Chapter 269: Vampire Lanbo

"To distinguish that day, we people here all call it the Blood Moon Night, and yesterday just happened to be the Blood Moon Night."

The little rabbit continued to add.

After Xiaoxian relayed these words to Su Chen and the others, Su Chen finally realized that the blood-red moon he had seen yesterday was actually the work of that person.

It seemed this little rabbit had been hiding all day yesterday; it had thought it was safe today, only to be dug out by them.

It appeared that the reason they had seen almost no Spirit Beasts on the road today was likely because of this Blood Moon Night.

For a moment, they did not know whether to call themselves lucky or unlucky; they had just arrived in the Western Wasteland and had already avoided the Blood Moon Night, and even if they ran into that mysterious person next time, they would have several days to wait.

"Xiaoxian, ask the little rabbit if it knows where the Dragon Race and Mermaid Race tribes are."

After pondering slightly, Su Chen continued to speak.

Upon hearing that she might be able to go home, Xiaoxian nodded excitedly and impatiently began to ask the little rabbit.

When the little rabbit heard Xiaoxian's question, it was stunned for a moment, but after seeing Xiaoxian's gaze, which looked as if she were about to eat a rabbit, it hurriedly replied: "I am just a rabbit spirit with the lowest cultivation; the status of the Mermaid Race and the Dragon Race is very high, and it is simply not something a rabbit like me could know. I have told you everything I know, please don't eat me!"

After finishing, the little rabbit fearfully covered its eyes with its paws; the way it looked, it seemed as if Xiaoxian would swallow it whole the next moment.

After this was said, everyone was left between laughter and tears, though Su Chen hadn't held much hope after asking anyway.

At least they now understood the current situation in the Western Wasteland; that person's cultivation was so profound that they could make so many Spirit Beasts act with such trepidation—if nothing went wrong, it was the envoy sent to the Western Wasteland by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

Su Chen took some spiritual plants out of his Storage Ring and handed them to the rabbit, then said to Xiaoxian: "Xiaoxian, tell it that these carrots and vegetables are a reward for it, and tell it to find a safe place as soon as possible."

Although Xiaoxian was very interested in these plants rich in Spiritual Power, she was a carnivorous creature after all, so she very generously stuffed them all to the little rabbit.

The little rabbit had not expected that it would receive so many spiritual plants just for answering a question; it recognized at a glance that the quality of some of the plants was extraordinary, containing deep Spiritual Power, and after eating them, even its cultivation would improve by a few notches.

It was moved beyond words and hurriedly said to the group: "Thank you, thank you! If you want to find the tribes of the Mermaid Race and the Dragon Race, it is best to go further inside; the outskirts of the Western Wasteland are basically creatures with low cultivation like me."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded and led the others toward the depths of the Western Wasteland.

"Yi Zhuyue, do you think the person the little rabbit mentioned could be the envoy sent down by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor?"

Su Chen looked at Yi Zhuyue and asked tentatively.

"Based on what it said, I do have a candidate in mind."

Hearing this, Yi Zhuyue frowned, pondered for a long time, and then looked up and said, "Although we are both subordinates of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, we are actually not familiar with each other; at most, we are acquaintances who have crossed paths."

"According to my knowledge, there is only one person who could do such a thing—Lanbo."

Yi Zhuyue drew out the end of her sentence, her eyes already carrying a hint of solemnity.

As soon as she said this name, Su Chen's sealed memories were suddenly triggered.

When he had read this book before, wasn't there a character named Lanbo in it?

It was said that this Lanbo was of the Blood Clan, with a powerful background, and was one who drank blood and ate raw flesh; his methods were cruel, and he loved nothing more than eating humans and Spirit Beasts alive to increase his cultivation. It was said that he was so powerful that he had no rivals in the entire Tianxuan Continent, but for some reason, he had always stayed in the Western Wasteland, and was later killed due to the protagonist's halo.

At that time, after finishing the book, Su Chen had still been cursing that the protagonist's halo was too severe; now that he was in the situation himself, he truly hoped that Lanbo could die easily.

Moreover, according to the setting in reality, that Lanbo should be a vampire, so it was no wonder that every time he came out to forage, it was on a Blood Moon Night; after all, vampires were naturally afraid of light.

Thinking of this, Su Chen understood a little more.

"If you were to fight him, what are your chances of winning?"

Su Chen asked Yi Zhuyue.

"It's hard to say."

Yi Zhuyue's brow was full of solemnity, "When we were both subordinates of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, our cultivation levels were on par, but what he practices is not a righteous path; on the contrary, it is very sinister. Having swallowed Spirit Beasts in the Western Wasteland to improve his cultivation for so many years, his current strength is likely unfathomable."

Su Chen had already anticipated this when he asked, but hearing it from Yi Zhuyue's own mouth, he still felt the situation had become a few degrees more serious.

The strength of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor's four envoys was already like a mountain pressing heavily on their hearts, making them unable to breathe.

And the strength of their master, the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, would likely be even more terrifying.

For a moment, Su Chen felt his mission was heavy and the road was long, and he instantly accelerated his desire to work hard to improve his cultivation.

Improving strength was imminent.

The group continued to walk forward; because Natasha and Xiaoxian were there, even if they could encounter a few Spirit Beasts scattered about, they dared not come forward to harass them due to the pressure of their bloodlines.

For a time, the group's journey was considered smooth.

Walking like this, they traveled for three days.

There was basically no major gain along the way, but the group suddenly saw a dark pool of water in the distance, which looked out of place in the desolate and parched land of the wasteland.

For some reason, Su Chen inexplicably felt that there must be something he wanted in that place.

And Natasha had long been impatient; like attracts like, and she could feel the aura of the Mermaid Race within that pool.

Thinking of this, Natasha said to Su Chen with her consciousness: "I can feel the aura of my clansmen in the pool. It is so dangerous now that if you go over rashly, you might be strangled by them; let me go."

Su Chen nodded and let the others stand guard not far away; after all, hundreds of thousands of years had passed, and with Lanbo being so crazy, who knew what the Mermaid Race was like now.

In case they did not accept Natasha and even attacked her, he could help at the first opportunity.

Natasha was seen slowly jumping into the center of the pool, her long golden hair emitting a faint luster, her eyes carrying a faint sorrow. She stayed in the water for a short while, and then, her beautiful fish tail flapped rhythmically, stirring up faint splashes.

She was using the special communication method of their Mermaid Race, trying to establish contact with others. Her fingers moved slightly, and her beautiful eyes carried a faint light; she was extremely beautiful, like a fairy from heaven, stunningly beautiful beyond compare.
