Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

The Firepower Squad is fine, Xu Lang had already sent them into the Hundred Ghosts Layer in advance!

The Evil Furry Grain is fine, Xu Lang had already sent it into the Hundred Ghosts Layer in advance!

The Guardian Spirits are fine, those little guys don’t have very refined bodies, gravity is simply physical damage, and they can withstand it!

After all, Xu Lang had seen the script before. Although the script information was vague, he could still predict enough to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

As for the Dreamlike Night-Blooming Cereus… this was truly beyond Xu Lang.

The conditions for nurturing the Dreamlike Night-Blooming Cereus are extremely harsh. Once removed from the Spirit Field it withers quickly, and the Spirit Field is part of the dorm, so it can’t be moved into Infinite Purgatory.

Zhen Lu looked at the Spirit Field that had been crushed, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Besides the Dreamlike Night-Blooming Cereus, this place contained many crops for the Demon King Castle’s self-sufficiency and high-quality plants that improved air quality.

Although not critically important, she had poured a lot of care into them.

“It’s okay.” Xu Lang patted Zhen Lu’s shoulder, trying to comfort her, “As long as the seeds are still intact, they can be cultivated again.”

“But they’re all dead…” Zhen Lu was in deep distress, crouching down completely.

Xu Lang asked quickly, “Are you feeling unwell? Get back to bed.”

Thirty times gravity pressed on him, and he felt uncomfortable too.

Zhen Lu’s physical stats were definitely not as good as his.

“Waaah!” Zhen Lu burst into tears.

Xu Lang was startled. Zhen Lu was a Beast Spirit Envoy, not a plant walker, and yet she cared so deeply about plants.

Had she really become a forest Druid?

“Zhen Lu, what’s wrong…” Cao Yaxuan came over at the sound.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was slightly flushed, the heavy gravity making her uncomfortable. This kind of gravity was almost impossible to negate or isolate; you could only tough it out with Constitution.

“It’s just that I suddenly felt…” Zhen Lu tried to explain the welling sorrow in her heart.

At that moment, a surging Sequence power suddenly erupted around her. The floor, already damaged by the gravity, shattered piece by piece under the force, like falling dominoes!

Cao Yaxuan’s expression changed drastically, and a flood of animal imagery flashed through her mind.

Lions roaring, tigers leaping, leopards lunging, deer bleating, eagles screaming into the sky…

“No way…” Cao Yaxuan’s mouth trembled, “You’re advancing?”

This was the sign of Zhen Lu’s Sequence advancement!

Cao Yaxuan had never experienced it and didn’t know how dangerous it could be.

Xu Lang had experienced it in reality, so he immediately took out three jade pendants and put them around Zhen Lu’s neck, while also taking out a Healing Potion to mend the body that had been stretched and torn by the force.

At this moment Zhen Lu’s body was extremely abnormal; all sorts of feline and canine, scaled and horned phenomena vied for dominance over her body.

This Sequence advancement was sudden; Zhen Lu had no prior preparation, so it was particularly perilous. If mishandled, she could be completely lost.

Zhen Lu’s transformation came too fast. Cao Yaxuan had been delighted one second and filled with worry the next, shouting, “What can I do to help?!”

Xu Lang didn’t answer.

He was also thinking about what to do for Zhen Lu.

The imagery around Zhen Lu didn’t abate; it intensified. His own mind filled with visions of wild beasts—if his Spirit attribute weren’t strong, he might have felt an urge to howl like a wolf!

The advancement imagery was so violent it had become reality!

In the courtyard, animals began calling, animal images appearing everywhere, eagles and phoenixes flying, the scene utterly chaotic!

This had not happened in the Simulation Dream.

He didn’t know whether he had overlooked it before or whether the butterfly effect had generated this new change.

“Get her to the bed first, the gravity outside is too intense!”

Amid the chaos, a cold, calm voice cut through.

The speaker was Wang Yazhi.

Now she stood at the courtyard gate, her face deadly serious.

Zhen Lu’s advancement was dangerous enough; being in the high-gravity environment was like pouring oil on a fire.

Hearing that, Xu Lang didn’t hesitate. He forced his way through the animal visions and scooped Zhen Lu up.

In that instant, it felt as if he too were experiencing the Beast Spirit Envoy’s advancement!

“Am I really human?”

“According to evolution theory, humans evolved from monkeys!”

“So I am a monkey!”

All sorts of strange knowledge surged through Xu Lang’s mind. If he hadn’t had experience, he might have been lost then as well.

The distance from the rear yard to the Nightmare Bed was by no means short, after all Demon King Castle was large.

Fortunately Xu Lang was fast, and in less than ten seconds he reached the Nightmare Bed.

“What’s wrong with Sister Zhen Lu?” Chi Qingman cried out in alarm.

Ayiguli and the others were equally shocked.

Zhen Lu seemed like a contamination source.

“Everyone clear out!” Xu Lang barked, pushing Zhen Lu onto the center of the Nightmare Bed.

The Nightmare Bed’s function took effect instantly!

Comfort, comfort, comfort!

Beds are for sealing away fatigue and letting people rest; whatever the problem, a sleep can make it pass.

This was humanity’s last refuge; however small a home, there would always be a bed.

Although some people might be so comfortable they slept themselves to death, Zhen Lu certainly wasn’t that type.

Once lying on the Nightmare Bed, her raging Sequence power began to calm, her aura gradually returning to normal.

Of course it wasn’t completely normal!

The Sequence power was still flowing—yes, flowing, not rampaging!

Xu Lang’s pupils contracted sharply. The advancement hadn’t been halted; instead, it continued very smoothly.

“This is what it is…” Zhen Lu looked dazed, staring at her hands, crying and laughing at once with a kind of ecstatic feeling as if she had reached the pinnacle of understanding and could die content.

“Zhen Lu, is your mind normal?” Wang Yazhi asked.

“I should be normal, right…” Zhen Lu’s answer was vague.

Xu Lang’s Nightmare Eye probed Zhen Lu’s condition, and he also used Dorm Owner privileges to check her SAN value.

Currently Zhen Lu’s SAN value was around 60, and it was rising.

“What are you talking about?” Cao Yaxuan swept in like a blizzard and lay down on the Nightmare Bed.

“Do you understand the feeling of a top student? That metaphor isn’t quite right, it’s just that—” Zhen Lu bit her lip, suddenly covering her reddened cheeks with her hands and collapsing onto the bed, crying out in a coquettish voice, “It’s like I suddenly understand all knowledge, as if a university professor poured all his experience into me. I feel godlike! I know everything!”

Senior Sister Red Butterfly sneered, “That’s just being too happy and babbling nonsense. She acts so obedient normally, but she’s actually a lunatic!”

Everyone was a little stunned by Zhen Lu’s change, but they could see she was no longer in danger.

“Lang Ge, what’s wrong with you?” Tong Qi noticed Xu Lang looked a bit off and asked quietly.

Xu Lang’s face was taut, “Tong Qi, what’s the difficult part of Sequence advancement?”

“When Sequence power surges and the Sequence Holder cannot withstand it, they become lost and lose control,” Tong Qi replied honestly.

“What does that process feel like?” Xu Lang asked.

“Extremely painful, unless you are deeply compatible with the Sequence and have profound understanding and cognition of it.” Tong Qi said this with a touch of pride.

She and the Ghost Controller were indeed highly compatible.

“Then what is the main function of our bed?”

“To make people comfortable.”

“From now on, we’ll have Sequence advancements on the bed… I think I’ve found it, the perfect advancement method!” Xu Lang’s voice trembled slightly, that tremble was suppressed excitement.

He remembered once when the Nightmare Bed had a major breakthrough and he had to sleep three days.

At the time he thought it was a ritual with no other meaning.

But now it occurred to him that that major breakthrough might have carried risk, and lying on the Nightmare Bed had been to offset that risk…

—The Nightmare Bed can offset the loss-of-control risk that comes with the Nightmare Lord’s advancement!

If this hypothesis was correct, then the Nightmare Bed was truly a Sequence artifact. Even if it didn’t generate Nightmare Coins, it would be more precious than any Mythical or Legendary item, priceless!

If it could offset the Nightmare Lord’s advancement risk, what about ordinary Sequences?

Ordinary Sequence Holders lying on the Nightmare Bed could advance without risk!

He had worried about the Scarlet Shepherd’s advancement and the risk of holding dual Sequences, but now those two problems seemed solved!

At this moment, the joy in Xu Lang’s heart matched the thrill he felt when he found a counter to Mad King Building during simulation!
