So while the puppets coveted the vampires' bodies, they certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
But with such a tempting target right in front of them, those guys certainly won't let it go so easily. So, if it were you, what's the most direct method you could think of?!
Suddenly, the King of Hell spoke up, causing the expressions of the people present to change drastically.
"The Embrace!"
New vampires who have just successfully completed the Embrace are, from a human perspective, like newborn infants. Naturally, this is the time when their souls are most chaotic and weak after they have transformed from humans into vampires.
If the puppets schedule their possession at this time, the success rate will naturally increase significantly!
"The vampire's Embrace Ceremony is on the 6th of next month!"
Reynolds gritted his teeth, realizing that the crisis was indeed imminent.
"This matter is of utmost importance. I must go now. No matter what, I must return to discuss this with the Holy See and the vampires. Even if we cannot postpone the Embrace ceremony, we should at least thoroughly investigate the list of human members who will undergo the Embrace this time!"
Because of the vampires' strong sense of ritual, every Embrace ceremony is now held at Dracula's Castle in the Misty Kingdom.
So if Reynolds goes back now, there will still be room for discussion.
Hu Yue did not stop him from persisting, and Emperor Yan even thoughtfully arranged a private plane for him to return to the Smog Country quickly.
After settling Reynolds in, Song Mengmeng and the others did not rush to leave Yunya County.
After all, the elder who had been mentioned by the puppet had not yet shown himself.
Emperor Yan has already set up layers of barriers inside and outside Yunya County, so any unusual activity will absolutely not escape his detection.
However, neither Song Mengmeng nor Yan Di felt that they could stay here for long.
So, in the end, it was Song Mengmeng who gave Hu Yue a suggestion.
Regardless of whether that altar exists or not, it is extremely important to those puppets. If it were announced now that the altar would be sealed off and destroyed, the elder who received the news might react in some way.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yue immediately gave Song Mengmeng a thumbs up. Without saying a word, she quickly went out to make arrangements, and the next day, the news interview announcement exploded on the internet.
The main issue is that the deaths of those three people were too sudden, so the official response is that they died from oxygen deprivation and suffocation. As for why they entered the depths of the altar at that time, it was entirely due to their fervent worship of the legendary witch god.
After all, there are indeed clues to this kind of thing.
For example, one of the men had failed in his business and was now heavily in debt; another man was ill and in dire straits; and the young woman wanted a child.
Since everyone has something to ask for, sneaking into the altar at night to ask the witch god or something is not a big deal.
After extensively reporting on this matter, the news released another piece of information.
To prevent similar tragedies from happening again, Yunya County decided to completely block the narrow, dark, and poorly ventilated inner passage leading to the altar. This way, the local Miao people can continue their annual traditional rituals without affecting them, and it will prevent unsuspecting people from accidentally entering the depths and causing another suffocation tragedy.
This arrangement is so reasonable it couldn't be more reasonable.
After all, there are many people who crave novelty these days. If that path isn't completely blocked, there will definitely be so-called adventurers coming to seek out novelty in the future!
The news quickly caused a huge uproar online.
However, relatively speaking, those who commented on this news article remained calm. Almost the entire majority expressed support, and no unnecessary disputes arose.
The day after the news was released, Emperor Yan indeed sensed two strange auras entering the barrier he controlled.
One is strong, and the other is weak.
The stronger party is still unsure of their opponent's origins, but as for the weaker party...
It perfectly matched the aura of the residual power he had sensed at the scene of the incident in Valenna, except that the power felt much weaker and more pitiful now.
It seems that Valenna's desperate self-destruction at the end really did cause considerable damage to the puppet.
Just as Yan Di locked onto his target, Gu Qi arrived, travel-worn from the stock exchange.
Having been one of the few people in the previous world to have fought against these puppets, Gu Qi naturally knew far more about this race than Yan Di. So when he heard that they had destroyed one of their three current breeding grounds, he couldn't help but excitedly slap the table and cheer.
"This time we were really lucky."
The first thing those puppets did after landing was to build nests and establish a place for reproduction.
To be honest, I'm still not entirely clear on how they established their breeding grounds, but as far as I know, the process was extremely cruel and ruthless.
It is said that every place where a breeding ground can be established is ultimately built upon a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, piled high with countless wronged souls.
Gu Qi didn't consider himself a good person. It would be strange if a ferocious beast like Qiongqi could be kind and loving!
So if even the Qiongqi (a mythical creature) can't accept something, then it must be incredibly evil!
Gu Qi took a sip of water to clear his mind before continuing, "When the land of reproduction was first established, its strength wasn't very strong. Like the one you've just eliminated, I went close to sense it before, and combined with what you said about its reproductive capabilities, this place was probably established no more than a thousand years ago."
