In the dense dragon mirage that has been partially dispersed, our strong men are advancing quietly under the command of Lei Xiao, moving quickly towards the entrance of the dragon's lair not far away.
Lei Xiao looked at the figures of our strong men flying past one by one, and nodded thoughtfully.
Just now, I had ordered Yoniel and other powerful sixth-level men on our side to use dozens of sixth-level detection scrolls to carry out separate investigations, and did not find any magic traps or traps near the entrance of the lair.
Other suspicious signs.
In addition, after hundreds of years of dwarf research on dragon mirages, I already knew it.
Perhaps because they believed that the absolute defensive barrier would not be broken, or because of arrogance, the dragons did not deploy sentries at the entrance of the lair, and the energy particles in the dragon mirage were extremely chaotic. Even if the opponent deployed a detection barrier,
The world cannot play its due role.
This means that as long as I can destroy the opponent's absolute protective barrier in one fell swoop according to the original plan, I can easily break into the opponent's lair. Only then will the battle begin, and it will also be the time to truly test our side.
Not long after, a huge cave entrance with a diameter of 30 meters appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"It is indeed a dragon's lair. I have never seen such a big cave entrance."
Lei Xiao looked up at the huge hollow, which was more than ten stories high, and slowly took a deep breath.
I could see the rich magic flow on the surface of the cave entrance flickering from time to time, faintly exuding an unshakable vast momentum, and it was indeed covered with an extremely thick and absolute defensive barrier.
In front of Lei Xiao, there were 20 dwarf sixth-level alchemy puppets, including Chris and Shuert, 20 tree-level six strong men, 10 wood goblin sixth-level strong men, and Yoni.
You and Hui Lao have already stood still, preparing to launch a crucial blow.
Behind the group of sixth-level powerhouses, there are hundreds of fifth-level powerhouses waiting in formation, ready to provide support at any time.
As for the further back, there are ordinary soldiers below the fourth level.
Among them, there are many wood elf legions cooperating with the dwarf elf legions that opened the way. They have begun to approach the entrances of the other two lairs, ready to move in and establish a defense line at any time.
After all, according to the investigation of the dwarfs, the entrances to these three lairs are all covered by the same absolute defensive barrier. As long as one can be broken, the other two will naturally collapse.
At a glance, the giant phalanx formations were neatly arranged and spread out on this huge mountain platform. Wumeng Peak was so vast. Even so, there was no sign of crowding at all.
"Lord, something is wrong."
Just as our strong men were taking their positions and preparing to attack, Xiaojie, who was beside Lei Xiao, looked at the increasingly clear entrance to the dragon's lair in front of her, and suddenly blurted out.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the sound, not only Lei Xiao's expression suddenly froze, but Broy and Chris around him also looked over nervously.
"Lord, my subordinates feel that a mysterious and huge confinement barrier seems to be quietly activated!"
Xiaojie's fair face was full of panic, and she quickly added: "I, what should we do?"
"Xiaojie, activate "Lord's Asylum" immediately."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and ordered decisively: "Shrink the formation, there must be traps around us!"
The "Lord's Protection" mentioned by Lei Xiao is naturally Xiaojie's exclusive skill, and it is also an absolute defensive barrier that can be erected in an instant.
As Lei Xiao's words fell, Xiaojie's whole body suddenly flashed with colorful lights, and a rich energy wave surged out from Xiaojie's slender body.
Wherever the energy fluctuations went, exquisite and mysterious magic arrays instantly appeared on the ground, and then connected with each other, and started to rotate at high speed, until they reached the edge of our camp.
The next second, a huge translucent magical barrier with brilliant colors rose rapidly from all directions on the edge of our camp, gradually forming a standard huge semicircle in mid-air, which looked extremely spectacular.
Although we have a large number of soldiers, Xiaojie's secret method is at the giant city level. The largest one is enough to protect a giant city that is like a land of gods, so covering the entire camp is not a problem.
"The powerful magicians first stationed themselves in the energy supply array, the ones on the ground that emit golden brilliance..."
Since all of this happened in a flash of lightning, this time, before Lei Xiao could even finish his words, the change had already occurred.
At the moment when the semicircular absolute defense barrier condensed by Xiaojie in the sky was about to close, a larger black barrier emerged out of thin air, completely covering the absolute defense barrier, and then shrank rapidly like a landslide and tsunami.
, coming from all directions to press heavily on our unsteady absolute defense barrier!
Bang!
The muffled sound of the two barriers colliding violently was heard. Because the absolute defense barrier cast by Xiaojie had not had time to close, it was in an extremely unstable state. In addition, our strong men had not yet had time to find it.
The energy supply circle begins to deliver magic power to the barrier.
Therefore, the magic barrier between the enemy and ours only stood in a stalemate for a moment. The sound of crackling glass was heard, and our absolute defense barrier shattered in response. All the magic formations on the ground also dissipated, making Xiaojie feel as if she was being affected.
Like a heavy blow, he collapsed on the ground with a pale face.
Seeing this scene, Hong Ye on the side subconsciously prepared to help Xiaojie up, but the black magic barrier did not stop, but continued to shrink inward.
In the blink of an eye, a heavy pressure like Mount Tai descended from the sky, causing our soldiers who were caught off guard to be crushed to the ground one after another, unable to move at all.
In our camp that instantly collapsed, especially those wood fairies suspended in mid-air, almost all fell heavily, and their two pairs of wings were pressed firmly to the ground, and they could only let out feeble whimpers.
"Well……"
Listening to the groans of pain around him, Lei Xiao tried his best to mobilize the power of the gods and finally managed to straighten his body.
Looking around, not only the dark soldiers at the rear, but also our fifth-level strongmen who were responsible for supporting were almost all suppressed to the ground. Only a group of sixth-level strongmen were still standing around, but they were just following the strong ones.
Judging from the obviously slow movements, it is obvious that he has been greatly affected.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed a confinement barrier!"
I saw Yoniel subconsciously protecting Lei Xiao, his pale old face full of solemnity, solemnly saying: "Please rest assured, your majesty, I will protect your majesty to the death!"
After Yonier finished speaking, Hui Lao also took a step forward and blocked Lei Xiao's front with their bodies.
"Everyone must be careful. The strength of this sixth-level confinement barrier is astonishing. It probably took at least three to four hundred years of construction and continuous improvement, and even used a large number of ultra-high-quality magic crystals to assist it, before it can reach this level."
Shuert's hoarse voice also revealed a touch of uncontrollable solemnity, and he said: "It seems that these dragons are by no means as underestimating as we imagined."
After all, Shuert, who was in human form, tried to transform back into tree form, but failed. Even at level six and three stars, he could barely move under the heavy pressure, let alone trying to break the shackles of the barrier.
.
"I'm sorry everyone, it's all because we didn't detect the information about the confinement barrier in the dragon mirage."
Broy, who was only a fifth-level senior expert, could not get up at all. He was forced to cling to the ground with a face full of pain and said: "It's us who have caused trouble for you."
"Your Majesty the Elf, there is no need to apologize. Since the other party has such deliberate intentions, he will definitely take corresponding confidentiality measures."
Lei Xiao originally wanted to wave his hand to signal Broy not to blame himself, but in the end he was unable to make the corresponding action at all.
It has to be said that even though Lei Xiao has experienced the baptism of confinement barriers several times, this extreme pressure, like carrying a mountain on his back, still makes him almost breathless.
"But we have obviously used so many detection scrolls and perception spells, why haven't we found any clues about this confining barrier?"
Chrissy's white forehead was covered with beads of sweat. While trying to break free from the confinement, she said with difficulty: "This is simply unbelievable."
As a wood elf, her small body was obviously under greater pressure. Although she could barely stand, her originally flowing wings were tightly attached to her body, which undoubtedly caused her to be greatly restrained.
"I'm afraid the other party is using dragon mirage to hide the energy fluctuations of the confinement barrier, which makes it impossible for us to detect it."
Cornette's situation was almost the same as Broy's. He was also covered in disgrace. He was forced to cling to the ground and said: "In other words, this is probably a special confinement barrier built specifically to rely on dragon mirage in order to hide it.
own existence!"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more, which undoubtedly meant that the other party had indeed been brewing for a long time.
And the current situation is even more obvious. If we don't find a way to break the confinement barrier as soon as possible, our entire army may be annihilated.
After all, through my own observation, I have been able to know that the strength of this confinement barrier is astonishing. It is difficult for our sixth-level experts to even approach the edge of the barrier and chant spells, let alone destroy it.
At least in a short period of time, our strong ones who cannot adapt to the heavy pressure of the barrier will have difficulty in making an effective response, and the other party will definitely not give us time to adapt.
Just when Lei Xiao, who had figured out the current situation, tried his best to calm down and think about countermeasures in his mind, at the edge of the confinement barrier in front, ten behemoth figures appeared, and a pair of them were full of viciousness.
The golden vertical pupils were looming in the mist.
The strong body like a moving tall building is restrained by giant wing membranes, the horn crown is raised high, the jaws are covered with sharp teeth, and the thick and lustrous fiery red scales all over the body are as indestructible as armor.
Each of these obvious features proves the identity of the opponent. They are a group of flaming dragons boiling with murderous intent.
"Treants, dwarfs, wood elves, and even ant-like humans. It seems that you have figured out the current situation."
The leader of the red dragon was huge and slowly appeared at the edge of the barrier.
After first confirming that all members of our party were imprisoned, he said solemnly: "Originally, we were planning to wait until the ceremony was over before dealing with you, but we didn't expect that you actually came to our door. You are really bold."
The leader of the red dragon's voice became more and more joking, and passed over the tree people and other allies one by one. His voice became more and more venomous and said: "It seems that the three monstrous flames five hundred years ago did not allow you to gain anything."
Lesson learned, don’t worry, this time you will be judged by the flames and eventually turn into ashes."
"Stop dreaming, this time we will let you taste the taste of failure!"
Broy gritted his teeth and even though the crown had already fallen to the ground, he still responded in a stern voice full of anger.
After Broy said this, Shult and Chris also agreed, looking unyielding.
"It's so ridiculous that the anger of the weak is just a joke in the eyes of the strong."
The leader of the red dragon did not continue to make noise, but looked at Lei Xiao again and snorted: "As for the tiny ants, you will soon feel the taste of complete destruction. It seems that I am going to go big today.
It’s been a killing spree.”
"Okay, let's take the blood and corpses of those disobedient people as a gift to congratulate my king on his coronation."
After saying that, the leading red dragon turned his head with a ferocious smile and began to point fingers at the other red dragons.
As for the content of the operation, it is self-evident. It must be to notify other red dragons to come for support. In the natural mist with such chaotic energy, even the dragons have difficulty using secret communication methods to contact each other.
But what is certain is that once the other side's reinforcements arrive, our side will undoubtedly become a piece of cake on the chopping board.
While feeling frightened in his heart, Lei Xiao noticed it keenly.
Based on what we have seen before, it is not difficult to tell from the huge size and deeper colors that there are four sixth-level and six fifth-level opponents in this team of giant dragons.
"In order to prevent accidents like this from happening, I naturally have a backup plan. If I can kill all this group of giant dragons with my backup plan, and then find a way to break the confinement barrier, I might still be able to see a glimmer of hope."
Just when Lei Xiao's brain was spinning rapidly and he was thinking of this, an unexpected change happened again.
While the leader of the red dragon was gesticulating, another sixth-level red dragon, who seemed to be deliberately standing behind him, suddenly opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and bit the former's unsuspecting neck. Vaguely,
Lei Xiao could even hear the muffled sound of broken dragon scales.
Because all this happened so suddenly, the former, who was caught off guard, let out a roar mixed with anger and surprise because of the pain, and at the same time, he wanted to turn around and fight with the latter.
But the latter, who struck first, obviously still had the initiative. The dragon's mouth, which was still full of blood and broken dragon scales, suddenly burst into flames and sprayed out directly towards the opponent's wound at close range.
For a moment, the former, whose neck was already covered in blood and flesh, began to wail. Wherever he was still ferocious and unscrupulous, he was soon completely covered by the blazing dragon's breath.
Although red dragons are extremely resistant to fire and are almost immune to any fire spells below the same level, they are also vulnerable, and as a member of the same race, the latter is obviously very aware of this.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the leader of the red dragon, who was about to start a killing spree just now, suddenly fell to the ground, making everyone present look surprised.
