Chapter 435 The Mottled Steel Forest

Accompanied by the entire exploration team, there are cautious and slightly ethereal footsteps.

Surrounded by Red Night and all the knights, Lei Xiao, Orr, Gail and old Calvin walked forward in the hidden space behind the God of War statue, the ancient ruins of the Titans.

After walking for about ten minutes, a huge and strange black figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"What it is?!"

This sudden scene made everyone's footsteps stagnate, and the entire exploration team immediately became tense.

With the help of the night vision effect of the pupil of the star, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and vaguely observed it.

The object in front is about seven or eight meters high, which is obviously much smaller than the Titan God of War statue just now.

Judging from the vague outline alone, it seems to be an oversized battle ax with the blade down and inserted into the floor tiles.

"Your Majesty, don't be too nervous."

Lei Xiao nodded to Orr, and then took his own steps.

"Understood."

Auer also followed Lei Xiao's footsteps and started to move forward again.

At this point, the exploration team of nearly 200 people moved again.

When the black ax-shaped outline entered the range of the search magic, Lei Xiao noticed further.

Just like what I saw just now, this is indeed a giant battle ax with the blade down and pierced into the ground.

I saw the dusty all-metal battle ax, reflecting mottled light, and it seemed that it had been left here for a long time.

This is a giant double-edged axe, except for the blade that is pierced into the ground.

On the rusty surface on the other side, there are a large number of clearly visible chipping marks, which are full of large and small gaps.

Even the upper half of the metal ax handle, which can be compared to a telephone pole, has obviously been cut off a lot, obviously after a fierce battle.

Needless to say, this giant battle ax with a length of seven or eight meters is exactly the weapon used by the Titans who are giants.

"It's interesting."

Looking up at the giant battle ax not far away, Lei Xiao was amazed and surprised to find it.

It turned out that the tomahawk stuck in the ground was not alone.

Not far behind this giant double-edged axe, there are still a large number of densely packed axes of all kinds.

Not only are there common battle axes such as poleaxes, hatchets, throwing axes, and double-edged axes, but you can even see giant hammers the size of trucks.

All in all, it can be said to have everything that one expects to find, at least hundreds of them.

The extremely spectacular scene was like a forest of battle axes composed of many giant axes, which made people feel awe-inspiring and shocked.

Just like the first giant double-edged ax I saw at the beginning, almost all the surface of the battle ax is covered with large and small chipping marks, and most of them have rusted and turned black.

Therefore, it may be more appropriate to use the mottled steel forest to describe everything in front of us.

"What a spectacular picture..."

Looking at the shocking scene in front of her, Tiya, who was following closely behind Lei Xiao, had her vermilion lips slightly parted on her delicate face under the knight helmet, full of surprise.

And the other knights and elite soldiers also let out endless exclamations, almost unable to believe their eyes.

The lost ruins, the rusted giant ax forest, the extremely exquisite ancient wall carvings...all of these seem to describe the same ancient story that has been obliterated by time, which is fascinating and curious.

While everyone was shocked, the entire exploration team had already arrived in front of this steel forest.

Looking up at another rusty long-handled ax that was more than ten meters high, with half of the giant ax blade cut off, Lei Xiao couldn't help but took a deep breath, his face full of awe.

This mottled picture is indeed silently telling an unknown history.

And the main theme of this unknown history is war and legend, and perhaps bravery, friendship and passion.

It is conceivable that this Titan clan obviously experienced an extremely tragic war back then, and all of this has long been forgotten by time.

"Speaking of which, why are there so many Titan weapons here?"

The city lord Orr, who was also shocked, couldn't help but wondered after he calmed down a little.

"Unfortunately, there is no relevant record in the ancient books, but these giant axes are obviously honed by the war, and none of them are intact. It is obviously not an equipment warehouse..."

Calvin stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully: "In addition to this hidden space, it is located behind the statue of the God of War in the temple. If the old man predicts correctly, it should be some kind of sacrificial place."

"Sacrifice place?"

On the face of the city lord Orr, the look of doubt became more and more obvious, and he muttered to himself: "Sacrificing weapons? It's really a strange custom."

"This is the Hall of Valor of the Titans, or the ancestral temple of the Titans."

After getting Lei Xiao's permission, Hong Ye embraced her arms, stepped forward and said calmly, "What is sacrificed is not weapons, but the powerful Titans who once owned these weapons."

"Hall of Valor?"

Hearing this awe-inspiring term, everyone's eyes of awe and curiosity focused on Hong Ye who was dressed in red.

"Your Excellency, do you know the origin of this place? Can you explain in detail?"

The old magician Calvin's old face was full of anticipation and curiosity, and he blurted out eagerly.

"The so-called Hall of Valor is the place where the Titans, the patriarchs and powerhouses of the past generations worshiped."

After getting Lei Xiao's permission again, Hong Ye explained lightly: "The Titans are a race where the strong are respected, and only the strongest of each generation will become the absolute leader of the clan, not like other Like most races, what matters is blood."

"According to the tradition of the Titans, after many battles of blood and fire, the weapons in their hands have already become an inseparable part of their bodies. In other words, these battle axes inserted into the ground are equivalent to these The tombstones of the powerful Titans."

I saw Hong Ye casually caressing the face of the giant mottled battle ax in front of him, and said: "The ones who are qualified to store weapons here are all well-known top powerhouses of the Titan clan."

Looking at the mottled steel forest in front of him, Hong Ye's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and continued: "Back then, I had seen another Hall of Valor of the Titans. The scale there was much larger than this one, but the storage Even after a long time, their weapons are still as clean as new, shining with a dazzling cold light."

"As for the many weapons here, you have already seen it, but it is a completely different scene."

"From this, it is not difficult to see that the place suffered a huge catastrophe that year, so that there was no time to maintain the weapons. This can also be proved by the fact that these weapons were seriously damaged."

Hong Ye took a deep breath, and said with a dignified expression: "The weapons that can make the powerful Titans suffer such a devastating blow, their enemies back then are obviously very terrifying."

"An unknown and terrifying enemy? I didn't expect the Titans to have such a custom."

The old magician Calvin's old face was still full of surprise and shock, he hurriedly took out a parchment from his pocket, and began to record.

While everyone was talking, Lei Xiao had already come to the side of a giant battle axe, and tentatively opened the attribute bar of the weapon.

Immediately afterwards, a translucent interface that only Lei Xiao could see appeared in front of him.

"Sure enough, the attribute bar can be opened."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and began to check.

[Name: Broken Titan Axe] [Original: Roar of the Brave]

[Grade: Damaged] [Original: Tier 4 Epic (Purple)]

[Attack Strength: Corrupted] [Original: ★★★★★]

[Additional Effect 1: Damaged] [Original: Magic Quenching [Physical Penetration Increased by 50%]

[Additional Effect 2: Damaged] [Original: Power of the Wind Spirit "Slightly Increases Movement Speed"]

[Remarks: The weapon of a certain Tier 4 Titan clan powerhouse, when facing the attack of a powerful opponent, this Titan clan powerhouse, together with the long-handled ax in his hand, was chopped into two pieces. 】

After reading this handle, Lei Xiao opened another handle next to him without hesitation.

[Name: Damaged Titan Double-edged Ax] [Original: Dawn of the Brave]

[Grade: Damaged] [Original: Tier 5 Extraordinary (Silver)]

[Attack Strength: Damaged] [Original: ★★★★★★]

[Additional Effect 1: Damaged] [Original: Scorching Flame "When hitting the target, additional burning effect"]

[Additional Effect 2: Damaged] [Original: Titan Alloy "Physical Penetration Increased by 90%"]

[Remarks: The weapon of a certain fifth-tier Titan clan powerhouse, facing the siege of a powerful opponent dozens of times his own, this experienced Titan clan powerhouse finally died of exhaustion. 】

"Even the fifth-order powerhouse is doomed?"

After closing the attribute bar again, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully while being surprised.

Just like what Hong Ye said just now, this Titan clan did encounter an extremely powerful enemy back then, and the advantage held by the opponent was overwhelming.

"How do you feel that what happened to the Titans is somewhat similar to the ruins of the elf city next to Shen Banxia's territory and the situation in the human barrier area on the wing of Shuiyue City?"

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.

"After the confirmation of Jiang Li, Ye Cang and others, it has been confirmed that the above two locations were hit by an unknown enemy during the blank era, which led to their final disappearance in the torrent of history."

"And if this lost Titan family was also destroyed in the blank era three thousand years ago, then a contradiction will appear."

Looking at the mottled giant ax blade in front of him, Lei Xiao frowned even more.

"After all, another unknown ruin not far from this Titan ruin has been confirmed to have been destroyed in the Blank Era."

"And just as I thought before, the Titans are an extremely unsociable and violent race. It is absolutely impossible to build their own buildings next to other races, let alone allow the buildings of other races. , so close to myself."

"If these two ancient ruins were both destroyed in the blank age, then the only reasonable explanation I thought of before, the possibility that the two are not in the same age, is completely denied."

"Then, the old question from before has reappeared. Why are these two completely irrelevant ancient ruins so close?"

Lei Xiao, whose head was full of question marks, while being confused, signaled Orr and the others to explore separately, while surrounded by the red night, the knotweed hidden under the cloak, and Ye Cang, began to explore in the mottled steel forest. , pacing slowly.

During the walk, Lei Xiao was able to fully confirm it by asking Hong Ye.

According to the weakening degree of those cyan magic circles just now, Hong Ye can accurately judge.

This ancient ruins of the Titans was indeed destroyed in the blank age three thousand years ago.

"Is that really the case? It's really puzzling that two ancient ruins that should never be adjacent to each other come together strangely."

Lei Xiao nodded silently in his heart, and then said to Hong Ye: "As for the specific matter, let's talk about it when we go back."

Lei Xiao clearly understood that, as a dragon with a long lifespan, it was still unknown what new clues Hong Ye might have in that unknown blank age.

Leaving all doubts behind for the time being, Lei Xiao cheered up and refocused his attention on the damaged and mottled battle axes around him.

By checking the attribute columns one by one, Lei Xiao found out further.

After a long time of baptism, although there is no significant difference between these mottled giant axes on the surface, there is actually a gap.

Among them, there are no weapons below the third level, and the lowest level is also at the fourth level, and it occupies the majority. Only about one-fifth of the weapons have reached the fifth level.

From the notes on the weapons, it can be seen that the users of Tier 4 weapons are all above Tier 4 level, while the users of Tier 5 weapons must be at Tier 5 level.

"In other words, do these nearly a hundred damaged weapons represent at least 20 or so fifth-tier powerhouses of the Titan clan, and about 80 or so fourth-tier powerhouses of the Titan clan? It is impossible to escape the fate of being destroyed."

Realizing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart.

Just like that, Lei Xiao, surrounded by Hong Ye and others, stopped and walked all the way.

After walking around in this steel forest, I found that there was not even a single intact weapon here.

Out of curiosity, Lei Xiao learned about it by asking Hong Ye.

Because the Titans have a tradition of using ancestral weapons in times of crisis, hoping that their ancestors will give them strength.

Therefore, this is not abnormal. On the contrary, it can be seen from the side that this place was indeed cornered back then.

"Okay, let's continue the investigation."

After learning this, Lei Xiao collected himself and slowly took his own steps.

Not long after, when Lei Xiao came to the end of the steel forest and opened the attribute bar of the last giant axe, a look of astonishment appeared on his originally calm face.
