"Sacrificial Sacred Tree?"

The moment the old woman appeared, Feng Zining subconsciously wanted to hack her to death.

It's really used to cutting people here.

Fortunately, after hearing the new lines, Feng Zining finally controlled herself.

Tonight, it's really different from before!

……

"Yes, tonight is the day of the sacrifice to the sacred tree!"

"Legend has it that the sacred tree was born on the night of a full moon!"

"So every three months, every full moon, the villagers of our Longevity Village gather together to celebrate the birthday of the sacred tree."

"Outsider, you're lucky enough to see the Sacred Tree with your own eyes."

"If you can offer enough sacrifices, the Sacred Tree will definitely give you a chance at eternal life!"

When talking about the sacred tree, the old woman's face was full of yearning and longing.

This couldn't help but make Feng Zining very curious, what exactly is the Divine Tree?

Since coming to this strange longevity village, Feng Zining can hear the Divine Tree almost every day, and her ears are about to grind out calluses.

Since she had the opportunity to meet in person today, she naturally wouldn't miss it.

Under the leadership of the old woman, Feng Zining walked towards the ancestral hall in the center of the village.

It is inhabited by the eldest village chief and elders of the village.

……

"Hee-hee!"

"Divine Tree, Divine Tree!"

"Birthday, birthday!"

Like Feng Zining, there were many villagers who rushed to the ancestral hall.

But unlike the aging of the old woman who led the way, the rest of the villagers are younger than the other.

Even in the mouth of the old woman, several villagers who have lived for 800 years are all little urchins.

And when Feng Zining saw the village chief and several elders, it was even more exaggerated.

On the altar, a young woman was holding a baby in her arms, and the baby who seemed to be still nursing was the head of the village of longevity.

Although this is indeed very weird and strange, Feng Zining, who has gone through many cycles, is not the first time he has seen the village chief and several elders.

The first time she slaughtered the village, she hesitated for a long time.

……

"It's almost time, have you all arrived?"

The village chief, who had just finished breastfeeding, seemed to have finally gathered enough strength.

He babbled, looking devoid of majesty.

But the moment he spoke, the ancestral hall, which was originally extremely lively, instantly became silent.

"Village chief, 39 and 45 seem to have gone out to play, and they haven't come back yet."

"But I brought the outsider here, and with her present, there are enough people to sacrifice!"

The youngest old woman spoke tremblingly.

Feng Zining finally understood why she was able to appear here, it turned out that she was here to make up the numbers.

But is it really possible to get out here?

How the hell did those 39 and 45 get out?

……

The so-called 39 and 45 are the order of the villagers according to their age.

It seems that these guys are too old to remember who they really are.

So they are now called exactly by numerical codes, and the number of the village chief is 001.

The youngest woman is 241.

So if Feng Zining is added, a total of 240 people appear in the ancestral hall.

"Tonight is the birthday of the Sacred Tree, and those two guys dare to run out to play!"

"The Great Divine Tree is merciful, but those two bastards must pay the price."

"When they come back, give it to the outsider in front of you!"

The village chief smacked his lips and made a cruel decision.

The 239 people present nodded in agreement, but Feng Zining did not say anything.

She wouldn't eat anything here.

But her silence did not cause anyone to be of concern, for with the arrival of a full moon, the sacrifice officially began.

……

"See, the osmanthus tree in the moon is a great sacred tree."

"The fragrance of the sacred tree is the world's top life-prolonging elixir!"

"Edible grass can only prolong our life for a hundred years, and then we need to continue to inhale the aroma in order to make us immortal."

"The village chief is over 1,000 years old this year, but he is an ordinary person!"

After the full moon fell, the old woman began to chatter again, publicizing the benefits of taking Cao Huan Dan in Feng Zining's ear.

Feng Zi stared at the full moon, stunned, and directly took the old woman's words as a deaf ear.

In her eyes, the so-called bright moon does not exist at all.

The mass that glowed with the moonlight was nothing more than a wriggling mass of flesh.

But the incredible thing is that every cell that makes up the flesh is shining like the most perfect pearl in the world.

The so-called shadow of the laurel tree in the bright moon is just the meridians contained in the flesh and blood.

Is this a sacred tree? Or is it part of the sacred tree?

……

"Great Sacred Tree, thank you for granting me eternal life!"

"I dedicate my heart to you, hoping that sooner or later I will be able to embark on the path of immortality and enjoy eternal life!"

After the sacrifice begins, villagers walk to the full moon, take out some of their body organs, and send them into the bright moon.

Then the osmanthus tree in the bright moon will give back a part of the fragrance for them to suck.

After inhaling the aroma, the villagers not only looked dazed and fluttered, but the organs they had previously lost began to grow rapidly.

"This is called a sacrifice?"

Feng Zining frowned when she saw it, unlike the wonderful picture in the eyes of the villagers, what she saw was too weird.

The moment the villagers dissected their bodies, it was empty, except for a small mass of glowing flesh and blood.

That small mass of flesh and blood was exactly the same as the flesh and blood that made up the bright moon, but the light was a little dimmer.

And when the villagers sacrificed these flesh and blood to Mingyue, the latter immediately devoured it with great greed.

The aroma that escaped from the bright moon, Feng Zining didn't understand what it was, but it should be some kind of extremely special spiritual energy.

It is under the effect of this special spiritual energy that the villagers, who are extremely weak after sacrificing their own flesh and blood, can barely return to normal.

……

"Where is this sacrifice, it is clearly a harvest!"

"After taking Caohuandan, these villagers should have been parasitic about something."

"Then the human body is used as a breeding ground to continuously breed special flesh and blood for harvesting."

Feng Zining is also a true disciple of the Heavenly Witch Spell Academy, and she has seen too many strange things.

To be honest, the strangeness of the sacrificial scene in front of her was really not ranked among the events she had seen.

If the so-called Divine Tree is just like that, it is too low.

However, the reality was such a slap in the face, and the next scene directly shattered Feng Zining's three views.

……

"Hahaha, I'm done, I've succeeded!"

"I finally succeeded in building a foundation, and I can go to the fairy land to cultivate immortals!"

Unlike ordinary villagers, they need to sacrifice their own flesh and blood in order to absorb the aroma.

The village chief and several elders enjoyed special treatment at the beginning of the sacrifice and could inhale the aroma wantonly.

It was extremely strange that after the village chief had absorbed enough aroma, his whole body glowed, and he also turned into a small bright moon.

"This, this is actually a spiritual awakening, and it is a natural awakening of the spirit on its own?"

"How is this possible?"

As a true disciple who had touched the power of authority, Feng Zining saw through the truth of the village chief's glow at a glance.

"The whole body is shining, as bright as the bright moon, and the empty room is white!"

This is the description of the natural awakened spirituality in ancient books, and the current village chief is completely in line with it.

……

"Could it be that the spiritual awakening of this old thing is completely based on age?"

"If he really lived in the form of an ordinary person for more than 1,000 years, it is really possible for him to awaken spiritually."

"But the premise is that its cells must still be active, otherwise it will not be able to support the consumption of spiritual awakening."

"But it's entirely possible that the current village chief looks like a nursing doll who awakens spiritually on its own in the form of a baby."

"It's certainly not a coincidence, it's a clever design!"

"Even ordinary people don't need to live to be 1,000 years old at all, they only need to live to be 800 years old, and it is possible for them to have a natural spiritual awakening."

"After all, there is a [Ancient People] in the human race, and they can easily live to be 800 years old and then awaken their spirituality on their own."

"It's a pity that after the old days, [the people of the ancients] have turned into legends, and they have never appeared in the new era."

"This damn sacred tree is obviously based on this kind of legend, and with the power of immortality it has, it has created the longevity village in front of you."

"Its purpose is not to harvest that little bit of flesh at all, it is just a dessert for tooth sacrifice."

"The village chief, who awakens his own spirituality, is the food it really cultivates."

Feng Zining, who finally figured out everything, instantly felt an endless chill.

They actually treat humans as crops, no, they treat humans as ginseng and breed them.

Such evil methods are simply intolerable.

This damn Shengxian Island is really evil and weird.

……

"Hahaha, everyone, I'm going to embark on the path of immortality and pursue eternal life."

"Thank you for your company for hundreds of years, and you have to work hard!"

"I'll go first, waiting for everyone in Wonderland!"

After the spiritual awakening, although the village chief is still just a doll, his momentum is even stronger.

After he made a farewell speech, he jumped directly into the bright moon.

In the eyes of all the villagers, the village chief has entered the fairyland and went to cultivate immortals first.

However, in Feng Zining's eyes, the village chief was directly devoured by that strange mass of flesh and blood, and completely merged with it.

Inexplicably, under the osmanthus tree in the full moon, the figure of the village chief appeared.

All the villagers who witnessed this scene went crazy in an instant.

This group of them, in a long-term closed environment, has been brainwashed for at least hundreds of years.

At this time, when you see that someone has finally achieved your long-standing goal, how can you not be so excited that you cry?

……

After the village chief ascended, the sacrifice continued.

Soon, it was Feng Zining's turn.

She was the last person to make a sacrifice, and all the villagers who had completed the sacrifice before were staring at her.

Without hesitation, Feng Zining walked up to Mingyue, peeled off her body, and threw her heart into it.

In the next moment, the aroma poured in, and Feng Zining greedily sucked everything.

"Good, good!"

"The Sacred Tree is pleased with your sacrifice!"

"After that, as long as you eat grass and return the pill, you will be one of us."

002, who had just taken the place of the village chief, appeared in front of Feng Zining and looked at her with appreciation.

As if to reward her for her sacrifice, 002 handed her a bark book for viewing.

……

"Heavenly Tree Sect Honki"

This is the name of the book that looks like a bark book, but is actually a human skin book.

Feng Zining flipped through it unceremoniously, and then instantly came to a conclusion, "Make it up, it's nonsense!" ”

The book records the development history of a giant sect Heavenly Tree Sect that has been inherited for more than 100,000 years, and the exaggerated deeds can almost rewrite all the history books of mankind.

Feng Zining seriously suspected that the guy who made up this book must have written it before.

Anyway, according to the book, in order to save the fate of mankind, the great Heavenly Tree Sect fought to the death with the gods at the end of the old days.

As a result, although the human race was saved, the Heavenly Tree Sect was completely destroyed, and only one inheritance seed fell to the Immortal Island.

After thousands of years, absorbing the essence of the infinite sun and moon, this seed finally germinated on a full moon night and grew into a sacred tree again.

After the birth of the Divine Tree, the inheritance plan of the Heavenly Tree Sect began to be implemented.

Among ordinary humans, if someone has an immortal fate, they will enter the inside of the sacred tree and "build a foundation".

And once the foundation is successfully built, you will be able to enter the fairy realm and inherit the immortal method of the Heavenly Tree Sect.

Feng Zining didn't believe a word about what was recorded in this book.

She is not one of these ignorant ordinary people, and she has no understanding of the inner world and the Ascension Island.

This "Heavenly Tree Sect Books" is obviously deliberately made up by some evil beings to fool ordinary people.

In order to let them be leeks honestly and honestly "cultivate immortals".

Although Feng Zining didn't believe it, she couldn't stop all the villagers around from believing it.

What's more, the village chief has just succeeded in building a foundation, and the example of success is in front of them, and they are now more confident.

……

"I didn't expect this to be the inner space of the Divine Tree!"

"I'm not an ordinary person at all, and I don't meet the selection criteria of the Divine Tree at all."

"So my appearance is an accident that occurs in the turmoil of space? Or maybe some being deliberately set up to trap me here. ”

"If there is no system task, I believe it will be an accident."

"But now, I think it must have been something that was deliberately bad and sent me here."

"No, I have to get out as soon as possible!"

After realizing her situation, Feng Zining was even more eager to leave here.

If it weren't for the mass of flesh and blood that turned into the bright moon that made her extremely jealous, Feng Zining really wanted to slaughter the village now and try what would happen.

Through the contact just now, Feng Zining judged that the mass of flesh and blood seemed to have only instinct and no thoughts.

Once it kills its sacrifice itself, it will most likely run wild.

After some evaluation, Feng Zining still gave up the idea of dying.

Her existing means can't kill that mass of flesh and blood, and it's in someone's body, so let's stabilize it first.

It's a big deal to wait for the next sacrifice in 3 months.

And it was precisely because she couldn't kill that piece of flesh and blood that Feng Zining had to "compromise and seek perfection" and sacrifice.

At that time, Feng Zining felt that the mass of flesh and blood had already targeted him, and if he didn't try to pacify him, he would inevitably attack.

It's just a heart, and it's not a loss to her.

Sure enough, after devouring his own heart, the mass of flesh and blood stopped agitating.

……

After the sacrifice was completed, it was very strange that the people of Changshou Village actually remained "sober".

But three days have not yet arrived, and Feng Zining is not sure whether everything will happen again.

Out of curiosity, Feng Zining did not restart the "Slaughter Village", although she would miss the contact with Caroline because of this, but the current situation is more valuable to observe.

Time passed day by day, and on the fourth day, the state of the villagers of Changshou Village appeared "confused", and it seemed that it would not be long before they would become the same again.

But Feng Zining finally confirmed that there was indeed something manipulating the villagers of these Changshou Village to "target themselves".

It's just that the "sacrifice" interrupts this process, but I believe that in a few days, everything will be restored again.

And on the 4th day after the sacrifice, a plate of fresh grass was brought to Feng Zining by the old woman.

"These are numbers 35 and 49, eat them, and you're one of us!"

"This is what the village chief promised you before he ascended."

Feng Zining was about to refuse as usual, but she suddenly sensed a familiar aura from those two grass pills.

It was Caroline's exclusive spell.

"Hahaha, good, good!"

"I've finally arrived!"

……

In front of the cave of the giant tree, Caroline and the others have been tossing for 5 days.

It's a pity that the power of space is too high-end, and it is not something they can spy on at all.

The various detection methods they carefully designed were completely ineffective after entering the tree hole.

It was as if they had no other way but to enter in person.

The contact with the senior sister is still missing, although they try their best to prevent the spread of news, but gradually, the Sea Kite is still unstable.

Just as Caroline was about to go into the "tree hole" by herself, the Sea Kite caught the traces of one of the two grass pills again.

Effortlessly, Caroline and they caught the grass again.

But what is extremely strange is that the moment the grass pill fell into Caroline's hands, it actually spat out a heart full of incantations.

The heart was extremely shriveled, as if it had completely lost its life.

But after sensing the familiar breath of Senior Sister Feng in her heart, Caroline was so excited that she almost cried.

And it was also at the moment when he vomited out his heart that the grass returned to the pill and completely turned into ashes.

Almost at the same time, the Sea Kite actually got in touch with Senior Sister Feng again.

Then Chen Qi received the summoning order of the Sea Kite, and all the remaining candidates received the order together.

……

"Life Replacement Circle, Senior Sister Caroline actually gathered all of us to rush to build such a circle."

"Judging by his words, this time he must not be able to shirk!"

"It's a pity, I'm only 9,000 away from 100,000 points now, so I can only find a way after entering the second ring."

In an abandoned laboratory of an unknown force, Chen Qi slowly closed the black book in front of him.

This was the last lab he could find after searching the entire outer ring area.

It's a pity that it's still a little short of 100,000 points.

But it can't be helped, after all, there are more than 30 laboratories that have been cleaned by others.

Chen Qi naturally couldn't get points.

The lab in front of you is not marked on the map, nor is it affiliated with the Yakuza Organization.

As for what exactly the forces were established, Chen Qi did not come up with an answer after some exploration.

That black book can be regarded as Chen Qi's biggest gain here.

……

On the cover of the black book, there are three golden characters of "Seeking Immortals".

And on the back, there is a picture!

It was a galleon sailing on the sea, and on the bow of the ship, a gray-haired old man held something in his hands, and fell to his knees with great reverence.

And that thing was a bronze creation with a regular 20-sided body.

It's just that because of the time, the lines on it have been blurred, and I can't see what it is.
