Chapter 118: The Hidden Nightmare

In the dark night, the girl stared blankly at the earth around her.

There was not a single figure in that desolate, parched land. Only a vague "hiss" echoed in the sky, bringing with it a sense of fear that made the hairs stand on end.

"Mr. Rhodes? Marlene? ”

Lizzie hesitated and took a few steps forward, whispering to her companion, but she received no answer. What is this place? Why is she here? Lijie didn't know the answer herself, she felt her heart beat fast, and her breathing became more and more rapid......

A cold raindrop fell from the sky and landed on the girl's face.

It's raining?

Lijie subconsciously touched the water droplets underneath, but when she took her hand away, she found the bright red on her fingers. Then, Lijie looked up at the sky——— and then she stiffened.

On her head, Marlene was staring at her friend with wide open eyes, her body had been completely torn apart from the middle, dozens of wind snakes were opening their sharp teeth, frantically tearing at her flesh, Marlene was hanging upside down in the air like a tattered doll, her hands dangling, blood flowing down her fingertips, slowly dripping to the ground. And beside her, there was only one head left, and his head was pierced by the wind snake, and there was not the slightest light in his blank eyes. At this moment, Li Jie found that what was blocking the sky was not clouds, but the condensation of countless wind snakes, and at this moment they were constantly flapping their wings, and their eyes emitting green light revealed greed and desire.

The hum of wings flapping is low and shocking, even giving people a sense of oppression.

"Marlene!! Mr. Rhodes!! ”

Lijie screamed almost heartbreakingly, and for a moment a huge fear and sadness filled her heart, her body began to tremble, and even the scenery in front of her began to blur. The wind snakes who were enjoying their meal seemed to hear her exclamation, and they screamed, and then pounced on the snake like locusts. Lijie only had time to raise her right hand, and in the next moment, she felt the other party's sharp teeth penetrate her throat mercilessly.........

The girl opened her eyes.

She stared blankly at the tent in front of her, and after a while she realized what had happened, and turned her head to see Marlene sleeping beside her, and judging by the smile on her face, it was clear that she had a good dream.

"It's a dream...... It's just a nightmare......"

It was only then that the girl let out a long breath, and she realized that her hands were trembling, and everything in her dream was so vivid, and even now, Lijie still remembered the faces, and the bloody and disgusting ......

"Woo.........!!"

Thinking of this, Lijie only felt a feeling of nausea surging uncontrollably, she hurriedly covered her mouth and rushed out of the tent, and then fell into the ravine next to her and vomited vigorously.

"Wow........."

Lying on the stone, Lijie only felt that her body was weak and weak, she shivered together, and the cold night wind blew, making her shiver like a rabbit in the cold winter. But even so, Lijie found that she still couldn't forget the terrible dream before, that scene was so vivid, she even involuntarily reached out to touch her throat, but the touch pierced by the sharp teeth resurfaced in her mind at this moment.

"Woo........."

Lijie lowered her head again.

How so, haven't I already overcome it? I should have no problem, and Mr. Rhodes said I had no problem, but what did I do......... It's just a nightmare, Lijie, cheer up, that won't happen again, you must be clear about this, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......... Lijie held her hand tightly and kept muttering to herself, but her body was trembling more and more intensely, and the cold breath penetrated the girl's body, and Lijie, who was already in a cold sweat, felt that her body was completely numb at the moment, as if she no longer listened to her command, and at the same time, a feeling of exhaustion came to her heart, She wanted to just close her eyes and sleep comfortably......

And at that moment, a voice pulled Lijie's consciousness back.

"Sister Lijie, what's wrong with you?"

Lizzie looked up, only to see that Labis was tightening her cloak, carefully poking her head out of the tent to look at her, after seeing Lizzie's appearance, Labis exclaimed, and then immediately jumped out of her tent, trotting all the way to Lizzie's side.

"Sister Lijie, what's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? Do you want me to call ......?"

Halfway through the talk, Labis was also stuck, you must know that in the mercenary group, Li Jie was responsible for treating others, and now that she is sick, Labis doesn't know who to call for a while...... You can't call Lijie to take care of Lijie.

"No need."

Lizzie took Labis's hand and shook her head with a wry smile.

"I just had a nightmare and was a little tired...... Can I go to your place and rest for a while? ”

Originally, Lijie planned to go back to her tent, but when she remembered Marlene, the girl immediately changed her mind. She wasn't sure if she would ever remember the nightmare again after seeing Marlene, and she didn't want to wake up her friend to worry about herself, after all, it was her own business.

"Of course there is no problem!"

Hearing Lijie's request, Labis quickly nodded her head without hesitation, and then she helped Lijie up and carefully helped her into her tent.

Unlike the others, she was the only one in Labis's tent, not because she had to be as special as Rhodes, but as an alchemist, a quiet environment was essential for Labis. At this moment, in Labis's tent, a pile of simple alchemy tools was neatly placed on the wooden plate next to it, and the dark green liquid inside was still tumbling, exuding a strange and pungent smell.

"Haven't you slept yet?"

"The head of the regiment told me to finish these things."

Hearing Lijie's inquiry, Labis replied helplessly with a bitter face. And hearing her answer, Lijie also chuckled, of course she knew how to behave so tragically, during the day, Rod took Shanna and others around the forest, found a bunch of magic plants, and then stuffed all these things directly to Labis, and at the same time, Rod also stuffed Labis with a recipe, asking her to refine the potion according to the record on the formula. Although Labis still habitually wanted to argue with Rhodes for a few words, the latter's cold "less nonsense, just do it" completely scared poor Labis back, and at this moment she could only helplessly follow Rhodes's request to do these things that even she didn't know what the use of the road was. However, Rhodes didn't seem to have any intention of explaining to her, as long as Labis could do what he said, and he didn't care about the rest.

Although Labis felt that this group leader was really a bit overbearing, what else could she do now?

I can only agree to come down. After all, no matter what, everyone else can contribute to the mercenary group, only she can't do anything, which always makes Labis feel guilty, and now she can make some contributions to the mercenary group, she is naturally very happy.

"Come, Sister Lijie, here's a cup of herbal tea that can make you feel better." Soon, Labis brought a cup of tea to Lijie's side, and after taking the teacup, Lijie looked at the warm tent in front of her, and felt that her body and mind seemed to be much more comfortable.

"Thank you, Labis, but ......... Are you dressed like this in your tent? ”

Looking at the girl in front of her, Lijie couldn't help but ask curiously, although she was in the tent, Labis was still wearing her hooded cloak, wrapping her head and body in it, without the slightest intention of taking it off. Not only her, but also her brother, and frankly, Lijie has had doubts about this for a long time.

"I'm used to this outfit, then again, Sister Lijie, are you really okay?"

Watching Lijie drink the comfortable hot tea in the cup, Labis asked uneasily again, but this time Lijie still shook her head with a wry smile.

"It's really nothing, Labis, I just had a nightmare......... A nightmare that I really don't want to recall, there's nothing to say about it. ”

'Oh............'

Hearing Lijie's words, Labis nodded as if she didn't understand, she didn't understand what Lijie meant, but she also knew that since the other party didn't want to say it, then she shouldn't ask again. Then she didn't say anything, she turned around again, sat down in front of the wooden tray and continued refining her potion.

That's right, it was just a dream.........

Sitting next to her, looking at Labis's busy back, Lijie gradually closed her eyes, and the hazy sleepiness hit her violently, and then, Lijie closed her eyes and fell asleep.

She didn't notice that after she had fallen asleep, Labis, who had been busy refining potions, turned around secretly, walked cautiously to her side, and covered her with a blanket. Then, looking at Lizzie's somewhat pale but calm face, Labis hesitated for a moment, then reached into her arms, and then she took out an emerald green, white magic badge and gently pressed it on Lizzie's forehead.

The emerald green, comfortable glow quickly emanated from the badge, and then enveloped the girl's body, and after a few minutes, the light slowly dissipated, and at this moment, Lijie's originally stiff expression also became a lot more relaxed. Instead, Labis frowned, clasping her hands to her chest, peeking at Lijie timidly, and then looking outside the tent.

"It's better to tell the head of the group......

Labis muttered to herself, then she turned and walked out of the tent.
