Chapter 1573: In-depth and surprising
"Xiao Fan, now is not the time to mess around!"
Lena looked at the stone elves blocking her way and said with a frown, "Now only the human king can save my father!"
"Is he the human emperor who has become famous recently?"
The stone elf named Xiaofan stared at Lei Xiao for a moment, and finally made way for him. He then said to Lena, "Your Highness, please allow me to accompany you as well!"
"Follow closely!"
Lena's voice was still full of urgency. She rushed to the front again, and Xiaofan followed closely behind her and rushed into the passage together.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded to the strong men and followed closely behind the two of them.
After entering this passage which was obviously much wider, Lei Xiao noticed further.
Compared to the old castle walls that were bearing traces of time, the walls here, although slightly mottled, were obviously much newer. It seemed that they were indeed built a hundred years ago as Lena said. Even the wave texture on them was slightly different in shape, and it was obviously not the work of the same craftsman.
As he moved forward, Lei Xiao noticed further.
The stone elf named Xiaofan would occasionally cast a vague, questioning look at him, even revealing a hint of wariness.
Lena and the strong men who were accompanying us could clearly feel a palpable tension, even Fei'er, who had always been calm and composed, felt the same.
This is not surprising. After all, the other party claims to be a god. In addition, he has an indescribably huge body and a strange defense mechanism. He is even quite similar to "Eclipse". No one knows where the other party came from.
"But what is certain is that the other party should be the same as the old man in the sand robe, with only a trace of broken life source."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao looked at the strong men surrounding him. Compared with the time when he met the old man in sand robe, his strength has long been incomparable. Even if the other party intends to fight to the death, he may not be without the ability to fight.
Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, a strong smell of blood rushed towards him.
I saw that the originally empty passage ahead suddenly had a conspicuous strange white obstacle, as if it was blocked by a ball of surging cotton.
Looking more closely, it was the densely packed Devouring Guards that were squeezing and piling up against each other, completely blocking the way ahead.
"Are those the Devouring Guards that Your Majesty just mentioned?"
After seeing this scene, all the powerful men who were accompanying them couldn't help but gasp and felt their scalps tingling.
Those strange fist-sized white eyeballs exude a strong murderous aura. Although it is different from the fear brought by "Eclipse", it is also frightening.
"Your Majesty, that is the entrance to the temple!"
Lena's pace slowed down significantly, and she spoke to Lei Xiao with a trembling voice: "In the beginning, these white suspended particles only appeared in dots, but I didn't expect that they are so dense now!"
"Your Highness is right. The enemy's density is even increasing. It's just like a nightmare."
Xiaofan's throat rolled subconsciously, and he clenched the fishman's long sword engraved with wave patterns in his hand.
“An expected sight.”
The purple magical light around Lei Xiao appeared and disappeared from time to time, and he was already walking in the front of the team.
I had seen such a scene once before when I was in the sacred land of the Gorgons.
Directly opposite the team, those Devouring Guards obviously noticed the arrival of our group. They slowly turned the black spots on their white bodies, and the murderous intent around them became more and more pervasive.
Lei Xiao didn't care at all and continued to approach the other party.
"Your Majesty, they will attack anyone who approaches the temple entrance!"
Seeing this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but frowned and reminded: "Those weird guys ignore all attacks!"
Before Xiao Fan finished his words, the hundred or so Devouring Guards in the front had already shot out at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, and pounced directly towards Lei Xiao!
For a moment, the entire passage was filled with strong winds, and the sound of the Devouring Guards breaking through the air shook everyone's eardrums.
In almost the blink of an eye, the Devouring Guard in the front was already very close to Lei Xiao.
The moment they approached Lei Xiao, the strange fist-sized bodies of those Devouring Guards suddenly grew in size, and the small black spots on their bodies that looked like pupils directly split open and turned into huge mouths like the abyss, swallowing up Lei Xiao.
Because all this happened too suddenly, Lena, Xiaofan and others who were standing not far behind Lei Xiao had no time to react. They just opened their eyes wide.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Lena's voice was filled with worry, and she even broke her voice when she shouted.
After all, the main reason why the merman princess begged Lei Xiao for help was that she was at her wit's end and was not very clear about the latter's strength.
Now, seeing the latter facing so many strange white eyeballs alone, the worry in his heart is self-evident.
After all, these horrible creatures devoured more than a thousand of the most elite fishmen warriors, including a captain of the personal guards who was half a step to the seventh level!
Next to Lena, Xiaofan had the same worried look, but also a bit of helplessness.
It seems that the human emperor does not understand the horror of these strange white eyeballs. He is just brave but not wise. Now he is probably going to die here.
Just when Lena and Xiaofan were feeling discouraged, there was no change in Lei Xiao's expression, and the tip of the Odoste in his hand was already flashing with lightning.
"Lightning arc explodes!"
Along with Lei Xiao's roar, countless leaping purple magical lights suddenly surged out, sweeping towards the Devouring Guards like a landslide and tsunami.
Wherever the dazzling purple light went, those Devouring Guards were immediately surrounded by lightning, making crackling sounds one after another.
In the next second, all the strange white eyeballs around, including those Devouring Guards who were already very close to Lei Xiao, exploded at once, and soon turned into tiny white particles and dissipated into the air.
“What, what is this…?!”
Seeing this scene, Lena and Xiaofan, who were not far away, couldn't help but be stunned.
Especially Xiaofan, who just thought that Lei Xiao was about to be in trouble, opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
I didn’t expect that this human emperor really possesses the ability to defeat those weird white eyeballs!
Just as Lena and Xiaofan were shocked, a group of our strong men had already followed like a shadow and surrounded Lei Xiao.
The two people standing in the front were burly and strong, both wearing plate armor and holding brand new sixth-order battle axes. They were Hollis and Lux, the two half-Titans who had transformed into human form.
"Your Majesty, the task of clearing the way is left to me!"
The battle axe in Hollis's hand shone brightly, and he nodded heavily at Lei Xiao.
Lila, Kayla, Bruce, Phil, Jasmine, Bing Lao and other strong men have also lined up and are ready to go.
"Keep compact and get ready to charge straight in!"
Lei Xiao waved his hand, and every strong man on our side felt as if they were bathed in spring breeze. A gentle but tenacious force continuously poured into their bodies. This was the power of God's favor, and it was also the source of strength to deal with the Devouring Guard.
After that, Lei Xiao looked at Lena again, nodded slightly and said: "Guide us to the place where your father is most likely to go."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Although Lena was shocked, she reacted extremely quickly and flew to Lei Xiao's side, while Xiaofan followed closely behind her.
Just as the group finished lining up, more Devouring Guards came roaring in with murderous intent.
"let's start."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and the weapons and equipment of our people were shining with magical light, obviously with the blessing of Xuan Ji.
At this point, Xiao Fan realized belatedly that there was actually another human being of the same kind beside the human emperor, and that the human being was even more powerful!
Following Lei Xiao's order, everyone immediately turned into a shadow and went straight to meet the aggressive Devouring Guards.
Suddenly, the whole passage was filled with strong winds, and the sharp light of blades and the dazzling light of magic complemented each other.
With the blessing of the power of God, and the fact that the core strong men were all half-step to the seventh level, Lei Xiao and his party were unstoppable all the way and soon officially entered the temple.
While the staff in his hand continuously shot out sharp lightning to clear out the massive Devouring Guards pouring in from all directions, Lei Xiao looked around and found that the walls here were indeed the same as those in the sacred place of the Gorgon, all of which were a strange frosted white color, and faintly emitting a dim white strange light.
In addition, the ground at the entrance of the hall was covered with incomplete corpses. The blood that had not yet dried was flowing everywhere, making the soles of the shoes sticky. They were obviously the powerful fishmen who tried to rescue him. This was also the source of the strong bloody smell.
As for the scale of this hall, it seemed to be even larger than the old man in sand robe's place, so that as the group went deeper, they were met with dense swarms of Devouring Guards wherever they went, and the murderous intent surging out filled the sky and earth.
Fortunately, the power of God's favor has great control over these Devouring Guards. Even though they pounced on us in an overwhelming manner, and the scene of the abyss suddenly expanding from all directions and opening its huge mouth was extremely horrifying, the group, with the blessing of God's favor, was able to chop them up as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and did not encounter much hindrance.
"Your Majesty, the main hall in front of us is where my father listened to the divine revelation!"
Lena's fair face was full of excitement as she pointed to the front of the team.
The merman princess' heart was filled with excitement at this moment, and there was an irrepressible admiration in her eyes as she looked towards Lei Xiao.
Unexpectedly, the strange white eyeball that was the god of death to the fish people was completely vulnerable to the human Majesty in front of them!
Next to Lena, there was no trace of doubt and contempt on Xiaofan's face. Instead, there was only sincere respect.
Her Royal Highness Princess asking His Majesty the Human King to come to your aid is undoubtedly the most correct choice!
While Lina and the other two were feeling excited, our powerful warriors who were encountering the Devouring Guard for the first time not far away were showing off their abilities while feeling amazed.
It has to be said that these strange white eyeballs really exceeded the imagination of everyone present.
Although the other party does not seem to be as terrible as "Eclipse", the number is extremely shocking. No matter how many are erased, they will immediately reappear. They even have the terrifying ability to replicate themselves. This is why the number of the other party is getting larger and larger.
"What are the origins of these strange things?"
Looking at the large number of Devouring Guards that were wriggling and splitting into two around them, Fei'er and Bing Lao couldn't help but frown.
As survivors of the Silver Moon Era, even though Lei Xiao had described this strange existence to them, they still felt a chill down their spines when they saw it with their own eyes.
This is not only because of the opponent's strange appearance and abnormal ability to be immune to ordinary attacks, but also a kind of fear that comes from the unknown.
Whether it is these terrible things or "eclipse", they are probably inextricably linked to the blank era, but is there some potential connection between them?
"I haven't figured out the origin of Eclipse yet, and now here come these things called Devouring Guards. What are their origins? My brain is going to burn out!"
Jasmine, who was also feeling overwhelmed, tightened her pink hood and a serious look appeared on her face.
Although she had heard that "Eclipse" was the root cause of the cataclysm, as a singer of the forest language, she had never heard those old stubborn people mention the Devouring Guard, let alone seen one.
Therefore, she was not even sure whether the forest elves knew about the existence of the Devouring Guard, but what was certain was that if the opponent's self-replication could go beyond the inside of the skeleton, the disaster it brought would probably be no less than "Eclipse".
As for Lila, Hollis and others, they have not thought about these things yet. They just know that if this happened to them, their fate would probably be no different from that of the wasteland fishmen.
However, His Majesty the Human Race can easily deal with these terrible things, including "Eclipse", so choosing to bow down to His Majesty the Human Race is undoubtedly the most correct choice!
Just when Lila and the others were getting excited, the group had already passed through a relatively narrow and strange white light passage and arrived at another vast space.
This place was still filled with Devouring Guards. The densely packed strange white eyeballs were piled on top of each other, and they even changed their shapes as they squeezed each other, from circles to irregular ovals or even squares piled together, which looked dazzling.
"Your Majesty, this is the main hall, and my father should be right in front!"
Lena's voice was filled with anxiety as she stared carefully at the scene ahead.
Under the group's powerful attack, the space in front that was originally tightly packed was quickly cleared by more than half. Although the opponent was still constantly replicating and squeezing in, it was still easy to open up a passage.
It didn't take long for a large altar to appear in front of everyone, and in front of the altar was an old figure wearing a crown and kneeling on the ground. (End of this chapter)
