Chapter 788 The crystal city under the snowy night
Under the cold snowy night, Lei Xiao stared at the dark city standing on the vast snowfield in front of him. Instead of showing any doubts, he was full of expectations.
Although I don’t know why this strange city that shouldn’t exist here appears, I can witness it with my eyes as to what is inside the towering city walls.
"Everyone, please be vigilant. Let's get closer."
Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him, and the sharp Rolandel had already appeared on his palm.
The subordinates held their chests and accepted the orders, and surrounded Lei Xiao again, and Erza also used extremely sophisticated illusions, making the group of people hide all traces in the snow.
Lei Xiao and his ten main subordinates marched about another kilometer in the snow, and the giant city in front began to grow taller and taller.
Wherever he looked, Lei Xiao could clearly see the giant city gate standing among the falling snowflakes.
I saw that the giant city gate was at least fifteen meters high, and the city wall was thirty meters higher. The endless wall was like an insurmountable giant peak, which was daunting.
Such a grand scene, coupled with the fact that the entire city has no light source and is only covered with a faint layer of hazy moonlight, makes this strange city shrouded in darkness exude a deep and mysterious atmosphere.
"The sudden huge dark empty city, the unknown everything, is a bit interesting."
The look of anticipation on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious, and he was quite excited in his heart.
"Lord, the unknown city ahead is close at hand, what should we do next?"
A rough and powerful voice sounded, and the knotweed touched his chest and saluted, asking respectfully.
"For those of us who are in urgent need of improving our strength, this place is like a huge treasure, and there is no reason to let it go."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, slowly looked back at the city wall, and then fell on Ariel and others who were still looking puzzled around him. He smiled and said: "Besides, since everyone is curious about the reason for this strange city,
It will appear out of thin air, so let’s use our hands to uncover this mystery ourselves.”
After hearing Lei Xiao's answer, excitement appeared on the hesitant faces of the subordinates, and they all began to be eager to try.
"Ariel, please light the way for everyone first."
Lei Xiao nodded to Princess Lengyan beside him and gave instructions softly.
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
Ariel, who was already ready to go, drew a standard golden six-pointed star in mid-air with the staff in her slender hand, and dozens of dazzling light balls immediately emerged from the golden magic array.
Then, under the control of Ariel, they were arranged neatly and at regular intervals to form a giant light curtain, which slowly flew towards the towering city wall.
For a moment, the originally dark snowy night suddenly became as bright as day.
At this point, the true face of this unexpectedly strange city was revealed in front of Lei Xiao and his party.
Reflected by the golden light curtain, Lei Xiao looked at the towering city wall not far away and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It turns out that the city wall in front of me is not an ordinary stone structure, but a translucent light blue crystal structure. The crystal clear appearance is as if it was built directly from ice.
As for the closed giant city gate, it is another kind of dark blue crystal structure, with a lightly frosted surface.
Under the dark night, the brilliant golden light curtain, the numerous white snowflakes, and the crystal blue giant city walls and gates formed a unique scene, giving people a heavy and majestic feeling.
Seeing this scene, not only Lei Xiao himself, but also the subordinates around him were also amazed, and they were obviously shocked by the magnificent scene in front of them.
"What a crystal-clear and magnificent city wall."
Surprised, Lei Xiao rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
Then, just when Lei Xiao was about to ask Hongye to go check the situation on the city wall.
Without any warning, the golden magic light curtain used for illumination in mid-air suddenly dissipated out of thin air, making the scene in front of him pitch black again.
"Huh?"
As the magic light curtain dissipated, Ariel, as the caster, also made a very puzzled sound.
"Ariel, what happened?"
Lei Xiao's eyes also showed doubts, and he asked while waving his hands to signal his subordinates to be alert.
"Back to my lord, my subordinates don't know either."
Ariel blinked her clear star eyes, shook her head in confusion and said: "My subordinate just controlled the light curtain to approach the city wall, and the light curtain suddenly collapsed, as if it was intercepted by something."
"Intercepted? Is it a magic barrier?"
Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows, then looked at Jiang Li and Hong Ye on the other side, nodding for them to go and check.
Jiang Li, who is a half-elf ancestor, and Hong Ye, who is a dragon, are the only fifth-level magic powerhouses in the territory. Faced with the current unknown situation, it is natural that they must be the two of them.
"As you command, Lord."
Jiang Lei and Hong Ye understood each other, and a flash appeared in the air. A flame-colored magic wing flashed and disappeared in front of Lei Xiao in an instant.
Not long after, Hong Ye's dignified rustling voice came over first: "Lord Qi, the outside of this unknown city is indeed surrounded by a special magic barrier. It seems that Ariel's light curtain is
Because it accidentally hit it, it suddenly dissipated."
After a pause, Hong Ye added: "This kind of protective wall is different from conventional absolute defense barriers and magic restrictions. I have never seen it before. While it can perfectly block spells and objects, it can also allow snowflakes to
Unobstructed access is extremely exquisite.”
"It's true. My subordinates have never seen such a wonderful magical barrier."
Jiang Li's equally awe-inspiring clear voice then sounded: "In addition, this protective wall also has the effect of dissolving the power of spells. It is far from being comparable to ordinary absolute defense barriers or magic restrictions. Subordinates can even use it to
I feel a trace of energy fluctuation in the space system."
"So, are we blocked from the city by this magic wall?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully while walking slowly on the snow surrounded by other subordinates.
Of course, Lei Xiao knew everything about the absolute defense barrier and magic restriction mentioned by the two.
Not to mention the absolute defense barrier, in the recent territory attack and defense battle, I relied on this barrier to destroy the army of white knights besieging the territory at the minimum cost.
The magic restriction, also known as the perfect magic lock, can actually be regarded as an alternative absolute defensive barrier from a functional point of view.
However, compared with the one-way space barrier defensive barrier, the magic restriction is a two-way space barrier. Although it can also withstand attacks from the outside, it also inhibits the counterattack of those within the barrier.
In addition, the cost of constructing magic restrictions is much higher than that of ordinary defensive barriers, so its application on the battlefield is relatively limited and is far less widespread than defensive barriers.
But no matter which one of the two, they all have one thing in common.
That is, as long as the supplied magic power is exhausted or reaches the critical point of the highest defense strength, it will be successfully broken and everything will cease to exist.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned and asked: "Jiang Li, Hong Ye, can you think of a way to get rid of it?"
"Go back to the lord, I'm afraid I can't."
Jiang Lei's rather helpless voice immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Lord, just like Hong Ye said just now, this protective wall is extremely sophisticated. It can not only offset spells, but also has its own energy absorption function. Even the space traversal used by my subordinates with all their strength cannot damage it.
Every cent."
As he spoke, Jiang Li's crisp voice became extremely solemn again: "If my subordinate's inference is correct, this magic wall has obviously reached the sixth level."
"It seems that the owner of this strange city is definitely not an ordinary person."
After Lei Xiao said this, he had already led other subordinates to where Jiang Lei and Hong Ye were.
This place is only about twenty steps away from the giant city gate, almost at the base of the crystal clear wall.
Arriving next to Jiang Lei and Hong Ye, Lei Xiao noticed.
As expected, a looming translucent magic barrier appeared in front of him.
Because the protective wall is also light blue and almost blends in with the wall behind it, plus the heavy snow that disturbs the line of sight, the group did not see it in time just now.
"Is this the thing that blocks my exploration?"
Lei Xiao stared at the magic barrier within reach, his brows furrowed together.
It is undeniable that although this magical barrier looks ordinary, a sense of oppression like an insurmountable giant mountain immediately surged into Lei Xiao's heart.
"Polygonum cuspidatum, Lian, Yecang, Nanxing, Nanyue, you can go up and try it too."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded to the subordinates who were good at melee combat.
However, following a fierce attack that could crack mountains and rocks, amid the flash of swords and shadows, the magic wall in front of him remained as solid as ever.
"As the saying goes, people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. It seems that the same is true for the magic wall."
Seeing that the light blue shield was still unscathed, Lei Xiao curled his lips helplessly.
"Is there no other way?"
In desperation, Lei Xiao stretched out his palm, wanting to gently pat the invisible magic wall in front of him before making other considerations.
However, the next second, something unexpected happened.
As soon as Lei Xiao's palm came into contact with the surface of the light blue protective wall, the originally indestructible magic protective wall shattered at the touch, forming an arched door of normal size. The scene was like welcoming Lei Xiao.
Seeing this sudden scene, not only Lei Xiao himself was stunned, but even the subordinates around him had expressions of unexpected surprise.
The magic barrier that the three fifth-level experts couldn't break open was actually broken by the lord at a single touch?
Although I don’t know how the lord did it, he is indeed the lord who has created countless miracles!
Thinking of this in their hearts, all the subordinates began to rejoice again.
"Wait a minute, isn't this a trap?"
Seeing that the road ahead was open, Lei Xiao began to hesitate.
"Lord, my subordinates know what is going on."
A crisp voice sounded, and Lian, who had been contemplating Liu Mei, seemed to have sensed something. He quickly walked up to Lei Xiao, bowed and saluted: "This powerful magic barrier was indeed opened by the lord. As for the
The "key" that opens the protective wall is what the lord wears!"
"oh?"
Lei Xiao subconsciously looked down and saw that he was still wearing the familiar fifth-level leather armor, and on the inner layer of the leather armor, he was wearing the badge of the gods!
The reason why Lei Xiao didn't display it was because it was too eye-catching, and secondly, it was to prevent it from being lost in the battle. Such a precious object must be well protected.
"So that's it?"
Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a small pale golden six-pointed star badge appeared on his palm.
At this time, the God's Family Badge was emitting a faint golden light, which complemented the light blue light of the surrounding magic wall, as if there was some kind of resonance.
"Yes, Lord."
A trace of affirmation appeared on Lian's fair face, and he nodded and said: "After you opened this magic barrier, after careful perception, I found some familiar auras in this city, which seemed to be other gods.
Creation!"
"Other divine creations?!"
Lei Xiao had obviously fully reacted and said in surprise: "Lian, so it means that this place is a place blessed by gods just like the magnificent city you were once in?"
After hearing what Lei Xiao and Lian said, the other subordinates who had participated in the search for Huo De in the old mining area of Gelin City also suddenly became enlightened.
In that magical and majestic city, the sophistication of countless divine creations is staggering.
As the only divine creation battle doll that can still move, Rei comes and goes without a trace, and the energy fluctuations emitted by him cannot be detected at all.
However, it is absolutely normal for Lian, who is also a divine creation, to be able to sense the existence of other divine creations.
As for Gracilaria and Erza, who had never been to the land of gods in the old mining area, their faces were full of excitement and they jumped for joy.
Especially Erza, who was already extremely interested in ancient ruins, was so excited that she almost took off on the spot.
You know, being able to enter the land of the gods that only appears in legends and is called the "Foyer of the God's Realm" is the ultimate dream of all ruin scholars and historians!
"Lord, if my subordinate's prediction is correct, as long as the lord extracts a trace of the power of the gods from the emblem of the gods, and then injects it into the city gate in front, this land of the gods will be completely opened to the lord."
Lian's crisp and respectful voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"Understood."
Lei Xiao looked at the magic barrier that he had opened, and the joy on his face was beyond words.
In the land of God's favor last time, he not only received Lian's allegiance, but also obtained the God's favor badge and those divine arm shooters from Lian.
The most important thing is that through new clues, I have made further inferences and conjectures about the unknown things that happened in the blank era. Although I don't know if I am close to the truth, I have gained a lot.
I wonder what new gains I will get this time in this brand new land of God’s favor?
While overjoyed, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something and couldn't help but frown slightly.
I saw Lei Xiao retracting his gaze, and said doubtfully to the divine warrior in front of him who was loyal to him: "Lian, before entering this land of gods, I have one more question that needs your answer."
"Excuse me, my lord, my subordinates must tell you everything they know."
Lian still maintained a respectful posture and responded in a sassy manner.
