Chapter 260 The gradually disappearing anchor line
Living in the world, everyone has his own anchor.
Either an ideal, a belief, a desire, or just a simple thought. This anchor can anchor your heart so that you will not panic or be at a loss when witnessing the unknown every day.
But in the dreamland, this anchor becomes even more important.
Because any traveler who ventures to the dreamland needs this anchor to anchor reality so that they will not be completely lost in fantasy and dreams.
This is something more precious than a compass in the sea.
The young wizards of the Exoneration Team use First University as their anchor. First University is like a huge lighthouse, still shining brightly through the fog.
The faceless demon who transformed into Zhu Zhu used the various identities she had assumed as anchor points. Although each anchor line was fragile, when mixed together, it could be like a big net, pulling her out of the dreamland.
.
Nikita, on the other hand, uses Captain Misty as an anchor.
This is not her choice, it is the captain's will. The good thing is that with the great power of the captain, Nikita does not need to get lost in the dreamland; the bad thing is that if she leaves the captain's protection, she will be like leaving the bubbles of soapy water.
When the hurricane of the times sweeps by, it will float into the sky.
But now, the banshee was surprised but uneasy to find that her anchor line had become a little loose.
The most obvious manifestation is that the big floral 'M' on her shoulder has become a little lighter in color, and the red cloth strip tied to her wrist has also become somewhat torn.
She didn't know why.
Perhaps it was because at a certain point in time, she had thoughts of being disrespectful to Captain Misty; perhaps it was because after entering the dreamland, 'Zhou Zhou' gained greater say and weakened her own existence;
Perhaps because the previous conflict with those young wizards occurred in the city of Ursa, the temple suppressed the connection between itself and the captain.
Of course, it might just be that she didn't complete the task assigned by the captain with all her heart, and the captain was expressing his dissatisfaction.
Nikita came to Dreamland without permission from Captain Mist.
The captain just asked her to collect the wandering magical creatures in the Silent Forest, and then command those stupid beasts to attack the First University at the right time.
—————
But the banshee found a passage in the forest to the dreamland.
She wants more.
So this trip to the dreamland came about.
Although the great wizard has a long lifespan, he has not become a legend and will eventually run out of life. Many elderly white wizards can choose to enter a secluded place like Hui Zi Ji, which is a cycle of time intercepted from the long river of time.
, allowing these old wizards to live a long life.
Unlike white wizards, most older dark wizards have no way to enter the Hui Zi Collection. Therefore, most of them choose to hide in the place between illusion and reality and linger on.
The Dreamland has the largest number of dying dark wizards in the world.
Nikita hopes to find some such old wizards - the only thing she can use to seduce those old things is the dark yellow tree that is bearing fruit in the Black Prison. The captain summons men to attack the Black Prison, which is not good for the crew.
A secret, the banshee felt that if she gathered enough people, she might have a chance to eat a small piece of meat in the black prison.
It's just that those old guys were too secretive in the dreamland. Nikita went all the way south from the Cold Plateau to the Enchanted Forest, passing through a desert full of stones, a swamp full of poisonous gas, and even crawled through the Zin Cave. In addition to
Apart from collecting some magical creatures unique to the dreamland, she could not find a powerful wizard that satisfied her.
"When are we going back? I think we have gathered enough monsters now. No matter how many more monsters we have, we may not be able to take them out... Do we have to capture those little wizards?"
Zhu Zhu followed Nikita, chattering nonstop, and finally used her trump card: "If we don't go back, the captain will be angry..."
The captain it refers to is the captain of the Poseidon, not Captain Misty.
But for the two banshees, there is not much difference between Captain Poseidon and Captain Misty, because they are both sea monsters and their captains.
The huge purple spider moved its eight slender legs and walked briskly and quickly in the valley of the Skye River. Nikita was still sitting on its back, while Zhu Zhu was riding on the shoulders of a Gug giant.
She won't be left behind.
Behind the purple spider were groups of cold spiders, moon beasts and the strongest Zuge. The weak Zuge had fallen far behind and were very likely to be preyed upon by the Usa cats that were following them.
After leaving the city of Ursa, Nikita asked the ancestors to abandon their tribute and baggage and go all out to the enchanted forest. She needed to find the little witch lost in the forest before the Exoneration Hunting Team.
Because they were traveling all night, the wilderness was quiet. Apart from the bleak night wind and the starry sky, there was only the heavy breathing of the monsters under the banshee and the occasional horrifying howl.
Around this rapidly advancing army, there were still a large number of ghouls, who were the scouts of the banshees; in the sky, there were also a large group of ferocious Shantak birds, screaming strangely all the way, like a dark cloud, covering everyone.
heart.
Nikita turned a deaf ear to Zhu Zhu's whispered complaints and warnings.
She knew that Zhu Zhu had vaguely guessed her thoughts, but the little banshee was too timid and had no courage to compete with the captains for the spoils, so she could only nag and try to change Nikita's mind.
At the end of the Skye Valley is the edge of the Enchanted Forest.
Sitting on the giant purple spider, Nikita could already see the faint green light in the forest, which was the essence spit out by the mushrooms all over the enchanted forest at night.
The banshee raised her head and glanced at the sky.
The morning star has brightened.
She finally turned around and glanced at the little banshee: "For First University, no matter how many monsters and magical creatures there are, they are just a group of cannon fodder. If you don't want to become cannon fodder, you have to use all means to struggle like me...
Maybe I can just struggle to survive.”
"I have also spent more than half a year in the First University." The little banshee sitting on the shoulders of the Guge Giant shook her feet unconvinced: "I know many secret passages... It is very easy to mess up the school."
"The school you see is just the tip of an iceberg floating on the calm sea." Nikita turned his head again and looked at the enchanted forest getting closer and closer: "When you see a small mountain on the sea, where is it?
In the depths of the bottomless sea, there are also huge shadows hidden far beyond your imagination... I do not deny that there are many loopholes in the school's protection, but I don't think those loopholes are of much help to the captains' plans."
