The roars and screams in the gusty wasteland gradually became distant and lonely.
The ghost moon, almost touching the ground, was like a giant eye, silently gazing and surveying the wasteland. Under its gaze, nothing seemed to escape its sight.
Suddenly, the 'Giant Eye' twisted its body, revealing a huge black hole behind it.
The black hole seemed like the entrance to another world. As soon as it appeared, the black fog that was as arrogant as a villain in the wasteland just a moment ago was absorbed by the black hole.
For a moment, the wasteland, which was already pitch black due to the loss of the "bright moon", became even darker.
The black mist was forcibly sucked into the black hole. They struggled desperately like conscious creatures, but like puppets, they were unable to escape the black hole's swallowing.
After an unknown amount of time, the last trace of black fog in the wasteland was swept away.
The black hole slowly rotated, as if scanning for any missing objects, or perhaps waiting for something. Suddenly, a bright, clear moon appeared, right next to the black hole. Two stars, one black and one white, coexisted strangely, slowly rotating in the sky, gradually overlapping, until a single, strangely black and white moon appeared.
A rustling white mist, sprayed by the black and white moon stars, fell on vegetation, rocks, the ground, and the water, quickly transforming into hoarfrost. This hoarfrost was so cold that even fallen leaves that touched it would instantly freeze into icicles, which would then shatter in the wind.

“Quack—”
"Ga—"
"Awoo--" Dozens of giant beasts suddenly flew over from all directions, and when they were a thousand meters away from the black and white moon star that was spraying white mist, they launched an attack together tacitly.
Lightning, fire, wind, ice...
Following the darkness caused by the Ghost Moon, the entire wasteland was transformed into lightning, fire, strong wind, ice... hell under the attack of the giant beast.
The sudden attack caused Yuexing to pause in spraying the white mist, and then the slow spraying turned into shooting in a sudden rapid rotation.
Even if a giant beast reacts quickly, it cannot avoid being hit by the white fog.
The bird wings and animal feet that were hit quickly froze and soon turned into brittle ice that shattered at the slightest movement.
A giant beast that was hit in the thigh looked at its body that was rapidly melting, its eyes suddenly turned red, and then it roared and charged towards the black and white moon star.
It was as if a switch was turned on. On the other side, a bird with half of its wing missing also rushed over with a hissing sound.
Then came the third, the fourth...
"Boom--" Yuexing rolled heavily to the wasteland under the impact of more than a dozen giant beasts.
Like a comet striking a planet, the entire wasteland shook, mountains and rivers shattered, and lakes flowed backwards. The Dragon Slaying Town's defensive formation flickered open.
In the center of the wasteland, the earth cracked due to the vibration, and a huge ball of light buried underground seemed to break free from its confinement and burst out of the ground.
☆
The sun rose again, its bright rays shone across the earth for a long time, yet not a trace of purple air descended upon the human world. Meanwhile, the white frost covering the vegetation, soil, rocks, and water in the sunlit land began to rustle and emit black smoke.
The black smoke was like the final roar of something, and eventually turned into nothingness in the sunlight.
In previous years, as the last trace of white frost turned into nothingness, it also signaled the end of the annual Ghost Month carnival in the Gust of Winds Wasteland.
This year, both the wild beasts in the wasteland and the monks in Dragon Slaying Town chose to remain silent.
That day, until evening, the gate of Tulong Town was not opened.

When Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi were released from the 'cage', they were in the water. Without stopping, they used water escape to leave the Wind Lake.
I first went to the east coast to check on the peanuts and grapes I planted yesterday.
It was found that for some unknown reason, the seeds had lost their activity.
Not only that, the land here is not only cracked, but also seems to have become barren, and the water in the lake next to it has sunk more than ten meters.
"Let's go to the west bank." Zhou Yanzhi suggested. Of the east, south, west and north of Zhenfeng Lake, only the west bank has not been visited.
The west bank was in a similar state, looking ravaged by the earthquake. The tea trees, which had once grown well, seemed to have suffered a harsh winter, their color extinguished by the cold.
Xiao Yu watched Zhou Yanzhi pinch a piece of tea leaves, which crumbled into dust like a dead leaf. He couldn't help but whisper, "Brother, according to the setting of our novel, it's obvious that something has been taken away from the Gust of Wind Wasteland."
Zhou Yanzhi nodded in agreement.
"Could it be that some old monster is using the Windy Wasteland to cultivate?"
"Let's go back to Dragon Slaying Town and take a look."
"Well, how are we going to explain how we survived these seven days?"
"...Don't show up yet, let's see what's going on."
☆
"Damn it, it's the third day already. Is this Dragon Slaying Town planning to remain closed forever?" Xiao Yu, who had been staying in the Desolate Slave Cave for three days, couldn't help but complain after waiting anxiously for a while.
Since the end of Ghost Month, almost all the vegetation in this wasteland has withered. Even rhizomes like konjac and underground fruits are not as spiritual as before. When they are dug out, they look as if they are frozen and rotten, making people lose the desire to collect them.
The wild beasts were in an even worse condition, as if their vital energy had been sucked away.
This situation made Xiao Yu, who had always been playing the "collecting" game, completely lose the motivation to stay outside.
But Tulong Town has been closed for three days?
"I think something must have happened." Zhou Yanzhi guessed, "It's not that the people inside didn't come out."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu's eyes widened as he asked. "No, is it that some kind of rare treasure has appeared? And then the people in charge of Tulong Town have locked everyone in the town, leaving them to act on their own?"
