Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 1511: Trap in the Trap

At the moment when Lei Xiao flew out to rescue Jasmine, the two Half-Step Seventh-Level Devourers who were madly besieging Jasmine, although they did not see the battle situation here, both of them had hatred and grimness on their faces, and chose to escape directly.

With the blessing of "Guixuzhe", even if they focus on the present, they can still understand the battle situation at the first time. Since Lei Xiao and Xuan Ji have arrived, they obviously have no advantage, especially when Lei Xiao's speed is enough to match theirs.

In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao was already standing in front of the breathless Jasmine.

"Human boy, if you had come a little later, you would only see my fragments."

Seeing Lei Xiao's tall figure emitting a majestic aura standing in front of her, Jasmine felt relieved and couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "When will you return the carpet and barrier crystal you promised me? I miss the tranquility of the forest in my hometown so much!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Lei Xiao held the sword in his hand horizontally, pulled Jasmine and rejoined the battle.

After joining the battle, Lei Xiao noticed further.

As the fake "Chris" and "Fanny" escaped, the other sixth-level parasites who were still able to move also chose to follow them, and had already left the battlefield one after another. Only the huge number of fifth-level and lower-level parasites were still like mud, dragging down our progress.

At the same time, Nan Xing and Nan Yue's anxious voices both rang out: "Lord, the enemy has cooperated from both inside and outside to destroy part of the [Erosion Extinction Array]!"

Soon after, Sarah and Ye Cang's urgent voices were heard one after another, conveying the same message that the Extinction Array, including the center of the array, had been completely destroyed by the opponent.

"It's okay, as long as you are okay, wait for me at the designated meeting point."

After confirming the safety of several subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

The destruction of the Extinction Array was something he had expected. Even though he had equipped Nanxing Nanyue and others who were responsible for activating the array with the most advanced concealment methods in order to hide the array's center, the other three fulcrums, and themselves to the greatest extent possible, this was the enemy's territory after all, and it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

"But I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Fortunately, we have wiped out the enemy's two half-step seventh-level combat forces, allowing us to regain a certain degree of initiative."

After losing the suppression of the Extinction Array, Lei Xiao looked at the remaining parasites below level five who began to flee in all directions. He did not let the strong men under his command continue to pursue them, but instead had them move closer to him and reorganize the formation.

After a quick look, Lei Xiao noticed.

Although the suppression of the Extinction Array was extremely good and weakened the opponent's power to the greatest extent, and the divine stone weapons and the power of the stars also played a huge role, but facing the huge number of enemies, our losses were still not small.

The alchemical puppets controlled by Broy and other dwarfs were almost all damaged, and many other strong men were covered with scars, but they had all been properly treated with the help of high-level potions and magic scrolls, and had no problem maintaining their own movement.

While Lei Xiao was checking, many of his subordinates and strong men were still in fear. Fortunately, the lord had distributed many life-saving cards, which allowed them to escape the opponent's fatal attacks time and time again. Otherwise, many of them would have died on the spot.

"Human boy, these guys are already frightened birds. Even without the suppression of the extinction formation, we are strong enough to contend with them. Do you want to give chase?"

Jasmine was obviously the type who forgot the pain once the wound healed, and said eagerly: "This time I'm going to let them have a good taste of my power!"

"No, Guanwang City is probably in imminent danger. Even if we wipe out all the parasites here, it will not be of any substantial help to Guanwang City. The most urgent task is to rush back as soon as possible."

Lei Xiao nodded to Jasmine without hesitation.

While speaking, Lei Xiao also specially activated an extinction array scroll and unfolded a small magic array separately, completely covering our gathered strong men.

According to Old Booker's introduction, the Extinction Array not only has the function of suppressing "Eclipse", but can also detect "Eclipse" hidden in the dark. Even if those shapeshifters can disguise themselves perfectly, they are still "Eclipse" in essence and will undoubtedly be affected. In this way, it can prevent enemies from sneaking in during the chaos.

"Your Excellency is right. The reason why the enemy fled from all directions just now must be to attract our pursuit. The longer we delay here, the more dangerous Guanwang City will be!"

Hanershu nodded heavily and agreed.

"Immediately head to the teleportation array in the center of the fortress. After being severely damaged, the enemy's defense will definitely not be as strict as before."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, and everyone disappeared from the spot under Jasmine's teleportation.

Not long after, the group first met up with subordinates such as Nanxing Nanyue who were responsible for activating the Extinction Array, and then continued to rush towards the teleportation array in the center of the fortress.

Accompanied by a gust of wind, when Lei Xiao and his party arrived at the teleportation array area of ​​the training ground, they found that there were indeed only a small number of parasites guarding it, and it was not as heavily guarded as at the beginning.

Seeing the appearance of Lei Xiao and his group, the guarding creatures didn't even struggle, but slipped away and quickly disappeared into the depths of the fortress.

“It’s such a breeze!”

Seeing those parasites fleeing in a panic, Jasmine raised her fair face and was about to rush towards the teleportation array that was still running, but was pulled back by Lei Xiao.

"Human boy, what are you doing?"

Jasmine rubbed her slender arms and couldn't help pouting at Lei Xiao.

"There's something strange. The other party retreated too easily."

Lei Xiao frowned and waved his hand to signal other subordinates not to approach the teleportation array blindly.

The reason why the enemy trapped our group in this fortress and then conducted a comprehensive search was naturally to eliminate us and prevent us from returning to support Guanwang City.

Now, although the opponent has suffered heavy damage, they still have the strength to fight and can at least hold us back for a certain period of time.

Under such circumstances, the other party actually gave up this place directly, which is obviously not in line with common sense.

"Human boy, are you saying that there are traps set around the teleportation array?"

Although Jasmine was a little careless, she was not stupid and immediately understood what Lei Xiao was worried about.

"Your Majesty is right!"

I saw Gray Old Man flying out from the shadow of the parade ground and coming in front of the group of people.

Lei Xiao first activated an extinction array scroll to verify the identity of the person who came. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately asked: "Old sir, shouldn't you have returned to Guanwang City to report the news? Why are you still here?"

"Your Majesty, after receiving your order, I immediately came here to return to Guanwang City, but I happened to run into a group of city guard magicians who were laying magic traps, and there were even parasites mixed in. After that, after trying to sneak into the teleportation array several times without success, I had no choice but to hide, because the other party had completely blocked the entire teleportation array area, making it impossible for me to find your Majesty's trace."

Gray shook his head helplessly, knelt down on the ground with a face full of shame and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I am the old minister who disappoints you."

"What are you talking about, old sir? I didn't expect that the other party would actually take control of the entire fortress at the beginning, which put you in a dangerous situation."

Lei Xiao bent down and helped Hui Lao up, and the strong men under his command also began to deal with the magic traps around the teleportation array.

With the leadership of Jasmine and Xuanji, two half-step seventh-level warriors, we indeed discovered a large number of deeply hidden magic traps and began to clear them out quickly.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I have discovered something strange. Although the teleportation array has been operating normally, no reinforcements have entered here."

Gray Old Man looked solemn and spoke again.

"I've noticed this a long time ago, and it's extremely unusual."

Lei Xiao also looked solemn and nodded slightly.

I have to say that ever since I stepped into this fortress, I have been feeling an indescribable sense of disharmony, and I have also been troubled by a series of problems.

Until now, although many questions have been answered, there are still two that have never been solved.

The first is how "Eclipse" occupied this fortress quietly, and the second is what Gray Old Man just mentioned, that even though the teleportation array was intact, the reinforcements from Guanwang City have never appeared.

Even if Guanwang City was in danger, they should have sent someone to request reinforcements, or shut down the teleportation array, right? As long as one end of the teleportation array was shut down, the other end would naturally stop operating.

But it is still operating normally here, which is really puzzling.

"In any case, returning to Guanwang City is the most important thing now."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao refocused his attention on the surroundings of the teleportation array.

At this time, Jasmine, Xuanji and others had already cleared a path leading directly to the teleportation array, which was enough for our group to pass smoothly.

Just when Lei Xiao was taking the brunt of the charge and heading straight for the teleportation array, he was stopped by Jasmine this time.

"Human boy, don't worry, there is something wrong with this teleportation array!"

Jasmine tugged at Lei Xiao's collar and walked slowly forward.

When they got closer, Jasmine, who was holding a magic wand, waved her arm and quickly drew an extremely complex gray magic circle above the teleportation array, and a portal appeared in front of everyone.

This portal was extremely strange. It did not contain the familiar grey fluid, but was pitch black. It was like a terrifying mouth of the abyss, quietly waiting for everyone to step in.

"This is the materialization of the other end of this teleportation array. It actually directly connects to the depths of the void space. There is no exit from the real space at all."

Jasmine frowned and spoke.

"what?"

Hearing this, everyone on our side couldn't help but break out in cold sweat and began to look at each other in bewilderment.

This undoubtedly means that once we step into it blindly, we will undoubtedly be completely lost in the depths of the endless void, and death is inevitable.

"There's a trap inside a trap? It seems this is the real fatal point."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath and felt a chill down his spine. He had to admit that the other party was really cunning.

Feeling terrified, Lei Xiao immediately asked Jasmine, "Is there any way to reconnect to this teleportation array?"

"The damage was too thorough. Unless Guanwang City takes the initiative to repair it, it will take at least a day for me to reconnect it if I do it myself."

Jasmine shook her head and said helplessly, "No wonder there are no reinforcements coming. There is no way they can come."

"We are running out of time. We don't have a single day to waste here."

Lei Xiao did not hesitate at all and looked decisively towards the direction of the city wall.

As the enemy's posture weakened, the absolute confinement barrier was lifted just now. Since the teleportation array cannot be used, we can just rush to the Observation City.

In this extremely large underground space, although there is some distance between the two, as long as we move forward at full speed, it will only take minutes.

However, if you wait and see outside the city, you will definitely be surrounded by the "Eclipse" army, which is extremely dangerous. Therefore, compared to using the teleportation array, this is only a backup option for helpless moments.

But now is a helpless moment, so naturally I can't care about so many things.

"I see. Fortunately, I was smart enough to leave a space node near the fortress wall. Even if there is interference from the other party, I can still teleport there!"

Jasmine understood and waved her staff in the air, and the group disappeared instantly.

When the group reappeared, they indeed arrived near the city wall where they were before. After another flash, they appeared outside the fortress.

"let's go!"

Lei Xiao was the first to take the lead and led a group of people straight towards Guanwang City.

During the peaceful days of the past few days, Lei Xiao, under the guidance of Old Booker, quietly traveled back and forth between the underground fortress and Watch City via normal roads in order to prevent such unexpected situations from happening.

"Originally, neither I nor the old city lord took this matter too seriously, but I didn't expect it to be really used this time."

At lightning speed, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Guanwang City.

At this distance, you can see the towering walls of Guanwang City and the lights emanating from the city.

However, as far as the eye could see, it was completely dark.

"Strange, even if the lights in Guanwang City were turned off to defend the city, the magic cannons of the Eclipse army and the magical power of the siege parasites should have been visible, so why is it completely dark?"

Jasmine also noticed this and tilted her head, confusion filling her fair face.

Lei Xiao then cast a night vision magic scroll on himself and continued to look towards the direction of Guanwang City with a frown.

It didn't take long. As our footsteps got closer, Lei Xiao's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

The vast area where Guanwang City was supposed to be was completely empty, with no trace of its existence at all. (End of this chapter)
