Chapter 429 A sudden encounter at the ruins
"Your Excellency Chensha, let's move on."
After a while, City Lord Al's voice rang in Lei Xiao's ears again.
"I understand."
Lei Xiao noticed when he nodded to Al.
Because this unknown underground space is too huge, the exploration formation just now changed again.
From the previous column, it became a lined up horizontal column, advancing side by side with Orr, Gale, Old Calvin, and the knights in the center.
Only a small team of priests and a mixed team of magicians and heavy infantry responsible for lighting were left around.
"This kind of open-net exploration can indeed clarify the structure here more efficiently."
Lei Xiao looked at the team that was starting to move again and nodded thoughtfully.
"But this way, if there is a trap, the possibility of triggering it will undoubtedly increase a lot."
Lei Xiao, who had just arrived at the core of the team, couldn't help but frown slightly, then relaxed again.
"By the way, this is the ancient ruins of a giant after all. If it is a physical trap, it is obviously difficult to trigger it with the weight of an ordinary human being."
"And the Titans are not good at magic. Even if they set up magic traps, they probably won't be able to cause any shocking waves. I hope everything goes well."
Lei Xiao thought this while refocusing his attention on the dark scenery around him.
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
Facing the unknown ahead, after the initial shock and throb, a wave of nervousness, caution and uneasiness have quietly spread throughout the team again.
There was no other sound around him except the even sounds of armor clashing and footsteps.
And these rustling sounds were quickly annihilated by the darkness in this extremely empty underground space, without even an echo being heard.
In this super-large ancient Titan clan ruins covered with two rows of giant stone pillars, the small expedition team of more than a hundred people was like a broken leaf floating on the river, causing no ripples at all.
"If you include the psychological effects, perhaps it is more appropriate to compare it to a tiny spark in a bottomless pit, as if it could be swallowed up by the unknown darkness around you at any time."
Looking at the dusty ancient and unknown environment around him, Lei Xiao curled his lips.
"Before time traveling, as an ordinary office worker who was sometimes severely beaten by society, I could often feel my own insignificance psychologically. But after time traveling, even though the psychological insignificance gradually ceased to exist, I could feel the physical insignificance again. The world is so insignificant.”
At this moment, Lei Xiao could only see the dappled giant bluestone pillars on the left and right, and could only see the flickering reflections on the sword blades of the surrounding knights and soldiers.
"Before this, I led a group of subordinates under me to explore the ruins of the Bright Elves near Shen Banxia's territory, the ancient ship in the cave of Songyin Mountain, and the Winged Human Clan enchantment area in Shuiyue City. I have been able to It is confirmed that these three locations and ships were destroyed in the blank era three thousand years ago.”
"And this ancient ruins of the Titan clan, was it also destroyed in that unpredictable blank era, and was forgotten and buried in the torrent of time?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's expression couldn't help but become more solemn.
"I remember that when we were at the auction before, the fourth-level eight-star water magician mercenary old man who pretended to be an auctioneer once said that the first ruins of the [Eternal Night Magic Box] were also destroyed in the blank era. .”
"If this is true, then this ancient ruins of the Titan clan must not have been destroyed in the blank era. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why these two completely unrelated ancient ruins are so close to each other."
"After all, according to Jiang Li, who is well versed in space magic, even the most powerful space magician, using the most powerful teleportation circle, will never be able to teleport such a huge building to another place."
"Of course, except for us lords from other worlds with extraordinary talents, such as Lin Chuan who can randomly teleport the entire territory."
Walking in the huge unknown space, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and there was a trace of doubt on his face.
"Having said that, in this different world of swords and magic, although there are many things that are unimaginable in Blue Star, they still have their own laws and operate regularly."
"Only we, the lords of other worlds who came suddenly, have the magical ability to break these rules. What is going on behind all this?"
"Could it be that...it is really God who is controlling everything behind the scenes? But why would God do this?"
The doubtful look on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious. Under the protection of the knights beside him, he continued to move forward in the unknown darkness while muttering to himself in his heart.
"At this stage, based on the analysis of the situation I know, if a war between the gods and all the races on the mainland really took place in the blank era, then the gods would definitely not let future generations forget all this, so that There is a blank era without any records.”
"After all, speaking from common sense, the gods should use this to warn future generations. It can be seen that things are obviously much more complicated than I expected."
"However, through previous chats with pioneer traveler Wang Xi, coupled with the current series of clues, one thing can basically be confirmed."
"That is, whether it is the blank era three thousand years ago, the disappearance of the Chosen Son of God, the arrival of us alien lords, or the upcoming catastrophe, there must be some potential connection."
"Knowing this is already a big breakthrough for me. As for the other things, I guess as I become more powerful, mysteries will gradually be unveiled."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, something unexpected happened with a sudden earthquake.
Directly in front of me, on a giant floor tile the size of a bedroom, magic waves rippled, and a small cyan magic circle emerged from the surface of the floor tile.
Before anyone could react, the small cyan magic array was like a prairie fire spark igniting the wilderness, causing a large number of identical cyan magic arrays to quickly light up around it.
In the blink of an eye, at least two hundred magic arrays appeared out of thin air, like blue flowers blooming on giant floor tiles, which was dizzying.
"This is a preset magic puppet summoning technique!"
An old and unexpected voice sounded. Old Calvin blew his beard and blurted out first.
"All soldiers move closer to me, line up to meet the enemy!"
Al's reaction was also very quick. As the magic power on the staff surged, he shouted: "Your Excellency Cinsha, the sides and rear will be left to you for the time being!"
"Don't worry."
Lei Xiao responded and nodded to the knights beside him.
The knights surrounding Lei Xiao had already laid their sharp weapons across their chests and were ready for battle.
The weapons of the sisters Tina and Tia were both metal spears for both infantry and cavalry, and what Ryan held in his hand was a heavy metal bow.
As for other knights, in addition to regular knight swords, there are also a small number of spears and longbows.
It is not difficult to see from this that although they are all knights, they are good at different weapons.
Just as old Calvin exclaimed, the more than two hundred cyan magic arrays that suddenly appeared suddenly began to shine brightly, and the strong light flickered.
The burly bluestone soldiers, each about two meters tall, quickly condensed into shape. The expressionless stone faces had wide pupils, shining with scarlet light.
I saw these golem puppets appearing out of thin air, all dressed as shirtless warriors, holding sharp long-handled stone axes, and exuding an extremely violent aura.
These sudden golem puppets suddenly made the whole scene become dangerous.
Seeing this, when he flashed the staff of nature, there was no wave on Lei Xiao's calm face.
The strength of these two hundred or so golem puppets is at the level of second-level senior experts.
In the exploration team, in addition to the two fourth-level powerhouses, City Lord Orr and Gale, there are seventeen third-level powerhouses, namely Lei Xiao himself, ten third-level knights, old Calvin, and five commanders.
Such a configuration, coupled with other second-level elite soldiers, is naturally more than enough to deal with these golem puppets, not to mention the three people Tiger Stick, Hong Ye and Ye Cang who have been guarding him.
Of course, this is just Lei Xiao's own idea.
Not far away, the Lord of Fanyin City, Orr, looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
You must know that Fanyin City currently has a huge deficit, and these elite second-level soldiers are the most important combat force in Fanyin City. Once the losses are heavy, it will undoubtedly make things worse.
After all, re-recruiting and training an elite second-level soldier requires a lot of money and time.
Therefore, what Orr considers is naturally how to use the most effective way to suppress the battle loss ratio to a minimum.
But having said that, it is obviously unrealistic for him, the noble lord of a city, to risk his life and take the lead.
"The heavy infantry holds up their shields in front to hold down the formation, and all the long-range forces are behind. Try to completely destroy the opponent before it gets close!"
Al barely hesitated at all, raising his staff high and commanding.
"Yes! Lord City Lord!"
The soldiers' neat and powerful response immediately rang out.
Although the incident happened suddenly, these elite soldiers from Fanyin City were well-trained after all, and their physical and psychological qualities were far beyond those of ordinary soldiers.
Gale on the side first looked at Lei Xiao, and then quickly came to the heavy infantry camp forming formation at the front.
The enemy was facing a formidable enemy, and with him, a fourth-level expert who was good at close combat, by his side, the pressure on the heavy infantry would undoubtedly be much lessened.
"It's Lord Gale, Lord Gale is here!"
"I will have nothing to fear if I can fight side by side with Lord Gale!"
"Let these stone people have a taste of the power of the Fanyin City Guards Heavy Armor Team!"
As expected, the morale of the heavy infantry was greatly boosted. As metal shields fell heavily one after another, an airtight steel defense line was soon formed.
This position is located next to a giant stone pillar, which can be used to further reduce the side pressure with the help of the stone pillar's shielding.
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of nervous and rapid footsteps, the magician team and the archer team also arrived one after another. The light at the top of the staff and the sharp arrow tip complemented each other, pointing directly at the golem puppets that had just been completely condensed.
"The ranged knights will attack together with me, while the others will defend where they are, paying attention to the flanks and rear."
Lei Xiao, who was holding a simple staff, also nodded to the knights beside him.
As for Huzhang, Hong Ye and Ye Cang, they would not show up randomly unless absolutely necessary.
Especially knotweed, it had appeared once before at the auction in Fanyin City.
It left an indelible impression on all the nobles present at the time, including the city lord Orr,
Therefore, Lei Xiao has already told him that even if necessary, Polygonum cuspidatum must be used as the last trump card and cannot show up easily.
Lei Xiao, along with Ryan and other five knights, had just arrived not far behind Orr when the chants of Orr, the old magician Calvin, and a group of magicians began to sound.
Accompanied by various obscure words, he blurted out one after another, and magic arrays of different colors began to rapidly unfold in mid-air.
The strong winds generated by the energy fluctuations also rippled in the air, making the magicians' robes rustle.
Not long after, as a fourth-level wind magician, Al's staff began to shine brightly.
I saw a stern look on his weathered face. The top of the staff in his hand pointed at the surging demon puppets in front of him and shouted: "Wind Demon strangles!"
In the midst of the howling wind, a fuzzy giant humanoid figure with a tornado-shaped lower body quickly took shape in the golem puppet camp a hundred steps ahead.
In the blink of an eye, a second-level shirtless puppet was rolled up into the sky, and then directly reduced to dots of energy particles in the air.
According to Lei Xiao's rough estimate, at least thirty bare-chested puppets must have been instantly wiped out with this blow, and the destructive power could be described as extremely impressive.
But judging from Orr's labored expression, it was obvious that he had spent a lot of his magic power.
Immediately afterwards, the thorns cast by Calvin, the fireballs, water arrows, wind blades of other magicians, and the holy light bullets of the priests also followed.
Mixed with the arrows of the archers, they caused waves of waves in the camp of the golem puppets.
Naturally, Lei Xiao was not idle either. He continued to use lightning strikes that could be fired instantly. Along with the explosions, while causing considerable destructive power, the momentum was quite astonishing, attracting the attention of other soldiers and knights around him from time to time. There was an exclamation.
You know, compared to the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, magicians with thunder attributes are very rare and are known for their powerful attack power.
Moreover, Lei Xiao's magical energy vortex has reached the level of a third-level senior expert.
In addition, Lei Xiao deliberately suppressed the brilliance. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is a five-level natural staff.
All of the above are superimposed. Even though Lei Xiao cast only ordinary first-level spells, the destructive power he caused was even comparable to that of the old magician Calvin at the peak level of third-level spells.
"Hey, what's so great about this is that he's not just a crispy magician who needs protection."
Sensing the exclamations, including her sister Tina's, Tia, who was in charge of the rear, snorted lightly, and a look of disdain appeared on her delicate face hidden under the knight's helmet. (End of chapter)
