Tom is an ordinary trader in Dunker Street, St. Grant.
He learned the craft from his father. As a cheese seller, Tom was accustomed to the life of a street vendor starting at sunrise and returning at sunset every day.
This human-powered four-wheeler loaded with cheese is his tool of livelihood.
As the sun gradually sets.
After checking the time, Tom smiled and said hello to the vendor friend next to him, then pulled the four-wheeler and walked towards his home in the suburbs.
While on the road, he did not forget to buy a small jar of honey as a birthday gift for his little daughter.
Although he is only twenty-seven years old this year, he is already the father of four children. The youngest daughter happens to be three years old today, and the oldest child is already eleven years old and can milk cows skillfully. There is still milk in his wife's belly.
There is a fifth unborn child.
Keep moving forward steadily.
unconsciously.
By the time Tom returned home, only the last rays of the setting sun remained in the sky.
Today's Huoshaoyun seems to be particularly beautiful, revealing a coquettish scarlet color, just like the moment before a rose withers at midnight.
"dad!"
"dad……"
The children gathered around him happily and acted coquettishly around him.
Tom showed a happy smile.
While taking care of the children, he handed the money he earned today to his wife. In ordinary life, the two only made eye contact, but they were also full of love.
"How's business today?"
"There is about one-tenth left. Today is Hua'er's birthday, so I came back early."
soon.
Everyone entered the house. My wife had prepared meals in advance. The family gathered around a table for a not-so-luxurious dinner and prayed devoutly.
"Thank you Lord..."
After the children opened their eyes, Tom showed a mysterious smile.
He took out a small jar of honey from his clothes and placed it gently on the table.
"Wow!"
The children screamed in surprise, and the cheerful laughter spread throughout the room. Looking at this scene, Tom felt that his heart was about to melt. He was so happy.
Amid the happy laughter of the children, the family enjoyed today's dinner happily.
"Tom, Tom?"
The voice of neighbor Bob outside the window made Tom frown slightly.
But the other party kept urging him, so he reluctantly got up and walked out of the house.
Only then did he realize that all the neighbors of the farm had walked out of the room and were standing together in twos and threes, pointing to the sky and discussing something.
Tom couldn't help but look at the blood-red moon that was gradually rising in the sky.
Some people seemed frightened and knelt on the ground to pray.
Bob said in a low voice: "Tom, this is not a good sign. I feel very frightened. The day of extinction described in "The Festival of Light" is a bloody moon. Should we do something?"
"I have no idea."
Tom also disliked this feeling, he felt a little creepy.
Bathed in the blood-colored moonlight, he felt that goosebumps were about to appear in the atmosphere of panic.
Moo!
The cows in the cowshed in the distance also began to make uneasy noises.
"dad?"
The children ran out of the room and saw the bloody moon in the sky, showing confusion and confusion.
"Bring them back quickly!"
Tom, who was upset, quickly motioned to his wife to take the children back to the room.
The wife nodded and was about to take the four children back to the room when the eldest son, who was usually the most lively and active, suddenly pointed into the distance and made a frightened sound.
"Look, what is that!"
When Tom heard this, he looked in the direction pointed by his eldest son.
The pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead, and his face instantly turned pale.
On the earth shrouded in blood-colored moonlight, some strange shadows gradually appeared in mid-air. Their shapes were extremely hideous and ugly, as if a demon that had been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years was slowly waking up and slowly opening its bloody eyes.
They look very huge.
But the amazing thing is that only the part of them that is in the air can be vaguely seen, and the part that is close to the ground is nothing.
Immediately afterwards.
Some of the monsters with their bloody eyes slowly raised their heads and looked at the bloody moon in the sky.
They looked up to the sky and roared, but no sound was heard.
"ah……"
The farmers screamed in terror one after another, which seemed to attract the attention of some monsters.
Some of the monsters stretched out their big hands with sharp nails and grabbed at the restless cows. However, when their ferocious giant claws fell on the ground, they were affected by unknown influences and transformed from corpses into
nothingness.
A strange scene appeared.
The cows were not affected at all.
Seeing this, the monster seemed to be angry. He opened his bloody mouth, and a dark red demonic light poured out, covering most of the farm.
The frightened women all reacted and planned to return to the room.
However, as the monster's mouth sucked hard, the bodies of these women suddenly froze in place, and then fell straight down. After their souls were forcibly taken away, they floated into the bloody mouth of the sky.
"Enter the room quickly and don't stand under the light of the blood moon."
Tom, who looked dull, was awakened by an elf that looked like a dragonfly. Fear made him breathe heavily and his body was covered in cold sweat.
The elf looked into the distance with an anxious look on his face.
"These blood moon creatures have just woken up. They are very hungry. Entering the room and avoiding the light of the blood moon will effectively avoid being discovered by the blood moon creatures."
After Tom reacted, he hurried back to the room.
…
The other side.
Chen Mo from St. Grand City was like a tourist at this moment, sitting by the window in the house and looking at the bloody full moon in the sky.
The streets that used to be bustling and lively have become completely chaotic.
There were sounds of panic, wails, and screams everywhere.
Some blood moon monsters similar to gnomes, mud monsters, rotten toads, and big-eyed bugs are wreaking havoc on the streets.
However, their strength is generally not very strong, and they are only rated as ordinary creatures.
Further away.
In the direction of the tall tower of the Grant Academy of Natural Sciences, bursts of thunderous explosions and concussions were heard.
Two huge half-length creatures faintly appeared in mid-air.
One of them was like a unicorn, with a huge sharp horn on his head and his body covered with ferocious spikes. He tried to get close to the tower, but was forced back time and time again by the defense facilities on the tower.
The other one seemed to be a three-headed snake. The three heads sometimes appeared and sometimes were hidden in nothingness. They were in a state of appearing and disappearing. They launched long-range attacks in the direction of the tower, but were blocked by the energy shield of the tower.
These two huge creatures seemed to have their upper bodies appearing high in the sky.
The lower body is in a completely void state, which looks very strange.
Chen Mo took a deep breath and looked at Xia Ying.
"These two blood moon creatures should already have the strength level of a natural disaster lord."
"Um."
He sighed and said, "You will spend the next three years in this kind of world, so you must be careful."
Chen Mo smiled softly.
"Don't worry, if you want to go back, I can go back at any time, but I have already planned the mission goal for this time, and these two little guys are not independent yet, so I have to take care of them here."
On the bed.
Madi and Linda leaned together tremblingly, looking out the window in disbelief at the horrific scene.
This is simply a scene from a nightmare.
"Don't worry."
Chen Mo said to the two of them: "This is the normal natural law of this world. People will soon adapt to everything in the blood moon era. Although the process will be accompanied by some deaths, this is a necessary price. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has yin and yin."
You must also learn to adapt to the sunny days and the waxing and waning days."
After Xiying turned on the gramophone, he came to Linda and sat with her.
Nelina's singing voice came from the gramophone.
"As long as we don't go outside the house when the blood moon rises, those advanced blood moon creatures will not be able to detect us, just like we can't see the ants in the anthill, and as long as we enter the sleep state, even those
The low-level blood moon creatures that occasionally break into the room will also lose traces of us. You must learn to survive in the dark and turbulent era that follows and learn to defeat fear."
Say it.
Xiying took out a bottle of sleeping potion.
The smell of her mother made Linda relax a little.
"Aunt Xieying, do you really want to leave?"
He hugged Linda into his arms and kissed her forehead.
"Tomorrow night, we are one entity. When you miss me, you can ask Uncle Traveler, and then you can summon me over. Have you forgotten what I taught you?"
"No."
Time passes.
Unknowingly, it was already late at night, and the streets gradually became quiet after experiencing the initial chaos.
Chen Mo could occasionally see some figures running past quickly.
A baby's cry was heard from a neighbor's house, but it quickly became quiet again. Apparently the bewildered adults were afraid of being exposed, so they covered the baby's mouth or hid it.
But Chen Mo was not worried about this.
As long as you are not actively exposed to the light of the blood moon, it is only a small probability event for those low-level blood moon monsters to break into the room.
And even if there are monsters that break into the room, they are only the weakest monsters.
Only they can operate on the edge of the apparent world and the blood moon world, and the probability is very low, almost equivalent to weeds on the grassland, and they worry about being trampled by wild horses.
The connection between the world of representation and the world of blood moon is not the integration that ordinary people understand.
Although the high-altitude areas of both sides have been basically connected together and become one entity, on the ground, they are just entangled. Only the area shrouded by the light of the blood moon can form the "you are in me" and "I am in you" state.
In your marginal area, only blood moon monsters below level 2 can move.
But unless they are really hungry, they will not come to such a dirty and crowded area.
As for the shadow areas that are not enveloped by the light of the blood moon, only the weakest blood moon monsters can barely reach them.
And the amazing thing is.
As long as humans living in the apparent world hide and sleep in a place not illuminated by the light of the blood moon, they will be in an absolutely safe state. They will not be able to be spied on by blood moon creatures, which is somewhat similar to humans without magical talents.
