Chapter 16 Nightmare

There is no sun underground, and the concept of time seems to no longer exist.

The wound continued to be red and swollen for several days. Leo felt that all his strength had left him, leaving only the pain of twitching and tearing like a hungry beast swallowing his arm. He lay on the hard and cold floor, with his back to the fire, his face buried in the shadow, curled up, and bit his mouth to prevent the moan from overflowing his throat.

Everyone must see it clearly. His vulnerability was uncovered and he was looked at by her. But he doesn't want to do this, not at all. But what can he do? I can only avoid the sight of others, as if an ostrich buried its head.

Rosie is calling him, as if from a faraway place. Leo? Leo?" She kept saying, "Liou?" A cold hand rested on his forehead. He has a fever. Her voice was very soft and could not be heard clearly, but she was awe-inspiring.

Li Ou tried to raise his eyelids. There is a dim yellow halo in the darkness around, and countless chaotic shadows can't be seen clearly. Someone surrounded him, and the small words sounded like a ghost's soul murmur.

In the end, everything returned to silence.

He dreamed that he was in Ainblo and returned home. He opened the door and entered. Lu Yuewu smiled and greeted him gently. Rosie stood on the stairs and looked at him with a smile. He walked over to them. But in an instant, a long sword flashed cold light and pierced his abdomen.

"Moon Dance." He shouted, "Moon Dance."

He called the name of the female swordsman and saw that Lu Yuewu's face suddenly twisted in front of him and turned into a nightmare of the curse in the dream that haunted him before. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to call for help, but Rosie turned away disappointed.

The house began to collapse and turned into powder. The hard ground under his feet turned into soft mud. Only the nightmare in front of him burns the green demon fire, and his eyes are like golden copper bells, reflecting his desperate appearance. The sword body went deeper, rubbed the spine, and the nightmare smiled ferociously. He gradually sank in the mud.

Even in a deep dream, I still feel pain. There were bursts of pain in the abdomen and breathing like fire. He held the blade in his hand, and the dripping blood was licked by the tongue sticking out of the mud, and then climbed up his body and dragged him deep. Pain and suffocation come together, like lightning spreading. He shouted for help.

"We are here," said a familiar voice. "We are here."

I fell asleep, Leo remembered and had a terrible dream. Rosie?" He was sweating all over, and the fiercely burning fire failed to dispel the cold. Rosie, is that you?

"No, it's me." The woman's voice was sour and sad. I'm Ivera."

Miss Bachelor? His head is dizzy. In a burst of dizziness, he heard someone arguing, which sounded like Rosie's voice, but it seemed to be too far away and too low. He didn't know if it was his own hallucination.

"Do you feel better?" Miss Bachelor put her hand on his head.

"I... I'm fine. I just fell asleep."

"Drink some water." Miss Bachelor said. She held the water bag to Leo's lips.

The taste is strong and sour, as well as the fishy smell of grass stems and mycelium. What is this? I want water, give me water."

"The herbs found by Mr. Connor are good for your injury." Miss Bachelor put the water bag on Leo's lips again.

It hurts to drink water. The dark ** flowed down the chin, dripping to the chest and spilling out of the mouth. No more."

"Drink more. You have a fever and the wound is ulcerated. She said worriedly, "I eliminated the poison with alcohol, but it was completely useless. Your medicine is also ineffective. What the hell is going on? I tried my best to stop the infection.

He felt a little better and sat up with the help of Miss Bachelor. Don't worry." He told her, "It will get better in a few days. This is just a normal reaction."

"Normal reaction?" Miss Bachelor raised her voice, "How many drugs have you taken? Look at your hands, almost all the muscles have festered and your bones have turned black. Do you really want it to be abolished?

There was anger in her eyes, which was the same disappointment as Lu Yuewu showed. She must think that I was torturing myself to win sympathy. But that's not the case, absolutely not. Therefore, he doesn't need sympathy, let alone pity. I will be fine." He pushed away the water bag against his lips and tried to stand up. But the irresistible weakness is more severe than ever. He sat back on the ground, and the pain in his palm was like a scorpion tail thorn.

"What are you going to do?" Miss Bachelor pressed his shoulder angrily. Now is not the time to show your ability.

That's better than your disappointed eyes. However, there was no strength left, and he couldn't even break free from Miss Bachelor's hand. He lay weakly on the ground and saw Rosie coming towards him. Lu Yuewu was a few steps away from her... They... He didn't know what to say, so he had to say to Miss Bachelor, "Let me sleep for a while. I want to sleep."

He closed his eyes and chose to escape.

The dream seemed to smell the dog's fly and immediately rushed up, and was boundless, completely swallowing him, and coming endlessly. One terrible dream followed another terrible dream. He dreamed that he was standing in the spire of the sword group, dreamed of the sailboat on the sea, and also dreamed that he was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sunset through the high arched windows in the hall in the flowing palace.

However, the sky is as red as blood, and the sea is as red as burning red iron. Demons rolled over the waves. They opened their teeth and claws and screamed. Every change in shape is the appearance of a familiar person. Rosie's face, Lu Yuewu's face, Miss Bachelor's face, and many other faces; they have the same disappointment, hatred, disgust, and pity on their faces. Enough! He shouted at the ghosts, get out and don't come back! I don't need you, just leave me alone!

Those monsters were more obedient than ever before, and they were all dispersed.

The whole world seems to be alone.

When the sun fell, a boy stood by the sea, with a blue and gray shirt, messy hair, and a crying face. That's the six-year-old self. A woman with a shining body hugged him. Mom. He realized. However, he couldn't see her clearly, and only a string of tears splashed on his face. When he wanted to hold her, his mother dissipated like a grain of light, and no matter how he shouted, he could not stop her from leaving.

Leo suddenly woke up with tears on his face.

He raised his hand, but a burst of soreness hit him, and finally he could only let tears roll over his cheeks and drip to the ground. Fortunately, they were all asleep, and only the desert warrior sat in front of him.

The pain is still there, but I finally have strength. He struggled to sit up. How long have I slept?" He asked the other party.

"One day and one night." The desert warrior replied, "Are you feeling better?"

"I can't die." He told the other party that the water bag handed over by the other party filled a large mouthful of cold spring water. When is it now?" He wiped his mouth casually and raised his head to ask.

"Midnight." The desert warrior said, "They are all asleep."

"That's good." He whispered.

A candle boiled in camel oil emits a dim light and a pungent smell. Li Ou looked at the rewrapped left hand and tried to move his fingers, but the pain was more obedient than five stiff, swollen, red and oily fingers, pulling the whole arm, causing an uncontrollable trembling. He gritted his teeth and grasped the fur blanket covering his body with his right hand to keep himself from making a sound.

"Are you sure you're all right?" The desert warrior asked with concern.

"My own body knows it." Li Ou whispered in shame. I'm trying to be strong. I don't know what's the point of maintaining a little pitiful and fragile meaning, but his mouth is still stiff. I'm fine. I can also kill people.

The distrustful eyes of the desert samurai are so obvious. Doesn't he know how to hide his emotions?

"What do you want to do if you don't sleep late at night?" He said in a bad temper, "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."

The desert warrior sat cross-legged, palming to the sky, posing a meditative posture. The axe and short spear were placed on his right hand side, and his peaceful eyes stared at him. I heard that sound again. He said, "The gods gave me an answer."

They are now located in a hall, and the cold wind blows from the depths of darkness, bringing chills. Li Ou wrapped the blanket tightly and looked up at the towering stone statue hidden in the dark. He swallowed his saliva, but was choked. He covered his mouth and coughed, and there was a burning pain in his lungs. After a while, he raised his head again.

"What did they tell you?"

"Just like you dreamed, I also dream when meditating."

"Dreams can also lie."

"How long has it been since you haven't eaten? Must be hungry?"

He is really hungry and his stomach is empty. I really want to eat something."

"Then have a good meal. Eat something first, you can't do it without strength. The desert warrior got up to look for the burden. Leave him alone in place.

The surroundings are dark and quiet, and hearing dominates here. He could hear extremely subtle voices, everyone's different breathing, gravel rolling, and some kind of hallucinatory whispers. However, when he tried to listen, the sound disappeared again. Is this the so-called oracle? He smiled silently.

The desert warrior brought bread and a piece of barbecue. That's all we have." He said, and handed him the water bag at the same time. There is less and less food. Maybe we should go out to hunt gerbils and stings. But these are enough for you to eat.

The spring is cold, the bread is hard, and the barbecue is harder, but Leo is more hungry. He thinks that what he has eaten before is not as delicious as half of what he ate today. What do you want to say? Did the oracle show you these? He swallowed his last bite of bread as he asked.

"Calculation of time, Mr. Leo." The desert warrior said, "What have we heard?"

His reminder reminded Leo of things that were about to be forgotten by him. That female magician?"

"The gods called her 'witch'." His voice was uncontrollable excitement.

What else is there in Yu Shi? Is it a miracle that is about to be revealed?" Sacrifice?"

"Yes. It's time, just tomorrow, starting at dawn.

"What did the gods tell you to do?" He asked, "Destroy?"

"Watch." The desert warrior said, "Our dogma is tenacity and patience. Wait, and then fate will come to you.

"And then? Resist or just take it?"

"Fate will be arranged, and the answer will be known." The desert warrior said positively, "The Tao is in my heart."

In his eyes, Leo saw some kind of justice, which was so similar to Lu Yuewu. This is faith, right? He thought. And I'm a guy with no faith, so I will never understand what they think.

"Did the gods tell you that you want me to be a living dead man?" Can you find a little will to fight from me?" I can't even get on the ground, it will only drag you down.

"I asked you." The desert warrior stared into his eyes, "You said you were fine."

Good and evil are rewarded. He sighed. Yeah, I can't die." He stood up with the help of the desert warrior. His head was a little dizzy and his legs and feet were sore, but he could walk around. He found the remaining medicine and stuffed it into his arms. Let's go." He said weakly, "Let's see what kind of honorable fate the so-called gods have arranged for me in front of me."
