88. Chapter 88 – Looking at each other
Chapter 88: Confrontation
“Jiao Yan City doesn’t have a sea of otherworldly flowers.
Nor is there a moon this big and this close”
Lu Yuan stood up from the ground and once again scrutinized everything around him.
The ground he stepped on was loose and soft, and as far as the eye could see, there were red Pishion flowers in full bloom all over the place.
A cool breeze blew through the mountains, the flowers rustled, the full moon hung still, and the river level flowed.
The picture was so beautiful that Lu Yuan felt as if he was watching a super fine CG of a 5A grade game masterpiece.
Lu Yuan walked down the hill, the flowers along the way rubbed against his calves, making a soft rustling sound.
“Is this considered a test that one must go through after opening the Transcendent Panel, or is that weird bead from the Crow God Sect messing with it?”
Lu Yuan couldn’t be sure, so he was a little more careful.
This dream was even more real than the [Imaginary Enemy].
But there was no way to actively exit, and he didn’t know what he would encounter next.
Passing through the large sea of flowers on the other side of the river, Lu Yuan walked up to that one calmly flowing river.
The river was wide and flat as if it was a mirror.
The surface of the river reflected the red flowers on both sides of the river, as well as the shadow of the full moon.
Lu Yuan casually picked a flower and threw it into the river, watching the silver-like moonlight shatter into pieces, the river sending the petals all the way forward.
“Cosplaying the River of Hades?”
Lu Yuan took two steps closer and his right foot tentatively gently dripped into the river.
A cold touch wrapped his ankle, and the gently rippling surface of the river presented floating silhouettes.
A handsome teenager with messy hair, wearing a white T-shirt splattered with dark red blood spots, his face and body covered with many tiny wounds that had crusted over with blood.
“It’s all a dream, why don’t you heal the wounds on my body.”
Lu Yuan casually spat out.
Unexpectedly, the next second.
Lu Yuan then felt his arms, face, and many parts of his body start to itch.
He casually wiped his cheeks, and fine scabs of blood fell off in droves like crumbs, landing on the calm water.
“Really cured me?”
Lu Yuan attempted to wave his arms, feeling stronger and more energized than ever before.
Even the arm with the worst injury was completely healed, and it seemed to be more powerful than before.
There were some surprises.
But not many.
This was in the dream world, after all.
Lu Yuan began to tread the river step by step towards the huge full moon in front of him.
The cool moonlight poured over him, and the silence flowed along with the river.
Soon, Lu Yuan realized that the silhouette of a tree appeared in his vision.
The tree grew right at the foot of the huge full moon, at the water’s edge of the River of the Underworld.
LU Yuan subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
Squinting his eyes, he looked far in the direction of that tree.
Suddenly, the shadow of that tree moved.
The entire tree dispersed all at once steeply, transforming into many black crows that flew up.
The flock of crows transformed by the tree flew under the full moon for a while before coming together once more.
This time, they slowly formed a human figure.
Because the distance was too far, Lu Yuan couldn’t see what the figure looked like.
However, he could recognize that it should be a woman.
She stood under the full moon, on the water of the River Styx, revealing the incomparably beautiful curves of her body’s silhouette.
The woman slowly walked towards Lu Yuan step by step.
There was an indescribable elegance and calmness.
Lu Yuan quietly admired for a while, and then quietly clenched his fists, ready to punch over at any time.
Just as the woman stepped on the river, she was getting closer and closer to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was almost able to get a good look at her.
“Wow…”
She, however, shattered apart again like a mirror, reappearing as countless crows that scattered and disappeared.
Gone?
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, turning his head to look around for the woman, fearing that she would appear out of nowhere again the next second.
“Clatter-clatter-“
Lu Yuan’s feet stirred the river water and took two slight steps in the river.
Just as he turned around at a certain point, the aesthetics of the entire dream world quickly faded. The bright full moon at the end of the river had silently and completely turned into a blood-like red color.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked at the huge blood moon.
There was a black line in the center of the blood moon, and the black line was surrounded by pale whiteness.
It was like an incomparably huge eyeball.
It was also silently watching Lu Yuan.
“Wow…”
The taut fishing line pulled upwards, and a fish swung and splashed out.
The silver-white scales flashed with dots of golden light in the early morning sunlight.
“Ha!”
Sitting on the shore, the angler guy with pitch-black skin flew up from his small bench, his face beaming.
“How many has this been today?”
He skillfully picked up the fishing net and fished the fish into the bucket, his chin slightly raised, looking at the side of an “air force general” with a proud face.
His companion, who was about the same age as him and had apparently come together, scanned the empty bucket at his feet and was so annoyed that he wanted to kick the man down the river.
He cursed, “Get out!”
The latter was not angry and smiled as he re-baited the hook.
When the hook was in the water again, he sat down with his butt on the small bench.
“Snap-“
Mei Mei lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply, exhaling beautifully shaped smoke rings.
“Fishing is something that depends on skill.”
He was about to say a few words as he propped up the fish bucket full of “merit medals” with one hand.
But just as his words left his mouth, they were blocked by his companion.
“Shut up!”
Only then did the fishing man notice that his companion’s eyes were staring at the river in front of him, and the fishing rod in his hand had been pulled into a bow of exaggerated magnitude at some point.
“Holy shit, got a big one!”
Fishing man can not care about other things, a pull down the mouth of the cigarette hard to extinguish, the whole person also followed the nervousness.
“Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious at this time, take your time.”
The companion’s two eyes were glowing, his hands gripped the fishing rod tightly, as if he was a warrior holding a spear and throwing himself into the fray.
Fishing rod bending angle is getting bigger and bigger, the veins on the back of his hands are bursting out, people also unconsciously stand up from the stool.
The tugging and pulling lasted only half a minute before there was a great commotion on the river.
The fishing man holding the pole flashed a trace of determination in his eyes, and once he gritted his teeth, he simply exerted his strength to lift the pole upward fiercely.
Accompanied by a huge splash of water.
In an instant.
There was a black shadow from the surface of the river, which was covered with fine golden light, broke out of the water with a crash.
The two anglers on the bank had been looking forward to this moment, and their mouths opened wide, letting out a long “wow” sound of amazement.
But in no time at all, the “wow” suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, turning into a short but powerful-
“Shit!”
“Woah… shit!”
“Bang!”
The black shadow that leapt out of the water landed steadily on the ground of the bank, surprisingly, it was a silhouette.
The two anglers were so shocked by this sudden change that they staggered backward, their faces full of shock and incredulity.
Nima, isn’t it a fish, how did you catch a person up?
The person who came out from the water was tall and well-proportioned, and his bare arm and calf muscle lines were extremely powerful and beautiful, looking at the young man who worked out from time to time.
As soon as he landed on the shore, he began to wring the wet clothes on his body.
The two anglers gradually recovered from the shock.
“Awesome old Cao, you caught all the morning swimmers.”
One of the fishing guys mumbled and opened his mouth.
Before the other man could reply, he saw the man who had his back to the two of them breaking water turn around at the sound of the voice.
After seeing the other person’s face clearly, the two anglers’ hearts, which had only been lowered for a short while, immediately lifted up violently again.
Their expressions both became horrified.
