The cold moon is like frost.

In the crowd of staggering forward, the boy looked up at the night sky.

It was two disk-like celestial bodies, with slightly overlapping edges, from which a crimson glow unlike the usual moonlight was cast. From his own hands to the mountains in the distance, they were all dyed with this blood.

There are always a few days a year, when the two moons overlap and coincide into one, and the mutant moonlight makes the whole land like a bloody rain, bright red. In the face of the people, the Holy See called it a bad omen, and in those days, the evil spirits were rampant, and it was necessary to be careful and strengthen the faith.

The boy did not believe it, preferring to understand it as a special astronomical phenomenon.

However, coincidentally, every year the lords from afar send people to recruit people under the Holy See, and it is only a few days before that. Perhaps, based on some scientific principle, like the moon of the blue star in the previous life, the double moon here will also have a certain effect on the creatures on this planet at a certain time. For example, it makes people more irritable, as in the present moment, the teenager perceives that his mind is fluctuating.

Maybe that's how the war started, and it was also during this special period that recruiting soldiers became the consensus formed by those lords over the years. After all, it is easier to accept to spend some money to buy some cannon fodder to fill the battlefield to calm his anxiety than to squander the elite soldiers he has trained for many years as a victim of his own emotions, so the boy thought.

Just thinking about it, he was even more convinced of the fact that he was a consumable, and the young man shook his head violently, trying to shake these nonsense out of his head, and told himself not to worry about the sky, and the next road to take one step at a time. It's just that subconsciously, he still pressed one hand on the kitchen knife in his arms, as if this would make him feel at ease.

The young man's actions were not unusual, and a considerable part of the crowd also looked at the crimson that overlapped the two moons with worried, and the guy who was close to him in his hands. This was the first Blood Moon for the teenagers, and while others had seen it for a long time, the problem was that they were now out of the Holy See and in the middle of the countryside, where there was not even a decent avenue, let alone human architecture. In this environment, the occasional step out of the shady woods and onto a meadow with a slightly more open view can calm their restless hearts a little.

In this oppressive atmosphere, it seemed that it was a sin to make a little noise, and the whole procession was stunned except for the sound of footsteps.

In the calm before the storm, I don't know who suddenly shouted, and the whole crowd was inexplicably commotion. The shouting dragged the boy out of his heavy thoughts, but in the next second, he fell into a sea of human voices. In the midst of the noise, the short-lived helplessness of the experience, the young man who forced himself to calm down, from those chaotic words, caught a word that flashed from time to time - giant wolf.

His heart tightened, and he hurriedly followed the consistent gaze of most of the crowd.

However, just one glance, his mind went blank.

What a behemoth it was, standing on a hill in the distance, almost the size of a cow when it fell under the eye. Carrying the moonlight on its back, it was like a statue, motionless, and a pair of cold blue eyes looked at the crowd, as if looking directly at everyone at the same time.

It was aimed at everyone, and none of them could escape tonight, and the boy was startled by the ridiculous idea that had popped up on his own.

Is it too greedy, or is it capable of doing it?

Not long after this question popped up in his mind, a sudden commotion in other directions of the crowd drew his eyes to scan the surroundings.

After a circle, the young man's face was shocked.

At this time, the crowd was at the bottom of a valley, and on the surrounding hills, a burly figure of a giant wolf was pacing from the back of the hill to the top, and was scanning the people below with great interest.

It turns out that it still has companions, and by the way, wolves are social animals, so they should have thought of it a long time ago.

The young man was shocked and amazed, how could these beasts behave so humanely.

But at this time, he couldn't think too much, and took out the kitchen knife in his arms with one hand, and he moved his feet lightly, trying to bury himself in the middle of the crowd. The nature documentaries he had watched in his previous life were indispensable for the footage of predators hunting herbivorous animals living in groups, which made him at least understand that staying in the center of the group was the safest way.

As if confirming his thoughts, the knights shouted loudly in the distance.

"Don't leave the team without permission!"

"Those who have fled are no longer protected by us!

"The one with the knife is standing on the periphery, and the one with the stick is close to the back, ready to sweep the formation!"

The knights' orders were given relatively late, and at this time, only in the eyes of the young man, several people had already secretly left the group and hid in the woods. It was only the screams that sounded later, and the emergence of several giant wolves with stumps in their mouths emerging from the surrounding woods, that stopped the crowd from scattering.

In such a situation of life and death, it is difficult to effectively implement the knight's password. Like today's teenagers, many people have quietly hidden their knives and sticks, and then drilled into the center of the crowd one by one, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Hey, you come out for me!"

The boy felt a huge force coming, and he was pulled out of the crowd like a little chicken, and when he turned his head, he could not help but be shocked to see that it was the knight who had been waiting for his death to pull him to the periphery.

Seeing the boy's reaction, the knight smiled with satisfaction.

"Don't you have a knife on you? As he spoke, he leaned into the boy's ear, "Do you really think I'm going to let you go so easily?"

The inner crowd is a wall, blocking the eyes of the beasts and the hope of outsiders entering.

Feeling the thrust on his back behind him, the young man's face was extremely ugly, but he still took out the kitchen knife and looked at a giant wolf less than three feet away from here. The beast was very patient, pacing back and forth, his greedy eyes grably looking at the trembling people on the periphery, as if looking for an opportunity. Now that he had reached this point, he did not dare to relax a little and let himself become the breakthrough point of the giant beast, so he did not care about the knight who was about to kill him.

The appearance of the giant wolf is not only a great threat to ordinary people, but also a big trouble for those knights who are dressed in armor and straddle horses. Slipping the boy out, the knight hurried to reinforcements in other directions of the crowd. From time to time, other knights passed by the young man's side, and their fragmentary words fell into his ears intermittently.

"I didn't encounter this situation last year, so good, how did they come so close?"

"Not to mention last year, I haven't heard of such a situation before. ”

"I heard those adults say that the demon tide is getting more and more fierce year by year, and the beast tide caused by it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and now I have seen it, and I just met a group of hard stubble, which is really bad enough. ”

"We have to hurry up and end the battle and hurry up, otherwise there will be more and more demonic beasts blocking the way in the future. ”

"Looks like we're going to have to use a secret method now. ”

"Not really. ”

"How?"

"Have you forgotten? Isn't there another adult with us taking the lead?"

Listening to the conversation among the knights, the boy pondered the meaning of "magic tide", "beast tide" and "secret method" while standing on tiptoe and looking around. With the naked eye, the knights on tall horses are huddled around the crowd in a circle, and their footsteps are non-stop. Only in the face of a huge wolf that was so large that it stood out, a burly figure seemed to merge with the horses under the seat, standing still, confronting the former.

That's what they call an adult, the boy guessed.

It's just that they are really bold, and they want to solve such a giant beast with only manpower, or when their own numbers are slightly weaker than their opponents.

Yes, in the young man's opinion, the knights who are armed and equipped with mounts are relatively ordinary people, and when facing the giant wolf, they only have a little more resistance power.

At this moment, shouldn't they have run away in the first place? Or were those giant wolves just a façade?

For this world, he is a newcomer, and he does not dare to speculate about some things that he does not understand. Therefore, these thoughts only swirled in his mind, and he threw them aside. Retracting his fleeting gaze and mind, he began to concentrate, clenching the kitchen knife tightly, and staring at the giant wolf not far away, who could almost smell the blood in his mouth.

Just confronted each other for a while, and seeing that the wolves still hadn't taken action, the young man couldn't help but secretly cry bitter. His physical fitness is extremely limited, he has been on the night road for a long time before, and now he is worried again, and after a while, his body has begun to sweat, and his face is a little pale.

However, this is not what worries him the most.

The giant wolf in front of him seemed to have discovered him, a weak chicken that was different from ordinary people, and in the process of scanning back and forth, he had begun to fall on him more and more frequently. It seemed that the giant wolf was probably going to take him as his first target, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart. Thinking that his second life has not officially begun, he is going to die here, and I really don't know if there is a third chance.

Semi-decadent, he couldn't help but start thinking cranky.

However, the thoughts only lingered for a moment, when they were interrupted by a howl not far away.

At this time, the crowd was like frightened birds. As soon as the voice was heard, quite a lot of panicked eyes focused on the same place, where a huge giant wolf was already fighting with a burly figure.

The boy was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes, what did he see?

The waves of qi that reverberated around the knight, the light that shot out of the broadsword, the shockwaves that collided with the claws of the beast were visible to the naked eye...... It's not scientific!

A low roar dragged the boy back to his eyes, and his heart trembled, and the giant wolf in front of him was already staring at him, and began to agitately pick at the dirt under his feet, and wisps of bloodshot saliva overflowed from the corners of his hideous mouth, as if he would jump up and rush at any moment.
