My seniority is extraordinary: I was only eight years old when the whole village came to wish me a H

Beneath that beam of bright light, an enormous and terrifying figure appeared in everyone's sight!

It was a terrifying monster they had never seen before!

It is over ten meters long and nearly three meters high, resembling a moving small mountain.

Its head resembles a lion, but it also has a pair of sharp, curved horns.

Its eyes were larger than copper bells, gleaming with a bloodthirsty crimson light in the darkness.

Its mouth was open, revealing sharp, serrated fangs inside.

Its body is covered with a thick, bluish-black, scale-like carapace.

Its limbs are thick and powerful, and its claws are like steel hooks, gleaming with a chilling light.

A fierce and violent aura, seemingly from the ancient primordial era, emanated from it in an overwhelming manner!

"roar--!"

A roar filled with endless violence and ferocity suddenly burst from its mouth!

The sound was so real! So powerful!

It's as if a monster from mythology has truly crossed the barriers of time and space to descend upon this world!

"Holy shit!"

"What...what is this?!"

"Nian... Nian beast?! This is a damn Nian beast!"

"My god! This is so realistic! Is this special effects? What kind of movie-level special effects are these?!"

The hundreds of millions of viewers in the live stream went crazy when they saw the lifelike and terrifying "Nian Beast"!

They felt their scalps tingling!

They never imagined that the monster that only existed in myths would appear in front of them in such a visually stunning way!

In the control room, Su Qinghuan looked at the giant Nian beast roaring to the sky on the screen, and her heart was filled with a sense of awe and wonder.

She knew that the "surprise" planned by them and Wu Jingzhi and other residents of Wujia Village had been a success!

They didn't actually go and capture a monster.

This "Nian Beast" is actually a huge mechanical prop controlled by more than a dozen of the top lion dance performers in Wujia Village.

This prop was created by the engineering and technical team of Wujia Village within a few hours after receiving Su Qinghuan's idea.

Its interior employs state-of-the-art biomimetic mechanical structures and holographic projection technology.

That's why they can make such realistic movements and expressions.

Even the deafening roar was simulated by top-of-the-line audio equipment hidden inside its body.

"Dear viewers, you... you didn't see it wrong."

Su Qinghuan's voice rang out at just the right moment, carrying a perfectly measured mix of shock and excitement.

"This is the most ferocious monster in our Chinese legends—Nian."

"Legend has it that it will descend to earth on New Year's Eve every year."

"And that's where our story officially begins."

As Su Qinghuan finished speaking.

Suddenly, dozens of dim, swaying lights illuminated the area around the square.

Under the lights, a group of "ancient villagers" appeared, dressed in coarse linen clothes and with terrified expressions painted on their faces.

They were villagers from Wujia Village, and they played the roles spontaneously.

Upon seeing the enormous Nian beast, they immediately let out terrified screams and scattered in all directions.

"The Nian monster is coming! The Nian monster is coming! Everyone run!"

"Help! Help!"

The "Nian Beast" then took heavy steps and rampaged across the square.

It sometimes opens its blood-red mouth as if to swallow something.

At times, it would swing its sharp claws and smash some pre-prepared wooden house models to pieces.

The whole scene was chaotic yet full of dramatic tension.

The viewers in the live stream were completely engrossed, as if they had truly traveled back to that ancient mythological era filled with danger and the unknown.

"This is incredible! The acting! The scenes! The props! It blows all other domestic period dramas out of the water!"

"I feel like I'm not watching a New Year's Eve gala, but a world-class stage play!"

"This is true cultural export! It's much more interesting than those empty preachings!"

Just then, the rampaging Nian beast suddenly stopped.

Its scarlet eyes were fixed intently in one direction.

All the beams of light converged in that direction.

On the edge of the square, on that grand chair.

A small figure wearing a black down cloak was sitting there quietly.

It was Wu You.

In the darkness, his delicate little face appeared somewhat blurry against the backdrop of all the surrounding light.

But those dark eyes shone as brightly as the most dazzling stars in the night sky.

He just stared silently at the ferocious and enormous Nian beast.

One big, one small.

One in motion, one still.

One is fierce, the other is calm.

At this moment, the two figures formed an eerie confrontation full of extreme contradiction and dramatic tension!

In the live stream, every viewer's heart jumped into their throat!

"Holy crap! What's going on? The Nian monster has spotted Young Master?"

"Young master, you're in danger! Run!"

"Holy crap, this is definitely something from the Three Kingdoms Kill game! I'm going to give it a six-star review right now!"

"Run my ass! Have you forgotten who this young master is? A mere Nian beast is nothing in front of him!"

"I bet a bag of spicy strips! Young Master is about to make his move!"
