Alien Dust

Chapter 276 Rainy Land
Sleeping Cliff is like the lowest point on the edge of the wasteland. All lost people will eventually arrive here like water.

When Wu Hen and the other four woke up and left, there were still some lost people who slowly floated into the Sleeping Cliff. At the same time, they would be received by an ancient dream demon who would weave a beautiful dream for them.

Wu Hen opened his spiritual vision and saw the ancient dream monsters in the Sleeping Cliff flying slowly. They were like birds on the cliffs and butterflies in the flowers. Their graceful bodies, as soft as shadows and water, always lingered around the lost people.

"Goodbye, my guest." A gentle voice came, it was "Yu Yu's voice."

Wu Hen looked back and saw an ancient dream demon that looked like a young girl, gently swinging its cotton-like tail.

"I'll give you a five-star rating." Wu Hen also smiled and waved.

What a lovely elf! If everyone in the alien wasteland was so friendly and gentle to life, how could so many people be lost in desperate situations?

……

After flying out of the Sleeping Cliff, a rain curtain appeared in front of us.

The rain was like the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, and the wind was relatively gentle. The grass and trees on the ground had little vitality. They were not bent by the rain, but instead stretched out their leaf necks one by one.

There was a beautiful haziness between heaven and earth. I couldn't see any very distant scenes, and I didn't know whether they were mountains or plains in the distance. However, the rain curtain was also pure and clear nearby, and I wouldn't be at a loss as to the way forward.

"It's been a long time since I felt the breath of the wilderness moistened by rain." Luo Yuying said with a smile on her face.

Chigang is a bitterly cold place, and even the islands on the Chiping surface do not feel any signs of life.

When people stay in a depressing environment for a long time, even if they just walk into a forest and feel the oxygen-rich wind on the mountains, they will secrete a large amount of dopamine. What's more, what they have experienced before was a test box made of high-dimensional insects, which is no less than escaping from a heavily guarded purgatory. When you taste the fragrance of the outside world, all the cells in your body seem to know that you are free and send a signal of pleasure.

As they walked, Wu Hen realized that his four classmates were like elementary school students going out for their first outing. They were still at an age where getting wet in the rain was a happy thing. They were having fun on the open ground covered with wet flowers, plants and trees...

Wu Hen is not as crazy as them.

He had a smile on his face and released his perception to his surroundings.

The nature of the alien wasteland is deceptive, so Wu Hen still maintains a sense of vigilance and suspicion.

This piece of land where drizzling rain is falling would be best if it were inhabited by a group of lovely creatures like the ancient dream demon of the Sleeping Cliff.

"Someone is coming."

Wu Hen heard the sound of horse hooves and pointed to the hazy rain curtain ahead.

"Human? That's great. I hope it's not an insect or an alien. I'm most afraid of that kind of thing." Tian Jiabao said.

A moment later, a group of horsemen wearing cloth helmets came running towards them.

The horses they rode were also covered in armor and carried a variety of refined weapons.

"A group of ancient people?" Wang Rui said with some surprise.

These people were dressed like ancient armies, with relatively uniform clothing, and were all equipped with armor and weapons.

"It's hard to say who is ancient." Wu Hen said.

The materials used in these people's clothes are all real, whether it is the leather for the saddles or the animal fur on their bodies. In fact, these clothes are all luxury goods in modern times. Ordinary people wear industrial textiles, which are disdained by some people who have long since no longer had to worry about basic needs.

Such a tall and majestic horse is a luxury.

Refined armor and clothes sewn by craftsmen are considered high-end formal wear.

Not to mention that each of them carried several kinds of weapons, the materials of which were obviously higher than the human smelting level and belonged to the level of space materials.

The problem is, for a technological civilization, the level of materials it smelts can indeed be used to judge the strength of a civilization, but what if technology is not what prospers in this place?
It's just like when human technology was at its peak, there was also a group of warriors, but the combined combat power of the warriors was not enough to overcome the power of a missile...

If this group of people's smelting technology is like that of the warriors in the technological civilization, the situation will be troublesome.

Wu Hen didn't say much.

He is now used to waiting and watching.

Instead of surrounding the five of them, the horsemen stopped in front of them.

"Can we catch the ancient dream demon?" asked a stern man in the lead.

The few of them just looked at each other, and the stern man immediately pulled out a whip and hit Wu Hen hard in front of him!
The grass and trees in front of him flew up into the air, and a deep whip mark appeared on the ground.

If the whip marks were on the body, it would not just be a simple case of torn skin and flesh, but the bones would be broken directly.

"Speak!" the stern man ordered.

"We...we were trapped by the dream demon and finally escaped." Wang Rui reacted quickly and answered immediately.

"Idiot!" The cold-blooded man swung the whip again. The whip exploded right next to Wang Rui's ears. Although it did not touch Wang Rui's ears, it was still quite terrifying!
Wang Rui reacted slowly and dodged to the side in fear.

"Lord Jiang, those dream demons are proficient in sorcery. Anyone who gets close to them and shows hostility will be hypnotized by them and fall into the dreams they weave. It is said that those dreams are extremely terrifying. For those with weak mentalities, it is like falling into hell and never waking up." A woman in a straw raincoat said in the team.

I don’t know what the woman’s straw raincoat is made of, but it does look a bit like the heroic spirit of a female knight.

"You have some brains since you were able to escape. I will forgive you for your dereliction of duty for now." Lord Jiang snorted coldly.

"It's getting late, let's go back to the mountain camp for now." said the woman in the straw raincoat.

"Bring the horses behind us and follow us back!" said Lord Jiang.

There were indeed a few horses at the back of the team.

Wu Hen and the others looked at each other, and did not dare to resist. They were urged to climb onto the war horses and were forcibly taken away.

……

Riding a horse in the wilderness, the rain hits you in the face, and the coolness comes with it.

Wu Hen and his four classmates were all wearing thin clothes, unlike the people in this team who were dressed warmly.

The inhabitants they awakened were not physically strong, and without any supernatural abilities, they did not dare to resist.

Fortunately, judging from the conversation just now, their lives will not be in danger for the time being.

"We seem to be in the same group with them." Wang Rui lowered his voice and discussed with Wu Hen.

"Yes, it should be little Karami." Wu Hen nodded, "However, it seems that we are not simply lost in there. Instead, we went to the Dream Cliff with a purpose to gather information and capture those ancient dream monsters. In the end, we didn't gather any information, didn't catch the dream monsters, and we were all lost in there..."

The edge of the wasteland is actually a maze, and it is very difficult to find the Sleeping Cliff in the edge of the wasteland.

Without the guidance of the Ancient Dream Demon, they would not have been able to leave the edge of the desolate wasteland so smoothly.

Sleeping Cliff is on the edge of desolation.

The rain-covered earth and the edge of the wasteland are vastly adjacent to each other. If you try to look for the Sleeping Cliff at the edge of the wasteland, you will most likely step into the depths of the wasteland and get lost in it.

"They are catching the ancient dream demon. Why are they catching this thing?" Wang Rui asked in confusion.

"Is there any need to ask? It's presented to the dignitaries here. The Ancient Dream Demon must be a very rare treasure in their world. Just think about it, some dignitaries enjoy the pleasure brought by their power during the day, and at night, they can let the Ancient Dream Demon weave a more indulgent dream for them. You can never imagine the happiness of the powerful!" Wu Hen said.

"That makes sense. Now that you say that, I want to catch a warm bed. It would be wonderful to have different dreams every day." Wang Rui said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We have to be conscientious. The ancient dream demon didn't make things difficult for us and even gave us the dream world Yuanyou. We can't be snake catchers." Wu Hen said.

"What is a snake catcher?" Wang Rui asked puzzled.

“Haven’t you heard the story of the Nine-Colored Deer? The Nine-Colored Deer saved a drowning snake catcher. After the snake catcher returned home safely, he heard that the king was hunting the Nine-Colored Deer to use as a medicine inducer and offered a large reward. The snake catcher then told the king which forest the Nine-Colored Deer was in, and the king sent troops to capture the Nine-Colored Deer…Is the ancient dream demon an evil spirit or a good spirit? According to them, they do not distinguish between good and evil, but from our point of view, they are still good spirits like the Nine-Colored Deer. All those who are lost in the wilderness are desperate. Even if their final fate is death, they can be considered as Bodhisattvas if they can immerse themselves in dreams before death.” Wu Hen said.

"Oh, you have learned a lot. You know the happiness of the powerful and understand the folk customs. If I were a woman, I would want to be your beloved servant, Lord Wu Hen." Wang Rui said with admiration.

"roll!"

Wu Hen had been observing and trying to listen to their conversation with his hearing.

Every awakening is a new challenge, and you need to use the shortest possible time to understand your situation, your identity, the dangers you will face, and how to gain benefits.

Wu Hen has not yet figured out what kind of power they control.

What's more, since I don't have any extraordinary abilities or magical powers, I need to be as low-key and restrained as possible. Even if I jump up and slap the arrogant Lord Jiang, and then retreat immediately, there will be no loss at all.

But the goddess Nuwa is also walking towards this world from the wilderness. It would be very useful to grasp as much information as possible here. There is no need to squander this opportunity to travel to another dimension.

"Eat, have you been hungry for a long time?" The woman in the straw raincoat was quite considerate of her subordinates. She threw a piece of smoked lamb leg to Wu Hen who was riding on a horse.

Wu Hen was indeed starving.

He divided the lamb leg into several portions and gave them to three female classmates and Wang Rui.

As if she had noticed Wu Hen's detail, the woman in the straw raincoat shook her head. She leaned forward slightly, and the black horse under her crotch also sped up. The rain passed over her body, outlining a handsome silhouette.

She knows me!

That's good.

It seems that we can get some information from this woman in the straw raincoat!
