Built with loess and overgrown with weeds, the seemingly fragile Dongfang Fort showed extraordinary tenacity in the face of this beast tide that had a somewhat world-destroying momentum! Despite the roar of the beast tide, we
Stand firm!
At this moment, looking in the direction of Yan Qing's finger, I saw those crazy ferocious beasts exploding to death after hitting the earthen wall of Dongfang Fort. Then their whole body of flesh and blood was absorbed by the earthen wall in an instant, as if they were
It's like it never existed before.
It's just that the speed of this beast wave is really fast. Often the first vicious beast just explodes, and the one behind it has already taken its previous position, and then explodes and dies again.
At the same time, the ferocious beast that exploded first in front had just been devoured and absorbed, and new ferocious beasts were added from behind.
Even if at a certain moment, the number of ferocious beasts faced by a certain section of the earth wall suddenly increases, these loess-rammed fortress walls can instantly increase the mysterious power that causes the ferocious beasts to disintegrate and devour them to the same level.
Dongfang Fort is like a millstone of life and death. The speed at which it devours the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts and the speed at which the ferocious beasts outside die are always maintained in a delicate dynamic balance. No matter how large the scale of the beast tide is and how ferocious its momentum is, this is where they live.
end!
Faced with this strange situation, I stared at the places where the ferocious beasts died for a long time, and finally found some clues.
It turned out that there was clearly a layer of fine inscriptions flashing on the surface of the rough earth wall. They were hidden under the nooks and crannies of the earth, emitting an elusive mysterious force that distorted the air close to the earth wall.
It is their existence that allows Dongfang Fort to be preserved under such a large-scale beast tide.
However, this is not the most terrifying thing. What really scares me are the ferocious birds and insects flying in the sky.
They are obviously so far away from the ground, so they should be able to break into Dongfang Fort very smoothly and cause unimaginable harm. After all, in the face of such a large-scale beast tide, the effects of the villagers' bows and arrows and other weapons are really limited.
However, just when they were about to fly over Dongfang Fort, a strange scene appeared...
I saw these ferocious birds and insects, as if they had received some kind of order, suddenly changed their flight direction, and one by one they swooped down collectively as if they were desperate, and crashed straight into the earthen wall of Dongfang Fort!
There is no need to think too much about their final outcome, it is no different from the ferocious beasts in the terrestrial beast tide.
This scene left me stunned!
It seems that there is another mysterious force around Dongfang Fort that I have not noticed. It is the existence of this force that affects the minds and judgments of the ferocious birds and insects, which makes them commit such crazy suicide actions.
"So, where did these devoured flesh and blood go in the end? What was the purpose of doing this? Who carved these inscriptions, was it the castle owner?" Looking at the scenes that were happening in front of me, I couldn't help but think about it.
You must know that these flesh and blood are not only those of ordinary ferocious beasts, but also mixed with many demonic beasts. As the incoming tide of beasts continues to be devoured, the demonic aura accumulated outside Dongfang Fort is now so strong that it is almost visible to the naked eye.
.
But I don’t have the slightest clue, and there is no description of this matter in my memory. Probably only the owner of the entire Dongfang Fort knows this secret.
At this time, when I took a closer look at the rushing beasts, I found that under the loss of reason covered by their red eyes, there was also a deep fear hidden!
It seemed that something terrible was happening behind them, driving them forward.
Only then did the beast tide appear in front of us!
"This..." I was shocked by what I discovered. I was speechless for a moment and blurted out, "Does Yan Qing know why this beast tide happened?"
"I don't know...does Brother Xiaotian know? Oh, look, that butterfly is so beautiful!" She blinked her big and lively eyes, still looking outside excitedly, and from time to time she pointed at a beautiful beast with her finger.
The yelling kept going on and on.
"I don't know either." I shook my head, trying to open my eyes wide and look in the direction of the beast tide, trying to discover the secret hidden behind it.
"The origin of this beast tide is mysterious. It existed long before my grandfather's grandfather's generation." At this time, an old man passing by happened to hear our conversation and said casually, "Don't say it's me, it must be him."
Today’s castle owners may not know the cause of their formation.”
The person who came was none other than the old master who taught literacy to the villagers in the fort. He could be said to be the most knowledgeable person in the village besides the fort owner.
The old master was not only knowledgeable, but also highly respected. Many major events in the village required his supervision, and it was in their home that Yan Qing was fostered and grew up.
"Grandpa Master!" Yan Qing greeted the old master happily when he saw him passing by, while struggling to pull his beard, which frightened the old master and quickly backed away.
There was nothing he could do about this little girl who had both pistachio attributes and devilish temperament.
Of course, Yan Qing was just trying to scare him. After all, his other hand was hugging my neck hard and he had no idea at all.
Even so, the old master still carefully retreated to a position out of Yan Qing's reach. Then he stopped with a smile on his face, stroked the beard on his chin lovingly, and continued: "The tide of beasts comes every month.
The day will definitely appear on a full moon night, and today is the full moon!"
"Master, do you understand these inscriptions on the earthen wall?" I was somewhat impressed by what he said, and at that moment I threw away all my previous doubts.
"Does Master Tian not know?" The old master looked at me with burning eyes, shook his head with a half-smile, and said slowly, "Only the lineage of castle masters passed down from generation to generation can understand these secret things! I really don't know.
.”
After saying this, he did not continue walking, but slowly stood at the edge with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtfully at the surging tide of beasts below with us.
Although I didn't get the answer I expected, I felt a little enlightened. After all, the key to too many problems was concentrated on the castle master, which was a deadlock. Now I thought that I must ask the castle master for advice next time I see him.
Ichiban.
Because I was attacked as soon as I fell into the dream, I still don't know the specific time in the dream world at this moment. I just feel that not long after, the sky turned dark.
Looking from a distance, there seems to be a shadow of a full moon on the horizon, looming in the sky above the beast tide, gradually rising.
At this time, the outbreak of the beast tide seemed to have reached a certain critical point. Not only did the density of ferocious beasts begin to become sparse, but even their running speed slowed down. If you look carefully, you can find many ferocious beasts.
The red light in his eyes actually began to dissipate.
Just when I looked up inadvertently, I found that the rising full moon was a little red... (To be continued)
