Chapter 338: The Changing Fragrant Town
This thing should be considered the divine essence of the flower of heaven.
Alka thought as she looked at the energy sphere in front of her.
Alka already has some experience with the divine essence, including how to better preserve it.
It won't be as chaotic as the first time, when Juanlu was in trouble.
A faint magical power emanated from his hands, wrapping around the surface of the divine essence.
It was like coating the essence of divinity with a layer of film, wrapping up the energy. Then Alka gently stretched out his hand and took the round energy sphere in his hand.
Just like treasures, this kind of thing cannot be put into a pocket ring.
There's even the possibility of turning your pocket ring into a treasure.
This is definitely not a good idea.
A metal box appeared in his hand. This kind of box was once the container used by Alka and his friends to store treasures when they were in the Home Sea.
Put the ball in and then seal the box.
Alka carried it on his back.
He looked at the surrounding environment and slowly exited the dream.
The people on the boat only saw a slight ripple in the portal, and Alka walked back from the membrane.
After coming out, Alka stretched out his hand and shook it.
The door to the dream world dissipated, and a trace of gold and silver energy returned to Alka's body, which was the remaining energy that had not been consumed.
"Did you get it?"
Alka patted the box behind him and nodded.
"Let's go back."
Jason nodded, turned the boat around and began to head back in the direction they came from.
"Such a simple commission is a bit unreal, just like traveling." Jason said while leaning on the boat.
They were basically just running along, relying mainly on Alka's ability to enter dreams.
Holding things is almost no difficulty, at least for them.
"Okay, let's go back."
Alka said with a smile.
Although the journey was not very peaceful, there was basically no trouble for them, except for the one they encountered when returning to the village.
But that just ruined their mood.
On the return voyage, Simon turned the power of the rear propeller to maximum.
The Feiyan seemed to be running wildly on the sea.
The sea surface was cut by the bow, and water splashed to both sides.
Simon also had to reinforce the bow of the Flying Swallow to prevent vines or bones from blocking its way and damaging the Flying Swallow.
…
On the return voyage, we sped all the way.
It took them less than three days.
They passed through the pirate village that they had burned down earlier.
At this time, the place had turned into ashes, with only some collapsed wooden piles and bamboo pieces still floating on top.
Many skeletons have completely sunk to the bottom of the water.
These fish are very dedicated as they have been staying in this area for years to eat the corpses because of the bloody massacres committed by these pirates.
They ate their former breeders clean.
There is no environmental pollution at all, instead it has returned to nature.
This should be the only use these scumbags can give after their death.
Stopped next to the green belt.
Simon had no choice but to dismantle the thrusters.
The Feiyan returned to its normal speed and slowly circled out of the area.
Before dark, they finally arrived at the Gray Vine Fortress.
Before they reached the fortress, they saw a few small figures waving at them on the wall made of vines.
As soon as the ship arrived at the fortress, the figures jumped off impatiently and hugged their sisters.
These were the two teams of puppet girls that Alka had asked to escort the women and children.
Waiting for them on the shore at this moment was still the soldier captain who had received them before.
After seeing Lord Alka moor the boat and walk up, the captain of the soldiers came over and bowed solemnly before Alka and the others.
"Thank you all, thank you for everything you have done for the people of flowers. May the flower fairies bless you."
The captain's expression was one of unusual seriousness and admiration.
Alka just nodded and smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake."
The captain nodded, looked at Alka and the others' slightly tired faces and said quickly: "You all must be tired, I will take you to a place to rest."
Soon he brought Alka and the others to the rooms where they had rested before.
It's very clean and tidy inside.
Soon, steaming hot meals were served to them.
Although they were traveling very fast these days, they did not get enough rest at night. Although they were in good physical condition, they were still a little tired after the long and fast return voyage.
After the meal, they expressed their gratitude and fell into a deep sleep.
After about 4 hours, Alka slowly opened his eyes.
He also fell asleep in his own dream, and his fatigue and spirit were fully restored.
Then he closed his eyes again.
But this time he no longer sank into his own dream bubble, but used his dream clone to sink into the dream of this place at this moment.
For safety reasons, Alka did not enter the dream in the area where the giant trees lived. He was afraid that the dream god with a not-so-smart brain might be lurking around him there.
After all, he just has a bad brain, and being a little crazy doesn't mean he's stupid.
As he sank into the dream.
Surrounding them were densely packed dream bubbles stacked together, which came from the soldiers in the fortress.
Through these bubbles, Alka looked forward.
The dream area in the distance was filled with black fog, and there were many dark shadow creatures wreaking havoc in the area.
There are very few misty creatures around here, and even fewer light and shadow creatures.
As Alka arrived here, the dark shadow creatures around who were trying to destroy the dream bubble quickly fled after seeing him.
The whole person moved quickly in the dream and soon arrived at the edge of the area covered with black fog.
A-Ka looked at the wall made of thick black fog. It was almost exactly the same as the black fog used by the god who called himself the Nightmare of Fear that he had seen before.
It is certain that this god, who has not yet completely fallen, should be in the dream world of the giant tree habitat.
When Alka approached this area, many dark shadow creatures around him did not dare to get close to Alka, but still stayed in the area where Alka could see.
Although these shadowy creatures had no eyes, Alka could feel that they were looking at him.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at the dark creatures surrounding him in the distance.
Wherever Alka's eyes went, these shadowy creatures involuntarily shrank back.
Alka frowned as he looked at the creatures.
The strength of these shadow creatures is mostly at the third stage and above, and there are also several at the fourth stage.
It is a very powerful dream creature.
The black fog gathered around is related to the nightmare god.
It is almost certain that, in addition to the so-called fear, the prototype of the god should also be highly related to these shadow creatures.
Probably a god similar to a shadow creature?
Alka couldn't help but think so.
After all, although Alka did not obtain much information from the fragments of the god's divinity, he roughly knew that gods in dreams were not rare.
Just as the flower fairy and the two gods who were in equally bad condition said, the former owner of the fragment of divinity that Alka ate was a god who guarded the gate between dreams and reality.
The shadow creature has the strongest desire for destruction among the three creatures in the dream.
According to Alka's current understanding of the dream world, once there is a weak point between reality and dreams, the shadow creatures will rush forward the fastest.
These dark shadow creatures are also the ones that hate life the most.
That's why the nightmare wanted to enter reality.
According to him, the former owner of the fragment of the godhead had stopped him many times.
It seems that it is not what I thought.
The owner of this fragment of divine nature should not be a weak being.
At least stronger than the god of this shadow creature.
"roar!"
An angry roar suddenly came from the black fog.
Hearing this roar, Alka quickly stepped back.
A figure rushed out from the dark room, staring at Alka but did not attack rashly. Instead, he stayed where he was, looking alert.
This is a monster that looks somewhat like a self-supporting crocodile, with black shadows on its body burning and fluttering like flames.
A fifth-stage shadow creature.
Alka could sense that the shadowy creature was wary of him and also somewhat afraid of him, even though they were at the same stage.
But fortunately, at least it’s not the god in the dream.
After thinking for a while, a pink spear condensed in Alka's hand and he threw it out with force.
The moment it saw the pink spear, the shadow creature turned around and fled without saying a word.
The light pink spear was more lethal to dream creatures than he thought.
Under Alka's control, the black shadow spear that appeared had directly pierced through the monster's leg.
A large amount of pink mist gushed out and began to envelope.
This black shadow creature was also extremely decisive. The part that was covered by the fog fell off directly, and he went straight into the black fog.
The shadowy creatures that were watching from a distance retracted their bodies at the same time, and no monster in the black fog dared to look at Alka.
The pink mist enveloped the detached part of the black mist and returned to Alka's hand.
Alka looked at the pink ball of cloud in his hand, then looked at the completely empty film of black mist around him.
"It seems that my identity as a hunter is quite intimidating to the creatures in the dream world."
Alka couldn't believe that he was already standing outside the film of black mist, but the god who called himself Nightmare didn't sense him.
Either his condition was really bad, or he was afraid to face himself in his dream.
Even though his strength in the dream might only be at the fifth level.
But Alka didn't have the courage to go into the black fog to check.
This is equivalent to entering someone else's place.
It seems I have to ask Yingpao later.
This light and shadow creature, whose strength is at the sixth stage, knows much more than himself.
Thinking of this, Alka returned to reality.
As for the pink sphere that partly wrapped the black shadow, it had already been broken open, but there was nothing inside.
Alka regained consciousness and got up and walked out of the room.
The curtain outside has been torn down.
It was time for them to make their final return journey.
After bidding farewell to the soldiers in the fortress, Alka and the others continued to return as quickly as possible.
"By the way, how are the women and children who were rescued?" Alka suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Xia Daiti said, "They have been escorted back to their former hometown by the soldiers in the fortress."
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
"After returning this time, will you continue to look for that evil cult member of the Nafas family or do you have other goals?"
Hearing this, Alka thought about it.
Said: “After handing the things over to the Flower Fairy, we will look for the trace of the cult member while improving our strength.
Let’s talk about it after we reach the fourth stage, our strength is still a little too weak.”
Hearing Alka's words, everyone nodded.
That's the truth.
In this boundless ocean, the strength of the third stage can only be said to have a certain self-protection ability.
Only at the fourth or fifth stage can one be considered to have established a foothold in the vast ocean and no longer be a small shrimp that can be easily crushed by others.
Only when one reaches the sixth stage can one be considered to have entered the ranks of the strong and possess the strength to become the leader of a force.
They still returned at full speed.
And because the environment in this area of the Land of Spirits was relatively good, there were almost no obstacles.
It only took a few days for them to see the tall flower forest in the fragrant land from afar.
Xia Daiti, who was driving the boat, rubbed his shoulders.
"It's finally here. I can have a good rest this time."
The quick return, coupled with the fact that Feiyan had to be operated manually, was really troublesome.
As soon as we arrived here, the whole area became much more lively.
After parking the boat directly in the warehouse on the shore, everyone walked on the street.
They were away for about a month in total.
During this month, there is no trace of the previous chaos in the Fragrant Land.
Although some of the rooms and locations of Hualin have changed slightly, they seem to be no different from before.
It's still as lively here as before.
Everyone came to the side of the hotel.
Watching them come in, a somewhat chubby middle-aged man trotted over.
A signature smile appeared on his friendly face.
"A few friends need accommodation?"
Alka looked at the fat middle-aged man. He seemed to have never seen him before. Was he a relative of the lady boss? Or someone else?
I couldn't help but ask, "Where is the boss lady from before?"
"Ah, you mean Miss Meral."
Alka nodded.
This seems to be the name of Lasemi's sister.
The boss's expression was somewhat sad.
“Miss Meral transferred this place to me. I heard that her brother died in the chaos a month ago.
She seems to be training to join the Knights of Flowers."
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
No more words to say.
He said directly: "The innermost flower forest is the connected rooms. Is anyone living there? If not, we'll book it."
Hearing this, the boss did not answer immediately, but looked at Alka and others curiously, and then saw the puppet girls playing outside the door.
He patted his head in sudden realization.
"It's you. It turns out it's you."
He walked up to Alka with a grateful look on his face, held Alka's arms with both hands and shook them wildly.
"Thank you, thank you. You are my benefactors. Come, come, I will take you there."
With an excited look on his face, he led Aka and the others towards the innermost flower forest.
"Thanks to you, thanks to these little girls, my daughter was saved by them. If it weren't for you, my God, I can't even imagine it."
The boss showed a look of fear on his face.
Then he thanked Aka and the others along the way and told them about his situation.
It seems that he was out doing business when the chaos occurred.
Can only wait until the next day to come back.
But his daughter and wife live in the Land of Fragrance, and his daughter was rescued by the puppet girls during the last chaos.
It was because of this chaos that he settled down in the Land of Fragrance.
"You can treat this place as your temporary home and stay as long as you want. It's free. It's my honor to let you all live here."
The boss said this with a somewhat excited expression.
The gratitude in his eyes was genuine.
Then, before Alka and the others could answer, he waved his hand and an employee ran over.
"Keqi, your job now is to wait around here for orders. If these adults need anything, it's up to you.
If there is anything you don’t have, come to me.”
The employee glanced at Alka and nodded.
Finally, the boss smiled at Alka and others and waved his hand.
"I'll take my leave first. There's no one guarding the door yet. I hope you enjoy your stay here."
Looking at the boss's back.
Alka opened his mouth slightly as if to say something, but then closed it again.
Xia Daiti smiled and said, "This boss is really enthusiastic."
