Dream Picking Records

Luankong City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Yang Gang, along with a few of his confidants and Zhao Xiancheng, stood on both sides, waiting to take credit from Yan Leiming.

A breeze blew past the window, and Yan Leiming appeared in the study.

Yang Gang knelt on one knee first and said in a flattering voice: "Your Highness, tonight I led my men to not only kill some of the Skeleton Tribe members who escaped during the day, but also successfully blocked the person who issued the bounty."

Yan Leiming opened his eyes upon hearing this and examined Yang Gang and his words.

"Oh? What do you mean by successfully blocking it? That means you didn't catch it."

Yang Gang felt uncomfortable under his burning gaze, and bowed his head and clasped his fists to explain: "Please forgive me, City Lord. I could have captured him, but Captain Zhao Xiancheng suddenly made a move at the last moment, allowing the thief to escape into the peach blossom forest."

"Snapped!"

The newly replaced desk was turned into powder again.

"What? He escaped into the peach blossom forest?" Yan Leiming's divine light surged, and his whole body was filled with agitated spiritual energy.

"Go into the peach forest immediately. If you can't find him, come back to me with your head."

"But……"

Yang Gang wanted to refute, but he was so taken aback by the murderous aura emanating from Yan Leiming that he broke out in a cold sweat and his limbs and chest were shaking. Zhao Xiancheng, who was still trying to explain, quickly shut up.

"No buts. I'll give you two choices. Either you lead people to look for him, or you do what you are doing now... die!"

As the word "death" came out of his mouth, a strange symbol appeared on the forehead of everyone in the room. They collapsed on the ground in despair, only realizing that life no longer belonged to them.

On the other side, in the peach blossom forest.

Wang Xiao and Ji De stood side by side. The fog did not affect the vision of the people in the forest. The entire woodland was full of identical peach trees, emitting a refreshing fragrance under the clear moonlight.

Wang Xiao released his spirit and found that this place was like a copy and paste of a peach tree, with no flaws to be observed. After a while, he felt dizzy and mentally exhausted, and his soul seemed to be leaving his body, so he had to quickly retract it.

"You said there is an opportunity for you here. I guess you have made sufficient preparations and are quite familiar with this place, right?"

Facing Wang Xiao's question, Ji De patted his chest confidently and said, "Brother Dao, rest assured. I promise to take you out safely."

"Then I'll give you one point here."

"What do you mean, brother?"

"Give you good deeds, go quickly."

Wang Xiao followed behind Ji De, using the Concentration Chapter to relax his mind and pay close attention to everything around him. They walked for a day and a night plus several hours, until the sun shone through the mist and fell into the forest, reminding the two that it was daybreak again.

"Ahem, how long will it take us to get out of this forest?"

"It's almost there, don't worry, brother. This forest has been set up with formations by a master. The key is that it is much larger than what the naked eye sees."

Jide fiddled with the compass in his hand, muttering to himself, and followed the pointer's instructions, turning left, then right, turning back and forth.

Another two hours passed, and Ji De stopped walking, his brows twisted into knots. He squatted on the ground and calmed down for a while, then activated the compass again. The compass needle pointed east and north, constantly changing direction, just like his heart thumping without stopping. He grabbed his hair in confusion, muttering "this is not right" and "this shouldn't be like this".

"It seems that you have to deduct one point from me."

Wang Xiao was not anxious. After observing for so long, he finally noticed a familiar fluctuation when the compass needle moved around. That was the power of space. No wonder Ji De couldn't find the right path after calculating for so long.

The compass needle stabilized, and Ji De slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly, saying excitedly: "I am definitely right this time, it is this direction!"

"That's right, I finally found you."

Yang Gang leaned on his weapon, the Wolf-Sheep Club, with a fierce look in his eyes and a scarlet tongue sticking out. This time, without interference from others, he could let go and take down the two men.

Knowing the horror of the peach forest, he did not dare to release his spiritual energy to harm the peach trees. He exerted force on his feet and moved away from the two people with the stick. Yes, away from them. He tried to run towards Wang Xiao, but found helplessly that he was getting farther and farther away from the two people.

It was no use for him to roar and rage.

This scene made Wang Xiao even more convinced that it was indeed the power of space that was having an impact.

Seeing this scene, Ji De hesitated and glanced at Wang Xiao.

"How about I calculate it again?"

"No need, go this way." The flower of space flashed by, and Wang Xiao pointed to a place according to the direction he had previously deduced.

"This is what you pointed out. If you're wrong, you can't deduct points from me."

Ji De blinked his eyes, which made Wang Xiao almost slap him.

After walking for a while, Wang Xiao signaled to stop and asked Ji De to calculate again, and then he chose the direction according to his calculation. Unknowingly, the two of them had been groping in the peach forest for another two hours.

Suddenly, a man's desperate cry was heard from the front.

“Second brother, please kill me. I don’t want to suffer in this peach forest anymore. I’ve been given the death mark anyway. Rather than living a miserable life, I’d rather die in your hands!”

The team leader and the armored man wandered around for a long time without finding the direction, and Yan Leiming planted a death mark on them, which tortured them physically and mentally. The armored man was also annoyed and kicked the team leader over.

"You idiot, go and mess with the peach tree if you want to die, don't pollute my eyes."

"It's really a relief for them that they can't do it themselves."

The team leader's injuries were only half healed. He felt pain in his left abdomen and back of his neck from time to time. Thinking of the legend of the peach tree, he fell silent, climbed up and followed the armored man closely. They and Zhao Xiancheng were separated because they didn't keep up because of carelessness.

"It's them again."

Wang Xiao and Ji De hid behind the peach tree and heard their conversation.

He observed the spatial direction of the area and made a bold decision.

"You stay here first, I'll be back soon."

Ji De guessed his thoughts and tried to persuade him. He could feel that Wang Xiao was very strong, but there was a person at the sixth level of Guiyuan opposite him.

"You're taking a risk. They'll die here if they can't get out."

"It doesn't matter. If I can't hit you with one strike, I will flee far away."

Seeing that he was determined, Ji De couldn't stop him and took out a amulet and handed it to him.

"This is what my master gave me."

Wang Xiao nodded and took it, then restrained all his energy and took every step carefully, until he was three meters close to the two men without being noticed. The golden spear was shot, as fast as lightning, and at the critical moment, the armored man deflected his body in the nick of time, and the golden spear only pierced his shoulder.

Wang Xiao sighed lightly, thinking that he had wasted a great opportunity. Even though he couldn't release his spirit, the opponent still reacted with his fighting instinct.

He didn't want to fight, so he drew his gun, shot the squad leader in the chest, and then retreated, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The armored man was on high alert, looking around with a frown and then angry. He clearly sensed a familiar aura, but didn't see anyone. He put his hand on his shoulder to suppress the injury, turned around and left in a hurry, ignoring the captain who had fainted beside him.

The captain's blood stained the ground red, and all the bones in his upper body were broken by the force of the golden spear. The mark between his eyebrows glowed, causing him to twitch unconsciously.

Returning to Jide, Jide opened his mouth wide and gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing of peace. The one point deducted will make up for it."
