Chapter 1369 The crisis ahead and the people behind

In the turbulent ancient mine hall, with Lei Xiao leading the strong men to join the battle, those dark stone golem puppets were soon completely at a disadvantage, and began to retreat from besieging Ruth and others.

During the fierce battle, Lei Xiao made further discoveries.

Although the physical and magical defenses of these sixth-level stone golem puppets were extremely amazing, making it difficult for ordinary sixth-level strong men to shake them, their own speed was obviously slower.

Taking advantage of this weakness, under the command of Lei Xiao, our strong men first cast a binding spell to further slow down their speed, and then concentrated their fire attacks, and soon defeated these hard guys one after another, and restored them to free energy particles in the air.

It didn't take long, and with the last dark stone man falling down under the siege of our strong men, the entire ancient hall had returned to calm, leaving only the dust floating in the sky.

"Everyone has worked hard. Rest here for a while."

Lei Xiao waved his hand gently, and then looked around. He saw that the entire hall had not suffered much damage except for some superficial energy scratches on the ground and walls.

This is no wonder. Although the strong men who participated in the fierce battle just now were all at the sixth level, the destructive power of each one was extremely amazing.

However, since the sixth-level strong men have reached a perfect level of control over their own energy, almost punching to the flesh, so the battlefield does not look too intense.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I was careless for a moment and didn't notice the hidden summoning magic trap!"

Ruth walked quickly to Lei Xiao and said apologetically: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. I'm sorry for causing trouble to your Majesty and you."

"No, don't blame Miss, it was my rashness that triggered the magic trap in the hall."

Myron stepped forward and shook his head helplessly, saying: "It's all because I was too anxious."

"You two don't have to do this. Supporting you is what we should do. After all, we are all explorers who advance and retreat together, and there is no difference between us."

Lei Xiao smiled and waved his hand, then he restrained his smile and said seriously: "But since we treat each other with sincerity, I hope you don't hide your thoughts, otherwise the road ahead will still be full of crises, which is something no one present wants to see."

Needless to say, what Lei Xiao was referring to was exactly what the light half-elves really wanted.

When he just came to the hall, Lei Xiao quickly noticed it.

Next to the besieged light half-elves, there is an old room similar to an office, and there are still some energy fluctuations of the summoning array on the threshold.

It is not difficult to see that the light half-elves are obviously eager to step into the room, which accidentally triggered the magic trap.

If the other party is just looking for what they want step by step, Lei Xiao may not make it clear, but if the other party's behavior puts us in danger, Lei Xiao will naturally not let it continue.

"Your Majesty is right, we will pay attention to it in the future."

A complex emotion flashed across Ruth's starry eyes, and she nodded slightly.

Lei Xiao has made his words so clear, so she naturally understands what Lei Xiao has noticed a long time ago.

After a pause, Ruth added a sentence without any beginning or end, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and everyone of the human race, everything we do is just for our people, and there is no other intention."

"I believe in the determination of Her Excellency Ruth and everyone, let's continue."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and commanded the strong men to line up again.

After that, the group quickly explored the management area and did not find anything worth noting.

As for the office room just now, it only displayed a few kinds of long-sealed ores, and other things had long been corroded.

Going back along the corridor from when we came, just as Lei Xiao and his group turned the corner of the corridor and walked towards the vast area of ​​the main mining area, the scene in front of us immediately stunned everyone on our side.

I saw that the densely packed dark elf miners had surrounded the entrance of the passage, and everyone had a pale face, with violent and grim eyes, just like the scene we met before.

However, compared with the few dark elf miners before, there were tens of thousands of dark elves this time, all of whom looked at us with gloomy faces.

Among them, in addition to the ordinary miners of the dark elves and affiliated forces, there were also many fully armed dark elf soldiers, with obvious vast energy fluctuations emanating from their bodies.

Lei Xiao even saw that the strong men in the lead were the dark elf demigods who led the team to attack the twisted giant shadow before.

This time, although the other party all maintained a dead silence and did not mechanically repeat the previous words, from the gloomy eyes, they were all filled with obvious murderous intent.

"What's going on? Why are they gathering here?"

Seeing this unexpected scene, beads of sweat immediately appeared on Broy's forehead.

You know, even the ordinary miners here are mostly above the fifth level, not to mention those more powerful soldiers.

With such terrifying numbers and such amazing strength, once they start fighting with us, they will undoubtedly be able to wipe us all out in an instant.

For a moment, the steps of everyone in our party couldn't help but stagnate, and they all clenched the weapons in their hands, not daring to be careless at all.

"I'm afraid the fierce battle just now attracted the attention of these guys."

Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and began to observe the surrounding situation.

Currently, our group is at the corner of the passage, and there is still some distance before we can walk out of the passage. Although this passage is quite spacious, its area is relatively limited after all.

In other words, with the current narrow terrain, we may not be in an overly passive situation.

But this is only a theoretical situation. After all, the other party is not a real life form, but a specious existence. No one knows whether the passage wall will successfully block the other party's footsteps. Once the other party can ignore this, then I Fang naturally has no danger to defend, and the result is obvious.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao suddenly fell into a dilemma. The gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves was too great, and one wrong step would surely lead to disaster.

At the front of the team, half-elves such as Ruth and Myron did not dare to move rashly. Their stiff movements and even their daring not to breathe loudly showed that they were obviously aware of this.

"Your Majesty, human race, what should we do?"

Beside Lei Xiao, Fanny and Chris were on the left and right, their fair faces full of solemnity.

They also clearly understand in their hearts that we are only one step away from destruction.

"The appearance of these guys is too sudden, so it's better to be careful."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and responded: "At present, although the opponent is full of hostility, since they have not taken the initiative to attack, it means that we still have room for maneuver."

"Human, His Majesty and everyone, don't worry. Although these guys are quite aggressive, they disappear every time before they reach us. It may be the same situation this time."

Nal's dragon, who was caught in the middle of the team, had beads of sweat on his face and said cautiously: "In other words, we don't have to be afraid of them. They can't cause real harm to us."

After Nal obviously had no confidence, the tension in the entire team not only did not ease, but actually became more tense.

Although that is said, under the current circumstances, we have no chance of making mistakes. Who can be sure that the other party can really not cause harm? Once we make a mistake in judgment, we will really fall into a situation of no return.

After a while, Nall obviously adjusted his mood and mustered up the courage to say: "Why don't you let me go up and give it a try first."

Upon hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's nerves immediately became tense. This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous move when everything was still unclear.

According to Lei Xiao's idea, we should first try to send some alchemy puppets or golem puppets forward, instead of directly contacting the opponent.

Just when Lei Xiao was about to say something to stop the other party, a clear and strange female voice suddenly sounded from behind the group of people: "Reckless dragon head, your actions will directly lead to the annihilation of the entire army."

"Who, who's talking?"

Nal was already extremely nervous. After hearing these sudden words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his body became extremely stiff.

Not only Naal, but everyone else on our team, including Lei Xiao, also had stern looks on their faces, and they all looked behind them as calmly as possible.

I saw a young dark elf woman wearing a miner's uniform standing there, smiling brightly at everyone in our party.

He looks to be in his early twenties, with a fair and translucent face and long pointed ears that are extremely eye-catching.

Especially the clothes that were obviously one size larger made the other party look a little baggy and extremely leisurely.

This scene undoubtedly formed a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere of everyone on our side.

"Who?"

The energy barrier around Bing Lao, who was in charge of the rear, suddenly became more intense, and his face was full of solemnity and nervousness.

With his current sixth-level three-star strength, he actually didn't sense a single breath of the other party, even if the other party was currently close at hand.

"Old sir, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions and no reason to be hostile to you."

The young dark elf blinked his long eyelashes, tilted his head and said, "I'm just curious about why you are here. You know, since the day I was born, I have never seen anyone outside the mine."

"We are just a group of explorers pursuing the truth."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, first signaling to Mr. Bing not to be too nervous, and then responded: "If there is any irritation, please forgive me. We don't know that there are other people here."

"You don't have to explain this to me. I'm not an aborigine here. The real aborigines are them."

The young dark elf pointed at the dark elves outside the passage, raised his eyebrows and said, "You have entered their territory without permission, and they will naturally be hostile to you."

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao and the others began to look at each other in confusion.

Although the other party only said a few words, the amount of information seemed to be too much.

First of all, the other party claims that he is not an aboriginal here, but he also claims to be born here, which is obviously contradictory. After all, the other party looks no different from other dark elves. So the question is, what is the identity of the other party?

Secondly, the other party mentioned that the dark elves who are hostile to us are the indigenous people here, but this goes back to the previous problem.

The vitality of those dark elves is ambiguous. They are not real life forms, nor are they non-life forms such as golems and puppets. How can they exist until now? Or in other words, what kind of existence are they?

Finally, why did the other party choose to show up at this time? Did they want to help us out? But why did they do this?

"I know you must have a lot of questions, especially in this dilemma."

The young dark elf shrugged and smiled, "Then let's start with my identity."

After that, a familiar energy fluctuation surged from his body, but it quickly disappeared.

"This energy fluctuation with vitality... So you are the source of the strange energy fluctuation at the beginning?"

Ruth was the first to react and blurted out.

"That's right, I'm not the monster you're talking about, nor am I trying to hide myself, because as long as I want, you can't find my existence at all."

The young dark elf raised his eyebrows again and responded: "I originally wanted to say hello to you, but seeing that you were so nervous at the time, I had to observe you for a while longer."

"So that's the case, it seems that we are too nervous."

Lei Xiao tried to use a soothing tone and smiled: "What is your name?"

"Name?"

The young dark elf tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't have a name, and I don't need a name here."

"Then I'll just call you Your Excellency for now."

Lei Xiao did not dwell on this question any more, but immediately asked: "Since you have just given a friendly reminder, it means that you are not standing against us. So, do you have any way to solve the crisis in front of us?"

"That's easy. I have been with them for thousands of years, so there is naturally no problem."

The young dark elf blinked his long eyelashes and responded: "It's just that doing this can indeed help you solve the crisis, but it is of no benefit to me. Why should I help you?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao and our strong men couldn't help but look at each other again. Things are really not that simple. It seems that the other party wants to take advantage of the fire.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao calmed down and asked again: "I understand, then what benefits do you want?"

"What I want is actually very simple."

The young dark elf's starry eyes flickered, and he began to look up and down at Lei Xiao. (End of this chapter)
