Chapter 709: The Dream of the 5th Rank Powerhouse (Medium)

There was a sound of laughing and playing, and a group of young girls who were about the same age as the young knotweed chasing each other appeared in Lei Xiao's field of vision bouncing around.

Seeing the young knotweed under the big tree, the group of boys and girls all stopped in unison and looked straight over.

Some of them hold wooden swords in their hands, some wear weird dragon masks, and some wear princess dresses. Although they are dressed in different ways, the eyes looking at the knotweed are full of banter and contempt. It's like seeing a different kind that doesn't fit in.

"Isn't this the knotweed, the son of the dragon slayer?"

The leader of the boy with the wooden sword took a step forward, snorted coldly and said, "My father said, I will file a complaint with the elder grandpa today, and drive you father and son out of the village!"

"Really? It's great, I finally don't have to see this stupid big guy who is an eyesore!"

Another skinny boy with a dragon mask on his head also said, "Letting a dragon slayer live in the village is an insult to our Jinglong Village!"

"That's right, my mother said that if you play with such a person, you will be punished sooner or later!"

The girl in the tattered princess dress first carefully glanced at the young knotweed, seeing that the knotweed did not respond, she put her hips on her hips and agreed,

"Smash him! Smash him!"

After speaking, the group of teenagers and girls laughed and picked up the stones one after another, and threw them towards the position where the young knotweed was.

And the young Polygonum cuspidatum under the tree heard the sound, and just looked at them indifferently, as if he had long been used to this kind of scene, avoiding those thrown stones without saying a word.

It is not difficult to see from the flexible figure of the young knotweed that at this age, he has at least reached the strength of a third-tier senior expert, or even a third-tier peak expert.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help frowning.

From the eyes of the young knotweed, apart from indifference, he also saw deep helplessness, anger, and even a hint of urgency and desire to join the other party.

"It's not that the knotweed is so frightening that the children in the village dare not come out to play. It's obviously the children in the village who wantonly bully the knotweed."

Thinking of the complaints and accusations he heard at the door of the large round house before, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Such a scene makes it easy to imagine how many white eyes and criticisms the knotweed at that time experienced, and then grew up alone day after day.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the youth of the knotweed was very unsatisfactory."

Jin Wen's indignant crisp voice came to Lei Xiao's ears: "The father of the knotweed seems to be a dragon slaying warrior of the fifth rank, and from the situation of avoiding the stones just now, it is not difficult to see that the talent of the knotweed is the same. Its a rare event in a century.

"It's unbelievable that such a light of the human race has fallen to such a point."

After a pause, Jin Wen frowned again and added: "And the title "Dragon Slayer" is obviously derogatory, like a murderer. "

"That's right, in normal epics, although there are all kinds of dragon slaying braves, everyone will stand up at the critical moment regardless of their own safety, and save the people from the fire and water under the raging dragon's breath, so they will become legends The hero in the story is dubbed the "brave" reputation, and then passed down through the ages. "

Lei Xiao nodded, and said thoughtfully: "But here it is completely opposite, the dragon slaying brave man has become the one most despised by thousands of people, which is obviously unreasonable, and the people here seem to have an abnormal worship of the dragon race." .

"That's true, whether it's from the respectful title of "Dragon King", the scornful title of "Dragon Slayer", or from the details of the dragon masks worn by the teenagers, the folk customs here are indeed very strange. "

Jinwen's willow eyebrows knit together, sighed softly and said: "I have to say, it's really a sad thing that the dragon slaying brave is so despised by others."

Just when the two were talking about this, the group of boys and girls who threw stones at the juvenile knotweed had already run away laughing, as if what they were mocking and ridiculing just now were just flowers and plants on the roadside.

Not long after, the door of a large round house not far away was opened, and Hu Zhang's father walked out with a look of disappointment and helplessness. Seeing this, the young Hu Zhang immediately went up to meet him.

And Lei Xiao and Jin Wen followed closely behind, closely following beside Hu Zhang.

"Father, are they really not letting us continue living here?"

When he got closer, he saw the eager expression of the young Hu Zhang, and he hurriedly asked: "Those scoundrels must have spoken ill of us in front of the elder grandpa, right?"

"It's us who affect life here, and it's not their fault."

Hu Zhang's father touched Hu Zhang's head and said with a smile, "Okay, pack up your things, a new journey is about to begin."

"However, this is the ninth time we have moved this year."

The boy's gaze dimmed, and he lowered his head and said, "Father, can't you and I leave this kingdom? Why do we have to suffer from such supercilious looks every day?"

"Knotweed, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing the sound, the gentle face of the father of the knotweed suddenly became serious, and he said seriously: "My family has been the guardian of the "Dragon Falling Kingdom" for generations, and fought **** battles to protect this country. Leaving this land that has bred my family for thousands of years? "

"Father, that's all happened before. From the moment we were ruthlessly kicked out of the royal capital, this country no longer needs us! Even those who once killed five giant dragons for this country and saved Countless people, even you who saved a country, have become the object of people's jokes!"

The young Knotweed's expression became a little resentful, and he tried his best to argue: "You used to be the grand duke of dragon slaying with great glory, but now even the villagers you saved once look down on you, If that's the case, what reason do we have to stay here?"

"Knotweed, the roots of our family are in this land, and the branches and leaves are also in this land. This land has witnessed the battles of our countless ancestors, buried the remains of countless ancestors, and left countless legends of our ancestors. This is the soul of our family, our indelible glory and brilliance in this land."

The resolute face of Hu Zhang's father became reverent, and he said meaningfully to Hu Zhang: "So, just like a tree cannot survive without its roots, no matter what happens in this land, this is still our home, and we still have to keep silent. Guarding this land, perhaps, this is the guardian's destiny."

"Fate... the price of fate is to be criticized by others and bear everything alone?"

On the face of the young knotweed, there was a maturity that did not match his age, and he said coldly: "I understand, but the reason why I stay in this land is only for my father, and this place is not worth my guarding!"

After finishing speaking, the young Polygonum cuspidatum bit his lip tightly, and walked in the front without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Judging from the painful expression on the face of the knotweed before turning back, this place can indeed be called his nightmare.

After all, the person that Polygonum cuspidatum admires and yearns for the most is his father, the brave dragon slayer, but in this gray-black mountain village, everyone sneers at his father, just like looking at a pile of garbage.

"His Excellency, it seems that the country where the knotweed is located is indeed an extremely abnormal place."

While following the footsteps of Hu Zhang and his son, Jin Wen frowned and said, "I don't know what kind of accident happened here, so that a hero like Dragon Slaying Brave becomes the object of people's disdain?"

"As long as we understand this, maybe we can wake up the knotweed that has fallen into the illusion."

Lei Xiao also immediately took his own steps, following closely behind Hu Zhang and his son.

It didn't take long, and the father and son of Hu Zhang suddenly disappeared at the end of a country road.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly looked at Jin Wen with his arms wrapped around his chest, and asked puzzledly, "What's going on here?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, just like I said just now, we are only on the surface of the illusion, or the surface of the nightmare woven by the "Dream Eater" for the knotweed. "

I saw Jin Wen smiled, and said calmly: "The body of the knotweed has already gone deeper into the dream, and the "Dream Devouring Realm" is to let the trapped people continue to reincarnate in these dreams, in order to Aggravate the mental breakdown of the trapped. "

"Understood, how can we go to the depths of the dream?"

Lei Xiao suddenly nodded, rubbed his chin and asked.

"Using ordinary methods is very difficult, but standing in front of you is the number one illusionist in the Kingdom of Cold Flames."

The smile on Jin Wen's fair face was even bigger, I saw him silently reciting a few incantations, and at the same time pointing his fingers one after another in mid-air.

Immediately, with a burst of white mist rising, a spiral translucent cyan portal appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

"As expected of a master of illusion."

Feeling surprised, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and stepped into the portal one after another with Jin Wen.

The portal in the illusion did not give Lei Xiao a sense of weightlessness like the real space portal.

Rather like a real gate, when Lei Xiao stepped through the threshold, the surrounding scene changed immediately.

Looking around, Lei Xiao found himself in an extremely dark place.

This is a vast underground space, with dots of golden fluorescent lights shining everywhere, like some kind of fireflies, and like the deep night sky.

Not far away, the outline of an extremely majestic large city is looming, like a giant beast, lying quietly deep in the ground.

"A huge underground city?"

Looking at the city structure that was quite similar to Furnace Castle, Lei Xiao had a look of astonishment on his face, and muttered to himself: "Why does this city, which is obviously of a foreign race, appear in the dream of Knotweed?"

However, the scene in front of him flashed by.

Lei Xiao only felt a cyan light flashing suddenly, and when his vision was clear again, the surrounding scene had changed to a large and solemn military camp again.

"Sorry, Your Excellency, the underground city just now was an accident, please don't take it to heart."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Jinwen's fair face, and he said in a hurry: "This is the real dream reflection of the knotweed stick."

"I see."

Looking at Jin Wen's panicked expression, Lei Xiao immediately reacted.

Before entering the illusion, Jin Wen once introduced that this "Dream Devouring Realm" can not only reflect the dream of the target, but also occasionally reflect the depths of the hearts of other intruders or trapped people.

For example, the pure white temple that I saw at the beginning is the image of Lian's heart.

"The heart of Jin Wen is concrete, why is it a magnificent underground city? Could it be that the body under the illusion disguise is not a human race, but a dwarf race?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the tall and slender mature witch beside him, and couldn't help curling his lips. Such a huge contrast was simply unimaginable.

However, Lei Xiao quickly put his attention back on the new scene around him.

At present, it is important to let the knotweed stick out of the illusion, it is not the time to think about other things.

Looking around, Lei Xiao noticed further.

This is a temporary military camp surrounded by wooden fences. There are many arrow towers in the distance and tents nearby. It can be seen that the scale is very large.

And the sky above his head was still extremely gloomy gray-black, coupled with the sound of armor clashing from groups of patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time, a strange murderous aura rushed towards his face.

"I remember that when we were chatting, the knotweed once accidentally revealed that he had been in the army for a while, so this should be the scene back then, right?"

Looking at the line of spearmen marching neatly in front of him, Lei Xiao murmured in his heart: "Judging from the gray-black sky and the characteristics of this illusion, this is obviously not a good memory. "

"Your Majesty, look at the battle flags fluttering in the barracks and the coats of arms on the tents, almost all of them are various dark green dragon patterns."

Jin Wen's voice came to Lei Xiao's ears again: "It seems that the people here really worship the giant dragon, more precisely, the green dragon."

"Indeed."

Lei Xiao nodded silently.

There are many kinds of dragons in this world.

In addition to the Red Dragon that Red Night belongs ~ there are also Blue Dragons who are good at water spells, Sonic Dragons who are good at sonic booms, purple-winged dragons who are good at lightning and dark spells, and so on.

Among them, the green dragon who is good at poison and corrosion spells is also included.

"According to Hong Ye, green dragons are famous for their cunning and cruelty among the dragon clan. The protagonists in many dragon disasters in history are this kind of green dragons that can spray and corrode all poisonous dragon breaths."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

The heavy horn sounded, and a messenger riding a horse galloped past Lei Xiao, shouting: "The assault brigade led by Captain Huzhang was wiped out, and only Captain Huzhang survived!"

As soon as the messenger's voice fell, the chill atmosphere in the barracks suddenly became a little subtle.

Not long after, a burly figure in blood-stained silver armor hobbled over from the direction of the camp gate.

Lei Xiao looked at it intently, and found that this person was none other than the scarred young Hu Zhang.
