Ding, detected a Level 10 Ghost Spirit, the "Infatuated Ghost," nearby. The host now has three options.
One: Play games with the Infatuated Ghost. Success rate: 0%. You will be killed...
In Xu Fan's view, lizards are clearly more aggressive than snakes, but he never expected that they would be far less attractive than snake people.
The world is truly full of wonders.
But the fat lizardman, who was truly in danger, was so nervous that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
It was Xu Fan who stepped in and smoothed things over for him.
"Please hold your hands. We are special envoys sent down from above. Our main purposes this time are twofold: first, to supervise the construction of the second underground level of the Bottomless Blood Pool; and second, to take this dragon lady home to visit her family."
At this moment, Daisis stepped forward and revealed his dragon horns and tail.
At this moment, the two snake-like beings respectfully performed a gesture of respect, touching their foreheads.
They placed their hands on their foreheads and then bowed at a 90-degree angle.
"So it is a special envoy who has arrived. I was blind to your greatness. Please forgive me."
Then they put down their spears and spared the fat lizardman's life.
By this time, the fat lizardman's clothes were already soaked, especially his pants, which were completely drenched as if they had been submerged in water.
"I am deeply grateful to the two special envoys for saving my life. I will never be able to repay this kindness. When the special envoys visit the second underground level of the Bottomless Blood Pool again, I will definitely host a banquet to entertain you both."
The fat lizardman's words reminded Xu Fan of the wild game he had eaten in the shed, the maggots and zombie meat still vivid in his mind, instantly making him feel nauseous.
Xu Fan quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from actually vomiting.
The fat lizardman misunderstood, thinking that Xu Fan shed tears because he was moved.
He quickly stepped forward and said in a fawning tone.
"This human envoy seems particularly touched by our service. I will definitely prepare double for you next time you come."
"No, no, please don't. Just don't include me when you host a banquet for the special envoy in the future."
Xu Fan quickly waved his hand to stop the lizardmen's frantic fawning.
Guided by two acquaintances, they descended the spiral staircase to the third basement level.
This is the habitat of the snake people, and their living conditions are much better than on the second basement level.
This area is primarily a market, a gathering place for merchants. Many lizardmen or even higher-level dragons come here to exchange goods.
The snake people here are also very good at business, and the common currency here is a special fruit called Blood Bodhi.
It is a fruit that grows on a unique Blood Bodhi tree on the third underground level. It is said that people associated with the vampire clan will have their power enhanced after eating the Blood Bodhi.
Other races who consume the Blood Bodhi will also have a bloody aura in their attacks, making it an excellent tonic.
Here, they usually use this as a form of currency to exchange for goods with people on other floors.
Xu Fan turned and ran towards the two snake-men beside him.
"Do any of you have any Bodhi seeds with you? I'd like to buy something."
As soon as the envoy spoke, the two snake-men leading the way immediately began rummaging through their pockets.
Unfortunately, the two snake-men who were guarding the gate did not come from wealthy families, and all that could be found on them were four Bodhi seeds.
Xu Fan smiled as he tucked the four blood bodhi seeds into his pocket.
He couldn't be bothered to trade Blood Bodhi with others; his main goal was to collect as many Blood Bodhi as possible to feed Daisis.
This way, he wouldn't have to steal blood bags from the blood bank every time to provide her with nutrition.
The market on the third floor was bustling with activity, and many little snake people were playing happily.
In the tradition of snake people, walking and crawling on one's tail is a symbol of nobility, while children's tails are not yet strong enough to be trained, so they can only run on their two legs.
This strange custom piqued Xu Fan's curiosity.
He immediately conjured up his true energy, simulating a fake snake tail.
Then, using the Blood Glaze of Ten Thousand Demons as support, he continued to crawl forward.
At the same time, he straightened his back to make himself look more energetic.
Meanwhile, the Blood Glaze of Ten Thousand Demons, which serves as the lower body, is constantly swaying, providing forward momentum.
Xu Fan's unusual action immediately attracted the attention of the snake people around him.
Wow, he's amazing!
"Yes, yes, he is clearly a snake-man, but he can hide his scales and become completely human."
"Could this be some noble lord?"
The snake dealers in the market all stopped what they were doing to watch Xu Fan and Daisy.
Tired of being stared at, Daisis immediately revealed his dragon horns and tail to demonstrate his status and power.
"Oh my, this is even more incredible! It's actually a noble dragon!"
"These two must be high-caste nobles; they're not people we can afford to offend!"
The tone of the crowd changed from admiration to awe.
They knelt before Xu Fan and Daisy, offering the blood bodhi from their pockets as a sacrifice.
Originally, Daisis didn't want to accept them, but Xu Fan, that shameless guy, directly turned the Myriad Demon Blood Glaze into a vacuum cleaner, absorbing all the Blood Bodhi offered as tribute.
Is this really the right thing for us to do?
"What's the big deal? It's like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai; one is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit."
Xu Fan accepted the gifts with a clear conscience, and those around him were equally happy to give them to him.
The two snake-men who were leading the way became even more respectful towards Xu Fan and Daisy.
They practically wanted to kneel down and fawn over the two gods.
Amidst the commotion, a giant snake-man, over three meters tall, brandished a whip, driving away the surrounding worshippers.
“Go back, go back, all of you go back! Are you not doing business anymore? Are you not working anymore? Do you have so many blood bodhi beads that you don’t know where to put them? Then come and pay your taxes.”
I'm telling you, the tax for the second half of the year is due the day after tomorrow, and any shop that hasn't collected 300 blood bodhi seeds will be shut down.
Don't blame me for not warning you, this is the rule on the third level of our Bottomless Blood Pool.
A snake-man dressed in tattered clothes collapsed at the feet of the tall snake-man.
"Lord Huang Mang, please be merciful. We have three little snake people in our family who need to make a living, and they haven't learned how to do business yet."
Please, please leave us some capital so we can open a small shop too.
To everyone's surprise, the giant snake-man, who was called Lord Huang Mang, was completely ungrateful and actually stretched out his human-like foot and kicked the snake-man who was dressed in tattered clothes hard.
"You damned old snake-man, our taxes are collected per capita. Who told your wife to give birth to so many children?"
The same thing as before: if you can't pay your taxes, all your shops will have to close down!
After saying that, Lord Huang Mang brandished his whip and lashed it across the old snake-man's head.
The old snake-man could only close his eyes and wait for death.
He knew that Lord Huang Mang's whip strike was earth-shattering.
Even the hardest blood diamond can be cracked, let alone one's own fragile head.
But after waiting for a long time, the pain he had imagined did not come, and he slightly opened his eyes.
A tall, blood-red snake-man stood in front of him, blocking Lord Huang Mang's earth-shattering whip with just his bare hands.
"I, Xu Fan, hate those who bully the old and weak the most in my life. A bully like you doesn't deserve to live."
