"Has the Moon Spirit changed?"
Xu Le used Guyinduo Spirit Energy. He could absorb Moon Spirit, but only through a stable ritual. Asking Ai Li directly was faster right now.
"It has. It feels considerably weaker, but that's compared to previous Red Moons."
Xu Le immediately understood Ai Li's explanation. The Red Moon had indeed weakened, but only in comparison to previous Red Moons.
"Normally, the Red Moon's power should be at its strongest when the Black Tide descends. If it's weakening now, what's the reason?"
Xu Le pinched his chin.
Then Ai Li, Wang Shu, Toad, and the other creatures beside him pinched their chins too.
Xu Le glanced at them.
"Don't any of you have anything to say?"
"No." They answered in unison.
"Fine." Xu Le shook his head. Nobody wanted to use their brains. Leading a team was tough!
Xu Le entered the Tranquil State, thought carefully, analyzed the situation, and reached a conclusion.
"Could the Moon Spirit have dimmed because the Red Moon was hurt?"
Xu Le's suggestion left the others exchanging looks. The Red Moon could be hurt? Was he kidding?
"But the Red Moon is up in the sky?"
"Yes, the Red Moon is in the sky." Xu Le nodded. He knew that too.
But he was puzzled as well. What was that howl the Red Moon let out during every Black Tide? It sounded like some creature's scream...
And the Guyinduo called the Black Tide the Red Moon Calamity. Didn't that mean a calamity for the Red Moon?
Seeing Xu Le lost in thought, Wang Shu took the initiative to walk over and address the others.
"Get your defenses ready. The situation is unclear, and even if something is wrong, it's beyond any individual's ability to influence. Do your jobs. Keeping yourselves safe
