Chapter 544 Hello, I'm your sister-in-law
Behind the door is a green forest scene.
A door separates it as if it is two worlds of life and death.
A nameless wind blew, and the door closed and merged with the stone wall. Just as Xia Ren was a little stunned, a sound of bone squeezing suddenly came from the distance.
Because he was not familiar with the fantasy dream, he was suddenly a little nervous.
At the end of the field of vision, a hunched figure appeared on the boundless white bones. His appearance was similar to that of a human, but his legs were slightly different, and he seemed to be walking with his legs curled up. What made Xia Ren even more alert was that the other party had rubbery skin, his face looked a bit similar to a dog, his sharp claws were covered with fungi that only appeared in the cemetery and the tomb.
It turned out to be a ghoul.
However, that painting was originally left by Pickerman, who was a ghoul, so it was not surprising that he would meet a ghoul on the other side of the passage, and Xia Ren was originally looking for them, so he did not choose to run backward as soon as possible.
Just as he was observing the other party, the ghoul also saw him.
The other party seemed to be stunned, feeling a little strange about the appearance of humans here, but he still walked quickly towards this side.
The distance between the two was quickly closer. In the fantasy dream, Xia Ren was unable to use the system and tentacles, and his combat power was greatly reduced. He was almost certainly not a match for the ghoul, but the opponent did not seem to be going to launch an attack.
He walked towards the side and said something again. Xia Ren looked puzzled and didn't understand a word.
Seeing his expression, the ghoul seemed to understand something. Then, he opened his mouth again and said, "Are you a dream maker? Why did you come here?"
This time Xia Ren understood because the other party used fluent human language.
The dream maker should be the one who Niu Changshou once told him that he could enter the dream freely?
Xia Ren's head turned quickly and nodded: "I am, where is this?"
The ghoul scratched his head: "If you don't know this place, it's a problem. This is the home of our ghouls. Are you the dream creator who has just awakened recently?"
Xia Ren also pretended to be confused and said, "Yes, I came here as soon as I opened my eyes. By the way, do you know Pickerman?"
"Pickman?"
The other party seemed a little confused, but then he remembered something: "You are talking about our high priest? No one has called him by Pickerman for a long time. But how did you know him?"
So far, he has not shown any aggression, but has started chatting like an ordinary person.
Xia Ren hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you ghouls from the Light Clan or the Dark Clan?"
"Um?"
The other party seemed to be puzzled by this question, but after a little thought, he understood Xia Ren's meaning: "You want to ask if we have good intentions or malicious intentions towards humans, right? Don't worry, the ghouls living in Nas Valley believe in the gloomy and cold bone gods, Mordichian. We don't like fighting and killing. Simply put, it's... some salted fish."
He also knows how to use this humor to gain people's favor. Xia Ren feels that the ghoul in front of him is much smarter than he imagined, and at least he has a deeper understanding of human culture.
The other party continued: "The dark camp you mentioned should be the residents of the dark, the ghouls of Niyogda. They are more fierce and cruel, and have close ties with wizards and witches. If you have nothing to do, you like to sacrifice some living people. They are extremely unfriendly to you humans."
Xia Ren looked at his expression... Well, it was hard for the ghoul to see any expression, the canine face looked like it was san.
In short, the other party should not have lie to him, so he said truthfully: "I came in here through Pickerman's paintings and wanted to find him if I have something to do. If possible, I would like to ask you to take me to see Pickerman."
The time elapses in fantasy and dreams and real worlds are roughly the same, so it is best to get to the point directly, otherwise if you miss the time to rescue Qin Yun, Xia Ren will regret it for the rest of his life.
"The paintings of the high priest? It seems that the high priest really likes painting."
The ghoul thought about it and probably felt that Xia Ren was not threatening either, so he agreed very simply: "Okay, I'll take you to find the high priest."
They walked in the valley full of bones, and soon they arrived in a huge cave.
During this period, Xia Ren chatted with the ghoul who brought him up and realized that the other party actually had more powerful wisdom than ordinary humans, and according to the other party, all ghouls here are like this.
They understand human lifestyles, know all about human society, behaviors and psychology, and even have more in-depth research on human art appreciation.
This ghoul also has a human name, called McLan, which was named when he lived in Nanzhou not long ago. In fact, this happened not long ago at least seven hundred years ago.
Xia Ren followed McLan into the cave, and the road inside was winding and rugged, like a maze, with no end to see.
Fortunately, the surrounding walls were inlaid with gems emitting soft white light, used as lighting. Xia Ren forced himself to write down the road so that he would at least run out if he would wait for something unexpected.
McLan pointed to the gem and said, "These glowing stones are the spoils we have seized from fighting with the Moon Beast for territory. If they are placed outside, any piece will be worth a lot."
Each piece of gems on the wall is larger than a human fist, and it is indeed a top-notch treasure.
Along the way, they met many ghouls coming and seeing McLan come here with a stranger, they waved and said hello and chatted in human language, which seemed very enthusiastic.
The atmosphere here is so relaxed that Xia Ren can't help but feel that he is going to attend a dance party. Of course, it would be even better if the person who greeted him looks more beautiful.
They walked through the long underground passage and came to a separate cave with a door. McLan stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, sound came from inside, indicating that they could enter.
When Xia Ren opened the door, he saw that the hole was dressed in a style similar to that of a human house, as well as furniture such as sofas and bookshelfs, but there was no electronic equipment.
In addition to furniture, there are some strange things in the room, which cannot be seen in specific functions, as well as painting tools, and oil paintings all over the wall.
The artistic styles of these paintings transcend human aesthetics. He only took a look and lost interest in the horror scenes that were all outlined by dark colors.
There was a desk deep in the room. Behind the desk, Xia Ren finally met Pickerman.
