Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 558 Nightmare

"I was once affected by this ability of Nightmare." After thinking for a while, Baima said, "In retrospect, I think its ability should be able to make us fall into dreams unconsciously..."

"What did you go through?" Rhodes asked.

"When I first came here, I didn't feel any abnormality, and I didn't encounter any danger until I walked near the passage leading to reality.

But as long as I get close to the passage, I will feel dazed and dizzy. When I return to normal and can see things clearly, I will find that I am back outside the gray fog.

In this way, I repeated the cycle countless times, and each time I would return to the outside of the gray fog when I was about to enter the passage, until I finally met the nightmare and was killed by it.

Later, after I regained my self-awareness, I saw the past and found that I was motionless as if I fell asleep as soon as I entered this gray fog.

I came here a few times later, and I didn’t encounter this situation when I wanted to go to reality through the passage here. I think our current situation should be the same as the first time I came here. "The white horse explained solemnly.

"This situation shouldn't affect me..." Rhodes thought, trying to raise his right hand.

He had reached the state of mind and mind in Castel before, and his body could move with his thoughts.

It's like being pressed by a ghost, although I feel awake, but no matter how hard I struggle, my body can't move.

This is because the body is not moving at all, but the thoughts are moving in the brain.

No matter how much a normal person thinks about raising their arms, the arms will definitely not be raised by themselves, they must be raised by themselves.

But for Rhodes now, as long as he thinks about raising his hand, his arm can be raised.

Just now when he had the thought of raising his right hand, Rhodes eyes blurred, and he felt a sense of falling.

The next moment, he found himself standing on the edge of the gray mist with his right hand raised, and the white horse under him was like a sculpture, keeping his right front leg raised and motionless.

Rhode reached out and patted the white horse's head, but it didn't respond.

He got off the white horse's back, stood on the side of the white horse, and pushed it towards the ground.

This is what he learned from the movie, the feeling of falling can wake creatures from deep sleep.

When it was about to hit the ground, the white horse neighed and woke up.

boom!
The white horse fell to the ground, and got up again after a while.

"Are we getting out of that state now?" Baima looked around in confusion: "Just now you suddenly disappeared in front of me, and then I felt like I fell to the ground."

"Now the problem has been solved, let's go in again." Rhodes rode on the white horse again.

The white horse didn't think much, and continued to walk forward.

Rhodes covered the surface of his body with internal force, resisting the erosion of the gray mist.

Even though the gray mist around him gradually became thicker, he didn't feel out of breath like before.

I don't know how long he has advanced, Rhodes felt a trance for a while, he shook his head, and after he saw his surroundings again, he found himself back on the edge of the gray fog.

The white horse under him kept raising his right front leg motionless.

Seeing this familiar scene, Rhodes took a deep breath. After confirming that he was indeed awake, he didn't wake up the white horse immediately, but stayed where he was thinking.

He was thinking of a reasonable explanation.

Could it be that I fell asleep again without knowing it?
Rhodes shook his head, denying this possibility.

He was just now sure that he had been awake the whole time.

Could it be that the nightmare teleported us here and put the white horse into a coma?
This seems somewhat possible, and not too difficult to do.

Rhodes got off the white horse again, went to the side and pushed it to the ground.

Just as it was about to hit the ground, it hissed and woke up.

It fell to the ground like last time, and then quickly stood up again.

"Are we getting out of that state now?" Baima looked around in confusion: "Just now you suddenly disappeared in front of me, and then I felt like I fell to the ground."

Why do these words sound so familiar?
It seems to be exactly the same as what it just said.

"What's wrong with you?" Rhodes asked vigilantly.

"It's okay, maybe it's because I was woken up just now, so I didn't stand still." The white horse replied, it seemed that Rhodes was asking why it fell to the ground.

"Then continue on." Rhodes returned to the back of the white horse.

He was very puzzled about what happened just now, why did Baima still lose the memory just now?

Could it be that it was so severely eroded by the gray mist that it lost its memory?

Rhodes was sure that he was awake now, and he had indeed awakened the white horse once before.

He sat on the horseback, a little restless.

There is another possibility. When I feel the fog eroding my body and mind, does it mean that the fog has already eroded me very seriously?
After moving on for an unknown amount of time, Rhodes felt dazed again, and his vision became a little blurred again.

Rhodes opened his eyes wide, trying to see what was happening around him, but his eyes were hazy, and with the cover of gray fog, he couldn't see anything clearly.

After the trance disappeared, he found himself back in the previous scene.

He looked at the motionless white horse below him.

This time Rhodes didn't choose to wake him up, but chose to walk into the depths of the gray mist alone.

He used his lightness kung fu with all his strength, and his speed was much faster than that of the white horse after it entered the gray mist.

Not long after, the feeling of trance came again.

But Rhodes didn't stop, and rushed forward staggeringly.

The trance became more and more intense, and eventually he stopped, only to find himself back in the previous scene.

The white horse raises its right front leg and maintains a motionless posture, only this time he is not on the horse's back.

Rhodes took a deep breath and tried his best to keep calm.

The internal force in my body is a little less than before, it's just that I used it to resist the erosion of the gray fog, and I used the result of using lightness kung fu to hurry.

After a while, he turned on the system, conducted an ordinary lottery draw, and got a healing elixir, which he put into the space ring.

Then he continued to walk towards the depths of the gray mist alone.

If he still returns to that scene this time like the previous few times, if the elixir drawn by the system disappears, and the chivalry value returns to the previous amount, it means that time is going backwards, and only his own memory remains.

And if the elixir doesn't disappear, it means that there is no turning back in time, but that I was influenced by some kind of force and went back there.

My feelings can lie to myself, and everything in front of me is illusory, as long as the things extracted from the system are indeed real.

Rhodes continued to rush forward, and stopped when the feeling of trance came.

When he could see clearly again, he found himself back beside the white horse.

Rhodes immediately opened the space ring.

Fortunately, the pill is still there.

He awakened the white horse in the same way as before.

Baima said the same thing as the first time.

"Are we breaking out of that state now?"

"Just now you suddenly disappeared in front of me, and then I felt like I fell to the ground."

"Let's go back this time, back to that lake." Rhodes said.
