Natural enemies

The last time he logged on to that website was already five full years ago. He saw his name on it that day, and he was listed on the death list of the Fanzhuo family. Members in the dark too.

He hasn't been to the forum since then, not out of sadness or disappointment, or even emotion at the news of his death, but relief—his name is listed as such, indicating that after a lengthy search, the People finally decided that he was "dead" and gave up tracking him, so he could finally live a peaceful life.

However, even with all kinds of resentment, he still had to maintain a three-point respect for that person, not because of his blood, but because of his means and abilities.Back then, when he quietly escaped from the maze and took a few things with him, it was tantamount to disrupting that person's plan completely, and it was tantamount to stabbing him severely in the back.However, these years, he watched that person regain control of the situation, and even sat in that position more securely than before.

Unlike ordinary high-ranking blood races, he sticks to tradition and is unwilling to follow the changes in the human world.He was the one who started this forum, not long after the internet came along.At first, few blood races were willing to use it, but now, almost all young blood races under ten generations have accepted it, and the acceptance rate of blood races from seven to nine generations is also very high.

A forum may not look like much, but for the conservative, arrogant, and often independent vampires, the changes here are subtle.Louis Vatican, the name that now appears in the mouths of young blood clansmen, is no longer just the Earl of Vatican and the patriarch of the Vatican clan.After all, although that title is dignified and majestic, it doesn't matter much to the blood clans of other clans. They will be afraid and respectful, but they will not be easily called and attracted.

It's a pity that most of the people who can be united by this method are young blood races, and for the blood races, the saying "the world belongs to young people" does not apply.The way bloodlines are produced determines that bloodlines and generations play an irreplaceable role in them, which makes it difficult to break the hierarchy between bloodlines, so it is doomed that things like "reform" can only be done from top to bottom, not from top to bottom. Bottom up.

If you want to break this tradition and make the strength of the young blood race strong enough, the quantity alone is not enough. It needs a qualitative change, that is, to enhance the power of the young blood race.Generally speaking, there are two ways to increase the strength of the blood race. The first is the most common way, which is to increase the generation, which is the so-called exchange of blood.

Blood exchange is a method similar to the first embrace. It is carried out by a blood race higher than one's "father". .

This method is fast, convenient, and easy to implement. The only trouble is: whether you can be favored by a higher-level blood race, so that he is willing to lose his own blood to improve your strength.After all, for vampires, although they have a recovery speed far exceeding that of humans, they do not have the ability of humans to circulate blood.Losing blood is an important thing. If a large amount of blood is lost, it will cause a decline in strength, and in severe cases, it will be difficult to recover from a deep sleep, and some will even fall into an eternal sleep and never wake up.Therefore, the method of raising generations can only be aimed at individuals and cannot be used universally.

Then there is another way, that is, the ability is mutated.This method is actually more popular among heterogeneous species. It is generally based on taking various magic potions to improve abilities. Those with better luck can obtain some special weapons or utensils, which can also increase their own strength by a large part.It's just that the latter can be encountered but not sought after, while the former is a more reliable way.It's just that this method has little effect on the blood race, so it is not popular among the blood race.

However, that was in the past, not necessarily now.

Gu Yi put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling.At least Onani—forget it, it’s easier to call Wangcai—the sanguinary vampire he met must not appear normally.So - is it possible that it's an experiment?Moreover, it was a failed experiment.

But, if it is really an experimental product, how did it get to China?The roots of the blood clan are in Europe and the United States, and Asia is not the sphere of influence.Although the development of modern transportation has allowed some blood races to see the vast world of Asia, but there is its own order here, and, for some reason, it seems that yellow people are not suitable to become vampires.Perhaps it is because of racial differences that easily cause blood conflicts. The success rate of First Embrace is surprisingly low. For example, he himself hardly survived at the beginning.

Although it was an old event more than 100 years ago, Gu Yi couldn't help shivering when recalling the feeling of burning blood all over his body at that time, as if even his immortal soul twitched from the inside out.

But after surviving, his ability is excellent among the blood clans of the same generation.First Embrace retains the advantages of speed and agility that he had as a human being to the greatest extent, and partially makes up for his shortcoming, which is the defect in absolute strength.If not, he would not be able to come and go freely in the core areas of the clans, and even the heavily protected sacred artifacts would be in his pocket, let alone pass through the mazes and see the Holy No. 1 of the blood clan...

sleep!Gu Yi forced himself to suppress the chaotic thoughts, pulled the quilt over his head.Now he should sleep like a normal person, because he has to go to work like a normal person at night, and if he misses any documents when he went to Haitian with Tang Ji, he has to be prepared to be reprimanded by Vice President Zhang. This is the life an ordinary person should live.

For Gu Yi, sleep is actually no longer necessary, but it also has an advantage, that is, when he wants to sleep, he can immediately force himself to fall asleep.However, after all, there is still one thing that he cannot control, and that is the dream.

Surrounded by bright red color and filled with gray mist, all the passages are exactly the same, as if they will never end.This is the labyrinth, and all blood races who come in, whether they enter by mistake or are careerists with other purposes, will all disappear without a trace and will never appear again.

In fact, he didn't even think about going out.Although he holds a corpse hand, and this left hand is said to hold the secrets of the world, so what?Even if it can lead him out of the maze and go all the way to the ancestor of the blood race, can he still fight the ancestor?

The difference between the first generation and the sixth generation is not just a difference in numbers, it represents a huge gap that cannot be bridged at all, and the terrifying oppression of the superiors on the inferiors like Mount Tai.Even if he holds the soul ring and the butcher's knife, I'm afraid it's completely powerless.

In fact, this is also quite good. Since the wish of that person cannot be fulfilled, let him be buried in the maze with these hard-earned things. This is not only the fulfillment of the promise made at the beginning, but also revenge for him. Well no more.

The corpse hand was held in his left hand. Although it had been cut off for thousands of years, the skin still remained elastic, as if it was still growing on the body.On the slender middle finger, she wore a gold ring that was already a bit dull in color, with a light pink oval diamond set in the middle.

This ring is actually not very in line with the preferences of the blood race.First of all, the style of the ring setting is too simple, just a plain ring with a ring setting.Secondly, the color of the diamond is too light, and the vampires generally prefer rubies that are as bright as blood.

However, this ring is said to have been there when the hand was cut off, and for so many years, no one has been able to take it off the dead hand—to be precise, touching the dead hand is fine, but if you want to do anything to it It is impossible to change, for example, take out even a drop of blood from it-this sacred artifact of the Vanjo family, even after leaving the body of the ancestor, is still protected by a mysterious force, which is why some blood clans believe that the ancestor The basis for not falling.

However, even this part of the blood race believed that even if the ancestor had not fallen, he should have fallen into a deep sleep, and might even have fallen into an eternal sleep.After all, the power of the third-generation blood race is known as "close to gods". Even with the suppression of blood, it is not easy to eliminate them.Otherwise, the first ancestor would not have had his left hand cut off, and there would have been no news for thousands of years, and he would not have even come to recover this left hand.

The maze filled with gray mist seems to make people's minds gradually dull.The unchanging environment and the seemingly endless passage make people's eyelids heavy and their steps heavy.In the entire maze, he seemed to be the only living creature—no, are undead creatures still alive?After all, they even dispute whether the soul still exists, maybe it is not as good as the butcher's knife in his right hand, at least the souls of 500 million dead are sealed in it, and there are still screams of pain and desire to kill inside the butcher's knife from time to time, still is alive.

The mind is dull, but the thinking is divergent.Gu Yi was imagining in this monotonous walk.If the blood race has no soul, then what is the use of the soul ring?

This sacred artifact of the Makawi clan now hangs on his chest with a thin gold chain.Compared with the ring on the corpse's hand, this soul ring has more characteristics of the blood clan: on the shiny gold ring setting, each mantra is a complicated and gorgeous flower body, surrounded by other patterns, like a cluster of flourishing flowers The branches and tendrils together hold up the bright red gemstone in the center.

Soul rings can control people's thoughts, which is equally effective for vampires, especially in terms of inducing evil desires, and its efficacy even exceeds that of the devil in hell.Maybe that's how the crazy gene of the McAvey tribe came from. Guarding such a holy artifact, probably even angels would fall.

If so, vampires should have the same soul as humans?After all, in the first embrace, what was sucked dry was only the blood of being a human being, not the soul.

But if it is extended in this way, then the soul of a human being can ascend to heaven and become an angel after death, can the blood race also do it?Then blood race and angel, it seems that they may also be equated?

A soft laugh rang in my ears, low and hoarse, with a power to confuse people's mind: "Your idea is very interesting, I have also thought about it..."

"Come here, I haven't seen such an interesting junior for a long time, not to mention you brought my left hand."

"You have the blood of the Vanjo family, why do you still carry the sacred artifacts of the McAvey and Giovanni tribe?"

"Seeking the unification of the thirteen clans? Haha, it is impossible for human beings to have complete unification. How can there be any unification of blood clans transformed from humans? The so-called unification is nothing more than the absolute crushing of power. You are here today Come, do you also want to gain power?"

"Do you regret being a blood race? You want to go back to the sun? Even I can't do this."

"It is said that my left hand hides the secrets of the world, but it is not. It does have secrets, but it has nothing to do with the left hand. It is on this ring. More precisely, it is in this gem. It can Satisfying your wish, from a certain point of view, is giving you a new world. So it is not wrong to say that it hides the secrets of the world..."

"But do you know what is waiting for you outside the maze now?"

Gu Yi couldn't perceive the outside of the maze.There is a special power here, which can even cut off the induction between the blood of the blood.However, he didn't need to perceive him to know the answer. He acted without authorization and took away three sacred artifacts. How could that person let him go?

If he entered the labyrinth to fulfill that person's wish, he would be useless when he went out with the blood of the ancestor.At that time, he will of course be responsible for the theft of the sacred artifacts of the McAvey and Giovanni clans, so what awaits him must be severe punishment or even death.

And if he has already betrayed that person, then there is no need to doubt, he will be a sinner who stole the sacred artifact of the three clans, and tried to disturb the deep sleep of the ancestor, steal blood to upgrade the level, and of course there is only death waiting for him.

Maybe death is also good, since he can no longer turn back, then there is only death left in front of him. Don't all living things return to the embrace of death in the end?

"Do you want to die?"

"...No..." Gu Yi felt that his thinking had stopped moving, but almost instinctively, he still gave a negative answer.Even if his relatives have passed away, even if falling in love is just a scam, even if he can never walk in the sun again, he still wants to live, because only in life can there be hope.

A soft laugh sounded again: "Very interesting answer. You don't look like a qualified blood race, so this wish can be granted."

"Satisfy?"

"Take off the ring. That diamond can fulfill your wish." The deep voice seemed to be filled with a sense of regret, "Do you know what it is? Thousands of years ago, I had a promise—if One day, if I sincerely repent, I can get rid of my identity as a blood race and return to being a human..."

"But I don't want to repent, there is nothing to repent. Although I know that I can use it without repentance, but since the promise says so, I will not use it without repentance. Now, I give it to you gone."

"But you can't use it now. Because if you use it, you will lose all the ability to resist, and I can't leave the maze, so there is only one way. I can give you a drop of blood. If you can bear it, maybe in the future you Then you can fulfill your wish and return to the world..."
