Please ask the dream.

Chapter 152 This map is a bit complicated

Although the exploring "self" not only regarded this strange species as a wolf, but also talked about the meat yield rate without any hesitation, which gave a feeling of losing sanity, Feng Xue is now a man who has seen the world, and the mere retelling in words is not enough to shake his indestructible will.

After slightly doubting the world's definition of species, he continued reading -

[Although you have never heard of this kind of bird's call, you know very well that there should be no birds other than vultures and crows in this wilderness. And these two birds do not make such a clear call.]

[Following the bird's cry, you walked out of the cave. After searching for a while, you found a huge white bird surrounded by nine canaries of different colors (no need to argue: canaries are not only golden). It showed a human-like helpless expression when you approached it, and then it wrote a paragraph in front of you——]

[Since you can see through the fog, why bother looking for answers from me? ]

[Faced with this bird's riddle, you decide——]

[1. Who is looking for the answer from you? I just want to eat bird meat! ]

[2. Even gods are not omniscient. How do you know that the answer to what I am looking for has been found?]

[3. Stop talking nonsense and hand over your valuables! ]

"Oh, we can communicate normally? Oh, it's a bird, then it's okay." Feng Xue grinned, but at the same time he had a headache.

Every node in this exploration seemed very simple, even without any plot, but there seemed to be a sense of déjà vu. For example, the little boy in armor, the skeleton holding a sword, and the three thieves in the cave all seemed to represent something. In addition, there were the "Romka people" that even he, a Phantom Thief, had never heard of, and the half-wolf strange species described as wolves. He vaguely realized that this might be hinting at something.

Then, he recalled the time when he entered the dreamland before. It was hard to describe the feelings that seemed to contain information that went straight to the underlying logic of the mind.

"From the completion of the new exploration after entering the G·I particle sparse area, this exploration is likely to be a stand-alone version of the Fantasy Dreamland created by the Gold Finger through the limited G·I particles in this area. From this perspective, it is actually not much different from the previous exploration, except that one of the raw materials is the memory residue of the predecessor, and the other is the G·I particle residue in this area..."

Feng Xue tried to analyze all of this, but due to limited information, it was difficult to go deeper. However, he understood one thing -

The information that could leave traces in this sparsely populated forest is probably not simple.

Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help but think of the valley called "Bear Paw Nest" where the Beehive Prison was located. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the center was shaped like a giant bear's paw print. It didn't look like something formed naturally. In comparison, it looked more like...

"The landform of the strong."

Thinking of these four words, Feng Xue couldn't help but feel a little strange. Assuming that in the old days, there really existed a giant bear in this world that could create a deep valley with a slap, then the treasure hidden in the memory of this forest would probably not be simple.

And this big white bird with nine canaries and who can tell riddles is probably not a simple character!
As long as conditions permit, don't make an enemy of them!

With this thought in mind, Feng Xue decisively chose option 2. Although this choice of answering a riddle with a riddle did not seem very friendly, it was at least better than the other two suicidal options.

The consciousness pushed the option, and the picture changed. The big white bird showed a thoughtful look on its face. Then, it suddenly flapped its wings, and a gust of wind swept through. In this cutscene where the body could not be controlled, the white bird's figure suddenly rose up, and then a double voice that only bosses in animation works could have came from the sky - "Arrogant soul who rejected the guidance of the gods, I don't have the confidence to bear your doubts."

The voice fell, the picture froze again, and a line of text unfolded -

[The bird is afraid of what you seek and refuses to listen to your doubts, but as the price of violating his own principles, he leaves a gift for you.]

[You obtained a colorful metal plate (purple)]

Name: Colorful metal plate
Category: Smart Use of Collection

Effect: After showing it, any sentient creature will give you a favor.

Note: Why should I... even if you give me a gift... um, for the sake of this thing, but just this once!
……

"Ah this..."

Looking at this new collection, Feng Xue didn't know what to say for a moment. The function of this thing is indeed worthy of the purple color. It is not a consumable and has no limit on the number of uses. As long as it is shown, any intelligent creature will give it face. Although there is only one chance for each target, it is enough to do many things.

The only problem is...

"This thing is just 'face', not 'command', which means it has its limits. I can't let someone commit suicide just for face. At most, they can let me go, but only once. It might be more useful in simulations."

Feng Xue muttered to himself and returned to the node selection. Sure enough, all the related nodes had turned into [Dangerous Road and Evil Enemies].

"Tsk, looks like I have to choose my targets carefully next time I explore." Feng Xue sighed and chose the dangerous enemy farthest away. Although the one nearby might be "relatively weaker", considering that he has powerful weapons like the Big Pigeon and the Holy Grenade, it should not be a problem to penetrate it if it's just one time.

In this case, instead of breaking through a nearby node, it is better to directly hit the final node to test whether this debuff will be refreshed after entering the next level.

The sight passed through the long path and arrived at the nodes on the fifth or sixth floor. As the nodes spread, a picture of the wilderness unfolded layer by layer in front of Feng Xue.

[After overcoming numerous obstacles, refusing all communication, and even ignoring the guidance of the gods, you finally arrived at the [Promised Land] under the guidance of your own will. However, in front of this cave that you don’t know whether it leads to heaven or hell, an unprecedented sense of crisis is stimulating your keen perception. You know that the final test to get out of this wilderness has begun.]

The line of text seemed to be able to sense Feng Xue's reading. The moment he read the last word, it disappeared without a trace, leaving only the wilderness covered with weeds.

Well, there is also a small hill and a cave of unknown depth, from which one can faintly hear the sound of wind.

"Why is there a cave again? Are there so many caves in the Gobi Desert? Or do caves have some special meaning for this forest dreamland?"
