Under normal circumstances, Shao Xuan rarely dreamed. Every time he dreamed, there must be a reason, and it must be something important that might actually happen.
Counting all the dreams he had so far, which one of them didn't have a strong hint?
Shao Xuan sometimes wanted to have that kind of "dream" a few more times. Unfortunately, it wasn't something he could control. It could only be encountered and not forced.
But on this night, after Shao Xuan fell asleep, he entered a dream that he hadn't had in a long time.
Shao Xuan felt like he was in the middle of a mountain forest. He could hear the leaves and grass around him rustling due to the gusts of wind, like waves rising and falling.
Looking up, the two moons in the sky were getting smaller and smaller. After all, it was the end of the year. The two moons had separated into thin, curved buds, unable to bring enough light to the earth.
There was no starlight, and the surroundings were very dark.
Shao Xuan wanted to use his special vision to observe this place, but it was useless. After using it, it was as if he was shrouded in a thick layer of fog. It was worse than normal vision.
Aside from the limitation of his vision, Shao Xuan felt that his mind was actually very clear. His senses were sharp, and he could clearly hear the subtle movements around him. This feeling was very strange. It was as if he knew that he was in a dream, but also had the sense of being in a real environment.
Although the surroundings were very dark, Shao Xuan could still make out the rough outline of the surrounding trees and rocks. He just couldn't see them in detail.
Rustle — — Rustle — —
It seemed to be the sound of the wind blowing. Amidst the rustling of the grass and trees, there was another sound. It wasn't obvious and was difficult to distinguish among the various sounds. If one's hearing wasn't good enough, they might not be able to hear it.
In the dense grass, something was moving quickly. It whizzed past Shao Xuan not far away. Shao Xuan only saw a blurry shadow running into the distance like the wind. He could even feel the waves of air as the shadow ran past.
Without thinking too much, Shao Xuan hurriedly chased after the sound. Based on his intuition, he felt that it should be his target.
That figure ran very fast. In the dense forest, it moved freely without any hindrance. Moreover, its movements were very quiet.
They ran out of the dense grassy area, past a stone field, across a small stream, and into a forest. The shape of the trees there was strange. They were crooked, like weeping willows that had been shaken by a strong wind. They looked like they would fall with just a little more pressure.
However, due to the dim surroundings, Shao Xuan couldn't see clearly.
As Shao Xuan chased after the sound, he heard a crunching sound in front of him. It sounded like the sound of something being chewed quickly. Occasionally, there was the sound of grass being torn apart.
Shao Xuan wanted to take a closer look, but the figure quickly left. It continued to move at the same speed as before, shuttling through the forest. It would occasionally stop to rest, and then there would be the sound of chewing again.
All of a sudden, Shao Xuan's muscles tensed up as a strong sense of danger washed over him. From where the chewing sound came from, a pair of glowing green eyes looked over and stared straight in Shao Xuan's direction.
Shao Xuan couldn't see what the eyes looked like, but he could feel a murderous aura coming straight at him. He didn't have time to think. The pair of glowing eyes in the dark lowered, no longer looking in his direction. However, the murderous aura grew stronger.
Shao Xuan wanted to avoid it, but his body remained in place, facing the rapidly approaching figure.
In the dark night, it seemed like a sharp sword was coming straight at him. In the next moment, he felt like his entire body would be pierced through.
"Whoosh!"
Shao Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. The feeling of almost being pierced through by a sharp blade in his dream was still clear in his mind. His tense muscles made his body slightly stiff.
"What's wrong, Shao Xuan?" Mai, Duo Kang, and the others heard the noise and quickly asked.
During the day, Shao Xuan's analysis of the traps made many people unable to sleep at night. They were thinking about all kinds of things, including the four people from Yanjiao. Even if they did sleep, they couldn't sleep well. Shao Xuan sat up so suddenly that it scared the sleepy people awake. They thought they were being attacked.
"I'm fine," Shao Xuan raised his hand to wipe his forehead. His hand was covered in cold sweat, and he was still panting.
"You don't look like you're fine," another voice in the cave said. It was a person from the Thousand Masks tribe.
Shao Xuan ignored him and said to Duo Kang and the others, "It was just a dream."
When the others in the cave heard Shao Xuan's words, they only thought that Shao Xuan was probably thinking too much. It was probably a nightmare. They didn't expect this kid to be so cowardly.
Seeing Shao Xuan lie down again, looking like he wanted to go back to sleep, the others didn't ask any more questions. It was just a nightmare. Who hadn't had nightmares before? Especially after entering the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest, they often had nightmares about being eaten by ferocious beasts or being swallowed by those strange plants. However, that was only the beginning. Later on, it became much better. After all, those who were able to follow along were all people with decent strength in their respective tribes.
Knowing that Shao Xuan could also be scared awake by nightmares, the young warriors from the other tribes felt much better. Shao Xuan, this kid, could also be scared. Hehe.
Only, while the others felt better, the four people from Yanjiao felt their hearts in their throats.
After experiencing some things, they knew that Shao Xuan's dream wasn't an ordinary dream.
When Shao Xuan was hunting with the advance party, he saw the Green Thief in his dreams. When he was on the other side of the sea, Shao Xuan dreamt of his ancestors and the place where he crossed the sea. All of these were great inspirations and guidance!
Now, hearing Shao Xuan say that he was dreaming, the four people from Yanjiao wanted to ask, but considering the others in the cave, they could only hold back their questions.
Because of Shao Xuan's words, the four people from Yanjiao were all awake. The others in the cave could also feel that the people from Yanjiao weren't calm.
In the ground below the cave, some unknown creatures were wriggling. Their voices passed through the stones at the bottom of the cave and reached everyone's ears. Those creatures didn't come close, so they weren't a threat for the time being, but they could always stir up their nerves.
In the forest outside the cave, the roars of nocturnal beasts could be heard a little further away. In the dark of night, the forest was still full of fighting.
Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the dark cave. The forest at night was a little cold, and the warmth from the stone at the bottom of the cave calmed him down a lot. He carefully recalled every detail of the dream, recalling it over and over again, memorizing it.
Green-faced fanged beasts? The ones in the dream were the green-faced fanged beasts, right?
Unfortunately, in the dream, not only was the vision dim, but it also seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog. No matter what vision he used, he couldn't see clearly. He could only see the rough outline of his surroundings.
This place was really different.
Shao Xuan spent the rest of the night recalling the details of the dream, as well as the murderous aura.
If the ones in the dream were really the green-faced fanged beasts, then it could explain why they were so hard to catch. They were too fast, had strong attacks, and were very alert. It would be strange if they were easy to catch.
Shao Xuan had already searched the mountain where they were resting. According to his memory, the place in the dream wasn't here.
If it wasn't here, then where was it?
The next day, after a simple breakfast, the people from each tribe separated and set off.
The five people from Yanjiao did the same. They didn't say much and followed Shao Xuan. They knew that Shao Xuan must have found something.
