The nimble figures of Lei Xiao and his party were galloping in the thick fog. The ice bridge extending from the city wall behind them quickly disappeared, and everything in sight was hazy.
The constantly churning gray mist, mixed with an inexplicable rich fishy smell, kept passing by Lei Xiao's cheeks, and became stronger the deeper it went.
Even though Lei Xiao has been able to condense a translucent energy barrier that is almost comparable to a fifth-level powerhouse, he still feels that his nose is filled with the oncoming stench.
As for our strong men in the fourth-level strong group, many of them couldn't help but retched, and their faces were extremely ugly.
You must know that these strong men on our side are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They have all been beaten down from the battlefield. Even they have difficulty adapting to this inexplicable stench, which can be seen from this.
While their stomachs were churning, everyone couldn't help but be curious as to where this pungent smell came from.
"Lord, the fog ahead is getting thinner and thinner, we are about to pass through this area!"
The crisp sound of Jiang Li had just fallen, and Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by all the main powerhouses, had already broken through the fog, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
However, when Lei Xiao and the others who arrived one after another saw the scene in front of them clearly, they all couldn't help but inhale the sharp stench.
What caught Lei Xiao's eyes was a rich and deep dark red, as if he was in purgatory.
At a glance, whether it is the spacious streets of Glow City, the tall buildings on both sides, or the flower beds and fountains in the distance, almost everything is covered by layers of dark red rich fluid, emitting a strange red light.
.
Because the city is still covered by thick fog, which can be said to block the sky and the sun, everything you can see is full of darkness and dark red, which is shocking.
Feeling astonished in his heart, Lei Xiao concentrated his mind and began to observe further.
These dark red rich fluids are not one side or one piece, but are in the shape of slender branches, forming an intricate network with each other, and are even constantly crawling and growing from the ground, making the whole scene extremely weird.
"It's just a bunch of tangled dark red roots!"
Louise pinched her pretty nose tightly and frowned: "I have never seen such a disgusting scene before!"
After Louise's reminder, everyone responded one after another.
Just like the former said, these red fluids are indeed rapidly expanding like the roots of some kind of plant, seeming to be preparing to absorb nutrients.
"Your Highness, the stench comes from these roots."
Catherine frowned tightly, nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "As a vampire, I will not admit it wrong. There is a lot of blood smell in it, and there is no smell of any residents here..."
Catherine didn't finish her words, but the meaning was self-evident.
"Your Excellency, these roots also have the smell of that mysterious energy."
Bing Lao's wrinkled old face was full of solemnity, and he whispered in Lei Xiao's ear.
After most of Ice Stone City's energy-gathering array was restored, his scope of action also expanded a lot. At least it was easy to cover the entire Glow City.
"So, is this a direct result of the other party's so-called "divine plan"?"
Lei Xiao quickly connected everything together and frowned: "The reason why Glow City has been sealed by fog for hundreds of years is probably to hide these dark red roots shrouded in blood and stench, even if the roots at that time
It’s not a climate yet.”
"In other words, the other party has hidden the growth process of these dark red roots from scratch."
Cecilia's fair face was full of astonishment and astonishment, and she echoed: "It's simply unimaginable what the entire Glowing City and the people here have experienced over the past hundred years."
"We cannot participate in the past, but fortunately we still have the opportunity to control the future."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, then looked at the similarly shocked figures in the corner, and said calmly: "Everyone, you should have fully understood the situation now, right?"
Needless to say, what Lei Xiao was looking at was the other two powerful neutral organizations headed by Hui Lao and Yoniel. Although the opponent currently only has seven people, their strength cannot be underestimated.
Hearing the sound, Hui Lao and Yoniel averted their surprised gazes and couldn't help but look at each other.
As the leaders of the two neutral organizations, they naturally understood the current situation immediately.
Although no strong figure from the Black Abyss Brotherhood has yet appeared in the city, the scene in front of them has undoubtedly explained everything. The Temple of Light is indeed the culprit who attempts to subvert the human world.
"But what is the specific content of the so-called "holy plan"? What are these dark red roots used for?"
Before Mr. Hui and Yoniel could speak, Diana blurted out with confusion written all over her delicate face.
“The purpose of ‘roots’ is naturally to find ‘nutrients’.”
The wrinkles on the gray old face were a little deeper, and he responded: "And I did smell a bloodthirsty killing intent from these dark red roots. Although they have not grown to that stage yet, there is no need for it.
How long will it take, these roots will probably take the initiative to attack and turn all the living creatures they see into their own nutrients."
"Then what are you doing keeping these things?"
Hearing the sound, Durant drew his broad-bladed sword and slashed at the nearest dark red root with all his strength.
A majestic sword energy was seen surging out. Although it directly cut off the wall behind it, the dark red roots winding on it were not affected in any way and were still extending in other directions.
After getting Lei Xiao's permission, Hongye also turned on all his firepower, causing a blazing flame to instantly rise and sweep towards the pile of dark red roots in the distance.
However, as the flames burned a square fountain directly into nothingness, those dark red roots were still intact, but they just changed the direction of movement.
"this……"
Seeing that the full-strength attacks of the two fifth-level powerhouses had no effect, the other powerhouses present began to look at each other in confusion.
This undoubtedly means that once these roots really take the initiative to attack, no one will be able to escape their clutches!
"It's useless. Only by truly destroying the core of these roots can we completely destroy them. Otherwise, everything will be in vain."
Bing Lao waved his hand, and several obviously sharper ice blades shot towards the nearest dark red roots.
Following the flash of several sharp blue lights, this time, although the dark red roots were all cut off by the ice blade, they quickly grew back and were even a bit more lush than before.
Seeing this scene, while all the powerful men were shocked, Hui Lao and Yoniel also took a breath of cold air.
Their strength is at most the same as Bing Lao, and even Bing Lao can't do anything to the dark red roots, so naturally they are powerless.
Among all the strong men, only one person still looked excited, and that was Antonio.
After seeing Bing Lao display his power several times, the old magician seemed to regard Bing Lao as a god-like existence, and wished he could join him immediately, even diluting the shock and fear he saw along the way.
"Then what exactly are these "roots" doing to absorb "nutrients"?"
Looking at the invincible dark red fluid in front of her, Diana was frightened in her heart and couldn't help blurting out.
"Of course it's to nourish the 'fruit'."
Yoniel's old face was full of solemnity and he responded: "I'm afraid this is the ultimate goal of the other party's so-called "sacred plan"."
""fruit"?"
Diana was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Did that mysterious existence regard herself as this so-called 'fruit'?"
"In some taboo spells, it is indeed feasible to absorb others to improve one's own strength."
The gray old man's gray eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and he affirmed: "I'm afraid he not only regards himself as the target of cultivation, but also the people he chooses. Judging from the current scale, at least he can
Many fifth-level and even sixth-level experts were born in an instant."
"Lord, no wonder besides the "rebels", there are many princes and nobles who have chosen to join the Black Abyss Brotherhood."
Hearing this, Huzhang nodded thoughtfully and said to Lei Xiao: "If the sudden increase in strength is used as a temptation, everything will indeed make sense!"
"Yes, in other words, the entire Glow City has become a huge cultivation place."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, nodded and said: "And the mist is the curtain of the cultivation place."
"No wonder the other party took away a large number of residents of Huangyao City and our soldiers when they retreated. It seems that they also regarded them as tools for nourishment!"
Catherine involuntarily hugged Lei Xiao's arm and said sternly: "Your Highness, we must speed up, otherwise the lives of the soldiers and residents will be at risk."
"It's not just them, don't forget that we are also in this huge nurturing ground."
Lei Xiao affirmed Catherine's words and said solemnly: "If we cannot destroy this place, it will become nourishment for the enemy."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the powerful men were frightened in their hearts and couldn't help but clenched the weapons in their hands again.
The meaning in Lei Xiao's words is very obvious. We have no way out, and only a last-ditch fight can bring us a glimmer of hope!
"Let's go, just like what Bing Lao said, only by destroying the core of these roots can everything end, and the core must be hidden deep in the city."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the giant white buildings standing vaguely in the darkness in the distance. That was the core area of the inner city of Glow City, where the main hall of the Temple of Light was located.
Having said that, Lei Xiao took the brunt and flew towards the depths of the city covered in darkness and dark red.
The other strong men on our side also followed closely behind Lei Xiao.
While moving towards the core of the city, the group noticed further.
The deeper you go into the city, the denser the stinking dark red roots become.
These dark red colors either emerged from the sewers or broke out of the ground, just like the tentacles of the devil, spreading in every corner of this lifeless giant city.
Looking at these dense dark reds, Lei Xiao, who came to this city for the first time, and our strong men were a little calmer.
But Hui Lao, Yoniel and others, who had been here countless times, looked at each other speechlessly and could only sigh secretly in their hearts.
This ancient city, once full of vitality and brilliance, has always been known as the first city in the human world. It is a place where all the beauty and hope are gathered in the hearts of countless people. Everywhere is filled with laughter, laughter and pious prayers.
But now, this place is covered in stench, blood and darkness, leaving only a lifeless and silent despair, like a bottomless abyss.
While sighing, the two top human race experts who were also following Lei Xiao had a look of happiness on their wrinkled old faces involuntarily.
Fortunately, the young man from another world in front of us was not afraid of power and fire, and came all the way through thorns and thorns. He arrived here before the opponent's plan was fully implemented, giving us a glimmer of hope to stop the opponent.
If it were just the two of them, I'm afraid they would still be suspicious of each other, and thus miss the best opportunity to save the situation.
Thinking of this in their hearts, these two world-famous dragon-slaying warriors couldn't help but glance at Lei Xiao, and they all made up their minds in their hearts, determined to advance and retreat together with the young people from the alien world in front of them, and save the human world together.
In crisis.
"Your Highness, since the other party has been plotting for hundreds of years and playing such a huge game of chess, could it be that they just turned Glowing City into a place of cultivation?"
Diana arrived not far from Lei Xiao at some point. Her fair face was filled with doubts as she said, "If we hadn't come here or even attacked Huangyao City, wouldn't the opponent have lost a lot of nourishment tools?"
"This is also a question I have always wondered."
Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "I think the other party's ambition is not limited to this, otherwise there is no need to take the risk of controlling the royal families of various countries...unless he regards the entire human world as a target!"
When he said this, even Lei Xiao himself was shocked. The branches of the Temple of Light are spread across every corner of the human world.
The other party also used a powerful barrier to isolate the Cold Flame Kingdom from the human world, and controlled countless Cold Flame soldiers and people.
If the other party really plans to absorb everything, then the entire human world is undoubtedly the best choice!
In this way, it can further explain why the other party has been plotting for a hundred years, otherwise it would obviously not have taken such a long time if it was just a Glow City.
"If this is really the case, then not only us in the city, but also the territories thousands of miles away, Ariel and other alien lords will probably be in extremely dangerous situations."
Just when Lei Xiao was in great shock, a burst of unbridled laughter suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"Despicable alien scum, it seems you have noticed that, yes, the entire human world will become my stepping stone."
"Struggling in despair and powerlessness, you will soon witness a great change, Jie Jie Jie!"
