Chapter 540
Back to the Dream
Under normal circumstances, Shao Xuan rarely dreamed . Every time he dreamed, there would’ve been a reason, and sometimes the reason was related to something that might actually happen in real life .
When he thought about all the dreams he had before, he realized that all of them carried strong hints or warnings .
Sometimes, Shao Xuan wished he had more of these dreams, but it was beyond his control . He could only accept what came to him . It couldn’t be forced .
But this night, after he fell asleep, Shao Xuan entered a dream state he hadn’t attained before .
Shao Xuan knew that in the dream, he was in the forest, and he could hear the sound of the breeze blowing gently across the grassy field . The sound of grass and leaves rustling sounded like waves that rose and fell .
As he looked up, the moons had already begun to wane and were getting smaller and smaller . They were approaching the end of the year, so as the edges of the moons moved farther apart from each other . They were already becoming thin curves and were unable to provide enough light .
There were no stars and it was dark everywhere .
Shao Xuan wanted to scan the area around him with his special vision, but there was no use . Even after he switched to his special vision, all he could see was a thick layer of mist, and it was actually worse than his ordinary vision .
Besides his limited vision, Shao Xuan also felt very clear-headed and awake in the dream . His senses were sharp and he could sense all the tiniest movements around him . He somewhat knew that he was in a dream, but it felt so real .
Although his surroundings were very dark, Shao Xuan could still see the rough outlines of the surrounding trees, rocks, and mountains, but he could not see the details .
Shhhhh--- Shhhhh---
A gentle breeze swept across the grassy fields . Amongst the sounds of grass and trees waving to the rhythm of the breeze, there was another sound that wasn’t obvious to the normal human ear . It was difficult to tell it apart from the other sounds . If you didn’t have such sensitive ears, you wouldn’t be able to hear it at all .
Within the thick grass, something was moving rapidly and started running . It was not far away from Shao Xuan . He only saw a blurry shadow that ran into the distance as fast as the wind . He could even feel the air being disturbed as the figure speeded into the distance .
Without much thought, Shao Xuan quickly followed the sound and wanted to catch up to it . His instincts told him that it was the target he had been searching for .
The figure ran very fast . In the thick woods and grass, it moved lightly with ease, without any restrictions in its movement .
As it ran out of the thick grass, it came across a rocky field . It passed through the stream and entered the forest . The trees at this part of the forest were very strange . They were twisted and crooked, like willows reshaped by the force of a strong wind . A little more force and they would have fallen .
Shao Xuan couldn’t see it clearly because all around him, it was too dark .
As Shao Xuan chased after the sound, he suddenly heard a rough “shhh” sound in front of him . It sounded like a creature was chewing something really fast . Occasionally there were sounds of grass and leaves being torn off .
Shao Xuan wanted to take a closer look, but the figure quickly escaped again and ran as fast as it could into the woods nearby . It took a rest from time to time, and as it rested, Shao Xuan could hear it chewing again .

Suddenly, Shaoxuan’s muscles tensed up as he sensed danger . In front of him where the chewing sound came from, a pair of green bright eyes looked directly at him . .
He couldn’t determine how those eyes looked, but he sensed its murderous intention . Before Shao Xuan could think, the pair of eyes in the dark looked down, but the killing intent grew more intense
Shao Xuan realised he couldn’t move a muscle when he saw the figure charge in his direction .
Amidst the dark night, it felt as if something like a sharp sword was flying rapidly in his direction . It was as if he would be stabbed in the next moment .
Whoosh!
Shao Xuan sat up with his eyes open wide . He almost felt the pain of being stabbed by the sharp blade . The dream was still fresh in his mind, and it made his muscles stiff with tension .
"What's wrong, Shao Xuan?" Mai, Duo Kang and others next to him asked as they heard his movements .
During the day, the assumptions Shao Xuan made after analyzing the trap made most of them unable to fall asleep . They were thinking of all sorts of things . Even the four other members from the Flaming Horn tribe couldn’t sleep . Even if they slept, they couldn’t sleep well .
Shao Xuan’s movements were too sudden, and everyone who was almost dozing off suddenly became alarmed . They thought they were being ambushed .
“It’s nothing,” Shao Xuan raised his hand and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead . He was panting a little anxiously .

“It didn’t seem like it was nothing,” someone inside the cave said . It was a man from the Thousand Masks tribe .
Shao Xuan ignored him and said to Duo Kang, “It was just a dream . ”
Other people in the cave heard Shao Xuan’s words and thought that Shao Xuan had probably thought too much in the day . Overthinking causes one to have dreams at night . He probably had a nightmare . They never knew Shao Xuan was such a coward .
Seeing Shao Xuan lying down again like he was going back to sleep, the others didn’t ask anymore . It was just a nightmare . Who never had one before? Especially after they entered Fearsome Beast Forest . Many of them dreamed about being eaten by a beast and swallowed by weird plants, but those dreams only lasted for a while . After some time, they got used to the forest and had fewer dreams . After all, all those who came were the stronger members of each tribe . Their mental strength was strong enough .
Knowing that Shao Xuan could be scared awake by nightmares, the other young warriors felt more at ease . Even Shao Xuan had these times, they thought happily .
However, the four others from the Flaming Horns were extremely worried .
They had been through enough to know that Shao Xuan’s dreams were not just any ordinary dreams .
That year when they followed the leading team on a hunt, Shao Xuan dreamt of the green thief . When they were at sea, Shao Xuan dreamt of his ancestors . He dreamt of where they could cross the sea . All those details in his dreams guided them and gave them many hints throughout their adventures together .
Now, when they heard Shao Xuan say that it was a dream, the four members from the Flaming Horn tribe wanted to ask about it, but they realised there were others in the cave, so they didn’t ask .
Because Shao Xuan did this, the four Flaming Horn members stayed wide awake that night . The others in the cave could sense that the Flaming Horns were feeling uneasy .
Under the earth in the cave, an unknown creature started moving . The sound passed through the rocks under the cave and came to their ears . Those creatures did not come close to them and weren’t a threat at all, yet they were perturbed .

In the forest outside the cave, a beast roared in the night . In the middle of the night, there were still creatures out preying and killing .
Shao Xuan opened his eyes and stared into the darkness of the cave . The woods at night were slightly cool, and the warmth that came from the stone ground inside the cave calmed him down . As he recalled every single detail in his dream and replayed it in his mind, he took a mental note .
The green-faced fanged beast? Was that creature in his dream the green-faced fanged beast?
It was just a pity that in the dream, not only could he not see clearly, but there was also a layer of mist surrounding him, so no matter what type of vision he used, he wouldn’t be able to see the details clearly . All he could see were the outlines of figures and his surroundings .
This place was clearly different from any other place he’d been to .
For the rest of the night, Shao Xuan kept recalling the details he saw in his dream . He also remembered the clear murderous intent that he sensed .
If it was really a green-faced fanged beast in his dream, then it was clear why they were so hard to catch . They moved way too fast and had powerful attacks . They were also extremely cautious . No wonder why they were so hard to catch .
Shao Xuan had already searched for this entire mountain where they were resting . Judging by memory, the place in his dream was not here .
If it wasn’t here, where was it?
The next day, after a simple breakfast, the tribes split up and started working again .
The five members of the Flaming Horn tribe didn’t talk much and just followed Shao Xuan . They knew that Shao Xuan must have discovered something .
