Lin Yi put down the dagger in his hand. Although the problem of Saint Zaga was thorny, Lin Yi knew that it was not impossible to solve it by himself.

Even if conventional means did not work, he could always find a way out by taking the extreme method of amputation and rebirth.

But just now Su Xiao sent Lin Yi a message, saying that he had found information about the "bud of ash", which seemed to be related to the ancestor, and asked Lin Yi to help pay attention to it.

As soon as he read the message, Lin Yi sent Su Xiao a photo.

In the picture, Saint Zaga was lying weakly on the hospital bed, his face was pale, and the pipelines of various monitoring instruments were crisscrossed beside him.

Su Xiao was still thinking about how to sneak into the ancestor, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to move faster and had already talked to the leader of the ancestor.

"Just come over, leave the rest to me." Lin Yi quickly edited the message, clicked send, and sent it to Su Xiao.

After sending the message, he turned his head to look at Saint Zaga, raised his chin slightly, and signaled the other party to sit up first.

Saint Zaga's eyes flashed with doubt, not understanding what Lin Yi was up to, but he still sat up slowly as he was told.

"The erosion in your body is more serious than I expected." Lin Yi paused and continued, "I don't have a ready-made method to deal with it at the moment, but don't worry, I know an expert who is very good at dealing with this kind of erosion problem. I have just notified him to come over, and when he arrives, he will definitely be able to solve your problem."

Lin Yi casually inserted the dagger into the stone table beside him and found a chair to sit down.

"My body... Is the problem really very serious?" Saint Zaga's voice was a little hoarse, revealing an unconcealable worry.

He is the last heir of the ancestor's lineage. In such a large family, he is the only living life left to support it.

As the inheritor, he is not only responsible for his own life and death, but also for the continuation of the entire ancestral family.

If his life were to end because of this physical problem, the ancestral family that has lasted for thousands of years would come to an end in his generation.

Saint Zaga values ​​the honor and disgrace of his family more than anything else. Just looking at the underground palaces around, you can get a glimpse of his character.

Under the erosion of time, these palaces are still well preserved, and every brick and tile reveals the glory of the past, which shows that he cherishes the glory of the family in the past and will never allow the family's inheritance to be interrupted in his hands.

"It's very serious. It's no exaggeration to say that it's a miracle that you haven't died yet."

"Normally, if you dared to merge the power of the vines so roughly, you should have been assimilated by the vines long ago. In the process of eroding your body, it seemed to subconsciously restrain its own power, which prevented you from becoming a vegetable. If it were someone else, and encountered the same situation, I'm afraid they would have lost consciousness by now and been completely devoured."

Lin Yi's words were not nonsense. Just when he was examining Saint Zaga, he noticed a key detail. The soul vines consciously avoided those vital parts in Saint Zaga's body.

It was for this reason that Saint Zaga was lucky enough to escape and did not become an assimilated person who was eroded.

"Really?" Saint Zaga raised his hand, and several soul vines appeared near Saint Zaga and rubbed Saint Zaga's arm.

"I'm sorry, I still violated the decision of the clan after all." Saint Zaga's tone became lower and lower, full of self-blame and guilt.

At this time, the soul vine seemed to feel Saint Zaga's mood, raised its tentacles and touched Saint Zaga's forehead, looking like an elder comforting a younger generation.

After comforting Saint Zaga, the soul vine came to Lin Yi and hooked its tentacles, signaling Lin Yi to follow it.

Lin Yi glanced at Saint Zaga and saw that the other party was still immersed in his own world, so he followed the soul vine and walked towards the depths of the ancestor's territory.

Along the way, millions of assimilated people were wandering around.

No wonder Hei Ze has always avoided the ancestor and dared not provoke him easily. Even though Saint Zaga is the only one left in the ancestor's lineage, the "troops" he has in his hands should not be underestimated. These assimilated people alone are enough to form a terrifying deterrent.

These assimilated people were also members of the Saint Zaga family. In the past, they also had vivid faces and their own lives.

Those assimilated ones were awakened from the grave under the influence of the ash sprouts.

The ash sprouts are actually the ashes transformed from the over-matured soul fruit. If the soul vine is regarded as the starting point of everything, then the "soul fruit" and "ash sprouts" are just like the two poles in the life process, symbolizing life and death respectively.

The soul fruit is full of vitality and can awaken new abilities after eating, which represents life. The ash sprouts are over-mature, that is, they have reached the level of death, but they are not "death".

The ash sprouts represent "death". Even Saint Zaga dare not touch it casually unless he wants to become a zombie.

The ash sprouts can create zombies and control them. The value of the ash sprouts is even higher than that of the soul fruit in some aspects.

Most of the combat power of the current ancestors is the zombies in front of them. It is not easy to obtain the ash sprouts.

The central area, the soul altar.

A large number of soul vines spread out from the altar. Among them, Lin Yi noticed that there seemed to be several fruits in them. One of them was particularly eye-catching, with a faint glow on the skin, and it seemed to be about to mature.

After Lin Yi arrived at the soul altar, the soul vine controlled the tentacles and gently moved a stone slab on the altar. The stone slab rubbed against the ground, making a low sound.

Going down the stairs, Lin Yi noticed that the walls on both sides were covered with murals about the past of the ancestor.

It described in detail the situation when the ancestor established the Redeemer Highlands. When this area was just established, the ancestor, as the founder, was undoubtedly the number one figure in this area and controlled the absolute right to speak.

Unfortunately, as time went by, the number of newborns in the ancestor's family became fewer and fewer, and the descendants seemed to have encountered a silent curse, and the number of descendants declined sharply.

In this way, the ancestor's sphere of influence inevitably continued to shrink, and the glory of the past gradually dimmed.

The area where the Asaka organization was located, which Lin Yi had visited before, was once the place where the members of the ancestor lived and lived.

But as time passed, there was only a decaying ruin left there, deserted, and the control of the surrounding area was also taken over by Hei Ze.

"I can feel the breath on you, you are the Abyss Doctor."

Entering the basement, a tentacle stretched out from the root of the soul vine, and then wrote this sentence in the Void Common Language on the soil in front of Lin Yi.

"Are you still alive?"

"No, I'm dead." The tentacle paused for a moment before slowly moving again, "Now I can only have consciousness for a short time. Thanks to your help to Saint Zaga today, otherwise, the last descendant of the ancestor would have been murdered by that guy."

After writing this paragraph, the sense of weakness of consciousness on the soul vine became more and more obvious, and it took several minutes to write these few words.

"Trick? Now Saint Zaga is the only one left among the original ancestors, who else can trick him?" From the scene of his meeting with Saint Zaga, Saint Zaga is obviously a very vigilant person.

The fact that he can survive under the heavy siege of Kurosawa and Asaka's organization is enough to prove that Saint Zaga is not an ordinary person, but has real skills.

"Saint Zaga is a child who is excellent in all aspects, but it's a pity that he is too easy to trust his own people."

"Not long ago, a strange guy appeared among the assimilated people and deceived Saint Zaga. The traitor coaxed Saint Zaga to devour part of the energy of the soul vine. We noticed something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but the guy didn't know what tricks he used, and forced us all into a sleeping state, and we were completely unable to stop it."

After the vines explained all this, Lin Yi suddenly realized why Saint Zaga would use such reckless means to improve his own strength.

It was obvious that Saint Zaga had fallen into a trap set by others. No wonder his body was tormented and ended up in such a miserable state.

"Sorry, my strength... seems to be reaching its limit." The soul vine controlled the tentacles and scratched the ground with difficulty, and the handwriting became more and more messy. "Saint Zaga is in your hands. As a reward, there is a preserved soul fruit hidden in my roots. I hope you can help Saint Zaga break free from the shackles of the ancestor."

After writing the last word, the trembling tentacle could no longer support it. With a "click", it fell to the ground powerlessly and there was no movement.

After writing this sentence tremblingly, the tentacle fell to the ground.

At the same time, Saint Zaga, who was in the palace, felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a pair of invisible hands were holding his heart tightly. It was a deep and confused heartache, as if an extremely important elder in his life suddenly passed away, and the empty sadness instantly overwhelmed him.

This made Saint Zaga a little confused. Now he was the only one left in the ancestral lineage, so why did he have such a strange feeling for no reason?

Lin Yi followed the guidance of the soul vine and quickly came to its root. He gently grasped it and held a fruit steadily in his hand.

“Alas, I hate owing favors to others.” Lin Yi looked at the soul vines that were completely motionless in front of him, sighed softly, and couldn’t help but overturn all the plans he had made in his heart.

Not long ago, Lin Yi planned to secretly give some medicine to Saint Zaga, the unlucky boy.

As long as he fell into a coma in the next few days, he could save a lot of trouble.

But who would have thought that Saint Zaga’s ancestors would be so generous and give him soul fruits as a reward.

Now, how could Lin Yi have the face to plot against Saint Zaga and put him on the road to death?

As for the soul fruit, Lin Yi did not eat it here for the time being. The experience of awakening his talent before was still fresh in Lin Yi’s memory. Lin Yi did not want to awaken his talent in such an unfamiliar environment.

After leaving the altar, Lin Yi noticed that the glimmer of light on the soul vine had become much weaker. It could be seen that the communication with Lin Yi just now had consumed a lot of the soul vine's power.

On the other side, Su Xiao also rushed to the ancestor's territory wearing a mask.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance, several assimilated people gathered around them. Su Xiao reached out and took out the tokens prepared in advance to prove his identity.

After Sheng Zhajia received the notification, he ordered the soul vines to go and pick him up, and slowly led Su Xiao into the underground palace complex.

Lin Yi also returned to the palace from the altar at this time, preparing to meet Su Xiao.

"Coming."

"Um."

Lin Yi responded, walked to Su Xiao's side in a few steps, and nodded slightly.

Then, he turned his eyes and looked at Sheng Zhajia not far away. Without going around in circles, he directly asked the question: "Sheng Zhajia."

"What's wrong?"

"Did an assimilate tell you about your swallowing of soul vines?"

"?! Who said that!"

After Sheng Zhajia heard Lin Yi's words, the Tianling Cap almost flew up. Sheng Zhajia had never revealed such a secret thing.

"You were cheated." Lin Yi looked at Sheng Zhajia's dumbfounded look and shook his head helplessly, knowing in his heart that this unlucky boy was just as his ancestors said, he was sold and he happily helped count the money.

"Lied? Impossible!" Sheng Zhajia immediately retorted without even thinking, his voice rising unconsciously, "That's my great-great-great-grandfather, connected by blood. How could he lie to me?"

In Shengzhajia's opinion, his ancestors were absolutely trustworthy, and the blood and family ties were there. He had never thought about being plotted by his relatives.

"Are you sure? I just met your ancestor with my own eyes. He asked me to take good care of you and gave me this as a reward." After saying that, Lin Yi reached into his backpack and took out the soul fruit. .

When Sheng Zhajia saw the soul fruit, he was completely confused.

Isn’t the soul fruit not yet mature? Where did the soul fruit in Lin Yi's hand come from?

"Don't look, it was secretly left by your ancestors." Lin Yi explained, then he flipped his wrist and put the soul fruit into his space backpack.

Su Xiao on the side also noticed the properties of the soul fruit, and Su Xiao's interest was immediately aroused.

No wonder both the Feather Clan and the Demon Clan are eager for soul fruits. It turns out that this thing is closely related to the awakening talent.

Now many things that were puzzling before can be explained at once.

"But."

Sheng Zhajia opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat. He felt as if a ball of paste had been stirred into his head at this moment, and it was extremely confusing.

But the facts were in front of him. Lin Yi's tone was calm and determined, not like he was lying, and the soul fruit that appeared out of thin air was solid evidence.

Even if Sheng Zhajia was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that what Lin Yi said was most likely true, but the truth was so cruel that he didn't know how to digest it for a while.

"What happened?"

Su Xiao still didn't know what happened here, so Lin Yiyan briefly and comprehensively informed Su Xiao of the previous events.

After listening, Su Xiao picked up the dagger and walked to Sheng Zhajia.

"I'm sorry."

After picking up the dagger, Su Xiao made a wound on Sheng Zhajia's arm, and then began to observe the vines inside.

After more than ten seconds, Lidya Su had already made up his mind.

"Well, the person who encouraged you to do this must have bad intentions. If these vines hadn't happened to avoid your vital points, I'm afraid you would have been reduced to a walking zombie by now." Su Xiao put down the dagger. Next, he came to the same conclusion as Lin Yi.

"But...but" Sheng Zhajia murmured, full of resistance.

That person had almost watched him grow up, and Sheng Zhajia could not imagine that the other person would deliberately harm him in this way.

"How are you sure he is your ancestor?" Su Xiao asked.

"He said it himself. Moreover, he can answer fluently and without any mistakes regarding some secret past events involving my family."

Sheng Zhajia's face looked a little ugly. Everything that happened today was like a bombshell.

Sheng Zhajia, who had just finished a fierce fight with the demons, was already seriously injured. Now he suffered a series of mental shocks. He only felt that his chest was feeling tight, and there was a fishy sweetness in his throat. Blood spurted out "wow".

"Whether it's true or not, won't it be clear when we meet one time?" Su Xiao gently snapped her fingers.

The next second, Bubu Wang's clear and somewhat naive cry sounded in the ears of several people very suddenly.

Sheng Zhajia's nerves were already tense. When he suddenly heard the sudden barking of a dog, he was instantly startled and rolled down from the operating table. His body instinctively put on a defensive posture, and his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

When he saw the Bubu Wang next to Su Xiao, Sheng Zhajia realized that an Erha had appeared there at some point.

"As long as it's there, I believe the other party won't be able to find it."

Su Xiao touched Bu Bu Wang's dog head, and Sheng Zhajia nodded. Bu Bu Wang's concealment methods were indeed superb. If Bu Bu Wang hadn't made a sound, he would never have been able to find Bu Bu Wang's traces.

A few minutes later, Bubuwang put on his earphones and headed towards the residence of the assimilated person under the command of Saint Zhajia.

In less than ten minutes, Bubu Wang sneaked into a palace quietly.

The moment he stepped into the palace, he skillfully turned on the extremely hidden camera above his head. In the blink of an eye, the real-time scene in the palace was simultaneously displayed on the tablet in Su Xiao's hand.

"Move quickly!" On the tablet screen, an assimilationist was shouting at a group of living corpses.

The expressions of the living corpses were stiff and dull, their hands mechanically holding all kinds of delicacies, and they knelt neatly in front of this living corpse.

Look under the living corpse, there are several naked living corpses with graceful figures, stacked on top of each other, forming a weird "chair" for him to sit on, which looks absurd and extravagant. scene.

Obviously, this arrogant and domineering living corpse is the so-called great-great-great-grandfather mentioned by Saint Zhajia.

"Hmph...it took hundreds of years for me to finally get the chance." Perkin Kane sat on the seat made of living corpses, with sinister eyes, "You bastards, if it weren't for you, I would Why did we end up in this situation!"

He grinned and let out an unpleasant dry laugh, "However, your descendants are so stupid that they actually believe everything I say."

The assimilated person in front of him has no blood relationship with Saint Zaka at all. On the contrary, he is the archenemy's sworn enemy, named Perkin Kane. He was once notorious in the void and was a super thief with many tricks.

Back then, he heard that there was a soul fruit in the ancestor's place, and he became greedy and prepared to steal the fruit.

Little did we know that the ancestors of Saint Zhajia were not vegetarians. After a fierce battle, Perkin Kane was assimilated into this assimilated person who was neither human nor ghost.

Fortunately, this guy majored in soul-based abilities. Even if his body suffered such changes, he could still barely retain a part of his self-awareness.

After hundreds of years of lurking, Emperor Tian paid off. Perkin Kane found an excellent opportunity and successfully stole the Ash Bud from the heavily guarded secret vault.

The reason why this theft went so smoothly is not complicated.

For a long time, people in the ancestor lineage have firmly believed that anyone who is assimilated into this weird appearance will definitely lose their self-awareness and become a walking zombie who only knows how to act on instinct. They never expected that there are still people in the group of assimilated people. There are exceptions like Perkin Kane who retain their sober self.

Since Perkin Kane obtained the Ash Bud, he had enough power to resist the control of the Soul Vine. Although it was only a very short gap, it was enough for him to plan some new conspiracies.

In the following hundreds of years, Perkin Kane was not idle for a moment, thinking about how to weaken the power of the ancestor step by step.

He resorted to all possible means, including leaking information and secretly poisoning.

Under the years of assassination, the number of members of the ancestor lineage has become less and less, and now, only Sheng Zhajia is left alone.

The reason why Perkin Kane still kept Saint Zaga's life was because Perkin Kane still needed Saint Zaga to cultivate the soul vines.

For him, the soul vines are not only the shackles that trap him, but they are also the key to breaking free.

If he wants to completely get rid of the clutches of the soul vine, he must eat the intact soul fruit. Only by using the soul fruit to repair his own soul that is riddled with holes, can Perkin Kane truly regain his freedom and escape from this ghost place. .

"Hmph." Perkinken snorted coldly in his nose, with a smug and sinister smile on his face.

"That boy Saint Zhajia probably never imagined until his death that I was the one who revealed all the information about the Demon Clan and the Feather Clan." He shook his head, his eyes full of contempt, "But this stupid boy can't jump. It’s only a few days, I’ll have to go down there in a while and keep company with you old immortals.”

Perhaps because he had been trapped in this dark place for too long, and could not find an outlet for his resentment and calculations, Perkin Kane started chattering to himself in front of a group of unconscious living corpses, closing the chat box as soon as he opened it. No, he kept revealing his dark past and vicious plans.

And all of this was transmitted intact to the tablet in Su Xiao's hand through the camera by BooBoo Wang, who was crouching in front of Perkin Kane.

Sheng Zhajia's face became extremely ugly at this moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently uncontrollably.

He couldn't believe that the "elder" he respected the most was actually the culprit who pushed the family into the abyss.

After knowing this cruel fact, Sheng Zhajia felt a tightness in his chest, his legs weakened, and he fell straight to the ground. (End of chapter)
