Chapter 1074 It's easy to do after you get a foothold
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.
It's like the first business of opening a store. Once it's opened, it's a good start.
After that, there is the possibility of moving on and living.
Originally, according to Lin Mo's "capital", there was no way to gain a foothold in the third-floor dreamland. There was no possibility at all, but the battle in the cozy hut laid the foundation.
The price is high.
But the gains are also huge.
Lin Mo established a firm foothold in this passage.
Can you stand unsteadily?
All the evil ghosts and dream demons here have been killed. They are equivalent to directly taking over the opponent's territory without encountering any resistance.
And none of the dream monsters that could be used to improve their strength were wasted, they were all eaten by Xiaoyu and the others.
This allowed Xiaoyu and the others to improve their strength again.
Let's talk about Xiaoyu, who actually touched the threshold of the next transformation.
Increased strength, coupled with mutual familiarity and deepened cooperation, will double the improvement in combat capabilities.
Later, they encountered a dream demon with a third-level dream. Xiaoyu and others worked together to kill and eat it.
Naturally, Lin Mo was not idle either. If Xiaoyu and the others took a bite, Lin Mo would get a bite, and he would use the curse to suck the dream devil's blood.
This thing greatly improves strength, but it is also highly toxic.
Fortunately, in the cozy hut, there is still half a pot of soup that my mother made last time. After drinking ghost blood, if the toxicity in the ghost blood, that is, resentment, malice and hatred are too great, it will affect Lin Mo's spirit and make him have...
If you have chaotic and crazy thoughts, drink a bowl of soup.
It can wash away the toxicity in ghost blood.
Lin Mo knew that this kind of almost crazy and self-destructive improvement was limited, and the limit was how long it took to finish the pot of soup.
After drinking it, you can no longer drink the ghost blood of the third-layer dream demon at will.
Without mom's soup, it would really be suicide.
But even with the soup, Lin Mo felt more and more like a dream demon.
The skin began to look like Xiao Yu, becoming pale and bloodless.
Very strong.
His fingers were already very strong, but now, his fingertips were even sharper, as if Xi Wenjun could easily peel skin with his fingers.
Lin Mo's fingers can tear everything into pieces.
And he likes to do it very much.
Not only does he like to tear things, he also likes to twist his neck.
This is completely influenced by Lao Bai and Lao Ge.
I heard from my mother that Lao Bai also helped me with the last defense against foreign enemies, but this guy spent most of his time in a small room on the second floor and never came out at all.
It seems that her mother has made some kind of transformation on Lao Bai, and now Lao Bai no longer bothers her.
For Lin Mo, I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Anyway, for some enemies, neck twisting is a very good and fatal attack method.
Can be used.
If twisting the neck doesn't work, tear the opponent in half.
Simple and direct.
And this is just one aspect of Lin Mo's improvement in strength.
His curse also became stronger.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
It's hard to describe this thing. The most direct way to explain it is that if there is another person who has the same curse sequence as Lin Mo, then in a fight, if he only uses curses, the other person will definitely not be Lin Mo's opponent.
And Lin Mo will crush him.
This is the benefit of improving overall strength.
Lin Mo tried to get out of that passage.
The environment outside is very dangerous.
Although he only took a glance, Lin Mo could tell that the environment outside was not big.
This may be a corner of a three-story dream.
It is also possible that this is a third-level dream.
More possibilities need to be explored, and exploration in such a place requires strength to support it.
If you don't have the strength to wander around, you will end up dead.
Lin Mo understands this truth.
Xiao Yu, Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun also understand this truth. Maybe because they have been following Lin Mo for a long time, the behavior of the three of them is becoming more and more similar to Lin Mo's.
Be bold, careful, cautious, and pay attention to striking first to gain the upper hand. Either you don't make a move or you make a fatal move.
It took some time for them to eat up all the dream monsters in the passage.
After observation, Lin Mo discovered that the first half of this passage was a tree hole, and the second half looked like a sewer in a certain city.
Then, there should be a city above their heads.
Lin Mo couldn't tell what city it was specifically, but at least judging from the old style in the sewers, it was not a modern city.
It's more like a big city in the One Hundred Years White Eagle, or the mother country of White Eagle, or the Great Eagle Country.
After finding the exit and secretly exploring it twice, Lin Mo's guess was basically confirmed.
This is the big city of Great Eagle Kingdom, Kengdun.
Lin Mo didn't expect that when he entered the third-level dreamland, he would be in a foreign city a hundred years ago.
It was dark and silent outside.
Didn't see the incubus.
But there is something scarier than the incubus.
Air.
There was some kind of pollutant-like mist floating in the air here. Lin Mo took a breath and almost passed out. Xiaoyu and the other dream demons couldn't stand it.
Obviously, even the air in the third layer of dreams can kill people.
And it's the kind of thing that kills people invisible.
Fortunately, the sewer is relatively closed, and there is no mist like floating metal dust outside. Even if there is, the concentration is not fatal.
Lin Mo suggested that we continue to dig deeper into the sewers.
When you are strong enough, go out and explore.
So in the end, even the last rat in the sewer was killed.
Clean, like a freshly washed tablecloth.
According to Lin Mo's plan, they need to stay here for a while to improve their strength.
But sometimes, plans can't keep up with changes.
Suddenly the sound of footsteps from above broke their plan.
The footsteps were heavy.
Apparently someone was passing by overhead.
Of course, if you were just passing by, it wouldn't be worth mentioning. The main sound was that the footsteps stopped on the manhole cover, and then there was a bang, bang, bang, and the manhole cover was hooked aside with a hook.
Waves of coldness and haze poured down from above.
Lin Mo and three ghosts below all raised their heads and looked up. Of course, they were all hiding.
If the things above come down, there is no need for discussion between them, just a movement or a look can make them cooperate.
Waited for a while.
Then something was thrown down from above.
It hit the ground with a thud, and the echo spread far and wide.
Lin Mo took a look.
It looks like a corpse.
His hands and feet were tied with wires, his mouth was stuffed with something, his eyes were staring, his face was covered in blood, and he died miserably.
At this time someone above spoke.
Of course, he spoke in Eagle language.
Because we are in a nightmare world, we can communicate directly consciously, and there is no communication barrier in any language.
Understand.
"Isn't it appropriate to just throw Henry into the sewer?"
"There's nothing inappropriate. The bell is about to ring. Do you have time to throw the body outside?"
"But if the bell rings, Henry will become..."
"That has nothing to do with us. You don't think we are the only ones throwing bodies into the sewers, do you? You are too naive. Be smart. Let's go back to the factory. The bell is about to ring."
After a brief conversation, the person above seemed to leave.
For now, let’s call the other person a human being.
Because judging from the conversation, it seemed quite normal, not like some ghost was talking.
Is there anyone in the dreamland on the third floor?
Lin Mo thinks this is unlikely.
Even if there were, they would still be dead.
Lin Mo estimated that he was the only living person alive.
But even if there are dead people, it is a rare thing.
You must know that this is a third-level dreamland, and the terror index is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the second-level dreamland. Lin Mo feels that only the most terrifying dream monsters can exist in such a place.
Normal dream demons can't do it.
Not to mention ordinary dead people.
Lin Mo's curiosity came up again, and the other party just said "ring the bell" repeatedly.
What does this mean?
While Lin Mo was thinking about it, Xiao Yu, Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun were already gathered over there, starting to study the corpse.
Seeing this scene, Lin Mo went over and asked if he had discovered anything.
Xiao Yu pointed at Sister Yue and asked her to speak.
Sister Yue said that there was something wrong with the corpse, and it felt like there was something hidden inside the corpse.
She suggested burning it.
Lin Mo has a source of fire.
Burned?
Lin Mo thought it was okay, but before that, he wanted to search it first to see if he could find anything valuable from the corpse.
He walked over and started digging into his pockets.
Not to mention, there is really something.
But it wasn't in his pocket, it was held in the corpse's hand.
It is estimated that before this guy was killed, he knew that someone would search his pockets, so he held the things directly in his hands.
Fooled the person who searched him.
But this couldn't be hidden from Lin Mo.
The other person held a pocket watch in his hand.
Very tight.
In order to open the opponent's fingers, Lin Mo also used some strength.
As a result, at this moment, a bell suddenly sounded from above.
Just when Lin Mo and Xiao Yu were stunned, suddenly, the corpse on the ground made a crunch, turned its head, and grabbed Lin Mo's wrist.
