Chapter 448 Before the Abandoned Mine

When the three figures stood still one after another, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked.

It was the other three men in black robes wearing strange white masks, namely No. 23, No. 135 and No. 203.

Lei Xiao was no stranger to these numbers, they had also appeared before when he was in Phantom Mirage.

Judging from their slender and slender figures, both No. 23 and No. 135 are obviously women.

"From the other party's conversation just now, it is not difficult to see that these are all the personnel of the mysterious organization's exploration operation."

I saw Lei Xiao's eyes moving, he glanced back and forth at the men in black robes, and thought to himself.

"There are 13 people in total, including 2 fifth-tier powerhouses, whose strengths are respectively fifth-tier two-star and fifth-tier one-star."

Looking at the two figures exuding a monstrous aura, Lei Xiao's eyes were serious.

"And there are three fourth-tier powerhouses. If I remember correctly, Knotweed has reported that they are No. 23, Tier-4, Eight-Star, No. 40, Tier-4, Four-Star, and No. 51, Tier-4, Three-Star."

Lei Xiao's gaze lingered on the other men in black robes who were less imposing.

"As for the others, they are all at the peak of Tier 3, only No. 203, who ranks lower, is a Tier 3 seven-star."

Taking stock of the opponent's strength in his heart, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.

On the bright side, the opponent's overall strength is almost on par with his own.

But since Ye Cang Chaoyan and other five subordinates are not present at the scene, the opponent's strength obviously has an overwhelming advantage.

"If you keep Ye Cang and five people here, it is very likely that they will be noticed by the other party. There is no way to do this in order to covertly act."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, but did not show a trace of panic.

"I also have 18 third-tier peak ice knights, 24 earth guardians at the third-tier senior power level, and 2 sky guardians who are also at the third-tier senior power level."

"These golem puppets are enough to bridge the gap. Even if there is a head-on conflict, I won't be at a disadvantage."

Lei Xiao relieved a little, then nodded thoughtfully.

"Since these mysterious organization powerhouses are willing to take the lead, then according to my thinking just now, they will naturally follow behind and wait for an opportunity."

"After all, just outside the mysterious gate of immortality, there is a fifth-level magic prohibition seal. From this, it is not difficult to see that the possibility of a high-level guardian appearing inside the gate is almost a certainty."

After thinking about the next action plan, Lei Xiao's face immediately showed a hint of curiosity.

"I don't know what it looks like behind the mysterious gate of immortality, and what kind of scene is covered in dust. It's really exciting."

While thinking about it, Lei Xiao continued to pay attention to the development ahead.

As soon as No. 23 man in black robe stood still, he quickly took the other two men in black robe and took a step forward. He bowed and said, "I've met the seventh Lord Shura, I've seen the ninth Lord Shura!"

"23, you have such a big shelf."

The stooped No. 9 man in black flicked his sleeves and snorted disdainfully: "You actually made the two Shuras in the organization wait for such a long time. Once you delay the entire mission, do you think you can take on this responsibility?" ?"

"The two Asura-samas atone for their sins!"

Seeing that No. 9 man in black robe was provoking his master to question his guilt, No. 23 man in black robe quickly knelt down and said, "Your subordinate just noticed that there seems to be something abnormal in Gelin City, so there was a delay, and it was not intentional. "

"oh?"

The hostility emanating from the black-robed man No. 9 suddenly became stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "So, you are not wrong, but I am the one who is wrong?"

"Senior, don't be impatient."

I saw the man in black robe No. 7 waved his hand, stepped forward and said coldly: "No. 23, tell me, what happened, if it is really extenuating, the two of you will not be with you." Ordinary knowledge, otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my face and denying people.”

"Thank you two Lord Asura!"

No. 23 man in black robe still maintained his kneeling posture, tremblingly said: "Just now, my subordinates accidentally discovered that there seemed to be the aura of an unknown strong man in Gelin City. Because of the investigation, this delayed some time."

"On the 23rd, you mean that I am waiting for this action, and there is a risk of being discovered by unknown forces?"

The voice of the No. 7 black-robed man first revealed a touch of murderous intent, and then hesitantly said: "When I came here from the plain just now, I didn't notice any suspicious aura."

"Back to Master Seventh Shura, the topography of Gelin City is extremely complicated. Due to the barrier between the mountains and the city, it is not conducive to detection. This is also a reasonable thing."

No. 23 man in black didn't dare to look up, and explained prostrately: "In terms of perception alone, even if the strength is the same, compared with the strong outside the mountain, the advantage of the strong in the mountain is much greater."

"Don't talk about these pediatrics, since neither of us noticed, what did you notice?"

No. 9 man in black flicked his sleeves impatiently and asked in a deep voice.

"At that time, the subordinates and others had just come out of the room where the hidden magic circle was arranged, and they noticed that there seemed to be some strange and abnormal energy fluctuations in the city."

When No. 23 said this nervously, he shook his head helplessly and said, "However, these strange energies disappeared very quickly, so it took some time to perceive, and in the end there was still nothing."

On the opposite side of the cliff, Lei Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The unknown fluctuations in the other party's mouth obviously refer to Ye Cang and the other five.

However, all the strong men under his command have double concealment blessings of invisibility cloak and invisibility ring.

Even if the opponent's strength is slightly stronger, it is undoubtedly impossible to find the traces of Ye Cang and others in a large densely populated city like Gelin City.

"Tch, after all, it's still just a boring reason."

No. 9 man in black robe looked up and down with great interest on the slender body of man in black robe No. 23, and said in a deep voice: "23, as a relatively high-ranking powerhouse in the organization, you You should understand better than anyone else that, except for the dead, no one can reveal the slightest secret of the organization."

"This means that this operation we are waiting for will never be discovered by other forces, and your worries are unnecessary."

The voice of the man in black robe No. 9 became a little cold again, and continued: "So, how do you plan to make up for your mistake this time?"

After speaking, the eyes of the man in black robe No. 9 finally fell on the chest of man in black robe No. 23, and a playful smile slowly emerged behind the mask.

The man in black robe No. 23 was still trembling all over, not daring to make a sound.

"Senior, the current task is very important. As for other things, let's wait until the task is over."

The deep and hoarse voice of the No. 7 man in black came over again: "After all, in order to prepare for this operation with all our strength, the organization has temporarily slowed down the affairs of Fanyin City, and the seniors also came from a long way away, so we haven't done a good job yet. rested."

After a pause, the man in black robe No. 7 added: "As for No. 23, let's let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds for now. If it is confirmed afterwards that the other party is really making excuses, it will not be too late to deal with it."

"Forget it, since Master Seventh Shura has already spoken, let me spare you for now."

The man in black robe No. 9 slowly retracted his gaze, and said leisurely to man in black robe No. 7: "Don't worry, with the help of this great magister who is good at breaking magic barriers, everything will naturally be solved. .”

"At that moment, I will trouble the seniors."

The man in black robe No. 7 nodded, and immediately turned to No. 23. While raising his hand to signal him to get up, he asked coldly: "One more thing, I remember that there should be a newcomer in your team. Member, why isn't he here this time?"

"Back to Mr. Seventh Shura, No. 235 did not go to the agreed place as planned, and has been out of touch for a while."

No. 23, the black-robed man who had just stood up, hurriedly bowed and reported: "Originally, my subordinates sent No. 235 to Gelin City to investigate first, but there was no news from him, and this person has just passed the assessment period. Soon, the stone of life has not been bound, and life and death and positioning cannot be judged."

No. 23 shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Thus, this subordinate plans to report to Lord Shura after this exploration operation is over. However, since No. 235 also disappeared for a period of time before, so, The subordinates speculate that there must be some delay."

"Then just ignore this insignificant guy."

No. 7 black-robed man nodded thoughtfully, and ordered: "We must investigate carefully later. If this person is absent without reason, he must be severely punished."

Not far away, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

The number 235 mentioned by these two people is naturally Mu Tong who he killed in front of the Immortal Gate.

"It turns out that the powerhouses of these mysterious organizations are also bound to an item called the Stone of Life to judge life and death and find their whereabouts. This is a brand new discovery."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and continued to watch intently.

I saw the man in black robe No. 9, who was slightly hunched, took his own steps, and continued: "Okay, it's getting late, I'm waiting, should we start to act now?"

"Master Shura, the entrance is right behind here."

No. 23 man in black hurried forward and pointed at the entrance to the abandoned mine covered by rocks.

"This seat has already sensed it."

The pace of man in black robe No. 9 did not slow down, but came directly to the entrance.

Standing still in front of the entrance, No. 9 man in black waved his hand, and a black ball with a diameter of about two meters condensed in mid-air in an instant and flew towards the rocks at the entrance.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of black smoke came out.

The rocks that came into contact with the black ball began to dissolve rapidly, leaving only a foul-smelling black liquid that spread wantonly in the soil.

After a while, all the rocks blocking the entrance were completely dissolved, and the entrance to the abandoned mine was completely opened.

"Okay, let's start exploring, I can't wait."

After releasing the black giant ball, No. 9 man in black "Jie Jie" smiled, then casually pointed to No. 135 and No. 203 who came with No. 23 and said: "As for the two of you, just stay here and watch." door."

"Decree!"

No. 135 and No. 203 hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying in unison.

The man in black robe No. 9 nodded slightly, and took his own steps again.

"Senior, don't you need to set up an early warning barrier at the entrance to prevent someone from sneaking in secretly?"

Although he couldn't see the expression of No. 7 man in black robe, he could feel that his tone was obviously hesitant.

"Master Seventh Shura, what happened at the Fanyin City auction last time may have made you a little too sensitive. Just like what the old man said just now, we will never disclose the matter of our actions."

No. 9 black-robed man did not slow down his pace, and said leisurely: "Furthermore, even if the unknown fifth-order powerhouse was really found by the Lengyan royal family, so what?"

"As long as the two from the capital don't come out at the same time, there will be no problem. Besides, where is the power in this land that can compete with you and me?"

No. 9 black-robed man laughed contemptuously, waved his hands, and continued: "When the warning barrier is set up, I'm afraid you and I have already entered the gate of immortality, don't forget that time is precious, old man Still waiting to taste the little desserts that came from another world, Jie Jie."

"That's right, so be it."

The No. 7 man in black didn't say anything else, but made a forward gesture to the other powerful members of the mysterious organization, and also stepped into the entrance of the abandoned mine.

After a while, only No. 135 and No. 203 remained at the entrance of the cave. Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned again.

"It's no wonder that members of these mysterious organizations did not attack yesterday's Titan ruins. As I expected, they are planning and preparing for another operation."

"And this other operation is the current Gate of Immortality! It seems that they came prepared this time."

While rubbing his chin, Lei Xiao continued to frowned and thought.

"In addition, judging from the number and strength of the No. 9 black-robed man, there are not seven but at least nine fifth-order powerhouses of the mysterious organization."

"It can be seen from this that the opponent's strength is obviously stronger than what I speculated at the beginning."

On Lei Xiao's face, a look of awe-inspiring expression suddenly appeared, and his brows began to frown even more.

"Since I have seized such a good opportunity this time, it is natural to seize this opportunity. While taking away the treasure, we must reduce the opponent's combat power as much as possible."

"Especially that wretched No. 9 black-robed man, even if he is a fifth-order powerhouse, he is nothing more than a crispy mage in the final analysis. In addition, this guy is quite conceited, but it provides a lot of support for my next actions. Less convenient."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows slowly relaxed, and he muttered to himself: "From the conversation between the two, it can be heard that the man in black robe No. 9 obviously came from afar."

"It seems that there are currently no other fifth-order powerhouses of the magic system in the territory of the Cold Flame Kingdom."

"As for the fifth-level powerhouse in the physics department, besides the No. 7 black-robed man, it is temporarily unknown whether there are others."

"Now that I have a clear understanding of the current situation, let me follow in the footsteps of these mysterious organization powerhouses and see what is really going on inside the Immortal Gate."

Lei Xiao's gaze began to become deeper, and he thought to himself.
