Su Yue was so shocked that he could hardly express it; it felt like a magical reality had come to life.
He had never revealed his name, yet the demonic tree before him unexpectedly recognized him.
Could it be that they're trying to trick me? But then I thought, it seems that the thousand-year-old demon tree, Xiaohuai, has no reason to fabricate such a lie.
Seeing that Su Yue remained silent, Xiao Huai became smug: "No doubt about it, I have lived here for thousands of years and know everything about Tianma Village!"
He continued, "More than a hundred years ago, Xingcheng fell, and the vast Su family, along with the entire Tianma Village, was almost completely slaughtered under the cruel ravages of the Sakura Kingdom. Their bones were buried at my feet."
"Only your ancestral branch, who fought bravely on the front lines, survived. However, when they returned in triumph, they found their homeland in ruins, and everything had changed!"
Xiao Huai calmly recounted the story he knew, but he keenly sensed that Su Yue beside him was emanating an intense killing intent, surging like a storm.
Especially when he mentioned the phrases "Japanese people" and "slaughtered to death".
Su Yue's killing intent reached its peak, as if it wanted to devour everything around it.
This murderous intent made Xiao Huai feel a sense of fear and unease.
So he quickly took flight and landed steadily on Lucy's shoulder.
As a descendant of the Su family, Su Yue had never heard these stories from his elders.
This made him even more curious about what secrets were hidden in the "Secret of the Basement" mission he had been given.
One person, one corpse, and one tree stood silently, heading straight towards the mission location.
Those familiar feelings were like a time reversal, taking him back to his carefree childhood filled with laughter.
Led by Xiao Huai, Su Yue passed through a corner of the courtyard and arrived at the abandoned well that had been left for many years.
Following the map's directions, he slowly descended into the well and eventually arrived at the basement marked on the map.
What unfolds before him is a secret base forgotten for a hundred years, seemingly waiting for Su Yue's arrival to unveil long-sealed secrets.
[Ding! You have successfully completed the exploration mission: The Secret of the Basement. Rewards: 1000 Gold, 1000 Reputation, 5000 Experience, 1 Legendary Treasure Chest.]
[Ding! Level increased to 18, gained 10 free attribute points.]
[Ding! Zongbu God class, increases Strength by 5 points and Agility by 5 points.]
[Ding! Max level Agility talent, increased by 5 points.]
[Ding! Maxed-out Constitution talent, increased Constitution by 5 points.]
[Ding! Talent Plundering Hand, remaining uses: 3.]
After completing the task, Su Yue's level increased, but he was not in a hurry to check the rewards he received.
At that moment, his gaze was completely captivated by everything before him.
On the table were several thick Su family genealogies, arranged neatly and orderly.
These family genealogies clearly show the prosperity of the Su family a hundred years ago, with many family members and a flourishing lineage.
Then, Su Yue pulled out a yellowed diary from an old-fashioned wooden box.
Judging from the name on the cover, this is likely an artifact left by one of his ancestors.
The diary details the heinous crimes committed by Dr. Ishii and Colonel Shiraishi after their arrival in Star City.
At the same time, these diaries also faithfully record the various struggles and sacrifices made by the Su family in defending their homeland and resisting the invasion of the Sakura people.
Unfortunately, these efforts were ultimately thwarted by the betrayal of traitors.
As Su Yue turned to the last page, his gaze lingered on the worry written by his ancestor: Ishii and Shiraishi planned to hold a brutal killing contest in Tianma Village in the near future.
It turns out that Dr. Ishii had been in cahoots with the Shiraishi family all along!
Following the instructions in the diary, Su Yue then pulled out several booklets from the nearby bookshelf.
Shockingly, these booklets contained detailed evidence of past crimes committed by the Sakura Kingdom.
The information is detailed and solid, enough to put Baishijia in the spotlight.
If this evidence were exposed during peacetime, its contents would undoubtedly provoke strong resentment among the Chinese people.
This caused the Bai Shi family's meticulous planning in China over the years to vanish in an instant.
Therefore, the reason why Bai Shihao coveted this piece of land, and even the entire Tianma Village, back then was...
The purpose was to bury this history deep in the dust, so that it would never be known to the world again.
It's the Shiraishi family again!
He thought that Shiraishi Hiroshi's death would bring a temporary end to his path of revenge.
But when Xiao Huai's news was confirmed, Su Yue's anger was reignited and he could not suppress it.
The blood debt of genocide must be repaid in blood! Anyone who offends China, no matter how far away, will be punished!
In that cramped basement, a chilling atmosphere coalesced into a powerful force, seemingly shaking even the heavens and earth.
Su Yue slowly sat down in the chair, feeling exhausted.
A century ago, the ancestors of the Su family also sat in this chair, thoughtfully planning the future of the family.
Now, Su Yue's thoughts have transcended time and space, and he is considering a feasible plan to invade Japan.
After the first martial arts tournament concludes, the teleportation channels between cities will be opened.
The gates to the borders will not open until the second season of the apocalypse, a year later.
Su Yue decided to first eliminate the remaining forces of the Bai Shi family within China before marching on the Cherry Blossom Capital!
Su Yue's gaze inadvertently fell on Xiao Huai.
Isn't the appearance of this "guardian spirit" something that will only be unlocked in the second season of the apocalypse?
Did my rebirth really accelerate the process of the apocalypse?
If his speculation is correct, as long as a contract is reached with "Little Locust", the "Spirit Pet" system can be activated ahead of schedule.
Does this also mean that the second season of the apocalypse will arrive earlier than expected?
At this moment, the original idea of ​​blackmailing "Xiao Huai" had become insignificant in the face of the urgency of revenge.
[Ding! Important Reminder: The "King of Wood" is the exclusive "Guardian Spirit" of "Zongfu God." Once a contract is signed, it cannot be changed for life. Please consider carefully before confirming the signing.]
Su Yue answered without hesitation: "Confirmed!"
Now that he had made his choice, the powerful alien beasts he had previously envisioned in his notebook no longer mattered.
Since it can be called the guardian spirit exclusive to "Zongbu God", it will surely grow into an emperor-level powerhouse in the future.
[Ding! Congratulations "Lone Wolf"! You have successfully formed a contract with the "King of Wood"! He has become your exclusive guardian spirit!]
[Congratulations to survivor "Lone Wolf" for becoming the first survivor in the apocalypse to obtain a Guardian Spirit and achieving the unique achievement: Heart of Loyalty!]
[A global announcement is coming soon!]
