Chapter 434 The Hidden Road
Hearing Calvin's old voice of surprise, Lei Xiao nodded to Hong Ye and the knights, and followed the sound and walked over.
As for Hu Zhang and Ye Cang, they were naturally still hidden under their cloaks and did not show any flaws.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao followed the old magician's surprised eyes and looked at him.
As if on the edge of the giant boot heel adjacent to the ground, there is a beautifully engraved wavy texture, which is currently emitting a faint fluorescence.
It can be clearly seen that a small six-pointed star pattern appears in the center of the wavy texture.
This pattern is located exactly in the middle of the wavy texture. It looks very much like a part of the decoration, but it also gives people a strange sense of disharmony.
"Your Excellency Chensha, this six-pointed star pattern is a special magic mechanism. It was only under my detection spell that its true form was revealed."
The old magician nodded to Lei Xiao, stroking his gray beard and explained: "However, I haven't found a way to activate it yet. Please wait a moment, Lord Chensha."
After finishing speaking, I saw the top of the old magician Calvin's staff, khaki energy surging, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and began to continuously touch the six-pointed star array pattern.
However, after a while, there was still no response.
This strange energy fluctuation caused the city lords Orr and Gale to gather over one after another.
After many attempts to no avail, the old magician smiled awkwardly and explained: "You may not know that this kind of magic mechanism that needs to be activated contains profound mysteries and is very difficult to solve."
"To put it simply, it is like a large magic code lock. It needs to use several specific magic characters to activate according to the specified sequence."
"If it is cracked violently, the insurance measures will be triggered, causing the mechanism to be completely locked. This is the complete difference between magic mechanisms and magic restrictions."
After a pause, the old magician stroked his beard and smiled again: "I have decades of experience in deciphering. I have tried hundreds of common combinations just now. I think it won't take long to solve it. ”
“I didn’t expect there to be such a mystery in it.”
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
It was not difficult to tell from the old magician's words that the many magic restrictions he had encountered before were equivalent to conventional physical locks.
It requires a specific key, or a strength higher than or equal to the magic forbidden level, to forcibly crack it, which is "power".
This kind of magic mechanism is equivalent to a magic code lock.
It requires a specific password combination or precise deciphering, which is called "skill".
“I have to say, it’s really interesting.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled suddenly and responded: "Then it's all thanks to Master Calvin."
"Haha, it should be."
Old Calvin also smiled, then took a deep breath, raised his staff again, and began to work.
But after a while, there was still no movement.
"Master Calvin, is this magical mechanism so complicated?"
Al, the dungeon lord who was beside him, couldn't help but frowned and asked.
As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the arts, and what is needed to decipher magic mechanisms is the study of relevant academic classics and a lot of field operations. After years of accumulation of experience, practice makes perfect, and it has little to do with strength.
Although Orr himself is a fourth-level wind magician, his understanding of this aspect is limited.
"I have to admit that the Titan family's mastery of magic is much more advanced than what is recorded in ancient books."
Old Calvin smiled awkwardly and wiped the sweat off his head.
Judging from his tired and frustrated old face, it was obvious that there was still no progress.
"Lord, why don't you let me go?"
The crisp sound that was deliberately suppressed sounded, and Hong Ye whispered in Lei Xiao's ear: "I really don't know why that little guy made such a simple magic mechanism so complicated."
"Go ahead."
Looking at Hong Ye's frowning expression, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "Try not to hurt the old man's self-esteem."
"Follow your orders, my subordinates will pay attention."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye raised her neck and took her own steps.
"Kid, get out of the way."
When he got close, Hongye flicked his ponytail and said calmly to Calvin with an expressionless face.
"Little... kid? Are you calling me?"
In surprise, the old magician quickly gave up his position and stood beside him with a blank look on his face.
When Orr and others saw this scene, although they were a little puzzled by this title, they were fifth-level powerhouses, so no matter what they said, they naturally made sense.
Furthermore, I have long heard of some strong female magicians or female alchemists who have spent their entire lives studying the secret of beauty.
It can be inferred from this that although this dashing fifth-level powerhouse looks to be only in his twenties and in his prime, his real age may be very old.
Of course, the age issue of strong women must not be stated openly, otherwise the consequences can be imagined.
"Your Excellency, this magic mechanism is extremely complex, please handle it with caution."
Old Calvin's cautious prompt sounded again.
After finishing speaking, looking at Hong Ye's fair and translucent delicate profile, the old magician's face was full of awe, but at the same time, a trace of doubt appeared.
It is not difficult to see from the battle just now that this is obviously a fifth-level strong man with both magic and martial arts who is rare to see in a century.
It stands to reason that the opponent's cultivation of two energy vortexes at the same time has already taken twice as much time and effort as an ordinary strong person.
This means that after spending a lot of energy on cultivation, it is impossible to have time to study this extremely complicated magic deciphering method.
After all, even if you are a fifth-level powerhouse, your life and energy are still limited.
Just when the old magician's old face was full of doubt.
Hong Ye casually stretched out a slender finger and pointed it directly on the surface of the six-pointed star pattern. Dozens of red magic arrays of different sizes spread out around Hong Ye's slender figure.
The large and small red magic arrays, like magic gears, instantly formed a large and sophisticated magic machine, which started to move together with the slight movement of Hong Ye's slender fingers.
For a time, a large number of complex and strange symbols began to appear or disappear on many red magic arrays at a speed that was dizzying.
"Good guy, this is simply a ruthless magic deciphering machine."
Seeing this wonderful scene, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Not long after, accompanied by a series of "click" sounds similar to unlocking, the six-pointed star pattern engraved on the giant boot began to glow with green light, miraculously detached from the surface of the giant boot, suspended directly in the mid-air, and began to continuously Rotation expands.
Finally, he slowly fell back onto the giant boots of the statue of the God of War.
Rumble...
As if a switch had been touched, with a sound of rubbing stones, the entire leg of the giant God of War statue was slowly lifted up and bent in mid-air.
In its original position, a giant bluestone door with a height of about 10 meters was revealed.
Seeing this, everyone present was astonished.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Ye had easily cracked this magical mechanism!
"Exquisite! I didn't expect this strong man to have such amazing skills in deciphering magic mechanisms. It can only be described as unbelievable..."
Old Calvin's wrinkled face had a look of shock, and he couldn't help but swallow.
With such superb cracking technology, even Leng Yan's top archaeologists may not be as good as one or two out of ten!
"Not only is he a double fifth-level powerhouse, but he also possesses such exquisite magic skills. This obviously cannot be described as a master of time management. It is simply too terrifying."
While marveling, an unrealistic idea suddenly appeared in the old magician's mind, that is, he could become his disciple, or become his younger brother.
Looking at the old Calvin, who had a high status in the archaeological community, with an expression of admiration that he had never shown before, Orr and Gale couldn't help but look at each other.
To be able to admire this respected old magician who has been dealing with archeology all his life, the fifth-level female strongman's archaeological achievements are obviously extremely terrifying...
"As expected of Hongye, I was not disappointed."
Looking at the slender back not far away, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself: "After all, dragons are creatures with long lifespans, which is reasonable."
Because the giant statue of the God of War suddenly raised its legs, this sudden change caused other soldiers around to stop and look up at everything in disbelief.
"Your Excellency Chensha, can I go in and take a look later?"
Staring at the hidden secret door that had been revealed, City Lord Al asked Lei Xiao with an expectant look on his face.
"That's what I meant."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and then, surrounded by Tina, Ryan and other knights, he came to the front of the giant secret door.
The city lord Orr immediately commanded the elite soldiers to assemble and re-formed a dense exploration formation.
When everything was ready, Lei Xiao nodded to Hongye who was already waiting in front of the door and said: "Okay, open the door."
"As you command, my lord."
Hong Ye bowed and saluted, and then stretched out a finger again. A dazzling red light flashed past, and the giant door opened immediately in response to the light.
Then, at Lei Xiao's signal, Hongye stepped into the door first.
In order to prevent other traps from appearing, it is naturally the safest way to let Hong Ye, a fifth-level expert, go explore the way.
Seeing this scene, Al couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from the situation just now, the possibility of a trap inside the door is almost 100%.
And with this powerful female fifth-level expert taking the lead, there is no doubt that possible losses can be minimized or even completely avoided.
Sure enough, not long after Hongye stepped into the hidden space in front of her, ten more giant cyan summoning magic arrays suddenly appeared along with a burst of strong energy fluctuations.
This time, Hong Ye was already ready for battle.
She flashed forward and went straight to the nearest summoning circle.
Because Hong Ye's speed was extremely astonishing, the golem puppet in the summoning circle at this time had not even condensed into shape, and only a rough outline of a giant could be seen.
Hong Ye, on the other hand, swung a flaming claw without hesitation, smashing the cyan summoning circle to pieces and strangling the magic puppet in its cradle.
"As expected of a fifth-level powerhouse, this thunder method is extremely powerful."
Seeing this wonderful scene, City Lord Al, Gale, and old magician Calvin and others outside the door once again showed expressions of awe.
Being able to see the battle of the fifth-level experts is an ultimate visual enjoyment for them!
Tina, Tia, Ryan and others who were following Lei Xiao all looked at Lei Xiao with increasing respect.
Even such a powerful man with monstrous strength can be taken under his command. Mr. Chensha is indeed a real big shot!
As for the other elite soldiers, they were already stunned.
While everyone was shocked, Hong Ye had already nipped the giant golem puppets in their bud at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
As for the few that were condensed and formed, they were naturally doomed. Under Hongye's extremely sharp claws, they quickly turned into bursts of dust until they completely disappeared.
"My lord, the mission is accomplished."
In the blink of an eye, the spotless red night had returned to Lei Xiao and bowed to report.
It was only then that everyone present realized that the battle had come to an end...
“Excellent job.”
Lei Xiao smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction to Hong Ye.
From the battle just now, it can be seen that Hong Ye obviously has more agile skills and explosive power than the powerful fifth-level expert Tiger Stick.
Coupled with the extremely powerful magic ability, he is undoubtedly a comprehensively developed average powerhouse.
Signaling Hongye to rejoin the team, Lei Xiao smiled at Orr beside him and said, "Your Excellency, City Lord, I can start the next step."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you the order right now."
Orr quickly gathered several other third-order commanders who were on standby and began to make arrangements.
Not long after, the mighty exploration team started moving forward again, heading straight towards the door.
And Lei Xiao's own position has naturally changed from the previously insignificant middle position to the front command position.
Under the illumination of the search magic of a team of magicians in the front row, Lei Xiao noticed as he stepped into the secret door.
Compared with the vast temple hall just now, although the height of this new space has not changed, the area is much smaller. You can even vaguely see the reliefs engraved on the left and right walls.
Moreover, in the middle part of the new space, there are no two rows of giant stone pillars, making it look empty.
After understanding the surrounding environment, Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and focused his gaze on the front of the unfamiliar space.
Even under the night vision effect of Star Eyes, there is still darkness in the distance. I don't know what is there, and it looks mysterious and strange.
"Just keep going."
Lei Xiao nodded to Al on the side and took his own steps again. (End of chapter)
