It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

"That makes sense. So how do I get out of this dream?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"As long as you kill the beast, you will automatically be freed from the dream."

"What if he didn't kill her?"

he asked again.

"Then you will have to wander in dreams forever and dance with wild beasts."

Amelia said calmly.

"Is there no other way?"

Liu Zheng asked unwillingly.

"If someone hits the cage hard, they can wake you up. But if that happens, your mind will be severely shocked and you might even turn into a madman."

Amelia said.

"Tsk, this deal is really not easy to do."

He said with empty eyes.

"There was a proverb once circulated in Karkallens College: Whatever you gain, you must first lose."

When Amelia said this, her tone finally revealed the vicissitudes of life that matched her age.

"Okay, I did it."

Liu Zheng took a covert look at the dark ceiling and put on the hexagonal iron cage.

He placed the skull on his hooves and sat cross-legged.

"and then?"

he asked.

"Please close your eyes."

Amelia said.

Liu Zheng closed his eyes as he was told, and the scent of incense drifted into his nostrils.

The warm feeling spread from the top of his head to his whole body, and soon, he felt deeply sleepy.

In a trance, he seemed to see countless wonders flashing before him like a kaleidoscope.

There is a huge blood moon, a sparkling coast, an abandoned workshop, a towering castle, and many other things that are hard to describe.

Liu Zheng's consciousness passed through these wonders but did not leave any trace.

"Reasonableness reduction exemption successful."

He was startled awake by the system's prompt, and when he woke up, he found himself standing at the door of the main hall.

The huge bronze door closed tightly, and the clergy standing guard outside disappeared.

Faintly, the roar of a wild beast could be heard coming from the bronze door.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to take out the serrated butcher knife from the system space.

"Very good, the system is still strong."

Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Although a system that can handle even the metropolis is unlikely to be blocked by the dream world, what if?

Ninety percent of his strength lies in items. If the system is really blocked, he will be at a loss on the spot.

Fortunately, what he worried about did not happen.

After thinking about it, Liu Zheng took out all the items that might be useful.

After all, the opponent may very well be a boss more powerful than Beethoven, so we still have to respect him.

He slowly pushed the door open sideways, but the expected attack did not come, and the roaring sound stopped instead.

Liu Zheng dodged and rolled into the main sacrificial hall.

However, there was still no attack.

He stood up and looked towards the center of the hall.

The original main altar has also disappeared, with only the statue of a headless angel pouring out a water bottle still remaining.

Just below the mouth of the bottle was an extremely large throne, on which lay a deformed monster.

It has a body structure similar to that of humans, but its flesh and blood have become shriveled and decayed like a mummy.

Lush and extremely long hair grew from its huge, multi-branched antlers, spreading along its back and down its arms, like thorns or wings.

The most terrifying thing was that blazing flames burned inside its body, making it look like a devil crawling out of hell.

"SI DISCTE TIBI VIS SACRAMENTUM"

A sacred and ethereal chorus suddenly sounded and echoed in the main hall.

And the beast lying on the throne also moved.

It released the claws that had been covering its face and turned its huge head towards Liu Zheng.

"Ow!"

It let out a deafening roar, then bounced high from the throne and pressed towards Liu Zheng like a flaming mountain.

(End of this chapter)

280. Chapter 279 Humans are beasts

280.

Liu Zheng jumped back nimbly and avoided the attack of the fire beast.

The huge body slammed to the ground, and its claws, like excavators, left two shocking scars on the hard rock ground.

"Good guy."

He looked at the claw marks in amazement.

This power definitely exceeds that of Beethoven and him, but I don’t know how it compares to a calico cat.

If it were an ordinary wild animal, a crash of this magnitude would be enough to cause its internal organs to bleed or even displace.

But the fire beast didn't even stop, and immediately jumped up again, and its pitch-black claws grabbed towards Liu Zheng with a shrill sound.

"You can't resist."

Faced with the momentum that could tear everything apart, he quickly made a judgment and jumped to the side again.

The beast's claws hit the air again, and the huge force made the entire main hall tremble.

However, this time the flame beast did not gather strength to attack again, but opened its mouth.

Bright flames gathered from its entire body toward its mouth like blood, and finally turned into a red fireball and sprayed out.

"boom!"

A sound similar to that of a cannon firing was heard, and the fireball dragged a long tail of flame, like a meteor.

The direction in which the fireball was sprayed was exactly the direction Liu Zheng jumped away, and at this moment he had not even completely landed on the ground.

"grass!"

Liu Zheng cursed in his heart.

The opponent clearly predicted his actions. Could a beast really have such a high combat IQ?

It was definitely too late to dodge at this time. He thought about it and decided to give it a try.

The wide butcher knife was held horizontally, blocking Liu Zheng's head.

The fireball arrived in an instant and hit Liu Zheng's face directly.

The high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees instantly burned the blade of the butcher knife red. His body was burned by the splashing flames, and the hand holding the handle was directly burned with many blisters.

But soon, the burned parts fell off on their own and new flesh and blood grew out.

"Who doesn't have super powers?"

Liu Zheng looked very proud.

When the Flame Beast saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment and was even a little hesitant.

But soon, it became restless again.

"monster!"

It let out an inarticulate roar, and the flames on its body became brighter and hotter, like a stake.

"Hey, I'm more anthropomorphic than you, right?"

Liu Zheng said unhappily.

At least his body shape is still human, and he doesn't have as much hair as the fire beast.

In response to his rebuttal, the flame beast struck with an even more ferocious claw attack.

"Damn it, if I can trigger the 'burning rage' state, I will fight you with swords and kill you."

Liu Zheng cursed and dodged his attack again.

Unfortunately, he couldn't muster any anger towards such a beast, even though he had "anger disorder".

This time he learned his lesson and dodged directly to the side and rear of the fire beast, jumping twice in a row.

However, the claw, which had already exhausted its power, suddenly spurted out flames from the back, accelerating the claw again.

"Fuck, a jet machine blade? Are you that bad?"

Liu Zheng was surprised. This BOSS has too many small skills, right?

Faced with the beast's claws that were accelerated twice, he was unable to dodge this time and simply blocked it with the butcher knife.

The claws, which were harder than steel, collided with the butcher knife, making a teeth-grinding metallic wailing sound.

Under the huge force, he flew backwards and hit the stone pillar hard.

Two kinds of shattering sounds were heard at the same time, and the stone pillars that were strong enough to support the heavy ceiling were actually smashed into spider-web-like cracks.

As the projectile, Liu Zheng was naturally in a worse situation. His entire spine was shattered and his internal organs were damaged to varying degrees.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and a blood flower bloomed on the ground.

The fire beast that had originally intended to chase actually stopped and retreated after seeing the blood.

"Filthy blood!"

Its voice was fearful, angry, and then confused.

"No, it's not. This is not dirty blood."

It stared at the blood on the ground and muttered to itself, its voice becoming clearer and clearer.

"I feel the surging life force from this new blood, a life force that is even more surging than that of the previous blood."

The fire beast stretched out its claws, as if wanting to touch the blood, but retracted it when it was about to touch it.

Its huge body moved again, but not to attack, but to retreat, all the way back to the seat.

Its body curled up and returned to the posture it was in when they met.

"Who are you? How did you get here?"

The flame beast looked at Liu Zheng and his tone became calm.

"My name is Liu Zheng, and I'm a buyer from outside. In order to complete the purchase mission, I agreed to a deal with Amelia, the Grand Priest of the Blood Healing Church, and entered this dream world to hunt you."

He said it succinctly.

"Ah, Amelia."

Upon hearing the name, the flames on the flame beast's body began to fluctuate slightly.
