Chapter 938 The Alone Lord and the Desperate Patriarch
In the temple of unknown race filled with dust and ancient smell, Lei Xiao slowed down, his dark eyes wandering cautiously in the darkness.
Just now, Lei Xiao suddenly noticed.
My surroundings are extremely strange, the sound of breathing, footsteps, and even heartbeats of my subordinates have ceased to exist at some point, as if time was suddenly pulled away.
It's all too quiet.
thump, thump, thump.
In the huge ancient temple, Lei Xiao was the only one left. The sound of his footsteps was still echoing, piercing and ethereal.
Facing this unknown dark environment and the sudden and strange development, even Lei Xiao, who has been on the verge of life and death many times, couldn't help but feel his hairs stand on end, and drops of cold sweat ooze from his forehead.
Although the subordinates are still around him, he can't feel a trace of life, as if surrounded by him, there are only a group of walking dead puppets, dull and mechanical.
The brightness of the guiding light sphere gradually weakened, and it was impossible to dispel the abyss-like darkness around it.
To be more precise, it is the boundless cold darkness that is slowly enveloping Lei Xiao, and it seems that it may swallow Lei Xiao at any time.
Frightened in his heart, Lei Xiao slowly turned his head, just in time to meet Ariel's pair of empty starry eyes, the stiff expression on that white face was no different from a hanging puppet.
"Are the subordinates being manipulated by some kind of magic, or are these "subordinates" simply a group of phantoms? "
Before Lei Xiao could figure out what was going on, "Tibetan Stick" and "Red Night" who were exploring the way at the front both turned around, began to shake the weapons in their hands, and slowly approached Lei Xiao.
"Ariel" beside Lei Xiao, and "Jiang Gracilaria" and "Lian" behind him also made the same movements.
In the blink of an eye, the five muscular figures with murderous aura staggered around Lei Xiao in the middle.
In this process, after various potions that increase perception, [Blessed Golden Eyes], and the blessing of the power of the gods, Lei Xiao finally saw some clues.
These five puppet-like figures, although the aura exuded by them and the smell on their bodies are no different from those of the real subordinates, but their appearances appear and disappear from time to time with a hint of illusory.
So far, the situation has become very obvious.
"Is it really an illusion?"
Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, his face became more serious.
Just now, Lei Xiao had noticed.
The only clues that appeared around him were the subordinates around him, but this unknown temple was not included.
It is this situation that is both true and false that is the source of the weirdness just now.
This kind of surrounding scene is real, but only the subordinates around him are fake. This is undoubtedly the first time I have encountered it.
"Ariel and the others have been by my side all the time. When did they get dropped?"
Facing the phantom that could attack at any time, a light gray short-distance teleportation scroll appeared in Lei Xiao's palm.
Although this kind of teleportation scroll is extremely rare, after winning the previous large-scale battles, Lei Xiao already has a lot of stock, and with the help of Jiangli, he has learned to use it perfectly.
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao directly activated the teleportation scroll, and instantly turned into a phantom, breaking away from the encirclement of the phantoms.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that he hadn't gone deep into this unknown temple yet, as long as he returned to the Dwarves' Upside Down Temple just now, he might be able to reunite with his real subordinates.
As for the current crisis situation, although it can be called extremely dangerous, for Lei Xiao who has been on the line of life and death many times, as long as he understands his situation, it will not be so daunting.
After all, Lei Xiao, who has just upgraded his spoils, has a very strong hole card. Just the number of fifth-order scrolls on his body can completely match a real fifth-order powerhouse.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao had already appeared hundreds of meters away, which was the intersection of this unknown temple and the dwarf temple.
However, Lei Xiao, who reappeared, discovered something unexpected.
That is, the road that originally connected to the dwarven temple disappeared completely, and the strangely tilted goddess statue also returned to its normal upright state.
At this point, Lei Xiao realized belatedly.
Before I knew it, even the road that was originally inclined at 45 degrees had become flat again, as if the skewed space had suddenly returned to its original state, but I didn't know it.
"The escape route has been blocked?"
Surprised in his heart, Lei Xiao tried to use Nianhua, but he couldn't contact any of his subordinates.
"So, am I trapped here alone? It turns out that it wasn't time that was pulled away, but myself."
Lei Xiao clenched Rowlander in his hand, his face became more serious.
The open space suddenly became closed, and even the slanted topography changed, which was obviously not something that could be achieved with some kind of mechanism.
In other words, it is very likely that I have entered an exquisitely designed enchantment area unknowingly.
"Hehe, stupid and despicable guest, it seems that you have finally figured out your situation."
Han Shui's disdainful voice sounded, and he said jokingly: "Just as you imagined, the only living person in this small enchanted space is indeed you."
"Of course, there are also phantoms whose strength is the same as yours."
As soon as Han Shui's words fell, those murderous phantoms followed like shadows, reappeared out of thin air, and surrounded Lei Xiao in the middle.
"But it's a pity that you will soon become a dead man."
Han Shui suddenly started to laugh wildly, and said solemnly: "As an insignificant and despicable outsider, the reason why you can become famous is only because of the strength of the strong men under your command."
"And now that you are alone, my Patriarch has to take a good look at how you are going to escape this time! Let my Patriarch die!"
After Han Shui's words, murderous aura erupted in the empty and dark hall.
"Tibetan stick" and "Red Night" both move their bodies, holding their swords and claws respectively, and attacking Lei Xiao one after the other!
Two fierce black shadows flashed past under the beautiful pure white goddess statue, and the sharp blades brought a strong wind to Lei Xiao's body.
"Although my strength is limited, I still won't fall into your hands."
Facing the buzzing sharp blade, Lei Xiao let out a cold snort, and activated a new teleportation scroll to escape, causing the two fierce attacks to fail, leaving a staggered "X" on the empty ground type pit.
"Slippery bug, my master will see how many times you can run!"
Accompanied by the harsh sound of cold water.
The speed of the phantoms' pursuit is also getting faster and faster.
Almost the moment Lei Xiao appeared, the fierce slash was already coming.
And "Jiang Li" and "Ariel" both used magic attacks.
Although these two powerful magic phantoms cannot imitate real people's moves, they can only release the most basic magic missiles one after another.
But the power of the cannon-like magic bullet is still extremely terrifying, especially the Gracilaria, which easily left deep craters on the ground one after another with thick smoke.
During the turmoil, although what Lei Xiao faced was only the most basic attack moves, the vast aura emanating from the three fifth-level phantoms still made this gloomy temple violently violent, with murderous intent everywhere.
However, with the power of the gods and the blessings of many potions, the reaction speed of Lei Xiao, who is at the fourth level, is already much faster than the ordinary fourth-level strong.
And those fifth-order phantoms have a whole body of energy, but they can't fully use them. They ebb and flow, and with the help of the teleportation scroll, Lei Xiao doesn't have no chance to dodge at all.
In the process of dodging the attack, Lei Xiao noticed further.
Although "Lian" also participated in it, its attack ability is almost negligible, and it can't even reach the first level of strength.
It is not difficult to see from this that phantoms cannot simulate Lian's strength at all. After all, Lian is a battle doll who is a creature created by God, which is completely different from ordinary races.
Even though there were only four phantoms attacking, the intermittently appearing Lei Xiao was soon sweating profusely, and there were many discarded scrolls scattered on the surrounding ground.
"Facing the phantom pursuit of three fifth-tier powerhouses, it really is a bit overwhelming, even if it's just an extremely dull basic move."
Lei Xiao panted heavily, and soon left behind a discarded teleportation scroll, which disappeared in place in an instant.
As a magical technique that travels between the real space and the void space, although it only activates the magic scroll and does not need to consume its own magic power, it still caused a lot of physical burden on Lei Xiao after using it in a short period of time. .
"Hehe, have you run out of skills so soon? You really let the Patriarch down."
Sensing Lei Xiao who was out of breath, Han Shui's insolent voice showed another touch of disdain, and he burst out laughing.
"At the end of the day, it's just a waste from another world who can't think of what it can do. Let the Patriarch be torn apart!"
Following the words of Han Shui's murderous intent, the four indefatigable phantoms once again launched a fierce attack, attacking Lei Xiao overwhelmingly.
But this time, Lei Xiao, who moved even more slowly, had no time to activate the teleportation scroll in his hand, so he could only watch helplessly as the deadly move, like a god of death wielding a sickle, was getting closer and closer to him.
"Hahaha, despicable outsider, this time you will definitely die!"
Seeing this, Han Shui's laughter grew wilder, echoing wantonly in the empty and dark temple.
Accompanied by Han Shui's maniacal laughter, are the killing moves of the phantoms that are close at hand.
Just like what Han Shui said, facing the combined attack of three fifth-order phantoms, even Lei Xiao's cards are like clouds, but he is already powerless!
However, just when Han Shui, who was overwhelmed with complacency, thought that the general situation was settled and acted unscrupulously, the insolent laughter stopped abruptly like a duck being pinched by the neck.
In the turbulent and gloomy temple, the scene has completely reversed.
The three fifth-order phantoms and other phantoms that were so powerful suddenly disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared before.
Only Lei Xiao, who was about to be devoured by the fatal attack, still stood there with a calm expression on his face.
"What's going on here? Even facing a genuine fifth-order powerhouse, the phantom can't be defeated so easily!"
After a moment of silence, Han Shui's unbelievably angry voice rang out, "You despicable outsider, what have you done?!"
"It seems that I am not as overconfident as you said."
Lei Xiao didn't answer Han Shui's question, but smiled lightly and said, "And you, the majestic head of the Shanglu family, can't even beat a person from another world that you call insignificant. It really makes people laugh out loud."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, a palm-sized female elf slowly appeared on Lei Xiao's shoulder, sitting leisurely, gently swaying her slender and slender legs.
So far, the answer is self-evident.
It was under the escort of Xiao Huan that Lei Xiao successfully resolved all the deadly illusions.
Not long ago, when Lei Xiao, who was alone, realized that he had been pulled away to this enchanted area alone.
He immediately began to confirm whether Xiao Huan, who had always been carried on his body as a hole card and maintained the form of the [God Stone], was still there.
Fortunately, Xiao Huan responded quickly, and as the [God's Stone] of the illusion department, she was undoubtedly the best way to break the illusion.
However, because these phantoms are extremely delicate and connected to each other, they belong to a state of symbiosis.
This means that only by dissolving all illusions in one go can this fatal crisis be completely resolved.
Therefore, Xiao Huan was not sure about erasing the phantom immediately, but needed a certain amount of time to decipher it. This was how Lei Xiao kept dodging phantom attacks.
"Don't worry, my lord, the phantoms can't recover in a short period of time at least, and there is no other trap here, we are safe now."
Xiao Huan's palm-sized body moved inward, leaned on Lei Xiao's neck, patted his chest and asked for credit: "Hey, how will the lord plan to reward his subordinates? Maybe the subordinates can become Princess Ariel again , that would be double the happiness."
"You're the only one with a lot of money."
Lei Xiao curled his lips, and immediately asked, "Can you feel the presence of Jiang Li and others?"
"Go back to Lord Lord, that girl Jiang Li is trying to tear open the exit leading to here from the outside world."
Xiao Huan shook his head, and continued to say leisurely: "It seems that we will be able to leave here soon."
"Hateful despicable outsider, I didn't expect such an unknown creature to be hidden on your body!"
During the conversation between Lei Xiao and Xiao Huan, Han Shui's distraught voice never stopped.
"Don't think this is the end, since your hole cards have been exposed, you will die even worse!"
"The more than 600-year heritage of the Shanglu family, how can you, a despicable outsider who has just arrived, be able to compare?"
Ignoring Han Shui's words, Lei Xiao began to look carefully at the temple of this unknown race, and became more and more curious in his heart.
In the real space, there is a staggered scene, but in the enchantment area, everything is as usual. This unknown temple is really quite magical.
Just as Lei Xiao thought of this in his mind, a slender and slender figure flashed out following a burst of energy fluctuations.
"Jiang Li, you came quite quickly."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, looked at the person who came, and suddenly his face was full of surprise.
Because in front of him is not his subordinate, but a completely unfamiliar white face.
