Chapter 2116: Dream

"Hello! Please wait!" Qiao An shouted at the familiar figure ten yards away, "Excuse me, where is this?"
The man turned a deaf ear to his call, and rushed to himself, leaving a trail of different shades on the snow behind him.
Qiao An frowned, feeling more and more inexplicable, and spurred by curiosity, he dashed and ran after the man.
The distance between the two was not too far, but Qiao An tried his best to chase, but could not catch up with the weird man.
After running wildly for half an hour, his breathing was as rapid as a bellows, and he had to stop, panting, and the sweat from his forehead was blown by the wind and snow and condensed into a dense frost.
Qiao An coughed for a while and looked tiredly into the distance, the figure drifting away, almost completely disappearing in the depths of the wind and snow.
For some reason, Qiao An had an inexplicable attachment in his heart, eager to catch up with that person and see his face clearly, otherwise he could not let go.
After thinking about it for a while, Qiao An suddenly thought, why should he run a race with that person like a fool, and cast a spell directly in front of him to intercept him!
Quickly making a spell-casting gesture, Qiao An opened the "any door" and teleported directly to a thousand feet away, turning around and looking at the man who was running wild, waiting for him to run to him.
The man didn't know how long he had been running on the snow. He was so exhausted that he was panting and staggering. Qiao An couldn't help worrying that he was overstretched and fell on the snow and couldn't get up.
Just when the man was less than a hundred feet away from Qiao An, he was surprised to find that the opponent's feet were suddenly cut off by a sharp blade, and his ankles were plunged into the snow. The body that lost support did not fall, but ignored the inertia. Floating regularly!
Until this time, the man raised his head and looked at Qiao An's eyes, revealing a face that made him unbelievable!
No wonder this person was familiar from the beginning. It turned out that this mysterious person who ran wild on the snow until he broke his feet was actually Qiao An himself-no matter his body shape or face, he was exactly the same as himself!
Qiao An couldn't help widening his eyes and gasped.
This is ridiculous!
If the guy with the broken leg on the opposite side is really himself, who is observing the consciousness of the other person at the moment, who does it belong to?
With confusion and horror intertwined in his heart, Qiao An lowered his head and glanced at his feet. Fortunately, his feet were still alive, showing that the guy opposite was a fake!
Reluctantly remaining calm, Qiao An intends to activate the "True Knowledge" attached to the "Prosthetic Eye", expose the other party's disguise, and see his true face. However, at this moment, another "Qiao An" face showed extreme pain. With a grin and white teeth, he roared as if he wanted to say something.
Qiao An listened carefully, barely able to understand three vague words:
"Return me... the collar..."
Collar? !
Qiao An's heart trembled, and he subconsciously touched the "spirit collar" between his neck. A slight tremor came from his fingertips, as if he was responding to the call.
Bang!
Suddenly there was a muffled noise in the air. The fake "Joan" who broke his legs and howled in pain, exploded on its own in the volley, and the flying flesh merged with the blizzard, turning into a pale giant with first-born antlers, still maintaining both legs with disabilities. Stance, volley suspended.
Seeing this weird scene before him, the fear that had been hidden in his heart for many years was immediately awakened, Qiao An couldn't help but exclaim!
"Snow Demon Wendig!"
The antler giant seemed to hear his exclamation, and slowly lowered his head, his face was pale and ferocious, his eyes flashed with cold light, his mouth with interlaced fangs spewed cold mist, and he uttered a word intermittently.
"Return me... the collar..."
...
"Ahhh?!"
Qiao An suddenly sat up from the bed, his beating heart seemed to rush out of his throat at any time, his forehead was full of sweat, and his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
After sitting for a long time, he came back to his senses, and found that the enchanted "Palace of Mind" in the blood was automatically activated, calming the panic and restoring his composure.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao An started "Inner Vision" to check his health.
The nightmare prevented him from getting enough rest. Although he slept for two hours, the spell slot was not reset.
In addition, Qiao An also noticed that his health status was marked with a warning of "fatigue (Nightmare technique, which further verified his concerns. The nightmare he had just had was not a natural occurrence, but someone used the 5-level "Nightmare technique." "Cursed him, making him dream of the horrible scenes the caster wanted him to see.
Fortunately, Qiao An has enchanted "Trigger Technique" + "Palace of Mind" in his blood. When he detects abnormal changes in his physiological indicators in his sleep, he immediately activates "Palace of Mind" to suppress the negative effects of "Nightmare Art" and make him timely Get rid of the nightmare and wake up.
Qiao calmed down, recalling the scene in his dream, and naturally thought of Clarkto's repeated instructions when he kept the "Essence Collar".
"Brother Qiao'an, if you find yourself having nightmares frequently and dreaming of the Snow Demon Wendigo while keeping the collar, it means that this monster is about to be resurrected..."
After three years, this day finally arrived.
Qiao An had to face the reality. The Snow Demon Wendig had been resurrected, and it was this monster who had cast a "nightmare technique" on himself just now, declaring that he would pursue and kill himself mercilessly until he regained his "spirit collar".
The casting distance of the "Nightmare Technique" is infinite, and the Snow Demon also has an enchantment body that shields detection. Qiao An cannot predict where this monster is. However, according to Clark's account, there are also ancient documents in the Cloud City Library According to the records, Qiao An knew that after the Snow Demon warned the prey, he usually didn’t rush to hunt.
This monster has a completely perverted evil taste. After picking the favorite prey, it will continue to track the opponent for several days or even weeks, and continue to torture these poor people with crazy dreams for joy, until it drives the prey crazy and infects it in a desperate nightmare. "Winter Mania" eventually turned into an ogre with no reason at all.
That's right, the Snow Demon's "Nightmare Art" can not only torture its prey and make it unable to sleep peacefully, but it can also transmit its unique supernatural disease "Winter Mania" through dreams.
If Qiao An did not wake up in time just now and was touched by the Snow Demon in a nightmare, he would be at risk of contracting Winter Mania!
The "Palace of Mind" engraved in the blood can only wake Qiao An from the nightmare, but cannot prevent the Snow Demon from applying the "Nightmare Technique" to him. This is undoubtedly a hidden danger!
After thinking about it for a moment, Qiao Ann opened the storage bag, took out the "Topaz Amulet" from it, and re-enchanted the 3-ring "Secondary Mind Barrier" attached to the amulet.
