Mu Liuyue and Wen Li were both a little confused when they were suddenly entrusted with such an important task.
The two had just stepped into the activity room when they were already registered as candidates for the Battle Club's program.
The preparation time is three days. The music festival will be held on the last day of December and will last for a whole day. Three stages with different styles will be built on campus.
In addition to the musical performances from various clubs, there were also snack stalls run by various classes, and the event ended with New Year's fireworks, which was very lively.
Each club has at least two programs, so the two were registered separately. Wen Li quickly thought about the content of the performance.
Before Contracted A Miao ran away from home, she had been trained as the heir of the witch priest clan. Although she was not good at dancing, the sacrificial dance was a basic skill that she practiced every day and of course she would not forget it.
She looked at Yan Xi Miao beside her and said, "Ah Miao should still remember some basic dance steps, right?"
Flame Strike Meow shook its burning tail, "Meow...!"
Like Wen Li, although it is not good at dancing, it once spent a lot of time and energy practicing dance steps. When it was a Flametail Cat, it was almost always cultivated as a partner of animal tamers.
Judging by the strict standards of the Wuji clan, Wen Li and Yan Xi Miao would both be severely criticized by the dance teacher for practicing harder, but their level is enough to cope with the performance at the campus music festival.
Hearing the beastmaster's voice, the fire moth Xiao Chi flew over, flapped its huge wings and landed on Wen Li's head, dropping a lot of crystal scales like sparks.
As an extraordinary creature of the Lepidoptera, the tinder moth has a beautiful and slender appearance. It does not need any additional practice, and even the most ordinary flying movements look like it is dancing gracefully to outsiders.
The celebratory dance performed by Ah Miao and Xiao Chi was the program that Wen Li planned to perform.
She looked at her friend who seemed distressed and asked, "What does Hiiragi want to perform?"
Mu Liuyue touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
This world has developed a rich and colorful beast taming culture. In addition to the most popular and most watched beast taming battles, beast taming performances are also an activity with a long tradition.
After entering the modern society, it has been further subdivided and developed into various forms, including stage performances, bands, singing, concerts, magic, talk shows... and even more advanced film and television performances, in which you can see the cooperation between beast masters and their pets.
Mu Huoyue decided early on to go the combat route, but didn't really consider the form of the beast taming performance.
However, the previous battle with Lin Fei gave her some inspiration.
Compared to her as a beastmaster, her pets might have more talent in singing.
"Hmm... I have a rough idea." She smiled and said to Wen Li, "It should be a dark night band."
Hearing this, Wen Li's eyes lit up, and she immediately showed an expectant look, "Wow... sounds so cool! What will Hiiragi be, the lead singer?"
"Keep this secret for now, you'll know when the time comes." Mu Liuyue blinked mysteriously.
…
…
Three days passed quickly, and with the ringing of the year-end bell, the Jingzhou University Music Festival kicked off in full swing.
Preparations for the event began in the morning, and performance stages of different styles were set up. Everyone was discussing the popular candidates who would perform on stage today, and many students were distributing materials they had prepared.
The Battle Club also prepared materials for Mu Huiyue and Wen Li, most of which were photos of them on the battlefield. They were more popular than expected and were all consumed before noon.
President Xiang Xunle, who was helping to distribute materials, was relieved and finished the affairs of the Battle Club ahead of time. He and Mantis went to visit other stalls at the music festival.
Teachers and classmates with their pets can be seen everywhere on campus. Some are strolling leisurely like him, while others are busy at the stalls and on the stage. The atmosphere is very lively.
Xiang Xun likes this kind of atmosphere very much. The scene of humans and supernatural creatures cooperating and living together in the school makes him feel very safe.
"Hiss~" The flower-picking mantis walked beside the beastmaster, with its wide-bladed sickle forelimbs gathered into the shape of a lapel, its chin slightly half-covered, like a gentle and lovely lady.
Xiang Xun turned around and smiled at it: "Are you hungry, Hana? Do you want to eat something?"
The stalls set up by the students sold a lot of snacks and also food developed specifically for pets.
"Hiss!" The mantis pointed to one of the stalls.
Xiang Xun looked in that direction and found a cute bunny puppet floating in the air, using a telepathic thread to control nine beverage cups in front of it, throwing, catching and spinning them like a show of skill.
It was a rare marionette spirit puppet. Xiang Xun walked up to it and bought two energy drinks from the somewhat shy beastmaster, one for himself and one for Hana.
Feng Le, who was in charge of guarding the stall, breathed a sigh of relief. The task of dealing with strangers was still too arduous for him. Perhaps he should really leave all the work to Tutu as he said. After all, [Mind Control] was enough to handle all situations at the stall, and he could just be a quiet mascot...
The energy drink sold at this stall is a special one provided by the Dark Attribute Research Institute. It is prepared and flavored by the guardian spirit of Professor Xie's family. It can be consumed by both humans and supernatural creatures. It was very popular when it was first sold at the music festival.
Xiang Xun continued walking forward. The sky gradually darkened and the clouds were dyed with the color of sunset, which meant that the most lively part of the music festival was about to begin.
The west stage was already packed with people, and stepping into everyone's sight in the glow of the setting sun was Wen Li, who was performing for the Battle Club, and her contracted pets, Flame Cat and Fire Velvet Moth.
The explosive music ignited the scene. Wen Li changed into the traditional costumes of the witch priest clan and started the show by spinning in the flying flames.
Flame Attack Meow followed the same rhythm, and the tip of its burning tail drew a dazzling circle of light in the air, maintaining the same shape as the flowing flames beside Wen Li.
A man and a cat stood on the stage, and then the tinder moth slowly landed, flapping its wings with gorgeous flame patterns, releasing scales that were as dazzling as sparks.
Wen Li smiled brightly, lifted her skirt, and took the first dance step of the night.
Her dance was as passionate and unrestrained as she was, stirring the swirling flames on the stage, as if she wanted to merge with the brilliant and fiery colors.
The glow of the setting sun set off the dancing flames and was reflected in the girl's eyes, creating a radiant glow.
She is the brightest light on the stage.
After the dance, the audience cheered loudly and waved various support items representing Wen Li.
The group of people from the [Sacrifice Culture Research Society] were the most exaggerated. They showed the momentum of cheering for their idols live and were about to swing the light of their cheering sticks into a circle.
Xiang Xun stood in the crowd and applauded. It was indeed the right decision to let these two represent the Battle Club to participate in the music festival.
He looked towards the south stage in another direction. Mu Huiyue's show should be about to begin.
Audiences from all locations were gathering in that direction, and more and more people came to the south stage.
The sky had become completely dark, and as night fell, the lights on the stage on the south side were lit up.
A single beam of light hits the back corner, and the first thing that appears in the audience's eyes is the tall cross stake behind the scarecrow.
The dark wooden stake was painted with a faint pattern. The Night Demon Scarecrow slowly turned around. His body, which was made of straw and withered fruits, was wearing a cultural shirt with a skull pattern, which was decorated with metal sequins.
The wide straw hat turned into a graffiti headscarf tied back, and a shiny hollow necklace hung around the neck.
In front of it is a row of tall drum sets, with several sturdy crows perched on the drums, wearing the same hollow metal necklace as the scarecrow around their necks.
Snap, snap, snap, clack——
The crows used their claws to hit the drum heads and round gongs, making rhythmic and crisp sounds.
When the last sound fell, two other beams of light were lit on the stage at the same time.
The white skeleton is wearing a leather jacket with metal buttons, lined with a shirt with the same skull pattern, and his slender legs are covered with mesh trousers, and finally a pair of high-top riveted boots.
He wore many metal patterns of different sizes on his wrists and carried a colorful guitar. The humanoid attire was cleverly combined with the appearance of a skeleton, making his figure look particularly slender and tall, giving people a strong visual impact.
Opposite the rock skull is Mu Shuyue, who is wearing the same style of clothing and carrying a colorful bass. She is also wearing a skull shirt from the same series. She has her long hair tied into a ponytail and has highlighted the left side to match the band's performance style.
The skeleton gently plucked the chords, and black mist suddenly surged on the stage. A rose-like blue flame ignited in his right eye socket.
Mu Huoyue smiled slightly, plucked the chords in the same way, and greeted the audience as a bassist.
In her previous college life, she also participated in a band formed by like-minded people and was active on the campus stage as a bassist.
Although I haven’t touched a musical instrument for many years since graduation, the memories of the past are still vivid when I pick up this bass again.
This is a new band she formed with her pets, and its name is [Dark Night Devil].
Even if it is just this one time that the memories come back, Mu Shuyue hopes to leave a wonderful performance at the music festival.
The audience cheered in excitement. It must be said that dark pets are very suitable for this kind of dark night style visual look, especially the skeleton guitarist. The black mist moved, the metal flashed, and he made a rock gesture made of white bones. It was so cool that it was unmatched.
Many viewers are also curious, since Mu Huoyue, who is a beast tamer, is the bassist, who will be the lead singer?
The fourth beam of light shone down and landed on a peculiarly shaped standing microphone in the center of the stage.
A summoning array with five layers of imperial patterns appeared behind Li Mai, and the lead singer made a brilliant appearance amid everyone's expectant gazes.
It was an extremely dazzling white wolf, with long silver fur that looked like moonlight, emitting a soft glow in the night.
It has metal earrings with several small skulls on the tips of its ears, its neck hair is combed into a flying shape, and it has a metal pendant of the same style as the Night Demon Scarecrow.
The white wolf walked steadily towards the microphone and let out a long wolf howl, singing the prelude to the start of the performance.
“Ouch—”
The distant whistling sound spread out, and all the audience members below the stage felt a hint of coolness like snow, as if they were standing in the dead of night with a rising north wind, and the oncoming wind was mixed with tiny snowflakes, bringing a momentary cool touch.
Midnight Echo: 1% Extreme Lightweight Edition.
The music sounded one after another, and the performance style began with wolf howling as the main melody.
Except for White Fang, the lead singer, who used Midnight Echo, all the instruments were given a lightweight version of Soul Vibrato by Ellen, while Harvey, who was responsible for drums, added a lightweight version of Devil Face to the Crows' performance.
This is also one of the reasons why Mu Huoyue suddenly had the idea of ​​forming a band at the music festival. As a sign of completion of the "Subtraction" training some time ago, nothing could be more suitable than a band performance that precisely controls the power of skills to achieve the ideal performance effect.
The control of the three pets over their skills has obviously improved a lot. [Echoes of the Midnight] can be controlled within the atmosphere effect of north wind and night snow, while [Evil Ghost Face] can be completely used as a prop effect set to summon the moon in the night sky in everyone's mind perception.
The attack skill [Soul Tremolo] that directly acts on the spiritual level only makes the sound of the instrument more appealing.
This was a unique band performance. The lead singer sang in the tune of a wolf howl. The music and drum beats were very pleasant to the ears. The performance technique was not too sophisticated, but it was touching enough.
When the song ended, the audience gave warm cheers and applause.
Mu Liuyue bowed with her pets. She hugged each of her partners on the stage one by one. Everyone’s performance today was really cool!
As soon as he stepped off the stage, the excited Wen Li rushed over to him.
She finished her own performance and rushed over without stopping, wanting to see what Mu Chuyue's dark night band would look like.
The result was ten thousand times more handsome than she had imagined!
Applying pet skills to stage performances is a common technique in beast taming performances, but it is the first time for Wen Li to see so many sound wave skills used in a band performance at the same time. Hiiragi is still Hiiragi after all, she always has a way to realize every whimsical plan of hers.
There was still some time before the end of the music festival, so Mu Huiyue changed her clothes and prepared to go visit other stages and stalls with Wen Li.
As it approached midnight, everyone returned to the school square, waiting for the fireworks show to celebrate the New Year's Eve.
Mu Huiyue and Wen Li also came to the square and watched the tiny sparks rise into the night sky and bloom into huge, dazzling flowers in the dark night.
Bang--
Several more fireworks rose into the sky, blooming into continuous patterns in the night sky.
Wen Li was extremely excited and kept talking to Mu Chuyue, but the noise of the fireworks was too loud and Mu Chuyue could only watch her changing mouth shapes in amusement and try to figure out what she was saying.
Bang Bang——
More and more fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the sound of students' spontaneous New Year's Eve countdown could be heard in the square.
Five, four, three, two...
one!
Along with the final countdown, a ray of light far brighter than the fireworks exploded in the distant night sky.
Boom——
The earth-shattering roar caused the ground to tremble slightly, as if a small earthquake had occurred. The students who were still celebrating the New Year were frozen in place, staring in amazement in the direction where the light came from.
Wen Li also widened her eyes in surprise, staring at the familiar flame, and forgot all the words.
That’s the direction of Phoenix Mountain!
