Chapter 575 Strange Dream
Then, Tian Wanghai told about his experience of meeting Shadow.

"I underestimated the enemy," he said. "When the White Night just started, they told me about the shadow and asked me to go back to the settlement to sleep at night and not stay out alone. I agreed verbally, but I didn't take it seriously in my heart. I thought the shadow was probably just some kind of monster."

"But I still followed the advice of the Feather Tribe and went out during the day and slept in their settlement at night."

"But before the 16th white night arrived, I suddenly found that some grass leaves were glowing, and other grasses seemed to be dull. I knew it was probably because there was no night, so I found a way to build a shed and cover it with something. After all this trouble, by the time I realized what time it was, it was already late at night."

"At that time, there was only one corner left before all the grass was covered. I looked around and felt that there was no danger. Anyway, it would be done in a short while, so I would go back after that."

“Then, I saw the shadow.”

"I only realized that after I was rescued. At the time, I just thought it was my own shadow, although it was a bit strange, as if it was stacked one layer on top of another. I thought it might be because the lighting during the day was different from that on ordinary days..."

"Because the power of the secret spell has faded." Yu Chen interjected.

"Yes, that's right, but I didn't realize it at the time. Maybe the moment I saw the shadow, I was already influenced by it and lost my judgment."

"I tried to use magic to cover the last corner. But the magic kept going wrong, and then I got anxious, and then I made more mistakes, and the place that was originally covered was also pulled away."

"I kept walking around, trying different methods... and then I suddenly realized something was wrong, so I stopped."

"I sat down and tried to think it over. Then I lowered my head and saw the shadow slowly moving. Most of it had already crawled onto my body. Only then did I feel my body was numb and cold, as if it was wrapped in a wet cloth, which was getting tighter and tighter."

"I still had a little clarity of mind at the time, so I used all the magic I had learned and smashed it on the shadow. I don't know which spell worked, but the shadow loosened its grip for a moment, and just when I was about to escape..."

"The shadow suddenly broke apart, and countless huge monsters wrapped in black flames emerged from the shadow, roaring and covering the sky and the sun."

"At this point I was completely engulfed in shadow."

"Just as the black flames were coming towards me, I heard rapid thumping sounds, and then the bodies of the giant beasts began to dissipate. I was able to control my body again, and I saw many Feather Tribe members. They stood in a circle around me, chanting secret spells and hitting the ground with sticks."

"The thumping sounds were made by sticks hitting the ground. They had a strange rhythm, and the shadows kept disappearing with that rhythm."

"I couldn't speak at that time, and my body was still numb. After the shadow completely dissipated, they took me back to the settlement, rubbed some kind of ointment all over my body, and gave me some kind of tea to drink."

"The next day, when I woke up, I was completely well again. I then realized that the Feather Tribe members came to look for me after they realized that I hadn't returned." Tian Wanghai had a look of fear on his face. He said, "After that, I didn't dare to stay outside during the White Night."

"Are the grasses okay?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's OK." Tian Wanghai said, "If it weren't for the influence of the White Night, it would be OK. It's just that I don't know when this White Night will end. I have to watch it every day and can't practice. If there is no White Night, I will watch it before it sprouts, and ask two feather tribes to help watch it later and remove the weeds. There won't be many insects."

As he spoke, he looked outside and said, "When will this white night end?"

Yu Chen said, "So you'd better wait until the night comes before taking action." Wen Guying said, "I'm very worried that this white night is related to the recent abnormality in Cangwu Wilderness. If that's the case, this white night will not end soon."

Jiang Mei said, "Last night, Gu Ying and I followed Chief Yu to visit the Xun Clan. On the way, we found shadows gathering. The accompanying wizard was about to chant a secret spell, so I asked him to wait for a while."

"Gu Ying and I observed carefully, tried some magic, and then asked the magician to chant the secret spell." As he said, he looked at Li Chuan, "The sound of the Tianyin pot may also be able to dispel the shadow."

Li Chuan had been in seclusion in Xuanshui Mountain for a year. He felt that he had reached the state of perfection in driving the Tianyin Pot. He said, "Let's try it tonight. If it works, I can keep rubbing the Tianyin Pot."

Yu Chen remembered how Li Chuan and Wu Kong controlled King Baoxing with the sound of pots and chanting in Sun Tianxi's house, and he said, "Maybe it's possible."

He added: "When you go out at night, call me."

"Of course." Li Chuan said. Then he asked Jiang Mei, "What did the Xun clan say?"

"Chief Yu said that during this night, many members of the Xun tribe had a strange dream."

"Moreover, the Xun tribe is the most powerful tribe among the half-demon tribes. This time we come here not for personal experience, but may need the cooperation of various tribes. So we must say hello to the Xun tribe and several other tribes." Jiang Mei said.

"Do we need to visit other tribes?" Li Chuan asked.

"We have to go. They may not know the meaning behind some phenomena, but they still have some records. This is very important to us." Jiang Mei said, "Especially the Ruiling tribe. Currently, there are only a hundred people in the Ruiling tribe, but they are responsible for the annual sacrificial activities."

Then he talked about the situation when he met with Clan Leader Xun, "Clan Leader Xun is very conservative, and it can be seen that he hates cultivators very much. If Clan Leader Yu hadn't taken us there, he would definitely not have met us."

"It was not until we told him about the various abnormalities of the half-demon people last year. It might be related to the person we are looking for, that he half-believed and half-doubted and told us all the details of the strange dream."

"I think he still doesn't believe it, but he does it just for the sake of Chief Yu's face." Wen Guying said.

"It's OK as long as we can save face," Jiang Mei said nonchalantly, "In the past between our two tribes, the cultivators used half-demons as materials for refining weapons and elixirs, and the half-demons captured the cultivators as slaves... Is this clear?"

"And the last time Chief Yu went to Xuanmen for help, didn't he also return empty-handed?"

"What on earth is this strange dream?" Li Chuan tried to bring the subject back.

Jiang Mei said: "Patriarch Xun said that the content of each of their dreams is different, but the background of the dreams seems to be the same era, ancient times, and the same place."

"What location?" Li Chuan asked
"The deepest part of the Cangwu wilderness."
