Pirate's silver-winged evil star

Chapter 98: Sacred Tree Festival

A few days passed quickly, and soon the date for the Sacred Tree Festival arrived. Early in the morning, the sun-shielding island was declared closed, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

Since they were notified a week in advance, no one dared to have any objections. Some people with ulterior motives who were planning to cause trouble were easily suppressed. They would be investigated and eventually thrown into the prison of the Underdark.

To this day, preparations for the Sacred Tree Festival are still in progress. Even though the main process has been determined, individual loopholes can always be found in the details and need to be solved.Even Charles can't be perfect in this aspect, there are too many random factors.

By noon, the busy people stopped, and there were less than two hours left before the Sacred Tree Festival.

The sacred tree festival will start at two o'clock in the afternoon and continue until the evening, for several hours.

At Chen Sheng's instruction, Palut specifically removed the fog barrier today, allowing the entire Sun-shielding Island to see the light of day again, which surprised many people.

As the festival was about to begin, everyone gathered in the open space in front of the Star Stronghold. After several days of renovation, a thousands-square-meter high platform was erected, and many seats were placed around the high platform.

Chen Sheng changed into a sacrificial costume from the ancient Chinese dynasty. After studying it for most of his life, Chen Sheng was very familiar with these costumes and could make them in any clothing store.

In his hand was a bunch of wooden staffs with gold ornaments hanging on them. These were branches just taken from an ancient tree, with buds from the ancient tree still on them.

Not only the aborigines of Sunlight Island, but also many curious hunters stayed to participate in the festival. A total of hundreds or even thousands of people sat closely below, eagerly anticipating the start of the festival.

In the center of the high platform are the managers of the Hunter Guild and some outsiders, the most famous of whom is the president Morgans. At the invitation of Chen Sheng, Morgans visited Sunlight Island again, and he recorded the entire process of the festival. .

Chen Sheng stood in the center of the high platform with a ceremonial staff, saluted to the ancient tree, and then said loudly to everyone:

"Everyone is silent! The auspicious time has arrived! The festival begins!"

"Fortunately, I am protected by the sacred tree and live in a corner of the floating world."

"Today we have a grand sacrificial ceremony to repay the grace of the sacred tree for its protection. The first ceremony is: the flower of spring!"

As Chen Sheng finished speaking, Brooke played his violin, and the music was many pieces from the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Under the melodious music, two children, Delinger and Perona, dressed in custom-made dresses, walked to the high platform each carrying a jar. They stood next to Chen Sheng, one on the left and one on the right. They carefully placed the jar in front of them and opened the lid. , which is full of soil, and this soil is full of mysterious seeds.

"When the spring breeze passes, all things come into being. Spring is the beginning of the four seasons and the source of hope, so we offer the newly born spirit to the sacred tree."

With that said, Chen Sheng took out two small bottles of transparent liquid from his arms and poured the liquid in the bottles into the jars. Chen Sheng took Delinger and Perona back a few steps to make room for the two jars.

"Stand up! Praise the new students!"

At Chen Sheng's order, everyone stood up and stared at the two jars, curious to know what changes would happen next.

Not long after Chen Sheng poured the liquid, the two seeds broke out of their shells and sprouted. The two green shoots began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a minute, they grew into a low tree over half a meter tall.

After growing to this height, the two seeds stopped growing and instead produced more branches and leaves. Soon they produced one blue and one purple fruit respectively.

The two fruits are only the size of ordinary apples and are oval-shaped, but they look extremely attractive from the outside, making people want to pick them off and take a bite.

These two seeds were exchanged by Chen Sheng from heaven. They were degraded from the rainbow fruits in the captive world of gourmet food. They did not have as rich and exaggerated taste as the rainbow fruits, but they were still one of the top delicacies.

The two fruit trees at this time have just been born. After the festival, they will be transplanted into the soil. They will continue to grow by then. After entering the maturity stage, each fruit tree can reach dozens of fruits every year.

Those two bottles of liquid are specially customized nutrient solutions, because the growth environment required by fruit trees cannot be perfectly reproduced in the pirate world. If you want them to grow healthily, these nutrients are also necessary.

"After the ceremony, please invite the spirit of the sacred tree."

Let everyone sit down, Chen Sheng said again.

A group of honey-recovering insects flew out of the hole of the ancient tree, flew around the two fruit trees several times, and two of them flew out and picked the fruits, and finally returned to the hole together.

Then, dozens more recovery honey bugs flew out. The difference was that there were recovery honeys of different volumes hanging under their bodies, ranging from ordinary recovery honey to recovery gummies.

After the honey flew out, the staff who had been prepared immediately came up with containers to collect the honey.

Concentrated into a huge container, this container looks like a giant mango and is just big enough for a person to lie in it.

"The sacred tree has a spirit, and all things come to life. The gift of spring naturally has a spirit."

"Get the gift from the sacred tree and start the rebirth ceremony."

"Master Shigetsuki Kozaburo please!"

At Chen Sheng's invitation, Shigetsuki Kozaburo came up wearing a light yukata, and under Chen Sheng's arrangement, he lay down in a container filled with recovery honey.

Chen Sheng took out the reply gummy he had just received and handed it to Kozaburo Shigetsuki to hold in his mouth.

The indigenous people who had received the news long ago sat cross-legged on the ground, stretched out their arms to grab each other's arms, and everyone began to swing their bodies according to the same pattern. At the same time, mycelium grew out of the ground, connecting everyone together. .

Then Chen Sheng said:

"The rebirth ceremony begins, please ask the sacred tree for help!"

More than a dozen rattans hang down from the ancient tree. These rattans seem to have their own consciousness and are connected to the sockets reserved in the container. Two of the rattans are also connected to the back of Shigetsuki Kozaburo's neck and the back of his head respectively.

"The ceremony begins, be silent!"

Chen Sheng stretched out his hands to drag Shigetsuki Kozaburo's head to prevent him from being immersed in the recovery honey and affecting his breathing.

As the light spots left along the vines, a bright but not dazzling light bloomed in the container where Shigetsuki Kozaburo was resting. After more than ten seconds, the light dissipated, and Shigetsuki Kozaburo's change surprised everyone.

At this time, Shigetsuki Kozaburo still looked as old as before. His body was at least twenty years younger, all the white hair on his head had turned black, and all the scars on his body had disappeared.

Even Kozaburo Shigetsuki himself was surprised. He sat up straight in the container. Kozaburo Shigetsuki stared blankly at his hand, unable to believe that it was his own hand.

"The ceremony is over, clean up the ceremony table!"

Under Chen Sheng's command, seven or eight people came up from the stage, moved the containers and fruit trees away, and cleaned the table. The first process ended.

"Sparasi! There is such a miracle!"

The change in Shigetsuki Kozaburo made Morgans unable to close his mouth. What is the difference between this and changing to another person?The changes during the period are said to be worse than a generation, and some people believe it!

Not to mention Morgans, even Chen Sheng's students were shocked. Not only had his injuries been cured, but had he become so young?

The most shocking ones are Koushiro and Kuina. As members of Kozaburo Shigezuki's family, they know Kozaburo Shigetsuki's physical condition better than anyone else.

Shigetsuki Kozaburo had already settled his funeral arrangements with them, and was waiting for the end to come. He didn't expect that the therapeutic effect Chen Sheng said would be so powerful!

This ritual looks magical, but in essence it still uses the advanced recovery techniques recorded on the cross for treatment. Those light spots are just some fluorescein, just to disguise the power of the cross.In this way, Chen Sheng's ability to cure any disease has a reasonable explanation.

However, Chen Sheng didn't give him too much time. After cleaning the gift table, he immediately continued:

"At the turn of spring and summer, the breeze supports the willows. The second ritual: the charm of summer."

"Carrying the hope of spring, brewing the richness of autumn, summer is the ardent fire, so we offer sacrifices to the sacred tree with the intention of all living beings!"

"Please protect the giant god, Behemoth!"

Under the auspices of Chen Sheng, a huge figure walked in from the entrance. The purple-black body was full of oppression. Everyone involuntarily lowered their bodies, as if this could protect themselves.

Beamon slowly walked to the ceremony platform, pointed his gaze at the ancient tree, and slowly bent down to show respect.

After saluting, Behemoth stood up in front of everyone, looked up to the sky and let out a deafening roar!

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!"

"Roar!"

Behemoth's roar echoed within the island, and the sound waves traveled hundreds of kilometers without disappearing, covering the entire Sunshielding Island.

A few minutes later, the earth began to tremble, and countless ferocious beasts came from all directions. They rushed here immediately in response to Beamon's call.

When the ferocious beasts were about to arrive, Chen Sheng said again:

"All living beings salute!"

Following Chen Sheng's order, Chen Sheng personally took the lead and transformed into the appearance of a celestial comet dragon, flying in the air.Luo, Jack and others also activated their Devil Fruit abilities and transformed into different appearances.At the same time, the background music also changes and becomes the most classic theme song of Pirates of the Caribbean.

"Roar!!!" *N

Various roars came from different locations, mainly surrounding the two ancient dragons Chen Sheng and Luo (Palu was still hiding in the dark and did not participate), and everyone showed off their abilities in different ways.

Boom Dragon, Thunder Wolf Dragon, Resentful Tiger Dragon, Barbarian Jaw Dragon, Thunder Elongated Dragon, Bubble Fox Dragon, Flying Thunder Dragon...

Power, thunder and lightning, fire, bubbles, all kinds of different abilities emerge in endlessly.

Several giant beasts with different appearances are scattered in different locations, attracting the attention of different people.The ferocious beasts coming from nearby also crouched and screamed one after another around them, looking at the many giant beasts with awe in their eyes.

"Sbarasi! So many magical fruits, so powerful!"

As everyone transformed, Beamon's oppression was instantly dispersed. Morgans also took the opportunity to start taking photos to record the festival.

The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the two ancient dragons Chen Sheng and Luo. With the power of ancient dragons, they are unmatched by others in terms of momentum and energy.

Luo controlled a large amount of liquid metal to turn into feather-like sharp blades. The densely packed sharp blades were suspended in different corners of the venue. The reflected light illuminated Si Yinlong in the center. Under the light, Luo looked very handsome and domineering.

Chen Sheng flew in the sky, and the scarlet dragon energy gathered in Chen Sheng's hands, forming a round and unstable energy ball.

When the dragon energy was compressed to a certain extent, Chen Sheng raised his hands above his head, and the red energy ball the size of a bowling ball began to spread, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a red sphere like a miniature sun.

'Gaia energy cannon! '

Chen Sheng thought to himself and sent the red sun in his hand to the clouds. Soon a violent explosion exploded in the sky, clearing the clouds covering dozens of kilometers in radius.

After everyone finished showing off, Behemoth slowly started to move, and it straightened up, with a blue light flashing on its face.

With Beamon's ability, the air pressure on the sea gradually decreased. After a few minutes, two huge tornadoes formed on the seaside, and soon developed into huge water tornadoes. This is a miracle of dragons absorbing water.

However, this was just the beginning. Not only tornadoes, but also thunder and lightning and meteorites followed. For a while, the sea seemed to have entered the end of the world, and the stormy waves kept hitting the shore.

The terrifying power of the hurricane even affected the festival site. It was like a Category [-] typhoon, and many people were a little unsteady.

Finally, with the sound of an explosion, these supernatural phenomena disappeared together. A large number of fish were scattered in every corner of the island, and fish meat fell from the sky!

When the surroundings quieted down, everyone was wet, but no one dared to complain. They were all frightened by Behemoth's ability and didn't know what expression to make.

"If it's so terrifying, even the reincarnation of the Pirate King will be nothing more than this!" Morgans stammered.

When Roger was executed, he was also on the scene to record first-hand information, but even Roger couldn't have imagined such a natural disaster, right?

After the show of strength was over, Chen Sheng returned to the podium and said:

"Use the power of all sentient beings to offer sacrifices to the sacred tree and pray for the blood of the sacred beast!"

As if hearing Chen Sheng's request, two branches hung down from the crown of the ancient tree, and two flower buds were placed side by side in front of Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng tapped the flower buds with both hands, and the two flower buds bloomed immediately. In the center of the two flowers, two fruits were lying quietly among them.

These two fruits are the Raptor Fruit and the Shadow Spider Fruit. They are the only two fruits in Chen Sheng's hand that have not yet been distributed.

After carefully putting away the two Devil Fruits, Chen Sheng said again:

"Thank you for the grace of the sacred tree. The second ceremony is over. Clean the ceremony table!"

The ground was full of rolled up fish. This time it took more time to clean up. After the thorough cleaning was completed, Chen Sheng returned to the center of the ceremony table and said:

"The third gift: the fruit of autumn! Autumn leaves fall and grains ripen. Autumn is the season of harvest, so we praise the sacred tree with delicious food!"

"Start the food festival!"

Following Chen Sheng's order, plate after plate of delicious food with all colors, aromas and flavors was brought out from the Hunter Guild Headquarters, including a huge grilled whole fish.

The grilled fish was several times larger than an average truck, and it was conservatively estimated to be enough to feed hundreds of people.

Distributing their respective meals to everyone, everyone began to enjoy dinner under Chen Sheng's command.

Zhepu's cooking skills are quite good, and this carefully prepared dinner is extremely delicious. The main course is Neptune meat, roasted with restored honey, paired with fruits and vegetables and fine wine. After the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and everyone was very happy. satisfy.

After everyone finished dinner, another group of people pushed special fertilizer to the ancient tree. Chen Sheng was responsible for directing the fertilizer to be spread at the fertilization site of the ancient tree.

These fertilizers were carefully developed by Chen Sheng based on his own pharmacological knowledge. They are effective and quick to produce. However, they also contain farmyard manure as raw material, which is not suitable for carrying out at dinner.

After the fertilization was completed, Chen Sheng said again:

"The food festival is over, please welcome the sacred tree!"

Chen Sheng waved the ceremonial staff in his hand, and nearly ten fruits could be seen growing on the crown of the ancient tree. After a few minutes, the fruits finished growing, ripened and fell off, falling on the ceremony stage.

Each fruit weighs more than ten kilograms, which is much larger than a watermelon. It contains many nutrients concentrated in it and is an absolute tonic.

Chen Sheng did not deceive Koushiro at first. These fruits were indeed important raw materials for making secret medicine. The only difference was their yield.

The ancient tree is controlled by a wisdom center. As long as the nutrition is sufficient, Chen Sheng can condense as many fruits as he wants, and the number of recovery gummies is also large. As long as Chen Sheng is willing, he can make dozens of secret medicines in a day.However, externally Chen Sheng must limit the quantity of the secret medicine and maintain its price and rarity.

After collecting the fruits of the sacred tree, Chen Sheng looked solemn and said:

"The third ceremony is over, and the final ceremony begins: Winter's Contents!"

"Winter is silence, the end, the end of everything, and the cradle of all things. Winter is the end of the four seasons, the break between the old and the new, so we praise the sacred tree with silence!"

"Everyone stands and observes silence for a quarter of an hour to show respect!"

As the last item of the festival, Chen Sheng did not prepare an overly complicated ceremony, but ended with the simplest silence.During this long period of silence, the sacred tree also gradually shed its leaves. These leaves fell like raindrops, leaving only the sound of pattering between the sky and the earth.

These leaves will be used as raw materials for hunter life cards. Once lost, it will cost tens of thousands of beli to replace them.

As a quarter of an hour passed, the sacred tree ceremony could be concluded.

"The ceremony is over! This Sacred Tree Festival is over, please leave in an orderly manner."

When the Sacred Tree Festival ended, Beamon was the first to leave the venue, followed by other hunters.

Everyone left without feeling satisfied, talking about the festival as they walked.

Some people are amazed by the resurrection ceremony, some are eager for the power of devil fruits, and some want to know the secrets of the sacred tree up close.However, these were all rejected by Chen Sheng. The ancient tree is his biggest cover at present and no one can reveal it.

Luo and the others also had their own tasks to be busy with. In the end, only Morgans was left waiting for Chen Sheng. Even though the newspaper had not been published yet, he had already seen the excitement!

As soon as he saw Chen Sheng, Morgans immediately praised and said: "I swear this is the most magical festival I have ever seen. President Chen, you are really a person who can bring miracles!"

Chen Sheng is also very enthusiastic. It is up to him to spread the performance he carefully prepared to the world, so he is naturally very concerned about it.

"That's natural. I promised that the Hunter Guild's news will never disappoint you. How about that? I'm right!"

"Of course, of course. Not only am I not disappointed, I can't control my excitement now. I can't wait to go back and write this news right away!"

"Then it all depends on Mr. President!"

"Yes, it's just news about this sacred tree. Would you mind sharing some information, President Chen?"

"Of course, there is no reason for me to refuse if the president asks me to do so. I am ready for all these, but some secrets are really not suitable to be disclosed. I hope Mr. President can understand!"

"No problem, I understand. Then I won't waste any time. See you later!"

Seeing the shadow of Morgans leaving in a hurry, Chen Sheng knew that this time the newspaper would be contracted by the Hunters Guild again!
