Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 471 - 332. The Magical Power of the "Past" Star Formation_3
A thought grew wildly like weeds, deeply rooted in Sebastian’s mind: "In the dream realm, I left my companions and climbed over the wall, successfully shaking off the wild dogs. Could this be hinting at a method of escape?"
Logically speaking, this is indeed a very feasible plan.
If he leaves the others behind and escapes, the attention on the other seven members will be greater, and the ice corpse group will certainly target the larger group, greatly increasing his chances of survival.
Sebastian found it difficult to resist the lure of survival: "Should I find an opportunity to escape?"
Though he owed a lot of money, he absolutely did not want to die.
He wanted to live, to return and enjoy delicious food, beautiful scenery, and the company of beautiful women.
A minute later.
"Bang!"
The ice door of the underground ice house was blown apart by a punch.
The captain led the charge outside, with the others following closely behind.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
Strange hissing sounds continued to echo from all around.
White shadows swiftly darted through the ice layers, as if they were wolves on a hunt.
Soon after.
A fierce battle erupted.
From the surface, the squad seemed deeply surrounded, ready to be annihilated at any moment.
However, this was not the case, as there were too many ice corpses to attack simultaneously, and insufficient space for them to strike.
The squad’s formation was quite tight, facing only a few ice corpses at a time.
If there were more strong individuals in the team, they could have fought their way out, but unfortunately, only the captain could barely be counted as a strong leader.
Ten seconds later.
The captain suddenly heard a "snap" behind him. He turned slightly, catching a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils instantly flashed disbelief.
He saw, to his surprise, his team member Sebastian, using his signature charging secret skill, and dashed away like a cannonball.
Clearly.
Sebastian abandoned everyone and fled.
The captain’s distraction led to disastrous consequences.
Two ice corpses swept in from below, each extending blade-like claws, savagely slicing the captain’s legs.
"Ah~"
A heartrending scream.
The Ice Corpse King seized the opportunity and made his first move.
The captain was dragged into the ice layers by the Ice Corpse King.
Elsewhere.
While Sebastian was in mid-air, he heard a scream behind him and instinctively looked back.
He happened to witness the captain being dragged beneath the ice layers.
Sebastian turned his gaze forward, a flicker of guilt in his eyes.
He understood thoroughly that without the captain as a strong support, the chances of others surviving were extremely low.
In other words, his act of abandoning his teammates directly led to everyone’s death.
A second later.
"Bang!"
Sebastian’s feet landed back on the ice surface.
He was now outside the encirclement of the ice corpses, clearly making his escape plan a success.
"Woo~"
The strong wind swept in.
Sebastian suddenly came to his senses.
Because he suddenly remembered, he had never experienced being chased by wild dogs and leaving his companions during his school days.
Sebastian felt confused: "Did I mix up the events in the dream realm, thinking they had happened in reality?"
He couldn’t figure it out.
But danger was still behind, and Sebastian could only run for his life.
"Ah~"
Another scream pierced through the night.
This indicated that another teammate had met a tragic end.
Sebastian felt as though his heart was being tightly gripped, struggling to breathe.
He cried out in anguish: "What have I done?"
He recalled from childhood to adulthood, others viewed him as an upright and kind person.
Ever since becoming a superpower user, he had fought hard, saving many people.
It was because of this that the Jin Xiangshu Knight Order selected him to join this expedition team.
And it was for this reason that the captain was so shocked to suddenly see him abandon his teammates to save himself.

Ten kilometers away.
Yang Fan observed the suffering Sebastian from afar, smiling with satisfaction: "’Past’ star formation’s evolution of this trick is indeed quite interesting."
Sebastian’s behavior of abandoning his teammates and fleeing was naturally manipulated by him.
The birth of the mammoth cub caused the "Past" star formation to evolve, gaining many peculiar abilities.
Yang Fan utilized the power of the "Past" star formation to lock onto Sebastian’s past in the River of Time and wove a false memory for him.
The present Sebastian dreamed of his past self, confusing false memories for real ones.
This man’s soul was influenced, leading him to abandon his teammates at a critical moment, resulting in the collapse of the superpower user squad.
Most interestingly, Sebastian believed that everything was just the dream realm’s influence, unaware he was being manipulated.
Undoubtedly, the "Past" affecting the "Now" is quite a magical power.
At this moment.
Yang Fan looked from afar, witnessing the seventh member of the Delint superpower user squad being bitten in the neck by an ice corpse.
This meant that besides Sebastian, the superpower user squad had been wiped out.
Yang Fan’s gaze fixed on the despondent Sebastian, softly saying: "Next, I can conduct the following experiment to confirm whether the transformation of the dog plaster into a monster truly relates to the power of the Ancient Gods."
Actually, there is a simple way to determine if it’s the power of the Ancient Gods at play.
That is—to cast another glance at the Ancient God’s Hand.
However, that’s extremely risky, and even with the World Power’s protection, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.
Thus, Yang Fan could only take a detour, using the Delint People as his experiment subjects.
In his view, these people, who harbored hostility towards Great Xia, were better off dead.
Yang Fan took a deep breath, once again stirred the power of the "Past" star formation.
A faint glow of starlight brightened in his mind.
