Chapter 2088 The Nightmare Demon

The ruins swayed in the distorted light and shadow. The streets were no longer straight, they were as complicated as a maze, sometimes rising into steep stairs, sometimes sinking into bottomless caves. Time lost its meaning here.

Nightmares are the projection of the most secret and twisted wishes and fears in people's hearts. The breath of despair began to invade the forest, causing the forest to gradually become foggy again. Perrin felt that the land under her feet had turned into a soft swamp, and every step seemed to swallow her. The trees around her twisted into strange shapes, and the branches and leaves shone with a faint green light, as if countless eyes were peeping in the dark.

Faced with this terrifying scene, Princess Perrin did not dare to stay where she was, and hurriedly ran into the forest.

"There are footsteps, as if someone is running." Melo's pink rabbit ears, which were erected high, moved. Hearing some movement, he walked in this direction.

"Then go over and take a look." Lin Jiu felt that in this strange world, his original perception could not expand out, and could only be compressed in a small area around him. No, it cannot be said that it cannot expand, but it will be affected by some force when it expands, and the perception becomes very chaotic.

Now Lin Jiu's perception range is not as good as Melo's hearing. Melo's brother has the talent of wind talk. Although Melo does not have this talent, her hearing is still far beyond that of ordinary people.

The wind talkers in the natural lineage have the talent of listening to the sound of the wind, feeling everything brought by the wind, and using this to detect their own secret information. They are also the strongest intelligence department of the Cangyue Alliance. As long as there is any disturbance in the Dusk Jungle, they can't escape their detection.

If Lin Jiu didn't need information from the past, not the current information, the first target to come to the door would definitely be this wind talker organization.

Soon, Melo and Lin Jiu saw a little girl running constantly, and behind her was a forest that was constantly being eroded and corrupted.

"This way~" Melo could see that the little girl was not a member of their Cangyue Alliance, but she still shouted to save her.

Irene on Gun Gun looked at the little girl who was a little older than herself coming over, very curious, sitting on a lantern and flying over, wanting to make friends. Lin Jiu silently protected Melo in front of him. You are not sure whether this little girl can control the changes of the devil in the dream.

It is not difficult to see that there are two opposing forces in the dream world now. The fantasy forest area where they are is the territory of Lucy, the god of dreams, and the unknown area on the other side is the territory of the devil. The erosion and corruption of plants and the gradually covered fog in Lucy's territory all reveal that Lucy has fallen into a disadvantage in this confrontation.

"Hello, I am Yilin, do you want to play together?" Yilin took the little girl to the lantern, flew back, and greeted the little girl at the same time.

"Wow, a flying magic lantern, it's amazing. I am Perrin, nice to meet you." Princess Perrin sat on a lantern that seemed to be in a fairy tale and exclaimed. They also have magic in the Shengyao Empire, but most of them are based on the holy light magic of the Shengyao Hall, which is too monotonous, and the means are not as diverse as the Cangyue Alliance magic dominated by talent.

Peilan, who had a childlike mind, forgot the urgency of being hunted by the corrupt power and started chatting with Yilin beside her. Lin Jiu observed for a while and confirmed that the little girl Peilan had nothing to do with the devil.

Not only that, Lin Jiu also learned two important information from the communication between Yilin and Peilan. The first is that although the dream world is mixed and can connect to anyone's dream, there will be a main carrier. Because the unknown devil and the god of dreams are in opposition, there are now two carriers.

Peilan in front of him is one of them, and she is also the carrier of the devil. When she enters the forest area, the efficiency of the unknown devil's power invading the forest will be greatly improved.

The second important news is that the little girl Peilan in front of him is the jewel in the palm of the current king of the Shengyao Empire, the princess of the Shengyao Empire. If something happens to her, it will definitely cause great turmoil. However, this news is of no use to Lin Jiu. He is far away in the Cangyue Alliance. Now is the period when the devil emerges. The turmoil in the Shengyao Empire is a situation that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

"Let's go, let's speed up, otherwise this God of Dreams will soon be unable to hold on." Lin Jiu estimated that this Lucy was "cut", either she was seriously injured and not healed, or something else happened. Otherwise, she was called a god after the Age of Gods. She couldn't resist the erosion of a demon. It was not credible to say that this was her prime.

Lin Jiu took Perrin back to the eroded area again. The corrupted and twisted trees attacked them, trying to force Perrin to continue to flee to the forest. But even Melo could handle this level of attack, let alone let them retreat.

The group was traveling very fast. Lin Jiu was so active for a reason. He couldn't bear to watch the dream world being invaded by the power of the demon.

[You have triggered the side quest: Nightmare Demon. ]

[Side quest: Nightmare Demon]

Difficulty level: Lv.55

Quest information: In the dream world formed by the confrontation between Lucy, the God of Dreams, and the Nightmare Demon, there are many demons hidden, eyeing this dream world covetously.

Mission requirements: Join one camp and expel the other.

Tips: Choose to join the Devil/Dream God.

Mission deadline: 2 natural days.

Mission reward: Depends on the target killed.

Mission penalty: Forced execution.

…

If it were in the outside world, Lin Jiu could ignore this triggered side quest and do the main quest first. But now that he has been drawn into the dream, he cannot get out without doing the quest, so there is no need to refuse the quest.

For Lin Jiu, the choice of camp is actually only one option. He is acting from the standpoint of Qing, and he has the initial identity of Yangyan Messenger. Other contractors can choose to go the route of the demon camp, but he certainly cannot do so. If he jumps over, he will not be trusted.

On the other side of the dream world, Tai Lide also made the same choice as Lin Jiu. It was not because of identity restrictions, nor was it because of telepathy, but Tai Lide thought that she came here to hunt down demons, and naturally she could not forget her original intention when accepting the quest. This damn nightmare demon also slipped around, and it was not enough to vent her anger if she didn't kill that guy.

Both sides approached the area where the opposing forces collided most fiercely, that is, the midline area. Anyone who is not a fool knows that this place is the most critical.

The environment in the middle area is even more peculiar. Half of it is a dark purple night sky, covered with dark clouds, which is as frightening as the doomsday scene; the other half is a bright starry sky, dotted with stars, and the Milky Way spans the sky, which is breathtakingly beautiful, as if the endless dreams and hopes are within reach.

On one side of the ground are desolate ruins, broken walls, flames, wailing and crying intertwined, forming a tragic nightmare picture. People's consciousness struggles to survive here, their faces are full of despair and pain, and every step seems to be stepping on a sharp blade, which is heartbreaking.

On the other side is a vibrant paradise. Flowers are blooming, grass is green, streams are gurgling, and birds are singing. Children are chasing and playing on the grass, and their laughter is crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature.
