Wangxi Mountain.
It's the mountain next to Tang's house.
Even if he hadn't read Master Han's Monthly Diary, Tang Ling knew in his heart that to find the final answer, he had to go to Wangxi Mountain.
Because the only mountain range in Wanghe County is Wangxi Mountain next to Tangzhai.
Tang Ling left in a hurry, but he also did one last thing for the many innocent souls who died at Master Han's hands, and that was to leave a letter clearly stating that there were bones under the pond at the entrance of Tang's house. Dozens, I hope they can be salvaged and buried alive.
This is not something that Master Han recorded in his monthly diary, but a conclusion that Tang Ling deduced based on various clues.
In short, it is very troublesome to deal with so many corpses, and the only best choice is the pond in front of the door.
As for why? Tang Ling didn't have an answer. It was clearly just a dream, a mission, but after being trapped in it for a long time, it felt like it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it felt like he was experiencing history.
Tang Ling's footsteps were very fast.
It only took an hour to walk several miles from the foot of the mountain next to the Tang residence, and climbed to the top of a hill in Wangxi Mountain.
At this time, when I looked back, I could see the entire Qingxi Town, but it was already far away and too small.
And the black warrior uniform he was wearing changed again, turning back into the regular combat uniform he wore before falling into the dream.
This also shows that for the mission in Qingxi Town, he no longer needs to hide his identity, and what follows is the core of the incident.
There are few clues.
Apart from mentioning the Burning Land and a hidden mountain stream, Master Han's monthly diary did not describe any specific geographical location.
Wangxi Mountain is not small, it is a mountain range. If we want to search thoroughly, it will probably take two or three days according to Tang Ling's footsteps.
But the time given for this mission is three days.
Therefore, according to the rules of the Dream Realm, the countdown begins when there are only 'twelve hours' left.
Now that Tang Ling only had ten hours left, it was impossible for him to search the mountain.
And that scorched place, after twenty years, should have been covered by new vegetation, and the idea of going to high places to find a piece of wasteland should be given up as soon as possible.
In this way, Tang Ling's time was very tight, not only very tight, but also very critical.
Because the Dream Realm showed its ferocious minions at the end.
Completion level - 80%, rated E, you can choose to exit the Dream Realm, no reward.
Completion level - 90%, rating D. You can choose to exit the dream realm and receive compensatory rewards and related dream items.
Completion - 100%, rated C. You can choose to exit the Dream Realm, be rewarded with a Dream Coin, and gain access to the mysterious store.
If the rating is below E and the completion level is below 80%, the Dream Seed qualification will be cancelled.
This was the information Tang Ling got.
It's very important. Only when the completion rate is 100% can you get a C evaluation and get a Dream Coin.
To put it this way, Kun was really a 'liar'. He made Tang Ling think that he could enter the mysterious store every time he fell into a dream, and also made Tang Ling think that the things in the mysterious store were very cheap.
He's really bad, and he doesn't look like a bad old man.
Therefore, Tang Ling was innocent.
However, Tang Ling was not in a hurry, and carefully analyzed the information. For example, the compensatory rewards and related dream items were very interesting.
What does it mean? Each dream also has special items that can affect reality, which means you can find them in the dream.
Whether you can find it or not depends on luck, but if you can't find it, after the dream ends, you will also be given a reward about the related dream.
For example, this time in Qingxi Town's dream, Tang Ling guessed that it was related to martial arts or something like that.
This is good! Let Tang Ling wait for the next dream before he completes it this time.
In addition, Tang Ling also smelled a smell of 'protection'.
Because in the last rule of the completion level, it is stated that if the evaluation is below E and the completion level is below 80%, the dream seed qualification will be cancelled.
This is protection.
Because it doesn't mention what if the completion level is less than 60%? What about below 40 percent? Will there be more severe punishment? It's totally possible.
Otherwise, in such a dangerous dream, if Meng Zhong is tired and wants to get rid of his qualifications, he can take advantage of the loopholes.
Will the Dream Realm leave such a big hole? No, this is not possible.
Judging from the fact that injuries and deaths in dreams can be mapped to reality, the Dream Realm can easily obliterate dream seeds, so this means that the first time you enter a dream, there are some preferential treatment, but the next time you enter a dream, it may be very dangerous. Even if you are not killed by various dangers in the dream, you are likely to be directly obliterated by the Dream Realm.
Although this is just a hypothesis, this hypothesis makes Tang Ling not so looking forward to dreaming.
Thinking about these questions, Tang Ling still looked very leisurely. He was actually in the mood to pick up some moist, sticky-looking soil while walking, and put it into his bag, and soon There was a big group gathered, and it didn’t seem too heavy.
He looked exactly like a child who was still playing.
"Almost." Tang Ling patted his already bulging bag, then used the sunlight to judge the direction, and then quickly made a choice, selected a direction, and drove towards that direction.
His figure is as nimble as an ape in the mountain forest. The mountain forests of ancient China are much more 'gentle' than the wild forests of the Ziyue era. There are no dangerous beasts, mutated insects, and there will be no mutations. Plants will choose humans and devour them. For Tang Ling, who has been hunting in the jungle since he was a child, is there any difference between here and the plains
No, so Tang Ling's speed was like a gray shadow that was difficult to catch.
In this vast mountain forest, is ten hours very tight? Very abundant, even if there are few clues, there are clues after all, right
The officers and soldiers searched for three days, but they discovered the anxious place on the first day. How fast can the officers and soldiers go
Master Han wrote in his monthly diary that he had already discovered the cave that night. Even if Master Han was familiar with Wangxi Mountain, and even if Master Han was a martial arts practitioner and his footsteps were much faster than those of officers and soldiers, how much faster could it be? Faster than Tang Ling
Tang Ling had a precise instinct, so when he went up the mountain, he chose a high-elevation hill for the first time and went straight up, in order to use precise and instinctive calculations to determine a rough range that could be reached in one day.
Next, there is another clue that is extremely important. The 'aliens' comes from south to north, so the direction in which it will appear is very fixed.
So, ten hours, why are you panicking? According to Tang Ling's current ability, he can run at the fastest speed of 100 meters among civilized humans in the past, and he can run for several hours without getting tired. This is a way to save energy.
With the second-level ferocious beast's dried meat in his mouth, Tang Ling often chose to jump directly among the trees in order to save time.
He would stop from time to time to chew and digest a piece of second-level ferocious beast meat, because according to Tang Ling's plan, what he was looking for was not the C-level evaluation, but the hidden B-level that the Dream Realm had not given. A grade, or even S grade rating, if there is one.
In the dream he grew.
In fact, last night, whenever he felt that his body could digest and transform something, he would chew a piece of dried meat.
As the body gets stronger, the more it can endure, which is a very good virtuous cycle.
In the realm of dreams, the most efficient way is not to eat too much at one time, but the most appropriate amount, and then digest it quickly, and then of course, if it is accompanied by a lot of exercise, the effect will be better.
Many of the principles are not profound, they are similar, and there is no difference from the muscle-building training of pre-civilizations.
Therefore, Tang Ling did not save his energy at all, he would use everything to squeeze his maximum growth.
As he shuttled through the mountains and forests at extreme speed, the search area began to become smaller and smaller.
Gradually, the mountain forest became quieter.
Slowly, the temperature became a little cooler, because the woods here were so dense that the sunlight could hardly penetrate.
This was already the doubtful point in the third key point of 'circling'. Tang Ling moved his nose, suddenly slowed down, and pounced down from under the tree.
At the same time, a striking white-fronted tiger also burst out from a dense bush with a gust of 'demon wind'.
Is this a pre-civilized tiger? Compared to the tigers of the Ziyue era, it was just a kitten.
After Tang Ling landed, he rushed towards the big tiger. As soon as he raised his claws, Tang Ling punched him directly in the face.
At this time, Tang Ling's punch definitely had a power of close to 1,500 kilograms. In theory, a punch of 800 kilograms could kill a cow, of course a pre-civilized cow.
The tiger's cheek sunken directly, but the strange thing was that it acted as if nothing was wrong. It opened its twisted mouth and bit straight towards Tang Ling's arm.
This was a result that Tang Ling had expected. He didn't dodge at all. The moment the tiger bit him, he directly grabbed the tiger's jaw.
Such a big tiger was actually lifted up by Tang Ling, a skinny-looking young man, and he stood up and started struggling crazily.
"Haha, is this how the 'Kingdom of Us' came to be?" Tang Ling observed the tiger. His eyes, which should have been golden, had an obvious hint of gray.
Then, he pinched the tiger's chin and twisted the hand to the left. The tiger's neck made a crisp sound, the cervical vertebrae broke, and the frantically struggling tiger stopped twisting.
At this time, Tang Ling threw down the tiger corpse, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he quickly took out a ball of soil he collected from his bag and sealed the tiger's seven orifices as quickly as possible.
The tiger's body began to swell strangely, and a small bulging bag soon appeared in its abdomen, scurrying around inside, and then began to struggle crazily.
That piece of fur turned up, revealing the gray-white skin of the tiger corpse, and the gray-white skin began to become transparent quickly.
But Tang Ling didn't do nothing. At this moment, he quickly made a torch by drilling wood to make fire, and then directly lit the tiger corpse.
The fire was raging, and there were several weird "puff, plop, plop" sounds from the tiger's corpse, and then it became completely quiet.
Tang Ling understood that although the method he chose was ancient, it was useful.
But the rest of the journey might not be so easy, because Tang Ling looked up. In a sense, he was already surrounded.
Three wolves, two wild boars, a tiger, and two jungle leopards appeared next to him. No, the correct names should be corpse wolves and corpse pigs.
This is just the beginning, right
Tang Ling raised his fingers provocatively at the corpse tiger, and with a roar from the corpse tiger, a battle began again.
This was a battle without any suspense. After only five minutes, there were several more corpses on the ground.
Not every corpse Tang Ling had time to seal their seven-orificed chrysanthemums, but as soon as something similar to the devil's fungus appeared, there would be a strange process of forming and condensing, and then it would disperse.
Just light it before doing so.
In fact, Tang Ling was just guessing that the devil fungus was afraid of fire. Just like in the Ziyue era, the way to deal with corpses must be cremation. On the surface, it was to burn the corpse to ashes, but was it actually a way to isolate the devil fungus
After confirming this, Tang Ling felt even more at ease.
He found that if it were not for these controlled animals, he might have missed this place.
According to common sense, even if new vegetation appears in areas burned by fire, it must be different from the surrounding jungle. The most obvious ones are 'new' and 'lower' than the surrounding jungle.
It's completely the opposite here, with big trees blocking out the sun, lush bushes, and even the weeds are thicker than the surrounding areas.
This can only mean that there are sufficient nutrients here, although this may not be the whole reason. Thinking about it, Tang Ling drew his knife and dug under a tree. The result was as he expected, there were seven or eight bodies under the tree. A half-decomposed corpse.
A terrifying scene had unfolded before Tang Ling's eyes. In human cemeteries or remote human villages, corpses controlled by these devil fungi, parasitic living dead, staggered up the mountain in the dark night, and then Treated as food and nourishment
Where is Wanghe County the only victim? ! If it is allowed to develop, this will be an era even more terrifying than the Ziyue era.
Tang Ling has long speculated about these fungi. They are certainly not the devil fungi of the Ziyue era. They are life forms that are more advanced than the devil fungi. They are intelligent, conscious, can coexist with living people (Master Han), and can control Dead people, they seem to be able to obey commands.
This is very scary. Once the word 'organized' is involved, it is scary!
The center of this command is the 'gugu', because it is the mother body!
If you kill Mr. Han yourself, it will go completely crazy. From then on, occupying the world may be its only goal, because except for Mr. Han, it has no feelings for any human beings and cannot have feelings.
Therefore, the most difficult task of Qingxi Town in the Dream Realm has appeared - to completely eliminate them.
Fundamentally, this is impossible. Because 'Gugu' has given birth to many larvae over the years, assuming that every larvae has the possibility of becoming a mother, it would be an endless disaster to let one go.
Think about it, if what you have to face in the end is overwhelming spores flying all over the sky, even a hundred Tang Ling can't completely eliminate them.
In addition, there are remaining doubts about the matter, which is - that monkey-like corpse, what kind of existence is it
But it doesn't matter anymore, Tang Ling has to accept this challenge! There is always a thin line between life and death, isn't there
Tang Ling held a long knife in one hand and a torch in the other, walking forward in this dark and terrifying forest, with corpses under every tree and under every piece of land.
Like the only dot with light, the only glimmer of hope.
**
Ten hours have passed, and three hours have passed unknowingly.
The road Tang Ling traveled was littered with the carcasses of various animals, how could he be so heartbroken? In this dense forest, even a bird is parasitized by fungi!
This kind of indiscriminate 'annihilation' filled Tang Ling's heart with anger. People who have not experienced the apocalypse will not understand this emotion.
Even if it wasn't for the same reason, Tang Ling seemed to see the shadow of the collapse of civilization, just like the previous civilization collapsed silently.
This is a dream, this is just a dream, Tang Ling reminded himself again and again.
But the wind blowing, the leaves swaying in the wind, and the seemingly unwilling gesture of the corpse buried under the tree all created a sense of reality for Tang Ling.
Although this kind of reality cannot confuse Tang Ling, it makes Tang Ling involuntarily enter the real Ziyue era.
In the Purple Moon Era, humans still existed, and in this dream, if I did not achieve the most perfect degree of completion, humanity would definitely be subverted.
What a terrible result this is. Will such a result also happen in the Ziyue Era
An inexplicable emotion grew in Tang Ling's heart, amplifying the flame of anger. He searched non-stop for the mountain stream mentioned in Master Han's so-called monthly diary, but he had almost searched through this anxious place and found nothing. What mountain stream.
What kind of terrain is the mountain stream like? Specifically speaking, it is a valley with ditches and streams. How can such an obvious area be hidden
The sky became darker, and the sound of the crackling torches was slightly harsh, making the usually calm Tang Ling become slightly anxious.
"Where is it hidden?" Tang Ling simply sat down and took several deep breaths to calm down.
Water seemed to be the only reminder at this time, and the word "hide" became another reminder.
Tang Ling worked hard to combine these two keywords, and then suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran towards a certain part of this once anxious place.
Here is a place with thick bushes, which looks so inconspicuous. The only thing worth noting is that there is a half-human-sized hole in the bushes here.
Tang Ling used a torch to shine at the entrance of the cave. Of course, it was just a casual photo. He found that the inside was not big, so he let it go.
He was bound by common sense.
Because according to common sense, a mountain stream is a valley with water and the terrain is downward. The correct way to find it is to find the entire place and walk towards the "sloping" side below, and you will naturally find the mountain stream.
It is difficult for normal people to connect a cave entrance with a mountain stream, not to mention that this cave entrance is on the edge of the Burning Land, close to a hill, and is trending upward.
But what if the mountain stream is hidden behind this weird-shaped hill and can only be discovered through this hole
If you look closely, this hill is very strange. If you say it is a hill, it looks more like a dirt bag that has been flattened in half.
Because in the past twenty years, it has been covered by dense vegetation again, and it is impossible to find it without careful observation. Its top is flat.
This made Tang Ling seem to have seen the scene when the foreign object crashed to the ground that day twenty years ago. It crashed on this hill, and what was leaked was poured into this scorched land and the valley behind the hill, and then It slowly tilted and finally fell into the valley with a bang.
right here!
Tang Ling suppressed the excitement in his heart and ducked into the cave whose entrance was only half the size of a man.
Not long after he entered, he found a huge boulder standing on its side, blocking the passage deep into the cave entrance, leaving only a gap, and people could only pass by turning sideways. Because of this, from the outside, this cave entrance looks like a small cave with no road at all.
This is why the officers and soldiers missed the 'truth' back then, and Tang Ling almost missed the truth as well.
After finding the way, Tang Ling's slightly anxious mood slowly calmed down.
After passing through the gap, the dark cave was wet and filled with huge bats.
Needless to say, these bats were no longer normal bats. After Tang Ling entered, these bats began to attack Tang Ling crazily.
At this time, Tang Ling would not waste the opportunity. What was the difference between these extremely fast flying objects and a test of nerve reaction speed
In fact, Tang Ling also heard that this was a way to train neural reaction speed in Safe Zone 17, but the fee was not low, so a 'poor guy' like Tang Ling naturally couldn't enjoy it.
These bats undoubtedly gave Tang Ling a chance to train.
Therefore, Tang Ling wielded his long knife and fought all the way. With his excellent neural reaction speed, these bats were really not enough to look at. The only trouble was that he had to burn them in time every time he killed one.
After deliberately training himself in this way, this dark cave slowly became a ray of light.
This ray of light gradually became brighter, accompanied by the sound of wind blowing into the cave.
There were no more bats, and the mountain stream was close at hand.
Tang Ling, who had gone through two fierce battles in a row, couldn't wait to uncover the final answer.
He held the torch, quickened his pace, and ran towards the exit of the cave.
But just after stepping out of the cave, before I had time to take a look at what the mountain stream Han Ye mentioned looked like, a green claw that looked a little skinny, but had a feeling of steel and iron bones, suddenly appeared without warning. It hit Tang Ling's face like the wind.
At such a fast speed, Tang Ling fell on his back and barely avoided the attack. However, before he even had time to take a breath, a green object about half the size of a man rushed towards him.
What is this? !
Today's update is completed, about 11,000 words. Although the double monthly votes are over, if you have new monthly votes, please vote for me. I want Dark Moon to keep the third position. Then, I discovered a new problem. I owed a lot of chapters, from the alliance leader and monthly tickets. In fact, I haven't updated it too much. I just want to make it more coherent for everyone to read without breaking the plot. I try to use as big a chapter as possible. What's the point of going on like this? The future feels so tiring. In addition, the dream will end at most one chapter, or one and a half chapters. The first dream was a little simpler. The dreams that follow will be even more exciting. Produced by Sansan, quality guaranteed.
