Twilight Tomb.
The fourth layer.
“Schuck, Beta, Jerry, you guys are responsible for holding off the Dark Race Summoner and controlling the number of Dark Demons.”
“Epsilon, you’re tasked with getting rid of the Shadow Creatures around, let those seven Parasites move as well.”
“Alpha, you take the Six Swords to collect Rune Fragments.”
“Gamma, you assist Jie Ta and Alpha from two directions to search for Rune Fragments.”
“Delta, with your swift speed, swoop in and out. Once you get all the Rune Fragments, immediately bring them back to me!”
Bai Qi, standing on Nicholas’s back, laid out the strategies and clearly assigned tasks to the six pets, as if he had gone back to the time when he was commanding a raid in his past life.
How nostalgic! Unfortunately, you couldn’t play the game Socket Mountain in this place.
The technological level of this world was far beyond that of his previous life. Despite the variety of games, even Virtual Reality Games were developed.
However, games were still games, and they were far less thrilling than personally commanding beasts. Especially after Bai Qi had created the occupation of a Spirit Controller, the gaming industry found it increasingly difficult to survive.
Yet, farming the Secret Realm and raiding seemed hardly different now.
“Then I’ll collect the runes too.”
Having seen Bai Qi so proficiently assigning tasks to the Six Pets, Bai Qiucha quickly found his own position, surprised but determined.
“Okay, hurry up. I don’t know what would happen if the Summoner is left unattended for too long.”
Bai Qi nodded in agreement, then concentrated his Spirit Power to remotely control the movements of the Six Pets through their contract.
According to the Fire Man’s words, the seven runes needed to be fused by the Dark Race Summoner to function. Without considering what would happen after the fusion, if the delay in this process was too long, who knew what the Dark Race Summoner could do.
After all, letting a Summoner summon at will was a fairly dangerous thing.
Fortunately, this was the second time they raided this place, and the pets’ efficiency had significantly improved. They still managed to collect the seven runes before the Dark Race Summoner went on a spawning frenzy.
“So, what’s the next step, just throw them over?”
Bai Qi held the seven Rune Fragments in his hands and asked.
“Perhaps, you might want to try?”
Bai Qiucha tilted her head, thought about it, and agreed with Bai Qi’s idea.
“Let’s give it a try. Worst case scenario, we’ll come back in three days and try again. Consider it a leveling grind.”
Bai Qi nodded, handed the Rune Fragments to Alpha, who then tossed them skillfully, sending the seven Rune Fragments precisely in front of the Dark Race Summoner.
Seeing the seven Rune Fragments appear, the Dark Race Summoner’s movement suddenly changed. It swallowed the seven pieces in one gulp. Immediately afterwards, a massive Array appeared below it.
Soon after the Array appeared, the body of the Dark Race Summoner began to slowly melt away, and the Dark Demons and Shadow Creatures around it were also absorbed into it.
Is it the same trick again? Absorbing and evolving?” Bai Qiucha saw this and said.
“It doesn’t seem like it. Why do I feel like it’s summoning something? A sacrifice?”
Blub blub.
(Master, it seems that the Array is a Teleportation Circle. Something is being teleported over.)
Using his sensitivity to the Void, Delta was the first to detect the anomaly. Bai Qi’s eyebrows shot up, and he immediately instructed the Six Pets, “Don’t let the summoning succeed, finish him off immediately!”
Upon hearing his words, the Six Pets took their orders and launched an attack on the Dark Race Summoner together.
The Array, however, was eerie. Regardless of how intensely the Six Pets attacked, they were all absorbed into it.
Finally, the Dark Race Summoner was completely absorbed into the Array, and a dark ghost wielding a scythe crawled out from it.
“Damn, a Blood Scythe Wraith?”
Bai Qi’s heart started to race. He thought this Fire Man was too much! At least he could have given a heads up that a legendary creature would be summoned. Then he wouldn’t have taken these risks.
“It’s not the Blood Scythe Wraith. It’s the preliminary evolved form of Blood Scythe Wraith, the Nightmare Death Person.”
Bai Qiucha shook her head and said, “Nightmare Death Person likes to attack an enemy’s spirit with nightmares. If the spiritual power isn’t strong enough, the victims would die in their dreams. Be careful.”
With that, Bai Qiucha entered her armed state and fully prepared herself to fend off the attack of the Nightmare Death Person.
“An attack in the dreamland?”
Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. He unconsciously looked at the cordyceps. Suddenly, he felt a jolt in his spirit. Everything around him vanished, leaving only the Nightmare Death Person slowly flying towards him.
“Well, that’s how to enter the dream, huh.”
Bai Qi smacked his lips. It was so silent that he was pulled into the dreamland. This efficiency was far superior to that of the cordyceps. It seemed like this Nightmare Death Person was probably an Emperor creature.
But, using the dreamland as a means of attack at this juncture was just…
A self-sacrificial move?
Just when the Nightmare Death Person was about to reach Bai Qi, a turquoise-gold insect suddenly appeared before him. The brilliant sunlight forced the Nightmare Death Person back a couple of steps.
Before it could react, a Crystal Skeleton wielding four long swords appeared out of nowhere and launched an attack on it.
Then, a bizarre three-headed wolf, a gooey creature with wings, an extraordinarily sturdy Ancestral Beast, and a Snow Doll that seemed to be on the verge of tears appeared successively in the dreamland.
“How did you manage to enter my dreams?”
The appearance of the Six Pets caught the Nightmare Death Person off guard, who then asked in a gloomy voice.
“They are Emperor Creatures, can they all talk now?”
Bai Qi grinned at this situation. If it were any other attack strategy, it would be fine, but dreams were like running straight into the beast controller’s home turf.
The Dream Weaver was not messing around.
“Epsilon, be nice to our guest. Oh, wait this is their home turf for now, so be polite. Just scare them a bit.”
“Don’t worry, boss. I’ll make it a nightmare they’ll never forget.”
In the dreamland, the Dream Weaver wasn’t the lowly creature it appeared to be. It radiated an unstoppable dominance, and its body even started to grow larger bit by bit.
Even though the Nightmare Death Person’s dreamland wasn’t created by him, once the Dream Weaver connected to it, it could manipulate some of its abilities to enhance itself.
Not only that, Alpha and the others also felt some augmentation, especially the Husky, whose spirit power had mutated; it was now like a demon dog that could devour the sky.
On the contrary, the Nightmare Death Person, the first to counterattack, happened to be the smallest.
“You, you all don’t come over here!”
Subsequently, to the Nightmare Death Person’s terrified eyes, the Six Pets rushed forth and began to beat him up.
Outside the dreamland.
Fully armed Bai Qiucha barely withstood the Nightmare Death Person’s mental shock. He was planning to remind Bai Qi to be cautious again, but realized that Bai Qi was just standing there, motionless.
“Damn, am I too late?”
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha cursed under his breath. Although Bai Qi’s spirit power was far superior to his, it was still much weaker compared to the pets’.
The favorite move of the Nightmare Death Person was to target the weakest spirit power and kill off one by one.
“I need to find a way to wake Bai Qi up.”
Bai Qiucha looked around and quickly set his sight on Nicholas.
Having a Legendary creature by your side was just for this kind of situation, wasn’t it?
However, just when Bai Qiucha was about to ask for help, he suddenly noticed something abnormal.
Not only Bai Qi, but Alpha and the other Six Pets, as well as the attacking Nightmare Death Person, all fell into a deep sleep.
“It seems that Bai Qi’s Great Sun Dragon Cicada also has the ability to weave dreams, doesn’t it?”
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha gradually calmed down, and when he saw that Nicholas had also fallen asleep at some point, he completely let go of his worries.
“Indeed, luck is also a part of strength.”
…
Back to the dreamland.
After a moment of panic, the Nightmare Death Person finally remembered that it was an Emperor Creature. With a roar, it forcefully knocked back the Six Pets and began to counterattack the Dream Weaver in its dreamland.
As users of dream-related abilities, the struggle was about whose dream could overlay the others’, a bit like a clash of force fields.
The strength of the dreamland entirely depends on the power of the spirit.
Sure enough, after the Nightmare Death Person regained its senses, it was hard for Alpha and the Six Pets to hurt it again. They could only retreat back to Bai Qi’s side, focusing all their spirit power to hold up collectively.
Centred on the Dream Weaver, the spirit power of the Six Pets and Bai Qi perfectly fused together, and they had just barely withstood the erosion of the Nightmare Death Person.
“Damn human, you’ve successfully infuriated me. I will make you forever exiled in the endless nightmare!”
Seeing that he was unable to defeat a few King Creatures, the Nightmare Death Person was instantly enraged. The sky was suddenly shrouded in an ominous dark red cloud, slowly encroaching towards Bai Qi’s side.
Emperor level, the highest creature level in this world, possessed absolute advantages, both in spirit and body.
This advantage is tough to neutralize through mere numbers.
Even so, there was not a hint of worry on Bai Qi’s face. Instead, he showed a trace of sympathy.
“Although it’s meaningless for a boss to say this, do remember before you start to brag, check if there are any hidden big shots around.”
“These days, big shots love to fish.”
Crack…
Just when the Nightmare Death Person was about to seize control of the dreamland entirely, a cracking sound echoed through it. A streak of jade color slowly appeared in the sky, pushing back the dark red cloud bit by bit.
Following that, a massive Green Dragon skull appeared from the jade aura. It glanced around with its emerald-green eyes and landed near Bai Qi.
“Bai Qi, why did you suddenly run into the dreamland? You could have called me.”
Nicholas asked with confusion.
“I didn’t want to. We were forced in.”
Bai Qi shrugged and pointed at the trembling Nightmare Death Person opposite him. “There, that one. It was just thinking about banishing me into an endless nightmare.”
“Banish you?”
Nicholas was instantly incensed when he heard this. He glowered at the Nightmare Death Person and said, “You dare to threaten my friend. Let’s see who’s going to be banished!”
Upon hearing Nicholas’s words, the Nightmare Death Person was startled and ran away without hesitation. It even forgot that it was in a dream, where escaping was meaningless.
Bai Qi licked his lips; dreaming about a green dragon was a bad omen~
