Chapter 938 The lonely lord and the frustrated head of the family
In the temple of an unknown race that was filled with dust and ancient smells, Lei Xiao slowed down and his dark eyes moved cautiously in the darkness.
Just now, Lei Xiao suddenly noticed.
His surroundings were extremely strange. The breathing, footsteps, and even heartbeats of his subordinates had ceased to exist at some point, as if time had been suddenly pulled away.
Everything was too quiet.
Thump, thump, thump.
In the huge ancient temple, only Lei Xiao's footsteps were still echoing, harsh and ethereal.
Facing this unknown gloomy environment and the sudden and strange development, even Lei Xiao, who had experienced the edge of life and death many times, couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end, and drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Although the subordinates are still surrounding him, he can't feel a trace of life. It seems that the only ones surrounding him are a group of zombie-like puppets, dull and mechanical.
The brightness of the guiding light ball gradually weakened, unable to dispel the abyss-like darkness around it.
To be more precise, the boundless cold darkness was slowly surrounding Lei Xiao, and it seemed that it might swallow Lei Xiao at any time.
With panic in his heart, Lei Xiao slowly turned his head and met Ariel's blank, starry eyes. The stiff expression on her fair face was no different from that of a hanging puppet.
"Are these subordinates controlled by some kind of magic, or are these "subordinates" simply a group of illusions? ”
Before Lei Xiao could figure out what was going on, "Huzhang" and "Hongye" who were exploring the path at the front had both turned around, started shaking the weapons in their hands, and slowly approached Lei Xiao.
"Ariel" beside Lei Xiao, and "Jiang Li" and "Lian" behind him also made the same movements.
In the blink of an eye, five murderous and dull figures staggered around Lei Xiao in the middle.
In this process, with the blessing of various potions to increase perception, [Blessed Golden Eyes], and the power of divine favor, Lei Xiao finally saw some clues.
Although the momentum and smell of these five puppet-like figures are the same as those of real subordinates, their appearance is sometimes vague and ethereal.
By now, the situation has become very obvious.
"Is it really an illusion?"
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, his expression became more serious.
Just now, Lei Xiao had noticed.
The only clues that appeared around him were the subordinates surrounding him, but not this unknown temple.
It is this situation that is both true and false that is the source of the weirdness just now.
This situation where the surrounding scenes are real but only the subordinates around them are fake is undoubtedly the first time I have encountered it.
"Ariel and others have always been by my side. When did they get switched?"
Facing the illusion that could attack at any time, a light gray short-distance teleportation scroll appeared in Lei Xiao's palm.
Although this kind of teleportation scroll is extremely rare, Lei Xiao already has a lot of it after winning several large-scale battles in the past, and he also learned to use it perfectly with the help of Jiang Li.
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao directly activated the teleportation scroll and instantly turned into a phantom, breaking away from the circle surrounded by the phantoms.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that he had not gone deep into this unknown temple yet. As long as he returned to the dwarf upside-down temple just now, he might be able to rejoin his real subordinates.
As for the current crisis situation, although it is extremely dangerous, for Lei Xiao, who has been on the line between life and death many times, once he understands his situation, it will not be so frightening.
After all, Lei Xiao, who had just upgraded his loot, had extremely strong cards. The number of fifth-level scrolls on his body was comparable to that of a genuine fifth-level expert.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao had already appeared hundreds of meters away, which was the intersection of the unknown temple and the dwarf temple.
However, when Lei Xiao reappeared, he discovered something unexpected.
That is, the road that originally connected to the dwarf temple has completely disappeared, and the strangely tilted goddess statue has returned to its normal upright state.
At this point, Lei Xiao realized it belatedly.
Unknowingly, even the road that was originally inclined at 45 degrees has become flat again, just like the skewed space suddenly returned to its original state, but I didn't know it.
"The escape route has been blocked?"
Feeling astonished, Lei Xiao tried to use Nianyu, but was unable to contact any of his subordinates.
"So, am I trapped here alone? It turns out that it is not time that is separated, but myself."
Lei Xiao clenched Rolandel in his hand, his expression became more serious.
The open space suddenly became closed, and even the sloping terrain changed. This was obviously not something that could be achieved with some kind of mechanism.
In other words, it was very possible that he had entered a well-designed barrier area unknowingly.
"Haha, stupid and despicable guest, it seems that you finally understand your situation."
Han Shui's contemptuous voice sounded, and he joked: "Just as you thought, you are indeed the only living person in this small enchantment space."
"Of course, there are also illusions whose strength is no different from yours."
As soon as Han Shui finished speaking, those murderous phantoms reappeared out of thin air, surrounding Lei Xiao.
"But it's a pity that you will become dead soon."
Han Shui suddenly began to laugh wildly and said solemnly: "As an insignificant and despicable alien, the reason why you can become famous is just relying on the strength of the strong men under your command."
"And now that you are alone, my family leader wants to take a closer look at how you are going to escape this time! Go to hell for me, my family leader!"
After Han Shui finished speaking, murderous intent suddenly filled the empty and dark hall.
"Huzhang" and "Hongye" both moved, holding swords and claws respectively, and attacked Lei Xiao one after another!
Two sharp black shadows flashed past under the beautiful pure white goddess statue, and the sharp blades carried by the strong wind arrived in front of Lei Xiao.
"Although my strength is limited, I won't fall into your hands."
Facing the buzzing blade, Lei Xiao snorted coldly, activated a new teleportation scroll and escaped, causing two sharp attacks to fail, leaving a staggered "X" on the empty ground. Deep pit.
"Slippery insect, let me see how many times you can run away!"
Along with Han Shui's sinister voice sounded.
The speed of the phantoms' pursuit is getting faster and faster.
Almost the moment Lei Xiao appeared, a sharp slash was already coming towards his head and face.
"Gracilaria" and "Ariel" both used spells to attack.
Although these two powerful magic illusions cannot simulate the moves of real people, they can only release the most basic magic missiles one after another.
But the magic bullet, which was like a cannon, was still extremely powerful, especially Gracilaria, which easily left deep, smoking craters one after another on the ground.
During the turbulent storm, although Lei Xiao faced only the most basic attack moves, the vast momentum exuded by the three fifth-level phantoms still made the dark temple become violent, and murderous intent was everywhere.
However, with the blessing of the divine power and many magic potions, the reaction speed of Lei Xiao, who is at the fourth level of strength, has been significantly ahead of the ordinary fourth level strong men.
Those fifth-level phantoms had no energy, but they could not fully exert it. Coupled with the help of the teleportation scroll, Lei Xiao would not have no chance to dodge.
While dodging the attack, Lei Xiao further noticed.
Although "Rei" also participated, its offensive ability was almost negligible, and it simply couldn't even reach the first level of strength.
It is not difficult to see from this that the illusion cannot simulate Rei's strength at all. After all, Rei is a battle doll created by God, which is completely different from ordinary races.
Even though there were only four phantoms attacking, Lei Xiao, who was disappearing and appearing, was soon sweating profusely, and there were many abandoned scrolls scattered on the ground around him.
"Facing the phantom pursuits of three fifth-level powerhouses, it's really too much to bear, even with extremely dull basic moves."
Lei Xiao panted heavily, and soon left behind another abandoned teleportation scroll, which disappeared in an instant.
As a magical technique that can travel between the real space and the void space, even though it only activates the magic scroll and does not require the consumption of one's own magic power, it still caused a considerable physical burden on Lei Xiao after being used in large quantities in a short period of time. .
"Haha, are you running out of skills so quickly? I really let the head of the family down."
Sensing the panting Lei Xiao, there was another touch of disdain in Han Shui's arrogant voice, and Sensen laughed.
"In the final analysis, he is just a waste from another world who overestimates his capabilities. Let's tear him apart!"
As Han Shui's words boiling with murderous intent fell, the four tireless phantoms launched another fierce attack, overwhelmingly attacking Lei Xiao.
But this time, Lei Xiao, whose movements became slower and slower, had no time to activate the teleportation scroll in his hand, and could only watch as the fatal move, like the god of death wielding a scythe, got closer and closer to him.
"Hahaha, despicable alien, you will definitely die this time!"
Seeing this, Han Shui's laughter became even more wild, echoing wantonly in the empty and dark temple.
Accompanying Han Shui's wild laughter came the killing moves of the phantoms that were just around the corner.
Just like what Han Shui said, facing the combined attack of the three fifth-level phantoms, even with Lei Xiao's trump card, he was already helpless!
However, just when Han Shui was getting carried away, thinking that the situation was settled and acting unscrupulously, his arrogant laughter suddenly stopped like a drake whose neck was clamped.
In the dark and turbulent temple, the scene has completely reversed.
The three fifth-order phantoms and other phantoms that were originally so powerful suddenly disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared.
Only Lei Xiao, who was about to be swallowed by the fatal attack, still stood there with an indifferent expression.
"What on earth is going on? Even if faced with a genuine fifth-level powerhouse, the illusion cannot be defeated so easily!"
After a moment of silence, Han Shui's disbelieving and frustrated voice rang out: "Despicable alien, what on earth have you done?!"
"It seems that I am not as overconfident as you said."
Lei Xiao did not answer Han Shui's question, but smiled faintly and said: "And you, the majestic head of the Shanglu family, can't even defeat an alien from the world you call insignificant. It's really laughable."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, a palm-sized female elf slowly appeared on Lei Xiao's shoulders, sitting leisurely, gently waving her slender legs.
At this point, the answer is self-evident.
It was under the protection of Xiao Huan that Lei Xiao successfully resolved all the fatal illusions.
Not long ago, when Lei Xiao was alone, he realized that he was alone in this barrier area.
He immediately began to confirm whether Xiao Huan, who had been carrying the trump card on his body and maintained the form of the [God's Stone], was still there.
Fortunately, Xiao Huan responded quickly, and as the illusion system [Stone of God], she was undoubtedly the best way to break the illusion.
However, because these illusions are extremely subtle and connected to each other, they are in a symbiotic state.
This means that only by dissolving all illusions in one go can this fatal crisis be completely resolved.
Therefore, Xiao Huan was not sure of erasing the phantom immediately, but needed a certain amount of time to crack it. This was how Lei Xiao continued to avoid phantom attacks.
"Don't worry, Lord Lord, the illusions will not recover for at least a short time, and there is no smell of other traps here. We are safe now."
Xiao Huan's palm-sized body moved inward, leaning on Lei Xiao's neck, patting his chest and asking for credit: "Hey, how are you going to reward your subordinate, Lord? Maybe I can become Princess Ariel again." , that’s double the happiness.”
"You are the only one with more Huahua intestines."
Lei Xiao curled his lips and immediately asked: "Can you feel the presence of Jiang Li and others?"
"Back to the lord, Nannizi Jiangli is trying her best to tear open the exit to here."
Xiao Huan shook his head and continued leisurely: "It seems that it won't be long before we can leave here."
"Hateful and despicable alien, I didn't expect you to have such an unknown creature hidden in your body!"
While Lei Xiao was talking to Xiao Huan, Han Shui's angry voice never stopped.
"Don't think this is the end. Now that your trump cards have been exposed, you will die even more miserably!"
"How can the Shangluc family's heritage of more than 600 years be compared to you, a despicable alien who just arrived?"
Ignoring Han Shui's words, Lei Xiao began to carefully look at this temple of an unknown race, and he began to become more and more curious.
There is a staggered scene in the real space, but everything is as usual in the barrier area. This unknown temple is really quite magical.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this in his mind, a slender figure flashed out along with a burst of energy fluctuations.
"Gracilaria, you came quite quickly."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the visitor, his face suddenly full of surprise.
Because the person in front of him is not his subordinate, but a completely unfamiliar white face. (End of chapter)
