Chapter 1273 Canyon and Market

"Lord, the front is the Inverted Canyon, where the Shadow Market will be held this time."

The morning sun was bright. On a mountaintop with a wide view, Erza touched her chest and saluted, reporting to Lei Xiao.

She was emitting a faint gray energy wave, forming a special illusion area, which completely wrapped our group. This is the group invisibility technique that only senior illusionists can master.

After Erza was promoted to the fifth level, equipped with the sixth-level illusion ring inherited from her ancestors and the assistance of Xiaohuan, her camouflage ability has reached an extremely good level, enough to prevent the strong men below the half-step sixth level from detecting any clues.

Although it is still difficult to hide from the eyes of the sixth-level strong, for our current side, it is already the strongest illusion camouflage level.

As for Xiaojie's absolute defense barrier formation secret method, although it has a stronger invisibility function, it cannot maintain the effect when moving quickly, which can be regarded as both advantages and disadvantages.

"It's not very far from the human territory."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and walked out surrounded by a group of strong men.

Gathering around Lei Xiao, there were not only two sixth-level strong men, Jonil and Gray Old, but also two half-step sixth-level strong men, Diana and Louise.

And the six fifth-level main subordinates, Jiang Xi, Qi Duo, Tiger Stick, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, and Gars, the fifth-level former god's servant Shuang who knew the land of the gods very well, and the stone elves such as Xiao Jie were also following like shadows.

In addition, Jinglan City and Bingshi City also stayed in the farthest area that can be reached at present. Although there is still a distance from here, it is also a very good help.

"In general, this is already the strongest lineup I can show."

Lei Xiao's palm turned up, and a brand new teleportation cornerstone emerged. According to the planned plan, this is undoubtedly a key link in the emergency plan.

After putting away the teleportation cornerstone, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked far away at the target location.

At the end of the wide area ahead, a desolate and strange narrow canyon came into view like a giant crack embedded in the vast world.

Although it was not clear, it could be vaguely observed that there was no grass growing in the canyon composed of yellow sand and gravel, and there was a lifeless and desolate atmosphere everywhere.

This was not the most important thing. As Erza said, there were large and small stones floating everywhere in the area where the canyon was located, and even in the air there were strange rocks, which were out of tune with the surrounding ordinary environment, as if they did not belong to this world.

"It's really a shocking scene."

Lei Xiao concentrated on sensing for a moment and blurted out.

Even at this distance, he could clearly feel the violent energy fluctuations coming from the canyon, which made the energy particles in the surrounding area chaotic, almost exactly the same as the environment on the battlefield.

Lei Xiao watched and nodded in thought.

According to his own arrangement, since the invitation letter showed the specific time a week ago, some of the main subordinates have been secretly investigating and monitoring near the canyon, but they did not find any clues about the trap.

Coupled with his previous inference, this undoubtedly shows that the possibility of the invitation letter being fake is not great.

But if the invitation letter is real, why would the Shadow Market be held in this location? This is still very confusing.

Lei Xiao pulled his thoughts back to reality, and immediately opened the telepathy, and said to the twin sisters who were still investigating in the hidden place of the canyon: "Nanxing, how is the situation nearby?"

"Reply to the Lord, everything around is normal, and there is nothing abnormal."

Nanxing's crisp voice came quickly, and responded: "According to the Lord's instructions, the observation point of the subordinates and others is extremely hidden, and the sixth-level concealment scroll is used, but there is still no trace of any other participants and the Shadow Market."

"I understand, just continue to observe."

Lei Xiao closed the telepathy and took out the invitation letter to the Shadow Market.

According to the content of the invitation, today is indeed the date of the opening of the Shadow Market, and there is a pattern of "two suns, one large and one small, showing most of them" at the back.

This is a time symbol of the ancient people, representing one hour after sunrise.

"It is now one hour after sunrise, the date and place match, but there is no trace of any participants? Even the Shadow Market, as the organizer, has not shown up."

Lei Xiao put down the invitation and looked at the empty entrance of the Upside-Down Canyon at the end of the vast world, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Lord, this is simply too strange."

Gars, who had participated in the Shadow Market once, stepped forward and said: "When I participated in the Shadow Market that year, the scene was very lively. Around the huge Shadow Market, the flow of people from all races gathered but entered in an orderly manner. No matter how you look at it, it is completely different from this quiet scene."

Hearing Gars' words, Lei Xiao's eyebrows frowned a little more.

Esther, who had attended the Shadow Market like Garce, had also described a similar scene, but the scene before her did not show any signs of a market being held.

"Your Majesty, it seems that things are not as simple as they appear on the surface."

A respectful old voice sounded, and Jonil, who also knew the whole story, stepped forward, touched his chest and saluted, saying: "In my opinion, for the safety of your majesty, why don't we return for the time being and make a long-term plan?"

"Yes, your majesty, everything ahead is unknown, and it is too dangerous for you to go into battle in person."

The gray old man also stepped forward and echoed with a worried look on his face: "It's not too late to make plans after everything is clear."

"I understand the worries of the two old presidents, but in the face of the crisis that may come at any time, we have no way to retreat."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded with a smile: "It is crucial for us to repair the land of God's favor one day earlier, or find a breakthrough in the outer domain one day earlier. Don't forget that the time left for us is extremely limited.

"For myself, for each of you, and for the entire human world, we can only move forward and see a glimmer of hope. "

"Because it's not just the Cataclysm, opponents on other plates are also scrambling to move forward, and once we stagnate, it will be no different from retreating. "

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, although there was still a trace of worry on the old faces of the two old presidents, they nodded heavily.

After all, under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, the human world can walk out of the roots of destruction. If it depends on them alone, the result will naturally be self-evident.

It is because of your Majesty's race against time that hope will appear in the future!

"I understand, I will follow your Majesty and protect your Majesty!"

Yonir solemnly saluted with his chest, and Gray Old Man also made the same gesture.

"Then let's take a look forward. "

Lei Xiao nodded to everyone, and then the group disappeared on the spot, as if they had never appeared.

Along with Jiang Xi's teleportation and the group's rapid footsteps, the Upside-Down Canyon, which was originally at the end of the horizon, began to become clearer, and the energy particles in the air became more and more chaotic.

"Lord, this Upside-Down Canyon is really very strange. It can actually affect the energy particles in the air to this extent. This is no less than a super-large battlefield of a million people."

Qi Duo clenched the longbow in her hand and did not dare to neglect it for a moment.

"Indeed, and we are still some distance away from the entrance."

Jiang Xi also tensed his nerves, and the gray magic flow on the top of the staff rippled, ready to teleport at any time.

"Since the blank era, the Upside-Down Canyon has been standing here as one of the more famous wonders in the outer domain. No one knows how it was formed. "

Eluza, who was at the center of the team, was concentrating, trying her best to support the group invisibility in the increasingly chaotic energy flow, and said: "It is said that even if a gravity mage or a great mage with the same attributes enters, they can't find any reason at all."

"It is indeed a magical place."

Lei Xiao looked up at the countless stones floating in the air in front of him, and then lowered his sight to look at the entrance of the canyon. The area there was vast and still empty, and it looked flat.

"Is it invisible?"

Looking at the empty ground, Lei Xiao's heart was once again filled with doubts.

He who owns the Ice Stone City and the Crystal Blue City clearly understands that the Land of God has a perfect invisibility function, but since the other party is going to hold a market, no matter how you think about it, it should not be invisible.

"Let me see what the other party is up to. "

Lei Xiao made a gesture to continue moving forward, and the group of people turned into phantoms again and disappeared in an instant.

It didn't take long. Against the increasingly chaotic energy fluctuations emanating from the Upside-Down Canyon, Lei Xiao and his group were already close to the entrance.

At such a close distance, the floating stones and gravel not far away seemed to be within reach, as if time had stopped and they were motionless in the air, which looked even more shocking.

However, the group's attention was not on the shocking scene, but on the open space in front of them.

"Lord, since the other party has not shown up yet, there is naturally no reason for us to show up first. Why not let our subordinates go and see if the other party is here. "

Hong Ye's starry eyes flashed with anger, and he saluted to Lei Xiao with his chest and said: "Since the other party does not know how to treat guests, there is no need for us to be polite to the other party. "

"Then let's do it this way. Be careful and just test whether there are any obstacles ahead. "

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and waved his hand to signal the others to step back.

After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Hong Ye's body was immediately filled with vast energy fluctuations, and his momentum was obviously stronger than before.

It's no wonder. After Lei Xiao's further training, Hong Ye's strength has reached from level 5, level 5, level 7, and although it has not yet reached the peak of level 5, with the special blessing of the dragon physique, it is enough to compete with ordinary level 5 peak powerhouses, and it is also enough to rank among the top of the human race's national powerhouses.

Just when Hong Ye had just drawn a flame-colored magic circle in the air, a giant city had already emerged in front of everyone, standing at the entrance of the Upside-Down Canyon.

For a moment, in front of the giant city that suddenly appeared, our group instantly seemed small, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao gently patted Hong Ye's shoulder, signaling him to stop casting spells, while looking up at the giant city.

Judging from the appearance, this city is indeed comparable in size to Crystal Blue City, Ice Stone City, and even the City of Light. It is easily comparable to the largest city in the human world. It looks extremely majestic and completely blocks the upside-down canyon behind it. stand up.

However, compared to the blue walls of Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City and the white walls of City of Light, the walls of this strange city are dark brown and appear thicker.

"Lord, this is indeed exactly the same as the cinephile market that my subordinates saw back then!"

Gars' somewhat excited voice soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.

"It seems that the authenticity of the invitation letter can be confirmed, and the conjecture that the cinephile market is a place blessed by gods has also been confirmed. The question is why did the other party set the venue of the market here? And there are no other attendee."

As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, a strange bass with a deep and hoarse voice sounded.

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty the Human Emperor. In order to confirm your identity, I didn't show up at the market right away. Please allow me, as the market manager, to welcome Your Majesty!"

As the strange bass voice fell, the fifteen-meter-high city gate slowly opened, revealing everything in the city in front of Lei Xiao.

Looking into the city, I saw that the spacious streets were empty, with only two teams of soldiers wearing brown heavy armor and thick face protection standing neatly on both sides of the city gate.

Judging from the appearance, this is obviously the market guard mentioned by Garth and Esther. "

"Twenty fifth-level peak market guardians? Judging from the formation, it is obviously not as strong as Gars and Esther said. As for the guy who claims to be the manager, he should be the leader of this city. "

Lei Xiao's scrutinizing eyes wandered, and after confirming that no other powerful opponent appeared, he said: "Dear Manager, you went through all the troubles to deliver the invitation letter to the market to me, but you behaved so abnormally. , you can’t even see other participants, it’s time to talk about your true purpose, right?”

"Haha, Your Majesty is serious. The matter may not be as complicated as His Majesty said."

The administrator's dull and hoarse voice sounded again, and responded: "Please come into the city, and I will explain the ins and outs of the matter to your majesty."

"There's no need to go into the city. You haven't gained my trust yet."

Lei Xiao didn't hesitate at all and directly rejected the other party's proposal.

Before things are clear, we will naturally not go deep into the other side's territory at will.

Lei Xiao changed the topic and said, "Why don't you ask the manager to condescend and come out of the city to talk to us?"

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the other party immediately fell silent.
