Chapter 1164: The Ancient Arena in Turbulence
Staring at Lei Xiao's unwavering eyes, Catherine's originally hesitant eyes quickly showed a hint of relief, and she no longer expressed any objections.
She originally planned to let Lei Xiao stay here while she led people to rescue the soldiers. After all, Lei Xiao was too important and was the absolute core of our army. No one could replace him.
But on second thought, facing the Temple of Light which was like an abyss, he had no confidence at all.
But Lei Xiao is not like that.
This young man from another world possesses determination, extraordinary courage and unfathomable means that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He has created too many amazing miracles that are worthy of being recorded in history, and even saved himself and the entire Iron Hand Islands.
Although he is the opponent's number one target, he is also our only hope.
"If there is still one person on our side who has a chance to save all this, is it only him? Even though this is a steep and arduous road that is destined to be full of thorns."
Catherine's starry eyes flickered, and a myriad of thoughts ran through her mind. Although she was unwilling to admit it, as the queen of the vampire clan, this was the first time that she cared so much about someone.
“This momentum is just right!”
Louise was not as reserved as Catherine. She stood on tiptoe, patted Lei Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, human prince. I will always be by your side!"
"Then let's prepare for action immediately."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and began to make arrangements.
Knowing that the other side could swallow up 80 legions, Lei Xiao would naturally not bring ordinary soldiers this time, but would prepare to act with a small-scale elite force.
After thinking it over again and again, Lei Xiao only selected three fifth-level subordinates, Jiang Li, Hu Zhang, and Hong Ye, as well as Catherine and Louise, and did not even bring a fourth-level strongman.
Lei Xiao understood clearly that when he knew he had stepped into the opponent's trap, it was better to be cautious. Bringing a fourth-level strongman with him might turn out to be a burden, even if he was a peak fourth-level strongman.
And with the support of his inhumane wealth, he is already strong enough to compete with a fifth-level strongman, which is definitely incomparable.
As for the remaining 50 legions outside the city, they all gathered outside the east gate according to Lei Xiao's instructions, and used earth, ice, plant and other spells to build a magic fortress on the spot for defense in case of emergency.
At the same time, Lei Xiao also ordered the Ice Stone City hidden in the dark to be ready to support the 50 legions outside the city at any time to prevent any accidents.
After everything was arranged, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and walked quickly towards Huangyao City with the other five people who were ready to go.
"The Holy Lion Prince is actually prepared to take risks? The Holy Temple of Light must have set up a net of heaven and earth."
Seeing this scene from afar, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on Gray Old's wrinkled face, and he blurted out: "I'm afraid that the moment he steps into the city, he will fall directly into the enemy's trap like the other disappeared legions?"
"And he only brought five strong men with him. Such courage is indeed extremely rare. If it were any other human monarch, I'm afraid he wouldn't make such a decision so easily, right?"
A trace of awe surged on Joniel's old face, and he said, "It seems that as a lord of another world, he has been able to reach this point today, relying on more than just the special abilities of a lord of another world."
"Yes, this Holy Lion Prince is really becoming more and more impressive."
Gray nodded in agreement, a trace of regret welled up on his old face as he said, "It's a pity that we can't watch the battle any further. Let's just wait here for news from the Holy Lion Prince."
"Is it okay to go to a mountain of tigers even though you know there are tigers there?"
Hearing the praise from the two top masters, Diana's fair face was filled with a complex expression of worry and admiration, and she murmured in her heart: "I hope he will be fine and come out alive."
As for Durant and the three alchemists standing aside, they all looked extremely surprised.
You know, there are not many people who can be praised like this by their old president. Even they themselves have not received such praise. What's more, they have been unanimously recognized by the two old presidents. This can be called the number one person in the human world.
While they were surprised in their hearts, several people also revealed an expectant look. They wanted to take a good look at what other surprising things this Prince of the Holy Lion, who was praised by the two old presidents, could do.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lei Xiao, holding Rolandel in his hand, has already walked to the gate of Huangyao City.
Looking into the city through the majestic city gate, I saw the spacious streets were empty and lifeless. Only a few withered yellow leaves were slowly falling in the wind, adding a bit of bleakness to the already empty scene.
"Well, I'm afraid our opponents are getting impatient, so let's just have a big fight."
Lei Xiao first turned around and glanced at the people following closely behind him, and then strode into the city gate without any hesitation.
Under everyone's nervous gaze, as expected, the moment Lei Xiao and his group of six walked into the city gate, they immediately disappeared, completely losing any trace.
Accompanied by a very brief feeling of lightness, when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were dark.
With the help of the night vision effect of [Eye of the Stars], Lei Xiao looked intently.
I found myself in the center of a huge and dark open-air arena. All around me were rows of stands that gradually rose like hills, at least ten stories high. It was empty everywhere, without a single person in sight.
Judging from the appearance, this arena is obviously very old, exuding a sense of vicissitudes and weathered experience.
However, although the surroundings look extremely old, they are not covered in dust, and many places have traces of new repairs, which shows that this place has obviously been repaired and cleaned recently.
The middle area of the arena where he was located was at least the size of 10 football fields. The soil surface was hard and flat, and it looked extremely vast, enough to easily accommodate a small town.
Compared with such a huge stand and venue, I, who am alone, am just like an ant and seem extremely insignificant.
"There's no trace of Yuji, Catherine, and the others. So, they were teleported to different areas?"
"This is also within expectations. After all, Thor and his men disappeared to a different location than the soldiers who came later. This means that there must be more than one teleportation array hidden in the city, and the scale is very impressive."
Lei Xiao held Rolandel tightly, observing the surroundings and examining the current situation.
Looking from above this giant open-air arena, one can see an obviously processed earthen roof, and at this point, the situation is already very obvious.
"Is it really the underground of Huangyao City? I didn't hear any shouting or killing around, and the telepathy still can't get through."
"This means that this place is indeed extremely large and is divided into different areas, separated by barriers. I didn't expect that there is such a vast area hidden underground."
"And, judging from its antiquity, this is probably an extremely large ancient underground city."
Lei Xiao had just thought of this in his mind when something strange happened.
I saw hundreds of tightly sealed metal doors suddenly opened on the tall oval stands.
Immediately afterwards, dense and orderly footsteps sounded.
Countless soldiers poured out of the gates like a steel torrent, and soon covered every corner of the stands.
Although the entire space was extremely dark, it still could not conceal the sharp cold light of the unsheathed swords.
In the blink of an eye, the auditorium that could accommodate more than 300,000 people was almost filled with densely packed soldiers. It was not difficult to tell from the golden flags and the golden emblems on the breastplate that these were the defenders of the Kingdom of Grimm who had disappeared at the beginning.
For a moment, the open-air arena, which had been as calm as water, was suddenly turbulent. At least 30 enemy soldiers were full of murderous intent, and the overwhelming momentum they gathered was stirring in every corner of the huge arena.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to actually fall into this trap. You are so stupid!"
A teasing male voice suddenly sounded.
Then, in the direction of the chief VIP stand, which had the most comprehensive view of the arena, dazzling magic light balls lit up, illuminating the entire VIP stand.
I saw a young king wearing a crown and with a vicious face sitting on a shining golden throne, with his chin supported by one hand, looking at me with contempt.
Around the young king stood a group of aggressive Grimm generals, each of whom had a murderous look on his face.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao showed an indifferent expression as expected.
Lei Xiao was naturally no stranger to this young king, for he was none other than the new king of the Kingdom of Grimm, Hall.
Lei Xiao's gaze did not linger on the other person at all. Instead, he observed his surroundings for a moment and said calmly, "What? Your backer is not here?"
"How dare you! You are just a despicable person from another world, and you dare to speak to me like this!"
Seeing that Lei Xiao obviously didn't take him seriously, Hall's face, which was filled with hostility, suddenly surged with anger, and he roared: "Foreigner, why don't you kneel when you see the noble Holy King?"
"How ridiculous! Your father was defeated by me, let alone you?"
Surrounded by dense enemy forces, Lei Xiao remained calm and continued to say calmly: "You are just a dog of the Holy Temple of Light. It is a great honor for you to be able to talk to me on an equal footing."
"You bastard, you dare to speak nonsense even when you are about to die!"
Hearing this, Hall's expression changed again and again, and finally he showed a trace of disdain, and said contemptuously: "I know, you know that you are about to die, so you are deliberately trying to attract attention, right? It's really a despicable method."
"You have seen the current situation, alien. There are 30 warriors of the Kingdom of Grim standing around you. You are doomed to die."
At this point, Hall looked at Lei Xiao with interest again and said jokingly, "If you kneel down and beg for my forgiveness now, perhaps I will let you die more easily. Otherwise, you will endure endless torture and eventually die in despair and regret."
"You've been relying on others for so long that you've forgotten your own worth. Then I'll give you two choices."
Lei Xiao glanced at Hall and said calmly: "Now tell me where the others are, and your soldiers can still save their lives, otherwise I will strangle you with my own hands, and this place will surely flow like a river of blood."
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, the huge arena suddenly fell silent.
In just a moment, the whole audience burst into endless laughter and sarcasm, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Hundreds of thousands of Grimm soldiers either looked disdainful or contemptuous, and cast mocking glances at Lei Xiao in the center of the arena.
The moment this despicable alien stepped into Huangyao City without knowing his own limitations, he was teleported alone into a cage that had been prepared long ago.
Fighting against an army of 30 alone, this guy must be scared silly, right?
Not to mention a despicable alien from another world at the peak of the fourth level, even if 10 fifth-level warriors or even sixth-level warriors came, there would be destruction!
For a moment, along with the sneers, there was a murderous aura that filled the air, making it almost difficult to breathe.
"Hahaha, you ridiculous alien. I thought you were a tough opponent, but it turns out you are just a fool."
Surrounded by the powerful nobles of Grimm, Hall held his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his back.
The new King of Grimm held the crown on his forehead and said jokingly, "I admit that you do have many elite soldiers and generals under your command, and they have caused me a lot of trouble. But now you don't even have a dog by your side. What can you do alone? Are you giving orders to yourself? It's simply laughable!"
After Hall finished speaking, the huge arena was filled with laughter again. The murderous aura rising into the sky was like a shadow, as if it could crush Lei Xiao at any time.
"I can't really do anything, but I'm more than enough to deal with a bunch of you."
Lei Xiao did not continue to talk nonsense with the other party. Instead, he was ready to go. He said calmly: "The Kingdom of Grim has never defeated me, and this time is no exception. This place will become a grave for all of you, and I will erect a tombstone for you that is filled with incompetence and ridiculousness."
"You bastard, you are simply asking for death!"
Hall's defense was obviously broken by Lei Xiao again, and his face suddenly became distorted and ferocious.
He just waved his hand, and the absolute confinement barrier flashed with light, completely covering the entire arena.
The chief VIP desk area where he was located was also flashing with magical lights, and the absolute defense barrier that had been hidden was also revealed, protecting the entire VIP desk.
"You are just a despicable, ignorant and arrogant alien. I want to see how you can make my 30 troops bleed into a river!"
Hall's turbid eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he ordered, "Crush this fool who doesn't know how to live or die!"
As Hall's voice fell, countless Grimm archers and magicians who had been ready for a long time suddenly opened fire at full force. The rain of arrows mixed with deadly magical power was like a violent storm, pouring down from all directions of the audience stands towards Lei Xiao.
