Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
Summer of 1999, Shennongjia Forestry District.
A scientific expedition team was heading deep into Shennongjia under the lead of a local guide.
Deep forests and dense foliage, towering mountains and deep valleys.
This unexplored region exuded a primal mystery in every corner.
And the accompanying guide was endlessly chattering to the expedition team about all sorts of secret tales passed down through generations in Shennongjia.
Wild men like giants, donkey-wolves that looked like donkeys.
They were all worn-out legends about Shennongjia’s mysterious species.
The expedition team members did not care.
The guide detected this too. After hesitating, he still chose to make a decision that violated his ancestors.
That was to reveal a legendary secret from thirty years ago, one only whispered among locals and which they had even been warned never to tell outsiders.
“Have you heard of Flood Dragons?”
The guide spoke with feigned mystery, his gaze falling on a female team member named Xiao Mei.
This Xiao Mei was too beautiful, like a fairy.
A large part of why the guide was chattering on so much was because of this Xiao Mei.
However, Xiao Mei was not interested in the guide’s topic at all.
Just dealing with the harsh environment of Shennongjia’s depths was already driving her somewhat crazy.
But a man in the expedition team with unremarkable looks smiled and picked up the topic. “You’re talking about the Wu Lao’er disappearance case from thirty years ago in Xinhua Township, right?”
“Oh, you know about it too?”
The guide was immediately surprised.
“I’ve looked into it a bit.”
The man smiled and nodded. His calm, confident demeanor drew the gaze of every expedition member, including Xiao Mei.
“One night thirty years ago.”
“A veteran named Wu Lao’er mysteriously vanished while chasing a giant python that attacked a sheep pen.”
“The locals organized several search parties, but in the end they never found any trace of Wu Lao’er or the so-called giant python.”
“Thus it became a famous local unsolved case.”
The man said this, then suddenly looked toward the depths of the forest. “But perhaps this unsolved case from back then is finally ready to have its mysterious veil lifted, thirty years later.”
“Lin Qi, what nonsense are you spouting?”
Someone in the expedition team was displeased and scolded Lin Qi, telling him not to say such pointless things.
They had come to Shennongjia to do research, not to find Wu Lao’er who had mysteriously disappeared thirty years ago.
Lin Qi had always been friendly, so he chose not to argue with his companion. Instead, he pointed to a broken valley not far to the north and said with a smile.
“My intuition tells me.”
“Wu Lao’er and that so-called giant python from back then should be right there.”
“Lin Qi, don’t scare me.”
Xiao Mei whined coquettishly, leaning over and reaching out her little hand, trying to get close to Lin Qi.
But Lin Qi ignored her and stepped forward, disregarding the protests of the expedition team and the local guide, arriving above the broken valley.
It was a narrow yet deep cliff valley, bottomless.
A large amount of cold mist shrouded it, making it so that sunlight could rarely reach the depths of the valley year-round.
Lin Qi took out a climbing rope he had already prepared from his backpack and prepared to descend into the cliff valley.
This action quickly drew questions and attempts to stop him from the others.
But Lin Qi ignored them. He had already descended the cliff like an ape.
“This is completely undisciplined!”
“Who exactly recruited this Lin Qi?”
“Someone’s going to have to take responsibility for this!”
The expedition team leader was so furious his face turned red.
But the reactions of the others then made the expedition team leader greatly shocked.
“Captain, didn’t you recruit him?”
