Dream Travel

Chapter 357 The timing is wrong
"Do you humans really enjoy self-sacrifice so much?" Luxembra roared in dissatisfaction, extremely unhappy with White Curtain's actions.

We could have gotten rid of this thing simply by luring it to a nearby camp.

More goals are always more appealing than a blank screen and one person.

"I don't want to be a wanted criminal in reality," Bai Mu said, explaining his reasons as the car accelerated.

After letting Lucy Ella drive, he immediately opened the roof of the car and pointed the hood at the monsters chasing behind.

The berserk killing intent greatly enhanced the gun's output power. Green lightning bolts shot out, and the demonic creatures hit by them accelerated without any stun.

Bai Mu's lips twitched slightly as he fired continuously, but the attacks could only inflict minor damage on the demonic creatures.

"Hahaha, it seems you've angered it."

Luxembla laughed loudly.

"I'd rather kill this thing than provoke it."

Bai Mu sheathed his weapon with a hint of melancholy. The scales of this demonic creature were too hard. As a behemoth with a body length of over 150 meters, it was difficult for external attacks to cause it any real damage.

Let's lure this thing to the Demon Territory.

Demon's Territory.

A surprise attack also occurred here. The arrival of the polar night brought more variables to the Demon Territory, and the Demon Lord no longer intended to wait.

After dealing with a group of challengers, he simply led his men to launch an attack on the invading demons.

He wants to seize what those foreign demons possess.

As for what happens next? The other side has already taken everything that is most important to them. Even if they don't know how, it doesn't matter. Those foreign demons won't give up their goal; they will only send new demons to negotiate.

Whatever happens then is up to him.

The attack came quite suddenly. Although the foreign demons were very powerful, the polar night had less of an impact on them than on the local demons.

When faced with a surprise attack, they were somewhat at a disadvantage.

In the polar night, light is hard to reach far, and everyone is in this pitch-black environment. Only hunters eager for bloody battles can get a wider field of vision.

The local demons were already used to the polar night, while the foreign demons were experiencing it for the first time.

The attack came exceptionally quickly, with the demon lord personally taking part and giving those foreign demons who dared not stand up to him a profound lesson.

However, these foreign demons also have their trump cards.

After seizing the vital protection of the foreign demons, the demon lord paid a heavy price, and some of his subordinates began to stir.

"Do you want to challenge me?"

Reaching out and grabbing a burning head, the demon lord glared menacingly at his subordinates.

He knew he had underestimated these alien demons; even though some of them had separated, the rest were still troublesome.

He was now quite injured, but the burning head in his hand was the greatest gain.

After acquiring this item, the demon lord felt a special boost.

The demon lord controls the demon territory. Although this doesn't make him invincible, he has a natural advantage as long as he's in that place.

Otherwise, when dealing with those foreign demons, they wouldn't just get injured, but would be seriously injured or die.

The foreign demons brought with them something very dangerous, something that definitely came from the hands of a more powerful demon.

Fortunately, we've already got the item. The foreign demons are either dead or have fled. All we need to do now is firmly control this burning demon head in our hands.

This thing is what the foreign demons called the 'Otherworldly Dream Source'. Although only a head remains, the head is still alive; it has simply been turned into a special demonic ornament by the foreign demons.

This actually makes it easier for him to carry; with this burning demon head, the Demon Lord's enhancement to him will increase by at least 20%.

This improvement made him feel no guilty in his current state; on the contrary, he was looking forward to some foolish subordinate making a move against him.

He's currently looking to replace his subordinates with a new batch of more capable ones.

With the bloody battle and the polar night, his demon territory will be overflowing with magical materials, so there's no need to keep this batch of subordinates who rebel.

"No... Your Excellency, you will always be our leader." Under the intimidating gaze of the demon lord, the restless demons backed down.

"Useless!" The demon lord was slightly angry; he wanted to try out his newly acquired Dream Source.

Just by carrying this thing, the Demon Lord's bonus to him increased so much. Not only that, as the Demon Lord here, he could also sense an inexplicable bonus.

It was this added influence that led his subordinates, who were preparing to rebel, to choose to submit at this time.

Despite his displeasure, the demon lord, having directly experienced the benefits of the Dream Source Skull, decided to upgrade it properly.

The hands of those foreign demons were too clumsy; the head made from the Dream Source had many flaws. This thing couldn't be used as a real ornament, otherwise it would be too easily damaged.

Moreover, thanks to the hidden bonuses this head possesses, it can even be crafted into special wands or weapons.

He planned to perform preliminary processing on the object first, and then find a skilled demon craftsman to recast it.

Having put away the source of the strange dream, the demon lord looked into the dark distance.

Perhaps because he had strengthened his control over the Demon Territory and driven away the foreign demons, he had some bad premonitions.

It seems like some major crisis is approaching.

Outside the demon territory, the escaped demons rested briefly before immediately leaving the area.

In the polar night, there are not only normal demons, but also many more cave-dwelling demons that emerge from the lower levels.

For the cave-dwelling demons, the polar night is their only chance to escape the lower realms. After the polar night ends, they will have to continue their dark and arduous scavenging life in the lower levels of hell.

Promotion is difficult, and after death, one may not even have the chance to become a hell worm.

During the polar night, they can normally come to the upper levels of hell to participate in the killing and grow stronger. As long as they can advance once, the cave-dwelling demons can get rid of this identity.

The polar night is more like hell giving these lower-level demons leniency and opportunities.

Of course, in such opportunities, normal demons can gain more.

The foreign demons are all injured now. They can still fight the mid-level demons in the demon territory, but the demon lord taking action personally has put them at a disadvantage.

They can put up a fight, but when the demon lord is willing to pay the price, they are no match for him.

Unless their master also comes to this strange, hellish place.

After a fierce battle, most of the arriving foreign demons died, and those who survived were the more capable and better at preserving their lives.

These surviving demons were neither disappointed nor afraid; their goal had been achieved.

The Source of the Otherworld was delivered to the Demon Lord, giving him the upper hand. The rest was simply a matter of cooperating with the Demon Lord to make subsequent arrangements according to his needs.

The devil in reality has devised multiple plans, and while the current development isn't the best, it's still an ideal situation.

Only demons understand demons. The original demons in reality have a clear understanding of what their kind might do.

After this happened, battle losses were also within the plans of those native demons; every demon wanted to reduce its competitors.

As for everyone working together and then sharing the spoils equally? Anyone who thinks like that isn't a devil!

“After the polar night passes, let’s contact the demon lord,” said one of the foreign demons, killing several demons who had surrounded them.

Their wounds held a great attraction for these demons deep in the polar night.

Even if they were injured, they were still not something these lower-level demons could handle, unless there were too many lower-level demons surrounding them.

“First, find those who went to hunt down that human,” another demon said.

The demons who left the demon territory first were also from their side. Although it seemed like the assignment was arranged and the other side didn't quite agree, they did it as a precaution.

This preventative measure is now coming in handy.

As for the demons who died in the Demon Territory, since some of them weren't on their side anyway, they were dead and that was that. Even if this hadn't happened, they would have killed some of them if given the chance.

Even among demons, there are small groups.

They are not from small groups; they are all potential or overt competitors.

Now that the demons' small group has been reduced by more than half, their competitive pressure will be much less.

Several groups of foreign demons escaped from the Demon Territory; this group is just one of them.

Once they found another group of alien demons, their power would be the strongest among all the alien demons.

Then, we can take advantage of the polar night to eliminate another batch of competitors.

Rumbling--

The earthquake left these alien demons looking at each other in bewilderment: "What happened?"

They soon found out what had happened.

A high-speed off-road vehicle was speeding through the area, with a massive, overturned creature chasing behind it.

As the enormous creature pursued it, people in the vehicle continued to attack it, further provoking the demonic creature.

Some demons, unable to escape in time, were swept into the sinking ground and swallowed up along with the soil without even a chance to howl.

"What is that? Does such a thing exist in hell?!"

The foreign demons were astonished. They saw the enormous monster clearly, and they also saw the humans who were giving it new life.

White curtain!

Were those fellow humans they sent out useless? How could they allow this human to be so arrogant?
"Is it possible that they have already been killed by this human?"

"Given Engel's example, even if they were pigs, they couldn't all be wiped out!"

These foreign demons didn't bother Bai Mu, letting him pass by with that demonic creature; they didn't dare to disturb him.

What if Bai Mu suddenly decides to drift and charge at them? Even if they manage to intercept Bai Mu, what about the monster behind him?
They wanted to complete their lord's mission, but they didn't want to die alongside the White Curtain to benefit their fellow beings.

"Look!" Not long after Bai Mu left, they saw their kind who had left the Demon Territory earlier.

Those of their kind are not in good condition either. They left with a large number of demons, and now there are not many demons left besides them.

"What's going on with you guys? And what's the deal with that human?"

"This damn bloodbath! We haven't caught him since we left the Demon Territory!"

The foreign demons who had joined forces were also furious. The Hellfire battle had severely delayed their pursuit, and the demons they had brought with them made them a prime target for a large number of demons.

Along the way, there were constant battles, both large and small. Every time they found a place, the White Curtain would have already moved to another location. Before the arrival of the polar night, they were always some distance away from the White Curtain.

Sometimes, just when they were about to catch up with this guy, a whole bunch of demons would rush over, howling, to start a fight.

Later they realized that with a group of demon minions, they wouldn't be able to catch up with the White Curtain during the Blood War.

During this period, the larger the group, the bigger its goals.

After that, they simply abandoned their demon minions, letting them fend for themselves, and then returned to the demon territory to regroup.

The demons' subordinates were also very obedient, or rather, they had long been eager to fight because of the thrill of the bloody battle.

After obtaining authorization from their boss, they simply ran away completely.

And these foreign demons began to accelerate their pursuit of White Curtain, and then the polar night arrived.

Under the influence of the polar night, they temporarily lost track of Bai Mu, who was originally going to chase after him and kill him!
Later, during the polar night, they chased after the White Curtain, and somehow, this guy attracted such a huge demonic creature.

The size of that thing impressed them greatly, so they could only plan carefully and simply followed Bai Mu without thinking about how to take action against it.

They also worried that the white curtain would directly shift the blame eastward.

"...Okay, let's leave that human for now." After hearing the stories of his fellow demons, the foreign demon who had just left the demon territory had nothing more to say.

Normally, this kind of experience would be considered extremely unlucky.

However, the hellish blood rain had just ended, so this situation is still considered normal. It can only be said that the timing of the attack was wrong.

During the blood war, the demons were too easily excited. In normal times, demons wandering in the demon territory would try to avoid an army of demons.

On the one hand, they couldn't win; on the other hand, they were worried about being conscripted by the demon overseer.

The bloody battle's emotional stimulation on the demons, and the polar night's influence on their warlike nature—both factors occurring simultaneously... Let's see what kind of trouble the White Curtain can cause.

"It seems like they're heading straight for the Demon Territory?"

The foreign demon, who had initially intended to observe the situation, fell silent: "Holy crap! This is bad!!"

At any other time, as he had just thought, the timing was wrong. At any other time, such an attack on the Demon Territory would be a good thing for them.

The greater the pressure the demon lords face, the better. Isn't that exactly what they're planning to do by attracting real humans into this alternate dream?

But the Demon Lord cannot, at least not at this time, face such immense pressure.

What they want is for the demon lord to be overwhelmed by immense pressure and unable to resist, or for his resistance to weaken, not for the demon lord to die!

The Demon Lord cannot die at this time!
