Chapter 32: Maple Town

Song Yifei and the three of them bypassed Cangwu County, and drove forward for dozens of miles to a place with a famous place in Maple Town.

Maple Town is just a small town, with a small area and an estimated population of thousands.

The town is surrounded by tall maple trees, and as summer approaches, most of the maple leaves have been pulled out, and they look lush and full of life.

If it weren't for the fact that the maple trees at the entrance of the town were deliberately cut down, and if they were a little farther away, the view would be blocked by green leaves, and it would be impossible to see that there was still a town here.

"Let's rest here!"

Song Yifei looked at the sky, although it was still bright, it was not far from getting dark.

If they missed the stay, it was really not worth it, and they were not in a hurry anyway.

There are no traditional hotels in Maple Town, more of a converted courtyard house rented to temporary residents.

After the three of them led the horses into the town, they found that this town, hidden in the maple trees, was actually quite lively.

Horse-drawn carriages came and went, pulling clay pots filled with liquid, and the air was filled with a faint sweet smell.

"Brother, what's in the carriage? Why is it so sweet!"

Song Yifei smiled and asked a driver who was loading the car.

The coachman was a tall, lanky man, shirtless and sturdy.

Hearing Song Yifei's inquiry, the coachman stopped what he was doing and looked back at them.

"Childe is a foreigner, right?"

"This is your first time in your land!"

"No wonder!"

The coachman's dark and thin face showed an unexpected, and then explained: "These jars are filled with the sap collected from the maple trees, ready to be pulled to a nearby city to boil maple sugar!"

"Tree sap can also be used as sugar?"

Ah Niu looked shocked.

"It's our specialty here, I don't know anywhere else!"

The coachman smiled and went on with his business, and now summer was approaching, and it was the peak of the maple sap, and it was also the busiest time for him.

After finding a hotel to live in, the three men settled their horses and went out to find a place to eat.

Because it is a production area of maple sugar, almost every household here has a small stall at the door, on which home-made maple sugar is placed.

In order to distinguish it from others, many people will add some unique ingredients to their maple sugar.

For example, chrysanthemums, pine cones, dried beans, red dates......

Song Yifei bought several along the road, but none of them were duplicated.

"Big brother! This sugar is bitter after eating too much! It's not as delicious as our Wudang cane sugar!"

Ma Zhao ate a few pieces of maple candy and felt crooked, so he handed it to Ah Niu.

Ah Niu did not refuse to come, and he was very happy to eat.

"Although cane sugar is delicious, it can't be shipped here! It's saying that this kind of thing is easy to grow and harvest, and it's cheaper than sugar cane! For ordinary people, it's good to be able to eat sweet, so much care!"

Song Yifei thinks that maple syrup is good, although it is bitter after eating too much, it has a long-lasting fragrance, which is a bit similar to mints.

What Song Yifei didn't expect was that there was a unique maple syrup drink for sale here.

Drill a small hole in a bamboo tube, pour boiling maple syrup juice into it, and plug it with a wooden stopper. When drinking, just uncork it.

There are quite a few children as young as five or six years old, carrying baskets on the side of the road, selling this unique drink to passers-by.

When the three of them found the restaurant and the dishes were ready, they found that most of the dishes were also filled with maple sugar, and Ma Zhao had to sigh that they had fallen into the sugar nest.

When night fell, the moonlight was like water, and Song Yifei, who couldn't sleep a little, practiced the seven-star swordsmanship over and over again in the courtyard.

The last time the Starry Night had an epiphany, which made him perfect in swordsmanship, he wanted to see if there was still a chance to go further.

Song Yifei felt that this kind of epiphany-type adventure was likely to be related to the environment.

The light skill he cultivated was a medium-level martial art cloud wandering step, so Song Yifei often considered whether to go to a place with clouds to cultivate for a period of time.

Due to the relationship between Lan Yu's blessing and cultivation, at most, in ten days and half a month, his light skills can enter Dacheng.

When the martial arts reach Dacheng, I want to improve, but it is difficult to wait for the sky. When ordinary people reach this level, they usually change to stronger martial arts.

But Song Yifei has a better choice, that is, to reach the level of supernatural through epiphany.

The Extreme Star Technique that he had realized from the Seven Star Sword Technique was even more powerful than the top-grade Sword Technique that had been cultivated to Dacheng.

Obviously, there will be a qualitative change in the level of a certain martial arts cultivation.

Through the environmental impact system, this is just Song Yifei's personal speculation, and he can't be completely sure. I can only say that if I have the chance, I will give it a try.

After settling down, he found more martial arts to cultivate. Maybe one day, the blind cat will meet the dead mouse and have an epiphany.

There are no stars in the night, the waning moon hangs high, and the thick clouds move slowly on the horizon, covering the sky.

"It's going to rain in the middle of the night, so let's go back to the house and rest!"

After practicing swordsmanship for a while, Song Yifei, who sensed that it was going to rain, prepared to go back to the house to rest.

[The night is boundless, the lights are lit, you are about to go back to your room to rest, you faintly smell a smell of blood, and you are ready to find out what is going on in your heart......]

The voice in his head made Song Yifei stunned on the spot, he didn't expect that a system prompt would appear at this time.

"This narration reminds that it is a little different from the past, and it is dangerous to do it!"

Although he felt that he was in danger, Song Yifei, who had gained great benefits from three adventures, was reluctant to give up.

Song Yifei moved his internal strength to the nasal cavity to strengthen his sense of smell.

After a moment, he really smelled a hint of rust in the sweet scented air.

When human blood meets the air, it emits the smell of rust, and there is no doubt that this smell is the smell of blood.

Because the taste is too light, and it is wafting from a distance, if it is not for Song Yifei's intention to catch it, I am afraid it will be difficult to find this abnormality.

After determining the direction of the blood, he rolled over and jumped out of the wall, carefully sneaking through the darkness, rushing in the direction where the smell was strongest.

The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and the moonlight, which was already dim, has been completely obscured by dark clouds at this time.

Song Yifei used his internal strength to his eyes, so that he could barely see the road clearly, so as not to wake up the nearby residents.

The gore in the air grew thicker and thicker, accompanied by a sweet, greasy smell of maple syrup.

"This feels like someone deliberately used the sweet smell of maple syrup to mask the smell of blood!"

If you don't have a heart to tell, it's easy to be misled by the strong sweetness.

Near the entrance to the town, the goods distribution square, which should have been brightly lit, was now lit with little fire.

A dark red sedan chair was quietly placed in the center of the square.

Four mysterious people with thin bodies and wide blood robes stood quietly in the four sides of the red sedan chair, motionless, like four pillars.

Six mysterious people dressed in blood-colored suits, also with thin bodies, held torches, forming a semicircle, surrounding the sedan chair.

"Just looking at the battle, it's not an ordinary person!"

Song Yifei, who was quietly lurking around the square, looked at the group of blood-clothed people in the center, and couldn't help but retreat in his heart.

Not sleeping in the middle of the night, holding torches, wearing red clothes to wave here, is definitely not a decent style. Linked to the smell of blood in the air, Song Yifei was 100% sure that this was a group of demonic demons.

"Cangwu City not far away is capturing the Demon Dao, and the Demon Dao suddenly appears here, will there be a connection between the two?" Song Yifei thought secretly.

Because the two places are so close together, it is easy to think of them together.

What makes Song Yifei entangled and unwilling to leave is, why does the system give an adventure reminder?

According to the rules of playing games in his previous life, as long as there is a hint, he should have 100% adventures.

Is there a failure in the system, and I need to fight for it myself?

Let's take a look!

Song Yifei, who was unwilling, hid in the dark, quietly observing the form of the field, wanting to see if there would be any changes.

After about half an hour, dozens of black shadows returned from all directions, kneeling on one knee in front of the blood-colored sedan chair.

The sudden return of the black shadow startled Song Yifei, when he came over just now, he didn't know that there were other people around.

Fortunately, he has always been cautious, whether it is when he comes here or when he is lurking here, he hides himself very well, and the sky is abnormally dark, so he does not have bad luck.

The surrounding townsfolk and passers-by have been cleared, and the traps have been arranged!"

"Okay! This time, I'm going to prepare a big gift for the people of the six doors!
