At the end of the horizon, the sun came down again, and the sun rose again.

The fog in the Lost Forest began to recede rapidly, and by the time the sunlight penetrated the dense forest, the fog had already cleared away, and there was no fog at all.

On a stout tree, Xiao Ba unwrapped the black line, revealing the figures of the three people, You Zifang and Xiao Yu'er had just woken up at the moment, and they were still in a state of confusion, Xiao Hachi was extremely awake, everything he perceived last night was vivid, the thin vampire monster, I don't know where it came from.

Seeing that You Zifang and the others woke up, Xiao Ba took out some food for them with a package, and said about last night's incident, in order to be afraid that Xiao Yu'er would be afraid, he deliberately used delicious food to attract Xiao Yu'er's attention and let her eat by herself.

Xiao Hachi briefly talked to You Zifang about last night's situation alone, focusing on the shriveled figure who could suck blood last night.

"Vampire? Emaciated? After listening to these descriptions, Youzifang's face fell into deep thought, and after a while

"I seem to have seen it in some ancient book"

"I remember, it's a sacrificial method!" You Zifang slapped his head, obviously he remembered the information about this.

"What sacrificial method? Is it another alternative cultivation method?" Xiao Hachi asked puzzledly, to be honest, he didn't know much about many things.

"You definitely don't know, according to what you said, you can suck blood, and your whole body is as thin as firewood, this is a typical kind of sacrificial method," You Zifang was a little proud.

"The book says that some people accidentally got the portrait of the ancient murderous general, and they hung the portrait of the murderous thing at home, and worshiped it every day, as if it was after worshipping for 49 days," the wanderer Fang talked eloquently

"They would cut open their two wrists, their ankles, their neck, the tip of their tongue, and the top of their heads, and they would bleed in seven places at the same time, and they would kneel in front of the portrait until they bled to death."

"After dying like this, the bleeding will not stop, but will continue to drain the last drop of blood in the body, and at that time, their corpses will be shriveled and only skin and bones remain," You Zifang said, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps on his body.

"But these believers, even if they sacrifice themselves in this way, they may not necessarily get a response from the murderous object in the portrait, that is, they die in vain" You Zifang stuck out his tongue, thinking that these people were really stupid.

"And what does it look like to get a response from the murderous creatures?" Hachi asked with a frown.

"If they get a response from the murderous creatures, their shriveled corpses will come back to life in seven days, but this kind of work is completely different from that of the living."

"They no longer need to eat and drink like normal people, they only need to suck blood to make their shriveled bodies recover, but this is a time limit, and every once in a while, the blood they suck seems to be drained again and turn into shriveled corpses again," the wanderer described vividly.

"Shriveled corpses again? Isn't it already alive," Hachi looked puzzled.

"It's not that they have to sacrifice to the murderous thing in the portrait again, every once in a while, the murderous thing will drain the blood from their bodies, and they can only turn back into dead corpses, and wake up again after seven days, and the cycle repeats," the wanderer explained.

"And what's this thing called? What kind of strength can you achieve?" Hachi continued.

"The one who got the response from the portrait is called a living puppet, it seems that once he becomes a living puppet, he has the strength to surpass the nine veins of martial arts in the general cultivation method, which is comparable to the first order of the transformation realm" You Zifang said thoughtfully, he actually recalled it from memory, and he couldn't remember exactly what was written in the book.

"Living puppets.." Xiao Hachi silently read the name and fell into thought, in fact, the gray-robed old man he met on Xiaoshi Mountain used a strange method to summon the mess of meat, and he also wanted to tell You Zifang and ask him what he knew, but he didn't know why he didn't want to say it, maybe because he didn't know what happened after he fell into a coma.

"Hey, hey, you're stupid?" You Zifang waved his hand and dangled it in front of Hachi's eyes.

"How?" Hachi recovered from his thoughts.

"The living golem you're talking about is still in this Lost Forest, right?" You Zifang seemed to have thought of something, and his face flickered.

"Then we don't run quickly, what if we bump into us" You Zifang looked worried, and as he said, he was about to pack up his things and run away.

"We wouldn't have stayed here for long" Hachi also nodded, not that he was afraid of this puppet, but he didn't want to get into trouble, and besides, he had to take care of Xiao Yu'er's safety, and it was best to avoid it.

It happened that Xiao Yu'er also ate the food in his hand cleanly, and was reminiscing about the deliciousness, Xiao Ba came over and picked up Xiao Yu'er and carried it on his back, and the wanderer also packed up his things, Xiao Yu'er didn't react, and the two of them jumped off the tree one after the other and continued to set off.

The sound of sighing came in the Lost Forest, two figures quickly shuttled through the dense forest, a girl on her back kept jumping up and down with her legs and feet, and a pair of legs emitted a faint glimmer on the road to run wildly, it was Xiao Ba and his party, at this moment they were not like the slow and leisurely hurry before, but full speed forward and quickly through the Lost Forest.

An hour or two passed, and the light at the end of the dense forest shimmered, and it passed through with a roar.

The scenery in front of me suddenly opened up, and there was a river meandering on the flat ground, with three or two boats on the river, the terrain was flat, and some houses and cooking smoke could be faintly seen at the end of the river.

"The front should be the so-called Qucheng," Hachi said in a good mood, taking the lead and continuing along the river.

The river winds and turns, the width is about ten zhang, not very large, but not small, some of the boats on the river catch fish, some transport goods.

Along the river has been advancing, there are more and more house buildings, the building style of the houses is similar to that of Xiaoshi Town, gray and black tiles, but the shape of the top is different, the buildings in the city are all built along the river, the river flows straight into the city, and a three-story gatehouse is built on the river, and the gatehouse is engraved with two big characters - Qucheng.

"Wow!" The little fisherman's eyes flickered as he looked at the small city built along the river in front of him, and let out an exclamation sound.

"This canal city is a bit interesting" You Zifang also had a novel face, and when he came to Nanyi, every place he went to was fresh.

Xiaoba and others entered the canal city along the river, the main road in the canal city turned out to be the river of about ten zhang, the people on both sides of the interaction is to walk the bridge or row a small bamboo valve to pass, many people by the river are washing vegetables and drawing water, etc., at a glance on the river a lot of bridges have been built with various materials of various sizes, and there are really a lot of pedestrians on both sides.

This river also diverts many tributaries in the Qucheng, resulting in various paths in the Qucheng City are composed of small tributaries, some are only two or three zhang wide, and some are even less than one zhang wide.

Youzifang and Xiaoyuer were both looking around with a new look on their faces, and suddenly Youzifang seemed to see something, pointing to a house by a tributary and shouting.

"Nostalgia! Nostalgia Restaurant"
