Latest website: After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he still maintained a faint smile.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that when the other party was already shaken, he was already half successful.

If they continue to press, the other party will only bring out the dilemma of the "Blood Feast Ceremony" to resist the entanglement, and waste each other's time in a stalemate.

Therefore, instead of allowing the other party to take a breather in the entanglement process, it is better to propose it first and actively promote the next process.

After all, helping the other party repair the barrier is the purpose of our trip, and it is also the key to the other party's ability to send troops.

And in the process of repair, you will wait for opportunities to open up the other half of the road to success.

"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, on the premise that our Iron Hand Islands have not yet formed an alliance with your country, are you still willing to help?"

Seeing Lei Xiao so happy, the Scarlet Queen began to feel uneasy.

"Because I believe that helping you is helping myself."

Lei Xiao threw out the classic words again and said with a smile: "Winter is close at hand. It is better to have a friend than an enemy. It is better to stay together for warmth than to shiver alone."

After listening to Lei Xiao's words, the senior leaders of the vampire clan fell silent, looking like they didn't know what to say.

Only the Scarlet Queen stared at Lei Xiao for a while, and then said: "Then please leave it to His Highness the Holy Lion Prince."

After saying that, the Scarlet Queen stood up from her seat, nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "Your Highness, please come with me. We'll talk as we walk."

After the guidance of the Scarlet Queen, Lei Xiao and his party did not walk out of the dark king's hall, but stopped in front of the platform where the throne was located at the end of the hall.

I saw the Scarlet Queen rubbing a corner of the platform a few times, followed by a faint wave of magic power, a "rumbling" sound, and a deep downward passage slowly appeared on the ground.

"Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, please follow me. This is the biggest secret of our Iron Hand Islands, and it is also the core of the "Blood Feast Ceremony". "

The Scarlet Queen first nodded to Lei Xiao, and then waved her hand, and the entire passage suddenly shone with rows of magic light balls, becoming brightly lit.

Under the leadership of the Scarlet Queen and the senior members of the vampire clan, Lei Xiao and his group went down the deep passage and soon arrived at a rather vast underground space.

This looks like a natural cave, but the surrounding stone walls have obviously been repaired and polished, and shine with a frosted texture under the reflection of the magic light ball.

"More than a hundred years ago, after the first queen of the Blood Tribe was crowned, our Iron Hand Islands expelled all neutral forces and diplomats from other countries, and completely isolated themselves from the world. The purpose was precisely to prevent the "Blood Feast Ceremony" from happening. Disturbed smooth progress. "

The Scarlet Queen described to Lei Xiao while continuing to move in the underground space.

"In the following years, although the three neutral forces and other human nations all wanted to figure out why the Iron Hand Islands did what they did, after batch after batch of investigators returned without success, they just couldn't figure it out. Gradually I put this matter behind me.”

"After all, there is still the barrier of the sea. They are convinced that as long as they pay attention to precautions, even if there is any change in the Iron Hand Islands, there will be no waves."

At this point, a trace of disdain could not help but appear on the Scarlet Queen's fair and graceful face.

"However, it is precisely because of their arrogance that our Iron Hand Islands were able to successfully perform the "Blood Feast Ceremony". "

After saying that, the Scarlet Queen raised her eyebrows at Lei Xiao again: "As for the specific content of the "Blood Feast Ceremony", His Highness must have already guessed it, right? "

"Is it to convert all the races in the Iron Hand Archipelago into "members of the blood race"? "

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded immediately.

"That's right, the "Blood Feast Ceremony" has only one effect, and that is to allow all races to have the long lifespan and regeneration ability of vampires. Some humans with extraordinary talents can even awaken certain advanced vampires to have the ability. With his noble characteristics, the cultivation talent in his body has also increased significantly. "

The Scarlet Queen affirmed Lei Xiao's words and added: "The most important thing is that the "Blood Feast Ceremony" can also allow the transformers to maintain some of the abilities of the vampires without having to **** blood, and there are almost no disadvantages. "

"How on earth is this done?"

Lei Xiao's face was full of curiosity and he immediately asked.

"His Royal Highness will know this in a moment."

The Scarlet Queen's fair face became serious, but she couldn't help but sigh.

"understood."

Noticing the change in the other party's expression, Lei Xiao changed the subject and asked again: "Speaking of which, the total area of ​​the Iron Hand Islands is also huge. How did you spread the effect of the "Blood Feast Ceremony"? To the entire country? "

"It's very simple. We have set up several small unmanned magic towers exclusive to the "Blood Feast Ceremony" on each island according to the size of the area. "

The Scarlet Queen's high heels echoed in the underground space.

Just listen to her reply: "These thousands of magic towers are connected to each other, forming a huge magic network, enough to cover the "Blood Feast Barrier" generated by the "Blood Feast Ceremony" to the Iron Hand Islands any corner, including the surrounding sea areas. "

"That's it. I didn't expect it to be such a huge project."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the invalid barrier mentioned by Jiang Li refers to the "Blood Feast Barrier" mentioned by the Scarlet Queen, which is the key to maintaining the life of "a member of the blood clan".

It has to be said that this is almost the same as the transmission network.

"To be honest with His Highness the Holy Lion Prince, in fact, this plan has been secretly carried out since the last human royal family of the Iron Hand Islands was in office. It is also the long-cherished wish of the other party."

The Scarlet Queen did not hide anything from Lei Xiao and continued: "After all, the Iron Hand Islands suffered heavy losses in the previous war with the Kingdom of Grim. Even members of the royal family died one after another until they finally lost their heirs, let alone ordinary people. the people.”

"And once you become a "member of the blood clan" through the "Blood Feast Ceremony", not only will your life span be greatly extended, but your own strength will also be greatly increased, which will greatly enhance the overall strength of the Iron Hand Islands. "

"More importantly, this is much more appropriate than simply expanding the population."

"After all, although the land of the Iron Hand Islands is relatively fertile, it is still difficult to maintain self-sufficiency when a famine comes due to the fact that the Grim Kingdom and the Pars Empire jointly block the coastline from time to time."

"And the cost of owning an elite army is much lower than supplying a large number of ordinary forces, whether in terms of equipment, food, or other costs."

"As for our vampire clan, we naturally agree with this plan. After having no choice but to move to the Iron Hand Islands, our vampire clan's strength is already very low."

"And selecting the best from the talented human race and then completely transforming them into real vampires will also enhance the strength of my vampire race."

After listening to the Scarlet Queen's introduction, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

In this way, the whole story becomes clear.

The "Blood Feast Ceremony" of the Iron Hand Islands was finally completed with the joint promotion of the human royal family and the vampire clan.

However, when the "Blood Feast Ceremony" was actually implemented, the human royal family no longer existed.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the Scarlet Queen's rather helpless voice sounded again.

"However, what we never expected was that although the "Blood Feast Ceremony" was finally successfully completed, it would become a shackle that bound our Iron Hand Islands itself. "

"This is really an extremely ironic thing."

As soon as the Scarlet Queen said this, the other vampire ministers shook their heads helplessly.

"Is it because outside the coverage area of ​​the "Blood Feast Barrier", the humans who were transformed into "members of the blood clan" cannot maintain their normal state for a long time? "

Lei Xiao immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Just like the current situation, under the premise that the "Blood Feast Barrier" has expired, the entire human race in the country has fallen into a coma. state. "

"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince is really quick in thinking. This is exactly the predicament the Iron Hand Islands are currently encountering."

The Scarlet Queen's voice was full of weakness, and she shook her head and said: "Although the soldiers will not faint immediately like ordinary people depending on their own strength, they still cannot persevere, and eventually this situation occurs."

"If this continues, the people will soon die one after another because they cannot maintain their own blood constitution."

The Scarlet Queen's voice was full of regret: "This is completely different from what we imagined at the beginning."

"Originally, we thought that after a period of time after becoming "members of the blood clan", the people would slowly get rid of the shackles of the "Blood Feast Barrier". "

"But a hundred years have passed, and we have tried countless times, but found that the people are still unable to live normally outside the barrier, and even using blood to maintain it cannot play a decisive role."

After hearing what the Scarlet Queen said, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then asked: "Then why are children under a hundred years old not affected by the disappearance of the barrier?"

"We have also studied this in detail because the vampire physique of children is not perfect yet. Once it exceeds a certain critical point, they will still faint like ordinary people."

The Scarlet Queen, who was leading the way, nodded to Lei Xiao and responded: "This has caused the current weird phenomenon. Only children are active in every corner of this country."

"But if the "Blood Feast Barrier" cannot be restored, these children will one day encounter the same situation and lose their lives completely. "

As the Scarlet Queen's sad words fell, the rest of the vampire ministers also had solemn expressions on their faces, and even their steps became a little heavier.

It is not difficult to see from this that although the blood race rules this human country, it still has some responsibilities and responsibilities.

This can also be seen from the description of the little girl Bella. The big shots of the Vampire Clan have always had nothing to do with ordinary people, and they are even extremely amiable.

At this point, the last of the three previous questions was solved.

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Your Majesty, don't you have any other way to change this?"

"To be honest with His Highness the Holy Lion Prince, the research on this matter has never stopped for hundreds of years, but still nothing has been found. After all, the secret method of the "Blood Feast Ceremony" itself was accidentally learned from somewhere in the ancient time of the blood clan. What was found in the ruins has no way of referring to previous cases. "

The Scarlet Queen lowered her eyebrows and sighed: "Now it seems that this decision was too hasty."

"At least His Majesty and everyone present have allowed the people of the Iron Hand Islands to live a century of stability."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly to the Scarlet Queen, and then changed the topic: "Since there is no solution for the time being, let's first find a way to restore the normal operation of the "Blood Feast Barrier". "

After he finished speaking, a hint of curiosity appeared on Lei Xiao's face again.

At present, most of the things about the "Blood Feast Ceremony" are very clear. The only thing that still confuses me is just a little bit.

That is how the "Blood Feast Ceremony" works, so that it can transform all the human races in the entire country into possessing the characteristics of the blood race? It's unimaginable.

Just as Lei Xiao showed curiosity, the same look appeared vaguely in the eyes of our subordinates who were surrounded by alert expressions.

"Everyone, we have arrived at our destination."

Not long after, the clear voice of the Scarlet Queen sounded again.

She stood beside a fenced platform, nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, you will know after you come and take a look."

"Understood."

Lei Xiao responded and quickly came to the other party's side.

After standing next to the opponent, Lei Xiao looked outside the fence, his face full of surprise and shock.

Right below the platform, UU Reading www.uukanshu． ｃcom is an extremely wide deep depression with almost no end as far as the eye can see.

After the reflection of the magic light ball, I saw that the surface of the depression was covered with bright red blood lines like spider webs. The widest ones were several meters wide and the thinnest ones were about the width of an arm. They were evenly distributed in every corner of the depression. .

These blood lines of varying widths are like the meridians in the human body. They are extremely thick near the center, and branch out more and more finely toward the outside, extending all the way to the depths of the earth.

While being shocked by this blood-red scene, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked toward the center of the depression.

A half-slender figure wrapped in countless blood lines then appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

However, when Lei Xiao mobilized all his energy and finally saw the face of that slender figure clearly, his eyes widened with a look of surprise on his face.

Although the slender figure had her eyes closed and her face was as pale as paper, her appearance was exactly the same as that of the Scarlet Queen next to her, making it almost impossible to tell them apart. (End of chapter)
