Chapter 1623 Exploration and Advancement
Just as everyone was excited, accompanied by an extremely dazzling golden light flash, everyone felt a familiar feeling of lightness around them, and it was obvious that the transmission had been activated.
However, when everyone's vision became clear again, they found that they and the others were still standing in the original position in the hall, and the surrounding environment had not changed at all.
"Huh? Why are we still here?"
A look of doubt appeared on Lila's fair face, and she looked up with confusion.
I saw that at the "door lock" position on the colossus' head, the stone giant's pendant and the half-titan's ring were still embedded there, with no difference from before.
"Is there some problem with this 'Gate of Truth'?"
Keira tightly grasped the staff in her hand, frowned slightly and said: "After all, this "door" is very special. It is integrated with the original barrier area of the ancient light elves."
"It's unlikely. The Gate of Truth is a creation of God!"
When Xiao Jing said this, her tone became a little uncertain.
After all, the "Gate of Truth" where she was did have a flaw, otherwise it would not have entered the ancient dark elves' mine on its own.
"But we did teleport just now, it's not possible that we teleported back again, right?"
Jasmine tilted her head, also with a confused look on her face.
"No, we have indeed come to a completely new area. Look at the ground."
After observing for a moment, Lei Xiao pointed to the ground around him.
"This place is also covered with a thick layer of dust, and even the air is filled with the same ancient smell as before."
Jasmine stared with her eyes wide open and observed for a moment, then suddenly she understood and said, "I understand! There are no footprints left here when we came here!"
As soon as Jasmine said this, everyone else reacted as well.
When they were exploring the palace area just now, they all left a lot of footprints on the ground, but this place looked like no one had ever been here, and was still covered with a thick layer of dust.
It seems that what the lord said is right, this is indeed a brand new area!
"If I'm not mistaken, the hall just now was just a reflection of this place. It's just an area where the 'door lock' is placed, and here is the real 'door'."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said to everyone: "Those areas that were previously blocked by barriers should be able to be explored."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, a look of excitement and expectation appeared on the faces of all the strong men.
You know, most of the people present here are exploring the legendary "Gate of Truth" for the first time. Moreover, this is not just the "Gate of Truth" but also the enchantment area of the ancient light elves. There must be some long-forgotten things hidden in it. It's simply double the joy!
"Everyone, don't be careless. Don't forget that the Gate of Truth itself is a test of life and death. It is not easy to obtain the God's Stone."
Lei Xiao turned his palm upward, and a brand new one-handed sword that was bright silver and covered with bright purple magic patterns emerged.
This long sword is called "Silver Dome Ode", and it is a brand new seventh-level long sword that Lei Xiao upgraded not long ago.
Not only does it feel very similar to Rolandel, but it also has the added bonus of thunder attribute, which is just right for the use of Lei Xiao, who is practicing both magic and martial arts. The specific attributes are as follows:
[Name: Silver Dome Ode]
[Grade: Seventh-level World (Dark Gold)]
[Attack Strength: Seven Stars]
[Additional Effect 80: Silver Dome Thunder [Increases Thunder Attack Damage by %]]
[Additional Effect 80: Silver Dome Extreme "Lightning attribute buff spell effect increased by %"]
[Additional Effect 80: Silver Dome Edge "Physical penetration increased by %"]
[Note: This sword comes from the Silver Moon Era and was forged by a winged demigod at the pinnacle of thunder using top-grade thunder meteorite iron.
It is said that this gifted winged blacksmith is not only a son chosen by God, but also a powerful practitioner of both magic and martial arts. He was also one of the demigods closest to the gods. Unfortunately, he encountered a blank era before he could enter the realm of God. 】
After hearing Lei Xiao's reminder, the other strong men immediately became extremely alert and did not dare to be careless at all.
Among them, Lila, Hollis, Fei'er and other main strong men are all equipped with seventh-level equipment that only the top strong men of first-class forces are qualified to own. Including Jasmine, Lei Xiao also equipped her with a set.
Needless to say, after receiving the seventh-level equipment from Lei Xiao, the warriors were so excited and grateful, especially Jasmine, who was so happy that she even wiped Lei Xiao's body with tears and snot.
After all, even among the forest elves who are at the top of all races, only the strong ones who are at the top in status and strength have the opportunity to obtain the seventh-level equipment of the demigod level.
As a singer of Lin Yu who had long been nothing more than a vase, it was a great blessing for Jasmine to be able to obtain a set of sixth-level equipment.
Just as Lei Xiao finished speaking, something strange happened.
Without any warning, the eyes of the giant statues standing neatly around the crowd suddenly flashed red, and their heavy axes drew deadly tracks in the air, and slashed towards the group!
"Protect the lord!"
Faced with this sudden change, the reactions of all the strong men were extremely quick. A group of physical strong men flew out and blocked the giant axe blades attacking from all around, while the magic strong men waved their staffs and launched their favorite attack spells towards the colossi.
"Space Judgment Blade!"
Jasmine, who had just obtained a new staff, reacted the fastest. A huge gray space blade swept out like a landslide and slashed towards the top of one of the giants' heads.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the huge head of the colossus shattered, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
"As expected of a seventh-tier staff, my attack power has almost doubled!"
Jasmine's starry eyes were filled with excitement, and she immediately set about dealing with the other colossus.
From the aura emanating from these giants, it is not difficult to judge that the opponents are all at the same half-step seventh level as us.
Being able to instantly kill an opponent of equal strength with one strike, even if it was just a slower golem puppet, was undoubtedly something Jasmine had never dared to even think about before!
"A hundred thunder stars fall!"
Beside Jasmine, Keira, who also obtained seventh-level equipment, was also surrounded by a surge of magic power, and shot hundreds of giant lightning balls towards another colossus.
boom! boom! boom!
Those giant lightning balls flying at high speed soon hit the giant statue like falling stars.
Amid the crackling sound of lightning, soon all over the body of the giant appeared potholes emitting black smoke. Although it did not kill the enemy with one strike, it still staggered and half-knelt.
At the forefront of the battle, physical warriors like Phil, Hollis, Lux, Payton, and Lila also performed brilliantly. The strong winds swung out by the seventh-level weapons in their hands swept across the world. Especially the power warriors like Hollis, who even directly blocked the opponent's giant axes. This was in human form.
As for Fei'er and Lila, their nimble and slender figures flashed between the giant axe blades, and like a gust of wind, they flew up along the giant's thick arms, and rushed straight to the top of the giant's head, swinging out sword lights all over the sky.
With all the powerful men showing their abilities and with increasingly close cooperation, those ferocious half-step seventh-level giants soon fell to the ground one after another, until they were restored to tiny energy particles and disappeared completely.
You know, although the speed of these colossi is relatively slow, their defense is actually extremely amazing, which can be said to be the pinnacle of the Half-Step Seventh Stage. If an ordinary Half-Step Seventh Stage powerhouse encounters them, it will be difficult to cause effective damage to the opponent in a short period of time, and they will inevitably fall into a tough battle.
But our strong men are all equipped with semi-god weapons that can be regarded as top-level divine weapons. Coupled with Xuan Ji's blessing enhancement effect, they can easily break the opponent's defense.
It didn't take long before the battle came to an end as the last colossus fell on its back.
"Is this the test of the Gate of Truth? If it were the previous one, it would have been quite tricky."
Jasmine put her hands on her hips and looked at the empty hall, looking very relaxed.
"With the attack of the Colossus and the holy objects of our stone giants and half-titans as the "Key of Truth", it seems that the trial here should be more inclined towards combat."
Lila said thoughtfully while still looking around with a vigilant look on her face.
Hearing this, Hollis and the others nodded in agreement. No matter whether they were stone giants, half-Titans, or the Titans represented by these colossi, they all regarded bloody battles and hand-to-hand combat as the highest honor for warriors.
From this, it seems that the theme of this "Gate of Truth" is most likely battle.
Hearing this, all the strong men couldn't help but look full of confidence.
Through the perception of Xuanji and other stone elves just now, the group has learned that the stone elves here are at the half-step seventh level.
The test of the [God's Stone] will not exceed the strength of the Stone Elf itself. In other words, the strongest opponent here is at the half-step seventh level.
If it is really just a simple battle, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to our side.
"From what I can see so far, it is indeed the case, but we cannot rule out other possibilities. After all, it is not easy to obtain the [God's Stone]."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and reminded everyone: "Furthermore, don't forget that this is not just a trial of the [God's Stone], it is also likely to be hidden by the ancient light elves' mechanism, so we must not be careless."
"As you command! Lord Lord!"
Everyone gathered their minds and gathered around Lei Xiao again.
"Let's finish exploring this temple first."
Lei Xiao looked at the areas that were previously blocked by barriers and took his own steps.
Just as Lei Xiao had expected, when everyone came to those areas again, the originally unbreakable barrier did not exist here anymore, causing many other areas of the hall to appear in front of everyone.
After a thorough investigation, Lei Xiao noticed.
There are many rooms distributed around the hall, some connected by corridors, and some appear alone. There are lounges, utility rooms, meeting rooms, and even bedrooms. Many rusty ancient light elf objects are displayed, but no useful objects such as weapons, armor, magic scrolls, or mineral resources are found.
"There's nothing special here, and there aren't any suspicious magic traps."
Jasmine walked out of the last room at the end of the hall corridor and frowned as she said, “Except for the thick dust.”
"It seems that this hall is not the entire barrier area, nor is it the main location of the trial."
Lei Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "There must be other passages here, which are the only way to connect to other areas. Let's look for them."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the group to return to the previous hall.
In front of everyone was a tightly closed palace door.
When he first entered here, Lei Xiao had actually noticed this door.
However, the door at that time was connected to an ancient door leading to the secret room outside, so it did not attract too much attention from Lei Xiao.
"It seems that this is the gate to other areas."
Lei Xiao stopped in front of the door and nodded at Jasmine.
Then, two space golem puppets emerged at Jasmine's call, and then pushed towards the gate from the left and right under the latter's command.
The road ahead is still unclear, so it is always better to be cautious.
With a heavy metallic friction sound, the door of the hall opened.
The moment it was opened, extremely bright sunlight shone in from the crack in the door, followed by a refreshing floral fragrance.
What caught everyone's eyes was a sunny sky and a lush garden scene.
For a moment, the ancient and solemn palace formed a very sharp contrast with the scene of birds singing and flowers blooming outside, as if they were two completely different worlds.
"It turns out that the area outside the palace is the core of this barrier area!"
Jasmine blinked her starry eyes and looked out with curiosity.
Although the bright sunshine here is just a reflection of the outside world, it looks almost no different from the outside world. This is enough to prove that the construction technology of this barrier area is extremely advanced.
"To be more precise, the real location of the trial is ahead. You better not get into any trouble, girl."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly at Jasmine, and then walked out of the hall with the other masters.
"I know. I'm not a child."
Jasmine pouted and followed Lei Xiao's footsteps. She muttered indignantly, "Besides, I'm over 800 years old, much older than you, okay?"
Hearing Jasmine's mumbling, Lei Xiao just smiled and came to the outside of the hall.
Looking around, there are flower beds with blooming flowers and neatly trimmed shrubs everywhere, which looks full of vitality.
But Lei Xiao and the other experts soon noticed something very strange and began to look at each other in bewilderment. (End of this chapter)
