The group of people went through a series of targeted attempts and observations in this never-ending underground tunnel.
In the end, I successfully used my own mirror as a road sign to find the connection between the beginning and the end of the channel just mentioned.
"I see, is this the effect of magical resonance between the mirror image and the hidden backdoor?"
Looking at the mirror image that was originally emitting white fluorescence, it seemed as if it had suddenly been subject to some strong interference. Sometimes it became ethereal, and sometimes it returned to normal. Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
I have to say that such a wonderful scene in this green and dark cave has a hazy fantasy feel.
"It's time to open the hidden back door here and open the passage out of here."
Having said this, Lei Xiao nodded to Hong Ye, who had just taken off his invisibility cloak, and said, "Let's start taking action."
"As you command, my lord."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, the tall Hong Ye took a step forward with her long legs and stood between the mirror and the cave wall next to her.
Next, with the movement of Hongye's slender fingers, a standard six-pointed star was drawn in the air.
As the magic energy particles in the air surged, a small fiery red magic circle the size of a washbasin condensed and formed in an instant, floating in front of Hong Ye.
Immediately afterwards, Hong Ye turned her fingers into palms and gently pushed forward.
The magic array shining with red light slowly floated towards the cave wall.
When the red magic array floating in the air and the cave wall emitting green light were about two punches apart, there was a sudden stagnation, and a strong wave of energy swept out.
While the blowing made everyone's clothes rustle, even the small puddles on the ground were blown away.
In the mist, the dazzling red magic circle seemed to be fighting fiercely with an invisible powerful opponent. It remained in a stalemate in mid-air, sometimes advancing half an inch, sometimes retreating half an inch.
There is no doubt that this has obviously hit the defensive measures on the hidden backdoor.
Just when the two of you were going back and forth and were in a stalemate.
On the other side, the magic resonance has entered a white-hot stage.
I saw the mirror images of my own side that had been standing there, sometimes glowing brightly, sometimes dimming rapidly. After a few back and forth, the originally solid figures began to become more and more ethereal.
Moreover, as the figures of our own mirror images became dim, the red magic circle cast by Hong Ye took advantage of the situation and moved forward.
When the increasingly brilliant fiery red magic circle was only half a fist away from the dark green cave wall.
Katcha…
There was a crisp sound of glass breaking.
A transparent crack visible to the naked eye began to appear out of thin air in front of the magic circle, and then quickly spread to the surroundings like a spider web.
Seeing this scene, Hong Ye, who was concentrating on controlling the magic circle, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly heated up and increased the output of magic power.
The next second, more intense "kacha" sounds were heard one after another in the quiet cave.
In an instant, strong winds swept out from all directions, blowing away the witch hat on someone's head.
Finally, the crumbling transparent protective wall, which was full of cracks, suddenly shattered and turned into little transparent fragments, slowly falling down.
At the same time, the magic circle cast by Hong Ye and the mirror images of the group quickly dimmed, and together with the falling transparent fragments, they finally merged into the air and disappeared completely.
For a moment, the entire crypt was completely silent, which was very different from the stormy scene just now. Of course, someone also took small steps and secretly picked up his witch hat.
"Sir, the defensive barrier has been broken down. Next, my subordinates will open the hidden backdoor."
Hong Ye bowed slightly to Lei Xiao again, and Hong Ye's slender fingers made dots one after another in mid-air.
Along with one after another, the fiery red hexagram magic arrays appeared one after another.
In front of the group of people, three chaotic cracks more than one meter long had torn apart the space out of thin air and expanded rapidly outwards, causing the surrounding space to distort and strong winds to rise again.
Within a moment, three gate-shaped chaotic vortices appeared in front of the group of people.
"Good guy, this is the first time I've seen three time and space tunnels appear at the same time."
When the surrounding momentum subsided, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise.
At a glance, we can see that the portal in the center is the largest, while the portals on the left and right are slightly smaller.
Other than that, there is no other difference.
"Sir, my subordinates have already sensed that the teleportation door in the center is the normal exit to the outside world, while the other two small doors lead to the other two distorted spaces similar to this one."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye smiled faintly and continued to explain: "Moreover, what my subordinates open are all one-way time and space channels and will not cause anyone outside the space to notice."
After a pause, Hong Ye added: "The most important thing is that in the process of generating magical resonance just now, with the help of those mirror images, my subordinates have completely mastered the skills of finding and opening the magic backdoor here. After that, even if there is no mirror image
With help, we can come and go here freely."
“Perfect.”
Hearing this, Lei Xiao first patted Hong Ye's shoulder to encourage him, and then murmured to himself: "So, plus the road we are on, there are three endless passages here?"
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he nodded to the subordinates and said: "In that case, let's go to the other two endless passages to check. Maybe the "Skull Crushing Madman" Benson is trapped in
One of them."
"Sir, please wait a moment."
Lian's crisp voice sounded, and she bowed slightly and said, "Sir, I think it's not that simple here."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a curious expression on his face, gesturing for him to continue speaking.
As a divine creation, Lian's perception in some aspects is undoubtedly different from ordinary people.
"Sir, after my subordinate's perception, I feel that there should be other hidden backdoors here."
Lian first sheathed the long sword in his hand, then nodded respectfully to Lei Xiao and said: "It's just that these three hidden backdoors are often opened and are in a normal state, while the other hidden backdoors are in a normal state due to the ancient time.
The reason is that it is in a state of being activated, which makes it less noticeable."
"So, these three hidden backdoors are often used by goblins, and in addition, there are also magical backdoors that even goblins have not discovered?"
After understanding what Lian's words meant, Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he nodded to Hong Ye and said, "Then let's try to detect it again."
"As you command! Sir."
Hong Ye first took a deep breath, then closed her eyes slightly and began to concentrate on perception.
Sure enough, after the brilliance of the fiery red dazzling magic array dissipated, two more hidden portals appeared in front of everyone amid the ripples of energy.
For a time, five chaotic vortices were neatly arranged next to the cave wall, with dark gray strange substances constantly churning in them. They looked quite spectacular.
"Hongye, Lian, the cadre is good."
Lei Xiao nodded to the two subordinates beside him, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's start the investigation."
After speaking, Lei Xiao was the first to walk into a newly opened chaotic vortex, surrounded by his subordinates.
Along with a familiar feeling of lightness, when Lei Xiao felt his feet became solid again, he had arrived in a new underground space.
As soon as he landed, an extremely strong musty old smell poured into Lei Xiao's nasal cavity, causing him to involuntarily rub his itchy nose.
However, since Lei Xiao has opened the energy shield in advance, the impact of dust in the air has been reduced to a minimum.
At first glance, there are no green crystals inlaid on the walls here, and everything is pitch black.
After the Star Child's night vision effect, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed further.
The width here is obviously much wider than the tunnel just now, and it can accommodate at least thirty people passing side by side.
Moreover, the environment is not humid, but extremely dry. Even the hard uneven feeling under the feet is much more obvious.
All in all, no matter what it is, it is completely different from the tunnel just now.
"It's interesting."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Okay, since we have arrived, let's let this place be filled with light."
"As you command, my lord."
As Ariel gently waved the short staff in her hand, dazzling magic light balls emerged out of thin air and quickly spread to the surroundings.
The next second, the entire underground cave suddenly became as bright as day.
By the light of the magic light ball, the group of people looked around.
Just as Lei Xiao had just seen, except for the dry and more spacious environment, the place was empty and there was no trace of any other living things.
"Sir, there is a strong rotten smell here."
At this moment, Bai Wei's startled voice reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"The smell of corruption?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao sniffed and sniffed carefully again. Apart from the strong smell of dust, he found nothing else in his nose.
"Sir, there is indeed a rotten smell here, but it has obviously been a long time ago."
Immediately afterwards, Hongye, who was a dragon, and Lian, who was a divine creation, also nodded.
"Understood, let's look forward now."
Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao held Rolandal tightly and took his own steps again.
Suddenly, this underground tunnel that had been sealed in dust for countless years began to hear the sound of exploring footsteps again.
Bangta, bangta, bangta...
A pair of delicate and sturdy leather boots landed on the ground, stirring up a burst of dust on the hard soil.
This ancient underground tunnel is filled with the breath of life that has not been seen for a long time.
This new passage seems to be longer than the previous one.
After walking for about ten minutes, at the end of Lei Xiao's sight, apart from the unchanging solid cave walls and uneven ground, new things gradually appeared.
Narrowing his eyes and looking intently, Lei Xiao noticed.
It was a short humanoid figure lying motionless on its side on the ground.
Its whole body was covered with rusty iron armor. Just inside the semi-enclosed helmet facing the group of people, a white object that was already somewhat yellowed could be vaguely seen.
It was a weird skull with two large empty eye sockets, occupying at least one-half of the entire face. It was definitely not a characteristic of the human race.
The slightly open mandible is covered with yellowish and black teeth, which seem to be silently telling a long-lasting past event.
"Sir, that is the corpse of a goblin."
Just when Lei Xiao saw this, Hong Ye's crisp voice came over: "And it's obviously a Goblin soldier."
"I see."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and felt that his scalp was starting to feel numb.
Due to the "lost ruins effect" that has not yet been solved, although Lei Xiao has explored many ancient ruins, he has never seen a real skeleton among them.
Therefore, this sudden scene obviously exceeded his psychological expectations.
"However, this at least shows that it definitely does not come from the blank era three thousand years ago."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and shifted his focus from the skeleton to other things.
However, just after walking a few steps, an even more shocking scene appeared.
At the end of the road ahead, one, two, three... up to countless Goblin skeletons began to appear.
Each one was wearing rusty armor, lying on the ground in a mess, and various weapons that had also been corroded by time were scattered throughout the cave.
For a moment, a chilling air from ancient times rushed towards him.
"No wonder it's filled with a strong rotten smell."
Looking at the densely packed goblin skeletons not far ahead, Bai Wei sniffed slightly and said with some disbelief: "It turns out that an army of goblins was buried here."
"Could this have been a battlefield?"
Chaoyan, who has always been careless, had a curious look on his face, blinked his big eyes and said in confusion: "This is really surprising!"
"There are no traces of battle on the surface of the cave wall, and there are no traces of damage by weapons on the armor and bones. Moreover, there are only Goblin corpses here."
Lian, who had already reached the bones and started to squat down to examine them, said thoughtfully: "From this, we can be sure that this is not a battlefield."
"So that's the case, then things will be very clear."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by other subordinates, nodded slightly and said: "It seems that the goblins obviously paid a high price when they conquered these endless passages."
After speaking, Lei Xiao sniffed and tried his best to adapt to the environment here, and then said: "Then, let us take a closer look and see if there are any unexpected gains."
