"Lord, ahead is the Upside Down Canyon where this time the cinephile market will be opened."
The morning sun was bright, and on a mountain top with a wide view, Erza stroked her chest and saluted, and reported to Lei Xiao.
I saw faint gray energy fluctuations exuding all over her body, forming a special illusion area, completely enveloping our group in it. This is the group invisibility technique that only senior illusionists can master.
After Erza advanced to the fifth level, coupled with the ancestral sixth-level illusion ring and the assistance of Xiao Huan, her camouflage ability has reached an extremely good level, enough to defeat even the strongest people who are half a step below the sixth level.
Can't detect any clues.
Although this is still difficult to hide from the eyes of the sixth-level experts, for our current team, it is already the strongest level of illusion disguise.
As for Xiaojie's secret method of forming an absolute defensive barrier, although it has a stronger invisibility function, it cannot always maintain its effect when moving quickly. Each has its own pros and cons.
"It's really not that far from the human realm."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and walked out from surrounded by a group of powerful men.
Surrounding Lei Xiao were not only two sixth-level powerhouses, Yoniel and Hui Lao, but also two half-step sixth-level powerhouses, Diana and Louise.
And the six fifth-level main subordinates Jiang Li, Qiduo, Huzhang, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, and Gars, the fifth-level former god's attendant Shuang, who is very familiar with the land of gods, and Xiao Jie and other stone elves are also following him.
In addition, Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City have also stayed in the farthest areas that can be reached currently. Although there is still some distance from here, it can be regarded as a considerable boost.
"Generally speaking, this is the strongest lineup I can come up with."
Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and a brand new teleportation cornerstone emerged. According to the planned plan, this was undoubtedly a key part of the emergency plan.
After putting away the teleportation cornerstone, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the target location.
At the end of the broad area ahead, a barren and weird narrow canyon came into view like a giant crack embedded in the vast world.
Although it can't be seen clearly, it can be vaguely observed that there is no grass growing in the canyon composed of yellow sand and gravel, and there is a lifeless and desolate atmosphere everywhere.
This is not the most important thing. Just as Erza said, there are large and small rocks suspended everywhere in the area where the canyon is located. Even in mid-air, there are strange rocks, which are out of tune with the surrounding ordinary environment, as if they are out of place.
Belonging to this world.
"It's really a shocking sight."
Lei Xiao concentrated on the perception for a moment, and couldn't help but blurt out.
Even at this distance, one can clearly feel the violent energy fluctuations coming from the canyon, causing the energy particles in the surrounding area to become chaotic, almost exactly like the environment on the battlefield.
Lei Xiao watched and nodded thoughtfully.
According to their own arrangements, some of the main subordinates have been secretly conducting reconnaissance and surveillance near the canyon since the invitation letter showed the specific time a week ago. However, no clues about the trap were found.
Coupled with my previous inference, this undoubtedly shows that the possibility of the invitation letter being fake is not high.
But if the invitation is genuine, why did the cinephile market choose to be held in this location? This is still extremely confusing.
Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality, and immediately opened his mouth to speak, and said to his twin sisters who were still investigating in the hidden part of the canyon: "Nanxing, how is the situation nearby?"
"Back to the lord, everything is normal and nothing unusual happened."
Nan Xing's crisp voice quickly came over, and he responded: "According to the Lord's instructions, the observation points of the subordinates are extremely hidden, and they also used the sixth-level concealment scroll, but they still did not find any other participants or fans.
Traces of the Shadow Market."
"I understand, just continue to observe."
Lei Xiao stopped talking and took out the invitation to the cinephile market.
According to the content of the invitation, today is indeed the date of the cinephile market, and there is a pattern at the back that says "the two suns, one large and one small, are mostly visible."
This is an ancient time symbol that represents the hour after sunrise.
"It's exactly one hour after sunrise, so the date and location are right, but there's no sign of any attendees? Not even the organizer, Cinephilia Market, showed up."
Lei Xiao put down the invitation and looked at the empty entrance to the Upside Down Canyon at the end of the vast world, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Lord, this is simply too strange."
Gals, who had participated in a cinephilia market before, took a step forward and said: "When I participated in the cinephilia market, the scene was very lively. There were thousands of people around the huge cinephilia market, but they were very orderly.
Everyone enters the hall one after another, no matter how you look at it, it is completely different from this silent scene."
After hearing Garth's words, Lei Xiao's eyebrows furrowed a little more.
Esther, who had participated in the Cinephilia Fair like Garth, had also told about a similar scene, but the scene before her did not have any trace of a fair.
"Your Majesty, it seems that things are indeed not as simple as they appear on the surface."
A respectful old voice sounded, and Yoniel, who also learned the whole story, stepped forward, touched his chest and saluted: "In my opinion, for the sake of His Majesty's safety, why don't we go back and discuss it later?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, everything ahead is unknown. It would be too dangerous for you to go into battle in person."
Hui Lao also stepped forward and echoed with a worried look on his face: "It's not too late to wait until everything is found out before making plans."
"I understand the worries of the two old presidents, but in the face of a crisis that may come at any time, we have no way to retreat."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded with a smile: "It is crucial for us to repair the God's Land a day earlier, or to find a breakthrough in the outer domain a day earlier. Don't forget that the time left for us is already extremely limited.
"For myself, for each of you, and for the entire human world, we can only see a glimmer of hope by moving forward."
"Because it's not just the Cataclysm, opponents in other sectors are also rushing to move forward, and once we stop, it's no different from retreating."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, although there was still a trace of worry on the old faces of the two old presidents, they still nodded heavily.
After all, it is under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor that the human world can emerge from the roots of destruction. If it relies solely on them, the results will naturally be self-evident.
It is precisely because of His Majesty's race against time that hope will appear in the future!
"Old minister, I understand. I will follow closely behind His Majesty to protect His Majesty's safety!"
s??????.???
Yoniel solemnly touched his chest and saluted, and the gray old man also made the same gesture.
"Then let's take a look further."
Lei Xiao nodded to everyone, and immediately the group disappeared from the place, as if they had never appeared.
Along with Jiang Li's teleportation and the group's lightning-fast footsteps, the Upside Down Canyon that was still at the end of the horizon began to become clearer, and with it, the energy particles in the air became more chaotic.
"Lord, this Upside Down Canyon is really weird. It can actually affect the energy particles in the air to such an extent. This is no less than a million-scale super-large battlefield."
Qi Duo tightened her grip on the long bow in her hand and did not dare to hesitate for a moment.
"Indeed, and we are still some distance from the entrance."
Jiang Lei also tensed up her nerves, with gray magic flowing at the top of the staff, always ready for teleportation.
"Since the Era, the Upside Down Canyon, one of the more well-known wonders of Outland, has been standing in this place. No one knows how it was formed."
Erza, who was in the center of the team, concentrated on her efforts to support the group invisibility technique in the increasingly chaotic energy flow, and said: "It is said that even if a gravity magician or a great magician with the same attributes enters, they cannot be found at all.
Any reason."
“It truly is a magical place.”
Lei Xiao looked up at the countless stones suspended in the air in front of him, and then moved his eyes downwards, looking towards the entrance of the canyon. It was a vast area, still empty, and looked like a flat river.
"Is it invisible?"
Looking at the empty ground, Lei Xiao once again felt doubts in his heart.
He, who owns Ice Stone City and Crystal Blue City, clearly understands that the Land of the Gods has a perfect invisibility function, but since the other party is going to hold a market, it should not be invisible no matter how much he thinks about it.
"Let me see what kind of medicine the other person is selling in his gourd."
Lei Xiao made a gesture to move forward, and the group of people turned into shadows again and disappeared in an instant.
It didn't take long, and despite the increasingly chaotic energy fluctuations emanating from the Upside Down Canyon, Lei Xiao and his party were already very close to the entrance.
At such a close distance, the suspended stones and gravel not far away seemed to be within reach, as if time had stood still and motionless in mid-air, which looked even more shocking.
However, the group's attention was not focused on the shocking sight, but instead focused on the open space ahead.
"Lord, since the other party has not shown up yet, there is no reason for us to show up first. Why don't we let my subordinates come down and take a shot to see if the other party is here."
Hong Ye's starry eyes flashed with anger, she stroked her chest and saluted Lei Xiao: "Since the other party doesn't know how to treat guests, then there is no need for us to be polite to him."
"Then let's do it this way, be careful and just test whether there are any obstacles ahead."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the others to step back.
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Hong Ye's whole body suddenly surged with vast energy fluctuations, and his momentum was obviously stronger than before.
It’s no wonder that after Lei Xiao’s further training, Hong Ye’s strength has gone from five-level two-stars to five-level seven-stars. Although it has not yet reached the fifth-level peak, with the special blessing of the dragon’s physique, it is enough to compete with the ordinary fifth-level peak.
If the strong ones compete against each other, they will be able to rank among the top leaders of the human race and the national level.
Just when Hong Ye had just drawn a flaming magic circle in mid-air, a giant city had already emerged in front of everyone, standing at the entrance of the Upside Down Canyon.
For a moment, in front of the huge city that suddenly appeared, our group instantly seemed dwarfed. The scene was quite spectacular.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao gently patted Hong Ye's shoulder, and while signaling the other party to stop casting spells, he looked up towards the giant city.
Judging from the appearance, this city is indeed comparable in size to Crystal Blue City, Ice Stone City, and even the City of Light. It is easily comparable to the largest city in the human world. It looks extremely majestic, and it completely blocks the upside-down canyon behind it.
stand up.
However, compared to the blue walls of Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City and the white walls of City of Light, the walls of this strange city are dark brown and appear thicker.
"Lord, this is indeed exactly the same as the cinephile market that my subordinates saw back then!"
Garth's somewhat excited voice soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
"It seems that the authenticity of the invitation letter can be confirmed, and the conjecture that the cinephile market is a place blessed by gods has also been confirmed. The question is why did the other party set the venue of the market here? And there are no others.
attendee."
Just as Lei Xiao finished speaking, a strange bass with a deep and hoarse voice sounded.
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty the Human Emperor. In order to confirm your identity, the market did not show up at the first time. Please allow me, as the market manager, to welcome your Majesty!"
As the strange bass voice fell, the fifteen-meter-high city gate slowly opened, allowing everything in the city to be revealed in front of Lei Xiao.
Looking into the city, I saw that the spacious streets were empty, with only two teams of soldiers wearing brown heavy armor and thick face protection standing neatly on both sides of the city gate.
Judging from the appearance, this is obviously the market guard mentioned by Garth and Esther."
"Twenty fifth-level peak market guardians? Judging from the formation, it is obviously not as strong as Gals and Esther said. As for the guy who claims to be the manager, he should be the leader of this city.
."
Lei Xiao's scrutinizing eyes wandered, and after confirming that no other powerful opponent appeared, he said: "Dear Manager, you went through all the trouble to deliver the invitation letter to the market to me, but you behaved so abnormally.
, you can’t even see other participants, it’s time to talk about your true purpose, right?”
"Haha, Your Majesty is serious. The matter may not be as complicated as Your Majesty said."
The administrator's dull and hoarse voice sounded again, and responded: "Please come into the city, and I will explain the ins and outs of the matter to your majesty."
"There's no need to go into the city. You haven't gained my trust yet."
Lei Xiao didn't hesitate at all and directly rejected the other party's proposal.
Before things are clear, we will naturally not go deep into the other side's territory at will.
Lei Xiao changed the topic and said: "Why don't you ask the manager to condescend and come out of the city to talk to us?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the other party immediately fell silent.
