Chapter 154 The Palace of Dreams
Everyone's nerves instantly tensed, their eyes fixed on the deep, dark pit.

Bo Jing was the first to rush to the edge of the pit and peer down.

It's too dark down there; I can't see anything clearly.

"Yiyang, is it dangerous down there?"

Yi Yang glanced around. The gray earthen walls and the pale blue dream stones beneath his feet—what danger could there be? At most, the pit would collapse and bury him.

Yi Yang placed his hands on the earthen walls of the pit, and gradually, the soft soil in his palms turned into solid rock.

He clapped his hands triumphantly and wiped himself down: "No problem now."

"There's no danger down there! You can come down now!"

Bo Jing nodded and stood up: "Yi Yang said there's nothing wrong down there, let's go down quickly."

Everyone nodded, and Bo Jing carried Ye Xi'an as they slowly descended, while the others jumped directly.

"So dark?" It was pitch black, but they had night vision, so it wasn't a big problem.

"It'll definitely be dark at 20 meters," Yi Yang said, stretching his arms out to Ye Xi'an's chest, obediently waiting for Ye Xi'an's praise.

Ye Xi'an smiled helplessly and reached out to give him a hard pat on the head.

Lin Zhijing squatted down, his well-defined fingers gently brushing the soil-strewn ground, and the stones under his hand flashed with blue light.

"It is indeed a dream stone. It looks like... many pieces pieced together?"

Ji Jiangci moved closer, looking at the faint light. His pale face was expressionless, except for a barely perceptible ripple deep in his eyes.

He remembers these things.

"Dream collected the dream stones from the Dreamweaver Star, then used saliva to fuse them together, creating a dream stone palace underground!"

palace?

Lin Zhijing frowned: "You mean there's actually more space down there?"

Ji Jiangci nodded: "Yes, the dream lives there."

Ye Xi'an had an idea. She wondered if she could find the dream and make it return the life force it had absorbed. That would be much more reliable than using her bodily fluids.

"Let me take another look."

Ye Xi'an extended his spiritual energy again, cautiously spreading downwards.

The moment I touched those "stones," a cold, sticky sensation traveled back along the strands of spiritual energy.

Unlike the simple energy fluctuations she had experienced before, this time she sensed a... living, wriggling motion.

Ye Xi'an felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

"This thing... seems a bit off."

As soon as she finished speaking, the faint light at the bottom of the pit flickered suddenly.

An indescribable chill permeated the pit, carrying the smell of decaying vegetation.

The soil on the pit walls began to fall off in a rustling sound.

Several thin, dark green vines, like venomous snakes, silently emerged from the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the pit and climbed upwards along the slippery mud walls.

"Oh no! Everyone, get up there quickly!"

Bo Jing shouted sharply, and his gray wings instantly unfurled, creating a gust of wind as he carried Ye Xi'an upwards.

Yi Yang also sensed something was wrong. He climbed up using both his hands and feet, and the yellowish-brown light shone again, trying to reinforce the pit walls.

But those vines were even faster.

Their target seems to be Yiyang.

Several vines flashed and wrapped around Yi Yang's ankles.

"careful!"

Ye Xi'an's mental energy suddenly shot out, lashing at the vines like a whip.

"Snapped!"

The vines paused for a moment after being struck, and Ye Xi'an also paused. Her mental energy threads could actually hit people? Did that mean she also had a means of self-defense?

Before Ye Xi'an could even rejoice, the vines began to writhe even more wildly. More vines surged from the bottom of the pit, densely packed, and spread upwards.

They no longer attacked only Yiyang, but instead attacked everyone around the pit.

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?!"

Bo Jing cursed, and several wind blades appeared out of thin air, slashing at the vines.

The wind blade sliced ​​through, severing the vines, but new branches immediately sprouted from the cut, seemingly endless.

Lin Zhijing's expression was solemn. He opened his hands, and the metal minerals on the ground were quickly extracted and condensed.

"Zheng!"

Several metal shields were placed in front of the group.

The vines struck the shield with a dull thud, leaving shallow dents.

"This thing is absorbing energy!"

Lin Zhijing said in a deep voice. He could feel the energy in the metal shield draining away rapidly. It seemed that the only way to deal with this thing was to attack, not defend.

Ji Jiangci also moved; he was a wood-type, capable of manipulating plants.

But the dark green vines didn't obey his commands at all and were hardly affected by his supernatural abilities.

His strength... has declined too drastically.

Ye Xi'an sat in Bo Jing's arms, and apart from attacking with his mental energy threads, he stared at the bottom of the pit.

She could sense that the core of these vines seemed to be at the bottom of the pit. Was it a dream?

A series of unsettling fluctuations emanated from there, as if something was awakening.

Once everyone reached the ground, vines sprouted from the hole and continued to grow.

"Yiyang! Can you still move?"

Lin Zhijing used a metal knife to block the vines while shouting at Yi Yang.

"Yes...yes!"

"Can you seal the hole?"

"Huh?" Yi Yang was a little reluctant. He had gone to great lengths to dig it out. If it were sealed up, wouldn't all his previous efforts have been for nothing?

"Hurry up! There are more and more vines." Lin Zhijing's golden sword flew everywhere, and thousands of crescent-shaped blades made of metal frantically harvested the vines in the air. Broken branches and roots fell from the sky like rain.

Lin Zhijing frowned; he never wanted to see vines again in his life.

Whether it's the previous Severola or the current Dreamweaver, it's always vine monsters.

"Ok."

Yi Yang gritted his teeth and pressed his hands again on the earthen mound he had piled up by the pit.

Earth elements surged, and the soil collapsed towards the pit, attempting to seal the vines beneath.

However, a low hiss, seemingly coming from the depths of the earth, came from the bottom of the pit.

A powerful mental shockwave suddenly spread out, and the soil exploded from the bottom of the pit like fireworks, covering Beng Yiyang in mud.

As the energy fluctuations struck them, the scene before their eyes began to distort and blur.

This feeling is very familiar to Ji Jiangci; it's the feeling of entering a dream.

"It's using its powers! It's trying to trap us in this dream! Everyone, don't fall asleep!"

But when sleepiness strikes, it's not something you can simply refuse to sleep.

Ye Xi'an's pupils dilated slightly, as if he were seeing countless shattered images.

There are scenes of fighting side by side with Bo Jing in the ancient beast world.

There is a profile view of Lin Zhijing, who is focused on his experiment in the laboratory.

Yi Yang foolishly circled around her, calling her "wife."

And... Ji Jiangci gently combed her hair, but his eyes held an unyielding melancholy.

A faint, ethereal voice echoed in her mind, possessing a seductive power.
