Seeing this, I hurriedly pushed Li Zhisheng aside and grabbed the still-sleeping Hu Fang, shaking her vigorously. "Hey! Hu Fang! Hu Fang..."
As I called out, Hu Fang slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw me, she lunged at me in terror, crying out, "There are bugs! So many bugs!"
At that moment, a centipede that had crawled out of her mouth was flung onto me due to her sudden movement. Behind us, Li Zhisheng, whom I had just pushed away, quickly grabbed my shirt and shook it violently, causing the centipede to fall to the ground. He then stomped on it with a loud smack, turning it into mush.
I gently pushed Hu Fang away from my embrace. Seeing her face streaked with tears, I comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. You just had a nightmare..."
"No! You don't understand! This dream felt so real! That bug hurt me!" Hu Fang spoke rapidly, fearing I wouldn't believe her.
"Calm down. Slowly tell me what you dreamed about," I asked anxiously.
"Bugs! A whole bunch of bugs..." She gestured with her hands as she continued, "I had just fallen asleep when I found myself in a pitch-black place. Then a ton of huge bugs appeared—much bigger than me! They started chasing me, and I ran for my life. But as a weak girl, how could I outrun them? Soon enough, they caught up to me and hurt me..."
"And then what happened?"
"Just when they were about to eat me, an old woman suddenly appeared and protected me. Then you woke me up." As she spoke, I could clearly see the fear still etched on her face.
"An old woman? Do you know who she was?" I asked while thinking to myself, "I encountered the Void Spirit within me in my dream, while Hu Fang met an old woman. Could this old woman be the Void Spirit within Hu Fang? But I've never heard of Hu Fang having a Void Spirit; what could this mean?"
I kept my confusion to myself because I knew that even if I voiced it, Hu Fang might not understand. So I patiently waited for her response.
Hu Fang pondered for a moment. "I can't remember. She seemed familiar to me, but it was so dark that I couldn't see what she looked like at all. All I know is that she felt very comforting, almost like someone I had met before..." She fell into deep thought.
After hearing this, I turned to glance at Li Zhisheng and saw him shake his head at me, seemingly just as puzzled as I was. Just then, we noticed Yao Long leaning against the sofa suddenly twitching but not waking up.
I silently cursed under my breath; it seemed Yao Long might have also dreamed of something similar to us. Quickly, I urged Hu Fang to sit on the sofa while I went over to wake Yao Long.
Due to Yao Long's heightened alertness, the moment I touched him, he sprang up from the sofa, immediately adopting a defensive stance, ready to confront any threat.
"What, what's wrong?!" I exclaimed, also getting to my feet. I quickly stepped back a few paces and turned to see what Yao Long was looking at.
After surveying the surroundings, Yao Long relaxed his stance and said, "No, it's nothing. I just got a bit too tense."
"Did you see something in your dream?!" I asked.
"I saw what you all saw..." Yao Long replied.
For a moment, I couldn't comprehend his words and thought I had misheard him. I repeated what he said, "You saw what we saw? What do you mean?"
Hearing my question, Yao Long scratched his head, seemingly unsure of how to explain. At that moment, Li Zhisheng chimed in, having understood: "You mean you dreamt about Shen Xu and Hu Fang's dreams? Is that right?"
Yao Long nodded. "Yes, that's it. I saw you being chased by a swarm of poisonous insects. Shen Xu was saved by a man in white, while Hu Fang was rescued by an old woman with white hair. Is that correct?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Fang and I exchanged glances and replied in unison, "Yes, that's right!"
"But why is your dream different from Hu Fang's and Shen Xu's?" Li Zhisheng muttered to himself.
I pondered for a moment and said, "Doesn't Yao Long have the Worm King within him? Perhaps that's the key... It seems we need to find the village Yao Long mentioned as soon as possible. This time we have the protection of the Void Spirit, but will we be so lucky next time? We might end up facing the same fate as the hotel owner."
Upon hearing that we needed to find the village quickly, Yao Long grew anxious. "Weren't we supposed to look for Mr. Death first? Why are we suddenly going to find the village instead? What about Mr. Death?!"
"Yao Long, it's not that I don't want to save the Death Apostle. I'm just as worried about him being missing; I want to know if he's safe as soon as possible. But look at our situation... We're inexplicably entangled with this Worm King now. Just sleeping could put us in danger, and we don't even know what side effects this thing might have. If we recklessly rush to find the Death Apostle and encounter someone from Yang Master’s side, wouldn't that put us in even greater peril?!"
"Moreover, if what Haoyang left you in that note is true and the Death Apostle is safe now, then rushing to find him would only waste everyone's time. By then, not just you but also Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng could end up perishing at the hands of this damned Worm King!"
Yao Long was speechless by what I said. He couldn't find a reason to argue for a while, but he wanted to confirm the life and death of Death Apostle in a hurry. He was scratching his head and head in a hurry. "In that case, let's do this..." At this time, Li Zhisheng interjected: "We will divide our troops into two groups, one side will go to find Death Apostle, and the other side will go to the village to find Miao Gu. This way, we can do it. Reducing the number of people traveling together makes it easier to hide. "Isn't this unsafe..." Hu Fang looked a little worried. "Well, maybe this is the best way. Yao Long and I will go find Miao Gu, and you and Hu Fang will stay and go find Death Apostle. As soon as either party finds out the news, they will be notified immediately The other party..." After hearing my suggestion, Yao Long had no choice but to nod in agreement. After all, he must personally lead the way to find Miao Gu, otherwise we would never be able to find him with just his words. "Then it's settled. Let's make arrangements tomorrow and set off as early as possible..." After the agreement was completed, no one dared to sleep again, but kept chatting until dawn...
