Day 7
Xiao Hei really wanted to complain loudly, but he didn't dare.
The brooding chicken was the elder among the elders, a dignified and prestigious chicken, holding considerable status in the territory. How could he dare to speak so arrogantly and unscrupulously? What if...he had another plan?
Just when the group of beasts were getting anxious, suddenly a pair of large eyes with distinct black and white in the territory met their gaze.
Their "undercover", Xiaobai!
Xiaobai was gesturing at them frantically, his eyes almost twitching.
Uncle Rong: “?”
"What does he mean?" Uncle Rong asked Xiao Hei as he stepped back.
"He told us to... retreat first."
Uncle Rong nodded and said to the chicken, "Xiaobai seems to have completely gained the humans' trust. He must have his reasons for asking us to retreat. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding?"
The brindle was struck by several arrows, unable to withstand the heavy damage. While astonished by the human weaponry, it also realized something: it seemed... there must have been some misunderstanding.
"Then retreat first! Let Xiaobai support us!"
The four beasts locked gazes from afar, each "understanding" the other's intentions. A massive "attack" had begun with a vengeance but ended with a whimper, a conclusion devoid of a beginning or end...
Ye Miaomiao looked at the three beasts that were forced to retreat and rubbed her forehead helplessly. She had no idea how she had angered these third-level people. She just hoped...there would be no changes in the blood moon tomorrow.
"Attention, defense! All security teams, go to the factory to get armor. Don't go too far from the territory tomorrow!"
"yes!"
"It's evening now, let's go to bed early."
The crowd dispersed impetuously, each carrying a deep sense of unease. It was unknown how many would remain sleepless tonight. But the night was like water, and no matter how much people hated it, the sky was particularly dark and refreshing.
Day 7, clear sky, blood moon day.
When the sky was just getting light, it was already tinged with red light, and the whole earth seemed to be shrouded in an inexplicable and strange color.
After last night's incident, everyone speculated that mysterious attacks would occur two days before and after the blood moon. Anyone brave enough to leave for work in the morning was definitely a brave warrior. After completing their guard duty and eating lunch, almost no one left the territory.
Fortunately, there is a "Yellowstone Mine" in the territory, where temporary residents can also collect resources, as long as they pay a 5% territory tax...
Ye Miaomiao also had the same sense of panic. Even after completing the requirements of the Blood Moon side quest, she still felt uneasy. This was probably a common human problem.
However, when I saw the thick walls, the neat security team, and the sufficient ammunition, I suddenly felt at ease.
Ye Miaomiao deeply felt that the sense of security was indeed brought by the warehouse.
As the red color of the sky grew dimmer and eerier, the time came to eight o'clock.
The terrifying red color spread across the entire grassland. The clouds began to move abnormally, swirling towards the very center of the top. A huge blood-red planet was heading towards this side at an extremely fast speed.
Everything was coated in a strange red, and even the normally swaying grass gave off a sense of terror. Everyone's eyes seemed to be veiled in a bloody veil, and all they could hear was the pounding of their own hearts.
All the security team members were wearing iron armor and standing on the wall. Ye Miaomiao stood on the watchtower with another NPC.
Eight fifty-nine.
The restless sounds came from a distance, and everyone suddenly became nervous, whether it was the security team or the people inside the wall who were nervously holding the hands of their relatives, friends, and lovers.
The sky turned completely dark red. If someone turned on the screen at this moment, they would see that their time "20:59:59" jumped for a moment and then turned into a dangerous red.
Countdown [00:01]
Blood Moon...is coming!
“Woo——”
Some sounds belong to wild beasts, some sounds belong to humans, and they come from the distance in the same crazy way. If you look carefully, you will find that some sounds seem to belong to one of them, but their source is another, like human but not human, like beast but not beast.
Everyone was startled by the terrifying howl, and then a chaotic mess of figures appeared at the end of the surface -
Ye Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat and she forced herself to calm down.
She looked at the serious faces around her and behind her, took a deep breath, and turned back to face the crazy monster.
"Get ready!" Ye Miaomiao shouted!
.
On the morning of the seventh day, the sky turned red.
Whether you believe in the blood moon or not, you have to consider one fact at this time - if the blood moon is fake, then why is the sky red?
If self-deception is a natural phenomenon, then at eight o'clock in the evening, when the entire sky turns blood red at an incredible speed and a huge star appears overhead, everyone will know that the blood moon is absolutely real.
"damn it!!"
The leader of Tianyi Village kicked Zhang Shuo to the ground in fear, and his usually elegant face could no longer maintain the fear.
The blood cast a layer of hideousness on his face.
"Kill him! Kill him!" the lord shouted madly.
Several men dragged Zhang Shuo up expressionlessly. In fact, although they stole and robbed, they never killed people, otherwise... there wouldn't be so many prisoners in the dungeon.
But today everyone suddenly had an intuition - today is the last day.
A terrifying malice arose out of nowhere. They were going to die, and could the culprit have an easier death than them?
cannot.
Zhang Shuo was stripped naked and thrown to the ground like a sheep with its wool burned. A stone knife was thrown out by someone and landed beside him.
The desperate people fell into madness, starting with the first person to attack. Dark red blood reflected the strange light and flowed all over the ground.
“I don’t want to die!”
The leader suddenly shouted, lowered his head, and drank a mouthful of Zhang Shuo's still hot blood like a madman. The moment the warm liquid flowed into his body -
For some reason, he felt full of strength and thought of another territory.
"Divine Light!" he shouted.
He suddenly took out a particle of light from his backpack and threw it at the "simple fence". A blood-red light flashed and an eerie creaking sound came from deep underground.
Strange flesh thorns grew out of the ground and wrapped around the fence like thorns, or rather - these flesh thorns were the fence itself.
The leader quietly watched the fence introduction on the screen for a while, and the taste of blood in his mouth suddenly became strong.
"Quick, drag the prisoner out and kill him with divine light and blood!" He suddenly understood something and laughed out loud, "If we exchange blood for the power of divine light, we can still live!"
A terrifying scene: In a world shrouded in blood, everyone is caught up in a frenzied "sacrifice." They themselves don't know if they will be able to calmly recall the scene of this night after the sacrifice is over.
While the sacrifice was being performed, a trembling man emerged from the corner and quietly dragged away Zhang Shuo's body, which had been tortured beyond recognition.
.
Earlier, Li Jing secretly left with the remaining rice.
The remaining people in the small territory were in a panic and searched everywhere for her. Then they realized that the woman might have gone to the "Hungry Hungry" territory.
The increasingly strange sky gave them an incomparable sense of fear.
"Let's...let's go to the Hungry Hungry territory too!" Someone shouted.
"No!" the captain shouted, "If we go, we'll admit that those two women are right! Do you think they're right and we're wrong?"
The other person shuddered and said nothing.
Of course they were right. Li Jing and Li Mu were just two unprofessional playmates...
"Maybe it's just a common astronomical phenomenon, known to them in advance and used to fool people, and you actually believed it?" the captain sarcastically asked, "Do you really believe that the blood moon mentioned by this 'hungry, hungry, hungry' territory is trustworthy?"
"Then we..."
"Let's spend the night first, and then go to that territory to catch them tomorrow. Really..."
Several people returned to the dilapidated wooden house, but the feeling of uneasiness and fear was like a maggot in their bones, becoming more torturous as the weather became increasingly terrible.
Everyone turned a deaf ear to the celestial phenomenon until the howl of a wild beast sounded in the silent forest.
They instinctively shuddered—
"Wha...what!"
The howling did not stop, but instead sounded from all directions like a nightmare, with all kinds of sounds mixed together and echoing in the dense trees.
"Go...go see what it is!" the captain ordered.
The team member felt himself trembling, and he suddenly began to doubt whether his choice was the right one. Granted, the captain came from a privileged family, and his family was powerful, and the two sisters, Li Jing and Li Mu... but... for the first time, he felt that the end had arrived, perhaps...
His hand was on the door, motionless.
Li Jing's boyfriend scoffed and pulled the team member away: "Coward!"
He pushed the door open violently, as if to dispel his fear by pushing the door open, and then -
A strange figure appeared in the forest, its twisted body nestled among the ghostly tree trunks, shrouded in a strange red light. For a moment, he froze in place, almost unable to move in terror.
The terrifying scream was heard again, but this time it was human.
The fear will not stop until daybreak.
.
Ye Miaomiao stared closely at the front line where the battle was raging. The light screen flashed before her.
Three o'clock in the morning.
No one was sleepy, and no one was sleeping, because every time the wall lost 100 points of health, everyone would receive a system notification -
[Your territory, "Hungry Hungry," is under attack, losing 100 health points. Currently, the wall only has... 1400 points left.]
...
[Your territory, "Hungry Hungry," is under attack, losing 100 health points. Currently, the wall only has... 1200 points left.]
Even though it had been upgraded to the third level "Solid Iron Wall" and had 1500 health points, it was only occasionally penetrated every two hours, losing about 100 health points.
But everyone knows that there is more to it than that, because... there is another character who has not appeared——
Sure enough, at three o'clock in the morning, when the territory's health value dropped to 1200 points, there was a commotion on the wall, and everyone knew - the dog who betrayed the human alliance is here!
Ye Miaomiao looked calmly at the figure shrouded in blood not far away.
Even though she had read the "law enforcement records" sent by the security guard, and even though she had faced the monster for several hours and felt that she had been well trained, she still couldn't help but feel nauseous when she saw Lord Yu.
The reason is simple: this former human being has become too unhuman.
He held a dim blueprint in his hand, and behind him was a group of restless monsters. These monsters were so numerous that it was unclear whether they were the result of several waves of beasts.
The moment Lord Yu raised the blueprint, he looked at Ye Miaomiao on the city wall.
To be precise, it was the tumor on his stomach that drooled over Ye Miaomiao with an evil, greedy look.
It seemed to be expecting to see a look of fear on Ye Miaomiao's face, but to its disappointment, the territory lord that it wanted to devour suddenly grinned.
Really...
Ye Miaomiao looked at the tumor's very human expression of surprise and couldn't help but smile even more brightly.
Finally... she slowly pulled up the bow that she hadn't drawn all night, and put on a "safety helmet" on her head.
【Safety is your lifelong companion, and life is but once.】
[All attributes increase by 3 points for 1 minute.]
Did you hear that? Lord Yu, you only have one life.
Ye Miaomiao consciously turned on the "No need to aim" function, silently reciting the safety slogan in her mind, and suddenly stopped when she aimed at the tumor's head.
The crosshairs moved away from the head and returned to the hand holding the "blueprint" high—
This blueprint was familiar to her, as it seemed she also had a magical krypton gold contract. Just imagine what kind of magical prop could control so many of God's people in the same way that the krypton gold contract controlled the "divine light"?
Ye Miaomiao's eyes met the tumor head again, and that evil smile suddenly gave it an ominous premonition.
The bow was pulled to full length, making a buzzing sound. Ye Miaomiao's fingers loosened slightly, and with a whoosh, the arrow flew off the string.
The tumor head seemed to be aware of the danger and quickly retracted its head into Yu Chao's stomach.
However... its premonition was wrong. The arrow was not heading towards it, but flew over thousands of soldiers and horses, heading towards his raised hand.
Almost everyone suddenly stopped and their eyes were focused on the arrow. The lord had not drawn the bow all night. Had he finally found its purpose?
But...will it succeed?
With a "puff" sound, the iron arrow pierced Yu Chao's entire arm.
The blade-like arrow shot off his entire wrist, and the hand that was tightly holding the blueprint flew away like a firecracker and fell into the crowded monsters.
The arm was still raised high, but all that was left was the gushing smelly blood, like a Venus with its arms broken.
A magical force disappeared quietly.
The tumor poked its head out sluggishly, but was suddenly knocked to the ground by the monster behind it - without the protection of props, even though it was a "child of God", it became a piece of cake.
On the crazy battlefield, the first terrified roar it uttered since its birth was drowned out by the tide of beasts.
"Can we hold it?" Ye Miaomiao calmly asked Fang Yan beside her.
"able!"
.
At this moment, Uncle Eagle, Wolf King and a group of warlike brothers from the Storm Territory were waving their sharp weapons and rushing towards the Hungry Hungry Territory.
"It's too late! Too late! It's all your fault! You should have taken the opportunity to flatten Yu Chao's half-finished territory! It's too late now, maybe the Hungry Hungry territory has already been destroyed!"
Uncle Eagle was flying in the air at the speed of a missile, and the Wolf King under him was following closely without falling behind, with more than fifty brave soldiers behind him.
What else could the Wolf King say? He galloped on without a word, his fierce eyes fixed on the distance, where he could already smell the strong smell of blood.
If...it's really as Uncle Ying said, he is the culprit.
Speaking of which, Huaji and others failed in their "petition with gifts", and Xiaobai pointed out a famous way for them - let Uncle Ying and others lead troops to the Hungry Hungry territory during the blood moon.
Xiaobai was being watched closely by a human at that time, as if they were afraid that he would do something stupid, so he just said this and quickly returned to the human territory.
Xiao Hei is Xiao Bai's good brother, he completely understands what Xiao Bai means——
This is what humans call "a hero saving a beauty". They, the Storm Territory, appeared when the Hungry Territory needed support the most and saved the Hungry Territory from danger.
Imagine, a petite and lovely woman like Ye Miaomiao, the Hungry Lord, trapped among a group of terrifying people of God. Uncle Ying, like a god descending from heaven, majestically flies to her, sweeping away all threats around her and domineeringly protecting her under his wings...
Isn’t this worthy of Ye Miaomiao being moved and worthy of trust?
For the first time, Xiao Hei felt that his good brother Xiao Bai was not that stupid.
Occasionally, useful things would pop out of that big head.
This is how the scene happened where Uncle Eagle and the Wolf King rushed to the Hungry Hungry territory together.
However, after listening to Xiao Hei's words, the Wolf King had a deeper understanding - if they flattened the territory of Lord Yu, who had been sowing discord, and took Lord Yu's head to give to Ye Miaomiao, wouldn't that be a good thing?
The more the beasts listened, the more excited they became, and they could almost imagine the scene that would happen.
They flattened Lord Yu's territory at a rapid speed, but were shocked to find that Yu Chao was not in the territory. A bad premonition arose in their mind. By then, it was already 2:40 in the morning.
At three o'clock in the morning, when Uncle Eagle and the Wolf King almost thought that the Hungry Hungry territory had been destroyed, they finally arrived near the territory.
Then, they saw to their horror—as expected! Lord Yu had already appeared around the Hungry Hungry territory!
Fortunately, the hungry hungry territory has not been destroyed.
Just as the group of beasts were about to perform the heroic deed of "rescuing the beauty", Uncle Ying's eyes narrowed. He first saw the extremely fast arrow -
The arrow shot out from the air, piercing through the stagnant air from the three-meter-high watchtower, drawing a sharp arc, and headed towards Lord Yu who was hurriedly retreating.
The arrow was so fast that even Uncle Ying felt a chill in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar prop fell from the sky, and Lord Yu, who they thought was a big trouble, was instantly enveloped by the tide of beasts.
Wolf King: "..."
Uncle Ying: “…”
"It seems...there is nothing left for us to do." The Wolf King looked at the battlefield which was gradually becoming flat. He could not imagine how a new territory could withstand two waves of blood moons?
But it makes sense, otherwise why would this territory be their destined savior?
Thinking about it this way, it seems even more regrettable to miss the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty.
"It's all your fault." Uncle Ying spat at the Wolf King, but the Wolf King said nothing. Not only the Wolf King, but the entire team was unhappy.
"Wait!" Uncle Ying suddenly said happily.
The semi-finished product of God's people that Lord Yu had transformed into had an unusually strong vitality. Even after being bitten and trampled by monsters, it was not completely dead yet and was struggling to escape from this horrific battlefield.
Uncle Ying suddenly flew up and leaped towards Lord Yu. He proudly grabbed the dim prop with one foot and the twisted body of Lord Yu with the other, then flew back with a big laugh.
"Isn't this a meritorious service?"
