The Eve of the Blood Moon (VI)
Ye Miaomiao had no idea that a strange gift was on the way.
At that moment, in the central area, a sharp, piercing gong sounded, and an iron arrow pierced the greenskin's big toe with a "whoosh." The monster's fierce, crusty eyes instantly became misty with tears as it stared blankly at the evil woman before it.
"Another one."
Ye Miaomiao happily put the hemp rope into a loop and put it around the little green head's short neck.
Looking towards the hemp rope, I saw a long hemp rope like a string of candied haws, with more than twenty small monsters of different sizes strung on it.
These monsters, who usually look ferocious and show their fangs and claws, are now lined up one by one, cowering behind their companions and whimpering like timid mice, for fear of being targeted by the "female devil" in the front.
Who would have thought that they, who were usually so powerful and wealthy, would have fallen into such a state today?
"Oh, the blood volume is too low." Ye Miaomiao kindly squatted down and dripped a drop of life potion into the little green head's mouth.
These little monsters in the central area are at most half the level of first-level god's subjects. Ye Miaomiao's weapon level is too high. It is not an easy task to capture a few of them alive.
Thanks to the "no need to aim" feature, this skill can accurately strike the least lethal spot. Is this also a brand new development?
"That should be enough..." Ye Miaomiao pulled a long string of monsters behind the hemp rope, and there were exactly twenty of them from the beginning to the end.
Satisfied, she tied a knot at the top of the rope, mission accomplished!
Everything about the territory was proceeding smoothly, the residents were busy with construction, and the security team continued their training. While Ye Miaomiao was directing the placement of traps, she suddenly ran into a difficult situation.
The reason is simple. There are many formations for placing traps, and they can achieve the best effect by coordinating with each other. Ye Miaomiao is not sure which formation is better.
She simply designed and arranged several small, semi-finished products based on the principles she remembered. Practice makes perfect. Instead of dwelling on which one to use, she decided to personally capture a few small monsters in the central area and experiment with them—which led to the scene above.
When Ye Miaomiao returned to the territory with a long string of little monsters, several volunteers who were busy setting traps were already waiting for her.
When they first saw Ye Miaomiao, their faces were filled with joy. However, when Ye Miaomiao revealed the long line of little monsters behind her...
The expressions of the several people were different, and they couldn't help but feel complicated - when they heard Ye Miaomiao say to catch one or two to try, they really thought there were only... one or two.
How come... we can even form a football team!?
"Lord, there are too many of them. We won't... be unable to control them, right?" A volunteer was sweating and carefully dodged the little monsters as he approached Ye Miaomiao, fearing that one of them would rush up.
He was really in tears. You know, when he was collecting resources in the central area, what he feared most was encountering these things.
"No way," Ye Miaomiao was a little unconfident.
Turning around, I saw a long line of monsters of various colors. At first glance, they looked a little scary with their fangs and claws bared.
However, when Ye Miaomiao tentatively poked the little green head's head with the bow, it shrank back immediately, put its hands and feet in and stood still obediently. The monster behind it also looked like a kindergarten class lined up, without even a grin on its face.
The volunteer took in the entire scene, his small eyes filled with confusion: "?"
Is this the same green head as the little green head he knows?
"They are very obedient," Ye Miaomiao squatted down and touched the ugly big head of the little green head. "And they are very fragile. During the experiment, there is always someone next to them ready to feed them medicine, otherwise they will die easily."
Although the little green head didn't understand, it sensed the threatening gentleness of the female devil, and it whimpered in a proper manner.
Volunteer: “…” Confirmed, this is a brand new small green-headed variety.
"Lord, they won't explode suddenly, will they?" The volunteer was still a little worried.
"No!" Ye Miaomiao smiled brightly. She had already made arrangements.
As soon as the voice fell, four security teams appeared in everyone's sight. Ye Miaomiao explained: "I have already told the security guards that they will follow you when you feed the medicine. If there is a riot... It's just a matter of Yijian, just change one."
So...so scary!
The volunteer looked at the monsters who seemed to understand what was happening, and his fear suddenly disappeared - for the first time, he discovered that he was so compassionate.
The test began, and then this scene appeared——
Ye Miaomiao sat happily on a small stool, enjoying the aroma of fresh fried sunflower seeds. Around the "large testing ground" in front of her, many people who had worked hard on the trap gathered to see the fruits of their labor.
It was rare to see someone familiar, so Ye Miaomiao passed some melon seeds to them, and several people squatted beside her and ate them together.
In the middle of the testing grounds were various traps arranged in a complex pattern, including spikes, nets, and slingshots. A person on one side held a booklet and began drawing on it. When he finished, the person next to him raised his hand.
"put!"
The person on the other side immediately released a monster, which was being watched grimly by a security guard behind it. With nowhere to escape, they rushed towards the trap with tears in their eyes and no hesitation, like a fearless warrior.
However, after finally breaking through the first trap, the fragile warrior had only one drop of health left! The person guarding the trap quickly stepped forward, dripped a drop of health potion, and while observing, shouted, "8 plus 8 makes 16 health points!"
The person in the distance wrote it down in a book as instructed.
The monster's health returned, but the pain in its body and soul remained unresolved. It whimpered twice, the tip of its cold sword pointing straight ahead. With tears welling in its eyes, it continued fearlessly charging towards the next trap.
"8 plus 7 for a total of 15 health points!"
...
"Class E and Class C trap combination experiment, second time!"
Strange noises came one after another from not far away.
After eating the meal that sold his body and working in the "Hungry Hungry" territory for half a day for nothing, Xiaobai was so angry that he covered the meal with a large spoonful of gravy, secretly avoided Lu Zhiwu, and went to the corner outside the territory to eat - he was afraid that he could not control his tail and would be caught.
Work hard and make up for all the work you did for free!
The strange voice couldn't help but shout in delight, "8 plus 8 plus 8! There really is extra damage!"
Suddenly, a lively roar came from the other side. Amidst the noisy voices, there was also excited and heated discussion. Some people said, "Oh my God! This is amazing!" and some said, "Is this something we made? I can't believe it!"
noob:"?"
He'd heard this strange noise early in the morning, but it wasn't quite as lively then. Lu Zhiwu said they just needed to do their jobs, and that was the job of the other teams, so Xiaobai didn't ask any more questions.
but...
Xiaobai glanced hesitantly at the crowd in the distance, then at the meat in his hand, reluctant to part with either. He simply wolfed it down, and before the aroma could take over, he chewed a lettuce leaf, washing away the taste. His tail lay still and motionless.
Xiaobai: I ate something delicious, but I didn’t eat it.
But... he touched his belly to comfort himself, it was all his anyway.
After making sure that Tail wouldn't rebel, Xiaobai coughed lightly and squeezed into the crowd openly.
"Lord, you're truly amazing! I thought the wooden thorns I made were quite crude, but I didn't expect the damage would be so high after combining them!"
Xiaobai heard a girl next to him exclaim.
"That's the combination of you and me. With you and me, we have the extra eight points of damage just now." Another man's lingering voice sounded beside Xiaobai's ears.
noob:"...?"
He struggled desperately to squeeze out of the crowd and finally smelled a fresh breath.
However, what followed was a strong smell of God’s people.
Xiaobai's nose twitched. How could there be God's people here? He looked forward suddenly and saw a dozen monsters with strange heads of different sizes rushing towards the strange city defense props in the middle of the huge testing ground.
The moment they hit the props, their health dropped instantly and they were about to disappear in the wind.
Xiaobai: Oh, it turns out that some monsters are attacking the territory without knowing their own capabilities. This is a common occurrence in Storm Territory. He wondered why these people were so excited.
Boring humans, just guarding these little monsters and cheering...
Xiaobai was about to leave in boredom when he suddenly saw a man beside the trap dripping a drop of potion into the monster's mouth. Suddenly, the ugly green monster seemed to regain its vitality and raised its big head.
Xiaobai: “?” He quickly pulled back the foot that had just fallen over.
Then, the little monster shrank back and looked at the security team standing grimly beside it, then bravely charged towards the next prop.
There was only a shrill cry of "嘤!", and the crowd of onlookers cheered excitedly, as if they were watching a spectacular drama!
Xiaobai: "!" He suddenly felt cold all over.
The little green head fell to the ground miserably, making a "whimpering" sound, and his short and thick legs trembled helplessly in pain...
A drop of the horrible potion fell into its mouth, and it suddenly came back to life. But this was not a life-saving potion. Amid the excited cheers of the crowd, a sword was thrust into the monster's back, and it rushed towards the trap again, starting a new horrible cycle!
This is...what horrible fun!
Although Xiaobai admitted that these monsters that came to harass the territory from time to time had no "human rights" and he didn't like them, but! This was no reason to torture them!
Neither able to live nor to die, this is simply the evil form of torture!
Look at the "fair", "kind" and "friendly" looking human being opposite. As the culprit of everything, she is still happily cracking melon seeds with a smile that never fades.
horrible!
By analogy, you can imagine how they would torture God’s people!
Before, Xiaobai was still hesitant and self-doubting, because the Hungry Hungry Territory looked very decent from the inside out. Now he knows that he can't see with his eyes, he has to see with his heart!
This is indeed a terrifying, horrible, and evil territory!
Xiaobai stood there blankly until the experiment was over.
Ye Miaomiao stood in the middle and happily announced, "After an entire afternoon of hard work, we finally found the best combination. Three traps that only deal 8 points of damage each now add up to 40 points of damage! Thanks to our volunteers!"
Suddenly everyone cheered.
The usually feared little green and yellow heads have become beloved "volunteers" today! The fear of them has faded like a tide. How can these be scary monsters? They are clearly the heroes of the territory!
They were held high by enthusiastic humans, and some even generously gave away berries from their plates.
"My efforts paid off!" someone shouted. "I cut that piece of wood! Look, there's a little chip on it!"
"I can't believe this thing we made together actually has such terrifying damage! It's twice as much as my health!"
“…”
Excited voices were heard everywhere. Ye Miaomiao looked at the enthusiastic crowd with a smile: "Thank you all for your hard work. It's time for dinner. Those who are hungry can go eat first. Setting up traps is a simple matter and does not require so many people."
Someone in the crowd cheered to himself, and then everyone started laughing.
Ye Miaomiao rescued the twenty poor monsters from the hands of humans. She patted the little green head on the head and signaled it to leave on its own.
The little green head's eyes were filled with aggrieved shock. It looked at its brothers, lifted its feet and ran away.
The trap was quickly set.
Many people were leaning against the fence with their meals in hand, admiring their hard work. They chatted and laughed, and seemed to be full of confidence in tomorrow's blood moon.
Xiaobai was still standing there blankly thinking about his life, until he suddenly caught a glimpse of two familiar figures appearing on the distant grassland.
Xiaobai: “?” That’s not...
"Brother Bai, how come you disappeared while you were having a meal?" At this time, Lu Zhiwu found Xiaobai and stood in front of him.
Lu Zhiwu disapproved and patted his good brother's shoulder fiercely.
"The volunteer activity is over! I won't push you to volunteer anymore, so why are you still avoiding me? Eating together is more delicious! You...come with me next time!"
Xiaobai looked behind him again, but the two figures had disappeared. Indeed, how could they appear here? He turned his gaze back.
"Is it settled?" Lu Zhiwu asked.
Xiaobai gave Lu Zhiwu a complicated look. Lu Zhiwu was a very warm-hearted person, and Xiaobai almost felt like a close friend. Unexpectedly... he had just discovered the truth about the evil territory.
Was Noh Ji-woo deceived...or is he an evil person himself?
Xiaobai didn't dare to think too deeply about it. He couldn't believe that Lu Zhiwu was a bad person. In fact, he always had an inexplicable intuition in his mind that the Hungry Hungry Territory didn't seem to be an evil territory.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xiaobai didn't answer for a long time, Lu Zhiwu frowned and looked at Xiaobai's face left and right: "You..."
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a scream from behind him, which made his scalp numb in the relaxed atmosphere.
"ah!"
what happens!
Lu Zhiwu turned his head abruptly, his eyes passing over the panicked crowd, his pupils shrinking sharply in an instant.
Under a dim, leaden sky, three terrifying figures appeared on the low grassland, slowly approaching the territory. Their backlight made their appearance unclear, yet they could still inspire an incomparable fear within.
The one on the left had a strange appearance, with a huge body and a crown of sharp steel spikes; the one on the right had human hands and a human head, but the lower body had four legs! The most terrifying one was the one at the back -
I saw its two-meter-long body winding and twisting, following the two of them straightly, as if it were a strange and evil insect born from their bodies!
Regardless of its size or the degree of weirdness and terror, this is definitely not an ordinary level 2 monster!
"People of the third-level gods!"
At dinner time, Fang Yan, who had just finished training, came back and saw this scene. He shouted, "Everyone! Return to the territory immediately!"
The moment the word "Level Three" came out, the tranquility that had been intimidated by the monster was instantly shattered. Screams continued, as if the world had ended and the sky was about to collapse!
"Ah! Quick! Run!"
"The monster is coming! The monster is coming! The people in front, quickly enter the territory!"
"Trap! Don't touch the trap!"
Noisy cries of fear were heard, and Lu Zhiwu instinctively turned around and ran. At that moment, his head was almost completely filled with fear. What does level three mean?
Level 3! The territory has never faced a level 3 monster!
When Lu Zhiwu was about to run to the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned around abruptly.
noob!
His dumbfounded white brother was still staring at the monster. Amidst the desperate crowd fleeing for their lives, he stood still, standing out from the crowd.
Doesn't he know the monster is coming?!
What a...big injustice!
Lu Zhiwu: “…” Don’t be angry, you are my brother!
He thought about Xiaobai, the innocent and silly boy, and hoped he wouldn't die here. He estimated his speed and thought he could probably save him.
He kicked his feet and quickly stopped running forward, then turned and ran towards Xiaobai.
"Brother Bai! Brother Bai!" Lu Zhiwu shouted.
Seeing that the people around him were getting fewer and fewer and he was getting closer and closer to the monster, Lu Zhiwu was really in tears. Brother Bai, please react!
Finally he grabbed Xiaobai's arm.
Lu Zhiwu turned and ran, dragging Xiaobai unprepared and causing him to stumble. "You're frightened! You want to die! That's a level three monster! If you see a monster, run away!"
Xiaobai: "..." The person in front of you is also a third-level citizen.
His eyes were not blurry, those were all familiar people in Storm Territory.
The arrival of Huaji and Uncle Rong indicated they had finally decided to attack Hunger Hunger's territory. Although Xiaobai didn't understand why the arrivals weren't led by powerful figures like Uncle Eagle and the Wolf King, he...
This shows that his intuition and imagination are wrong. The Storm Territory has already made a judgment that the Hungry Hungry Territory is indeed an evil territory.
Xiaobai sighed. He didn't want to stay in the Hungry Hungry territory any longer, but he didn't want to attack it either. He had originally stood there, intending to wait and slip away quietly.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiwu turned around and saved him——
Xiaobai was a little moved: If Heng Eeng was really destroyed, he would protect Lu Zhiwu and his brothers, as they were all good people.
As I thought about it, my body was dragged involuntarily to run.
At this moment, Ye Miaomiao stood on a tall watchtower, with two rows of guards standing on both sides of the watchtower. After the crowd quickly poured into the territory, only the last person was left, dragging the stupid young man.
"Hurry! It's closing time!" someone shouted.
Lu Zhiwu pulled Xiaobai and rushed towards the door, entering at the moment the gate closed.
"Why did you come early?"
"Isn't the blood moon tomorrow? It's only six o'clock now?"
"Is there another special mission?"
The crowd was restless and anxious, staring at the figure outside the wall. The figure that looked neither human nor object was extremely frightening.
Ye Miaomiao stared at the three figures cautiously——
The level 3 monsters moved very quickly, and within moments they were already approaching the territory. The moment the gate closed, they were already in front of the territory.
Only then did people see their appearance clearly.
A chicken, a centaur, and a snake.
The air was slightly stagnant, and Ye Miaomiao was waiting for them to speak - level three monsters can speak.
It was not a guarding mission now, and she had not invaded their territory...Ye Miaomiao planned to observe the situation first and then make plans.
However...the three monsters looked at each other but did not reveal their purpose.
Moreover, the chicken crowed sharply, and the sudden piercing sound was like an alarm that hurt people's ears -
This deterrent display seems to be a signal for an attack.
"Get ready!" Ye Miaomiao didn't cover her ears like the others. She looked calmly at the three ferocious monsters and finally said coldly: "Shoot!"
With a few "whoosh" sounds, a row of iron arrows broke through the air, the sharp light bringing a chilling chill, flying towards the three monsters -
"No, no, no!" The chicken suddenly spoke in human language and retreated in panic, looking for a place to put its feet. It tried hard to avoid the sharp arrows, but its huge body was still hit by several arrows.
"Giggle, giggle!" It screamed in pain, flapping its wings.
The sound was like a popped balloon, painful and piercing. But it didn't stop shouting: "Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka!"
The arrows caused extremely high damage, which obviously intimidated this group of level 3 monsters.
The snake hesitated and retreated, hissing twice in a very low voice: "Senior Huaji, I say...is this really okay?"
It's not that Xiao Hei despises his seniors, but...
Visiting solemnly in your original form, and expressing friendship with a chuckle before speaking... is it really... very, very, very reliable?
Besides, Senior Flower Chicken, you're speaking chicken language now! How can humans understand it?
