"I've never understood, why would a beast tide of such a scale erupt at a fixed time?"
Qin Yi was, after all, an outsider. He only knew a little about the primordial forest from Chu Fenghan. There would inevitably be some omissions, and there were even some puzzling things.
For example, this beast tide, there were no signs of humans in the forest. A beast tide erupting was already a strange thing. Not to mention that this beast tide erupts at a specific time.
The Bright Moon Wolf, as a demonic beast that was born and raised in the forest, naturally knew more about these things than Qin Yi and the others.
Hearing Qin Yi's question, the Bright Moon Wolf's scarlet eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. The giant wolf's head also quickly drooped down.
"To tell you the truth, we were forced to do this."
The Bright Moon Wolf pondered for a long time, and finally told Qin Yi about the secrets of the Primordial Desolate Forest: "To tell you the truth, the secrets of the Primordial Desolate Forest are hard to be discovered even by us demon beasts who have lived for hundreds of years. Every half a year, as long as it is a demonic beast in the forest, it will be led by a mysterious force, and involuntarily run into the depths. "
"Involuntarily run into the depths?"
Hearing this, Qin Yi could not help but furrow his brows, "Didn't you say that the depths of this place is a forbidden area for you guys? Why would they be led by the mysterious force and run inside? "
The Bright Moon Wolf nodded, "Under normal circumstances, that is indeed the case. However, at that time, our bodies are no longer in our control. Most importantly, when we are being controlled, we won't even have a consciousness of our own. The only thing we know is that the direction we are heading in is the depths of the forest. "
"No consciousness?"
Qin Yi had never heard of such a thing. Generally speaking, when demonic beasts erupt into a beast tide, one was because they were being commanded, and the other was to defend against external enemies.
No matter what the situation was, the demonic beasts in the beast tide would basically act on their own. Why would they not be controlled, and advance in unison without any consciousness at all?
"Could it be that a great demon in the depths is controlling these demonic beasts?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Qin Yi's mind, but was quickly overruled by himself, "If it could control the consciousness of the demonic beasts in the entire Primordial Desolate Forest, then the strength of the great demon in the depths of this forest would be incomparably terrifying. Why do you continue to hide in this primitive forest and not attack the human cities? "
Without a doubt, the relationship between demonic beasts and humans was almost innately hostile. If the Great Demons of this Primitive Desolate Forest possessed such terrifying strength, they would have already started attacking High Wind City.
With the strength of the High Wind City's City Lord, he would not be able to defend the city.
"Most importantly, these Greater Demons have long since become the pinnacle existences in this primordial forest. If you want to command these demon beasts, you don't need to control their consciousness. "
Qin Yi's thoughts raced as he completely eliminated this possibility. Soon after, the bewilderment in his deep eyes grew deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed through his eyes, "Could it be that the beast horde in the Primordial Desolate Forest has something to do with the strong aura that was suddenly emitted?"
Once this thought flashed through his mind, it was like a flame that was blown by a light breeze, starting to burn fiercely, "Perhaps, there really is such a possibility. Although I don't know what the connection between the two is. But right now, this explanation is the most reasonable. "
Thinking of this, Qin Yi became more and more interested in this deep secret.
"Lord, could it be that you want to take this chance to sneak into the depths of the forest?"
The Bright Moon Wolf obviously saw through Qin Yi's thoughts, and immediately advised, "Absolutely not. Although we have lost our consciousness, we are demonic beasts after all. Instinctively, they would attack the invaders. Moreover, in this dense forest, other than the great demons in the depths of the forest, there are also some demonic beasts whose strength is no weaker than mine! Once we are surrounded, it will be very dangerous. "
Qin Yi smiled faintly, but there was not the slightest hint of panic. In his pitch-black, starry eyes, there was only endless silence and certainty. Like the stars in the sky, unchanging since time immemorial.
Looking at his gaze, even Lu Yu's originally apprehensive heart gradually calmed down. Among the group, there was actually not a single face that revealed dejection or cowardice. There was even some faint excitement, as if they were full of anticipation towards this beast horde.
"What if we have a way to sneak into the group of demonic beasts?"
The corner of Qin Yi's mouth curled up into a confident smile, his voice was steady like the ringing of a bell, distant yet peaceful.
Suddenly, in his hand, there were a few pearl-like objects. The top was mixed with a faint blood color, giving off a strong but incomparably stinky aura.
These few were the demonic beast cores that Qin Yi and the others had obtained in the past few days. Moreover, the ones that Qin Yi picked out were the few strongest demonic beasts' cores.
The reason why Qin Yi chose them was because these few cores had the most vigorous demonic aura.
If they were to borrow the demonic aura of these demonic beasts' cores to conceal themselves, they could successfully conceal their auras.
At that time, as long as they disguised themselves slightly and hid at the back of the group, Qin Yi believed that they would still be able to escape unscathed from this beast horde.
As long as they followed the beast horde and successfully entered the depths of the primordial forest. Naturally, the reason behind this was very clear.
…
Night gradually descended on the primordial forest. The bright moonlight was like the skirt of a goddess, sweeping across the primordial forest. In the sky, a dark cloud quickly appeared, enveloping the entire primordial forest, causing it to lose all light.
Rumble.
The ground of the primordial forest began to tremble continuously. The footsteps of countless demonic beasts came from afar, but it was like thunder. Even Qin Yi could not help but feel his heart tremble.
"I really did not expect that along the way, there would be so many demonic beasts in this primordial forest."
Just thinking about it was enough to make one's scalp go numb.
He finally understood why the Bright Moon Wolf would urge them to hide.
Once they were discovered to be intruders, these demonic beasts that had lost their consciousness would become the most terrifying army, causing them to die without a complete corpse.
Howl!
Not far away, the Bright Moon Wolf started to become uneasy. His huge head began to shake uncontrollably. In its scarlet eyes, a blank expression also appeared and disappeared.
Looking at its struggling appearance, it seemed to be resisting something with all its might.
Long before the sky turned dark, the Bright Moon Wolf had suggested to keep a certain distance from Qin Yi and the others. It could be seen that it was very clear how terrifying it would become once it lost its rationality.
