Chapter 448 Before the Abandoned Mine
When the three figures stood still one after another, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked.
The visitors were three other men in black robes wearing strange white masks, namely No. 23, No. 135 and No. 203.
These numbers are naturally not unfamiliar to Lei Xiao. They have also appeared before in Phantom Mirage.
Judging from their slender bodies, No. 23 and No. 135 are obviously women.
"It is not difficult to tell from the conversation just now that these are all the personnel of the mysterious organization's exploration operation."
I saw Lei Xiao's eyes moving, scanning back and forth on the black-robed men while thinking to himself.
"There are 13 people in total, including two fifth-level experts, whose strength is five-level two-star and fifth-level one-star respectively."
Looking at the two figures exuding monstrous momentum, Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn.
"There are three fourth-level powerhouses. If I remember correctly, Polygonum cuspidatum has reported that they are No. 23, fourth-level eight-star, No. 40, fourth-level four-star, and No. 51, fourth-level three-star."
Lei Xiao's eyes rested on the other men in black robes who were slightly weaker.
"As for the others, they are all at the peak of the third level. Only No. 203, who is ranked lower, is a third-level seven-star."
After taking stock of the opponent's strength in his mind, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
From a clear point of view, the opponent's overall strength is almost as good as his own.
However, since Ye Cang Chaoyan and other five subordinates are not present at the scene, the opponent's strength will obviously have an overwhelming advantage.
"If you continue to keep Ye Cang and the five people here, they will most likely be noticed by the other party. In order to operate covertly, there is no other way."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows without showing any trace of panic.
"I also have 18 level three peak ice knights, 24 earth guardians at the level of third level senior experts, and 2 sky guardians who are also at the level of third level senior experts."
"These golem puppets are enough to close this gap. Even if there is a head-on conflict, I will not be at a disadvantage."
Lei Xiao felt a little relieved and nodded thoughtfully.
"Since these strong men of the mysterious organization are willing to take the lead, then according to what I just thought, they will naturally follow the opponent and wait for the opportunity."
"After all, there is a fifth-level magic forbidden seal just outside the mysterious Immortal Door. From this, it is not difficult to see that the possibility of a high-level guardian appearing inside the door is almost certain."
After thinking about the next plan of action, a hint of curiosity appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
"I don't know what the mysterious Immortal Door looks like and what kind of scene is hidden in the dust. It's really exciting."
Lei Xiao thought this while continuing to pay attention to the developments ahead.
The man in black robe No. 23 had just stood still, and he quickly took the other two men in black robes and took a step forward, bowed and saluted: "I have met Master Seventh Shura, I have met Master Ninth Shura!"
< br>
"23, you have such a big air."
The stooped man in black robe No. 9 flicked his sleeves and snorted disdainfully: "You actually asked the two Shura men in the organization to wait for such a long time. Once the entire mission is delayed, do you think you can shoulder this responsibility? ”
"Two Lord Shura atone for their sins!"
Seeing that the man in black robe No. 9 was looking to attack the enemy, the man in black robe No. 23 quickly knelt down and said: "My subordinates just noticed that there seemed to be something abnormal in Gelin City, so there was a delay. It was not intentional. ”
"Oh?"
The violent aura radiating from the body of the man in black robe No. 9 suddenly became a little stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "So, you are not wrong, and it is me who is wrong?"
"Senior, please be patient."
I saw the man in black robe No. 7 on the side waved his hand, stepped forward and said coldly: "No. 23, tell me what happened. If there are really extenuating circumstances, I and I will not talk to you. General knowledge, otherwise, don’t blame me for turning your back on others.”
"Thank you, Lord Shura!"
The man in black robe No. 23 still maintained his kneeling posture and said tremblingly: "Just now, my subordinates accidentally discovered that there seemed to be the aura of an unknown powerful person in Gelin City. Because of the investigation, it was delayed a little. Time.”
"On the 23rd, are you saying that there is a risk of being discovered by unknown forces as I wait for this operation?"
The voice of the man in black robe No. 7 first revealed a hint of killing intent, and then said hesitantly: "When I came here from the plain just now, I didn't notice any suspicious aura."
"Back to Lord Seventh Shura, the topography of Gelin City is extremely complex. Due to the barrier between the mountains and the city, it is not conducive to detection. This is also reasonable."
The man in black robe No. 23 did not dare to raise his head, and explained on his knees: "In terms of perception alone, even if the strength is the same, compared to the strong people outside the mountain, the strong one in the mountain has a much greater advantage."< br>
"Stop talking about these childish things, since neither of us noticed it, what exactly did you notice?"
The man in black robe No. 9 flipped his sleeves impatiently and asked in a deep voice.
"At that time, my subordinates and others had just come out of the room where the concealment magic circle was arranged. They noticed that there seemed to be some strange and abnormal energy fluctuations in the city."
No. 23 said this nervously, then shook his head helplessly and said: "However, these strange energies disappeared quickly, so it took some time to sense them, but in the end, nothing was found."
Directly opposite the cliff, Lei Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Those unknown fluctuations in the other party's mouth obviously refer to Ye Cang and the other five people.
However, all the powerful men under his command have the dual invisibility blessings of invisibility cloaks and invisibility rings.
Even if the opponent is slightly stronger, it is undoubtedly impossible to find traces of Ye Cang and others in a large and densely populated city like Gelin City.
"Hey, after all, it's still just a boring reason."
The man in black robe No. 9 looked up and down with great interest at the slender figure of the man in black robe No. 23, and said in a deep voice: "23, as a relatively high-ranking person in the organization, you You should know better than anyone that no one can reveal the organization’s secrets except the dead.”
"This means that this operation we are waiting for will never be discovered by other forces. There is no need for you to worry."
The voice of the man in black robe No. 9 became a little colder again, and he continued: "So, how do you plan to make up for your mistake?"
After finishing speaking, the eyes of the man in black robe No. 9 finally fell on the chest of man in black robe No. 23, and a playful smile slowly emerged behind the mask.
The man in black robe No. 23 was still trembling all over and did not dare to make the slightest sound.
"Senior, the current mission is very important. As for other things, let's wait until the mission is over."
The low and hoarse voice of the man in black robe No. 7 came over again: "After all, in order to fully prepare for this operation, the organization has temporarily slowed down matters in Fanyin City, and the senior has also come all the way from afar, and has not yet properly prepared. Rested.”
After a pause, the man in black robe No. 7 added: "As for No. 23, let's let him plead guilty for the time being. If it is later confirmed that the other party is really making excuses, it will not be too late to deal with it."
"That's all, since Lord Seventh Shura has spoken, I will spare you for now."
The man in black robe No. 9 slowly withdrew his gaze, and said leisurely to the man in black robe No. 7: "Don't worry, with the help of this great mage who is good at breaking magic barriers, everything will naturally be solved. .”
"Senior will be in trouble soon."
The man in black robe No. 7 nodded, and immediately turned to No. 23. He raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and asked coldly: "One more thing, I remember that there should be a new member in your team who has just joined. Member, why didn’t he show up this time?”
"Back to Lord Seventh Shura, No. 235 did not go to the agreed place as planned, and has been out of contact for some time."
The black-robed man No. 23 who had just stood up quickly bowed and reported: "Originally, my subordinates sent No. 235 to Gelin City to investigate, but the result was that there was no news. In addition, this person had just passed the assessment period. Soon, the Stone of Life has not yet been bound, and it is impossible to determine life, death and positioning.”
No. 23 shook his head helplessly and continued: "From this, my subordinates plan to report to Lord Shura after this exploration operation is over. However, since No. 235 has also been missing for a period of time before, so, The subordinates speculated that he must have been delayed. ”
"Then let's ignore this insignificant guy for now."
The man in black robe No. 7 nodded thoughtfully and ordered: "We must investigate carefully when we turn back. If this person is absent without reason, he must be severely punished."
Not far away, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
The number 235 mentioned by these two people was naturally Mu Tong whom he killed in front of the Immortal Gate.
"It turns out that the powerful men of these mysterious organizations will also bind an item called the Stone of Life to judge life and death and find their whereabouts. This is a brand new discovery."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued to watch intently.
I saw the slightly stooped man in black No. 9, taking his own steps and continuing: "Okay, it's getting late, should I start taking action now?"
"Two Lord Shura, the entrance is behind here."
Man in black robe No. 23 hurriedly stepped forward and pointed to the abandoned mine entrance covered by rocks in front of him.
"I have already sensed it."
The pace of the man in black robe No. 9 did not slow down, but came directly to the entrance.
Standing in front of the entrance, the man in black robe No. 9 waved his hand, and a black ball with a diameter of about two meters condensed in mid-air and flew towards the rocks at the entrance.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a burst of black smoke coming out.
The rocks that came into contact with the black ball began to dissolve rapidly, leaving only a smelly black liquid that spread wantonly in the soil.
After a short time, all the rocks blocking the entrance were completely dissolved, and the entrance to the abandoned mine was completely opened.
"Okay, let's start exploring. I can't wait."
After removing the giant black ball, the man in black robe No. 9 "Jie Jie" smiled, then casually pointed at No. 135 and No. 203 who came with No. 23 and said: "As for you two, just stay here and watch. Door bar.”
"Get the order!"
No. 135 and No. 203 quickly bowed and saluted, saying in unison.
The man in black robe No. 9 nodded slightly and took his steps again.
"Senior, don't you need to set up a warning barrier at the entrance to prevent someone from sneaking in secretly?"
Although he couldn't see the expression of the man in black robe No. 7, he could feel that his tone was obviously hesitant.
"Sir Seventh Shura, what happened at the last auction in Fanyin City may have made you a little too sensitive. As I just said, the details of our actions will never be leaked."< br>
The man in black robe No. 9 did not slow down, and said leisurely: "Furthermore, even if the fifth-level powerhouse with unknown origin is really found by the Leng Yan royal family, what can it do?"
"As long as the two people from the royal capital don't come out at the same time, there will naturally be no problem. Apart from that, where else in this land can there be a force that can compete with you and me?"
The man in black robe No. 9 laughed contemptuously, waved his hand, and continued: "By the time the warning barrier is set up, I'm afraid you and I have already entered the gate of immortality. Don't forget that time is precious, I I’m still waiting to taste the little desserts from another world, Jie Jie.”
"That's right, so be it."
The man in black robe No. 7 did not say anything else, but made a forward gesture towards the other strong men of the mysterious organization, and also entered the entrance of the abandoned mine.
After a while, only No. 135 and No. 203 were left at the entrance of the cave. Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned again,
"No wonder the members of these mysterious organizations did not attack the Titan ruins yesterday. As I expected, they were planning and preparing for another action."
"And this other operation is the current Gate of Immortality! It seems that they are well prepared this time."
Lei Xiao rubbed his chin while continuing to ponder.
"In addition, judging from the number and strength of the man in black robe No. 9, there are not 7 fifth-level strong men in the mysterious organization, but at least 9."
"It can be seen from this that the opponent's strength is obviously stronger than what I initially guessed."
A look of awe suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and his brows began to frown even more.
"Since I have seized such a good opportunity this time, I must seize this opportunity and while seizing the treasure, I must reduce the opponent's combat power as much as possible."
"Especially that wretched black-robed man No. 9. Even if he is a fifth-level powerhouse, he is just a squishy mage in the final analysis. In addition, this guy is quite conceited, but he has provided me with a lot of information for my next actions. Less convenient.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows slowly relaxed and he murmured in his heart: "From the conversation between the two, it can also be heard that the man in black robe No. 9 obviously came from afar."
"It seems that there are currently no other fifth-level powerful magicians in the Cold Flame Kingdom."
"As for the fifth-level expert in the physics department, apart from the man in black robe No. 7, it is currently unknown whether there are others."
"Now that I have a clear understanding of the current situation, let me follow in the footsteps of these powerful men of the mysterious organization and see what the inside of the Immortal Gate is like."
Lei Xiao's eyes began to become profound, and he thought to himself. (End of chapter)
