Nelas City organized several more attacks, but they were all repelled by Rennes.
And more and more people discovered that as long as they didn't stop this big-mouthed monster, he would not actively attack people, so more and more people followed him.
At this moment, the monster's direction suddenly changed and headed towards the center of the city. It didn't take long for the people of Nelas to realize that if they continued walking like this, the monster would reach the wishing platform.
The panicked people began to look for the city defense army and asked them to stop the big-mouthed monster as soon as possible. However, the city defense army was also in trouble. If they could defeat this monster, they would have done so long ago.
After bracing themselves for another charge, and being ruthlessly defeated again, the commander only dared to lead his men to be on guard at a distance - of course, it was the "guard" they claimed.
Not long after, under the horrified eyes of everyone, the big-mouthed monster jumped over the wall of the wishing platform, shattering everyone's luck.
The Big Mouth Monster's goal is the light of hope.
The Nelas people, who usually regard the sacred tree as an object of worship, screamed and wailed:
"The sacred tree is in danger!"
"Stop him quickly!!!"
"Where are the city defense troops? Open the door of the wishing platform quickly."
"Why are you stopping us? Let us in, we have to protect the sacred tree!"
Hearing that the sacred tree was in trouble, countless Nelas people ran out of their homes and began to attack the wishing platform. Under the attack of some extraordinary people, it didn't take long for the city defense army to be dispersed. People broke the door and broke into the wishing platform.
.
"Look! It's there!" Someone quickly discovered where the big-mouthed monster was: "It's on the sacred tree!"
People looked in the direction he pointed and saw a scene that made them angry and frightened. The monster had taken advantage of the time they were blocked outside to climb onto the light of hope. It opened and closed its big mouth and was eating the tree.
The "heart" above is the desire of the Nelas people.
…
Ren yawned. Hiding under the shell of the monster, he squatted on a branch, pushed the monster's big mouth away, took a few hearts from the tree, and stuffed them into the bag he found randomly.
Then continue to repeat this process.
The big-mouthed monster that people outside see eating the light of hope is actually such a process.
"stop!"
Some powerful people rushed towards him with red eyes, and were knocked down by him. The "corpse" scraped against the branches and fell down from the tree, taking with them a piece of "wishes" and even some small branches were broken.
.
It didn't take long for no one to come up anymore. They only dared to cry from a distance. As the number of people increased, it felt like the end of the world.
Seeing this, Ren felt that the time was almost up. He pretended to control the monster shell to "swallow" a mouthful of "wishes", and then muttered to himself in a low voice:
"Gray heart..."
"Countless money, countless women..."
"Greedy, delicious..."
As if a gourmet making a comment after enjoying the food, Renn also began to comment on his "desire" to eat, but these wishes made the people who heard it a little embarrassed:
"Black heart..."
"Killing parents, killing siblings..."
“Evil, delicious…”
“Don’t want to work, delicious!”
“Breaking up the family, delicious!”
"Curse your friend, delicious!"
"...."
As Ren read out his "wishes" to eat one by one, the cries around him gradually disappeared, many people lowered their heads, and some quietly left.
"Burn lovers, delicious!"
Ren, who was hiding in the monster shell, swallowed the last "wish", shook the bag in his hand, and found that it was almost full, so he stopped his "big mouth".
Most of the wishes he just made up casually, but there are many people who want to be tricked. Who has not had evil thoughts in his heart?
Especially the Neras.
Just like a couple quarreling, maybe two people will have the idea that the other person should die. If they are in other places, such thoughts may pass through their minds in a flash, but here is Nelas, the people of this city
Trusting the light of hope so much, maybe they will confide their wishes to the sacred tree, and then they will be "recorded" by the light of hope.
...
The commander gathered his scattered subordinates, then found the advisor with half of his face swollen, and finally gave the advisor an order to lead the city defense troops in and blast everyone out.
"As for the monster with a big mouth..." The commander patted the advisor, turned around and said, "Anyway, it doesn't kill people, so just pretend you didn't see it!"
After saying that, he twisted away the consultant's hand and left quickly.
After scolding a few times, the consultant stamped his feet, and with a few unlucky guys, he forced his way through the crowd surrounding the wishing stand and got in.
"Everyone, please go home quickly. Our city defense army is responsible for the monster. We will definitely repel it. For your sake, please go home quickly. Once again, please go home quickly!"
The advisor squeezed inside while commanding his subordinates to shout, but as soon as he entered, he discovered that something was not right about the atmosphere.
There were so many people, but there was no commotion at all. The only voices in the entire wishing platform were the voices of his subordinates, and soon several of his subordinates also noticed the strange atmosphere, and their voices gradually became quieter.
"what happened......."
The consultant struggled to squeeze his way to the front of the crowd. First he saw the monster on the tree, and then the person lying down under the tree, both motionless.
Shivering, the consultant wanted to squeeze back...
This was when the monster jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the crowd. People were so frightened that they backed away. The consultant's feet fell to the ground, and he watched in horror as the monster approached.
I saw the monster coming to him, but it didn't seem to see him, but said in words that were not very procedural:
"So many delicious hearts have allowed me to evolve. When I finish digesting these things, I will come again. The next time this tree is full of delicious hearts."
As he spoke, the monster acted as if he was leaving, completely ignoring the consultant who was nearby.
The consultant took a deep breath, and his shoulders suddenly slumped.
"Fortunately, fortunately..."
However, as if hearing his voice, the big-mouthed monster suddenly turned around again, frightening his nerves.
"Maybe I don't have to be in such a hurry to come back..."
"Yes, yes!" The consultant nodded quickly. The monster looked at him, and he quickly shook his head in fear: "No, no, no, I mean, you can come whenever you want, ha, ha...
....”
"I will come." Fortunately, the monster still had no interest in him and just glanced at him. "The hearts I ate gave me a deeper understanding of you humans. If all of your wishes come true, by then
The whole world will be dyed black, and everything will become my delicious food, including your not-so-palatable food."
