Chapter 442: Hermitage

Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao walked out of the passage while looking around.

This new hidden area is no less than the cave covered with magic moss just now. On the left and right sides, there is a pool of extremely muddy swamps.

The middle part is a road paved with gravel, leading directly to a stone gate in the front.

"Sure enough, there is no other world."

Lei Xiao's eyes moved, and finally landed on the muddy area not far away, muttering to himself: "I didn't expect there to be a swamp."

"My lord, there are faint energy fluctuations in these two swamps, and there is obviously an energy supply magic circle below."

I saw Hong Ye took a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "It seems that those high-level golem puppets who were guardians just ran out from here."

"The clay warrior and the swamp in the cave? Interesting."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to observe.

Through this period of understanding, Lei Xiao has clearly understood.

Whether it is in ancient ruins with a long history, hidden mountain caves, or in enchanted areas, golem puppets as guardians, although their shapes and functions are different, there are no more than two ways to appear.

The first is charging type.

That is to say, what we have seen so far is that the continuous supply of magic power from the energy supply magic circle that has already been set up will allow these golem puppets that can only last for a period of time to exist for a long time.

I have seen a similar situation in the enchantment area of ​​the winged people before.

The second type is called.

For example, the summoning magic circle that I just saw in the ruins of the Titans this morning.

This magic circle, which can summon golem puppets in real time, will be automatically triggered after sensing the presence of the target.

As long as the summoned golem puppets are not destroyed after the battle, they can be automatically disassembled in the magic circle again to wait for the next call, which is very miraculous.

Of course, no matter whether it is the first or the second type, they all need to have the support of a self-contained energy supply magic circle to ensure that they are always on standby for a long time.

Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, he saw an awe-inspiring look on Hong Ye's delicate face, and he reminded Lei Xiao, "My lord, there seems to be something wrong with the stone gate ahead."

"My lord, my subordinates have also discovered it."

The knotweed also had a serious look on his face, and then nodded.

Hu Zhang's words had just finished, before Lei Xiao could speak.

The huge stone gate at the end of the front suddenly began to tremble violently.

While the surrounding stones were scattered and cracked, the sound of "rumbling" stone friction sounded one after another.

Not long after, the left and right facades of the stone gate turned into two heavy stone knights who were at least three meters high. Riding on tall stone horses, they began to charge towards the crowd crazily.

Judging from the powerful aura that the two continue to exude, it is obvious that both of them have reached the fourth-order level.

For a moment, the whole cave was shaken, and the scene was quite astonishing.

In such a narrow space, facing the charge of two fourth-order golem puppet heavy knights, it is enough to cause an ordinary expedition team caught off guard to suffer heavy losses, or even wipe out the entire army!

It's a pity that the other party met Lei Xiao.

"Hong Ye, Knotweed, kill these two menacing guys."

Lei Xiao still didn't change his face, he waved his hands casually.

"Obey! Your lord!"

The two fifth-rank powerhouses stroked their chests in salute, and disappeared in front of Lei Xiao in a blink of an eye.

In mid-air, accompanied by a sword and a claw, two piercing cold lights flashed past.

The two stone-heavy knights who attacked madly turned into a pile of rubble and were completely annihilated in the air.

"Lord, this is the weapon dropped by the two stone giants just now."

In the blink of an eye, Hu Zhang and Hong Ye had already returned to Lei Xiao, handing over a gleaming tomahawk and an equally extraordinary lance.

"It's actually two fourth-tier weapons... It's the first time I've seen a golem puppet equipped with a real weapon."

Lei Xiao casually put the two trophies into the space bracelet, and nodded thoughtfully.

For myself who has no shortage of equipment, this is a new way of strengthening strength.

"I'll try it later to see if I can equip the Guardian of the Earth with better weapons. As for the upgrade of these two weapons, we'll wait until the exploration is complete."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, surrounded by his subordinates, he started to move forward again.

"The stone-type golem puppets have relatively high spell resistance, while the clay figurine warriors just now are not afraid of physical attacks. In addition, the two stone knights were equipped with weapons. This cave is a bit interesting, really. One can't help but wonder who the master behind it is."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with great interest, the group of people walked through the gravel path and came to the end of the cave.

Looking at the new passage ahead, Lei Xiao smiled slightly at his subordinates and said, "Since the giant stone gate blocking here has already been caught in a trap, let's take a good look at what is hidden behind. What a scene."

After speaking, Lei Xiao took the steps of his own exploration.

Walking straight into this new passage, it didn't take long before the eyes of the group of nine people suddenly became clear again.

This time, what appeared in front of everyone was a rather spacious stone hall.

I saw that this stone hall was only about 30 to 40 square meters. Judging from the neatly repaired corners, it was obvious that it had been carefully polished.

To the left of the doorway stood a low, empty stone display case.

On both sides of the showcase, there is a small stone bench, and on one of the stone benches, there is a wooden product similar to a shovel.

"What is this?"

Bai Wei walked towards the stone bench curiously, carefully picked up the small shovel on the bench, and put it in front of her nose to smell it.

Immediately afterwards, a painful expression of one hundred thousand points of damage appeared on her fair face, and she said to Lei Xiao, "Master, this seems to be a shoehorn..."

"It looks like it should have been polished by hand."

Looking at Bai Wei's almost fainting expression, Lei Xiao suppressed his laughter and said with a smile: "Bai Wei, it seems that you found a shoe cabinet."

"Your lord is right, this is indeed a shoe cabinet."

Ye Cang also came up to him, pushed the golden eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said in a deep voice, "Judging from the thick dust on it, it's obvious that it hasn't been used for a long time."

After a detailed investigation, Lei Xiao made a further discovery.

In this stone hall, apart from the dusty old-fashioned taste, there is only the shoe cabinet and another simple decoration similar to a coat rack.

And in the front and two sides of the hall, there is also a small stone door.

"Go in and have a look."

Lei Xiao nodded to his subordinates, and with the lead of Hu Zhang and Hong Ye, he opened the door on the left first.

This is a slightly smaller stone house than before, except for a dusty single stone bed and a large stone cabinet, there is nothing worth noting.

"My lord, isn't this just an ordinary bedroom?"

After walking around the house, Chaoyan twitched her little nose, blinked her big eyes and said, "Sure enough, no one has lived here for a long time."

"Let's go to the other two rooms and have a look."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and retreated from the room.

After some inspections, Lei Xiao found out.

The other two rooms are a study with only stone bookshelves and stone chairs, and a bathroom connected to the water source in the cave. They all look extremely ordinary.

Inside, it was still covered with a lot of dust, and except for the only stone furniture left, it was all empty, and there was no useful clue to be found.

"My lord, this place seems to be a deserted hermitage."

After walking out of the bathroom, Ye Cang pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and pondered: "From the layout of the bedroom, it can be judged that there was only one hermit here, but the clues in the room are extremely limited, and it is impossible to judge Hermit's strength and other useful information."

"My lord, my subordinates think so too."

Hong Ye took a step forward, and reported sassyly: "The subordinates have used the detection technique to investigate carefully just now, and there are no other secret doors or magic traps here."

"I thought I could find something amazing here!"

Chaoyan's black eyebrows were slightly lowered, and she pursed her lips and said, "I didn't expect it to be just a hermit cave abandoned by others!"

"But there is one thing that is puzzling."

Bai Wei's fair face was full of puzzlement, and she asked in confusion, "Since there is nothing here, why are there so many powerful golem puppets to guard the periphery?"

"Judging from the current situation, there is only one answer, and that is that this hermit cave seems to have some extraordinary and special meaning to the unidentified hermit."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment with his brows fixed, rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "If it's not what I expected, that mysterious hermit, although his whereabouts are unknown now, will definitely return here again."

"The Lord Lord's analysis is very reasonable."

Ye Cang wrapped his arms around his chest, and added: "As a hermit who doesn't want to contact outsiders, this is undoubtedly his residence. Although he travels far away, no one wants to see it. During the time when you are away, in your own residence, you will randomly come to uninvited guests, right?"

"So that's the case, I understand!"

On Bai Wei's exquisite face, suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of worry appeared on her fair cheeks: "Although I don't know the specific strength of the mysterious hermit, judging from the situation of those golem puppets, he must be a high-ranking person. If the other party returns , what should we do if we found out that we have been here before?"

"That's nothing to worry about."

Lei Xiao waved his hand to signal Bai Wei not to be nervous, and said with a faint smile, "Although this place is not very far away from the territory in the forest, since the other party has chosen to live in seclusion in such a high mountain, even if he returns, it is impossible for him to be here again." Discover the territory in the forest for the first time."

"After all, the territory still has the disguise of the Tower of Illusion, and even the fifth-order powerhouse cannot directly observe it with the naked eye."

In Lei Xiao's eyes, a hint of sternness appeared involuntarily, and he continued: "Again, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, since I have discovered this secluded place, naturally I won't ignore it."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the pterosaur knight captain at the side, and ordered: "Sean, the five lairs that have been built should be inhabited by those unowned sky pterosaurs. As for the lairs of your mount dragons and For your temporary residence, you can choose a hidden place a little farther away, and this place will be monitored by you and the ownerless pterosaurs for the time being."

Hearing Lei Xiao's order, Xiao En immediately stroked his chest and saluted: "I obey! Please rest assured, my lord."

For Xiao En and other pterosaur knights who grew up with the pterosaurs in the sky, they can easily understand the meaning expressed by the pterosaurs in the sky, and they can also communicate routinely.

Therefore, it is indeed an excellent way to let these unowned sky pterosaurs monitor this place.

Even if the other party finds out, they won't be suspicious. After all, it's not uncommon for the firmament pterosaur to nest in such a precipitous area.

"If there is any change here, be sure to report to me as soon as possible."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and gave another instruction.

After arranging everything properly, a trace of curiosity appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

"I don't know what race and occupation that mysterious hermit is? What level of strength has he reached? It really makes people wonder, who is the sacred person who lives in seclusion here."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"No matter what, if the other party is willing to obey, it's fine. If the other party is stubborn, then you can only try your best to completely erase it."

"After all, there are nearly a thousand direct subordinates and two subordinate races in and around the territory. I will never let them be threatened by this potential threat."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and said to the subordinates: "Let's leave here first, getting two Tier 4 weapons is already a big gain, and when the master returns, maybe we can get other meanings." Unexpected surprises are still unknown."

"Obey! Your lord!"

All the subordinates around Lei Xiao bowed and responded in unison.

Returning all the way along the original road, he left this hidden cave, and Lei Xiao, who had just returned to the outside, noticed it.

The sky above was completely dark.

Surrounded by two silver-white half-moons, the stars twinkled and the deep and shining night sky made people feel refreshed.

"Sean, you all come here."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, and greeted the other nine pterodactyl knights who had been guarding the door.

After the ten pterodactyl knights lined up, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and the surroundings suddenly became brighter.
