Chapter 422 - 224 Broken Island Residents
Alka gazed at the scene before him. Densely packed Dream Bubbles of Intelligent Life were piled up together, spreading out and causing the number of dream creatures here to be far greater than in other places.
Even with a casual glance, he could spot numerous monsters similar to the Dream Death God and the shadowy giant from before.
Essentially, all the seemingly powerful monsters in the vicinity had gathered here.
Evidently, for these relatively strong dream creatures, the Dream Bubbles of Intelligent Life were far more alluring.
This area was practically their hunting grounds.
Looking out, he could almost ascertain that, sustained by these Dream Bubbles of Intelligent Life, some kind of ecosystem within the Dream Realm had formed here.
Surrounding these Dream Bubbles of Intelligent Life were also many animal Dream Bubbles.
It seemed these were animals raised by the Intelligent Life.
Alka observed, constantly drawing conclusions.
First was the size of these Dream Bubbles. He had already observed them on the Homeland Sea, noting the Dream Bubbles of those around him as well as others.
He clearly understood the differences between the Dream Bubbles of ordinary people and those of the Touched, and how Dream Bubbles changed based on individual strength.
Most of the Dream Bubbles before him had reached a size equivalent to one to two Spirals, accounting for about 95 percent of all Dream Bubbles.
In other words, among these thousands of Dream Bubbles, not a single one belonged to an ordinary person.
These individuals all possessed some degree of power.
A small portion of the Dream Bubbles had reached the Second Stage.
This so-called small portion, Alka quickly counted, numbered thirty or forty.
These are only the ones asleep; perhaps there are many more awake individuals outside, Alka mused. Indeed, this is truly worthy of the Endless Sea. A settlement of Intelligent Life on a randomly encountered small island has so many strong individuals. In the Endless Sea, those who can survive will naturally grow into the Touched.
As for the difference between naturally grown Touched and those who became Touched through a Treasure, Alka didn’t know.
He would only be able to understand more later.
Moreover, among them, Alka also saw several gigantic Dream Bubbles.
The size of these Dream Bubbles was larger than his own.
For Dream Bubbles of such size, Alka was unsure of the exact strength they represented.
But at the very least, they surpassed the Second Stage.
Currently, on the ship, those whose strength has reached the Second Stage, aside from myself and Julia, also include the two newest arrivals. Simon’s strength is at Seven Spirals. Matilda’s strength, like Julia’s, is at Six Spirals. The next person likely to reach the Second Stage should be Pororo; the storm trial significantly enhanced his power. Although his current strength appears somewhat unstable, it is continuously ascending.
Retracting his thoughts, Alka chose a Dream Bubble.
Based on the size of this Dream Bubble, its owner’s strength was roughly at the level of Three Spirals.
He casually eliminated the creatures outside the Dream Bubble, considering it payment for entering its owner’s dream to investigate.
He quietly poked his head inside. A dense forest stretched out before him. Alka took a brief stroll. Apart from the dense forest, the only other feature was a pointed-roof wooden house in the center of the dream.
Calling it a house was perhaps an overstatement; it was more like a triangular, tent-like structure. These dwellings were not the rectangular ones with separate roofs that Alka often saw.
Rather, they were triangular, built like tents.
It seemed such a construction was more stable and conserved wood.
Animal bones decorated the area around the house, giving off a primitive aura.
Outside the house, a humanoid creature was whittling a wooden stick.
Alka quietly floated over.
This humanoid creature looked up at Alka, then lowered its head and continued its task, just like all dreamers.
Alka looked at the person before him. It was clear he belonged to a special Race, as his skin was pale gray and his eyes were entirely red.
Not a blood-like crimson, but a fiery orange-red, as if flames perpetually burned within them.
Besides that, there were some unknown totem patterns on his body.
He looked like a savage dwelling deep within the jungle, yet his attire suggested otherwise.
Although his upper body was bare, his lower half was clad in leather-like shorts.
He also wore a pair of hunting boots suitable for moving through the woods.
All this indicated he was no savage. Savages wouldn’t possess such fine sewing skills.
Watching the person’s actions, Alka contemplated his questions. Fortunately, the one thing he didn’t need to consider was whether the person before him could understand his speech. In the Dream Realm, there are no language barriers. Language is just a simple means of expression; regardless of the language one speaks, the other party can understand, and vice versa.
After thinking for a while, Alka asked, "Are you going hunting for something?"
This question was based on the person’s current behavior. Through it, Alka hoped to gather some potentially useful information. Primarily, he aimed to analyze the range of questions people within the Dream Realm could accept.
