A Hospital in Another World? Chapter 1101: Entering the Emerald Dream! Garrett's Mission

Garrett lay quietly on the forest clearing, staring intently at the vacuum tube, his ear membranes and the spines on his back trembling slightly. X-rays... Seeing X-rays with the naked eye, so this is what they look like!

What about alpha rays? Beta rays? Gamma rays?

And what about the glow from magical items and creatures under the ** spell?

He wished he could see them all through the eyes of a dragon, examining everything closely...

He stared at the vacuum tube, utterly engrossed, unaware of how much time had passed. Suddenly, a wave of emptiness washed over him, and his perspective shifted abruptly. When he opened his eyes again, he had reverted to his human form, drenched in sweat and lying weakly on the ground.

"Garrett!"

Cirilla rushed over to support him.

"Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Is it painful?"

"Don't pull me... I... feel like throwing up..."

Garrett closed his eyes, feeling his vision darken, cold sweat breaking out all over his body, and the world spinning around him. Cirilla didn't dare move him and could only squat beside him, holding his shoulder and letting him lean against her. She looked anxiously at Elder Fahim.

"Elder...?"

"Don't worry, he's just exhausted. A little rest will do him good." The elder went back to his small hut, mixed a pale green tree juice, and handed it to Garrett to drink.

"Though his transformed form is small, it's still an adult dragon. The magical energy consumption is too high. Next time, transform into something even smaller; the smaller the form, the less energy it consumes, and he can even enter the lab—killing two birds with one stone."

Garrett nodded weakly. The elder smiled at him and glanced at Cirilla, his smile widening slightly.

"By the way, if you only want to observe with a dragon's vision, focus on learning partial transformation next time. Just changing your eyes to slit pupils will consume much less energy. At your current level, once you master it, you can maintain it for a whole day without any issues."

That would be wonderful...

Garrett slowly sipped the tree juice, feeling some strength return to his hollow body. With Cirilla's help, he stood up, gazing longingly at the vacuum tube before looking toward the distant elven secret realm.

If his suspicions were correct and the adverse conditions in the elven secret realm were related to nuclear radiation, then perhaps once he mastered the dragon transformation, he could take a look at the edge of the polluted zone?

Of course, only at the edge, from a distance. He would need to confirm the presence of nuclear radiation before taking any further steps.

—The council mages, especially his mentor and the masters of the Evocation School and the Transmutation School, would likely be highly interested in such a thing as nuclear radiation and new radioactive elements, wouldn't they?

But that was all planning for the future. Garrett, filled with hopeful thoughts, gradually fell asleep. He needed to rest well; tomorrow, he still had to continue researching healing spells, study the Emerald Dream, and there were so many things left to do...

With a goal in mind comes motivation. The next day, Elder Fahim personally guided Garrett into the Emerald Dream. This time, everything went smoothly without any issues.

Garrett opened his eyes in meditation. Before him was a majestic mountain range, and he stood atop a high peak, looking down. Normally, it would be difficult for a human to see so far, but at this moment, as he gazed into the distance, every detail of the landscape was clear.

To the left of the mountain range, a warm, moist wind swept in, climbing along the rugged peaks. Warm broadleaf forests, dense mixed coniferous forests, towering coniferous forests, shrublands, and alpine meadows ascended in layers, each clearly distinct.

In front of the mountain range, an endless grassland stretched to the horizon. Atmospheric circulation moved in waves, bringing moisture-laden winds that came and went, with the dry and rainy seasons alternating. The animals on the grassland moved with the rains, coming and going.

To the right of the mountain range was the most fertile and lush rainforest, a rolling sea of green spreading outwards. Within the dense jungle, rivers surged and converged from all directions into the main river, which downstream had become as vast as an ocean...

Garrett spread his arms wide at the cliff's edge and took a deep breath, stretching his body and mind as much as possible. So this was the Emerald Dream... Was this what the earth looked like before humanity arrived?

No wonder the elder had gone to such lengths to make him learn this. Immersed in such an environment, every strand of spiritual energy, every thread, was rejoicing, vibrating, greedily absorbing the natural power.

One night in the Emerald Dream could lead to leaps and bounds in spiritual growth...

As he indulged in the expansion of his spirit, the ground beneath him suddenly shook violently. Garrett opened his eyes in shock and saw a blinding light explode from the depths of the rainforest. In an instant, a column of light shot skyward, piercing through the clouds.

Even within the Emerald Dream, even at an unknown distance, this scene took Garrett's breath away. A powerful shockwave spread outward, turning green leaves, branches, flowers, and vines into ash and dust on the spot.

Mighty magical beasts roared towards the sky—feathered giant serpents, brilliantly colored birds, even fierce tigers and monkeys—each soared into the air, desperately resisting.

However, the birds and beasts near the explosion's center disintegrated into smoke within a few breaths. Those slightly further away, frantically fleeing, were burned black, their skin charred, their flesh scorched, collapsing to the ground with tragic cries...

In the end, a large patch of scorched earth was left in the middle of the lush rainforest. The vegetation was carbonized, the animals were dead, and not a trace of life remained in the vast forest. Only wisps of air currents rose and fell, twisting and devouring the vitality of the land.

The earth's wounds awaited healing.

Nature's loss awaited restoration.

The twisted world needed correction—

Garrett took a step towards the center of the rainforest. In the next moment, the Emerald Dream rippled like water, and Garrett, drenched in cold sweat, slowly opened his eyes.

"How was it?"

"How was it?!"

Several voices asked simultaneously. Elder Fahim crouched in front of him, staring unblinkingly into his eyes, his posture unchanged for who knew how long. Cirilla leaned in closer, even nearer to Garrett, eagerly grasping his hand.

"Did you succeed?"

"I think... I succeeded." Garrett slowly recounted everything he had seen in the Emerald Dream, describing it word by word. Hearing the extent of what he had sensed, the elder's face lit up with joy, his eyebrows dancing.

Hearing that he stood on a mountaintop and could see such distant details, the elder stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

Upon hearing of the explosion of light in the rainforest, the elder let out a long sigh, his expression filled with sorrow.

"Every servant of nature who enters the Emerald Dream feels a natural mission—to care for and heal nature. The more severe the damage they sense, the greater the achievement after restoration. But Garrett, the fact that you sensed this particular history..."

"I wonder if guiding you into the dream so close to the secret realm has harmed you..."
