Terraria: Cruel World Legends - Chapter 284 Harvest Moon

Terra Union Headquarters——

After a busy day at work, the president of the association, Olney, stood in front of the window of his office. At this moment, he looked peaceful, holding a cup of coffee and looking at the moon, enjoying the natural tranquility around him during this rare break.

"…Heh, if every corner of Terra could be peaceful like this, then the peace we expect might come, right?" Muttering to himself, Olney slowly took a sip of coffee.

“…Hmm? Puff!! Cough…cough cough cough…”

…At the same time, in the meteorological department of the Terra Federation, the minister named Lek was processing the weather report in his office. At this time, the telephone on the desk rang, and Lek paused and looked away.

"Strange, the chairman called me at night, I'm not going to be asked to work overtime, am I?" Leike muttered, and slowly picked up the phone -

"Heheheha! Good evening! My dear Minister of Meteorology!"

"Uh?" Leck was confused by the enthusiastic greeting and the distorted voice. "...Ah, um, Chairman, please speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Look...look at the moon?" Lake was stunned for a moment. After understanding the literal meaning, he stood up and walked to the window.

“…Ah—no?!” Soon, as if seeing something, Leke’s figure and pupils trembled, “This…this…”

"My dear Minister of Meteorology." At this time, Olney's tone became particularly cold, "I would like to ask if you can sleep at night... No, you can't sleep at night."

"Chairman! You must believe that we have not detected any signs of the Harvest Moon at all, and the solar term essence has no signs of being a catalyst. You..."

"..." Leike was obviously unable to refute. At the same time, without knocking, the door of the minister's office was pushed open directly, and two panicked employees walked in quickly.

"Minister! Minister! Emergency! Just now, we detected that the energy of the Harvest Moon's solar term essence had a strong catalytic reaction, and the moon is now..."

"Ah, friends, I know, I know everything, I already know it." Lake slumped in front of the window, staring at the sky with dull eyes.

"My dear Minister of Meteorology, see you in the Federation Court." Olney left a cold last word and hung up immediately. Then he made two calls in succession, one to the External Communications Department and the other to the Federation Security Department.

The bright moon transformed into a pumpkin hung in the sky, illuminating a dim light from top to bottom. It was extremely strange, if not abrupt.

……

At night, the four of them gathered in the center of Dongfang Town.

Then, looking at the strange wheel, Elias's expression changed first, followed by the brother and sister. The three of them looked much calmer than usual.

"Xi Yao, you should know what this is, from your Book of Terra?" Elias spoke first.

"…It's hazy, but I can tell from the weird atmosphere that this phase of the moon is not a good thing."

"Yes, I should have explained it to you in detail, but the situation is urgent now. You just need to know that there will be a large number of difficult enemy monsters next."

As he spoke, Elias immediately flew into the air, scanning all directions with his sharp eyes, and soon he landed.

“…So this is the flood that Shen Yue mentioned?” Xi Yao clenched his fists even tighter. “Letting the enemy monsters appear in a sudden form without even giving an accurate description, this does not take into account the safety of the residents in the town at all.”

"Oh, you don't need to worry about your residents." Yu Yuling curled his lips and sneered, "Just as the pretty boy said, there are very few enemy monsters that actively enter human settlements. What's more, people with a little combat ability can barely deal with them. To put it another way, this is also a way to train them."

Elias shook his head and waved his hands: "Hey, you can't say that... Wait, who is the pretty boy?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the same idea of ​​seeking God as you do." Xi Yao said lightly.

"Who is that pretty boy?" Elias asked again with a serious look.

Xi Yao raised his hand: "Enough of the small talk, everyone be quiet, and now let's assign the branch teams for this matter, who knows whether it's a sudden change in the moon phase or something else."

"Quiet? I didn't say a word..." Prism, who had been silent all the time, muttered softly.

...Soon, under Xi Yao's arrangement, the four were divided into two teams: the mission of protecting Dongfang Town was given to Yu Yuling and Elias, while Xi Yao and Prism went to the periphery to kill monsters together.

"Who the hell is the gigolo?!" Elias really wanted to use the Chunxi bow in his hand to hit Yu Yuling on the head physically.

Xi Yao explained: "You can use summons to provide multi-directional protection, while Elias, who has high mobility, can quickly run around to repel enemies from all sides. The two of you can work together to protect Dongfang Town very well."

"Oh, surprisingly reasonable, so this is why you are with my sister?"

"We are the first to know each other in the team, and we have the most combined combat experience. We understand each other's fighting style, so we can look out for each other."

Xi Yao continued: "Let me explain. The reason why I chose to send a branch team to kill monsters in the periphery is as follows: Since they are Essence monsters, there will usually be loot. If we just rely on the monsters entering the town, we may not be able to gain anything, so——"

Having said this, Xi Yao did not continue. After all, the three of them already understood his intention. Then he looked at the two of them each, and then left with Prism.

After a brief farewell, Yu Yuling glanced at Elias and said, "Okay, my summons will be distributed to various locations to delay the time for your next arrival in each round. As for what you need to do, I think that guy has already made it very clear."

As soon as the voice fell, the twelve pairs of cherry butterflies gathered around Yu Yuling flew in twelve directions. Elias also flew into the air with a long sigh, put a spring bud arrow on the bowstring, and flew in a certain direction with a golden light.

Shen Yue looked up at the moon in the sky, his mouth slightly open but unable to speak.

It took a long time, until she sensed the enemy's breath was extremely close, she came to her senses, and a layer of god-killing flames immediately attached to her hands, and she cut the approaching "scarecrow" into two halves with her hand blade.

After a few seconds, the scarecrow was burned to ashes by the flames, leaving no trace.

"Well, is that all? Just a casual killing on my part?" Shen Yue covered her mouth and laughed.

Then, looking up at the moon again, Shen Yue murmured to himself: "Well, let me see if this is worthy of my title of "torrent" for it."
