Chapter 202: Bloodthirsty Bats in the Valley of Sorrow (Part )

"Blood-sucking bat?!" everyone exclaimed.

"That's right." Old Lady Wang nodded slightly and said painfully, "That's right. Not far to the southwest of Qingshi Village, there is a valley filled with mist. It's called 'Sad Soul Valley'. That group of blood-sucking bats live in it."

"Valley of Sorrowful Souls, Valley of Sorrowful Souls, Valley of Sorrowful Souls..." Shui Wushuang muttered to herself, repeating the name over and over again.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Shui Bing'er asked in surprise, "Why do you become so strange when you hear the words 'Sad Soul Valley'?"

"I've heard of this place before. It's also called the Fantasy Valley. It's also a tomb!"

"Grave?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"That's right!" Shui Wushuang nodded and slowly explained, "I once heard from an elder that as long as you enter the Valley of Sad Souls, you will be able to see your deceased relatives, lovers, and friends.

Therefore, many children who lost their parents, husbands who lost their wives, and many wives who lost their husbands came here just to see them again.

And no one who enters the Valley of Sorrow can come out alive, so I say that the Valley of Sorrow is actually a grave."

"Hey! Why does this sound so creepy?" Qin Huan'er couldn't help but get goosebumps when she heard this.

Shui Bing'er asked, "What about the blood-sucking bat? Mom, do you know about the blood-sucking bat?"

"I don't know about that. I've never heard of this kind of soul beast." Shui Wushuang looked at Old Lady Wang and motioned for her to continue.

"Alas, you are all outsiders, so it's normal that you don't know about blood-sucking bats. Blood-sucking bats are cruel and feed on human blood. They come back to harass us almost every night over the years, making us afraid to go out at night.

Moreover, the blood-sucking bats, when they are extremely hungry, will rush into houses and attack humans. This Qingshi Village originally had 3,000 to 4,000 people, but because of the group of blood-sucking bats, there are only about 100 people left in the huge village.

Half a month ago, my son and daughter-in-law were also killed by blood-sucking bats..."

At the end of the story, Old Lady Wang couldn't help but cover her face and cry. It was obvious that it was not a good feeling to see a loved one die.

"This……"

"I'm sorry, old man, for bringing up your sad story?" Shui Wushuang said apologetically.

Old Lady Wang calmed down and waved her hands. "Alas, this is not your fault. Anyway, the blood-sucking bats may come again tonight, so you should go to bed after dinner. Remember: do not turn on the lights or light fires at night!"

"Why?" Bai Chenxiang asked.

“Because blood-sucking bats are extremely afraid of light and are extremely sensitive to it, even the slightest spark of fire cannot escape their eyes.

Therefore, they usually only come out at night. Previously, some villagers lit lamps at night, but they were sucked dry by blood-sucking bats and turned into mummies. "

Shui Wushuang was puzzled and said, "This... Old man, I don't understand. Since this place is so dangerous, why don't you leave?"

Unexpectedly, Old Lady Wang sighed again, "If we leave, where can we go? You don't know that we all fled from the Xing Luo Empire!"

"What?! Are you from the Star Luo Empire?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Old Lady Wang looked bitter, nodded helplessly, and said: "Yes, we were originally ordinary people on the border of Xingluo Empire. Tiandou and Xingluo have been fighting for years. Although no large-scale war broke out due to the intervention of the Spirit Hall, the border conflict has never stopped. We simply can't survive there, so ten years ago, more than a dozen of our villages left the Xingluo Empire, settled here, and built Qingshi Village.

I originally wanted to live and work in peace here, away from the world, but I didn’t expect to encounter blood-sucking bats again..."

"I see. But grandma, you can go to the Spirit Hall, right?" Qin Huan'er suggested, "You have so many spirit beasts here, there's no reason for the Spirit Hall to ignore it, right?"

“Alas, we have asked for help from the Spirit Hall. Just two and a half years ago, a Spirit Emperor-level spirit master led fifty spirit masters and five hundred Spirit Hall guard knights into the Valley of Sorrowful Souls, determined to wipe out these blood-sucking bats.

We were all very excited at the time, thinking that the hard times were finally over, but who would have thought that so many people would go in and never come out again. In two and a half years, not a single person has come out!"

"What? There are so many people, but no one has come out?" Shui Wushuang was shocked when she heard that. If this was the case, this Valley of Sorrowful Souls was simply too weird.

"That's right. Their lives and deaths are still unknown. No one has seen them alive, and no one has found their bodies. Afterwards, the Spirit Hall organized five Soul Saints to lead twenty Soul Emperors to search for them, but the result was still..."

At the end, Old Lady Wang sighed deeply again. It was obvious that these people did not come out either.

"After losing so many people, the Spirit Hall doesn't dare to send anyone else here. We can only fend for ourselves here."

"Grandma Wang, please don't say that!" Shui Bing'er gently comforted the old lady. She glanced at the unhappy Xiaoya, and said with gritted teeth, "Grandma, we are also soul masters. My mother is a soul master at the Soul Douluo level. We will definitely help you!"

"No, no, no!"

Old Lady Wang thought Shui Bing'er and the others were also going to enter the Valley of Sad Souls, so she quickly shouted to stop them, "The Valley of Sad Souls is too dangerous, you must not go in! Soul Masters, too many Soul Masters have died because of us, we can't kill any more people..."

Shui Bing'er suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, Grandma Wang, you misunderstood. We won't easily enter the Valley of Sad Souls. We are just waiting for those blood-sucking bats to come out and help you eliminate them!"

Seeing that they had no intention of entering the Valley of Sad Souls, Old Lady Wang heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good..."

When Xiaoya learned that Shui Bing'er and others were preparing to deal with the group of blood-sucking bats, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes for the first time.

She took the initiative to say, "Sisters, if you want to deal with blood-sucking bats, you can use torches and the blood of wild beasts to attract them. The soul master who came here before used this method to attract them."

The little girl's voice is very nice, so clear, pleasant and sweet that it melts people's hearts.

"Hehe, okay, we'll take care of the blood-sucking bats!" Seeing Xiaoya taking the initiative to speak, Qin Huan'er smiled and said, "Xiaoya, your task now is to eat well, understand? Don't let your grandma worry about you, okay?"

"Yeah!" Xiaoya ate the vegetables and dried meat in the bowl obediently.

After dinner, Shui Bing'er led everyone to ambush in a forest outside Qingshi Village. This was the only way to enter Qingshi Village from the Valley of Sad Souls.

"Hey, Bing'er, you really found me a great job this time!"

Shui Wushuang sighed helplessly. She had originally planned to have dinner here and leave tomorrow, but who would have thought that her leaky little cotton jacket would actually expose her identity!

"Oh, Mom, aren't we going to help Sister Huan'er find a soul beast that's right for her? Maybe this group of blood-sucking bats would be just right for her?"
