Chapter 274 Infinite Terror
Bai Qi asked Delta to find a hidden place to land, and then summoned out the other three pets.
His mission this time was reconnaissance, and there was no need to alert the enemy, so the Husky was the best choice. However, considering that there might be king-level creatures inside, it would be better to bring Alpha with him.
As for gamma, of course it is used to save lives.
Ahhhhh?
(Are they sleepwalking?)
Beta looked around and saw the ferocious beasts wandering around like zombies, and couldn't help feeling confused.
"Sleepwalking, isn't that a zombie?"
Zombies are also a type of undead, but because most of them are made of rotten flesh and emit toxic gases uncontrollably, almost no Undead Beastmaster would choose to make a contract with a zombie.
After all, you might be suffocated to death by the zombies before you can defeat the enemy.
"Probably not. My life status detector shows that although their vital signs are weak, they are still stable, and they are indeed dreaming."
Shuke also came to a conclusion after the scan, saying, "Although I don't know why they all sleepwalked, I suggest that you, Beastmaster, better be careful."
Bai Qi nodded, took the gas helmet from Shuke and put it on, then put Gamma on his shoulders, and then rode Delta carefully towards the valley.
Those wandering around the periphery were all low-level creatures, so they did not notice the approach of Bai Qi and others. Bai Qi even took the time to ask Alpha to send a few confused humans to a safe area outside.
But as they got closer to the valley, the beast's double level gradually increased. Although it had not yet woken up, it still instinctively launched an attack on Bai Qi and others.
"Alpha, be gentle."
Looking at the many ferocious beasts that were approaching them because of the noise, Bai Qi sighed helplessly and signaled Alpha to deal with it quickly.
Crunch.
(no problem.)
Alpha nodded and disappeared in a flash. The surrounding ferocious beasts immediately fell to the ground like wheat, leaving no room for resistance at all.
Click, click.
(There are so many ingredients, don’t waste them.)
After Alpha dealt with the enemy, Gamma consciously swung out its tentacles to pull back the corpses of the ferocious beasts and threw them directly into the secret base.
I have been obsessed with cooking recently, so I certainly cannot miss out on such fresh ingredients.
Huh?
(What’s that smell? It smells so good?)
At this moment, Beta suddenly stopped, sniffed, and felt an intoxicating fragrance wafting over. He couldn't help but take two more breaths.
Then, Beta fell asleep.
Sizzle...
Seeing Beta's appearance, Shuke shook his head speechlessly and released a strong electric current to wake him up.
"After testing, it was found that it is 57% similar to the pollen of Dream Vine. The remaining components are currently unknown, but it also has a hypnotic and hallucinogenic effect."
Shuke calmly analyzed the ingredients of these scents, and Bai Qi couldn't help but be glad that he had brought a gas helmet in advance.
If he hadn't brought it, perhaps he would have become like the others.
"But Beta, why didn't you react at all? Where's your mind-eye skill?"
Bai Qi patted Beta, somewhat puzzled.
Huh?
(Can I say that I don’t know either?)
Bai Qi frowned slightly. Ever since Beta's perception skill awakened to the mind's eye, his awareness of danger has greatly increased. After cooperating with Shuke, he can even predict the opponent's next move.
As a result, he was knocked unconscious without any reaction at all, which is really unbelievable.
Crunch.
(The stupid dog probably didn’t sense the hostility. The pollen didn’t seem to be controlled by any living creature. It had no purpose at all.)
Alpha was the first to give a guess, and Bai Qi suddenly realized it.
Indeed, if there is no deliberate targeting, the effect of the mind's eye skill will naturally not be fully exerted.
"But it's really embarrassing that you're the only one who got knocked out."
Bai Qi looked at Beta with disdain. Although Beta was a little unconvinced, he silently shut his mouth after seeing a few teammates.
A skeleton without a sense of smell or even a respiratory system, a slime monster that eats anything that comes its way, and an ancestral beast that can change its shape anytime and anywhere according to the external environment.
Oh yeah, and there's a metal lump.
Looking around, it seems that he is the only one who needs to breathe normally...
Fortunately, Shuke and he still had to share a body, so he put metal skin on Shuke. Beta also perked up and carefully explored the way ahead.
Finally, the man and four pets officially arrived in front of the valley.
Compared to the gloomy , the valley looks quite normal.
Flowers are everywhere, lush and green, a scene full of vitality.
But the more this happened, the more alert Bai Qi became.
Bai Qi looked at the images sent back by the reconnaissance bees sent out by Shuke, and did not find anything unusual, not even any signs of any living creatures.
“Without animals, there would only be plants.”
Thinking about Shuke’s previous report, although it was only half of the composition, since there was pollen of dream vine in those pollens, the strange creature lurking here was most likely the dream vine.
Unlike animal-type beasts, plant-type beasts are relatively quiet. Except for some supplements that can easily be mistaken for food, it is possible for some plant-type beasts to sleep for decades without moving.
And Dream Vine is one of them.
Bai Qi also knew about this as the main ingredient of the dream potion.
The dream vine, as its name suggests, not only its pollen can easily make people fall asleep, the vine itself also loves to sleep, so it is called the dream vine.
However, although this dream vine looks harmless to humans and animals, it is actually a real high-level lord, and is quite notorious even among ferocious beasts.
Although the dream vine is in a sleeping state most of the time, it still needs to find food when it is awake, and its means of attack naturally relies on dreams.
In dreams, there are good dreams and naturally there are also nightmares.
According to the information Bai Qi had found, some nightmare vines would use their skills to immerse the enemy in a nightmare, frightening them to death, and then drag them back to turn them into their own nutrients bit by bit.
Therefore, in the pet encyclopedia, dream vines are divided into two types. One is the sweet dream vine, which has a gentle personality and only likes to sleep, and the other is the nightmare vine, which has a brutal personality and likes to attack the enemy with nightmares.
Judging from the current situation, the cause of all these strange phenomena around might be a dream vine.
But he seemed to have never heard of anyone sleepwalking after being infected by the pollen of the dream vine. Could this be a mutant?
"Alpha, go check the situation inside. Be careful. This Dream Vine should be of a high level to be able to cover such a large area."
Crunch.
(Okay, I'll be right back.)
Alpha drew out the Sword of Death and slowly flew towards the valley.
Although the situation in the valley is still not very clear, Alpha's king-level bloodline is there, plus the two attributes of the Sword of Death and the Eternal Flame that completely defeat the plant-type. Even if it is not the Dream Vine but some other stronger creature, Alpha will not fail.
Woof woof?
(Why are the things outside suddenly coming here?)
Then, shortly after Alpha left, Beta suddenly growled towards the outside of the valley, and Shuke also raised his weapon and aimed at the ferocious beast outside.
“Have you started to consciously control it?”
Looking at the group of ferocious beasts rushing towards them, Bai Qi knew that the thing in the valley must have started to move.
"Shuke, are you sure there are humans inside?"
"According to the test, there are four humans in the beast team."
Looking at the several blue dots marked on the screen, Bai Qi patted Delta, who immediately understood. His body suddenly accelerated and disappeared directly into the void. In a few flashes, he took all the humans away from here.
"The hostages are safe. The beast has entered the attack range. Do you want to attack?"
"Go ahead."
Bai Qi nodded, and Shuke immediately understood. The Thunder Flame Cannon whizzed out and landed accurately on each ferocious beast. The aroma of barbecue gradually wafted into the valley.
Click, click.
(It looks delicious, Gama wants to eat it...)
Looking at the corpses of ferocious beasts around him that were roasted by the power of thunder and fire, Gamma suddenly felt his appetite increase. He stretched out a few tentacles to pull back several "roasted meats" nearby, and then swallowed them whole. Within a few seconds, Gamma directly decomposed them into the most primitive energy and stored them in the Twin Seal.
"Gama's teeth are getting better and better."
Bai Qi smacked his lips, looking at the corpse of the ferocious beast that was swallowed by Gama without even a hair left, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In other words, he has a simple heart. If he were to become a bandit someday, regardless of other things, his skill in destroying corpses and covering up traces would definitely be the best in the industry.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Just when Bai Qi was about to remind Gamma not to waste the resources of the ferocious beasts, Bai Qi suddenly felt a fine vibration in his ears, and then he felt dizzy, and his vision became blurry.
Is this feeling a mental shock?
Realizing something was wrong with him, Bai Qi immediately concentrated and forcibly resisted the dizziness coming from his mind, but after he stood firm, he found that the scene in front of him had changed.
The original valley disappeared, replaced by a dense forest. In front of Bai Qi was a huge lake. The calm lake surface was as beautiful as crystal under the moonlight.
Not only that, the Husky and Gamma who were originally guarding Bai Qi also disappeared, leaving Bai Qi alone in the huge forest.
"What is this? Am I also a victim?"
Bai Qi pinched his face hard and felt a sharp pain, but the scene around him did not change.
Sure enough, it is a lie to say that you can wake up by pinching yourself when you are dreaming.
But when did he get infected?
With the gas mask on, pollen is unlikely, so could it be that strange vibrating sound?
Bai Qi had some vague guesses in his mind and was planning to meditate to see if he could break out of the dream by force.
If it was just a dream, his body would definitely be protected by Gamma and the others, so there was no need to worry. But if he couldn't get rid of the dream, it would be very troublesome.
But before Bai Qi could get away, the lake surface in front of him, which was originally as calm as crystal, suddenly began to ripple.
Then, in Bai Qi's astonished eyes, a sturdy man wearing a hockey mask and holding a machete slowly walked out of the lake.
Crystal Lake.
Hockey mask.
Machete.
Jason the killer?
Infinite horror?!
I am so mad!!!
