Chapter 1495: Dialogue and Doubts

When the familiar feeling of weightlessness flashed by, when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he found that he had come to an extremely spacious and humid underground space through the portal.

"Guiding light!"

As Xiao Jie, in the form of an elf, released a row of illuminating magic light balls, Lei Xiao further noticed.

This place is exactly the same as what Old Nick described. The space is extremely vast. Even if Xiao Jie's row of magic light balls flew out hundreds of meters in a fan shape, it still cannot completely illuminate the surrounding area. The space above the head is indeed extremely exaggerated, at least four or five hundred meters high.

"Is it really located deep underground?"

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes, listening to the sound of the underground river flowing not far away, while looking into the depths of the space.

Under the reflection of the magic light ball, a very large ancient city is revealing the tip of the iceberg. The ancient mottled stone walls faintly reflect the bright light of the light ball, and the outlines of buildings are everywhere.

"Xuan Ji, have you found the breath of "eclipse"? "

Lei Xiao collected his thoughts and immediately asked the stone elf in the form of another elf on his body.

"Master, there is no discovery for the time being."

Xuan Ji closed her eyes for a moment, shook her head and said: "There is no life here either. It is obvious that no one has been here for a long time."

After hearing Xuan Ji's words, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

What the other party said was right. Although Old Nick and his party had visited here in the past, they were soon swallowed up by the sudden "eclipse", leaving only Old Nick to escape.

Compared with such a huge space, the vitality brought by Old Nick and his party had long disappeared.

While Lei Xiao was observing, Jasmine, Carol, Old Nick and others who were accompanying him, as well as the main force, were also following him. More magic light balls flew out, and soon the surrounding area was brightly lit.

Even so, hundreds of meters away, it was still pitch black everywhere, and the end of the space could not be seen at all.

"Take good care of them."

Lei Xiao nodded to the group of sixth-level warriors, and the warriors immediately protected Carol and others in the middle of the team.

The reason why Lei Xiao brought them here was, firstly, to let Carol and others who were guarding here to further understand the current situation, and secondly, to let Old Nick lead the way and confirm the location of the "eclipse".

After hundreds of warriors lined up, Lei Xiao immediately took a step.

The group had just walked more than a hundred meters, and saw that Old Nick's old face was pale, pointing to an underground river not far away and trembling: "Your Majesty, that's where those "eclipses" appeared!"

"Old sir, you've worked hard."

Lei Xiao gently patted the other's shoulder, trying to ease the other's tension, and then walked over with the warriors.

When he got closer, Lei Xiao looked around. The water here was smooth and clear, which was the source of the sound of flowing water he heard at the beginning.

"Lord, this place is indeed filled with the energy fluctuations of the earth attribute magic vein. "

Chris folded her wings, and after sensing for a moment, she nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "The nearest magic vein is probably a few hundred meters below the riverbed."

As an earth-based great mage who is good at building cities, the wood fairy chieftain is obviously very sensitive to the energy fluctuations of the corresponding attributes.

"Lord, I feel it too."

Fanny, who is also an earth-based great mage, also touched her chest and saluted, echoing, "And, there are still some traces of the explosion of earth-attribute magic veins here, and the time was about a year ago."

"That was when Old Nick and the others came here, and everything matched up."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and asked again, "Can we tell when the next explosion will be?"

"My Lord, at least from the current situation, there are no signs before the explosion, but most magic veins are extremely unstable, so I can't make an accurate judgment. "

Chris shook her head helplessly and responded, and Fanny also had the same look, obviously sharing the same opinion as the former.

"I see, at least it hasn't erupted again yet."

Lei Xiao didn't bother anymore and continued to lead people towards the direction of the ancient ruins.

"My Lord, there is one thing I don't understand. Since there is no trace of "corruption" here, where did they go?"

Han Ershu, the troll leader who had just been subdued by Lei Xiao with the [Amethyst of the Contract], touched his chest and saluted, with a hint of doubt on his rough blue face.

"This is not simple. As long as the magic veins erupt, they can come and go freely between here and their nests, and will not be affected by any eruption. This means that they may have gone back before the eruption is over. "

Jasmine's tone was relaxed, without any nervousness at all, and she responded lightly.

Then, a hint of solemnity appeared in her tone, and she continued: "Or, they have left this cave by some means without using the teleportation array, and quietly mixed in with the human race."

"This situation is actually not uncommon. From time to time, some traces of "erosion" are found in my hometown, but they are quickly cleared. After all, the [God's Stone] is extremely restrained against these strange creatures, and even if it parasitizes on someone, the appearance will usually change greatly, and it is still easy to distinguish. "

After hearing what Jasmine said, the atmosphere in the team began to become more solemn.

Especially Old Nick, who had personally experienced the horror of "eclipse", could not stop trembling all over, and there was no color at all on his old face.

This undoubtedly means that those extremely terrifying things may appear anywhere on this land!

"I'm just saying maybe. Even in my hometown, only a handful of them can be discovered only after more than a hundred years. Since the blank era, there have been only sporadic cases of large-scale hiding in the dark, and they have all been wiped out. Apart from."

Looking at Old Nick's pale old face that was about to faint, Jasmine, who knew her words were a bit unobtrusive, coughed slightly, and added: "Furthermore, according to the information I learned, 'Eclipse' generally only targets people who stand tall." The top forces at the top of all races are interested, so you can rest assured! "

However, although Jasmine tried to ease everyone's tension, she blurted out several large-scale hidden things at the beginning, which further aggravated everyone's worries, and instead made the situation darker and darker.

After all, "Eclipse" appeared here not long ago, which means that the other party has already become interested in this land.

"In any case, don't forget that your Majesty has defeated many "Eclipses" in the past. As long as your Majesty is guarding the human realm, we don't need to worry! "

Carol's unswerving and determined voice sounded, appearing calm and powerful.

After hearing Carol's words, everyone's nervousness gradually eased, and they all turned their attention to Lei Xiao.

That's right, as long as His Majesty still stands here, no one can shake the boundaries of the human race!

"Don't worry, Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City where [God's Stone] is deployed will appear anywhere. As long as "Eclipse" appears, I will never sit still and wait for death. "

Noticing the respectful looks from everyone, Lei Xiao first looked at Jasmine helplessly, and then added something.

At this point, the tense atmosphere in the team has completely stabilized.

"Sir, so you have known about the existence of "Eclipse" from the beginning? "

While Lei Xiao led everyone towards the ancient ruins again, he asked Jasmine: "Can you tell me more about it in detail?"

"Good boy... Your Majesty, you are trying to get information from me all the time."

Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)

Jasmine curled her little mouth hidden in the hood, then shrugged and responded: "Forget it, this is not a secret among the top leaders of the first-class forces, so there is no harm in telling you."

"That's right, as early as more than 2,900 years ago, with the discovery of the [God's Stone], my hometown has learned about a series of divine revelations, including "eclipse" and "eclipse". The method of dealing with "Eclipse" is as you know it, but I am not a [God's Stone] holder, so I only know some basic information. "

Jasmine's response sounded, and she continued: "Not only my hometown, but other first-rate forces have also discovered all this one after another, so this has always been a secret among the first-rate forces. Only some high-level officials know about it. As for the second-rate forces, The power, even the third-rate power, is naturally unknown.”

"After all, obtaining the [God's Stone] itself is not an easy task. It is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Compared with these, most forces are more concerned about how to survive in this land where the weak and the strong eat the strong. Therefore, the magic crystal, Technologies such as alchemy and forging are the goals pursued by most forces."

After hearing what Jasmine said, the heads of the clan, including Chrissy, Fanny, and Broy, all nodded in agreement.

The other party is right. Whether it is magic crystal, or alchemy and forging technology, as long as it can be mass-produced, it can improve the overall strength and foundation of the force. This is much more useful than the [Stone of God].

"Then since you have known all this a long time ago, why haven't you obtained the truth of this world yet?"

Lei Xiao frowned slightly and asked again.

"The truth of the world? Oh, I understand, you are talking about the truth of the blank era, right? That's what the old diehards in my hometown call it."

Jasmine pondered for a moment, and then responded: "But those old die-hards don't seem to be interested in these. What they care more about is how to obtain more magic crystals, or forge a few magical weapons."

"Not interested? Don't they want to know the truth about the blank era?"

Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more and he asked.

"Maybe you are interested, I don't know, but what I know is that most of the races that were so prosperous back then were destroyed in the blank era, and only a few survivors were left lingering, and they had somehow forgotten everything. In this case , what can we, the orphans of all races, do to change?"

Jasmine shrugged and continued to respond: "Furthermore, most of the [God's Stones] are in the hands of each peak force. Although there are many conflicts between the peak forces, it is difficult to do anything to each other. Since If you can’t do anything to the other party, how can you get more [God’s Stones]?”

"This is indeed an endless cycle. Each force has a lot of [God's Stones] in its hands, but it is unable to obtain other forces' [God's Stones]?"

Lei Xiao heard the sound and nodded thoughtfully.

In this way, everything does make sense.

Suddenly enlightened, Lei Xiao asked again: "Then why don't you choose win-win cooperation?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. My forest elf... cough, my hometown is the one that truly stands at the top of all races. How could I lower my posture and ask for cooperation from others? Wouldn't that make those hairy monsters and birdmen look down on me? Not to mention those other guys who think they are orthodox."

Moli put her hands on her hips and raised her head and said, "Then, even if they take the initiative to cooperate, we are still worried about some conspiracy, how can we let them succeed?"

"It seems that the dwarves, winged people, and other elves think so too."

Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then thought of something again, and asked, "The last question, so you also knew that the source of the catastrophe was "eclipse" a long time ago?"

"This is surprising to me. I didn't expect that you have already guessed this point. This is something that even most second-rate forces don't know. "

Moli's voice revealed a hint of surprise, and she nodded and said, "Yes, when the prophecy appeared, we who had fought against "Eclipse" many times had already guessed it, and although other first-class forces did not say it, they probably knew it a long time ago."

"Since you know that a disaster that will sweep everything is about to come, you still don't choose to cooperate with each other?"

Lei Xiao's brows twisted into a knot and asked again.

"Anyway, I haven't seen any signs of cooperation, but I can be sure that we have been taking measures to deal with the catastrophe, but these are core secrets, and those old stubborn people will not tell me easily."

Moli shrugged and responded, "But you don't have to guess. Unless other first-class forces are willing to respect us, we will never share any information, let alone cooperate. "

As Jasmine finished speaking, the group was already close to the unknown ancient city. Under the reflection of the magic light ball, Lei Xiao could even clearly see the wall carvings engraved on the broken walls in front.

"Strange, this is not the remains of our dwarf elves."

After observing for a while, Broy couldn't help but show a trace of doubt on his face.

Whether from the architectural style or the wall carvings, it is obviously very different from the style of the ancient dwarf elves.

"It looks like it, but if that's the case, why is the teleportation array at the door from your hand?"

Jasmine frowned slightly, obviously realizing this.

After saying that, Jasmine sensed something again, and her fair face was full of awe, and she quickly said to Lei Xiao: "Wait, the situation has changed!" (End of this chapter)
