Chapter 700 Time Disorder Forest

Mu You woke up from his coma.

Above his head was a pale red sky. Under the strange-colored sky, there were spiral clouds, replacing the white clouds and blue sky, resembling Van Gogh's famous starry sky painting, stirring and merging rapidly in a very abstract way in the low-altitude range.

Sitting up and looking around, he was on a piece of emerald green land. In the distance was a sparse forest. The trees growing in the forest were not normal trees, but twisted and twisted dead trees. They were more like "monsters" that were baring their fangs and claws to intimidate the visitors.

Even more bizarre was that above the earth, there were a large number of transparent spheres floating.

These spheres were of different sizes, the largest was as big as a basketball, and the smallest was only the size of a glass marble. The only thing in common was that all the spheres were playing some kind of dynamic pictures, just like the crystal balls of fortune-tellers.

"Is this... a dream?" Mu You was a little surprised.

The environment here is very different from what he imagined, because the backpack space is full of beautiful scenery, which makes him subconsciously think that the dream world is similar.

As a result, the style of the real dream world is completely different. Compared with the real style, this place is more like a fairy tale world scribbled by children with crayons, and it is a dark version...

Xiao Ya and Lin Xue also woke up beside him at this time. The three of them were only wearing a very simple layer of cloth, and their own clothes, equipment, storage rings, and even the magic spells and divine power in their minds were all gone.

"Yes, this is the dream world."

Vivian's familiar voice sounded, and the crow landed on the treetops in front of it while flapping its wings, looking at the three people who were a little messy below.

"Don't be nervous. Your power and equipment are not gone. It's just that you haven't materialized in the dream yet."

"Materialize?"

"Focus and imagine the items and abilities you have in your mind. The more specific the details, the better. However, the premise is that they must be things you own in reality."

Vivian reminded, and seeing the three of them looking at each other at a loss, she comforted them: "Don't worry, you won't be used to it when you first come in. Just get familiar with it slowly... OK..."

Vivian couldn't finish her words.

Because she had seen Mu You's complete clothes and equipment quickly appear on him.

Following him was Lin Xue, who also completely recovered her state in the outside world after closing her eyes for a few seconds.

"It seems that divine power can also be materialized..."

Mu You looked at his hands thoughtfully, and suddenly his right hand slashed forward in the shape of a hand knife.

A miniature crescent sword energy took shape, drifted across the grass, and hit a dead tree in the distance. The victim's dead tree was cut into pieces in a burst of white light and disappeared on the spot.

"Magic can also..."

Lin Xue looked at Mu You's actions, grabbed in the air, and a magic wand appeared in her hand. As the magic wand was waved, a water ball floated out and exploded in front of her, and the air nearby instantly became misty.

"Uh, can things that are not on you be materialized?"

Mu You looked at the bag of cat food in his hand with a strange look, opened it and tasted a few grains.

"It has no taste, it's just a simple fantasy product... but it seems that it can really be used to fill your stomach here."

Lin Xue on the opposite side also tried it, but no cat food appeared in her hand.

"It seems that not everything can be materialized, only things that belong to you."

Cat food is the goods of the pet store, and before the goods are sold, the ownership belongs to Mu You, the "store manager".

"What about pets?"

"It seems not, living things can't be materialized..."

"But summoning magic creatures can..."

...

Vivian watched the two of them talking to each other. In just a few minutes, they had basically figured out the rules of the dream, and suddenly felt redundant.

You know, when she first came in, it took her a whole day to barely adapt to the materialization rules here...

Fortunately, Xiaoya, who was not far away, was still in a mess at this moment. Mu You and Lin Xue were already dressed in divine clothes, and she had just started to materialize clothes.

Seeing Xiaoya's clumsy appearance, Vivian was relieved. This was the performance of a normal person.

Fortunately, it was not that she was too old to keep up with the changes of the times, but that these two people were too evil...

"Don't worry, do as I say..."

Vivian began to concentrate on teaching Xiaoya the instructions she had originally prepared for the three people. It took more than an hour to finally make Xiaoya familiar with the various materialization rules here.

"In short, what appears here is not your real body, but a kind of 'dream body' condensed by the spirit, so don't worry if you die here accidentally. At most, you will wake up in reality and then cannot enter here again for a short time."

"What about our real bodies?"

"The real bodies are with the elves and will be protected by the World Tree. Before you wake up, no one can hurt you unless someone actively attacks the World Tree. After our real bodies are injured, they may be forcibly dragged out of the dream."

As she spoke, Vivian had already led the three people to the depths of the dream.

Mu You passed by a light ball floating on the roadside and curiously went over to take a look.

In the picture in the light ball, a man was being chased by some kind of monster in the temple. He was panting and tumbling and crawling in the mountains and forests.

"These are 'dream balls', the dreams of a creature in the outside world... In theory, all the dreams of creatures in the outside world will be projected in real time somewhere in this world to form corresponding dream balls." Vivian explained.

The three looked around, and all the light balls around them were playing dream scenes, beautiful dreams, nightmares, ordinary dreams, pleasant dreams... There were all kinds of strange dreams, which could be called the world.

All kinds of human desires were also reflected vividly in these light balls.

The four people watched the dream balls on the road all the way, moving forward silently, and some square-shaped barriers gradually began to appear along the way.

These barriers are all standard 100 meters in length, width and height, forming neat cubes on the ground.

The originally wide and flat dream world was cut apart by these abrupt cubes, becoming a little messy. Some cubes were connected together in a row, blocking their way like the Great Wall, so they had to take a detour.

"These blocks, could it be..." Mu You looked at the shape of the blocks and realized something.

"These are the backpack spaces." Vivian nodded: "It's just that these spaces have been cut out of the dream and turned from virtual to physical space, and we are now in a dream state, but we can't enter these places."

Sure enough...

Mu You walked to a block and reached out to touch the barrier in front of him.

The inside of this invisible barrier was blocked by a layer of hazy white mist, and the scene inside could not be seen clearly.

And they looked out from the edge of the backpack space before and saw the same scene.

This kind of barrier that separates the virtual and the real can probably only be crossed by dream travelers like Mi Mi.

"Huh?"

Just thinking about it, Mu You suddenly frowned and turned to look behind them. There was a block not far from them.

"Still hiding? Come out."

As Mu You shouted, a little girl walked out from behind the block with a smirk, scratching her head, and looked at the few people with some embarrassment.

"Didn't I tell you to stay at home?" Mu You looked at the girl who walked out helplessly.

Of course, the one who can appear here is Mianmian.

"I'm at home, but I will automatically come here when I fall asleep. What can I do?" Mianmian spread her hands, her eyes wandering to find a reason.

As she spoke, a pink pig came out from behind her with a grunt, arched its nose and sniffed everywhere, and finally walked to a dream ball that was playing a nightmare, raised its nose, stuck to the surface of the light ball, and sucked hard.

The nightmare in the dream ball was immediately sucked out, leaving only a pure and colorless light ball.

The dream-eating tapir chewed with a satisfied expression as if it had eaten a delicious snack.

"Yes, I am usually responsible for feeding the pig. You don't care about it. If I didn't bring it in often to "eat dreams", it would have starved to death long ago." The little girl jumped on the back of the dream-eating tapir, and suddenly became righteous.

The dream-eating tapir did not reject her, but seemed to have long been accustomed to her existence. Like a docile mount, it carried the little girl and wandered aimlessly in the space.

"You really did it..." Mu You raised his eyebrows.

Before, he heard Riley say that there was a pink "pig" that solved the mutation of the dream world. He guessed that it might be the dream-eating tapir, because the time was just right. The dream-eating tapir appeared in the pet store three months ago.

This little guy has no other function except eating nightmares. It is regarded as a mascot by everyone. No one usually cares about it. Only Mianmian sticks to it every day.

Unexpectedly, the two little guys solved a disaster in the dream world without saying a word.

"What did I do?" The little girl was a little confused.

"Nothing, good job." Mu You touched her head and encouraged with a smile.

The little girl's eyes lit up: "So I can go on an adventure with you?"

Mu You hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. After all, it was a dream world and there would be no danger to life.

"Follow closely, don't run around."

"I know, I know!" The little girl smiled happily, patted the dream-eating tapir in a hurry, and rode the pig to catch up with the four people.

Then Vivian led a few people to wander in the dream, and they walked for a whole day.

Vivian did not walk in a straight line, but a route with many turns. Mu You once suspected that she was lost and was taking them in circles.

Until the evening of the next day, Mu You suddenly realized that they had returned to the starting point when they came in!

It was indeed going in circles...

But at the same time, a dense forest that had never been seen before appeared in front of the few people.

"What is this?" Mu You looked at Vivian strangely. He was very sure that this forest did not exist before.

"This is the Dream Forest. You can understand it as the 'moat' outside the Heart of Time. As long as you pass through this forest, you can reach the Heart of Time." Vivian said.

"How did you do it?" Mu You was curious about how they got here. Could it be that this forest was here from the beginning, but you had to go around in a circle to see it?

"Theoretically, dreams are a world without boundaries. Its specific size depends on the number of living creatures in the world. The more creatures there are, the larger the dream world will be."

"And in such a vast dream world, if you want to go to a specific place, of course you can't just walk to find it." Vivian said.

"Then how..."

"If you want to go anywhere in a dream, you just need to keep thinking about the place in your mind. The clearer the details, the better. As long as you don't relax in the middle of the day, this place will automatically appear in front of you within a day. The specific details will appear in front of you within a day. The length of time depends on the importance of the place."

"I see……"

Mu You understood. No wonder Vivian took them in a circle. In the dream world, there was no concept of getting lost. As long as you kept walking, you would reach your destination sooner or later, regardless of the direction.

"There are...a lot of balls in here..."

Xiaoya curiously walked to the front of the forest, set up a pergola, and looked inside. She saw that the forest was densely packed and filled with a large number of dream balls.

Mu You and Lin Xue had also discovered at this time that the density of dream balls in this forest was obviously much higher than in other areas, and the forest was dark and deep, with no end visible at a glance, giving people a sense of horror that they would never return.

"The reason why the 'dream balls' here are denser than other places is because it is close to the center of time. The dream balls here not only contain dreams that are ongoing in real time, but also include dreams from the past and even dreams from the future."

"In short, time in this forest is chaotic. Any creature that walks in will randomly fall into another person's dream, usually a nightmare. We need to find the owner of the dream in the dream, and then help him fulfill his wish, so that Only by turning this nightmare into a sweet dream can we get out of the forest," Vivian said.

"So troublesome?" Mu You frowned upon hearing this.

Not to mention the need to enter other people's dreams, but also to help the dream owner fulfill his wish... What if the dream owner is a pervert and the wish is to destroy the world or something, how long will it take to complete it...

"This is a self-protection mechanism of the Heart of Time. Otherwise, if any creature could break into the Heart of Time, everything would be in chaos." Vivian shook her head.

"Then what will happen if the dream master's wish is not fulfilled?" Lin Xue asked at this time.

"You will be trapped until the dream owner finishes the dream. You will be kicked out of the dream and wake up directly. Then you will not be able to enter the dream world again for a long time." Vivian said.

After saying that, seeing the solemn expressions on the three people's faces, she comforted: "But don't worry, as far as I know, people who enter the Dream Forest for the first time will enter the dream of a person they are familiar with, and their wishes are generally not the same." It would be too difficult to achieve.”

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. That was okay. People he knew generally understood each other better and communication would not be too difficult.

Moreover, with their current strength, they can do whatever they want in ordinary dreams. As long as they are not too unlucky, it should not be difficult to pass.

The only thing that needs to be noted is that the time of the dream is random. It may be a dream that the person had in the past, or a dream in the future, or even a dream in infancy. The dreams of the same person at different stages of life may be very different. (End of chapter)
