In the thick black mist, Lei Xiao, surrounded by all the powerful men, was galloping forward at the fastest speed while frowning.
Just like what I just thought, everything went too smoothly from the moment I entered Kongqing Town.
But if things are really that simple, then why have there been no news from the pterodactyl knights such as Hu Zhi, Lian, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Ju Bai, Sean, and even Kunbu and Celia?
What is the origin of the unknown opponent chasing Kunbu and Celia?
This obviously goes against the current extremely smooth situation.
After all, starting from the granary in the east of the city, he went to the four areas east of the city, south of the city, center of the city, and the empty north of the city, and he had already explored most of the entire city.
But he didn't find anything noteworthy except for the realm of death itself.
"In addition, coupled with the fact that all the defenders in the storage area in the north of the city have not been converted into undead, but have mysteriously disappeared... it can be seen that there must be a conspiracy of the Nightmare Knight hidden in this."
Feeling the strong wind whistling by his ears, Lei Xiao's brows almost knitted together.
At this time, it can be clearly observed.
As he and his subordinates continued to deepen, the black mist around the western area of the city, which was almost entirely a large residential area, began to become thicker and thicker.
"Having said that, although the west part of the city is mainly dominated by dense residential areas, because I have gathered residents from the surrounding villages, they only account for at most one-third of the city's population."
"Even if some of the missing defenders are added to it, it will not be enough to reach the critical point for the activation of the Death Realm, which will then trigger an undead storm that sweeps the entire city. I have confirmed this with Lina."
"Before this, I had already led all the powerful men to eliminate a large number of undead warriors. What on earth was the Nightmare Knight planning who did not stop this?"
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this in confusion.
In front of the group of people, a group of tall, hazy black figures suddenly appeared, wandering aimlessly.
Lei Xiao cautiously flew near the black shadow and noticed.
These are actually a group of clay warriors with mud constantly dripping from their bodies.
Judging from the aura, each one has reached an extremely impressive third-order peak level.
Lei Xiao had seen similar clay warriors in the secluded cave of Fleming, one of the nine dragon-slaying heroes and Lina's teacher.
At that time, this high-level golem puppet, which was not afraid of physical damage, caused a lot of hardships to Sean and other pterodactyl knights who discovered the secluded place.
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe.
Different from the clay warriors who lived in seclusion, these clay warriors who appeared in the mist were obviously taller and burlier.
Moreover, the mud dripping from the body seemed to evaporate as soon as it touched the ground, and immediately turned into a black mist, blending into the denser black mist around it, which looked quite strange.
"Lord, you are a fearful clay warrior!"
A look of surprise appeared on Lina's wheat-colored face, and she blurted out: "This kind of fearful clay warrior is more terrifying than the ordinary clay warrior who guarded the retreat of the subordinate teacher before!"
"oh?"
Lei Xiao nodded and motioned for Lina to continue speaking, and listened with raised eyebrows.
"Lord, the biggest characteristic of this fearful clay warrior is that, in addition to being unafraid of physical attacks, it is able to be reborn unlimited times within a designated area!"
Lina's cheeks were full of solemnity as she continued to explain: "It stands to reason that the fear field required to control the fearful clay warriors and the death field that constantly transforms the undead are two completely different necromancy enchantment systems.
"
"But I didn't expect that the Nightmare Knight could actually combine the two and make them appear in the same area!"
Just as Lina introduced softly.
At the corner of the street not far away, another group of burly clay warriors appeared, slowly walking towards Lei Xiao.
"I see, with no fear of physical attacks and infinite rebirth within the domain, this should be the unknown and terrifying opponent that Kunbu and Celia saw at that time, right?"
"For those who are in the second level or even in the early third level, facing this nearly invincible opponent, running away is indeed the best choice."
"No, even the fourth-level powerhouses such as Nanxing and Nanyue will probably find it extremely difficult. After all, the opponent is not afraid of physical attacks and cannot be completely eliminated."
"It seems that the mysterious force that restrains the main strong men under my command has been found."
Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, looking at the burly clay warriors one far away and one near, totaling 20 in total, and nodded thoughtfully.
The clay warriors in this corner of the street alone are equivalent to the combat power of two fourth-level warriors.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned his head, frowned and asked Lina: "Then the fundamental way to deal with these clay warriors is to also deal with the casters, right?"
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Lina nodded her head with leaves heavily and responded: "The source of the power of this fearful clay warrior, in addition to the magic power of the caster, comes from the fear of the innocent people in the barrier, and from this
Judging from dense residential areas, I'm afraid the number will be very large."
"Understood."
Lei Xiao ignored the clay warriors who had discovered him and were about to pounce on him. Instead, he led the main force and galloped towards the densest residential area in the west of the city.
"Judging from the current situation, the area where the clay warriors operate is limited to the west area of Kongqing Town where I am currently located."
"Could it be that the Nightmare Knight has gone to great lengths to display the dual domain just to strengthen the combat power of the Western District? No, this possibility is obviously slim."
"So, it must have some other purpose, plus the strange situation of the North District defender disappearing before... So what is the Nightmare Knight planning?"
Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this.
As the group of people galloped, a faint cry of death penetrated the dense fog and reached his ears.
Looking around at the familiar buildings around him, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded slightly.
As the Lord of Kongqing City, although he does not live here, he often wanders around the city in his spare time, so he is quite familiar with the environment here.
"Ahead is the main square in the West District, where the battle took place."
Nodding to the subordinates beside him, Lei Xiao waved his hand and said: "Go at full speed, go see what is happening there."
"As you command! Lord!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's order, all the subordinates bowed and said in unison.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party to pass through the thick black fog and arrive at the main square in the west city.
However, what happened in front of them made Lei Xiao and others stunned.
