Chapter 936 Under the Unknown Castle
In the deepest part of this unknown castle, in front of Lei Xiao and his party was an extremely dark dungeon corridor.
Through Ariel's continuous launch of the guiding light sphere, all the way to drive forward to disperse the darkness, Lei Xiao noticed.
This damp dungeon corridor is quite spacious, it can accommodate at least 20 fully armed soldiers marching side by side, and there is no end in sight at a glance.
On both sides of the corridor, there are separate cells surrounded by metal fences.
Under the reflection of the light ball, the heavily corroded metal poles and rails reflected mottled and old light, causing a vicissitudes of life and despair to rush towards them.
Gently sniffing the looming smell of blood and decay in the humid air, Lei Xiao looked left and right.
The surrounding cells are all empty, and sometimes a yellowed skeleton sitting on the ground, as well as some mottled instruments of torture and racks can be seen.
"I didn't expect that the Shanglu family, which has a bright and beautiful surface, would have such a dark and terrifying place."
Ariel's starry eyes moved, and a dignified expression appeared involuntarily, and she muttered to herself.
"This is the dark side of nobility and power, and it can be regarded as a reasonable scene."
With a calm face, Lei Xiao nodded to indicate that Hu Zhang and Hong Ye would be at the front to explore the way, while he and Ai Lier were in the middle, and Jiang Li and Lian were at the end.
Although Lei Xiao and his party consisted of only six people, the weight of the three fifth-level powerhouses could not be measured by the number alone.
Even so, under Lei Xiao's signal, the group all clenched their weapons tightly without any carelessness.
Lei Xiao clearly understands that everything here is an unknown territory, and every step he takes may lead to death, so naturally he can't relax a bit.
After all, judging from the previous descriptions of Keane and others, as well as the Frost Arrow and Wind Blade traps just now, it is indeed enough to bury the fifth-level powerhouse here, and the fifth-level intruder who left a lot of blood is the best example.
"My lord, there is no breath of living people here. It seems that it has been deserted for a long time."
Jiang Li, who was at the back of the team, felt it for a moment, then stroked Lei Xiao's chest and saluted, "But there is a danger in the air, like an undercurrent turbulent under the calm water, making people feel murderous."
As soon as Jiang Li's words fell, Han Shui's joking voice sounded again, which undoubtedly showed that he was obviously using some means to monitor the actions of a group of people.
"Hehe, this is just a deserted dungeon. Although it has been operating secretly for hundreds of years, interrogating sinners one after another for the Shanglu family, the owner of this family is not willing to live in the same castle with sinners. It will make the owner feel sick."
There was a bit of playfulness in Han Shui's voice, Sensei said: "So the head of the family has changed this dungeon with many traps into a death trial ground. For decades, no one has left here alive, including Including the fifth-order powerhouse who covets the treasures of our Shanglu family."
After Han Shui finished speaking, without any warning, the space around Lei Xiao suddenly distorted and tore apart, as if a pair of unstoppable transparent hands were about to close, trying to crush the group of people in their palms.
Seeing this, Jiang Li's fair face exuding a mature charm froze, and the Time Beyond Shore in his hand flashed with light, causing a light gray halo to surge out.
Wherever the light gray radiance went, those invisible deadly hands immediately disappeared, as if they had never appeared before, making the space return to normal.
"Using a space magic trap in front of a space magister is really beyond our control."
Jiang Li snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Don't be careless, the other party is testing our strength."
Lei Xiao nodded to Jiang Li, immediately raised the volume, and said to Han Shui lightly: "Stop making noise there, like a buzzing fly, if you want to distract us with words If you don’t pay attention, it’s a bit overthinking.”
"Hehe, stupid and despicable Keqing, it's time to take advantage of the stubbornness."
Han Shui's voice became more playful, and dismissively said: "All this is just the beginning, believe me, you will be more and more surprised in the future, and at that time, it will be the time of your death!"
With Han Shui's voice falling, everything came to an abrupt end.
Only the cautious and orderly footsteps of a group of people still echoed slowly in the dark dungeon with no end in sight, ethereal and distant.
"My lord, what does Han Shui mean?"
The staff in Ariel's hand was shining brightly. While controlling several shining balls of light, floating all the way in front and around, she whispered to Lei Xiao: "Apart from magic traps, is there any other weird things here?" ?”
"Haven't you found it yet? This dungeon is a bit too large, and it obviously doesn't match the castle on the ground. It's more like a city dungeon than a castle dungeon."
Lei Xiao's eyes wandered, and finally his eyes fell on the lock of a rusted prison door, and he nodded to Ariel.
Following Lei Xiao's gaze, this Princess Lengyan noticed it belatedly.
Although the size of the surrounding cells seemed normal, the position of the door lock was only up to his knees, so the result was self-evident.
"This is a suitable size only for half-length races such as dwarves or elves!"
With a look of sudden realization, Ariel blurted out: "So these cells were not built by the Shanglu family themselves, but have existed here for a long time?"
"That's right, I'm afraid the Shanglu family built the Patriarch's castle on this underground relic, just like the place where the ancestors slept."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said in a more solemn voice: "In other words, the threats we face are not only the magic traps that the Shanglu family deployed later, but also the ones left by the original race."
"Manipulate the magic trap left by the original race? Is this possible?"
Ariel froze for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"It is indeed difficult for ordinary strong people to do, but it is not completely impossible for some fifth-level magisters who specialize in traps."
Jiang Li took over the conversation and echoed: "After all, most of the magic traps are different from the higher-level magic restraints, and because they have been in disrepair for a long time, it is reasonable to be manipulated and transformed."
After a pause, Jiang Li frowned again and added: "For example, the magic trap of the space system just now obviously swayed with the breath of the magic trap of the dwarves. It is simple and violent, and it belongs to the type that can perform miracles with great strength."
"I didn't expect the Shanglu family to hide so deeply. There is actually an ancient dwarf relic under the owner's castle, and it has undergone such a transformation. This is something that even the royal family does not know."
Ariel slowly took a deep breath, her starry eyes were full of sternness, and she exclaimed, "It's really unexpected."
"Hehe, stupid little princess, did you realize it now?"
Hanshui's playful voice sounded again: "Back then, in order to completely conquer this ancient relic left by the dwarves, the Shanglu family's experienced clansmen went on and on, and they really paid huge casualties."
"Due to the sharp drop in the number of strong men, it even alarmed His Majesty the King of Heroes. Fortunately, the Patriarch at the time blocked them in the name of slaying the dragon."
"After all, the first patriarch of the Shanglu family is a genuine fifth-order powerhouse, and is the chief magic trap expert of the royal family. It goes without saying about his strength."
There was a little more pride in Han Shui's voice, and he continued to describe the great achievements of his ancestors back then, as if Lei Xiao and the others had no doubts about the deceased, and they were not at all worried that Lei Xiao and the others would reveal these things.
"It is precisely because of the transformation of the first Patriarch that our Shanglu family was able to use the magic trap left by the dwarves and even extend it to the ground."
"Then, after years of transformation by the successive patriarchs of our Shanglu family and the top experts hired, it finally became this scale."
"In other words, the many magic traps left by this dwarf clan have all belonged to the owner of this family."
"You know, compared to wise races such as the elves, although the dwarves are not good at magic, their basic life expectancy is more than five times that of the human race, and their magic skills and the number of top magicians are by no means comparable to the human race! "
At this point, Han Shui began to laugh wildly again: "You know now? You will definitely die this time!"
"So this is your reliance?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, apparently not taking the other party's threat to heart.
After speaking, Lei Xiao moved his eyes and focused on the two fifth-level magic powerhouses under his command in turn.
Not to mention the tall and slender Hong Ye, as a member of the dragon clan, she has been asleep for more than six hundred years just in Fenglong City.
Although it is very impolite to ask the age of the female dragon, according to my estimation, Hong Ye is at least a thousand years old, and her experience is far from that of a human magician.
As the ancestor of the half-elf, Jiang Li was also over 500 years old, and had lived with the elves who were good at using magic for a long time, so he was naturally not an ordinary person.
In other words, things that can make ordinary human magisters helpless, do not pose any threat at all to the two powerful magicians under his command.
"Han Shui, if your reliance is on these dwarf magic traps, then you can stretch your neck and wait for me to stand in front of you."
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze, and said flatly, "Don't show off these pediatric tricks to shame people."
"What an arrogant kid! He's just a despicable outsider, yet he dares to speak nonsense here!"
Han Shui let out a cold snort, and around Lei Xiao and his party, magic particles surged out of nowhere.
This undoubtedly means that the other party has activated some kind of magic trap.
However, this time, the magic particles only vibrated for a while, and then disappeared like a deflated ball, as if nothing had happened.
"How is this going?"
Seeing that the magic trap had lost its effect, Han Shui's startled voice immediately rang out in the dark corridor of the dungeon.
"Unfortunately, when you introduced the great achievements of your ancestors just now, the magic trap around here has already been lifted."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, looked at Hong Ye and Jiang Li who had just cleared the magic trap, and nodded in satisfaction.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao waved his hand forward, signaled his subordinates to move on, and raised his voice: "It seems that you have not completely controlled the magic traps of the dwarves, but you can only activate part of them, otherwise you wouldn't be so Easily removed."
"Despicable outsider, don't get complacent too early!"
Han Shui's voice was a little more exasperated, but also a little more playful and contemptuous: "If you think that the background of our Shanglu family for more than 600 years is only this level, then you are very wrong. wrong."
"Arrogant and arrogant, I might as well tell you that this is just an insignificant appetizer, and the real good show has not yet been staged!"
Han Shui's voice became harsher, and he said coldly: "As the head of the Shanglu family, one of Lengyan's three wealthy families, I will definitely make you pay the price of contempt for this ancient family!"
"Don't get me wrong, it's not the Shanglu family that I despise, but you personally."
Lei Xiao didn't continue to speak quickly with the other party, but ordered his subordinates to speed up their pace.
After mastering the law of the dwarven magic trap, Lei Xiao and his party hardly encountered any obstacles, and walked all the way in the dark and damp, and soon came to the end of this dungeon.
During this process, through the introduction of Hong Ye and Jiang Li, Lei Xiao learned more about it.
Originally, the magic traps of the dwarves were not so easy to dispel. Many traps are linked together, which can be said to affect the whole body.
Although it is not as wonderful as the wise races such as the elves, it can also be called a supernatural workmanship.
But because of the forcible transformation of the Shanglu family, the magic traps that were originally combined were all disintegrated, not only greatly reduced in power, but also became extremely fragile.
Even so, it can still be clearly seen through the occasional splashes of blood, broken ground, and scattered bones along the way.
These magic traps have indeed caused a lot of damage. Rather than saying that this is a dungeon, it is more appropriate to say that it is a tomb.
"It's unimaginable how many powerful people have died here in despair, but I will never be included."
Lei Xiao shrugged, and nodded towards the tiger stick ready to go.
The latter understood immediately, and with several dense flashes of bright sword light, the thick dungeon gate was directly disintegrated and turned into pieces on the ground.
Although this gate is sealed with a fifth-order magic restriction, it is not very clever. It has been lifted by the joint efforts of Hong Ye and Jiang Li just now.
Before that, Hong Ye and Jiang Li had successively dispelled several magic traps that created monstrous waves, otherwise the place would undoubtedly be completely submerged.
"I have to say, if an ordinary strong person comes here, it is indeed like going through purgatory."
Lei Xiao sighed in his heart, while surrounded by his subordinates, he stepped out of the gate of the dungeon ruins.
But the scene that Lei Xiao and his party faced next exceeded everyone's expectations.
