Several people returned to the cave entrance again.

Don't ask why you don't come in directly from the hole above, everyone understands.

I walked to the end of the cave again, and this time I carefully looked at the corpses of the villagers piled here. Almost everyone felt nauseated. By rough calculation based on the light, there were probably no less than thirty...

Most of them had only skeletons left, sitting by the wall and lying on the ground, staring at the people who broke into the cave with their empty eye sockets.

Li Nuo took a torch and looked at the corpses one by one.

"Diao, are there any clues on these corpses?" Jerel asked behind him.

"Wait a minute."

Li Nuo squatted in front of a corpse. This was a relatively complete corpse. At least its feet were still there. If Fenter was also picky about food, it would be normal to feel aversion to athlete's foot.

He pinched off a small piece of remaining minced meat from the corpse, pinched it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and almost vomited.

Although the witcher's sense of smell is very sensitive, it is really not a good thing in some situations.

Holding the minced meat in his hand, he walked to another corpse and repeated the above steps. He didn't let go of the more than thirty corpses here.

At this time, Kakatri had already looked around this place and said: "There are no traces of humanoid creatures here. Although I don't know what you are doing, but..."

"Look at these minced meats." Li Nuo interrupted him and stretched out his palm to let them see the minced meat collected from all the corpses.

"Is there any problem?" Jerel wondered.

Li Nuo shook the minced meat and said, "The worst condition has turned into dried meat, and the best condition is that the blood has contracted and started to deteriorate."

"...!" Kakat looked surprised.

But Jerel still didn't know why, "What does it mean..."

Kakatri said: "It means there are no fresh corpses here..."

"That's right." Li Nuo kowtowed invisibly, "The village chief said that someone was arrested yesterday, but there are no fresh bodies here, so we can only think of two possibilities. The arrested villagers escaped halfway, or the village chief

lie."

"Escape is impossible. Maybe the Fenter monster ate them outside?"

Jerel asked, and at the same time he picked up a piece of minced meat and looked at it with a look of disgust on his face.

Li Nuo lowered the corners of his mouth, and suddenly said in an extremely serious tone: "There are thirty-five villagers' corpses in total. The Fenter monster can capture two villagers with one big hand, four at a time, and it can capture one every three to four days."

, it caught a total of eight to nine times in a month, and I asked, why does it catch it every three to four days?"

Jerel was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, gestured with the numbers with both hands, and began to calculate.

Kakatri frowned helplessly and slapped Jerel on the back of the head.

"Idiot... What he means is that Fant monsters catch three to four at a time to reserve rations for themselves. The number of corpses here is basically consistent, which can rule out the hypothesis that it ate several villagers in the wild. On the other hand,

It means it eats one person a day, and then catches it after it’s all eaten..."

"This classmate is very talented~" Li Nuo smiled and clapped his hands.

Kakatli felt like he was being teased inexplicably, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to retort, but there was a hint of impatience on his face, "Tch...what do you want to say? Hurry up."

Li Nuo laughed, and suddenly his face darkened, "Even if it eats four people in one day, it won't be enough to go hunting in the woods. It can just go back to the village and catch a few more people to eat. Besides, why does it want to feed itself?"

Reserve food. If we rule out the possibility that this guy wants to change his taste, just based on the above questions, I can only understand that he is wary of something, so he deliberately chooses a fixed time period to go to the village to catch people."

Kakatri already understood what Li Nuo meant.

"There is a problem in the village."

Li Nuo nodded and took steps towards the outside of the cave, "We'd better go back to the village immediately. This matter may be related to your affairs."

When Kakatri heard this, his face became solemn and he said solemnly: "What you mean is that the Fenter monster did not go to the village yesterday because there may be a vampire in the village."

"Wait a minute, I don't understand. How could a vampire suddenly appear in the village? Besides, why did it only appear yesterday? Didn't the Fenter monster capture the villagers for nearly a month?" Jerel couldn't believe it.

"Some things still need to be verified, but Fenter did visit the village yesterday."

"How do you know it has been there? Didn't you just speculate that it didn't bring back any villagers yesterday?" Jerel asked.

Li Nuo's steps slowed down a little, and he turned his head slightly and said, "Because there are fresh footprints of Fenter monsters in the village."

Kakatri was stunned for a moment, then showed disdain, "There are footprints again...what the hell is going on with you."

"I have good eyesight."

…

Back in Vaccaro Village, every household had closed their doors. It was already late at night and most of the villagers had fallen asleep.

Li Nuo was walking on the dirt road and saw a drop of dried blood on the weeds on the side of the road.

He picked out a trace of blood from the grass, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then took out a dagger and cut his finger, put it in front of his nose again and asked.

"The blood on the grass is not human blood."

Hearing this, Jerel looked stunned for a moment, then said with vacant eyes: "Diao... I think you got the wrong code name."

Li Nuo turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, I will spit blood all over your face."

Jerel didn't realize it. This skill is very powerful.

Kakatri ignored them and glanced around the village with a confused look on his face, "I don't know which house the village chief lives in."

Li Nuo lightly shrugged, "You don't need to ask the village chief, just knock on any house. You can also find out a lot by asking the villagers alone."

As he spoke, he walked up to the nearest house and knocked on the old wooden door without hesitation.

"Hey...you are too quick to resolve this." Kakatri didn't know when he learned to complain.

After a while, no one opened the door.

Li Nuo knocked twice more, but no one opened the door.

"Are they all dead pigs?"

He murmured and reached out to push the door. Unexpectedly, the door was not locked and was pushed open. Then he poked his head and entered the house.

Kakatri took a long breath and was speechless, thinking to himself that this guy really dared to break into someone else's house at night.

At this time, Jerel pointed his finger at him, "Kakatri...did you hear some noise in that house?"

Jerel pointed to a house behind them.

Kakatri did hear some sounds as he got closer.

"The family hasn't slept yet."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jerel, nodded slightly to each other, and knocked on the door.

…

Li Nuo walked into the house, only to find that there was no one in the house.

And when we entered the house, we realized how dilapidated the house was. There was a pungent smell of sweat everywhere, and there was even a faint smell of blood...

The indoor roof is very low. As long as Li Nuo is a little higher, his head can reach the beams.

Sure enough, it looked like a place for livestock... Li Nuo cursed secretly.

The thoughts in his mind are gradually being verified as the truth.

Vaccaro Village is a "sheepfold" established by vampires.

Li Nuo had seen some descriptions related to vampire eating in his novels.

The food of vampires is fresh human blood. Many vampires believe that there is a more effective way to obtain high-quality human blood than hunting, that is, systematic and well-controlled animal husbandry.

The benefits of animal husbandry are quite obvious. For example, you can control what the population eats, and you can also obtain offspring with higher heme quality through individual breeding.

In addition to raising people by yourself, another advantage is that captive and domesticated humans are much docile and less likely to cause trouble than humans captured outside.

Since I first arrived in this village, I have noticed a lot of things that are wrong, such as the villagers whose faces are as pale as if they have lost too much blood, and the houses that are low and do not look like people living in them.

The strangest thing is that if you count the thirty-five corpses in the cave and the nearly twenty villagers who stayed outside during the day, then the number of people in this village is a bit too large. There are almost as many houses here.

Can't bear it.

But if they were kept in captivity, that would make sense...

Thinking of this, Li Nuo buried his head and muttered in a low voice: "But I still have a question..."

Bang!

Suddenly, a sound outside interrupted his thoughts. Li Nuo immediately turned around and walked out of the room. After seeing the scene outside the room, cold sweat instantly crawled down his forehead.
Chapter completed!
