Chapter 859 Nightmare Dream

Feeling the power of controlling everything, Witch Dushan was content to withdraw her attention. She loved this feeling now. In the nightmare dream, she was an omnipotent god. Everything was under her control. All the souls in this dream were her toys. They had to accept her control and tremble under her supreme power.

And if you want to get more and stronger power, you must have more souls, especially the souls of the Leathermen.

Her sisters actually regarded defeating the Tukan army as more important than dealing with themselves.

Witch Dushan couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. The more time they spent in Lake Asen, the better. The more souls she harvested in Moshantir City, the stronger the power of the Shadow Nightmare Tree, and the more conducive to the development of her subsequent plans.

Sooner or later, there will be a day when she will make them regret the decision they made today, but not now.

The eyes on the Shadow Nightmare Tree closed again, which meant that Witch Dushan was once again focused on the things in the nightmare dream.

What is embarrassing now is that she had previously overestimated her ability with the nightmare dream, and took in too many souls of the Leathermen at one time, which made her feel a little indigestion.

The Leathermen in the nightmare dream are banding together to fight against the erosion of the nightmare dream.

Dreams are different from reality. It is not as simple as rushing over to kill them, but you need to peel off their personal dreams and find them before you have a chance to devour them. This is more complicated.

Witch Dushan is racking her brains to find a more convenient way to harvest souls.

…

"Interesting." Gavin looked around the situation.

It was far from the situation he had guessed, where there were ghosts and all kinds of deformed monsters everywhere.

He is still in the city of Moshantir, but it is a dark, old and dilapidated version, with collapsed ruins everywhere, and some are broken and shabby.

He concentrated to distinguish, and another picture appeared in his mind, which was the city of Moshantir that he had just seen, and compared it with the scene in front of him.

He found that there was no reference at all. After all, many houses were intact in reality, but they were in two completely different states here. He even felt the gaze in those dilapidated houses, as if they were not empty, but there were people there.

No.

The idea was wrong.

He was now in a dream. No matter whether it was a beautiful dream or a nightmare eroded by dark forces, they were essentially the same, all built on the basis of soul consciousness.

Therefore, everything here was not a material manifestation, but a manifestation of the soul.

The reason why it appeared like the city of Moshantir was because this dream was mainly constructed by the residents of this city.

These residents were different from those in the Dragon Oak Dream. From the beginning, they knew what they were facing, so they could shape the world with their own thoughts.

After the citizens of Moshantir were dragged into the nightmare, they instinctively thought that they were still in the city. When they encountered danger, they would instinctively run to their homes - treating their homes as the safest place and the last refuge. This is the instinct of most intelligent creatures.

In other words, the houses that are in ruins are those whose owners have not been dragged into the nightmare dream, because there is no soul consciousness to construct them, so they are ruins.

And those houses that exist represent that there is at least one or more owners here, and their soul consciousness has entered the nightmare dream.

I am an outsider, and I came in through the back door, so naturally I don’t have a house of my own.

The back door that Gavin took is naturally related to the totem dream.

The mother-child relationship between the natural balancer, the totem dream and the nightmare dream is obvious. No matter how their nature changes, this will not change. There must be an unbreakable connection between the two sides.

Using the power of another dream to send a person into another dream, if you have already taken precautions, even if you do it, it will inevitably alarm the owner of the other dream.

Gavin and his friends bet that the witch Dushan has not had time to plug this backdoor gap.

As expected.

The dark witch, who had only explored on her own, had only mastered the most basic use of nightmare dreams. Not to mention weaving nightmare dreams, she had not yet completely occupied this world.

After all, she was forcibly seizing souls through nightmares, rather than building a normal win-win cooperation like other normal dreams.

Gavin was about to knock on the door of a house to confirm his speculation and get in touch with the souls of the Leathermen, when a burst of ghost howling came from the other end of the street, followed by rolling black fog, in which there seemed to be countless terrifying monsters, constantly crashing and hitting the doors of those houses.

Many houses looked shaky and dilapidated, but under the constant crash of monsters in the black fog, they refused to fall down, including those doors that seemed to be kicked open by adults with a little strength, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.

Gavin thought thoughtfully, it seems that these houses also represent the defense line of those who are trapped in nightmares. As long as they don't take the initiative to come out, their soul consciousness will be safe for a while and will not be swallowed by the monsters representing nightmare dreams.

"Child, open the door, open the door quickly, look outside, I'm not a monster, I'm a mother, I'm a mother!"

"Ah...open the door quickly, the monster is chasing me, hurry up, if you don't open the door, mom will die..."

"No, no, open the door quickly, open the door quickly..."

"Ah...you are not my mother...ah...you are a monster, don't come in, don't come in, get out of my house, ah..."

"Save me, save me, save me quickly, the monster has run into my house, please, Aunt Axia, save me..."

"Don't open the door, don't open the door for her, she has been swallowed by the monster, she is now in disguise, don't open the door, don't go out, stay at home now, wait for the witches to rescue us, is the only way."

"Don't be fooled!"

The reason why nightmares are called nightmares is because everything here is full of changes like a dream.

The methods of those nightmare monsters are not simply to forcefully crash into the door. They will even use various deception methods, pretending to be the relatives and friends of the house owner, or even neighbors, to trick them into opening the door.

And their fraudulent methods become more and more sophisticated and realistic as they devour more and more Leatherman souls.

Because in the process of devouring, they read the soul memory of the other party together, not only imitating the voice and action 100%, but also the memory. When they tell the secrets between them that only they know, many people will believe it.

Especially those naive and ignorant children are most likely to become victims of this scam.

And the images and memories of these new victims soon become new tools for fraud.

Without thinking, Gavin ran towards a place far away from the black fog, and did not try to knock on the doors of the Leatherman houses again. This scam is obviously not the first time. Those who survived have accumulated experience and are unwilling to be fooled easily again.

If he knocks on the door now, he will only be regarded as a monster in disguise, and no one will respond to him.

Moreover, in this case, taking them along is obviously a burden. It is better to wait until he has done what he needs to do, and then come back to rescue these souls trapped in nightmares.

As long as they do not leave their houses, Dushan Witch will not be able to do anything to them in a short time.

Moving along the abandoned streets, Gavin soon found the most lively place in the nightmare dream - the South Wall War Zone.

It is a replica of the real battlefield, and the battle scene is no less than that in reality, but it is no longer a duel between two parties, but a three-way melee.

In addition to the Leatherman Berserkers and Tukan Golden Horde Soldiers, there are also a large number of monsters that seem to have crawled out of nightmares.

They have a human upper body, but an eight-legged spider lower body. They are not spider drow, because their upper body is the image of Leatherman.

Centaurs have a human upper body and a horse lower body, and their upper body is Tukan.

There are also half-human and half-birds, and some have eyes or arms all over their bodies.

The only thing in common is that these monsters are all surrounded by black mist, and they look more like shadow ghosts than humans.

The Leatherman Berserkers and Tucan Golden Horde Soldiers, who fought to the death in reality, fought side by side here to fight against those nightmare monsters.

Because they saw with their own eyes that after their companions were killed, those twisted and deformed monsters came out of their companions' bodies, just like their own nightmare versions.

Obviously, these Leatherman Berserkers and Tucan Golden Horde Soldiers have died in battle, and their souls have become the spoils of the nightmare dream. If they want to make them part of this dream, they must be killed again and their nightmares released.

The main focus of the witch Dushan is here. She has not had time to take action against the Leatherman people who are hiding in their homes. Once she is completely free, I am afraid that those soul shelters will not be able to protect their safety forever.

Gavin also just watched coldly for a while, and after confirming the situation here, he quietly retreated and headed away from here.

I have been to the northernmost part. Not only are there no shabby Leatherman houses here, but even the ruins are nowhere to be seen. There is only thick white fog.

Going further inside, I am out of the range of the nightmare dream and enter the etheric plane.

Normally, those complete dreams, such as the dragon oak dream or the totem dream, first build a closed space to isolate themselves from the etheric plane.

At first, it may be just a clear fog, but as the dream continues to grow, the protection layer of this closed space will become more and more perfect, until a new rainbow curtain is formed, and a half plane will be born in the etheric plane.

Dushan witch nightmare dream obviously has not had time to defend herself. She was too impatient this time, resulting in many loopholes.

At least in the eyes of Gavin, a dream professional, it is true.

Even if he did not use the back door before, he could get in through the etheric plane.

Gavin walked ten more steps in the etheric plane, and when he was sure that the etheric mist had completely enveloped him, he turned his head and saw that the nightmare version of Moshantir City had disappeared. Instead, there was a shadowy black mist that seemed to have life, constantly wriggling and trying to engulf everything around it. The two sides were moving away from each other.

The most unique thing about the etheric plane is that it is not fixed like the material plane, and everything here is constantly moving.

Because it is a filler, it will constantly change its position as the major planes squeeze each other.

Therefore, many laws of the material plane are useless here.

The ten steps that Gavin took out of the nightmare dream before were both infinitely close and infinitely far away, and the distance between Gavin and Flancini was the same.

What he needs to do now is to use the power of the road to establish a connection with Flancini and open a way for her to come here.

As Gavin's mind gathered, the power of the road surged wildly, and the ether mist in front of him was torn into a tunnel. At the other end of the tunnel, there was an exquisite magic hut, and a dreamlike figure was waving and smiling at him.

With every blink of his eyes, the magic hut and its beautiful woman would flash in and out.

That situation was very similar to the monsters in a horror movie that were constantly approaching.

And what Gavin felt from it was not fear, but a strong excitement.

Not only because the other party was the target of his trip, Flancini and her magic hut.

Also because he found a new use of the power of the road.

Ever since the hidden dwarf mines and production lines were discovered under the Colossus City.

Gavin has been considering the issue of building railways. After all, low-cost large-scale transportation on land must be this new means of transportation.

However, given the poor outdoor environment, the cost of maintaining the railway in Faerun is likely to be much higher than the construction cost.

As soon as they laid the rails, they were taken away by various intelligent creatures (including but not limited to those monsters). Let alone other existences, those goblins can definitely do such things, and they are the kind that are repeatedly banned, unless Gavin has the ability to ensure that there are no goblins or similar existences where the railway passes.

This is not a reasonable speculation, but this kind of thing has begun to appear on the asphalt road he laid.

Not only did the monsters begin to artificially destroy the road, but even some villages and towns had their roads dug up by humans, because they thought that the road was too smooth, hindering their way to wealth, so that many merchants went directly on the road and did not supply or stay in their villages and towns at all.

In this world, not everyone has a far-sighted vision. They always stay where they are, or even look back, and unknowingly, hinder development, or even become a stumbling block to development.

In modern society where education is relatively universal, all kinds of development are not smooth sailing, and there will be various discordant voices, not to mention a world full of monsters and various forces. It is normal for such a situation to occur.

The road protection team established by Gavin based on the road statue has the main task of dealing with these related issues. When necessary, even use swords to clear obstacles. In this regard, the earth elf warlords of Blood Gorge City have achieved an extreme - extreme violence.

If any section of the Conqueror's Road on the Giant Plains is destroyed, the wise tribes within a radius of ten kilometers will be implicated with this section of the road as the center. At the least, all property will be confiscated, and at the worst, they will be directly massacred.

After the three regions of intelligent tribes became a thing of the past, the intelligent tribes around the Conqueror Road on the Giant Plains not only did not dare to move this road, but even became their guardians. Anyone who made trouble on this road would be the mortal enemy of their entire tribe. If they could not destroy it, they would attract the earth elves of Blood Gorge City to destroy it.

However, this method can only be used in the Giant Plains where monster forces are the main force. It cannot be used in towns dominated by humans, elves, dwarves and halflings.

Because doing so will arouse public anger.

In short, in reality, building a railway is much more difficult than imagined in a short period of time.

Moreover, the multiverse has its own uniqueness. A long time ago, Gavin had the idea of ​​building an etheric railway or a shadow railway, especially the former.

What is prepared is to start from the spiritual plasticity of the etheric plane. As the dream continues to unfold, the feasibility of this plan continues to soar.

Because the dream is the result of the etheric plane being reshaped by spiritual thoughts.

Build a dream railway in the dream, and then use the road power to pull it, combined with the magic in reality, a complete ether railway plan will take shape, and the rest is the problem of perfect implementation.

"Your growth rate is as amazing as ever. In just two months, your use of road power has reached a new level, and you can actually pave the way for my magic house in the ether." Feilanxini said with a smile.

Just as Gavin's thoughts diverged, she and her magic house were already close at hand.

"Teacher, you are not bad either. You have begun to master the essence of dreams. It seems that you have not only successfully built your own dream, but also begun to enter the faith of dream goblins." Gavin looked at each other involuntarily.

The dreamlike feeling on her body was even stronger than when they first met.

The only difference from before was that the mist wrapped around her body was no longer the shackles that imprisoned and bound her, but a unique coat on her body. As her thoughts changed, it perfectly merged with the breath of the etheric plane.

The resentful atmosphere at the beginning has long gone, and there is a bright and positive feeling.

"It is all thanks to you that you have opened a new door for me. In this respect, you are my teacher." Felixini said from the bottom of her heart.

Gavin changed her more than she changed him.

It was he who led her into the dream realm, and it was he who helped her use the goblins to reshape her cage.
