Translator: Lonelytree

After a long stretch of silence, they could finally hear the sound of waves crashi+ng It e of the island was covered in rotten ground The white shi+p sailed gradually toward it before inching onto the shore A plank materialized on the side of the deck, and it extended toward the shore Gu Jun and Wu Siyu were dressed in light gray cotton outfits, looking like Chinese travelers from exotic lands

When they went behind the cabin door to change, the sound of shrieking frohtened It sounded like so to escape froing They did not stay to explore further That was soreed upon Now, the pair walked down the plank and stepped onto the island The clothes that they originally wore instantly dissolved into wisps of smoke When they turned back to look, the white shi+p had already sailed away into the world ofa ride back Hoere they going to leave should they complete their mission?

“So, is this it?” Wu Siyu observed their surroundings When they were still on the boat, Gu Jun had described the basic background of the nightmare to her The patients would find themselves at an abandoned island in their dream There would be withered trees, sodden leaves, and a s perfectly

“Yes” Gu Jun nodded He could recognize this shore “This is where the nightmare always starts”

They did not sense any human presence around them

“Perhaps our arrival has been announced or perhaps not In any case, we should be prepared,” Gu Jun warned The last words the captain said mentioned an imminent storm, but the sky was as clear as ever However, Gu Jun doubted the oldlike that If they were caught in a storm, it would make their journey that much more difficult

The two stopped to take inventory If they rationed carefully, the food and water could last them for a few days Other than that, they had the medic kit, an oil lamp, and teapons The weapons were normal weapons; they did not possess any special power and were not so, and the hilt was covered in exquisite carvings The blade was not sharp to the touch, but it could still hack through some tree trunks The boas n as the sword For some reason, Wu Siyu res Neither of the in this kind of classic weaponry In fact, for a girl as slender as Wu Siyu, she had trouble just nocking the bow The choice of the boasall bases instead of their ed weapon should the situation call for it

With regards to the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan, Gu Jun felt like he had learned less than one third of the first chapter They had not yet unlocked its power

“I have no idea how long we’ll need to travel” He turned to regard the eerie forest head There was a drea It felt like he could have floated through the forest if he wanted, but he knew that was not the case He took out a bandage from the medic kit and twisted it into a rope He tied it around his waist and Wu Siyu’s to prevent the separated Then, the two made their way toward the forest

As they stepped under the dying branches, the world around theifted by the old captain to light the oil lah for therowth Just like that, Gu Jun held the sword in one hand and the lah the forest When they journeyed for about tenThey both turned toward the direction of the sound, but all they saere the withered trees

“Did you hear that?” he asked softly

“I did,” she answered “Ielse, but I did not get any further inforrip on the long sword, but it did not provide him with any security The island was too unfah an unexplored forest with possible threat at every turn would test anyone’s uidance Perhaps lady luck was s on theer They journeyed for another two hundred h the trees It appeared like they had almost reached the end of the forest As they stepped out fro branches, it was as if they had stepped into another world Sunlight showered back on the exactly as they did in the nightmare

“That’s it,” Gu Jun said darkly
