Chapter 1324 The real purpose
What emerged in Lei Xiao's mind was a figure wearing white knight armor, it was the White Knight.
As a well-known general of the human race, although the White Knight did not come this time because of his important position in the million-strong army, the face of the White Knight when he took off the mask was still fresh in Lei Xiao's memory.
It was a shockingly pale face, completely bloodless and emitting a strange deep blue light.
As for the source of the light, it comes from the mysterious dark blue crystals that cover most of the cheeks.
These translucent crystals with smooth and sharp surfaces, like small crystal clusters, have been integrated with the skin, and you can even clearly see the blood flow beneath the crystals.
On the pale skin that is not covered by crystals, the criss-crossing blue blood vessels are clearly visible, and blue veins are exposed everywhere.
In addition, the White Knight's eyeballs are completely crystallized, the whites of the eyes are dark blue, and the pupils are pure white, looking dull and weird.
Recalling the appearance of the White Knight in his mind, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the wide-open eyes of the two giant dragons.
The purple eyeballs and white pupils reflected a crystal clear and strange luster. It was obviously not made of flesh and blood. Except for the difference in the color of the crystals, they were almost exactly the same as the White Knight's eyes.
"Is there some kind of connection between them?"
Thinking of this, a feeling of uneasiness began to rise in Lei Xiao's heart.
This is not because of the strange crystallized appearance of these dragons, but because of the White Knight's description of how they were parasitized by crystals in the past.
According to the White Knight's recollection, just as the hot magma gushing out from the ground was about to touch him, the originally crimson magma flow suddenly turned into a deep blue, and began to crystallize rapidly, until it formed a round dark blue crystal the size of a head, suspended in mid-air.
It looked like a strange eyeball, or an octopus monster that had lost its tentacles. Its surface was smooth without any facial features, and it was impossible to tell what it was. However, the energy flowing in its translucent body reflected the outline of its organs, indicating that it seemed to be an unknown creature.
The White Knight, who was a fifth-level warrior at the time, felt completely cold just by looking at the other party, as if the blood in his body had solidified instantly.
In addition, the White Knight used an incomprehensible description.
That is, under the gaze of the strange creature, even though he was on the verge of death and had no fear of anything, he felt an indescribable strong shock, a fear that transcended death.
And the White Knight can be sure that the other party reached the surface following the continuously gushing magma, which undoubtedly shows that the other party is an unknown creature from deep underground.
"If you think about it carefully, the underground magma power used by the Kingdom of Loren at that time was a manifestation of the fire-attributed magic veins. When the magic array in the magic veins was overloaded, the huge explosion caused would definitely make the veins more active. To a large extent, this is also very similar to the current situation of the veins being full."
"Could it be that these giant dragons are also parasitized by an indescribable creature similar to that deep underground?"
In just a few seconds, Lei Xiao's brain was working at a very fast speed, quickly organizing the information in his mind.
"But even so, why are they here? Is it that the culprit arranged this specifically? In this case, in addition to attempting to be crowned in this place where the dragon is crowned, they also have other purposes?"
"No, I'm afraid it was precisely to facilitate this "other purpose" that he defeated Hongye and Serin's father at all costs and forcibly prepared to be crowned as the Dragon King?"
"In other words, his becoming the Dragon King is just a cover, and his real purpose is this "other purpose"? In this way, it seems that all the dragons here are likely to be parasitized by purple crystals."
Lei Xiao felt more and more uneasy as he continued to think.
If this is the case, then the reason why these giant dragons of various attributes seem to have stopped in time and do not pose any threat is most likely just a cover, the purpose of which is to make us let down our guard and catch us off guard!
After all, after being parasitized by the mysterious crystal, the White Knight not only did not show any stagnation, but instead gained a long lifespan and powerful self-healing ability!
Having come to this conclusion in his mind, Lei Xiao did not have time to explain anything else. He immediately waved his hand and said, "There is something fishy here. Go back quickly!"
"what?!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's incoherent words, although the strong men were full of confusion, they still subconsciously flew out and retreated towards the passage they came from.
At this moment, the two giant dragons, whose movements were frozen, suddenly flashed with the purple crystals that were parasitic all over their bodies. Two tremendous sixth-level auras rose into the sky. The sharp dragon claws that were suspended in mid-air instantly changed from extremely still to extremely moving, and they attacked the closest fifth-level Connet and Serin respectively.
The fierce and howling gale stirred up by the dragon's claws made the originally peaceful scene suddenly become extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, the two heard Lei Xiao's reminder and left the opponent's attack range first, thus avoiding the fatal attack by just brushing their hair.
"call……"
Feeling the danger so close, both Celine and Cornet, after surviving the disaster, couldn't help but sweat from their foreheads.
The attack came too suddenly and at a very close distance. Caught off guard, even though Serin was protected by two sixth-level dragon warriors and Cornet's sixth-level alchemical puppet was on guard not far away, it was undoubtedly too late to provide support.
In other words, if Lei Xiao had not issued a timely reminder, the two of them would probably have been in great danger.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
After retreating to a safe area, Cornet's face turned pale and he thanked Lei Xiao repeatedly, while Broy on the side also cast a very grateful look towards Lei Xiao.
Cornet is an extremely important member of the dwarf royal family. He has always been loyal to Broy and is also a well-known strong man and the first illusion master of the dwarf elves. If he encounters an accident, it will undoubtedly be a great loss for the dwarf elves.
"Thank...thank you."
As for Serin, after hesitating for a moment, she echoed in a low voice.
"Not worth mentioning."
Lei Xiao waved his hand casually, still focusing his attention on the two giant dragons that suddenly moved.
After the attack failed, the opponent did not pursue, but stopped again, as if nothing had happened.
"Your Majesty, how did you know they would suddenly attack?"
While commanding the other tree elders to transform into tree forms and stand ready, Shuerte asked Lei Xiao, "What on earth is going on?"
After Shulter finished speaking, the other main strong men also gathered together, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Then I'll make a long story short."
Lei Xiao first signaled everyone to be alert, and then he clearly and concisely expressed what he had just thought.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that all the dragons here are parasitized by the mysterious crystal? And the reason why the battlefield is in a strange stagnant state here is just to confuse us and let down our guard? The other party is really calculating."
Schulte's old face, like a wood sculpture, was full of solemnity, and he nodded thoughtfully.
If Lei Xiao hadn't discovered all this in advance, once we entered the core area of the battlefield, or dispersed to investigate, we would have suffered heavy losses due to being caught off guard.
"The main reason why the culprit wants the throne of the Dragon King is actually to quietly create these parasitic dragons in this coronation place, which is also the place with the most magical veins?"
Serin's fair face was full of surprise, and she blurted out, "So, this is the purpose of the mastermind who helped the culprit ascend to the throne?"
"They actually turned the proud dragon race into something that is neither dragon nor ghost. These guys are absolutely unforgivable!"
After Serin finished speaking, not only the other members of the same clan, but even Hong Ye nodded with a stern look on his face, and for the first time, they agreed with each other's ideas.
Although we don't know how the other party accomplished the parasitism, one thing is certain, at least they would rather die than become like this without even any dragon scales left.
"Oh? You actually figured out some of the situations here? It's a really unexpected result. It doesn't matter. Anyway, you guys can't even think about leaving."
At this moment, a low voice full of contempt and disdain sounded.
"Originally, I was planning to let you die without any defense, and then make you into specimens for collection. Since you are so ignorant, I don't mind using your flesh and blood as the red carpet for my coronation."
Hearing the voice, Serin frowned and said "Pah", then ran to Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, this is the voice of the culprit!"
"The idiot from Xuanran's family, and a few other losers, were you the ones who brought them in?"
The culprit's voice sounded again, sneering: "When I saw you all being so servile, I thought you were scared and didn't dare to do anything rash. I didn't expect you to dare to disobey me. You are really stupid and ridiculous."
"You are a traitor, how can you say you are disobedient? We are just waiting for the opportunity to cut you into pieces. Your sins and the raging flames you have spewed out, we will return them all to you in the end."
Serin clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "Today is the day you will die!"
"What a foolish arrogance."
The culprit laughed sinisterly, and then snorted coldly: "You don't think you'll become capable just by following these ants? That's really ridiculous."
"Ant? You are nothing more than a puppet placed on the stage by the mastermind behind the scenes. What is there to be praised about you?"
Hong Ye took a step forward and snorted coldly, "It was the ants you mentioned that broke through the fog, holding up their immeasurable courage, making the starry sky brilliant, and you are just a dog relying on the power of others."
"What a sharp-tongued insect."
The culprit's tone was a little more playful, and he said with a sinister smile: "You are Hong Ye from the Chiyan family, right? It has been difficult for me to find you for more than six hundred years."
“I have to say, even though he has turned into an ant, his stubborn eyes are exactly the same as your frail father’s. It’s a pity that he died in my hands a long time ago. He even begged for mercy from me before he died. That scene is really unforgettable. And you are about to follow in his footsteps.”
After saying that, the culprit's laughter became a little more arrogant, and he began to become more unscrupulous.
"You are talking nonsense! My father is upright and honest, how could he beg for mercy from you!"
Hong Ye became furious and was about to rush into the depths of the nest, but was stopped by Lei Xiao.
"The other party is just using words to incite us into a trap, trying to make us fall into chaos without fighting."
Lei Xiao patted Hong Ye's shoulder gently and shook his head slightly at the latter.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Hong Ye quickly calmed down and stood aside obediently.
"Oh? You are the human leader who integrated the ants? You actually led the charge and barged in here without knowing your own limitations. You don't think that just because you have tamed a stray dog of the dragon clan, you have the ability to challenge the majesty of the dragon clan, right?"
The culprit's voice suddenly became sharp, and he said grimly: "There are also tree people, dwarves and wood elves. It seems that the lesson I learned last year did not make you stupid insects behave yourself. This time I will kill you all!"
"Stop talking to yourself. A tree person will never submit to a tyrant, let alone a half-baked one who hasn't even completed the coronation ceremony."
Although the mature and prudent Shulter seemed to be the type who was not good at speaking, he was merciless when he spoke. He said sternly: "The blood debt of hundreds of years ago, it is time for you to pay with your blood today!"
"That's right, this is our territory as dwarves. This is not a place where you can run wild!"
Listening to the other party's murderous voice, although Broy's body was stiff and in an extremely nervous state, he still said sternly: "We have been trapped in the tunnel for hundreds of years just for this moment today!"
"The wood fairies will never bow their heads. We will always stand with His Majesty the Human and other comrades!"
A wood fairy elder also stood up, his voice strong and powerful.
"Whatever you say, you're going to die soon anyway."
The culprit's voice was full of disdain, and he said lightly: "Ants, then prepare to welcome the coming of the god of death. It is a good opportunity for you to taste these masterpieces I made. Although they are still in the early stages of parasitism, they are more than enough to deal with you ants."
As the other party's eerie voice fell, the giant dragons that had been fixed in the vast area ahead all turned towards us. Pairs of dragon eyes emitting strange purple light were filled with hostility in the mist. Faintly, the strong murderous aura was already rushing towards us like a strong wind.
Seeing this scene, our strong men who had already prepared for battle were naturally unwilling to be outdone and they all gripped their weapons tightly.
"Everyone, it seems these guys haven't been completely parasitized yet. Now is a good time to eliminate them."
The Rolandel in Lei Xiao's hand sparkled, and he waved his hand and said, "Then let the other party see our strength."
