Deep in the forest, Ding Meng's group of four was quietly moving through the swamp.
The night was still misty, and it was raining again. Gu Zi shuttled through all kinds of strange plants.
Although he and Yizi were ordinary humans, they had lived on Thousand Sails Star since they were young, so they were very familiar with the terrain. They knew very well where they couldn't go, what they couldn't touch, and what they couldn't eat.
Eisendell wasn't impatient about this. Now that she and Ding Meng had completely controlled and concealed their auras, they shuttled through the polluted areas of the Devourer World on foot. It would be very difficult for the starships in the sky to detect their whereabouts.
The four of them walked to the bottom of a cliff. Gu Zi used a javelin to push aside a few thick purple-blue leaves and pointed at a pile of rocks at the bottom of the cliff. "It's here, Ding Meng!"
Ding Meng nodded. "I remember. Back then, Uncle and the village chief mentioned that this place is a forbidden zone!"
Eisendell was curious. "Forbidden zone?"
Gu Zi explained, "Yes, Grandpa once said that there are ghosts and gods here, and that we shouldn't come here unless necessary."
For an origin ability user like Eisendell, the so-called ghosts and gods were rather ignorant. After all, this was the backward Thousand Sails Star. The natives didn't have much knowledge and didn't know anything about spirits. Therefore, they thought that spirits were something like gods and ghosts.
"What's so special about this place?" Eisendell asked.
Yizi explained, "There are gods here. Unless there's a disaster, you can't go in. Monsters are the same. None of them are allowed to enter."
Eisendell thought to herself that it was no wonder they hadn't seen any Devourer Monsters along the way.
Ding Meng had already started digging. This pile of rubble was obviously man-made. Once it was cleared, a gloomy cave entrance was revealed. After entering, they found that it was a natural cave. The cave wasn't very big, but it naturally extended underground. After sensing it slightly, they didn't find anything unusual.
However, as they walked down, they felt as if they had returned to the interior of the large energy crystal fortification. They kept circling and slowly heading down. Not only was the terrain of the cave very complicated, but it also seemed to have no end. It was simply frighteningly deep. But the strange thing was that this bottomless pit did not have any traces of artificial excavation. At the same time, the passage and the four walls were very dry.
Of course, there was one thing that was certain. It was indeed very safe to hide here. At the very least, the radar in the sky could not penetrate it.
"How do you know there's such a place?" Eisendale was very curious.
Ding Meng explained, "In the war of the Devourers a hundred years ago, the Devourers were forced to Thousand Sails Star by the Federation's fleet. They had nowhere else to go, and they had no choice but to leave behind a large number of strategic resources and poisons."
Eisendale asked, "Buried under here?"
Ding Meng said, "It's been a hundred years. I'm not sure if these things are still there, but this terrain is the best cover."
Eisendale nodded. There were countless natural caves like this on Thousand Sails Star. The Federation's fleet could not search them one by one. As long as the pollution was not too great, the army would usually ignore it. This was also the army's way of dealing with the Devourers.
"Then how long do we have to hide?" Eisendale asked again.
"Until it's safe!" Ding Meng sighed. "I'm fine with it. I'm just worried that you'll be bored!"
Eisendale understood what he meant. Ding Meng did not care about the revenge of the Starbow Group, but he was worried that the Guzi siblings would be implicated.
However, Guzi and Yizi had been hunting in the dark for many years, and they had also trained their night vision. Even in this pitch-black darkness, everyone could still see clearly, so there was no need to use flashlights or other sources of light.
Yizi suddenly looked up and said, "Brother Ding Meng, we've walked so deep. Why haven't we seen any gods yet?"
Guzi said, "It's a good thing that we haven't seen any. Grandpa used to say that gods sometimes help people, and sometimes they hurt people. They're erratic, and only those who are fated can come in contact with them. Let's go with Brother and Sister Ding Meng. There's so much to eat anyway, so we don't have to worry about being hungry."
"Oh!" Yizi looked a little disappointed.
The four of them continued to descend. After walking for an unknown period of time, a spacious cave appeared before their eyes.
This cave was relatively flat. It was like a circular hall with an area of more than three thousand square meters. In the center of the hall, there were sixteen pillars. The pillars formed a circle, and the ground formed a circular platform. There were steps on the platform, and it looked more like an altar.
Eisendale hesitated and said, "Is this something from the Devourers' World?"
Ding Meng nodded. This place was very similar to the energy pool inside the Void Spirit Ray, but there were obvious differences. This was because the altar was completely dry. It should be known that most of the things in the Devourers' World were poisonous fog. There were very few dry and clean environments.
"Let's rest here!"
Ding Meng sat down in the open space on the altar. He wasn't tired, but Guzi and Yizi couldn't move for a long time. They had to eat to recover their strength.
The relationship between the two siblings was undoubtedly very good. After the two ate some jerky and drank a bottle of nutrient solution, Guzi directly lay down on the ground and fell asleep, while Iko pillowed her head on Guzi's thigh and fell into a deep sleep. In her dreams, there seemed to be a faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.
Looking at Yizi's expression, Eisendale revealed an envious look.
Ding Meng said, "Are you envious that they can sleep?
Us Origin Ability users don't need to rest? "
Eisendale shook her head and sighed. "Guzi is very good to Yizi. He lets his sister choose first and even lets her sleep. It's really enviable to have such a brother."
Ding Meng looked at her. "Don't you have any brothers?"
"I do!"
Eisendale shook her head. "But they're different from Guzi. My brothers never care about their family. They only care about their own power and interests."
This was a common problem in large families. It was enough to show that although Eisendale's status in the Rainbow Family was extraordinary, she didn't have a happy life. Thus, she often went out to train and explore.
"I'll rest for a while too!" Ding Meng had never been interested in these topics, so he simply sat down with his back against a pillar and closed his eyes.
This was his unique cultivation method. Eisendale was obviously good at it too. She also sat cross-legged beside Ding Meng and closed her eyes, entering her own space of consciousness.
Ever since she had become one with Ding Meng, she had gradually mastered the refinement of Shenguang Technology's energy. Absorbing this energy wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time. Especially on that crazy night, the two of them had done it many times. Ding Meng had injected a huge amount of Shenguang energy into her. Fortunately, she had also practiced a high-level smelting technique. If it had been someone else, their body would have exploded and they would have died.
However, just as the two of them were cultivating alone, Guzi and Yizi, who were in the middle of the open space, suddenly woke up. The siblings shot up as if they had been shot by an arrow.
Ding Meng slowly opened his eyes. "What's wrong?"
Eisendale was also startled. She found that the siblings' foreheads were full of sweat.
"Sister, I'm a little scared!" Yizi's expression was very frightened.
"Don't be scared. What's wrong?" Eisendale got up and stroked her head.
Yizi said timidly, "I just had a nightmare."
Guzi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "That's weird. I just had a nightmare too!"
Ding Meng frowned. "What nightmare?"
Guzi looked confused. "In my dream, I found that we were still here. I could even see that we were sleeping. Ding Meng, you and my sister were meditating."
Ding Meng said, "Are you two too tired?"
Yizi suddenly said, "Huh?
Guzi, why is your dream the same as mine? "
Gu Zi was startled. "Did you see something?"
Yizi suddenly pointed to a hole in the west wall. "I just saw that there was someone there, and they were calling my name. That voice sounded like Grandpa's voice."
Once she said that, Guzi suddenly looked shocked. "I saw it too, but I think I heard Grandma's voice."
Ding Meng and Eisendale looked at each other. They had already sensed that something was wrong. It was reasonable to say that dreams were normal, but how could two people have the same dream?
Ding Meng secretly spread his telekinesis, and the force field immediately spread to the inside of the tunnel in all directions. Unfortunately, there was no abnormality in his telekinesis vision.
If there was really someone doing this, then this person was too scary. Even telekinesis vision could not detect him. What kind of magic was this?
"What else did you see?" Eisendale asked again.
Yizo revealed a panicked expression. "I just walked down that way and suddenly saw a ghost face. I was scared awake."
Ding Meng looked at Guzi. "Were you like that too?"
Guzi nodded in horror. "Exactly the same. I've never seen such a scary face, so I woke up too. When I woke up, I realized that it was a dream."
I'm afraid you weren't dreaming!
Ding Meng swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He was afraid of scaring the siblings. Although Gu Zi and Yi Zi had seen many hideous world devouring monsters in the polluted area, they were still ordinary humans after all. Their psychological endurance was limited. However, to be able to scare them, it was enough to show how terrifying the ghost face was.
Ding Meng and Eisendale could not help but exchange a look, which meant that something was wrong. They were awake just now, and there was no abnormality in their perception, but the siblings had the same dream.
To put it simply, a dream was a kind of nerve impulse signal generated by the brain. It was also a kind of brainwave. The siblings had the same dream, which meant that their brainwaves were being guided or manipulated by someone. Ding Meng and Eisendale were both high-level Origin Ability users. Their brains were stable and their minds were stronger than ordinary people's, so it was normal that they could not sense it.
Eisendale said, "Why don't we take a break too?"
Ding Meng understood what she meant. They should stop using their Origin Ability, withdraw their telekinesis, and enter the dream to see if they can have the same dream.
"Okay!" Ding Meng answered.
"But I need to borrow your leg!" Eisendale said.
Ding Meng was stunned. "Why?"
Eisendale glanced at him. "I also want to try sleeping on your leg. It's much more comfortable than lying on the stone floor."
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "Okay!"
