"It hurts so much! Please stop shining this light on me!"

Desis roared and spewed flames from his mouth, instantly burning the light sources to ashes.

"We don't mean anything by it, we just want you to return to your original form and not be too defensive."

The archdeacon slowly approached Daisis and gently tapped Daisis's forehead with his scepter.

Daisis was frozen in place, as if under a spell, unable to move.

Her entire body was covered in patches of crimson scales.

A pair of dragon horns grew from its head, and a thick, blood-red dragon tail grew from its back.

The fangs she used to disguise herself as a vampire had fallen off, and her eyes had changed from blood red to vertical pupils like those of a cold-blooded animal.

Xu Fan then realized that what Daisis had told him before was all a lie. The ones enslaved in the bottomless blood pool were not vampires, but descendants of dragons.

The dragons are imprisoned here by the vampires and a mysterious organization, who provide them with an endless supply of fresh dragon blood.

This is why the key to unlocking the Dragon Clan's secret treasure is located deep within the Earth's core on Ghost Island.

The system will then prompt him to come to the Bottomless Blood Pool first, complete the vampire mission, and then head to the Dragon Bone Tomb.

It seems that Daisis, who joined him halfway through the journey, is the key to breaking the deadlock.

However, when Daisis revealed his true colors to Xu Fan, even Xu Fan, who had seen many storms, couldn't help but gasp in shock.

It was a true Western dragon, over 8 meters long.

The two pairs of dragon wings have a total length of 13 meters when spread out.

Its head was covered in scales, and its golden vertical pupils stared at people, making them feel cold and terrified.

Blood-red light burst forth from the enormous dragon horns.

"Xu Fan, help me!"

Despite her enormous size and agile movements, Daisy pleaded with Xu Fan like a little girl.

Xu Fan stood still, knowing that there were at least twenty experts lurking in the darkness of the blood-red palace.

They were all quietly waiting for Xu Fan to make a move, and they would swarm him at the slightest sign of trouble.

All Xu Fan can do now is remain calm and wait to see what the other side is really up to.

"Everyone, disperse!"

Unexpectedly, the archdeacon spoke first, raising his staff high. A pale blue light burst forth from the staff, and the experts who had been lurking in the darkness vanished.

Then the archdeacon raised his hand, and eight fireballs were arranged in a circle.

It flew rapidly in eight directions toward the crimson palace and then landed steadily on the chandelier fixed to the corridor.

The fireball thrown by the archdeacon illuminated the entire blood-red palace.

This allows Xu Fan to see the actual things around him clearly.

It was a huge castle-like building, and the interior was extremely luxurious.

At the front is an upward staircase, with bottomless corridors on both sides.

The lobby on the first floor is exquisitely decorated and luxuriously furnished.

Bathed in the glow of the chandelier's flames, the enormous portrait displayed on the wallpaper appeared remarkably lifelike.

It seems that the figures in this portrait are from the vampire clan throughout history.

They were all dressed in Western medieval aristocratic attire.

In terms of titles, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons were all represented.

It seems that vampires have always held aristocratic status.

Upon closer inspection, some of the portraits depict beautiful noblewomen, but their complexions do not resemble those of vampires, as they are not as pale.

It also lacks the signature fangs and long, blood-red nails.

Instead, they resembled human nobles, exuding elegance and grace, displaying a noble air.

This corresponds to the scene depicted on the gate of the Blood Palace and the stories of the sculptures continuously carved on the corridors.

In ancient times, vampires and humans intermarried, and the children born from their union possessed abilities far exceeding those of ordinary vampires.

This is why the original vampire ancestors would find human women, fall in love with them, and have offspring.

Below each portrait, the subject's age, birth and death dates are written in great detail.

Human lifespan is often very short.

They are unable to stay with their partners for a long time.

There are only two choices when facing them: one is to become a Transformer, so that they can stay by the side of the original leader for a long time.

Another factor is that as the years go by and time passes, their age eventually has a limit, and they turn to dust with the arrival of death.

It seems that very few human women apply to become transformants; most of them die peacefully in their old age, with an average age of around 84.

Therefore, a vampire noble who is a native will often have more than a dozen human female companions.

After living out their hundred-year lifespan, they will step down from the position of leader and hand it over to a younger vampire.

The mysterious organization was quite meticulous; they didn't remove the vampires' decorations and continued to oppress and exploit the dragon descendants alongside them.

A special crystal chandelier hung above Daisy's head, and the strange light emanated from this chandelier.

The beam of light that shines on dragons causes them extremely painful damage and also makes them lose their abilities.

In the end, he can only revert to his original form and be at the mercy of others.

This is why they were able to control the originally powerful dragon race.

The proud dragons considered this a disgrace, but there was nothing they could do about it.

In order to ensure the continuation of their race, they had to compromise.

After all, only by living can there be hope for the revival of the race.

Unfortunately, Daisy, who had just escaped, walked right into the trap.

His helper, Xu Fan, had actually sided with the enemy.

This was something that the entire high command of the Dragon Clan had never anticipated.

The vice-bishop then handed the choice directly to Xu Fan.

He believed that Xu Fan himself was quite capable and would be a great help to the entire organization.

Xu Fan can help them correct the mistakes of human society, cleanse it of its filth, and transform the entire human society into God's Garden of Eden.

All they had to do was turn those mysterious creatures into servants of those noble humans, making them work for them, serve them, and create a new world where humans were supreme.

This was a slogan put forward by the most extreme groups after the resurgence of terror.

Among this group of people is a mysterious organization, which is most capable of realizing this political aspiration.

"The road ahead has been paved; please make your choice!"

The archdeacon raised his staff high above his head.

As the staff flashed with a dazzling seven-colored light, the entire room seemed almost unreal.

Then everything around them changed dramatically, transforming into the vast and boundless universe.

The archdeacon and Xu Fan stood in the void, with two glowing orbs of light in front of them.

One is red and the other is blue.

"Xu Fan, make your own choice!"
