To the north of the city of Marshland is a small village, a valley surrounded by mountains.

Pomegranate Valley is the name of this valley hidden in the mountains, and that small village is also named Pomegranate Village after the name of Pomegranate Valley.

Because the valley is full of pomegranate fruits, the name of the valley and the village is so simple.

There is a pomegranate river in the pomegranate valley, probably because it is full of pomegranate fruits, and the water of the pomegranate river is still a little sweet to drink.

Because the villagers of Pomegranate Village have lived here for generations, and there is no electricity or water here, the general living is solved by the Pomegranate River.

Pomegranate Village is located in the lower reaches of the Pomegranate River, which has accumulated over the years, and the lower reaches of the Pomegranate River have long become turbid, and are no longer as clear as before.

As a result, the villagers of Pomegranate Village usually have to go to the middle or upstream to fetch water.

Recently, however, a strange thing happened, the water in the lower reaches of the Pomegranate River has become crystal clear again, and all the original muddy stains have disappeared.

The villagers were amazed by this, believing that it was the appearance of the legendary gods who had helped them purify the water source, and that it was proof that the gods had given them another chance.

These probabilities were first learned from Gragio, and the details were learned from the owner of the Kishiken Pavilion, in exchange for a bounty from Oda Kirifuyama.

The owner of the Jixian Pavilion was born in this pomegranate village that even the map has forgotten about it.,Back then, he only took a Ubo out of the mountain.,Worked hard to make a career.。

This incident happened recently, and because he was worried that the reporting alliance would disturb the peaceful and peaceful life of his hometown, Ji Xian chose to hide it.

However, when faced with the coercion and temptation of the ink mark, that is, the bounty of reporting the situation to the alliance and Oda Kiri Fukuyama, the owner of the Kishiken Pavilion chose to compromise.

He told Moji the details of the matter, as well as the specific coordinates of Pomegranate Village.

Holding the illustrated book in his hand, walking on the mountain road that had just rained lightly and was still a little muddy, Ink Marks couldn't help but take a lot of interest in the intelligence system of the Aether Foundation.

Something that even the Sinnoh Alliance didn't notice actually made him, a guy far away in the Alola region, aware of it.

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that the Sinnoh League is not focused on this, and the Gragio guy is dedicated to finding the remaining storage disks.

In the three months since he left the Alola region, Inkmark has found the storage disks of the three attributes of poison, insects, and goblins, and Gragio suspects that the reason why the water in Pomegranate Village has become clear has something to do with the storage disks of the water system.

Originally, the city of Marshland was not part of Inkmark's travel route, and it was for this reason that the route was changed temporarily, and even the reason why I was willing to wait for so many days in Shitsuhara City.

Otherwise, with the character of the ink mark, I would never have waited so long, and I am afraid that when I hear the news of the closure of the Shitsuhara Gym on the first day, I will leave the Shihara City directly.

Directly released the cane-tailed dragon and followed him, and the momentum of the quasi-heavenly king was released, so that some wild elves in the mountains and forests were all honest, and they followed the instructions of the illustrated map all the way to a small village like a paradise.

Just as he was about to walk towards Pomegranate Village with the cane-tailed dragon, suddenly the footsteps of one person and one pet stopped at the same time, and when they looked at each other, they could see the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Although the whole village looks peaceful and peaceful, there are even many cherry blossom trees in full bloom, which looks beautiful and dreamy, just like a fairyland in a painting.

However, no matter how dreamy and beautiful the appearance is, it can't hide the smell of blood in the air!

After the rain, the earth mixed with the grass, and the fragrance of pomegranate fruit, but there was a smell of blood that could not be concealed.

This made Ink Mark instantly vigilant, and carefully observed the village, although it was beautiful, but there were no people, it was noon, and it should be the time to cook and cook.

But now there is not a single person outside in the village, not even a single house, and there is not even a single house with smoke rising from the chimney.

From a distance, Liao is uninhabited.

This has to be said to be a strange thing, and it is even more terrifying when combined with the smell of blood in the air.

It wasn't the so-called gods who purified the Pomegranate River, but demons?

Maybe it's because the artist is bold, but the ink marks still decide to go and check it out, and they can't come here with all the hard work, but they are scared off by a burst of blood, and they don't do anything, right?

The muscles of the canetail dragon tensed all over his body, and his fists were clenched, keeping an eye on every move around him, and he followed closely to the ink marks.

Inkmark and the cane-tailed dragon walked slowly to a house at the head of the village, which was very old and dilapidated, and it was still the same wooden-door bungalow as it was decades ago.

Ink Marks reached out and gently pushed the wooden door, which was unlocked, and with a "creak", the wooden door parted to both sides with a crumbling sound.

"Ahem—"

A burst of dust hit his face, making Ink Marks cough twice and wave his hand to disperse the dust in front of him.

Standing at the door and looking around, he turned his head and saw that the cane-tailed dragon did not react, and the ink mark stepped lightly and collapsed in.

Entering through the gate is a courtyard, on one side of which is planted with flowers and plants, and on the other side is planted some common vegetables such as greens, onions and garlic.

There is even a maple tree standing in the middle of the yard, which looks cosy and beautiful.

However, the ink marks always feel that under this comfortable beauty, there is an indescribable disobedience.

Inkmark judged the structure of the house, and then walked towards the main hall, and was about to push the door open, when the canetail dragon suddenly reached out and stopped him.

Then I saw the cane-tailed dragon take a step forward and come to the door, and carefully pushed it open.

As the wooden door was slowly opened by the cane-tailed dragon, the pupils of the ink mark shrank slightly.

An incomparably strong smell of blood mixed with a rotten stench instantly entered the nose of the ink mark, and immediately, a tragic picture appeared in front of the ink mark and the cane-tailed dragon.

There were four people in the main hall, a middle-aged man and a woman, an old man, and a child of six or seven years old.

It's just that they're all dead!

The methods were very cruel, all of them were cut off by the waist, the intestines and internal organs were scattered all over the ground, the eyes were blank, and the blood that flowed on the ground had already coagulated and blackened.

A boxy table with blood-stained meals on it.

Apparently they were preparing to eat at the time, and it happened so suddenly, that they probably didn't even realize it was happening until they died.

Inkmark and the Canetail Dragon silently exited the house, and without saying a word, continued to look at the next house, and the result was the same.

The difference, however, is that more of the houses are left with stumps and severed arms, and fewer intact corpses.

When Moji checked seven or eight households in a row, and the results of the inspection were that all the residents died tragically, none of them were alive, and most of the corpses disappeared, he did not continue.

Because there is no point at all.

Just as Ink Marks was withdrawing from the eighth house, he suddenly heard a sound from the mountains and forests not far away.
