    Ge Xiu woke up before the blood moon arrived.

    He looked at the dark and cold sky outside the cave and blinked with a blank expression. He couldn’t remember how he fell asleep.

    Ge Xiu got up, and pulled the skin of his neck, he couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

    The skin from the lower jaw to the collarbone was hot, as if it had been polished by rough sandpaper, and it caused a faint burning pain with a little movement.

    He touched his neck perplexed—there was no wound.

    Has he rubbed it while he was asleep?

    Before Ge Xiu could think more about it, a gust of the cold wind rushed into the unsealed cave, blowing back the half-length black hair around his forehead and ears, exposing the sharp contours of his jaw line.

    He put down his hand and turned his head to look in the direction of the wind.

    As if pulled by invisible gravity, Ge Xiu stood up and walked slowly to the entrance of the cave.

    He looked down and observed.

    Outside the cave, the silent and boundless darkness enveloped him, and the unyielding rock standing under his feet was like an island in the endless dark night, other than it there was nothing but an empty sea of darkness.

    …The dark element seemed to be more active than ever.

    The dense and viscous wave of elements rippled silently, and there seemed to be something alarming waking up underneath its dark and deep surface.

    Ge Xiu stood at the entrance of the cave, the violent wind was whistling in his ears.

    He had a strange illusion, as if something in his body was responding to it. A mysterious joy dissolved into his blood, flowed to the limbs with the heartbeat, bringing a feeling of endless strength.

    Ge Xiu looked up to the sky.

    The blood moon emerged over the tip of the cliff, painting a part of the sky into a hazy dark red. It used to be be crescent shaped like a hook, he haven’t noticed when it started, but it gradually became rounder, like a slowly opening eye, peering coldly on the ground.

    He stared at that eye for a long time.

    Finally, Ge Xiu withdrew his gaze. In the next second, an elemental wall instantly rose from the ground, and a dense, pitch-black elemental barrier quickly covered the entrance of the cave, blocking the strange bloody moonlight.

    ——The density that once required his full concentration to create, now only needed a thought.

    The increase in strength was too fast.

    Ge Xiu looked down at his palm thoughtfully.

    Next to the palm was the slender wrist bone, cyan slender blood vessels spread under the pale skin, and faint red bloodstains covered it.

    He tried to wipe it off. Couldn’t be wiped off.

    Ge Xiu increased his strength. The piece of skin has been rubbed into a light red, but the blood stains haven’t disappeared, and on the contrary, they became more visible and vivid.

    He squinted his eyes slightly, raised his palms to be on the same level with his vision, and looked at his wrists carefully.

    The red lines were faintly visible, spreading like a mural, extending from his wrists to the sleeves.
