Chapter 403: Going Far Away
Chapter 403: Going Far Away
It happens to be the territory of the Swamp King Cobra!
After taking a look around the scenery of the first nightmare world and seeing an endless desolate swamp, Miss Snow Girl, who was being envied by the other nightmares from the bottom of her heart, couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Compared to nightmares such as the misty forest of the human-faced elves, the mirror-like blue sea of the green wave sea monster, and the endless desert of the sand dune giant worm, the barren reed land opened up by the swamp king snake, although it looks ordinary, is definitely the most dangerous one among the six dreams.
The swamp in the nightmare world is different from the reality. It does not follow the rules of the real world, but instead prioritizes the image of a swamp in the dream. Once a swamp appears in a nightmare, it mostly represents an irreversible "fall".
Therefore, in this endless dark swamp, nothing can stand on it except the white reeds that are taller than adult male humans, and any force in any direction will be drawn downward.
To exaggerate a bit, even a breeze passing by will be sucked into the dark quagmire and sink downwards. Nothing can escape, and the faster it moves, the faster it sinks. Nothing is an exception.
No matter which direction he goes next, he will be submerged little by little by the black quagmire that swallows everything, amid the desolate and distant sound of the wind in the land of wild reeds, and will be slowly dragged into the deepest part of the swamp by the entanglement of countless aquatic reeds.
Damn human, you are finished!
……
Strange, she seemed to be suddenly excited?
Looking at the beautiful Snow Girl, whose face was filled with joy and seemed to have regained her spirits, Leon could not help but glance at her in surprise, and then asked:
"Is this the nightmare world created by the Swamp King Snake? Is Director Scorpio on this floor?"
"Humph!"
"..."
Oh, yes, she didn’t have to answer.
Seeing the Snow Girl turning away and ignoring him, Leon simply put his hand on her shoulder and gave the order directly:
"Forget it, just take me to find him!"
“I can’t find it.”
Looking at the upper part of Ang's shoes that had sunk into the swamp, the joyful Snow Girl snorted and said:
"When I was outside, I was a bystander and could barely sense something. Now that you've dragged me into a dream, it's no different than being in the stomach of a swamp king snake. The smell of a swamp king snake is all around me. How can I help you find someone?"
So we can't meet up with Director Scorpio immediately?
After hearing what the Snow Girl said, Leon fell into the tall reeds, his vision severely obstructed, so he took out the sheep's head and touched it.
No one lives there...
At least within a radius of about two kilometers, there was no trace of soul fire. In this black and white swamp where strange winds were blowing all the time, there seemed to be no living creatures.
It seems that Director Scorpio may not be on this floor. Even if he is, he is very far away from his current location. It will probably take quite some time to find him.
When he thought of this, Leon couldn't help but frowned slightly.
After I just attracted a wave of hatred, once the Nightmare King escaped from the director's control and entered reality, he would most likely rush into the sixth nightmare immediately and come to hunt me down.
As the lord of nightmares, entering a nightmare is as easy as returning home. It is extremely easy for it to find its position. The [Drunken Immortal] may not be able to deal with it.
The greatest helper on his side is Director Scorpio, who is trapped in a six-fold nightmare. Only by joining up with Director Scorpio before the King of Nightmares finds him can he be truly safe.
It seems like we have to start a race against time.
After figuring out what he should do most, Leon took out the long-legged [Witch's Broom] and rode on it because his vision was blocked by white reeds that were more than a meter tall and he could not see very far.
The scope of this nightmare world is really too large, and Sheep Head's soul vision cannot cover it completely. If you want to find traces of Director Scorpio's activities, you can only rely on your own naked eyes.
Considering that there has been a strong wind in this swamp, the visibility is pretty good. If you rely solely on the naked eye, you can probably see more than ten kilometers... Hmm? What's going on?
Lyon only rose less than a meter into the air before being pulled by a strange suction force and falling uncontrollably diagonally, falling back into the reeds with a plop. Confused by this unexpected development, Lyon tried again, even mobilizing the airflow shield of the [Witch's Broom] for support.
But this time the outcome was even worse than before. It rose less than half a meter into the air before it fell headfirst due to the whirlpool-like pulling force and fell into the swamp, covered in mud.
This is strange... Is there also a no-fly policy here?
"Stop struggling, you can't fly."
Looking at Leon who had fallen twice in a row and had sunk to his knees in the swamp, the Snow Girl, with tears still on her face, couldn't help but hum with a look of satisfaction:
“Although you dragged me out of the snowy mountains, you are only at the level of an ordinary third-level cleaner. You can’t even resist the shielding of my memory. After entering the Wild Reed Land, you are naturally bound by the rules here.
In the wild reed land of the Swamp King Snake, nothing can stay in the swamp except these white reeds, and the faster you move, the faster you sink, so you'd better stay still!"
Can nothing be left on the swamp except reeds?
After listening to the Snow Girl's words, Leon blinked and then asked back:
"So, if I weave a pair of shoes out of these reeds, can I stand on the swamp?"
"what?"
Leon's question confused her mind. The snow girl subconsciously blinked her ice-blue eyes, and the smile on her face froze slightly.
Only reeds can grow on the swamp, so we can make a pair of shoes out of reeds? This... this...
"Don't just stand there, get to work."
Unable to get an answer from the Snow Girl, Leon did not hesitate, but took out a knife and cut off two bundles of reeds, stuffed one of them into the confused Snow Girl's hands, and then asked:
“Can you weave shoes?”
"Won't……"
"Then follow my steps!"
"..."
Looking at Leon who was actually starting to weave straw sandals by crossing the white reeds horizontally and vertically, the Snow Girl couldn't help but feel angry for a moment, regretting that she shouldn't have said too much.
However, once words are spoken, it is too late to regret now. Unable to disobey the [Unfair Snake Contract], she could only imitate Leon's method with an angry look on her face and clumsily weave straw sandals.
You bastard! You actually asked me to make shoes for you... I'm going to make the most painful pair of shoes! It will hurt you to death if you step on them!
With full of malice in her heart, the Snow Girl tugged fiercely at the reed in her hand, wishing that it would immediately turn into a cactus so that her stinky feet that stepped on it would turn into a spray bottle.
However, just as she was gritting her teeth and fidgeting with the reeds, she saw Leon pause slightly in his hand and look at her in surprise.
"Didn't you say that everything would sink except the reeds?"
Looking down at the snow girl's white and tender feet stepping on the black mud, Leon couldn't help but frowned and said:
"Why can you stand on the mud without sinking?"
"Why should I sink?"
The Snow Girl snorted when she heard this:
"Even without the nightmare core, I am still a nightmare messenger of the same level as the Swamp King Snake. Of course, I will not be affected by the Wild Reed Land... You... Why did you throw away your straw sandals? What are you looking at me for? Don't come over here!"
