Chapter 27: Tears of Emptiness

  It was almost at the same moment that Wu Shan's low growl sounded, and a large number of moon wings came rushing in, shrouded in the bloody mist that covered the blood moon sky. In an instant, they descended upon the sky above the Wu Shan tribe, and the sharp, piercing cries replaced all other sounds in the world, becoming the only sound on this Blood Moon night.

  A beast with fur stained with fresh blood was thrown into the air by the tribesmen, and before it could fall back down, it was immediately engulfed by countless moonwings that gathered like a bloody cloud. Amidst the mournful cries, the beasts were covered in moonwings, pierced by countless sharp teeth, and instantly turned into dry corpses, their blood and lives swallowed by the moonwings.

  The remaining ones were just those skin-covered skeletons that fell to the ground with a thud, and after twitching a few times, they all died.

  On the celestial canopy, those countless moon wings, many of which directly ignored the beasts that were thrown up and instead dived down towards the lower tribe, their scarlet eyes revealing cruelty and bloodlust. Their target was the barbarian people in this tribe.

  Screams, wails, and angry roars intertwined at this moment, forming a melody that resonated with the mournful sound of the moon's wings, playing out in this eerie moonlit night.

  But the sea of fire that surrounded the entire tribe was now like a solid barrier, causing the moonwings that rushed over to fly up sharply as soon as they approached, and it had a lethal effect on them, just like the fire that could not burn down the grass houses.

  "Throw again!" Ah Gong gazed solemnly at the sky amidst the sea of flames.

  Immediately below, more of their tribesmen, in fear, continuously threw out the beasts stored for winter, as if feeding, as if offering sacrifices, letting the moon wings in mid-air go crazy and devour.

  As time ticked away, all the beasts that had stored up for winter became food for the Moonwings, and after they turned into desiccated corpses on the ground, the Moonwings in the sky, driven by their bloodthirsty madness, began to dive down in large numbers, as if wanting to break through the firewall barrier, descending upon the tribe to indulge in the barbarian blood that made them see red.

  Grandfather waved his right hand, and instantly the sea of fire transformed into a massive whirlpool, rumbling and rotating. With his own strength, he countered the Moon Wings in the sky. At the same time, arrows shot out from the tribe like a string of pearls, piercing through the sea of fire and engaging in battle with the Moon Wings.

  But for the Moonwing, which has a strange life and is almost immortal, such damage cannot have any effect. The sound of its wings stirring and that sharp scream make the people of Wushan Department frightened.

  Soon after, several moonwings flew over the sea of fire and swooped through the tribe, causing a great commotion in the Wushan Tribe.

  The same scene is also being staged in Wulong tribe.

  The Black Dragon Tribe was extremely eerie at this moment, all the tribesmen in the tribe were prostrate on the ground, not daring to move. In the sky above, the barbarian king of the Black Mountain Tribe, Bi Tu, had his arms stretched out and a frenzied expression on his face as he shouted strange incantations towards the sky.

  Innumerable moonwings swirled around him, and there were also a large number of moonwings on his body. Their sharp teeth pierced into Bitto's body, sucking out his fresh blood.

  But that figure seemed to have lost all sense of pain, without the slightest resistance, and instead, his fervent intention became even more intense. As his face gradually turned pale, the strange incantation in his mouth rose higher.

  "Sacrifice my fresh blood, the ancient Fire Tribe from a thousand years ago! You have obtained immortality and transformed into Moon Wings. If you devour my barbaric blood, then you must merge your Fire Tribe's blood into my body!!"

  "Dee-ho, boom-la-dong!!" Bitu let out a loud roar towards the sky, and his body instantly burst forth with a sharp black glow. As the black glow spread, all the moon wings on his body suddenly shrilled, their bodies rapidly shrinking, the red glow in their eyes immediately dimming. In an instant, they seemed to have lost their lives, falling from Bitu's body.

  But more moonwings are coming again in a crazy way!

  In this cycle of repetition, a large amount of lunar wing blood was absorbed by Bitou, and his body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. A thick and intense aura burst out from his body.

  Under the stimulation of this breath, not only did the moon wings above the Black Mountain tribe go crazy, but even the moon wings that went to the Wushan tribe and the Wulong tribe also had a perception, dispersed and changed direction, and rushed straight to the Black Mountain tribe.

  In the vicinity of this Black Mountain tribe, there was a figure shrouded in black robes. His presence did not match with the tribesmen who were all prostrating on the ground. The style of his black robe was also something that could not be possessed by the small tribes nearby. At this moment, he stood there, looking at the Black Mountain Barbarian King in the sky, and a hint of sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  "I taught you the method to find those moonstones to summon Huoyan's Moonwings, told you the fastest way to become a Kai Chen realm... whether you can succeed or not depends on your own luck..."

  Compared to the cruel outside world, Su Ming is relatively safe now. He pushed open the stone that covered the cave and jumped out in a hurry. His skin had blisters in many places, his lips were dry and cracked, and his heart was pounding rapidly.

  "This... is actually a habitat of the Moon Wing!" Su Ming stared intently at the depths of the cave, he had heard many legends about the Moon Wing since childhood, and deeply understood the terror of this strange beast, especially the rumors of its near indestructibility, which made Su Ming's eyes narrow.

  He hesitated for a moment, then slowly crawled out along the exit. As he approached the outside, he poked his head out and took a quick look around. In that instant, he sucked in a breath of air, and the sky outside was shrouded in a red mist, with eerie howls echoing within, amidst countless winged creatures.

  Su Ming hastily withdrew his body, hesitated and slowly retreated, re-entering the cave, where he became indecisive.

  "I don't know how the tribe is doing... I can't go out now, once I go out, those moon wings will notice immediately." Su Ming furrowed his brow, feeling anxious and worried about the current situation of the tribe.

  But he knew he had no way to solve it, his gaze flashed, staring at the depths of the cave, Su Ming's eyes slowly lit up.

  "This time, the number of moon wings is obviously more than usual, and looking at this situation, it seems that the depths of the cave should be empty...” Su Ming hesitated for a moment, then gradually walked forward, passing through the scattered land, looking at the depths of the cave, his eyes had determination.

  "Let's go and take a look, what is inside that makes the Moon Winged Beast stay here all year round, maybe we can find their secret, and when we get back, tell Grandpa, it might be helpful to him." Su Ming's body flashed, and he rushed towards the unexplored depths of the cave.

  It's strange to say, in the past, the cave was always hot and endless, with waves of heat that made it hard to bear, but now as Su Ming goes deeper, he can't feel any heat at all, instead there is a cool feeling coming from deep within the cave.

  As Su Ming walked deeper into the cave, the three tribes outside Wushan were stirring up trouble again.

  Wushan Department, more than a hundred Moonguard beasts have rushed through the sea of fire and pounced on the Wushan Department's tribesmen. The barbarians in the tribe rose up to fight back. Beilings eyes gleamed with cold light as he guarded Dusty behind him. His right hand spread out cold air, forming sharp ice flowers that dispersed around him. There were many wounds on his body, and fresh blood flowed out. Suddenly, his gaze condensed, and he glanced at a distant place without thinking. He grabbed the bow in his hand from behind his back.

  At this moment, Beiling's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent as he grasped the bow. With his left hand holding the bowstring, he suddenly pulled it open, and the arrowhead sparkled. Immediately, the ice flowers around him rapidly condensed and shot out in an arrow towards where his gaze fell!

  In the distance, Lei Chen had a bloodthirsty intention, with several moon wings on his body, but he didn't care at all. On the contrary, he was like crazy, grabbed one of the moon wings on his body, opened it and bit it.

  "I dare you to suck your grandfather's blood, and I'll suck yours too!"

  But just as he bit towards the moon wing, he suddenly realized that dozens of moon wings were rushing towards him from the sky. With his cultivation, he was fundamentally unable to withstand so many moon wings.

  At this critical moment, a cold air suddenly whizzed in, and with the appearance of the cold air, a sharp arrow wrapped in ice flowers burst into the sky above Leicheng, causing dozens of moon wings to turn over and saving Leicheng.

  Lei Chen was taken aback and turned his head to glance at Beiling, who had calmly put away her bow, a complex glint flashing in his eyes.

  The tribal chief of Wushan, with his whole body surging with energy and blood, held a silver long spear in his hand. Every time he threw it out, there would be a loud rumble, countless waves rolling back, causing the moon wings to disperse involuntarily.

  But even so, the number of moon wings that rushed down was really too many. Some ordinary tribesmen were even screaming in despair as they were about to be grabbed by the moon wings and flown into mid-air.

  At this moment, Ah Gong took action. With a wave of his bone stick, the entire tribe seemed to shake, and a huge barbarian image suddenly appeared out of thin air. The barbarian image had cruel eyes, and after it appeared, it seemed to come alive. Especially the long dragon in its hand let out a loud roar, and with a sweep of its body, it scanned the surroundings in all directions.

  As the night of the Blood Moon slowly passed, the battle within the tribe became even more intense. By the end, the Moonwing was no longer absorbing blood, but instead capturing living barbarians, as if to take them into their nest as food.

  When the distant sky gradually brightened, a sharp howl came from within the distant Wulon tribe. Among the many Moonwing beasts, a white figure was seen, its absolutely beautiful face pale with despair, being held by several tribesmen and taken towards Mount Wu at high speed.

  Behind them was an old woman wearing a coarse linen shirt, her expression anxious as she chased after them relentlessly.

  But before long, with the miserable cries spreading from within the Wulon tribe, this old woman's eyes filled with blood and sorrow, suddenly turned around and abandoned the pursuit, instead guarding her tribe.

  In the distance, the figure in white clothes watched this scene and tears flowed from his eyes...

  Those tears fell from the sky, and no one knew where they went, nor was anyone there to see them.

  As the sky slowly brightened and the Blood Moon dissipated, a large number of moonwings whizzed by from all directions, rushing towards Wushan. Among them was one moonwing that grasped several people from various tribes, including the woman in white, and rushed straight to Heiyan Peak, drilling into its entrance.
