Shiling City's piercing, urgent warning sirens had already begun to blare.
The city lord, Cui Long, quickly climbed the watchtower and gazed into the distant wilderness.
The sky had already darkened. That bewitchingly bizarre blood moon hung high overhead, while the red mist drifting outside the territory had also grown denser without anyone noticing.
"As expected, this red mist is much denser than it was during the last Calamity Moon!"
Though he wasn't surprised, his expression remained grave.
Dense red mist meant a more violent disaster.
At this moment, the Calamity Moon had only just descended, and the tide had yet to rise. But in the wilderness, regardless of whether the red moon could illuminate them, wild monsters had undergone tremendous changes.
Somewhere underground.
"Roar!"
A Earth Rock Dragon suddenly let out a great roar. In its already scarlet pupils, strands of blood spread rapidly outward like freshly blossomed stamens. The scarlet threads spread beyond its enormous dragon eyes and continued climbing across the Earth Rock Dragon's gray-brown, mountain-like face.
Strange and horrifying!
"Splurt—"
Several lumps bulging from the Earth Rock Dragon's head suddenly burst one after another. Beneath the oozing pus were one yellowish eyeball after another. Submerged in the pus, the eyeballs rolled around.
The flesh all over the Earth Rock Dragon's body began to writhe as well. One enormous lump after another swelled up, as if something else was about to be born.
"What is this?!"
The professionals hunting the Earth Rock Dragon retreated in terror.

Yet they had never seen a sight like this.
Neither had the team captain.
But he suddenly remembered the notices and warnings recently issued by the Shiling City
