Rebirth of the willow tree, creating the strongest tribe in the ages

Chapter 899 Plateau Passage
This was not the first time the butcher had seen a sarcophagus used as an altar. He had even seen even weirder altars.

It happened not just once, but many times, and that's why he was able to react in the first time.

However, all altars must follow certain rules.

Only in this way can one communicate with the altar and exercise the power of sacrifice.

It is definitely not the case that you can just pick up any object and use it.

It is definitely not something that can be used by just arranging it a few times.

The butcher looked horrified because of the finger bone and the half broken tooth.

Although he didn't know what these two things were used for, the ominous aura they emitted made him feel a chill in his spine.

The butcher was stunned, his eyes narrowed, and he dared not move forward.

The Emperor has clearly stated that the mysterious force is the mastermind behind the dark turmoil.

The dark creatures that caused the nine heavens and ten earths to be in turmoil and the fairyland to be complacent were nothing more than a weakened version of the strange power. However, even if it was a weakened version, it directly created four dark quasi-immortal emperors.

He is skilled and bold, he is reckless, but he is not a fool.

In fact, for an old monster like him who has lived for countless tens of millions of years and witnessed countless planets going from prosperity to extinction, which one of them is really a fool?

It's just his personality, and he is extremely confident in his own abilities, so he doesn't want to think about those crooked and awkward things.

Today is different from the past...

A more vast and spectacular world unfolds before us.

His little bit of skill is nothing at all.

There is always someone better than you, so don't act rashly in this situation.

Looking up, the butcher seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly looked at the four red-painted wooden pillars.

Only then did I realize that it was not just red paint, but each beam was carved with intricate totems, winding up.

The pattern is twisted and hideous, resembling both an animal and a word.

He looked at it carefully for a long time but still couldn't understand what it meant. He had to use his magical powers to copy all the patterns on the totems.

Throughout the whole process, the butcher was extremely careful.

It was something that could be done with just a thought, but it took nearly three times longer.

After doing all this, the butcher's gaze finally fixed on the incense burner, black finger bones, and black broken teeth above the sarcophagus.

There is no incense in the incense burner, but it seems to be filled with some ancient and mysterious fragrance.

The aroma made the butcher feel dizzy, as if thousands of voices were whispering in his ears, driving him crazy.

The black finger bones were long and thin, with a faint black sheen on the surface. They were not just bones, but were covered with a layer of skin, like old dried fish that had been exposed to the sun for many days. They looked very weird.

In the gaps between the severed fingers, there was a layer of dark mud stains that shone with a black glow.

That soil...

Just one glance and the butcher was horrified. He groaned in his heart and immediately looked away.

Earth is even more evil.

Clearly, they were just some tiny dust particles, but looking at them it felt like one was facing a vast and boundless world. One's mind was almost being sucked in, and the ominous aura emanating from them became even stronger.

The half-broken tooth had jagged cracks, as if it had been broken off in a hurry without much preparation and placed here with force. There was even some mud stains on it.

The weird thing is the soil.

The butcher suddenly realized.

He didn't dare to act rashly, nor did he dare to use his magical powers to copy the scene here as he had just done.

His intuition told him that if he did that, it would most likely cause something extremely ominous.

Although I don't understand what this soil represents.

But years of experience have told him that if he doesn't know what's going on, it's best not to touch it or move it, otherwise he won't know how he died.

Fortunately, they were very cautious along the way, and even when they attacked those polluted dark creatures, they only stopped at a certain point and did not pursue them relentlessly.
The butcher secretly thanked himself for not acting rashly, and immediately backed away slowly and cautiously.

Everything was normal at the altar, and no strange phenomena occurred.

No one knows where the small sarcophagus is placed and what it is used for.

After a while, the butcher exited the abyss and returned to the ground, but his whole body was soaked like an ordinary person.

The fog was still thick all around.

The butcher took a deep breath, mobilized all his strength, cleaned his clothes, and took a step forward. His figure left a trail of afterimages on the spot, and he quickly returned at a speed several times faster than when he came.

entrance.

The old prince stared at the black fog that was rolling like a tide in front of him, almost wanting to see it through.

Although the black tide no longer spread outward, the dark creatures inside would still run out from time to time. Of course, every one of them was very weak. Even after becoming dark creatures and gaining strength, they were still too weak and were all killed by him.

This is a small matter. He is really worried that something might happen to the butcher.
The other party's current identity is special. He is not only a peerless villain from several epochs ago, but also a special envoy of the holy land.

Dual identity.

If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be something that a mere quasi-king like him cannot afford to bear.

This is also because the old prince has a mellow temperament.

If it were someone with deep cunningness, he would definitely hope for something to happen.

After all, even if something happens, it is all because of this strange place and has nothing to do with me.

Moreover, in this way, the Holy Land will naturally focus more on this place, and maybe the Emperor will come.

By then, no matter who is in charge of garrisoning here, they will just have to obey the emperor's orders, and the pressure will be greatly reduced invisibly.

Just when the old prince was worried,
A figure suddenly rushed out from the rolling inky black fog.

The figure was burly and powerful, as if he was stepping on heaven and earth, and he directly swept the tide aside.

The old prince took a closer look, and after seeing who was coming, he exhaled and hurried forward:
"Your Majesty the Special Envoy!"

The old prince-in-waiting hurriedly came forward, bowed and saluted, his voice filled with relief, "I'm so glad you're safe and sound!"

The butcher paused slightly, his eyes swept over the old prince, and then nodded.

The fact that the other party was able to wait for him here showed that he was a very affectionate person.

He spoke seriously and warned: "Old Prince, you should not stay here for long. I have set up a formation around this strange place, which can isolate it from spreading to a certain extent. On weekdays, do not let anyone get close to it easily, so as to avoid accidents and contamination by the ominous."

Upon hearing this, the old prince nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Don't worry, senior. I will guard it strictly to ensure that no one trespasses."

"So good."

Before he finished speaking, the butcher seemed to remember something, took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to the old prince.

The old prince took the jade slip with both hands and felt the spiritual power flowing through it, and was surprised.

"Through this, you can contact me."

Upon hearing this, the old prince immediately tightened his grip and made up his mind not to tell anyone, not even his own father.

Otherwise, the old man would definitely come to snatch it away with a licking face.

The butcher reminded again: "If there are any changes in the formation, or if there are any signs of expansion of the strange land, you must inform me immediately. Although I have set up many measures, everything is subject to change. You still cannot be careless here. Do you understand and keep it in mind?"

These words already sounded a bit like an order.

However, upon hearing this, the old prince hurriedly nodded solemnly. If Senior Butcher had not been concerned about the safety of this place, how could he have said this!
"it is good."

The butcher grunted, turned around, and turned into a streak of light, rushing away hurriedly into the distance.

The butcher rushed across the starry sea at lightning speed.

Before dawn, he had already rushed back to Liu Village.

After returning to the village, the butcher continued to rush up the mountain.

When they reached the top of the mountain, a magnificent palace appeared in front of them. It was extremely noble and surrounded by nine golden dragons. It was soul-stirring and majestic.

The butcher did not move forward, but stood outside the door and said respectfully to the inside of the hall: "Sir, the butcher has something important to ask for your attention."

Jiang Huai was resting in the house. When he heard the butcher's voice, he slowly opened his eyes and appeared in front of the butcher in a flash. "What's the urgent matter?"

The butcher first bowed deeply, and then hurriedly told Jiang Huai in detail what he saw and heard in the crack.

Including the altar, the incense burner on the sarcophagus, the black finger bones and the black broken teeth. At the same time, he presented the engraved totem jade with both hands and handed it to Jiang Huai respectfully.

"You did very well."

Jiang Huai nodded, but his heart sank slightly.

He had been observing that strange place for so many days, but had never found any sarcophagus, altar, finger bones, or teeth.

This can only mean that there is something strange about that altar, it is extraordinary, otherwise how could it be possible to isolate even one's five senses! ?
If the butcher had not risked his life and taken a huge risk to enter the abyss, he would probably still be in the dark.

It is indeed worthy of praise.

After presenting it to the jade stone for engraving and putting it away, Jiang Huai said calmly: "You have both made contributions, but what credit do you want?"

The butcher knelt down quickly, put his hands on his forehead, and said with great fear, "I only want to do things for you, sir. I never dare to ask for any credit."

Jiang Huai smiled bitterly in his heart. He was not a tyrant, so why should he be so cautious? He was not the butcher who killed the king like slaughtering a pig.

He said in a deep voice: "Butcher, you don't need to do this. Here, rewards and punishments are just natural. You have done a good deed, so you will be rewarded. It's not like I can't afford the reward. So, I will give you this thing."

Jiang Huai stretched out his hand and grabbed at the void.

Immediately, a small and exquisite shrine appeared in his hand.

However, there was no statue in the shrine, it was empty.

"This thing is called Wuxiang. It can nourish one's own soul inside. Even if the soul is destroyed, it can be resurrected inside. But remember, there is only one chance to resist the calamity that must be killed."

The butcher was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, his eyes burning, but he didn't dare to take it.

It's really too expensive.

In the whole world, he has never heard of a treasure that can offset the killing calamity of the soul, except for this one from the Lord.

Although he was envious, the butcher felt that he had not done anything meritorious. He just went down to the abyss and brought back some information. How could he be worthy of such a treasure?

Seeing the butcher's hesitation, Jiang Huai said, "Butcher, I'm giving you a treasure, why don't you accept it?"

The butcher was terrified, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he trembled and said, "Sir, how can I dare to accept such a valuable item?"

"You don't need to be so frightened. I gave you the treasure because you are qualified to possess it. You went deep into the abyss this time and brought back important information. This is a great achievement. What is a mere imageless shrine to you?"

The butcher no longer refused and took the statueless shrine with trembling hands, as if he was accepting not only a treasure, but also the trust and expectations of the adults.

He bowed deeply, and bowed again to the bottom, his voice trembling slightly: "Sir, the butcher will definitely live up to your expectations, and will go through fire and water for you in the future!"

Feeling the other party's faith value increase, Jiang Huai nodded with satisfaction and said, "First, nourish your soul in it. If you encounter danger in the future, you will have a way to save your life."

The butcher took the shrine with both hands, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then followed Jiang Huai's instructions and integrated a trace of his soul into it.

There was a flash of light from the shrine, and the butcher's figure appeared and disappeared in the shrine, as if it had merged into one with the shrine.

Feeling the mysterious connection with his own spirit coming from the shrine, the butcher became even more excited. He bowed again and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, sir."

"Okay, let's step back."

The butcher bowed respectfully: "Yes, sir, I will take my leave."

Watching the butcher leave, Jiang Huai's gaze became profound, his mind sank slightly, and he sank directly into the jade.

After seeing the totem pattern clearly, he directly used the detection technique.

Soon, information that only Jiang Huai could see appeared.

Name: Cursed Totem

Introduction: An ancient totem from an ominous place, it comes from a certain vein.

Purpose: communicate with ancestral land, worship
There was not much information, only a few lines, but it could be seen that the butcher's guess was not wrong, there was indeed a place for sacrificial offerings under the abyss.

"It seems that I need to go there in person to find out what's going on."

Jiang Huai withdrew his mind and took a small step forward.

The next moment, the surrounding scene changed drastically in an instant.

When I looked again, I had already reached the abyss.

With one step, the distance can be shortened to an unknown distance. It would take a butcher a whole day to cover this distance even if he exerted all his strength, but for Jiang Huai, it was just one step.

This is the gap between the emperor and the king.

in front of you.

The black fog gradually dissipated, revealing its true appearance.
Red-painted wooden pillars supported the four corners, like bloody mouths that would bite anyone they met, and a stone coffin ran across there.

Just as the butcher had said, there was an ash burner without any incense, a severed finger, and a broken tooth.

Without saying a word, Jiang Huai immediately used his detective skills to look at them one by one.

The detection technique scanned the sarcophagus, the ash burner, the black finger bones and the black broken teeth one by one.

Soon, information that only he could see emerged like flowing water.
