The light in this village was already very dim, and it didn't take long for the sky to turn completely dark.
Originally, some light could be seen in the straw hut, but as the sky turned completely dark, the narrow straw hut also fell into darkness.
Fortunately, everyone's eyesight wasn't weak, and they could still see their surroundings clearly.
"Wuwuwu …"
After the sky turned completely dark, the howls outside grew louder and louder.
At this time, a ball of light appeared not far away. This ball of light was very bright, and even through the thick straw hut, everyone could see it clearly.
"Cover your ears!" Fuxi suggested.
After the ball of light appeared, an ear-piercing scream was immediately heard. "Wuwuwu …"
After a while, the screams gradually died down.
"This, this is a Shift?" Donghuang pointed at the ball of light outside the straw hut and asked.
Through the thick straw, everyone could see an irregularly shaped ball of light. The ear-piercing scream was also coming from this ball of light.
"Yes, they're starting to come out." Nuwa nodded.
After the first Shift came out of the straw hut, the second one followed closely behind.
Just like the first one, the second Shift also let out a miserable scream …
Then the third, the fourth, the fifth …
At first, everyone was able to endure the unbearable howls, but the endless screams made everyone feel even more pressured.
Donghuang, Rat King Sheng Tian, Elder Ying, and the others' faces turned green, and they even became a little restless.
"This sound won't last for the entire night, right?" Luo Zheng asked in a low voice.
Nuwa shook her head and smiled bitterly. "This is just the appetizer. These Shifts have a division of labor. Every night, they gather together and desperately howl. Even outside the Wailing Grounds, you can hear it."
The howls of Shifts were already so terrifying, and if all of them howled at the same time, it could drive people crazy.
This was no longer an ordinary howl, but a mental attack!
"How can we endure this?" Elder Ying said with a livid face.
"Just destroy your hearing," Fuxi said. "Everyone can use Divine Sense to communicate, and wait until the next morning to repair your ears."
Just as Fuxi said this, Elder Ying raised both hands and pierced her ears with two fingers.
With two streams of blood oozing out of her ears, Elder Ying's hearing had been destroyed. At the same time, her face began to show a comfortable expression, and the black and blue color quickly faded away.
Donghuang, Elder Gall, Sky Winning Rat King, Wing Monarch, and the three Immortal Hunters followed suit and destroyed their hearing.
Repairing a damaged sense of hearing was as easy as lifting a finger. Rather than saying that they were "destroying" their sense of hearing, it was better to say that they were temporarily "shutting off" their sense of hearing.
"Luo Zheng, can you still take it?" Nuwa glanced at Luo Zheng.
"It's still bearable." Luo Zheng nodded.
"Don't try to be brave. Those strange wails can't be understood with common sense. Those sounds can really make you collapse. When you can't take it anymore, it's better to destroy your hearing," Nuwa warned.
"Hmm …"
Just as Luo Zheng was nodding his head, Shift, the last one to walk out of the straw hut, let out a sharp wail, and the village immediately fell into silence.
Donghuang and the others' sense of hearing had been destroyed. They could no longer hear anything, but they were fine with it.
However, Luo Zheng and the others were not used to such a quiet environment when the sound suddenly stopped.
Fortunately, this sudden stop didn't last for long. It only lasted for five or six breaths.
Through the straw hut, they could see that the white balls of light had gathered in groups of three or five. An even louder wail once again resounded through the sky.
Although these wails weren't as sharp as before, before, they had been wailing one by one. Now, several of them were wailing at the same time. The power of these wails was even greater than before.
"Woo …"
The Heavenly Hound of Trigram let out a low growl and looked at Fuxi with a pitiful face.
Fuxi gently tapped the Heavenly Hound of Trigram's ears with two fingers, destroying its sense of hearing.
Next, it was Nuwa and Fuxi's turn.
Before Fuxi destroyed his own sense of hearing, he glanced at Luo Zheng again. "It's meaningless to force yourself. Hurry up and do it."
Although Luo Zheng's endurance was much stronger than the others, as the wails became louder and louder, he also felt more and more tortured.
After Fuxi's reminder, Luo Zheng nodded slightly and stretched out his fingers to poke his ears.
When two forces pierced his eardrums, one from the left and one from the right, there was a muffled rumble. Then, the whole world became quiet, and all the sounds had nothing to do with him.
However, at this time, Luo Zheng felt a cool sensation in his ears.
His sense of hearing was automatically restored in three breaths!
The extremely ear-piercing wails became louder and louder, quickly occupying Luo Zheng's mind. It was as if a chisel was drilling back and forth in his mind.
Fuxi, Nuwa, and the others were stunned when they saw Luo Zheng holding his head in pain.
"What's wrong, Luo Zheng?" Nuwa asked with her divine sense.
"My sense of hearing has been restored …" Luo Zheng endured the pain and replied with his divine sense.
"Restored …" Nuwa was also somewhat speechless.
She had previously seen that Luo Zheng's bloodline ability seemed to work sometimes, but sometimes not.
Now, it helped Luo Zheng restore his sense of hearing. Was it also due to the bloodline ability?
"Wuwuwu —"
The Shifters outside the straw hut once again let out resounding cries. This time, the wails were ten times louder than before.
While Luo Zheng's mind was in a mess, he gently tapped his ears again with two fingers. He instantly lost his sense of hearing, and the whole world returned to silence.
But this time, the recovery was even faster …
The wails only paused for a moment before they resounded in Luo Zheng's ears again.
"Again!"
Luo Zheng stabbed his ears again.
But this time, he didn't even have time to feel pain before his ears were restored …
Everyone watched as Luo Zheng continuously stabbed himself with a baffled expression. They used their divine sense to ask Nuwa, and after they understood the general reason, they were also speechless. At the same time, they also looked at him with sympathy.
After continuously stabbing himself and restoring himself hundreds of times, Luo Zheng finally chose to give up and let those wails pour into his ears.
At this stage, the Origin Divine Blood couldn't replace him. Otherwise, it wouldn't have needed to use such a troublesome method. It must have other reasons for doing this …
Luo Zheng gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged with a serious expression.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he could only endure it.
Fuxi and Nuwa didn't know how powerful those Shifters' wails were. Every night, they destroyed their sense of hearing, so they hadn't really experienced it.
In less than an hour, the intense pain brought about by the wails was already unbearable for Luo Zheng. And this night, which lasted for twenty hours, was an unimaginable torment.
Everyone stared at Luo Zheng with worried expressions, and a trace of vigilance appeared on their faces.
If those Shifters discovered that there was an outsider here, they would undoubtedly die.
If Luo Zheng couldn't bear the torment and wanted to tear down the straw hut, they would have to act immediately to stop him.
But Luo Zheng's pain only lasted for about four hours. After four hours, the painful expression on his face gradually calmed down and was replaced by a suspicious expression.
Those wails changed and were replaced by a kind of low chanting sound!
