Chapter 356 The puzzling answer
The empty lake in the center of Shuiyue City at noon.
Two suns, one big and one small, were in the sky, and the bright sunshine that was constantly shining made the waves on the rough lake sparkle.
At the same time, scenes of fierce battles on the shore were also reflected.
Facing the more than twenty black stone giants of the third level who were attacking crazily on the wind and waves.
Under the command of the three garrison captains including Gerry and Carol, they bravely took the lead.
The five Shuiyue City garrison squadrons arrayed neatly around them were already fighting against the sudden and powerful enemy.
For a moment, swords and swords clashed, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Facing a powerful opponent, all the soldiers present clearly understood.
Once these crazy stone giants rush into the city, the consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous.
While the shouts of killing were loud, the well-trained soldiers tried their best to maintain their battle formation, taking advantage of their numerical advantage to try to stop the black stone giant.
But the strength of the opponent, after all, is at the third level, coupled with the huge body, both in strength and speed, it is far better than these ordinary first-level and a few second-level soldiers.
With the heavy punches of the black stone giants, many soldiers wearing heavy armor were knocked away together with the metal shields in their hands.
However, the sharp blades thrust by the soldiers could only leave a shallow scratch on the black stone giant's hard body, and at most only slowed down the opponent's movement by half a minute.
In a matter of moments, the defense line composed of more than 500 soldiers had been torn open by several large holes by the rampaging black stone giants.
"Explosive double slash!"
At the front of the chaotic soldier line, Carol, the captain of the garrison with a stern expression, was seen, the long sword in his hand flashing with cold light.
Rubbles scattered in all directions. After knocking back a black stone giant several steps, Carol shouted loudly: "All heavy infantry in front, light infantry and archers in the back, reorganize!"
However, just as she was raising her arms and shouting.
There was another black stone giant with blind eyes. He first knocked several heavy infantrymen in front of him to their knees.
Then, he waved his giant fist that shone with strange light and slammed towards her!
Since all this happened in a flash of lightning, by the time Carol reacted, it was already too late to dodge...
"Double lightning strike!"
At this critical moment, there was a deafening explosion.
A purple thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, directly shattering the thick stone arm swung by the black giant.
"Z-cut!"
The next second, a dazzling silver trail flashed past.
Aling, who had just arrived, waved the brilliant blade in her hand and completely reduced the black stone giant with its broken arm into a pile of rubble.
“Thank you very much!”
While her scalp was numb, Carol, who had saved her life, nodded quickly to Aling.
"You're welcome. If you want to thank me, just thank my master. Without that lord's magic, I wouldn't have been able to arrive in time."
Smiling faintly at Carol, Aling, who was dressed in a maid outfit, once again pulled out a beautiful sword flower and chopped down another black stone giant to the ground cleanly.
At present, Aling has reached the level of a third-level peak powerhouse. Coupled with the fourth-level weapons given by Lei Xiao, it is naturally easy to deal with these black stone giants who are just starting to reach the third level.
Hearing the sound, Carol, who was surrounded by soldiers again, immediately looked back subconsciously.
I happened to see Lei Xiao holding a simple staff. The purple magic circle flashed in front of him, and the whole body exuded extremely good magic fluctuations.
Casting a grateful look at Lei Xiao, Carol refocused her attention on the battle situation in front of her.
It wasn't until this moment that she noticed.
The long sword surrounded by brilliant colors in Aling's hand next to her was obviously an extremely good magic weapon, while her own long sword was just a second-level fine weapon.
"As expected of that lord's subordinate, what a luxurious configuration."
At the same time, Carol was shocked.
"The fire dragon is coming!"
With a soft shout, a giant flame dragon with fangs and claws rose into the air and roared straight towards the three black stone giants.
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, sparks flew everywhere, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose sharply.
Wherever the dazzling flame dragon went, heat waves rolled in, and the water vapor on the lake rose straight into the sky.
As expected, the three black stone giants were instantly reduced to invisible energy particles.
This scene made the soldiers on the side immediately let out a series of cheers and exclamations after being shocked.
For them, they were almost invulnerable and powerful enemies, but they didn't expect three of them to be eliminated so easily!
In mid-air, the fiery red magic wings flapped, and the one who controlled the flame dragon was holding the fifth-level staff Elemental Dance with a serious look on his face.
She has been promoted to the fourth level, and with the fifth-level staff given by Lei Xiao, it is naturally easy to deal with these third-level high-level golem puppets.
Of course, in order not to be too conspicuous and to keep one's cards up.
The brilliance exuding from the weapons in the hands of the main force and subordinates has been deliberately suppressed.
It seemed to have weakened significantly, making it impossible for other people around him to tell the specific class.
At the same time, on the other side of the battle, two black stone giants had been reduced to rubble in the arms of a burly strong man wearing a strange priest robe.
Immediately afterwards, the burly and powerful man easily jumped into the air, his thick and powerful arms opened, and suddenly compressed, and two more were shattered in response.
Among the falling black gravel, Ye Cang's figure gradually became clearer. As he landed gracefully, he gently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Not far away from Ye Cang, Dang Geli, another captain Crewe, and other soldiers saw this scene and couldn't believe their eyes.
With his physical ability alone, he directly crushed two three-level high-level golem puppets with strong defenses...
What's even more unbelievable is that this powerful man with unfathomable strength is still wearing a priest's robe?
Realizing this, all the garrison soldiers in Shuiyue City swallowed in their hearts.
Their eyes were all focused again, looking at Lei Xiao who was standing calmly behind him, the look of reverence on his face was beyond words.
There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers under this big shot.
"My dear, I didn't expect this guy to be able to kill the stone with his sister in his arms."
Feeling the gazes of the soldiers, Lei Xiao, who also saw this scene, could not help but curl his lips.
Immediately, Lei Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze fell on Bai Wei again.
I saw that this girl's figure was extremely flexible. The fourth-order short blade in her hand shone brightly in the sun, and she could shuttle between the two black stone giants with ease.
In the flash of cold light, her strength was at the third level and eight stars, and she was only one step away from the peak of the third level. She kept leaving deep and crisscrossing slash marks on the opponent's stone body.
Until these two black stone giants, who were almost twice as big as her, both fell to the ground and could no longer get up.
Just like that, under the strong intervention of the main powerhouses.
Not long after, the more than twenty black stone giants who were so imposing just now were completely wiped out.
"So strong..."
After everything settled, after a while, the three Shuiyue City captains Gerry, Carol and Crewe, as well as the soldiers, reacted one after another, and their faces were filled with shock.
This young adult not only has amazing financial resources, but also in terms of strength, he is definitely someone they can only look up to!
Because Lei Xiao took action very timely, only some of the soldiers in the garrison suffered injuries of varying severity and were not seriously injured.
"Thank you very much for your help!"
After placing the wounded, the three garrison captains immediately came forward to greet them.
"It's just a little effort."
Lei Xiao nodded, looked at a group of garrison priests rushing in not far away, and said to the muscular priest next to him: "Ye Cang, go and help."
"As you command! My lord."
Bowing gracefully to Lei Xiao, Ye Cang immediately joined the team of treating the wounded under the guidance of Gerry and the other three who were overjoyed.
Under the disbelieving gazes of the priests and wounded soldiers who had just arrived.
The rich dark golden life force surged in Ye Cang's hand.
Along with one after another, warm and soft halos of light continued to ripple out from Ye Cang's hands.
The wounds of the wounded soldiers around him began to heal quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some of the blood on the pale and feeble faces of some of the more seriously injured soldiers immediately returned to their original color.
Not long after, under the awed gazes of the wounded soldiers, Ye Cang returned to Lei Xiao's side, bowed and saluted: "Lord Qi, the mission has been completed."
“Very good.”
Nodding to Ye Cang, Lei Xiao first waved and summoned the three garrison captains, including Gerry and Carol, as well as the subordinates, and then frowned and said: "Everyone, regarding the unexpected incident just now , what is going on? ”
"Sir, the energy fluctuations that rippled out just before these stone giants appeared were exactly the same as the abnormal fluctuations that had occurred before!"
I saw Carol bowing and saluting, her sassy face full of respect.
"That's right, but it was just energy fluctuations before. Unexpectedly, so many scary guys appeared this time."
Gerry on the side swallowed involuntarily and added.
Having said that, another hint of uncontrollable gratitude appeared on Gerry's resolute face, and he continued: "Fortunately, adults are present, otherwise our defense line would have been broken through by those terrible guys before the reinforcements arrived. If they are allowed to rush into the city, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
"Yes, yes, thank you so much, sir!"
There was also a hint of fear on Crewe's resolute face: "By then, not only will we garrison troops suffer heavy casualties, but I'm afraid there will also be a bloody storm in the city."
"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Lei Xiao, who was still frowning, smiled faintly and continued: "If nothing else happens, the sudden appearance of those high-level demon puppets is also inevitably related to the disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion. What is certain is that these The high-level golem puppet was not summoned just now, and there is no controller around. It is just attacking everyone indiscriminately."
"Occasional abnormal energy fluctuations, the inexplicable drop in the water level of the moat and island lake, the sound of breaking windows at night, the disappearance of a large number of warblers, and now a group of high-level golem puppets suddenly appeared..."
< br>
Bai Wei's furry ears hidden under the illusion cloak moved slightly, and she said with a puzzled expression: "What is the connection between these and the disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion? It's really confusing, but those sudden arrivals The high-level golem puppet looks like it was transported here from invisible space portals..."
"Space portal? So that's it!"
Chao Yan, who had been thinking deeply, his iconic big eyes lit up, and then he showed a look of enlightenment, and he said to Lei Xiao: "Sir, I seem to know what all this is going on!" < br>
"Oh?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for the girl to continue speaking.
"Go back to my lord, because there is an unknown barrier area here!"
I saw Chaoyan blinking his big eyes with a determined expression.
"Boundary area?"
Looking at Chaoyan's determined little face, a hint of contemplation suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
This kind of barrier area that forms its own world is naturally familiar to Lei Xiao.
Because half-elf villages such as Bai Zhi and Chuan Gu are in such a boundary area.
"Concerning the rather magical barrier area, I once heard Jiang Li, a space magister, introduce it. Although various races have various construction methods, there are countless types."
"But what remains the same is that they all need the help of powerful space magicians."
"Thus, the energy fluctuations emitted by these barrier areas have the same thing in common."
"That is, there must be a considerable part of the energy particles of the space system, which is easy to distinguish. However, in the strange energy fluctuations that flashed just now, there seems to be no space system energy particles."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Ye Cang, who was on the side, was obviously aware of this problem. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "How can we explain the sudden energy fluctuation that is completely different from the barrier area?"
Hearing this, Huzhang also nodded in agreement. Although he is a strong man in the physics department, he has seen many different types of enchantment areas, including the half-elf enchantment.
Although these barrier areas are very hidden, it is difficult for people to detect them.
However, the energy fluctuations occasionally emitted have a distinct flavor of space energy, which is indeed completely different from the one just now.
Otherwise, with his level 5 powerhouse perception, he would definitely notice it immediately.
The three captains, including Gerry and Carol, all showed puzzled looks.
Their city lord, Faxia's father, although he was only a third-level peak powerhouse, he had a lot of experience.
If it was really a barrier area, it would be impossible to be confused.
"The answer is actually very simple."
Chaoyan smiled, his big eyes twinkling, and began to explain. (End of chapter)
