Qin Ze had a very long dream.
In the dream, the family was reunited, there were no strange beasts, no evil gods, and life was plain and simple.
He wanted to keep dreaming this dream until...
"Wake up~"
Qin Ze slowly opened his eyes, and Miss Jian Xia was still calling softly in his ear.
"Wake up quickly, it's dawn."
Qin Ze sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He hadn't slept so deeply for a long time.
The villagers around him also woke up one after another and went back to their homes with blankets.
The so-called bonfire party turned out to be just everyone gathering together to sing and sleep.
"So tired..."
Qin Ze moved his neck.
Although he had slept all night, he still felt a sense of exhaustion from his soul.
Miss Jian Xia whispered: "Last night in my dream, something quietly stole your soul power."
Qin Ze frowned immediately.
BIG courage!
You even dare to touch this leader!
He immediately looked inside himself to check his spirit.
As Miss Jian Xia said, his soul power was indeed less.
Miss Jian Xia continued, "It's not just you. A small part of the soul power of all the people present was stolen in the dream."
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "Including Wu?"
Miss Jian Xia replied, "Including Wu, he also fell asleep, but he was the last to fall asleep."
The song was indeed strange.
He fell asleep uncontrollably last night.
Although he was very tired after waking up, he subconsciously wanted to do it again.
Not for anything else, just for that sweet dream.
Fortunately, Qin Ze is not an ordinary person, and his dependence on dreams is not that deep, but if he comes a few more times, it may be.
"Did you notice where everyone's lost soul power went?"
"It went to the forest in the east and disappeared in the depths of the forest."
Qin Ze looked over.
He vaguely remembered that he saw a tall tower in that direction last night, but now there is nothing in the same position.
"Did you see the tower in the forest last night?"
"Nothing."
Qin Ze muttered to himself: "Am I the only one who can see it..."
The long-armed man beside him got up wrapped in a blanket and greeted Qin Ze: "Did you sleep well?"
Qin Ze smiled: "I've never had such a good sleep. I'm really tired from bumping around in the abyss these days."
"Is there a bonfire party tonight?"
The long-armed man nodded: "Every night."
What a vampire.
Qin Ze was sure that it was the "god" in the witch's mouth who did it.
Only gods can have such mysterious means.
However, Qin Ze did not find the pollution in the villagers' spiritual sea of consciousness, and everyone was not a fanatic.
This was the first time he had seen an evil god who did not harvest faith but sucked soul power.
"I want to go to the forest to hunt and make a blanket so that I can sleep more comfortably at night."
The long-armed man heard this and said, "Don't go east. It's not safe there even during the day."
"Also, you must return to the village before dusk. Don't stay in the forest at night."
Qin Ze was curious: "What will happen if you stay in the forest?"
The long-armed man showed a horrified expression on his face: "Someone once ignored the witch's warning, left the village at night, and never came back."
"That night, the screams in the forest lasted for a long time."
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows.
Didn't you say that the world is safe?
It seems that it is not so absolute.
"I remember."
"Come back before dusk."
Qin Ze said goodbye to the long-armed man, carried Miss Jian Xia on his back and left the village.
The villagers were already working in the fields, and the children were playing barefoot in the stream, all peaceful.
Miss Jian Xia said, "After you fell asleep last night, the forest seemed to come alive."
The forest came alive, what a horror story.
Miss Jianxia continued: "There is a force in the forest that wants to invade the village, but it was stopped by the guy who stole your soul power."
From what Miss Jianxia said, it seems that there are two different forces competing in this world.
They are separated by dusk.
During the day, the village has the upper hand, and the villagers can enter and exit the forest freely.
At night, the forest is the main field, and only a small area of the village is safe.
Miss Jianxia blamed herself a little: "In fact, I could stop it from stealing your soul power last night, but I don't know its specific methods. I am worried that it will forcibly tear your soul after it detects my existence."
Qin Ze thought that Miss Jianxia is an expert in dreams.
"Daydreaming" can easily interfere with anyone's dreams.
Qin Ze comforted: "It doesn't matter, you actually did a great job last night."
"You are my trump card. Don't expose it until the critical moment."
Hearing Qin Ze's praise, Miss Jianxia was very happy.
After entering the forest, Qin Ze immediately released a group of clones, and at the same time told everyone in the local area network:"Go east, and don't come back at night."
He wanted to use his clones to verify what dangers there were in the forest at night.
He would find the tower by the way.
Qin Ze was sure that it was not an illusion last night, and he did see the tower.
"Great! The area ahead can finally be explored!"
"Are there any teams? No self-destruction teams."
"Ungrateful bastards, you think we are weak now."
"Open up the wasteland, brothers!"
"..."
The clones cheered and scattered, disappearing in the forest.
Qin Ze casually strolled around and hunted a deer that bumped into him.
There was nothing unusual in the forest during the day, it was just an ordinary forest.
Looking up at the blue sky, Qin Ze stepped into the air.
The greening of this world is a bit too good, and everything is green.
Even if he flew to the edge of the sky, he couldn't see the end of the forest.
The village was like an isolated island in the green ocean. Qin Ze, who was looking down from a high place, could only see a tiny dot.
"The forest is more like a villain."
"The village that stole the soul power of the villagers has become a protective umbrella."
"How did the natives of this world disappear?"
Qin Ze did not walk too far and returned to the village before dusk. Smoke came out of the chimneys of every household.
After returning to the house, he checked what the clones had seen and heard, but there was nothing useful.
"We still have to wait until night."
A child passed by the window with a pot of flowers in his arms, and Qin Ze called him.
"Where did the flowers come from?"
The child stopped: "It grew in the forest."
Qin Ze took out a deer leg: "I'll exchange this with you."
The child happily took the meat: "I'll give you the pot as well. I dug it by the stream."
Qin Ze put the pot on the table and noticed a few lines of small words on the surface.
Miss Jianxia asked expectantly: "Can I water it?"
Qin Ze nodded: "Of course, it's for you."
Miss Jianxia couldn't wait to take out the water-attributed flying sword: "You are really my best friend."
Swish--
As a stream of clear water flowed out of the sword, the flower became more stunning.
Without disturbing Miss Jianxia's interest, Qin Ze prepared to wait until she finished watering before checking the flowerpot.
Since it was dug out, the flowerpot was most likely something of the indigenous people.
"Why is it so itchy?"
Qin Ze scratched his face, but the more he scratched, the more itchy it became.
Miss Jianxia turned around when she heard the sound, and was so scared that she almost threw the flying sword away.
"Ah!"
"Qin Ze, you have eyes on your face!"
