Chapter 710 The Dream of a Level 5 Powerful Man (Part 2)

The sounds of laughter and play rang out, and a group of boys and girls about the same age as the boy Huzhang, chasing each other, appeared in Lei Xiao's field of vision.

Seeing the juvenile knotweed under the big tree, the group of boys and girls stopped in unison and looked straight over.

Some of them were holding wooden swords in their hands, some were wearing weird dragon masks, and some were wearing princess dresses. Although they were dressed in different styles, their eyes when looking at the knotweed were all full of teasing and contempt.

It was like seeing an alien that was out of place.

"Isn't this Dragon Slayer's Son Knotweed?"

The young man with the wooden sword at the head took a step forward and snorted coldly: "My father said that he will file a complaint with the elder grandfather today and drive you father and son out of the village!"

"Really? It's great. Finally, we don't have to see this annoying, stupid guy anymore!"

Another skinny young man with a dragon mask on his head also said: "Letting a dragon slayer live in the village is simply an insult to our Dragon Respecting Village!"

"That's right, my mother said that if you play with such people, you will be punished sooner or later!"

The girl in a tattered princess dress first looked at the young knotweed cautiously. When she saw that the knotweed didn't respond, she put her hands on her hips and agreed,

"Smash him! Smash him!"

After saying that, the group of boys and girls laughed and picked up the stones one after another and threw them towards the location of the young knotweed.

When the young tiger stick under the tree heard the sound, he just looked at them indifferently, as if he had been used to this kind of scene for a long time, and avoided the stones thrown at him without saying a word.

It is not difficult to see from the flexible posture of the young tiger stick that at this age, he has at least reached the strength of a third-level senior powerhouse, or even a third-level peak powerhouse.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown.

From the eyes of the young Huzhang, in addition to indifference, I also saw deep helplessness, anger, and even a hint of urgency and desire to join the other party.

"It's not because the Japanese knotweed scares the children in the village that they don't dare to come out to play. It's obviously the children in the village who are bullying the Japanese knotweed."

Recalling the complaints and accusations he heard at the door of the large round house before, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Such a scene makes it easy for people to imagine how much glare and criticism the Polygonum cuspidatum experienced at that time, and then grew up alone day after day.

"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, it seems that Polygonum Knotweed's youth was very unsatisfactory."

Jin Wen's indignant clear voice reached Lei Xiao's ears: "Hu Zhi's father seems to be a fifth-level dragon-slaying warrior, and from how he avoided the stones just now, it is not difficult to see that Hu Zhi's talent is also the same.

It’s a once-in-a-century experience.”

"It is simply unbelievable that such a light of human race has fallen to such a state."

After a pause, Jin Wen frowned and added: "And the title 'Dragon Killer' is obviously derogatory, just like a murderer."

"Yes, in normal epics, although there are all kinds of dragon-slaying warriors, each one of them becomes a legend because they disregard their own safety, step forward at critical moments, and save the people from the fire and water under the raging dragon's breath.

The heroes in the story are dubbed "brave" and are praised throughout the ages."

Lei Xiao nodded and muttered: "But here it is completely the opposite. The dragon-slaying hero has become the one who is most despised by thousands of people. It is obviously not in line with common sense, and the people here seem to have an abnormal worship of the dragon clan.

."

"It's true. Whether it's from the honorific title of 'Dragon King', the contemptuous title of 'Dragon Slayer', or from the dragon masks worn by the young people and other details, the folk customs here are indeed very strange."

Jin Wen's eyebrows knitted together, and he sighed softly: "I have to say, it is really a sad thing that the brave dragon slayer is so despised by others."

Just when the two of them were talking about this, the group of boys and girls who threw stones at the juvenile knotweed had already ran away again laughing, as if what they had just laughed at was just the flowers and plants on the roadside.

Not long after, the door of the large round house not far away was opened, and Huzhang's father walked out of it with a look of sadness and helplessness. When the young Huzhang saw this, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Lei Xiao and Jin Wen also followed closely behind Huzhang.

"Father, are they really not going to let us continue to live here?"

When he got closer, he saw an urgent expression on the young Huzhang's face, and he quickly asked: "Those bad guys must have said bad things about us in front of the elder, right?"

"It's us who have affected the life here. We can't blame them."

Knotweed's father touched Knotweed's head and said with a smile: "Okay, pack your things, a new journey is about to begin."

"But this is the ninth time we have moved this year."

The young Huzhang's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head and said, "Father, can't you and I leave this kingdom? Why do we have to suffer such white looks every day?"

"Japanese knotweed, no nonsense."

Hearing this, the gentle face of Huzhang's father suddenly became serious, and he said seriously: "My family has been the guardian of the "Dragon Fall Country" for generations. We have fought bloody battles to protect this country. How can we do this casually?

Leave this land that has given birth to my family for thousands of years?"

"Father, that was all before. From the moment we were ruthlessly driven out of the royal capital, this country no longer needs us! Even the five giant dragons who once killed five giant dragons for this country and saved

Countless people, even you who saved a country, have become the object of ridicule!"

The young Huzhang's expression became a little angry, and he argued with reason: "You were once a glorious dragon-slaying Duke with unparalleled glory, but now even these villagers who have been saved by you look down on you.

If that's the case, then what reason do we have to stay here?"

"Polygonum cuspidatum, the roots of our clan are in this land, and our branches and leaves are also in this land. This land has witnessed the battles of countless ancestors, buried the sacred remains of countless ancestors, and left behind the legends of countless ancestors.

This is the soul of our family and our indelible glory and glory on this land."

The resolute face of Knotweed's father became one of reverence, and he said meaningfully to Knotweed: "So, just like a tree cannot survive without its roots, no matter what happens to this land, this is still our home, and we must still remain silent.

Protecting this land, perhaps, is the fate of the guardian."

"Fate...the price of fate is to be criticized by others and bear everything alone?"

The face of the young Huzhang showed an maturity that was inconsistent with his age, and he said coldly: "I understand, but the reason why I stay in this land is just for my father. This place is not worth protecting!"

After finishing speaking, the young man Huzhang bit his lip tightly and walked to the front without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Judging from the pained expression on Hezhuang's face before he turned around, this place could indeed be called his nightmare.

After all, the person whom Hu Guang admires and admires the most is his father, a brave dragon-slayer, but in this gray-black mountain village, everyone sneers at his father as if he were looking at a pile of garbage.

"Your Excellency, guest minister, it seems that the country where the knotweed is located is indeed an extremely abnormal place."

Jin Wen followed the footsteps of Huzhang and his son, while frowning and saying: "I wonder what kind of changes happened here to make a heroic figure like the Dragon Slaying Hero become an object of contempt in people's mouths?"

"As long as we understand this, maybe we can find a way to awaken the knotweed that has fallen into the illusion."

Lei Xiao also immediately took his own steps, following closely behind Huzhang and his son.

It didn't take long for the father and son of Huzhang to suddenly disappear at the end of a country road.

Upon seeing this, Lei Xiao was stunned, and quickly looked at Jin Wen, who had his arms folded on his chest, and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

"Your Excellency, guest sir, don't worry. As I just said, we are just on the surface of the illusion, or the surface of the nightmare weaved for the knotweed in the "Dream Devouring Realm"."

I saw Jin Wen smiled and said calmly: "The body of the knotweed has gone deeper into the dream, and the "Dream Devouring Realm" allows the trapped people to reincarnate in these dreams.

Exacerbating the mental collapse of those trapped."

"I understand, then how can we go to the depths of the dream?"

Lei Xiao nodded suddenly, rubbing his chin and asked.

"It is difficult to use ordinary methods, but the person standing in front of you is the number one illusionist in the Cold Flame Kingdom."

The smile on Jin Wen's fair face became even bigger, and he could be seen silently reciting a few spells, while his slender fingers made dots one after another in mid-air.

Immediately, with a burst of white mist rising, a spiral translucent cyan portal appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

"He is indeed a master of illusion."

Feeling surprised, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then he and Jin Wen stepped into the portal one behind the other.

The portal in the illusion did not give Lei Xiao a sense of weightlessness like a real space portal.

Rather, it was like a real door. When Lei Xiao stepped through the threshold, the surrounding scene immediately changed.

Looking around, Lei Xiao found that he had come to an extremely dark place.

This is a vast underground space, with little golden fluorescent lights flashing everywhere, like some kind of fireflies, or like the deep night sky.

Not far away, the outline of an extremely majestic large city is looming, like a giant beast, quietly lurking deep underground.

"A giant underground city?"

Looking at the urban structure that was quite similar to Hearth City, a look of surprise appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he murmured to himself: "Why did this obviously alien city appear in the dream of Polygonum Weed?"

However, the scene in front of him passed by in a flash.

Lei Xiao only felt a cyan light flickering suddenly. When his vision became clear again, the surrounding scene had changed to a large and solemn military camp.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, guest, the underground city just now was an accident, please don't take it to heart."

There was a hint of embarrassment on Jin Wen's fair face, and he said hurriedly: "This is the real dream reflection of Japanese knotweed."

"I see."

Looking at Jin Wen's panicked look, Lei Xiao reacted immediately.

Before entering the illusion, Jin Wen once introduced that this "Dream Devouring Realm" can not only reflect the target's dream, but also occasionally reflect the deepest hearts of other intruders or trapped persons.

For example, the pure white temple we saw at the beginning is the inner image of Rei.

"Why is Jin Wen's inner image a magnificent underground city? Could it be that the body under his illusion disguise is not a human race, but a dwarf?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the tall and slender mature witch beside him and couldn't help but curled his lips. Such a huge contrast was simply unimaginable.

However, Lei Xiao quickly refocused his attention on the new scene around him.

The most important thing now is to get the knotweed out of the illusion, not the time to think about other things.

Looking around, Lei Xiao noticed further.

This is a temporary military camp surrounded by wooden fences. There are many arrow towers in the distance and tents nearby. It can be seen that it is very large in scale.

The sky above the head was still an extremely gloomy gray-black, and the sound of armor clashing from the patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time caused a strange chilling air to hit his face.

"I remember that during the chat, Huzhang once accidentally revealed that he had been in the army for a period of time. This should be the scene back then, right?"

Looking at the group of spearmen marching neatly in front of him, Lei Xiao murmured to himself: "Judging from the gray-black sky and the characteristics of this illusion, this is obviously not a wonderful memory.

"

"Your Excellency, guest minister, look at the battle flags flying in this military camp and the coat of arms on the tents. Almost all of them are various dark green dragon designs."

Jin Wen's voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again: "It seems that the people here really worship the dragon, or to be more precise, the green dragon."

"Indeed."

Lei Xiao pondered and nodded.

There are many kinds of dragons in this world.

In addition to the red dragon that Hong Ye belongs to, there are also blue dragons that are good at water spells, sound dragons that are good at sonic booms, purple-winged dragons that are good at thunder and darkness spells, etc.

This also includes green dragons who are good at poison and corrosion spells.

"According to Hong Ye, green dragons are known for their cunning and cruelty among the dragon clan. The protagonists in many dragon disasters in history are green dragons that can spray and corrode all poisonous dragon breaths."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

A heavy horn sounded, and a messenger on a war horse galloped past Lei Xiao shouting: "The entire assault brigade led by Captain Huzhang was wiped out, and only Captain Huzhang survived!"

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the chilly atmosphere in the military camp suddenly became a little subtle.

Not long after, a burly figure wearing blood-stained silver armor staggered over from the direction of the camp entrance.

Lei Xiao looked intently and saw that this person was none other than the scarred young Huzhang.
