Chapter 388 The castle filled with smoke
Just as Chao Yan finished speaking, the harsh sound of howling wolves came to the ears of the group of people from all directions.
At the same time, a large amount of violent energy fluctuations also began to ripple out from all over the city.
The sudden burst of huge energy fluctuations instantly caused the surrounding airflow to become chaotic.
Waves of fierce wind composed of turbulent energy rushed towards Lei Xiao and the others with lightning speed, causing their cheeks to hurt.
For a time, there were one after another howls of wolves, chaotic energy fluctuations, and under the dark blue night, the deserted pale moonlight continued to be projected onto the ground.
The entire dark street ahead instantly became strange and dangerous.
"What on earth is going on?!"
After a moment of surprise, all the subordinates around Lei Xiao, including Chao Yan, reacted very quickly.
A handful of colorful weapons immediately appeared, surrounding Lei Xiao in the middle of the team.
At the same time, a thick layer of energy shield appeared on Lei Xiao and all his subordinates, and they fully entered the fighting state.
Facing tens of thousands of transformed werewolves is equivalent to facing at least tens of thousands of strong men above the second level. You can imagine the huge pressure.
After all, just a squadron of second-level elite soldiers can theoretically compete with an ordinary fourth-level strongman, let alone amplifying this number by more than a hundred times?
"Relax, we are all equipped with invisibility cloaks and concealment rings. Unless we are fourth-level or fifth-level experts with keen perception, our whereabouts will not be exposed."
"Furthermore, before the mutation occurred, this place had already entered a state of martial law. It can be seen that those still wandering on the streets should be soldiers in this city, and the number is much smaller."
Instructing the subordinates around him not to be too nervous, Lei Xiao said with a solemn expression: "The top priority now is to figure out what happened here."
"What the lord said is absolutely true."
Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked up at the two full moons in the night and said with a frown: "Lord, although the atmosphere in the city is extremely disordered at present, you can pass through the property. With my lower perception, I can still detect a hint of illusion.”
After a pause, Ye Cang added: "If my judgment is correct, the source of this illusion aura comes from the sky and is continuously seeping into the ground."
"Illusion from the sky?!"
A look of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared on Chao Yan's fair face, and she blurted out: "No wonder the day turned into night in an instant. It turned out that someone cast a sky illusion!"
"Sky illusion?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
In this world, it is as if illusion is a branch of magic.
Illusion itself also has many different branches, and sky illusion is one of them.
"This type of illusion can form a special half-view illusion in a relatively wide range. The area changed is only the part of the sky. Day and night can be freely controlled, causing the target to lose the concept of time. , or use the darkness to confuse your opponent.”
Lei Xiao's eyes also fell on the two full moons in the dark blue night, and he continued to murmur to himself.
"Unlike panoramic illusions that can change everything, this half-view illusion has extremely limited effects and will not cause substantial harm to people."
"However, in this place full of werewolves, the situation is naturally very different. It seems that, as I speculated before, the other party also knows that this is a country of the Moon Wolf Clan."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's expression became more solemn.
"I didn't expect that someone would use sky illusion to force the residents here to transform into wolves."
Bai Wei's long eyelashes flickered, with an incredulous look on her face, and she murmured to herself: "You know, the night of double full moon is the day with the most abundant moonlight energy in each month. This is why the Moon Wolf Clan People will passively transform.”
Swallowing involuntarily, Bai Wei continued: "It seems that this mysterious guy who casts sky illusion not only transformed a night with double full moons, but also perfectly simulated the changes in moonlight energy..."
"That's true."
Chaoyan on the side couldn't help showing a hint of doubt, and said: "But if the other party really wants to occupy this mountain country, why should it guide the residents here to transform, thereby greatly increasing the difficulty of occupying this place?"< br>
"It can be seen that the other party's purpose is not to occupy this place."
Lei Xiao slowly retracted his gaze to look up at the stars and responded.
"Then why the other party wants to block the passage between here and the outside world is simply unbelievable."
A rustling voice sounded, and Lin looked puzzled as she observed the cold street under the moonlight.
After hearing this, the faces of the other subordinates also showed the same puzzled expression.
"At this stage, there are two problems in front of us."
After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao frowned and said: "First, we need to find out why the mysterious opponent first caused the mountain to collapse and blocked the place, and then used sky illusion to force the residents here to transform."
"Second, of course, is the original goal, to find out Bert's relationship with this place and the reasons why he is not welcomed here, so as to be fully prepared for the next step of conquering him."
Having said this, Lei Xiao immediately ordered: "Okay, next, according to the original plan, let's move towards the Grand Duke's Mansion here."
"Yes! Lord!"
All the subordinates bowed and saluted Lei Xiao, stroking their chests.
After a while, Lei Xiao, who was jumping quickly on the roof, noticed.
The streets below were already in chaos.
From time to time, you can see groups of orc soldiers transformed into wolf heads and human bodies. Their eyes are dull and their fangs are salivating. They are wandering aimlessly, obviously looking for targets to attack.
At the same time, low roars continued to come out from the throats of these werewolf soldiers, making people feel their scalp numb.
Others are even roaring while madly attacking the buildings and trees nearby. Their sharp eyes with constricted pupils are full of primitive wildness and have no trace of reason at all.
"Good guy, this combat power is definitely much stronger than the average second-level soldier."
In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao looked at the trunk of a towering tree not far away. It was torn into pieces by a group of Moon Wolf tribe soldiers with their sharp claws and teeth, and then flew around with a large number of them. The wood chips in mid-air fell to the ground with a crash, stirring up dust all over the ground.
After being amazed, Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the road ahead.
Facing the biting wind, not long after, at the end of the city, a large and simple castle halfway up the mountain was clearly visible.
At this time, it can be clearly observed.
This mottled and simple castle is surrounded by smoke and smoke, and seems to have been attacked by unknown forces.
"Let me take a closer look at what kind of crisis has occurred in this werewolf country that is located in the mountains and tries its best to hide itself."
Smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke that filled the air, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself. (End of chapter)
