Global Mining.

Chapter 737: Infiltration, Delay, and Seizure
The phantom seemed quite interested: "You mean that puppet that ravaged four cities in two days? How much do you know about it?"

Da Chun pointed at Mina: "It even sent its capable subordinate, the Nightmare Dragon, to guide me. It's said that it has several powerful beings like the Nightmare Dragon, which is why it was able to launch an attack on four cities..."

The phantom laughed: "But I clearly heard the Nightmare Dragon call you 'dear master'!"

Forehead?
Da Chunhan said, "Because she is instructing me as a maid, of course she can call me master!"

Mina also said, "My master is the true Lord of Nightmares!"

That's actually correct!

Da Chun quickly changed the subject: "So, I'm very sincere about cooperating. I've already pledged allegiance to the Lord of Nightmares. I really don't know about you, sir!"

The phantom laughed, "But that's not what you said to Baron Daydream at noon!"

Damn, damn, damn!

Da Chunhan said, "Noon is noon, and now is now. I'll make up my mind after noon..."

The phantom figure sighed, "It seems you must have made a mistake. We've been investigating this puppet as well, and it doesn't seem to have much power. As a demonized toy, it's normal for it to like lying..."

Dachun’s scalp was numb when he heard it!

Everyone says villains die from talking too much, but intelligence only has the optimal solution! His phantom patiently chattering with me must be buying time for his hidden ultimate move, but Eileen can't sense it at all!
Just then, Ellen replied, "Darling, Old Cui said that if there really is such a plant spirit that is close to a god, he only knows one old rival, Cui Fanda. Back then, when Old Cui was competing to become a god, he triggered heavenly lightning first, setting the entire forest ablaze and burning Cui Fanda down. But afterwards, all the tree spirits submitted, except for Cui Fanda! If it becomes the so-called Lord of Nightmares, its method of control is most likely to transform its divine essence into a seed that infiltrates the core of our divine realm. However, it needs to make a commotion outside to cover up the situation. But when it is finally planted, the best condition is a smooth transition, without any major disturbances."

Da Chun shuddered: "Darling, isn't the core of the Divine Realm just your residence?"

Ellen exclaimed, "Old Cui said that my divine realm has five layers from the outside in, so it will require at least five major disturbances to cover it up!"

5 times?
Da Chun's mind raced!

The first time was undoubtedly when my daydream appeared at noon, and I used her to attract my attention! She then invaded my consciousness, but the system didn't give any notification, which can be considered a successful cover-up.

The second time was probably during the Nightmare War, when he had already invaded the first layer of the Ruins Dream.

However, Ellen has a move that directly drags the Nightmare Bird to the third layer. His seed may have skipped the farm dream and already reached the Red Sea Island dream on the third layer!

So he only had one last level left to break through the underwater space and reach the bottom mansion!

So, he started babbling to get my attention! He just wanted a smooth transition without any major disturbances!

Ellen said, "Old Cui also said that if the other party is Cui Fanda, then we should buy time for Old Cui to prepare the True Name Technique. When the time comes, we should call out the other party's true name, and he will be startled! The seed will also be exposed!"

Ah, the legendary True Name Technique! Eve said that as long as you know the demon's true name, you can do this and that!
Da Chun then broke out in a cold sweat and said, "What if it's not Cui Fanda?"

Eileen sighed, "After all, Old Cui can only help with things within his understanding!"

Okay, it's another plant spirit, and it's become some kind of god again. I'm pretty sure it is! If it isn't... can I kneel down? Will the game's AI completely devour me without leaving a trace?

Da Chun instructed, "Don't worry about anything else, just focus on sensing the space of the mansion!"

Eileen replied nervously, "Understood!"

……

Seeing that Da Chun remained silent, the old man smiled and asked, "Have you figured it out?" As long as he was sure that Da Chun was stalling for time, Da Chun wouldn't do anything to him, regardless of whether he cooperated or not.

Da Chun sighed, "I've figured it out. What I told Baron Daydream at noon was the truth. I'm just a prisoner. I have no choice; I choose whoever comes my way. Even if I made the wrong choice, I beg your forgiveness, sir. To show my sincerity and demonstrate my abilities, may I invite you to visit the Divine Realm?"

Since he's an illusion and not afraid of being hit, he has no reason to refuse as long as he can continue to stall for time.

The phantom smiled with satisfaction: "I sense that the next level of your divine realm is very prosperous. I'd like to go and take a look."

Da Chun was flattered and said, "This way, sir!"

Damn it, all the core secrets have been seen. So I only have two choices: either find his seed and destroy him completely to become my nourishment, or all my hard work this past month has been for nothing…

Upon arriving at the farm space, the illusory figure was quite surprised: "What is this building?"

Do you want to figure out the purpose so it'll be easier to take over? Actually, I built it haphazardly too!

Da Chun said, "This is a dance floor; we use lights, dance, and music to stimulate crop growth!"

The illusory figure laughed heartily: "Very fruitful! Your crops here are excellent."

Then he asked, "Are those runes carved on the wall?"

Da Chun laughed and said, "It was copied from an ancient book, which is said to be beneficial to crop growth!"

The phantom stared silently at the rune for a long time.

Okay, pretending to be profound is just stalling for time!
Finally, the phantom laughed and said, "Quite good. You are an outstanding young man. Even if you go to jail, it doesn't matter. We actually have quite a bit of influence in Oak City. We can help you regain your freedom under the pretext of labor bail."

Da Chun was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir!"

The phantom asked again, "What about that ancient book?"

Holy crap, no wonder you're a plant, you really understand it! But, how so?
Just then, Eileen's excited voice rang out: "Get ready! It would be best to go to the third floor and have the sorcerer call his name through the ship's loudspeaker!"

As expected of Lao Cui! I'll bet you your entire month's fortune on guessing correctly!
Da Chun said happily, "The ancient book is on the third floor. I don't quite understand it. I would like to ask for your guidance, sir!"

The phantom laughed heartily: "You've already reached the third level! You're so outstanding, I'd even consider giving you the title of Lord of Nightmares!"

Are you telling the truth? You possessed me, so naturally you've given me your body?
The scene changed, and Da Chun and his group arrived at the third floor.

At this moment, Da Chun was extremely nervous and was ready to launch the attack at any time!
Just then, the pirate ship's loudspeaker blared: "Trevanta Asipa Knock on you!!!"

The phantom trembled violently!

At that very instant, Da Chun's screen flashed red—System notification: Warning! Divine Invasion!!!
Eileen's startled cry rang out: "Quick—darling—"

At the same time, a rainbow of light flashed throughout the entire divine realm—System notification: Ellen has activated the divine realm skill "Power of Miracles"!
The next moment, Da Chun appeared at the mansion and suddenly saw a blurry golden light in the garden being held down by a rainbow-colored miracle power!

Holy crap, it's broken through and infiltrated the bottom layer!

Without a word, Da Chun lunged forward and pinned him down—System notification: Warning! You have captured the divine essence of the Nightmare Lord Cui Fanda, and your soul is being intensely burned by soul fire!
