Dream Travel

Chapter 66 Where the dream begins
Bai Mu returned to Ster Street, where the dream began. Out of nostalgia, he went to the bun shop first to take a look. The shop was deserted as the owner had already gone to take refuge in the emergency evacuation.

All normal residents in the downtown area cooperated with the emergency response, while some homeless people and some more unique people chose options other than safety.

Since there are demons and other monsters in this world, it means that the local people's safety awareness has adapted to this situation, right?

A slight air current appeared from the side of Bai Mu, and he took a step back to avoid the demon's attack. Actual combat can make people grow very quickly. At the beginning, Bai Mu could not make good use of the weak "wind control", but he gained experience as he dealt with more demons.

Probably due to the defense agreement of Rota City, the demons that have appeared here so far are all within the range of being killed by ordinary people, provided that the ordinary people have high-powered weapons such as guns, or have two bottles of holy water in their pockets.

After all, it is a demon. Bai Mu has examined the demon's physique. Their skin is very tough and difficult to cut with ordinary sharp weapons unless those weapons are smeared with holy oil or dipped in holy water.

Therefore, the probability of killing the devil with weapons such as household kitchen knives is not high.

The disguised demon is relatively okay, and its strength is basically concentrated in the disguise. The changing demon is easier to distinguish than the disguised demon. As for the most common shadow demon, this thing is too lethal to ordinary people.

They can hide in the shadows and have tentacles that can pierce through the skull. The dead dream walker was pierced by the hollow spikes that popped out of the tentacles.

Shadow Demons are the main force in collecting the brains of Dreamwalkers.

Bai Mu discovered the shortcomings of the shadow demons. They seemed unable to hide properly in the shadows of living creatures.

They can only hide in the shadows of static objects, perhaps these demons are not strong enough.

The one who attacked Bai Mu was the shadow demon. The tentacles that missed the target quickly withdrew and merged back into the shadow. Just as Bai Mu was about to throw out the holy water, he saw that the shadow on the ground had changed.

A dozen shadow demons appeared here, and the sound of flapping wings was heard outside the window.

"...Uh, you guys play." Bai Mu spilled the holy water in his hand, crashed through the window at the fastest speed, and ran out of the bun shop.

"kill him!"

Bai Mu's decisiveness allowed him to avoid being surrounded by shadow demons. The number of shadow demons appearing here was too abnormal, and the first thing he thought of was that the demons were hiding something here.

After dodging the black feathers shot from behind, Bai Mu turned around and shot an arrow. The crossbow with built-in hit correction hit the crow demon.

This type of demon comes with a low-profile version of "Arrow Avoidance Protection", and the airflow surrounding them can even deflect bullets.

The crossbow arrows he shot out would also be deflected, but the effect was much better than using a pistol, and the airflow was in one direction, so if he made a good prediction, he could basically guarantee that he would hit where he wanted to hit.

The remaining crow demons stopped. Baimu ran too fast. They could chase him, but seeing their fellows being shot by arrows and falling to the ground, there was no need to chase them.

The crow demon with an arrow in its side was twitching, and its chest was charred. Low-level holy oil has little effect on stronger demons, but it is very effective for demons like them.

"The weapon of that dream walker is a dream erosion weapon." A shadow demon held an instrument similar to a Geiger counter in his hand, which was used to detect dream erosion. They tested the instrument to confirm the identity of the dream walker.

The crow demon that fell from the sky was a little surprised: "Our equipment can detect dream erosion weapons remotely?"

"...He was beaten to death. Is that something that ordinary weapons can do?" The shadow demon put away the detection equipment. This thing was more like a life radar, specifically designed to detect the dream erosion of living things, not dead things.

There's a different way to detect items, due to the different wavelengths they emit. Living things constantly emit life wavelengths, but items are a different story. Dream-Evoked weapons can be magical, but not necessarily Dream-Evoked weapons. Ordinary weapons can also be Dream-Evoked weapons, but they don't emit special energy wavelengths. To confirm whether a ranged weapon is a Dream-Evoked weapon, find a friend to sacrifice.

"We don't have much time left, this place has been exposed, let's move our things quickly!" another shadow demon cursed.

They carefully selected this place. When the bun shop resumes its business, someone will naturally come here to take away the brain matter they collected. For this reason, they also specially released the bun shop owner and his family who ran slowly.

But I didn't expect that there would be someone so nosy as to come here to join in the fun, and he was a dream walker.

There are so many places to look, but you chose to find this place, and you still say there is no problem?

This chaos could not last long. They made preparations in advance and created a lot of chaos in the lower city, tying up the army of Rota City. But as the chaos was settled, they had less and less time to move.

What's worse is that those people in the Processing Bureau have discovered part of their purpose. Although they may not be able to find all the hidden brain matter, they have been planning for so long and don't want to lose too much profit.

A crossbow arrow accurately shot through the head of the demon who cursed the foulest... and the demon next to him.

The crow demon who was shot by the arrow could not even make a sound before he met God.

The demons gathered here immediately dispersed, and the shadow demons quickly approached the attacker's position almost close to the ground.

They saw the white curtain go and come back.

A shadow demon was filled with anger at being played with. His speed suddenly increased, and he approached him along the shadow attached to the white curtain. When the holy water touched the demon, smoke evaporated. The demon that approached the white curtain first was covered in black smoke and rushed out from the shadow.

Bai Mu ignored this demon and aimed the reloaded crossbow at another crow demon.

The crow demon looked panicked and screamed as it hid in a nearby building.

They are demons that are resistant to long-range attacks, but the dream-eating weapon in Bai Mu's hand is very targeted at them. Fortunately, it is a crossbow, not a firearm, and cannot fire continuously.

Bai Mu quickly changed his target, and the crossbow arrow hit a shadow that was rushing over quickly. The shadow demon appeared, and was nailed to the ground with an arrow in the chest. He struggled twice and then became motionless.

After shooting the screaming demon next to him, Bai Mu quickly ran to the back.

The shadow demon that was chasing them stopped, and the shadow in front was sprinkling holy water. If they crashed into it directly, the consequences would be the same as the unlucky guy just now. After taking a detour, the shadow demon gritted his teeth and looked at the white curtain running away.

"withdraw!"

The remaining demons were about to retreat. The last crow demon in the team was observing his surroundings vigilantly. The dream walker had already come back once, and there would definitely be a second time.

They have wasted too much time here and if they don't retreat now, they will be unable to leave.

The crow demon flying in the sky saw a figure and immediately screamed, "He's back again!"

After roaring, the crow demon quickly fell from the sky. Two crow demons had already died, and he didn't want to be the last one.
