What emerged in Lei Xiao's mind was a figure wearing a white knight's armor, it was the White Knight.
As a well-known general of the human race, although the white knight did not come together this time because he held an important position in the million-strong army, the face of the white knight with the mask off has always been fresh in Lei Xiao's memory.
It was a shockingly pale face, bloodless and emitting a strange dark blue light.
As for the source of the light, it comes from the mysterious dark blue crystals covering most of his cheeks.
These translucent crystals with smooth and sharp surfaces, like small crystal clusters, have become integrated with the skin, and you can even clearly see the flow of blood underneath the crystals.
On the pale skin that is not covered by crystals, criss-crossing blue blood vessels are clearly visible, and veins are exposed everywhere.
In addition, the White Knight's eyeballs are also completely crystallized, the whites of the eyes are dark blue, and the pupils are pure white, looking lifeless and weird.
Recalling the appearance of the white knight in his mind, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and looked at the wide-open eyes of the two giant dragons.
The purple eyeballs and white pupils reflect a crystal clear and strange luster. They are obviously not made of flesh and blood. Except for the difference in crystal color, they are almost exactly the same as the white knight's eyes.
"Isn't there some connection between this?"
Thinking of this, an uneasiness began to rise in Lei Xiao's heart.
This is not because of the weird appearance of these dragons being crystallized, but because of the White Knight's description of how they were parasitized by crystals.
According to the White Knight's recollection, at the moment when the hot magma pouring out of the ground was about to touch him, the originally dark red magma flow turned into a deep blue in an instant, and began to crystallize rapidly until it formed a shape the size of a head.
, a round dark blue crystal suspended in mid-air.
It looked like a weird eyeball, or like an octopus monster that had lost its tentacles. The surface was smooth and without any facial features. It was hard to tell what it was, but the energy flow surging in its translucent body reflected the
The outline of the organ indicates that it seems to be an unknown unknown creature.
At that time, the white knight, who was a fifth-level powerhouse, just saw the other party and felt completely cold, as if the blood in his body had solidified instantly.
In addition, the white knight also used an incomprehensible description.
That is, under the gaze of strange creatures, even though he was on the verge of death and had no fear of anything, he felt an indescribable and intense panic, which was a kind of fear that transcended death.
And the white knight can be sure that the other party followed the continuously flowing magma to the surface, which undoubtedly shows that the other party is an unknown creature from deep underground.
"If you think about it carefully, the power of underground magma used by the Loren Kingdom at that time was a manifestation of the fire-attribute magic ley lines. When the magic circle in the magic ley lines is overloaded, the huge explosion caused will definitely make the ley lines more active.
To a large extent, this is very similar to the current situation of earth vein filling."
"Could it be that these giant dragons are also parasitized by indescribable things deep underground?"
In just a few seconds, Lei Xiao's brain was running extremely fast, sorting out the information in his mind.
"But even so, why and why do they appear here? Is it specially arranged by the culprit? So, in addition to trying to be crowned in this place where the dragon is crowned, it also has other purposes?"
"No, I'm afraid it was just to facilitate this "other purpose" that he defeated Hong Ye and Serin's father at all costs and forcibly prepared to be crowned the Dragon King?"
"In other words, becoming the Dragon King is just a pretense, and his real purpose is this "other purpose"? From this point of view, it is very likely that all the dragons here are parasitized by purple crystals."
The uneasiness in Lei Xiao's heart became more intense and he continued to think.
In this case, the reason why these giant dragons of various attributes seem to have stopped in time and do not appear to be any threat is probably just a cover to make us relax our vigilance and catch us off guard!
After all, after being parasitized by the mysterious crystal, the White Knight not only did not show any stagnation, but actually gained a long lifespan and powerful self-healing ability!
Having come to this conclusion in his mind, Lei Xiao had no time to explain anything else, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "There is something fishy here, get back quickly!"
"What?!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's confusing words, even though all the powerful men were filled with confusion, they still subconsciously flew out and retreated towards the entrance of the passage from which they came.
At this moment, the parasitic purple crystals around the two giant dragons that had been frozen suddenly flashed, and two monstrous sixth-level auras soared into the sky. The sharp dragon claws stagnant in mid-air instantly changed from extremely quiet to extreme.
They moved and attacked towards the closest fifth-level Cornet and Serin respectively.
The strong wind stirred up by the dragon's claws roared wildly, making the originally peaceful scene suddenly become extremely dangerous.
In this flash of lightning, fortunately, after hearing Lei Xiao's reminder, the two of them took one step out of the opponent's attack range, and thus managed to avoid the fatal attack by wiping their hair.
"call……"
Feeling the danger passing by them so close at hand, whether it was Serin or Cornet, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads as they survived the disaster.
This attack came too suddenly and very close, and was caught off guard. Although Serin was protected by two sixth-level dragon warriors, and Cornette's sixth-level alchemy puppet was also on guard not far away, there was no doubt that it was too late to provide support.
.
In other words, had Lei Xiao not issued a timely reminder, the two of them would have been in trouble.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Human Race!"
After retreating to a safe area, Cornette's face turned pale and he thanked Lei Xiao repeatedly, while Broy on the side also cast an extremely grateful look at Lei Xiao.
Cornet is an extremely important member of the dwarf royal family. He has always been faithfully assisting Broy. He is also a well-known powerhouse and the first illusion master of the dwarfs. If something unexpected happens, it will undoubtedly be a big loss for the dwarves.
"Thank you... thank you."
As for Serin, after hesitating for a moment, she echoed in a low voice.
"Not worth mentioning."
Lei Xiao waved his hand casually, still focusing on the two giant dragons that suddenly moved.
After the attack failed, the opponent did not pursue it, but stagnated in place again, as if nothing had happened.
"Your Majesty, how did you know they would attack suddenly?"
While commanding the other tree elders to transform into tree forms and stand ready, Shuerte asked Lei Xiao: "What on earth is going on?"
After Shuert said this, the other major powerful men also gathered over, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Then I'll keep the story short."
Lei Xiao first signaled everyone to be on guard, and then succinctly stated what he was thinking just now.
"Your Majesty, human race, are you saying that all the giant dragons here are parasitized by that mysterious crystal? And the reason why this place is in a strange stagnant battlefield state is just to make us relax our vigilance while being confused? The other party is really very calculating.
"
Shuerte's old wood-carved face was full of solemnity, and he nodded thoughtfully.
If Lei Xiao hadn't discovered all this in advance, once we entered the core area of the battlefield or dispersed the investigation, we would have been caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
"The main reason why the culprit wants the throne of the Dragon King is actually to secretly create these parasitic dragons in this coronation place, where the magic leyline is most abundant?"
Serin's fair face was full of surprise, and she blurted out: "So, is this the purpose of the mastermind who helped the culprit ascend to the throne?"
"To actually make the proud dragon tribe look like a dragon but not a dragon or a ghost. These guys are simply the most unforgivable!"
After Serin finished speaking, not only the other members of her race, but also Hong Ye nodded with a solemn expression, reaching agreement with the other party's thoughts for the first time.
Although I don’t know how the other party achieved parasitism, what is certain is that at least they would rather die than become like this, where even the dragon scales no longer exist.
"Oh? You actually figured out some of the situation here? It's really a surprising result, but it doesn't matter. You don't want to go out anyway."
At this moment, a low voice of contempt and disdain sounded.
"Originally, I planned to let you die unprepared and collect them as specimens. Since you are so ignorant, I don't mind using your flesh and blood as the red carpet for my coronation."
Hearing the sound, Serin raised her eyebrows and said "poof", then ran to Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, this is the voice of the culprit!"
"The idiots from the Xuanran family and a few other losers, you brought them in, right?"
The culprit's voice sounded again, and said with a sneer: "When I saw you being so groveling, I thought you were too frightened to do anything wrong. I didn't expect that you actually dared to disobey me. You are really stupid.
It’s so ridiculous.”
"You are a rebellious minister, so how can you talk about disobedience? We are just waiting for the opportunity to cut you into pieces. We will eventually return all your sins and the raging flames you spit out to you."
Serin clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "Today is the day when you will be buried!"
"It's really stupid and arrogant."
The culprit laughed sternly, and then snorted coldly: "You don't think you will become more capable by following these ants, do you? It's really ridiculous."
"Ant? You are just a puppet put on stage by the mastermind behind the scenes. What's so commendable about you?"
Hong Ye took a step forward and snorted coldly: "It was the ant you mentioned that broke through the fog and displayed immeasurable courage, making the starry sky shine brightly. But you are just relying on the strength of others."
"What a sharp-tongued insect."
The culprit's tone was a little more playful, and he said with a sinister smile: "You are Hong Ye from the Chiyan family, right? It's been really easy for me to find you for more than six hundred years."
"I have to say that even though he turned into an ant form, his stubborn eyes were exactly the same as your frail father. Unfortunately, he died in my hands a long time ago, and he begged me for mercy before he died. The scene was really shocking.
It’s unforgettable, and you are about to follow in his footsteps.”
After that, the culprit's laughter became a little more arrogant, and he began to become more and more unscrupulous.
"You are talking nonsense! My father is upright, how can he beg for mercy from you!"
Hong Ye was immediately furious and was about to rush into the depths of the lair, but was stopped by Lei Xiao.
"The other side is just using words to stimulate us into the trap, trying to make us fall into chaos without a fight."
Lei Xiao gently patted Hong Ye's shoulder and shook his head slightly at the latter.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Hong Ye quickly calmed down and stood aside obediently.
"Oh? Are you the leader of the human race who integrated the ants? You actually took the lead and broke into this place without knowing your capabilities. You don't think that you can challenge the majesty of the dragon clan by subduing a dragon clan's bereaved dog, right?"
The culprit's voice suddenly became sharp, and he said solemnly: "There are also tree men, dwarfs and wood elves. It seems that the lessons I learned back then failed to make you and other stupid insects stay safe. This time I will definitely drive you all away!"
"Stop talking to yourself. The tree people will never surrender to a tyrant, let alone a half-baked person who has not even completed the coronation ceremony."
Although the mature and prudent Shuerte seemed to be the type who was not good at words, he was merciless when he spoke. He said solemnly: "The blood debt of hundreds of years ago is now time to be repaid with your blood!"
"That's right, this is the land of our dwarf elves, and this is not a place where you can run wild!"
Listening to the other party's boiling murderous voice, even though Broy's body was stiff and in an extremely nervous state, he still said sternly: "We have been trapped in the tunnel for hundreds of years just for this moment!
"
"The wood goblins will never lower their heads, and we will always stand with His Majesty the Human Race and other robes!"
A wood elf elder also stood up, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"What do you say? Anyway, you are going to die soon."
The culprit's voice was full of disdain, and he said calmly: "Ants, then prepare to welcome the arrival of death, just in time for you to taste these masterpieces I created. Although they are still in the early stage of parasitism, they will not be able to deal with you group of ants."
It’s still more than enough.”
As the other party's solemn words fell, the giant dragons that had been fixed in the vast area in front all turned to us. A pair of dragon pupils emitting strange purple light filled the mist with a fierce aura, and there was a vague, rich murderous aura.
It was already rushing towards my face like a strong wind.
Seeing this scene, our strong men who had already prepared for battle were naturally unwilling to be outdone and clenched their weapons one after another.
"Everyone, it seems that these guys haven't been completely parasitized yet. It's a good time to eliminate them."
The Rolandel in Lei Xiao's hand shone brightly, and he immediately waved his hand and said: "Then let the other party see our strength."
