I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Chapter 110 The Direct Successors of the Safe Zone (3K)

The members of the safe zone are very strong; this is a widely acknowledged fact and known to everyone.

But many people don't really know how strong he is or how high his status is.

The VIP members also sit here in the lobby, drinking the same beverages and eating similar small breads.

Many of those who have fallen into the dream have even boasted and joked with the powerful members.

Only after some knowledgeable and experienced individuals explained things did they realize—

Wow, there are so many big shots around me!

It turns out that these big shots actually have such high social status in real life.

"I know Master Xuanjian. I was fortunate enough to receive his guidance a few days ago when I was training at the Jiyi Martial Arts Academy. At that time, Master Yang, who was in charge of our academy, exclaimed in amazement that his control over incantations and his mastery of spells were far inferior to Xuanjian's. Master Yang is a master who has taught hundreds of Dream Fallers!"

"And there's Team Leader Song! I saw him inspecting the black market once. At the time, the leaders of several organizations in our black market were accompanying him, adopting very humble postures!"

Needless to say, the deputy captain and captain of the countermeasures bureau are also involved.

The Countermeasures Bureau's team is not large, only a few dozen people. Among them, those who can actually carry out the Nightmare Conquest mission are even fewer, maybe only a dozen or twenty people.

A captain-level figure who commands only twenty elites.

Seemingly few.

In actual battles in the Nightmare World, a team often has even fewer members.

But this is due to environmental limitations.

In reality, captains hold authority two levels higher than the branch directors of the Countermeasures Bureau in various districts and counties. In actual operations, they can directly command hundreds of people, wielding far greater influence.

However, most of the time, those who fall into dreams do not have a strong desire for power.

Because they are still being hunted by nightmares.

At this moment, some lone wolf characters who were not very familiar with the Dream Circle also realized the value of powerful figures such as "Gui Liu", "Xuan Jian", and "Xi Xue".

"Any one of them could easily wipe out a nightmare that has invaded reality."

"However, these bigwigs all seem to find it troublesome. Just what kind of nightmare is it?"

Since his own members were interested in the strategy guide, Shi An decided to postpone his own intervention.

-

Of course, his move was neither a personal one nor a move under the guise of "Night Shadow"—although he had indeed considered the latter.

The Shadow Avatar possesses formidable combat power and attacks without hesitation.

However, it's not certain that they can defeat this eerie black-armored figure.

His intuition told him that the Black Armored Monster was far stronger than the mutated Deadwood Monster he had encountered before.

Shi An originally planned to have Xiao Xue or Xiao Ling take action and make some attempts.

An attempt to avoid triggering nightmare awareness.

The previous Black Crow BOSS was probably a rather special case.

He now has the strength of conviction to back him up.

"Let's take a look first."

"Let's test this strange power first."

The Xuan Sword spoke.

The group slowly walked towards the strange sight in the distance, stepping into the hundred-meter area!

They acted instantly.

At the same time, in the distance, within the ruins.

Several figures dressed in black trench coats were carefully moving through the ruins.

They were heading outwards, but were trying to avoid the eerie black-armored figure.

They carved out a passage that bypassed the eerie black-armored figure.

"Wait, Captain, something's not right."

In the squad, a Dream Faller in the Refinement stage, who was in charge of reconnaissance and possessed the "Eagle Vision" spell, suddenly spoke up.

He observed for a while longer and then said, "Captain, people have arrived at this Nightmare. I've seen more than a dozen Dream Fallers. They—they seem to be trying to subdue the Black Armored Monster!"

"What? Defeat the Black Armor Boss?"

Captain Fenhuo exclaimed in surprise, "Have these Dream Fallen Ones gone mad? No, most of them probably don't understand the difference between one-tier and another-tier monster."

The strangeness of the first and second order is actually quite easy to distinguish.

The latter, in terms of both size and imposing presence, far surpasses the former, making it an entity that cannot be trifled with at first glance.

Equivalent to human superhuman abilities.

However, the former thought to himself, "Many dreamers are unaware that first-tier anomalies actually have three levels: ordinary anomalies, elite anomalies, and leader anomalies."

"Among the strange groups, there are occasionally mutated strange creatures, or the guardian BOSS of the core-level nightmare in the shallow areas. These are usually elite strange creatures. They are rare. Most high-level dreamers, from the novice stage to the refining stage, and then fall into the deep nightmare, have never seen an elite strange creature."

"And the leader-level is bizarre—"

This thing is much rarer than even second- or third-order bizarre things!

As the captain of the fifth squad of the Countermeasures Bureau and the resident commander of Lu Yao's camp, Fen Huo had only seen two first-tier leaders.

One of them is a wandering and eerie necromancer who does not follow the rules of nightmares and can even traverse nightmares like the dreamers.

Burning Fire almost died at the hands of that strange being.

The second one is the strange black-armored figure right in front of us!

"The Black Armor Leader's hunting rule is that it will only attack Dreamers who step into its vicinity of 100 meters. However, once it drinks blood or fights for a long time, this rule will temporarily become invalid, and it will step out of the 100-meter restricted area and will no longer be restricted."

"Quickly, warn them—no, stop them!"

Burn the fire and drink low.

He was in a hurry.

Because it's impossible for anyone to defeat the Black Armor BOSS in this area.

He himself was not confident that he was a match for the strange Black Armor.

If his Fifth Squad were to deploy all its elite troops, Fenhuo was confident he could take down the leader. However, that would mean losing countless men, and he himself would likely be injured. They simply couldn't do such a thing.

Scout Ding Ran said, "No, Captain, it seems we're too late."

A loud roar came from afar, raising a cloud of dust.

At this moment, Fenhuo had no time or need to conceal his presence. He quickly climbed to the top of a ruin and looked into the distance.

Xuan Jian dodged quickly with a swift sword strike and the Phantom Step.

He had mastered both of his spells to the peak of proficiency, and could use them with ease.

In his hands, a straightforward, swift sword strike was transformed into a series of twisting and turning techniques;

Wherever the Phantom Step goes, it leaves behind a series of afterimages that are enough to confuse the enemy.

However, even so, Xuanjian still narrowly escaped death.

Behind him, the dark sword light burst forth again and again, the earth trembled, and flying shards of stone struck his back, causing a burning pain.

"Hey, look over here!"

Xi Xue sculpted a huge silver javelin.

The javelin tore through the air, whistling across the land, and arrived in front of the eerie black-armored figure in an instant.

But then, "Boom!"

With a single, unseen punch, the black-armored figure shattered Xi Xue's powerful silver blade strike.

It's as simple as smashing a rotten plank of wood.

This is the ultimate violence, pure crushing!

Gui Liu Chen Baichuan also made a move.

After his training in the safe zone, his skills also improved considerably.

He held a special weapon forged by the Countermeasures Bureau, from which viscous water gushed.

He unleashed a water-colored sword strike.

But just as easily, in the next instant, it was shattered by the black armor.

"This is bizarre, no, this is a leader-level bizarre phenomenon!"

Chen Baichuan finally realized something was wrong. "We're no match for this kind of bizarre opponent! Even the top-ranked captains in the bureau might not be a match for us!"

Xi Xue and Xuan Jian both came from large organizations and were well aware of the terrifying and bizarre nature of leaders.

They just hadn't realized it at all before.

At first glance, this kind of eeriness doesn't seem much different from ordinary eeriness.

"withdraw!"

However, the eerie sword light emanating from the black armor was exceptionally terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, "Boom!"

Old Wang with the bushy beard and the man in the baseball cap fell to the ground, their clothes still torn and their backs bloodied and mangled.

Several members were also hit by flying rocks.

This is only the part that has been affected.

The sword's speed was too fast, and its destructive power was terrifying!

Apart from Xuan Jian, Xi Xue, and Chen Baichuan, who could barely dodge, anyone else who was locked on was doomed.

Xuan Jian gritted his teeth. "I'll hold them off!"

He pushed the Phantom Step to its limit, his mind tense, not daring to blink for even a moment.

He knew that even the slightest mistake could cost him his life.

Xuanjian held on for a few seconds, his forehead becoming increasingly covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, the black-armored leader stopped standing still and slashing; it paused for a while.

Xuan Jian did not breathe a sigh of relief; he only felt the pressure enveloping him growing stronger and stronger, surging in like an overwhelming force.

The next moment, the black-armored leader's knees bent slightly.

"Bang!"

It shot out like a heavy truck suddenly accelerating to 120 miles per hour.

It stepped out of the 100-meter restricted area.

Its mere long-range sword strikes were enough to send shivers down one's spine.

Xuan Jian dared not imagine how many moves he could withstand if he were caught up by this black-armored leader.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be scattered here and there.

run!

Run back to the safe zone!

The others were already retreating. Most of the members who dared to approach this place had mastered a movement technique, making them extremely fast.

But it still wasn't as fast as the Black Armor Leader.

Further away, Burning Fire was also in pursuit, capable of holding off the strange leader. However, the black-armored leader was chasing in the opposite direction, so he wouldn't be able to catch up anytime soon.

This is the world of nightmares.

Even a master at the Refinement stage can die from an accident.

But then, at that moment, a figure slowly approached from the edge of the gray earth.

She was wearing a Gothic dress, a top hat, and carrying a small parasol.

The members recognized the person who came.

"Miss Tsurumi".

They were both strangers and familiar with this person.

It wasn't unfamiliar, because these days, I've actually seen this patrolling figure in the safe zone.

To say it's unfamiliar would be...

She seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Many of the employees in the safe zone were recruited by the store manager from among the dreamers.

This person's identity is a mystery, yet they have directly assumed a management position in the safe zone.

However, Xi Xue and other members knew nothing about Zhuo Ling.

This person looks very aloof and never speaks.

But they had their own guesses.

Based on their background and position, it's not hard to guess —

"The store manager couldn't have created the safe zone by himself."

"So this Miss Zhuo Ling's true identity is—a powerful member directly under the shop manager!"
