Chapter 115 The ruthless tactics of the ancient tribe!
"Because the strong men of my Xiao family always die accidentally one after another!"
Hearing Xiao Shan's words, Zhou Chen was suddenly startled.
Even though he had some guesses for a long time, when he actually heard it from Xiao Shan's mouth.
An icy chill still surged into my heart involuntarily.
At this time, Xiao Shan's old face was full of sorrow and anger, his eye circles were a little red, and he had obviously entered a state of mind.
I saw Xiao Shan minding his own business and continued: "Based on my reading of the clan's classics and my continuous exploration of external intelligence over the years, I can confirm one thing."
"That's... the accidental death of a strong member of my Xiao family probably started thousands of years ago."
"For example, the leader of the remaining members of the Xiao clan who fled to the Jiama Empire thousands of years ago - Elder Xiao Kong, it is very likely that he died in an accident."
"According to the genealogy records of the Xiao family, Elder Xiao Kong disappeared in the Warcraft Mountains seven years after he came to the Jiama Empire."
Having said this, Xiao Shan's mood became obviously excited, and his tone of voice also increased a lot: "Although the genealogy does not indicate the strength of Elder Xiao Kong."
"But according to that girl Yu'er's speculation...that elder Xiao Kong has probably reached the realm of Dou Sheng! He is the core powerhouse of the ancient Xiao clan!"
"How could a mighty Fighting Saint disappear in a remote mountain range where even sixth-level monsters are rare?"
"This must have an unimaginable hidden meaning!"
After a pause, Xiao Shan, who became more and more angry the more he spoke, continued: "In addition to the great elder Xiao Kong, there are actually hundreds of Xiao family heads and elders who have died accidentally or disappeared in the past thousand years!"
"On the genealogy, more than two-thirds of the heads of the Xiao family did not die normally!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Shan's old face was filled with tears.
There is a saying: When a man sheds tears, he does not shed them lightly, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness.
It can make a seventy-year-old grandfather cry bitterly, which shows how great the grief and indignation in his heart is!
Seeing this scene, even though Zhou Chen wanted to comfort him, he didn't know how to do it, so he could only sigh.
After a long time, Xiao Shan finally calmed down.
Immediately, Xiao Shan wiped the tears on his old face, looked at Zhou Chen, and said in an old and hoarse voice: "As people get older, they always react to the situation, which makes you laugh at the joke, Xiao Chen."
"Your old mood...I understand."
After sighing, Zhou Chen lowered his voice and said solemnly.
"Then old man, thank you for your understanding."
An ugly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Xiao Shan stopped talking nonsense. After taking a deep breath, he continued: "After realizing the secret of the genealogy, that girl Yu'er went to Jia Ma Imperial Capital in person.
, meet Xiaochen, your other fiancée."
"Is it Yao Ye?"
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and guessed.
"good."
Xiao Shan nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Yu'er asked your fiancée, Princess Yaoye, to use the power of the Gama royal family to fully investigate the situation of the Xiao family."
"And this Princess Yaoye is also very generous, and she soon found out a shocking secret."
"That is, in the past few hundred years, as soon as the successive Xiao family heads or clan members broke through to the Dou Wang realm, it would not take long before they died in mysterious circumstances."
"And the last head of the Xiao family more than ten years ago, Dou Wang Xiao Lin, Xiao Zhan's father and my cousin, died in a very problematic manner."
"More than ten years ago, Xiao Lin came back seriously injured after an outing. After confessing a few last words, he died of his injuries."
"According to his last words, this cousin of mine was seriously injured by enemies of the Xiao family."
"But the problem is that according to Yaoye's investigation, it was found that the Xiao family does not have any enemies with strength above the Douwang level in the Jiama Empire."
"Xiao Lin himself has no enemies at the level of a fighting king."
"Therefore, Xiao Lin did not die at the hands of enemies within the Jia Ma Empire, but was seriously injured and killed by an unknown powerful person from outside!"
"And not long after we got the news, we were attacked by a group of young and strange strong men in the Warcraft Mountains!"
Having said this, Xiao Shan raised his head, looked at Zhou Chen, and said in a serious tone: "Now, you understand."
"Understood."
Zhou Chen nodded, feeling very complicated.
The Xiao family was obviously targeted by a mysterious force hiding in the dark a thousand years ago.
The Dou Sheng elder Xiao Kong, who was probably older than Xiao Xuandu, was probably killed by this mysterious force.
Later, as soon as the Xiao family's clan leaders and elders surpassed the Dou Wang level in strength, they soon died violently.
Obviously, they also died at the hands of this mysterious force.
Including the death of Xiao Yan's grandfather Xiao Lin, as well as the young and strange strong men who attacked Xiao Yu, it is clear that they are inseparable from this mysterious force.
Moreover, there is another very important point.
That is, in a fantasy plane like Dou Qi Continent where the power of heaven and earth belongs to individuals, high-level martial arts and fighting skills are basically cared for personally by the strongest person in the family, such as the clan leader.
Because it is far less safe to put it in the Sutra Pavilion than to put it in the hands of the strongest person in the family!
This leads to a problem.
That is, if the strongest person dies outside, the inheritance of martial arts and fighting skills may be cut off.
The Xiao family's heaven-level and earth-level martial arts and fighting skills must have all been lost due to the large number of accidental deaths of clan leaders and elders.
Even if they put the backup copy of the martial arts and fighting skills in the Sutra Pavilion, they can't stop the mysterious force from stealing them.
Strong men in the family continue to die violently, and all high-level martial arts and fighting skills are lost...
No wonder the Xiao family has declined to such an extent after thousands of years.
If it weren't for Xiao Yu, the current strongest person in the Xiao family would probably still be just a great fighting master.
Then here comes the problem.
Who is this mysterious force that keeps harvesting the Xiao family's powerful men above the Dou Wang level, but does not directly destroy the Xiao family?
As a time traveler, Zhou Chen feels that the answer is already obvious.
After all, in addition to the three major groups of Warcraft, there are probably only eight ancient tribes in the entire Dou Qi Continent that can easily kill the Dou Sheng-level Elder Xiao Kong!
But since the three major groups of Warcraft have no hatred against the Xiao family, it is impossible for them to come all the way to kill a fighting saint from the Xiao family.
Then there are only seven other races among the eight ancient races.
But for thousands of years, other ancient races basically did not know the direction of the Xiao family's escape.
Even if the Soul Clan, the sworn enemy of the Xiao Clan, would not know the whereabouts of the Xiao Clan for a long time.
This is obviously inconsistent with the timeline in which the strong men of the Xiao family have continuously encountered accidents for thousands of years.
Only one ancient race knew the whereabouts of the Xiao family a long time ago.
This race is the ancient race among the eight ancient races that claims to be a close ally with the Xiao race.
Obviously, the ancient clan is a mysterious force that has been killing strong men of the Xiao family for thousands of years and taking care of the head of the Xiao family to become a great fighting master!
