Chapter 1364: In-depth and surprising

"Is this the entrance to the ancient dark elf mine?"

The moonlight was clear, and Lei Xiao stood in front of an empty circular pit and couldn't help but exclaimed.

This place is located at the foot of a continuous mountain range, which is the Yingying Peak. There is also a turbulent river flowing not far away, making the sound of water flowing in the ears endless.

And around the circular pit, there are several large dwarf elf magic machines deployed, and a large amount of soil piled up like a mountain, which looks quite spectacular.

"Yes, Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Broy stood beside Lei Xiao and reported: "The dwarf elf's advance team has arrived at the edge of the ancient dark elf mine ruins and is waiting for our arrival."

"Thank you for your hard work, and you did a good job."

Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and looked at the team of strong men behind him.

The first to bear the brunt were naturally the three sixth-level masters, Bing Lao, Hui Lao, and Joniel, other main subordinates such as Louise and Jiang Xi, and stone elves such as Xiao Jie.

Later, there was a team of masters composed of flower fairies and wood fairies, led by Fanny and Chris, a total of 20 sixth-level masters.

As for Shuerte and other tree people and other strong men from our side, Lei Xiao arranged them to stand by at the place where they would fight against trolls and minotaurs with the dragon army, ready to fall into the trap at any time.

Keeping a certain distance from our team of strong men was a team of strong men composed of light half-elves and dragons.

In addition to the old acquaintances Ruth and Myron, there were another 8 light half-elves participating, including a total of 5 sixth-level masters including Ruth and Myron, and 5 fifth-level peak and half-step sixth-level masters.

According to the information obtained by Lei Xiao, this should be all the light half-elves who came here.

The Dragonborn sent a total of 5 level 6 warriors, among which there was no Winged Prince Davis, but only Nar and several other Dragonborn warriors.

This is no wonder, after all, Davis, who was the main force, and Shult and others were preparing to deal with trolls and tauren on another battlefield.

"Sir Ruth, let's start now."

Lei Xiao's eyes finally fell on the light half-elf warrior and nodded slightly.

"I understand, Your Majesty, we have been ready for a long time."

Ruth changed into a set of light golden battle robes, and the metal staff in her hand flashed brilliantly.

Under Ruth's command, 10 light half-elf warriors quickly formed the first echelon of the team, and the Dragonborn warriors followed closely behind. Later, Lei Xiao and other warriors of our side began to move towards the circular pit together.

Because the dwarf elf engineers built a complete spiral staircase and lighting measures around the circular pit, leading all the way to the depths of the ground, so with the steady footsteps of the group, the surroundings soon began to become quieter and quieter.

As far as the eye can see, there are only the thick stairs extending downwards and the light crystals inlaid around, and the smell of fresh soil.

It must be said that in such a short time, the dwarf elves were able to arrange everything in an orderly manner, which really satisfied Lei Xiao.

Following the spiral staircase down, after walking for about ten minutes, the group has arrived at the end of the deep pit.

This is a relatively spacious circular space, where some dwarf elves' magic mechanical equipment are deployed, and there is nothing special about it.

Only in a corner of the space, an ancient stone passage is very conspicuous, whether from the appearance or from the degree of dilapidated cave walls, it seems a bit out of place.

At the entrance of the passage, several teams of dwarf elf soldiers and alchemy puppets are guarding, which is obviously the advance team that Broy just mentioned.

Seeing the figures of Lei Xiao and Broy, the dwarf elf soldiers guarding the passage immediately saluted, and then gave way to the passage for the group to investigate.

"This evil wall carving that reveals violence and disorder, as well as the cold and chaotic atmosphere in the passage, are all the style characteristics of the dark elves!"

An old light half-elf who looked much older than Myron checked it out and reported to Ruth with excitement on his old face: "Miss, there is no mistake. This should be one of the passages for the miners to enter the mine at that time!"

Lei Xiao listened to the words of the old half-elf while looking at the wall carving at the entrance of the passage.

Depicted above are extremely tragic war scenes. Judging from the pointed ears of the soldiers, they are indeed from the elves.

However, behind Lei Xiao, two slender figures hidden in hoods heard the sound, but they snorted lightly, obviously very dissatisfied with the words of the old light half-elf.

These two people are none other than Erza and Theresa, who Lei Xiao brought specially. As true members of the dark elves, the other party's description of the dark elves is undoubtedly a bit too harsh.

Noticing the dissatisfaction of the dark elf sisters, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.

After all, the light elves and dark elves don't get along well, and they are now in a state of tension. No one looks down on each other, and the light half-elves who depend on the light elves are naturally the same. It is not surprising that this situation occurs.

However, both Erza and Theresa are extremely stable characters. Lei Xiao is not worried that the two will quarrel with the light half-elves, which will affect the next action.

After hearing the old half-elf's confirmation, Ruth's starry eyes lit up. She first ordered the bright half-elves to get ready to cast spells, and then nodded heavily to Lei Xiao, obviously asking for permission. After all, Lei Xiao was here. the supreme commander.

"Then please start."

Lei Xiao shrugged and took a step back.

After getting Lei Xiao's consent, Ruth calmed down and returned to the team of the bright half-elves.

Immediately afterwards, the melodious and melodious chants of the team rang out, and the bodies of Ruth and other bright half-elves were soon shrouded in a layer of pale golden halo, and under the cold moonlight they became even more sacred and mysterious. Sublime.

In addition, the half-elves are known for their beauty, making the whole scene look dreamlike and quite epic.

"The light half-elves alone are like this. It's hard to imagine what a real light elf would look like."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this in his mind, a wave of energy suddenly surged out from the bodies of Ruth and other bright half-elves, flying straight towards the dark passage.

Wherever the energy fluctuations went, the originally extremely dark and primitive passages were immediately covered by a golden halo, sparkling everywhere instantly.

Under the golden halo, deep magic arrays shrouded in black energy began to emerge from the inside of the passage. They were obviously the magic traps of the ancient dark elves.

"It turns out to be a detection spell, and the effect is indeed very good."

Looking at the series of ancient magic arrays that were passively revealed, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Judging from the increasingly thinner black air on the surface of these magic arrays, I am afraid that this detection spell also has the effect of suppressing magic traps.

After that, Ruth and others immediately started to destroy it. It didn't take long for the black energy formations distributed throughout the passage to disappear one after another, as if they had never existed.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, Fanny, Chris, and Broy looked at each other.

As expected of the existence of the dark elves in terms of attributes, the opponent's speed of erasing the magic circle is indeed extremely fast. If we were to do it alone, it would probably take at least three times more time.

Only Erza and Teresa still looked angry, but they had also confirmed to Lei Xiao that those black energy formations were indeed filled with the aura of the dark elves, and the other party was indeed carrying out the work of destroying them, and There's nothing else fishy.

"Your Majesty, you can pass through this passage now."

Not long after, Ruth returned to Lei Xiao. Judging from her slightly rising chest, it was obvious that she was not as relaxed as we saw.

"Then I'll ask you, Your Excellency, to lead the way."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then under the guidance of the other party, he walked towards the interior of the ancient passage.

After entering the ancient passage, a long and moist breath immediately hit the face.

Feeling the mottled marks washed away by time on the surrounding cave walls, Lei Xiao looked around.

The inside of the passage is much wider than what you see from the outside, enough for five people to walk side by side without feeling crowded.

In addition, despite the passage of three thousand years, there are no cracks in the stone cave walls or the ground, which is enough to illustrate the power of the dark elves back then.

Among the marching team, especially Erza and Teresa, looked in awe, carefully observing everything around them.

You must know that the number of ancient dark elf ruins discovered in the outer realm is relatively limited, and there are even fewer that are actually in the hands of the current dark elf kingdom, and they are all tightly protected.

In other words, even they have never seen the real ruins of ancient dark elves, so naturally they are extremely curious and awe-struck. After all, this is a world that their ancestors once opened up.

As everyone moved forward, after traveling about a hundred meters, the vision suddenly became clear again.

But because the light was too dim, everything was cast in a thick shadow.

Through the automatically activated night vision effect, Lei Xiao further noticed.

This place is extremely vast, even so vast that night vision cannot completely cover it. The distance is still hazy, making it difficult to see the whole thing.

But what is certain is that the area of ​​this ancient mine is obviously much larger than we expected, and has even reached an incredible scale.

"Your Majesty the Human Race, this is the real location of the Dark Elf Mine."

Ruth nodded to Lei Xiao, and then asked: "Your Majesty the Human Race, I plan to completely illuminate this place first. This will also help with the subsequent detection. Please be prepared."

"I understand, you can make your own arrangements."

Lei Xiao slowly surged up the energy in his belly, preparing to observe the entire mine.

A clear chant sounded from Ruth, and in the blink of an eye, a fist-sized ball of light began to emerge from the top of her staff, then slowly rose and floated toward the front of the mine.

While floating, the small ball of light began to expand more and more, and soon it was like the rising sun, illuminating the entire area like daylight.

"Good guy, is this the whole picture of the ancient dark elf mine?"

As the light became more abundant, Lei Xiao's vision gradually became clearer, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in wonder.

This is not an ancient mine, it is simply a huge underground city.

I saw that the central area of ​​the entire mine had been completely hollowed out, extending all the way to the depths of the ground, just like a bottomless man-made abyss.

And around the abyss, there are layers of mining areas, so densely packed that it is dazzling.

These mining areas located in different strata are clearly layered and connected to each other. Each layer has no end at all. There are dense tracks on it, and there are piles of boulders and mottled mine carts everywhere, as well as a large number of Mining tools are scattered everywhere, all looking rusty, and there are even a lot of ores piled in the corners.

Judging from the chaos, it was obvious that the dark elves left in a hurry and did not even have time to put away the final results.

The group of people is currently located on the top floor of the mine, where they can have a panoramic view of the entire mine. Compared with the entire mine, the group of dozens of people are like a few sesame seeds scattered on the ground, looking insignificant. .

"I didn't expect it to be on such a huge scale. Is it enough to accommodate millions of dark elves being mined at the same time?"

Beside Lei Xiao, Kris flapped her wings and swallowed involuntarily.

Even if the entire capital of the Wood Fairy were put together, it would probably not be half as big as this mine.

"That's right, even the dwarves today probably don't even have the largest mines like this, right?"

Fanny looked the same and nodded.

As for the other people on our side, the light half-elves and dragon-born experts, including Ruth herself, they all looked surprised. Obviously, they did not expect the scale of this place to be so amazing.

"Your Excellency Ruth, what do you think we should do next?"

Lei Xiao calmed down and asked the bright half-elf beside him.

"Back to your human majesty, although the mine is vast, it is definitely not full of traps."

Ruth first slowly took a deep breath to stabilize her mind, then nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "According to our understanding, traps should be distributed in various mine corridors, miners' living areas, and tool storage areas, etc." "As for the self-destruction array, it should be deployed in the management area at the core of the mine."

"So please rest assured, Your Majesty, the human race. As long as we understand the structure of the mine, everything will be solved. These magic traps have been in disrepair for a long time. With our power, they will all be wiped out soon."

However, before Ruth could finish her words, something strange happened. (End of chapter)
