Chapter 1174 The Truth Behind the Time-Reversal Ritual
In the extremely dark square, the sudden lightning flashed and reflected a calm face, it was Lei Xiao.
"?!"
Feeling the strong sense of oppression and fierce murderous aura coming from behind, the black-robed man No. 19 was terrified and wanted to fly out and distance himself first.
However, before he could make a move, there was a loud "boom". In the flash of thunder, he and the skeleton staff had turned into a lifeless charcoal on the ground, with thick smoke billowing around them.
Seeing this sudden scene, the sneers that had not yet dissipated from the corners of the mouths of other brotherhood strongmen around them suddenly solidified, and their eyeballs bulged out, looking unbelievable.
But before they could react, figures emitting vast momentum fell from the sky one by one, and stood in front of them like a giant peak.
Terrified screams followed, accompanied by one after another of vast energy waves. These Brotherhood warriors were soon torn into pieces like rag bags, and their crooked heads fell to the ground, leaving only a pair of terrified turbid eyes that were slowly dilating.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and when the trembling lords came to their senses, those Brotherhood warriors who were once like demons had been completely wiped out and fell in a pool of blood.
"This...?!"
The lords had never seen such a bloody and terrible scene, and their faces were pale, and they clung to each other.
Especially under the influence of the vast momentum, many lords even sat down on the ground, struggling to get up.
Until an excited voice sounded: "Boss Xiaoshen, it's Boss Xiaoshen!"
Li Fan squeezed out of the crowd with great effort, his sallow face was full of excitement, and he shouted: "Boss Xiaoshen came to save us!"
As Lei Xiao's reputation spread throughout the human countries, Li Fan, as a member of the Xiaoshen Group, naturally had seen Lei Xiao's appearance from the magic portrait a long time ago.
"It's really Boss Xiaoshen! Boss Xiaoshen came to save us!"
Hearing Li Fan's shout, the other members of the Xiaoshen Group also squeezed to the front, and their malnourished and skinny faces were full of ecstasy, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
"Thank you very much, Boss Xiaoshen! Thank you very much, Boss Xiaoshen!"
At this point, the lords burst into cheers again and again. Many lords, after surviving the disaster, cried with joy and kept expressing their gratitude and respect to Lei Xiao.
"It's good that everyone is fine. As long as I am here, no one can threaten you in the slightest."
Lei Xiao frowned as he looked at the excited but weathered faces and the dim blood-red magic circle still remaining on the ground.
If he had come a step later, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Lei Xiao ordered Jiang Xi to break the blood-red magic circle on the ground, while focusing his attention on the red objects that were still wriggling behind the lords.
Although Lei Xiao didn't know what they were, the fishy smell and strange energy fluctuations that kept pouring into his nose showed that they were obviously disgusting evil things.
"Hong Ye, burn all those red things into nothingness immediately."
Lei Xiao didn't hesitate and ordered the dragon woman next to him.
"As you command, Lord."
Hong Ye was surrounded by flames, and flew away at high speed. Under Lei Xiao's order, the others, including Tiger Stick, took the lords to the side to rest.
When the blood-red magic circle and those disgusting evil things turned into ashes, Lei Xiao walked towards the lords again.
When he got close, Lei Xiao looked at the lords in tattered clothes, and waved his hand casually, and a large amount of daily supplies such as food and water emerged. The sallow and thin lords kept swallowing their saliva, with eager expressions on their faces.
After instructing Tiger Stick and other subordinates to distribute the supplies, Lei Xiao said again: "Who can tell me what happened here?"
Hearing Lei Xiao's question, the crowd immediately responded enthusiastically, and several members of the Warrior God Group were immediately elected.
"Boss Xiaoshen, my name is Li Fan, and I am the secretary of the 24th Xiaoshen Regiment."
The leading male lord held the soft meat floss bread and orange juice, and said with gratitude: "Thank you again for saving me, Boss Xiaoshen!"
After that, Li Fan knelt on the ground with several other members of the Xiaoshen Regiment, expressing his gratitude.
When the other lords saw this scene, they all made the same action, causing lines of hot tears to drip on the delicious food they had just received.
"Hurry up, your strength and perseverance are the source of your rescue, I just went with the flow."
Lei Xiao bent down to help Li Fan up, and smiled slightly.
"Boss Xiaoshen, it is really an honor to be a member of the Xiaoshen Regiment."
Excited, Li Fan tried to calm down as much as possible, and described his experience in detail to Lei Xiao.
Listening to Li Fan's story, not only Lei Xiao's face became more solemn, but even Catherine, Louise and the stone elves beside him opened their eyes wide, with surprised expressions on their faces.
"So this is the truth of the "Reverse Time Ceremony"? I didn't expect that the servants who were just summoned and hadn't even seen their masters would directly become the nutrients of those evil things."
After listening to Li Fan's description, Lei Xiao's forehead was faintly blue.
"That's right, Mr. Xiaoshen, many of the lords' companions even went crazy because they couldn't accept this, and they quickly became part of the nutrient."
Li Fan kneaded the soft bread into a piece of hard dough, his body trembling constantly: "But we are still surviving until today."
"It is precisely because you are still here that I can know the truth of the matter."
Lei Xiao nodded to Li Fan and other lords, and said sternly: "And the truth you tell will also become part of the path to victory for all of us. This will save more innocent people. They are all because of you." They saved their lives.”
After comforting Li Fan and other lords, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
Although I had thought about many kinds of "time-reverse rituals", I never expected that it would have such a heinous result.
"It turns out that those hateful "rebels" are all hatched from these disgusting red pupae? "
Louise tightened her eyebrows and said with anger on her face: "The other party really does everything possible."
"This is even worse than the most disgusting forbidden magic."
Catherine also frowned, and soon a trace of doubt appeared on her fair face, and she said: "But with more than a thousand second-level subordinates summoned by more than a thousand lords every day, how can it be possible to produce so many "reverse forces" every day? only"? "
"I'm afraid they are relying on not only the slaves, but also the extra energy generated when summoning the slaves."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then explained: "When the lords use the recruitment order to summon subordinates, a golden portal will be generated. I am afraid that is the key energy used by the opponent."
"So that's it. I didn't expect that mysterious existence to be able to use this kind of power. It's really unfathomable."
Catherine nodded thoughtfully, her face becoming more solemn.
"But Lord, how did the other party produce "rebels" before these lords were captured? Like the group we met at the beginning? "
Huzhang asked Lei Xiao with a puzzled look on his face.
"Remember those believers who disappeared inexplicably all over the Kingdom of Grim?"
Lei Xiao frowned and responded: "I'm afraid it's because the efficiency of those believers in converting the "rebels" was too low, so the other party finally turned to the lords. "
"Your Highness, are you saying that all the missing people of the Kingdom of Grim have become victims of this forbidden technique?!"
When White and other generals who had just arrived heard this, they looked at each other with pale faces.
They had also investigated all this in secret many times, but due to the obstruction of the Grim royal family, they finally came to nothing.
Although I don't want to believe it, judging from the current situation, this is indeed the only answer.
In a mixture of grief and anger, these Grim generals clenched their fists, and their hatred for their opponents increased even more.
"I have to say, those bastards who are sanctimonious on the surface are simply abominable."
Louise nodded heavily, and then said with confusion on her face: "Speaking of which, how did the other party use these disgusting red objects to produce "rebels"? "
"Although I don't know the specific steps of the other party, I can be sure that the life source of those "rebels" must be indispensable. "
Wu's expression was solemn, and he said: "It is by using the origin of life as the basis that the opponent reshaped the bodies of the "rebels". "
"This gentleman is right. For three thousand years, the Temple of Light has always been on the front line against evil and taboos. This is undeniable."
White's old face was full of complex expressions, and he shook his head helplessly and said: "If it is the Temple of Light, it is indeed easy to obtain the life source of a large number of dark powerhouses."
"Then it makes perfect sense. The Temple of Light must have collected the source of life just to prevent those evil spirits from reappearing in the world, but unexpectedly it became a weapon used by that mysterious existence."
Seeing that the lords had stabilized, Lei Xiao nodded to everyone and said, "Let's continue searching here to see if there are any other clues."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the powerful men nodded in agreement and began to take action separately.
Lei Xiao returned to the lords and told them that he would arrange for White and other soldiers to protect them and find a way to get the lords to leave as soon as possible.
There are many lords in the Xiaoshen group who have various territorial movement talents, such as Lin Chuan and others. It is obviously not a problem for them to move these lords.
As for the curses carried by these lords, Lei Xiao already knew something about it.
It's just that the lords are obviously not able to resist with their own strength like Xiaojie, so it is difficult to completely defeat Lei Xiao's divine power alone.
However, as long as the mysterious existence as the culprit can be successfully eliminated, everything will naturally be solved.
After receiving comfort from Lei Xiao, the lords all stabilized and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Lei Xiao again.
Amidst the thanks from the lords, Lei Xiao kept smiling, but his heart was still clouded.
Although they found the truth about the "Reverse Time Ceremony", rescued the lords trapped here, and destroyed the scene of the opponent's "Reverse Time Ceremony" in one fell swoop, two key issues remained unresolved.
First, there is still no trace of the 30 Heroic Spirit Legions.
Second, I have not found a way to leave this underground city yet.
In addition, according to Li Fan and other lords, there are at least nearly a hundred "rebels" born here, but we have eliminated only a limited number.
This undoubtedly means that the other party still has a large number of top combat forces in their hands, which may pose a fatal threat to us at any time.
"The most critical thing is that under the premise that the other party's "Sacred Plan" has been officially launched, I don't have much time left."
Lei Xiao just thought of this in his heart, and Hong Ye's slender body flashed out, patting his chest and saluting: "My Lord, I have found a new passage ahead, but I don't know where it leads to. The Scarlet Queen has already checked it out."
"Very good, no matter where it leads to, we have no way to retreat."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, nodded to Hong Ye and said: "Take me there quickly."
"Yes, Lord. "
Hong Ye touched his chest and saluted, then he galloped to the front.
Under Hong Ye's guidance, Lei Xiao passed through this dark lord town and flew straight to the end of the underground space.
During this process, Lei Xiao noticed.
There are also traces of energy from several strange teleportation arrays, all of which have just been closed.
It is not difficult to see that the enemy on the other side of the array obviously keenly noticed our arrival, and finally closed it.
Accompanied by a gust of wind, Lei Xiao's figure paused, and soon stopped in front of a new passage.
There is no metal door blocking here, only the deep and dark cave entrance extends to the depths of the tunnel.
"Your Highness, I and the True Ancestor have checked it, and there are no traces of magic traps here."
Catherine, who was waiting at the entrance of the cave, stepped forward, nodded slightly and said: "It's just that at the other end of the passage..."
Just halfway through the words, Catherine said with a puzzled and puzzled look on her face: "Forget it, Your Highness, you should see it yourself."
"I'll go in now. "
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and took a step forward surrounded by the crowd.
He walked forward in the dark and damp passage. When Lei Xiao came to the end of the passage with ancient dust, he opened his eyes involuntarily.
This is still an extremely vast dark space, and you can hardly see the end at a glance.
But what is surprising is that everything here is actually upside down.
I saw a majestic black castle hanging upside down on the top of the cave, just like a huge and weird black bat, suddenly appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
