Not long after Lei Xiao and his group had explored the depths of the underground that were emitting a strange white light, Lannis, who was exploring the path at the front of the team, suddenly had a look of doubt on his face and made a gesture to stop advancing.
"Your Majesty, the human race, something is wrong."
Lannis's agile figure flashed back to Lei Xiao, and he frowned and said: "There are many unfinished magic traps ahead, and there is a fresh smell of blood in the air. This is completely incompatible with
The Gorgon's ways are the opposite."
"The patriarch is right. Gorgons are mostly known for being cautious and cunning. They will never do such reckless things, especially if they know that we may come."
An accompanying gray-armored cat man elder gently stroked his white beard and echoed: "Furthermore, this place is at least four to five hundred meters away from the ground, and the passage is winding and long, and the bloody smell on the ground will never
It was passed here."
"The unfinished magic trap and the fresh smell of blood that shouldn't appear are indeed extremely abnormal."
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "Could it be said that the Gorgons here who were originally preparing to deal with us encountered some kind of unexpected incident, and this led to the current situation of giving up halfway? For example, they were attacked by
An attack by some unknown third party?"
As soon as Lei Xiao said these words, it immediately caused a wave of waves in the team of dozens of strong men.
Especially those powerful cat people who had not yet reacted looked at each other in confusion.
You know, this is the core confidential area of the Gorgon. Other known entrances are covered with extremely strong fortresses. Even this hidden passage has been deployed as a temporary fortress by the opponent in advance.
Before our arrival, the temporary fortress on the ground was impregnable and showed no signs of being attacked. So how could some force attack here in advance?
With Belinda's cunning and treacherous temperament, it is impossible for this situation to happen anyway. After all, even the leader did not notice her evil intentions, otherwise the current situation would not have occurred.
For a moment, an uneasy atmosphere began to quietly permeate the team. The glowing white substances around them were already weird enough, but I didn't expect such a bizarre incident to occur again.
This undoubtedly means that maybe we not only have to deal with Belinda and others, but also that mysterious third party force.
Originally, according to everyone's expectations, all they had to do was deal with Belinda and her minions. Although this must be extremely difficult, at least the goal was determined.
But the current situation is obviously beyond everyone's expectations, making the entire operation elusive and complicated.
"Could it be that the leader's cronies have noticed the other party's conspiracy and come to save the leader?"
Another middle-aged strong cat man with half an ear missing, his eyes lit up and he blurted out.
"Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, don't forget that Belinda's city is extremely deep. Before making up her mind to deal with the leader, she must have made sufficient preparations in advance, including imprisonment and obliteration. It is unlikely that the leader will be allowed to
The cronies get a chance."
The gray-armored catman elder shook his head and denied.
"Things are indeed a little strange, but we can't stop."
Lei Xiao took over the conversation, nodded to the strong cat people and said: "Keep moving forward, there may be new clues ahead."
"What your human majesty said is absolutely true, please cheer up."
Lannis nodded slightly and agreed.
Then, everyone continued to move forward.
There is only one way forward in this spacious white space, but it is dotted with some towering white opaque crystals, like strange and well-proportioned stone pillars, making it dazzling.
When approaching these strange crystals, Lei Xiao also checked the attribute column, but nothing was displayed. This shows that it is not a resource or mineral, but an unknown substance that has never been seen before.
The group of people had just moved forward for a while when the bloody smell in the air began to become stronger and stronger, and many corpses of Gorgons appeared scattered on the ground.
These corpses were all in pieces, with huge broken snake tails and snake hair scattered everywhere. It was so shocking to see that it made many younger cat people retching.
After Lei Xiao carefully inspected it for a moment, he frowned.
Judging from the heraldic patterns on the bodies, these Gorgons were the same minions of Belinda as before, but apart from these minions, no traces of other forces were found.
What is even more astonishing is that almost every minion has eyes wide open and lifeless, with fear and despair on their faces. It is obvious that they saw something terrible before they died.
"It's like being bitten by some giant monster. These minions don't even have the power to fight back."
The gray-armored catman elder looked at the broken limbs and broken arms scattered on the ground and swallowed involuntarily. Even though he had experienced hundreds of battles, he had never seen such a weird and messy bloody scene.
"Could it be that they were under some kind of illusion and attacked each other?"
The strong middle-aged cat man with missing ears walked cautiously on the bright red and sticky ground, and couldn't help but say.
"Judging from the gnawing marks, it is definitely not the Gorgons killing each other."
Lannis shook his head and denied: "This kind of tooth marks are so small and dense that it is simply unheard of."
After hearing what Lannis and others said, Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more.
This is indeed a brutal attack method that has never been seen before, and it is simply shocking.
Originally, I thought that the sudden appearance of a third-party force was likely to be a lord from another sector, who accidentally came here through a method similar to a mutated dimensional storm, and then had an unexpected encounter with Belinda and others. But from the current situation
From the looks of it, this method does not seem to be the work of the lords on other tiles.
"Is it really some kind of magical beast that broke into this place? An existence like the red-blooded sandworm?"
The strong middle-aged cat man with missing ears calmed his mind and spoke again.
"Absolutely impossible. This is the sacred place of Gorgons. Except for the special secret passage just now, it is covered with extremely powerful magic restrictions. Even if more than six level monsters attack at the same time, it is absolutely impossible to defeat them.
Its breaking includes the use of space spells."
The strong gray-armored cat man slowly took a deep breath of the bloody air and responded: "I have checked just now, and there is no damage to the magic restriction here, so this third-party force seems to have appeared out of thin air, making the minions here
We were totally caught off guard.”
"Appearing out of thin air? How is this possible?"
The strong cat people looked at each other again, and many of them had cold sweat on their foreheads unconsciously.
I have to say that the current situation is becoming more and more puzzling. What is the origin of this ruthless third-party force?
"Okay, everyone, cheer up. The leader's life or death is uncertain. Now is not the time to be suspicious."
Lannis walked to the front of the group and began to regroup.
"Yes, this place should be very close to the opponent's coronation venue. Although the situation has become much more complicated, our goal has not changed at all."
Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and started moving forward with the strong cat people again.
As expected, the group of people passed by several bloody scenes that were exactly the same as before, and soon came to a large hall.
It is still a weird white natural structure, but with many artificial elements added, such as rows of Gorgon statues, a huge altar, and a golden throne at the end of the hall.
I saw lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere in the main hall, with war flags hanging high, creating a scene of celebration ceremony.
But the most eye-catching thing is that the ground is still covered with the mutilated corpses of Gorgons. Everywhere is a mess, just like the scene I just saw. The rich smell of blood in the air goes straight into the nose.
, which is awe-inspiring.
"Your Majesty the human race, it seems that while Belinda was undergoing the coronation ceremony, she was suddenly attacked by the mysterious third party. The minions who were deploying magic traps and trying to ambush panicked after hearing about the accident.
We came to support, so it’s not surprising that we gave up halfway just now.”
After instructing the other strong cat men to look around and be vigilant, Lannis nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "And judging from the current situation, I'm afraid the battle just ended not long ago."
"The top priority is to find the leader of Huangsha as soon as possible. I hope she is still alive."
Lei Xiao looked at the scattered corpses around him and immediately joined the search team with the two stone elves.
However, after some investigation, there was no trace of Xina or Belinda, nor was there any trace of the mysterious third party.
You know, through the identification of Lannis and others, there are many corpses of sixth-level Gorgon warriors here, but they are still unable to do anything about the mysterious third party force.
This had to make Lei Xiao think of "Eclipse", but the attack method of "Eclipse" would either turn the target into a puddle of black water, or directly parasitize it, which was obviously completely different from the current scene.
"But it is undeniable that this third-party mysterious force is obviously extremely strange and difficult to deal with."
Just when Lei Xiao just thought of this, the old voice of the gray-armored cat man elder suddenly sounded: "There is still a survivor here!"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao and Lannis rushed over immediately, and in a dark corner, they found a dying Gorgon.
She was not wearing a robe like most of the minions, but was wearing a maid outfit. She was obviously a maid.
"Wake up, what on earth happened here?"
Lannis asked a catman shaman to expand his healing skills while asking the maid.
"Those monsters suddenly came out of the wall, and they devoured everything without explanation!"
After slowly opening her eyes, the pale maid looked frightened and said incoherently: "Even the energy barrier of the sixth-level strong man can't resist the devouring of those monsters, and no attack can have an effect on them.
, they are simply ruthless demons! They are extremely terrifying nightmares!”
After hearing the maid's words, everyone, including Lei Xiao, looked at each other again.
Lei Xiao, in particular, had a solemn look on his face. It had to be said that the things he described seemed to be getting closer and closer to "eclipse".
"But although this place is located deep underground, there is no sign of the magic leyline erupting, and according to the maid, those things came out of the strange white walls."
"Could it be said that there are other variants of "Eclipse", or a creature similar to "Eclipse"? But it is certain that these things are obviously extremely violent."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, several sharp screams suddenly came from the passage on the other side of the hall, which was an area that we had not yet set foot on.
"What about the leader?"
Lannis heard the sound and quickly asked the maid.
"Her Majesty Belinda took Her Majesty Xina over there..."
The maid raised her hand and pointed to the entrance of the passage where the sound had just come from, then rolled her eyes and fainted again.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, it seems that we must go there!"
Lannis nodded to Lei Xiao, and the two of them immediately took the brunt of the attack and flew towards the passage with other powerful catmen.
Although the screams that came just now did not come from Xina, since Xina was there, she was undoubtedly in a dangerous situation.
Speeding along the passage that exuded a strange white light, when Lei Xiao's vision widened again, he had arrived at another underground hall.
In the corner of the hall, several strong Gorgons were vainly firing petrifying light and other spells at a round white suspended object, but it had no effect at all. Instead, it made the suspended object get closer and closer.
close.
Next, something breathtaking happened.
I saw that the white floating object that was originally only the size of a fist suddenly expanded and enlarged, directly wrapping one of the strong Gorgons together with the energy barrier around him, leaving only a giant snake tail still struggling back and forth.
Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of bones breaking, and only the huge snake tail was left of the wrapped Gorgon strongman, with bright red splashing everywhere.
Seeing this scene, everyone on our side, including Lei Xiao, couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
Although judging from the back, the white floating matter wrapped the strong Gorgon in it, but to be more precise, it obviously swallowed him directly.
"So this is the origin of those scenes just now. What on earth is that?"
Lei Xiao stared closely at the white floating object that had once again become the size of a fist, frowning tightly.
Judging from the body shape, it is much smaller than "Eclipse". The sudden expansion of its attack method is also very special, but its invincible state is very similar to "Eclipse".
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the white floating object was obviously aware of our arrival, turned around suddenly, and shot straight towards us.
