Looking at the position of the elephants, not only were they not attacking, but they seemed to be guarding their fallen king in a strange ritual.
Six crimson Ten-Thousand-Year Giant Elephant are at the front, standing neatly in six directions, forming a circle, and the center of the circle is Elephant King lying in a pool of coagulated blood.
The remaining nearly a hundred giant elephants are outside this circle, forming larger circles layer by layer.
The previously rioting elephants became extremely quiet at this time, and they all stared quietly at the center, their Elephant King.
At this time, the elephant Ten-Thousand-Year Giant Elephant at the front raised its trunk and raised its head to the sky with a mournful cry, and then the six Ten-Thousand-Year Giant Elephant began to slowly move in a direction and circle at the same time.
Ten-Thousand-Year Giant Elephant The elephant circles outside the circle also began to slowly move layer by layer, but the direction of rotation of each layer of elephant circles was different from that of the elephant circle in front of it.
It's the opposite direction.
And the rotation speed is also different.
Not long after, the entire herd of giant elephants began to move. Looking down from the high cliff, one could see that the entire herd was rotating in a circle, which seemed to contain a strange pattern. The speed at which each other was moving seemed like some kind of precision instrument had started to activate.
"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that a behemoth like Golden Rock Giant Elephant would become so orderly without anyone's command after the death of Elephant King." Xie Yue said in surprise.
Bao Jingjing is worried whether the strange behavior of the elephants will have an impact on Xu Huxiao hidden in Elephant King's belly.
The girl looked at Gale and asked her worries.
Gale thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, it should have no impact. This unique behavior of the elephants will last for three days, and the elephants will leave automatically after three days."
Hu Liena immediately understood the reason why his senior brother wanted to risk hiding in Elephant King's belly.
"After Soul Ring condenses, it will naturally dissipate within an hour if it is not absorbed. Now Elephant King's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring has condensed. Senior brother took the risk to hide it in Elephant King's belly. It should be for smooth operation. Absorbing Soul Ring, this is the only way to absorb Soul Ring. Otherwise, when it is known that elephants have this unique guardian behavior, it is only possible to absorb Elephant King Soul Ring by getting rid of all the giant elephants within an hour."
Gale sighed and nodded, "Nana is right. What Huxiao came up with is indeed the only way, because it is impossible to kill the entire elephant herd in a short time after killing Elephant King, but it is still too risky to do so."
"But now it's done, I can only pray that Huxiao goes well."
"Senior brother will definitely successfully absorb his third Soul Ring." Hu Liena had extremely firm belief in his eyes.
Different from other people's worries, in Hu Liena's heart, there is only one possibility for Xu Huxiao to succeed, because once Xu Huxiao in the canyon is life-threatening by the elephants, she will jump off the high cliff without hesitation, even if it is the abyss of death.
Maybe she can't turn the tide, but she can give everything without reservation.
No matter life or death, when it comes to love, Hu Liena has extremes that are difficult for others to understand and imagine.
If she could do it, she would even let the entire Lost Grand Canyon be buried with Xu Huxiao, and then follow Xu Huxiao.
After having this idea, Hu Liena no longer has any worry or fear in her eyes, because no matter what the situation, she and Xu Huxiao will face it together.
Because, before in Black Prison, she had already sworn in her heart that she would never let her senior brother alone again in the future.
Compared with Hu Liena's extreme calmness and paranoia, Orleans, Yun Ji and others are constantly praying for the safety of Xu Huxiao in their hearts.
At this time in the canyon, the black Soul Ring condensed on Elephant King's body has not yet been absorbed, and everyone is nervously watching every move in the canyon, even if they are exhausted physically and mentally, they do not relax at all.
An hour seemed extremely long at this time.
Xie Yue felt that everyone on Gaoya was in a tense and uneasy mood, so he wanted to find a topic to lighten the atmosphere.
At the same time, he is also curious about the special protective behavior of Soul Beast Golden Rock Giant Elephant.
So, Xie Yue asked his teacher Gale: "Teacher, can you tell us the origin of this special ceremony Golden Rock Giant Elephant Herd?"
After everyone heard this, they all involuntarily shifted some of their worries. In fact, they were also very curious about this Soul Beast behavior.
Gale did not turn his head. Hearing the question from his disciple Xie Yue, he observed the movement in the canyon and explained:
"This kind of protective behavior of Golden Rock Giant Elephant Herd is very rare among Soul Beast. According to Soul Beast research data, Soul Master Scholar observed the behavior of the elephant herd for twenty years and proposed that this is a unique phenomenon that Golden Rock Giant Elephant Herd will occur after a member of the same race leaves.. This is not a worship ceremony, but a resurrection ceremony, because in this kind of Soul Beast inherited memory, it is believed that after the death of a fellow tribe, they will not return immediately, but will have three days to resurrect. During these three days, the giant elephants in all groups will stop eating and surround their fellow tribesmen in a very regular circle to protect them, waiting for the moment of their resurrection."
"If there is no resurrection after three days, then the elephants will think that their fellow elephants are completely dead, and then they will leave and let the yellow sand of the canyon bury the bones naturally."
Resurrection ceremony?
There was such a magical thing in Soul Beast. Yan was also interested in this and asked:
"Is it true that a dead giant elephant came back to life within these three days?"
"Yes, and there are quite a few." Gale affirmed.
What, really?! Yan and other people who listened attentively were surprised.
Yan continued to ask, "Teacher, does this kind of resurrection have the basis for Soul Master Scholar's explanation?"
This time, Gale shook his head and gave a negative answer:
"No."
"So far, no one can explain why Golden Rock Giant Elephant came back to life under the protection of the elephants. This is also one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of the Soul Beast Realm. Just like no one knows why Soul Ring did not appear after Soul Beast Shrek was killed, no one knows the mystery of the resurrection of the giant elephant."
"But many scholars believe that this may be related to the ceremony of the circle formed by the elephants."
At this time, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Ao Li'ao's mind. He looked at Elephant King's body in the canyon and said involuntarily:
"If Elephant King is really resurrected, then Huxiao in Elephant King's belly will not turn into Elephant King's son because of this strange resurrection ceremony, but turn around and turn into a Golden Rock Giant Elephant? Then, will Huxiao still recognize us?"
Snap!
As soon as Ao Li'ao said these words, the back of his head immediately received timely 'care' from his sister Orleans.
"Bah, bah, crow's mouth, Huxiao will not turn into an elephant son, let alone a giant elephant. Huxiao will definitely come back safely. Damn Little Ao. If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will throw you down right now!"
Ao Li'ao covered the back of his head in pain and felt like crying but had no tears. He didn't know why he couldn't control his talkative mouth.
"Believe it, believe it, I believe it! Sister, don't get excited. I'm just taking a guess. I hope Huxiao returns safely as you do. Don't get excited."
Ao Li'ao said, covering his mouth and taking several steps back.
Orleans glanced at him and snorted, "Guess? Guess on the bright side, or just shut up and stop talking."
Ao Li'ao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then manually zipped up his mouth and closed it.
Xie Yue looked at the elephants circling Elephant King in the canyon thoughtfully, "It is really ridiculous to turn people into Soul Beast. It should be impossible. Moreover, I think the chance of Elephant King being resurrected is extremely low, because all other Soul Ring analyze Out, and since Huxiao got into the belly of Elephant King, it must have completely destroyed Elephant King's inner palace. With only an empty shell of Elephant King left, I really can't imagine what kind of power can bring Elephant King back to life."
Gale nodded and said, "Xie Yue's analysis is correct. Among the examples of giant elephant resurrections so far, none of them can be resurrected after being injured like this. Therefore, Huxiao should be safe in Elephant King's belly. After three days, it is confirmed that Elephant King has died, and the elephant herd should disperse automatically."
"What I'm actually most worried about now is whether something will go wrong if Huxiao absorbs Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for the first time. After all, according to my estimation, that Elephant King is definitely not an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Elephant King. It may even be fifty thousand years old."
"Fifty thousand years is the limit of Soul Sage. It would be too risky to forcibly absorb a Soul Ring of such a high age with Quasi-Soul Elder's Soul Power cultivation without any experience."
Everyone felt the same.
At this time, Ghost Child, who had been silent, spoke, "I think you don't need to worry too much. After all, Master Huxiao never does anything that is uncertain. Besides, Master Huxiao's father, His Majesty Demon Bear, also chooses to believe in him. So, I think we should believe in Master Huxiao's judgment that he will be fine."
Hearing Ghost Child's words, Gale also temporarily put aside his worries, "I hope so. Well, we have been staying on this high cliff for the past three days. Now we have insufficient food and drinking water. We need some people to go out to look for food, and some people to monitor the situation in the canyon on the high cliff."
"What I think is that Teacher Borba is in a coma now, but I used Soul Power to detect it. He should be fine in the short term, so I, Xie Yue, Ao Li'ao and Jingjing will go out to look for food and water. The rest of you will stay on the high cliff and don't leave. I will be back soon."
"This is a silent flare. Remember, no matter what happens in the canyon, don't act rashly. Send the flare first. This flare lasts for a long time after it is sent out, and the color is very obvious. I will notice it as soon as possible. If you have anything else, wait until I come back. Do you understand?"
The five people responded in unison, "Understood."
"Orleans As the captain, you must fulfill your responsibilities as the captain at this time and restrain the entire team. Don't act randomly out of concern."
"Teacher, I know."
Gale said to Hu Liena, "Nana, you are the calmest in the team and the best at observing and distinguishing. I hope you can carefully monitor the situation in the canyon, record any situation, and report to me when I come back."
"Yes, teacher."
After the arrangements were completed, Gale said, "Okay, now let's see if Xu Huxiao will choose to absorb Soul Ring within this hour. When the situation is generally stable, our team that goes out to find food and water will leave."
······
The people on the high cliff were waiting hard for what would happen at this moment. In the canyon, Xu Huxiao in the belly of Elephant King sensed a strange phenomenon.
His Dark Sun Spiritual Power sensed that the giant elephants surrounding him were transporting Soul Power towards the Elephant King body he was hiding in a very special way!
Soul Power is transmitted from the underground through the Hell Elephant Roar frequency that can Silence Soul Skill, using rocks as the medium.
"Could it be that this Soul Power transport is the secret of the giant elephant's resurrection from the dead?"
