In late autumn, the temperature begins to drop continuously, and the amount of sunlight decreases day by day. Almost all of the trees in the forest have faded to green, and they look dim from afar, like an old photograph.

At the same time, the leaves begin to fall off on a large scale, falling all over the forest floor, paving a golden avenue that looks beautiful and intoxicating.

Pandora often sat or stood on the top of the hill, looking at the forest expressionlessly, looking at it for most of the day, not knowing what she was thinking.

Richard was not as fascinated by it as Pandora, knowing very well that all the seemingly beautiful scenery was just some of the most basic physiological changes. For example, changes in temperature and light cause the chlorophyll synthesis of leaves to be blocked, the content of chlorophyll decreases, and the content of lutein and carotene increases, thus showing yellow. Another example is the increased secretion of plant hormones abscisic acid and ethylene, which leads to defoliation.

In the same way, the animals of the forest don't know it, but they don't indulge in the autumn colors either. In fact, for them, there is nothing beautiful about the autumn scenery, but more because of the existential crisis caused by the decrease in food caused by the drop in temperature.

Autumn has come, will winter be far away?

Winter is a great test for the survival of all forest animals. In this case, both herbivores and carnivores become a little agitated......

In this way, the date of the beast tide came again.

......

It's night.

The full moon hung high in the sky, and some gray silver shone on it, as if it had covered the earth with a thin veil.

Looking around, you can see that at this time, on top of this layer of tulle, there are dense black shadows, which are crazy animals, attacking each other in a rage, gnawing and scratching each other's bodies.

Not far from the hill where the black castle is located, a large mountain of more than 100 meters stands, with steep walls and flat peaks, which looks a little like a black tombstone half-buried in the soil. The animals fighting on it are the craziest, most of them are red-eyed and fearless to bite, even if they swallow their breath, they still bite the enemy's body.

Suddenly, inside this mountain, invisible spiritual power fluctuations spread rapidly, sweeping across most of the forest.

The animals, which were already in a state of madness, suddenly became more angry, furious, and bloodthirsty, completely losing their minds and becoming flesh puppets dominated by mental fluctuations. Then, under some kind of guidance, with the mountain as the center, they swept towards the surroundings, preparing to bulldoze everything around them and eliminate all obstacles.

The guidance is so strong that dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of animals are involved, turning into crazy animal legions, roaring in all directions.

The hill where the black castle is located was quiet, but it didn't last long before the sound of "rustling" began to sound from below.

In the open space in front of the castle, Pandora glanced at Gregory.

Gregory in his humanoid form said confidently: "Don't worry, I'll let them know it." As he spoke, his body swelled, and in the blink of an eye, he turned from a middle-aged strong man into a giant dragon more than ten meters long, with his wings spread and flew up with a roar.

Pandora said expressionlessly: "Scared!"

What does that mean?

Gregory thought that he had noticed that Pandora had been particularly fond of using such a syllable to convey meaning these days, but that it was difficult to understand what it meant. In most cases, it takes the help of context, Pandora's mood, and a little metaphysics to figure it out.

After thinking for a long time, Grigory did not guess whether Pandora was satisfied or dissatisfied this time, and flew into the air in confusion, clearly seeing the dense mad animals rushing up under the hill.

"Forget it, I don't want to, let's settle the matter in front of you. I almost messed up last time, and if I don't do it well this time, I might really get beaten. Alas!" Gregory said in a tired heart, and the next moment he opened his mouth, a ball of flame erupted.

"Whew!"

With the sound of exhalation, almost substantial flames erupted down, like a huge red war knife, and slashed fiercely into the black tide of crazy animals below the hill, screaming everywhere it went, and then ashes.

When the strength forms an absolute crush, no matter how much the quantity is, it becomes meaningless.

Gregory began the massacre, began the cold slaughter, and then ...... Boring slaughter, slaughtering while sighing, slaughtering while wandering.

"Whew, whew!"

The flames continued to erupt, and the crazy animals wiped out one after another, but there were always more crazy animals to fill in, and there was a steady stream of them.

"It's going to be another busy night. Grigory yawned and couldn't help but say, another breath of flame erupted, "Whew!"

"Well, why did you choose to live here in the first place? Isn't it good to change places?

"Anyway, where have the other dragons been hiding, and they haven't even seen a shadow of the other dragons for so long. Otherwise, it won't be so boring to call a few more dragons to come over and help, and breathe fire while chatting. Whew!"

"Listening to Pandora, that kid named Richard, said that he could figure out the cause of the beast tide through this beast tide, and then solve it once and for all, I don't know if it's true or not. Whew!"

......

In the black castle, in the room on the first floor.

Richard sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, already in deep meditation, and then his body shook, and his consciousness body quickly rushed out of his body.

The consciousness ascended, breaking through the roof of the castle from above, and reaching mid-air, Richard saw Gregory muttering to himself breathing fire.

In the clearing in front of the castle below, Pandora stood, staring around with a cold face. When he found that a fish had slipped through the net and rushed to the top of the mountain, he immediately jumped over and smashed it with a punch. Then he looked up and shouted disgruntled at Gregory, telling him that he had made another mistake.

Gregory muttered and began to intensify the slaughter.

Looking at it for a moment, Richard shook his head, did not forget his business, and controlled the consciousness body to fly towards the mountain not far away, and during the flight, he deliberately controlled the spiritual power to wrap the whole body to prevent the consciousness from being eroded by the strange spiritual power fluctuations in the mountain.

Soon, Richard's consciousness reached the surface of the mountain, and found that it was a bloody place, and the ground seemed to have been watered with blood, so you can imagine how many animals had fought and bled here before.

Glancing at the corpses of the animals everywhere, Richard controlled the consciousness to begin to sink, melting into the soil below.
