Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao looked around as he walked out of the passage.
This new hidden area is no smaller than the cave space covered with magic moss just now.
On the left and right sides of the hidden area, there is a swamp that looks extremely muddy.
In the middle part, there is a road paved with gravels, leading directly to a stone gate at the front.
"It really is a different world."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and finally landed on the muddy area not far away, and murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that there really is a swamp."
"Lord, these two swamps are filled with faint energy fluctuations, and there are obviously a large number of small energy-supplying magic arrays below."
At this time, Hong Ye took a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "It seems that those high-level demon puppets that were guardians just now ran out from here."
"That's it." After hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Through this period of understanding, Lei Xiao has clearly understood.
Whether it is in ancient ruins with a long history, in hidden caves, or even in barrier areas.
Although the golem puppets as guardians have different appearances and functions, they only appear in two ways.
The first type is the rechargeable type.
That is to say, what we see so far is a continuous supply of magic power from the energy supply magic array that has been set up.
This will allow these golem puppets, which originally only lasted for a period of time, to exist for a long time.
We have also seen this situation before in the Winged Human Clan's barrier area.
The second type is the summoning type.
It was the summoning magic circle that we had just seen in the Titan ruins this morning.
This kind of magic circle that can summon golems and puppets in real time, like the former, is automatically triggered after sensing the appearance of the target.
Moreover, as long as the summoned golem puppet is not destroyed after the battle, it can be automatically decomposed in the magic circle to wait for the next summons, which is very magical.
Of course, whether it is the first or the second type, it needs to have a self-contained energy absorption function to ensure that it remains in a standby state for a long time.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
On the other side, Hong Ye's delicate face couldn't help but reveal a stern look. She cupped her fists at Lei Xiao and said, "Lord, there seems to be something wrong with the stone gate in front of you."
At the same time, the Japanese knotweed on the side also looked stern and nodded.
Next, before Lei Xiao could speak, the giant stone door at the end of the front suddenly began to tremble violently.
Immediately afterwards, as the tremors further intensified, the stones on the door scattered and cracked.
Just listen to the "rumbling" sound of stones rubbing against each other one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the two facades on the left and right of the gate turned into two stone knights at least three meters tall, riding tall stone horses and began to rush toward the crowd crazily.
And, judging from its impressive aura, it has obviously reached the fourth level.
For a moment, the entire cave was shaken, and the scene was quite astonishing.
There is no doubt that facing the charge of two fourth-level golem puppet knights is enough to make most of the expedition team retreat in fear and never dare to take a step closer again!
However, it was a pity that the other party met Lei Xiao.
"Hongye, Huzhang, kill these two aggressive guys." Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and waved his hand casually.
"I obey! Lord!" Upon hearing this, the two fifth-level warriors on their side clasped their fists and saluted, and then they both flashed and disappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
The next second, two piercing cold lights, accompanied by a sword and a claw, flashed through the air.
The two stone knights who were attacking madly turned into a pile of rubble, and then completely disappeared in the air.
"Lord, this is the weapon dropped by the two stone giants just now."
Just when Lei Xiao saw this.
Huzhang and Hongye had already returned to him, handing over a shining battle ax and an equally brilliant lance.
"It's actually two fourth-level weapons... It's the first time I've seen the golem puppets equipped with real weapons. It's a new way of thinking."
Lei Xiao casually put the two trophies into the space bracelet, and Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
I thought to myself: "I'll give it a try later and see if I can equip the Earth Guardians with better weapons than my own class.
As for the upgrade of these two weapons, we will wait until the exploration is completed."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao continued to think: "Speaking of which, these two stone golem puppets generally have relatively high spell resistance, while the clay warrior just now is not afraid of physical attacks.
In addition, you can also equip the golem puppet with weapons, so this cave is a bit interesting."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao cheered up and said to the other subordinates beside him: "Okay, now that this giant stone door has thrown itself into a trap.
Then let us take a closer look at what is hidden behind it."
In this way, surrounded by subordinates, Lei Xiao noticed it as he walked through the path paved with gravel.
After the giant stone gate in front disappeared, a new spacious passage appeared at the end of the road.
Walking straight into this new passage, it didn't take long before the eyes of the nine people on our side suddenly became clear again.
This time, what appeared in front of everyone was a rather spacious stone hall.
I saw that this stone hall was about thirty or forty square meters in size. Judging from the neatly repaired corners, it was obvious that it had been carefully polished.
Moreover, on the left hand side of the door, there is an empty low stone display cabinet.
On both sides of the display cabinet, there is a small stone bench. On one of the stone benches, there is a wooden product similar to a shovel.
"What is this?"
At this time, Bai Wei curiously walked towards the stone bench, carefully picked up the small shovel on the bench, and then put it in front of her nose and smelled it.
Immediately afterwards, a painful expression of one hundred thousand injuries suddenly appeared on her fair face, and she said to Lei Xiao: "Lord, this seems to be a shoehorn..."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly, then took a step forward and walked over.
While suppressing his laughter, Lei Xiao made observations and nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that this should be a shoe cabinet."
"What the lord said is true, but judging from the thick layer of dust on it, it has obviously not been used for a while."
On the other side, Ye Cang bowed slightly and said in a deep voice.
Next, after continued investigation, Lei Xiao further discovered.
In this stone hall, there are only this shoe cabinet and an object similar to a coat rack on the other side.
Moreover, there is a small stone door directly in front of the hall and on both sides.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him, and with the lead of Huzhang and Hongye, he pushed open the door on the left.
Entering the door, Lei Xiao noticed.
This is a slightly smaller stone house than before. Apart from a dusty single stone bed and a large stone cabinet, there is nothing noteworthy about it.
"Lord, isn't this just an ordinary bedroom? It has indeed been abandoned for a long time!"
Smelling the ancient scent that had been covered with dust for a long time, Chao Yan twitched his little nose, blinked his big eyes and said.
"Let's go check out the other two rooms." Lei Xiao nodded slightly and took his own steps again.
After that, after some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
The other two rooms are a study room with only stone bookshelves and stone seats, and a bathroom connected to the water source in the cave. They look extremely ordinary.
Moreover, they were all covered with a lot of dust. As for the items inside, except for the remaining stone furniture, they were all empty, and no useful clues could be found.
"Lord, judging from the current situation, this is obviously a secluded residence."
After walking out of the bathroom, Ye Cang pushed the golden eyes on the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully: "Besides, we can tell from the layout of the bedroom.
There used to be only one hermit here.
However, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that no one has lived here for a long time."
"Lord, my subordinates have just used detection magic to conduct a careful investigation. There are no other secret doors or magic mechanisms here."
Immediately afterwards, Hongye stepped forward and reported the report in a sassy voice.
"I originally thought I would find something extraordinary here, but to my surprise, it turned out to be just a secluded cave abandoned by others."
On the other side, Chao Yan's dark eyebrows were slightly lowered, and she said with a curled mouth.
"But, if there is nothing here, why are there so many powerful demon puppets deployed to guard the perimeter?"
Bai Wei's fair face was full of confusion, and she said doubtfully.
"Judging from the current situation, there is only one answer." After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "That is this secluded cave.
It has some extraordinary special meaning for the unknown recluse.
And, if it goes as expected, the mysterious hermit, although his whereabouts are unknown now, will definitely return here again."
"I see, Lord Lord's analysis is very reasonable." Nodding in thought, Ye Cang added: "Follow this idea and continue to think about it.
As a hermit, this place is undoubtedly his residence.
Although you are traveling far away, no one wants to see uninvited guests randomly arriving in their residence during the time they are away, right?"
"I understand." After hearing this, Bai Wei suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.
Then, another hint of worry appeared on her cheeks, and she said: "Judging from the situation of those golem puppets, this mysterious hermit must be extremely powerful.
What if the other party comes back and discovers that we have been here?"
"Don't worry about that."
Indicating to Bai Wei that there was no need to be nervous, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Although this place is not very far from the territory in the forest.
But since the other party has chosen to live in seclusion in such mountains, it is almost impossible for the other party to discover the territory in the forest even if he returns.
Moreover, the territory is disguised as the Tower of Vision, so even fifth-level experts cannot directly observe it."
Having said this, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but show an awe-inspiring look again, and he continued: "However, how can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed.
Now that we have discovered this secluded spot, we naturally will not ignore it."
After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao said to the pterosaur knight captain on the side: "Sean, the five nests that have been built should be inhabited by the ownerless sky pterosaurs.
As for the nests and lairs of your ten pterodactyl knights and dragons, find other places in the surrounding hidden areas. Normally, this place will be left to your surveillance."
Upon hearing this, Sean immediately understood, and then clasped his fists and said: "I obey! Lord, please rest assured.
For those of us pterodactyl knights who have grown up with the sky pterosaurs.
You can easily understand the meaning expressed by the Sky Pterosaurs and can also conduct regular communication.
It is indeed an excellent way to let these ownerless Sky Pterosaurs monitor this place.
Even if the other party finds out, they won't be suspicious, after all, it's not unusual for the Sky Pterosaur to build a nest in such a dangerous area."
"Very good. If anything happens here, be sure to report it to me as soon as possible." Lei Xiao nodded slightly and then said.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's face showed another look of curiosity, and he murmured in his heart: "I wonder what race and occupation that mysterious hermit is?
It really makes people wonder, who is it that can live in seclusion here?
All in all, no matter what, if the other party is willing to obey, that's all. If the other party is stubborn, then you can only wipe them out completely.
After all, there are nearly a thousand direct subordinates and two surrendered races in and around the territory, so I will naturally not let them be exposed to this potential threat."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately said to the subordinates around him: "Okay, let's leave here first. Gaining two fourth-level weapons is already a great harvest.
When its owner returns, maybe we can get another one, and other unexpected surprises are still unknown."
"Yes! Lord!" After hearing this, all the subordinates surrounding Lei Xiao responded with fists in their hands.
Just like that, he left this hidden cave and came outside again. Lei Xiao noticed.
At this time, the sky was completely dark.
Surrounding the two silver-white half-moons, there were only a few stars, still twinkling in the dark blue night.
After taking a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, Lei Xiao suddenly felt refreshed and greeted the other pterodactyl knights guarding the door.
When the ten pterodactyl knights lined up, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and the surroundings suddenly became sparkling.
