Chapter 223: The Sacrificial Ritual
"Bestow the greatness of the harvest."
"The Miracle of Ruling the Black Book."
"The mystery that came to the world."
"My lord, the god of abundant trees!"
In the wide and neatly arranged rows of rooms, Tameqi, dressed in a green cloak and with his hands on top of his forehead, slowly knelt on the ground with a pious expression.
In front of her, a mysterious and peculiar ritual pattern is placed, and at the key nodes of the ceremony, there is a spirit core, whose attributes are shadow, element, and order.
The pattern of the ritual is drawn by adding pure water to the spirit pattern flower powder with strong conduction ability.
In the very center of this ritual are placed several quaint leather sheets that look a little old.
Buzz –
With the launching ceremony of Tameqi and the recitation of the honorable name, the spiritual core of the ceremony burst out with a halo of light.
Circling, twisting, and folding, Tamech seemed to see a majestic ancient tree.
"Fruitful Tree God!"
Seeing this vague scene, Tameqi's face was full of fanaticism, and his eyes were full of reverence.
As the only person who is now the "Fruitful Tree God", as the person who has been saved by the "Fruitful Tree God", and as the person closest to the "Fruitful Tree God" now.
What she was doing was a mysterious sacrificial ritual.
As for the "sacrifice" thing, it is naturally a few pieces of leather paper in the center of the ritual.
And what is written on these vellum papers is the recipe!
This is the recipe for the evolution of three spirit beasts!
Although Tameqi didn't understand why the "Fruitful Tree God" needed a spirit beast evolution formula, it was still a formula with no limited attributes, no types, and no restrictions.
However, as the most devout of the family, Tamech will not ask more.
She scooped up some recipes from the black market in Coasttown.
But everyone has a strong sense of protection.
Most of the formulas that can be circulated in the market will be signed with a "no leakage" contract before trading.
So if you want to go big with the formula, spending money on it may be the best option.
But such an evolutionary formula cannot be used for "sacrifice", because it is equivalent to breaking the contract and suffering from the backlash of the rules.
However, in addition to these restricted recipes that can't be shown to a third person, there is another one on the black market.
That is, someone else bought a restricted evolution formula, but before they could see it, they were intercepted and killed halfway.
This kind of formula, if the contract rules signed by the two parties at the time of the transaction are vague, it may lead to the leakage of the formula.
And these recipes, because the person who opens them do not necessarily need to be subject to contractual restrictions, tend to be extremely expensive.
Because it represents a recipe that is ready to be traded.
Boom –
As the ritual was initiated, the recipe and paper that had been "sacrificed" in the ritual center slowly disappeared from Tameqi's sight.
The next moment.
A pure, gentle, and comforting warm current was injected into Tameqi's body.
Feeling this warm current, Tamechi felt heartfelt uplifted.
This means that the great "Fruitful Tree God" pays more attention to himself.
For any believer in the Fruitful Tree, there is nothing more exciting than getting the attention of the Fruitful Tree.
When the aura of ritual lines completely dissipated, Tamech blinked in surprise.
"It's."
In the center of the ceremony, where the leather paper had been placed, the leather paper disappeared and was replaced by a piece of bark.
On the bark of the tree, ancient characters are engraved.
"Recipe?"
It's not just the formula, it's also the formula that is suitable for the evolution of her spirit beast!
For a moment, Tamech once again prostrate himself reverently on the ground.
"Praise be to you! Great Fruitful Tree God! ”
The "fruitful tree god" of their "Tree God Cult" is indeed different from those ethereal gods, and he is not only able to respond to prayers, prayers, but even give feedback when sacrificing things.
What could be more uplifting for zealous believers than being able to commune with the "gods" they believe in?
If there is, it is the respect of "God"!
He doesn't just take it like other "gods," He can send miracles and give feedback.
How can such a great god be compared to those evil gods?
"Praise be to you! Great Fruitful Tree God! ”
Tamech once again worshipped.
In his heart, Tamechi said very seriously and seriously: We must let more people know our Lord, know our Lord, believe in our Lord, and let more people understand what is the truly great deity! Only in this way can we live up to the favor of our Lord.
"It's now."
Above the boundless sea, Longshou Island, with a hat pressed and a scepter in hand, shrouded in a hazy green mist.
Eyes sweep over the surrounding area.
In fact, now he doesn't need to look through his eyes, he can use the "Tree God Scepter" to "see" the surroundings, and take in all the things in the woods.
And as Li Changan's words fell.
Hidden in the dense bushes, a black wurm clad in fine scales rushed out.
"Roaring ——!!"
The surging dragon might, swept wantonly, and the terrifying power roared out.
At the center of its roaring catharsis, a hole leading to the ground, the body of a giant python that had just poked out its triangular head suddenly stiffened, and its expression and eyes were briefly stiff.
And at the same time that it was oppressed by the aura of "dragon power", a large number of roots and branches interspersed and penetrated into the ground, completely sealing the cave behind the giant python, blocking its way back.
The giant python that came back to his senses swallowed the snake letter, and his eyes were indifferent and full of fierce killing intent.
Since it couldn't retreat, it could only curl up and rush towards the black wurm at the fastest speed.
But just as it was moving forward, the inexplicable power of the rules suddenly fell, and its original silky and winding body became extremely uncoordinated.
At this moment, a burly tree man suddenly appeared at its side, and grabbed its seemingly smooth body covered with snake scales.
Poof!
The moment the bondage falls.
A pair of claws in the shadows pierced through its seven-inch position without the slightest hindrance, and directly picked out a turbid gray-white spirit core.
Bang Bang –
The three-tailed civet cat of the ink shadow holding the spirit core landed lightly.
"Bracket-"
"Roar!"
Seeing this scene, both Kuidou and Black Fang shouted excitedly.
This was not the first time that the three of them had cooperated.
But it's really the most inseparable they've ever worked together.
This dangerous fifth-order giant python didn't even have a chance to resist when it touched them.
"Kuidou, let's clean up the contents of the cave." Li Changan said.
Defeating wild spirit beasts, collecting spirit cores, their body spirit materials, and guarding spirit materials were Li Changan's main "jobs" during this time.
And this work has been going on for almost a month.
The entire Longshou Island was almost completely figured out by them.
Except for some clan territories with disaster-level spirit beasts that they didn't approach or touch, most of the danger-level spirit beasts and spirit beast territories, they had almost figured it out.
Of course, during this time, I also collected a lot of spiritual materials.
"Meow?"
Is it time to eat?
Xiao Phantom blinked his eyes and asked after handing the spirit core to Li Changan.
"Roar."
Dinner?
Black Fang's reaction was even greater than that of Xiao Phantom, and he strode to his side.
Even Kuidou, who usually doesn't have high requirements for food, has seen it at this time.
These days, for them, nothing is more awaited than having a meal.
In fact, the food smeared with Soul Honey tasted far beyond their expectations.
No, the Black Fang has been completely conquered by this food.
"Good, good, good."
In this regard, Li Changan could only smile helplessly.
"Xiao Phantom and Kui Dou have both reached the ninth level of the restricted level, although the black fang has not improved in strength, but it has cooperated well with them, and there has been a lot of improvement in skill proficiency, but that's it."
Black Fang didn't work hard enough.
It's not.
After lunch, Xiao Fan and Kuidou were already there to "eat".
Blackfang, on the other hand, was napping on his stomach.
Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on it, it's been its long-term habit for so many years.
In terms of age, the underage Black Tooth is actually much older than Xiao Huan, Kui Dou and even Li Changan.
And the habits that have been passed down for so many years are not something that can be changed.
But fortunately, with food as an incentive, it still carried out all the training that should be carried out, plus the talent is good, so the growth is okay.
"Change it slowly, and run in slowly."
In this regard, Li Changan is not in a hurry.
Buzz –
"Bestow the greatness of the harvest."
"The Miracle of Ruling the Black Book."
"The mystery that came to the world."
"My lord, the god of abundant trees!"
The "Tree God Scepter" in his hand trembled slightly, and an ethereal voice seemed to come from it.
With the growth of the "soul", Li Changan has a more comprehensive grasp of the "Tree God Scepter" and has also obtained more permission to use it, including
Sacrificial rituals.
He "overlooked" the pious Tameqi who was crawling on the ground, and had a few more recipes in his hand, as well as a list.
"It's finally time to start collecting recipes."
Li Changan glanced at the formula a few times, and the black leather manual in the consciousness space quickly flipped through and entered it, and at the same time gave feedback.
And this list is the list of the current "Tree God Cult" who believe in the "Fruitful Tree God".
Among them, there is one fifth-order spirit master, four fourth-order spirit masters, fifteen third-order spirit masters, and a total of eighty-four second-order spirit masters and first-order spirit masters.
As for ordinary people, it is as many as tens of thousands.
"It seems to be going pretty well. The infidels have also cleaned up a part, but they have already aroused the vigilance and attention of the other party, and if they want to continue to clean up, they can only use coercive means, which is not in a hurry. ”
Briefly glanced twice.
"The Pope. Missing? ”
The Pope of the "Tree God Sect" is also a fifth-order spirit master.
Moreover, he is also a powerful senior fifth-order spirit master, and he is the person with the most power in the "Tree God Sect" before he appeared.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a word.
Originally, Li Changan had thought about how to "deal with" the pope.
But since he became the "god of abundance", the Pope has mysteriously disappeared.
"Could it be that the infidels did it?"
Not to mention that there is no one behind that group of infidels, Li Changan doesn't believe it.
As for who it is, it is still up for debate.
"Huh? I don't have to think of anything else in return. ”
After browsing the feedback information of the black leather manual, Li Changan saw one of the recipes, which actually fit Tameqi's spirit beast.
It is directly used as a "favor" for the dependents.
He wasn't worried that Tamech would leak recipe information.
As the most devout believer, Li Changan, who holds the "Tree God Scepter", knows the loyalty of believers best.
Tamech was undoubtedly already a fanatic.
If Li Changan is an "evil god", even if she is sent to death now, Tameqi will not hesitate.
Now he somewhat understands why the people of the Astronomical Society dared to die like this.
Sometimes, faith is almost all there is to a person.
Especially in the current world, in this dangerous world.
Ending the ritual with Tameqi, Li Changan gently rubbed the lines on the top of the scepter.
"One fifth-order spirit master, four fourth-order spirit masters, and fifteen third-order spirit masters. This is already a force that is not weak in Coast Town. ”
But it's just not weak.
There are many forces in Coast Town, and each force is more or less interspersed with the shadow of some "big guys".
And their "Tree God Cult" is the original local religion, and there is only such a "false god" as him behind it, and it will definitely be difficult to deal with it if they really want to fight it.
Therefore, his identity must not be revealed.
At the very least, reduce contact with the Dryad Cult.
A fourth-order spirit master like Tameqi, or a fifth-order spirit master who is a little stronger, can't track down the "Tree God Scepter" and him, but if it's a little stronger, if it's a sixth-order or even a seventh-order, it's hard to say.
After sitting in place and thinking for a long time, Li Changan stood up with his knees propped up.
"I'm going back."
The evolution of Kuidou is still one last main material.
And the evolution of Xiao Phantom also needs the help of Kuidou's evolution.
So this time he went back, his goal was to make them all complete their evolution.
At that time, with three dangerous-level spirit beasts, he would be a real fourth-order spirit master.
"It's time to start thinking about the next spirit beast again."
Li Changan rubbed his scepter and smiled helplessly, "Is this a growing pain?" ”
Sometimes, it's not a good thing to make progress too fast.
The more he grows and the stronger he becomes, the more he can "see" the other side of the world.
Comparatively.
It is safer to operate in the dense forest that others see as dangerous.
At least, fighting wild spirit animals doesn't need to be as intriguing with humans as they are.
