Hearing Chaoyan's surprised voice, Lei Xiao nodded to Hong Ye beside him, and the two of them immediately walked towards each other's location.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.
This area is located at the end of the castle ruins and has not been affected by the battle before. There is a small gap that is difficult to detect among the broken stones and broken bricks.
Bai Wei, on the other hand, was lying on the ground, her big fluffy white tail raised high, swinging back and forth regularly.
At the same time, the rustling sound of noses twitching kept coming, and it was obvious that they were investigating in the manner of the Snow Wolf Clan.
After a moment, Bai Wei stood up from the ground, bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Lord, this is a passage leading to the underground, and no one has set foot on it for a long time."
On the other side, Huzhang bowed slightly and added: "Lord, judge from the position.
This place is located in the back half of the giant castle. It seems that the end of this underground passage is likely to be the castle's storage room or underground warehouse."
"Understood, well done."
First he nodded to the two of them, then Lei Xiao turned around, then to the other subordinates beside him, and said with a faint smile: "In that case.
Then let us take a closer look at what else exists beneath this dusty ruins."
After speaking, under the command of Lei Xiao.
The bricks and gravel around the gap were quickly cleaned up by a group of subordinates, and a stairway leading to the underground was immediately revealed in front of everyone.
Next, Lei Xiao nodded to Huzhang and Hongye, and his group entered the hidden passage directly under the lead of the two.
Following the cautious footsteps of everyone, they walked down the slightly low bluestone steps.
Not long after, when Hu Zhi, who was walking at the front, pushed open the stone door at the end of the passage, the sight suddenly opened up in front of his group.
At this time, what caught Lei Xiao's eyes was a colorful scene.
Surprised, Lei Xiao sniffed the damp and rustic smell in the room. He glanced around and saw a large number of metal weapon racks arranged in a space of about hundreds of square meters.
On each weapon rack, there are rows of battle axes or war hammers neatly placed, and the splendor in the room naturally emanates from these weapons.
However, judging from the dust everywhere in the room, it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen that although the weapons on the display rack are colorful, the display rack itself has been severely corroded, with rust everywhere.
Even some of the weapon racks in the corners were severely damaged and could not bear the weight of the weapons, causing many weapons to be scattered on the ground.
For a moment, the shining weapons exuding extraordinary colors and the rusty weapon racks formed a strong contrast, making people feel surprised.
"Lord, it seems that this is a dwarf weapons depot."
A rough voice sounded, and Huzhang bowed slightly to Lei Xiao and explained at the side: "It is different from the robes and leather armor that were easily corroded by time in the ancient ruins of the elves.
The weapons stored here are of a higher level and are equipped with the special craftsmanship of the dwarves.
Presumably this is the reason why these all-metal battle axes and hammers can still shine without the blessing of equipment protection barriers."
"I see, in such a humid environment, after three thousand years of hard work, it can still exude brilliance. It is worthy of the dwarves who are famous for forging equipment."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao came to a weapons rack and picked up a giant battle ax.
At this time, maybe it’s because of the special anti-slip craftsmanship on it, or maybe it’s because of the sadness and sigh caused by the disappearance of a prosperous alien civilization.
The moment Lei Xiao touched the ax handle, a frosty and heavy feeling immediately entered his mind.
If you look closely, you will see that the shape of this thick-feeling battle ax is like a rising crescent moon, exuding an icy cold glow.
However, the weapon itself was no longer dazzling, but it continued to shine, as if it wanted to recreate the former glory and prosperity of this dwarf city.
"Observe carefully, the battle axes and war hammers present here are the standard weapons of the dwarf warrior squadron in that environment, but their brilliance has been weakened a lot.
It seems that the class has also declined, right?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately opened the weapon's attribute bar.
[Name: Blue Moon Battle Ax]
[Grade: Level 3? Excellent (Blue)]
【Attack strength:★★★】
[Additional effect: Dwarf's Protection "When used by a holder with dwarf blood, a special defensive shield will be automatically formed around it to reduce the physical damage suffered"]
[Remarks: This is a battle ax from the dwarves. It is from the hands of the dwarf forging master. During the forging process, fine steel ingots and blue moonstones were added to make it sharper and indestructible.
.
Although the long years have caused it to lose its former luster, it is still a combat weapon that cannot be underestimated.】
"Sure enough, it has dropped a level, from the fourth level to the third level?"
While checking the text on the attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself: "Of course, for me with the golden finger talent, this is naturally not a problem.
At least half of the weapons can regain their former sharpness.
However, from the perspective of additional effects, even if it is fully restored, this weapon, which is almost exclusively used by the dwarves, is not of great significance."
Curling his lips slightly, Lei Xiao continued to look down.
Next, when his eyes fell on the second half of the first sentence on the note, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
There is no doubt that Lei Xiao's sight is naturally focused on the two words "stainless steel ingot" and "blue moon stone".
"It's actually a weapon that contains fine steel ingots and blue moonstones? You know, the most important and most scarce resource for upgrading the lord's mansion is this fine steel ingot.
If all these numerous dwarf weapons were upgraded and then disassembled, wouldn't the number of fine steel ingots I own increase significantly?
You know, this is the resource that I have been thinking about most during this time.
In this way, upgrading the mansion to another level, thereby expanding the population and the number of recruitment orders, is naturally just around the corner, even tonight!
In this case, with the addition of a new elite squadron, the territory's combat effectiveness will naturally be further enhanced!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao continued to think secretly in his heart while being overjoyed: "In addition, Blue Moon Stone is also one of the two necessary resources for upgrading the Tower of Vision.
I have to say that these dwarf weapons have been of great help here."
With this thought in mind, Lei Xiao came to another weapon rack and opened the attribute bar of a war hammer.
It was found that its name is [Blue Moon Warhammer], and it also contains stainless steel ingots and blue moon stone.
Next, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and put all these dwarf weapons into his space bracelet.
"Are there 50 third-level battle axes and 50 third-level war hammers? Exactly the number of a squadron."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao then continued to inspect the underground weapons depot, surrounded by Hong Ye, Chao Yan and Bai Wei.
"Lord, there is another passage at the corner ahead. Huzhang is leading Ye Cang and others to investigate." Immediately afterwards, Hong Ye's crisp voice reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Let's go over and take a look." Lei Xiao nodded to Hong Ye and took his own steps again.
In this way, under Hong Ye's guidance, he came to the corner at the end of the weapons warehouse, and Lei Xiao noticed.
In front of him is an extremely spacious stone corridor. The light crystals inlaid on the walls have been completely covered by thick dust, making the light weak.
However, you can still clearly see that there are several rooms on the left and right sides of the corridor.
Moreover, the stone doors opened from the room reflected more or less light, obviously storing something.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao immediately walked in.
Next, after some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
Dotted here are small warehouses.
In the end, Lei Xiao found a total of 20,000 units of light crystals and 200 units of magic light crystals.
"Yes, yes, the light crystal stone is not only an important resource for upgrading the light crystal healing center, but it can also play a role in lighting.
As for the magic light crystal that can store magic power, it is an essential artifact for instantly launching the magic cannon!
I have to say that this time I really gained a lot.”
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao came to the last room at the end of the corridor under the guidance of Huzhang and others.
Looking around, the place was empty. Judging from the thick dust falling everywhere, it was obvious that nothing was stored.
"Lord Qi, when my subordinates and others investigated this empty room, they only found this.
My subordinates speculate that when this dwarf city was attacked, the locals hurriedly moved away other items here and accidentally left this key behind."
Immediately afterwards, Huzhang bowed slightly and respectfully handed over a large, simple key.
"There is indeed a possibility. Maybe what they left behind is the most precious thing here."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao took the heavy key from the hand of Polygonum Jue.
After careful observation, Lei Xiao noticed.
This metal key, which is about the size of a palm, is dark blue in color and has golden embellishments on it, just like the deep night sky.
Moreover, a golden gemstone the size of a thumb cap is inlaid on the key handle, faintly shining with magic light.
"It's a rather peculiar key."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao immediately opened the key's attribute bar.
[Name: Key to the Starry Sky]
[Race: Dwarf]
【effect:???】
[Note: The magic key comes from the dwarves of Hearth City. Its background and function are unknown, but it can be confirmed that this object is not dangerous in any way. 】
"The name was originally called [Key to the Starry Sky]."
After closing the key's attribute interface, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a thoughtful look on his face, muttering to himself: "But, just like [Eternal Night Magic Box], [Fenglan Wings], and
[Titan's Eye] is the same, but its function is unknown?
Is there some potential connection between these items?"
After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao seemed to have thought of something. His mind moved, and the [Eternal Night Magic Box], which was emitting a strange cold light, appeared on his other palm.
Then, after some attempts, Lei Xiao discovered.
There is no reaction between this [Starry Sky Key] and [Eternal Night Magic Box], so it is obviously not the key to open this mysterious box.
"That's all, let's put it away first."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, the two mysterious objects in Lei Xiao's hands flashed and returned to the space bracelet.
Next, after confirming that there were no other mysteries or items in this underground space, our group immediately returned to the location of the castle ruins.
After that, under the command of Lei Xiao, the subordinates investigated the ruins of the castle, but found nothing else.
The rest of the city has already turned into a giant pit, so there is no need to investigate anymore.
"Well, the harvest this time has been very considerable. Since there are no other discoveries, let's leave here. It's time to return to the territory."
After nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao immediately spoke.
Just like that, accompanied by gusts of wind passing by.
By the time a group of our party walked out of the abandoned mine, dusty and dusty, the sky was already filled with sunset glow.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun, first took a deep breath of the fresh and natural air in the mountain. While feeling relaxed and happy, he nodded to the knotweed, indicating to him to use rocks to seal the entrance of the cave again.
Close it up.
Although we have completed the exploration of the Hearth City ruins within the Immortal Gate, it is still unknown whether we will be able to use this place in the future.
After the entrance was sealed again, Lei Xiao, who reunited with Nanxing Nanyue, led his subordinates to a hidden area under the cliff.
There is no doubt that after having an encounter with the strong men of the mysterious organization, it is safer to choose to use the return crystal to return.
Next, after Lei Xiao signaled Huzhang, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing to gather closer to him, he then crushed the city return crystal in his hand.
,
The next second, the familiar cyan light curtain rose, instantly covering all members of the team.
After a moment, a dazzling bright light flashed.
When the sense of fulfillment when your feet hit the ground reappears.
Lei Xiao found that he had returned to familiar territory with all the main forces and subordinates.
Next, it is naturally time to take stock of the spoils of this operation!
