"Nightmare? A bad dream?" Ysera's eyes widened.
"That's right. The first victim should have been the druid Naralex. It's only on a very small scale right now and can't cause much impact, so it's normal that you didn't notice. The enemy isn't in a hurry to succeed."
Ysera pondered for a moment, then seemed to think of something. "Ah! I remember now. Recently, some of my green dragons have occasionally discovered small patches of corrupted land. The trees, grass, and everything else there have turned a withered blackish-red! I thought it was caused by mortals' nightmares while sleeping, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
Hu Feng nodded. "That's right, it's that kind of energy. If the future I know is correct, its source is Sargoth, along with the World Tree Saladashir that merged with him. It should be called the Nightmare Tree now."
"Sargoth? Wasn't he already dealt with by Malfurion... Oh, I understand! If that's the case, then the Emerald Dream is like an unguarded delicious cake!" Ysera was initially puzzled, then suddenly understood, her face finally filling with worry.
"So this time, I'll also see if I can find the entrance where Sargoth invaded from, seal it off, and completely sever his connection with the Nightmare Tree."
Ysera immediately nodded. "I will assist you with all my strength, Father God. If you wish to track it... I think entering a dream would be a good method."
Hu Feng rode Ysera... Ahem, rode Ysera in her dragon form as she flew swiftly through the air. They soon arrived at where Ysera lived: beneath a magnificent great tree. At the base of its roots was a massive cave, where Ysera usually slept soundly.
After entering the cave, Ysera waved her hand, and a soft elven-style bed appeared in the center. Hu Feng walked over, sat on the bed, and looked at Ysera. "Ysera, once I enter the dream, help me monitor things at all times. I'm not as sensitive to nightmare power as you are. If necessary, enter my dream promptly and inform me."
Ysera nodded at his words. Hu Feng lay down on the bed, feeling somewhat awkward. Having a sexy elf standing beside the bed staring at you without blinking would make anyone uncomfortable.
However, under Ysera's guidance, Hu Feng quickly sank into a dream.
It was a familiar room. Outside the window stood a noisy forest of steel, while streams of cars moved like ants along the road below.
In his dream, Hu Feng returned to Earth, to his own little room. He looked around his small home nostalgically. It seemed he had nearly forgotten these things, forgotten the life he had once lived on Earth. Only the name Hu Feng still constantly reminded him who he was and where he had come from.
He turned on the computer and looked at the familiar Baidu page. A front-page news article caught his attention. A new game called "World of Warcraft" was becoming popular around the globe. Its slogan read: Join the world of Azeroth and do what you've never done before. Hu Feng opened the official website and took a look, only to realize that it was the world he was currently in. Perhaps he had played too many games in his past life, causing his memories of Azeroth to manifest in the form of a game within his dream.
Hu Feng then tried searching for various scientific knowledge. He discovered that aside from the little he already knew, everything else displayed a page-not-found error. Hu Feng curled his lip. It seemed he, as a transmigrator, couldn't shoulder the responsibility of developing all kinds of technology in this world...
When he looked up at the window, he found that night had fallen at some unknown point. Apart from the glow of the computer screen, the entire room had become pitch-black. He got up to turn on the lights, but nothing happened. The computer screen also began flickering wildly as if it had malfunctioned. Hu Feng froze for a moment, then understood. The nightmare had probably begun.
Just then, the computer screen suddenly emitted a crackling electric sound, and the image changed into a female ghost dressed in white. Her face was obscured by long black hair. Hu Feng instantly felt his balls ache. Damn it, even Sadako showed up...
Sadako began crawling out of the screen and toward Hu Feng. When he saw that she was less than a meter away, he immediately cast Ice Nova.
Nothing happened.
What the hell! What's going on? Did I become an ordinary person again while dreaming? You can't play me like this! Cold sweat immediately poured down Hu Feng's face.
Sadako reached Hu Feng, stood up as if she had teleported, and grabbed him by the throat. A choking sensation swept over him.
Then came another wave of agonizing pain as one of Sadako's hands stabbed directly into Hu Feng's chest.
Fuck, am I going to die for the first time in a dream?
Hu Feng desperately tried to break free. Something seemed to respond to him, and the sensation of glass shattering entered his mind. Hu Feng suddenly felt his connection to the Titan Core again, and endless power returned to his body. Black void energy violently spread outward. Sadako let out a shriek and frantically retreated, then transformed into a cloud of blackish-red smoke and fled through the window. The sky rippled and twisted, and a surge of emerald-green energy suddenly appeared as Ysera attempted to block the nightmare's escape.
Hu Feng reached out with his right hand, and the Origin of Divine Power, Azeroth Binder appeared in it. He then flew out through the window as well, chasing after the nightmare's power.
The dream began to shatter. The city below descended into panic and chaos. The blackish-red nightmare feinted, slipping past Ysera's restraint, and fled into the distance like lightning. Hu Feng abruptly accelerated and pursued it closely. The scenery around him changed rapidly as one dream after another flashed past. Hu Feng saw the dreams of many people, some familiar and some unfamiliar.
In Elisande's dream, she was having a nightmare. Her dream-self drifted with Suramar City toward the Broken Isles. Countless years later, for Suramar's continued existence, she submitted to the Burning Legion, thereby drawing a group of greedy adventurers to attack Suramar. At that moment, Elisande was fighting fiercely against the adventurers. Many had already fallen to the ground, wailing as they died. Hmm... it looked like Elisande was about to wipe out this entire group of adventurers. Did that count as a nightmare?
The spider matriarch Nalthara was having a sweet dream. She was happily laying eggs, more and more, more and more, more and more... Ahem, next one.
In Alleria's dream, she and Hu Feng were quietly strolling through Eversong Woods at night. Neither of them spoke; they simply enjoyed that moment in silence.
After passing through endless dreams, the blackish-red nightmare energy was within reach. Hu Feng raised his staff, and an Arcane Cage flew toward the nightmare.
However, the existence controlling the nightmare seemed extremely cunning and decisive. Seeing that escape was impossible, it immediately chose to disperse itself, forcibly severing its connection to all nightmare energy in the Emerald Dream. The trail abruptly went cold.
