The fog blurred the surroundings but it replaced the darkness of the ocean.
"Is … is it over …" The Zoog looked around suspiciously. Gu Jun's group was still there but the House of Worm was nowhere to be seen. The last thing he saw was the thousand-eyed worm exploding into pieces amidst its mad screams. The falling eyes were like a blizzard.
Then the great gloom came to an abrupt end, and it became what it was now.
Everyone also felt different. The suffocating stench from before had dissipated along with the fog, and fresh air flowed into their lungs like a sweet spring.
Everyone was still there. Gold was still hugging the heavily injured Ma Feng while Gu Jun was gasping for air while holding the two needles in his hands …
He was also looking around, but he could no longer hear the voices of those who had passed away, nor could he see their eyeballs.
But at the same time, he could hear a different kind of call, it felt like someone was calling him. 'Is this … the call of the Dreamland Team? Wang Ruoxiang? '
Suddenly, the Zoog saw something. He patted himself as he raced forward, "Village leader, village leader, help me!"
The group saw a group of Zoogs hiding sneakily beside a tree in the direction it was headed towards. Gu Jun knew the Zoogs lived in groups based on villages. The elders of the village were the elders and the 'village leader' was an Elder Zoog. He was not as old as the elders of the Zoogs in the Enchanted Forest but he was still quite old.
Seeing the Zoogs were about to escape, Gu Jun had to yell, "Stop!"
The Elder Zoog skidded to a stop and so did the rest of the Zoogs. Some staggered. The name of this nightmare man had spread throughout the tribe.
"Haha." The Elder Zoog had lived on the Kaar Plains for so many years that he had seen many things. He knew who he could cross and who he could not. The Elder Zoog hurried forward, "Mr. Nightmare Man, Kaar Plains welcomes you."
This was the first time Lou Xiaoning had seen so many Zoogs. She was impressed by the size of the rats.
"What about the House of Worm?" Gu Jun asked. "Where did it go?"
Not only was the gloomy manor gone, but the black moss and trees on the ground were also gone. It was as if they had returned to the other side of the boundary, but there was no sign of the manor in the distance. On the grass beside them, there was pus.
Gu Jun knew that the Thousand-eyed Worm was not the House of Worm. The former was an incarnation of the cultists who sacrificed themselves to the House of Worm.
Even if the Thousand-eyed Worm was destroyed, the House of Worm would not disappear just like that.
"What's the situation?" The Elder Zoog still had no idea what had happened. The Elder Zoog patted his head and said, "Mr. Nightmare Man, I cannot be sure but I have heard some rumors. You have temporarily closed the doors of the House of Worm to your world. "
Gu Jun raised a brow, signaling for the Elder Zoog to elaborate.
"The power behind the House of Worm is a mystery to me as well. Most adventurers come here to plunder power, but this place has its own rules. However, the House of Worm has its own rules, and what you have done today … is a violation of these rules, so the House of Worm will not accept your sacrifices and requests for the time being. Or rather, as long as you are from your world, you will not be able to find the House of Worm here. "
Seeing the frown on their faces, the Elder Zoog was unsure of their attitude. "It is indeed a pity …"
"Pity?" Lou Xiaoning sneered and spat. "That's exactly what we want."
The existence of the House of Worm was a huge threat to any world.
This was because the place could be used by the cultists to create a world-ending disaster. There was no need for the sky to fall or the stars to fall, all they needed was to strengthen a virus to a level that humanity could not handle.
If Earth was blacklisted by the House of Worm, it would be great news for them, it would be a fruitful trip for them.
"How long do you mean temporarily?" Gu Jun was not overjoyed. "Will it open to us anytime soon? A year? A few years? "
"Erm …" The Elder Zoog scratched his head. "A few years is not possible. Time is important to us but it is meaningless to some forces. A few years is not even the blink of an eye. It will take at least a few decades, a few centuries, or even longer … "
Only then did Gu Jun relax a little. Some thoughts flashed through his mind.
In other words, the House of Worm would not be a weapon dealer for the cultists for a while. In the future, they only needed to pay close attention to whether the House of Worm was open to humans and have the Zoog notify them. Other than the House of Worm, whether the cultists had other options was another matter.
The most important thing now was to deal with this plague.
'Has the new strain of bacteria lost its supernatural power? What's the situation on the other side? '
Gu Jun could not answer any of these questions and he had no idea how much time had passed.
He turned to ask the Elder Zoog, "A few of our friends have gone missing, have you seen them?"
"We did see a few people lying on the ground …" The group panicked.
The group panicked. Gu Jun had the Elder Zoog lead them over and left with the med kit. They ran through the fog for a short distance before they saw a group of people lying on the ground next to a small tree. They were Uncle Dan, Li Meijia, and the rest of the missing members.
All eight of them had wounds on their limbs but none of their stomachs had been ruptured. The one who suffered the heaviest injury was Ma Feng.
"Ah Jun …" Uncle Dan was still conscious. His left lower limb was covered in blood and it seeped through his tattered pants.
"What happened?" Lou Xiaoning asked urgently.
"We've been tricked …" Uncle Dan tried to act relaxed but his pale face could not hide the pain. "Just as you left, the space shifted. Many limbs crawled out from the ground. I fired immediately but I was still pulled down. Then it felt like I was trapped inside a pile of dead bodies. I thought I was already dead …"
Gu Jun instantly understood. There was no dividing line. It was this environment that had been trying to break down their mental defense.
When they were inside the wall of corpses, Ma Feng was not the only one, Uncle Dan and the rest were there as well.
If not for the thousand-eyed worm being defeated, Uncle Dan and the rest would have been dead already …
But now Gu Jun looked at the injured. They all needed emergency treatment but he could not handle them alone. Suddenly, something rang in his mind, bringing with it a flash of inspiration. Was it the call of the Dream Team? I heard the Dreamers can touch things in Dreamlands. Monitor and the rest are here to help. '
"I'm here." He replied mentally. He tried to connect with Wang Ruoxiang's sweet dream in his mind. "Monitor, monitor! I'm here, come help me! "
Suddenly, the group and the Zoog saw some shadows appear around Gu Jun. They shimmered and slowly solidified.
