And the volume was very huge, some like one hundred thousand of these 400 request per second. And I'm pretty sure there are no errors on my site in that period of time.(No error report and I didn't change the source code)

Check and see if the ip address causing the 400 is using Google Chrome. Chrome uses pre-connection to establish several connection with server, and close them if not used.

Since no request is made in the connection, nginx will record this error.

Someone was Fuzzing your server. Also see Wikipedia.

Basically involves sending rapid blocks of invalid data to see if anything breaks.

Nginx is set to return a 400 error error when no request data is sent.

Don't worry about it. Nginx can just keep on bouncing them forever without breaking a sweat.
