Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 2 The Fishing Village's Abnormalities
Ever since Lan Feng and his group returned from the Mossom Mountains, strange things have been happening in the small fishing village from time to time.

……

The little boy grew up day by day at Lan Feng's home. Lan Feng felt it was a blessing from heaven to have such a son, and treated him like his own precious treasure, so he named him Lan Tian (Blue Sky). Lan Tian was usually quiet and well-behaved, and after eating, he would fall into a deep sleep. His appetite was growing, and as he grew bigger every day, there wasn't enough food for him in the house.

Lan Tian was already running around the village at the age of three, possessing a strong and robust physique. He was more sturdy, intelligent, and capable than his peers, and his appetite was even greater than that of a six-year-old. At three, Lan Tian dared to go fishing at sea with Lan Feng, his courage growing with each passing year. By six, he was already able to accompany adults on hunting trips into the mountains, venturing into the Mensomm Mountains. From a young age, Lan Tian followed Lan Feng on fishing trips and hunting trips, honing his strong will, developing powerful muscles and bones, and mastering solid basic martial arts skills, becoming a capable assistant to Lan Feng.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. Now Lantian has grown into a handsome young man, with the height and physique of a fifteen-year-old, dashing and strong with a dark complexion.

That noon, Lan Feng took Lan Tian to hunt in the Mossom Mountains again. In the valley, the group chased a wild beast, running rapidly into the deep forest. Their howls and shouts shook the heavens. The beast, frightened, ran wildly and recklessly. The group pursued it relentlessly, and it seemed they were about to catch up with the beast and capture it alive.

“Boom…Boom…Boom”

Several muffled thuds came rapidly, as if the wild beast had fallen into a large pit and was howling in pain.

Lan Feng and the others rushed over and were immediately dumbfounded by what they saw. The huge pit in front of them was the very place where he had found Lan Tian all those years ago!

Ten years have passed, and the crater remains unchanged. The surrounding area is barren after being burned by fire, and thick fog rises in the valley. Lights, golden and silver, occasionally emanate from the bottom of the crater. Thunder and lightning rage in the sky, deafeningly loud. Unidentified energy fluctuations spread throughout the entire valley, causing it to tremble and shimmer. A powerful pressure is omnipresent, making people afraid to approach.

Without hesitation, Lan Tian jumped down first, brandishing a wooden stick at the beast. Thump, thump, crack, crack—the beast's howl ceased, and it died on the spot. Lan Tian quickly grabbed the beast and threw it up from the bottom of the pit. A delicious meal was in his hands, filling Lan Tian with excitement. Lan Feng watched Lan Tian anxiously, fearing he might be in danger, harmed, or harmed by the strange phenomena of this place. But Lan Tian seemed completely unaffected, unharmed, and even unusually excited. This reassured Lan Feng, who then told everyone to prepare to leave quickly; it was not a safe place to stay.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, dark clouds gathered, demonic energy surged, and lightning crackled through the clouds. A bolt of lightning suddenly split through the clouds...

Lan Feng hurriedly shouted, "Lan Tian, ​​come up quickly, hurry up..."

In the blink of an eye, a powerful, multicolored lightning bolt struck down, crackling as it hit the blue sky.

"Ah,...thump..."

The crater was filled with white light, a vast expanse of white, with multicolored rays of light spreading across the entire valley. Time seemed to stand still. Everything appeared frozen. ...

When Lan Tian woke up again, he found himself lying in his own bed. Startled, he sat up abruptly and carefully checked himself to make sure he was alright. His arms, hands, and feet were all there; he touched his face—it was there too. He felt no discomfort, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. "Click."

The door opened, and the woman walked in with a smile.

"Mom, what's wrong with me?" Lan Tian asked anxiously, desperate to know what had happened to him.

"It's alright, my darling son. It's just that his hair is gone. It will grow back in a few days, so don't worry," the woman said calmly.

Hearing her mother say this, Lantian quickly touched her head. It was completely bald; she hadn't pulled any hair. Apparently, she had been struck by lightning that day, but her body was fine; she was alright, just that her hair had been burned off. She had no hair to pull, and she had been unconscious for two days afterward.

"Thank goodness," Lan Tian muttered to himself. All his limbs were intact, his hair was gone, everything was normal. He had survived a great calamity, and good fortune was sure to follow. He got up and moved around a bit, and Lan Tian immediately felt light as a feather, with inexhaustible strength, a clear mind, and deep insights. It was as if something inside his body had been unlocked.

Since this incident, Lantian would often think of that big pit in the dead of night. His appetite increased and he always felt hungry. His appetite grew larger and larger every day, and he always felt an emptiness inside his body.

Ever since Lan Tian's accident in the Mensomm Mountains, strange and unusual things have been happening in Gantang Village. Every night, the howls of monsters can be heard, and the beasts of the Mensomm Mountains seem to have undergone some kind of mutation, becoming restless and uneasy. The demonic energy in the mountains is also growing heavier, with dark clouds shrouding the area day and night, and lightning flashing, as if some powerful figure is undergoing tribulation in the Mensomm Mountains.

Food in the village is mysteriously disappearing, and people's poultry are vanishing without a trace, as if some strange event is about to occur. There seems to be more and more lightning around Gantang Village, with thunder but no rain, which is very eerie and has caused widespread panic among the villagers.

……

It turns out that all these unusual changes were related to Lantian. Every night when everything was quiet, Lantian couldn't resist his hunger. He had eaten all the food in his own house, but he was still very hungry, so he forced himself to go out and find food. Lantian ate all the food in the whole village.

With the food nearly gone, Lan Tian began slaughtering all the village's poultry for food. However, he couldn't let his family or villagers know this; he always took these poultry deep into the Mossom Mountains to slaughter and roast them. In no time, all the village's poultry became Lan Tian's food.

Lan Tian had no idea why his appetite had suddenly increased so drastically. Could it be that he had been struck by lightning and become like this? Now, Lan Tian was in a daze all day, completely lost and confused. His appetite had increased so much at such a young age that there was nothing left to eat in the village. Moreover, there was always some kind of force calling to him in his mind, making him restless. Every night, he would wander around, and that call would become more intense and make him even more uneasy, making him feel that he absolutely had to go somewhere.
