Chapter 1458: Deep in the Black Mist

In the depths of the thick black fog, Lei Xiao led the strong men to gallop at high speed while paying attention to everything around them.

As our footsteps went deeper, the scene here became more and more shocking.

In addition to the increasing number of ruins and tombstones, we could sometimes see large tracts of abandoned fields and dead trees flashing by on both sides.

Not only that, we could sometimes see blood-red rivers emitting a pungent and rotten smell, flowing slowly and viscous, and the thick miasma and black fog made the whole scene like purgatory.

These scenes made even Loris, Sina and others who had been here frown tightly, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Even they had never gone deep into this position of the Howling Land. For everyone, everything in front of them was unknown and unfamiliar.

Looking at the purgatory-like scene around him, Lei Xiao's brows were tightly locked.

Before setting off, I asked the administrators and others that even the Shadow Market could not be teleported to the depths of the Howling Land. It seemed like a cursed land, and it was displayed as nothingness on the magic sand table.

What made everyone even more uneasy was that the deeper into the black fog, the denser the skeleton fortresses were.

At a glance, the tall and towering white cities were looming in the black fog, and even two or even three could be seen at the same time.

When approaching the fortress, everyone could clearly see that the walls of the fortress were full of dead spirits, and the skeleton flags were fluttering everywhere. The empty eye sockets scanned back and forth, staring at our group of people who were passing by quickly with a smile.

Looking up at the dense skeleton soldiers, although the group was silent, they became more and more nervous.

The number of the enemy's undead army was much larger than we imagined. If we were to fight on the front battlefield, we would have no chance of winning.

This is not only a gap in strength, but also a rise and fall in the environment. Everyone can clearly feel that the deeper they go into the black fog, the slower the energy vortex in their bodies moves, which undoubtedly greatly affects their own strength.

"Your Majesty, if the other side chooses to surround us, then we are so deep, wouldn't we run into the other side's encirclement?"

Feeling the slow surge of the energy vortex in his abdomen, Loris frowned and couldn't help but speak.

"This is probably the inevitable result."

Lei Xiao nodded calmly and responded: "But the movement of the undead army takes a lot of time, and it is far behind our pace, so there is only one thing we have to do, that is to eliminate the opponent's command center before the opponent's army forms an encirclement."

"Your Majesty is right. As long as the lich leader and other core liches can be killed, the leaderless undead army will not be a problem."

Xina nodded heavily and echoed: "Your Majesty has defeated the opponent once, and the opponent also suffered heavy losses in the previous conspiracy, which shows that the opponent is not invincible."

"That's right. Anyway, this time we will fight to the death with the lich!"

Thinking of the opponent's insidious and vicious actions, Loris's lion face was immediately exposed, and a low roar filled with murderous intent brewed in his throat again.

After Loris finished speaking, the group fell into silence again, and no one spoke for a while.

Including Lei Xiao, the three commanders all clearly understood that behind the lich, there was an unknown backer hiding in the dark, and that was the real fear of the other party.

But the morale of the team was not as high as it was at the beginning, so Lei Xiao and the other two tacitly did not mention this point, but just repeatedly thought about everything that might happen and our countermeasures in their hearts, so as to increase the chance of winning, even if it was only a tiny bit.

Speeding along the unknown and mysterious road, I don’t know how long it took. When everyone had adapted to the increasingly dense ruins around them, in the deepest part of the black fog and ruins, a huge white giant city that had never been seen before began to gradually become clear.

The scale of this white giant city was amazing, almost comparable to the land of God’s favor, and much larger than the skeleton fortresses that passed by. The only thing in common was that whether it was this white giant city or the previous skeleton fortresses, the surface of the city presented layers of strange structures.

As for this strange stacking structure, or what materials these walls are made of, it goes without saying.

I saw that right above the white giant city, thick black fog was pouring out from the inside of the giant city, just like a huge chimney, as if it would never stop. That was obviously the source of the black fog in this area.

The constantly pouring black fog was like a huge twisted and deformed black shadow, looking down coldly at our group.

And around the white giant city, there was a bright red moat, making the whole scene even more weird and shocking.

"Your Majesty, according to the distance we have traveled, this is already the deepest part of the Howling Land, which must be the capital of the liches!"

Loris held an ancient parchment map in his hairy hands. After repeated confirmation, he nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "This was once the capital of the destroyed alliance forces. It is not surprising that the liches set up their base camp here."

Listening to Loris's words, Lei Xiao looked around. There were indeed a large number of ruins and collapsed buildings scattered around the huge white city. From the huge scale and the exquisite patterns carved on the broken walls, it was not difficult to see that this place had once been An extremely brilliant civilization also stands.

Nowadays, these low and dilapidated ruins form a sharp contrast with the tall forest-white giant city, as if they are silently telling a cruel past.

Finally, Lei Xiao fixed his sights on the thick walls of Senbai Giant City.

At this time, the city walls were covered with lichs and high-level undead soldiers. The empty eye sockets emitted a strange red light, which was obviously completely different from the ordinary low-level undead army.

Under the protection of the absolute defense barrier, I saw that the other party looked confident and confident, looking down at our group of troops approaching the city, their cold eyes full of contempt and murderous intent.

On the other hand, our military formation of ten thousand people seemed insignificant in front of the huge Senbai City, as if a group of ants were trying to shake a big tree.

"Prepare to attack the city."

Knowing that time was running out, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and rows of magic cannons immediately appeared at the front of our military formation.

These magic cannons are all extended-range types specially selected by Lei Xiao. The purpose is to attack outside the opponent's range. Otherwise, with our limited military strength, even if we rely on the absolute defense barrier to break through the opponent's city, it will be impossible. It will definitely consume a lot of energy from the powerful magicians, which is not conducive to the next battle.

Since all the powerful men present were the best among the best, in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of magic cannons were deployed, and the dark muzzles were aimed at the opponent's city wall.

"attack!"

Following Lei Xiao's order, our military formation under the Senbai city wall suddenly became full of magical power. Bundles of compressed magic bullets visible to the naked eye were like meteors all over the sky, whizzing straight towards the opponent's city wall.

When the colorful magic bullets landed on the opponent's barrier wall, they were like meteorites falling into the lake and sea, immediately arousing waves of violent energy waves.

And because our firing range exceeded the opponent's range, the opponent did not blindly fight back, but still watched all this silently from the city wall.

After the first round of magic bombardment ended, the second round of magic bombardment began immediately, followed by the third and fourth rounds, causing earth-shaking roars to be heard endlessly, and the surging energy winds sweeping across. Sand and dust are flying everywhere.

Lei Xiao looked at our magic masters who were bombarded alternately and in an extremely orderly manner around him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although there are all magic cannons of level 3 or above, and even quite a few of level 4 and 5, which are far beyond the energy supply limit of the magic light crystal, the people present are all powerful people of level 5 or above, giving magic guidance The efficiency of the cannon's energy supply is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.

Lei Xiao even saw that the powerful members of the fairy race, led by Fanny, Chris, and Old Susan, were all supplying energy to several magic cannons at the same time, and they still seemed to be extremely capable. This was based on what everyone had just done last night. Under the premise of going through a big war.

After being supplied with various high-level magic potions by Lei Xiao, although everyone's magic power has not yet been completely restored, it has recovered more than half, enough to attack with relative ease.

In addition, a group of physical experts were not idle either. With the blessing of spells that increased the range, various bows, crossbows, spears, and stones rained down, drawing sharp trajectories in mid-air. .

For a time, our magical artillery fire and physical long-range attacks were overwhelming, making the originally extremely dense black fog seem to have become much thinner. Although the opponent's absolute defensive barrier has not yet cracked, the barrier wall's strange luster is dim. A lot, which shows that the other party is obviously under a lot of pressure.

"Your Majesty the Human Race, if we continue with this momentum, it will only be a matter of time before we break through the opponent's absolute defensive barrier!"

Xina's fair face was full of excitement, and she nodded to Lei Xiao.

Before that, although her newly acquired sixth-level equipment was taken away by Belinda, she later took it back, looking eager to try it out. Even after the attack last night, her injuries were not yet strong enough. Complete recovery.

"That's right, when this absolute defensive barrier is broken, I, the leader, will be the first to rush to the city!"

Loris' lion face also looked impatient, and the sixth-order giant ax in his hand was shining.

Listening to the emotional words of the two, Lei Xiao just smiled but did not respond.

Judging from the current situation, the other party just took a beating and did not make any other actions. To the cunning lichs, this did not seem to be in line with the other party's character.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the other party must be brewing some conspiracy.

"According to the scout's report, what is known so far is that, just as I predicted just now, the undead armies from other Skeleton Fortresses are gathering here in an attempt to encircle us."

"But even for the Skeleton Fortress closest to here, it will take an hour for the army to reach this point. In addition, the strength of a Skeleton Fortress is relatively limited. If we face us alone, there is no difference between facing us and dying. This means that the other side will have to wait for others. Reinforcements from the Bone Fortress will consume more time."

"As for the backers behind the scenes, they will never show up easily until the critical moment when the Lich is about to be destroyed."

"In other words, apart from encirclement and support, the other party may have other means of dealing with it, otherwise the lichs on the city wall would never be so calm."

Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin, thinking secretly in his heart.

So the question is, what other coping methods will the other party use?

After all, our strength is already the elite among the elite. Even with the black mist bonus, the opponent will never blindly choose to confront us head-on.

Lei Xiao thought like this, and his eyes began to move around subconsciously.

However, moving from the huge white city in front of them to the surrounding low ruins to the thick black mist in the sky, nothing special was found.

"Am I overthinking it?"

Just when Lei Xiao was wondering if he was a little too nervous and overestimated his opponent, Xiaojing and Xiaojie's doubts sounded in the former's ears almost at the same time: "Lord Qi, my subordinates suddenly sensed A hint of the same kind!"

"Are you saying that there are other strange [God's Stones] around?"

Lei Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses.

Could it be that the opponent also has a stone elf in his hand, and the stone elf is the key to the opponent's hidden method?

But Xiaojie's next response was to deny Lei Xiao's view: "Returning to the lord, it is indeed the [God's Stone], but the opponent is extremely weak, and the situation is not much better than the sleeping [God's Stone] before. ”

"Extremely weak? The threat is almost negligible."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

In this case, it can basically rule out the possibility of the opponent using the [God's Stone]. With the cunning nature of the lich, he will naturally not make an move like hitting an egg against a stone.

Thinking of this, another trace of doubt emerged on Lei Xiao's face.

This is the depths of the Howling Land. Why would an extremely weak [God's Stone] appear here?

Just when Lei Xiao was puzzled, Xiao Jing's next words made Lei Xiao more confused.

"Lord, it's strange to say that my subordinates clearly didn't sense the existence of any strangers of the same kind just now. That guy seemed to have suddenly jumped out."

After Xiao Jing finished speaking, Xiao Jie immediately nodded. The situation she encountered was obviously exactly the same as the former one.

"Not only is it an extremely weak [God's Stone], but it also appeared suddenly?"

Puzzled, Lei Xiao asked again: "Where is that aura now?"

"Go back to Lord Lord, it's down here."

Xiaojing and Xiaojie said in unison, both pointing to the ground.

"What?!"

When Lei Xiao heard the sound, his expression suddenly became nervous. (End of chapter)
