Chapter 883 - 883 882 In the Midst of Sleep

Chapter 883: Chapter 882: In the Midst of Sleep Chapter 883: Chapter 882: In the Midst of Sleep Sheltering Han Dong’s squad in a large-scale migration, the product of Black Water was not a monster as seen in the “Alien” movie but a human form with a flattened head, its body covered with a shell similar to that of an alien.

In experiment texts, such a form was described as “incomplete metamorphosis” or “low-level metamorphosis,” all classified as defective and solely used as guards for the Round Valley Pack.

However, even though these creatures had no cultivation value, short lifespans, and low intelligence akin to beasts,

their physical condition was still very strong… among them, over ten elite ones were the monsters that ambushed in the woods at the start, nearly decapitating Mia.

It was also because of such a large-scale migration.

Even when passing through other “cultivation zones” along the way, others politely made way, after all, thousands of Black Water products in the peripheral zone amounted to a comparatively formidable army.

Not a single local discovered that Han Dong and others were mingled among them.

In almost nonstop traveling, they spent a whole two days and two nights.

Relying on the support of Travel Mode, they crossed a serpent-like valley with green river water and finally arrived at the largest desert of the City of Gods—the “Grey Area.”

Unlike the yellow deserts imagined, this desert was made up of grey sand grains… which might not be silica crystals but another type of material.

The altitude of Grey Area Desert was the lowest point on this planet… similar to a basin structure.

“Such an exaggerated geographical structure is truly unseen on Earth.”

The Grey Area Desert was about 1000 meters lower in elevation than the valley area where Han Dong was currently.

Meaning, the edges of Grey Area Desert were cliffs thousands of meters tall.

The naturally formed “High Wall” isolated this desert like a naturally formed “Forbidden Area.”

Standing at the edge of the cliff, Han Dong and others gazed at the boundless grey desert, an inexplicable sense of danger sweeping over them.

Intuition told Han Dong that once they entered the desert, they might be further restricted by the System, such as “No-Fly.”

Moreover, the Black Water products that had sheltered them to this point dared not approach the desert, not even the cliffs… maintaining a distance of over a hundred meters from the desert’s edge.

Since their intelligence was low and they lacked a language system, their consciousness was nothing but a mush, it was impossible to know what they were afraid of, possibly just instinctual fear.

“We’re an hour ahead of schedule, let’s rest for a bit.”

At Han Dong’s suggestion, the squad found a secluded cave on the edge of the valley, where they would rest overnight before continuing on.

As for the Black Water products that had escorted everyone here, Han Dong granted them their freedom, leaving them to their own demise.

“In between caves”

To ensure everyone could rest well.

Dumps, through the precise control of Magic Power by his “Sixth Finger,” created a highly dense water bed with resilience that perfectly conformed to the body, definitely more comfortable than any soft bed in Holy City.

Seizing such an opportunity.

Mia immediately hugged Han Dong and dragged him towards one of the water beds.

“Do you intend to mate?”

Upon hearing this,

Han Dong, who was drinking water, sprayed it out immediately.

Mia was equally startled when she heard this statement.

She had been duped too many times, and having the opportunity to lie down and sleep next to Han Dong was already a luxury; she hadn’t thought about anything beyond that.

Besides, there were so many people in the cave, although in Mia’s eyes, it seemed both Abe and Dumps had a thing with Han Dong, it was not possible to engage in a “group activity” here.

The person who made this statement was none other than Lord Maritzis.

In her worldview, mating was a very normal thing.

The most common sight in the streets and alleys of Toad City was mating… Of course, Maritzis wasn’t just anyone. As an ‘Ancestor Body,’ only males who were also ‘Ancestor Bodies’ had the qualifications to mate with her.

Maritzis continued to speak earnestly:

“I also advise you not to mate during this time period, as it will consume excessive physical energy… primarily rest.”

“…”

Han Dong had just wanted to explain something.

But Maritzis had already sunk her body into the pond formed by her own domain and had fallen sound asleep, giving Han Dong no chance to explain.

Not explaining was just as well; Han Dong didn’t mind. “Sleep now… The Grey Area Desert hides unknown dangers, and finding the ‘City of Gods’ is not an easy task.

We spent two days reaching the edge of the Grey Area Desert, and then slept another night. The progress of other teams should be similar to ours, and there is a certain probability of encountering other teams before we reach the City of Gods.

Being labeled as ‘Demon,’ deadly battles are inevitable.”

Han Dong didn’t push Mia away either, since she wanted to cuddle.

The secret cave had already been spatially sealed by Maritzis with the ‘Stone of Moist Tumor,’ ensuring absolute safety during sleep.

About an hour had passed since everyone had dozed off.

The Deep Sea Mark on the back of Han Dong’s left hand subtly lit up… It was at this moment that Han Dong woke up in a special dream.

It was still the temporary resting cave, but none of his companions were there.

Due to the activation of the Deep Sea Mark, Han Dong realized that he was now in a dream.

“Could it be that some creature is scouting this area through the ‘Dream,’? Normally, the Deep Sea Mark does not activate on its own.

What I am now in is a ‘Real Dream,’ where all abilities can be used normally.”

Han Dong slowly walked out of the cave.

At the cliff, he encountered a ‘monk’ clad in a simple grey monk’s robe with twelve scars of discipline on his head, exactly the image of a monk from Han Dong’s homeland.

“It’s my first time meeting another team member who has a ‘Real Dream’… Strange, although you carry the mark of a demon by Fate Space and emit a demonic aura,

with the Heart-eye, you appear in human form.

A Western knight captured by demons?”

Han Dong spoke in fluent Mandarin, “I only came here through the ‘Door of Fate’ modified by ‘Demon’ due to an accidental situation… Are you a warrior from Dragon City?”

“Little monk – Gu Xu.”

Han Dong quickly brought up a person, “I’ve dealt with Huo Ziping in the Fate Space before, and I’ll certainly visit Dragon City if I have the chance.”

“True and false, false and true… Let the little monk decide what is true and what is false.”

A sense of danger that reached deep into his brain entered Han Dong’s nerves.

The Void Tentacles, already primed for action, wrapped around a rock ten meters behind him at the first instance – “Void Transfer”.

Upon completing the transfer,

the spot where Han Dong had just stood bore a giant palm imprint a meter deep… A droplet of cold sweat rolled down Han Dong’s cheek.

The monk who claimed to be Gu Xu still sat at the edge of the cliff, motionless.

“A demon body yet cast with a human heart… interesting.”
