Chapter 1652: Moving Forward and Surprise
Thump, thump, thump.
The cautious and light footsteps of a group of people were echoing in the ancient and long underground passage. It was not cramped at all, but rather extremely spacious, enough to accommodate a whole team of cavalrymen walking side by side.
Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by powerful men in the center of the team, was looking at the beautiful wall carvings engraved on the walls of the passages on both sides, while examining the current situation in his mind.
After passing through the secret door and spiraling down the underground stairs for a distance, the group entered this quaint underground passage.
Although this place is full of ancient atmosphere, it is clean and tidy, with almost no signs of dust, and it is obvious that it was cleaned not long ago.
Therefore, the possibility of disrepair can be almost ruled out, and there are obviously some signs that the defensive barriers have not been activated, as if the opponent deliberately lifted the defensive measures here.
"It seems that the reason why the secret door just now was not covered by any defensive measures is very likely that the opponent deliberately removed it. Could it be that there is really some kind of trap hidden ahead? Or, the opponent is confident that he can protect the core of the formation even without deploying any defensive measures?"
Lei Xiao frowned slightly, and a hint of confusion emerged in his heart.
Directly in front of Lei Xiao, the elven demigods such as Rorik and Zhen who were exploring the way were obviously aware of this. They did not dare to be careless and carefully observed everything around them.
I have to say, from the moment they were teleported to this market directly under the Brotherhood, a series of unexpected things happened. God knows what else is waiting for them ahead?
After all, the fact that the Shadow Market would be occupied by the possessed is extremely unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong."
Anna's clear voice rang beside Lei Xiao's ears, and she said solemnly, "Logically speaking, we are getting closer to the source of the energy resonance, and the resonance should be clearer, but it is still in a vague state, as if the source of the resonance is covered by some special existence."
After Anna said this, Jane, Rorik and other powerful elves all frowned tightly. The former was right, they had the same feeling, this kind of vague sense of resonance, they had never encountered before.
"Is it possible that it is blocked by something? Like there is a heavy door in front?"
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and asked Anna.
"Your Majesty, I cannot rule out this possibility, but from what I perceive, this feeling is not like a blockage, but a covering."
Anna frowned slightly and responded, "It's hard for me to explain this feeling, but it's very disturbing."
Hearing this, Zhen, Rorik and other powerful elves nodded again, looking very agreeable.
"I understand. Everyone, be alert and don't let your guard down."
Lei Xiao took a deep breath and reminded the powerful men.
As the group went deeper, it didn't take long before a very strange jumping sound began to be heard by everyone.
The beating sound was extremely regular, and was accompanied by a strange, sticky feeling, much like a huge clock turning regularly in rotten mud.
"What is this sound?"
After listening carefully for a moment, Rorik couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but it gives people a very disgusting feeling."
Zhen's eyebrows were twisted into a mess again, and her hands holding the double-edged swords turned white because she was holding too tightly, and veins on them were bulging, obviously she was in an extremely nervous state.
The strange jumping sound seemed to bring people an inexplicable fear, making them feel a chill down their spine.
In other parts of the team, both the strong men under Lei Xiao and the individual strong men felt the same thing. Many of them even had beads of sweat on their foreheads unconsciously, and their scalps felt numb.
At the core of the team, Lei Xiao also had a frown on his face, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
No matter what lies ahead, we are already very close to it.
Sure enough, as the strange jumping sound became more and more obvious, the group quickly flew out of the passage and came to another underground space.
At present, a group of people are standing on the platform at the entrance of the passage, looking down along the edge of the platform. The scene they see makes everyone's eyes widen instantly, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Below the platform was an extremely vast space, the entire space being wrapped in a thick, unknown substance that was a mixture of black and blood.
There is a faint dark energy flow inside this unidentified substance, emitting a strange dark light. The surface is exposed with blue veins and is covered with blood vessel-like tissues. It looks like a huge piece of flesh and blood.
No, to be more precise, it was as if the group had entered the body of some terrifying being.
"vomit!"
In addition to being extremely surprised, many strong men couldn't stop retching.
It was not until this moment that most of the strong men present realized that the entire space was filled with an extremely foul smell. Despite the obstruction of the energy barrier, it was still extremely pungent and made people feel dizzy.
"Holy morning dew light!"
It was not until several powerful light elves joined forces to perform a kind of enhancement-type holy light blessing that the powerful people felt a lot more relaxed.
"What on earth is this? How could something like this appear in the Shadow Market?"
Jane blurted out with disbelief on her fair face.
You know, the essence of the Shadow Market is a place favored by God, the most sacred place, so how could such a suffocating scene appear before our eyes?
"This is obviously not something from the God's Favored Land itself, but something that has covered this place. Or, it would be more appropriate to describe it as proliferation."
Lei Xiao's dark eyes were fixed on the thick unknown substance under the platform. He frowned and said, "It seems that the center of the formation we are looking for is under these things."
"No wonder I felt that the source of the resonance was covered by some existence. It turns out that these terrible things are causing trouble."
A hint of uneasiness emerged on Anna's fair face. It was obvious that she had never seen such a heinous scene before.
"Look at the angle between the wall and the ground."
Lei Xiao had obviously discovered something again, and spoke to everyone with a serious expression.
After Lei Xiao's reminder, all the strong men hurriedly looked towards the angle.
In these dark corners, there are many cocoon-like things densely arranged, like a huge honeycomb.
These cocoon-like things, each about the size of a helmet, were wriggling slightly in a regular pattern, looking neat and eerie.
This scene made everyone present stunned, and then they suddenly realized that these things were the source of the strange jumping sound just now!
“It was a nightmare scene.”
Zhen felt her scalp tingling, and asked Lei Xiao, "Your Majesty, what are these egg-like things?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Everyone, follow me and attack with all your strength. We must destroy these things as soon as possible!"
Lei Xiao has already realized something and has expanded the power shared with all the powerful people to the extreme.
The inexplicable fear, the stench, the size of the head, and the fact that the creatures were occupying this place, the answer was already very obvious.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
All the strong men gathered their minds, and the overwhelming offensive immediately swept towards the bottom of the platform like a landslide or tsunami.
Just as everyone launched the attack, those densely packed cocoons apparently realized something, and their originally steady leaping speed was like a turbine suddenly spinning at high speed, and they broke out of the cocoons in an instant.
The objects that emerged from the cocoon looked like a giant eyeball, and underneath were roots covered with mucus that had not yet faded. They were undoubtedly "erosions"!
The moment these "Eclipses" appeared, they went crazy and rushed towards the people on the platform in groups!
Fortunately, the crowd's offensive was extremely fierce, and in almost an instant, these densely packed "erosions" were wiped out.
"It's actually Eclipse!"
Before the astonished warriors could react, dense "Eclipses" rose up from both sides of the platform and pounced towards everyone!
Since the vision on the platform where the group was located was limited, these "eclipses" flew in from the blind spots.
For a moment, these sudden "eclipses" were like locusts, covering the sky and the earth, and the momentum was extremely shocking.
Not only that, the indescribable sense of fear came out of nowhere, making it difficult for many independent warriors who saw "Eclipse" for the first time to gain a firm foothold.
At this moment, the hearts of these independent warriors were stirred up with thousands of waves, and even their lips could not help trembling.
First they encountered those powerful parasites, and then they encountered so many legendary "eclipses". Tonight is undoubtedly the most unforgettable and most nightmarish day in their lives!
"Hold on. The enemy's numbers are limited after all. We are able to wipe them out completely."
It was not until Lei Xiao's steady voice was rang out that the scattered warriors gathered their spirits and launched an all-out attack again.
boom! boom! boom!
Accompanied by a series of deafening energy explosions, a large amount of "Erosion" was shattered, leaving only a pile of muddy and smelly slime that fell to the ground.
"Don't stop, keep attacking."
Lei Xiao commanded the strong men to go down the stairs at the edge of the platform and began to clean up the remaining "Eclipse".
Along the way, not only the "erosion", but also the dark substances and cocoons that covered the walls and resembled flesh and blood were all wiped out. Although everyone was making great progress with the sharing of Lei Xiao's power, this purgatory-like breeding scene was still shocking and made people sweat uncontrollably.
Everything quieted down only after everyone completely shattered the thickest dark substance in the underground space.
These dark substances, like the "erosion", turned into pools of foul-smelling mud after being destroyed, and soon evaporated completely and disappeared into the air.
"Your Majesty, is this a breeding base for Eclipse?"
After a while, Zhen calmed down and asked Lei Xiao.
"Yes, this is the only reasonable explanation, and it is also the fact we saw with our own eyes."
Lei Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave a positive answer.
Hearing this, everyone swallowed involuntarily.
The threat level of "Eclipse" is self-evident. Without the blessing of the stone elves' special power, or the sharing of power by the holder of the God's Stone, even these demigods and half-step seventh-level powerhouses would not be able to do anything about "Eclipse", let alone other low-level powerhouses and ordinary people.
Once you encounter "eclipse" in this situation, the only result is to be completely devoured by the "eclipse", or become a parasite, and have everything wiped out and occupied by the "eclipse".
When they thought of this in their hearts, a sense of fear surged in the hearts of the powerful men.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Human King is here, otherwise they would still be wiped out this time.
"No wonder the defenses here seem to have been deliberately removed. If an ordinary guest had mistakenly entered here, the result would have been obvious. This place can indeed be called the most terrifying trap."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, don't Eclipses appear in the world through the explosion of magical ley lines? How can they reproduce here? It's simply horrifying."
Rorik's handsome face was full of anxiety and solemnity, and he couldn't help but look at Lei Xiao.
It is conceivable that if the other party secretly established such breeding bases in various places, the catastrophe would come ahead of time without waiting for the collapse of the Demon Barrier.
"Don't worry, such a place may not be built in every place."
Lei Xiao immediately understood what Luo Like was thinking and responded, "Otherwise, the other party would not have built it here, which is the center of the formation."
"Your Majesty, you mean that there are limitations to the other party's establishment of a breeding base, such as requiring extremely special energy in the God's Land, or having to meet some other conditions?"
Zhen was obviously very interested in this question and asked Lei Xiao.
This is not surprising. No matter for the light elves or the dark elves, the "Eclipse" is a terrible enemy. They all know that the "Eclipse" is the root cause of the Cataclysm, so they will naturally not let down their guard.
"Yes, it seems that the reason why the other party occupied this divinely favored place is not only to attack the guests, but also for other purposes like this."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes also full of solemnity.
You know, even when I was in Observation City, I had never heard that "Eclipse" would establish a breeding base on the ground.
But if you think about it carefully, there is no magic barrier on that piece of land after all, so "Eclipse" doesn't need to go through so much trouble, he can just come up directly.
"Well, now is not the time to think about these things. We must complete the predetermined goal as soon as possible."
Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and frowned as he said to everyone, "The time left for us is getting shorter and shorter."
