I ranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Feng stood on the tall sand dune and looked up at the round moon in the sky. Trembling on his walking stick, he found Yun Ran and the others.
The other people around them kept exclaiming that something bad had happened!
“Uncle Feng, what happened?” Bai Wan quickly asked when she saw the fear on his face. It seemed as if something big had really happened.
“The moon, look at the moon in the sky!”
As soon as he said that, everyone looked up at the moon in the sky.
Even the two little packrats raised their slender necks.
Everyone knew that Sweetcake was a chatterbox.
Before Yun Ran and the others could speak, the little packrat had already realized that this moon was different from the moon she had seen before.
“The moon’s face is red. Is it sick?”
Yun Ran really admired her packrat’s imagination.
“The moon is not sick.” “Then it’s shy.”
“The moon is not shy.”
Yun Ran guessed that something was about to happen with the strange moon, so she immediately turned to look at Bai Feng. “So, is there a reason why the moon has changed color?”
Bai Feng said, “This is the Blood Moon! It’s said that if the moon changes color, there will be calamity. Green signifies hunger; red is a symbol of war; yellow highlights virtue and joy; white reflects drought and mourning; and black refers to water disasters and foreboding of sickness and death. The red refers to the Blood Moon! However, the appearance of the Blood Moon here represents one thing, which is that the King of the Ghouls is about to wake up.”
Yun Ran was speechless.
“So the King of the Ghouls has been sleeping all this time?
Bai Feng had stayed in the Great Desolate Prison for a long time. Naturally, he understood the ghouls better than the people outside.
“The ghouls are different from humans. Their lifespan is very long. It’s said that the King of the Ghouls has lived for eight to nine hundred years. Every
once in a while, he will enter a deep sleep. Sometimes, he will sleep for a long time, and sometimes, he will sleep for a short time. However, only this blood moon can awaken the King of the Ghouls.”
“Fourth Miss, hurry up and leave! Don’t bother about us old things who are sick all over and have bad legs. Take the children and leave this place quickly.”
‘Every time the King of Ghouls wakes up, he needs to drink a large amount of human blood. Young Miss Yun Ran, you, and these two young masters of the main family are the most precious bloodline of the Bai family. It will be very dangerous to continue staying here.”
The last time the King of the Ghouls woke up from his slumber was when the Bai family was exiled.
Therefore, Bai Feng had personally witnessed that hellish scene.
Under the huge blood-colored moon, a black shadow appeared and disappeared like a ghost.
Standing on the tall sand dune, he revealed his cold fangs and bit the necks of living people. After sucking them, he felt that the blood of those people was not delicious enough. He would break their necks and throw their corpses out.
Every time the King of Ghouls searched for food, many people would die.
The appearance of the Blood Moon was to tell them that the hunt for the King of Ghouls was about to begin again.
Bai Wan’s eyes were dark and her voice was slightly cold. “We are leaving the
Great Desolate Prison, but I want to take every single one of you, every single member of the Bai Family who is willing to leave with me.” Not just the children.
Her words made Bai Fengs eyes turn red. Logically speaking, they, the members of the Bai family, were people who were not related to the Bai family’s aristocratic family.
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Miss of the main family came here personally to pick them up.
“In that case, Fourth Miss, go hide in the underground cave! You can come out after the King of Ghouls comes out to hunt for food..”
