Disaster Strikes

Tom is an ordinary vendor on Dunkel Street in Saint-Gran.

He learned his craft from his father. As a cheese vendor, Tom has become accustomed to the life of a street vendor who works from sunrise to sunset every day.

This human-powered four-wheeled cart full of cheese is his livelihood.

As the sun gradually sets.

Tom looked at the time, smiled and said hello to his vendor friend next to him, and then pulled the four-wheeled cart to his home in the suburbs.

On the way, he did not forget to buy a small jar of honey for his little daughter as a birthday gift.

Although he is only 27 years old this year, he is already the father of four children. The youngest daughter is exactly three years old today, and the oldest child is eleven years old and can milk cows skillfully. His wife has a fifth unborn child in her belly.

Steadily moving forward.

Unconsciously.

When Tom returned home, there was only the last afterglow of the sunset in the sky.

Today's fire clouds seem to be particularly beautiful, revealing a charming scarlet, like the moment before the midnight rose withers.

"Dad!"

"Dad..."

The children came up happily and acted like a spoiled child around him.

Tom smiled happily.

While dealing with the children, he handed the money he earned today to his wife. In their ordinary life, the two of them only exchanged glances, but they were full of love.

"How is the business today?"

"There is about one tenth left. Today is Huaer's birthday, so I came back early."

Soon.

Everyone entered the house. His wife had prepared the meal in advance. The family prayed devoutly around a table that was not very sumptuous.

"Thank God..."

After the children opened their eyes, Tom smiled mysteriously.

He took out a small jar of honey from his clothes and gently placed it on the table.

"Wow!"

The children shouted in surprise, and the cheerful laughter spread throughout the room. Tom looked at this scene and felt that his heart was about to melt. He was so happy.

In 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 got up reluctantly and walked out of the house.

Only then did he realize that all the neighbors in the farm had already walked out of the room, standing in groups of three or two, 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 scared. The extinction day described in the "Ceremony of Light" is the blood-red moon. Should we do something?"

"I don't know."

Tom also didn't like this feeling very much. He felt a little creepy.

Bathed in this blood-red moonlight, the atmosphere of panic, he felt that his goose bumps were about to appear.

Moo!

The cows in the cowshed in the distance also began to make uneasy calls.

"Dad?"

The children ran out of the room and saw the blood-red moon in the sky, revealing a confused look.

"Take them back quickly!"

Tom, who was upset, quickly signaled 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, but the eldest son, who was usually the most lively and active, suddenly pointed to the distance and made a terrified sound.

"Look, what is that!"

Heard, Tom looked in the direction pointed by his eldest son.

His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and his face turned pale instantly.

On the land covered by the blood-red moonlight, some strange shadows gradually appeared in the air. Their shapes were extremely hideous and ugly, as if the demons who had been sleeping for billions of years and gradually awakened were gradually opening their blood-red eyes.

They looked very huge.

But the magical thing is that only the part in the air can vaguely see the vague shape, and the part close to the ground is nothing.

Next.

Some of the monsters opened their blood-red eyes, slowly raised their heads, and looked at the blood-red moon in the sky.

They howled to the sky, but no sound could be heard.

"Ah..."

The farmers' screams of fear came 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 the restless cows, but when their hideous claws fell on the ground, they were affected by unknown factors and turned from corpses into nothingness.

A strange scene appeared.

The cows were not affected at all.

Seeing this, the monster seemed angry. He opened his bloody mouth, and dark red demonic light poured out, covering most of the farm.

The frightened women reacted one after another and planned to return to the room.

However, as the monster's mouth sucked violently, the women's bodies suddenly stiffened in place, and then fell straight down. After their souls were forcibly taken away, they floated into the bloody mouth in the sky.

"Go into the room quickly, don't stand under the light of the blood moon."

The dazed Tom was awakened by a dragonfly-like elf. Fear made his breathing heavy and his body covered with 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.

…

other side.

Chen Mo and Xia Ying from St. Grand City were like tourists at this time, sitting by the window in the house, looking at the bloody full moon in the sky.

The once bustling and bustling streets 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.

There were bursts of thunderous explosions and concussions in the direction of the tower of the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences.

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 Xi Ang.

"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. 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 a nightmare scenario.

"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 weather."

After Xiying turned on the gramophone, he came to Linda and sat with her.

Nelina's 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 our traces. You have to learn to survive in the following dark and turbulent era and learn to overcome 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 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 soon 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 move on the edge of the connection between 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 appearance and the world of blood moon is not the integration that ordinary people understand.

Although the high-altitude areas of both sides have basically been 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 "I am in you" and "I am in you". 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 dirty and crowded areas.

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 magic 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. It's like seeing an elf.

This is probably what is called balance.
