Chapter 99

Oliver was in a daze. What had just happened?

The Nocturna Herons had gone crazy and started attacking each other en masse. It was unmistakably bizarre!

When the firewood at the entrance was brushed aside to create a gap, it posed a great danger. But now, there wasn’t a single Nocturna Heron flying over.

The ground outside was strewn with the bodies of Nocturna Herons. The dead birds lay without twitching, while the debilitated ones still crawled up to attempt to assassinate each other. They only rested when they were truly dead.

Oliver shuddered with fear at the sight, and Wayne and Simon beside him were also stunned. They couldn’t figure out why the Nocturna Heron suddenly attacked one another.

No one moved to cut more firewood to cover up the gap in the kindling. The remains of the Nocturna Herons lying outside seemed to make the rest of the world disappear without a sound.

The other people hiding in the cave ran to the entrance in surprise to see what the commotion was. The danger had passed, but they didn’t know what had just occurred.

Only Oliver had an inkling of the matter at hand. He lowered his gaze and glanced at the Eye Sculpture in his hand. It was probably this that caused the Nocturna Heron to start mauling each other!

The Eye Sculpture had some inexplicable power that he couldn’t puzzle out.

Oliver stared at the Eye Sculpture for a while and pulled out an identification message he had saved. He had read it before, but when he studied the end again, he realized he didn’t seem to remember one point. The material of the Eye Sculpture contained otherworldly meteorites, and animals would have strange hallucinations when they made eye contact with the Eye Sculpture.

Oliver’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He thought, “Damn! So that’s why the Nocturna Herons assaulted each other!”

Looking at the Eye Sculpture, animals would see strange hallucinations. No wonder they beat each other to death.

Wayne poked his head out of the cave and looked outside. It was very dark at night, and the fire at the entrance illuminated the ground outside the cave, which was covered with Nocturna Heron corpses.
