Chapter 1631 Joining and Passing the Trial
Looking at the strange stone elf's delicate face dotted with a few freckles, Lei Xiao clearly understood that even if Anna's matter had come to an end, the only thing left was the test of the "Gate of Truth".
Although the strange stone elf has not made any move yet, if it suddenly attacks, I am afraid we will soon be in a very passive situation.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao had already tightly gripped the hilt of the sword in his hand, and the powerful men and stone elves around him also realized this and quickly surrounded the strange stone elf in the center.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Faced with this sudden situation, the strange stone elf shook his head in confusion, with a look of bewilderment on his face.
Judging from her confused expression, she had obviously considered herself as one of the group.
After a while, she finally reacted, jumped up high, and waved her hands quickly, saying, "Don't get excited, I'm not ready to start the test yet!"
At this point, she showed a playful smile again, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, I won't act suddenly, so let's solve the matter of the crazy elf first!"
After saying that, she quickly put away her weapon, stood aside obediently, and expressed her sincerity.
After seeing this scene, Lei Xiao's nervous mood eased a little and he focused his attention on Anna again.
Lei Xiao had also sensed the majestic aura emanating from Anna.
The former is a genuine demigod, powerful enough to be on par with the phantom of the Deer Man Ancestor. If he can stand with me, then our top combat power will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
"Sir, I am not a crazy elf!"
After hearing the words of the strange stone elf, Anna quickly waved her hands, looking extremely embarrassed.
It was obvious that as she held the big pink water cup, her mood had obviously eased a lot.
After that, she looked at Lei Xiao again, and explained somewhat helplessly: "Your Majesty, you must believe me. I am actually very quiet in reality and will never cause trouble!"
"Of course I believe you."
Looking at the embarrassment on Anna's fair face, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
After saying this, just when Lei Xiao was about to ask Anna if she was willing to join, the latter took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, your wisdom and tenacity are admirable. If you don't mind, please let me become one of you and take me away from here!"
While speaking, Anna's starry eyes were fixed on Lei Xiao with a look of great anticipation.
The reason why she spoke like this was, on the one hand, because in the dream space, Lei Xiao and the strong men under his command showed extremely amazing persistence and tenacity. They never lowered their heads until they grasped the dawn of victory. This reminded her of the situation of the gray elves in the past, which was so similar.
On the other hand, Lei Xiao finally woke her up from the dream space and brought her back to reality.
Especially Lei Xiao’s words, “No matter how beautiful this place is, it is just a dream after all, and there will inevitably be a moment when you wake up,” touched her heart deeply.
The reason why she has been sleeping here, apart from the effect of the barrier, is that she does not want to face the complete destruction of her people and homeland, so she chooses to escape everything here and regards the outside world as an abyss.
However, Lei Xiao's series of actions told her that this was just waiting for death, and facing everything was the first step to grasping hope.
Therefore, this gave her a feeling that no matter what, as long as she followed the former, it would definitely be the right thing to do.
"Ah this..."
Seeing Anna bring up this matter on her own initiative, Lei Xiao, who was still thinking of what to say, was a little at a loss.
"Your Majesty is unwilling to accept me?"
Looking at Lei Xiao's somewhat surprised expression, Anna's starry eyes dimmed.
"Of course not. I'm so happy."
Lei Xiao quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Anna, welcome to join us."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the other strong men on our side smiled and nodded, and applauded to welcome him. Even the strange stone elves had the same expression and even cheered.
But after only a moment, the strange stone elf apparently thought of something, and a look of helplessness emerged on his wheat-colored face.
You know, she had just lost most of the colossi in the battle with the dark elf Anna, and those were originally used for testing!
Now, Lei Xiao and his group, who were already very powerful, have recruited the Crazy Elf, which is undoubtedly a further improvement.
But she was only a stone elf who was half a step away from becoming a seventh-order stone elf, and the colossus was almost completely destroyed. What was the point of this test?
Just when the strange stone elf looked helpless, Lei Xiao and his group's eyes fell on her again.
Now that Anna's matter has come to an end, it's time to deal with the strange stone elves.
"Ahem, everyone, welcome to the "Gate of Boundaries"!"
Although she was helpless, the strange stone elf clearly understood that she was a [God's Stone] after all, and she couldn't just give up, right? Although she wanted to do so, after all, she had waited for three thousand years for the human emperor and his entourage to come!
She coughed lightly, then pretended to be calm and said, "Although it is not easy for you to come here, as a creature created by God, I will not let you down. So get ready, the test officially begins now!"
After saying that, the strange stone elf turned over his palm, and a giant battle axe emitting a sharp cold light emerged, and the aura around him suddenly surged.
Seeing this, all our strong men did not dare to be careless at all and were ready to go.
As we all know, the test of [God's Stone] is extremely harsh, and it is undoubtedly a test of life and death for ordinary strong people.
Back then, even the exploration teams sent by the top-notch forces among all races often returned empty-handed and only succeeded after many challenges. This is a clear example.
Seeing that Lei Xiao and his group were all serious, and even Anna was in a fighting stance, beads of sweat immediately appeared on the forehead of the strange stone elf.
This wasn't the test she was supposed to host; it was simply a prelude to getting a beating!
Although feeling nervous, the strange stone elf still took a deep breath and immediately raised a gust of wind, rushing towards Lei Xiao and his group.
It is not difficult to judge from the giant statues standing at the "gate" and her armor that she is obviously a powerful stone elf with extraordinary strength. And judging from the previous situation of lifting the magic ban in the forbidden land, she also possesses extremely good magical abilities. Judging from her momentum, she is indeed quite difficult to deal with.
Just as Lei Xiao and others were concentrating on preparing to take the attack, something unexpected happened.
The strange stone elf flew a few meters with tremendous momentum, and was tripped by an invisible stone. It fell down and the battle axe flew out of its hand.
"Hehe, it seems that I have lost. You all are indeed extraordinary."
The strange stone elf smiled awkwardly as he climbed up from the ground. He then coughed lightly and said seriously, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for passing my test! From now on, I am your Majesty's property!"
"..."
The whole place was silent for a moment. Even Xuan Ji and others who were also stone elves opened their eyes wide and were unable to react for a moment.
Wow, is this the way to play? This strange trial of the same kind is really a bit sloppy. To be more precise, what's the difference between this and giving it away for free?
"Tsk, you are just standing there watching the fun without any pain in your waist. It's better for me to get beaten up for nothing, but what if I hurt the human emperor?"
The strange stone elf had obviously sensed what the other stone elves were thinking, and looked very righteous.
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your orders."
Lei Xiao was naturally able to sense the mental communication between the stone elves and smiled helplessly.
"Hehe, I can't wait to sign a contract with Your Majesty!"
A hint of anxiety surged onto the wheat-colored face of the strange stone elf, and with a flicker of its body, it transformed back into the form of the [God's Stone], a crystal clear dark purple gem that exuded a shining luster.
The next second, this brand new [God's Stone] fell into Lei Xiao's palm.
The moment Lei Xiao touched the gem, a dazzling golden light rose up, enveloping Lei Xiao and the [God's Stone].
Lei Xiao was very familiar with this feeling. It was the beginning of signing the contract.
“I wonder if we’ll see something different this time?”
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking of this in his mind, the brilliant golden light in front of him suddenly disappeared, and what emerged was a scene like the end of the world.
Lei Xiao found himself standing among the ruins of an unknown place, surrounded by charred corpses and black earth, with screams and wails coming one after another.
Surprised, Lei Xiao suddenly felt that the bright light around him dimmed, as if the sun was blocked by something, and he subconsciously looked up.
The scene he saw next was something Lei Xiao would never forget.
I saw a huge shadow flying across the sky filled with smoke. The shadow blocked out the sky and was so huge that it was difficult to describe. Even the edge of its body could not be seen at a glance. Coupled with the black smoke, it was impossible to tell what it was. It looked extremely blurry.
But judging from the countless giant tentacles extending from its body, it is obviously an unknown and terrifying creature.
For a moment, the scene of the terrifying giant creature roaming in the sky with its tentacles dancing wildly was extremely horrifying, making Lei Xiao feel his scalp tingling. Compared with that terrifying giant creature, the people on the ground were not even ants.
At the same time, an incomparable sense of pressure descended from the sky, making Lei Xiao almost unable to stand.
"This is……?!"
Lei Xiao was stunned at first, but then he reacted quickly.
If I am not mistaken, this is probably one of the unknown scenes in the blank era.
And that terrifying giant creature is most likely the unknown existence that the old man in the sand robe and the fishman castle had underground.
Besides, this was just an illusion presented by a god. If I had seen this scene with my own eyes, I would probably have been overwhelmed by the opponent's overwhelming momentum.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, a hoarse roar like thunder suddenly came from the sky.
The roar was as deafening as thunder, and was mixed with hostility and murderous intent.
Then, on the body of the terrifying giant in the sky, it was as if countless bloody mouths suddenly opened, and countless strange giant black fireballs sprayed out, as densely packed as a meteorite rain, smashing towards the ground!
Looking at the indescribable shocking scene before him, Lei Xiao opened his mouth but could not utter a word. Around him, the wailing and screaming were even more heart-wrenching.
Just when Lei Xiao couldn't tell whether all this was an illusion of the past or reality, a huge, sharp edge suddenly appeared in the sky, directly cutting the unstoppable and terrifying monster in half, and everything came to an abrupt end.
When Lei Xiao came to his senses, the brilliant scene just now appeared before his eyes again, and the strange stone elf had transformed into a human form again.
I saw the strange stone elf with his hands clasped in front of his chest, his wheat-colored face full of solemnity, chanting the stone elf's oath.
"...In the name of the gods, I will make a sacred contract with you. I will offer you my power and help you pursue the truth. The truth is eternal!"
As the firm voice fell, Lei Xiao was slightly stunned. The new "divine revelation" arrived as promised, and surged into his mind like a huge wave.
This time, most of the "divine revelation" is still the location and basic information of other [God's Stone] holders. In addition, there is a map with a specific location marked on it.
Lei Xiao was not unfamiliar with this map, and could even be said to be extremely familiar with it.
"Is this a map of the northern border of the Cold Flame Kingdom? Could the point marked on it be the location where I guessed the remains of the northern giant were? This is exactly the place I've been looking for!"
"But why did the prompt tell me this location? Is there some unknown secret hidden there? Or is it a clue to the truth of the blank era?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and took a deep breath.
In any case, this is exactly the clue he needs. After tonight's events are over, he must go to that place as soon as possible to find out everything.
In the next second, the scene around Lei Xiao changed again, and he had arrived in an endless pure white space, and a strange stone elf was standing in front of him with an expectant look.
Lei Xiao was also very familiar with this scene, so he naturally chose the venue to perform the secret technique.
"Then let me see what you are capable of."
Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and focused his attention on the stone elf in front of him. (End of this chapter)
