Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 387 Dream Virus

the other side.

Himeko, with Jingyuan in tow and Black Swan following behind, ran quickly down the corridor.

"Miss Black Swan, what exactly is going on?"

Himeko glanced back, her expression extremely anxious.

It seemed as if something was chasing them from behind.

"I don't know how this could have happened."

"I've never encountered this situation in my dreams before?" The Black Swan spoke quickly, and her footwork was equally rapid.

"But aren't you a memory person? Shouldn't you be quite knowledgeable about this kind of thing?"

Jingyuan ran and shouted.

“The universe is so vast, there are things that even those who remember don’t know.” The black swan looked extremely flustered.

She had genuinely never encountered anything like this before.

Just now, they were doing a good job with their investigation, but suddenly the family members appeared and arrested them.

That's nothing. After some negotiation, the worst outcome is just being deported.

Just as Himeko stepped forward to prepare for negotiations, a seven-colored light flashed, and the family members suddenly froze. Two people lowered their heads at the same time, as if they had lost consciousness.

The remaining family members also didn't know what was going on.

He was about to wake his companion when suddenly his companion sprang to his feet.

His eyes were flashing red, and blood was trickling from the corner of his eye. His speed and strength were ridiculously great, and before he could react, he had grabbed him.

"What happened..."

Before Himeko could finish speaking, the man bit off his neck in full view of everyone.

Not only Himeko, but even Black Swan and Kagemoto were shocked by this scene.

What happened? Are family members killing each other?

Before they could even react, members of another family suddenly attacked, their target being them.

The black swan reacted quickly, immediately throwing out a tarot card.

The tarot cards expanded instantly in mid-air, forming a barrier that blocked his path.

"Miss Black Swan, what exactly is going on?"

"I don't know either..."

At this moment, the black swan's pupils gradually contracted, and a crack appeared in the center of the tarot card.

The next second, the family members broke through the barrier of the tarot cards and headed straight for them.

Following behind, besides the person whose neck had just been bitten off, was the headless corpse whose neck had also been bitten off. It actually stood up and launched an attack on them.

The scene was truly horrifying and had a tremendous psychological impact.

Jing Yuan reacted quickly, instantly conjuring a Guan Dao in his hand, and swung the broadsword down fiercely.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Jing Yuan's attack, which was originally capable of splitting a giant mountain, was actually knocked away by an ordinary person from a family, along with his Guan Dao.

The force was so great that Jing Yuan's tiger's mouth was throbbing with pain.

Jing Yuan was shocked. Even without using the power of thunder, this strike was not something an ordinary person could block.

"Something's wrong, run!"

Jingyuan immediately threw the Guan Dao away and grabbed Jizi, running away to the back.

Himeko staggered a few steps before catching up with Jingyuan, but the bracelet on her wrist fell to the floor.

The black swan reacted quickly and followed closely behind them.

The two people and the corpse that broke through the barrier chased after them frantically in an extremely bizarre manner, and their running speed was abnormally fast.

Apart from their human appearance, they don't resemble humans at all.

At that moment, the black swan recalled a detail.

When they broke the Tarot card barrier, they didn't use brute force. Instead, the barrier first showed a bit of rainbow light, as if it had been infected, before it was broken.

And this seven-colored light gives people the feeling that....

Virus!

The black swan suddenly realized something.

"It seems these people are infected with some kind of dream virus..."

The black swan voiced its speculation.

"Virus? Are there viruses in dreams?" Jing Yuan asked as he ran.

"Of course, just as there are viruses that target the bodily functions of organic life, there are also viruses that target the modular systems of inorganic life. The definition of a virus is a variable factor that arises in the current field and has extremely strong transmissibility and destructiveness. Natural dreams are no exception."

"Do you remember? Before those two families stopped, it seemed like a rainbow of light flashed behind them."

"This phenomenon also occurred when my barrier was breached."

"I speculate that the red light is a virus that can infect dreams, and everything made up of dreams will be infected by it."

"These objects infected with the dream virus are called dream dead zones."

Upon hearing Black Swan's words, both Himeko and Kagemoto fell silent.

This means that they are absolutely unable to defeat this virus in a dream world.

"Miss Black Swan, do you have any solutions for the virus?"

"Unfortunately, not at the moment." Black Swan shook his head.

She had no idea where the virus came from, how she was infected, when the infection started, or what the symptoms were.

Even if the person who remembers the dream understands it well, they will still have a difficult time in this situation.

"There's a room over there, let's hide there first!" Black Swan spotted the room ahead.

Jingyuan slowed down and came to the back of the group.

At this moment, the three dreamlike death zones were less than a meter away from Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan suddenly turned around and swung his Guan Dao from below at an angle.

Even the mighty Dream Realm was too slow to react and was slashed away, crashing into the wall.

"It's really tough!"

Jing Yuan shook his hands; they were numb.

Despite using a sneak attack and a full-force strike, he couldn't leave a single wound on these Dream Death Realm creatures; he merely sent them flying.

"Jingyuan, quick! Over here!"

Himeko stood at the doorway, one hand on the door, shouting loudly.

Jing Yuan didn't look back for long and ran away as fast as he could.

This thing is absolutely terrifying.

It's not the kind of terror of being unable to defeat someone, but rather the fear of the unknown.

Jing Yuan has lived for over a thousand years and has never encountered anything like this before.

If it weren't for the pioneering journey, he probably would never have seen or even heard of it in his entire life.

The moment Jing Yuan closed the door, the dreamlike dead zone embedded in the wall did not struggle. Instead, the walls beside them were gradually infected by the red virus, slowly merging with them.

A colossal creature with six legs, six arms, but only two heads, and its entire body covered in bricks, fell off the wall.

The moment it landed on the ground, a strange cry made the entire dream world tremble, and the red dream virus spread with each step it took, gradually eroding the entire corridor.
