Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 17

[Chapter 17 Land (please read)]

[The matter of the territory has been completely dealt with, it is time to explore the extraordinary and immortal! ]

[On the green banyan-covered snowy moon, 43 days have passed since I moved in my dream, and I still haven’t seen the mainland. I’m a little shaken…]

[On the 46th day, it’s too wasteful to use all the mysterious energy for moving. Maybe I should re-plan. Divide the energy generated by dreaming into three parts every day, one part for movement, one part for strengthening, and one part for reserve? ]

…

[On the 50th day of the operation, at night in the dream world, I saw a terrifying scene. On the crimson moon, something terrifying seemed to be born. I saw the shadow of the dancing tree, and every branch of it was… On the ground, there were hanging deformed flesh and blood sacrifices… At the same time, world-class gibbering was also heard… It was speculated that another existence similar to the ‘Black Sun’ appeared. ]

…

[He was summoned by his father to participate in the winter festival in the territory. According to observations, he seems to be quite satisfied with the title of Earl of Green Forest? ]

[Green Banyan Silent Moon, spring is coming, but it doesn’t make much difference to me. Nothing happens in the territory, and I am still immersed in my dream…]

…

After writing the last note in his hand, Aaron typed Yawned, put on pajamas, lay on the big bed, and fell asleep.

During this period of time, rumors about the lord suffering from narcolepsy in Blackstone Manor have become more and more intense, but Aaron did not take it seriously.

If possible, he would like to spend the whole day in that other world.

Dream world.

A consciousness moved quickly above the sea.

For Aaron, this experience of constantly narrowing the perspective is no longer novel.

What he was really worried about was the occurrence of strange phenomena.

“Coupled with the strange phenomena and broadcasts I saw before, it is estimated that there are about five terrifying existences that have descended on this world… They are all accompanied by that kind of worldwide broadcast, or in other words, inspiration and pollution?”

Aaron wasn’t even sure they would find him.

At this time, I couldn’t help but have more worries in my heart.

He gathered his thoughts and divided the mysterious energy generated by today’s dream into three parts, one to strengthen himself, one to use on the road, and one to reserve.

Originally, Aaron thought everything would be the same as before, spent in boredom.

But today, the situation is slightly different.

In front of his eyes, a black line suddenly jumped up from the sea level.

Aaron was stunned for a moment, almost unbelievable, or thought he was hallucinating.

But after waiting for a while, the black line was still there!

“It’s land!”

Aaron’s consciousness was boiling: “Finally… I saw land!”

He couldn’t wait to step forward. The black line continued to expand and turned into a coastline, and more outlines gradually emerged.

What’s ahead is not a continent, just a small island.

On the island, the pale woods seem to have undergone some kind of mutation, like a palm stretching towards the sky.

And in the shadows, there are strange biological activities.

“It seems…are the creatures on land also polluted and affected by the scarlet sun?”

Aaron pondered, circling the island and found that it was not big, only a few dozen square kilometers.

However, the encouragement brought is still extraordinary.

At least, this was the first piece of land he encountered.

“Perhaps…the real continental shelf is not that far away…”

…

Despite motivating himself, Aaron still discovered the real continent after advancing for more than twenty days.

The endless coastline stretches as far as the eye can see and its depth is unknown.

“Finally…finally landed!”

Aaron felt moved in his heart. After sixteen years at sea, he finally set foot on the real mainland!

He even saw a port not far away.

Behind the port, a large number of buildings, stone roads, towers… together form a city!

“Today must be my lucky day!”

Aaron boarded the port and saw stranded sailboats, some with signs of struggle on them, and dried blood all around.

The pier is also in a mess… There is even a large ship that was cut off from it, just stranded not far away, as if… it was cut in two by some deep sea monster…

“Monsters in the ocean… boarded Did you get to the port?”

Aaron Sotos felt heavy.

If he had not changed the sun, perhaps this place would still be a prosperous port and would not be abandoned.

He walked along the stone road until he reached the city.

Many human corpses were randomly discarded on the roadside. They had weathered into white bones with signs of gnawing on them.

“It seems that not only the ocean, but also everything on the continent has been polluted?”

Aaron said to himself, his senses were suddenly touched, and he looked forward.

At the corner, there is a figure standing silently, like a stone statue.

Suddenly!

The figure moved slowly and walked towards Aaron.

Tread!

The clawed soles landed on the stone floor with a crisp sound, leaving behind lines of dirty bloodstains.

As the other party continued to approach, Aaron’s heart felt like he had been hit.

He saw…

a keratinized monster with no skin on his face, resembling a humanoid monster!

There are still remaining clothes on the monster, and it seems to have been transformed by humans in this world!

It had no eyelids, and its huge eyes stared straight ahead at Aaron. One of its arms had completely mutated and turned into an octopus-like tentacle.

One step, two steps…

The monster kept getting closer, and then… passed through Aaron’s body…

“Even if it’s a monster, can’t it touch me?”

Aaron looked at both sides of the street, and there were still people on some shops. There were strange symbols, which should be the words of this other world, but he didn’t recognize any of them.

‘Although I must learn very quickly after having [Extraordinary Memory], there must be someone to teach me…’

Aaron suddenly felt a piercing fear: “Could it be… that all intelligent creatures in this world are… Are you crazy?”

At this time, the monster turned around and rushed straight into a building.

Its huge, mutated, bat-like ears were shaking constantly, as if listening to some sound.

“No, no, it didn’t sense me, but other prey?”

Aaron suddenly thought of something and quickly walked through the wall and entered the building.

This seemed to be a bakery, with many shelves on the ground and a mummy hanging in the air, swaying in the breeze from time to time.

Aaron relied on the wall penetration technique and looked around, but found nothing.

The monster did the same, standing on the floor and stopping its movements.

Suddenly… Aaron thought of something and dug into the ground.

Under the floor, there is a secret passage!

Inside the tunnel, a brown-haired boy wearing a similar shirt and jeans, with a dark face, was covering the mouth of another girl, like two flesh worms, constantly squirming in the tunnel.

The girl was still clutching a loaf of black bread in her hand…
