One hundred thousand spirit stones was not easy to earn. Even with Gu Nan's insane speed at completing missions, it was the equivalent of half a year's worth of hard work. Now, he had to do it all in one go. It was not going to be easy.
Three days passed. Purple Will returned to the small building and informed Gu Nan that he could leave.
They were in a small plane near the Dream World. It was a stepping stone to enter. The Dream World was a plane that not even World Breakers could enter directly.
Purple Will prepared as soon as she received the news. When she contacted Gu Nan, she still needed three days to open the tunnel.
It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to enter the Dream World with one's real body.
After all, one's real body could retain consciousness. That was a big advantage in the Dream World. Fortunately, Zuo Zuo's people were facing the same problem. Everyone was on the same starting line.
"Be careful of the Dream World's Nightmare," Purple Will warned Gu Nan before entering the Dream World.
"I know." Gu Nan nodded. He was not arrogant enough to look down on everything. On the contrary, before every mission, he would do a detailed analysis of the mission's background. He would not miss out on important information like this.
Nightmare was the only native creature in the Dream World. It was a strange existence that existed between reality and illusion.
The special nature of the Dream World was that it was often used to kill powerful people that were hard to kill. It was also the source of dream power users.
The reason these dream power users could do this was because of the existence of "Nightmare."
The whole process was simple: find a way to make the enemy dream. Create a god soul in the Dream World, and then guide the "Nightmare" to eat them.
Those who were eaten by the "Nightmare" would die immediately. Their god soul would be destroyed.
In that case, dreaming was still a very dangerous thing. Fortunately, the "Nightmare" would not attack the dreamer unless it was guided by a dream master. Or … someone else entered.
"The Nightmare's attack is mainly targeted at people who have distracting thoughts." Purple Will clearly knew more than Gu Nan. "Don't worry about those two dreaming. We are in more danger."
The dreamer acted on instinct, so of course, there weren't many distracting thoughts.
Seeing that Gu Nan was already prepared, Purple Will did not say anything else. Instead, she said bluntly, "Let's go. Don't split up. We need to have a greater chance of success."
The Lost Dream World was very special. Its entire body was a space of nothingness, but its interior was divided into pieces of various sizes, some even overlapping with each other.
Just figuring out the path to the Dream World was enough to give many a headache.
In this kind of situation, the only way to find traces of Shadow Song and his companion was to search the area one by one. There was no better way.
The first space was not too big. With their speed, they finished searching in a short while.
"No."
"I don't have one either."
"Let's go to the next area." Purple Will did not mind. There were at least a few hundred regions in the Dreamy World. How could he be so lucky as to encounter the first one?
"Wait." Gu Nan did not move immediately. Instead, he casually struck a corner.
Very quickly, a dull roar was heard, and it pounced towards Gu Nan and Li Wuyou. This roar, which seemed to be both real and fake at the same time, caused the purple intent's expression to change in an instant.
A Nightmare Shapeshifter!
This guy, Gu Nan, had actually discovered the Nightmare Shapeshifter in this area and deliberately awakened it!
Purple Will had no idea what Gu Nan was doing. Of course, this did not affect her actions at all — she was running for her life. In the Lost Dream World, Nightmares were almost immortal existences. Even if they were killed, they would quickly revive, so fighting them was meaningless.
Fortunately, there was only one Nightmare Shapeshifter in each area of the Dreamy World, and Nightmares could not travel through space. After the two of them quickly left the area, the Nightmare Shapeshifter could only roar angrily.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Purple Will said angrily. She did not understand what Gu Nan was doing. Was it fun?
"Of course it's to cause trouble for Zuo Zuo's people!" Gu Nan said without any intention of being in the wrong.
Purple Will was taken aback, but then she began to understand what Gu Nan was trying to say. Nightmares were usually in a state of deep sleep, so the two intruders had always been careful not to disturb them.
Once a Nightmare Shapeshifter was awakened, it would not be easy to fall asleep again. Usually, it would have to 'feast' in its own area before stopping.
The principle that dream masters used to kill their enemies was actually to find a way to awaken a Nightmare Shapeshifter in the area that the enemy had entered, so that the Nightmare Shapeshifter could eat the enemy.
"Zuo Zuo's people … will they coincidentally be behind us?"
"Who can say for sure." Gu Nan shrugged. "But unless they're moving at the same pace as us, they'll definitely run into areas that we've been to before."
"As long as we can disrupt their movements, it'll be worth it." Gu Nan laughed. "It's no trouble at all."
Of course, Purple Will did not understand the last half of Gu Nan's sentence, but she understood what he meant.
In any case, the two of them would not suffer any losses from awakening a Nightmare Shapeshifter. It was indeed no trouble at all.
Shadow Song and Zuo Zuo could not travel through areas of their own accord. Those who would search for them from area to area would be Zuo Zuo's people. This was indeed a good deal.
Of course, this would inevitably lead to the deaths of many innocent people, but did Gu Nan seem like someone who would care about such things?
Purple Will understood Gu Nan's meaning. So, in the subsequent search, the two of them would purposely awaken the Nightmare Shapeshifter before they left.
With their standards, they were prepared in advance, so there was not much danger until they arrived at another area.
This was also a small area, but what was different from before was that it was clearly scattered with villages and houses.
The Dream World was supposed to be chaotic. There was only one possibility for something to appear in this area — the Nightmare Shapeshifter was awake!
"Be careful!" Purple Will said immediately, and then her figure suddenly disappeared.
Gu Nan frowned as he looked at the spot where Purple Will had disappeared. This was not a method of movement that he knew of. Instead, it was as if the space itself had been moved.
"Has the Nightmare Shapeshifter been awakened?" Shadow power reverberated around Gu Nan's body, and his heart was beating slightly.
After such a long period of recuperation, "Deity's Descent" had long since cooled down, but Gu Nan was not in a hurry to use it.
Under Gu Nan's vigilance, the Nightmare Shapeshifter came.
Gu Nan felt the scene in front of him change, and he found himself in a completely different place.
The Nightmare Shapeshifter's attack extracted the deepest part of a person's heart, causing them to sink into it. If they stayed in the illusion for too long, they would naturally have to stay inside.
The illusion could be their own, or it could be someone else's. The scene that Gu Nan was currently experiencing was clearly someone else's.
Atop a snow-covered mountain peak, the person who appeared in front of him was someone he had never expected to see.
