I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

The savages are very ferocious.

Aside from the fact that its power indeed originates from magic, it doesn't resemble a human in any way.

His fighting seemed to be driven by instinct; he was fierce, mad, and fearless of death.

His appearance wasn't very human either; his exposed skin was deep red or bluish-purple, and it throbbed constantly. Even when the butcher slashed him repeatedly in a bizarre manner, what flowed out wasn't blood but pus.

Xuan Jian felt a chill run down his spine.

He withdrew his magical eye and used Phantom Step to leap rapidly across the rooftops of the bungalows, quickly arriving at the battleground between the 'Savage' and the 'Butcher'.

"Should we make a move?"

When humanity encounters something strange, Xuanjian will certainly lend a helping hand if it can.

This is the best we can do right now.

The butcher has the ability to fight and win.

just,

He always felt that if he made a move, he would likely be attacked by the "savages" as well.

The "wild man" is human, but whether he is human or not is hard to say.

"This is someone who has been deeply corrupted by cursed objects; it's hard to say whether he is human or has become a monster."

"He appears to be mentally unstable."

Despite thinking this way, Xuanjian hesitated for a moment before making his move.

Before making his move, he activated the safe zone access using his membership card.

He felt much more at ease when he saw the familiar safe zone shop appear in the distance.

Then, he drew his sword and slashed.

The Xuan Sword attacked from behind, piercing the Butcher Weird who was already fighting with the "Savage".

A few dozen seconds later, under the combined onslaught of the two sides, the butcher's bizarre body was cut off and torn apart, leaving only pieces of flesh scattered on the ground.

Some of the small pieces of meat were still wriggling, but eventually they lost all their activity.

This also signifies that the Butcher's mystique has been truly eradicated.

Destroy them by human power!

The butcher's bloodstained cleaver, under the influence of the power of the rules, was imbued with a mysterious glow, transforming into a complete cursed artifact.

However, Xuanjian did not look at it; his eyes remained fixed on the savage not far away.

He dared not be careless and was already prepared to fight.

The savage's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at him, with bits of meat still stuck to the corners of his mouth from the butcher.

But the savage still didn't pounce; he stood still.

Bloodlust, struggle, and madness flashed across his eyes.

His breathing gradually stabilized.

He neither spoke nor moved, standing like a statue.

Xuanjian let out a deep sigh of relief.

"But what should I do?"

"This man seems to still have a little bit of consciousness left, but only a tiny bit."

...

"Bring him over."

Inside the store, Shi Anquan witnessed the entire battle that had just taken place.

He was even more certain than Xuanjian that the "savage" was still human.

At the very least, the subjectivity is still human.

because,

"Should we invite the person experiencing the nightmare to the safe zone?"

Xuanjian used the membership card to open the passage, revealing the safe zone in this nightmare.

However, this does not mean that all those who fall into nightmares in this nightmare area can enter the safe zone.

Non-members still need to be invited to enter.

It's just that Shi An gave Xiao Xue and Ming Yi the authority to invite, and most of the time the invitations were by default.

The fact that they were invited means they are human.

Although this guy... even from a non-professional perspective like Shi An's, it's not long before he's completely inhuman.

...

Xuanjian tried to communicate with the 'savage' in a soft voice.

He didn't know if the other person could still understand him.

He didn't get a reply, but fortunately, as he walked toward the safe zone, the burly figure behind him caught up step by step.

"Luckily, I was still able to keep up."

"that is……"

A man with a manic aura and a bizarre appearance followed behind him. Xuan Jian walked with trepidation, fearing that he might be accidentally violated.

This is even more difficult than confronting the monstrous butcher head-on.

Fortunately, the store in the safe zone was not far from the battlefield, and he arrived at his destination in two minutes.

Xuan Jian pushed the door open and said to the burly man, "Let's go, the shopkeeper is waiting for you."

At this time, there were two other dreamers resting inside the store.

When the burly man walked in, the two Dreamers were startled, thinking that something strange had invaded the safe zone!

Fa Gui, acting as a mediator, informed the person that they were actually human.

Even so, the two dreamers huddled in a corner, trembling slightly.

Not to mention them, even the ghosts looked solemn.

An ominous and eerie aura emanated from this burly, savage-like man. One could sense an intense danger emanating from him, like a bomb about to explode at any moment.

Shi An was certainly aware of this as well.

He did not step forward, even though he already possessed considerable combat strength.

He simply asked Fa Gui to fetch a few cups of purified water.

Purified water can purify all negative effects!

However, Shi An was not sure whether this burly man would be effective.

"This person, without a doubt, is a lost soul. Because he has been lost in nightmares for too long, repeatedly using cursed objects and battling the supernatural, he has inevitably been corrupted in the end."

"As time went by, his corruption became more and more severe, until now he has become almost bizarre, with only a sliver of willpower remaining to preserve his last bit of clarity."

This situation is far more serious than the Xuanjian and Fagui incidents of that time.

It's like it's been eroded and pickled.

If even several times the amount of purified water couldn't save him, Shi An would have no choice but to reluctantly give up. This was clearly a lost soul who was a powerful figure.

...

The burly man seemed unable to understand the specific words, so Fa Gui could only approach cautiously with a cup of purified water in hand.

But perhaps influenced by his instinct for self-preservation, the burly man's mind became unstable as the monster approached.

The aura seemed to be shifting towards madness.

If the demon continues to approach, it might provoke the burly man, causing him to lose his remaining sanity.

What should I do?

Fa Gui felt there was no solution.

Who can force a powerful, eccentric, and mentally unstable person to take medication?

But the store manager tapped on the table.

"Get him under control."

"Ah Fa, feed him the medicine."

Before Fa Gui could even understand who the manager was talking to in the previous sentence, the mascot on the bar... Senior came to life.

The blood-red clay sculpture extends its chubby hand.

A grasp of emptiness.

A vast cloud of blood mist surged forth, solidifying into a gigantic blood-red hand.

The crimson giant hand appeared directly around the burly man and immediately grabbed the man who was over two meters tall.

In an instant,

The burly man went mad, and the last thread of his reason snapped.

He let out a beast-like roar, and a chaotic and eerie aura rolled out.

The crimson giant hand merely swayed slightly, then gripped even tighter in the next second.

They pinned down the burly man, who was as powerful and insane as the monster, giving him no chance to struggle.

"So strong!"

Xuanjian was amazed.

Not only was he amazed by the oppressive power of the blood-red clay sculpture, but he also noticed that the shopkeeper had not actually made a move.

The amount of power that the artifacts of the Yugui Flow can unleash depends on the Dreamer's own control.

However, at this moment, the shopkeeper simply tapped the table lightly, without unleashing any magical power or even raising his hand, and the blood-red clay sculpture was crushed.

It's like crushing a giant with a single finger.

How powerful!

How effortlessly... he handled it!

This is the store manager!
