Chapter 320: Sailing
"Let's sail towards that place. There will be hope there. May the light of the fluff ball illuminate our way."
With the sails of hope hoisted, the dream ship created by the skeleton dragon is sailing on the muddy sea of dreams.
Sailing here is not driven by wind, but by... hope.
As long as they kept hope, the ship would move automatically on the sea of mud.
On the contrary, it will become slower and slower until it can no longer move.
Many creatures here died because of this.
However, these skeleton dragons have hope, and they believe that hope will lead them to the other side.
In addition to solving the problem of despair, they also have to satisfy the problem of food.
Although this ocean is made up of the "corpses" of dreams, they cannot be eaten.
If they consume the dream energy that makes up the mud sea, their 'bodies' will begin to become abnormal.
They will slowly be overcome by intense despair, and eventually become completely unable to move. There also seem to be some other abnormalities.
It feels a lot like eating rotten food.
So they have to capture the living dream calendar.
Therefore, they hoisted the sails of hope. In addition to igniting their own rays of hope, they could also attract other creatures to hope so that they could catch them and eat them... This is similar to fishing.
Sometimes they attract others of their own kind.
There were less than ten skeleton dragons in this group at first, and the current one hundred were attracted after they built the ship.
Of course they will not eat their own kind, but will take them along on the journey of hope.
But where will this journey ultimately lead?
They don't know themselves.
However, the dreams here seem to have this feeling, that is, to travel continuously... to travel on.
Before, Lin thought that they were all flying in the same direction, but that was not the case.
These dream experiences did not lead to any specific place, they were basically just about traveling for the sake of traveling.
They have never settled in one place, otherwise Lin thinks these dream loggers should be able to use dream energy to build buildings or something.
There are many types of dream energy here, and many of them can be used for 'construction'.
Just like building this ship, some special dream energy can be assembled into a shape.
However, this is also caused by the wonderful environment here. If it were in the normal void outside, it would not be possible to assemble it.
So now... just continue to observe.
Although the fluff was floating in the sky, this group of skeleton dragons could not see it.
They continued to maneuver the ship forward with hope...Lin also let the ball of fluff continue to follow them.
"What does this feel like?"
At this time, Lin noticed that there was a skeleton dragon at the bow making a relatively loud "noise".
Of course there is actually no sound, but their bodies flash every time they speak.
The stronger the flashing light, the louder the 'sound', and can be sensed by companions farther away.
The words of this skeleton dragon were heard by almost all the skeleton dragons on the ship. They quickly gathered at the bow and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That is..."
As they gathered, Lin also discovered that the mud sea in front of them suddenly exploded like an explosion.
A phoenix with a wingspan of over thirty meters flew out from the exploding waves.
The Phoenix could be seen by them, and all the skeleton dragons were staring at it closely.
While many creatures gain energy from worshiping the phoenix, this is not the case with the Skeleton Dragon.
And they all acted very alert.
The phoenix circled in the sky, then dived rapidly towards the skeleton dragon's ship.
"Hit it!"
At this time, Lin discovered that the skeleton dragons had erected several weapons similar to crossbows on the ship.
The Skeleton Dragon quickly adjusted the angles of the crossbows to aim at the air.
"Bang!" Along with the sound of the arrows, several meters long crossbows of light shot into the sky, and together with the swooping phoenix, they bloomed brilliantly in the sky.
After the explosion, Lin found that the Phoenix's body flew to the side and fell into the sea not far away.
Although this crossbow arrow is also dream energy and cannot cause damage to the Phoenix's entity, it seems to have a good effect on the Phoenix's "Condensation of Nothingness".
This made the Phoenix look like it was shot down, and the skeleton dragons on the ship also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they don't need to breathe, they still make habitual movements such as exhaling.
But before they could relax for long, Lin saw that something strange had happened on the sea again.
This time it was something resembling a submarine that rushed out of the sea.
It is more than three hundred meters long, much larger than a sailboat... It looks like a submarine built by the Xu people.
Just when Lin was wondering whether this was created in the dreams of the Xu people, it crashed into the Skeleton Dragon's sailboat.
But when it hit, the skeleton dragons quickly pulled down the sails.
At this time, the submarine quickly stopped and backed up into the sea.
Lin could also sense the specific reason from the Skeleton Dragon at this time.
Lin cannot detect their deep memories, but can know the shallow ones.
Just like when they encounter enemies or chat normally, they will have some thoughts, and Lin can sense these thoughts.
Mainly because once they reefed their sails, the original feeling of hope disappeared.
And the submarine will feel that the great hope on the sea surface has suddenly disappeared...and they will leave quickly.
Because if the dream creatures here fall from hope to despair very quickly, their emotions may affect... the surrounding environment.
Submarines don't want to be affected so they stay away.
This submarine is also like a skeleton dragon, and they also specialize in hunting various dream creatures.
They mainly hunt by detecting the 'hope' of their target.
However, the Skeleton Dragon doesn't know much about them.
After experiencing all these things, the Skeleton Dragon once again raised the sails of hope and continued to move forward.
Lin found that this place seemed very...peaceful.
Lin originally came here to see if the previous invaders were still here, but it seemed that they could not be found here.
And now all of Lin’s troops in this place have not discovered the invaders and tentacles.
I don't know where they all went.
"This is... leave now!"
Suddenly, Lin noticed that ** appeared again here at the Skeleton Dragon.
A storm appeared on the sea not far ahead.
It seemed as if a strong tornado rolled up the 'sea water', forming a dazzling tornado of light.
It was still moving towards the sailboat.
It seems that there are quite a lot of anomalies here.
This is not some "climate", it should be a whirlwind creature. Perhaps these creatures will be attracted by their hopeful emotions.
And this time they didn't seem to have a good way to avoid it. Using crossbows or trying to escape was useless.
