Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 197 Meeting the Dream Reaper Again
As they come to the forward channel at the edge of the Sea of ​​Beings, Arka will enter the dreamland at night for a long time.

The main purpose is to observe whether there are dream bubbles of terrestrial creatures around, and to see if they can find islands similar to Shipwreck Island.

Shipwreck Island is the name they gave to the ship cemetery island at the gate of Home Sea.

Simple, straightforward and very fitting.

They wondered if they could meet such an island here.

But after sailing for several days, I didn't see it in my dreams, probably it was gone.

Alka sat in the observation room on the top of the main mast, propped up his arms, playing with the cards in his hands boredly.

Sitting next to her was a puppet girl. This puppet girl had pure black hair, was fully armed, and was dressed in pure black clothing. She even wore a mask on her face, revealing only a pair of black pupils.

Carrying a short bow on the back, the length of the short bow is very small, probably only suitable for her.

It looks more like a toy, but it was specially made by Alka. Although the arrows shot out are like thin needles, they have strong penetrating power.

Aiming at other parts of the body is okay, and the damage is small.

But once it hits something important, like the eye, it can be fatal.

Even a fine needle shot into the brain can cause death.

Arka originally wanted to equip her with a rock-shock gun, but found that shrinking the rock-shock gun to such a small form would be pointless.

The power of the bullets made is not as powerful as the piercing bows and arrows made by Alka.

There are also long thin needle blades pinned to the waist and thighs.

This is Doll Girl No. 1, a professional sentinel.

Since it is a puppet, there is no rest situation, and has been assisting everyone in the observation room to be vigilant.

At this time, the observation room is no longer as empty as before.

There are various items in it.

Most of them are their own things, which are convenient for them to pass some time while watching the security in the room.

For example, Pororo's fitness items, Julia's music scores, Xia Daiti's drawing board and brushes, some books and so on.

Footsteps came from behind.

Alka turned her head and saw that it was Julia who came up to change shifts, and she was still holding an unknown musical instrument.

"take a break."

Arka nodded, and jumped off the top after coming out, swinging along the cable directly to the second floor of the poop, and entered his room.

He fell on the bed and fell asleep directly.

To sink into one's own dreams in one's sleep.

In his dream bubble, Alka opened his eyes, but he didn't fall asleep immediately, but flew outside the bubble.

After inspecting the surroundings, it was confirmed that there were no dream creatures surrounding everyone's bubbles.

But it's not a solution to keep patrolling like this. Sometimes Alka has something to do outside, and the time to go to bed will be later, or even go back to bed during the day.

It’s okay on the way forward. Once we reach the boundless sea, it might not be as desolate as here.

Correspondingly, in the dream world, those monsters will also multiply.

At that time, he may not have so much time, and he may not have so many opportunities to clean up these monsters peeping into their dreams at any time.

Before going to the boundless sea, you have to come up with a solution.

While thinking, Alka's eyes lit up, because he discovered another dream creature.

Next to a black and white round ball of light and shadow, there is a black sickle floating.

This is exactly what happens when the Dream Reaper rests.

This is another dream god of death.

Alka has never simulated the Dream Reaper to fight. In addition to not encountering a suitable battle for the time being, another reason is that his observation of the Dream Reaper is still very one-sided.

Now that we have encountered another one, we must observe it carefully.

Alka quietly shrank behind a cloud of light gray mist, and gently wrapped herself in the pink mist.

Just like this, he started to observe blatantly, but suddenly he thought of something, and a fragment of a mirror appeared in his hand, wrapped in clouds and mist, and flew over.

It gently stuck to the side of the ball and disappeared.

This is a small object made by Alka combined with a characteristic of the mirror surface and the powerful effect of clouds and fog in dreams.

In addition to locating the God of Death in the dream, Alka could also observe his situation at any time.

This is something Alka has studied for a long time for his own simulation.

In this way, you can observe those rare dream monsters in the dream, and observe them more carefully anytime, anywhere.

This thing was born out of Alka's previous desire to locate the God of Death in the dream. Since they were always advancing outside, they left the area where the God of Death was located, making it impossible to go and observe even if they located it.

After positioning this time, you can still use the fragments of the mirror to observe. Because of the pink mist to wrap and hide, it is almost undetectable.

After coming to the outside dreamland recently, Alka discovered that the pink mist has a high priority in the dreamland, or it is a very powerful energy for the dreamland.

The performance in the dream is similar to universal energy, and Alka can use it to achieve many of his ideas.

In this way, Alka can observe the habits of this dream god of death anytime and anywhere, and it is best to be able to completely simulate the ability of the dream god of death.

After all, the creatures in the dream do not have the so-called physiological structure. After death, they will immediately dissipate into countless lights and shadows, and there is no possibility of dissection at all.

The best way to do that is to observe.

After marking, Alka's figure disappeared and entered Lucilia's dream world.

At this time, Lucilia was awake in the dream. Recently, every time Lucilia appeared in the dream, Alka had to go in and wake her up.

It was her own request.

At this time, Lucilia's dream has been changed beyond recognition, and it has become a variety of obstacles.

Alka got into the bubble of the dream and came to the safe platform above the dream. He didn't want to go down and get hit for no reason.

Although most of these obstacle organs were designed by him.

If you look at the obstacle mechanisms in the entire dream world on a large scale, you will find that this seems to be some kind of arcade-like breakthrough game.

Alka imitated these break-through games, designed these mechanisms, and designed them to be more anti-human.

Because anti-humanity is the purpose of these institutions.

The important thing is to let Lucilia get used to the body of the puppet, instead of letting the concept stay in the flesh and blood.

When dodging, it is best to be able to experience the strange effects that the puppet body can achieve.

These are Lucilia's efforts to create a fighting style suitable for puppets.

There was an explosion sound from below, and a dark figure was blown up and landed on the safety platform.

Lucilia was scorched all over, waved the cigarette ash in front of her, coughed, and a cloud of black mist was ejected from her mouth.

Afterwards, he tapped his own body and regained a new look.

After all, this is a dream, or her own dream.

"Arka? How did you get in here?"

"I met the god of death in my dream again outside. Do you want to go and observe together this time? Aren't you going to record it?"

Hearing this, Lucilia stood up directly, her eyes lit up: "No problem, let's go."

Lucilia was very interested in the Dream Reaper that Alka had recorded before, and especially told him to bring herself with him the next time he encountered the Dream Reaper.

So here comes Arka.

After speaking, he took Alka and flew into the sky. During the flight, Alka wrapped the two of them in clouds and mist, breaking through the bubble layer of the dream.

After coming to the outside world, Alka took Lucilia to the location where she was just now, hiding behind the clouds.

Lucilia looked at the sphere, and a book and brush appeared in her hand.

The reason why these things can appear outside of her dream bubble is because Alka simulated them for her with pink mist.

This is also what the pink mist can do in the dream world, but this function comes from the promotion of Alka to the second stage.

Writing and painting with this thing can't bring out the dream, but it can deepen Lucilia's memory in the dream, so that she can write clearly in the outside world.

Looking at the black and white sphere in the distance and the sickle surrounding it, he began to draw his shape.

While painting, he asked: "Is this what you said, the sphere he condensed when he was resting?"

Alka nodded.

Like voyeurs, the two secretly observed.

"What are those pink mist protruding from the sides? It doesn't seem to be the same as yours?"

After a while, Lucilia saw very light, very light pink mist particles flying out from both sides of the sphere. If you don't look carefully, they will be blurred by the surrounding light and shadow.

Alkawi squinted his eyes and looked carefully: "That should be the food he ate. This pink mist is usually the energy of dreams. I saw them eat like this last time."

"So the current situation is that he is already digesting his food or dream energy, and the powder that is exposed is the consumption he produced during digestion?"

"... Can't achieve perfect utilization?"

Lucilia muttered to herself and began to write in the notebook.

Not long after, Alka felt that the dream in the distance was wriggling: "Pay attention, something is coming."

Hearing this, Lucilia, who was observing, looked carefully.

It was a dream creature like a python, about two meters in length.

The shape is more like a snake-like shadow, and the appearance is pitch black, and there are no eyes or anything like that on the body.

It swims slowly in the world of dreams.

"It seems to be deliberately moving towards the black module that matches the color of his body, as if it can hide its figure?"

A never-before-seen dream creature, Lucilia turned the page and began to record.

"Is it trying to prey on the Dream Reaper?" Alka asked, observing more carefully.

The main reason is that this black shadow like a python is really behaving like a predator now.

Just like that, the black shadow-like python creature has reached the side of Death, about three meters away.

At this time, the black shadow of the boa constrictor has slowly leaned out of his body like a turtle, trying not to disturb the sleeping god of death in the dream.

Until it got close to a position of about two meters, the dream god of death woke up.

As if waking up, the sphere instantly turned into a humanoid creature wearing a light and shadow cloak.

Alka just observed very carefully.

It seems that when he was resting, there was a circle of detection fluctuations about two meters around the sphere, and the black shadow python touched the fluctuations when it was close to two meters away.

Tell Lucilia what she found, and ask her to write it down quickly.

Then came more exciting scenes.

The god of death in the dream held a black sickle in his hand, and went straight from the bottom to the top, hooking towards the black shadow python.

Seeing that his predation behavior was discovered, the black shadow's python was no longer cautious, and its body immediately swelled.

However, it was still only two meters long, but suddenly swelled in the upper 1/3 of the whole body, and the black shadow seemed to open a huge mouth.

Bite directly towards the god of death in the dream.

The boa constrictor that can sense this shadow is at least much stronger than the monster with eyes.

This protruding bite is extremely fast, avoiding the attack of the sickle, but biting towards the enemy instead.

When the dream god of death was about to be bitten, it turned into light and shadow and went directly behind the boa constrictor.

The eyes of Alka who had been watching were shining brightly.

For a way of action that has never been seen before, if you observe it for a while, you may be able to simulate it.

The pink mist and lenses attached to the Grim Reaper's body in the dream are also assisting Arka in making more detailed observations.

The God of Reaper in the dream behind him swung his sickle quickly, directly cutting through the back of the black shadow python, and a light and shadow fluid like ink flowed out, similar to the blood of the python.

The tail of the black and silver boa constrictor suddenly stretched out, and it lashed at the Death God in the dream like a long whip.

The corners of the cloak on the Dream Reaper's body curled up slightly to block this attack.

But the impact also caused the Dream Reaper to move a few meters to the side.

The figure of the boa constrictor crazily bends back straight, the speed is so fast that it seems to be twitching, like a slingshot, the figure is directly ejected 10 meters away.

Turning his head, his mouth opened wide again, and this time what he spit out was a black shadow ball.

It flew out with a long tail of light and shadow.

The Dream Reaper dodged left and right. There were too many shadow balls. He couldn't seem to find a chance to attack, and he couldn't move forward either.

I saw him raising his sickle, and after dodging another shadow ball, he directly threw his sickle out.

The sickle rotated, and the trail of light and shadow on the sickle directly formed a circle, flying past at an extremely fast speed.

This time the attack was so powerful that even the light and shadow cloak on the Dream Reaper's body became a bit dim, as if it had used too much energy.

This should be a special attack method.

The scythe shot out by the helix cut through the open mouth of the enemy, so fast that it was too late to dodge completely.

Fortunately, it didn't hurt its vitals, and the boa constrictor was not a vegetarian and dodged a section to the side.

However, the sickle that flew behind flew back again, and the return speed was faster, and the python did not expect it at all.

It directly penetrated the swollen front end of the boa constrictor, cut a huge gap, and returned to the hands of the dream god of death.

The body of the pierced boa constrictor seemed to be leaking air, and countless black shadows splashed in all directions.

As the fluid-like black shadow was ejected and merged into the surrounding environment, the black shadow's python body became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.

It seemed that the python was not included in the recipe of the God of Death in the dream. He just watched the python disappear from the side, until it disappeared completely, and then flew to the side with the sickle on his shoulder.

It seems that this battle didn't cost him too much thought.

After finding another corner, he curled up again into a black and white ball of cloud and mist, and took a rest.

Alka and the two watched secretly from the side to have a good time, but this time they collected too much information.

It is very in line with Alka's wishes. Now if he simulates the appearance of the dream god of death, he can also use the light and shadow cloak to help him block the damage.

It is also possible to throw out the sickle and retract it, but he has not finished observing the way of action that quickly becomes like light and shadow, and it seems that there are other points that he has not observed.

Such a way of action cannot be simulated, but anyway, the form of the dream god of death has been further improved.

Moreover, the strength of the Dream Reaper is stronger than Alka imagined, and the behavior of the Dream Reaper seems to be smarter.

The black shadow python Arka also simulated, but no matter which part of the simulation it corresponds to, it becomes a black shadow of the same shape.

Lucilia next to her was writing furiously on the booklet in her hand. She wanted to record all of these two dream creatures and include them in the monster illustrated book.

Alka turned her head and looked around, looking at the information in Lucilia's handbook.

According to the feelings obtained from my own simulation, I pointed out: "The body of the dream god of death does not look like his outside. Whether it is a weapon or a cloak of light and shadow, it all comes from a ball in the middle of the body, and the rest of the body is supplied by energy. part."

Speaking of which, a mirror surface appeared on Alka's face, and she performed a dream state of death for Lucia on the spot.

Lucilia nodded after observing for a while: "It's really a strange creature."

In analogy to the human form, it is equivalent to the head, the chest and even the legs are all supplying energy for the ball at the waist.

So that this ball can cover the whole body with a cloak of light and shadow, wrap and protect the whole body, and condense a black shadow sickle for attack.

And described to Lucilia the scene that Alka saw before in the dream of death preying.

Use the sickle to cut open some weaker dreams, and Bubble will inhale the pink dream energy exposed from the gap into his body.

Then the two waited in place for a while, making sure that the god of death in the dream was resting and not moving, and then returned to their respective dreams.
