In the entire town, even though it wasn't too late, there wasn't a single pedestrian in sight.
"This area is all vampire territory." Prince Wilson, who was leading the way, explained in a low voice, as if sensing Hu Yue and the others' doubts: "The purpose is to protect the vampires' sacred land deep in the Misty Forest."
Most of the residents in this town are guardians of the vampire clan.
They are loyal vampire guardians, protecting the peace of the sacred land.
Therefore, it is quite normal that the population here is not large.
Over the years, it's not that no one has wanted to come here for adventure and tourism, but after a few minor accidents, the news about ghosts haunting the Misty Forest spread far and wide. In addition, since large areas of the jungle belong to the vampires, people have been less likely to come and disturb the area.
Wilson led them to the only hotel in the town.
The old-fashioned two-story wooden building was dimly lit upon entering, and it seemed that guests had already arrived, as everyone's eyes were drawn to them as soon as they entered.
This hostility vanished upon seeing Prince Wilson, and everyone turned back to drinking and chatting.
Prince Wilson led Song Mengmeng and the others up the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor of the small building. As if they knew they were coming, the rooms on the second floor had already been prepared, with the bedding and sheets all pristine white.
"The conditions are a bit tough, please forgive us."
Prince Wilson felt somewhat embarrassed to entertain Song Mengmeng and her companions in such an environment.
He smiled apologetically, thought for a moment, and continued, "Dinner has been prepared for everyone. Please wash up first and then come and eat!"
We'll set off for the holy site first thing tomorrow morning.
Song Mengmeng wasn't particularly interested in the traditional food of the smog-ridden country. She simply ate some sandwiches. As for the smoked fish soup, it looked rather unappetizing, and she didn't have the courage to take a bite.
This country truly lives up to its reputation as a culinary desert!
After dinner, Prince Wilson didn't linger with Song Mengmeng and the others. Instead, he politely escorted them back to their rooms to rest, so they could head to the Holy Land early the next morning.
Because she had something to do, Song Mengmeng didn't stay in bed late and got up very early.
When she woke up, Emperor Yan was not in the room. She slowly got up, washed up, and went out, just in time to see Prince Wilson walking out of the end of the corridor.
Upon seeing Song Mengmeng, Prince Wilson greeted her with great courtesy and politeness.
Song Mengmeng returned the greeting, and then asked with some curiosity, "I heard that vampires are most afraid of silver, sunlight, and garlic water!"
It seems the rumors aren't true!
"We vampires aren't afraid of sunlight, we just don't really like it."
As for the claim that silverware contains garlic water, that's utter nonsense. From a human perspective, vampires are essentially the living dead.
We have no heartbeat, no body temperature.
Therefore, piercing our hearts with a silver cross would completely kill us...
That's unrealistic.
Song Mengmeng nodded, and without asking any further questions, bid farewell to Prince Wilson and went downstairs to find Yan Di and the others.
Yan Di and Gu Qi were sitting in the lobby on the first floor, quietly discussing something with Hu Yue and the others. When they saw Song Mengmeng coming over, Yan Di stood up without much hesitation and said to her, "Come and have breakfast, and then we can set off."
Because the road to the holy site is located in a forest, it is rugged and narrow, and there is no way to use any means of transportation. Therefore, for ordinary people, the only feasible option is to walk.
With Prince Wilson accompanying them, their journey through the jungle was relatively smooth.
They set off around eight in the morning and finally arrived at the entrance to the cave hidden in the forest around noon.
From this perspective, the opening simply appears to be recessed inwards. If it weren't for Prince Wilson leading the way, it would look like any other shelter formed by a landslide.
However, Song Mengmeng and the others knew that the reason for this was that the vampires had set up a barrier.
Sure enough, in the short time they were waiting, they saw Prince Wilson take two steps forward and do something. In an instant, the seemingly ordinary cave entrance transformed into a deep, mysterious passage leading to an unknown destination.
As soon as the passage opened, Song Mengmeng's expression changed immediately.
That's right!
That familiar taste!
It was the filthy and evil aura that she had encountered before, carried by the puppet race!
Although they already had a sense of what they were about to see, Song Mengmeng and her companions did not disturb Prince Wilson, who was leading the way. The group quickly entered the long, dark corridor and headed towards the vampire sanctuary at the end.
According to Prince Wilson, the earliest origin of vampires was a silver-furred bat.
So from then on, the vampires regarded bats as sacred objects, and the walls on both sides of the passage leading to the holy land were densely carved with bats of various shapes.
Protected by the King of Hell, Song Mengmeng ventured deeper into the area, where the murderous intent stirring within her grew ever stronger.
