Chapter 821: Chapter 484 The Target is Me

Li Changhe had always been a physically robust player; his body’s strength was immense. Even if he didn’t sleep for two or three days, it wouldn’t greatly affect him.

He had intended to rest with his eyes closed before, especially since the Safe Zone’s special state didn’t allow him to rest properly. Should a Terror Devil attack the city, he would have to make an appearance in due time.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he unexpectedly entered a deep sleep.

Then, in his blurred vision, he saw the figure of Xiao Nan approaching him in the darkness, her inviting cherry-colored lips opening and closing as if uttering sweet nothings.

For a moment, Li Changhe thought this might be the start of a sensual dream.

And Xiao Nan had not had the leisure to rest during this time. She had either been patrolling the Safe Zone or resisting attacks from the Terror Devils.

Her body was already exceedingly exhausted, and she had consumed several types of stimulants.

When she leaned on Li Changhe, the relaxed and comforting sensation quickly brought her into a state of sleep.

As a Holder, only in his embrace could she rest peacefully. The indulgent warmth reassured and captivated her.

Strangely, once she fell asleep, she entered an eerie nightmare.

She felt as though she was continuously falling, as if an arm was grasping her ankle, intending to drag her into the abyss.

She even saw distant figures ensnared by dark shadows extending tendrils around them.

The bizarre imagery immediately led Xiao Nan to identify the being with such distinctive abilities in her mind: "The Dreamer?"

The abnormality, the Dreamer.

It would render targets within a certain range into a forced sleep and drag them into dreams to kill them. To kill invisibly—that is the hallmark of a top assassin! To slay in dreams, even Prime Minister Cao would have to admit expertise.

Unexpectedly, such an oddity existed among the Terror Devils.

This Abnormality had special abilities. It posed a great threat to non-players with low energy levels. However, players still had ways to deal with it.

Especially high-energy players could resist its forced sleep effect and even fight the creature in the Dream.

And Xiao Nan, perhaps due to her Divinity, maintained clear thoughts even within the Dream.

"If the Dreamer works with other Terror Devils, then there’s likely already trouble outside," thought Xiao Nan, her heart tightening. Once she realized the Dreamer’s abilities were at play, she sensed that things outside probably weren’t good. The Safe Zone’s Defense Power had diminished greatly as people succumbed to sleep. At this time, if a Terror Devil attacked, the Safe Zone would be indefensible.

She now had two choices: one, to instantly break free from the nightmare and resist the approaching Terror Devils outside.

Two, to attempt killing the Terror Devil within this eerie Dream, thereby awakening everyone.

Then, she saw the blurry figure of Li Changhe not far from her.

Her heart eased, and she used her ability to break free from the tendrils and approached him.

However, as soon as she got close, she found herself enveloped in Li Changhe’s embrace, struggling to get free from his engulfing maw. She managed to say, "Let Chen Yu come in and help me..."

The next moment, the real Li Changhe gasped and opened his eyes.

After all, no matter how strong his Physique was, it still hurt when he bit his tongue.

After he regained clarity of thought, he had somewhat grasped the current situation. From the pain on his tongue, it appeared that the dream was no illusion.

Now it was clear; the Safe Zone was evidently under the influence of some Terror Devil’s abilities.

He and the girl had been affected without realizing it, and it was likely the same for the others. He estimated that a large number of them had already fallen outside.

And the girl in his arms had not woken up yet, which suggested she planned to do something within the Dream.

The real world... let Li Changhe deal with it!

Despite some communication obstacles, the tacit understanding between the two needed no explanation.

So, Li Changhe immediately got up, took out Big Lead, and performed ’Causal Severance’ in response. Old Lead didn’t know if the enemy had been severely injured, as there was no progress in the counter, but at least Li Changhe was no longer feeling sleepy.

He casually threw a trench coat over Chen Yu, who had burst through the door.

Probably because of the urgency, she was just wearing an oversized T-shirt. The loose clothing, sticking to her skin with sweat, outlined her striking curves, and the hem of the T-shirt even revealed her fair, long legs.

Fortunately, the people outside had already collapsed in droves; otherwise, Chen Yu’s overly breezy attire would have had the corridor covered in their nosebleeds.

"Put it on! You don’t need any Terror Devil with the way you’re dressed, they’d all bleed out directly!" Li Changhe suddenly understood why the girl was so upset.

"Take it as a compliment... Since she hasn’t come out, I should enter the dream too," said Chen Yu, who wasn’t shy. She knew Li Changhe was just nagging a bit and wouldn’t take advantage of her. So, after putting on the trench coat, briefly covering her thighs, she leaned back on the couch, closed her eyes, and entered a sleeping state. Faster than taking sleeping pills.

She had already guessed Xiao Nan’s thoughts. Being a holder of the Nightmare Sequence, she would be the main force against the Dreamer. There was no time to delay.

"Brother Ting, I entrust them to you. If necessary..."

"If necessary, I’ll switch to Knight Rank heroic spirit."

As a magic array lit up, Sword Rank heroic spirit Yun Ting was summoned.

She would guard the two who had entered the dream in this room.

Their words were cryptic, yet what they meant was... If it really came down to the wire, Yun Ting would transform into a Knight Rank heroic spirit, using her superior mobility to carry the two away from the scene.

"As for the external defense, leave it to me!"

Li Changhe responded and left the room. His pajamas had already transformed into the fierce and imposing Mountain Pattern Armor. Blue flames engulfed the surroundings.

...

Meanwhile, in a ruin hundreds of meters away, the hidden Dreamer was covered in wounds.

Ice spikes even protruded from the wounds.

"I can’t hold out for long, at most ten minutes. Whether or not you can breach the Safe Zone, I will release the dream!" The Dreamer was a thin humanoid creature dressed in a black robe.

At the moment, he was already coming to grips with the resisters in the dream. Even on his home turf, he was having a hard time coping.

"That’s enough, there are fewer than ten awake humans left in the Safe Zone. We will break through soon." The Duke responded, then waved his hand and ordered, "Launch the attack! Let’s see if that strategist falters!"

In the darkness, countless Terror Devils growled and roared, pairs of bloodthirsty red eyes shining.

Elsewhere, Li Changhe had already mounted the Black Great Wall.

The condition inside the Safe Zone was terrible; all non-player personnel had been dragged into the dream.

Apart from the three players maintaining the Black Great Wall, only seven players including Li Changhe were able to fight.

Moreover, Li Changhe’s panel status was not at its peak.

At the moment, Li Changhe’s Title Skill was [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers], and it would be several hours before he could switch to [Hundred-Headed Shooter].

During this period, he would be unable to unleash high damage from afar.

Otherwise, no matter how many Terror Devils there were, they would struggle to break through the bombardment of the Hundred-Headed Shooter.

"They really picked a good timing, Dream Cruise’s support is on a cooldown for half an hour. And my shooter hundred heads is cooling down too. If all this is no coincidence..." Li Changhe watched the approaching horde of Terror Devils, and snorted coldly, "Are they targeting me?"
