From Prisoner to Si Chen

Tolina stood quietly on the dry wasteland, with a holy expression and clasped hands in a prayerful posture.

A black halo behind her head emitted a hazy holy light.

The monster wolf as big as a truck not far away was tightly wrapped and entangled by the darkness that suddenly emerged, forming a larger mass of deep matter.

Gurgle.

Gurgle.

The mass of matter was constantly wriggling, as if the monster wolf inside was struggling desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of darkness.

Wow! !

Its head suddenly emerged from the darkness, and the asymmetrical eyes on its narrow wolf face showed fear.

Together with a row of heads behind its neck, they all roared in unison, producing a resonant tremor:

"What kind of power is this?!"

But as soon as it finished speaking, the darkness spread again, climbed onto its face, and quickly swallowed it.

The strange wolf roared:

"No! No no no no!! I am the Father God's messenger on earth, an invincible existence in the world! How could I be trapped here--"

The roar stopped abruptly.

Obviously, this strange wolf, which brought together the leaders and high-level members of the "Tian Nie Cult", had tried its best, but still could not break free from the darkness, and finally formed a dark sphere.

I saw Tolina release her hands from the folded palm, raised her right palm, and slowly closed her five fingers to make a fist.

Buzz--

The black sphere that blocked the strange wolf began to deform, and in a few seconds, it turned into a huge black coffin standing upright!

Seeing this, Jilan teleported in tacit understanding and stopped in the air in front of the coffin.

He pulled out his hand and took out the "Philosopher's Sword", handed it forward gracefully, and directly pierced the upper half of the coffin.

Swoosh! !

There was a muffled sound, accompanied by a faint scream.

Jilan let go and tapped the end of the hilt.

"Refine." He said lightly.

Crack!

Silver-white arcs flashed, bursting from Jilan's fingertips, spreading to the sword body, and reaching the darkness inside the coffin.

Zizizizizi! !

In an instant, a piercing scream sounded in the coffin, and the surface of the black coffin seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, shining.

But Jilan raised his eyebrows.

He sensed that the monster wolf trapped inside was not dead yet!

After suffering an alchemical refining and decomposition, the body of the monster wolf had obviously collapsed, but it ignited flames in the countless powders and was reborn again.

This weird thing was the first time Jilan encountered it.

From this, we can also see that the power of the old gods is not simple.

The resurrection of the monster wolf is not without price. Dense scars appeared on its body, and blood kept oozing out.

"I won't die..."

A muffled roar came from the coffin.

And the roar of struggling and colliding.

Boom, boom, boom! !

"Gilan Ilos, you can't kill me! You can't trap me! Soon, I will bring the wrath of the Father to every corner of the world, and let everything burn in chaos and slaughter!!"

"Will not die?"

Gilan sneered.

He doesn't have such a thing.

"Correct the mistakes, and you can't be resurrected."

Gilan raised an index finger and pointed it at the black coffin. Immediately, countless translucent numbers of "0" and "1" emerged from it and floated straight.

He stroked the hilt of the sword again and said in a deep voice:

"Refine!"

Crack! !

The silver-white arc appeared again, spreading along the sword to the inside of the coffin, hitting the monster wolf.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

A scream sounded.

Following the other party's hateful shouting:

"Everything that can't kill me will make me stronger! Gilan Ilos!! My anger will burn you all!!"

But soon, the shouting suddenly stopped.

Everything fell into silence.

Hiss...

The electric arc flickered a few times and finally dissipated.

Tolina walked over and whispered:

"I can no longer sense its existence."

"Well, it's dead." Jilan said, pulling out the scarlet sword stuck in the coffin, and then landed smoothly. "The so-called immortality is only relative... Its power comes from the gift of 'Scar Father', and naturally it cannot transcend the restrictions of the law."

He chuckled and shook his head.

In fact, the monster wolf is not weak, but very powerful.

If any apostle's mutual self came to the world and fought with it, it would probably be very difficult to kill it.

But unfortunately, he met Jilan.

His ability and status restrained the monster wolf, making it unable to use its skills...What's more, with the help of Tolina, the Sichen Biwo, the other party's death was already doomed.

Gulu...

The black coffin was seen squirming, and then melting into a ball like wax, and then in mid-air.

The huge monster wolf that was originally sealed inside has disappeared, leaving only an irregular cross symbol, which is floating in the air, and is constantly bleeding and dripping.

"Hmm?" Seeing this, Jilan stretched out his hand.

The bleeding cross symbol slowly flew into his hand along the traction and was grabbed by him.

The restlessness of "Banlan" and "Bilan" appeared again, as if they were very eager for it.

Soon, a row of colorful crooked entries emerged:

"Evil Scar."

"The unique power imprint inside the secret cult "Tian Nie Cult" comes from the believers' devout prayers to the old god "Scar Father", and is a reward in exchange for a certain ritual. Engraved on the flesh, it can be exchanged for the power afterimage of the company."

"At the same time, this is also a symbol of the integration between the leader of the 'Heavenly Evil Cult' and the higher-ups, who can control all living individuals with 'grey scars' engraved on them."

"The evildoer will be connected with the first Si Sui, suffer trauma and pain all the time, and be infected with the strong hatred and murderous intention of the gods."

"This is..." Jilan narrowed his eyes. "The superior brand of 'Grey Scar', the highest level gift from 'Father Scar'."

He realized that this was obviously the brand of the old gods on the same level as the "Blood Moon Seal".

Without any hesitation, Jilan directly let go of control of "Banlan".

Buzz! !

The bleeding cross mark on the palm was wrapped in a ball of colored light, which seemed to arouse its anger and began to tremble violently.

The confrontation between the two caused strong energy fluctuations, and the mysterious magnetic field radiated irregularly, distorting the surrounding horizon.

But the result is just like the "Blood Moon Seal". This "evil scar" was eventually defeated by the "beautiful" and was forcibly devoured by corruption.

Gillan's panel changed again.

"Believers of the Old Gods (owners of blood moon seals and evil scars)."

After wiping out two high-level officials of the Old God Secret Sect, and now taking advantage of the opportunity to obtain two of the highest-level Old God Brands, Jilan nodded with satisfaction.

“Only the last ‘Golden Bough of Dawn’ remains to be reckoned with.”

Gillan spoke.

He turned around and said to the girl:

"Without further ado, let's get going."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Torina smiled slightly, took the initiative to reach out and took Gilan's arm.

Jilan took a step forward and teleported away with the girl.

…

…

The sun sets.

It's getting late.

In the northeastern part of the empire, in a mountain range thousands of kilometers away from the capital Musixiti, there was deathly silence.

This is located at the eastern end of the Russell Mountains in the far north of the empire, equivalent to the shoulders of the "continental collarbone". It is also north of the Kawo Prefecture Forest Area and is inaccessible.

In the ice and snow, there is no green left.

Only the land and dead trees covered with thick white snow, as well as a few snowbirds fluttering their maroon wings with black stripes, flashed through the forest.

Two figures, a man and a woman, shuttled through it, like two inconspicuous black spots.

"Did the last remaining Old God Secret Cult escape here?"

The black-haired girl sighed, holding the young man's big hand, looking around, and whispered.

"Yeah." Jilan nodded. "The leaders and senior officials of the Golden Branch of Dawn seem to have stayed in this area. To continue north, you need to cross the Russell Mountains, which is already outside the empire's boundaries, but there is only a desolate land without a country. There is no city.”

"I see."

Torina nodded.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly noticed that a snowbird flying in the air stopped on a dead branch, but suddenly fell to its death without warning and fell into the snow.

After a muffled sound.

The snow bird's body disappeared.

"Huh?" Jilan teleported over, squatted down to check, and found a hole the size of a finger where the snowbird disappeared.

It seemed that some creature had dragged Xueqiao's body away from the ground.

Jilan directly unfolded his own perception and explored the underground... This exploration actually made him quite different.

Because the piece of land you are stepping on looks ordinary, but in fact it is covered with dense golden roots.

These roots seem to be alive, pulsating slightly like blood vessels, and a few of them will wriggle like earthworms.

"Golden Bough..."

Gillan murmured.

Torina came over. She seemed to sense something strange in the ground and couldn't help but ask:

"We didn't see any creatures along the way. Could it be that they were all killed and digested by these golden roots?"

"That's probably true."

Gillan nodded.

Torina asked again:

"Is this the method of the old mysterious sect?"

"I haven't seen it before, but it's very similar..."

Gillan said truthfully.

"If nothing else, it should be them."

But he was very confused, wondering what the "Golden Branches of Dawn" had done to make the mountains and fields covered with so many golden roots.

All in all, this is not a good thing.

"There seems to be a small village ahead."

At this time, Torina whispered again.

"Want to take a look?"

"Village..." Ji Lan frowned slightly. "There are only a very small number of aboriginal people in this area. They belong to a branch of the ancient Xilu ethnic group, called the Yade tribe. They still retain the living habits of the medieval period."

As he said this, he had a bad premonition.

Because the believers of the old gods in "The Golden Bough of Dawn" are not kind people. If the aboriginal people here meet them, they may encounter something unexpected.

"Go and have a look."

Gillan said.

He led the girl across the snow and walked straight forward.

Soon.

A small, small village came into view.

The place is simply protected with fences, presumably because there are no large beasts.

Looking from the outside, you can find some stone and wooden bungalows. But the strange thing is that there is no human figure.

The two entered the village silently.

Perceivably, there were no signs of life on the road or in the house.

The snow is falling heavier and heavier, as if goose feathers and white catkins are falling all over the sky, seeming to bury the village in winter.

"It seems that these aborigines are in serious danger."

Jilan said solemnly.

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the depths of the village, frowning slightly, as if he had discovered something.

"Something is wrong over there..."

He gestured to the girl.

"Let's go over and take a look."

"Okay."

Tolina agreed softly.

The two soon arrived at the depths of the village.

When Gilan saw the scene here, his pupils shrank, and even Tolina covered her mouth in shock.

There was a towering "tree" standing in the open space, but the trunk and branches were made of human corpses.

These corpses were men and women, old and young, but they had no clothes. They had long been frozen into ice sculptures, and their faces were still wearing strange smiles of joy and satisfaction before death.

At the same time, golden blood vessels appeared on the surface of their skin, as if they were parasitized by something.

There were also nine huge yellow-brown skin bags hanging on this "tree", like "fruits".

Gilan's perception swept through it and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Because each of the bulges was wrapped with a curled-up dried corpse.

Even though these dried corpses were dead, they still retained a strong aura, and they were definitely not weak when they were alive.

'It's the leader and senior executives of the "Golden Branch of Dawn". '

Jilan thought.

'They are all dead...'

This is really weird.

Originally, I chased them all the way, but I didn't expect that the leader and senior executives of the "Golden Branch of Dawn" would die here.

Jilan frowned and stepped forward, carefully looking at the "corpse tree", and soon found something.

The surface of each "skin bag fruit" is painted with extremely fine symbols and imprints, which are difficult to detect without careful observation. These parts that belong to a certain ritual are complete only when they are put together.

And under this "corpse tree", countless golden roots spread out and spread out in all directions.

'So the golden branches found along the way actually originated from here. '

Jilan understood something in his heart.

At the same time, he had a bigger doubt.

That is, what exactly did the "Golden Branch of Dawn" do?

The only thing that is certain is that they sacrificed themselves and the people of the entire village, completed a ritual pointing to the "Mother of Propagation", and created such a strange "tree".

"I can feel that the creatures of the entire mountain range are in pain, and this pain is spreading outward, constantly absorbing nutrients and continuing to grow..."

Torina's voice came.

Hearing this, Jilan guessed.

"You mean, if it is not curbed, the roots of this tree can continue to grow outward and spread to more distant areas?"

"Yes." Tolina nodded.

"It seems that all the believers of the old gods are crazy. They not only ignore the lives of others, but also their own lives... They all sacrificed themselves to the "Mother of Propagation" and tried to pollute the world with this "tree."

Jilan said in a deep voice.

"If we come a little later, the scope of the roots will be uncontrollable. At that time, it may be difficult to deal with."

"What should we do now?"

Torina looked up at the terrifying tree and said.

Jilan said firmly:

"Erase it from this world!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of thread-like roots suddenly bloomed under their feet, wriggling and swaying like countless parasites, attacking them——
