Chapter 812 - 550: Plaster Pursuer
"So... this is what they mean by ’dream abilities’."
Li Pu finally understood.
He didn’t dream often, but there was a nightmare that he occasionally had.
That was being smacked on the head by his grandpa.
Every time he got hit, he would wake up from the dream in shock.
After his powers grew stronger, the frequency of this dream decreased.
Hmm, it’s because he got stronger, definitely not because he hadn’t seen him for a long time.
"This ability looks quite strong; what’s your ability then?"
This made him curious about Fu Fu’s dream ability.
[Quiet, quiet, quiet!]
Fu Fu said it didn’t know and immediately performed it.
However, its dream ability wasn’t targeting any specific target.
Pop~
With a thought, a bubble-like light screen appeared above the room.
When the light screen appeared, he found his neck uncontrollably raised up.
Inside the light screen was a pale yellowish white.
It felt like a membrane was blocking the light from the outside.
If it were someone else, they might not recognize it.
But having been a dinosaur, Li Pu realized instantly.
This familiar feeling, it was a vision inside an egg.
But this eggshell seemed thinner than his at the time, allowing him to vaguely see the outlines of shadows outside.
Standing in front of the egg was a round-headed figure.
[My darling son, I’m here to see you~]
A deep voice echoed.
Li Pu knew right away who the voice belonged to.
One of the kung fu kings of the small kung fu world, Venerable Panda.
[Hu-husband, why are you here!]
Another voice he didn’t recognize, slightly panicked.
After exchanging a few words, the voice and figure of Venerable Panda faded away.
[He’s gone now, come out quickly, you rascal!]
The remaining voice softly called.
Then Li Pu saw a chubbier, more familiar shadow outline.
[Goodbye, my darling son~]
"Uh..."
The final words suddenly made a lot of things clear to him.
At this point, the light screen vanished, and Li Pu regained control of his neck.
[Quiet!]
Fu Fu: Master, this is my only memory from inside an egg, I dream of it often!
[Quiet quiet!]
Fu Fu: I don’t know why, but every time I dream it, it feels very warm!
Fu Fu explained this to Li Pu.
It had never met its parents, and this dream was its only memory of them.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
After listening to Fu Fu’s narration, Li Pu didn’t know what to say.
Someday, he’ll have to take Fu Fu back to the kung fu world and make that Round Penguin explain itself face-to-face.
From the phenomenon, he also observed the effect of Fu Fu’s dream ability.
It seemed similar to Bu Bu’s [Openly Swallow], capable of temporarily locking the opponent’s vision.
A control skill, though he didn’t know if it would be useful later.
With the ability test completed, Li Pu headed towards the door opposite the room.
Earlier, after the blue protective membrane appeared, he saw the door materializing out of thin air.
Other than that, there were mysterious texts engraved on the wall beside the door.
[The brave dislikes movements, the manual is forever heavy]
[Dare to guard the fire ring, seeking death for a strike]
[The name is direct expense, holding the back to pant]
[Double face points follow count, extinguish joy wave air]
"???"
After reading, Li Pu couldn’t understand it at all.
It was enigmatic, and the sentences didn’t make sense.
It felt like it might be a clue for the upcoming challenge, but he really couldn’t understand it.
"Forget it, let’s go in and take a look first."
He stood by the door for a while, waiting for the text to pop up.
But this time, it was unusually clean, no text appeared even after a long wait.
So he reached out to push the door, and only then did some words show up.
[The next room is in free mode]
[There will be no more text prompts or options]
"So that’s how it is."
Li Pu finally understood.
[Quiet quiet!]
Fu Fu flapped its little wings, indicating it would do well this time and demonstrate its special training results.
"Don’t forget, we’re only in a mortal body now."
Li Pu grumpily rubbed its belly.
It’s still best to be careful.
The stone door in front was huge and heavy, but it was actually touch-sensitive.
Even before his hand reached it, it slowly retracted from both sides, like the automatic doors in shopping malls.
The duo walked inside, and it slowly closed again.
"This atmosphere, it feels kind of grim."
The ambiance hit him, and Li Pu frowned.
Unlike the previous room, this was a passageway approximately 5 meters wide.
On both sides, there were rows of those temple-like Roman columns, with alternating adornments.
One was a dim yellow oil lamp, providing limited light.
Without [Night Vision], Li Pu could only rely on this light to find his way.
He looked up at the ceiling, but whether it was due to the dim light or the high ceiling, he saw nothing but darkness.
The other was a plaster statue proportional to a human.
All these statues were identical, and felt very familiar.
Because it was the renowned [The Thinker] from the old era on Blue Star.
He’d read about it in his middle school textbooks.
Only, in this setting, with so many [The Thinker] statues, it all felt eerie.
He scrutinized the environment, but Li Pu didn’t notice anything unusual apart from this.
"Let’s go, stay cautious."
