Finally, there was the sound of waves. At the end of the fog was the rotting land on the shore of the island.
The white ship slowly sailed forward and docked at the shore. A gangplank appeared on the deck of the ship, and it was placed on the shore.
Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu were already dressed in light gray linen clothes. They looked like ancient people from a foreign land.
They went behind the cabin door to change. The howling at the bottom of the stairs became louder, like some beast was struggling in a cage. After they changed, they left immediately. They did not turn back to look. That was what they had agreed to do.
At that moment, the two walked down from the gangplank and landed on the island. The clothes that they had brought with them had dissolved into smoke. When they turned back to look, the white ship had already sailed away at the other end of the sea.
It was a one-way ticket. If they were lucky enough to leave, they had no idea how they were going to leave.
"Is this the place?" Wu Shiyu looked around. Earlier on the ship, she had heard the basic details of the nightmare from Gu Jun.
In the nightmare, the patients would arrive at a deserted island. The surrounding forest was withered, the ground was littered with fallen leaves, and there was a mountain range in the distance.
"This is the place." Gu Jun nodded. He recognized the coast. "This is where the nightmare started."
However, they could not sense anyone around them. "Perhaps our arrival has been discovered, or perhaps not." Gu Jun said, "Let's get ready to go."
The clear sky did not change, but Huihu said, "A storm is coming." The old man's words were like gold. Every word was not to be underestimated.
If they were caught in a storm, they would really be falling into a swamp.
The two first ordered some supplies. They had enough food and water to last them for a few days, a medical kit, a kerosene lamp, and two weapons. They had sensed that these were two normal weapons. They did not possess any abnormal power, and they did not look like magical instruments.
The blade was about a meter long, and there were exquisite carvings on the hilt. The edge of the blade was not blunt, but it was not very sharp either. The bow was a wooden longbow, and it had the same style of carvings. Wu Shiyu did not know why he felt that these strange carvings were similar to cats.
Neither of them had received much training in cold weapons, and they did not know how to use bows and arrows. Wu Shiyu could barely draw the longbow.
He chose this just in case. If he needed to use a long-range weapon, he would at least have a bow.
As for the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan, Gu Jun felt that he had only cultivated less than one-third of the first chapter. Therefore, they still did not have much power.
"I don't know how far it is." He looked at the bleak and gloomy forest in front of him. He didn't have much consciousness in his dream. It seemed like he was floating in the past, but now he wasn't sure. He took out a roll of gauze from his medical bag and tore it into a rope. He tied it to Wu Shiyu's waist to prevent them from getting lost.
Then, the two of them walked into the forest one after another. As soon as they stepped into the forest, their surroundings were filled with darkness.
Gu Jun used a match that was also given by the old man to light up the kerosene lamp. The light illuminated a small area, and they could find their way through the twisted roots. He held the knife in one hand and the lamp in the other and continued to walk through the forest.
When they had walked about ten meters, they suddenly heard a rustling sound. The two of them turned to look in one direction, but they only saw dead trees.
"Did you hear that?" he asked softly.
"Yes," she said. "I also felt that it was not a human, but something else. I couldn't see clearly."
"Hmm …" Gu Jun tightened his grip on the knife, but he did not feel safe. The more complicated the island was, the more disadvantageous it was for them.
Moving forward in the pitch-black and strange jungle was a very taxing task for anyone.
The two of them walked in the direction of the mountain range. They did not know whether it was luck or not, but the tension in their hearts did not increase. After walking for about two hundred meters, they saw a white light in front of them. It seemed to be the end of the forest.
When they stepped out of the light, their surroundings returned to daylight. As they expected, they walked out of the forest and saw a nightmarish scene in the distance.
"That's it." Gu Jun said in a low voice. There was an old house standing at the foot of the mountain about fifty meters away. This time, he could see it clearly.
The old house was three stories tall, and it looked like it was made of wood. It took up about three to four hundred square meters, and its design was very strange. Due to the dilapidated state of it, he felt that it was the body of some giant monster. However, at this time, there was no sign of Old Dog Uncle or anyone else in front of the open door of the old house. There was only dead silence.
"What should we do?" Wu Shiyu looked at him. "We can't just walk over there, right?"
"Not at the moment." Gu Jun hesitated. "If the house is a trap, we will walk right into it."
The island was huge, and he had no idea what was going on in other places, so it would not be wise for him to wander around aimlessly.
If he had a mini missile launcher, he would try to blow up the old house. If Old Dog Uncle was inside, it would be best to blow him up.
But now, all he had was a wooden bow and some wooden arrows …
"I have an idea." Wu Shiyu said in a harsh tone. "Use some gauze dipped in kerosene and wrap it around the arrow. Then, light it up into a rocket and shoot it at the house. Aren't there some trees around the house? If they catch fire, we'll burn them all. "
"That's … not a bad idea." Gu Jun agreed. "But we should wait for now."
After all, there was no telling what would happen. Destroying the old house … they might only have one chance.
Gu Jun decided to wait. "If there are new patients from Eastern State, they should arrive at 3 am every day. I wonder what time it corresponds to here."
Would Old Dog Uncle show up at that time? Casting a spell to summon the dreamer?
After entering the dream world, they could no longer tell the time. Gu Jun had Wu Siyu keep an eye on the situation while he focused on practicing the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan. Gu Jun had Wu Siyu keep an eye on the situation while he focused on practicing the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan.
Time passed, but the sky was still white. This world appeared to have no day or night.
"Hey!" Wu Shiyu suddenly called out to Gu Jun in a hurry. "Look, look, many people are coming."
She had been paying attention to the old house and the forest. There was no movement from the old house, but suddenly, many shadows appeared from the edge of the forest. They did not seem to be able to see each other. They were all expressionless, and their footsteps were hazy and slow like they were having a nightmare.
Not long after, dozens of figures walked out, and among the people walking in front, there were some familiar figures.
Gu Jun had just recovered. When he saw the shadows, his heart squeezed, and his eyes widened.
Wang Ruoxiang, Cai Zixuan, they were all there.
There were also many people from Eastern State's Medical Department …
'What happened outside? Why, why have they all entered the nightmare?
