Chapter 363 White Tower
He stepped straight into the six-pointed star-shaped teleportation magic circle in front of him, which exuded light gray light.
Accompanied by a feeling of lightness that escapes gravity, it passed by in a flash.
When Lei Xiao's vision became clear again.
I found myself on a new floating island.
Surrounded by all the subordinates, Lei Xiao noticed.
The area here is almost the same as the floating square just now, and it is also extremely vast.
I saw a wide, straight avenue paved with white marble, leading directly to a group of buildings at the end of the island.
On both sides of the avenue, there are all kinds of dense green plants and towering trees.
Because it has not been repaired for a long time, many green plants have spread to the spacious road, making weeds everywhere, and it feels like walking into an ancient ruins.
Under the bright sunshine, the shadows of tall trees intersect with the light spots cast by the sun, making people feel dizzying.
"Lord, this is the suspected city hall area that my subordinates just discovered."
Ye Cang, who was in the front row of the team, bowed and saluted: "After a simple investigation by my subordinates, no traces of the appearance of high-level golem puppets have been found yet."
“Very good.”
Smelling the fresh air brought by the large area of green plants, Lei Xiao waved his hand and made a forward gesture.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his group, who were walking quickly on the boulevard, to quickly approach the building complex in the second half of the floating island.
If you look closely, you will see that these milky-white buildings are the same as those in the floating square just now, with round roofs.
The buildings themselves are either in the shape of a towering tower or a square shape similar to a castle. They are staggered in height and look quite exotic.
However, it was just like what Lei Xiao and his group saw along the way.
The surfaces of these buildings are almost all covered with moss and vines. The mottled milky white color is intertwined with the emerald green that symbolizes life, giving them a weird ancient and vibrant atmosphere.
"Lord, according to the information my subordinates learned when they were in the Magic Tower, the importance of Winged Human Clan buildings is usually determined by their height."
Chao Yan on the side walked up with small steps, pointed at a huge building in front of him, bowed to Lei Xiao and said: "Therefore, according to my subordinates' judgment, the tallest white tower-shaped building is , is the most important place here! ”
"That's it."
Looking in the direction of Chaoyan's finger, Lei Xiao noticed.
The tall white tower not far away is indeed the tallest building here, about 10 stories high.
Different from ordinary cylindrical towers, this winged human race building is in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism, with edges and corners, and looks very special.
What's more important is that its area is also extremely large, seemingly thousands of square meters.
"Good guy, this is simply an office building in a fantasy world."
Thinking of this with surprise in his heart, Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and began to continue taking steps.
Coming closer to this tall tower that looked like a large office building, Lei Xiao made further discoveries.
At the main entrance of the tower and the surrounding area, there are hundreds of petrified statues of the Winged Human Race standing scattered here and there.
These winged humans are almost all dressed as warriors, and most of them maintain a standing posture with weapons in hand.
It seems that while standing guard, he directly encountered the petrification magic and had no time to react.
Looking at the petrified statues covered with various vines around him, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and set his eyes on the gate of the tower again.
Probably because there was no time to react at that time, the gate of the tower was still wide open without any obstruction.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Nodding to the subordinates beside him, Lei Xiao took his own steps again.
Stepping straight into the unfamiliar and ancient giant white tower, Lei Xiao was surprised to find it.
The scene inside the tower can be described as very strange. The first thing that appeared was a vast atrium area that ran through most of the building.
On the periphery of the atrium, there is a neat circle of crystal-colored translucent platforms, with as many as six or seven floors.
You can vaguely see that the entrances to the rooms are evenly distributed in the innermost part of the platform.
Moreover, the floors and walls here are made of white marble, just like the exterior, making the entire building look like a huge milky white honeycomb.
"Lord, according to the knowledge that my subordinates have learned, this is one of the most common special architectural structures of the winged people. For a race like them that can fly at will, this structure can quickly travel to any room in the building. It is undoubtedly extremely convenient.”
I saw Chao Yan blinking her iconic big eyes again, her red lips slightly parted.
Judging from her eyes that were also full of curiosity, it was obviously the first time she had seen a real winged human building.
"It's interesting."
Lei Xiao nodded with interest and continued to observe.
On the first floor where everyone is located, in addition to a few rooms and scattered winged human statues, there are ordinary stairs leading to the upper floor.
Moreover, the place is inlaid with shining crystal stones. After a long time, although the brilliance emitted by these crystal stones has been greatly reduced, they can still have a good lighting effect.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and 10 earth guardians holding heavy swords and heavy shields immediately appeared out of thin air.
Following a burst of heavy footsteps, security began at the door of the first floor and at various important passages in the lobby area.
When everything is still unclear, it is naturally better to be cautious.
"Lord, there are not only stairs leading to the upper floors, but also a passage leading underground."
Not far away, Ye Cang's slightly surprised voice immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Understood, let's go to the lower level first and take a look."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and nodded to the subordinates around him.
"As you command! Lord."
All the subordinates touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
Go down the not steep white marble steps.
Not long after, Lei Xiao and his group came to a mottled metal door guarded by more than a dozen tall winged stone statues.
"I didn't expect the penetrating power of this petrification magic to be so strong."
Seeing this, Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It can be seen from this that the Winged People in the entire barrier area were probably collectively petrified at the same time."< br>
"I have to say that such powerful petrification magic is simply unheard of."
Faxia subconsciously stroked his frizzy hair and echoed.
"That's right, it's conceivable that the winged humans in this barrier area did encounter an extremely powerful unknown enemy."
Chaoyan first took a deep breath, and then said solemnly on his face: "You know, as the priest uncle said, the backlash effect of petrification magic on the caster is extremely powerful."
"Therefore, we must make every effort to improve our strength as soon as possible so that we can better respond to all crises, especially the catastrophe that may occur at any time. It is already close at hand. By then, just as the prophecy said In that case, there will really be a terrible catastrophe between heaven and earth, which is still unknown.”
At this point, Lei Xiao changed the topic and continued: "Okay, let's focus on the matter in front of us."
"As you command, Lord!"
Bowing to Lei Xiao, the three magic experts Ye Cang, Chao Yan and Fa Xia immediately began to investigate the metal door in front of them.
On top of this giant metal door, there was a faint flash of colorful magic light, which was obviously sealed by a magic lock.
After a detailed investigation, Ye Cang came back to Lei Xiao and bowed down to report: "For the information, Lord, this metal door was originally subject to several powerful magic restrictions. With the strength of my subordinates and others, , it was originally difficult to open, but now these magic restrictions are on the verge of extremely unstable collapse, so it should not be difficult to open them.”
"Oh? Why does this happen?"
Lei Xiao couldn't help but show doubts on his face.
You know, magic prohibition, also known as the perfect magic lock, is not just as simple as a lock on the door.
Instead, it is a huge barrier that seals off the entire room, or even the entire area.
And they are all self-contained entities with complete energy storage and absorption functions, which is why they can exist for a long time.
Just like the depths of the Elf Dungeon that I have not yet opened, the Immortal Gate of Gelin City, etc.
"Back to Lord Lord, if my subordinates' predictions are correct, the magic restrictions of these winged humans are quite special. They are not independent entities, but share the same high-power magic power supply point, or high power. The energy supply magic array, and this high-power energy supply magic array, is already in a damaged state with almost exhausted magic power.”
Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and began to explain: "The advantage of the winged people doing this is that it can strengthen the strength of the magic restriction."
"Compared with ordinary energy-supply magic arrays that can only maintain a single magic ban, this high-power magic array, although the effect of outputting magic is extremely strong and has a self-circulation mechanism, its weakness is also very obvious, that is, it needs to be frequently Perform maintenance.”
After a pause, Ye Cang finally concluded: "After three thousand years of unmaintained time, this magical restriction has fallen into a state of damage that is about to collapse."
"Understood, does this mean that this powerful magic restriction strengthens the strength at the expense of duration?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and murmured to himself: "The Winged People here must have never thought that one day, they would be suddenly petrified by an unknown enemy, right?"
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao took a few steps back, and then said: "Okay, let's open this metal door."
"As you command, Lord."
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Ye Cang came to stand in front of the thick metal door again, and slowly placed his two dark golden shining palms on the surface of the metal door.
Within a moment, with the sound of broken glass, the magical light on the surface of the giant metal door began to fade rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye until it completely disappeared.
Just hearing a slightly harsh "squeak", the metal door slowly opened in response.
Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao stood at the door and looked in, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
I saw that in this vast underground space that could not be seen to the end, there were hundreds of magic arrays of various colors flashing, large and small.
These magic circles come in different shapes, including the most common hexagrams, circles, ovals, triangles, and even irregular polygonal patterns.
Some magic arrays are attached to the walls and the ground, some are suspended in mid-air, some are rotating rapidly, some are moving slowly, and some are simply stationary.
At first glance, it is colorful and looks like a giant precision machine in operation, which makes people feel dizzying.
It can be clearly seen that many of these magic arrays are dim, or bright and dim, and they almost seem to stop functioning.
At the same time, waves of unusually strong energy fluctuations continued to ripple from the metal door, instantly filling the surrounding air with an old and ancient smell.
"Lord, it seems that this is the location of the formation in this barrier area!"
While being surprised, Chaoyan's big eyes lit up and he couldn't help but blurt out.
On the side, Ye Cang and Fa Xia, two powerful magicians, were surprised and nodded.
"Very good, then let Ye Cang and Chao Yan take charge of this place. Let's restore the magic circle here to normal as soon as possible."
Lei Xiao, who recovered from the surprise, immediately ordered: "I will leave six guardians of the earth to protect you here. If an unexpected situation occurs, we will arrive as soon as possible."
Although in this barrier area, it is impossible to communicate with the subordinates through words, once the guardian of the earth is attacked, Lei Xiao can still detect it immediately.
"Yes! Lord!"
Ye Cang and Chao Yan both bowed and accepted the order, saying in unison.
"Others, please follow me. During this time, let's continue searching in this white tower to see if there are any other gains."
After placing six earth guardians at the door, Lei Xiao first nodded to Ye Cang and Chao Yan, and then left the underground space with Huzhang, Faxia and others.
Going up the white stairs, on the second floor of the giant tower, Lei Xiao and his team quickly found an area similar to a storage room.
In this area, there are a large number of fully armed stone statues of Winged Human warriors standing guard at the door. It seems that the guards are extremely tight.
“I didn’t expect to find such good things here!”
After some investigation, when Lei Xiao saw the shining objects in front of him in a small warehouse, an expression of excitement suddenly appeared on his face. (End of chapter)
