The Eve of the Blood Moon (V)
Xiaobai felt that he was being wronged.
He originally came here to gather intelligence, but inexplicably... he ended up working for the Hungry Hungry Territory for an entire afternoon and a whole night?
The story begins with the large bruise on his leg.
Xiaobai considers himself to be a strong and healthy person, having been a hunter since childhood, and there is nothing he can't break. So when he sees "fake and inferior products", his first reaction is to show these humans how he can loosen up these false and deceptive things.
But if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Xiaobai was caught off guard and struck by the arrow. Just as he was in so much pain that his eyes were filled with tears and he was limping, he heard the human next to him burst into laughter.
Xiaobai: “…” Damn humans.
He then picked up the axe and took a closer look—wow! The material was actually the same as the third-level weapon in the territory!
Could it be a genuine Level 3 weapon? But where would a Level 3 weapon come from in such a newly created territory? Could it be that counterfeit products have become so blatant that even the materials themselves can be imitated at will?
In any case, Xiaobai has to keep the axe and study it carefully.
But he was in human territory, and he had to abide by the rules of human territory. So...
Xiaobai agreed to Lu Zhiwu's offer to go chop down trees with him and earn 25 points to pay him back. Initially, Xiaobai planned to just pay back the points and leave, but gradually he discovered that chopping down trees with the iron axe was smoother than he had imagined.
With a simple swing of his axe, he could split a thick trunk cleanly. A couple more hits and it would fall with a creak, exploding with apples, resin, and other small items.
Xiaobai was itching to chop trees: I thought chopping trees was hard work, but it turned out to be a blind box opening game.
He happily collected all sorts of things, completely immersed in it. Lu Zhiwu and the others were veritable workaholics, and it wasn't until nearly nine o'clock in the evening that they said goodbye to each other and prepared to return to the territory.
When Xiaobai realized that he was being wronged, he had already exchanged all the resources he had earned from selling his labor for an entire afternoon on the task board. After deducting 25 points for the loan, he still got 35 points that were useless and could not be used in the Storm Territory.
Even more surprising is, what did he see?
Why... in this vicious, evil, terrifying territory, were so many people seemingly working together to build defenses? Xiaobai was completely baffled.
Is this reasonable? It is not reasonable!
So...Xiaobai immediately found a reason for his unreasonable behavior throughout the afternoon.
He's sick, not only with his brain but also with his eyes. If nothing goes wrong, he'll have to see the witch doctor when he returns to Stormwind Territory.
"What happened?" Lu Zhiwu and his group were no less shocked than Xiaobai.
How come the territory seemed to have changed completely after they left for an afternoon?
Look at this bustling crowd. From the entrance to the territory, several lines of people stood around it, passing various materials and strange props back and forth. Several people gathered in the middle, and the sound of hammering and banging could be heard. The familiar Zhang Jiajia led several teams, each of them passing delicious food back and forth.
They seemed out of place having just returned from work.
"What happened?" Lu Zhiwu quickly grabbed someone passing by and asked, his expression quickly changing from confusion to shock.
While they were talking, Xiaobai's expression tensed. He slowly took a step back, and when he saw that Lu Zhiwu didn't notice, he turned around and walked behind the wall on one side of the territory.
A dark figure was crawling in the grass not far away.
He squatted there for who knows how long, his body stiff, alert to the point where he would leap up and flee at the slightest sign of trouble. He had only one thought in his mind:
What a horrible man-eating territory!
His brother Xiaobai hadn't replied for such a long time, and it was very likely that he had met with misfortune. It was unknown whether he had suffered any torture before he left.
My former best friend! Once I confirm you've sacrificed your life for the territory, I'll return to report the truth to the lord and avenge you! Don't worry, I'll visit your grave every year...
Burning incense...Huh?
A tall and strong figure appeared in front of him with the backlight. Just as he was about to run away, he suddenly looked closely and saw the fair and clean face. Wasn't it his deceased brother, Xiaobai?
Xiao Hei heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he became furious.
"What are you doing! Why didn't you come to see me all afternoon!"
Xiaobai: "..." Going to work for other territories, earning money from other territories, and buying tools from other territories, is this something you can say?
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Xiao Hei's expression change, and he shrank back into the grass, instantly blending completely into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.
Lu Zhiwu's cheerful voice came from behind him, "Brother Bai, hurry up! Volunteer and get a free meal! I sent it here, and I'll pick one up for you! Let's go together and contribute to the defense of the territory!"
"You're so strong, you can definitely contribute to the defense of the territory!"
Contribute...to another territory?
Xiaobai met the questioning eyes in the bushes with sharp eyes and waved his hands awkwardly: "What are you talking about!"
He was about to defend himself when his nose twitched, and a strong, meaty aroma overwhelmed him. This smell... for Xiaobai, who had been tortured by the village eunuch's "burning" art since childhood, was an unprecedented and exotic fragrance.
He sniffed left and right, then up and down with his slightly round nose, and finally found the source of the fragrance - the two plates in Lu Zhiwu's hands.
Then, the source of the fragrance, like the spring breeze in March and the sunshine in April, was brought to him without any preparation.
Lu Zhiwu said carelessly: "Eat quickly, then go work for the territory!"
Xiaobai stretched out his sinful hands uncontrollably... But after eating, he would have to work for the territory... He paused, then stiffened his entire body and turned over, like a pancake flipped over in a pan—
Selling one's body for food is not edible.
"What's wrong, Brother Bai? Today, the lord brought back steak from the dungeon! It's a rare delicacy! Look, I specially picked out the fat and lean parts for you. You don't know, when I took it, the fat was still sizzling, it really made me drool..."
Xiaobai swallowed his saliva as he spoke.
Just as he was struggling, Lu Zhiwu said, "Don't you want to help the territory? Hey, Brother Bai, the territory's affairs are all our affairs. The territory is facing great difficulties now. We should help if we can, otherwise..."
Big difficulty?
Xiaobai's eyes turned and met the eyes of Xiaohei who was hiding.
"What big difficulty?" he asked casually.
"Tsk, I thought you were my brother Bai and I didn't care! Eat first, and I'll tell you after dinner!"
Lu Zhiwu was busy handing the delicious meat to Xiaobai. Xiaobai swallowed his saliva and pretended to accept it, while maintaining an embarrassed look on his face.
He sniffed it happily, his mouth slightly opened, and he couldn't wait to gobble it up.
However, Xiaobai felt a sharp pain in his ankle and his whole body tensed up, knowing that it was Xiaohei reminding him.
He resisted the temptation and asked again: "What difficulty?"
"Difficult?" Lu Zhiwu said nonchalantly, chewing a piece of pork ribs. "Blood Moon!"
Blood moon?
He said this while eating, and Xiaobai and Xiaohei were both stunned for a moment - did they... hear it wrong?
"Blood...blood moon?" Xiaobai felt his voice trembling. When he said the last word, his words suddenly rose up like a balloon being blown out.
Isn't the blood moon still a hundred years away? He never expected to hear these two words here!
"Yeah, it's not a big deal, just a blood moon." Lu Zhiwu ate the ribs nonchalantly, as if the ribs in his mouth were a hundred times more important than a "mere" blood moon.
Xiaobai: Suffocation! Witch doctor! Where is the witch doctor?
"It's a blood moon, after all, but I didn't expect..." Lu Zhiwu sighed. "Lord Yu, who used to rule our human territory, is actually bent on using God's people to eliminate us. He's got a special tool that can lure all the monsters that attack their territory on blood moon days to ours. It's like we have to deal with a double blood moon."
"Fortunately, someone from his territory escaped and tipped off the enemy. We must unite and prevent him from succeeding." Lu Zhiwu spat the bone on the ground viciously. "Hmph! I'll be moving bricks soon!"
Xiaobai: “?” This was a far cry from the news he had heard.
He met the pair of eyes in the bushes again and saw the same shock and disbelief.
Two completely different statements, one of them must be lying, so who is lying? The Hungry Hungry Territory or Lord Yu's territory?
Xiaobai suddenly felt less confident.
"Okay...well, you go first, I'll be there in a while." He evaded the question.
Lu Zhiwu had just finished his last bite of food and glanced at him hesitantly. "Then I'll go first. If you... want to come, I've already signed you up."
Xiaobai nodded reluctantly.
After Lu Zhiwu walked away, Xiao Hei finally emerged from the bushes, revealing a slender figure - at the top of his winding and cold body, a thin tongue hissed twice.
"This guy doesn't seem to be lying. I don't smell any lies on him." Xiao Hei pondered, "But what he said is too outrageous. I must go back and report to the lord immediately."
"The blood moon is really coming, I..." Xiaobai hesitated.
"Don't worry, you stay here and continue gathering information. You've performed a great deed this time. If the blood moon really comes, the lord will send troops to rescue you. Even if this territory is destroyed, you will be safe."
Xiaobai looked at the Hungry Hungry Territory from afar - that was not what he actually wanted to say.
But before Xiaobai could finish his words, Xiaohei had already slipped into the grass and disappeared in a moment.
Really...
Xiaobai looked at Xiaohei's figure from afar, stuffed the meat into his mouth in distress, and chewed it fiercely twice. The aroma of the barbecued meat rushed into his body without any defense, occupying all his five senses -
Hiss...Huh?
It's really...how...so delicious! ?
Thick gravy spurted out, and the complex aroma spread all the way from his mouth to his spine, and then back to the top of his head!
When the fragrance reached his head, his tail uncontrollably slipped out of his trouser leg and shook twice in complete relaxation.
Xiaobai: “!” Oops! The tail is exposed!
Xiaobai quickly squatted down and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he carefully stuffed his tail into his socks, touched his little heart and gasped.
Delicious food can mislead people, delicious food can mislead people. He almost fell into the trap.
But...it seemed like he forgot to tell Xiao Hei something...what was it? Xiao Bai was so eager to retract his tail that he forgot about it for a moment.
The arrival of night did nothing to dampen the bustling atmosphere within the territory. Instead, like a stewed chicken soup, the energy grew stronger and stronger after a night of simmering.
Early in the morning of the sixth day, before the sun rose, there were sounds of banging outside the door.
Ye Miaomiao turned over painfully on the stiff bed. After sleeping on the hard bed for several days, she felt as if her whole body had been pierced through. She felt indescribable pain and pain.
Be sure to sew a thick cotton mattress!
To improve your life, you must first strive for a moderately prosperous society.
When I walked out of the cabin, the air was already filled with the strong aroma of breakfast, which whetted my appetite. A new day was about to begin!
She grabbed some food from the kitchen and headed towards the tavern.
.
At this moment, Lu Zhichao was digging the ground hard.
The nearly 100-meter-long tunnel was like a passage to hell. He dug furiously for a whole day, but while not entirely fruitless, he found almost nothing.
"Huh? You're still here?" A familiar voice came from behind.
Lu Zhichao turned around aggrievedly and saw Ye Miaomiao coming down from upstairs carrying a bowl of delicious food. Her face still had the confusion of having just woken up, and she looked puzzled.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
The Lord cares about me! Lu Zhichao reflexively jumped for joy, then stared at Ye Miaomiao cautiously. Could it be...nothing good?
He thought carefully for a moment and shook his head: "I ate a little."
"A little? You're not hungry, are you?" Ye Miaomiao didn't say anything, but just gave him a gesture of encouragement: "It's okay, there's still a long way to go for the wheelchair, you can dig slowly."
Lu Zhichao: “…” Thank you so much!
He watched Ye Miaomiao disappear at the end of the tunnel, then, with a shovel in hand, he continued digging within the white line. He wondered in his heart, "Why would a wheelchair need such a wide road? How long will it take to dig this far?"
The aroma of the food became fainter as Ye Miaomiao left, but Lu Zhichao's stomach growled after smelling the food and began to move involuntarily.
Lu Zhichao felt miserable. In order to save money, he shared breakfast with others and only ate half of the usual amount. It was of no use - he was hungry!
Lu Zhichao couldn't help but spit at his own mouth again. He was so happy that it hurt him, Lu Zhichao!
I don't know how long this hard time will last...
"Thank you for your hard work." At this time, a voice came silently from behind.
Lu Zhichao turned his head suddenly and saw an unfamiliar person, who seemed to be a volunteer, handing him a piece of egg corn wrapped in a leaf and a cup filled with light red liquid.
"Give...give it to me?" Lu Zhichao couldn't believe it.
"Aren't you a volunteer?" He was stunned, obviously not knowing that Lu Zhichao was "exiled" here to do hard labor.
Lu Zhichao shook his head bitterly: "I'm not."
"Whether you are or not, the lord asked me to bring this to you. She said that you are half an employee and can go to the cafeteria to get food during these hours. Please accept it."
The volunteer forced the eggs and corn into Lu Zhichao's hands, and turned and left without paying any attention to what Lu Zhichao said.
Lu Zhichao looked at the food in his hands with a complicated expression. He was clearly being punished to do hard labor, so what did he have...? Lu Zhichao, a grown man, suddenly felt like crying.
"Oh! That's right!" a volunteer's voice boomed from the end of the tunnel. "This wine helps speed up work. Manager Zuo asked me to bring it over! Remember to return the cup after you finish it!"
Manager Zuo? That... Lame, no, Zuo Haohan? He actually...
Lu Zhichao slowly ate a mouthful of corn and drank a sip of wine...
He was suddenly stunned: "Huh?"
On the dashboard, his status bar had a new booster—[Six-Day Brew (less than a cup, 30% effect): All Attributes +10, Professional Gain +400%, Resistance +20 (from the wish of brewer Zuo Haohan); Duration: 24 hours.]
Lu Zhichao: “?” He suddenly finished the glass of wine, and suddenly felt an inexplicable heat all over his body, as if he had suddenly gained strength and inexplicably became a strongman!
Let alone one tunnel, even if there were three more, Lu Zhichao could dig them all!
This wine is actually... so powerful!
A wish from winemaker Zuo Haohan... Lu Zhichao silently looked at the words, thinking of his recent nonsense, and wanted to slap himself in the face. Even if he had ten of them, they couldn't make wine with this quality!
What a joke!
At this moment in the dungeon, Ye Miaomiao was also shocked by the effect of [Six Days Brew].
Zuo Haohan showed a long-lost smile on his face: "Although I don't know what this resistance does, but my legs really don't hurt at all. It's incredible!"
He was tortured by the pain for ten years. From a cheerful boy, he became a gloomy young man with an uncontrollable temper. People who knew him were unwilling to talk to him easily, let alone those he didn't know.
Every time it rained, he was in excruciating pain. Alcohol could rarely relieve the anxiety and pain of his lame leg - no wonder he obtained the wish increase of "Resistance +20".
However, Ye Miaomiao was even more shocked by another point: the price of this wine.
A barrel of wine is worth 600 points!
This is the system purchase price, the most fair price! Ye Miaomiao was shocked by the price on the spot. She then looked up wines with older years.
For every 3-day increase, the price increases by 200 points.
Ye Miaomiao: “?” What kind of outrageous profit is this! Just imagine, a barrel of wine made from the cheapest berries, just put it somewhere, and in three days, it can turn into 200 points out of thin air?
Is this wine? This is clearly a cash cow!
Even usury/loans are not this exaggerated!
At this moment, Ye Miaomiao felt that she was fine again, very fine.
"It's good that it doesn't hurt! It's good that it doesn't hurt!" She patted Zuo Haohan's shoulder kindly. At that moment, she felt the same as Bell did -
This is her new breadwinner!
"When brewing wine, the more the better. You don't need the divine light, just put it in the cellar and it will slowly undergo magical changes. Don't worry, my cellar is big enough to hold ten bottles of wine you brew."
Ye Miaomiao thought about it and simply issued a separate task to Zuo Haohan - "For every barrel of wine brewed, you will receive an additional 10 points in labor fee."
"No need! No need! I already..." Zuo Haohan quickly shook his head to refuse. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ye Miaomiao.
"You don't know, you don't understand." Ye Miaomiao looked at him lovingly: "If I give you any less, my conscience will be tormented."
Isn't it? Even if you give 10 more points, the cost of a barrel of wine is less than 100 points. Ye Miaomiao makes a net profit of 500 points, not to mention the price increase every three days.
Seeing Zuo Haohan thanking her without knowing anything, Ye Miaomiao, who was about to get a large amount of "cash cows", couldn't help but shed crocodile tears. What a... silly child.
.
Everything in the "Hungry Hungry" territory proceeded in an orderly fashion, like a well-oiled machine. With an ample supply of fruit wine, key personnel like the tool crew had significantly increased their efficiency, and the "machine" was running at an exceptionally high speed.
After completing the ten o'clock guard duty, the storage points in the warehouse gradually filled up. By two o'clock in the afternoon, everything had accumulated more and more, and everything was available.
Fifty bows and a thousand arrows were neatly placed on the weapon rack in the warehouse. On the other side, in the wicker baskets, there were several boxes of silver-gray and golden iron and copper materials.
Completed the task ahead of schedule! It's hard to believe that it only took one day and one night to complete.
However, Ye Miaomiao did not get complacent. She continued to demarcate more areas to store resources and newly acquired fruit wine.
On the other hand, the primary factory started to produce armor, so that if the monster has long-range attack means, the armor can provide extremely high defense and protect the security team members from sudden fatal damage.
As arrows were released one after another and a three-meter-high wall suddenly rose from thin air, the residents of the territory cheered, and the entire territory was filled with laughter and joy.
However, one side is happy while the other side is sad.
At 2:00 PM, just as the Hungry Hungry Territory completed the Blood Moon quest on time, a terrifying announcement spread to all territories in all regions.
A warm reminder from the "Hungry Hungry" territory in District 503464:
We have successfully uncovered the terrifying conspiracy against the Human Alliance. God's people are now poised to strike. To protect the Human Alliance, we hereby announce the "Blood Moon Disaster" as follows: On the seventh day after the start of the game, and every seven days thereafter, a Blood Moon will appear...
Please prepare quickly, warning! This is not a joke! This is not a joke! Please unite as a global player and help each other. We are with you!
.
At this moment, Zhang Shuo was lying blankly on the wet mud ground. There were many messy stones on the ground, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable.
His clothes were dirty and damp, his hair was a mess, and there were wounds and blood on his body and face, making him look like a homeless person from the slums. If someone familiar with him were to identify him, no one would recognize him - this former top student who graduated from X University, not even his girlfriend and brother who he spent every day with.
"Hungry Hungry Territory? Is that where that kid came from?"
At this time, Zhang Shuo heard a familiar term...hungry, hungry, hungry. He turned these three words over in his mind and found that he wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
"Hello!"
The man kicked the cage, and immediately the crowded people in the cage grumbled in dissatisfaction, and several of them glared at Zhang Shuo fiercely.
"You, from Hungry Hungry Territory?" The man squatted down and poked Zhang Shuo's face with the tip of the reed in his hand. "Damn, that's filthy."
Zhang Shuo hummed silently, and he found that his voice was hoarse.
"I'm asking you a question!"
Seeing no answer, the man stood up suddenly and kicked the cage hard.
Suddenly the whole cage shook violently, and the sharp bottom of the cage pierced the people in the cage, causing them unbearable pain. Most of them were already injured, and they screamed in pain.
"Yes... yes!" Zhang Shuo heard the sound of himself being rubbed by sandpaper.
"Come out, I have something to ask you!"
Zhang Shuo agreed loudly this time, his throat piercing. Trying not to touch the wound stuck to his clothes, he struggled to his feet and moved out like an elderly man.
Hungry, hungry, hungry... It happened just a few days ago, but it seems like a century ago.
What happened then?
Of course, he was still well-dressed and didn't have that many wounds on his body. He was so arrogant about being a top finance student that he couldn't stand seeing Chen Yan, a student with a specialization in physical education, living better than him. Even more, he couldn't stand seeing Li Ru abandon him.
He stole Chen Yan's life potion, exchanged it for points, and left the Hungry Hungry territory overnight, planning to go to Tianyi Village to buy a batch of goods that Hungry Hungry didn't have, and resell them back to make a fortune.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo grinned, his skin and flesh were torn apart, and the pain was heartbreaking, but he still wanted to laugh.
Why is he laughing? He is so stupid, so simple. Just looking at the name, I think Tianyi Village is a good place. It is indeed a good place——
A great place to rob and kill.
He was dressed respectably, carrying a wicker backpack, looking like a fat sheep. Even before he even got close to Tianyi Village, he was already being watched by people outside. He was completely oblivious when a man suddenly emerged from the bushes, asking for directions and checking to see if he had any teammates behind him.
It wasn't until several more people surrounded him from behind that Zhang Shuo noticed something was wrong.
He hurriedly ran in the direction of Tianyi Village. He didn't know if he was running fast or what, but the people behind him suddenly stopped chasing him. At that time, Zhang Shuo was still complacent, thinking that Tianyi Village was extremely intimidating and that he had come to the right place.
When he arrived at Tianyi Village, he was greeted by a group of people who listened to him explain his purpose with a smile. Then they suddenly changed their attitude, snatched away all his belongings, and beat him viciously while pinning him to the ground.
"Why? I'm really here to do business with sincerity!" Zhang Shuo felt like there were feet greeting him all over his body.
At first he was shouting his explanation in a hoarse voice, hoping that these people would understand his sincerity. Then he saw a man walking in from outside.
The man spat in his face: "What bad luck!" - it was the man who robbed him.
Zhang Shuo understood everything in an instant and cried out in despair.
After limping out of the dungeon, Zhang Shuo saw the lord of Tianyi Village. A middle-aged man, refined and elegant, with the air of a reasonable and cultured man, it was the style he had initially chosen to follow. Who knew that appearances could not be judged by appearances?
It was his bad luck that the first territory he encountered was the Hungry Hungry Territory, which gave him the illusion that any territory was good.
"Let me ask you, is the Hungry Hungry Territory really just like you said when you first arrived, with people not having enough to eat or warm clothes, and the territory being broke and poor?"
Zhang Shuo sneered and said nothing.
"Oh shit!"
A foot kicked him hard on the vest. Zhang Shuo was unable to support himself for a moment and suddenly fell forward. His hands were tied behind his back and his face touched the ground. With a "pop", a few traces of blood oozed out of the ground. A piece of gravel knocked out his front teeth.
Zhang Shuo only felt severe pain on his face. The hatred in his heart was like waterweed, wrapping around him tighter and tighter, and he was pulled up again.
"Let me ask you something! I received a notification about this Hungry Hungry Territory? They said all territories will experience a 'Blood Moon'? A monster attack that will last all night? Are they really that powerful? Can they complete this Blood Moon side quest and still pass on the news to us?"
The lord murmured, "Tell me, is this a joke? Who is their lord? What's the level of their territory?"
Hungry, hungry, hungry territory... Zhang Shuo knelt on the ground in confusion.
Over there... How's Chen Yan doing? He's been my brother since childhood, but he was possessed and harmed by a ghost... Li Ru, with only twenty-odd points, without Zhang Shuo, how's she doing...
He really wants to go back...
However, Zhang Shuo licked the flesh of his front teeth that was still connected.
"Their lord is a little girl, and their territory is just as shabby as I described before. I think..." The hatred swelling in his heart suddenly found vent, and Zhang Shuo said sincerely, "I don't think they have the ability to complete the side quests."
"The blood moon is fake."
"I told you so!" The Lord of Tianyi Manor relaxed instantly. "How could such a mysterious thing happen! If there was a mission, the system wouldn't notify us. How could it be the turn of his hungry territory to notify us?"
"That's not the way to joke, guys. Let's continue tonight and everything will be the same as before!"
"yes!"
Laughter and joy, continue singing and dancing.
Similar scenes were played out in many places. Some people were blinded by the villains, while others chose to close their eyes and not see.
The Blood Moon Notice was not only sent to the territories set by the system, but also to some small private territories of considerable size that had been gathered together.
Li Jing sat on the woodpile in a daze, wanting to leave this place for the umpteenth time.
She looked at the rice grains scattered randomly in front of her and felt a little...like crying.
After Li Mu left, just as she said, many small monsters appeared in the central area and continued to attack them.
We were all originally part of an outdoor group, and at the beginning, everyone was very united. We divided the work and cooperated, with one couple collecting food, another fending off invaders; the men used homemade tools to chop trees and build houses, while the women boiled water and cooked.
When Li Jing almost felt sorry that Li Mu left everyone because of a small difficulty, things changed.
At first, it was just a minor friction. After all, we were just outdoor people, not professional outdoor workers. The house, which looked rickety, collapsed halfway through construction.
If you are just "playing" outdoors, a peacemaker can stand up at this time, and everyone can laugh and start over.
But the problem is, it's the end of the world. Everyone is under tremendous pressure. If one person collects less food today, they will be blamed. If another person's guard is injured tomorrow, they will blame everyone for hiding behind him.
The house was like a fuse, igniting this small group that was not united to begin with.
Someone immediately suggested building a treehouse in a tree, so the monsters' attacks would be easily defeated—they couldn't climb trees. Someone else said treehouses were difficult to build, and that they should live on a cliff he'd visited, a natural cave suitable for living...
The original small group fell apart, and for the sake of "morality", Li Jing had to "divide" the food "equally" to everyone.
In the end, only she, her boyfriend, and three or four other people were left in the original place.
The ramshackle house was rebuilt, but... the small campsite was clearly no longer the same as before.
"You must be kidding." Li Jing's boyfriend came over with a few others, smiling. Seeing Li Jing sitting there blankly, he walked over and kicked the wood she was sitting on, looking a little disgusted.
"Your very stupid friend is the one who went to the Hungry Hungry Territory?"
Li Jing immediately understood who he was talking about and immediately retorted: "She's not stupid!"
"Then tell me, why are rumors spreading everywhere in the territory she went to? Blood Moon? Hahahaha, just like what she did back then, spreading rumors." The man laughed loudly, obviously not believing a word of the warning from Blood Moon.
"Do you think...she joined a pyramid scheme? Hahahahaha!"
"I insisted on taking you away. I think you should have left. After all, you couldn't keep this bag of rice. I told you not to give it away, but you didn't believe me. Tsk, maybe I could still keep this bag of rice if you left."
Li Jing lowered her head and did not refute a word, but felt tears in her eyes.
She turned on the screen and saw the blood moon notification. It was as if she was transported back to a few days ago, when she hadn't trusted her friends and thought that if everyone united, they would succeed...
"You're such a boaster," he said, holding his brother's shoulders as they walked towards "home," while still scorning him, "I don't know what you're thinking. What good will it do them to joke around like this?"
"Exactly. I'm speechless. Li Mu is really inexplicable."
Li Jing looked at their background silently, but her hands gradually clenched, as if she had made up her mind.
.
After all, the self-deceiving territories only account for a small minority, while the majority of territories adhere to the attitude of preferring to believe it to be true rather than not. Panic spreads everywhere like a disease.
But the brief panic was harmless, because it was followed by a frantic rush to build walls, recruit soldiers, and forge weapons, uniting the human territories as never before.
Similar scenes of "hungry, hungry, hungry" territories are happening in more places.
Soon, these people would know that the blood moon was real, and that the fear brought about by this notice had saved many lives. And the name "Hungry Hungry" would also spread from Area 503464 to the whole world along with the blood moon.
.
Let’s get back to the Storm Territory.
At this moment, after Xiao Hei hurriedly returned from the Elephant's territory, all the elders who had a say in the territory gathered in a tent.
The leader, with frightening tiger stripes on his face, was half-lying on a blanket in the center, surrounded by all sorts of animals, humanoids, or creatures that were half-human, half-animal.
The huge tent was silent. The animals seemed calm, but the anxiety on their faces revealed that they were extremely restless.
By the time Xiao Hei finished speaking, the Tiger King, who was leading the group, had already slammed his fist on the ground, angrily saying, "How could we let a half-finished product like Yu Chao...!" Even before he finished speaking, his fury was evident—
"Luckily, we didn't cause any trouble! Now we need to find someone we can rely on immediately. Let's go to the Hungry Hungry Territory right away."
The tiger's might was intimidating, and Xiao Hei was frightened and quickly retreated. Unexpectedly, the other animals immediately rushed to volunteer, completely ignoring the tiger king's majesty, as if they were fighting for some delicious food.
“I’ll go!”
"I'm more reliable!"
"I can go too!"
Xiao Hei was immediately confused. Are these seniors...crazy?
Unexpectedly, the Tiger King also said, "I'm good at dealing with humans!"
The beasts looked at each other in confusion.
A flashy chicken suddenly stood out and said cautiously, "Tiger King, you are so majestic and powerful that humans would be scared. I heard that humans love chickens the most. Why don't I lead the team and take a few who can transform into humans with us to the Hungry Hungry Territory."
The other one immediately stood up after hearing what it said: "The brooding chicken is right! I am half man and half horse. I can maintain my human form without transforming. Humans must be very friendly to me."
