Chapter 9: The Beginning of the Blood Moon

The loess is built, overgrown with weeds, and the seemingly fragile Dongfang Fort has shown extraordinary tenacity in the face of this beast tide with a bit of world-destroying momentum!

At this moment, looking in the direction of Xi Qing's finger, I saw that those crazy beasts exploded and died after hitting the earthen wall of Dongfang Fort, and then the flesh and blood of their whole bodies were absorbed by the earthen wall in an instant, as if they had never existed at all.

It's just that the speed of this beast tide is really fast, often the first fierce beast has just exploded, and the one behind has already taken its previous position, and then it explodes again and dies.

At the same time, the fierce beast that exploded first in front had just been devoured and absorbed, and a new fierce beast was added in the back.

Even if at a certain moment, the number of beasts facing a certain section of the earth wall suddenly increases, these rammed walls of loess can instantly raise the mysterious power that causes the beasts to disintegrate and devour to the same level.

Dongfang Fort is like a grinding wheel of life and death, and its speed of devouring the flesh and blood of the fierce beasts is always in a delicate dynamic balance with the speed at which the fierce beasts outside die. No matter how large the beast tide is and how fierce the momentum is, this is the end of their lives!

Faced with this strange situation, I stared at the place where the beasts died for a long time, and finally found some clues.

It turned out that there was a layer of fine inscriptions flickering on the surface of the rough earthen wall, which were hidden under the earth, exuding an unpredictable mysterious and mysterious power, which distorted the air that was close to the earthen wall.

It was their existence that allowed the Eastern Fort to be preserved under the beast tide of such a scale.

However, this is not the most terrifying. What really frightened me was the fierce birds, insects, etc., that were flying in the air.

They were so far away from the ground that they should be able to break into Fort Orient very smoothly and cause unimaginable harm. After all, in the face of such a large-scale beast tide, the effects of the villagers' bows and arrows and other weapons are really limited.

However, just as they were about to fly over Fort East, a strange scene appeared......

I saw that these ferocious birds and insects suddenly changed their flying direction as if they had received some kind of order, and one by one they collectively swooped down as if they were dying, and crashed straight into the earthen wall of Dongfang Fort!

They don't need to think much about their final ending, they are no different from the fierce beasts in the beast tide on the ground.

I was stunned by this scene!

It seems that there is another mysterious force around Fort Orient that I have not been able to notice, and it is the presence of this force that affects the minds and judgments of the ferocious birds and insects, which makes them commit such crazy suicidal acts.

"So, where did the devoured flesh end up? What exactly is this for? Who portrayed these inscriptions, is it the castle owner?"

You must know that these flesh and blood are not only ordinary fierce beasts, but also mixed with many demon beasts. And as the surging tide of beasts continued to be devoured, the demonic qi accumulated outside the Dongfang Fort was now so dense that it was almost visible to the naked eye.

But I don't have the slightest clue, and I don't have any description of this in my memory, so I guess this secret is only known to the owner of the castle in the entire Eastern Castle.

At this time, I took a closer look at the fierce beasts that were surging and found that under the loss of reason hidden by their red eyes, there was a deep horror!

It was as if something terrible was happening in a place behind them that they couldn't see, constantly driving them forward.

That's why there is the beast tide in front of you!

"This ......" I was shocked by what I had discovered, and I was speechless for a moment, and blurted out, "Does Bing Qing know why this beast tide happened?"

"I don't know...... Brother Xiaotian, do you know? Oh, look, that butterfly is so beautiful!" she blinked her big smart eyes, still looking out excitedly, and from time to time she pointed at a certain good-looking beast and shouted.

"I don't know. I shook my head, trying to keep my eyes open and look in the direction of the beast tide, trying to uncover the secret behind it.

"This beast tide has a mysterious origin, and it existed long before my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's generation. At this time, an old man passing by happened to hear our conversation and said casually, "Don't say it's me, presumably even the current castle lord may not know the cause of them." ”

The person who came was the old master who taught the villagers to read and write in the fort, and he could be said to be the most learned person in the village except for the castle owner.

The old master is not only knowledgeable, but also highly respected, and many major affairs in the village need him to preside, and Bing Qing was fostered in their parents' home.

"Master, grandpa!" Seeing the old master passing by, Bing Qing greeted happily while struggling to try to pull his beard, which frightened the old master and hurriedly retreated.

For this little girl who has both pistachio attributes and demon temperament, he has no choice.

Of course, Bin Qing was just scaring him, after all, the other hand was wrapping around my neck hard, and he didn't have any idea of coming down.

Even so, the old master still carefully retreated to a position out of the reach of Xi Qing, and then stopped with a smile, stroked the beard on his chin very lovingly, and continued: "The beast tide must appear during the day on the night of the full moon every month, and today is the full moon!"

"Master, can you understand these inscriptions on the earthen wall?" I had some impression of what he said, and I threw out all the doubts I had before.

"Don't you know?" the old master looked at me with burning eyes, shook his head with a smile, and said slowly, "These secret things can only be understood by the castle master who has been passed down from generation to generation! ”

After saying this, he didn't continue walking, but just stood still on the side with his hands behind his back, looking at the surging beast tide below with us, thoughtfully.

Although I didn't get the answer I was expecting, my heart was a little brighter. After all, the key to too many problems is concentrated in the castle owner, which is a dead knot. Now I think about it, the next time I see the castle master, I must ask him for advice.

Because I was attacked as soon as I fell asleep, I still don't know the exact time of the dream world at this moment. I just felt that it didn't take long for a while, and the sky was a little dark.

From a distance, there seemed to be a shadow of a full moon on the horizon, looming in the sky above the beast tide, gradually rising.

At this time, the outbreak of the beast tide also seemed to have reached a certain critical point. Not only did the density of the beasts begin to thin, but even their speed slowed down. If you look closely, you can find that the red glow in the eyes of many fierce beasts has begun to dissipate.

When I looked up inadvertently, I noticed that the full moon that was rising was a little red......
