The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 601 450: Crow Farm

——System prompt: Warning! Your team has entered "Hunter's" Dream Space under the leadership of a High Tier Dragon Soul Nightmare, be sure to face it with full strength.

The scene changes, surroundings darken, crow caws abound, Chun and his group appear in a vast wilderness where the weeds are taller than people, and the nearby farmhouse is in ruins.

With a severely obstructed view, Chun hastily climbs onto Mina's Dragon back.

At that moment, countless crows suddenly fly out from the weeds, their numbers blocking out the sun, their flapping wings like thunder!

Seeing that they come with bad intentions, likely to use swarm tactics to besiege, Chun decides swiftly: "Mina, ascend first, fly to the limit height!"

After all, he just watched Sherry use a Space Explorer in combat video. Previously, he took Sherry on a Space Explorer to fly above the Alternate Space jungle, bombing the insect swarm from above at extreme heights.

Mina immediately leaps and flaps her wings to take off: "I also want to see what my Dragon transformation's height limit is!"

And with the Dragon's ascent, the surrounding crows indeed come to besiege like a whirlwind of black clouds!

Mina promptly activates the Soul Artifact's Fear Aura to drive them away, instantly forming a vacuum area around them—very effective!

And the higher they fly, the fewer crows surround them until Chun bumps into the sky's dark clouds, bounces, and can't go any higher—Holy Shit, an air wall!

But at this height, they have already eliminated most of the threat from the crows.

Mina hovers high above, spewing a large cloud of black mist like spraying insecticide.

Chun rarely encounters the chance to deal with these little things, and he really wants to test the effect of the Whale Roar enhanced by "Master of Ultrasound" and "Leviathan's Power," so he lets out a straight Whale Roar!

Even if it can't kill them on the spot, as long as it stuns them into losing flight control, making them fall would be good enough. Just not sure if using Time Freeze at high altitude would make them fall?

Sure enough, the black cloud of crows below plunges downward!

Feeling quite relieved!

But in the next moment, the black cloud starts to gather into a cluster, and faintly, a gigantic crow way bigger than the Dragon is about to appear!

Holy Shit, can something this big even fly?

Chun acts quickly, taking out a clock—once the clock chimes, Time Freeze!

The crows' gathering speed suddenly halts! The situation where they'd fall mid-air under time freeze didn't happen as imagined.

Mina seizes the moment for a dive, pouncing on the not yet fully formed giant crow's back to tear and bite, continuing to spray black mist for marking.

Under the suppression of the Divine Artifact, without suspense, the crow swarm collapses into endless black smoke, bursting out a crystal-bright black light!

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have acquired the Essence of Dreams "Crow Nightmare."

Essence in hand, like the previous "Dragon Soul Fear," it has no attributes. But Dragon Soul Fear is available to all 12 Young Dragons, enough to form two Soul Artifacts. Such Crow Nightmares are unlikely to be everywhere, making combinations impossible, a bit of regret there.

Mina overjoyed: "Master, so much Power of Nightmare!"

Chun gladly responds: "Then hurry up and absorb it!"

So Mina hovers in the air "Dream-Chasing," while Chun and Mei land at the farmhouse entrance looking for the Dream Master.

Calling out a few times for "Mr. Hunter," no response. Well, with such a big ruckus just now and still no appearance, either he's scared faint, or this is a surface Dream Realm, plus the Dream Master was deeply hypnotized by Mei, he's possibly in a deep dream?

Chun cautiously searches inside the house.

The house's walls collapse into openings, allowing a clear view of several rows of rooms beyond.

After circling around, nothing. It seems the Dream Master should be in the deep dream.

This is tricky. Previously entering was into the Baron of the Hospital's deep dream, relying on mimicking Dragon calls. Could it be crow calls here? But that can't be right; last time, the Dragon call awakened the Dragon Mother in the deep dream. Here can't possibly have a Crow Mother, could it?

Finally, Mina finishes absorbing the black smoke and reports: "Master, even though we vanquished the Nightmare creatures here, this Dream Realm remains stable, indicating the true source of fear hasn't vanished; it's within his deep dream."

Chun promptly asks: "Can we find the deep dream?"

Mina sighs: "I kept looking just now, but couldn't find it. Perhaps leaving the current dream, but doing so might mean directly exiting."

Well, a deep dream is called deep for a reason: it's hard to find.

Regardless, they've absorbed the Power of Nightmare and found an Essence of Dreams, so there's some gain. But compared to before, it feels insufficient and much less worthy! But even going out, it's still early before others sleep at night, likely wasting time. Might as well continue to dig here—dig?

Chun suddenly realizes: "This scene is likely the fear left by the Dream Master facing the crow swarm back then, right? A normal person's first reaction would definitely be to hide back inside, then find the house is unguardable, so they'd head to the basement, right?"

Mei says: "We turned around before and didn't find any basement!"

Could it be a secret compartment like under an inn's carpet? Holy Shit! I have Earth Vein Perception ability!

Chun lies directly on the floor, activating the ability—system prompt: Unfortunately! The current space is a Dream Space, doesn't fit Earth Vein Perception's operation rules!

Ah, right! This is a dream. How could the dream world have earth veins?

Mei recalls something: "This dream farmhouse is different from the outside one, outside the farmhouse has a grain storage warehouse, does this place not have one?"

An underground granary!? So, the granary is destroyed, buried under weed taller than a person? But there's no ruin either?

Chun, recalling the impression, arrives at the farmhouse's general exterior location: "It should be here, Mina, dig up the ground!"

"Okay!"

But the more Chun examines the farmhouse, the more different it seems from the outside one, like there's no mountain in the distant outside farmhouse here! Could it be the farmhouse in the dream isn't in the same place as the one outside?

But Mina indeed made a discovery: "Master, there's a cellar! Seems like it's for hiding wine!"

Holy Shit!

Chun uncovers the cellar cover, revealing a Spatial Gate!

"Found it!"

Mina hesitates: "Master, I'm too big to enter!"

Uh, that's indeed…can cancel the Dragon transformation? But no player can resist the allure of a hidden Spatial Gate.

Chun says: "Don't worry, Master is now full of Spirit, not considered weak in the Dream Realm. I'll go inside and look first, just wait for me."

Mei is even more eager: "No worries, I'm here!"

Indeed, Mei is my backup for messing around with her, a blessing from the Sea God Water Ball makes escaping no issue.

Enter!

——System prompt: You have entered Hunter's deep dream!

The scene changes, Chun appears in a basement, with many barrels of wine indeed placed there.

A drunken farmer looks at Chun in terror: "You—I, I'll hand over the farm then!"
