Peerless God of War

Chapter 679: The Great Elder

"It's a small place, there's nothing there. If you don't mind, just find a place to sit." With the help of Xiao Kuita, the Great Elder sat on the bed. As for Chen Xiao, he looked around the house, but he couldn't find anything like a chair, so he could only stand.

"Hehe, sorry. We ants are not born to live on the ground, but because of the appearance of sand people, we have to live in this kind of stone house." The Great Elder seemed to think of something, and his face looked a little bad.

It is the nature of ants to live underground and build intricate nests. This also applies to the ant demons. But these ant demons in front of him live on the ground, and Chen Xiao was really surprised when he first saw them.

"Great Elder, I wonder if you have anything to say to me?" Chen Xiao said directly.

"Well... I have a lot to say to you. Haha, forget it, I'll pick up some important things to tell you first." The elder smiled, "I sensed your appearance from the beginning, because you have the heritage totem on you, and as the person in charge of the ruins guard, I have the ability to sense the heritage totem. No matter where you come from, I will sense it at the first time."

Inheritance totem?

Chen Xiao thought about it and felt that the elder was talking about the spiritual power he got from the heritage object. That is, the map in his mind.

"I'm really curious, why you, a human, have the power of the leopard tribe's heritage totem on you, it's really decomposing." The elder said again. However, Chen Xiao didn't want to answer this question, waiting for the elder to continue.

"I was originally going to ignore you. Although no one from outside has entered this ruins for a long time, the place where you appeared is really terrible. It happens to be in the area with the largest number of sand people. With the current strength of my people, rashly rescuing you is likely to usher in a huge disaster, which is not what I want to see."

"However, perhaps the Demon King really doesn't want our tribe to be trapped here, so you finally let Xiao Kuita bring you to the village." The elder showed a look of relief, "You are very powerful, and I have also seen part of the scene of fighting with the sand people. And this makes me feel that our village is finally going to be saved!"

The elder became more and more excited as he spoke, and later, the hand holding the crutches began to tremble slightly. This shows his excitement.

However, the elder said that he said a lot, but Chen Xiao didn't understand anything.

"Elder, what exactly are those sand people? Then, what exactly have you, the ant demons, experienced? You can even accept living in a stone house?" Chen Xiao asked his biggest question.

This question immediately made the elder sigh heavily: "Alas... To talk about this, the story has to start from a thousand years ago." The elder fell into memory.

"At the beginning, we were the guards of the Yellow Sand Ruins, and we dutifully guarded this place and the demon clan holy land inside. But one day, sand people suddenly appeared in the ruins. At first, their number was not large, and their strength was very weak, and they were often easily killed by us. But in fact, it was just a means to confuse us."

"When we had not paid attention to the sand people, the nightmare came without warning." The elder trembled, "That day, a large number of sand people appeared in our cave out of thin air, severely injured our queen ant, collapsed our cave, and killed a large number of our compatriots. By the time we reacted, we had already suffered heavy losses."

"If we hadn't fought back in the end and directly abandoned the cave, I'm afraid we would have been killed by the sand people."

What the elder said, Qita also said. But compared to the elder, it was not as detailed.

Chen Xiao did not speak, waiting for the elder to continue.

"After losing the cave we depended on for survival, the remaining people of us could only find another place to live. However, we still underestimated the strength of the sand people. After we left the cave, they never stopped chasing us. This caused our people to keep decreasing. Fortunately, at the last moment, we finally discovered the weakness of these sand people."

"They are attached to the yellow sand maze, and when there is no yellow sand in the surrounding environment, they cannot appear. Then, we found this place, changed our previous living habits, and lived in the stone house."

At this point, the experience of the ant demon tribe was finished. And Chen Xiao also asked another question.

"Elder, then what is the origin of these sand people, have you figured it out?"

If you figure out the origin of the sand people, you may be able to find a way to kill them.

The elder did not disappoint Chen Xiao on this question. He said, "Of course we didn't know at first. But as we had more contact with the sand people, we finally found the reason for their formation. It was also because of the yellow sand maze, or to be more precise, they are part of the yellow sand maze."

"Part of the yellow sand maze?" Chen Xiao thought of the sand people who could appear anywhere in the maze and return to the maze after being eliminated.

"The spirit of the weapon, it was the spirit of the yellow sand maze that formed those sand people. It was also because of the spirit of the weapon that we, the ant demon tribe, were driven out." The elder said the real reason.

"Spirit of the weapon?" Chen Xiao was really stunned.

The elder continued, "I only found out later that the Yellow Sand Labyrinth was not a building, but a sacred artifact."

"Sacred artifact!?" Chen Xiao's eyes widened when he heard this.

The so-called sacred artifact is a higher level existence than a divine artifact. Moreover, up to now, sacred artifacts are things that only exist in legends. Just like the Destroying Demon Dragon in Chen Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness, as a legendary beast, it actually belongs to the category of sacred beasts. If this guy hadn't stayed in his sea of ​​consciousness now, Chen Xiao himself would not be sure that there would be such a powerful existence in the world.

As for the sacred artifact, no one has seen it so far. Some people even questioned whether the sacred artifact really exists. Are those legendary sacred artifacts just legends?

Such doubts were left unresolved in the end. There was no evidence of its existence, nor was there any evidence to overturn its existence.

"Elder, you said that the Yellow Sand Labyrinth is a sacred artifact? Is this true?" Chen Xiao couldn't believe what he heard. He even thought that the elder might have misunderstood the definition of the Yellow Sand Labyrinth.

Maybe, it is just a divine weapon. It is just more powerful than ordinary divine weapons.

For example, if the Scarlet Cloud Sword also reaches the divine level, its power will be much stronger than ordinary divine weapons.
