Chapter 245 The Dream Demon Appears
Several rickety roof tiles fell to the ground, and everyone hurriedly retreated to avoid them.
After the silk thread embedded in the wall was pulled out, it turned around and attacked the group again.
"My lord, be careful."
Qingsong, Qingtong, and Qingshan immediately drew their swords and assumed fighting stances. Although they were unsure if they could defeat the enemy, they still immediately protected Xiao Han.
Qingying, Qingyang, and Qingzhou, who were guarding outside the gate, were searching around the courtyard when suddenly a loud noise came from the main hall. They both turned around alertly.
"What's going on?" Qingyang asked. "Could it be that they've gotten into a fight with that dream demon?"
"I don't know, but this commotion looks pretty big!" Qingying's expression also turned serious.
Although Qingzhou was a little scared, he was still worried about what was going on inside. "Why don't we go in and take a look?"
"Yes." Qingying and Qingyang nodded at the same time, and the three of them ran towards the main hall with their swords in hand.
"It seems you are not ordinary passersby. You were able to see my dream bag and even block my attack."
As Qingying, Qingyang, and Qingzhou stepped into the front hall, they heard a strange, muffled sound coming from inside. The sound was like a hissing sound, as if someone had a phlegm stuck in their throat that they couldn't cough up or swallow.
The atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy, and they couldn't help but furrow their brows and quicken their pace.
When they arrived beside Xiao Han and the others, the three of them were immediately shocked and their eyes widened.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this?" Qingyang exclaimed as soon as he entered.
Qingying couldn't help but frown, feeling uncomfortable all over as he looked at the strange scene before him.
Qingzhou stopped behind the two of them, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he quickly covered his mouth to stop himself from shouting.
At this moment, inside were not only the dream sacs and withered bones on the dome, but also the face of a hideous old woman hanging in mid-air.
It had no body, only a head floating around, with a head of messy, silvery-white hair hanging down from the empty eye sockets.
It was a gloomy face with skin that sagged like candle wax, now staring at the crowd with a half-smile and empty eye sockets.
The withered, toothless mouth kept emitting eerie "giggle giggle..." laughter, and they felt their pores instantly expand and their scalps tingle.
"Is this the dream demon? It looks like a demon."
Before coming, Qingshan had imagined what the dream demon would look like. He had also heard Qingyang and the others describe the appearance of the wolf demon and the cat demon. According to them, the monsters did not look scary. But he did not expect the dream demon to have such an ugly face.
Before he could even process the horrifying face before him, the hideous old woman's face suddenly split open from the middle, and a pair of hands reached out from inside, quickly peeling the skin apart to reveal a tender child's face.
Two lines of bloody tears streamed from the corners of the child's eyes, and his mouth was wide open, revealing two white teeth on each side.
However, the dream demon seemed dissatisfied with this. After its face contorted several times, it split open again, revealing a handsome man's face.
The crowd was once again shocked by the sight before them. Although they had heard many horror stories and read many books of strange tales, witnessing a head without a body floating in mid-air and speaking, while simultaneously splitting open to grow a different face, was still a chilling experience.
"I used to say I wanted to see what ghosts looked like, but now it seems I don't need to. The dream demon in front of me can fulfill all the settings in ghost stories."
Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief and spoke.
"Now that I think about it," Qingying commented, "wolf demons and cat demons seem much cuter compared to it."
“Yes, at least they don’t look as disgusting as they do.” Qingyang nodded in agreement.
Bronze and Qingzhou, who had also seen the cat demon and wolf demon, expressed the same opinion.
The dream demon ignored the two's taunts and stared at Long Chuqing, who had just withstood several of its attacks. "I didn't expect you to have some skill."
Its voice also changed to a clear male voice.
"However, now that you've come to my territory, you'll all become my prey, hanging here like them, hahaha..."
It looked at the white bones hanging upside down on the dome and laughed loudly.
As the laughter subsided, its eyes suddenly turned fierce, and it said menacingly, "None of you will escape."
Just as it was about to attack, Long Chuqing swung her whip again and lashed it out. With a "bang," the whip shattered the face.
The shattered face turned into pale blue fluorescence that scattered and then rapidly reassembled.
The face was like a melting candle, being shaped and melted, then shaped again, constantly changing its appearance, sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes young, and then slowly transforming into the appearance of a beautiful woman.
Dressed in a red gown, with a graceful figure and bright red lipstick, but with an overly pale complexion, she floated lightly beside the dream sacs, appearing ghostly in the dim blue light.
"Damn it, how dare you ruin my favorite face!" Meng Yao glared at Long Chuqing and said angrily.
Suddenly, its eyes lit up, and the corners of its mouth curled up slightly as it pointed at Long Chuqing: "However, your face is absolutely flawless. I have never seen such a beautiful face before, and I happen to be missing one."
At the same time, it looked at Xiao Han beside it: "And your face, it's so perfect too. Am I lucky today? Two perfect faces have come to me by themselves. It's so easy to get them! Hahaha..."
It had long fingernails on its hands, which it gently brushed across its face as it smiled enchantingly.
Then it pointed to the others: "And you guys, though not as perfect as those two, are not bad either. Once I kill you all, I can have them all at the same time, hahaha..."
Green Mountain pointed his sword at the Dream Demon and shouted, "Pah...you're dreaming! You're dreaming before you're even asleep, you ugly monster, you ugly demon..."
Qingzhou stepped forward and tugged at Qingshan's arm, whispering, "Can you handle it? It's best not to provoke it."
Qingshan doesn't care whether he can win or not; he absolutely cannot lose in terms of morale.
The dream demon seemed to have a really bad temper, and it got angry after being told that by Aoyama: "What an arrogant and ignorant thing."
She opened her arms, her fingers moving constantly, and then the white bones hanging upside down on the dome suddenly spun upside down and gathered together, floating beside the dream demon.
As the tattered strips of cloth wrapped around the skeletons slowly fell away, their once empty eye sockets glowed with a pale blue fluorescence, just like the silk threads.
Everyone retreated simultaneously, avoiding the falling shrouds.
"What bad luck." Aoyama waved the dust in front of him and muttered a complaint.
