Chapter 303: Blood Moon Goes Crazy
At noon, the number of adventurers passing outside the grotto reached its peak, and many people walked in groups to the depths of the stone forest, talking and laughing along the way and exploring the stone forest with dreams. In the eyes of many people, the fierce place of the Night Demon Stone Forest seems to be far less terrifying than the legend.
In the grotto, Hong Yuan shook his head secretly, once again realizing what it means to die for money and for food.
In the daytime, there are usually no night demons out of the scene, and people can defuse or bypass any traps they encounter, but at night, the danger increases dramatically. It's easy for people to get in, but it's hard to get out. Hong Yuan could conclude that it wouldn't be long before there would be a lot more white bones in the stone forest.
After surveying the terrain himself and being busy outside for more than two hours, Onigo returned to the grotto and began to draw a map for final preparations. Slowly, the scouts who went out rushed back one by one, brought back the latest news, and then began to rest, and many little demon beasts also rushed back, recuperating and preparing for tonight's action.
Time passed quickly, and the adventurers were visibly nervous, and when night fell and covered the land, the labyrinthine undulating stone forest suddenly quieted down, and the adventurers who had not had time to withdraw all found a place to hide nearby. In the distance, the roar of the Night Demon began to be heard, and the time for the Night Demon to dominate had come again. It wasn't long before the terrible cries for help and screams could be heard in the darkness, and the night demons, who were wandering around in the night, began to kill mercilessly.
Once the adventurers are discovered, there is basically only one end, and that is death, and the difference is only whether they die early or later. The one who cultivated as a shallow one fell down, but he also died happily, and the one who cultivated to be stronger or ran a little faster barely survived for a while, and then was torn apart by the claws of the night demons little by little and died even worse.
The adventurers finally tasted the bitter fruit and hid motionless in the grottoes or among the crevices of the rocks, praying that the night demons would not find out.
When people didn't dare to come out, Hong Yuan and his party walked out of the grotto and went to the rocky beach more than ten miles away under the cover of night. In this operation, Hong Yuan let go of the command of the ghost five, and acted alone, wearing a black battle armor with a big hat on his head and a long knife on his back, except that he did not ride a horse, he looked no different from an ordinary ghost face knight.
More than ten miles away, usually riding a horse and galloping for a while, but for the sake of concealment, Ghost Five deliberately made a big circle. After seeing them go away, Hong Yuan took action, flew towards the rocky beach, and acted more freely and calmly alone. I didn't go far before I saw a dying adventurer.
This is a burly middle-aged man, it seems that his cultivation is not low, at least he is a cultivator in the late stage of the Divine Soul Realm, he is wearing a thick armor, but there is a large hole in his chest with blurred flesh and blood, which is a fatal wound left by the claws of the night demon. After seeing Hong Yuan, the middle-aged man's lips moved, as if he wanted to call for help but couldn't scream, and his body kept twitching.
Hong Yuan secretly sighed and couldn't help it, and was about to fly away, when he saw the middle-aged man trembling and taking out a letter and a sachet from his arms, looking at him with a blank eye.
"Is this your relic?" Hong Yuan quickly understood what the middle-aged man meant.
"Yes, please...... , begging Childe to help me turn ...... , Handed over to my daughter Hua whispering, she was in the Smoke and Rain Building of Night Dragon City, and said that I was right...... , I'm sorry for her......" Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, his head turned to the side and he died of anger, and he didn't even have time to say what his name was.
"Flower whispering, the smoke and rain building of Night Dragon City ......"
Hong Yuan shook his head and opened the sachet, which contained more than a dozen taels of broken silver, as well as a lot of copper plates, which seemed to be the hard-earned money that middle-aged people had saved little by little. The fabric of the sachet is not very good, the most rudimentary linen is used, and the production is also very crude. On the back of the sachet, there is also a slightly crooked line of small letters: 'For my father who loves me the most', which seems to be the masterpiece of a child.
It was a gift from a little girl to her father, crudely made, but kept in his arms for many years, and in the end, it became a relic left by his father to the little girl.
Hong Yuan sighed again, put away the letter and sachet casually, and just dug a soil pit to bury the middle-aged man, there was a roar in his ears, and a night demon rushed out of the darkness. The body is burly and majestic, and a pair of sharp claws are dripping with blood, and I don't know how many people's blood is soaked in it.
"Roar!"
The night demon roared loudly and slammed into it like a boulder, his sharp claws stabbing into Hong Yuan's chest, trying to gouge out the latter's heart.
Hong Yuan stood up, took the first step to dodge the night demon's attack, jumped from his body to a rock, stepped on the stone and flew away, and his body was a hundred meters away after a few ups and downs. However, just as Hong Yuan thought it would be easy to get rid of it, there was another roar behind him, and the night demon actually chased after him. In the dark, the sense of smell is sharp and fast, and it is relentless in pursuit.
Hong Yuan was a little surprised, and turned to look at this night demon who was still ghostly under the rise of killing, which was also his real face-to-face careful observation of the night demon, a demon beast entrenched in the stone forest. Last night, the main focus was on how to deal with Chu Tuhan, and he didn't care about personally fighting the night demon. At first glance, the night demon gives people the feeling of a big bear, and if you look closely, the limbs look a little like a human, but the proportions of the limbs are obviously different from that of a human, the hair is thick, the eyes glow a faint green light in the dark, it looks like a human being, and the facial features are hideous, giving people a murderous aura.
Hong Yuan reached out and held the handle of the knife on his back, and slowly drew the knife, this time he didn't hide again, ready to see what kind of ability this demon beast had.
The night demon roared, and seemed to know that Hong Yuan was very difficult to deal with, and circled around Hong Yuan, his steps were heavy, and his breathing became heavier and heavier. After grinding for a while, he finally couldn't resist the desire to kill, and roared and threw himself at Hong Yuan. As a result, the sharp claw attack missed and was dodged by Hong Yuan sideways, and then he was slashed by Hong Yuan with a pain in the abdomen. What was surprising was that the autumn water knife left only a knife mark, not a drop of blood, and the body of this night demon was surprisingly strong, obviously much stronger than those night demons encountered last night.
The night demon took a few steps back, raised his head and roared loudly, his body inflating faintly. High in the sky, a bright moon turned red at some point, turning into a blood moon.
"Huh...... , Blood Moon Frenzy?"
Hong Yuan exclaimed, his face with a touch of solemnity, and he looked up and down the night demon's strong body.
On the Divine and Ghost Continent, the Blood Moon has always been considered a bad omen. Among cultivators, there is also a saying that the combat power of demon beasts on the night of the blood moon has skyrocketed, thinking that every night of the blood moon, some demon beasts can usher in a unique madness, a hundred times more bloodthirsty than usual, and their combat effectiveness will also skyrocket! Originally, Hong Yuan thought that this statement was nonsense, but now he couldn't help but believe it a little, and began to worry about the ghost five and the others. On this night of the blood moon, he accidentally encountered the night demon of the madness of the blood moon, and the consequences were unimaginable.
