The Era of the National Constellation: I Awaken the Aries Healing Technique

Chapter 365 Zhang Xu
From a long distance, Lin Fan saw a huge ancient tree standing majestically under the pale moon.

Under the old tree, an altar ten meters square was built, which looked like a tomb hidden in the dark night.

At this moment, on this altar, there are figures of a dozen young girls, wearing pure white dresses, with masks like civet cats on their faces, dancing some kind of ancient dance lightly.

In the cold moonlight,
The girls dance beautifully and lightly,

This scene exudes a strange and ghostly aura...

Surrounding the open space around the altar, hundreds of villagers from Xiaoxi Village gathered there. Old people, men, women, children... figures stood there, and everyone raised their faces to look up at the huge plant. An ancient tree, with a pious and awe-inspiring expression on his face.

sacred tree festival,
In Xiaoxi Village, it is the grandest festival.

It's just that at this time, the entire festival scene is dead silent, which looks very strange.

"Grandpa, big brother is here."

The little girl led Lin Fan to the bottom of the sacred tree and said.

Hearing the little girl's voice, the surrounding villagers seemed to be activated, and they all turned their faces stiffly, staring at Lin Fan's figure closely.

"Hehe, foreign guest, nice to meet you."

The old man turned around slowly. At this moment, the smile on his face seemed to be carved with a knife, and it looked a little creepy under the moonlight.

Nima, you know these two sentences, right...

"What exactly is the Divine Tree Festival?" Lin Fan felt that it was time for a showdown, so he stopped hiding and asked, "Why do you insist that I participate in this festival? What is the connection between Zhang Xu and this village? "

"Young man, I know you came here with a certain purpose."

"If you want to know the truth..." The old man stared at the ancient tree, and his voice sounded softly: "Go up to the altar and become a sacrifice to the sacred tree, and you will understand all this."

"Sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice!"

At the same time, the surrounding villagers began to shout in unison, their eyes flickering with madness, staring at Lin Fan desperately.

Lin Fan frowned. After thinking for a while, he didn't fight back. Instead, he followed the old man's instructions and stepped up the stone steps leading to the altar.

There is no doubt that the woman and man I met two days ago have become sacrifices.

And he will be the third...

No wonder, the sacred tree festival will be held every day, and it turns out that a sacrifice will be offered every time it is held.

The task of Tianyu is to investigate the secrets of Xiaoxi Village. Before learning the truth, Lin Fan did not dare to act out of line. In order to complete the Tianyu, the most stable way for him now is to compromise temporarily and take out the information from the old man. .

As for the danger,

Lin Fan wasn't worried. He was a Silver Knight anyway, so it was impossible for him to be dealt with by these ordinary people.

"Buzz!"

……

The moment Lin Fan stepped onto the altar, the huge ancient tree seemed to sense something, as if an ancient life woke up from a deep sleep and began to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, black vines extended from the old tree, sweeping towards Lin Fan like the tentacles of an octopus.

Lin Fan still did not resist.

He wanted to see what this ancient tree was.

Thousands of slender vines stretched to the top of the altar, tightly entangled Lin Fan's body, and slowly lifted it to his mouth.

At the same time, the huge torso of the ancient tree also cracked a gap, and the next moment, in Lin Fan's astonished sight, a pair of withered long sharp claws protruded from the gap and clawed hard towards the two sides. The huge creature broke free from the trunk.

It was a monster with a body length of nearly three meters. Its outline looked like a naked female body. The crimson skin was covered with mucus, and the surface seemed to be corroded by flower petals, full of coquettishness and ominous atmosphere.

Behind it, muscles like blood vessels connect it with the ancient tree.

"Yaoxie, it really is Yaoxie who is causing trouble."

Lin Fan's eyes were fixed, and he quickly recalled the information on "Yuantu" in his mind, and quickly judged the identity of the monster in front of him.

【Evil: Sakura Nest】

Yuantu: Ranked 676

Threat: D-Class

Talent: Pregnancy (This kind of evil spirit can transform the life around it, causing it to undergo unknown changes.)
ability:

1. Strange World: The place where the root system of Sakura Nest grows, can create a strange mist within the range, and generate an independent space.

2. Deception: Sakura Nest can command all the lives conceived by it to attack hostile targets.

Other capabilities, unknown.

Introduction: This kind of demon exists in the state of a plant. It is said that its seeds come from the mother plant deep in the Northern Netherland. If you encounter the cherry nest, you can run as far as you can, otherwise you will be killed by it. Transform into unknown monsters.

……

At the moment when Yaoxie appeared, Lin Fan hadn't recovered from his astonishment, and the Tower of Apocalypse appeared before his eyes again.

On the oracle panel, other places are still the same as before, but in the column of the mission description, the handwriting has undergone a huge change——

[Apocalypse Knight Lin Fan, found traces of evil spirits, please be sure to kill them! 】

No wonder the Tower of Apocalypse issued such a divine mission. Thinking about it carefully, it should be that the tower detected the strange fluctuations in this area above the astral world, so it sent the Apocalypse Knights to investigate.

If there is no accident, kill this evil spirit, and Tianyu will be considered complete.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan raised his head and looked at the monster ahead, and then he saw Yingchao's head, and the light in his eyes suddenly froze.

"Zhang Xu?!"

That's right, the head on Yingchao's body is exactly the same as Zhang Xu's senior.

The difference is that the black mark on his face is obviously much larger than in the photo, covering almost half of the face, neck and shoulders of 'Zhang Xu', and a thick black mark is radiating outward. gas.

what the hell!

For more than 100 years, Zhang Xu has not died!How the hell have you merged with a demon? !
"Zhang Xu..." Hearing Lin Fan's exclamation, there was a look of thought in that evil eye, "I haven't heard this name for 100 years. Who are you?"

While speaking, its head suddenly lifted up, its neck stretched out like a boa constrictor, stretched out in front of Lin Fan, and stared at the boy indifferently.

Perhaps, it is the reason for merging with Sakura Nest...

At this time, Zhang Xu's face was faintly feminine, and even his voice seemed to be uttered by a woman and a man together. This extreme sense of incongruity brought a strong visual and auditory impact.

Lin Fan gulped. It seemed that Zhang Xu still maintained his original sense and memory, so he hurriedly said, "Roundtable Council! This is the club you created in Qingyun School back then, and I am a member of this class."

"The Round Table Council... oh...that was a wrong decision..."

After hearing these words, Lin Fan suddenly felt a little sad.

At the beginning, he had seen Zhang Xu's alchemy notes. In Lin Fan's impression, that senior Zhang Xu should also be a person full of dreams. The original intention of the Round Table Council was also to fight against the injustice and darkness of that era.

But now, Zhang Xu's words,

Are you going to deny the significance of the Round Table Council...

Lin Fan frowned and said, "Generation after generation of students has changed in Qingyun School, and the round table council has continued. The beliefs we uphold have never changed... But why did you become like this?"

"why?"

Zhang Xu's face suddenly became crazy, and the voice in his mouth also became sharp, roaring hysterically: "Why? Because this world is an illusion! Those stars in the sky and the history of human civilization are all just deceptions. Lies! I have seen the Tower of Truth, and I know the truth of this world better than you!"

Gee...

Just talk, why are you so angry...

Lin Fan couldn't help complaining, and asked instead: "Then tell me, what is the truth?"

Zhang Xu's mental state was very unstable. He was roaring crazily just now, but now he calmed down again. Combined with his strange face, he looked like a dignified lady.

"The truth is Ming Ye."

Lin Fan: ? ? ?
"Just like the village you see, those peeling ashes are the whitewash and plating of lies and falsehoods. When they disappear, it is the truth you are looking for."

Lin Fan: "Senior, that...my Chinese score is not very good, can you explain in more detail?"

"..."

Zhang Xu was silent for a few seconds.

"It's like a spiritual realm... Civilizations have been born on this planet one after another, and these civilizations have been pursuing the Tower of Truth." Zhang Xu's python-like neck twisted and slowly lifted. Looking down at Lin Fan, he said, "However, those civilizations were all guided by lies, and eventually went to perish."

Lin Fan's heartbeat paused slightly.

Faintly, he felt that he had touched the truth about the spiritual realm.

Lin Fan hurriedly asked: "And then?"

"Then, whenever a civilization is destroyed, unknown beings will build tombs for them and preserve them in the long river of time."

So, the origin of Lingyu is like this?Is it really one grave after another?

No wonder, when he was in the Blood Moon Spirit Realm, he saw human corpses from the last civilization era.

Obviously, Senior Zhang Xu knew more than he knew.

Lin Fan continued to ask: "Who built these tombs?"

Zhang Xu: "I don't know... We, the emissaries of the Underworld Heavenly Kingdom, accept the black meteor's prophecy, and the purpose of execution is to explore the truth of the world, awaken the sleeping knights of the underworld, and welcome the arrival of the Tower of Truth..."

Lin Fan: "Then, what is a demon?"

Zhang Xu looked at Lin Fan quietly, but didn't respond, as if even he didn't know the origin of the evil spirit.

"I don't know, but when the Tower of Truth appears, all the mysteries will be explained..." Zhang Xu's voice sounded slowly, with a trace of obsession and madness, "Become my sacrifice, as long as you integrate into my body, we will have more time to search for the location of the Tower of Truth, and I...have found the right direction..."

Lin Fan shook his head and said: "Senior, I know why you merged with the evil spirits, it's to get a longer life."

Zhang Xu remained silent.

Lin Fan: "But, look at these people in Xiaoxi Village, including your relatives, right? Do you really have the heart to hurt them for your own goals?"

Zhang Xu: "On the road to truth, everything is indifferent."

As its voice fell, more vines stretched out from the ancient tree, tumbling towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan: "..."

NN legs,
Having said so much, we still have to fight.

Having said that, I really don't have the fate of the protagonist, why is this talk so useless...

"Okay, since that's the case, let's fight!"

Thinking of this, Lin Fan no longer hesitated, and the Saint Yuan Nebula in his body burst into bright light.

All of a sudden, a huge and pure power of the Holy Yuan surged out, burning like a golden flame, burning the vines around the body to ashes.

Qingyu Saint Cloth, wear it!
Oracle cloak, put it on!
Little Sky Fox, call!

Almost instantly, Lin Fan had already entered the battle preparation stage. He was suspended in mid-air and confronted Zhang Xu in the oracle cloak, and the gorgeous green feather holy clothes on his body emitted bright starlight.

Zhang Xu glanced at him lightly, retracted his head, and said, "Before that, I was curious about one thing. Although the strange fog I created would not affect ordinary people, it could isolate The light of the stars blocks all the senses of the knights, why are you able to enter here through the fog barrier?"

why?
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback.

Needless to say, because labor and management have awakened their sixth sense...

Hehe, no matter how mysterious your mist is, can it still affect the sixth sense of Aries?
"Senior Zhang Xu, this is the last time I will address you like this." Lin Fan sighed softly, and a star-suppressing sword was condensed in his hand, "I want to ask you, you really don't know what is happening on your face?" , is there a black mark?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xu's expression was obviously blank for a moment, as if he was thinking about Lin Fan's words.

And seeing his expression, Lin Fan also understood in his heart that the senior in front of him didn't know about the black lotus mark, and it seemed that this black mark was more mysterious than he imagined.

A battle is about to start.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xu's mouth suddenly opened at a terrifying angle, and he let out a series of heart-pounding roars.

Amid such a sound, all the villagers in Xiaoxi Village suddenly hugged their heads and howled in pain around the altar. Everyone's bodies, including the village chief and the little girl, began to twist and squirm.

Lin Fan was stunned to see——

The bodies of those villagers continued to inflate like balloons, doubling in size before stopping. The eyes, noses and other organs on their faces gradually disappeared, leaving only a fang full of fangs. Bloody mouth.

Behind the villagers, a pair of bat-like wings grew.

The sharp claws were stained with bright red blood...

Cherry demon? !
Lin Fan finally understood.

It turns out that the Sakura Demon that suddenly appeared recently was transformed by these villagers...

Apparently, Zhang Xu has transformed the entire village into monsters through his demonic abilities.

No, he has become a demon.

From this point of view, the real purpose of those cherry demons who are making troubles in the outside world is to search for prey and use them as sacrifices to sacrifice to Zhang Xu.
