Walking closer to the huge stone warehouse, Lei Xiao noticed.
Because before that, I had already embedded the crystal stone as the key directly in the depression on the metal door of the warehouse and did not take it off.
Therefore, the warehouse door wrapped by magic restrictions has always been open.
Next, surrounded by Orange Bai and Baiwei.
Walking straight into the dimly lit warehouse, a strong smell of blood and burning, together with the waves of air that were still surging, immediately poured into Lei Xiao's nasal cavity.
"I was just focusing on dumping those alchemy bombs, but I really didn't pay close attention to the situation here."
Lei Xiao frowned slightly and quickly adapted to the dark light in the warehouse. He first directed the 10 Earth Guardians guarding the door to spread out with the 18 Ice Knights, and then began to observe.
At a glance, except for the area around the warehouse entrance, it was relatively intact.
Everything in the warehouse was almost reduced to ruins and scorched earth.
As far as the eye can see, the ground is cracked, stones are scattered, and the cracked surface is still sending out wisps of smoke, looking like a mess.
Most of the broken wooden boxes and catapults piled up in the warehouse are basically indistinguishable from their original appearance, with only some charred wood chips left, still flickering with faint sparks.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the large number of corpses of Holy Night Army soldiers. They were so densely packed and mixed with the aura of anxiety that they could hardly be seen to the end.
"This is……"
Seeing this bloody scene on the battlefield that she had never seen before, Ariel's throat suddenly rolled, and she couldn't help but swallow. She had taken half a step, but she was instantly frozen on the spot.
On the other side, looking at Ariel's frightened and stunned expression, Lei Xiao helplessly shook his head.
I remember when I first stepped into the half-elf barrier area, I probably had the same look on my face, right?
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, as a member of the Cold Flame Royal Family with the blood of the King of Heroes flowing in her body, you won't be stopped by this scene alone, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and began to encourage the other party with words from the side.
You must know that the battlefield is a place where life and death are impermanent. Only by defeating yourself can you defeat the enemy.
"Hey, this princess will naturally not be frightened by this scene."
After speaking with some trembling, Ariel raised her white neck and looked up, with an expression of fearlessness.
But Lei Xiao could clearly see that the main reason why the other party did this was obviously to avoid looking at the corpse on the ground.
"It feels like this scene seems a bit familiar."
He shook his head helplessly again, and Lei Xiao simply ignored him. The tsundere princess who was almost directly touching Orange Bai beside him,
Instead, he said to the Snow Wolf girl on the other side: "Bai Wei, go find those three guys with weird skull masks first."
"As you command, my lord!"
Hearing the sound, Bai Wei's ears on top of her head moved slightly, and then she started to take action.
Regarding the skull mask worn by the other party, Lei Xiao heard Lin and Fang Hai describe it before at a regular meeting in Kongqing Town.
Moreover, I have also seen the corresponding patterns depicted on the mercenary survival guide issued by the mercenary guild in the city.
Knowing that it is from the Holy Night Kingdom, a dark mercenary organization called the Dark Devouring Society.
The so-called dark mercenaries are naturally independent mercenary organizations that do not go through the mission review of the mercenary guild, and specialize in taking on some shady missions.
In other words, it would be more appropriate to call it a killer organization.
"This Underworld is quite similar to the mysterious organization. They both show their faces with masks. I wonder if there is any potential connection between the two?"
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "In addition, I remember Lin once mentioned that there are rumors that although this member of the Dark Devouring Society is active in the realm of Holy Night, he is not a human race.
This also concerns me very much.”
"After all, Sheng Ye and Leng Yan are both a human nation through and through, and the last words spoken by the leader of the Dark Devouring Society in front of Hong Ye can also prove this from the side."
"Sir, the mission has been completed."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Bai Wei was already standing in front of him again, bowing slightly.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Lei Xiao nodded to Bai Wei and looked at the three corpses in front of him coldly, Lei Xiao noticed.
The difference is that the white mask worn by the mysterious organization only covers the face.
The twisted skull mask of the Dark Devouring Society, except that the front is a mask.
The second half is connected to the hood, and the entire head is wrapped in it, which looks extremely weird.
"Take off these people's masks."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao once again nodded slightly to the Snow Wolf girl under his command.
"As you command, my lord."
After finishing speaking, with Bai Wei's neat movements, three unexpected faces appeared in front of everyone present.
I saw that the skin on the faces of these three powerful men from the Dark Devouring Society was all a strange gray-white color.
Although he is extremely pale, he does not look sickly, which is surprising.
However, what Lei Xiao can be sure of is that this is obviously not the skin color that humans should have.
"Is this a strong man from the dark elves?!"
At this time, the orange-white man on the side, with long eyelashes flickering, couldn't help but said in surprise: "No wonder these three people have wrapped every inch of their skin tightly, even wearing gloves on their hands...
"
"oh?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's face also showed a look of surprise.
Before this, Lei Xiao had never seen a real elves.
But after conquering the Yuebai clan, who were half-elves, and getting acquainted with half-elves such as Jiang Li, Bai Zhi, and Chuan Gu.
Lei Xiao already knows a lot about the mysterious race of elves.
First of all, the elves, like the dwarves and other races, once had a splendid civilization on this continent.
But they all suffered heavy losses from unknown opponents in the blank era three thousand years ago.
Then their respective spheres of influence were reduced on a large scale, completely disappearing from people's sight, and they have not been able to recover until now.
After all, the lifespan of these two races, especially the elves, is much higher than that of the ordinary human race. Although they live longer, naturally the speed of reproduction is extremely insufficient.
"Through Jiang Li's description, I have learned that there are three branches of the elves, namely the forest elves, the light elves and the dark elves. The Yuebai tribe, where Jiang Li and Bai Zhi belong, owns half of the forest. A half-elf with elven blood.”
"And I have explored more than half of the elven ruins next to Shen Banxia's territory, as well as the miraculous building Bright Healing Center in the territory, both of which are from the light elves."
"As for the Dark Elf clan, the only thing I have come into contact with so far is the disharmonious Dark Elf goddess statue in the temple of the Light Elf ruins dungeon. I didn't expect that this time I would actually come into direct contact with the Dark Elf clan."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao seemed to realize something.
Then he looked towards the ears of the strong man from the Dark Devouring Society, only to find that the other person's ears were not the iconic long pointed ears of the elves, but were almost the same as those of ordinary humans.
"Your Excellency, please look carefully."
On the other side, Ju Bai obviously noticed where Lei Xiao was looking, and then came to the corpse of the strong man from the Dark Elves and began to explain: "These strong men from the dark elves are all expulsors whose ears were cut off. "
"The Deported Earless One?"
Upon hearing this new term, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for Jubai to continue speaking.
Ariel on the side also had a look of curiosity on her delicate face, as if she had temporarily put her fear behind her.
"I have learned in the Temple of Light that the unique long pointed ears of the elves are not only the key to distinguishing the elves from other races, but also, within the elves, they are regarded as the most sacred place, and their importance is The extent is no less than the life of the elves themselves."
He nodded slightly to Lei Xiao, opened his orange and white red lips wearing a special slim-fitting priest robe with gold edges, and continued: "Therefore, only elves who have committed serious crimes within the clan will be punished with ear amputation. Punishment and expulsion from the tribe.”
After speaking, Ju Bai knelt down, stretched out his slender hand, pointed at the other person's ears and said, "Please see, your Excellency, although these powerful men from the Dark Devouring Society have tried their best to modify their ears to look like human beings in order to deceive others, but the ones above are The scars cannot be completely erased.”
"So that's it."
Looking in the direction of the orange-white finger, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and noticed that the ears of these three Dark Devouring Masters did have less obvious but unusually neat scars.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully and murmured to himself: "So, the true identities of the members of this dark mercenary organization that is extremely active in the Holy Night Kingdom are all dark elves.
The expeller of the clan?"
"It can basically be confirmed that this is the case."
Nodding slightly, Jubai stood up again and responded.
"No wonder the assassination ability of the Dark Devouring Society has always been a top-notch existence in the Holy Night Kingdom where assassination is popular. Not only are their hands stained with blood, but they have never tasted defeat. It turns out that its members are all dark elves...
"
Ariel frowned slightly, thinking, and nodded: "After all, the dark elves themselves are indeed a race that is good at operating in the shadows."
After listening to Ariel's words, Lei Xiao still had the same brooding look on his face.
Just as the Lengyan Princess said, the three branches of the elves have their own strengths, except for their long lifespan, elegant posture, agility and affinity for magic.
The forest elves are best at archery and getting close to animals. They are a race rich in elf rangers.
The light elves are best at healing and natural magic, and are a race rich in elf magicians.
As for the dark elves, they have a balance between the two, and they are best at night movements and stealth, so naturally they are rich in the assassin profession.
"Based on the current clues, since the members of the Dark Devouring Society are all dark elves, there should be no connection between this organization and the mysterious organization.
After all, judging from the past situation, in that mysterious organization, whether it is the fifth-level strong man known as "Shura" who serves as the management, or the ordinary strong man, they are all human race, and no other races have been seen yet."
Thinking of this, another trace of doubt appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
He continued to think: "Speaking of which, this dark bite will be so rampant on Holy Night. It is impossible for the Royal Family of Holy Night and Moon Palace to turn a blind eye. Is there any relationship between them?"
Pouring his lips slightly, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality, and then said to himself: "That's all, what I know about everything in the Holy Night Kingdom is still relatively limited. Let's go back and collect clues step by step."
"Sir, these are the trophies from the three powerful men of the Dark Devouring Society."
At this moment, Bai Wei came forward and handed over three daggers and a storage ring.
"Three fourth-level daggers and a third-level storage ring?"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao casually collected the trophies and murmured to himself: "The current battle situation is urgent, so let's go back and upgrade together. First, go and see what the structure of the underground passage is. Be sure to think about it.
A way to prevent the Holy Night Army from scoring twice again in the future."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately said to Ariel, Ju Bai and Bai Wei beside him: "Okay, without further ado, let's start moving forward."
In this way, Lei Xiao moved forward in a messy and anxious ordnance warehouse. It didn't take long for Lei Xiao to arrive at the center of the warehouse, in front of a hole that was blasted open by magic.
Observing carefully, Lei Xiao noticed.
The entrance to this underground cave is at least three or four square meters, and there is a dirt staircase that leads directly to the ground. It should have been created using earth magic.
In the cave, there are extremely impressive energy fluctuations that continue to flow out.
It seems that Hong Ye is still among them and is beating up the escaping Holy Night Vanished Army.
"This magical staircase cannot last for long. Let's go down and take a look."
Nodding to the three people next to him, Lei Xiao waved his hand and summoned four earth guardians to open the way in front, and then took steps.
"How many powerful high-level golem puppets are there on this guy? I saw several teams along the way."
Seeing this scene, Ariel couldn't help but frown slightly, and said in confusion: "Moreover, this kind of stone guard is obviously not the alchemy puppet like the Ice Knight before.
And the golem puppets summoned by spells cannot be put into the storage space, so how on earth did that guy let these magical creations that cannot always exist into the storage space?"
Just when Ariel was walking forward and wondering.
Lei Xiao, who was not far ahead, had already walked into the mysterious underground passage surrounded by Orange Bai and Bai Wei.
