The two said goodbye to the villagers who had regained their strength, watched them walking towards the village, and then returned to the cold cave. This time, the two chose another fork in the road and followed it to a deeper space than before.
.
The temperature continued to drop as the two of them moved forward, ice crystals began to condense on the surrounding cave walls, and micro stalactites made of ice hung from their heads. The road under their feet became slippery due to the ice, and Yuffie stepped carefully until
There was a disturbing wave of magic power coming from the front.
Two horse-like monsters shrouded in black smoke formed out of thin air in front of the two of them, raising their front hooves and stepping towards them. Lin instinctively raised her hand to grab the fallen horse's leg - then she held it and pressed hard
Throwing the half-empty, half-solid body to the side of the rock wall, she erected a simple force field barrier in front of her and watched as the other monster crashed into it.
The monster was tumbling in the air, trying to continue attacking the two men. Yuffie quickly recited a spell, and several sharp force field blades swept through the bodies of the two monsters, tearing them into harmless pieces.
fragments.
Such enemies obviously pose no threat to Yuffie and Lin. However, from Yuffie's point of view, this means that the situation in the cave is getting worse.
"It's similar to a ghost...but it's not a ghost, but a materialized dream product." She stared at the dissipated black smoke, slightly uneasy, and murmured with interest, "There are indeed many things in this continent that don't exist.
What about Al’s things?”
"It's no longer just a dream, but it's starting to affect reality... I hope nothing happens to the others." Lin also expressed her worries, "We'd better hurry up."
Yuffie nodded and sped up the pace. Not long after, they discovered two other missing villagers. Perhaps because they had entered here for a short time, their condition was better than the previous four——
Of course, it may also be related to the thick hair covering their bodies and faces.
Just like last time, they transported the two villagers outside the cave to let the nightmare that plagued them dissipate. Not long after, the two woke up one after another and expressed their gratitude to Yuffie and Lin.
"Do you know what happened here?" Yuffie asked without high expectations.
But to her surprise, the seemingly older monster gave an affirmative answer.
"I've heard that a monster has lived here since more than ten years ago." The monster with a golden mane on his face said, "In a sense, it should be a member of Suzuran Village.
But I don’t know why I don’t want to stay in the village, and I usually hide myself away from outsiders. Not only that, it seems that as long as I am willing, it can make it impossible for others to find it.”
"Isn't it a physical monster?" Yuffie raised her eyebrows and asked with some interest, "Has anyone actually seen it in the rumors?"
"Of course. At least Asang and Qingluo must know it." The male monster replied, "However, I don't know the specific origin of that guy."
"No problem, this information has been of great help." Lin patted the other party's shoulder comfortingly, "You have worked hard too, go back to the village and rest early."
The two turns back took a total of about two and a half hours. At this time, there was a dim light on the horizon, and the sun was peeking out from the other side of the earth. Yuffie yawned lightly, and once again joined her friends
Return to the depths of the cave.
Perhaps it was an accident, but it was somewhat expected. They saw Ah Sang sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, seemingly falling into a deep sleep. What made her a little strange was that, unlike other people, the male Elna was not only
There was no sign of being haunted by nightmares, and there was a faint smile on his face - an expression he had never had before when he was awake.
The man seemed to be aware of their arrival and slowly opened his eyes. The smile on his face disappeared and turned into indifference and alienation again.
"Mr. Assan, are you okay?" Although she was sure that the other party was fine, Yuffie still tried to ask.
"It's okay, it was just a nice dream." The Erna male stood up without even looking at Yuffie, "Since you are here, I will leave this place to you."
Before he finished speaking, he passed by the two of them and walked out of the cave without looking back.
"What's going on with him?" Lin stared at the other person's back and complained with some dissatisfaction, "The Feist I know is not like this at all!"
"Perhaps he has his own reasons." Yuffie shrugged and tried to defend him, even though she was also confused about it. "In short, when he said that he would hand this place over to us, it also means... that he trusts our ability.
Bar."
"That's weird." The blonde girl stuck out her tongue, walked around the corner, and continued to walk forward.
The air seemed to be getting more humid and colder, even though there was no visible water source nearby. The humid air soaked into Yuffie's coat and seeped into her skin, making the girl shiver slightly. She raised her hand and waved it a few times, using her secret
The technique restored her and Lin's bodies to comfortable warmth.
The danger didn't just come from the cold. Yuffie felt a strange tiredness coming over her, as if she had just done an experiment for two days and two nights. At this time, her clearest thought was to find a bed and have a good sleep.
She saw her friend's steps slowing down, raising her hands and yawning continuously.
A burst of warm power flowed through her body, making the girl's mind clear up a bit - Ada's power sensed the abnormality in her body and began to operate spontaneously. She shook her head hard and quickly displayed a protective
The spell isolates the two of them from external spiritual intrusions.
"Hey, it seems like you just took a nap?" Lin stretched hard and shook her head, but her expression became serious, "It seems that you underestimated that monster, and even I almost got hit by it.
.”
"This place has the power to bring people into dreams, and it is quite hidden. If Qingluo came here, she would probably also fall into a dream." Yuffie straightened her expression and took two deep breaths to prepare her body and mind for the response.
Preparation for emergencies, "I'm afraid, we are close to the source of the problem."
As if in response to what the girl said, an ethereal and ethereal voice belonging to a female child came vaguely from the front.
"Dream - pray for - peace -"
That was not a hallucination, nor was it a mental attack, it was simply words transmitted through thinking. This may mean that the other party discovered them, or it may be that they were murmuring alone - the meaning contained in the words was not clear.
Yuffie and her friend beside her looked at each other and ran towards the direction of the sound.
