Chapter 2087 Nightmare
"Is this the dream world?" Melo looked around curiously. The scene of the dusk jungle was strange enough, but it was not as good as the scene in front of him now.
The trunks of the towering ancient trees were covered with moss and vines, as if the years had left an eternal mark on them. But the most amazing thing was that the branches and leaves of these trees actually emitted a faint fluorescence, like the softest stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire dense forest like a dream. Light and shadow intertwined into a series of flowing paintings in this forest, and every step was on the ripples of time.
Elves with transparent wings and emitting soft light shuttled lightly between the trees. They held small magic wands and seemed to communicate with the elements of nature. Occasionally, a huge griffin with eyes shining with the light of wisdom would pass by overhead, leaving a long string of calls that echoed in the depths of the dense forest.
You can see many extremely fantastic fish, treating the air as water and swimming in the air. These fish are slender and elegant, as if they were carved from the purest crystal, or like the brightest meteors in the night sky falling into the mortal world.
When they swim in the air, soft and dazzling light will be emitted from both sides of their bodies, as if they are dragging two radiant tails. Such a fantastic scene can be seen everywhere in this world.
They followed the butterfly in one direction, and it seemed that when they reached a certain position, the butterfly broke, activating some kind of power and pulling them into the dream world. In this dream world, their own situation did not change much, which was equivalent to entering an inner world from the real world.
Lin Jiu took out a specially customized camera from the storage space that was not restricted by any environment and took pictures of the surrounding environment. After experiencing so many mission worlds, there are not many scenes that can be compared with the Dusk Jungle, not to mention the more dreamy dream world.
"Another gadget from the Holy Empire?" Melo didn't feel strange when he saw Lin Jiu take out a strange thing. After the dwarves of the Iron Fortress were incorporated into the Holy Glory Empire, these strange tools from the Holy Glory Empire often spread to their Dusk Jungle through the Chamber of Commerce.
The Dusk Jungle is located in the north of the Holy Glory Empire, and the original Iron Fortress borders the Holy Glory Empire in the south. This is the position formed by moving from their original location.
The Yimi Continent is not a complete continent, but is composed of multiple continental plates. The largest of them is the continent where they are now. The four major forces of the Cangyue Alliance Dusk Jungle, the Holy Glory Empire, the Orc Oro Tribe, and the Cemetery of Death are all located on this continent.
The Cangyue Alliance is located in the northernmost position, bordering the sea in the north, half of the south bordering the Holy Glory Empire, and half of the south bordering the Oro Tribe. Therefore, the Holy Glory Empire and the Oro Tribe are located on the left and right sides below the Cangyue Alliance.
On the right side of the Iron Fortress in the south of the Holy Glory Empire is the former site of the Kingdom of Tis, which is also the current Cemetery of Death. Legend has it that if you continue to go south, you may see the top of the extreme where the gods once lived.
The other continent is where the dwarves once lived. Across the sea from the Holy Empire, not far from the coast is the Yangyan Volcano, which is where Qing is now. The Yangyan Volcano area is surrounded by mines, abandoned workshops, former steel fortresses, scorched earth, etc.
It can be seen that the dwarves once lived around the Yangyan Volcano. Now the Yangyan Volcano has become a demon's stronghold, and they naturally can't stay there. In the war decades ago, the Yangyan Volcano, the sacred place of the Yangyan Divine Bird Clan, was naturally the focus of the demon creatures, and the dwarves were forced to relocate.
However, the reason why the dwarves chose to migrate and merge into the Yaoguang Empire was not only because of the demon's attack, but also partly because the environment in this area was polluted because of their industrial development. Industrial civilization is almost an unavoidable link in the process of civilization, and the environmental damage brought about by industrial development is also unavoidable, so there was the birth of subsequent magic civilization.
But we have to admit that the dwarves were once powerful overlords, just like the alchemy civilization in the second era of the void, it can be said that there is a generation of gods in each version. That continent is the second largest among the many continental plates in the Yimi Continent. Apart from the Yangyan Volcano, which has a high status, more than two-thirds of the territory of the entire continent belongs to the dwarves.
It is the dwarves' superb weapon manufacturing technology that played an important role in the rise of the Shengyao Empire. The dwarves are all masters of weapon forging, so they have a high status in the Shengyao Empire. Because of their small number and their dedication to forging skills, they are not feared by those in power and live a good life.
Speaking of which, the dwarves are good at machinery and weapon development, but Lin Jiu has never heard of the alchemy mentioned in the world introduction, which is particularly strange. You must know that if alchemy exists in the development of a world, it will inevitably leave a strong mark, but the information about alchemy in this world is very obscure.
Lin Jiu instinctively feels that there must be a big secret in it, but he needs to focus on the investigation of the main task now, so he can't be distracted to investigate those secrets for the time being.
This dream world is divided into two parts, with a clear distinction. Completely different from the dream experienced by Lin Jiu and Melo was another area where the sky was shrouded in thick gray haze, as if countless resentful souls were whispering above the clouds, telling of endless sorrow and unwillingness.
A blood-red waning moon hangs high in the sky, casting a strange and eerie light, dyeing the earth an ominous dark red. All around are dilapidated ruins and twisted buildings, which seem to have been torn apart by invisible forces and have lost their original shapes and rules.
The broken bridge spans the dry riverbed, shaky; the collapsed tower stands in the ruins, as if it will collapse at any time, burying all living things under the rubble. The air is filled with the smell of decay and death, which makes people suffocate.
There are all kinds of terrifying creatures walking on the land. Some of them are withered, with empty eyes, but they can peek at the soul of every living thing in the dark; some are huge, with skin like cracked land, covered with sharp bone spurs and tentacles, ready to tear their prey into pieces at any time.
There are also faint echoes of shrill cries and desperate cries for help. These sounds come from those consciousnesses trapped here and unable to escape. They are either punished for their sins in their previous lives or innocently involved in this endless feast of horror. Their pain and struggle have become the most poignant and beautiful movement in the nightmare world.
Wearing a black dress and holding a long sickle, Talide walks in the nightmare world without any sense of disobedience. The wailing of souls coming from all around seems to be a movement that exists to set off Talide.
The dream world is divided into two, half of which is a dreamy dream and half of which is a desperate nightmare. On the border line, pink scales flash with fluorescent spots, isolating the power of despair there. The two forces collide with each other, one wants to invade the entire dream world, and the other wants to purify the nightmare world.
Talide vaguely felt that the demon was leading her in one direction, so she took advantage of it. Before the other party's real body appears, hiding is the best choice.
