Chapter 268 Disaster
This is
Chen Xing looked at the moon above his head.
The mist in the distance floated in like light smoke, slowly and gently covering the moon.
The hazy moonlight penetrated the clouds, and mottledly reflected the bright moon behind the sky that was slowly being eaten away.
The cover seemed like an invisible giant mouth, and like a huge palm, slowly covering the originally shining moon.
A trace of confusion flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. He vaguely felt that what covered the moon was not pure darkness, but a deep black and red, as if it was coagulated blood from a long time ago, dark and heavy, revealing a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
"The total lunar eclipse... is it ahead of schedule?" Chen Xing muttered to himself, full of doubts.
He thought that perhaps because of the difference in regions, the total lunar eclipse observed in this area came earlier than expected.
He stared at the moon above his head that was gradually swallowed by darkness. Since he stepped into this foreign land, he has been accompanied by this bright moon every night.
The moon here is not much different from the one he had seen in Daxia, but in this world full of extraordinary power, the sun and the moon are given a more mysterious and noble status.
In the past, when looking up at the starry sky from the land of foreign lands, Chen Xing found that the moon here was always shrouded in a hazy halo, as if it was added with a mysterious filter, making it impossible to glimpse the scenery in its depths.
Even the extraordinary beastman with far superior vision could not see through the hazy halo.
On the other hand, the moon on the blue planet has been set foot on by people in recent years, but there is only endless desolation except for the barren land, as if it has already died.
"This lunar eclipse seems to be different from the previous small lunar eclipses. The last time I saw this kind of red lunar eclipse in a foreign land was fifty years ago." Qiu Shangqing looked at the moon above his head, indicating something.
Chen Xing asked, "Mr. Qiu, is there any difference between this lunar eclipse and an ordinary lunar eclipse?"
"Of course it's different. An ordinary lunar eclipse usually only covers an area of at most a few territories. This kind of lunar eclipse is common and only helps some special races. For example, some wolf monsters that use the moon as a totem and believe in the moon need to complete their evolution on the day of the lunar eclipse, or use it to hold some special ceremonies."
"But this red lunar eclipse covers not only a few territories, but the entire foreign land can see it, just like the moonlight a few days ago."
"This kind of phenomenon was almost invisible before, but it has become more and more frequent recently." Qiu Shangqing sighed, "Every time there is a strange phenomenon in the foreign land, there should be a deeper meaning behind it. Unfortunately, for the entire foreign land, my vision is just a drop in the ocean.
But what I know is that after the red lunar eclipse that covered the entire foreign land fifty years ago, the overall magic tide level of the foreign land rose by a certain degree, and this time may be the same." Qiu Shangqing said.
It is precisely because of the higher magic tides than before that Daxia can catch up with the old forces in the foreign land as a latecomer.
After listening to what Mr. Qiu said, Chen Xing's heart sank. Is the red lunar eclipse different from the ordinary lunar eclipse? If it evolves, will it affect Taotie?
Chen Xing quickly recalled the knowledge related to evolution and quickly found relevant precautions.
The ceremony can be held regardless of any lunar eclipse, and it will not affect the final result of the evolution ceremony.
But if the evolution ceremony changes due to external reasons, it has nothing to do with the ceremony.
"What's wrong? You seem to be worried." Qiu Shangqing noticed the strange expression on Chen Xing's face.
Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Qiu, I accidentally got an evolutionary route for Taotie. The evolutionary ceremony needs to be held on the day of the lunar eclipse. If you miss this lunar eclipse, you may have to wait for another half a year until the next lunar eclipse."
"Taotie's new evolutionary route. That little crocodile?" Qiu Shangqing murmured.
He looked at Chen Xing thoughtfully. He remembered that Taotie took his Canghai Emperor Crocodile route, and now he is preparing to change the evolutionary route?
But what made him curious was what evolutionary route could make Chen Xing give up Canghai Emperor Crocodile.
After all, he knew the strength of the Canghai Emperor Crocodile very well. This was a potential of the Overlord level.
And there was a higher level route above it. According to the foreign land, it was the Totem level.
Although it was incomplete, it was still a grand road with traces to follow.
What made him curious was whether he could change to other evolution routes after evolving into the Water-Tan King Crocodile.
Qiu Shangqing pondered, "It's a bit long to wait for another half a year. We can find a remote place to evolve after crossing the border."
Qiu Shangqing looked at the Giant Heart dragged under the four phases, "This is the item you need for evolution. It's really inconvenient to carry it with you. It's good to use it for evolution."
Generally speaking, the time required for evolution is between 15 and 60 minutes.
As long as you find a suitable place in the wild and complete the evolution, if the speed is fast enough, it won't cause too much noise.
Chen Xing also had this consideration. If you carry the Giant Heart around, it's easy to have an accident. This thing is too big and too conspicuous. It's better to convert it directly into the power of taming beasts.
After crossing the Yanjiang River, the group flew for half an hour and found a hidden valley to land.
Qin Xuan said, "I looked at the map. The nearest city is an hour and a half away from us."
Qiu Shangqing nodded, "I will help you protect the law, you can evolve."
Chen Xing felt warm in his heart and didn't waste words.
Now half an hour has passed, and the moon in the sky above has become darker and darker, almost half of it has been eroded.
Chen Xing couldn't help but recall the steps of evolution.
On the day of the lunar eclipse, dig open the center of your eyebrows, plant the dark thunder god seed in the center of your eyebrows, swallow the heart of the giant spirit and blow the disaster conch, wear the world-suppressing monument, and withstand the baptism of disasters. If you survive the disaster and hang in the sky for nine days on the day of the lunar eclipse, you can transform into the eye of the giant beast.
The first step is to dig out the eyebrows.
Chen Xing took out the tools from the storage ring.
Summon Taotie.
The giant beast descended on the valley, and countless snakes, rats, insects and ants fled in all directions, and some scattered monsters also fled.
The valley was clear.
Then with the help of Sixiang, it landed on the center of Taotie's eyebrows, and Chen Xing used a chisel to start chiselling between its eyebrows.
Taotie's eyebrows began to be chiseled off bit by bit, but strangely no blood was left.
This is Chen Xing's pet posture correction ability, which can slightly change the shape of the pet's head to a certain extent without damaging the roots.
Soon, the forehead was cut open, leaving a hole the size of a bowl.
Then Chen Xing took out the Cang Tian Ming Thunder God Seed and placed it between Taotie's eyebrows.
Zizzi~
The thunder light beat violently, Taotie let out a muffled groan and closed his eyes at the same time.
It felt like its eyebrows were swollen, as if there was a landmine buried inside.
Then there's the swallowing of the Djinn's Heart.
Chen Xing looked at the giant spirit's heart next to him and said to Qiu Shangqing, "Mr. Qiu, please help me clean up the giant spirit's heart."
The Canghai Emperor Crocodile sitting at the mouth of the valley raised his eyes and waved his claws. Countless water columns surged in the void, cutting along the surface of the Giant Spirit's Heart, and a large amount of soil, sand and gravel attached to the surface were cut off.
The true body inside was finally exposed - a heart that was dark red in color and covered with black lines on its surface.
The heart was still beating, but the frequency was extremely slow. It only beat once every ten minutes, and the amplitude was extremely small. If Chen Xing hadn't enhanced his senses, he wouldn't have even noticed this small beat.
This giant heart is very big, nearly sixty meters high.
An ordinary beast wouldn't even be able to swallow it, and the giant spirit's heart is extremely hard and cannot be destroyed by ordinary means.
So this can be regarded as an invisible hard condition.
But fortunately, the Taotie was bigger and opened its abyss-like mouth to swallow the giant spirit's heart in one gulp.
Then slowly slide it into the stomach pouch.
Taotie felt like her belly was full, and something was beating inside, as if she was pregnant with a baby.
not good! I'm a male crocodile!
Taotie suddenly shuddered and his eyes widened.
Then he carries the world-suppressing monument and blows the conch of disaster.
You definitely can't blow this conch by yourself.
According to inherited knowledge, whoever blows will be baptized by disaster.
So I can only brag!
Chen Xing took out the World-Suppressing Monument and placed it on Taotie's back.
Compared to its current size, the World-Suppressing Monument is very small, but as long as everyone looks at it, all their attention will be attracted by the World-Suppressing Monument on its back.
Qiu Shangqing's mind was confused as to what that pale golden stone tablet was.
It doesn't look like an ordinary thing.
Chen Xing took out the disaster conch and handed it to Taotie's mouth.
He found a fixed position and then let Si Xiang pull him back.
"Wait until the moon is completely obscured by the lunar eclipse, then blow the conch of disaster in your mouth." Chen Xing said to Taotie.
"Dudu~"
Taotie wanted to open its mouth to respond, but the air flow surged out, and the disaster conch in its mouth was blown out with two low sounds.
Taotie was startled.
"It's useless to blow it now. Only blowing it after the lunar eclipse can activate its effect." Chen Xing shook his head. This is one of the reasons why many people are unable to study the special purpose of the disaster conch and can only treat it as an ordinary high-level secret treasure. one.
When paired with the Calamity Conch on the day of the lunar eclipse, more wonderful sparks will burst out.
Under the gazes of Qiu Shangqing and Chen Xing, darkness continued to swallow the moon until the last trace of moonlight disappeared, and the whole world seemed to fall into chaos.
The valley where they were located also became more blurry, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be swallowed up by darkness.
In this gloomy night, the World-Suppressing Monument on Taotie's back emitted a faint light. Although the light is weak, it is like a bright light in the dark night.
Even the mysterious runes carved on the sacred monument became more and more eye-catching.
Taotie blew the conch of disaster in his mouth.
The voice was deep and deep, completely different from the cheerful and bright beeping before.
The sound seemed to come from the abyss.
"Woo~"
The sound of the conch echoed in the valley, and gusts of wind blew in the valley.
At the same time, the moon, which was engulfed by the lunar eclipse, also experienced changes.
At the same time, outside the mysterious palace above the moon, at some point the entire moon was covered with bloody black mist, and a tall and vague figure loomed in the mist.
In the palace, the white giant beast looked at the figures outside with vigilance.
Although it knows that the other party cannot come in, it is still extremely vigilant.
Because the personality of the other person is not inferior to his master in any way. To be precise, he is one and the same twin. Where there is light, there is darkness. Where there is the sun, there is the moon.
But at this moment, a faint voice came from a distant place.
The tall figure in the mist suddenly trembled, as if it did not expect the sudden change.
"No!!! Who is plotting against me!"
The being in the mist let out an angry roar, like thunder.
But now it is not a complete body, let alone a prosperous state. How could it activate the calamity of disaster at this time? The bit of origin it finally condensed directly turned into the nutrients of this calamity.
This is not the main thing, what is more important is that the success or failure of the disaster affects the foundation of its authority.
Bang!
The existence in the mist exploded with a bang, and the red mist on the moon became more vivid.
"The eclipse has disappeared!?"
Qin Xuan suddenly found that the moon above his head had changed.
"It hasn't disappeared, it seems that something has changed." Qiu Shangqing said, while his eyes fell on Taotie.
To say that the changes had nothing to do with Taotie, he absolutely did not believe it.
Because the moon has started to change since the sound of the conch was heard. The timing is too coincidental.
The darkness that shrouded the moon's surface slowly receded. The moon showed its face again, but this time it was not a pure white moon, but a strange and extremely scarlet moon!
The scarlet moon illuminates the earth, and under the bloody color, the entire world is dyed red.
Chen Xing's face was solemn. He needed Taotie to survive the disaster, but he didn't know what it was.
"Coming." Chen Xing seemed to notice something. He raised his head and saw countless black shadows falling in the sky above his head.
These black images appear out of thin air. They look like some kind of birds and beasts from a distance, but these birds and beasts are all white and composed of white bones.
The only sound in the sky was the beating of their wings.
Densely packed white-bone birds and beasts fell from the sky, instantly covering Taotie. Looking from the outside, Taotie's figure was instantly covered.
Those white-bone birds and beasts flapped their wings one after another, landing on Taotie's body like messengers of darkness.
They pecked at the gluttonous flesh desperately, as if they wanted to peck through it alive.
Taotie's always tough and thick skin was as fragile as a piece of paper under the sharp beaks of these white-bone birds and beasts.
Each gentle peck can easily tear off a palm-sized piece of skin.
The severe pain caused Taotie's body to tremble involuntarily, and it let out a low roar.
"Maelstrom!"
With it as the center, a huge whirlpool shadow emerged in the surrounding void.
Even though this place is land, the water element in the air was instantly aroused, converging into a majestic giant wave shadow, sweeping violently in all directions.
However, these white-bone birds and beasts are like rocks standing on the shore. No matter how the huge waves roll, they remain motionless and unaffected at all.
"Do you need help?" Qiu Shangqing asked Chen Xing.
Chen Xing shook his head. According to the inherited knowledge of evolution, Taotie could only experience the disaster by himself.
The intervention of external forces will affect the success or failure of the disaster, and will also greatly affect the evolution of Taotie.
Three minutes later, all the white-bone birds and beasts dispersed, flapping their wings and disappearing into the night without a trace. It was unclear how they disappeared.
It's just that only the bloody body of Taotie is left in place, and all the skin has been peeled off.
The steaming flesh and blood emitted majestic heat waves, and the scarlet flesh was particularly dazzling under the blood moon.
Chen Xing frowned, feeling a little unbearable in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed his inner emotions so that he could not interfere, and the materials needed for Taotie's evolution were all ready.
If you intervene now, all your efforts will be in vain.
Another sound came from the void. This time, many green flies appeared. These green flies were weird. The tails on their lower bodies were extremely long, like snake tails. There were sharp barbs at the tips. Each green fly had a slap. size.
The strange thing is that these green flies, Chen Xing, can't even see their attribute panels, just like the previous white-bone birds and beasts.
Not being able to see the property panel can only explain two situations.
1. These are not entities, just phantoms, just like you can't see the attributes of the monsters in the photo through the photo.
2. What I saw was not their true form, they existed in another dimension.
These green flies are the same as the previous wave of bone birds and beasts, and Taotie's skills are still unable to cause damage to them.
They swarmed over and stuck their tails on Taotie.
Then the gluttonous flesh and blood continued to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rotten flesh and blood piled up like a hill and fell to the ground.
Chen Xing's heart trembled and he clenched his fists.
Three minutes later, there was only a white-bone giant beast covered with blood vessels in the valley, with mountains of rotten flesh around it.
The beast's stomach was bulging, and a huge heart was beating slowly inside.
After corroding all flesh and blood, the greenfly blended into the night and disappeared mysteriously.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xuan's eyelids jumped.
Is this evolution? It's a bit too scary.
"Are you okay with controlling the beast?" Qin Xuan asked Chen Xing.
Chen Xing shook his head slightly.
Through the contract, he could sense that Taotie's vitality was still strong.
There was no sound from the sky this time. At this time, there was movement from the ground beneath my feet.
Countless white maggots burst out of the ground, exploding from the earth like a waterfall, covering Taotie's body.
These maggots attach themselves to the white bones, and with a slight drill, the bones fall straight away like powder.
The giant temple of white bones standing in the valley was eaten bit by bit, and eventually turned into powder all over the ground, leaving only some internal organs.
After completing their mission, the maggots merged into the earth and disappeared.
As expected, the fourth wave hit.
Is it targeting the internal organs this time?
If all the internal organs are gone, what is left? soul?
But the magical thing is that the World Town Monument is still floating in the air, emitting a faint golden light.
There was another sound overhead, this time it was many black bats, flying around the internal organs.
After a moment, they stuck to the remaining internal organs.
The internal organs withered and turned into skin.
The giant heart that was swallowed by the Taotie before was also exposed to the air, but at this moment, the giant heart had undergone some subtle changes.
The black lines on the surface spread out at some point, and the heart beat more and more frequently.
Could it be that the flesh of the Taotie was to be hatched again from the giant heart?
Seeing this scene, Chen Xing guessed in his heart.
The fifth wave of attack arrived.
These were countless phantoms wearing tattered cloaks, and under the cloaks were transparent blue outlines.
Just as these phantoms were about to launch an attack, a deafening thunder suddenly came from the void.
This thunder resounded through the sky and spread over a thousand miles.
The blue clouds above were scared away, leaving a large hole.
Under the thunder, countless phantoms in the void trembled for a moment.
Suddenly, those dark blue bodies burst open one after another, like bursting balloons. The tattered cloaks fell in the valley like leaves falling in autumn, and disappeared after touching the ground.
About three minutes later, a clear bell sounded in the distance, breaking the silence. The melodious bell sound echoed on the empty plain, which seemed particularly abrupt.
Under the bloody moonlight, a strange figure appeared at the end of the plain.
It was a mole, but it stood upright like a human, carrying a package several times larger than itself behind it. The package made of red cloth seemed to contain living things, and the things inside were squirming.
As it squirmed, the outline of the red cloth appeared from time to time.
The movements of this mole seemed slow and clumsy, but its speed was amazing. Like a gust of wind, it approached everyone quickly and steadily.
"I seem to have heard of this thing." Qiu Shangqing narrowed his eyes after seeing this kind of mole.
"There is an ancient legend in a foreign land that when a person dies, he will see the Death Rat, which will take the dead away, put it in the package behind it, and then take it to the underworld."
Legend?
Chen Xing thought of the legend at the first time.
Could this mole be the Death Rat?
At this moment, the Land Guarding Monument shone brightly.
It burst into brilliant golden light, and infinite golden light shone on the surface of the mole's body.
Hole after hole appeared on its body surface, and green smoke came out.
Seeing this, it stopped, raised its head, and looked at the Land Guarding Monument in front of it with cloudy eyes.
It didn't make a sound, but it didn't continue to move.
Chen Xing noticed something strange. The monsters in this sixth wave of attacks were different from the previous five waves. It actually stopped.
Could it be intelligent?
The mole stood there for a moment, and then looked up at the red moon above his head.
After a moment of silence, he took off the red cloth package on his back.
Gently opening a corner, the things inside rushed out impatiently, and countless black shadows rushed towards the direction of Taotie. Looking carefully, these black shadows were clearly the souls of some monsters, but these souls had hideous faces and red eyes.
After releasing some dead souls, the mole tied the red cloth tightly again and then carried it on his back again.
Without even looking at the ending, he turned around and left in the direction he came from.
The intermittent ringing echoed on the plain, gradually fading away
"These are undead creatures." Qiu Shangqing said in a serious voice.
Undead creatures are quite rare in foreign lands, mainly because foreign lands generally do not have an environment to accommodate their survival. Without a living environment, it is difficult for them to grow and develop.
The Zhenjie Divine Monument shone brightly again, and the undead creatures entered the range covered by the light, turning into gray smoke and disappearing, leaving only some transparent light blue crystal powder on the spot.
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and waited for the seventh wave of attacks.
But the seventh wave of attacks did not arrive for a long time.
Suddenly, a beam of red light came from the red moon in the sky, covering the place where Taotie was!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As time passed, dense cracks began to appear on the heart of the giant, just like the fine lines on the surface of broken porcelain.
