Chapter 1368 A sudden fierce battle

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the changes in front, Lei Xiao and others in the center and rear of the team immediately tensed up their nerves and tightened their weapons.

Judging from everyone's nervous looks, it was obvious that they had not yet fully recovered from the shocking scene in the mirage just now.

Feeling awe-struck in his heart, Lei Xiao stabilized his mind and looked towards the front of the team.

In a corner of the mine, a group of trembling unfamiliar figures were huddled. Judging from their clothing, they were exactly the same as those in the mirage just now.

"Why are there still illusions? Are we still in a mirage?"

Broy's eyes widened, with a look of confusion and nervousness on his face.

"No, there are no illusion energy fluctuations. This is not an illusion."

Xiao Huan followed closely beside Lei Xiao and denied: "They definitely did not appear here through mirage."

"If it's not a mirage, then why can we still see these images?"

Fanny also looked like she didn't dare to be careless at all. The top of the staff in her hand contained a vague magical power, and she was obviously ready to attack at any time.

As Fanny finished speaking, the faces of others on our side became even more confused, and beads of sweat even began to appear on their foreheads.

It has to be said that after experiencing that unforgettable mirage just now, such a vision really makes people dare not be careless at all.

Just when everyone still didn't understand what happened, those figures obviously noticed the presence of everyone on our side. They slowly raised their heads, revealing pale faces and pairs of bloodshot eyes. 's scarlet eyes.

It is not difficult to tell from the faces and features of these strange figures that they are all dark elf miners.

"We are just a group of pathetic people abandoned by God, why do you want to drive us all away?!"

The leader of the dark elf miners roared angrily, then raised the warhammer in his hand and attacked and killed everyone on our side.

Surrounding the leader of the dark elf miners, other dark elves also had ferocious faces, and they all made the same attack movements, and all fired towards us.

For a time, the originally calm corner of the mine was filled with murderous aura and became turbulent.

Faced with such a sudden attack, although the hearts of everyone on our side were full of questions, they did not panic at all, and they all lowered their bodies and prepared for the response.

I felt an inexplicable murderous aura coming towards me, especially the bright half-elves who were leading the battle. They were obviously extremely well-trained. The dazzling magic power and sharp blades immediately formed an airtight and deadly net, aiming at the opponent. Welcoming him.

However, at the moment when the several light half-elf physical powerhouses headed by Myron were about to come into contact with each other, the dark elf miners with ferocious faces and crazy attacks disappeared one after another, as if they had never appeared.

With the disappearance of the dark elf miners, the entire environment suddenly became quiet again, leaving only our people who were still raising their weapons and looking at each other with confused expressions.

"Why did they suddenly disappear again? Where did they go?"

Broy carefully controlled the two sixth-level alchemy puppets and stood guard beside him, still looking like he didn't dare to relax.

"It's still unknown, but judging from the fact that the other party can react to us and even release murderous intent, it is indeed completely different from the illusion in the mirage just now. After all, the mirage just now is just a recording type of illusion. There is no way they will react to us.”

Ruth also did not dare to be careless at all. While staring closely at the surroundings, she responded: "I think these dark elves should be entities, but they disappeared again for some reason."

"But it was more than three thousand years ago. Why are they still exactly the same as they were then?"

Fanny frowned and said with confusion on her face: "I have never encountered such an incredible thing."

"It's indeed puzzling, but what's even more concerning is the words of the leading dark elf."

Chris took over the conversation and said thoughtfully: "They call themselves people abandoned by God. What does this mean?"

"I think that's not hard to explain."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and responded: "Based on the analysis of the scene in the mirage just now, we have reached a consensus on several points. One of them is that there was a god-level attack here, so that the dark elves at that time had no chance to fight back. "

"What is certain is that the dark elves at that time must have been favored by some gods, but at least judging from the scenes in the mirage, no other gods came to save the dark elves, so that most of the dark elves just Praying in vain."

Lei Xiao's words reached this point and concluded: "At this point, the answer is self-evident."

"In other words, do these dark elves think that they have been abandoned by the gods? That's why they call themselves people abandoned by the gods."

Ruth gently rubbed her white chin, and then said: "It makes sense to think about it this way, but then again, why did the gods of the dark elves watch the people they favored being attacked? This does not make sense. After all, gods are omnipotent beings, and they will never sit idly by."

"This is the mystery of the blank era. Perhaps these gods were also attacked, or perhaps these gods were the attackers themselves, or perhaps the gods no longer favored this land at that time."

Lei Xiao shrugged and responded: "As long as we understand the truth of the blank era, all this will naturally be solved."

"As for the dark elves that attacked us just now, although we don't know how they appeared, from the current situation, they are not a big threat. You just need to be careful and cautious."

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the confusion of the crowd gradually disappeared, and they all gathered their minds and focused their attention on the surrounding scenes.

"Your Majesty, by the way, the abnormal energy fluctuations we felt at the beginning, could it be the dark elves that attacked us just now?"

Broy tried his best to suppress his nervousness and asked Lei Xiao again.

"The energy fluctuations of those dark elves just now were full of hostility, without any concealment, and were obviously completely different from the obscure energy fluctuations at the beginning."

Lei Xiao carefully recalled what he had seen and heard in his mind, and responded: "The difference between the two is still obvious."

"I agree with the human king's opinion."

Ruth nodded and echoed: "I felt a kind of seemingly vital force in those dark elves just now, which is indeed completely different from the obscure vitality at the beginning."

"Sir Ruth, what does seemingly vital force mean?"

Nar's dragon face was still confused, and asked: "Could it be that the dark elves who attacked us just now were not real living beings? Life forms? What are they exactly? "

"This is exactly what confuses me. They seem to be something between living things and non-living things."

A trace of confusion also emerged on Ruth's face. She smiled helplessly and said, "It's not just you. I have never encountered such a situation before."

"First it was the obscure vitality, then the sudden mirage, and now it is a seemingly life form? It seems that the harvest of this ancient mine is more than we imagined."

Lei Xiao clapped his hands lightly, indicating that everyone should continue to explore, and said, "Let's take a good look at what secrets are hidden in this ancient mine."

After that, Lei Xiao looked at Ruth meaningfully again.

The secrets that Lei Xiao referred to naturally included what Ruth and other light half-elves really wanted in this ancient mine, as speculated at the beginning.

"Your Majesty is right. We must not let these things restrict our steps."

Ruth did not seem to see what Lei Xiao meant. She quickly reorganized the exploration formation of the light half-elf and walked at the front of the team again.

After that, the group found several teams of dark elf miners similar to the previous ones. Except for the difference in number and appearance, there was almost no difference.

Most of them suddenly disappeared in the process of attacking us. Only a few chose to escape after seeing us and soon disappeared from our sight.

It must be said that although these seemingly life forms did not have a real contest with us, the sudden appearance of a team of strangers at the corner and the sudden murderous scene still made our group feel awe-inspiring and dared not slack off.

Unconsciously, a strange atmosphere began to quietly permeate our team.

"Your Majesty, the management area of ​​the nearby area should be ahead."

In front of a passage exuding a deep atmosphere, Ruth nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "The management area is the core of the entire mining area. It is located in the most conspicuous position in the mine. It is usually the place where the mine leader works and stores precious resources. The magic traps deployed are also the most rigorous, and it may even be the location of the self-destruction array. So please wait for a moment and let us clean it up first."

"I understand. Then I'll trouble you."

Lei Xiao heard the voice and led our strong men to step back a few steps.

"Your Majesty is polite. We will be back soon."

Ruth took a deep breath slowly, and then walked into the passage with a group of light half-elves, and soon disappeared at the corner of the passage.

At the entrance of the passage, Lei Xiao had a slightly narrowed look.

Although Ruth was solemn just now, she showed some excitement in her words. It is not difficult to see that the object that the other party really wants is likely to be in a certain management area of ​​this ancient mine.

However, this ancient mine is currently full of treacherous and full of traps. It is not an easy task to find what you need, so Lei Xiao is not worried that the other party will get something so quickly. Instead, he can judge the approximate location of the object that he really wants based on the other party's footprints.

The reason why Lei Xiao is so concerned about the object that the light half-elves really need is mainly out of curiosity.

First, he is curious about what the object that they really want is, and second, the reason why the light half-elves are willing to lower their status to find it. After all, a group of light half-elves travel through mountains and rivers to find something in the ruins of the ancient mine of the dark elves is itself an extremely interesting thing.

Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this, a very violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the corner of the passage ahead, and then a strange and vast breath suddenly swept out, exuding a strong murderous aura.

"Your Majesty, it's the energy fluctuation of the summoning array. It seems that Lady Ruth and the others accidentally triggered the magic trap!"

The dragon face of Nar, who was guarding the door, was full of solemnity and tension, and he quickly said to Lei Xiao: "What should we do?"

"Of course, we can't sit back and do nothing."

Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and several sixth-level detection scrolls immediately emerged.

He activated it in the passage and said: "Let's go and take a look."

After that, a group of our strong men flew out in formation under the command of Lei Xiao and rushed into the passage.

As the group moved forward, after passing the corner of the passage, our group soon came to a very spacious hall.

In the center of the hall, Ruth and ten other light half-elves were surrounded by more than twice the number of black stone golem puppets. Judging from the energy fluctuations, the other party was obviously all at the sixth level.

As our people appeared, the golden magic patterns covering the black stone men flourished, and one by one they soared into the air, swinging their giant fists from all directions, aiming directly at Ruth and others in the center.

For a moment, the attack of more than 20 sixth-level strongmen was overwhelming, and the fierce energy fluctuations stirred the space, blowing the thick dust in the entire hall into wind and sand.

"Fortress of Light!"

Ruth and others also reacted very quickly, and thick magic walls composed of light curtains quickly condensed out, trying to slow down the opponent's offensive.

The thick black fists smashed the magic wall, making a crisp sound of broken glass. In front of the golem puppets that were obviously more powerful, the defensive spells performed by Ruth and several sixth-level magic strongmen were obviously not worth mentioning.

But at this moment, our warriors led by Lei Xiao and the dragonborn warriors had already rushed over and fought with the other side.

Among them, especially the flower and wood elf warriors led by Fanny and Chris, they also summoned more than a dozen sixth-level golem puppets of various shapes, instantly wiping out the opponent's strength advantage.

After Lei Xiao and others joined the battle, the hall, which was already filled with murderous aura, suddenly became more violent, and one after another majestic momentum collided with each other in the air, causing continuous strong winds to stir everywhere.

But when our warriors were fighting fiercely with the sudden golem puppets, no one noticed that a mysterious black shadow quietly poked his head out and was silently watching all this in the shadows at the corner of the passage. (End of this chapter)
