Ghoul, late youth form, Mortal Bone level, 6 stars…

Gold-piercing Mouse, peak youth form, Mortal Bone level, 4 stars…

Green Arrow Turtle, peak youth form, Mortal Bone level, 5 stars…

For two consecutive days, Ah Zhou entered high-intensity combat mode and its aura became more and more vigorous.

Bai Wushang also harvested a large number of gourmet cells because of this.

The next night, the man and two beasts who had finished their training found a base.

It was an abandoned tree hole with a diameter of about four meters, which could barely accommodate them.

Sitting cross-legged, Bai Wushang patted the Demon Ape’s arm and said with a smile, “Ah Zhou, if nothing unexpected happens, you can break through tomorrow. Aren’t you looking forward to it?”

“Roar!” The Demon Ape bulged its muscles and its two fists collided with each other. A faint excitement flashed in its eyes.

“Hmm… I’ve gained quite a lot these two days. 246 gourmet cells, and I’ve also caught the Red Mushroom Crab. I’ll sprint with all my strength tomorrow. It’ll be enough to catch up till the day when the Bloodline Fruit ripens…”

After finishing his daily dishes and sharing his supper, Bai Wushang suddenly felt sleepy.

He had been busy with all kinds of things in the past few days, but he didn’t have time to sleep. His body couldn’t bear to just meditate.

“Ah Zhou, I need to sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up in three or four hours. I’ll leave the night watch to you!”

The Demon Ape nodded and sat down by the entrance of the tree.

Its huge body had almost blocked the entrance of the tree, and only a mottled ray of moonlight could squeeze in.

With Ah Zhou’s protection and the simple security trap that he had set up, Bai Wushang kept his guard up while he fell asleep.

Beside him, Red Horse was lying on the ground, looking at Bai Wushang and the Demon Ape. Its expression never changed.

…

The night deepened.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired these few days, Bai Wushang quickly fell asleep.

In his daze, he seemed to hear a crisp sound. It was a very pleasant sound.

His originally tense mood suddenly relaxed.

In the next moment, Bai Wushang appeared in a beautiful and splendid world.

The blue sky, the white clouds, the green grass, the trickling transparent stream…

Everywhere was a picturesque scenery!

Bai Wushang greedily inhaled a mouthful of fresh air. He found a big tree and sat under the shade. He did not know where he found a book and began to read it carefully.

When he was tired of reading, he would raise his head and see flocks of cows and sheep, playful children and geese flying in the air. He would then reveal an exhilarated smile.

Eh? What was that?

Bai Wushang rubbed his eyes and was suddenly stunned.

On the grass not far away, there was a little rabbit jumping up and down and running directly in front of him.

The little rabbit was the size of a cat that was one or two months old. Its fur was snow-white and there was a crescent mark between its eyebrows. It was very cute.

It was not afraid of strangers at all. It circled around Bai Wushang, and it would make babbling sounds.

Bai Wushang looked at it in surprise. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the little rabbit was very anxious, as if it wanted to say something to him.

“I’m imagining things again. How can a rabbit talk?”

Bai Wushang laughed self-deprecatingly. He pushed the little rabbit away and was about to pick up the book again.

ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ

Milky Way shouted for a long time. When it saw that Bai Wushang ignored it, it was so angry that it puffed up its cheeks and bit on his arm.

“Ah!”

Bai Wushang was in pain. He frowned and stared at the teeth marks on his arm. Then he looked at the little rabbit’s big silver eyes and suddenly showed a puzzled look.

“So familiar, so familiar… What’s wrong with me?”

In the next moment, an inexplicable suppressed roar echoed in his ears, contradicting the beautiful scenery.

Bai Wushang tried his best to listen for a long time, but suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

“Hualala –”

The sky exploded like a heated beer bottle and the earth shook crazily. Everything turned into a vortex that devoured him.

“Hu… hu… hu…”

Bai Wushang woke up. His brain felt like it was being torn apart and his head was about to explode.

“What happened?”

He felt his body shaking violently, as if he was constantly moving. Sometimes he jumped, and sometimes he landed heavily on the ground. It was extremely bumpy.

When his stiff limbs gradually synchronized with his nerves and his blurred vision became clear, Bai Wushang was shocked to find that he was lying on the back of the Demon Ape!

“Oh ho, this kid actually woke up?”

A human man’s slightly frivolous voice sounded.

Bai Wushang immediately turned his head and squinted his eyes to scan his surroundings.

Night, moonlight, abandoned tree hole, Silver Leaf Forest…

These familiar fragments of the scene pulled his thoughts back to reality.

At this moment, Bai Wushang was being carried on the back of Ah Zhou. The human and beast were placed in a dim, translucent yellow barrier, constantly tossing and jumping around.

“I remember now. I was too sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while. Could it be that I was attacked while I was sleeping?”

Facing the unknown, Bai Wushang instinctively panicked.

It was obvious that he was in danger, and he couldn’t afford to be distracted.

Bai Wushang bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to calm down.

Then, his gaze locked onto a yellow object above his head.

It was a huge bell that was suspended five to six meters in the air. It looked like a temple bell and was entirely golden in color.

It had a pair of large white eyes and very small black pupils.

It did not have a nose, but it had a big mouth that was wide open. It was smiling mischievously as it raised its rose-red tongue.

“Little Bell Demon?!”

Bai Wushang’s spirit was shaken.

[Name]: Little Bell Demon (contract)

“This is a rare ghost-type species. There were rumors that it might be extinct. I didn’t expect there to be another one in the trial ground.”

Bai Wushang muttered to himself as a chill ran down his spine.

“No wonder I slept so deeply just now. I even had a strange dream. It turns out that I was affected by its ‘Hypnotic Bell’…”

“If not for the telepathic connection with Milky Way which reminded me at the crucial moment, I’m afraid I would have woken up a little later!”

Turning his gaze once more, Bai Wushang looked around and thought to himself:

“This light yellow barrier should be another of its skills, ‘Vibrating Bell’. It can seal off a certain area and restrict the enemy from escaping. This is troublesome!”

Outside the barrier, two men in black stood side by side with mocking smiles on their faces.

One of them put his hands in his trouser pocket and calmly said, “An autonomous awakener does have some advantages. It’s not strange for him to be able to break out of the dream realm by relying on his deeper soul power. However, we have already trapped him. It’s only a matter of time before he loses.”

The other man crossed his arms in front of his chest and arrogantly replied, “Tch, I thought he was so powerful. Didn’t he still have to kneel down when he met us? How boring~!”

As he said that, he glanced at the purple-robed little guy by his feet and said lazily, “Little Brittle Bones, work harder. Kill them as soon as possible, and we can go back to sleep earlier!”
