Vampires in the Blood Groves. The first thought that popped into my head was this.

The people in the village are always bleeding inexplicably. And the blood seems to have been sucked out by something. So far I've known of one thing that likes to suck blood. That's me. And I was "poisoned" by that blood Tai Sui.

What makes the people in the village unable to get out is the blood Tai Sui. These villagers are all puppet treemen controlled by the Blood Tai Sui.

If that's the case, Qiao Wei is in danger.

"We have to go back." If I think about it, I will immediately say to Chang Le.

"Hmm. Let's go." Chang Le nodded in response. Then he turned and ran towards the village.

We went back faster than we did when we came out. While running, I took out my phone to see if there was a signal. It's a pity that the phone still can't receive the slightest signal. I don't have a way to tell Qiao Wei what I found out in time.

But it didn't wait for the three of us to run back to the village. On the mountain road, I saw Qiao Wei running over. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then he hurriedly said: "Qiao Wei. You're all right."

"It's fine. Why did you come back?" Qiao Wei asked.

"We found ......" I just started my words but didn't continue. Because I suddenly thought of the situation where Qiao Wei was controlled in the Blood Forest before. Could this Qiao Wei who appeared in front of us already be a puppet that was controlled?

I quickly stopped. At the same time, he also stopped Chang Le and Ye Chen from letting them get close to Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei seemed taken aback when he saw my reaction. He took a few more steps forward. And I stopped Chang Le and Ye Chen from retreating backwards to widen the distance between me and Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei seems to realize something. He frowned and asked, "Something happened to Ye Chen's people. The people in the village really have a question, right? You suspect that the people in the village are all servants of God."

I nodded at Qiao Wei. Now I need you to do something to prove that you are Qiao Wei. It's not a puppet possessed by something else."

"I understand. Give me the ten-fist sword." Qiao Wei didn't argue anything. Directly propose a solution.

This is indeed a very intuitive and effective way to do this. If Qiao Wei is controlled by other gods. The power of the ten-fist sword will have a repulsive effect on Qiao Wei. If Qiao Wei can successfully hold the Ten Fists Sword. That proves that Qiao Wei is not possessed. After thinking about it, I took a few deep breaths in a row to calm my emotions completely. Then I imagined what the Ten Fists would look like. And the ten-fist sword gradually appeared in my hand.

"And then."

I threw the ten-fist sword at Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei decisively stretched out his right hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword. And swung the ten-fist sword left and right.

"It didn't have any rejection for me. I'm not controlled. You can rest assured." Qiao Weidao.

"Whew~." I exhaled again with a relaxed breath. Then he waved his hand at Qiao Wei and said, "It's okay."

Qiao Wei didn't return the sword to me. Just throw the sword to the ground. The sword vanished as soon as it touched the ground.

Because the Ten Fists Sword was not originally a sword with a physical body. Although it looks very real. It's also really sharp enough to cut tendons and break bones. But it doesn't really exist. Perhaps I can understand it as an illusion created by my mind. A special phantom with a high density of energy that can cut through objects.

Because of this. So Qiao Wei doesn't need to exchange the sword for my hand like he returned the physical thing. He just needs to throw the sword away. The ten-fist sword will disappear with it. This is how he returned the sword to me when I was at Mrs. Chen's house before.

This would have been a very common action. But just on that sword disappeared something. The whole mountain forest suddenly shook violently. Birds on the mountain fly high into the sky from the woods in flocks. At the same time, from the deep mountains in the distance, there was also a dull sound of "coo-dong" and "coo-dong" like a cannon.

This time, Qiao Wei, Chang Le, and Ye Chen all discovered the shaking. They all heard the noise. They first grabbed the tree next to them to maintain some balance. Then they looked together in the direction of the muffled sound. I did the same thing with them.

But we didn't see anything from the sound to that side. Soon. The violent shaking in the mountains also lessened and disappeared.

"Earthquake. Volcano. That's what you said before." Qiao Wei stared at me and said.

"yes. I felt it once when I was in the village. But it wasn't as strong as this time." I said.

"Could it be because of the Ten Fists Sword? You get the sword out again. And then stick it in the ground." Chang Le said to me.

I nodded. Then adjust your breathing again. But when I was concentrating on imagining the shape of the ten-fist sword. I didn't see anything in my hand.

". How?" I scolded to myself.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Wei asked.

"The sword can't be summoned. I'll try again."

After speaking. I took several deep breaths in a row. Wait for the heart to slow down. After my breathing was absolutely even, I simply sat cross-legged on the floor. Then empty your mind and don't think about anything. When I entered a state where my heart was like water. I'm going to slowly come out of this state again. And focus all your attention on imagining the shape of the Ten Fists Sword.

This time I finally had a feeling in my palm. That's the touch of the hilt. But just when I thought the Ten Fist Sword was going to appear again. It was as if a strong suction force had pulled the touch away from my hand at once. It felt like someone had pressed the switch on the toilet. Swept the ten-fist sword out of my hand.

I snapped open my eyes and looked at my right hand. But my hands are still empty.

"Still won't work." Qiao Wei asked.

"Hmm. Something seems to have pulled the sword away. It was destroyed as soon as it was about to take shape." I said.

"I guess it has something to do with the earthquake just now." Qiao Weidao.

"Possibly. There may be something like the Blood Tai Sui buried in this village. When you threw the sword to the ground just now, the ten-fist sword had a rejection reaction with the blood Tai Sui. So now that Blood Tai Sui is starting to interfere with me, I won't let me get the Ten Fist Sword out again." I reasoned.

"You said Blood Tai Sui." Qiao Wei frowned and stared at me.

I nodded. Then I told Qiao Wei about the bloodless corpse I had just seen.

Now Qiao Wei also understands why I asked him to prove his identity just now. And then we seem to be in even more trouble.

We didn't go back to the village. Instead, follow the same path in the direction of the car outside the woods. On the way, we also found the other three bodyguards brought by Ye Chen. All of them all died without exception with their blood drained from their bodies. And we didn't find mineral water around them. It seems that they have been attacked before they even reach the outside of the village.

There was no blood left near the body. The surrounding grass doesn't look like there are any people or animals passing by. If you have to say the suspicion. Then I can only think of the villager who led the way with these people.

Although it has been confirmed that those people are dead. But we carefully examined each and every one of the bodies. To our surprise, the four bodyguards did not have any wounds on their bodies. Even if it's a vampire who attacks them, it's supposed to leave tooth marks or something. But there were no wounds on these four men.

In this way, my previous judgment about the blood Tai Sui is somewhat untenable.

They contracted hemorrhagic fever.

The blood that flowed out was sucked out by the blood Tai Sui who was buried in the ground.

The jumbled thoughts started to keep coming back to me. I didn't chase them away this time. Just let my imagination continue to play. Because this thing is not something that can be answered by conventional reasoning.

After examining the body, the four of us continued to walk outside the village. But we walked for almost an hour and we didn't get out of the woods. We have always walked on the path in the forest. That road can't be called the real road, though. But the apparently trampled ground clearly separates the path from the surrounding forest.

This is the path we took when we entered the mountain. We have been walking along this path since we came out. I remember not seeing any forks in the road we came by. Supposedly, as long as you follow this road, you will definitely be able to get out. But the road seems to be unusually long without us knowing. Let's not get out anyway.

Chang Le at the front gradually began to pick up speed. But after another twenty minutes we still couldn't get out of the woods. The path under your feet continues to stretch deep into the forest. There seems to be no end to it.

"That's what happened in Lost Village." Ye Chen suddenly opened his mouth and broke the silence.

Chang Le, who was walking ahead, also stood his foot. Then he turned around and said, "I don't think we can get out if we continue to walk like this. We're stuck."

"It's a ghost hitting the wall." I asked.

Qiao Wei immediately shook his head and said, "No. I can see if there is a ghost. Not now."

"I guess we passed through the ghost gate by accident. Do you remember the last time we went to the underworld?" I said again.

"Kind of. But it doesn't seem to be. The underworld doesn't have such bright colors." Qiao Weidao.

I'm right when I think about it. The last time I entered the underworld, all I saw was gray. And now it's green everywhere. Occasionally, you can see flowers of various colors on the ground. This is obviously not what the underworld should be.

"What now. Go back." I said.

"I had to go back. If I could go back." Chang Le Dao.

Changle is not pessimistic. If this road really exists quirky at all. There's a real chance we'll be trapped on this road forever and end up starving here. But it didn't turn out as bad as I thought. We walked back in less than ten minutes before we saw the entrance to the valley. And the strange thing is that when we went back, we didn't see the bodies of Ye Chen's four bodyguards on the road.

The four of us stopped at the place where we were standing at the downhill junction leading to the village. In front of us is still that peaceful little village. The buildings in the village are still arranged in a haphazard manner. A few thin, pale villagers can occasionally be seen on the hillside.

We're finally back. And I can only come back here.
