Chapter 401 Three sudden fifth-level breaths
"Knotweed, what happened?"
Seeing the burly man next to him suddenly stop, Lei Xiao, who was in the shadow of a big tree, asked while getting off the giant white wolf.
"Going back to the lord, in the direction of the old mining area ahead, there are three energy fluctuations with strength at the fifth level, and they are galloping towards here."
There was a rare solemn look on the rugged face of the tiger stick. He stroked his chest and saluted Lei Xiao: "These three energy fluctuations all appeared high in the sky and were filled with an unusual sense of irritability. If the subordinates expected If not, they are three adult dragons who are all in the fifth level.”
After finishing speaking, a vast soft energy suddenly swept out from the burly body of the knotweed.
It then wrapped around everyone's body, forming a translucent energy film about one finger thick, instantly suppressing everyone's aura to the lowest level.
"Three fifth-level dragons? Why did they suddenly appear here?" Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a look of awe on his cheeks, full of surprise.
At the same time, the five people on the side, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing, also looked shocked.
Immediately afterwards, a variety of colorful weapons flashed out, completely surrounding Lei Xiao.
For a moment, the atmosphere around the team suddenly became extremely tense.
Needless to say, as one of the most well-known races in the world, the Dragon Clan has always been synonymous with ferocity and arrogance. It can be said that they must retaliate and are extremely difficult to deal with.
In the long history, there are not many evil dragons that can easily destroy a city.
Especially the dragons above the fifth level, with their domineering physical abilities, coupled with the terrifying dragon flames that can melt almost everything.
It can easily turn an ordinary city into a burning purgatory, which is undoubtedly a nightmare.
So many bards' hymns or fairy tales end with the brave man successfully slaying the dragon.
The most important thing is that a fifth-level evil dragon is enough to destroy an ordinary-sized city... let alone three of them appearing at once?
Such strength is obviously not something that the current group of people can contend with.
Realizing this, drops of cold sweat quietly slipped down from everyone's foreheads.
"But, as the Lord just said, why do these three sudden dragons appear here?"
Chao Yan's slightly pale little face was full of solemn expression, and he said in confusion: "You know, the Dragon Clan is a race with a strong sense of territoriality, and will almost never leave its own territory without permission."
"Most of the evil dragons that appeared in history were aliens who were expelled from the tribe. After all, the dragon tribe is an extremely proud creature. Under normal circumstances, it rarely communicates with other races, and it even disdains to launch attacks on other races. .”
After a pause, Chaoyan, who had always been careless, frowned and said with a rare frown: "If there is no special reason, it stands to reason that the Dragon Clan would not appear here randomly."
"It seems that there must be a hidden secret in this."
Lei Xiao first took a deep breath, and then nodded thoughtfully while signaling the subordinates around him to calm down.
Immediately, Lei Xiao, who was deep in thought, looked around, pointed at a mountain wall that was extremely hidden and easy to escape from, and then said: "Then let's just wait and see what happens."
Lei Xiao and his party had just arrived at the mountain wall, when a rapid and earth-shaking horn sound was heard from Gelin City not far away.
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly sense that a large number of soldiers began to gather towards the checkpoint.
Gelin City had obviously discovered traces of the three giant dragons and was already in a state of emergency.
"Lord, those three dragons that are speeding towards us are about to approach the nearby airspace."
The solemn sound of the knotweed reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"Understood."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao, who had completely concentrated his mind, could already sense that there were three vast energy fluctuations in the sky, surging in, and the momentum could be described as extremely astonishing.
Then, Lei Xiao noticed with some confusion.
These three breaths suddenly stopped when they were about to reach the airspace of the old mining area not far away.
The formation changed from the previous horizontal row to an inverted triangle, and then quietly suspended in the air.
For a moment, everything felt eerily calm.
Just when the group of people was confused, in the next second, a strange energy wave suddenly swept out from the sky, like an invisible surging wave, quickly spreading in the direction of Gelin City.
In a moment, when the energy wave completely dissipated, the three giant dragons did not stay much, but left the airspace where the city was located in the direction they came from.
Because it all happened in a flash of lightning.
By the time Lei Xiao reacted, the entire airspace had returned to its original state and became quiet again, as if nothing had happened.
Realizing this, the group of people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense bodies began to relax.
"Lord, if my subordinates are not mistaken, the strange energy wave just now is a special detection spell."
Ye Cang pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and bowed to Lei Xiao.
Huzhang and Chaoyan also showed expressions of approval one after another and nodded.
"I see, no wonder these three giant dragons suddenly appeared here."
After pondering and nodding slightly, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and said, "It seems that the other party is obviously looking for something."
"What the lord said is absolutely true."
Chaoyan blinked his iconic big eyes and echoed: "However, it is a rare anecdote that the Dragon Clan came to the place where humans live to look for things."
"Sister Chaoyan, why is this? Isn't it said that dragons like shiny things? What if the other party is eyeing the treasure here?"
I saw Bai Wei's furry ears moving slightly, with a puzzled expression on her face.
"The dragons do like shiny things, but attacking human cities because they are targeting treasures is a story that only appears in fairy tales."
Smiling at Bai Wei, Chao Yan shook his head and began to explain: "In the eyes of dragons, most humans are just ants that can be crushed to death. If you were a giant dragon, you would The whole ant nest, just to find a grain of rice hidden in it? ”
"That's right. In addition, the Dragon Clan is an extremely arrogant race. They value their own face very much. Even if they occasionally have something they like, they will hardly take it from a race that they consider to be weak."
Ye Cang, who was on the side, also pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then added: "After all, this can easily become the laughing stock of other similar people."
"That's it."
Bai Wei nodded in understanding and murmured to herself: "It's true that it's not a grain of rice, but if it's a large piece of meat, then maybe I can consider it again..."
< br>
Hearing Bai Wei's muttering, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly and thought to himself: "The thing that the three fifth-level dragons are looking for is obviously not something ordinary. What exactly is the other party looking for?" Object?”
Frowning slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "Moreover, the other party's purpose is very clear. It is this cold flame city. After finding no clues, he just left."
"It can be seen that there is a high possibility that this item is stored in a city in Lengyan, and even these dragons cannot be sure about this."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately informed his subordinates in various places of the matter by reading words, and told everyone to pay attention to the relevant situation.
As long as there are more dragons going to other cities to explore, this inference can naturally be supported from the side.
After completing all of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
"Good fellow, in addition to the previous opponents, the Lengyan royal family and the mysterious organization, there is now a group of dragons who are looking for something?"
"I have to say, things are really getting more and more interesting."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said to the subordinates beside him: "Okay, let's move on."
"Yes! Lord!"
All the subordinates saluted together, caressing their chests and saluting Lei Xiao.
It didn't take long. After climbing over mountains and ridges, Lei Xiao and his party arrived at the edge of a long and narrow valley.
This location is right in the hinterland of the old mining area of Gelin City, which is rarely visited by people.
At a glance, I saw a somewhat fast stream flowing through the middle of the valley. Under the sunlight, it reflected the sparkling light.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the downstream area of the creek.
It's covered in thick bushes and is where the hidden mines are located.
At Lei Xiao's signal, the group of people rushed towards the hidden mine without stopping.
When he got close to the bushes, Lei Xiao had just taken off his invisibility cloak. Five figures who had been waiting there immediately swarmed up and said excitedly: "I've seen Mr. Xiaoshen!"
These five people are naturally Su Ru and Su Mo, as well as Sun Qi, Zhao Lu and Zhang Shan.
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao moved his eyes and glanced at the five lords.
I saw Su Ru and Su Mo, still wearing the clothes with the local characteristics of Gelin City, with hollow musical notes and carvings, and also equipped with exquisite leather short boots and wrist guards.
Especially Su Mo, who still wears a delicately carved hairband and a neat single ponytail, looks like a sports girl.
The other three people have not changed much, they are all dressed up in smart clothes.
Of course, Sun Qi only had one lens left on his glasses, and Zhao Lu had some faded red hair on his head, which was still very conspicuous.
The only change is that Zhang Shan's bangs are much neater than before. It seems that they have been carefully trimmed.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period."
Observing this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and nodded slightly.
Judging from the excited expressions on the five people's faces, it was obvious that they had not noticed that three uninvited guests with terrifying strength appeared in the sky just now.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and continued: "Okay, let's talk while we go in."
Stepping straight into this secret cave like a maze, under the familiar guidance of the five lords, Lei Xiao and his party soon arrived at the vast underground space at the end.
At this moment, accompanied by the continuous tapping sound of metal pickaxes, Lei Xiao noticed it under the light of the light spar he had left behind.
In this vast underground space, there are longing figures.
I saw more than 200 ordinary subordinates, well organized, mining and pushing carts, and it was a busy scene everywhere.
At the same time, Lei Xiao made further discoveries.
The underground space that was originally only about 100 square meters has been expanded to nearly 200 square meters, and several new mines have appeared, all of which are being excavated intensively.
"Brother Xiaoshen, since we had limited experience at the beginning, the progress of the excavation has been much slower."
"However, after this period of time, through studying in various chat channels, and taking the initiative to consult lords with relevant knowledge, plus the subordinates under my command are becoming more and more skilled, the output of this mine is now becoming more and more High!”
Su Ru took a step forward and began to introduce himself quite proudly.
Then, he pointed to a few piles of black crystal stones neatly stacked not far away, and smiled and said: "Those are the achievements of the five of us during this time!"
“Very good.”
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao went straight to the excavated ore, and then put all the ore into his bag with a wave of his hand.
After some inspection, Lei Xiao was delighted to find that there were 8,000 units of obsidian and 300 units of dark magic crystal.
"Currently, the remaining reserves of these two resources in the territory are 4,500 units of obsidian and 900 units of jet black magic crystal."
"The main resources needed for the next level of the Guardian Defense Agency are 12,000 units of obsidian and 800 units of jet black magic crystal."
"In other words, the resources in my hands now are enough to upgrade the guardian defense mechanism to another level!"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but show a hint of excitement again.
"In this way, the strength of the earth guardians and sky guardians will undoubtedly be further improved!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then asked several lords on the side: "Can we increase the number of manpower in this mine?"
"To be honest, Mr. Xiaoshen, according to our estimates, this mine has huge potential, and the amount of obsidian and dark magic crystals it contains is even more impressive."
I saw Sun Qi pushing up his glasses with only one lens left on the bridge of his nose, and then responded: "Therefore, even if two or three times more miners are put in, it will be more than enough!"
"That's it."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said calmly: "Then, I will just ask you to quadruple the number of people."
"What?!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, after being stunned for a moment, a look of uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on the faces of the five people. (End of chapter)
