I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Xuanjian has already explored five nightmare locations, which is easier than he had imagined.

He was alone, without teaming up with anyone.

Whenever he entered a new nightmare area, he would first use his sorcery to peek around and then put away his tools to personally explore the area where nightmare passages might exist.

He spent two hours on the first nightmare, but only an hour and a half on the second.

He explored the map faster and faster, gradually grasping the patterns.

The whole process was uneventful.

It wasn't that he didn't encounter any danger, but some minor monsters and traps were no longer enough to even startle him.

But the old saying is true: if you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

Even with his magical eye, a powerful tool for exploration, traversing the nightmare world is always fraught with unpredictable risks.

Now!

Upon entering the new nightmare area, they immediately encountered a bizarre creature!

Come face-to-face with the eerie!

If it were me a few days ago, I would have been seriously injured, or even killed on the spot!

But now—

In the blink of an eye, the butcher, who had broken free of his restraints, appeared before the Xuanjian.

The butcher was very tall and strong; his body, over two meters tall, resembled an iron tower, casting a suffocating shadow.

His machete swung down with great force.

Fast! Powerful! Fierce!

The two elite agents from the Countermeasures Bureau were able to hold their own for several dozen seconds because they were never allowed to get close.

If it were a head-on confrontation, they might not even be able to withstand three moves.

When they heard the loud "boom," they belatedly saw the machete fall to the ground, leaving a long crack.

But the young man carrying the sword had already disappeared.

He appeared from the eerie side.

The butcher's knife swept across, creating a gust of bloody wind, but it only shattered an afterimage.

The young man carrying the sword reappeared on the eerie left side.

quick!quick!quick!

The butcher moved with uncanny speed, making it difficult for the two elite men in black trench coats to keep up with his movements.

Young people can carry swords faster.

With his mysterious footwork, he moved swiftly, leaving a trail of afterimages, and manipulated the butcher with uncanny skill.

"It's me?!"

Xuan Jian also found it unbelievable.

Just a few days ago, he, Fa Gui, and Xi Xue worked together to kill a ghost shadow that was much weaker than a real ghost.

Now, with a strange figure right in front of him, he actually felt a moderate amount of pressure, and could even increase it.

"It's time to test the sword."

The already refined Evil Eye Sword flew up.

Its closed eyeballs suddenly opened.

In an instant,

Behind the butcher's eerie figure, a strange eye appeared, causing the butcher to freeze instantly.

And at this very moment...

The power of the curse surged, transforming into a sharp edge that enveloped the Evil Eye Sword, piercing straight through the Butcher's eerie chest cavity.

A hole the size of a washbasin was drilled through it.

"boom!"

One after another, eerie eyes appeared on the butcher's body, then burst open with a series of popping sounds.

The butcher's body was riddled with holes, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

……

Three minutes later, in a secluded corner of the nightmare.

Xuan Jian let out a long sigh of relief. "As expected of a monster, it is still too powerful. One sword is far from enough to kill a true monster."

"We must not be careless, we must guard against arrogance and impatience, I am not strong enough yet."

You should know that he only achieved his current strength because of the training ground built by the store manager.

So, what about the shopkeeper who can build the training ground?

He didn't know what level the shopkeeper was at, but he could imagine that when the shopkeeper was still in the Refining stage, he could probably easily tear apart the monsters with his bare hands.

He only injured one of the monsters, what's there to be proud of?

Xuanjian himself did not have any strange idea of ​​killing the butcher.

He feared that, in the unlikely event of killing the eerie creature, the nightmare would end, and he would return to reality.

This is not a good sign.

He hasn't finished his duties as store manager yet.

Nearby, two elites in black trench coats escaped death with Xuan Jian's help, but upon hearing Xuan Jian's mutterings, large question marks appeared on their foreheads.

Is that correct?

Is this reasonable?

He pierced through the eerie creature with a single blow, manipulating it with ease, yet he still felt he was too weak?

Where on earth did this monster come from?

No, are there really experts of this caliber in the shallow nightmare realm?

However, before the two men in black trench coats could even ask the hero's name, their nightmare began.

wake up.

Back to reality.

Never before had either of them wished they could linger in the nightmare a little longer.

How did it end so soon?!

"The Sharp Knife Group desperately needs a top-tier expert like this! If we could invite this powerful individual to join the Sharp Knife Group, then..."

The strength of the elite team will definitely be greatly enhanced!

They will also accomplish a great feat!

But they had no idea who this young man carrying the sword was.

"Sigh, I didn't realize it just now, there's no use being upset now."

"However, judging from this hero's performance, he is at least at the level of a vice-captain. Such a strong person must be a very experienced Dream Faller, and this time he may have just accidentally fallen into a shallow nightmare."

They convinced themselves.

That makes sense.

If a powerhouse of this level is a young genius, he would already be renowned throughout Baijiang.

It's impossible for them not to recognize each other.

Therefore, it must be a veteran with strong experience.

……

After watching the two men in black trench coats leave, Xuan Jian found a rooftop and took out his Witchcraft Eye.

The eye-shaped prop vibrated its tiny wings, soaring through the sky, overlooking and taking in the entire nightmare area.

He saw the butcher standing strangely in the middle of the street, his flesh buds wriggling, his wounds already mostly healed.

Xuanjian prepared to head to the next nightmare.

Otherwise, if we stay in this area any longer, the butcher will catch up with us again soon.

Although he wasn't afraid of the butcher, fighting him would be quite taxing, and he didn't want to kill the butcher outright.

Just as he was about to withdraw his magical eye and head to check out what might be the passage...

Xuanjian let out a soft "Huh".

Then another figure appeared in the scene.

This is also a humanoid monster.

It had disheveled hair and looked like a wild man; its eyes were bloodshot; and it exuded a ferocious and eerie aura.

"Another eerie figure?"

"This doesn't make sense!"

This area was clearly just a minor nightmare.

Even for minor nightmares, or more unusual and rare nightmares, there is only one eerie entity in the area.

Only a large-scale nightmare could contain multiple eerinesses.

This is a law.

Xuan Jian comes from a large organization, so he wouldn't be wrong about this kind of "common sense".

The butcher made a bizarre discovery of this "bizarre".

This "weird" figure also fearlessly charged towards the butcher.

The two figures clashed.

The butcher was very bloody.

And the savages are no less impressive.

Xuanjian had figured out some of the tricks.

The wild man's "strange" power bears traces of cursed objects and spells!

Human sorcery!

Despite its barbarity and cruelty, its root lies in human magic!

"In other words, this strange-looking savage is actually..."

"It's a human?!"
