Chapter 105 New Discoveries (2000020000)
Staring at the gemstone that was half-buried in the soil, even Tang Zijun, who had a strong will, couldn't help but be stunned for three seconds.
This feeling is absolutely correct.
Although this thing doesn't seem to share the same elemental attribute as Tangcao and Qin Nan, this faint natural energy is indeed the source power of the magical girl.
I thought the appearance of mirror cores and dark crystals in the dream world was already outrageous enough, but now it seems that the situation here is far more complicated than I imagined.
Reaching out to pick up the rainbow crystal flower, Tang Zijun could sense that the energy remaining on it was negligible, like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Tang Zijun has been pondering the connection between the dream world and the real world. Unlike the inner world or the reversed world, the dream world is a level higher than the real world and is a realm he has never seen before.
If the previous dark crystal and mirror core were because some evil creatures strayed into this place, were pulled into the dream world, and were then cruelly killed, then what role do magical girls play in all of this?
Whether it's the Otherworld or the Mirror Dimension, both the heretics and the greedy are constantly invading the real world in order to obtain more negative energy.
But the dream world is different.
Is there really a connection between the dream world and the real world? Do the creatures in the dream world feed on human negative energy?
The most crucial question is: where exactly is the owner of this rainbow crystal flower now?
Looking around, Tang Zijun found no trace of a battle (except for his own actions just now).
Judging from the wooden houses scattered throughout the area, it is clear that humans once lived here, but those people have likely disappeared into history.
Perhaps they moved away, or perhaps they died.
Tang Zijun wasn't sure how long the magic crystal flower had been here. If this really was a crime scene, then it probably wouldn't have left any trace long ago.
Thinking this, Tang Zijun turned to look at the red-robed figure, who was still standing motionless, looking like a scarecrow.
After confirming that the other party had no possibility of harming her, Tang Zijun shuddered, and then her armor disappeared, deactivating her transformation.
Although maintaining her transformation should be the safest option in this unknown and dangerous environment, it is somewhat awkward that Tang Zijun, after transforming, does not have a pocket and cannot store the rainbow crystal flower.
Not everyone has their own unique four-dimensional butt; at least Tang Zijun couldn't find one after studying it for a long time.
The reason he could take out the belt anytime, anywhere was that the belt was like a companion to him. It wouldn't be accurate to say that it was hidden inside his body. Tang Zijun only knew that as long as he had a thought, the belt would appear on his body at any time.
But other things are different.
In the real world, it's alright, because there's the Reverse World as a storage space, and Tang Zijun can hide things she needs to save inside the mirror at any time.
However, in the dream world, the passage to the reverse world cannot lead here, so Tang Zijun can only use the most basic method.
He couldn't confirm the information about the rainbow crystal flower yet, but it was still a great gain. Perhaps if he gave it to Mr. Qingnang, the other party would give him some feedback.
Just as she was thinking about it, Tang Zijun suddenly felt something abruptly disappear from her field of vision.
Turning around abruptly, he saw that the red-robed figure, who had been motionless, had suddenly appeared a hundred meters away.
He can move now!?
Without having time to think, Tang Zijun suddenly chased after that guy.
Although she is a mortal, Tang Zijun, even when not in her transformed state, can still unleash power beyond that of ordinary humans.
"stop!"
With a soft shout, Tang Zijun's figure swiftly passed through the forest, and the red-robed figure seemed to have heard Tang Zijun's voice, moving even faster!
This time, because Tang Zijun's gaze was firmly fixed on the other party, he was able to clearly observe the other party's actions.
Completely different from the state of melting into the air just now, the red-robed figure now seemed to shrink the distance to an inch, leaving behind a series of afterimages as he moved rapidly.
Unlike Tang Zijun, who needs to avoid large trees, the other party seems to have the ability to pass through objects, rendering all matter useless in front of them.
Two figures, one in red and one in black, moved swiftly through the forest, instantly breaking the deathly silence of the dim forest—mainly broken by Tang Zijun.
Tang Zijun now finally understood where the unease she felt earlier came from; it turned out that she had entered a misconception from the very beginning.
In his eyes, the other party's behavior pattern was always very strange, but in reality, the logic of this guy's behavior was completely different when facing different forms of himself.
Tang Zijun always thought that this guy was using the same method to entangle her, but from the other party's perspective, her before and after transformation were completely different concepts.
When wearing the wolf rider armor, the red-robed figure seemed to be intimidated. He couldn't move within a certain range unless the observer got close enough, at which point he would disintegrate and respawn a 'new' one nearby.
But when he deactivated his transformation, the red-robed figure was clearly freed from the restrictions. Not only could he move freely, but judging from his appearance, this bastard was probably trying to run away.
Having finally caught something that could be considered an intelligent being in the dream world, Tang Zijun was naturally not going to let it go so easily, so she quickened her pace considerably.
The two chased each other, and as they moved forward, Tang Zijun noticed out of the corner of her eye that red-robed figures had appeared in the forest on either side of her.
Some of them stood on the ground, while others stood in the grass. These figures varied in size, but without exception, they all stared intently at me with their emotionless eyes.
There really was more than one of these damn things!
For no reason, Tang Zijun got goosebumps all over her body. She turned her head and glanced at where those guys were.
The next moment, as Tang Zijun's gaze swept over them, the red-robed figures instantly disappeared into the surrounding environment, vanishing from their spot in the blink of an eye.
These guys don't want to interact with me?
Or are these guys afraid of the power emanating from themselves?
Tang Zijun frowned slightly, then suddenly noticed that the red-robed figure in front of her had sped up again.
"Stop right there!"
Tang Zijun's consistent principle is that when fighting in a group, it's best to beat up one person at a time.
Although the statement sounds a bit odd in this context, it's not far off. This isn't a game of hide-and-seek; the other red-robed figures don't matter, Tang Zijun is focused on the one in front of her.
Blame it on you for coming to me willingly.
Ahead of Tang Zijun, the red-robed figure, perhaps sensing Tang Zijun's thoughts, suddenly turned around and fled in another direction.
Actually, Tang Zijun didn't notice at first that the other party had changed direction. After all, she was in a forest, and the dim environment, along with the identical trees all around her, made it difficult for her to determine her current location.
However, when he noticed that the number of red-robed figures in Yu Guangzhong's robes was decreasing, and that the soil beneath his feet was becoming increasingly soft and turning from red to black, he realized something was wrong.
Just as Tang Zijun was hesitating about whether to continue chasing, a faint light suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
Looking up, I saw that the direction I was facing suddenly opened up, the huge trees became sparse, and in the distance was a plain of low grass shrouded in thick fog.
The grass reached up to a person's knees, and was extremely withered and yellow. At first glance, it looked like a wheat field, but it wasn't the golden color of a bountiful harvest; instead, it had a deathly, waxy yellow hue.
A thin layer of mist hung over the grassland, and the dark sky had a reddish tinge, making it hard to breathe.
In the fog, the outline of a city was faintly visible. Although it was not very clear, some lights could be vaguely seen, indicating that people lived there.
Tang Zijun slowly stopped walking, her brows furrowing even deeper.
I actually came out?
Tang Zijun's gaze shifted to the red-robed figure not far away. The man was facing away from Tang Zijun and slowly moving into the forest.
Sensing the gaze behind him, the figure in red robes paused, momentarily unsure whether to stop or continue running.
Tang Zijun now realized that this guy initially wanted to lure her deeper into the forest to attract more of his kind to kill her, but his kind didn't seem willing to provoke her.
So, having no other choice, this guy led himself to a human settlement in the dream world in order to stop chasing him.
"so."
Tang Zijun gave a cold laugh.
"You can still understand what I'm saying, right?"
Having inexplicably arrived at this strange place, Tang Zijun thought she would be stuck in a language barrier situation, but to her surprise, it seems this guy can still understand what she is trying to say.
Taking a step forward, Tang Zijun did not immediately leave the forest. Although he was curious about what the people here would be like, he was even more curious about what kind of creature the guy in front of him was.
The latest novel is first published here!
My feet sank into the mud, and my trouser legs rustled against the grass.
The red-robed figure stood frozen in place, making no move, seemingly reverting to the state Tang Zijun had in after her transformation.
Perhaps they've given up.
This is probably the first time the red-robed figure has seen such an outrageous human being in so long.
They couldn't win a fight, and they couldn't escape either.
After finally fulfilling his wish and taking him out of the forest, this guy still wasn't going to let him go.
The footsteps behind me grew closer.
Tang Zijun's breath even sprayed onto its clothes.
It knew that the human was less than a meter behind it.
A second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Ten seconds passed.
The figure in the red robe slowly began to rotate.
Looking back, I saw that there was nothing behind me.
Only a trail of footprints stretched from afar behind him.
The blinding sunlight shone into her eyes, and Tang Zijun subconsciously raised her hand to shield them.
Then I found my hands were warm and furry. Looking down, I saw Little White staring at me with its big, sapphire-like eyes.
"Tang Zijun, are you alright?" Qin Nan's voice came from ahead, her tone full of worry.
Tang Zijun looked up and saw Qin Nan and Xiao Hui staring intently at her face, their expressions full of surprise and panic.
"I'm fine," Tang Zijun rubbed his eyes. He was a little disoriented as he suddenly switched from the dim environment to the bright afternoon light.
After a pause, Tang Zijun asked, "How long have I been gone?"
"The word 'leave' is probably not enough to describe what just happened to you," Little Grey said cautiously.
"What do you mean?" Tang Zijun was taken aback.
Little Grey hesitated for a moment before explaining.
"In fact, you didn't 'leave' here, at least not from our perspective. You just fell asleep, and it looks like you took a nap."
"We were talking when you suddenly closed your eyes, and then the energy around you became a bit strange. We don't know what happened to you, so we dare not make any rash moves."
As Qin Nan spoke, something suddenly occurred to her, and her heart skipped a beat. "What you just did...?!"
Tang Zijun didn't speak, but nodded with a gloomy expression.
He glanced at his shoes; the soles were covered in mud, and his trouser legs were covered in weeds and dead leaves.
Qin Nan also noticed this scene, immediately shut her mouth, and swallowed hard.
She had only suspected it at first, but now the situation was probably more than just suspicion. She still vividly remembered the experience of being pulled into the dream world last time, and Qin Nan did not expect that the other party would be pulled in again this time.
Tang Zijun sighed softly, feeling a bit dizzy.
Perhaps because this was the longest he had ever spent in the dream world, he felt very tired and his mind was a little sluggish, as if he had just woken up from a deep dream.
However, Tang Zijun remembered her experiences in the dream world quite clearly.
"What are you talking about?"
Xiao Bai stared blankly at Tang Zijun, then looked at Qin Nan.
"What exactly happened? It seems like you all know something, but you're afraid to say it?"
"This matter is rather complicated." Tang Zijun reached out and placed her hand on Xiaobai's head. "If I don't tell you, it's just my problem. If I do, you'll all be in danger."
"Danger? What danger?"
Xiao Bai frowned. Having known Tang Zijun for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen such an expression on her face.
Tang Zijun didn't know how to explain it, so he just touched his pocket.
Feeling the hard texture through her pants, Tang Zijun quickly reached out and pulled out the rainbow crystal flower.
Silently displaying it in front of Qin Nan, Tang Zijun spoke in a complicated tone.
"How about it, does it look familiar?"
