I Like This Dream!

On the evening of the third day, An Xu opened his eyes and felt uncomfortable.

Her head was groggy, like a bear just waking up from hibernation. The people next to him were chattering, but An Xu had no intention of listening or reacting. He let them pull him out of bed, dress him up, and put him on the carriage.

The only good news was that she wasn't hungry anymore.

Anxu felt neither hungry nor full. She was not sleepy, but she just couldn't muster the energy to face everything in front of her, like a robot lacking energy, or an office worker hanging on the bus early in the morning on a work day to relax his mind. In this way, she was led to the palace in a daze. She half-awake through the king's opening speech, and was finally pushed up to receive the title of knight in a daze. She was not the only one to receive a knighthood. Miss Anna's dull expression was regarded as excessive excitement and did not appear to be out of place among the row of quasi-knights.

Fortunately, the steps of the knighting ceremony are very simple. The associate knights knelt down, bowed their heads and recited the words of allegiance in unison (people who were in a daze here could also get away with it), and then the king gave some encouragement, and the servants distributed red ribbons, gold badges and white tail rings - symbolizing the blood of God and the white tail rings respectively. The hearts of kings and the bones of prophets. The associate knights put on the above items, and when the king used his sword to pass over their heads and left shoulders, the knighthood was completed.

Caleb was squeezing his sweat and kept staring at Miss Sullivan who was in a daze, praying that nothing unexpected would happen. He watched Miss Sullivan pass the oath of allegiance in the crowd, and with half-open eyes, she obediently asked the servant to put on the ribbon and badge for her, and finally pushed the small tail ring onto her little finger. Seeing this, Caleb could finally breathe a sigh of relief and felt that nothing would go wrong again.

He was happy too early.

An Xu's eyes blinked and slowly opened wide. Something stubbornly broke through the fog of chaos and entered her consciousness directly, even pulling her out of her own world.

She suddenly felt a strong appetite, and her senses returned instantly, causing her to raise her head suddenly, twitching her nose and looking around. Just like an animal that has fallen into hibernation due to lack of food, when it finds prey close at hand, all its reserve energy is instantly mobilized and used in a desperate search for food.

It only took less than a second for An Xu to discover the source of his appetite.

White tail ring.

It was a tail ring carved from the bones of an alien beast. Sullivan's initials were cleverly combined with the coat of arms of the Toland royal family, giving it a very simple beauty. But that's not the point. The point is that there is white powder inside the ring. An Xu brought his finger to his mouth and licked it.

Yes, that's it.

Caleb covered his mouth and almost jumped out of his seat. When he saw Sullivan's prospective master opened his mouth, he swallowed the tail ring in one gulp.

The king's sword was resting on the first quasi-sir, and everyone's eyes were focused there. For a moment, except for Caleb who stared nervously at Anxu, no one noticed what the third quasi-sir had done - who could I can imagine it! Besides, she is too fast! At this moment, she is not fighting alone. The great white shark that jumped up from the water and the Nile crocodile that discarded the camouflage of dead wood are with her. The hunting genes that have evolved over thousands of years are with her. Miss Sullivan's bite movements are so precise. So fast that one couldn't help but think it was a miracle she didn't bite her fingers off all together.

Caleb winked at her desperately, praying that this ancestor was just sleepy and would spit it out immediately if it tasted bad. Caleb himself couldn't believe this kind of self-consolation. He had seen Miss Sullivan chewing crystal cores in her sleep yesterday. Bones are harder to chew than crystal cores, right? He hoped in vain, only to see Miss Sullivan move her mouth, frown, her throat made a sound, and she swallowed the tail ring whole.

The king's sword rested on the shoulder of the second baronet, and Caleb nearly fainted.

If there is no accident, this matter will definitely be discovered, and the loss of the tail ring will be regarded as a serious disrespect for the royal family. But this was not as serious as Caleb feared, because the knighting ceremony was destined to fail to be completed.

"Alien beasts!" Someone from outside rolled in and shouted hysterically, "There are... alien beasts in the palace!"

The solemn ceremony was interrupted, and Richard II subconsciously wanted to scold him, but his expression changed before he could speak. The roar of wild beasts and the heavy vibration that made the earth begin to tremble came very quickly. The messenger who collapsed on the ground actually brought meaningless news.

But within a few breaths, people saw a tide of beasts spreading like black smoke from the window.

"Why are there strange beasts in the palace?" Richard II glared at the Royal Knights.

The nobles began to panic. The leader of the Royal Knights stuttered and said with a panicked expression: "The palace guards found nothing unusual..."

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Roland walked out of the crowd and interrupted the knight leader's explanation, "Do you want to bring back the troops stationed in Ulburg?"

Richard II glared at the derelict leader, nodded, opened the window, and threw his sword at the herd of beasts in the distance. The unopened ceremonial sword was wrapped by invisible force, spinning rapidly in mid-air, piercing the herd of beasts like a drill, piercing six or seven huge beasts along the way. The court entertainers immediately cheered, and the uneasy expressions of the nobles calmed down a lot because of this blow. The Royal Knights quickly gathered to defend the palace where 70% of the rulers of Armenan gathered. Roland began to organize the nobles to close their formation and prepare to evacuate.

The sound of weapons clashing sounded in vain in the hall, which had become more orderly.

Two figures fell out of the king's shadow, both holding short daggers favored by assassins. The daggers were glowing with a faint green light. In the blink of an eye, they had passed more than a dozen moves. Richard II rushed towards the largest candlestick and shouted: "Guards! Take down the traitor Ronald!"

Prince Ronald secretly cried out that it was a pity that the king had indeed prepared a shadow power user. He had no excuse. Richard II made it clear that he planned to take him down first regardless of whether there was evidence or not, and it was time for him to no longer need to cover up.

Countless shadows squirmed and turned into face-covered assassins. The superpowers on the prince's side swarmed towards the king and the king's important ministers. A wall of air rose up around Prime Minister Roland, and was immediately staggered by the successive assassins. They didn't care about gains and losses at all and focused on attacking, even if they were easily killed by the guards. Where do so many shadow powers come from? Roland's expression changed slightly. Has the Holy See reached the point of providing cannon fodder to the prince at any cost?

When the first batch of strange beasts rushed near the main hall, the situation fell into complete chaos.

This has nothing to do with An Xu.

She blended in with the crowd, her head lowered, and no one noticed the out of place look on her face. A certain kind of energy centered on her stomach and spread to every cell in her body. An Xu felt like a machine that had finally been refueled after a long period of dry burning, and her whole body felt comfortable.

Her fingers were twitching, her legs were shaking, and her bones were making cracking sounds. However, her body, which could not feel the pain, was unaware of this. She only saw the red dots appearing on the backs of her shoes. An Xu stretched out his hand to wipe away the nosebleed and pinched his nose until the blood stopped flowing. Then he raised his head and found that there was no one around him.

The melee between assassins and guards and the attack of alien beasts caused people to run away crying. When the disaster was imminent, even the royal family, which boasted of bleeding gold, behaved like ordinary people. Of course, those who were running away would not avoid An Xu, who was standing in the middle of the road, but when they bumped into this person blocking the way, their contact with each other's skin caused sharp pain like needle pricks. They hurriedly avoided it, like water split by a stubborn stone.

An Xu looked back and saw the figure of the slow runner without looking back. She turned her head back, and in front of her was the wall that had been smashed during the fight. Through the big hole, she saw the surging tide of beasts rushing towards it.

She walked towards the direction of the beast tide.

If Anxu was the Thunder Queen who once flashed thunder in the sky, even the beasts controlled by instinct would be able to feel her danger to some extent. But now An Xu looks like an ordinary person, with nothing strange about him, and a pair of calm light golden eyes. The only abnormality was her behavior of not retreating but advancing in the face of the beast tide.

The beast tide was getting closer and closer, and the fastest beast could already smell the subtle smell of blood on the girl's body, as well as something so delicious in the blood that it made its eyes turn red. The sickle weasel balled up its body and rolled towards the girl like a ball, leaving deep marks on the ground as it rolled, and even stones were shattered by its sickle-like claws. Once it collides with Kamaitachi, any flesh and blood body will be turned into pieces.

The gleaming spike ball hit Anxu, and then it disappeared.

The massive attack ended without any end, and even the other beasts competing with it for prey did not realize that the disaster was coming. They were only one step behind the sickle and weasel, disappearing in front of the girl one after another.

Only by slowing down time many times, recording it with a full-angle camera, and then showing it frame by frame can we understand what exactly happened. The alien beast rushed towards An Xu, the alien beast touched An Xu, and the part of the alien beast that touched An Xu disappeared inch by inch, as if it had rushed into a portal. Slowing down and zooming in a little further, you can see that there is a layer of electric light between the alien beast and Anxu. The electric light instantly destroys everything it comes in contact with, and then engulfs it, leaving no trace of dust behind.

Rather than saying that An Xu has a portal on her body, it would be more appropriate to compare her whole body to a scary and efficient big mouth that leads to an invisible stomach.

An Xu smacked his mouth, and he felt as if he had eaten something. She smiled with satisfaction and raised her feet to face the dark herd.

Thanks for the hospitality.
