"A little further ahead is Dreamland Lake." Laurie looked solemnly and pointed to the area in front of him that was covered by white mist. He turned around and distributed several silver holy light flowers in his hand to everyone. "Be sure to take these Holy Light Flowers with you and don't drop them, otherwise they may be lost here forever."
Dream Lake has a rather evil reputation in several villages near their Holy Light Village. It is a very strange place. Every year, many heavenly tribesmen who do not believe in evil go in and never come out. It was also a stroke of luck that he could find the silver holy light flower that was the nemesis of the dream.
However, for those who know that wearing the Silver Holy Light Flower will prevent them from being confused, as long as they are a little careful, they will be fine.
Miao Anyun and others nodded. After getting the Silver Holy Light Flower, they also discovered that a BUFF appeared on their bodies.
[Dream Flower: Allows players to stay clear at a specific location and prevent them from falling into illusions.]
"Laurie, thank you, but we can stop here." Miao Anyun looked at the mist-filled Dreamland Lake not far away, and smiled at Laurie, "We can walk the rest of the way by ourselves."
There is no doubt that any mission involving the main mission is dangerous. In this virtual world, NPCs do not have the chance to be resurrected like players. Once they die, they are truly dead. Naturally, Miao Anyun didn't want anything to happen to Laurie.
"But..." Laurie frowned, obviously not agreeing with Miao Anyun's suggestion. He knew how dangerous Dreamland Lake was. Once something went wrong, it would be fatal. At the beginning, his life was hanging by a thread, otherwise he would have been able to survive by chance.
Miao Anyun smiled and shook his head, obviously paying attention.
With the Dreamland Flower, the danger of this Dreamland Lake to Miao Anyun and the others can be said to have been reduced to the minimum. In fact, he was embarrassed because he didn't know the effect of dream flowers. Now that I have brought the Dreamland Flower, Dreamland Lake can be said to be just a pure dating destination without any danger. Miao Anyun and the others would obviously not be so stupid as to throw away the dream flowers themselves.
Laurie thought about it carefully and felt that he might have thought too much, so he nodded readily without hesitation and left quite simply.
"'Light is Ever Silent', Delia and I are waiting for your good news in Holy Light Village!"
Now that Laurie had left, Miao Anyun led his team into the white mist. In an instant, the system map changed. System prompts also sounded in my ears.
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for discovering the unknown map [Dream Lake]. Players have entered [Dream Lake], please explore on your own.]
It's just that the scenes are very different from what was imagined. Miao Anyun originally thought that after entering, he would be deep in white mist, and he would not be able to see clearly anything around him. But now his vision was clear, as if the thick layer of mist only had a thin layer at the entrance.
I don’t know if it’s the dream flowers that have an effect or it’s just the way this place is. Miao Anyun looked at the scene in front of him and started thinking.
"The mission status has been updated." Carmen looked at the task bar and said suddenly.
"It has changed." Qi Yuhan also nodded.
Miao Anyun looked at the task bar. Sure enough, the task originally listed in that position [Looking for the place where dreams and reality meet] has been changed to [Looking for the Guardian].
[Main mission: Looking for the Guardian: Looking for the Guardian who walks between truth and falsehood - Partridge. Time limit: 6 hours.
Note: If the time is up and the NPC has not been found, the task will be deemed to have been abandoned automatically and cannot be taken up again.]
[Task tip: At the end of the land where dreams and reality meet, the guardians are waiting for the arrival of the chosen one.]A serious mechanical sound. 0237 An Zurou opened the back door for his host, and was somewhat complacent that the mastermind didn't notice its little move. But it didn't know that the mastermind in its mouth was casting an indifferent gaze in its direction.
Benson withdrew his gaze, his deep black eyes showing no emotion. If it weren't for the fact that this string of data was related to Miao Anyun, Benson would probably have directly erased the string of data 0237 that he thought was infected with the virus.
"Guardian, where could he be?" Carmen thought as he rubbed his chin. It seemed that the advantage of knowing the plot had disappeared a long time ago. Carmen thought this was probably caused by the flapping of her wings as a big butterfly.
Although Carmen was a little unhappy that she couldn't express herself happily in front of the light, it was more interesting this way, wasn't it? A game that knows the process and results of triggering tasks is like playing a game with plug-ins to abuse players, and Carmen has no interest in it at all. He still likes things that are more challenging.
…
three hours later
"It's been three hours. I'm sure we've walked through the entire map, but we still haven't found the NPC." Lu Jiamu wiped the sweat from his head and looked at the familiar marks in front of him. Somewhat helpless.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, after watching it for several hours, one cannot help but feel bored.
During these three hours, Miao Anyun and his group were not idle. After searching the map of Dream Lake carefully and completely, they did not find the so-called guardian in the mission. After returning to the original position, several people had a headache. Half of the time has been wasted, and the problem now is how to find the NPC in the remaining time.
Taking advantage of the break, Miao Anyun read the prompts given by 0237 several times. The place where dreams and reality meet should refer to Dream Lake, so why can't they find the NPC mentioned in the mission
"The place where dreams and reality meet..." A flash of inspiration seemed to flash through his head, but it was a pity that Miao Anyun could not catch it smoothly.
"I probably know why Partridge can't be found." Benson suddenly spoke on the side, and everyone immediately looked at him. Being stared at by everyone's scorching eyes, Benson continued without changing his expression: "The mission said that we need to find the guardians who walk in truth and falsehood. Let's contact the previous mission again. It is to find the place where dreams and reality meet. And dreams To a certain extent, reality and reality are true and false, so this mission is to find the guardian at the interface between dreams and reality."
"We also know what you're talking about. After all, the mission is quite clear." Carmen rolled her eyes and tried to discredit her, "The place where dreams and reality meet is supposed to be the Dream Lake, which means that in Find the guardian in Dream Lake. However, this does not explain why the mission NPC cannot be found. The place we are in is indeed Dream Lake, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Listening to the two people bickering, Miao Anyun suddenly had an idea and thought of something: "The place where dreams and reality meet is the Dream Lake, yes, but it is not this Dream Lake." This sentence was a bit awkward and made people's heads spin for a while. Can't turn a corner.
Benson nodded and continued: "We are staying in the Dream Lake that blocks illusions. In other words, everything we see is real. And the mission requires finding the guardian in the Dream Lake where the real and the fake coexist. .”
"That means we can't bring the Dream Flower with us, otherwise we won't be able to find the guardian." Lu Jiamu also figured it out now. "The main mission is indeed not an easy mission." He was a little helpless.
Qi Yuhan said "Ah" in confusion, her mind was a little dizzy. But she still got the most important thing, which was to take off the dream flower.
Looking at each other, several people plucked the dream flowers from their bodies with a tacit understanding.
After taking off the dream flower, the vision suddenly became hazy again. The white mist covers it, making the scenery vaguely visible.
"Roar!" A huge roar came from far and near. Miao Anyun and others suddenly frowned. That was obviously the sound made by the monster here.
The Dream Lake is located in the heaven. It was supposed to be triggered after the level 100 heaven was opened, but this time it appeared in advance because it was involved in the main mission. The level of monsters here can be said to be quite difficult to defeat.
They were able to be so leisurely before because they didn't encounter any monsters in the dream lake before, but now monsters have appeared.
A cheetah with noble golden patterns all over its body emerged from the grass and rushed towards Miao Anyun.
The moment the cheetah approached, the elf girl pulled out an arrow from the quiver on her back, drew her bow neatly, and shot a poisoned feather arrow towards the cheetah.
What's shocking is that the arrow directly passed through the cheetah's body, as if the cheetah had no entity, and failed to cause any harm to it.
"It's an illusion." Miao Anyun thought as she saw the arrow piercing the cheetah's body. However, the next second, this perception was broken. The cheetah stretched out its sharp claws and left several bloody marks on his body.
A bright red number floated over Miao Anyun's head, and the originally full health bar suddenly fell crazily, reducing it to the point where only blood skin remained. Miao Anyun barely had 50 drops of blood left at this moment. This means that if there is a critical hit, Miao Anyun will be taken away directly.
Lu Jiamu reacted quickly. The moment Miao Anyun's health dropped, his [Healing Technique] fell on Miao Anyun, slightly raising the critical health bar that was mostly empty.
Although the scene in front of him was a bit beyond his expectation, Miao Anyun was not stunned for too long. When he reacted, a [Holy Shield] was placed on himself and his teammates. Then several rays of golden light fell, filling up his blood.
After the cheetah succeeded, it was pacing not far away, staring at Miao Anyun closely with a pair of beast eyes, as if it regarded him as prey, with a cruel and cold light shining in those beast eyes. Soon, it pounced again.
Carmen was about to attack him with a knight's gun and shield, but unfortunately the cheetah passed right through his body without any hindrance. It seemed as if it didn't exist, but the blood-red damage value floating again on Miao Anyun's head told everyone that this was not a dream.
Since the blessed shield offset most of the damage, and Miao Anyun was prepared, the cheetah's attack did not cause much damage to him this time. Lu Jiamu only used one [Healing Technique] to get it back to full capacity.
However, facing this mysterious opponent, everyone was at a loss what to do.
