Eternal Night

Chapter 197 Entering the Dragon
Hao Cheng and Hao Yunfeng both lay on the ground, retching and coughing violently. They even vomited some kind of meat. It was unclear whether it was internal organs or something else. It was still squirming when it fell to the ground, and it rotted into a ball after a few seconds.

Not only them, the two little animals were also trembling and curled up into a ball, their bodies twitching constantly, especially Jiujiu, who fainted directly.

However, as the warriors in the distance showed strange visions, they all went to the meteorite crater. The strange atmosphere that emerged from the meteorite crater suddenly dissipated a lot. Although there were still some twists and turns, at least it would not cause the distortion of all things. This also gave them a chance to catch their breath.

"What was that? What was that just now? It's so horrible!" Hao Yunfeng said while retching.

"The source... that's the source." Hao Cheng said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that in such a dream world with normal technology, the source would appear directly..."

Hao Yunfeng asked in confusion: "Origin-level nightmare? My team has defeated it before. Although it is scary, it is not this exaggerated!?"

Hao Cheng shook his head and said, "What you are talking about is the root-level nightmare, not the root... The so-called root-level nightmare is the strongest one or several nightmares that bring pollution to a dream world, and they are extremely hostile to us maintenance personnel. They will actively look for us, attack us, and even want to penetrate the shelter and enter Gaia. This is our definition of nightmare, right? The so-called root-level nightmare actually means the strongest nightmare in that dream world."

This is the nightmare known to the maintenance personnel. As for the division of level one nightmare, level two nightmare, and level three nightmare, it is based on their strength and subjective initiative, as well as whether their strength will drop drastically due to going to the next level of the dream world.

These were all common sense, and Hao Yunfeng certainly couldn't have been unaware of them, but he really had no idea what was going to happen next.

"Then where do these nightmares come from?" Hao Cheng asked.

Hao Yunfeng was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "Pollution, it comes from pollution, what's the problem with this?"

"It's a big problem."

Hao Cheng shook his head and said, "In fact, I am not very clear about it. My captain is very interested in this and has conducted a lot of in-depth research. He told me that the so-called pollution is actually a special rule, energy, or something else. It is essentially non-biased and is a neutral selection evolution mechanism. As long as you can resist it, the pollution will be transformed into extraordinary power that conforms to the worldview, civilization, and race of the dream world, and ultimately completely change the underlying structure of this world and turn it into an extraordinary world."

"There may be other secrets, but it is true that pollution equals transcendence. However, nightmares are different. Many nightmares are actually incompatible with the dream world and appear to be alien. Moreover, nightmares above level 2 will begin to erode and distort the world itself. Level 3 nightmares will even cut off a piece of the world to form independent domains, small worlds, etc. These are obviously not the products of the dream world itself, but external erosion."

At this point, Hao Cheng sighed and said, "My captain is actually very powerful. He has studied the information and knowledge of several 0.6 dream worlds, and then he concluded that nightmares are the tentacles of those terrifying powers in deeper dream worlds. For some reason, these terrifying powers cannot go to the dream world in the high-security area in person, so they split out seeds that match their domains and characteristics, and these seeds are nightmares. The so-called root-level nightmares are nothing more than the nightmares that have the deepest erosion in this dream world and are the most powerful."

"The real source is those terrifying powers. They all come from the baseline reality of 0.3 and the dream world below 0.3!"

Hao Yunfeng finally understood. He glanced at the distance with fear. There was a fire in the crater and there were endless shouts of killing. He didn't dare to look any further and immediately looked away and said, "So... that thing on the moon is the source?"

Hao Cheng nodded affirmatively and said, "At least it is part of the root! In fact, the Black Forest goat kid we fought before was very dangerous. The Black Forest goat kid actually came from the baseline reality of 0.3 or below, but it was just a kid, something like a nightmare, not the root. The real root should be the Black Forest goat. If it really comes out, it is probably the same as the huge pupil on the moon. Even if it is only a part of it, it will also cause a world-destroying disaster."

Hao Yunfeng was deeply shocked. He had never heard of this information before. At the same time, he was also terrified of the deep-seated terror in the dream world. He was silent for a while and asked again, "What's the situation now? We were all about to die and distorted just now, but suddenly the changes stopped. Although there are still effects now, they are within the tolerable range...Did Chu Minghao do something?"

Hao Cheng thought about it but shook her head. She glanced at the sky but didn't dare to look any further. She immediately lowered her head and said, "Chu Minghao is a super brain, and the strongest super brain. In the Fourth World War, he almost swept through everything and suppressed everything by himself. He is an anomaly among us humans. He can actually fight a part of the source in space. This is unimaginable. But he probably can't dispel the pollution and erosion brought by the source. According to the notes left by my captain, only the source can fight the source... It is estimated that the source of erosion in this world has appeared!"

Having said that, Hao Yunfeng no longer had any doubts.

In fact, this is also what many maintenance teams and maintenance squads have been exploring.

Why did Chu Minghao choose this dream world? What is so special about this dream world? Why are there countless monsters outside the curtain, while the environment inside the curtain is similar to the baseline reality 0.9 dream world?

This kind of situation is something that many maintenance teams have never heard of or seen before.

So they had a guess, that is, there might be some special reason hidden in this dream world that could shield away monsters and demons, maybe it was some kind of treasure, or there was something more terrifying than those monsters and demons.

Now it has only been verified... This world itself has a root-level existence that has a continuous influence!
"Are they those warriors?" Hao Yunfeng spoke again.

Hao Cheng shook his head but said nothing.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and several more meteorites fell to the surrounding land. The terrifying atmosphere condensed again. Hao Yunfeng and Hao Cheng were both concentrating and ready to face the same great terror as before, but they immediately saw some human figures more than three meters tall, with black exoskeletons, angular heads, and red flames burning all over their bodies in the distance rushing towards the meteorite crater. As these human figures rushed forward, the strange atmosphere was suppressed again.

Hao Yunfeng looked at everything in the distance and lamented loudly: "They...those warriors are all very nice!"

Hao Cheng closed his eyes and murmured, "Good people don't live long, evil will last for thousands of years... We have tried our best. This is not caused by us, nor is it caused by us. This is fate..."

As the two men lamented and felt helpless, suddenly one of the figures running in the distance seemed to have discovered this place. It was also a human figure over three meters tall, with only one horn on its head, and red flames visible to the naked eye burning all over its body. It suddenly broke away from the main group and ran towards where the two men were.

Both of their hearts skipped a beat, and neither of them dared to delay and stood up slowly. They saw that the human figure was running at an extremely fast speed of one hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty meters per second, and it was close to them in just a moment. When they looked closely, they could still vaguely see that its face was a human, and it was a Hua Jin warrior that the two of them knew.

Both of them were staring at the deformed Hua Jin warrior, and then they were surprised to see that the Hua Jin warrior's face was full of pain, his eyes were constantly shedding tears, but his mouth was smiling grimly, his teeth had become extremely sharp, his bloody mouth was constantly spewing out black and red breath, and a foot-long tongue was constantly licking his upper and lower lips.

Seeing this scene, the two of them cried out in their hearts that something was wrong. Sure enough, the Hua Jin warrior let out a strange cry, and actually raised his claws and pounced towards the two of them, with a sinister aura coming towards them.

The two were already tired and exhausted, and with the influence of the strange field just now, they were weak in both hands and feet. Looking at the warrior monster rushing towards them, the two could not even resist and could only close their eyes and wait for death.

But just as the warrior monster was about to pounce on him, a burst of scorching sulfur fell from the sky and with a snap, crushed the warrior monster into meat paste.

The two of them looked over immediately, and at first sight they were shocked: jackals had gone, and tigers and leopards had returned.

Right in front of the two of them, a creature about four meters tall, with dragon wings on its back, covered with black dragon scales, and a half-human, half-dragon body, appeared. Flames were burning all over its body, but they were not flaming flames. Instead, they were real sulfur flames. With just one kick from the sky, it crushed the seemingly invincible warrior monster into a pulp.

Ruined!
Hao Yunfeng and Hao Cheng groaned at the same time. They even felt a burning sensation on their bodies. This monster could kill them just by getting closer. The sulfur flames flowed on the ground, and even the rocks on the ground began to burn and melt.

"...Don't be...afraid."

A voice suddenly sounded, and both of them were stunned. They saw the monster turning around. Although the face was a little distorted and blurry, it was undoubtedly Wu Xianxiao's face.

“Brother Wu!”

Hao Yunfeng and Hao Cheng shouted at the same time, and then they saw Wu Xianxiao waving at them with difficulty, signaling them not to come closer.

"I can't control myself anymore...please don't come near me..."

Wu Xianxiao spoke with difficulty, and while he was talking he was moving away quickly. When he was several hundred meters away, he suddenly spread his wings and flew into the air. When he was about to spread his wings and continue to fly away, he suddenly saw hundreds of those warrior monsters densely packed around him. He had seen some of these warriors before, some of whom were skilled in both open and hidden forces.

Each of them was more than three meters tall, with one or more horns on their foreheads, flames burning all over their bodies, and each of their expressions was struggling and distorted.

then……

Wu Xianxiao saw Zhou Qingqing.
