Nocturnal Beast, it was the beasts that got infected by Dark Ki. Usually, one would die or turn into a specter if got infected by the Dark.
But sohow, there was a beast that was strong enough to keep their lives while bearing the Dark Ki. And that beast was called Nocturnal Beast.
Just like its na, the beast was active in the dark and rested during the day. No hunger and undying, it was the right description to describe the Nocturnal Beast.
Just like the Specter, they hunted the living creature to increase their numbers. The nightmare of the night, people also called them that.
Heero was the first one to realize the guests' arrival.
"Gather at the bonfire!" Heero called out as he pulled the kids with him.
"What's wrong, Daddy?" Confused, Miao Miao asked.
"There's sothing coming from there!" Moira was the one who answered Miao Miao's confusion while pointing at the direction where the Nocturnal Beasts were.
Then other kids looked at the direction, but they saw nothing but darkness.
Heero was surprised, Moira had a good sense or maybe a sharp instinct.
"Let's gather with Brother Zhou Yi, those creatures are dangerous, " Moira hurried the other kids.
"Don't worry, Big Sister Moira! We have Daddy here, " Miao Miao claid proudly.
Myung-Hee also nodded her head and added, "With Teacher Xing is the safest place, "
Lan Lan also nodded vigorously. The three little girls' level of trust in Heero was at the level of blindly trusting him.
Hearing that, sohow, Moira's restless feeling was reduced by a lot. She did not know why, but just like Myung-Hee said, being near Uncle Heero gave her a sense of security.
Heero who listened to the kids' conversation made a happy smile. He was over the moon just by how they trusted him.
'I will not let you kids down'
When Heero arrived at the bonfire, Sun Zhou Yi approached him anxiously, "What's wrong, Master?"
Sun Zhou Yi could feel an urgency from Heero's call hence he was a little bit anxious.
"We have guests, many of them so get ready!" Heero did not say anything about Nocturnal Beast, but directly to their characteristics.
"They don't have a body, formless. So you have to use your eyes to find them!" He pointed at the direction where the Nocturnal Beast was coming from.
This was the reason why Nocturnal Beast was avoided by many people. They deserved their na to be called a nightmare.
Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi caught the aning behind Heero's words.
"Use your Mystical Eyes to see them!" It was the ssage. As for why their Master did not say it out directly, it was because there was an outsider with them, Elazaro Tania.
Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata used the Mystical Eyes, but what they saw was very vague. The Dark Ki that mixed in the dark night was hard to see.
Different from his two disciples, Heero's Mystical Eyes were on another level. His eyes turned violet and soon, a clear view of his enemy appeared in his eyes.
Hundreds or even thousands of Nocturnal Beasts stopped at five hundred ters away from his position.
They seed to hesitate to attack. One of Nocturnal Beast, overly cautious. They were troubleso to deal with and they were small in numbers compared to the other races.
That was why they beca overly cautious. If they knew they could not beat the opponent, they would run away.
"Go closer to the bonfire, Daddy will go to fetch sothing good for you, " Heero whispered to the kids.
Miao Miao, Myung-Hee, Lan Lan, and Moira went to Hong Yu and Han Ying's side.
Heero then turned toward Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata.
"Keep them safe, I am alone enough!"
The Nocturnal Beast might be troubleso to the others but not him. After arranging everything, Heero made his move.
Swoosh!
Heero's body shot to the sky.
Everyone subconsciously raised their head up. They could not see Heero, but they knew Heero was up there.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Out of nowhere, thunder kept flashing in the sky, as if the sky was cracked.
Even though no one knew what was the cause, they knew it was Heero. Just as everyone looked at the sky in awe, a big thunder descended five hundred ters away from them.
The thunder did not cause an explosion. It spread all over the direction, resulting in a field of thunder.
Thanks for the light from the thunder, everyone finally got to see their guests.
A smoke-like creature with black eyes. Just like Heero said, they did not have a body, shapeless. And the thunder landed at the dense of these shapeless creatures.
Inside the smoke-like body, they identified a palm-sized black crystal. It looked like floating around, many of them.
anwhile, Heero was standing in the center of the still spreading thunderfield. The thunderfield reached a vast area and most of the smoke-like creatures were paralyzed by the thunder.
After that, Heero moved. He did not attack the Nocturnal Beast. He was rely plucking the black crystal that floated around.
Yes, Heero took the black crystal and the smoke dispersed afterward. But of course, he had to cover his hand with Ki to take the black crystal.
You could not just take it or the smoke would corrode your hand. From afar, Heero looked like a farr harvesting his crops rather than battling against the Nocturnal Beast.
In this case, it was not crops but black crystals. Just like that, hundreds of Nocturnal Creatures died while the remaining Nocturnal Creatures escaped.
Elazaro Tania looked at the thunderfield in a daze. The thunderfield scene reminded her of another thunderfield in the north.
It was the place where the dragon descended and it lasted for a full month before the thunderfield disappeared.
'Don't tell it was truly him'
Elazaro Tania's body shuddered voluntarily, rembering he almost offended the man who summoned the thunder dragon.
The battle ended as fast as it started. After Heero plucked all black crystals, the thunderfield also disappeared.
"See! My Daddy is amazing! Brother Zhou Yi is nothing compared to my Daddy!" Said soone who used to idolize Sun Zhou Yi, Miao Miao.
She was proud of her Daddy and boasted before the other kids.
Sun Zhou Yi heard what Miao Miao said about him. He was smiling and shaking his head.
'How can you compare with my Master? I am still far below him, '
Moira was truly amazed by Heero's prowess. Rembering the scene that just happened, a thought popped in her mind.
'What if I have that kind of power? Mommy would not die'
"I want to be as strong as Uncle!" Moira blurted out in a firm tone.
"Then join us! Join our training every morning with Teacher Xing~, " Lan Lan invited Moira.
Myung-Hee and Miao Miao nodded their heads. Moira responded happily and hugged the three little girls.
'I can't protect Mommy anymore, but I will use that power to avenge Mommy!'
The small interlude did not disturb the group's plan to have a barbecue while enjoying the beautiful view.
Heero brought back the black crystal and showed it to the group. It was black in color, but the crystal released a glow in a different color. It looked beautiful and the kids sward around the crystal, playing with it.
Even though it did not go as he planned, Heero was satisfied with the outing. After the barbecue, the group spent their ti a little more with a relaxing activity.
"All right, kids! It's ti to go to bed!" Han Ying called out the four little girls who were playing around the bonfire.
"But I am not sleepy yet, Mom~, " Miao Miao replied in a rather spoiled tone, hoping her Mom would let her play a little bit longer.
Even though the other kids did not dare to voice it out, they nodded in agreent. They still wanted to play.
"Don't you want to go to the Purple Mountain? We will go to the Purple Mountain tomorrow if you"
Did not wait for Han Ying to finish her words. Miao Miao stood up and was followed by three other little girls.
Yawn~
She yawned dramatically, "I am very sleepy. Let's sleep~, "
The four little girls headed back to their tent to sleep.
*** ***
The next morning, the group headed to the Purple Mountain in two cars.
When they arrived at the foot of Purple Mountain, the Trio Sword Lunatic and the other heroes were there. They were waiting for Heero.
Stepping out of the car, Heero walked toward the group, "From here on, leave everything to !"
This was supposed to be an easy task for Heero. It was because of the Purple Mountain Tribe's origin.
Saint, his Master, was the tribe's savior. After saving the Purple Mountain Tribe from the destruction of the specter's attack.
His Master taught them how to fight, to forge weapons and armor, and also the path of dicine.
So, as long as he revealed his identity as Saint's disciple, he would be welcod warmly.
At least, it was his thought until he revealed his identity. Right after he revealed his identity, he was rained down by countless arrows!
