System: Arena of the Gods

Chapter 956 Statues

The children in the tank were fluttering and trying to climb out, but the female barbarians guarding them would push them back as soon as possible.

The barbarians beside the four Wang and Chu people put their hands on their shoulders and pointed at the children, talking and laughing, as if they were showing off.

The children's screams pierced into their hearts like needles. At this moment, they were even glad that they could not understand the barbarian language.

Long Ji and Zheng Huan could hardly suppress their inner anger. What was there to be happy about?

Wang Chu and Long Ji held down the arms of the two of them and signaled them not to be impulsive. After all, this was the barbarian tribe's own business and they could not overstep it.

Later, the four of them saw the old high priest walking past the vat and tapping the children on their foreheads one after another. Then the children stopped crying and howling.

This is to forcibly close the child's pain and five senses. Wang Chu once guessed that such a thing could be done if the quality of mental power reaches a certain level.

For example, some specially trained people can temporarily weaken the pain through psychological suggestion. This is not a fantasy.

Wang Chu and the other four suppressed their hearts, but soon they noticed something strange.

The children who were thrown into the vat did not experience adverse effects such as exhaustion of flesh and blood or weakened breath. Instead, the power of qi and blood became stronger.

This time, the four of them didn't know that there was a misunderstanding. This was not a sacrifice, but a way to help these children shape their bones.

The blood is the blood of a great demon, which is indeed like poison to children, but after being transformed by the vat of thick green liquid, it turns into a good medicine that promotes strong qi, blood, roots and bones.

This is why the bodies of the barbarians are astonishingly strong. If they have been tempered by such extreme methods since childhood, they will either become useless or become horrible physical training.

The four people sighed helplessly. This was the disadvantage of the language barrier. No one could explain to them what they were doing. If they couldn't hold back their anger and took action, asking for trouble without telling them, they would also ruin the weak relationship they had established with the barbarians. point.

After the high priest asked all the children to keep quiet, he raised his arms and shouted. The barbarians responded, and the banquet began.

Barbarians don't pay attention to civility and courtesy. Some scramble to grab food, some push glasses and change glasses, and some drink wine spreads, some twist their wrists, etc.

With no more grudges in their hearts, the four Wang and Chu people gradually let go. Long Ji and Zheng Huan put their arms around the barbarians and started shouting. They didn't know what they were saying, but as long as they behaved bravely enough, it would be fine.

Hao Ren has always been lukewarm to outsiders, and the barbarians knew his personality to some extent through contact, so few came to see him, so he was able to enjoy himself while he drank.

Not long after Wang Chu arrived, the other barbarians were not familiar with him, so Tamu and his team took turns coming to drink with Wang Chu, and presented them with barbecued meats and fruits that they had finally snatched from other people.

Looking at the meat and fruit that were so tightly held, Wang Chu really didn't have much appetite, but he still accepted it with a smile. At worst, he could just pretend that he hadn't snatched it away from others before giving it away.

After there was no one to disturb him, Wang Chu looked around. As soon as he arrived at the central venue, he was attracted by the bodies of the women and children in the village. Later, he was pulled over by the high priest to talk. Then his friends returned. He really didn't observe the environment carefully. .

There was nothing strange about the stone houses outside the site, and he did not sense any secret arrangements such as formations. Of course, this did not mean that there were none, and it was very likely that they were hidden by the high priest.

Then his eyes fell on the central statue. It was a burly man with a bronze mask on his face. He held a spear in his right hand and stepped on the body of a headless monster. As for the head of the monster, , clutched in his left hand on his chest, it was a bear beast.

When he first entered the secret realm, Wang Chu could only see the back of the statue in the northern cliff cave. The burly man's broad shoulders and round waist blocked the huge bear's head, and what he was stepping on was just a stone at first.

His eyes only stayed on the statue for a few seconds, then moved away to look elsewhere. There was nothing surprising about it anymore.

But there was a vague feeling in his heart, as if he had overlooked something important.

This feeling forced him to take it seriously. He knew very well that in addition to finding out the situation of his companions, he was here for the treasure that could cover up the aura of heaven.

He looked around again, this time extremely seriously, for fear of missing some hidden corner.

Glancing at the statue altar again, he felt that there was nothing strange about it except for its grandeur, so he looked away again.

At this moment, the strange feeling appeared again, and he immediately returned his gaze to the statue, but he still felt nothing strange.

He understood that since ancient times, places or facilities such as sacrifices have played an important role, not to mention the statue in the center of Stone Village. How could it be just symbolic and featureless?

Things that make people look normal are the most abnormal things.

And isn’t the situation of the statue similar to that of the arrow?

It's not surprising when it's visible, but it's automatically ignored when it's not. If the statue wasn't too big, it would be easy to notice. It would be unrealistic to ignore it completely, and it would be difficult to notice the abnormality.

Wang Chu also understood the reason for the strange feeling in his heart. Although he didn't know what the treasure was, he actually had an idea in his mind through questioning the system, which was considered a psychological suggestion.

When his cues are ignored due to external factors, a strange feeling of emptiness results.

"Young man, do you also think that our ancestors, the Barbarian Gods, are mighty and majestic?" Wang Chu's ears suddenly rang with these words.

Wang Chu's thoughts were brought back. He looked at the high priest beside him and asked calmly: "There must be some allusion to this, otherwise it would be better to just use human figures. Fighting ferocious beasts is more suitable for murals."

The high priest sat down and laughed heartily. He was obviously in a good mood. The noisy crowd around him also spontaneously moved away and went to the other side to have fun, leaving only the high priest and Wang Chu as four outsiders.

"This is the battle where our ancestors killed the Bear Lord and achieved enlightenment, and entered the realm of gods. It is of great significance to our clan. At that time, the human race was weak and wild beasts were rampant on the mainland. In order to compete for living space, the human race and the wild beasts started fighting. After years of war, the human race is still relatively weak.

"However, at that time, several heroes also emerged in the human race. They protected the human race with their lives and opened up several pure lands for the human race with their blood. Only then did the human race continue and grow...

"Until the powerful wild beasts on the mainland gathered together in an attempt to start a war of annihilation against the human race, in order to fight back, the human race thought of countless ways, used the most radical methods to increase their strength, and used the deaths of countless people to establish victory...

"My barbarian clan is one of them. The most powerful clansman at that time thought of bathing in the blood of beasts, and gathered the warriors of the clan to test it, but only one person survived, and he became the later barbarian god.

"The Barbarian God rises and kills all around. Anyone who kills a wild beast will be bathed in its blood. He is getting stronger and stronger, and his followers are getting more and more. Finally, he faces an army of wild beasts led by Lord Xiong. Both sides The soldiers were exhausted, and one man and one beast fought for days. In the end, the barbarian god killed the bear in the divine realm with a cultivation level that was infinitely close to the divine realm, and bathed in his blood and entered the divine realm..." the high priest said eloquently.

The three of Longji listened very seriously. Wang Chu also acted very seriously on the surface, but secretly he kept observing the statue, trying to find the treasure, but he never found it.

"After the Barbarian God defeated those wild beasts, he passed on the secret method based on his own experience and protected peace for a hundred years. During this period, the Barbarians rose and there were many strong men. After the Barbarian God thought that his protection was no longer needed, he broke through the realm with force and ascended. Upper Realm." The high priest finally finished speaking, his expression uncontrollable with excitement.

Zheng Huan and Long Ji couldn't help but applaud, and Hao Ren kept nodding. Wang Chu looked away before the high priest looked over, and nodded like Hao Ren.
