Chapter 1276: One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy-Three "——Lü Shu?"

Su Mingan got off the carriage and saw a young man with white hair and green eyes stumbling towards him.

Blood-red bow tie gem, crimson cape, brown vest. It looked like Lu Shu himself.

"... Lu Shu?" Su Ming'an walked forward and found that Lu Shu's eyes had turned red.

……

Lu Shu walked forward.

It seemed as if something was beating in his blood vessels. He heard the sound of blood flowing wildly. Everything in front of him looked like a worn-out old movie, all white.

...Where is he going? What is he going to do?
His thoughts were tangled up in a mess, and the strong feeling of hunger made him feel as if he was back in front of the dumpster in winter, wandering madly between self-esteem and instinct. All his senses were infinitely reduced, and only the empty feeling in his stomach was rapidly magnified.

"Sir? Sir? Are you okay? Do you need help?" A passerby saw him and came over and waved.

Lu Shu's face was too pale, and his green pupils were tinged with red.

The next moment, Lu Shu saw the horrified expression on the passerby's face. Looking down, he saw that his hands were already pinching the passerby's neck, and blood was flowing out.

"...No, it can't be done."

The bright red stung him, and he immediately let go of his hand, bit his lips, and restrained himself. The passers-by ran away in fear.

He scratched his arms nervously, leaving bloody marks to fight the hunger roaring in his body. His left arm was already covered in blood.

…He seemed to understand why the vampire girl looked at him with a joking look on her face, and believed that he could not resist hunger. The hunger of the vampires was indeed a nightmare, and he persisted for four days.

I heard a hallucination:
"...Idiot, just kill an NPC to satisfy your appetite. Didn't you expect this when Casadia asked you to choose your race?"

“I…” Lu Shu didn’t know who this voice belonged to. This voice had appeared since he started to feel hungry.

He only knew that the voice called itself "Lü Shen".

"Don't control yourself anymore. You have subconsciously wanted to hunt. Otherwise, you wouldn't have run from the surface plane to the Hell plane. The food in the Hell plane has higher nutritional value." Lu Shen's voice drifted: "Yes, go forward, turn another corner... there it is."

"What are you guiding?" Lu Shu asked. This voice had been guiding him in a certain direction.

"…We're here." Lu Shen's voice faded away.

Lu Shu stumbled forward. He could hardly see anything, only his senses were constantly clamoring.

"——Lü Shu?" A voice came from the front.

The voice sounded too familiar. Lu Shu raised his head almost immediately and barely saw a figure.

The figure walked towards him and waved his hand: "Why are you in the land of the dead? I remember that the base camp of the blood clan is on the Crescent Island on the surface plane. It's too dangerous here."

Su Mingan calculated in his mind. Si Que said that before the tenth day of selection, at least ten forces must be controlled. Lu is the Sea Emperor, and the Sea of ​​Eternal Life is one force. Lu Shu is the heir of Duke Lubert of the Blood Clan, and the Blood Clan is the second force. If Yamada Machi can defeat the Mechanical Clan, the Mechanical Clan will be the third force. The rest depends on me to continue to contact my teammates and recruit people myself.

Meeting Lu Shu now is a pleasant surprise.

"What's going on?" Su Ming'an could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Lu Shu. "I heard that the World Tree summoned you. What happened?"

“Nothing happened…” Lu Shu stumbled and said honestly, “I stood under the tree roots for a while… and then came back…”

"So what's your situation now?"

"I am like this now... because of... racial instinct." Lu Shu rubbed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed to speak: "Should I choose the Green Bamboo Clan as you requested? If I didn't change..."

"No." Su Ming'an shook his head: "Your choice is correct. The Qingzhu tribe has been exterminated, but the heir of the blood tribe is very helpful to me."

Lu Shu's voice trembled: "I met the remaining young master of the Qingzhu tribe. I temporarily placed him with Lin Yin. She is in the Tianxuan Kingdom in the east and is from the Panda tribe."

"Okay." Su Mingan said, "How do I solve your problem?"

His current identity is Si Que. In addition to the Xi Que tribe, he is likely to be a member of the Lin tribe who did not die in a certain generation. He does not know whether drinking the blood of the Lin tribe will cause his body to explode, after all, they are a race created by God.

Lu Shu lowered his head, took a breath, and then slowly raised his head.

For some reason, his expression gradually returned to normal.

"I'm feeling better." Lu Shu looked at him and said, "What are you doing in the Undead Realm? Let's go together."

His tone was slightly different from before.

"Are you okay?" Su Ming'an looked at Lu Shu. His complexion was better and his eyes had returned to their normal green color.

"The feeling of hunger comes in waves, just hold on and it will be fine. I'm not sure how high up the food chain I can handle the blood of. To be on the safe side, I'll handle it myself first," said Lu Shu.

Seeing that the situation was resolved, the two men went into the city.

There was a slight aura of death floating in the city of the undead, and most of the buildings were gray and black in color.

The atmosphere around was unusual and there were not many pedestrians on the street, as if something big had happened.

"...Hello, are you Mr. Si Que?"

Su Mingan looked up and saw a young man with short green hair walking towards him. He was wearing a leather jacket and Martin boots. He had big sunflower earrings dangling on his ears.

The green-haired young man was very familiar with the person. He walked closer and said with a smile, "My name is Qi Jue. I'm here to greet you."

"Have we met before?" Su Mingan asked.

"No. I'm just a receptionist. I don't know what you look like, but your cufflinks are a sign of contact." Qi Jue pointed at Su Ming'an's sleeves. There was a small black and white magpie cufflink, which should have been worn by Si Que before: "Please follow me. I will take you to see Lord Xi Ting."

...Xiting?

Su Mingan was keenly aware of it... Xiting, the Lord of the Undead? Wasn't he one of the emperors who wanted to capture Si Que alive or dead? What did Si Que mean by letting him meet such a dangerous friend?

On the way, Su Mingan asked tentatively: "Does your lady hate me?"

Qi Jue always smiles, and has a very sunny and cheerful personality. Hearing this, his mouth opened into a circle, and his round pupils widened: "You are her good friend, how could she hate you? It's better to say that I admire you very much. I am so happy to be allowed to entertain you this time. I have always liked your "Thirty Dark Fairy Tales for Children Before Bedtime". I have collected the whole set at home. Can you sign it for me later? It's the fairy tale about the magpie repaying its gratitude by eating jellyfish. I love it very much..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he started chattering non-stop, making people dizzy.

Su Mingan rubbed his eyebrows. He hadn't seen someone who talked so much in a long time.

At this time, Lu Shu spoke up: "The atmosphere around here is very tense, has something happened?"

“Ah.” Qi Jue tapped his palms and finally stopped talking, still smiling: “The recent fight among the heirs of the Undead Clan is very fierce… Oh, by the way, when you go to the castle later, don’t stand in line at random.”

Su Mingan nodded. This matter had nothing to do with him. He went to see Xi Ting just to see the goddess of life and complete the main task.

But what he didn't expect was——

……

Under the pitch-black castle, a blond young man in a bright red fur coat stood with his arms folded, staring at Su Mingan with his flaming eyes, showing a bit of surprise.

"You...why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

The voices sounded at the same time.

Su Mingan looked at one of the heirs of the Undead Clan, the Master of Fire, Aini, in surprise.

"Aren't you from the Fire Elemental Clan? Why are you participating in the fight for heirs of the Undead Clan?" Su Ming'an pointed at Aini.

Aini dusted off his fur coat, snorted, and said proudly, "This time the selection of the successor is to select a divine messenger of the Demon Mother Goddess, regardless of race. I will give it a try. This is the qualification I worked so hard to get these days."

Su Mingan's heart moved. The Demon Mother Goddess chose the Envoy. This was a big deal in the Hell Plane. If Aini could get the position, then he could get both the Fire Element and the Undead. It was a sure win.

He stepped forward and grabbed Aini.

"You, what are you doing?" Aini shuddered.

"I will help you win, but don't reject me just because you are too competitive," said Su Ming'an.

At the same time, he heard a system prompt:
……

"Ding dong!"

[Final victory rate: 3.202%]

……

Su Mingan took a look and thought the ranking was pretty good. After all, there were many hidden talents in Luowasha.

At twelve noon, the castle's welcome lunch was held.

Su Mingan was wearing a white dress and sitting behind Aini. His current identity was "Aini's supporter". There were three people participating in the competition tonight, and Aini was the only one who did not have any retainers or supporters behind him. It seemed that the Fire Elemental Clan did not think highly of him either.

Su Ming'an held his chin and looked at the door. Most of the guests were clan elders and nobles. Their bodies were either as strong as a wall or as thin as a bamboo pole. They all looked weird.

"Little prince, how come you only have one supporter?" A teasing voice came from a half-demon named Fuhn who was sitting opposite. He held his chin and looked at Aini provocatively: "Before, you boasted to me that you would definitely win, but in the end, there was no one behind you. Lady Isabel would not favor someone like you."

Aini exhaled through his nose: "Even if there is no one behind me, I will definitely win!"

Su Mingan opened the World Tree Forum and found a story written by Aini. The theme of the story was that the little prince who was not optimistic about the throne turned the tide in the struggle for the throne. There was a vicious villain named Fu En, and the two fought for the throne. It was marked as a passionate upgrade article.

"【That day, Prince Al decided to participate in the selection of heirs. Only by gaining enough power can he redress his mother's grievances." Su Mingan read for a while. Aini's story was quite fascinating: "...【At the luncheon, Al met his mortal enemy, Fawn. Fawn hated people who were prettier than him the most, but he saw a man who was a hundred times more handsome than him, sitting behind Al, apparently reading with his head down】..."

……Um?

Su Ming'an looked up and saw Fu En staring at him with jealousy in his eyes.

"Who is this?" Vaughn gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and sneered, "Al, you didn't just pick up a random guy and think you had a sure win, did you?"

The tit-for-tat between the two heirs attracted everyone's attention. People held their wine glasses and looked at Su Ming'an's face. They had never seen Su Ming'an before, so they started to whisper.

Su Mingan was too lazy to respond. If he took off his disguise, these people would be scared to death.

He continued to read the story with his head down, and looked forward to the deeds of Fu En: "... [Fu En was born to be favored by the king and queen. In order to respond to his parents' expectations, he decided to be someone who would make them proud, so he came to participate in the selection of heirs. He is fearless and has everything, but he only loves the story of Si Que. His greatest wish is to be touched on the head by Si Que]..."

Uh.

Su Mingan closed the interface and stopped looking at it.

At this moment, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Silence fell.

Everyone looked towards the door.

Su Mingan followed the line of sight.

"Tap, tap."

A pair of snow boots decorated with fluffy white balls knocked twice on the ground, and a robe with alternating patterns of snow and sky blue floated by like dust and mist.

Her long ice-blue hair fluttered in the wind, and her pair of eyes as indifferent as snow swept silently across everyone, like a gust of light wind.

Su Mingan’s first reaction was that Beiwang had changed gender, and his second reaction was... this was probably one of the heirs.

The girl seemed to have long been accustomed to the gazes of the crowd and did not care about the admiration in their eyes. She was followed by a large group of supporters, most of whom were noble and superior races.

"Who is this?" Su Ming'an turned his head and asked Aini.

"Tianyu." Aini ate desserts crazily. "She is one of the candidates for the protagonist. She came to the Hell Plane today to participate in the selection of the God's Envoy. Otherwise, we would not be able to see her at all. After all, she is from the Sky Plane."

Su Mingan remembered the floating islands he saw at the beginning...it turned out that Tianyu came from there.

"What's her golden finger?"

"I don't know." Aini chewed the pudding: "But it is said that she is very strong. Anyone who challenges her is easily defeated by her. No one knows the principle of her golden finger."

Su Mingan understood. If the cheat codes were ranked, Xili's Lingquan would probably be T3, Shiying's favorability system would be T2, and Tianyu's unknown cheat code would be T1 or even T0.
