Chapter 946: The Last Terran, Massive Star Core (2-in-1, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Zhang Fan, Xinglan Fairy, Ah Feng, the eyes of the three of them were all fixed on the old man who had just walked out of the valley.
It's not that there is anything special about this old man himself, it's just a shriveled old man, with gray hair, a straight goatee, and a trembling when he walks, and it can be seen that he wants to pretend to be a fairy wind bone, but in the eyes of everyone, it is obviously very funny.
What surprised Ah Feng to patrol back and forth between Zhang Fan and this shriveled old man was because of his clothes.
The costume of the elder in the valley is a gorgeous mopping robe, full of mysterious and gorgeous ornaments, if it is a gift to the heaven and earth, it naturally has a solemn taste, but as now, with it mopping the floor, dragging dust, it is extraordinarily embarrassed.
Unlike Ah Feng and the others, who are all dressed in animal skins, this shriveled old man's outfit is clearly similar to the outfits on Zhang Fan and Xinglan Fairy in terms of materials and other aspects.
Ah Feng saw Zhang Fan and the two of them dressed up earlier, and felt familiar, and the root was in this gorgeous costume.
It was the only dress that had been handed down from their tribe, and she hadn't even seen the elders wear it, but she had only seen it in some frescoes and other places, and because of that, she couldn't recognize it at first sight.
Zhang Fan's surprise was naturally different from her, as soon as he saw it, he knew that this was a powerful robe, and it was worn by Yuanying Zhenren.
Such a powerful robe is worn on this ordinary old man, which is extremely eye-catching.
"The two distinguished guests came from afar, and the little old man came one step too late, and he didn't greet him, which was rude, rude, and rude. ”
When he came closer, the shriveled old man bowed and glanced at Ah Feng and the others.
"One step too late?"
Zhang Fan felt a sigh in his heart, if he really believed him, he would be in vain in his life for two hundred years.
I also know that this old man must have wanted to rely on that trick earlier, give a dismount or something, but he never thought that Zhang Fan waved his hand to break the formation, so he was condescending and immediately greeted him.
But these are common sense, and there is nothing to delve into, he just waved his hand, and it is in the past.
This old man didn't have anything in Zhang Fan's eyes, but in the eyes of Ah Feng and the others, it was like heaven, and they could only see them bowing in unison and saying, "I've seen the elders~"
Whether it is the expression or tone, the kind of awe and reverence from the bottom of the heart, everyone is the same, even Ah Feng is no exception.
Immediately, a group of mermaids rushed into the valley.
Zhang Fan turned a blind eye to their movements, and just looked at the elder with interest.
Needless to say, he himself is the leader of this group of Xingzhou natives.
"Distinguished guest, is there anything wrong with the little old man's dress?"
The elder was uncomfortable when Zhang Fan saw it, and his heart was furious for a while, and he asked in fear.
Looking at his eyes, it seemed as if he was really asking for advice, obviously not very confident in his way of dressing.
This appearance is the same as the psychology of a remote person who accidentally sees a three-legged bench when he enters the city for the first time, and since then he has no different psychology of how he looks at the four-legged one at home.
"Where, I'm bothering the elders. ”
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal, this shriveled old man can lead the way first.
Now he was more and more interested in this valley, this group of natives.
With this robe alone, you can know that these people must have something to do with the galaxy in the past.
"Yes, yes, please. ”
The elder squeezed out a smile, led the way first, and while walking, he was depressed in his heart, and after receiving Ah Feng's news, he flipped through the etiquette of the classics and made up for evil, why didn't he use it at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little flattering to the blind in his heart.
After a while, walking slowly to the mouth of the valley, Zhang Fan suddenly stopped, pointed in all directions, and said, "Dare to ask the elder, who laid out this formation?"
The previous formation, of course, had ingenuity, but it was flashy and unrealistic, and it was broken by him with one blow, but in any case, it should not be what these mortals could arrange.
Hearing him ask about this formation, the elder immediately perked up and said proudly, "This is the last immortal master of my clan, who arranged it a thousand years ago. ”
When the word "immortal master" was spoken, Xiao Lao'er also glanced at Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan with a cunning gaze, as if to say: I know, you are also immortal masters.
Zhang Fan nodded when he heard this, didn't say anything more, and stepped into the valley.
As soon as I entered, there was a "boom", and a rolling heat wave came to my face.
Along with these heat waves, there is also the sound of "ding ding dong" beating, following the reputation, but I saw dozens of big men, gathered in a circle, sweating like rain, dancing hammers, beating the purple and gold metal on their hands, some are still embryos, and some already have spear shapes.
Seeing this scene, not only Zhang Fan, but also with the Xinglan Fairy, there was a bright light in his eyes.
Spirit of the Stars!
In the hands of those blacksmiths, from hammers to embryos, they are all made of the essence of the stars, and they are simply extravagant to the point of no return.
After a cursory glance, Zhang Fan also knew why these blacksmiths were working together so crowded, and why they placed the place where the iron was struck at the mouth of the valley.
At the same time, a question that had been lingering in my mind for a while was also answered.
It is not surprising that a spear made from the essence of the stars, even if it has not been refined by any immortal cultivation means, is enough to penetrate the flesh of a fourth-order demon beast.
What surprised him was how those blacksmiths who knew at the level of village husbands at a glance at their craftsmanship had made the essence of the stars, a strange treasure that had been tempered by star power for thousands of years, into a long spear.
It stands to reason that not to mention ordinary blacksmiths, even if they are Sect Master Jiedan, if they don't have special refining methods, they can't imagine getting a piece of star essence the size of a fingernail.
The answer lies in the center surrounded by dozens of blacksmiths.
There, a well, the thickness of a human waist, was constantly spitting star-blue flames, and the blacksmiths around him were in order, from time to time, clamping the half-beaten spear embryos into the fire and burning them.
Knock it, then place it on the ground well, and then beat it again...... If it is repeated, the frequency is extremely high, but these blacksmiths cooperate very highly, one after another, as if they have been tacitly understood for many years.
"Xinglan, do you know what kind of flame is burning in the well that can restrain the spirit of the stars?"
Zhang Fan asked.
He could clearly see that after seeing this scene, especially after seeing the flames of the well, a look of surprise and trance appeared on the face of the Xinglan Fairy, and he obviously recognized its origin.
"It's a spark~"
There was still a kind of trance in the voice of the Xinglan Fairy, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
"The star power that is extremely rich to the extreme, after complex evolution and countless years of savings, will finally ignite the spark. ”
"In the heyday of Zifu Prefecture, the Xinghe Sect's spark was famous, not only for refining weapons, but also for fighting against the enemy, one of the strongest flames in heaven and earth, and as famous as Brother Zhang's Sun Golden Flame. ”
"Huh?"
After listening to Fairy Xinglan's introduction, Zhang Fan's eyes straightened.
Although he knew that this fire was extraordinary when he saw that Starfire could easily smelt the essence of the stars, he never expected that it would come from such a big source.
Now he also understood where the different colors on Fairy Xinglan's face came from.
This kind of treasure that was still cherished in the heyday of Zifu Prefecture and could only be used by the strong people of the Xinghe Sect was now used by a few villagers to strike iron.
When Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan were observing the essence of the stars and the spark, the elder stood quietly aside, his eyes flashing with a different color, but no one knew what he was thinking, in short, he was silent and did not bother.
Fortunately, Zhang Fan didn't let him wait long, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward.
Behind the sparkling well, in a large valley space, thousands of stone houses are standing, and the smoke curls up, which is quite prosperous.
The strange thing is that the population seems to be a little less, and there are not many people along the way.
"Elder, what about Ah Feng?"
Seeing this, Zhang Fan asked casually.
"They...... They have other things to do, and they will come to see your guests later. ”
The smile on the elder's face stiffened for a moment, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he retracted and led Zhang Fan and the two of them to his residence.
As the elder and leader of the clan, his stone house is naturally the tallest among the thousand stone houses, although it is nothing in Zhang Fan's eyes, it can be called spacious.
After arranging for the two of them to sit down and serving tea, the elder bowed down again and said, "Change your clothes." And he withdrew.
Zhang Fan didn't care, just tasted the unique tea here, chatting casually.
After a while, Zhang Fan saw that Fairy Xinglan's delicate brows were furrowed, his expression was still a little trance, and he sighed secretly, and said, "Xinglan, I want to know their relationship with the Xinghe Sect, just ask for it." ”
"Well, thank you Brother Zhang, Xinglan is fine. ”
Fairy Xinglan smiled reluctantly, shook her head, and said.
In this regard, Zhang Fan could only sigh.
The Xinglan Fairy came to this Xingzhou, somewhat of the meaning of finding his roots, he never thought that the huge Xingzhou crossed, but he never saw a single immortal cultivator, it was barren, and it didn't look like there were human traces.
There is only such a group of natives, but these people are still vaguely related to the Xinghe Sect.
Thinking about the Xinghe Sect, which she regarded as her ancestors, if it really fell to the point that only these people existed, it would really be a tragedy.
The two men were silent for a moment, until a soft cough came and went, and the elder went back into the house.
At this time, the gorgeous dress that looked like a monkey on his body was gone, and he was replaced by a coarse linen robe, just like an old man in the village, which looked a lot more natural.
"Youke Lao has been waiting for a long time. ”
While the guests and hosts sat down, Lao Er bowed and saluted, looking extremely apologetic.
"I don't know where the two distinguished guests came from?"
When the elder spoke, a pair of old eyes sparkled with expectation.
Zhang Fan's heart moved, and his thoughts of dealing with the past casually faded, and he smiled instead: "Ah Feng guesses that we are from outside the galaxy, what does the old man think?"
"No way!"
The elder waved his hand magnificently and said without hesitation.
"Sure enough. ”
Zhang Fan thought about it in his heart, but his mouth kept talking, and he continued: "Oh, the old man is so sure, could it be that he has gone out before?"
He just said it casually, but he didn't think that this old man could really avoid the terrifying primeval Ahuizotl and cross the galaxy, but he didn't expect to get the answer.
"yes~"
"When I was young, I went out a few times. ”
The elder said with a little nostalgia.
Not only Zhang Fan, but Fairy Xinglan also looked at this inconspicuous old man in surprise, and couldn't believe that he had this ability.
That primeval Ahuizotl, if it weren't for Zhang Fan's presence, with the Xinglan Fairy alone, would definitely not be its opponent, I am afraid that before he crossed the galaxy, he would have been buried in the belly of the ape.
"Ah Feng and these children all think that the galaxy is uncrossable, and all those who intend to try it have gone and never returned, but they don't know that when Xiao Lao'er was young, he also went back and forth a few times. ”
When it came to crossing the galaxy, the old man was a little more arrogant, as if he had returned to his youth.
"Xiao Lao'er's father, when he was young, he was also a generation of brave people in the clan, and he accidentally got an egg of a galaxy spirit turtle and left it to me."
"That spirit turtle later became Xiao Lao'er's demon beast partner, and it was average on land, but it was extremely fast in the galaxy. ”
"At that time, when I was young, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and I was curious about the outside world, so I secretly crossed the galaxy several times......"
"I ...... it several times"
Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan looked at each other, and really felt that they couldn't underestimate this old man, but they didn't expect him to have such an experience.
"On all sides of the galaxy, the little old man has taken the spirit turtle to the other side, and he has found out the details of how much he has survived. ”
Speaking of this, the elder paused before continuing: "Little Lao'er is sure that outside the galaxy, there is not even a shadow of people in most places, and as for the galaxy, we are the only one in Xingzhou, and there are no other human beings at all. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan both sank in their hearts.
When it comes to places beyond the galaxy, the Elder's words may be a bit arbitrary, but they are consistent with the results of their investigations.
That's it, the situation in Xingzhou, he is an absolute authority, he said that there is no one, then there must be no one, after all, the natives who were born and grew up in Si, how can this be mistaken.
"Xingzhou is so big, there are only a few thousand of you?"
Fairy Xinglan couldn't help but interject, and there was a bit of bitterness in her voice.
Anyone who sees the holy land in their minds, when it is almost a dead land, will not react much better than her.
"yes, it's just us. ”
"If we die, there will be no one in Xingzhou. ”
As the elder said this, his eyes flickered a little, and he looked at the two of them.
Zhang Fan didn't notice his abnormality, but he didn't pay attention to it, anyway, he had absolute strength, just waiting for him to uncover the mystery.
There was something else that piqued his interest.
"Old man, is your demon beast companion spirit turtle still around? Can you take it out and let me wait for an eye-opening. ”
When this elder mentioned the words "demon beast partner", he had a clear understanding in his heart, especially when he sensed that the power on this person's body was faintly related to Ah Feng's, and he understood the purpose of their search for demon beast eggs.
At the same time, he was also very interested in the galaxy spirit turtle that could come and go freely in the galaxy, such a demon beast is not simple, and it is not a kind word to say that it wants to open his eyes.
"It's gone, it's dead. ”
The elder sighed gloomily and said, "When I came back for the last time, the spirit turtle seemed to have noticed something in the middle of the road, and desperately rushed to send the little old man ashore, and then he was caught back into the river by a big hand, and it was gone~"
"Ancient Ahuizotl!"
As soon as he heard his description, Zhang Fan knew that the rare spirit turtle had finally encountered a tiger after going up the mountain for a long time, and had not escaped the poisonous hands of the primeval Ahuizotl.
Seeing that this old man's will was a little depressed, Zhang Fan changed the topic, no longer mentioned the matter of the spirit turtle, and said: "Then old man, where do you think we come from."
Hearing this question, the elder came to his senses, his goatee curled, and he pointed to the top with a mysterious face.
"Huh?"
Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan's expressions changed at the same time, but they didn't expect this old man to understand everything in their hearts.
"More than a month ago, the earth shook and the mountains shook, the purple light soared into the sky, the star power was disordered, and all the beasts were frightened, and then it didn't take long for you to come......"
The elder's goatee trembled, revealing his master's excitement.
"You must be outsiders from your ancestors, right?"
"Our Zifu Prefecture has floated?"
The elder was so excited that his body trembled.
"Not bad!"
Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan glanced at each other and said, "What do you have to teach the old man?"
"Don't dare to see the teaching, we are finally saved, there were hundreds of thousands of people at the most, and then there were fewer and fewer, and it reached the hands of Xiao Lao'er, there are only a few thousand people, and in a few years, maybe ...... There was no one. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fan frowned slightly, and vaguely felt that it was more than that, this little old man was not simple, and he might have other purposes.
But he's not in a hurry, and the time will come when it will be revealed.
At this time, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a woman entered the house with something like barbecue.
"Huh?"
This person is Ah Feng, but it is very different from the previous dress.
Dressed in plain linen clothes, concise and clear, there is a sense of freshness and demureness, which is very different from the earlier temperament of the wind and fire and the female general on the battlefield.
Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if she had cried once.
After she brought the meat and other food, the elder said kindly, "Ah Feng, come and sit." ”
She replied softly and sat down on her knees.
At the same time, there was a faint sound of crying outside the house, intermittently, one after another, and extraordinarily infiltrated.
The cry was in his ears, Ah Feng's eyes turned even redder, and the elder's face showed a look of pain, although it flashed, it never escaped Zhang Fan's eyes.
Needless to say, these are the weepings of the families of the victims.
Where Ah Feng and the others went before, they also had an answer.
"Ah Feng, you have to be strong, don't forget your surname is Xing!"
The elder patted Ah Feng's shoulder, as if comforting and encouraging.
"Hmm!"
Ah Feng nodded vigorously, and wiped his eyes fiercely with the back of his hand.
The elder turned around and explained to Zhang Fan: "In our clan, only those who can comprehend the power of the seed can take the star as their surname, oops~~"
Saying that, he patted his head and said apologetically: "Little Lao'er actually forgot to introduce himself, Xiao Lao'er is a famous star Pihu." ”
"Star Tiger ......"
Hearing that this shriveled little old man had such a domineering name, even Zhang Fan couldn't help but be stunned.
As for what kind of "seed power" it is, he understands it a little bit, and thinks it should be a kind of power to control spirit beasts!
Zhang Fan was thinking about it, when suddenly the divine consciousness of the Xinglan Fairy sounded in his ears:
"The power of seeds, this is actually a method of controlling spirit beasts inherited within the Xinghe Sect, and it cannot be passed on by non-core disciples, even the ancestor of Xinglan has never learned this method. ”
"How big is it?"
All kinds of thoughts flashed in Zhang Fan's mind, thinking that this group of people can reproduce so far and have never been cut off, it is indeed not for nothing, at least their ancestors are much stronger than the ancestors of Xinglan and others.
"By the way, two distinguished guests came to my Xingzhou, I don't know what to do, does the little old man have a place to serve?"
At this moment, Xing Pihu suddenly looked at him and said sincerely.
In Zhang Fan's opinion, no matter how you look at it, he seems to be eager to sell a big favor, which seems very weird.
After a deep groan, he still spread out his palms and said, "We are here for a purpose, the first is this thing, Elder Star may help?"
On the palm of his hand, a star gold, calmly sprinkled with starlight, although not dazzling, the softness contained a powerful power.
"Star core?"
Xing Pihu blinked his eyes, his face full of strange colors.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Fan asked strangely, they had hunted an unknown number of demon beasts, it was not surprising to know the existence of the star core, and the strange thing was the expression of him and the star phoenix on the side.
Xing Pihu's expression became more and more weird, and he got up and said, "Please invite your guests and the little old man to come, you will know at a glance." ”
Zhang Fan was naturally indispensable, took the Xinglan Fairy, followed closely behind Xing Pihu, walked out of the stone house, passed through most of the valley, and fell into a depression behind the valley, like a sinkhole.
At the edge of the sinkhole behind the valley, Xing Pihu stood still, looked at the sinkhole and said, "It's all ...... inside."
When he said this, he was a little afraid to look at Zhang Fan's eyes.
He didn't know where Zhang Fan had the spare energy to observe his expression at this time, and he was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.
In this sinkhole with a radius of hundreds of zhang, it is full of star cores, a star-blue color, which can directly dazzle people's eyes.
This is only the surface layer, and what about further down? The depth of this sinkhole can be imagined, if it is all covered with star cores, the number is simply incalculable.
"These things, you're useless?"
Zhang Fan's voice was a little sluggish, he was really shocked.
"I don't know which generation of ancestors started, and the star core was piled up here, and we all did it according to the ancestral teachings, as for the use......
Xing Pihu spread his hands and said, "No!"
If it weren't for the fear that Zhang Fan's face would not be able to hang up, he would have wanted to say that these are useless wastes, if it weren't for the fact that the ancestors had such a convention, I am afraid that no one would pick it up at all.
"Then I did it?"
"Open to take~"
The elder waved his hand and said with great pride.
(To be continued)
