Chapter 273 The Sleeping Truth (2-in-1)
“There's someone there!”
Zheng Xiaoyu was the second to spot the girl dancing in the sea of flowers and let out a low voice.
“That is?” Lin Yue looked at Qin Chuan with questioning eyes.
"The Lost People Salma." Qin Chuan spoke softly, with a somewhat solemn expression, "She is clearly asleep in the real world, but she is awake here."
"She is the one we want to wake up?" Lin Yue looked a little surprised, "So...are we in her dream now?"
“Nine times out of ten, that's the case.” Qin Chuan nodded.
Seemingly aware of the three people's observations, Salma, who was dancing gracefully on the other side, stopped moving and looked curiously towards this side.
After only hesitating for a brief moment, Qin Chuan raised his feet and walked towards the other party.
Lin Yue and Zheng Xiaoyu followed closely behind.
As the two sides approached, Salma spoke a mysterious and unfamiliar language from another world.
【Fairy clan? It doesn't seem right. 】
【Although you have an appearance similar to theirs, I can feel that your aura and strength are different from those of the immortals. 】
【It seems that a new race has appeared in the Sky Level...】
【It's really strange, I didn't notice the signs of dungeonization before this. What race are you? 】
"We are the human race." Qin Chuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What race are you talking about as the fairy race?"
He originally wanted to talk to the other party to try to wake him up from this dream, but he never expected that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he gave him a big impact.
What race is the fairy race?
and…
˜The opponent in the dungeon actually mentioned "Stairs to the Sky" and "dungeonization".
This gave him the feeling that he was not talking to the power projection in the copy, but to the real beings on the Sky Level.
This feeling has never appeared in previous copies.
Salma looked at Qin Chuan and the others, vigilance and suspicion flashing in her colorful eyes.
【Don't you know the fairy clan? 】
【Didn't you clear the dungeon before ascending the stairs of the sky? 】
【In the dungeon, you should have seen all the races in the Sky Level. 】
"We have never encountered the race of immortals." Qin Chuan said in a deep voice, "We have only encountered moon spirits, half-demon, dwarves, dead ghosts, crystal races and dragon races."
“Besides, we haven't climbed the so-called stairs to the sky yet.”
“Now, we are in the copy.”
Salma's expression froze.
Her eyes were a little hollow, and the previous suspicious look was replaced by an unprecedented blankness.
【wrong…】
【It shouldn't be like this...】
Qin Chuan frowned.
Although every sentence Salma in front of me said contained a lot of information, the relationship between the two parties felt a bit like chicken and duck talking.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, a hand gently held his hand.
Lin Yue gave him a "Leave it to me" look, then her expression became solemn and she took a step forward.
“Do you remember? Your tribe has failed.”
Salma's delicate face lost all color in an instant.
【Lost...failed? 】
【impossible! 】
【We are born with the power of dreams, and we are the race most likely to succeed. 】
【We cannot fail! 】
“But this is handwritten by you, right?” Lin Yue took out the white kite.
Copy clues, monologue of the lost person.
The moment she saw the kite, Salma's movements and expression froze at the same time. She seemed to have seen something absolutely impossible, and her expression was full of struggle.
Her delicate face was filled with despair and confusion, and she immediately covered her cheeks with both hands in pain. The originally calm aura gradually increased in the slightly changed expressions of Qin Chuan and the other two people, and the entire fantasy world was in crazy turmoil.
Hall level…epic level…legendary level…
Salma suddenly raised her head, her eyes and vertical pupils filled with deep-seated hatred.
【No! Can! able! 】
【You are lying to me! You are lying to me! 】
The aura that made Qin Chuan and the three of them fall into the abyss exploded violently. At the moment the sound exploded, Salma's aura broke through the upper limit of the legendary level and quickly moved towards the mythical level!
Two light arrays appeared at the feet of Zheng Xiaoyu and Salma, instantly cutting half of Salma's rising strength.
The second talent of Ling Ping is activated.
As Yue Li clasped her hands together, countless light points flew out from Salma's body and gathered around Qin Chuan.
The third talent of Prayer is activated.
【00:00:07】
Stop at h, 2 seconds.
Standing on the same spot, Qin Chuan expressionlessly dismissed the ice blade that had appeared in his hand at some point.
With Salma's sudden outburst, some special changes occurred in the dreamland, allowing Qin Chuan, who was suspended in time, to exist here in a awake state.
Salma, who was about to break through to the mythical level, suddenly stopped.
At some point, blood marks deep enough to the bone appeared on her body, and her entire body was split into two.
【you…】
The hatred in Salma's eyes faded along with her strength, and her expression turned into sadness again.
【turn out to be…】
【We really failed. 】
A line of text appeared in front of the eyes of Qin Chuan and the others.
【Congratulations to the player for reaching the minimum strategy requirements and completing the strategy for the S-level dungeon: Migru Slumbering Plains. The current dungeon strategy rating: A】
In the middle of the desolate plain, Baeke Langdon sat cross-legged and stared lovingly at Salma lying on flowers in the crystal coffin in front of him.
Salma has been lying there for who knows how long, but the flowers are still bright with dew on them, as if they had just been picked.
He just looked at it like this, not knowing how long it had passed.
Until a certain moment, Baiclanden's pupils shrank slightly.
Salma's eyelids in the coffin trembled slightly, then slowly opened them.
Facing those colorful eyes that were forever etched in the deepest part of his memory, Baeke Langdon's old body couldn't stop trembling. He stood up tremblingly and walked step by step to the coffin.
Salma looked at him steadily. The old face in front of her quickly overlapped with a young and persistent face in her long memory. The corners of her lips curved up and she spoke softly.
“Long time no see, Baeke Langdon.”
Tears couldn't help but fall from Baike Langdon's face, which was full of deep grooves.
"Salma, you shouldn't wake up. I want to keep you sleeping forever."
“At least that way…” His lips trembled, “At least that way…”
"Hold me tight, Baeke Langdon." Salma spoke softly, her body becoming much more unreal than when she first woke up, "I don't have much time."
Bakerlandn hugged Salma carefully, lifting her up as carefully as if he were holding a fragile treasure.
“The Ancestor of the Moon Spirit... is such a powerful guy.” Salma leaned on Backlundon's chest and murmured softly, “I didn't expect that the Sky Stairs would become like this after we failed.”
Bakerlandon's face instantly turned pale, with a look of guilt in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I..."
"There's no need to say sorry, Baeke Langdon." Salma shook her head slightly, "He is not at fault, and everyone is not at fault."
“We just... all want to live.”
Both of them fell silent. Salma, who was lying in Baike Langdon's arms, was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke.
“Now, Baeke Langdon.”
“Do you think anyone will still remember the Phantom Clan?”
"Yes!" Bacrandon said decisively, "It will definitely happen!" "Really?" Salma's body became more and more unreal, she smiled with relief and murmured softly.
"That's good."
She slowly closed her eyes and hummed a soft tune.
Bakerlandon also closed his eyes and listened to the notes that resonated deepest in his memory.
At this moment, he seemed to see the phantom girl kneeling on the soft grass under the shade of the dense forest, and him as a young man lying on the girl's lap, closing his eyes and listening to the girl's humming.
Step by step, he walked towards the picture buried in the deepest part of his memory, but the picture drifted away as the notes drifted away.
The humming gradually became quieter and even became inaudible.
He slowly opened his eyes, and there was no trace of Salma in his arms.
"Salma..." There was endless loneliness in Baike Langdon's voice.
He picked off the most beautiful flower among the countless flowers in the crystal coffin and placed it gently on his heart. He immediately stood up, picked up the long sword stuck on the ground, and walked towards the edge of the plain.
“Wait for me, dear Salma.”
“Wait until I kill the guy who disturbed your dream, and then I'll reunite with you.”
Qin Chuan's expression became solemn.
On the map locked by the third talent of Dial Needle, he saw that Salma, the lost people, disappeared, and the light spot representing Baeke Langdon, the guardian of Dreamland, began to quickly approach their location.
The murderous moon spirit holding a long sword was in a state of extreme anger.
At this moment, they still cannot escape from this dreamland.
Because Salma, who was supposed to be killed in the dream, did not die.
With her body restored to full form, she looked at the three people in front of her quietly, and spoke softly after a moment.
Becklenden is a stubborn fool. 】
"How do we get out of here?" Qin Chuan said in a deep voice.
【Leave...?】
Salma smiled.
【Human race, promise me one thing, and I will tell you the answer. 】
"What's the matter?" Qin Chuan frowned slightly when he sensed that Beckland had already crossed one-third of the distance.
【Please promise me to use the same strength that killed me just now to kill him. 】
Salma had tenderness in her eyes.
Give him relief, but please do not make him suffer. 】
"I promise you." Qin Chuan said without hesitation.
【Crush the crystallization of dreams. 】
Qin Chuan crushed the dream crystal without hesitation, and a large number of colorful light spots absorbed before flew out in an instant, turning into armored figures behind Salma.
That was a phantom guard and phantom general that he had killed before.
At this moment, these figures took off their helmets in unison, revealing different faces and vertical pupils between their eyebrows.
They are of the same race as the Salma in front of them.
【farewell. 】
Salma spoke softly and immediately walked towards an open portal.
The door was completely black, with an aura of death and desolation, making Qinchuan and the others feel an indescribable sadness and loneliness.
As Salma and her kin walked through the door, the dreamland shattered.
【Congratulations to the player for achieving the advanced strategy requirements: Farewell to the last survivor of the Phantom Clan who was lost in his dreamland, the copy strategy rating has been improved to: S】
Are you a clan of illusionists...
As the surrounding scene quickly transformed into a real copy scene, Qin Chuan finally knew the name of Salma's corresponding race.
It's just...it doesn't seem to be important anymore.
He had a clear feeling as they entered the heart-stopping door.
He will never see another phantom again.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan looked at Beckland, who was walking towards him holding a long sword.
There is no need to waste time on the legendary level opponent, spiritual drop is enough to solve it.
but…
Qin Chuan stopped Lin Yue who was about to take action, stood up and walked towards Beckland.
“I promised Salma.”
Ice Cream's figure disappeared in a flash, and an icicle rose up beside him. Qin Chuan raised his hand and inserted it into the icicle, pulled out the frost bar from the broken ice and slashed the horse, raising it high above his head.
“To relieve you without pain.”
【00:00:06】
Hour stop, 1 second.
Bakerlandon's body fell to the ground with a crash, and he gently covered the still intact flowers at his heart with one hand, turning into spots of light in the sky and disappearing, leaving only a sad sigh.
Salma, here I come. 】
【Congratulations to the player for achieving the advanced strategy requirements: killing the guardian of Dreamland, Backlandon, and the copy strategy rating has been improved to: SS】
"Over there." Qin Chuan was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the original location of Baike Langdon and Salma, which was also the centermost area of the dungeon map.
If you are right, the final advanced strategy requirements are right there.
After walking forward for a moment, a line of text appeared in front of Qin Chuan's eyes.
【Discover the copy clue】
His pace quickened a bit, and he soon saw the crystal coffin where Salma was sleeping that he had glimpsed before.
The flowers in the coffin, which were as fresh as freshly picked, were now withered and withered. Not far from the coffin, Qin Chuan saw the huge stone on which Beckland was sitting cross-legged.
Beside the boulder, there is a stone tablet.
【Congratulations to the player for obtaining the clue of the copy: Backlendon's Notes】
He raised his hand and gently touched the densely packed text on the stone tablet, and the lines of text were transformed into a language he could understand.
Zu said, we did not win, but we are not considered losers either. 】
【All the tribesmen are cheering for the rebirth of the tribe, but I am the only one guarding the sleeping Salma, falling into endless regret. 】
【Every race on the Sky Level knows that it cannot trust any other race, but I fell in love with the illusionist. 】
【But I don't regret it, I just hate that the lifespan of the first level of the mythical level is a thousand years, so I can't stay by her side forever. 】
【I succeeded! I used the life secrets of the Yueling clan to create another me, an unconscious, young body, who will be my next stop after the end of my life. 】
【This is the forbidden secret of the tribe, but I don't care so much anymore. I can continue to protect my dear Salma, which is really a happy thing. 】
【This is the fourth time I have used the secret technique. Every time I get older faster, I feel the heaviness and slowness of my thoughts, and I seem to have forgotten many things. 】
【Fortunately, I have not forgotten every second I spent with Salma. 】
【This is the 11th time I have used the secret technique, and I have forgotten more and more things. Fortunately, there is a stone tablet here, which can remind me of my mission and the meaning of my existence. 】
【The 22nd time. 】
【35】
The records became shorter and shorter, until at the end only a number remained.
Qin Chuan's fingers scratched the first paragraph of the stone tablet's text, and ten thousand years passed by in a snap.
【Congratulations to the player for achieving the advanced strategy requirements: Witnessing the past of Baike Langdon, the copy strategy rating has been improved to: SSS】
