After an inspection yielded no results, everyone shook their heads.
"Let's just rest for now."
"We can come back tomorrow!"
Seeing the exhausted faces of the soldiers, Bai Feng said.
There were still five to six days until the event, so resting was fine.
The soldiers all sat down on the ground. A few soldiers took out food from their backpacks and distributed it to everyone.
A moment later, everyone, full and satisfied, lay down to rest in an orderly fashion.
"What are you thinking about?"
Bai Feng, who had settled everyone, turned to see Ao Yuan gazing at the large tree in the center of the altar and asked.
"Nothing."
Ao Yuan retracted his gaze and shook his head.
For some reason, a gut feeling told him that this giant tree was not as simple as it seemed.
But...
No matter how Ao Yuan investigated, the conclusion was that it was ordinary.
"Let's rest first."
"We'll investigate thoroughly tomorrow!"
Ao Yuan said again, then rested his head beside Dai Xiao Mei and closed his eyes.
Bai Feng nodded slightly and leaned against the giant tree, his eyes occasionally scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
It was evident that even though they had learned from the monster that the altar was not dangerous, he was still somewhat uneasy.
After an unknown period of time.
Amidst the silence, a chorus of snores gradually filled the air.
The surrounding soldiers had clearly fallen asleep.
This was understandable.
They had indeed been very tired today.
First, they were chased by that strange red creature, and then they had walked for a whole day.
Meanwhile, in the live stream.
Seeing that everyone had fallen asleep, most of the viewers did not leave the stream.
Instead, they curiously observed their surroundings through the camera.
One reason was their curiosity about the small world, and the other was that they wanted to figure out what was different about the altar.
After all, as the saying goes, three cobblers with their wits combined equal a master strategist.
With so many of them, they should be able to spot something unusual.
"Do you think the blood-red patterns under the giant tree are strange?"
"Minister Bai and Dai Dai both said before that there was a strong smell of blood."
"Why do I think the altar itself is strange?"
"How can it only shine brightly for one month a year and be ordinary the rest of the time?"
"I once heard a legend about a very sinister giant tree in the world!"
"It eats people every night~"
"I think something strange is definitely going to happen!"
"Brothers, let's talk, but can you not be so scary late at night? If I can't sleep, it's your responsibility?"
...
As they were discussing.
Suddenly, they saw Bai Feng, who had been sitting quietly, leap to his feet with a whoosh!
He looked into the distance, his pupils suddenly dilating!
"What did Minister Bai see?"
"Don't make it so exciting late at night!"
"Holy crap, look behind you!"
"Behind you, the big tree!"
"!!"
Numerous bullet comments flooded in, and the viewers in the live stream looked in that direction.
In front of the camera.
A vigorous red mist emerged from the blood-red patterns.
And everyone could clearly see the patterns coming to life, slowly flowing towards the giant tree in the center.
In just a moment.
The dark red giant tree also faintly emitted speckles of red light!
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Meanwhile, on-site.
Seeing that Ao Yuan and Dai Xiao Mei also seemed to sense something was wrong, they immediately woke up.
"What's going on!"
Opening their eyes and seeing the scene before them, Dai Xiao Mei's eyes widened, and her sleepiness vanished instantly.
At the same time, Dai Xiao Mei also turned the live stream camera.
She saw.
Not far away.
In the dark night, streaks of scarlet light shone.
Upon closer inspection.
Those scarlet lights were the eyes of various creatures!
There were the red creatures they had encountered before, the monsters of the Mo tribe, and many creatures they had never seen before!
They roared, charging towards the altar as if they had gone mad, and even fought amongst themselves as they charged!
Seeing this, everyone was stunned at first.
Then they all recalled what Bai Feng had said earlier.
These monsters clearly wanted to reach the altar to enhance their strength.
But wasn't it said...
There were at least three more days?
Why was it so much earlier?
The audience's questions clearly could not be answered.
Because.
At this moment, looking at the creatures of the small world getting closer and closer.
Bai Feng and Dai Xiao Mei didn't have time to say anything before they immediately began to warn the surrounding soldiers.
"Get up! Quickly, get up!"
Following Bai Feng's roar, the soldiers all opened their eyes with a jolt.
Upon opening their eyes and seeing the scene before them, everyone shivered.
What a terrifying sight!
Their vision was filled with monsters rushing towards them!
"Quick, leave!"
"Everyone, get away from the altar immediately!"
"Their target should be the altar!"
While everyone was in shock, Bai Feng shouted again, and the soldiers snapped back to attention and immediately began to act.
Even though the soldiers present were terrified, obeying orders.
Was their duty!
The next second.
Everyone stood up and ran in the opposite direction.
At this moment, Ao Yuan, flying in the air, looked into the distance at the approaching monsters, his brow furrowed.
Because.
He noticed!
Behind this group of creatures were several behemoths, whose strength had reached the Foundation Establishment realm!
Although he didn't know the extent of their power, Ao Yuan could feel a faint sense of danger from them.
"Why are so many creatures suddenly rushing towards the altar?"
Dai Xiao Mei asked as she ran in the opposite direction, "Wasn't it said... there were at least three more days?"
"We were tricked!"
Bai Feng said with a grim expression, occasionally checking to see if anyone was falling behind.
"Tricked?" Dai Xiao Mei paused.
Bai Feng's face was as dark as water, his eyes narrowed, and he clenched his fists. "We must have been deceived by that monster!"
"Actually, the altar should have opened today, but it deliberately delayed it to lure us in!"
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiao Mei paused, then understood.
The current situation could only be explained by this.
In the live stream.
"Damn, so that's how it is!"
"Minister Bai is indeed Minister Bai, he figured out what's going on in such a short time!"
"Damn it, where is that monster now?"
"I'll show him a thing or two!"
"How dare he frame our Great Xia!"
"Stop arguing, relatively speaking, I'm more worried if Minister Bai and the soldiers can escape!"
"If they can't, it will be terrible!"
As the viewers in the live stream chatted, Ao Yuan, who had been in the air, inadvertently swept his gaze around.
His brow suddenly tightened.
Because.
He discovered that the surroundings were just like their backs!
All of them were flashing with scarlet eyes.
This clearly indicated one thing.
They were surrounded!
...
