222: The ailing Mother of Blood! A battle for survival in the mist!

Lin Lu smelled a strong, mellow aroma of liquor, which made her involuntarily swallow.

She took a step back and asked cautiously, "May I ask, Master! Are you a Vampire?"

The Spirit race cannot drink the Vampires' bloody mary.

bloody mary pollutes the bloodline and aura of the Spirit race, causing her to fall and become a Vampire.

If she were just an ordinary Spirit race member, it wouldn't matter.

But she was the sole bloodline of the Spirit Holy Race.

An ambitious youth determined to revitalize the Spirit race and strengthen her clan.

How could she possibly fall and become a detestable Vampire just because of a sip of liquor!

This was unacceptable to her!

It was precisely because of this that she had been imprisoned by Vampire Grand Duke William.

"How could that be! I became a Blood race member using a vampire incarnation pill!"

Su Lie responded cheerfully.

Lin Lu was stunned and looked at Su Lie in disbelief.

Seeing this, Su Lie didn't hold back and immediately canceled the effects of the incarnation pill.

The next second, his aura changed, reverting to that of a human.

The reason he did this was that the transformation time of the incarnation pill had only five minutes remaining.

Lin Lu was still somewhat confused.

Su Lie took out a vampire incarnation pill and handed it to Lin Lu, while he directly consumed one himself.

Immediately afterward, the aura around him surged, and the human aura in his blood was completely masked by the aura of a Vampire royal bloodline.

When Lin Lu saw Su Lie use the incarnation pill, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief before finally eating the pill.

*Buzz!*

Subsequently, Lin Lu's aura, which was originally ethereal and fairy-like, became turbid, and a thick aura of a Blood race royal deity emerged.

This shocked Su Lie's mind, and he was secretly overjoyed: "Haha! This is great! I gained a Deity-level Spirit Servant for free! With her Disguise as a Vampire royal noble, and me acting as a guard, I can go to even more distant places to swindle people!"

Lin Lu felt the changes in herself and the flavor of the aura, which made her completely trust Su Lie. Especially after seeing the grade of the pill she had consumed on her interface, she was too shocked to speak: "This is a God-tier pill!"

"Mhm!"

Su Lie nodded.

Lin Lu stared wide-eyed and asked, "You just gave this to me..."

She couldn't adapt to this situation immediately.

One must know.

Even though she was a Deity, she still wasn't qualified to consume a God-tier pill.

This kind of resource was a treasure beyond her reach.

As far as she knew.

In this world, only the Blood race royalty residing in the fertile central region possessed pills of this grade.

Moreover, this kind of pill was uncommon; even Blood race members had to acquire one from the Ancestor through various competitive means.

Even so.

The Blood race imposed extremely strict restrictions on Blood race members competing for God-tier pills.

As a fallen Spirit race member, she dared not even imagine possessing such resources.

Yet now.

Not only did Su Lie give it to her.

She had also used it directly.

"Master! This... is too wasteful!"

Lin Lu stared wide-eyed and said solemnly, "With this pill, I can help you exchange for some precious resources!"

"Is that so?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up. As he handed the kaoliang liquor in his hand to Lin Lu, he asked, "Are there other Spirit race members here?"

This sparked an idea in him.

If every Spirit race member could directly grant him a level up, just like Lin Lu.

This entire clan must be gathered under his command.

He wouldn't mind being a little tired every day!

Lin Lu nodded: "There is a primeval jungle located in the border area between the Blood Plains and the Saladin Blood Fortress. I established a tribe there together with some non-Blood race beings!"

This tribe served as a temporary foothold and supply point for non-Blood race beings like them.

The tribe contained beings from various clans.

There were Deities and also merchant caravans that were not Deities.

"Those caravans are related to the Blood race and can bring in a large amount of resources prohibited by the Blood race!"

Lin Lu first took a sip of liquor, then said, "Your kind of pill that can transform one into a Blood race member is definitely a bestseller!"

"If Deities like us can continuously obtain such pills, we can change our appearance and impersonate Blood race members from the outlying regions!"

"As long as we deal with the Blood race royal patrol team every year, we can rest easy, and we can also use this identity to constantly undermine the Blood race and cultivate our own power!"

She said eagerly, "Do you know? Our ultimate goal is to drive the Blood race from their position as masters of this continent and replace them with governance by all races!"

"As for the Spirit race... they are not here! ... I was accidentally transported here when I triggered a space-time storm during an exploration!"

"The main reason I helped other races start wars here was still to find a way to leave!"

"But now, that is no longer necessary!"

*Gulp! Gulp!*

She drank the liquor while talking about her grand goals.

After two *liang* (ounces) went down.

Her internal energy blossomed, and her injuries actually healed.

The refreshing sensation of her old wounds being removed made Lin Lu unable to resist opening her arms and embracing Su Lie: "Thank you!"

Saying this, she offered a fragrant kiss.

The two quickly tumbled together.

Time passed bit by bit.

By around 7 o'clock the next morning.

Su Lie finally woke up from their intimate moment.

He stretched and looked at the sleeping Lin Lu beside him.

Su Lie quietly put on the giant bear leather armor set and the hover boots.

He returned outside the fortress.

At this moment.

The people of the Fruit Clan had gathered in the open space outside the fortress.

The original Fruit Clan, which numbered over twenty thousand, now had only over ten thousand remaining.

The Blood Raven Guard quietly transformed into crows and perched on the surrounding branches.

Fell, the representative of the Fruit Clan and the former steward of the Blood Fortress, quickly walked over when he saw Su Lie: "Great Master! My clansmen have completed your request! Currently, the dragon hair grass and blood-sucking wood within a three-hundred-kilometer radius have all been collected!"

"The dragon blood carbon has also been collected to its limit!"

Listening to Fell's report.

Su Lie's eyes moved, and he walked straight onto the bone throne nearby, instructing Fell: "Good! Come over and exchange them one by one!"

By the time the Blood Sun rose into the sky, around 12 o'clock noon.

Su Lie completed this transaction.

This time, he acquired a total of 1 billion stalks of dragon hair grass, 100 million units of blood-sucking wood, and 100,000 tons of dragon blood carbon.

For this resource transaction, he paid a total of 2.1 million blood coins, valued at 10 each.

In addition.

Among these ten thousand-plus people, 7,361 Fruit People gained their freedom, and he gifted them 7,361,000 blood coins.

Such a promise and generous expenditure.

Instantly won Su Lie the adoration of all the Fruit People.

Su Lie calculated carefully.

In the past few days, he had acquired a total of 1.52 billion stalks of dragon hair grass, 151 million units of blood-sucking wood, and 104,440 tons of dragon blood carbon.

He had spent a total of 13,623,440 blood coins.

Currently, he still had 205,032,769 blood coins, valued at 10 each, remaining.

"I didn't expect to spend so little!"

Su Lie was very dissatisfied with this.

He frowned, looked at Fell, and asked, "Am I correct in understanding that this area has reached its mining limit?"

"Yes, Master! Nature has its own the rules. The resources of the Blood Realm grow by relying on the nutrients of the Blood Earth. dragon blood carbon is the coagulation of blood left after the Blood Earth is wounded, and blood-sucking wood and dragon hair grass are the tentacles through which the Blood Earth draws in Mist Energy!"

Fell knelt respectfully on the ground and willingly kowtowed, saying, "Now, the tentacles of the Blood Plains that the Blood Earth uses to draw in Mist Energy have been almost completely cut down. The Blood Earth around the Blood Fortress is now finding it difficult to heal automatically after being dug up, and it can no longer condense dragon blood carbon!"

"This shows that the environment here has been severely damaged; it needs time to recover!"

"Please, for the sake of this land still having some value, allow it to recover!"

"If this continues, the Blood Earth will inevitably wither, and this place will completely become a land of death!"

As he spoke.

The Fruit race members all knelt and kowtowed.

Previously, they were filled with Fear toward Grand Duke William.

Now, however, they were extremely grateful to Su Lie, who was Disguised as Grand Duke William, and they had gained courage.

Only then did they voice their thoughts and offer some suggestions.

At this moment, Lin Lu elegantly walked over. She sensed the wailing of the land and realized it might be related to the transactions between Su Lie and the Fruit People, so she immediately said, "Master! I heard the wailing of this land!"

Hearing this, Su Lie used his Wood Speaker Talent.

He heard the cries of the surrounding plants.

"Waa! Waa! Waa! The Blood Earth is sick, and I can't get nutrients anymore! I think I'm going to die!"

"This is all the fault of these damned two-legged beasts; they cut off the tentacles of the Mother of Blood! How can the Mother of Blood draw in Mist Energy now?"

"Alas! It's all our fault for being too useless, having always been Parasitic on the Mother of Blood, yet unable to give her nutrition in return! I hate it!"

"Even more hateful is that King!"

"Shh! Quiet down! That is a majestic and overbearing Blood race noble; be careful he doesn't burn us to death!"

... Listening to the wailing of the surrounding plants.

Su Lie stood up and walked down from the bone throne. He took out a shovel and dug a scoop into the ground.

As a result.

With that scoop, the Blood Earth gurgled out fresh red blood.

The earth, which should have healed instantly, took a full five minutes to barely close the wound.

But the spilled blood turned into a pool of foul water after the wound healed.

"It seems the condensation of dragon blood carbon also has a time limit!"

Seeing this, Su Lie gave up on continuing to arrange for the Fruit race members to gather resources.

Just as he looked up at the Fruit race members in front of him.

[Buzz!]

At this moment, a notification appeared in his line of sight.

[Your Shelter will initiate the Mist Survival Battle in 1 hour!]

[Please prepare everything and return to the Shelter to meet the challenge!]

[Otherwise: You will be forcibly teleported back to the Shelter! And fined 1 million Mist Points! And stripped of your qualification to enter the Blood Secret Realm!]

Su Lie's eyes shook upon seeing this, and he couldn't help but curse: "Damn! I just conquered this Blood Plains, and now I have to go back! Isn't this just a waste of this opportunity?"

Afterward.

He suddenly turned to look at Lin Lu and transmitted his voice through Spirit: "...Do you want to go back with me?"

He first relayed the information he had just received.

"Master! You can only bring me back to the Shelter after completing the mission issued under the mist rule! It's not that I can go back whenever I want to!"

Lin Lu said solemnly, "Furthermore, I still have some matters to handle here, and I cannot immediately return with you!"

"I see!"

Su Lie sensed Lin Lu's sincerity and sighed: "This is really troublesome!"

He pondered for a moment before asking Lin Lu: "Do you have any storage equipment!"

"I do!"

Lin Lu nodded and handed over her storage pouch...
