Chapter 268: The Island in the Dream
"Alka and Lucelia were caught?" Jason asked Simon beside him while running wildly.
Simon nodded, and constructs kept flying out of his hands and stopped in various places on the island.
Juanlu also followed them.
The three of them gathered together as they made their way to shore.
"Xia Daiti has also been caught." Simon said. He just heard Xia Daiti's voice, but did not see Xia Daiti following him.
After all, Xia Daiti's speed should be their fastest.
Apparently she was caught too.
The distorted changes in their surroundings forced them to slow down, and at the same time they became more worried about the safety of Alka and the others.
On the other side, Julia Porollo and Mathilda were gathered together and also quickly fled towards the shore.
The distorted changes around her made Julia frown.
“There is something wrong with this island.”
"Wasn't it that bad guy who did it?" asked Mathilda.
She thought it was the general launching an attack to slow down their escape.
Julia shook her head. "No, it's the changes on the island itself. That's why I felt strange after arriving on the island."
Then she suddenly stopped and stopped running away.
As she stopped, the two people following her stopped instantly.
"What's wrong? Do you want to go back and save them? We can't defeat them. Go back to the boat first, reunite with them, and then think of a way." Porro said quickly while standing in place.
The crisis situation made his brain start working quickly.
If they went back to rescue, they would only fall into a trap.
But if they run away, it might increase the chances of Alka and the others surviving.
The more people who escape, the greater the chance of survival.
"No, we can't escape either ."
She could already sense that the island and the surrounding sea were being dragged into something strange.
This place is decoupling from its surroundings.
This place has been blocked off.
This is the area where Alka and the others are at this time.
The rapid distortion of the surroundings made the general stop in his tracks.
Even the pressure given to Alka and the others was being withdrawn.
It seems like he wants to preserve more strength to deal with the unknown.
Alka was still controlling the pink mist that was sprayed out by the Dreamcatcher.
Such behavior made the general, who was already extremely irritated by the huge change in the surrounding environment, turn around.
"Since you don't want to stop, I'll be you!"
The general's face was gloomy. He stood there and pinched Alka hard, killing him without hesitation.
The enormous force caused Alka's entire body to begin to deform and compress, and then twist into a lump.
Alka was twisted into a ball and fell to the ground like a piece of meat.
The blood, flesh and mud gathered together on the ground and spread out in all directions.
He has now become Altan.
Balazs, watching this scene, looked up at the sky with a look of despair on his face.
As for the exaggerated changes brought about by the surrounding environment, it doesn’t matter anymore.
The general looked at the changes around him with a heavy expression.
He couldn't understand why Alka's death didn't make the changes go away.
He could feel the change, which seemed to be related to the dream.
He thought it was caused by the pink mist coming out of Alka.
Changes caused by controlling treasures like this should .
At this moment, the blood and flesh residues covering the ground disappeared as if refreshed, and Alka appeared in its place without any change.
Everyone was surprised when Alka suddenly came back to life.
However, Alka did not wait, a mirror had already appeared on his face, and mirrors also condensed on the heads of Lucilia and Xiadaiti.
These mirrors were gleaming with pink light and were surrounded by red mist.
It smashed down like a hammer, covering them directly and disappearing.
A mirror had already appeared in Alka's mind, and it disappeared with him.
Seeing Alka and the others escape successfully, Balazs' eyes widened with despair.
How is this done?
Can it be resurrected?
Even if it was a treasure, he had never heard of it having the ability to resurrect.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at General Kriel beside him.
The general had a gloomy look on his face at this time. Facing Alka and others who disappeared and escaped, he did not pay much attention to them, but looked at the changes around him.
As the changes in the surroundings became more and more obvious, he also realized what kind of problem had arisen here.
He no longer had the energy to pay attention to Alka, as a bigger problem had arisen.
"Here... I've been dragged into a dream, damn it!"
There was an expression of surprising anger and helplessness on his face.
"Dream?" Balazs repeated beside him.
What was that? Was it a dream?
The general was no longer in the mood to explain. He rubbed his hands, and the bird made up of lines flew quickly away.
All the soldiers who had just left and had not gone far were called back.
…
Alka and the others appeared a few hundred meters away, and the moment they appeared, the three of them fled quickly.
A ring of light appeared on Xia Daiti's forehead, and the surroundings fell into pure darkness in an instant.
A restrictive measure to prevent the enemy from catching up quickly.
After a while, they ran several kilometers away in this twisted place.
The sea can be seen in the distance.
But at this time, Alka, who was running away, frowned and then stopped where he was.
"What are you doing? Run?" Lucilia said loudly.
"No need, he didn't catch up with us, and he can't escape." Alka shook his head as he looked at the changes around him.
At this moment, the whole world has become completely bizarre.
The daytime light in the sky turned into a distorted glow, as if all kinds of glowing paints and pigments were randomly splashed in the sky.
From the distortion of light and shadow, you can see a scene that looks like clouds, the sun, and the sky.
The ground beneath their feet was undulating and distorted like oil on the water, and it was also emitting sickening colors.
The flowers, plants, trees and everything around us are changing.
A black bird made of light and shadow flew past him.
Looking at the bird flying by, Alka's face became completely gloomy.
"Isn't this...isn't this a bird of light and shadow?" Lucelia looked at the bird flying past them in surprise.
Xia Daiti also felt the changes around him that he had felt and experienced in his dreams before.
He turned to look at Alka.
"What's going on?"
At this time, Alka's face was heavy, and he said solemnly: "This is why this island is strange."
“Last night after I fell into a deep sleep, the reason why I didn’t tell them about the plan in my dream was not because I didn’t want to, but because I couldn’t even get out of my dream bubble.
There is a powerful being in the dream world of this area, and all dream bubbles that appear in this area will be absorbed by him. "
"The reason why Julia felt that the environment of this island was strange, and why I felt at ease on this island, was because the barrier between dreams and reality had long been smoothed out here."
These are what Alka noticed last night when he infused pink energy into the overlapping space.
But it didn’t feel clear at the time.
Until Kriel broke the space and let the dream fog inside slip out.
Only then will the changes be fully revealed.
That's why Alka later spewed out pink mist crazily.
"This island and its surroundings are being rapidly dragged into a dream. These bizarre changes are the result of the chaos created by the fusion of reality and dreams."
After saying that, Alka pointed in the direction they were just about to escape.
"Look, are we fleeing in the right direction?"
The two turned to look.
Behind them, there was a slightly raised slope and the sea surface was completely invisible.
It was clearly there just now.
Everywhere they looked was the island's land. The distorted land and the changes that had taken place around them made them feel a little dizzy.
I couldn't help wanting to vomit.
“The direction in the dream is roughly opposite to reality, and now they are mixed together. The direction has already changed, because the chaos is still changing.
Moreover, the scope of the island has been expanded.”
Dreams are distorted and abstract.
At this time, the surrounding soil and tree stumps also became stable in the twisting, and stabilized into the twisted shape, no longer shaking like before.
The overly exaggerated colors began to fade, and the disgusting distortions began to disappear.
The elements of the dream stabilized.
“Steady, this area is being dragged into the dream at a steady pace.
We are now traveling between reality and dreams, sinking rapidly."
As he was speaking, a monster appeared nearby.
The image is composed of three black shadow arms, which are connected to each other and look extremely grotesque.
Alka looked at the shadowy creature.
A pink spear condensed in his hand and was thrown directly over by him.
One blow pierced the arm.
This time there was no need for the pink spear to include it as a trophy, it shattered directly.
A strange diamond-shaped metal fell to the ground, and some dream energy dissipated.
The thing fell next to Xia Daiti, and he bent down to pick it up.
"So what should we do now?" Xia Dai asked.
They can't just do nothing, after all, there is a powerful enemy chasing them.
"Although I understand, I have never actually experienced such a thing." Alka said helplessly.
"Because this is not a naturally occurring weakness in reality, but rather something that is intentionally created by humans."
"Man-made?" Lucelia asked in surprise.
Alka nodded and said, "That's right, because I deliberately released a large amount of dream mist to cause this weakness.
But this place had already become a flammable fire, and it was already soaked with fuel oil.”
"I just became that spark, but as I burned, I realized that this place had already become a weak point, but someone had deliberately hidden it."
If he hadn't deliberately triggered it, this weakness would have remained hidden until someone came and triggered it.
It's just that Alka made the first move.
There was no way out. Alcardo had no control over the situation at that time.
"But this dragging will not last forever. Once the island is completely dragged into the dream, it will quickly return to reality."
Alka has been traveling in the dream world for so long, plus the information given by the dream catcher.
According to the information we know, real objects have never appeared in the dream world.
Most of the time dreams invade reality.
When reality falls into dreams, it will be rejected by dreams.
Not to mention such a large island.
As for whether the creatures on the island can survive, that has nothing to do with Meng Jing.
The desire of dream creatures for real life is incomprehensible, especially for intelligent creatures in reality.
The spiritual energy and soul in the brain are what dream creatures dream of.
Because dream bubbles are the product of rest for the mind and soul.
The main force of the attack is naturally the shadow creatures.
The weak points where dreams invade reality are easy to repair and are usually only on a small scale.
When reality invades dreams, it has to completely invade them before dreams can begin to rebound, that is, to repair themselves like reality.
But now the island is still being towed and is still in the gap.
So the restoration of the dream has not yet begun.
But the dream is already starting to have an impact because it is so intrusive.
"Then all we have to do is wait?" Xia Daiti asked from the side.
Alka shook his head: "Not really, the danger begins after being completely immersed in the dream.
If it were in another dream realm, I would be confident that I could keep everyone safe, but that's obviously not the case here, so we'd better find a way to hide."
"Why?"
"Remember what I just said, there is a dream creature in this area that is so powerful that I can't even get out of the bubble."
"This island happens to be related to dreams. You even said that such a problem was deliberately caused by someone. And the dream area corresponding to it happens to have a powerful dream creature."
Xia Daiti murmured, then frowned at Alka: "Don't you think that the situation on this island is too coincidental?
And think about it, the one who wants to come to this island to look for treasure is the royal general. "
No matter how you look at it, there seems to be a deeper problem here, and it is obviously not something they can handle.
What they thought was an ordinary treasure hunt seemed to have led them into a terrifying area.
I thought I was just being used as a temporary pawn, but I ended up being drawn into a deeper conspiracy.
Alka nodded. "I did think about this. I even suspected that it was the former Kilian who did it."
The two looked at Alka with confusion, waiting for his answer.
Xia Daiti was just raising questions; she knew too little about dreams.
"That general kept saying that he wanted Kirlian's treasure, but it's strange, right? Why would he want a holy grail-level treasure?"
"I already noticed when he made his move just now. He has two treasures."
This is easy to detect, and once magic is used violently, it can be easily observed.
The magical fluctuations emitted by the ability to use treasures during battle are extremely obvious.
Especially when using the abilities of treasures.
Just like when Alka used the dream mist plus the mirror, the other party could see it at a glance.
Alka could see the same thing.
The invisible attack he had been using was based on one of the treasures, and Alka had always thought that this was the only treasure he had.
Until he broke the space into pieces and stabilized the process of space breaking.
Only then did Alka feel the aura of the second treasure.
The reason why I didn't feel it when I was teleported here must be that some similar device was used.
Coupled with his sudden appearance, Alka suspected that the second treasure should be a treasure related to space teleportation.
"Could it be possible that these two treasures were inherited from the royal family? Without some capital, how could one occupy the Signpost Island?"
Alka said and the two nodded in agreement.
"He also said before that the treasure he wanted to find also came from the royal family, so it is very likely that this treasure is also a matching one."
"This way, you can control the three treasures."
This is one of the reasons why it is totally worth thinking about.
After all, the more treasures you have, the more difficult it becomes to find suitable treasures to match them, and the difficulty increases exponentially.
"That's not right." Xia Daiti said doubtfully.
"If that's the case, their family would never be exiled. We will definitely try every possible way to make them hand over the treasure."
How could an exiled family take care of this combination that is like the foundation?
No matter what you do, you won't let it fall into the hands of losers, who may even become your enemies in the future.
If you think about it carefully, you can find a huge problem here.
"Yes, that's the reason, that's why I said he might have other purposes for coming here.
And if that were the case, he would never have allowed us to touch the treasures at that time."
As Alka spoke, he raised his hand, and a round coin appeared in his palm.
It is neither a silver snake nor a golden sail.
Instead, it was an ordinary silver coin with an unknown beautiful female head engraved on one side and a burning terrifying skull on the other.
This is the one that Alka secretly hid when he touched the coins. The reason why he took it was because it was covered with golden light.
This was also Alka's sudden idea.
If it was any other treasure, it would be difficult for him to hide it by some means and take advantage of the opportunity to get it.
But it happened to be a coin that was almost the same size as the silver snake.
"Could this be..." Xiadaiti looked at what Alka was holding.
The coin looked ordinary and there seemed to be nothing special about it.
But it was specially brought out by Alcatel and has such mediocre features.
Then it is very likely that...
"Yes, it's just as you thought. This is the treasure. I hid it secretly when I touched those coins before."
It would be very easy for a magician to hide this coin without anyone noticing, purely by sheer skill, without using any magic.
In order to avoid being noticed, Alka didn't use any magic at all.
“So if he came for this treasure, it’s impossible that he didn’t know that this treasure looks like a coin.
Knowing this, it is naturally impossible for us to touch the treasure, after all, the most common thing in it is coins.
And if he came for the treasure, you and I, we both used the treasure, a total of three.
He was happy that my treasure was related to the dream, not that we had so many treasures. "
