Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 166 The Legend of the Celestial Elephant King
The group climbed north to the edge of the explosion crater, and saw that not far ahead, it was the northern wall of the ancient city that had been damaged to the point that only the root of the wall remained, and everyone couldn't help but turn around, look at the explosion crater in front of them, and was very unwilling to figure out the cause of the explosion crater, so they left.
Hongxing suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Do you think it's strange that we haven't seen particularly magnificent architectural ruins all the way over, will it be ...... This crater is right where the Celestial King's Palace is?"
"It's very likely!" Ding Lingling nodded first, "Since further north, it is the northern city wall of the ancient city, then the explosion crater should be the location of the Heavenly Elephant King's Palace! It's a pity that this explosion crater is so deep, I'm afraid it's impossible for us to find the cellar of the palace or something!"
"But why, the explosion happened right in the palace, shouldn't the palace be the safest place?" asked Hongxing again.
It's a pity that no one was able to answer her. As long as it involves this crater, it is all an unsolvable mystery.
Bai Yang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned his head and asked Chen Dalin: "How did the old man find that ancient tomb back then? Could it be that as soon as you came, you went directly around this explosion crater to find the ancient tomb?"
Before they climbed up the explosion crater, Chen Dalin had already led more than a dozen camels around the explosion crater and waited in front of them, and when he heard Bai Yang's question in front of him, Chen Dalin immediately shook his head.
"How is that possible? I remember very clearly, when we saw this crater, we were just as shocked as you were for a long time! Later, we spent most of the day trying to figure out how this crater came to be! Unfortunately, like you, we wasted our time and couldn't find out why!"
"That's a problem!" Poplar turned to the others, "I think everyone will be attracted to this crater as soon as they enter this ancient city, but when we first came to this crater, the inside of the crater was so smooth that not even a series of footprints were left!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the crater.
"You see, there are only traces of a few of us in the crater, which proves that the first group of people either did not go from the ancient city, but went directly from the edge of the black desert to the ancient city and went to other places, or they saw the crater and did not stop at all. ”
"What do you mean......" Chen Xiaopang asked with a frown.
"I mean, the group of inverted fighters who entered the Black Desert before us probably had a clear purpose, and they knew exactly where they were looking for, so they went straight in that direction!
Several people looked at each other, and they all felt that Poplar's analysis was reasonable.
Chen Dalin was the only one who shouted: "This is impossible, right? I was able to find this place successfully because I had been here more than ten years ago, but even I was not sure about the exact location of the tomb! Could it be that there were other people who had been here in the past ten years, and ...... This is the second time they're here?"
"That's good!" Chen Xiaopang immediately nodded with a blushing face, "Only the people who come for the second time will have no interest in this explosion crater, and they will go directly to their destination like this! So old man, you can take us to the tomb, I hope we can stop that group of people in time!"
Chen Dalin agreed, and immediately drove the camel to take the lead. The others also mounted camels and followed.
Continuing to the north, you can see a large stretch of black mountains in the distance.
The ruins of the Celestial Elephant Country have not been buried by yellow sand for thousands of years, and it seems that it is really because it is surrounded by black mountains.
And near the foot of the Black Mountain, there is a very conspicuous building standing majestically.
From a distance, it looks like an archway.
Chen Dalin stretched out his hand and said: "Behind that archway, there is the tomb group of the Celestial Elephant King! We came here back then, originally to find the tomb of the legendary Celestial Elephant King, but there are three tombs here, and there are no tombstones in the three tombs! We had to choose a tomb to enter at random, and the result was ......."
He didn't say anything further, but what the result was, except for Chu Changjiang and Max, everyone else present already knew.
The so-called legendary "Celestial Elephant King" is said to be the founder of the Celestial Elephant Kingdom, and the most prosperous period of the Celestial Elephant Kingdom was the reign of this Celestial Elephant King.
However, the Celestial Elephant Kingdom is located in the desert, and it rarely communicates with other countries in the outside world, so that there are very few legends about the Celestial Elephant Kingdom in the Inverted Dou Realm. And in the orthodox history books, it is only occasionally mentioned.
When Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian brothers talked to Bai Yang and others about the Celestial Elephant Kingdom before, the two brothers had a miserable look of the past that could not be looked back, so whether it was Poplar or Ding Lingling, they couldn't bear to inquire about the affairs of the Celestial Elephant Kingdom with the two of them in detail.
Later, he followed Chen Dalin into the Great Desert, Chu Changjiang asked Chen Dalin what he had seen and heard in the Celestial Elephant Kingdom, and Chen Dalin only dropped one sentence at that time: "Anyway, we are going there, if we can find it successfully, you can see it directly!"
His words made Bai Yang and the others understand that in his heart, the Celestial Elephant Kingdom was also a big wound that he did not want to touch.
So until today, it was the first time they heard the words "Heavenly Elephant King" from Chen Dalin's mouth.
Everyone had a question, but anyway, the tomb group was in front of them, and no one chased Chen Dalin to ask them.
However, Chu Changjiang suddenly said: "I know some legends of the Celestial Elephant King, I don't know if you have heard of it!"
As soon as he said this, the others were very surprised.
Bai Yang first said: "I don't know what the legend is, please tell Boss Chu!"
Chu Changjiang smiled faintly and said, "I can tell you, but ...... Please don't hide anything from me anymore!"
Bai Yang thought secretly in his heart, thinking that except for the fact that he and Tie Niu had taken the immortal medicine, there was nothing else to hide.
Then he nodded and said, "Okay! If anything happens, we will tell the truth, after all, as Boss Chu said, we want to live and die together, and it is best to be honest with each other!"
He actually said something quite eloquent, because he only said "something will happen again" and did not include "what happened before".
As a big boss with a successful career, how could Chu Changjiang not hear what he said?
However, Chu Changjiang did not expose the poplar, but just smiled faintly, slowly spoke, and said, "Legend...... This founder of the Celestial Elephant Kingdom has lived for more than 500 years!"
With an "ah", everyone, including Chen Dalin, looked at Chu Changjiang in great astonishment.
"Boss Chu...... Where did you hear this legend?" asked Poplar.
"Naturally, my father told me!" Chu Changjiang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Little Brother Bai should believe in this legend, right?"
He looked at Poplar with both eyes, and his words were also hidden.
Bai Yang had long thought that this big boss Chu probably knew that he had taken immortal medicine with Tie Niu, but now looking at his expression and listening to his tone, he was afraid that this guess was correct.
So what he said about the fact that the Celestial Elephant King lived for a full five hundred years, is there really such a legend, or did he make it up to test his aspen?
"I know a lot about the legends of the Inverted Dou Realm, why have I never heard of the Celestial Elephant King's life for five hundred years?
Chen Xiaopang quickly interjected into the topic, and it seemed that he also thought that Chu Changjiang had deliberately made it up to test Baiyang.
Chen Dalin smiled bitterly, but he didn't answer Chen Xiaopang, but turned his face to look at Chu Changjiang and asked him: "Boss Chu's words, why does it make me think that Ling Zun actually found the Heavenly Elephant Kingdom back then, and even entered that big tomb?"
Bai Yang and the others never expected Chen Dalin to say such a sentence, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and they all focused their eyes on Chu Changjiang's face.
Chu Changjiang smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand forward, and said, "Look, are there some camels tied to that archway?"
Everyone knew that he was changing the topic, but they couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
At this time, I was much closer to the archway, and suddenly I saw that there was really a group of camels, crouching under the tall archway.
The group couldn't wait to ask Chu Changjiang any more, and hurriedly drove the camel to speed up, and after a few minutes, the archway was clearly in sight.
