readx; Chapter 246: The Night of the Blood Moon (Part I)

In the remaining three days, except for Tianlong, who was able to maintain his composure as always, everyone else was sitting on pins and needles, and Ye Yuechen was no exception, either pacing back and forth in the room all day long, or sitting quietly on the steps in contemplation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info It was already a test to be able to calm down at the moment, so I hardly spent any time cultivating. In the past few days, various images of the time of the blood moon have appeared in front of his eyes, the horror, the blood, it is really indescribable.

Because of the inhabitants of the southern countries, the people of the entire Dragon Drive Empire basically knew what terrible things had happened in the outside world, coupled with some gossip, everyone was worried that the gods were angry, afraid that the same disaster would befall their heads, so there was a panic everywhere, and in the past few days, even the Vermilion Bird City, which has always been crowded, has become empty, as long as it is night, all the people will hide in their respective homes early and no longer go out.

Time flies, and on this day, the night of the blood moon has finally arrived.

The sky was sunny and cloudless as usual, but as soon as dusk passed, something terrible happened.

As the sun sets, the moon rises into the night sky at about the same moment, and on the surface, tonight's moon is exceptionally bright and starry in the sky, which does not seem to be a bad omen. However, to everyone's dispression, the moon seemed to be right above them, so it seemed so huge that it seemed to be touchable with just one hand.

"Brother Chen, the moon... It's so close to us. Murong Xue pulled Ye Yuechen's sleeve with a little fear in her eyes. And beside him, everyone was also staring blankly at the sky, and Yue Ji couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and forgot to close his mouth after opening it for a long time.

In order not to make Murong Xue even more uneasy, Ye Yuechen tried to calm himself down, "Don't be afraid, everyone is here, I want to see what is terrible about this blood moon." ”

Suddenly, a black wind blew, and the leaves and dust on the ground suddenly danced strangely, and the branches of the trees looked particularly terrifying in the moonlight, all of them seemed to have turned into hideous demons. At this moment, a dark cloud drifted over everyone's heads, completely obscuring the moon.

Without the illumination of the moonlight, the earth suddenly became dark, and the sound of the wind became extremely poignant, as if countless evil spirits were crying.

"Brother Yuchen, I'm afraid... Murong Xue leaned closer to Ye Yuechen as she spoke, and at this time, Yan'er, as a younger sister, looked more calm.

"It's okay, even if the sky falls, I'll protect you. ”

As he spoke, the dark clouds had gradually disappeared, and the moonlight shone on the ground again, but now the moonlight had turned a faint red. And the moon in the night sky has also changed from a full moon to a waning moon, like a sharp crescent moon scimitar, emitting bursts of bloody light, and the surrounding stars don't know when they have hidden their traces.

In the distant sky, a sharp strange cry sounded, the sound was very similar to that of bats, and everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see a group of winged strange birds suddenly flying out under the blood moon. Because of the backlight, it is impossible to tell what kind of animal it is, and only their sharp teeth exposed outside their mouths can be vaguely seen.

"Twitter... The group of strange birds flew closer and closer, Ye Yuechen thought that they were still far away, but soon found that he was wrong, the moment he was distracted, the strange birds had already flapped their wings and flew above the palace. After hovering over everyone's heads for a moment, they swooped down like an eagle hunting for food.

"Get down!" Tianlong hurriedly reminded.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses and threw themselves to the ground with their heads in their hands. Countless strange birds flew over their heads with a roar, and when their wings crossed, they tore everyone's clothes alive, Ye Yuechen had already had a wound on his back because he was protecting Murong Xue, but at this time, he couldn't move no matter what, once he got up, the consequences were unimaginable.

Just as the strange bird was about to fly over, Yue Ji's scolding voice suddenly came from behind him, "Damn, you brute, dare to bite Lao Tzu's ass." ”

Ye Yuechen looked back, and he didn't know whether to worry or be helpless, because of his large size, even if his whole body was already tightly attached to the ground, but the alluring ass inevitably became the target of a strange bird, he slapped vigorously with his hand, and turned over to stand up.

"Don't act rashly. Tenryu looked at the strange bird that continued to swoop down behind him and warned.

But Yue Ji couldn't listen to it at all, blood had oozed from his pants, the pain made him lose his mind temporarily, the ferocity of the strange bird exceeded their imagination, and after a bite, he tore off Yue Ji's pants with a bite and a belt, seeing that he was about to suffer, Ye Yuechen didn't care about any danger, sat up from the ground, and waved a wave of light with his hand, knocking the strange bird off his ass.

Fortunately, Ye Yuechen reacted quickly enough, and he fell to the ground before the second wave of strange birds attacked, and he escaped.

Listening to the sound of the wind from the wings of the strange bird skimming the air in their ears, everyone's mood was extremely nervous, and finally they couldn't hear the strange cry.

Yue Ji carefully shook the dust off his head, but the moment he raised his head, he was completely dumbfounded, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, what the hell was that just now?"

He saw that there was a ruin in front of him, and in the vicinity of their residence, all the buildings were reduced to skeletons, and the wood had been eaten away, as if it had just passed through a storm, and the strange birds had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this time, everyone also got up from the ground one after another, they were also stunned by the scene in front of them, and Qin Tuo was even more furious, "This group of beasts, you must know that every building in the palace has been carefully designed by the best craftsmen, and it was actually destroyed by you like this." ”

Compared with Qin Tuo's worries, Ye Yuechen was more concerned about Yue Ji's injury, and after a careful inspection, he found that there was no major problem, so he put his mind at ease. Yue Ji himself was also holding back a cold sweat, but he rarely showed such a frightened expression.

"Senior, what the hell are those just now? I don't think I've ever seen them before. Thinking of those crazy strange birds, Wang Tianhao also had palpitations.

Tianlong looked at the direction in which the strange bird disappeared and said lightly, "If my guess is correct, it should be a fierce beast called a ghoul." ”

"Ghouls, are they really demons and monsters?"

Tianlong shook his head and said, "No, it's just a very fierce social bird." ”

"Damn, I was scared to death, you have to know that it was a few birds, Lao Tzu had already roasted them all and ate them, so that my ass was almost gone. ”

"Although they are birds, don't be too careless, according to the records of "Heaven and Earth Tongjian", this kind of bird is no different from the devil, and their lifespan is longer than that of the old man and me. ”

"Oh, there is such a mystery, so what is their origin?" Ye Yuechen suddenly became interested.

Tianlong thought for a while before saying, "I also judge from their appearance and voice, in the "Heaven and Earth Tongjian", ghouls are known as the guardians of hell! They originally evolved from vampire red bats, and then became especially fierce because they were devoured by the dark power, this creature hides in the underground for many years, sometimes it does not appear once in hundreds of years, but once they appear collectively, it is the devil's assembly order!"
