Chapter 594 Weird rustling sound
It was a weird rustling sound, mixed with the sound of gravel rubbing together, and the sound of water droplets splashing... No matter what kind of sound it was, it was obviously deliberately suppressed, and it sounded extremely eccentric.
Noticing the sudden unusual sound, Lei Xiao and his subordinates, who were traveling, looked stern and stopped one after another.
It has to be said that in this empty and spacious unfamiliar cave passage, this sudden subtle sound is particularly eye-catching.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao waved his hand.
The group of people with solemn expressions began to slowly move to the right side of the passage and quietly stood near the edge of the cave wall.
When they were moving forward before, the group of people was walking on the right side of this huge underground passage.
Although the group of people are all wearing invisibility cloaks and can be perfectly hidden visually, there is still a risk of being discovered by their opponents.
In this way, once a large army of goblins passes by, they can quickly avoid the side of the cave wall without directly colliding with the other party's soldiers.
After all, the purpose of Lei Xiao's trip was not to completely eliminate this unknown number of goblin tribes and create powerful enemies for himself.
Instead, he was looking for Benson's traces. After all, it was much more convenient to act in the dark than in the open.
Needless to say, as long as Benson is conquered, he is equivalent to controlling tens of thousands of garrison troops in a legion of Luolong City. This is equivalent to the combat power of a fifth-level strong man!
What's more, Luolong City is also crucial to the faction that backstabs the Second Prince, so naturally there can't be any mistakes.
"When we were at the City Lord's Mansion just now, even though the deputy general who received him tried hard to make everything look normal, when Benson was mentioned, the worry on his face was still palpable."
Nodding slightly thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "This place is not very far from Luolong City. If we are just doing reconnaissance, it is indeed unusual to have not returned for three days."
"It can be seen from this that the "Skull Crushing Crazy Man" may have encountered some kind of unexpected event. ”
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality.
In addition to finding Benson, he now faces another thorny problem: the sudden weird sound.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by his subordinates, took further notice.
Except for the ethereal dripping sound of water flowing down from time to time on the cave wall close behind him.
The sudden rustling sound began to become more obvious and clear.
This means that the source of the sound is slowly approaching our group.
However, in a rather dark environment, even with the night vision effect of "Star Eyes", Lei Xiao's front was still empty.
This undoubtedly shows that the other party, like ourselves, is also in an invisible state.
Realizing this, the subordinates around Lei Xiao couldn't help but start looking at each other.
This sudden situation has obviously never been encountered before.
At the same time, a big question mark couldn't help but pop up in the minds of everyone present: "What exactly is making the sound?"
"I have to say that in this already weird environment, there are weird sounds with no visible source. It really adds fuel to the fire and makes people's hair stand on end."
In the dark tunnel passage, Lei Xiao looked at the dark green crystals inlaid on the cave wall, emitting little green light, and couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
Next, Lei Xiao shook his head gently to throw these negative emotions out of his mind, and his face became solemn again.
He first raised his index finger and put it in front of his lips to signal his followers to wait and see.
Then, his eyes jumped, and he first looked at each other with Huzhang and Hongye.
From the somewhat solemn eyes of the two, Lei Xiao got a response, that is, in terms of energy fluctuations and aura, the two of them obviously did not detect any clues.
Or in other words, the source of the invisible strange sound did not emit any energy fluctuations.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao looked at Bai Wei again, who lowered her eyebrows and shook her head helplessly.
That means, smell-wise, there's nothing to gain either.
Finally, Lei Xiao lowered his head slightly and cast his gaze on the small and exquisite Nanxing and Nanyue sisters.
The twin sisters understood and pointed at their insteps with their slender fingers.
By now, the answer is pretty obvious.
The sudden rustling sound seemed to be the sound of footsteps.
"Footsteps? Is the other party also wearing rare illusion equipment similar to an invisibility cloak?"
Just when Lei Xiao was confused, the rustling, suspicious footsteps were already very close to him.
At this time, Lei Xiao signaled his subordinates to be ready for battle at any time, while he held his breath and listened carefully with his ears raised.
Judging from the slightly chaotic sound, the invisible opponent is not a person, nor can it be a multi-legged monster. The number of people is obviously plural.
The sound of gravel rubbing against the ground is made when the soles of your feet or shoes come into contact with the ground.
The sound of water splashing was caused by the small puddles formed by the feet stepping on the water droplets dripping from the wall.
"I see, is it really the sound of footsteps?"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Immediately, an uncontrollable doubt surged onto Lei Xiao's cheeks again.
"If that's the case, then why aren't there any energy fluctuations, breaths, or smells coming out? Could it be that it's some kind of special magical beast that's good at hiding its whereabouts? Or, could it be that the other party's strength is higher than that of Polygonum Weed and Red Night?!"< br>
"However, even if the energy fluctuations are insensible, how can there be no flaw in the smell? You know, in terms of smell alone, the sparse Snow Wolf tribe is extremely famous even on the entire continent. .”
Thinking of this, the doubtful look on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious.
At the same time, Lei Xiao further noticed.
The source of the footsteps of the other party and others is directly opposite to our own, located on the left side of the tunnel passage.
Moreover, judging from the other party's chaotic but regular steps, it was obvious that he had not noticed his own presence.
In addition, because the ground inside the cave is hard and very similar to cement, it is impossible to tell the clues from the footprints.
This, to a certain extent, hid Lei Xiao and his group, and naturally also hid the other party.
"What is the origin of the other party? If the opponent's strength is really higher than that of Huzhang and Hongye, he must be able to see the flaw in his invisibility cloak."
"Thus, since the opponent did not see any of his own flaws, which means that the opponent's strength has not reached the fifth level, then why are Tiger Sticks and Hongye unable to sense the opponent's energy fluctuations? This is simply unbelievable. ”
While Lei Xiao was thinking, the rustling footsteps gradually moved away from the group of people, until they completely disappeared in the distance of the passage from which they came.
"That's all. Now that the other party has left, let's move on. Benson's whereabouts are currently unknown. We'd better find this guy first."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately contacted A Ling and A Bing who were guarding outside the cave through a message, reminding them to be more vigilant.
Of course, in this case, Lei Xiao did not directly remind him.
Instead, after being connected and talking for a while, he hung up on his own initiative. This was the way Lei Xiao had agreed with his subordinates to remind the other party when it was inconvenient to make a sound.
After everything was completed, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates and made a gesture to continue moving forward.
However, after the group of people walked for a while.
Something unexpected happened again.
The rustling footsteps that had completely disappeared behind the group of people actually came from the front again. (End of chapter)
