It was … a city in a dream.
It felt like a very special and interesting place, but in fact … it was not as special as Lin had expected. Instead, it felt very ordinary.
This place was called Wood Capital, an illusion formed in the creator's dream. The pompom looked down from the sky and saw thick trees. These trees were all hollow and had no roof, and some Skeletal Dragons could be seen living in them.
So there were many Skeletal Dragons living here, and almost all of them looked like hatchlings … How many Prophets did the creator make?
The pompom slowly lowered its altitude and flew into the city. It changed its appearance, completely turning itself into a Skeletal Dragon hatchling and blended in.
Although it could be done in the outside world, it was done in an instant here, so it was much more convenient …
There were many Skeletal Dragon hatchlings walking back and forth on the streets, and there were no big Skeletal Dragons among them. They lived here on their own.
This street was not like other cities. There were no dragons hawking their wares here, nor were there any exchanges. In fact, they did not have to do anything here, because as long as their bodies were still alive in the outside world, they could always stay in the dream. Moreover, this place looked like a safe zone, and there were no monsters or anything like that.
Therefore, these hatchlings seemed to be living a very leisurely life. Lin found that they were basically strolling around, and occasionally some of them would duel there. They would throw some weirdly colored light balls at each other to fight, and some did not seem to know how to throw light balls. But their physical abilities were stronger. They could run very fast. Or jump dozens of meters high.
Lin did not know what kind of mutation determined the different performance of their abilities, but they obviously could not use most of their abilities in the outside world.
There were no doors in the houses here, and she could directly see some of the hatchlings living inside. Their way of life was quite relaxed. Lin saw a hatchling wave its hands, and a large amount of food appeared in front of it, including fruits and meat.
If everything could be created with brainwaves, it would be very convenient …
Although they did not need to eat here. But in order to form a habit, the creator still had to let them learn to eat.
These hatchlings lived a very leisurely life here, but … it seemed that they could not live a leisurely life forever …
A group of hatchlings appeared in front of Lin, and they were discussing something.
"In a while, the nightmare will attack this place. Are you all ready?"
"Gah!" "Ready!" "I've been practicing for this moment!" "Why aren't you here yet?"
Some of the cubs were excited while others were terrified. One of the cubs said, "You guys … stop looking forward to it. This is not a good thing … During the last attack, many of our companions died … You guys came from the outside villages. You don't know how terrifying it is. "
"It attacks us regularly and kills all of our companions. No dragon has ever been able to defeat it … When you came here, you were excited because you heard the Educator say that this was a trial or something, right? In fact, this is just a dead competition. "
This cub looked rather 'old'. After hearing what it said, the other cubs were no longer as excited. Instead, they started to feel fear …
It seems that this place is periodically attacked by something called a nightmare? This was probably a method that the creator had specially made to 'select' the youngsters here.
Only those who could withstand the attack could survive.
However, Lin did not care too much about this. She just wanted to know where the king lived.
So far, she had not found any place where the king lived. In the end, this city was just a large area of treehouses. There might be a few thousand cubs living here, and the scale was not that big.
If that's the case, then it should be … Wait, this feeling …
Lin suddenly felt a very familiar feeling. This should be … a brain worm? With that in mind, Lin immediately had the pompom return to its original form and stealthily drifted towards the target location.
Is it down here? The pompom flew into a treehouse. There was nothing in the treehouse, but there was a large black hole in the ground. After looking around for a while, the pompom flew into the hole.
A few seconds after entering the dark hole, Lin felt the whole world suddenly light up. A wondrous scene appeared in the pompom's field of vision …
This place … was completely different from the 'normal' scenery outside.
This space seemed to be very large. Lin could not tell how big it was at all. It was like another world. There were countless tree roots here, and they crisscrossed everywhere the pompom could see.
Apart from the roots, everything else seemed to be unstable. Rocks, houses, water, and even the Skeletal Dragon's hatchlings were all floating slowly between the roots. The hatchlings could move forward slowly in the air after making a swimming posture.
This place was completely different from the outside. Lin saw a water sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters floating in front of her. There were some fish swimming in the water sphere.
However, these fish were also 'wooden' … It seemed that apart from the Skeletal Dragon, all the other 'creatures' here were made of wood. What was the purpose of the creator's creation?
Perhaps … it was a sign of something. The creator's creation of this place was probably not as simple as a place for the youngsters to 'live' … But it did not matter.
With that in mind, Lin had the pompom fly into this wondrous space. The pompom quickly shuttled through the floating creatures and headed in a certain direction.
Lin noticed that all the tree roots were connected to one place, and that place should be the 'central point' of this place. There was no place more suspicious than that. Perhaps that was where the King lived.
There were also quite a few Skeletal Dragon youngsters living here. Lin saw them going in and out of the floating houses. Some of the youngsters were even having a duel. Some of the youngsters seemed to be much stronger than the ones outside. Lin looked at two youngsters who were having a duel in the distance. They could release a large number of strange light spheres with a wave of their hands, or control some very large rocks to smash around. The loud noise they caused could be heard very far away.
This place seemed to be a place where only very powerful cubs could enter. But who knew what would happen to them if they were 'powerful' in here …?
"I'm tumbling in the water, tumbling, tumbling!"
Just as Lin was thinking this, she suddenly heard a familiar feeling. There was a water sphere next to her, and the brain worm was tumbling inside it …
Strange … Why was it here?
Lin immediately had the pompom reveal itself and sent a message to the brain worm: "Maya."
"Guru?" A few bubbles floated around the brain worm. It looked over and seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, it said to the pompom: "Do you want to tumble in with us? Come in, tumble in the water. "
… Although Lin did not expect the brain worm to be in this position, she had expected it to be a little abnormal. However, it did not seem to be doing anything out of the ordinary. It was just tumbling in the water.
With that in mind, Lin asked the brain worm directly: "Who are you?"
"I am … The Tumbler. Everything must tumble with me." After saying that, the Overmind Worm turned its body in a circle. All kinds of objects floated around it, and even the thick tree roots followed it in a circle. The Skeleton Dragon hatchlings that were flying around here were startled by this phenomenon.
"Keep tumbling, tumbling, tumbling …" After that, the brain worm continued to tumble in the water sphere as if nothing had happened.
This … seemed to be called 'cognitive suppression'.
Lin believed that after entering this dream, a part of the brain worm's thoughts might have been affected and suppressed. In fact, this was the case for many creatures who dreamt. Things that would be abnormal in reality would be normal in their dreams, and they wouldn't think about it or doubt it.
This was the result of part of their logical ability being suppressed. So that was the case. The brain worm did not go crazy nor was it 'bewitched' by its creator. It was just this simple situation?
If so … it would be easy to wake it up.
The pompom flew back to the brain worm's side. This time, Lin woke herself up and had the pompom release some brainwaves to the brain worm.
At this time, Lin entered the dream again. Lin saw that the brain worm was still rolling around in the water ball, but after rolling a few times, it suddenly stopped ….
"Why is it tumbling here?"
The brain worm was puzzled by the current situation. It then looked around and said: "Strange area, concluded: This is a dream."
"This is the dream of 'Earthly Fool'."
"Lin?" When the brain worm saw the pompom outside the water sphere, it immediately tumbled out of the water and said: "Why … in Earthly Fool's dream?"
As if the brain worm had forgotten something, Lin told it about how it suddenly stopped fighting Montezuma II.
"This won't do." The brain worm said: "We must wake up immediately and deal with Earthly Fool Montezuma!"
"There's no need to wake up so soon." Lin told the brain worm: "Now, we can attack Earthly Fool directly from here."
"Attack Earthly Fool?" The brain worm seemed to be very interested.
"Look around."
Hearing Lin's words, the brain worm looked around. In the next moment, there was a 'boom', and everything around them was completely engulfed in a raging inferno … This was heaven-defying.
