Chapter 828: Wisdom of an unknown race

At the same time as those scarlet eyes lit up, the expressions of Jiangli, Polygonum cuspidatum, and Hong Ye suddenly froze, and they immediately noticed something strange.

And just when Lei Xiao also sensed it, under the transmission of Jiang Li, he and Ariel and other subordinates instantly retreated hundreds of meters away.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of black and sturdy giant figures, like shells, soared into the sky from all over the town, and soon landed on the original location of the group.

For a moment, the heavy sound of these black figures falling to the ground caused the surrounding earth to shake, and the momentum was quite astonishing.

Surprised, Lei Xiao looked intently.

The heights of these giant figures are all above ten meters, amidst the dust, only pairs of shining scarlet eyes can be seen, looming in the flying dust.

"Good guy, even if you step on it, you can crush me flat."

Just as Lei Xiao pouted his lips and thought of this, a group of black giants suddenly rushed out of the sand and rushed towards the group of people.

At this point, Lei Xiao could clearly see the other party's true face.

Those were stone giants all dressed in black stone armor, holding black giant swords and black shields, and their appearance was extremely mighty.

As for the number, no more, no less, exactly 20, and the strength is above the fourth rank.

The most important thing is that although the opponent looks very cumbersome, his speed is extremely fast.

Almost in an instant, with a sky full of hostility, they were already close to the group of people!

While causing the earth to tremble, 20 giant opponents who attacked like hills crazily, the momentum can be described as extremely astonishing.

Wherever he went, there were footprints in deep ravines the size of cars on the ground.

"It's really bluffing. Maybe others will be at a loss, but it's a pity that you met me."

Facing an opponent full of murderous intent, Lei Xiao naturally would not sit still.

With a big wave of Lei Xiao's hand, the main subordinates, who had already been ready to go, were automatically divided into two camps, melee and long-range, and each began to show its special abilities.

boom! boom! boom!

Accompanied by a series of earth-shattering bangs.

The five black stone giants at the top of the fourth level were forcibly intercepted by Knotweed, Hong Ye, Lian, Sarah, and Ye Cang, and they fought fiercely together.

As for the other fourth-tier stone giants, due to their slower speed, they were also stopped by the thick ice wall cast by Fang Hai, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, and Ice Demon Garth.

Immediately afterwards, other long-range forces headed by Jiang Li, surrounded Lei Xiao in the middle, and at the same time cast their special attack magic.

Jiang Li's space traversal, Erza's magic missile, Ariel's aurora, Zhaoyan's fire dragon, Lina's multiple bone spear technique, and Lei Xiao's lightning strike are like magical storms, howling one after another Then, they smashed on the black stone giants one after another.

Even if the spell is cast very hastily, it can be supported by the weapons of the fifth rank and above of all members.

A wave of powerful magical impact still caused many stone giants to stagger and fall to the ground, unable to get up after struggling.

While the strong magic particles were vibrating, the space of Jiangli cut across the space, and even cut off the two stone giants next to each other at the waist, and directly reduced them to a pile of gravel in mid-air.

However, it can still be clearly seen that the magic defense of these black stone giants is extremely good, and most of them are still intact.

"My lord, the skin of these giant golem puppets is so thick, the magic resistance is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary golem puppets."

Lina blinked her slender eyelashes, seeing that the sharp bone spear she fired had little effect, and the leaves on her head couldn't help trembling slightly: "From this huge figure, it's hard to be a Titan." The product of the family?"

"But this small town is of ordinary size, not like the unbelievably huge buildings of the Titans."

Chaoyan pouted her small mouth, tilted her head and said in a daze, "Speaking of which, I always feel like I've seen this kind of black stone giant before."

"Except for the color and size, their appearance is almost identical to the guardians of the earth produced by the guardian defense agency."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and answered Chao Yan's question: "And it's also very good in terms of magic resistance."

"So, the summoners of these giant golem puppets, as well as the builder of this strange town, are the unknown race that created the defense agency of the territory guardian?"

As soon as Ariel's star pupils lit up, she immediately reacted.

"That's right, it is also all the original races of the "Magic Box of Eternal Night". I did not expect that the unknown race that once possessed one of the two "Keys of Truth" would show a mysterious corner here. "

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and continued: "It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth here."

Speaking of this, the stick of nature in Lei Xiao's hand was twinkling with lightning, he nodded to the surrounding subordinates and said: "Let's deal with these big guys first."

Then, under Lei Xiao's command, the 20 huge black stone guardians were quickly wiped out, turning into piles of rubble one after another.

When the last guardian of the black giant, which was reduced to gravel, turned into a little bit of energy particles and drifted away with the wind, the unscathed subordinates of the main force regrouped by Lei Xiao's side.

Although these 20 fourth-order black stone giants are extremely powerful, their momentum is even more shocking.

But Lei Xiao's group of 15 people included 3 fifth-tier powerhouses, 3 fourth-tier peak powerhouses, and 9 fourth-tier powerhouses.

Coupled with the fifth-tier and above equipment of all members, it is naturally easy to deal with these guys who only rely on their fighting instinct to attack.

It is worth mentioning that, as a legendary alchemist, Garth the Ice Demon was originally only a complete set of Tier 4 high-quality equipment.

But with Lei Xiao taking the time to wave his hand, he easily reached the full set of Tier 5 just like the other subordinates on the day of conquest, which further improved his strength.

"My lord, the perception of these golem puppets is really extremely sharp."

Ariel patted the dust on her face, fixed her brows and said, "I didn't expect that we were already noticed by the other party just when we approached the edge of the town."

"That's true. It stands to reason that we have suppressed the breath to the minimum. Under the circumstances that the strength is not much different, those golem puppets that are in a dormant state should not be discovered so quickly."

Jiang Li, who had just returned to the team, nodded in agreement and said: "And the subordinates have already sensed it carefully, and there is no detection barrier here."

"Don't forget that the team still has Erza's disguise."

Zhaoyan blinked her big eyes, and then added: "Although the effect of illusion camouflage is relatively limited for golem puppets, it is enough to disturb the opponent, but the opponent can ignore this, just like having extra detection The means are average."

"In this way, these guys are indeed a little sensitive."

Lei Xiao stroked his chin, nodded to his subordinates and said, "It seems that there must be something weird here. Before we formally enter the town to explore, let's check around."

Just now, Jiang Li, Polygonum cuspidatum, and Hong Ye had all-round perception and inspection of this small town from different angles.

Thick dust was falling everywhere in the town, and there were no energy fluctuations, and there were no traces of human activities, obviously it had been deserted for a long time.

"Obey, my lord."

The subordinates touched their chests and saluted, and began to look around outside the town.

Not long after, Chaoyan's surprise and surprise came to Lei Xiao's ears: "My lord, my subordinates have discovered something here!"

Since Lei Xiao was already used to this kind of unfolding, he simply stayed not far from Chao Yan, and soon rushed to the other party's side.

When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.

There are huge footprints left by those giant puppets, each of which is at least one meter deep, which looks quite visually impactful.

As for Chao Yan, she was standing in a deeper footprint, only showing the part above her shoulders.

"My lord, look quickly!"

Chaoyan pointed to the ground in the footprint pit, and blinked her big eyes at Lei Xiao: "There is a large strange metal plate buried here!"

Looking in the direction of Chaoyan's finger, Lei Xiao found a large metal plate hidden in the deep soil.

The exposed part of the metal plate is half a meter square, and the surface is extremely smooth, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding sand and stone.

"My lord, this is obviously artificially polished, and it is definitely not formed naturally."

Fang Hai, who rushed over after hearing the news, knelt down and inspected for a while, then fixed his gray eyebrows and said, "But why is there a metal plate buried here?"

"Let's take a look at the whole picture first."

Lei Xiao waved his hand to signal the old blacksmith not to worry, then nodded to the knotweed.

The knotweed knew what it was doing, and what it did was to show the entire metal plate in front of Lei Xiao.

I saw that this metal plate was about one meter square, smooth and translucent, without any magic lines, and it seemed to be nothing special.

"My lord, the point is not on the metal plate, just look there!"

Erza's slender and pointed ears moved, apparently discovering something again.

After being reminded by Ersha, Lei Xiao noticed further.

At the original position of the metal plate, faint magical blue lines were shining, but it was extremely inconspicuous under the sunlight.

"So, the metal plate was originally part of the blue magic circle?"

Ariel rested her chin with one hand, her fair face was full of contemplation, she nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's really a unique design."

"That's right, although there are many magic circles of various races, they are almost never connected to other objects. After all, the magic circle itself is already powerful enough, and there is no need to connect it."

Hong Ye nodded thoughtfully, and said with frowned eyebrows: "If this is not a coincidence, there will never be only one piece of this metal plate."

"It makes sense, let's take a look around again."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to continue the investigation.

Sure enough, the group soon found a large number of identical metal plates underground around the town.

These metal plates are arranged neatly, and each one is connected to the light blue magic circle, like floor tiles sunken deep in the ground, and the distribution is extremely even.

At the same time, a giant light blue magical enchantment buried underground stretched all the way to the town, and then appeared in front of Lei Xiao and the others.

"The magic power attached to this giant magic circle is extremely thin, and the magic lines on it are also very easy to understand. It can only transmit a simple flow of magic power, and it will never be a dangerous mechanism such as a magic trap."

Hong Ye, who had been guarding Lei Xiao's side all this time, heard a sassy voice, "Then, what is the function of this magic circle? Why are there so many metal plates with unknown uses? "

"It's amazing!"

As soon as Hong Ye's voice fell, I saw Chaoyan not far away, bouncing and saying: "Master Lord, as long as you step on these metal plates, the magic circle under it will transmit a stream of magic power to the center. Woolen cloth!"

"oh?"

Lei Xiao, who had also been frowned and thinking, immediately rushed to Chaoyan's place when he heard the sound.

I saw that the moment this girl jumped up and landed on the metal plate, the light blue magic circle under it would flicker quickly, as if some kind of switch was touched.

Looking at Chaoyan bouncing around like a happy groundhog, Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "I see, this magic circle is actually a pressure mechanism, and these metal plates are exactly A simple pressure sensor!"

"Pressure Sensor?"

Hearing this unfamiliar vocabulary full of modernity, the subordinates couldn't help but be puzzled, and they all looked at Lei Xiao.

"The matter is actually very simple. These metal plates sense our weight, and then pass it to the magic barrier below. It is convenient to be able to perceive our existence through this."

Lei Xiao first gave a concise explanation, and finally came to a conclusion: "Because of this, those sleeping guardian puppets discovered us at the first time, and then they were all awakened."

"So that's it! In other words, is this a special detection enchantment that perceives the target through the weight change on the ground?"

Ariel pondered for a moment~www.readwn.com~ and nodded suddenly: "It's such a wonderful design, no matter how perfect the illusion of disguise and other invisibility effects, it can't hide its own weight!"

"It's no wonder that the other party was able to detect our existence in an instant. I didn't expect this seemingly simple magic circle to achieve such a good effect. This is completely different from the ordinary detection enchantment."

With one hand on her hip, Hong Ye couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement, "Which race is it that has such a different idea?"

After Hong Ye finished talking, the other subordinates, including Jiang Li, also showed surprise, apparently also impressed by this special detection method.

"This unknown race is not only the maker of the territory guardian defense mechanism and the owner of the "Eternal Night Magic Box", but also able to enter here without passing the "Key of Truth". It is indeed extraordinary, It is indeed quite intelligent. "

On Lei Xiao's face, there was already a touch of curiosity and anticipation, and he looked towards the silent abandoned town ahead.

"Just walk in there and we'll be able to get to the truth right away."
