Chapter 696: Ant Demon Helps
It cannot be said that Chen Xiao is suspicious. It is completely normal for the great elder to be on guard against him like that.
However, the timing for the Great Elder to let people take action was too subtle. At best, he came to help Chen Xiao when he was in the most danger; at worst, he came to help when Chen Xiao was at his worst. In this case, the Great Elder has the conditions to take action against Chen Xiao and seize the heart of the spiritual beast.
"You want to help me? I'm afraid you don't have any purpose?" Chen Xiao's tone was very bad.
The great elder showed an awkward smile and said: "Chen Xiao, actually you don't have to worry. I really want to help you this time, and I won't do anything detrimental to you. But, if I help you, I I want you to do something for me."
"Oh? Tell me." The great elder's words made Chen Xiao a little more interested. If the explanation given by the Great Elder is reasonable, Chen Xiao doesn't mind trusting him again for the time being.
"Actually, it's not a difficult task. After I help you, can you help me treat the Ant Queen with the heart of the spiritual beast?" The elder said his request. This request made Chen Xiao raise his eyebrows.
"Cure the queen ant? What, you want me to cure the queen ant, and then let the queen deal with me, right?" Chen Xiao immediately said a possibility.
But the great elder quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, absolutely not! In fact, the reason why I want the heart of the spiritual beast is to help the ant queen recover as soon as possible. As the queen of our ant demon clan, she That’s absolutely number one in our hearts.”
"However, after the sandman incident, the queen ant was injured and has been in a coma until now. No one can tell how long it will take for her to wake up. Maybe she will wait until I die of old age. On that day, I can’t say for sure whether the ant queen will wake up, but it will be different if he has the heart of a spiritual beast.”
The Great Elder paused for a moment and continued: "As a sacred object of our demon clan, the Heart of the Spiritual Beast itself has a healing effect. With its help, the queen ant's injuries will definitely be restored."
At this point, the Great Elder's expression became a little embarrassed again, "Actually, the reason why I want to control you is because of your strength. After the weapon spirit is re-sealed, the Holy Land will inevitably reappear, and it will definitely cause trouble. There are many demon clans coming. I don’t know how strong the demon clan is outside, but the strength of our ant demon clan is really not strong now. So, if I get the heart of the spiritual beast, I want to take it. If you want to use it to treat the Ant Queen, you still need to have enough strength to guard the heart of the spirit beast. Otherwise, once others know that the heart of the spirit beast is in the hands of the ant demon clan, it will undoubtedly be a threat to the ant demon clan. What a disaster.”
After listening to what the great elder said, Chen Xiao finally cleared up the whole matter.
The great elder Qingqing has so many plans to cure the ant queen. Of course, this is just what it sounds like on the surface. Whether it is really the case, only he knows.
But the great elder had made the matter so clear. After Chen Xiao thought about it for a while, he determined that he could trust the great elder again for the time being.
However, Chen Xiao actually has no other good choice now except accepting the help of the great elder. As long as he agrees, even if the Great Elder wants to do something to him, it won't be now. And if he refuses, the great elder will be angry, and the great elder may take action against him and snatch away the heart of the spiritual beast.
In fact, Chen Xiao was overthinking this point. The Great Elder really needs the Heart of the Spiritual Beast, but now he understands clearly that the Heart of the Spiritual Beast is a bomb that can explode at any time, and it is quite powerful! It's completely okay to take it over and use it for a while; but if you take it as your own, if nothing else, the Demon King and Crazy Tiger alone are not existences that the Ant Demon Clan can resist.
The current ant demon clan is not the ant demon clan of the past...
Under the arrangement of the Great Elder, Chen Xiao returned to the Ant Demon Village. As soon as I came back, I saw Zita rushing up first. The young man saw that Chen Xiao looked unhappy and quickly asked if he was injured, showing great concern.
In response, Chen Xiao smiled, feeling warm in his heart.
"Zheta, let's take Chen Xiao to rest first. Then try not to disturb him for the next two days and let him have a good rest, you know?" Back in the village, the great elder was the kind and wise elder again, and the appearance outside Completely different.
"Understood." Zheta nodded heavily, immediately supported Chen Xiao and headed back to his residence. Chen Xiao had no choice but to accept this. After all, his current condition is indeed not that good.
…
Seeing Chen Xiao and Xieta disappear, the great elder's expression immediately became solemn. On the way back, he kept thinking about a question: Was he right or wrong to rescue Chen Xiao?
However, he has not given a clear answer to this question until now...
While Chen Xiao returned to the Ant Demon Village, the Demon King and Kuang Hu led their men in the yellow sand maze, frantically searching for Chen Xiao. A saint-level person escaped from the hands of two god-level people. If this was reported, it would make people laugh out loud. Especially for Kuang Hu, he had never experienced a mission failure within the Destruction Sect. If those three guys knew that they couldn't even reach the Saint level, they would definitely laugh at them!
As a result, Kuang Hu's hatred for Chen Xiao rose sharply, and he even thought about taking Chen Xiao back in the state of a corpse, rather than taking him back dead...
However, no matter what Kuang Hu thought, after they turned over the entire yellow sand maze, they did not find any trace of Chen Xiao. Not to mention Chen Xiao, they did not even see a single ant demon who rescued Chen Xiao.
"Demon King, it was the ant demon who rescued that kid, right? The ant demon should also be a member of your demon clan, right?" In an irritable mood, Kuang Hu complained to the Demon King.
This made the Demon King's expression a little ugly. It is true that the ant demon is a member of the demon clan, but since he came as the Demon King, the ant demon clan has never come into contact with him. Moreover, even if he is the Demon King, it does not mean that he controls the entire demon clan. What other demon clans want to do is completely their business, and even if he is the Demon King, he will not try his best to interfere.
There is another point that the Demon King is extremely unhappy about: this is the land of the demon clan, my Demon King's territory. You came to destroy the sect whenever you wanted, without even telling me, the Demon King. Aren't you showing too much disrespect to me, the Demon King?
