After identifying their identities, Qin Feng's four were treated as guest of honor, and everyone in the city lord's mansion respected them.
The city lord himself completely trusted them, and used the little silver coins left to make a table for everyone, which is not a rich "dinner", and it was a cleansing of the wind.
After the satiated food and drink, the matter came to the fore.
"Look, everyone, here are all the information about the cannibal case."
The city lord took out a thick pile of books from the study.
"so much?"
Lei Yiming was slightly startled, surprised.
The cannibal case has only occurred for a few months, so logically speaking, shouldn't there be so much information
"You don't know, in fact, there have been more than one or two cannibalism cases in Yuzhou. A similar case occurred five years ago, but it has not been detected, so it has become an unsolved case."
The city lord sighed bitterly.
"Oh? So, Emperor Xuanzong didn't know about it five years ago?"
Lu Fan asked.
"The case five years ago did not have much impact, so it did not attract attention from the outside world."
The city lord smiled helplessly, and immediately, his face turned dignified.
"However, this time is different. Since half a year ago, people have been missing one after another. To this day, the number of missing persons in Yuzhou City has reached 188."
"so much?"
Everyone was surprised.
Before they set off from Emperor Xuanzong, the information they obtained showed that there were less than 100 missing persons in Yuzhou.
But in just half a month, this number has almost doubled.
"It seems that their blood sacrifices to the dead are getting more and more frequent. I wonder if there is any conspiracy?"
Jiang Mofeng groaned.
"What? Blood sacrifice to the dead man?"
The city lord looked shocked.
"Yes, we suspect that this cannibal case was caused by the blood sacrifice to the dead. The missing persons in Yuzhou should have been arrested and refined into the dead."
Qin Feng nodded, speaking bluntly.
"It's no wonder."
Hearing this, the city lord seemed to be conscious.
"Everyone, wait a minute, let me get another volume of information."
After a while, the city lord took out another scroll.
The scroll was rolled out, and on it was a map.
In the center of the map, a big river is depicted. This big river twists and turns, resembling a baby curled up in the placenta, very weird.
The map is specially colored, the wilderness and mountains are depicted in black ink, and the big river is outlined in blood.
"Is this river famous? Why is it red?"
Everyone is curious.
"This river is named'Blood Baby River'. Five years ago, it appeared out of thin air outside the city of Yuzhou overnight."
Talking about this river, the city lord shuddered.
"Blood Baby River?"
"Appeared out of thin air overnight?"
The four exchanged glances, and soon they came to the same idea.

"If I guess right, this river of blood babies is most likely the trace left by the blood sacrifice to the dead."
Jiang Mofeng said confidently.
The first step in the blood sacrifice to the dead is to shed the blood in the living person into a corpse.
Only in this way can it be immortal and unknowingly painful.
If it were not for a large number of blood sacrifices to the dead, how could this blood baby river appear out of thin air
"Where is the Blood Baby River?"
Qin Feng asked again.
"Everyone, are you going to the Blood Baby River?"
The city lord looked terrified.
"What's wrong? Can't go?"
Lei Yiming spoke.
"It's not. It's just that the Blood Baby River is very dangerous. Someone has seen Hyakki Yexing. Five years ago, it was set as a forbidden area."
Santo explained.
"Hundred Ghosts Yexing? It looks correct, this blood baby river is the place we are looking for."
Qin Feng glanced at everyone.
"Early tomorrow morning, we will go to the Blood Baby River to have a look."
Lu Fan suggested.
"This... I'm afraid it won't work." The city lord suddenly interjected, "The Blood Baby River is so weird that you can't see it during the day, but only appear at night."
"Oh? Is there such a strange thing?"
Jiang Mofeng was taken aback.
Among these people, Jiang Mofeng had the most knowledge, but even so, he felt incredible.
The world is so big, there are no wonders, but such weird things are indeed unheard of.
Even Qin Feng had never heard of it.
Qin Feng was silent for a moment, and then suddenly preached: "In my opinion, this bloody river is not necessarily a river."
"It's not a river, what is it then?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"I don't know yet. It just happens to be dark now. Instead of suspicion here, we should go to the scene and have a look."
Qin Feng said again.
"Okay, let's go now."
Lei Yiming nodded immediately.
The others didn't have any opinions, and they couldn't sleep at night if they didn't figure out this suspicious point.
"Guardian Jiang, quickly mobilize the troops and set off for the Bloody Baby River."
The city lord also began to take action.
"I don't think it's necessary, because too many people will delay things, just a few of us."
Qin Feng smiled faintly.
Hearing this, the city lord was taken aback, and then he patted his forehead, "Look at my brain, with the cultivation bases of several emperor Xuanzong eminent disciples, how can we laymen be used?"
After dispelling his thoughts, the city lord led Qin Feng and the four of them to the Bloody Infant River quietly.
…
At midnight, a half moon hangs on the horizon.
The moonlight fell on the wasteland, especially cold.
In the thick white fog, occasionally a few crows whispered quietly, making it creepy.
After pushing aside the grass, a big blood river appeared in front of everyone.
As depicted on the map, this big river twists incomparably, shaped like a bloody baby in the placenta.
At this moment, the Bloody Baby River was as calm as a mirror, and there were fallen leaves floating on the water without any fluctuations.
"This is the Blood Baby River?"
Lu Fan whispered.
"Yes."
The lord nodded and answered.
"This shouldn't be a river, but the blood spit out by the King Corpse."
Qin Feng's eyes flickered, and he could see through the secret at a glance.
"The blood vomited by the King Corpse?"
Everyone was surprised.
"It is recorded in ancient books that the corpse king has a cultivation method called'blood-transforming Dafa'. At night, the blood in the body is spit out to absorb the yin qi, and in the daytime, the blood is swallowed back and the yin qi is absorbed."
"Because of this special cultivation method, weird scenes that can't be seen in the Blood Baby River during the day but can only be seen at night."
Qin Feng groaned, his face a little dignified.
If the corpse king is really messing up, things will be difficult to handle.
Generally speaking, it is impossible to cultivate into a corpse king without a thousand years of Taoism.
However, the cultivation base of the corpse king is often equivalent to the human race powerhouse with the fourth or fifth level of true energy. With Qin Feng's current strength, there is almost no resistance.
Qin Feng's four people were just cultivating real energy, even if they joined hands, it was impossible to cope with the Thousand-Year Corpse King.
"Scorpion King? Junior Brother Qin, are you sure?"
Jiang Mofeng's face turned pale.
"I can conclude that there should be a huge corpse cave under the Blood Baby River. Hundred Ghosts and the Blood Sacrifice to the dead should all find answers in the corpse cave.
Qin Feng squinted and stared at the bloody river.
