Wang Yuhang looked at the blood rain and mumbled to himself, "There must be a monster in the sky. Is there something weird inside the Jade-Gold Tree?"
Han Sen was starting to wonder, too. The strange phenomena were too scary, and he did not know what to expect.
"Maybe I shouldn't have brought Little Uncle here."
Han Sen regretted his decision, but no matter how unlucky Wang Yuhang was, there was no reason for him to create such a scene.
It was most likely because of the Jade-Gold Tree.
On the second day, the blood rain stopped and the dark clouds dispersed.
The bloody scene from last night had long disappeared.
The blood that surged like a river seemed to have been sucked dry by the mountains.
There was not a trace of it left behind.
However, the mountains that had been drenched by the blood rain were covered with new vegetation.
It was as if they had grown overnight.
The land and mountains that had been scorched by the lightning were covered with a layer of green life.
When Han Sen and Wang Yuhang looked at the Jade-Gold Tree again, their jaws dropped. After the blood rain, the Jade-Gold Tree had grown from three feet tall to thirty feet tall. The seven golden chests were now the size of shoeboxes, and they shone with a golden light.
Between the green and gold, there was a purple air. It did not look like an ordinary tree, but rather, it was like the root of a fairy.
"Moment, do you really not know what this Jade-Gold Tree is?" Han Sen did not believe something as strange as this would grow anywhere.
Moment Queen shook her head and said, "I did not choose this shelter. Even if there is something strange about this mountain, it is not something I can understand."
Han Sen looked at Moment Queen for a while, and he did not think she was lying. He frowned and said, "The golden chests have not yet ripened, and yet there are so many strange phenomena. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse. Do you think we should continue to guard this place?"
"I don't know." Moment Queen shook her head again, as if she did not know what was going on.
A few days later, strange phenomena continued to occur. At night, the sound of ghosts crying could be heard from the Purple Mountain, as if they were howling towards the heavens.
During the day, the sun was shining brightly, but there were snowflakes drifting down from the Purple Mountain, making the surrounding several hundred li look like a world of ice and snow in the north. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
But at night, the snow that covered the mountains melted overnight. When the sun came out again, the mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles were full of colorful flowers.
In less than a day, all the flowers had withered, and the surrounding mountains were covered in a deathly gray color.
Han Sen's heart was getting more and more anxious. Wang Yuhang had already returned to the Alliance, but all sorts of weird things were still happening. It did not stop there.
Whitey originally had a pair of snow-white antlers, but on this day, they suddenly turned blood-red.
"The blood of an auspicious beast, an omen of great calamity, is this a warning?"
Han Sen was shocked. For a lucky beast like Whitey to have something like this happen to it, it could not be a good omen.
Han Sen returned to the Alliance, wanting to read up on these strange phenomena. But the sanctuaries were not ancient, so there was no explanation for these strange phenomena.
But Han Sen had seen similar signs, and the blood was a sign of great calamity.
This made Han Sen very suspicious. He went to the Skynet to see if there was any feng shui. He wanted to know how to explain these strange phenomena.
But there was no such thing as feng shui anymore. There were only research forums about strange phenomena. Han Sen posted a few strange phenomena on the Skynet, in the hopes that someone would be able to find out what they were.
But the people who replied said that Han Sen was being ridiculous, and that such strange phenomena did not exist in this world.
Either that, or they wanted to know where Han Sen had seen the strange things.
There were also some people who understood strange phenomena, but they did not say anything.
"Purple Mountain Tears, Sky and Earth Cry Blood, Night Ghosts Cry, Auspicious Beast Blood. According to ancient theories, this is a sign of great evil being born. If there is a strange phenomenon like this, even if it is only one of them, the world will be in chaos.
But this is just a legend from ancient times. I have never seen these signs appear in real life. "A person called Nighttalk Stargazer replied, which shocked Han Sen.
Because in the post, he only said that the mountain was bleeding, the sky was raining blood, and the night ghosts were crying. He did not say it was a purple mountain, and he did not say Whitey's antlers were blood-red. Nighttalk Stargazer's description was very close. Although it was not complete, and it was only a part of it, it still made Han Sen very suspicious.
Han Sen quickly added Nighttalk Stargazer as a friend, and he left a message to ask him what these strange phenomena meant.
Nighttalk Stargazer only told him that he had read about them in some ancient books. He only knew that this was a sign of great evil being born, and he did not know much else.
Han Sen chatted with him for a while, but he did not get the gist of it. It seemed that this was all he knew, so he gave up.
According to what the Night Language Stargazer said, if any of these strange phenomena appeared, a great evil of the present age would appear. Then, on the Purple Mountain's side, one after another, and there were even more. Every day, different kinds of strange phenomena would appear. Wouldn't this be an unprecedented evil of all evils?
Han Sen did not believe it, but it was just a Jade-Gold Tree. There was no way it could be so evil.
He had seen the Empty Holy Vine before, so there was nothing to be afraid of about a Jade-Gold Tree.
Han Sen thought this, but he still felt uneasy. He walked around and found that there was not a single creature in sight for a few hundred miles.
The super creatures that had been nearby were nowhere to be seen, which made Han Sen even more worried.
After returning to the shelter, Han Sen hesitated. In the end, he took Little Black, Big Black, and Little White with him and left Moment Shelter. They walked out of the mountain.
He would rather come back and snatch it later than stay there and take the risk. The situation near the Purple Mountain was indeed too terrifying. If things went wrong, they might lose their lives there.
Before he knew what was going on, Han Sen did not want to stay there.
The group of people walked for four hundred miles, and they finally saw other creatures. Han Sen felt relieved, and he found a place to set up camp. He watched the Purple Mountain from afar.
More than ten days later, the Purple Mountain was shrouded in multicolored light. Even from a few hundred miles away, it could be seen clearly in broad daylight. Furthermore, there was a faint fragrance wafting over. It was unknown if the golden treasure chest fruit was about to ripen.
When the smell was getting stronger, Han Sen felt the gourd in his hand move. He was shocked, and he quickly looked at the gourd. It was still in Han Sen's hand, and it did not seem to be moving.
But inside the gourd, the heartbeat was getting faster and clearer. It was like he wasn't holding a gourd. It was like he was holding a beating heart.
