The thing that was wrapping around me was very tight. It had a strong fishy smell to it, and something else was slowly moving upwards along my legs.
This feeling …
I was jolted awake, and my vision went black. I opened my mouth to speak, but what came out was only a hissing sound.
As for the thing that was entangling me, it was slowly twisting around in my body, and the crumbs were scraping against me painfully.
The familiar fishy smell told me that this was a snake, a snake that wasn't Liu Kunsheng's.
My waist was tightly wrapped, I gasped for breath. I tried to recall if Little White was still at my waist. As long as it was there, there shouldn't be anything that could wrap around my waist.
In a daze, a low laugh could be heard, followed by a sliding face.
"Humph!" Suddenly, a familiar cold snort was heard. Following that, his body lightened and something was thrown out heavily.
Then, he fell into that familiar embrace. Liu Kunsheng lightly tapped against my eyes, and my originally opened eyes once again opened.
"You have nightmares." Liu Kunsheng reached out to help me up, then used a towel to wipe my sweat: "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Was that a dream? So real. " I took the towel from him and watched Little White jump out from his waist and look at me in confusion.
It occurred to me that I had opened my eyes twice just now, and that perhaps it was indeed a dream.
However, the smell of the snake, the pain from the scraping of the gravel, and the wet slick of my face pressed down on my body. It was too real, and didn't feel like I was in a dream.
"It's a nightmare." Liu Kunsheng passed me a bottle of water and pulled me up. "If you can't sleep, come out and take a breath of fresh air to relax."
I nodded and followed him out. Hu Guyue was leaning on his backpack, listening to the stories of the Director Ding, surrounded by many people. I nodded slightly, but no one was able to sleep.
"You can sleep with me." Sister Bai passed me a packet of fried rice and said with a wry smile, "I don't have anything else. I can calm my mind with the rice, please have some."
In this kind of place, if everyone wanted to stay alive, she probably wouldn't do anything. I took the rice and listened to the Director Ding talk about what happened when he was young in the same forest.
After he finished telling that story, Liu Kunsheng looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Just now, Chen Duo encountered a nightmare."
I originally thought that dreaming was a very normal thing, but when he said those words, the faces of Director Ding, Father, Old Mi Tou, and Sister Bai immediately changed.
"Only you humans would take a dream seriously." A mocking smile appeared on Immortal Huang's face as she chuckled, "We won't be dreaming."
"Are you sure it's a nightmare?" His father glanced at her, then said to Liu Kunsheng: "Did you feel it?"
"Yes." Liu Kunsheng nodded, and glanced at Ceng Xiaoqiang: "Did you feel it too?"
"I just felt something slide by, but I'm not sure." Ceng Xiaoqiang revealed a bitter face, then said to Liu Kunsheng: "You know I have a lot of things that I'm still not very familiar with."
"What is a nightmare?" I looked at everyone in confusion, as if Hu Guyue and I were the only ones who didn't know.
"Nightmare is a kind of dream-relieving technique. It can be used to travel between reality and dreams." Sister White said in a melodious voice while she was eating the Egg Fried Rice, "You could call it a dream because it is out of touch with reality. But its effect can be applied to reality."
"What do you mean?" That's a bit too complicated.
"That is to say, if you had died in the nightmare just now, you would have also died in reality. However, what you can use in reality cannot be used in the Nightmare. The Nightmare is the territory of the caster, and you can't even use your eyes or ears. The old man spoke very straightforwardly. Even his words gave people an uncomfortable feeling.
I sneered, wondering where his malice for me came from.
He seems to have quite a good relationship with my dad, but against me, he's in all sorts of bad ways. I don't even know how I offended him.
I am already a corpse without any life force. Even if I die, it will only be death of the Gu worm in my body. I'm afraid that the caster will be disappointed." I looked at old man Mi Tou and said in a low voice, "What I felt was a snake, a snake pressing down on my body. Does it make any sense to me?
But when I finished saying all that, the faces of the people from Dad and the other three organizations had turned green, and they looked at Liu Kunsheng, seemingly gasping heavily without end.
"That's just his facade, you don't have to worry." Liu Kunsheng gave me a smooth shoulder, telling me not to be angry.
His father suddenly burst out, fiercely standing up, he looked at Liu Kunsheng and roared: "Come with me."
"Don't sleep first, we're going to chat. I'm going to talk to him." Liu Kunsheng chuckled to me, then stood up and coldly walked towards the side of the camp.
Dad glared at me and followed me angrily.
"You said that your nightmare was being suppressed by a snake?" Big Sister Bai seemed to be trying to adjust the atmosphere as she pulled my hand and said, "This kind of thing has actually happened before."
While paying attention to the movements of Liu Kunsheng and my father, I raised my eyebrows at her. "What's the situation?"
Nightmare demons and devils can be used, but to a different degree. For example, some devils can make you dream, suck in your vitality, while others feel that it's just a dream. However, what was worse was that some monsters would cause someone to become pregnant. "I have dealt with one matter. That woman had a big rooster in her house, and had kept it for ten years. Because of its large and sturdy build, she was not willing to kill and eat.
"In the end, the woman kept dreaming at night and dreamed that a big man in shiny, oily clothes came to find her and befriended her. At first, she thought it was just a dream, and it was very comfortable in the dream, so she didn't tell her family. However, half a year later, she bore an egg. Moreover, there was still something inside the egg. The rooster in her house had fled with that egg, never to be found again. "But that woman still lays eggs every day, and every night she makes that kind of male and female sound in the room, but no one in the family has ever seen that man before, so she asked me if I could find that rooster and ask it to let go of the woman." After saying that, Sister Bai looked at me with her eyes wide open.
I suddenly understood what she meant. In the nightmare, the thing that had the texture of a snake was probably not a snake, but rather, I was suppressed by Liu Kunsheng before. It made me feel that it was a snake, which confused me.
And if that thing succeeds, I might get pregnant.
Tian Tian said before, that Liu Kunsheng could only change his flesh and blood from me, but his bones and blood will not change at all. The bones in my bones are still the same as before, I can use a Gu technique to force the blood essence out of my bone marrow, I can still control strong Gu worms, and I can still draw powerful runes.
Maybe this was what Grey Immortal had told me right away, that the Mountain God and Liu Kunsheng had their eyes on, and the Mountain God never got their hands on, but Liu Kunsheng got a body of flesh and blood to talk about.
Liu Kunsheng and my father seemed to be arguing loudly. My father punched Liu Kunsheng in the face and scolded him loudly while pointing at him.
However, Liu Kunsheng let out a cold snort, and my father fell heavily onto the ground. He looked at my father and said something, but my father just lied there in embarrassment, and punched the ground with all his might, not saying another word.
"I'm done." Liu Kunsheng hugged me without a care, and said while looking in the direction of his father: "He blames me for making you suffer so much."
I reached out to touch his chest and bitterly smiled. "You're even more miserable than I am."
"It's good that you know this." Liu Kunsheng proudly glanced at his father who had struggled to lift his head up, and said loudly: "At least it's better than some who do not know what's good for them."
I slapped him hard so he wouldn't overdo it.
Dad slowly got up from the ground, panting heavily as he looked at me and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped down from the tree and pounced towards the old man.
"Be careful!" I hastily shouted out, but there was already no difference.
The shadow bumped into his father and disappeared.
The last thing we saw was the black cat that was missing, the black cat that was trying to trap the ghost within its body — Mo Xing.
"Meow!" Dad let out a low cat cry, followed his four limbs to the ground, and slowly walked towards us.
Liu Kunsheng pulled me behind him, quietly watching the black cat approach.
"East Yin, West Yang, Mu Sheng, Water Sunken." The father, who was possessed by the black cat, said these words in a low voice. Then, he narrowed his eyes and pounced towards a tent.
