Chapter 1459: Towards Another Depth

The thick black fog and deathly aura lingered, and the blood-red white giant city stood in front.

On the battlefield where the magic artillery roared, Lei Xiao's nervous expression was beyond words when he heard the response of Xiao Jing and Xiao Jie.

Since the breath of the [God's Stone] suddenly came from under the ground, it can only mean one thing, that is, something must have happened under the ground, which caused the weak stone elf to wake up.

After all, if it was in a completely weak state of sleep, even Xiao Jing and Xiao Jie at the sixth level would find it difficult to sense the breath of the weak stone elf.

In this way, coupled with what I just speculated, the other party may have other means to deal with us, then the situation is obvious.

Although I don't know what the specific means are, the danger is likely to come from under the ground!

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Noticing Lei Xiao's abnormality, Loris and Sina cast puzzled eyes over.

"You two, stop attacking, let's leave this area first."

Lei Xiao didn't have time to explain, and immediately nodded to the two.

"Understood!"

After hearing the voice, although both of them were puzzled, they immediately conveyed Lei Xiao's order.

After receiving the order, the roar of our magic cannon had just stopped, and the army had not had time to retreat. The ground under their feet suddenly trembled violently, making it difficult for many strong men to stand firmly and began to sway back and forth.

Fortunately, Lei Xiao had notified the underground of the possible abnormal situation in time, so the strong men were not too panicked. They quickly adjusted their pace and quickly flew to the rear.

In the blink of an eye, just after our army had moved hundreds of meters, the change suddenly occurred.

As the tremor intensified, the entire ground suddenly collapsed and began to fall down at a high speed.

The area of ​​the collapse was extremely large, covering the entire area where our army was located. It was undoubtedly a shocking change.

Faced with the sudden situation of stepping on empty air, before everyone could react, an irresistible pressure suddenly fell from the sky, just like an invisible giant hand hitting our strong men.

Caught off guard, not to mention the physical strong men, even the magic strong men and the flying soldiers such as the elves and dragons had their wings and wing membranes stiff, and they could not flap at all.

"It's the suppression of the gravity array!"

As soon as Xina's surprised voice fell, the entire army formation fell rapidly with the falling ground.

Fortunately, we are strong after all, including almost all of our most wise magicians and great magicians, and all kinds of tongue-twisting chants sounded.

"Group Levitation!"

"Anti-Gravity Shield Wall!"

"Silph's Shelter!"

"Light Wind!"

...

With the buffering of a series of high-level group spells, our falling speed has obviously slowed down, and the unstoppable gravity pressure has also weakened.

"Growing Soft Giant Trees!"

"Magic Giant Mushroom Bed!"

"Bounce Magic Flower Garden!"

"Wide Area Vine Web!"

"Hand of the Forest!"

...

Then, with the combined efforts of Shult and other tree people, Mandera, Wood, Flower Fairy and other strong people who are good at plant spells, they directly created a soft and strange magic forest at the end of the fall as a buffer zone.

Not long after, Lei Xiao felt that he had landed on an extremely soft and thick mat, jumping off a giant magic mushroom.

Looking around, all the strong men nearby also landed safely under the continuous magic buffering, but the gravel and dust that also fell from the sky raised dust all over the sky.

As for the black fog above our heads, it obviously became farther away, which undoubtedly meant that our group had arrived at an underground space.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao was shocked and couldn't help but take a deep breath slowly.

Although this place is not very far from the ground, under the sudden and violent suppression of gravity magic, even this distance is enough to make a fifth-level strongman who is caught off guard fall into a pulp.

Fortunately, our strong men showed their abilities and used multiple buffering and protection measures in succession, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"What a vicious trick!"

Loris jumped down from a magic vine net with a dusty face. He shook the thick mane on his neck and spat, angrily saying: "No wonder I didn't see the opponent's magic trap along the way. It turns out that group of cunning bastards are holding back a big one here!"

"Fortunately, His Majesty of the Human Race noticed the danger from under the ground in time, so that the soldiers were all prepared, otherwise the consequences would be worse."

Xina was obviously much more calm, twisting her snake tail and swimming gracefully, looking at Lei Xiao and said: "This time it's all thanks to His Majesty of the Human Race."

"Leader Huangsha is polite. It's because you all showed your abilities and used one buffering method after another that we can be safe."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then thought of something again, blurting out: "Have you two discovered one thing?"

"I found it, that is, the lich must die!"

Loris's anger was obviously not dissipated, and he spat again.

"Your Majesty, you mean to say that the opponent's gravity array seems to have dissipated, right?"

Xina rolled her eyes at Loris and immediately responded: "In this way, it will be easy for us to return to the ground."

Before Xina finished her words, a series of deafening magic explosions suddenly sounded not far away, stirring up a violent wave of energy.

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao and the two leaders looked stern and immediately rushed to the scene of the incident.

When they got closer, Lei Xiao noticed that a deep pit was blown out of the ground, and some charred limbs and arms were scattered around, still emitting thick smoke.

Seeing Lei Xiao and others coming, a swamp fishman elder came to Xina and hurriedly reported: "Sorry, leader, it was my poor command that caused two tribesmen to step on the opponent's magic trap!"

"It's not your fault. Everyone stand still and don't move. It seems that this place is still full of deadly dangers!"

Xina waved her hand and frowned.

And Lei Xiao immediately took out a bunch of sixth-level detection scrolls and ordered the surrounding strong men to activate and check.

As expected, with the waves of energy, the outlines of a large number of magic traps emerged, densely spread in every place around us.

In this process, Lei Xiao further noticed.

As the dust gradually settled, the appearance of this underground space was also revealed.

The ground here was paved with neat bricks, and the walls were also the same. It was obviously not formed naturally, but an underground city exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life.

Moreover, from the patterns engraved on the wall, it is not difficult to see that this is not an ancient relic before the blank era, but also from the alliance forces destroyed by the lich.

"Your Majesty, there are many traps here. We must return to the ground first!"

Xina's stern voice sounded, and Loris also echoed: "That's right, as long as we build a magic staircase, it is not difficult to return to the ground!"

"That's right, let's act immediately."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, and the earth-attributed strongmen led by Chris and Fanny chanted, and a wide and thick magic staircase quickly condensed and formed, extending rapidly towards the ground.

However, the magic staircase just reached the halfway point, but suddenly stopped, causing Chris and others who were casting spells to look at each other in bewilderment.

"Your Majesty, there is an invisible barrier blocking the casting of spells, let's go and take a look."

Chris saluted Lei Xiao with her chest, and then flapped her wings with Fanny and flew straight to the position where the staircase stopped.

But just as they approached there, Chris and Fanny's fair faces showed a trace of pain, and even the frequency of flapping their wings became slower and slower. When the two of them lowered their flying altitude and left that place, they returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, the gravity array did not dissipate, but was suspended in mid-air, making it impossible for us to move forward."

Fanny landed in front of Lei Xiao again, frowning and saying: "It was that gravity array that prevented the formation of the magic ladder!"

"It turns out that the invisible barrier is the sudden gravity array. The opponent is really good at calculating."

Loris snorted coldly and said: "It seems that if we want to return to the ground, we have to find a way to break the gravity array first."

"But this gravity array is so powerful and covers such a wide range. The source will never be here. The opponent must have been prepared for a long time."

Xina gently stroked her fair chin and thought: "In this case, it will be very difficult for us to locate and destroy the array eye."

Just as everyone was thinking about the next countermeasures, countless sudden bone spears and bone arrows had already fallen from the sky, carrying a monstrous killing intent and overwhelming us.

Especially when passing through the gravity array, the speed of those bone spears and bone arrows was further improved. In almost the blink of an eye, they were close to us!

And our strong men subconsciously counterattacked, but just like the magic ladder just now, they were easily blocked by the gravity barrier and could not touch the opponent at all.

For a time, the boiling killing intent and the rich death energy stirred back and forth, shaking the hearts of every one of our strong men.

It is not difficult to see from the fierce energy fluctuations that the opponent's attacks are all above level five, enough to pose a fatal threat to us!

"Lord's protection!"

At Lei Xiao's signal, Xiao Jie immediately launched an absolute defense barrier, and our strong men who cooperated closely also immediately powered the barrier, which barely blocked the opponent's fierce attack.

Looking up, I saw that the ground was already surrounded by the army of liches and undead, making the dense bone spears and arrow rain continue, madly whistling towards our people.

"The road we came from has been completely blocked." Lei Xiao looked at the dimmed absolute defense barrier above his head, and then looked at the dark depths of the underground city, and said: "It seems that we only have one choice left, which is to move forward into the unknown." Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Xi Na and Loris also nodded. Whether it is the gravity array or the liches and undeads surrounding the ground, the opponent's purpose is already obvious. That is to drive us to the depths of the underground city, where a net has probably been set up. But now we are on the verge of life and death. If we don't continue to move forward, when the absolute defense barrier collapses, the result will be annihilation.

So, although the road ahead is bleak, this is the only option left for us.

"These damn bastards!"

Loris clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound, but he finally had no choice but to let go. Xina also looked the same, and began to help us remove the magic traps in front of us under Lei Xiao's command.

Unlike the two leaders, Lei Xiao's eyes were still as firm as iron.

There was another very important reason why I chose to go deep into this strange dungeon, that is, to find the weak [God's Stone].

From the current situation, it is not difficult to see that the [God's Stone] must have accidentally awakened during the other party's activation of the gravity array, and it may be able to provide some help to us.

Since there is no other choice, why not create a new option.

It didn't take long. With the concerted efforts of our strong men and the assistance of high-level detection scrolls, the magic traps in the front were soon removed, and we were out of the opponent's attack range.

Facing our departure, the liches and undeads surrounding the ground did not react in any other way, but just looked at everything coldly, which further proved that the other party had already made plans for the next step.

After entering this strange underground city, Lei Xiao noticed.

The space here is extremely large, and each passage is extremely spacious, so that our 10,000-man army formation does not seem crowded at all. If it were not for the wall carvings engraved on the wall that were the same size as normal, Lei Xiao would even think that this is simply a masterpiece of the Titans.

Although this place is extremely old, there are already a lot of cracks on the stone walls and the ground, and the construction technology is a bit worse, but in terms of scale, it is not inferior to the ancient ruins of the blank era.

"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, this area of ​​the capital was the last place that the lich conquered. After taking this place, the lich completely destroyed the city on the ground. I didn't expect that there was such a huge building hidden underground."

Xina's beautiful eyes were full of surprise, and she exclaimed: "Back then, this alliance was the overlord of all third-rate forces. If it still exists, it would have grown into a behemoth."

"It's a pity that they don't know why they were targeted by the lich."

Loris shrugged and said: "There are even records in ancient books that it was because of their greed for power that they awakened the sleeping lich, and finally reaped the fruits of their own labor. After all, the lich had almost never appeared in the thousand years before this to the blank era."

"It seems that there is also an unknown story here."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and looked into the depths of the passage ahead. (End of this chapter)
