Chapter 598 The Silent Army

Next, under the command of Lei Xiao.

A group of people went through a series of targeted attempts and observations in this never-ending underground tunnel.

In the end, he successfully used his own mirror image as a guidepost to find the end-to-end junction of the passage mentioned just now.

"So that's it. Is this the effect of magical resonance between the mirror image and the hidden back door?"

Looking at the mirror image that was exuding white fluorescence, as if suddenly received some strong interference, sometimes it became illusory, and sometimes it returned to normal, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

It has to be said that such a spectacle, in this dark green cave, still has a hazy sense of fantasy.

"It's time to open the hidden back door here and open the way out."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao nodded to Hong Ye who just took off the invisibility cloak and said: "Let's start to act."

"As you order, my lord."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, the tall Hong Ye took a step forward with her long legs and stood between the mirror image and the cave wall next to her.

Next, with the movement of Hong Ye's slender fingers, a standard six-pointed star was drawn in midair.

While the magic energy particles in the air surged, a small fiery red magic circle the size of a washbasin instantly condensed into shape and floated in front of Hong Ye.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Ye turned her fingers into palms and pushed forward lightly.

The magic circle shining red was slowly drifting towards the cave wall.

When there was about two punches between the red magic circle floating in midair and the cave wall emitting green light, there was a sudden stagnation, and a strong wave of energy swept out immediately.

While scraping everyone's clothes and robes rattling, even the small puddles on the ground were all blown away.

In the midst of mist, the dazzling red magic circle seemed to be in a fierce gladiatorial fight with an invisible and powerful opponent. It had been stalemate in mid-air, sometimes advancing half an inch, and sometimes retreating half an inch.

There is no doubt that this obviously touched the defense measures on the hidden back door.

Just when the two are coming and going, when there is a stalemate.

On the other side, the magical resonance has entered a white-hot stage.

I saw the mirror images of our side who had been standing still, their bodies were sometimes full of light, and sometimes dimmed rapidly. After a few back and forth, the originally solid figures began to become more and more ethereal.

Moreover, as the figures of the mirror images on one's own side dimmed, the red magic circle cast by Hong Ye took advantage of the situation to move forward.

When the more brilliant fiery red magic circle was only half a fist away from the dark green cave wall.

Click...

Accompanied by a crisp sound of glass shattering.

A transparent crack visible to the naked eye began to emerge out of thin air in front of the magic circle, and then spread rapidly to the surroundings like a spider web.

Seeing this scene, Hong Ye, who was concentrating on manipulating the magic circle, raised her eyebrows and suddenly increased the output of magic power.

In the next second, more intense "click" sounds sounded in the quiet cave one after another.

In an instant, a strong wind swept out, blowing away the witch hat on someone's head at the same time.

Finally, the crumbling transparent wall full of cracks suddenly shattered, and then turned into little transparent fragments, which slowly fell down.

At the same time, the magic circle cast by Hong Ye and the mirror image of the group of people also quickly dimmed, and together with the falling transparent fragments, they finally merged into the air and disappeared completely.

For a moment, everything was quiet in the entire crypt, which was very different from the stormy scene just now. Of course, someone also took small steps and secretly picked up his witch hat.

"My lord, the defensive barrier has been broken. Next, the subordinate will open the hidden back door."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao again, Hong Ye's slender fingers continued to tap in mid-air.

Accompanied by one after another fiery red hexagram magic circles emerged one after another.

In front of the group of people, three chaotic rifts more than one meter long had already torn apart the space out of thin air and expanded rapidly, causing the surrounding space to distort, and the wind blew up again.

In a short while, three chaotic vortexes in the shape of gates appeared in front of the group of people.

"Good guy, this is the first time I've seen three space-time tunnels appearing at the same time."

When the momentum around him died down, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise.

At a glance, the portal in the center is the largest, while the ones on the left and right are slightly smaller.

Other than that, there is no other difference.

"My lord, my subordinates have already sensed it. The portal in the center is the normal exit to the outside world, while the other two small doors lead to two other distorted spaces similar to this one."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye smiled faintly and continued to explain: "Moreover, the ones opened by the subordinates are all one-way space-time channels, which will not cause any people outside the space to notice."

After a pause, Hong Ye added: "The most important thing is that in the process of generating magical resonance just now, with the help of those mirror images, the subordinates have fully mastered the skills of finding and opening the magic back door here. After that, even if there is no mirror image With help, we can come and go freely here."

"very perfect."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao first patted Hong Ye's shoulder lightly as a sign of encouragement, and then muttered to himself: "So, including the road we're on, are there three endless passages here?"

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he nodded to his subordinates and said, "In this case, let's check the other two endless passages first, maybe that "skull-crushing madman" Benson is trapped in the one of them. "

"My lord, please wait a moment."

Lian's crisp voice sounded, and she bowed slightly and said: "My lord, this subordinate feels that it is not so simple here."

"oh?"

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of curiosity on his face, motioning him to continue talking.

As a creature created by God, Lian's perception in some aspects is undoubtedly different from ordinary people.

"My lord, after my subordinate's perception, I feel that there should be other hidden back doors here."

Lian sheathed the long sword in his hand, nodded respectfully to Lei Xiao and said, "It's just that these three hidden back doors are often opened and are in a normal state, while the other hidden back doors, due to the age, It's less noticeable in the pending state."

"So, these three hidden back doors are often used by goblins, and besides that, there are magic back doors that even goblins haven't discovered?"

After figuring out what Lian's words meant, Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he nodded at Hong Ye again: "Then let's be more targeted, let's try to detect it."

"Yes! My lord."

Hong Ye first took a deep breath, then closed her eyes slightly, and began to concentrate on perception.

Sure enough, after the brilliance of the fiery red dazzling magic circle dissipated, amidst the waves of energy, two more hidden portals appeared in front of everyone.

For a moment, the five chaotic vortexes neatly arranged beside the cave wall, in which the dark gray wonderful substance was constantly churning, looked quite spectacular.

"Hong Ye, Lian, you did a good job."

Lei Xiao nodded to the two subordinates beside him, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, then let's start the investigation."

After speaking, surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao was the first to walk into a newly opened chaotic vortex.

Accompanied by a familiar sense of lightness, after Lei Xiao felt that his feet became solid again, he had already arrived at a new underground space.

As soon as he landed, an extremely strong musty ancient smell flooded into Lei Xiao's nostrils, causing him to involuntarily rub his itchy nose.

However, since Lei Xiao had activated the energy shield in advance, the influence of the dust in the air had been minimized.

At a glance, there are no dark green crystals inlaid on the walls here, and it is pitch black everywhere.

With the help of the night vision effect of the pupil of the star, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and noticed further.

The width here is obviously much wider than the tunnel just now, and it can accommodate at least thirty people to pass side by side.

Moreover, the environment is only slightly humid, much drier than before, and even the hard unevenness under the feet is much more obvious.

All in all, no matter what it is, it is very different from the tunnel just now.

"It's interesting."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao immediately said, "Okay, since we've arrived, let's fill this place with light."

"As you order, my lord."

With the short staff in Ariel's hand lightly waving, dazzling balls of magic light emerged out of thin air and spread rapidly to the surroundings.

In the next second, the entire dark underground cave was instantly as bright as day.

With the light of the magic light ball, the group looked around.

Just like what Lei Xiao saw just now, apart from the more spacious environment, the crypt was empty, and there were no traces of any other creatures.

"My lord, there is a strong rotten smell here."

At this moment, Bai Wei's startled voice came into Lei Xiao's ears.

"The smell of corruption?"

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao sniffled and sniffed carefully again. In his nasal cavity, except for the strong smell of dust and earth, he found nothing else.

"My lord, there is indeed a rotten smell here, but the time is obviously long gone."

Immediately afterwards, Hong Ye, who is a dragon, and Lian, who is a creature created by God, also nodded.

"Understood, let's look forward."

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao held Rolandell tightly and took his own steps again.

For a moment, the sound of exploring footsteps resounded in this underground tunnel that had been covered in dust for an unknown number of years.

Clap, clap, clap...

Pairs of exquisite and sturdy leather boots landed on the ground, while stirring up a burst of dust on the hard soil.

This makes this ancient underground tunnel filled with the breath of life that has not been seen for a long time.

This brand new passage seems to be longer than the previous one.

After walking for about ten minutes, at the end of Lei Xiao's line of sight, apart from the unchanging solid cave walls and uneven ground, new things gradually appeared.

Squinting his eyes and looking intently, Lei Xiao noticed.

It was a motionless, short humanoid figure lying sideways on the ground.

Its whole body is covered with rusty iron armor, just inside the semi-enclosed helmet facing the group of people, a white object that has turned yellow can be vaguely seen.

It was a weird skull with two large hollow eye sockets, occupying at least half of the entire face, which was definitely not a characteristic of the human race.

On the slightly open mandible, there are covered with sallow and black disordered teeth, as if silently telling a dusty past.

"My lord, that is the corpse of a goblin."

Just when Lei Xiao saw this, Hong Ye's rustling voice came over: "Also, it's obviously a goblin soldier."

"I see."

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, feeling his scalp start to tingle.

Due to the unresolved "lost relic effect", although Lei Xiao has explored many ancient relics, he has never seen a real skeleton among them.

Therefore, this sudden scene obviously exceeded his psychological expectations.

"However, this at least shows that it definitely did not come from the blank age three thousand years ago."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and shifted his focus from the skeleton to other things.

However, just a few steps away, an even more shocking scene appeared.

At the end of the road ahead, one, two, three...until countless Goblin skeletons began to appear.

Each one is dressed in rusty armor, lying on the ground in a mess, and various weapons that have also been corroded by time are scattered throughout the cave.

All in all, a large number of armored skeletons, interlaced with tattered weapons, almost filled the entire space in front of it, with no end in sight.

For a moment, a chilling aura from ancient times rushed towards him.

"No wonder there is a strong rotten smell."

Looking at the densely packed skeletons of Goblin soldiers not far ahead, Bai Wei sniffled lightly, somewhat incredulously saying, "It turns out that an army of Goblins was buried here."

"Could it be that this was once a battlefield?"

Chaoyan, who has always been heartless, had a curious expression on her small face, blinked her big eyes and said doubtfully: "It's really surprising!"

"There are no traces of battle on the surface of the cave wall, and there are no traces of damage by weapons on the armor and bones. Moreover, there are only goblin corpses here."

Lian, who had already walked into the bones and began to squat down to check, said thoughtfully: "From this, we can be sure that this is not a battlefield."

"It turns out that this is the case, then the matter is very clear."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by other subordinates, nodded slightly and said: "It seems that when the goblins conquered these endless passages, they obviously paid a big price."

After speaking, Lei Xiao sniffled, tried his best to adapt himself to the environment here, and said again: "Then, let's take a good look here and see if there are any unexpected gains."
