Chapter 238: Long-cherished Mission: Red Thorn Wilderness
Entering the dream again, this time, Xiao Jie was not in a hurry to find the tiger monster.

Instead, he decided to familiarize himself with the rules of the game in the dream first.

Even though it was just a brief fight just now, Xiao Jie had already discovered that the fighting rules in the dream seemed to be different from those in the 'real world'.

It can be said to be similar but not.

This can be seen just from the change of mana into health bar.

This test indeed revealed a difference.

Xiao Jie first used some ordinary fighting skills, and then used his swordsmanship and light skills. The effects seemed to be no different from those in reality.

The only difference is – there is no consumption.

Not only was there no consumption, but even the physical strength and internal strength values ​​were not displayed.

Whether it is a combat skill that consumes physical strength or a light skill that consumes internal strength, there seems to be no restrictions when using it.

Xiao Jie nodded secretly. It seemed that in the dream, his physical strength, internal strength and even magic power were unlimited.

It’s not hard to understand, it was just a dream.

I don’t know if the spiritual power skill is the same... Xiao Jie didn’t dare to try it easily. It is not easy to accumulate this thing. It would be bad if it was wasted.

Then Xiao Jie tried the equipment skills again, but this time it showed that there was no such skill.

Neither the evil-repelling spell on the sacred wood talisman nor the terrifying face of the Shura ghost mask could be used.

(It seems that equipment skills cannot be brought into dreams, only the abilities you master can.)
Then Xiao Jie tested the secret again.

Sweep away everything! Sweep away everything! Sweep away everything!

No problem, feel free to use it.

What about the illusion? This secret has a cooldown time and can only be used once an hour, but I don't know if it is the same in dreams.

Disillusionment! Disillusionment! Disillusionment!

Haha, there is no limit on the cooling time, and no internal force consumption - you tiger demon, let’s see if you can survive this time!
Xiao Jie excitedly ran directly towards the direction of the tiger monster, using both flying on the grass and galloping skills.

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the tiger demon was seen wandering in the darkness, with blood filling its body. The corpse of the white snake was no longer visible, obviously it had been completely swallowed by it.

The tiger demon grinned grimly when he saw Xiao Jie appear.

"You dare to come and die? I will kill you to my heart's content today - let's fight!"

The tiger demon roared and rushed towards Xiao Jie. Its huge body, fierce physique, and amazing momentum...

If he encountered this in reality, Xiao Jie would probably have no choice but to run away. The damage of a BOSS of this level is absolutely astonishing, and the health volume must be at least 2000+.

However, in a dream, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Jie didn't waste any time and directly used his ultimate move.

Secret - disillusionment!
The time domain expanded instantly, and the tiger demon pounced, and the moment it got close, it was fixed in mid-air.

Xiao Jie started to use his ultimate skills without any hesitation.

Sweep away the clouds! Sweep away the clouds! Disillusionment is gone! Another sweep away the clouds!
Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, the tiger demon screamed as it was minced into a pile of flesh.

It turned into bursts of light and dissipated in the air.

That's it? Xiao Jie was a little proud for a moment. Was this considered exorcism? Physical salvation? Xiao Jie killed the tiger demon in his dream... Didn't it mean that it required advanced exorcism techniques to dispel it?
As I was thinking about it, a low growl of suppressed anger suddenly sounded behind me.

"Good boy, I look down on you."

Xiao Jie was startled and turned around, he saw countless light spots in the darkness condensing into the figure of a tiger demon again.

"You're not dead?" Xiao Jie asked in surprise.

“Hahaha, I could not be deader. What you see before you is just a remnant of soul and a wisp of obsession. Thanks to that white snake and that cat, I swallowed their remnant spirits to replenish my body. I can finally take on a little form and give you some constraints, entangle you, and make you suffer in reality. This can also vent my hatred.

Boy, don't think you can get rid of me by killing me once. No matter how many times you kill me, I will still pester you and I will kill you sooner or later."

Hearing the vicious words of the tiger demon's remnant soul, Xiao Jie was suddenly speechless.

"Damn it, Brother Hu, this is meaningless, isn't it? I wasn't the one who killed you, and I spent a lot of money to buy your inner elixir. I think you should just go and rest in peace as soon as possible. The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn. Maybe if you hurry up, you can be reborn into a wealthy family in your next life."

"Shut up! None of you humans are good. I'm going to kill you today. I just fell into your trap. It won't be so easy this time - roar!"

The tiger roars terrifyingly!
Damn it, you’re using this trick again!

Although Xiao Jie was prepared and rushed towards the tiger monster at the first moment, the attack range of this move was too large, and Xiao Jie was still frightened. Seeing his character turn around and run with the fear icon on his head, Xiao Jie knew that he was going to lose again.

Sure enough, the tiger demon pounced on him and then grabbed his throat, killing him instantly.

[System prompt: You are defeated——You are awake. ]

This time the mental strength became 17 points, and the DEBUFF of Nightmare Horror was superimposed again.

Looking at the familiar scene in the inn room, Xiao Jie thought to himself, "Damn it, I just don't believe it. I must kill you today."

Xiao Jie was also anxious at this time, and lay down to sleep again without saying a word.

After entering the dream, Xiao Jie had learned his lesson. This time he had to come up with a flawless combo.

The speed of this tiger monster is extremely fast, not much slower than that of Qinggong. It is obviously unrealistic to kite it, and long-range attacks can be ignored.

The tiger monster is a level 28 BOSS after all. Its tiger roar has a huge range and is almost impossible to be immune to. So you must get close to it and use your ultimate move before the opponent roars.

The flashing distance of Phantom Trace is only ten steps away, so it is not so easy to get close... Yes, there is no cooling time in the dream. If I have infinite Phantom Trace, can't I get close in an instant?

Just do it. Xiao Jie ran towards the tiger monster again. From a distance, he saw the tiger monster roaring at the sky arrogantly.

Xiao Jie started teleporting without saying anything.

Phantom tracing! Phantom tracing! Phantom tracing! Phantom tracing! Phantom tracing!

In an instant, Xiao Jie's figure seemed to be stuck in a frame, appearing and disappearing, appearing and disappearing again...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Before the tiger demon could react, he was approached in an instant.

Disillusionment - swept away by the wind - swept away by the wind...

After a series of brainless ultimate moves, the tiger demon was killed again.

"Hahaha, you're still so arrogant, I'm going to turn it upside down, no matter how loud you roar."

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Suddenly, there was a continuous tiger roar behind him. Xiao Jie's face changed immediately. He turned around and saw that Wei Lishanjun was rushing towards him quickly while using the tiger roar and terrifying roar.

Apparently, the tiger demon's roar skill has no cooldown in the dream...

Damn it! Xiao Jie's face changed. In terms of the range of skills, the opponent's roar was much larger than his Phantom Phantom, about 30 steps. With such unlimited release, it would be difficult for him to get close.

Each time Phantom flashes, it will appear for a few tenths of a second, which is unavoidable. To flash within 10 steps of the opponent, you must appear at least twice within the opponent's skill range, otherwise you will definitely be hit.

Xiao Jie made up his mind and thought that the only solution now seemed to be to use his spiritual energy skills.

I hope I don’t need to consume spiritual energy in dreams.

Qi——Spirit——

The white spiritual light gathered in the palm of his hand, charging - charging again - three stages of charging!
The white light in the palm of your hand is as dazzling as a small white sun. It is an energy wave formed by the gathering of pure spiritual energy.

--Wave!

Boom! The white light wave blasted towards the tiger monster like a railgun, and the powerful force blasted the tiger monster directly backwards.

Oh my god, this move is really powerful!
Xiao Jie took a look at his spiritual energy value. Fortunately, there was no change. It seemed that if he used it in reality, the spiritual energy consumed would definitely not be less. Fortunately, it was in a dream and it would not be really consumed. In the future, it can only be used at the most critical moment.

Otherwise, if you use it just a few times, your level will probably fall.

After being killed by Xiao Jie's spiritual energy wave, the tiger demon's figure gathered together again.

Qi-spirit-wave!

The tiger demon had learned its lesson this time. As soon as it appeared, it jumped left and right. The moment Xiao Jie blasted out the spiritual wave, the tiger demon nimbly dodged Xiao Jie's attack.

Seeing the tiger demon approaching again, Xiao Jie hurriedly used his defensive skills.

Control the Qi and protect the Yuan!

White light suddenly appeared around the body, and the white aura enveloped the whole body like an egg-shaped force field.

Just looking at it gives me a full sense of security.

No trace! No trace! No trace!

Seeing that Xiao Jie was about to jump again, the tiger demon immediately roared.

However, this Qi Controlling and Protecting Essence was indeed a life-saving skill of Qi Refiners. It could even defend against sound waves. The spiritual energy shield was shaken by the roar, but there was no sign of it breaking. Xiao Jie instantly approached the tiger monster and directly used his ultimate skill - Illusionary Bubble...

Haha, this combo is simply impeccable!

Xiao Jie thought proudly, I have to say, although this Qi Refiner's spiritual energy skills are a bit less, only three in total, and the side effects are also greater - in reality, one's realm will drop as soon as he uses them, but they are really damn useful.

The main feature is simple violence, which is invincible.

In this way, Xiao Jie killed the tiger monster more than ten times in one breath. Seeing that the tiger monster kept being reborn, Xiao Jie was speechless.

"Stop, stop, stop!" he yelled.

The tiger demon actually stopped and looked at Xiao Jie angrily. "What do you want to say, kid? Hurry up, let's continue after you finish speaking."

"Brother Tiger, do you think it's fun to keep begging for mercy like this? If you can't beat me, then you can't beat me. Just accept it. If you're so old and want me to kill you, I'm tired of it even if you're not tired of it.

How about this, I'll go find some great masters to help you get reborn, and try to get you married into a wealthy family in your next life, is that ok?"

"Hmph, don't try to flatter me. I don't care about what happens after death. You even ate my inner elixir. My soul has long been shattered. How can there be any next life?"

Xiao Jie thought, is there such a setting? I am ignorant, but it is easy to deal with if we can communicate.

"Then you must have something that you can't let go of. Tell me about it. If I can help you, I will definitely do it. And you don't have to bother me anymore. What do you think?"

"There is one thing I can't let go of...

The tiger demon showed a sad look on his face. "When I was beaten and killed by those humans, my cubs were hiding in the cave waiting for me to find food and feed them. Now it has been six or seven days, and I don't know if they are still alive. If you can help me check on my cubs, take care of them, and settle them down, I will not bother you anymore. What do you think? Can you do this?"

System prompt: Trigger the long-cherished wish mission [Kuai Lishanjun’s last wish].

Task description: You encountered the remnant spirit of a tiger demon that was harassing you in your dream. The demon hoped that you could help take care of its cubs, and it would stop harassing you after you completed the task.

Mission objective: Find the tiger demon cub and successfully settle it down.

Mission reward: 300 points of merit, remove the DEBUFF 'Evil Spirit Haunting'.

Xiao Jie thought that the task had finally been issued.

He quickly replied, "Of course it can be done. Don't worry, Brother Hu. I will take care of your affairs. However, during this period, please do not disturb me casually. Otherwise, if the mission fails, your child will probably die."

"Hmph, go quickly, I won't bother you. My lair is in the tiger's den halfway up Mount Kuili. I'll guide you when you get there."

Xiao Jie exited the dream and returned to reality.

He told the two of them about his mission.

Ye Luo said: "Kuai Li Mountain... that should be on the Red Thorn Wilderness map."

"That's right. Let's go. While it's still early today, let's try to complete the task before dark."

The three of them set off immediately.

Now with the strength of three people, running around the map is no longer too stressful.

The Red Thorn Wilderness is located in the southwest of the Luoyang Plain. It is named after a kind of red thorny grass that is rampant in the area. The three of them sped all the way and soon entered the territory of the Red Thorn Wilderness. Looking around, the ground was red everywhere, which gave it a rather weird feeling. This is a three-way intersection. The southwest is the Red Thorn Wilderness, and the northwest is the Ghost Mist Ridge. It is even more dangerous there, and usually only high-level players dare to go there in a team.

Relatively speaking, the Redthorn Wilderness is relatively safe. The adventure level determined by the system is 15-25, which is only slightly more dangerous than the Falling Sun Plains.

The three knew nothing about the terrain of the Red Thorn Wilderness. Fortunately, the Dragon Soaring Knights were large and powerful, and they also had a branch here. After walking along the road for less than an hour, they saw a town on the lakeside - Tianshui Town.

A bridge crosses the lake and leads to the main entrance of the town. The town is surrounded by water in front and mountains on three sides. It is a strategically located town that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. At this moment, there are several knights waiting on the bridge.

The person in the lead looked quite familiar to Xiao Jie.

"Hey, Captain Yulong Zai Tian, ​​I didn't expect you to come to greet me in person?"

Xiao Jie was a little surprised. This Yulong Zai Tian was exactly the white knight who led a group of people to kill the tiger monster in his dream last night.

Looking above your head at this time is more intuitive.

Yulong Zai Tian (Unparalleled Fighting General): Level 33. HP 750.

Dressed in a white robe and silver armor, he looks a bit like Zhao Zilong of Changshan.

Behind him there are three players in their twenties, a warrior, a general, and a Taoist priest. They seem to be the senior executives of the Tianshui Town branch.

"Haha, no problem, no problem. I've heard of Brother Suifeng's name a long time ago. Anyway, I'm free today, so I came to join in the fun when I heard you were looking for a guide. Brother Suifeng, are you going to Kuili Mountain to do a mission?"

"Yes, can you show me the way?"

"No problem, but there are many monsters in Mount Kuili, and the three of you are of low level, so you still have to be careful."

"Haha, thank you for the reminder. We are of course prepared. Yulong will lead the way in front of Captain Tian."

All three of them were only level 20, which obviously made them not very promising. However, when he saw the professions behind their names, Yulong Zai Tian immediately put away his contempt.

The ancient Qi-refining practitioner... the Yellow Turban warrior... the Impermanence Walker... these are all rare professions that I have heard of for the first time. It is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary physics-related people.

The two sides joined together into a team. A group of seven people flew through the Red Thorn Wilderness. After flying towards the south for a while, they saw a huge mountain range in the distance, stretching before them.

Because of the red hawthorn grass growing all over the mountain range, the scene is quite magnificent.

"Mount Weili is a peak in the Chijing Mountains. Many tigers spawn nearby. We surrounded and killed the tiger monster BOSS there before." Yulong Zaitian led the way and explained at the same time.

Along the way, we saw quite a few tigers in the nearby mountains and forests.

They all seem to be level 22 or 23, and their fighting power appears to be more ferocious than that of ordinary wild beasts.

Fortunately, these tigers only appear alone and not in groups, so they pose no threat.

Here we are! This is it.

In front of a valley, Yulong Zaitian stopped.

Xiao Jie looked at the steep valley in front of him and said, "We just need to act on our own from now on."

At this moment, the location of the tiger monster cave has appeared on the small map.

"Then I wish you all a smooth operation." Yulong Zaitian said, and left with his men.

The mountain road was rugged, so they couldn't ride horses anymore. Xiao Jie summoned Big Bear, and Ye Luo also summoned zombies. The three of them, one bear and one zombie, walked along the rugged mountain road into the mountains.
