Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 251 Explode, Hell!

"Why?" Ren Yuan and Diwuwei asked in unison.

"Because Xiao Zhengde is the dream master of this 'Eternal Hatred Dream'," Xi Mei explained, "the rules within a hundred miles are all set by him. He stipulated that the three of us cannot leave this dream, so we can't get out no matter what."

"Is it really that powerful?" Ren Yuan couldn't believe it.

"He has held me here for two hundred years. I have tried countless ways of escape you can think of." Xi Mei's voice was filled with endless vicissitudes of life.

"Aren't we still trapped here?"

"Two hundred years?" Ren Yuan looked at Xi Mei in surprise. She had a head full of black hair and only shallow wrinkles on her face. She looked to be no more than thirty or forty years old, and definitely not over two hundred years old.

But after thinking about it, I knew she was telling the truth. One night in reality was equal to five days in dreamland. One full day in reality was equal to ten days here. She had been missing for twenty years in reality, so hadn't that meant two hundred years in dreamland?
"I can't tell at all." Princess Changle looked at her aunt. This was no ordinary secret to maintaining youth; it was simply immortality.

"I am indeed two hundred and twenty years old." Xi Mei sighed and said, "The reason why I look young is that Xiao Zhengde forced me to take the Red Spirit Pill regularly."

"I've never heard of the Red Spirit Pill being so effective." Diwu Wei was shocked. "The Red Spirit Pill has been around for quite a while. None of the princes and ministers in the capital can live over a hundred years by relying on it."

"Dreams and reality are different worlds. It seems that the three corpses and nine insects will not attack here." Ren Yuan thought of Zu Chongzhi, who came here before the founding of the Liang Dynasty and was much older than Xi Mei.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." The Fifth Dimension coughed and asked, "Is there no solution?"

"Yes, kill Xiao Zhengde." Xi Mei replied: "The rules he made will naturally become invalid."

"But if we kill him in a dream, he seems to be reborn." Ren Yuan frowned and said, "Besides, it's daytime outside now, Xiao Zhengde himself should not be in a dream."

"My dear nephew, you understand very well." Xi Mei nodded approvingly and said, "The Xiao Zhengde at this time is indeed not himself, but his soul demon. But killing the soul demon can still make the rules temporarily invalid until its next rebirth."

"Then let's kill his soul demon!" The Fifth Dimension said in a deep voice, "Escape before he is reborn."

"That's unacceptable! Killing the Dream Master will attract countless nightmare beasts!" Xi Mei hurriedly shook her head and said, "By then, you will have to pay for it too."

"It's okay, I have my own plan!" The Fifth Dimension said proudly, and then asked Ren Yuan in a low voice: "Right?"

"Yes." Ren Yuan nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry about it, just let go of your anger first!"

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhengde and his brothers tortured the captured men and women until they were almost dead. When they were tired, they drove the beasts pulling the cart forward, ready to give these man-eating beasts a good meal.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhengze pointed at the fort in the distance and said, "Third brother, this is not the time to cook, why is there smoke coming out of the fort?"

Xiao Zhengde turned around and immediately became furious: "It's on fire, idiot!"

As they were talking, they saw the smoke from the fort growing thicker and thicker, and a huge fire broke out.

"Go back and check!" Xiao Zhengde gave the order anxiously, and his men quickly turned their horses around and followed him back to the fort.

The gate of the fort was wide open and the people inside fled in panic.

Xiao Zhengde whipped out his horse whip, pulled a servant into the carriage, and asked sternly, "What's going on? Where is the fire?"

"Someone set fire, the fort is full of fire..." the servant reported in horror.

"You useless people, don't leave!" Xiao Zhengde shouted, and the crowd that had just been scrambling to flee seemed to be under a spell, unable to move forward. He was the king of this dreamland, and no one could disobey his orders. "Follow me back to put out the fire!" Xiao Zhengde gave another deep order, and everyone turned around and followed Xiao Zhengde back into the fort.

When Xiao Zhengde's chariot drove into the fort, he saw a dazzling white light suddenly burst out in front of him. The strong light turned the sky and the earth into black and white, and a violent shock wave erupted instantly, blowing him and his chariot into pieces.

Xiao Zhengze and others behind him were also blown into the air with their cars in the deafening explosion!
The earth-shattering explosion was so terrifying that even the heavy doors of the fort were torn apart like fragile pieces of paper by this powerful force...

This is the power of the Eight Apertures Great Supernatural Power - 'Five Elements Transformation'!

Moreover, in the dreamland, the power of illusion was greatly enhanced. The fifth dimension transformed everything near the city gate into Lord Na Zhu's "Thunderbolt Fire Bomb". When Xiao Zhengde's chariot drove in, it exploded and directly blew up the city gate of the fortress. Xiao Zhengde was killed on the spot, and none of the evil young men escaped.

In fact, this trick is really an overreaction, but in order to avoid exposure, it is just a sledgehammer to kill a nut.

Those who had managed to escape the explosion were all knocked to the ground, their ears ringing as they watched the shattered flesh and bones, twisted metal, and large and small brick and stone fragments falling from the sky, forming a terrifying "hail".

At this time, the Fifth Dimension and Ren Yuan, who caused all this, left the ruined fort with the rescue targets and rushed back to where they came from at lightning speed.

However, the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and a large black cloud appeared out of nowhere in the sky, covering everyone's heads.

Ren Yuan and Diwu Wei looked closely and were shocked. Those were not dark clouds at all, but monsters covering the sky and covering the sun.

"Nightmare Beast!" The Fifth Dimension growled, his face pale, as if a painful memory had been brought back to him.

Although Ren Yuan had long heard of the name of the Nightmare Beast, it was the first time he saw a living creature.

It looked like a rhinoceros, with a huge and strong body covered with dark blue armor. It had a ferocious tiger head with six eyes, each of which had ghostly lights flickering in it, and looked extremely scary.

There is a pair of huge fleshy wings on the back of the Nightmare Beast, and the surface of the wings is covered with dense veins, like ancient runes.

They flapped their fleshy wings and swooped down towards Ren Yuan and his group, making creepy whistling sounds that sounded like the cries of countless wronged souls, capable of arousing the deepest fear in people's hearts.

Each of these things looks very difficult to deal with, and there are too many of them, there are thousands of them...

"Let's proceed according to the plan." The Fifth Dimension ordered in a deep voice: "I will lead them away."

"Master Wei, please be careful. If you are killed by them, you will really die." Ren Yuan warned with a serious expression.

"I know." The Fifth Dimension nodded.

"Remember, keep going east to the sea." Ren Yuan reminded him again, "I'll meet you there."

"Don't worry, I've written it down." The Fifth Dimension raised the note in his hand, waved his sleeves, and teleported Ren Yuan and others away without a trace.

Then he raised his hands and turned the sand and stones on the ground into sharp arrows, which flew towards the group of nightmare beasts in the air.

As expected, it successfully attracted their attention, and they flew towards the fifth dimension in a mass.

The fifth dimension let out a long roar and took them flying towards the east.
