"What is a corpse baby?"

Although they didn't know what kind of monster Shiri was talking about, the two girls still felt a bit weird from this word.

"They are monsters born from abandoned and unburied babies. They will leave their nests at night and lurk at the bedside of a pregnant woman to absorb the life force of her and her child. Then when the pregnant woman is too weak to resist, it will absorb her

of blood until both mother and child are dead.”

"...There should be some solution to this."

Halfway through listening to this, Liz had already clasped her hands and prayed, but she didn't know what to do. On the continent of Samlia, ghosts and the like only rarely appeared, and among them,

Most of them are not true. As a knight of the Star Cup Knights, Liz can be said to have a lot of combat experience, but her enemies are generally either those who do evil or the monsters that wreak havoc and invade the residents.

Liz really has no way to deal with this kind of curse-like monster - maybe a holy spell will work on it?

"There is a way to break the curse."

Fortunately, although Ciri is just a novice demon hunter, she has also received a lot of training as a demon hunter, including familiarizing herself with the records about all the monsters on this continent. Although Ciri also complained that it was simply a

It is a painful practice, but I have to admit that cramming education is really miraculous at times.

"According to ancient legends, as long as the corpse of a baby is buried under the eaves and threshold of the home, it will transform into a house spirit that protects the home and will have the power to protect the family."

"What is the principle...?"

After listening to Shirley's description, Liz was confused. She really didn't understand why the curse could be lifted by simply burying the corpse under the threshold of the home. According to Liz's understanding, when dealing with curses or ancient relics,

, doesn’t it require a lot of rituals or magic circles?

"Uh... I don't know, the legend says so."

However, in the face of Liz's inquiry, Ciri also had nothing to say. She only learned about corpse babies and how to lift the curse of corpse babies. As for why this can be lifted... only God knows.

"In short, we have only two ways to deal with the corpse baby, either kill it, or turn it into a house elf to relieve its curse and pain. Moreover, if we can successfully transform it into a house elf, then we say

Maybe we can find the whereabouts of my wife through its blood connection with my mother."

"Okay, that's it."

After hearing this, the Bloody Baron also made up his mind.

"Then let's do this and lift the child's curse. It can be regarded as... my little compensation."

"Then let's leave as soon as possible."

After taking a look at the dusk outside, Xili stood up.

"Lord Baron, I hope you can issue an order to keep everyone behind closed doors and sprinkle a thin line of salt on the door."

"Okay, no problem, we're leaving now."

Hearing this, the Bloody Baron also slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly. However, at this moment, Xili, who was about to go out, suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at the Baron.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Baron, would you like a game of Gwent?"

"………………"

What did you say?

Looking at the scene in front of them, Fang Zheng, Liz and Miao Jie were all confused. Sister, didn't you just say that time is tight? What card are you playing? And the Baron is sad about this. Now you say this is appropriate.

?

However, what the three of them didn't expect was that when faced with Ciri's inquiry, the Bloody Baron's eyes suddenly lit up with a gloomy look on his face just now.

"Of course, I am a well-known Gwent master in Willen. Come on, come on, if you beat me, I will give you a special card!"

"That `s a deal!"

“………………………………”

Seeing the two of them happily sitting back at the table, and then taking out two cards from their pockets to start playing, Fang Zheng, Liz, and Miao Jie were completely dumbfounded.

"...Mr. Fangzheng, what should we do now?"

Miaojie blinked and asked in surprise. Even though this noble lady was extremely smart, she didn't know how to react to the situation in front of her. She had just said that the situation was urgent and that she needed to leave immediately, but this was the result.

After a while, the two of them started playing cards in front of themselves and others... Didn't they say they were in a hurry?

"What else can we do? Just wait."

Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly. The two rightful owners are not in a hurry at the moment. What can they do?

So in desperation, he had no choice but to watch Ciri and the Bloody Baron playing cards with two girls.

After looking at it, Fang Zheng also gradually understood the rules of this card. To put it bluntly, it is to compare the big and small by the number of points. It is simple, crude and direct. Everyone draws ten cards from the deck, and then uses these cards to increase their own points. Whoever has the higher point will win.

Win, two out of three games, it is also a game that tests your brain.

But fortunately, this is not a mahjong game after all, so it won’t end up in the Nanfeng Field. After more than ten minutes, Xili won, and the Bloody Baron also gave her a card. After the two of them played, the atmosphere changed.

After feeling much more harmonious, we took action again and went out.

Soon, the sky became dark.

Under the order of the Bloody Baron, everyone in the crow's nest closed their doors tightly. Although they didn't know what happened, the Bloody Baron was the local emperor here, and everyone else had to obey orders.

However, the night was not very good today. Along with the howling wind, dark clouds covered the sky, making it look gloomy. The Bloody Baron took four people to the site of a house not far away. According to him, at that time

He was also afraid of being discovered, so he ran out in a hurry, dug a hole here and buried the baby.

"Look, it's right there..."

As he spoke, the Bloody Baron stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, and then his whole body suddenly froze.

I saw only a large dug hole on the ground, and there were no corpses in it!!

"What, what's going on?"

Seeing this scene, the Bloody Baron was stunned and didn't know what to say. Could it be that someone followed him and secretly dug out the baby again?

And just when he was in shock and doubt, Fang Zheng glanced around and then looked away.

"Oh, here it comes."

"Why?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Fang Zheng's words, and then they saw a black shadow crawling out of the ruins not far away and appearing in front of them.

"hiss……………"

After seeing the true face of the black shadow in front of her clearly, Liz suddenly took a breath of cold air and stepped back. Miaojie hurriedly hid behind Fang Zheng. Although she tried to stay calm, Fang Zheng could feel her pulling her back.

The arms holding her sleeves were trembling slightly. It could be said that this aristocratic lady, who usually had an elegant smile, was really scared now.

But this is normal, because normal people may not remain calm when they see what is in front of them.

What appeared in front of everyone was a baby covered in blood. It looked like it was just born, but its body was swollen and was about the same size as a medium-sized dog. Not only that, this baby

When you open your mouth, you can still see the thin tongue sticking out from it, shaking constantly.

"Fang, Mr. Fangzheng, what should we do?"

At this moment, Liz also asked in a low voice and tremblingly. If Fang hadn't been standing by, I'm afraid the nun would have just thrown a bunch of holy magic at her. Even though she had encountered countless people in the world of Resident Evil

Zombies and mutated monsters, but the scene in front of her still made her sick to her stomach, because this was a monster transformed from a baby!!

"How do I know? Just ask Shirley."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ciri, who was also in a daze looking at the scene in front of her. However, after hearing Fang Zheng's voice, she immediately reacted and turned to the Bloody Baron.

"Quick, go pick it up."

"I-I'll hug it? Won't it make it angry?"

The Bloody Baron was shocked when he heard Ciri's words.

"It's not angry yet, but it will get angry if you linger on. Hurry up."

"Ah, oh......"

Faced with Ciri's urging, the Bloody Baron nodded.

"By the way, what will happen if it gets angry in the middle?"

"It will tear your neck apart and suck all your blood...I'm not sure I can stop it in time."

"Well……………"

Hearing this, the Bloody Baron's complexion suddenly turned pale, but he stared at the corpse baby in front of him, hesitated for a moment, walked forward, stretched out his hand, and lifted it up like a real child.

Seeing this scene, Liz and Miaojie's expressions softened a little. You must know that after they learned that the baron had domestically abused his wife, they had no good feelings towards this man. After all, in their view, a man could not help but

Beating your wife while drunk is really too much. Although the other party is at fault first, you can't torture her like this.

But now it seems that the Bloody Baron knew that he might be killed by the corpse baby, but still gritted his teeth and hugged it. From this point of view, he is not really bad.

Afterwards, the group of people walked back with the Baron surrounded, and the Baron kept holding the corpse baby high all the way. Although the other party struggled occasionally, he really didn't let go at all - of course, this was also due to Fang Zheng.

, although he did not take action, he paid a little attention to the corpse baby. Whenever the corpse baby was about to become violent, Fang Zheng would calm it down again.

But there is no need to say more about this. After all, as Fang Zheng said before, in addition to helping Xili solve problems this time, he came out this time to give his students more experience. As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Let Miaojie and Liz experience it for themselves and gain more experience and ideas.
