Chapter 1496 Exploration and Change
"what happened?"
Standing at the entrance of the ancient ruins filled with the unknown and mottled atmosphere, Lei Xiao's nerves instantly tensed up when he heard Jasmine's sudden nervous words.
"I vaguely sensed a huge fluctuation of spatial energy, which seemed to be quietly brewing!"
Jasmine's voice was still filled with nervousness. She waved her hand to signal Lei Xiao and the others to step back, and said, "Something is wrong here. It's very wrong!"
"What? A huge fluctuation of spatial energy?"
Hearing the sound, all our warriors clenched their weapons and subconsciously looked around vigilantly, as if a monster would jump out from the shadows or behind a broken wall with its bloody mouth open in the next second.
You know, we just walked out of the shadow of the lich's land of death, especially the demon who is good at bewitching people and manipulating space, which makes people sweat profusely.
Even when most of the powerful people present arrived at the depths of the Skeleton Hall, the demon had already become a spent force after the fierce battle of Lei Xiao and others, but its huge body and terrifying appearance were still vivid in people's minds, like an eternal nightmare.
Therefore, when everyone heard the fluctuation of space energy again, they obviously immediately remembered the epic battle that had just passed.
"Is there a demon hiding here?"
Broy had already summoned four bumpy sixth-order alchemical puppets, his face full of nervousness.
Due to the several fierce battles that have taken place during this period, the alchemical puppets have obviously not yet been repaired.
"No, this is far more terrifying than you can imagine!"
Jasmine's voice also trembled a little more as she added, "Compared to this power, that demon is not even a bug!"
After saying this, Jasmine's face turned pale, because she had discovered that in front of that huge spatial force, all her spatial spells were useless and could not be performed at all.
"what?!"
When Jasmine said this, everyone on our side was even more surprised, and under Lei Xiao's command, they all retreated quickly in the direction they came from.
Among the crowd, only Lei Xiao himself still maintained a relatively calm expression and was not too nervous.
Even demons at the demigod level are like ants compared to them, so the only ones who can do this are true gods.
"Is it the reminder sound again? Is it going to open a new Lord Arena?"
Lei Xiao thought so and frowned slightly.
But at this moment, the group suddenly stopped, because an invisible wall had completely blocked the way forward, blocking our way.
"Is this a spatial barrier? I have never seen such a subtle and unshakable existence. It has absolutely no flaws and is impossible to cross!"
Jasmine was surprised, but her voice also revealed a bit of panic. She said, "It seems that we are completely trapped here."
"Could it be Eclipse who did it?"
Old Nick almost fainted, but he still used his staff to support his body and tried to calm himself down.
Most of our other strong men were in the same mood, still on guard in their respective positions, without relaxing for a moment.
Even so, an extremely uneasy mood quietly spread among the team.
"Human boy... Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Jasmine took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and looked at Lei Xiao again.
"Since the way back is blocked, the only thing left for us is to move forward."
Lei Xiao's gaze fell back into the depths of the ruins, and he nodded to everyone, saying, "There is no trace of Eclipse or demonic presence here, so we can rule these two out for now."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone's confused and nervous mood was relieved and they all nodded.
"My Lord, is this similar to the situation of the missing fleet before?"
A muffled voice of respect was heard, and Bruno, the Minotaur general who had also been subdued by Lei Xiao, touched his chest and saluted, obviously remembering the incident in the Lord's Arena.
"Yes, if I am not mistaken, it is that god who is in charge of all this."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, affirming Bruno's words.
"God?!"
Hearing the sound, Carol, Calvin and Old Nick who were accompanying them could hardly believe their ears and their eyes widened.
I didn't expect that His Majesty actually had an intersection with the gods! But since the blank era, the gods have long gone away, why did they appear again?
Did the god never leave, or was there some unknown secret hidden in this? In any case, His Majesty is indeed extraordinary!
Noticing the changes in expressions of several people, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
Regarding the fact that the prompt sound came from the gods, he had only told the strong men who had participated in the Lord's Arena, as well as the human kings and their direct subordinates, so Carol and others naturally did not know about it.
Of course, there was another person in the team who was extremely surprised, and that was naturally Jasmine.
"Your Majesty, how do you know that it is the gods who are in charge of all this? Do you have any other communication with the gods besides divine revelation?"
Jasmine's eyes widened, not caring about the spatial barrier anymore, and asked hurriedly.
You know, even the forest elves she belonged to had never heard of any other interactions with the gods, especially after a certain number of [God's Stones] were collected, there were very few subsequent increases, so even the divine revelations could not be heard for thousands of years.
"Sir, I am actually a lord from another world who has descended on this land. I am somewhat unusual."
Lei Xiao didn't say much, just smiled slightly.
"…What is an alien lord?"
Jasmine, who had just escaped from the space crack, was even more confused. It was obvious that she had not yet learned any information in this regard.
"It's just a little unusual."
Lei Xiao did not continue to explain, but restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Well, even though we know that the gods are in control of all this, based on previous experience, the danger level ahead will definitely not be less than a battle with the devil. It will definitely be fraught with danger, so everyone must be fully alert."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the strong men nodded solemnly, and then walked back towards the direction of the ancient ruins under Lei Xiao's guidance.
It didn't take long before the group officially stepped into this long-forgotten ancient underground city.
According to Jasmine's perception, the terrifying spatial fluctuation that had just appeared quietly disappeared again. It was unknown what was brewing.
As he moved forward, Lei Xiao noticed further.
Only a few houses here are well preserved, and most of them have become ruins, covered with dark magical moss everywhere. It is obvious that they have experienced a war and may have been destroyed in the blank era.
Apart from this, there are two biggest problems.
The first one is naturally what Jasmine and Broy mentioned just now. This is not a dwarf city, but there is a dwarf teleportation array deployed at the entrance. There must be a reason for this.
Second, it is the original source of the magic communication. Could it be that the prompt sound was sent deliberately to make him fall into the trap?
Just when Lei Xiao was puzzled, Calvin's old voice sounded beside him: "Your Majesty, according to my observation, these relics seem to be from the ancient human race!"
"Yes, this old minister also has this view."
Gray Elder nodded in agreement and echoed, "Many of the architectural styles here are very similar to those in the depths of Glowing City. Although we haven't seen the iconic emblems and patterns and other details, they should have been designed by the ancient human race."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
As far as he knew, people had indeed discovered many remains of ancient humans on this land since the blank period, but most of them were severely damaged, with only a pile of broken walls and tiles left.
The best-preserved building is currently the palace of Princess Pelican, which is also the main hall of the Temple of Light. Another relatively well-preserved building is the palace of the old Silver Fire King underground in Huangyao City.
After the Black Abyss Brotherhood was wiped out, a large number of archaeologists were sent to both locations for research, including the mercenary guild led by Gray Old and the Cold Flame Palace where Calvin was located, so it was not surprising that the two could say something.
"So these are the remains of the ancient human race. If I remember correctly, the most powerful overlord of the ancient human race should be the Silver Fire Kingdom, right?"
Jasmine hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
After that, Jasmine changed the subject and looked at Lei Xiao again, and said quietly: "You must have inherited a lot of treasures from the ancient human race, right? Otherwise, where did you get those trump cards from?"
"Whatever your Excellency says, that's what it is."
Lei Xiao shrugged noncommittally, and changed the subject: "It's already this late, so please don't take this opportunity to trap me."
"Tsk, don't you always try to trick me?"
Jasmine rolled her eyes and pouted, "Speaking of which, following this fellow like you is really not a good thing. I originally wanted to go out for a stroll, but I didn't expect that I would be directly involved with the gods. Even if I tell those old stubborn people in the tribe about this, I'm afraid they will just say that I'm talking nonsense."
As soon as Jasmine finished speaking, Gray Old Man and Calvin's joyful voices rang out almost simultaneously, reaching Lei Xiao's ears: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the ancient ruins of the Silver Fire Kingdom. We have found definite evidence!"
Following the sound, Lei Xiao observed that right in front of the two of them stood a ruined building with the left half completely collapsed. On the wall of the right half of the building, there was a mottled wolf head emblem engraved, which was the symbol of the Silver Fire Kingdom.
Lei Xiao just saw this and heard Jasmine's voice become a little nervous again. She blurted out: "That extremely terrifying spatial energy fluctuation has appeared again!"
Along with Jasmine's voice, everyone on our side noticed with surprise that the originally empty surroundings suddenly became turbulent, figures emitting a majestic aura emerged one after another, and arrows were whistling towards us.
"Fight back!"
Since Xiao Jie had already activated the absolute defense barrier, and everyone on our side was extremely alert, we immediately launched counterattack spells and arrows at those sudden figures.
boom! boom! boom!
Following a series of violent magic explosions, dust suddenly rose up all around, making the already dim space even more blurry.
When the dust gradually settled, everyone noticed that all the attacking figures around them had disappeared. What was even more surprising was that the arrows that were shot at us did not hit our absolute defense barrier, as if they had evaporated into thin air.
"What happened? Is it an illusion?"
Carol opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief. Although she had advanced to the fourth level, she was undoubtedly insignificant compared to the other sixth-level warriors on our side who were extremely powerful. The aura that everyone had just exuded alone had made it almost impossible for her, Calvin and Old Nick to gain a foothold.
"No, there is no energy fluctuation of any illusion."
Jasmine obviously possessed some means of resisting and detecting illusions. She said confidently, "Those figures are real, but they are also real even if they disappear."
"What does this mean? Did they use teleportation?"
Broy shook his head, looking puzzled, "But that doesn't make sense. Could those arrows that were shot at us just now have also been teleported away?"
"It was indeed teleported away, but I didn't sense any energy fluctuations from the teleportation. What on earth is going on?"
Jasmine's voice was also full of confusion. It was obviously the first time she encountered such an extremely strange situation.
"But even if they were all teleported away, why did they do this? Are they warning me?"
Hanershu frowned on his rough blue face. While staring at his surroundings, he said, "This is too puzzling."
"By the way, a group of powerful and imposing men suddenly appeared in the lifeless ancient ruins. Isn't this in itself unreasonable?"
Fanny also frowned and said with a vigilant look, "It's simply unbelievable."
Listening to everyone's puzzled words, Lei Xiao looked thoughtful.
As for the identity of the attacker, the only thing he could think of was the overlord-level lord from other plates.
But this time, the prompt did not indicate any sound related to the Lord Competition, and as everyone was wondering, why did the opponent's attack disappear halfway? What exactly did they want to do? Did they really come from other plates?
Just as Lei Xiao was puzzled, more figures exuding a majestic aura appeared again, instantly filling the surroundings with hostility.
This time, these powerful figures actually appeared directly in front of us, very close to the absolute defense barrier.
Surprised, Lei Xiao finally saw the other party's true face. The other party only had an outline, which was extremely similar to the space golem puppet that Jasmine had summoned!
"Ah? What are these?!"
Jasmine obviously noticed this, and she opened her eyes wide involuntarily, but before anyone could react, something even more unbelievable happened. (End of this chapter)
