Chapter 1155: Dream Test

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was the first time that Meng Chao had seen someone construct a dream so clearly.

As the threads of light crisscrossed, fragments of memories piled up.

It was an indescribable and mysterious scene.

If one had to describe it, it was as if the Ancient Dream Saintess had built a ma.s.sive, winding three-dimensional maze in Meng Chao’s mind. It was filled with forks, tunnels, and various dead ends.

Then, she connected the translucent, pyramid-like three-dimensional labyrinth to Meng Chao’s central nerves and the part of his brain that was in charge of memory.

Following that, spirit waves similar to brain waves rippled out from the golden threads and spread to the depths of Meng Chao’s brain.

Meng Chao felt that the three-dimensional labyrinth seemed to have turned into a bottomless swirl, which was strangely attractive to his subconscious.

He smiled slightly and split his subconscious into two.

Half of his subconscious swam toward the dream maze carefully constructed by the Ancient Dream Saintess.

The other half of his subconscious was still the supreme ruler of that brain region, standing above the dream maze and calmly controlling the overall situation.

The secret technique of splitting his subconscious into two was something that even many Deity Realm experts in Dragon City had not mastered.

However, Meng Chao had a double soul to begin with.

The “Apocalyptic Meng Chao” and his normal self were two completely different existences.

It was similar to what Leaf had said about the Ancient Dream Saintess who could rely on the arrival of the Big-horned Rat G.o.d to instantly transform into a female war G.o.d.

Half of Meng Chao’s subconscious pretended to be in a trance as he swam into the depths of the dream maze.

He woke up there.

Deep in the mountains, in the dense forests, there was a faint miasma that was howling repeatedly.

There was also an earthquake-like continuous shaking that was constantly pulling at the nerves of the person in the dream. It made the person in the dream feel helpless and in need of help.

Without a doubt, it was a nightmare.

In the nightmare, Meng Chao turned into a sallow and emaciated child that could be seen everywhere.

This might not have been the real appearance of Tree Root when he was young.

In the dream, a person could change into all kinds of strange images and even change their gender and ident.i.ty, but they would not doubt their existence.

From a certain point of view, the image of a person in the dream was the most realistic projection of the subconscious mind.

The sallow and emaciated child showed that although Tree Root had grown into a fearless warrior among the elite troops of the Great Horn Army…

Deep in his heart, he was still hurt by his parents’ killing by the totem beasts in his childhood.

“Run, Tree Root! Run!”

Meng Chao heard an anxious urging voice behind him.

When he turned around, he saw the Ancient Dream Saintess.

The Ancient Dream Saintess in the nightmare was a few years younger than she was in reality. She was only a little over ten years old at most, not much older than Meng Chao’s current appearance.

She was dressed in the same way as Meng Chao in the nightmare. Her clothes were shabby and covered in mud. Her palms and soles were covered in small wounds as if she had just crawled in the depths of the forest. She climbed to the top of the thorn-covered mandrake tree to pick golden fruits. Behind her was a huge wicker basket made from the branches of the mandrake tree. Mandrake fruits only filled half of the basket, but the weight was heavy. It was so heavy that she could not breathe.

“Run, Root. I will protect you!”

The shrunken version of the Ancient Dream Saintess placed her hand on Meng Chao’s shoulder and seriously told him, “Even if Mom and Dad are eaten by totem beasts, I will protect you, and we will escape this forest!”

The Ancient Dream Saintess’ face in the dream was blurry.

However, the palm that she placed on Meng Chao’s shoulder emitted a warm current that surged into Meng Chao’s subconscious.

It made Meng Chao believe subconsciously that he indeed had a “sister.”

The roars of the beasts in the distance were getting closer and closer.

There were also a few screams from the villagers mixed in.

There were also the sounds of the trees cracking and falling upon being struck by the beasts.

Meng Chao did not have time to think before his sister grabbed his wrist and ran desperately in the forest.

Behind them, the gra.s.s rustled as if a ferocious beast was going to jump out at any moment.

In front of them, the mountain was getting higher and higher, and they were about to reach the cliff.

Meng Chao could almost guess what the Ancient Dream Saintess was going to do.

According to the script, as long as they could run all the way to the cliff created by the Ancient Dream Saintess…

There was a high chance that they could activate the childhood memories of the non-existent rat warrior, Tree Root.

They would reveal the strange new world hidden in the deepest part of their memories, under the cliff.

At that time, the Ancient Dream Saintess would only need to take his subconscious and jump.

Naturally, they would be able to see the mysterious stone wall engraved with ancient runes.

However, Meng Chao was not prepared to dream 100% according to the Ancient Dream Saintess’ script.

He grinned in his heart, and a few faint ripples appeared in the depths of his brain, adding some unexpected elements to the Ancient Dream Saintess’ pre-planned dream.

“Tree Root! Tree Root!”

The two of them were running when they suddenly heard someone shouting in front of them.

It was a few rat children who were dressed similar to them.

One of them was clutching his ankle. He was in so much pain that he was drenched in cold sweat as he rolled on the ground.

On the path that the wild beast had stepped on, there was a vine that was three inches above the ground, and it was lying across the road.

It seemed that these children were also trying to avoid the totem beasts.

However, one of them had sprained her ankle in a panic.

The scene caused the Ancient Dream Saintess to be slightly stunned.

Obviously, she had not superfluously arranged for the “sprained ankle” in the dream.

However, in the minds of others, to construct a dream based on the memories of others was an unpredictable and uncontrollable thing in the first place.

The human brain was a deep and unfathomable ocean.

Dreaming was like raising a storm above the ocean.

No one knew what kind of sediment the monstrous waves would sweep up from the deepest part of the ocean.

Therefore, the Ancient Dream Saintess did not suspect that her constructed dream had been invaded. In reality, she did not even have complete control over them from the start.

She was only faced with a decision on how to deal with the “little companions” that appeared in these dreams.

“It’s Leaf, Tree Branch, Loud Voice, and Little Ear!” Meng Chao’s subconscious screamed in the nightmare.

“Sister, what should we do now?”

He calmly observed the Ancient Dream Saintess’ reaction.

If the Ancient Dream Saintess was really a person who would do anything to achieve her goal, her goal would be to see the runes on the stone wall deep inside Meng Chao’s brain.

She should not care about these “little friends” who were in her way. She should just grab Meng Chao’s wrist and continue running to the edge of the cliff in one breath.

If that was the case, she should be able to trigger the related memories of “facing the cliff and jumping down” into Meng Chao’s brain.

However, if that was the case, Meng Chao would have to endure the pain of his “little friend spraining her ankle, falling behind, and being eaten up by the totem beasts” in his nightmare.

It was the test that Meng Chao had arranged for the Ancient Dream Saintess.

If she really chose the simplest method, it meant that she did not care about the feelings of the rat folk warrior, Tree Root, at all.

She did not care whether she had brought a dream or a nightmare to others. She did not care about the brain that she had plundered, and she did not care if it would leave an indelible psychological wound.

No matter how strong this person was, she would be a potential partner who was worth Meng Chao’s time.

However…

The Ancient Dream Saintess frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, she chose another path.

“Don’t worry, Elder Sister has a way to save everyone!”

Her eyes sparkled as she smiled brightly at Meng Chao’s subconscious in the nightmare.

Then, she turned a deaf ear to the cries for help from the rat children in front of her. She grabbed Meng Chao’s wrist tightly and took a long detour, continuing to climb the mountain peak.

While Meng Chao was greatly disappointed…

The Ancient Dream Saintess suddenly stood still on a large bluestone and placed her palm next to her cheek. She took a deep breath and let out a sharp cry that pierced the clouds.

“Ahhh!”

For a moment, a few startled birds were stirred up in the dense forest.

The mandrake trees all over the mountains and plains swayed uncertainly in the midst of her cry.

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle… The bushes trembled continuously.

Kacha, kacha, kacha. From far to near, countless large trees fell one after another.

Accompanied by a gust of foul-smelling whirlwind, a savage-looking totem beast bared its teeth and crawled out from among the broken trees!

It was like cutting off a jackal by its waist, separating its head and tail, and stuffing a python’s waist in the middle.

At the same time, the beast possessed the ferocity of a jackal and the viciousness of a python.

On its slender back, along with its head and tail, hundreds of extremely sharp rhombus-shaped bone plates were densely erected. It was as if the entire spine was a sharp blade that combined both hardness and softness..
