5. Guard(1/2)
When Yu Hao left the village, he saw a shepherd on the roadside, which surprised him very much. The shepherd looked at him suspiciously, and Yu Hao turned his head to look at him.
The shepherd passed by them.
"They are the NPC residents in your dreams," said the general. "Don't just greet you now."
After leaving the village, there was a vast grassland. The elephant's chirping scared Yu Hao. Not far away, an elephant was drinking water by the lake.
"Why?" Yu Hao asked the general again.
The general replied: "Everyone, every dream, will happen in this big world, like a piece of puzzle that has been filled up, adding a new part. For example, if you dream about lying in the wild today, the wilderness is a piece of your new dream. When you dream of someone, there will be more NPCs in your dream. These NPCs are permanent and your impression of people from outside. Now you may have trouble talking to them."
"What trouble?" Yu Hao said, "Why are there trouble?"
The general suddenly stopped and said, "What did you hear?"
Yu Hao heard nothing. The general stood in front of him, touched his back, and drew a broad sword. Yu Hao noticed that the sword had become much bigger than when he first met.
"Someone is here to catch us."
Before he finished speaking, horse hooves sounded from afar, and a team of soldiers rushed towards the village.
"There is there! Found it!" a familiar voice roared.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of people rushed towards the village, and the general made a quick decision: "Run!"
Yu Hao looked confused. This was an open plain. You would be found wherever you escape. In an instant, sharp arrows shot over his side. The general turned around and pressed Yu Hao to the ground to protect him with his back. The arrow clusters kept shooting on his iron armor like heavy rain, shooting out many dents.
Taking advantage of the end of a wave of arrows, the general shouted: "Go to the lake! Hide!"
The next moment, the soldiers who were driving the war horse rushed over. When Yu Hao fled, he glanced at him in a hurry. He saw more and more cavalrymen, forming an encirclement from all directions. They were all wearing black leather armor and their bodies were emitting black air. The leader turned out to be...
"Let's go!" the general shouted, then swung the broad sword and faced the leader with a fierce sword!
The leader suddenly turned his back and overturned the horse. The general swept away the weapons and actually collided with hundreds of cavalry alone!
Yu Hao fled to the lakeside. There was a forest by the lake. The general asked him to "hide", but he looked nervously into the distance, always feeling that he had to do something. The elephant who was drinking water by the lakeside heard the sound, turned his head and stared at him.
There were more and more cavalrymen on the grassland. The general wanted to fight and retreat, but the hop rope shot from all sides, wrapped around his wrists, and dragged him to the ground. The cavalry drove the war horse and stepped hard on him. The general grabbed the horse's legs and overturned the war horse to the ground.
Then, a whistle shook the earth.
An elephant was thundering and rushed towards the cavalry team along the grassland. Everything in the world seemed to shake, and Yu Hao was riding on the elephant's back.
"Get out of the way!" Yu Hao shouted.
The elephant chirping was like a horn of charge. With just a collision, the cavalry team collapsed instantly! The general rolled sideways on the ground, avoiding its pillar-like giant legs, and shouted: "You almost stepped on me to death!"
Yu Hao shouted: "Come up!"
The general grabbed a lonely war horse, turned over and rushed out of the encirclement. The elephants trampled around, and the cavalry fell off their horses and fled away, holding long halberds in their hands. When they wanted to fight again, the elephant turned and rushed towards the leader.
The team leader was in a mess and shouted: "Yu Hao! You thief!"
Yu Hao: "..."
The general shouted, "Who is that?! Get rid of him!"
Yu Hao: "That's our grade counselor!"
The captain's helmet slipped off and his face showed off. It happened to be Yu Hao's counselor, Xue Long...
"Don't worry!" The general rode his horse through the periphery, controlled the horse with both legs, swung the sword and rushed in again, yelling, "Stamp him to death!"
Yu Hao: "..."
Without waiting for Yu Hao's orders, the elephant stomped on Xue Long and stepped on him. Xue Long screamed in terror, and the cavalry immediately shouted in panic, scattering birds and beasts.
"Let's go!" The general cut over several soldiers and urged.
Another pursuer came in the distance. This time, the leader of the team was unknown. Yu Hao patted the elephant's head. Without waiting for his order, the elephant turned his head and ran away. The general rode his horse to catch up with him, walked with him, and returned to his back with his sword. Yu Hao reached out to pull it. The general jumped suddenly and rode on the elephant's back.
The war horse ran around, and the general wrapped his hands around Yu Hao's waist and rode steadily behind him.
The elephant shook the pursuers away from afar, and Yu Hao still couldn't stop looking back, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The general said: "The owner of the totem has discovered us. Once it arouses its alertness, there will be more and more pursuers."
"Who is the master of totem?"
"I have to ask you." The general replied, "but I don't know anything about you."
Yu Hao said: "This elephant doesn't know why, and is willing to help me. I just arrived at the lake. It seemed that it knew I was in danger. She knelt down and asked me to ride on it..."
"Everything has its reasons for appearing in your dreams," said the general. "Along the way, try not to talk to the NPC in the dream, otherwise it will alarm the totem master."
Yu Hao asked again: "Why do you know these things? Are you a human being, general?"
The general did not answer.
Yu Hao remembered the last time the general said, "I am not a part of your consciousness", which means that the general came from outside the dream.
"Why did you come to my dream?" Yu Hao asked, "Why should I save me?"
The general replied, "I don't want to watch you die."
"Are you human or..."
"Ghost?" The general was very conscious.
Yu Hao held his forehead with one hand. He felt that he had too many problems, which might be a bit annoying, but the general was always patient.
The general finally said: "Don't ask anymore. The more you know, the easier it is to have a complex impact on your dreams. It's not a good thing."
Yu Hao nodded, suppressed his curiosity and did not ask any further questions.
At the end of the road, a magnificent mountain blocked the way. After walking on the mountain road, a wind blew and the sky became dark. The two elephant mounts began to become restless. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and were full of thorns. However, the elephant continued to move forward unswervingly until the mountainside was full of cliff roads.
Yu Hao and the general got down the elephant's back and faced a narrow path, with a steep rock wall on one side and a deep abyss on the other. The general said, "I'm heavy, I'll carry you over."
Yu Hao asked him to carry his back, and the general turned around, pressed his back against the rock wall, faced outside the cliff, stretched his hands and moved carefully step by step.
He wanted to know the general's appearance. Judging from his tone, he was not old and occasionally looked cute, like a young man, trying hard to make himself sound more mature.
Yu Hao suddenly asked, "General, can I see what you look like?"
"No." The general said without thinking.
Yu Hao had to give up, and the general said again: "If you can successfully regain the totem, I will take off your helmet once."
When Yu Hao heard the word "公司", he vaguely felt that there was a challenge coming soon. According to the general, the current owner of the Totem has powerful power and is still chasing him. He did not seem to want him to return to his original position.
"What do I do?" Yu Hao said, "Is the enemy difficult to deal with?"
"I'll know when I'm here." The general said the same thing. He carefully walked through the narrow path and let Yu Hao get down. It was almost night and they came to the end of the cliff. Yu Hao couldn't help but exclaim.
On the plain at the foot of the mountain, a huge city appeared, and a magnificent palace stood in the center! The palace was brightly lit and colorful, with flying eaves hidden in the night and a huge black dragon flying in the sky!
"This..." Yu Hao was simply incredible.
The general adjusted his helmet and iron gloves and said casually: "Next, I have to escort you back to the palace and make you the master of this world. But the palace has been occupied, so we have to be very careful."
"Where is the reinforcements last time?" Yu Hao asked, "Can I call them for help?"
"No, they are guarding the Great Wall to protect you." The general replied.
Yu Hao remembered the attacks he suffered on the road and said, "I can't do anything."
The general said: "Your power will come back little by little, and when you reach the totem, you will become omnipotent."
Yu Hao said: "But how do we get in? Can I do something? For example, using magic?"
"What are your specialties or hobbies?" The general led him to the outer wall of the city, looking for a way to enter the city, hesitated for a moment, and asked.
Yu Hao: "English."
General: "…"
Yu Hao: "Okay, is it a chess game?"
General: "Is there any more?"
Yu Hao: "Sing...sing well."
General: "Is there no sports?"
Yu Hao has no choice.
The city wall stood up, and sound came from the other side of the wall. The city gate opened in an instant, and a group of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed out, scattering into the plains.
"We are searching for our whereabouts." Yu Hao said.
The general said: "Think of a way to get in and think about whether there are any elements in reality that can be connected."
Yu Hao's eyebrows were deeply locked, looking at the city gate that was opened and closed again, and then looked up at the city wall.
Soon, Yu Hao found a group of elephants from the plain outside the city. Elephants stacked one by one, and began to stack arhats like circuses.
General: "…"
Yu Hao: "What's wrong? I can only command elephants." He found that the elephant in his dream listened to him and did whatever he asked him to do.
General: "Can this still happen?"
Yu Hao said: "Have you ever been in the dreams of many people? You should be accustomed to it, right?"
