed seven days.
In other words, they will stay here for at least two more months. If they are in the current state, it will be difficult for them to persist until the end.
Seeing that no one spoke, Cosmo had no choice but to continue to assume the responsibility of throwing bricks and sparking jade: "Since everyone has no idea, why not listen to my opinion first."
He looked around, and everyone was very face-saving, and they all looked at him.
Cosmo was very satisfied: "Everyone has limited knowledge about the Land Abandoned by the Gods. First of all, I will share the news about it with you."
Julian already knew what Cosmo said from Owen. After listening to it for a while, he found it meaningless. They were covered with big leaves, covered with a layer of mud, and finally a hole was dug next to the campfire and buried.
After he finished, he looked up and saw other people looking at him curiously, the corner of his mouth twitched: "I'm a little hungry, let's make something to eat."
"Is it delicious? I've never seen such a cooking method." The male soldier leaned over curiously, squatting on the ground and staring at the place where he buried the chicken, as if he could see a flower from inside.
Julian suddenly felt happy to find a friend, and explained to him the beauty of Beggar Chicken...
So, within ten minutes, five more people listened to his commentary, and everyone looked at him with fiery eyes.
Julian: ...
I seem to see the word hunger from their eyes, this must be my illusion! !
Foodies: (﹃)...
Owen Diary:
Today, a certain mysterious existence promised me that tomorrow, I will play my role. Let's just... trust him first, if you can't...
Hehe, God also kills for you to see!
Super fierce! .jpg
