Alan barely looked up, then looked at Phoenix, who was looking at him. He also has a last resort, which is to use the limited ability to fake death once a day. But at this moment, the environment is dangerous, and once Phoenix kills the killer, the scorching temperature is enough to destroy Allen's body after faking his death twice. At that time, Alan will really have no skills.

"In the end, may I ask why you are so hungry for death?" Allen's voice was rather harsh.

Phoenix crouched down and sat down beside Allen, his hot flame armor fading out, forming a slink-like armor on his body.

"Honestly, I envy you guys with pure blood. Once upon a time, I also wished that I could have my own family name and an ancient surname that has been passed down for a long time, just like you. However, since the birth of the self, none of this has existed. ”

As if recalling the unbearable past, Phoenix was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "I am an orphan, and my life has been to prove how humble my origins must have been, in my own people, who are proud of their pure blood. ”

Alan smiled reluctantly: "Identity and status are really that important." Look at you now, you're already one of the strongest people in the younger generation of blood clans, aren't you? You're living like this, aren't you? ”

Phoenix sighed: "Indeed, I thought the same way a hundred years ago, I worked hard to cultivate, even if I was a little-known escort captain in a small family, for me, such a life was enough. I didn't have any ambitions to become of myself, and I didn't have any ambitions. At this point, Phoenix couldn't help but pause for a moment, then continued, "But, one day a hundred years ago. That all changed. You know, I accidentally broke into the territory of the undead during a family escort mission? The worst part is that there is a virus experiment going on in that territory. All the people who traveled with me died, but I was the only one who survived, with a body that had been modified by the virus. ”

Alan looked at Phoenix in surprise, and the other party also looked at Allen, and then smiled: "That's right, I'm not a blood anymore." My body has been infected by the virus of the undead, and now, even I don't know what I belong to. And the power of this powerful immortal bird's bloodline is the product of the combination of my blood and the virus. Now, do you understand why I am bent on death! ”

Alan suddenly laughed, and laughed loudly. The violent movement caused blood to burst out of his already chapped skin in an instant. Phoenix looked at Alan coldly, and a hideous look appeared on his face: "What, my past is funny?" ”

Alan shook his head. He looked at Phoenix, and the pitch-black lines began to wrap around his face, and under the surprised gaze of the other party, Alan revealed his true appearance: "I'm just happy." I found a real kind. ”

Phoenix stood up suddenly, he involuntarily took a few steps backwards to stabilize his figure, and then stared at Alan in shock, and began to look up and down carefully.

"It can't be. That's impossible! Phoenix almost screamed.

Alan endured the sharp pain in his body, and he slowly stood up. Then he looked at Phoenix and said, "You read that right, I also have a hybrid of the Bloods and the Undead. Strictly speaking, I became an undead first, and then I had my own blood core. That's the only thing that sets me apart from you. But in many ways, we should be of the same kind, right? ”

Phoenix walked slowly towards Allen, and then kept looking at the other party's body, he could feel the terrifying virus energy in Allen's body. It was an energy that was higher than any virus he had ever seen, and something even more terrifying was there, and he even made Phoenix feel a hint of fear from the depths of his soul.

"What's the virus on you?" Phoenix asked with a solemn expression.

"I think you've heard of it!" At this moment, Alan finally stood up straight, and the charred skin began to fall off one by one. The prototype virus finally fully recovered its vitality at this moment, and began to frantically restore Allen's broken body, "Prototype body! ”

When he heard these three words, Phoenix's body trembled involuntarily, and finally he stabilized his mind, looked at Allen's gradually recovering body and asked, "Now it seems that you finally have the ability to kill me, don't you?" Abandon the disguise and use your truest strength. ”

Alan shook his head, then looked into Phoenix's eyes and said seriously, "I don't want you to die, and I want you to be my companion." ”

"Companion?" Phoenix asked with a solemn expression.

Alan nodded, and then saw him extend his left arm and cut a large wound open, then let the blood drip down. Strangely enough, however, Allen's blood condensed like jelly, and when it was about to drip on the ground, it suddenly floated and converged into a scarlet blood cell.

"Of course, our relationship is not reciprocal, and I know your past, and I understand your plight among the Bloodline. Even if you participate in the marriage order of the female archduke now, I am afraid that your role is more as a thug. Isn't it? ”

Phoenix was noncommittal, he just listened quietly. Eren threw the blood ball, and then saw the blood ball hovering in front of Phoenix.

"Now I give you the true way of being strong. I give you the power of the prototype virus. Be my companion, and from now on, you don't have to feel inferior because of who you are. Because maybe in the near future, with my help, you can have your own family name and a family that can be passed down for a long time. In the name of Phoenix! ”

Allen's language seemed to have some kind of magic, which made Phoenix's eyes light up, he looked at the blood ball floating in front of him, and finally Phoenix slowly opened his mouth, and the jelly-like blood ball suddenly melted, and then turned into a blood arrow and flew into Phoenix's mouth.

Alan finally smiled: "It's a wise choice, we have a three-hour break, which is enough time for the prototype virus to re-evolve and upgrade you." ”

Phoenix nodded, and then lay quietly in the huge hole, and then the red leather armor on his body began to burn violently, and finally enveloped Phoenix's body entirely. Then a scorching fireball formed in its place.

Alan stood silently aside, carefully observing Phoenix's evolution in his eyes. Giving the prototype virus to Phoenix was not a whim choice for Allen. In the midst of this contest, Allen has found that he simply can't do it on his own. The guys who can enter the last thirteen lists are not easy to mess with. In the face of a Phoenix, Alan tried his best, but the final result was not satisfactory.

And if it's to find companions, Phoenix is the best candidate, a creature that wanders between the Bloods and the Undead, a lonely soul with ambitions. However, Allen's prototype virus can maximize Phoenix's potential, and Allen can control Phoenix at the same time. And not afraid of his betrayal.

At this moment, Alan can only wait quietly, waiting for the final evolution of Phoenix!

Three hours later, the hot fireball finally loosened a little, and the flame gradually extinguished, revealing Phoenix lying flat on the ground. At this moment, Phoenix's long fiery red hair dragged directly to his waist, and a vertical pupil appeared in the center of his forehead. Around the vertical pupils, golden lines spread like flames. The flame armor on his body finally formed an entity at this moment, and it was no longer a flame armor in the form of energy. Instead, a structure similar to a flame crystal was formed. And behind Phoenix, a pair of wings made of flame crystals spread out at this moment.

Phoenix opened his eyes gradually. Then the whole person floated into the air, and he looked at Allen, his fiery red eyes flashing a hint of hesitation. Allen said with a smile: "Although you are very strong now, it is possible to surpass me." But don't forget. The origin of the prototype virus is in my body, and my death means the death of the prototype virus, and it also means your death! So you might as well throw away that unreliable idea and think about how you can help me win the final victory. ”

Phoenix slowly landed on the ground. The huge flame crystal wings behind his back retracted into his body, and he came to Allen's face, and then knelt down on one knee: "From today." I, Phoenix, will be the sword in your hand, sweeping away all obstacles in front of you and helping you complete this marriage order. ”

Alan smiled and nodded, then pulled the other party up: "From now on, our alliance will be established." When I am victorious, I will carve out a new territory for you among the Bloodline. Make the name of Phoenix one of the most powerful surnames in the Bloodline! ”

Phoenix stood up, the vertical pupil on his forehead slowly closed, and then disappeared, and the golden flame patterns around him disappeared without a trace. The flame crystal's armor disappeared into Phoenix's body, and then turned into an extremely simple fiery red cloak.

"So what's next for you?" Phoenix asked.

"Break them one by one!" Alan looked at the endless plain, and then said in a solemn tone, "The blood clan was only Andre on the first day, and I can't see through his strength at all. For now, even if I find the most precious flower and enter the final competition, I will not be his opponent. ”

"So the best thing to do now is to devour the other ten candidates and use their bloodline power for their own use." Allen's eyes showed a scarlet light, and his tone was full of bloody killing intent, "Only in this way can I achieve the final victory." ”

Phoenix nodded, and the two of them set off, following the route already marked on the map towards the Black Rose Castle!

As the forbidden land of the Blood Clan, the Black Rose Castle sits in the deepest part of the Blood Clan's territory, and has been abandoned for nearly a thousand years due to the ban issued by the new King of the Blood Clan. In the Black Rose Castle, in addition to the terrifying curse of the old King of the Blood Clan, the new King of the Blood Clan also built an extremely complex alchemy circle on the periphery of the ancient castle. As a means of defense, any creature that steps into this alchemy circle will be attacked by a curse that has its blood drained.

The Black Rose Castle is located in a dark forest, and the deep black trees are connected together, as if the sky will never see the light. In the dark woods, it is impossible to distinguish between day and night. Under the dense canopy of trees, even strong sunlight cannot penetrate it.

It's a terrifying place where no creature can survive in such an environment.

Eren looked up at the dark jungle not far away, and even his infectious vision could not penetrate the pitch-black forest. It's like a huge black hole, absorbing all the energy. Phoenix unfolded the map, then pointed to it and said, "Through this black jungle, we will reach the Black Rose Castle." But in the middle of this jungle, they should set a trap to besiege and kill. The remaining ten candidates have formed a temporary alliance, and they have already agreed to eliminate you, Andre's most favored candidate, from the competition first! ”

Alan looked at the map and asked, "Did you get any information about why Andre would say such a thing in front of so many candidates?" ”

Phoenix shook his head: "To be honest, we were surprised too. This is clearly a trap set by Andrei, maybe he saw through your disguise? ”

Alan shook his head: "There shouldn't be any problems with my disguise, after all, this is a transformation ability initiated from the genetic level, so there shouldn't be any flaws." Forget it, these are all afterthoughts, let's discuss how to use the traps of these candidates. ”

Phoenix nodded, then looked into the dark jungle.

At this moment, the three candidates of the Blood Clan were hidden in the canopy, and they held their breath, quietly waiting for Alan to walk into the trap step by step.

The Blood Clan was now divided into two factions, each led by two of the strongest Blood Clan candidates. And these two also happen to be the first heirs of their respective families, in order to push the two of them into this position. These two ancient families can be said to have exhausted all their financial resources, and even did not hesitate to use the secret methods of their own clan in exchange for the support of several other families. So as to occupy an absolute advantage on the final list of candidates.

This time, the two ancient clans are actually making a big gamble, and once the bet is right, everything they have lost will be fed back a hundredfold. But if it fails, the old surname will be gradually erased from the history of the blood clan! So it's a gamble that neither side can afford to lose! (To be continued.) )
