Chapter 1322 Open the door
In the dark and deep dragon's lair, everyone looked at the intact giant ancient door in silence for a moment, too surprised to speak. Such a solid giant door was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, there was no magical light flowing on the surface of the door, nor was there any magical fluctuation. In other words, this door did not have any type of defensive barrier attached to it, but only relied on its own hardness to block our group attack.
You know, the combined attack of 35 level six fighters alone is enough to easily destroy a low-level army of one million.
"This……"
In the team, even Serin and other dragons looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Although they expected that it would take some effort to break through the door, they did not expect that there would not even be a crack.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? There is only one way to the depths of the nest."
Broy was surprised, and quickly came to Lei Xiao, speaking at a loss.
During this thrilling journey, the dwarf elf king, who had never been on a battlefield, was walking on thin ice and almost lost the ability to think calmly.
After Broy finished speaking, Shult and other tree man elders and wood fairy elders also gathered around, with anxious looks on their faces.
Just as Lei Xiao had thought just now, everyone knew that our time was extremely tight. Every minute late meant a little more danger. And now, this door undoubtedly completely blocked our way forward.
Moreover, everyone knew clearly that the surrounding cave walls were covered with a large number of magic traps. Although we did not trigger them due to the detection scrolls and everyone's perception, once we tried to force another way around, all the traps would undoubtedly be activated.
Although there were no magic traps in the shallow areas they passed at the beginning, they were already some distance away from the group. If they went back and dug a hole to bypass this door, it would take an incalculable amount of time.
Especially the dwarfs who once managed this place knew clearly that the mountain inside Wumeng Peak was extremely hard and contained a large number of mineral veins deep inside, which caused great trouble for opening up new roads.
After all, even the dwarves only dug a small part of the mountain, which is a good example.
Looking at the anxious expressions of the powerful men, Lei Xiao, who was also quite familiar with this place, quickly realized what everyone was thinking.
Although he was also anxious, Lei Xiao still raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stay calm, and then looked at Jiang Xi with a questioning look.
"I'm sorry, Lord, this ancient metal door has the effect of interfering with space. In addition, the dragon mirage is everywhere, especially the destination area that cannot be dispelled, so teleportation is impossible."
Jiang Xi shook his head at Lei Xiao and explained.
She clearly understood that if it was a sixth-order space expert, he might be able to teleport the group to the other side of the door, but she was at the peak of the fifth order and it was obvious that she was unable to do so.
"Then the only thing left is to open the door?"
Lei Xiao took a deep breath and frowned.
"Your Majesty, you just saw that this strange giant door is still intact under such a powerful attack. Do you have any other way to open it?"
Serin's fair face was full of doubt, and she curled her lips and said, "In my opinion, it would be better to find another way."
After Serin finished speaking, the other dragons all nodded, obviously not believing that Lei Xiao could open the door.
"Unfortunately, we don't have that much time. Since the culprit can come and go freely in the lair, he must have other ways to open it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then looked at Old Bing again.
As the only survivor present who had experienced the blank era, this former demigod-level powerful being from the same era as the ancient purple giant gate might have some ideas.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I seem to have some ideas."
Old Bing, who had been standing in front of the giant gate and investigating for a while, first saluted Lei Xiao with his chest, then closed his eyes and concentrated, starting to sense with all his strength.
In just a moment, as Bing Lao's old palm was placed flat on the frosted surface of the giant door, a light blue magic wave visible to the naked eye surged out.
Thick frost condensed rapidly and began to spread from Bing Lao's palm on the huge door to the surrounding area. Soon, several complex arc-shaped patterns were formed on the surface of the door, and then connected to each other.
The moment the frost pattern was completed, a blue magic circle emitting a rich glow emerged from the frost and began to slowly rotate.
Affected by the huge ice magic circle, everyone noticed with surprise that the temperature around them was dropping rapidly.
The extremely abstract and strange patterns on the ancient giant door actually changed their positions and moved along with the magic circle.
Upon closer inspection, it is clear that the movement of these strange patterns follows a certain pattern, like a series of rings nested within each other, divided into different areas, and the rotation speeds of each area are different.
With every rotation, different symbols and patterns will intersect, just like a series of unknown codes.
Not long after, accompanied by a crisp "click" sound, the door began to vibrate faintly out of thin air.
"Is there a special magical mechanism hidden on this huge door?"
Seeing this scene, Serin's starry eyes widened and she couldn't help but blurt out.
Everyone present was familiar with magic mechanisms, including Lei Xiao, who had encountered them before in the Titan ruins.
Unlike magic restrictions that can be forcibly broken, magic mechanisms are a type of extremely precise technique that can only be opened by finding the correct specific combination.
In other words, if the magic restriction is compared to a magic physical lock, then the magic mechanism is equivalent to a magic combination lock.
"Miss, this is indeed an ancient magic mechanism."
One of the sixth-level dragons pondered for a moment and responded, "But this is probably not an ordinary ancient mechanism, but a divine magic mechanism!"
“A magical mechanism favored by God? Could it be that it is a magical mechanism that can only be opened by the long-extinct chosen son of God? No wonder we didn’t find any clues!”
In order to catch up with the knowledgeable Hong Ye, Serin, who also had a lot of knowledge about ancient knowledge, opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief: "So, this ice-type old man is actually a son chosen by God?"
After saying that, Serin couldn't help but look at Lei Xiao again, her face full of surprise.
The value of the title "God's Chosen Son" is self-evident. It means that this person was once a chosen one chosen by a certain god, possessing the ancient power and power of God before the blank era. Even at that time, his status was enough to rival that of a royal family that held supreme power.
And now, it is said that only the Shadow Market and a few mysterious top forces possess this kind of transcendent existence, which is enough to become the guest of honor of any top force. It is rare to see it in a thousand years. Unexpectedly, it appears in front of her!
What made Serin even more unbelievable was that this transcendent being, who was respected by everyone even in the outside world, was actually so respectful to a small human emperor. It was simply a fantasy!
"No wonder there are rumors that this human emperor seems to control a magical mobile city that is like a place favored by the gods. It makes sense if you think about it this way, but how did he gain the loyalty of such a powerful person? Even if they are both human, an old man with a superior status would not be so respectful."
Just as Serin's slender body was stiff with surprise, Broy, Shult, the wood fairy elder and others looked relatively calm. After all, they were all people who had seen the Ice Stone City with their own eyes, and naturally knew the identity of Bing Lao.
The giant ancient door in front of everyone shook for a moment, and a large groove emerged, just like a giant keyhole.
"Your Majesty, it seems that this huge door has double protection. Even if the magic mechanism is cracked, the corresponding "key" is still needed to open it."
Old Bing flew into the air and observed for a while, then quickly returned to Lei Xiao's front, touching his chest and saluted.
"Then the 'key' must be with the culprit. Does that mean we still can't open the door?"
Compared to the calm Hong Ye, Serin was obviously more talkative and couldn't help but blurt out again.
Hearing this, Lei Xiao first waved his hand at the chatterbox, then looked at Old Bing and asked, "Old sir, I remember you once said that among the ancient myriad races, this kind of protection method that uses the power of God's favor, or the protection method built by the Son of God, generally has a backup opening measure to prevent the "key" from being lost. Does this door also have the same mechanism?"
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I am going to say next."
Bing Lao still maintained a respectful attitude and responded, "Generally, the backup method requires more than one God's Chosen Sons to be injected with God's favored power at the same time. After all, God's Chosen Sons are all the spokespersons of the gods. They are upright and will never do evil. Otherwise, they will be severely punished by God."
"As for the backup opening measure of this ancient giant gate, it requires the participation of two chosen sons of God at the same time in order to open it."
After hearing what Bing Lao said, Serin, whose eyes had been shining just now, suddenly became listless, with a helpless look on her face.
You know, just as she thought just now, even in such a vast world with so many powerful people from the outside world, being able to see a chosen son of God left over from ancient times is a rare opportunity in a thousand years.
But now, it takes two chosen sons of God to open the door, which is obviously an impossible task.
She didn't believe that there would be a chosen one among third-rate forces like tree people, dwarf elves, or wood elves. As for the tiny human race, it was even more impossible. After all, the appearance of one was a blessing.
Not far from Serin, Broy, Shult and the wood elf elders were all looking at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
It seemed that turning back and digging the hole was undoubtedly the only option, although the possibility of successfully reaching the depths of the nest before the other party was crowned was very slim.
Just when everyone was feeling dejected, they happened to see Lei Xiao and Bing Lao walking towards the gate together.
"Everyone, none of us knows what is behind the door, so we must not be careless."
Lei Xiao spoke as he gestured for everyone to form a battle formation.
"Your Majesty, what's the point of saying this if you can't even open the door?"
Serin pouted and looked at Lei Xiao, saying helplessly, "Besides, what's the point of you standing there? It's already this time, so don't think about being in the limelight, okay?"
After hearing what Serin said, Lei Xiao just smiled faintly and did not continue speaking. He then nodded to Bing Lao, and then together with the latter, he placed his palms flat on the surface of the ancient giant door.
"That human emperor wouldn't think that he is also the chosen son of God, right? It really makes me laugh to death..."
As Serin had just thought of this in her mind, two sacred yet completely different energy fluctuations surged out, filling the ears of everyone present.
As the energy fluctuations were aroused, the two giant dragon carvings engraved on the ancient purple door lit up together, flashing a dazzling light.
In the next second, the entire gate began to vibrate faintly again. This time, the gate actually opened slowly, making the road ahead unobstructed again.
"This is……"
Seeing this scene, not only did Serin's fair and delicate face suddenly freeze, but even Broy, Cornet, Shult, and the wood fairy elders who had just lined up in battle formation all opened their mouths wide, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Although those who had entered Bingshi City knew the identity of Bing Lao, they did not know that Lei Xiao himself was also a son chosen by God!
"This is unbelievable. I didn't expect that the human emperor is also such a transcendent being."
Broy swallowed subconsciously, and there was a bit more respect in his eyes when he looked at Lei Xiao.
From the human emperor fulfilling his promise and bringing unprecedented all-round improvement to the dwarf elves, to the extraordinary power he demonstrated today, every single thing has greatly exceeded the expectations of the dwarf elf king and refreshed his worldview!
And Shuerte and the wood elf elders all had the same look on their faces, all looking at Lei Xiao. They had only one thought in their minds, that is, forming an alliance with the human race was undoubtedly the most correct choice! Under the leadership of this young emperor, the human race was probably no longer a weak existence.
"Is he really the chosen one?"
As for Celine, she had a blank look on her face and didn't know what expression to make.
It was not until this moment that she felt that she seemed to understand why Hong Ye was willing to become the mount dragon of the human emperor.
"Now you know what that adult is capable of, right? You are really surprised by what you have never seen before."
Hong Ye came to Serin's side on purpose and glanced at her with pride.
"Humph, maybe it's just a coincidence, nothing special!"
Although she was shocked, Serin still remained stubborn and raised her chin to say tit-for-tat: "Even so, I will not bow my head to you like this."
At the same time, as the huge door slowly opened, the scene inside the door appeared in front of everyone.
