Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3627 (Three Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Seven) Devil’s Claw

"What's the matter?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Ye Chi said: "Whenever there is a dark sky with stars like this, it will become more frightening at a certain time every day, as if the stars have claws of a devil."

"Will there be one in a while?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"I think there should be." Ye Chi said.

The two continued talking as they moved towards where Windo and Holy Palm were.

Tie Hongyan asked: "Does the sky look normal when there are no stars like this?"

"That's not normal either." Ye Chi replied.

"What's abnormal?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"In that situation, shadows would appear in the sky from time to time, and the shapes of those shadows would change. Although they didn't look that scary, when they suddenly appeared, many people would be startled when they saw them."

"Have you ever been scared?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"I've never been afraid." Ye Chi said, "Every time I see it, I know that something is wrong. I just hope that one day I can change it."

"Can we see this kind of stars most of the time?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Ye Chi said, "I remember that there were very few times when I couldn't see these stars and could only see those shadows."

"When there are stars like this, has there ever been that kind of shadow in the sky?" Tie Hongyan asked again.

"It has never appeared." Ye Chi said, "So some people in Wendu and his clan once said that strange shadows would eat strange stars."

After the two talked and walked for a while, the stars in the sky began to change. Tie Hongyan walked and looked at the sky, and asked Ye Chi: "The changes in the stars in the sky now are what you said, like the claws of a devil, right?"

Ye Chi looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. It's just the beginning, and it will keep changing."

I saw things like devil's claws extending from those strange stars in the sky, grabbing everywhere. After a while, those stars seemed to have grown teeth, as if they were constantly biting something. This "bite" actually gave people a hideous feeling, which made people feel even more terrified.

After a while, there was a loud sound of wind from the sky, but there was no wind around at this moment.

Ye Chi said, "We always hear this kind of sound, like the sound of the wind, right?"

"Yeah." Tie Hongyan said, "But there's actually no wind here. What on earth is that sound?"

"I don't know either," said Ye Chi. "In the words of Wen Duo and some other people, it's like those strange stars are exhaling. Do you think those stars look like they are biting something?"

"Yes." Tie Hongyan said, "Growing claws is like growing teeth again."

"It has always been like this. Fortunately, after a while, when that strange moon appears, the wind will not be so strong." Ye Chi said.

"Is that kind of moon only visible behind these stars?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes, it's like this every day." Ye Chi said, "That strange moon seems to be blocked by something. In fact, I think that when this kind of star appears, the moon has already appeared, but we can't see it. Every day, some time after this kind of star appears, there will be an area in the sky as if a layer of skin has been peeled off, and then the moon will suddenly appear."

"Is the 'peeling' time the same every day?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Ye Chi thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's the same. It feels like... it's about that time every day."
