Chapter 2 seems to be a misunderstanding

  What's going on?

  Mr. Li felt that he had encountered a few too many strange things in these days!

  What vampires, what time-traveling, what elephant-like mice, but none of them can compare to the current situation!

  Look, why are these foreigners letting him sit on a throne? And they're all gathering around to watch, with at least several hundred people surrounding the area!

  Look at their faces full of curious and affectionate smiles, with reverence and respect in their eyes. Is this a tribute to the evolutionary history of apes, a salute to our ancestors?

  What's with the fresh flower wreath on Li Xie's head and neck? Getting married? And what's with the fruits in front of him and the roasted meat sauce, is it for a sacrifice?

  What's most astonishing is this old man crawling at Li Xie's feet!

  Looking at him, Li Xie felt a little dizzy!

  This old man is a bit too old! His face is full of wrinkles, just like a sand-haired dog. Looking at his crawling posture, Li Xie suddenly had an idea in her mind - could this guy be a beastman? A sand-haired dog person among the beastmen?!

  What Li Xie couldn't stand was that this old guy took a look at him and then excitedly kissed his foot.

  Cute old man, that's Grandpa's foot that hasn't been washed for over ten days! If you kiss it, you'll get diarrhea later and can't blame Grandpa for intentionally poisoning you!

  The old man kissed Li Xie's ankle and then looked up at him, chattering away before kissing again!

  Old man, believe it or not, I'll kick your ankle!

  Li Xie felt a bit depressed, but had just sobered up, his mind was still muddled and unclear, he couldn't make sense of anything, even the old man's words were hard to hear.

  The old man finished kissing his feet and looked at Li Xie with a deep and emotional gaze, which made Li Xie's mouth twitch: "Old master, I'm not your long-lost son!"

  The old man's wrinkles spread out, and he hastily said: "The God of the Earth is above, Your Highness is truly kind, but how dare the old man be related to Your Highness? Where does the old man have this good fortune?"

  Although he said he was unlucky, the old man's eyes were even more eager, obviously thinking about something improper.

  Your Highness?

  Li Ye's eyebrows jumped up!

  Your Highness seems a bit lower than Your Majesty, and also appears to be the master of La Zhong!

  Isn't Young Master similar in appearance to a certain prince? Have these people mistaken him for someone else?

  Haha! It should be like this! Otherwise, how can we explain their enthusiasm towards us? They even presented flowers and wine and meat! What a great bunch of people!

  Let's pretend to be Your Highness first!

  "Hmm, this time the prince is traveling incognito to observe local customs and experience the local culture... Ah! You're at it again!" Seeing the old man kissing his own foot again, Li Xie couldn't help but withdraw his foot, the old man didn't seem to mind, but Li Xie felt like he was being harassed.

  It was just Li Xie's action that seemed to deeply hurt the old man's fragile heart, seeing his withered face turn pale, his eyes were so desperate, and his dry eye sockets suddenly surged with tears, what a pitiful sight!

  "Ah..." Li Xie sighed, he was a kind-hearted and honest person, couldn't bear to see others suffer like they had lost their parents. He stretched out his foot: "Alright, alright, go ahead and kowtow, hey, don't just kowtow to my right foot, give my left foot a kowtow too, you can't be partial!"

  It's probably their custom, seeing how enthusiastic the old man is about it, Li Xie could only think that.

  "Cuckoo... cuckoo..."

  Li Xie hadn't eaten anything for several days, his stomach was empty and rumbling loudly, the sound was particularly loud, causing a burst of laughter from the surrounding foreigners.

  They weren't ridiculing Li Xie, but rather they felt that the "Legendary Summoner" in front of them wasn't so high and mighty after all, and instead gave off a sense of familiarity. As a result, everyone else also relaxed their guard.

  "Hmm, these things, can be eaten?" Li Xie awkwardly smiled.

  The old man hastily replied: "The god of the earth is above, and I hope Your Highness will not despise the food of our small village."

  "Disgusted? How can I be disgusted? I'm not picky." Li Xie picked up something that looked like a pig's trotter and started gnawing on it, the skin was crispy and the meat was fragrant, especially with a strong aftertaste, he couldn't help but devour it. As soon as he ate the thing, Li Xie felt his own body react, not to mention dizziness and numbness, but also weakness all over!

  Why is that? Because Li Xie is a vampire!

  Vampires can eat like normal people to supplement the energy their bodies need, but blood is always the driving force behind a vampire's life! Ten days without blood is equivalent to a human going hungry for three days!

  But most importantly, it's because of the nosebleed just now! In fact, vampires are almost impossible to bleed, even if they cut their hands or chop off their feet, they won't bleed!

  Blood is the most important and lively thing in a vampire's body, how can it flow casually? Why did Li Xie have a nosebleed then?

  "I said, old man, you're staring at me while I eat, it's embarrassing. Come on, let's all eat together. In this desert wilderness, food shouldn't be easy to get, let's share. Also, I lost too much blood earlier and need to replenish it, can you guys get some blood for me?"

  Blood?

  The villagers looked at each other in dismay, never having heard of using blood to replenish after bleeding! Is this the legendary summoner's special way of replenishing blood?

  Considering Li Xie as a legendary old man, he attaches great importance to Li Xie's words and immediately stands up and shouts: "Your Highness wants blood, Kid, go and slaughter your family's Pipi pig and let out some blood."

  "Alright!" Peppa Pig was one of the Kid family's treasured possessions, but this blond-haired giant agreed without hesitation.

  "No, no, don't want pig's blood." Li Xie hastily said.

  The old man looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, our village is just a small village. Pipi Pig is already the highest-ranking demon pet in our village. Although it's only a third-tier demon pet, it's the heart of our village. I hope Your Highness won't despise it."

  Demon pet? Third stage? This can't be a fantasy world, right?!

  Li Ye waved his hand: "This king is a king who loves the people like his own children, how can he be picky about this and that? It's just that I've spit too much blood, now I need to replenish it with human blood!"

  Human blood?

  The villagers looked at Li Xie with strange expressions, this young man in his early twenties, was he really a legendary summoner? Would a legendary summoner drink human blood? Could it be that he's actually a dark summoner?! Thinking back to the terrifying aura from before, this possibility is quite high! After all, only a dark summoner would use people as experiments, or even suck their blood!

  On the contrary, the old man continued to shout loudly: "What are you all stunned for? Our village's great hero, who helped us scare away the mouse tide and saved us from danger! The legendary summoner of the Great Continent of Gods! Now he is bleeding too much because of our village's survival, shouldn't we contribute a little blood? Iverson, go get a bucket, each of us will put in some blood! What are you stunned for? Hurry up!"

  "Yes!" Iverson hastily responded, pushing through the crowd to fetch a pail.

  Actually, this old man is not a single-minded person. On the contrary, he is the most respected and wisest elder in the village group on the edge of the desert. At first, he thought Li Xie was the legendary summoner, and his respect for Li Xie came from his most sincere heart. But at this moment, he also has the same doubts and worries as the villagers: Will the young man in front of him be a dark summoner?

  This person is too young, barely twenty years old. However, I've heard that legendary summoners have some kind of anti-aging magic, so it's possible to stay young. But a legendary summoner wouldn't drink human blood! If this person is a dark summoner, then we need to take him even more seriously and satisfy his demands!

  It's one thing to offend a legendary summoner, but offending a dark summoner is another story altogether - this village might just be doomed!

  Therefore, the old man showed the same respect for Li Xie as before!

  Li Xie seemed to have grasped something from the old man's words!

  It turns out that I'm not some noble, but a "Legendary Summoner"! Was it me who scared off the mouse tide? When was that? Never mind, let them misunderstand, I'll keep pretending! Hehe!

  Soon, several hundred villagers collected a wooden bucket of fresh blood, which seemed to be as much as ten liters, but actually just a little from each person.

  The smell of fresh blood was a stench to others, but to Li Xie, it smelled like sweet nectar!

  Gulu

  There seemed to be a tempting magic that made Li Xie's mouth dry and tongue parched, and he immediately grabbed the wooden bucket, put his mouth on the edge of the bucket and started drinking big gulps.

  Blood entered his body, like a cool spring water washing away the heat on his skin, like finally having a bowl of porridge to drink after being hungry for several days, Li Xie couldn't help but let out a satisfied burp. For the first time drinking blood, Li Xie didn't have that nauseous feeling, instead it was as if he had drunk some fine wine, making him feel refreshed and invigorated!

  Unfortunately, my body is not in good condition, otherwise, with so much blood, I should be able to advance a little! You know, I'm currently the lowest-level black-eyed vampire, and only 100 liters of ordinary human blood can make me a second-tier yellow-eyed vampire! And the stronger the person, the higher the energy contained in their blood. These people are even stronger than me, this black-eyed vampire, so the energy contained in their blood must be several times that of an ordinary earthling! Their 20 liters of blood should have the same energy as 100 liters of an earthling's blood! What a pity!

  After drinking the blood, Li Xie let out a series of sighs in his heart!

  In the "Vampire Handbook", it is stated that vampires are divided into nine levels, distinguished by eye color. The lowest level is black-eyed, which is only slightly stronger and harder to kill than ordinary humans. Above that are yellow, orange, cyan, green, blue, gold, red, and purple. With each promotion to a higher level, one or more special abilities can be activated, and the body also becomes stronger!

  Of course, the higher the rank, the more blood is needed, to be precise, the more energy contained in the blood is needed. Advancing from Black Eye to Yellow Eye requires the energy of 100 liters of human blood, and advancing from Yellow Eye to Orange Eye doubles the required blood energy! And so on, until reaching Golden Eye, where absorbing blood can no longer help with advancement, and one needs to cultivate the Vampire's technique to help advance. Fortunately, this technique is included in the "Vampire Handbook".

  In addition, to advance, the body must be in a normal state and cannot be injured or lose blood. Otherwise, all the absorbed blood will be used to make up for the damage suffered by the body, making it difficult to provide energy for advancement.

  This is the reason why Li Ye sighed.

  Looking at the cute villagers, Li Xie considered whether to cheat them again and come up with another barrel, at least to upgrade to a yellow-eyed vampire and gain some special abilities.

  Just as Li Xie was about to deceive them, a sound of horseshoes kicking the ground caught the attention of the villagers and Li Xie.
