Chapter 1523 Thinking and Conquering
As the mysterious emblem in the depths of the ruins approached, Jasmine hesitated for a long time before she put her hands on her waist again and said vaguely, "I can't remember clearly. I have no interest in those mysterious guys who do evil things!"
"But you explained the previous things very clearly."
Looking at the other party's lack of confidence, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that even after so many battles with him, you still haven't been able to figure out his true identity?"
"How is this possible? We forest elves are at the top of all races. Even if all the third-rate and second-rate forces are combined, we can't be shaken in the slightest! You don't know how terrifying the strength of those old monsters is. Each of them can easily fight a force alone! Not to mention our army."
Jasmine said a lot of things like popping beans, obviously trying to save face, and explained in a flustered manner: "How could we not find out the details of a group of unknown origins? It's just that I forgot!"
"If you could find out, you wouldn't use words like mysterious and unknown to describe the Eclipse Exterminator."
Lei Xiao immediately saw through Jasmine's intention and smiled helplessly.
"Maybe those old guys have found out! They just didn't tell me, that's all!"
Jasmine's tongue was a little tangled, but she still tried to save her dignity and said, "Let's take a step back. If we, the forest elves, can't do it, then this is simply an unsolvable problem!"
"Okay, okay, it seems that I was too abrupt. This is indeed an unsolvable problem."
Seeing that Jasmine's head with a pair of pointed ears was about to shut down, Lei Xiao did not continue to argue with her. Instead, he stared at the mysterious emblem in front of him and began to think.
It is not difficult to see from the information provided by Jasmine alone that those who destroyed "Eclipse" cannot be called friendly forces, but more like a group of demons who are deeply obsessed with "Eclipse" and are even willing to implicate innocent people for this.
At this stage, the catastrophe has not yet broken out, and the scale of the "eclipse" is relatively limited, but the other side has already begun to destroy villages and hurt innocent people.
If the Cataclysm breaks out completely, no one can guarantee what these "Eclipse" destroyers will do in order to destroy the "Eclipse". It is no wonder that those top forces do not like the "Eclipse" destroyers, and are even completely hostile to them.
But then again, these were all what Jasmine overheard, after all. She had never seen it in person. Given the arrogant and condescending nature of the forest elves, perhaps there was some hidden secret. At least the Eclipse Exterminator had never caused any trouble in the human territory, and it had nothing to do with her.
Furthermore, what surprised him even more was that even the forest elves had not figured out the details of the "Eclipse" destroyer. The latter was even able to fight back and forth with a group of top forces, which was enough to prove that the latter's strength was also unfathomable.
"I didn't expect that in addition to a group of top forces in this land, there is also such an unfathomable mysterious organization. It is indeed a bit surprising."
"Moreover, it is not difficult to see from these remaining traces that the other party must have quietly eliminated these "Erosions" when our group was in Guanwang City before returning here, or even when they just returned here. It is very likely that they simply passed by us."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows frowned slightly again.
If they had quietly left, that would be easier to say. After all, according to the information provided by Jasmine, this group of demons were only interested in "Eclipse" and didn't care about other things.
But if the other party is actually mixed in the team of strong men under his command, then this possibility is not impossible.
Lei Xiao thought so and glanced back and forth at the powerful people around him.
"First of all, it's impossible that it's my direct subordinates, including Broy, Chris, Fanny, Bruno, Hanershu and other clan leaders who were conquered not long ago. Secondly, it's impossible that it's Jasmine either. She has been following me since I came back. So could it be the strong men under the command of those clan leaders?"
"No, this possibility is also very small. When the search team split up just now, they were all led by the clan leader, and the strong men under his command did not have time to act alone."
"The only group without a leader is the dwarfs. However, Cornette and other dwarf warriors are guarding Or, Carol and the others who are more seriously injured. They also have no chance to act alone."
"Besides that, neither Jasmine nor the other warriors under my command had the power to wipe out the Eclipse on their own before heading to Guanwang City. If they were the destroyers of the Eclipse, it would not be realistic if they could not wipe out the Eclipse."
"Thinking about this, it is more likely that the other party left quietly before we returned. After all, Xuanji and other stone elves did not detect the breath of other stone elves."
"In any case, this matter must be reported to all the kings and generals under your command as soon as possible, and we will try to find some other clues."
"Even if the opponent's goal is just to 'destroy', it is always better to be prepared to prevent other situations from happening."
"As to whether the other party is a friend or foe, we need to observe carefully and not jump to conclusions."
After sorting out everything in his mind, Lei Xiao nodded to the other warriors and said, "Since the Eclipse destroyer has been here before, and we just searched again, it is enough to prove that the Eclipse here has been completely destroyed. Let's leave."
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, the strong men gathered their formation and quickly returned to the entrance of the underground space.
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Or and others who should have returned immediately came forward to greet him.
"Why are you still here?"
Lei Xiao was stunned at first, but then he quickly realized that the portal leading to the ground cave was not open.
"Hehe, I think I closed the teleportation array when I came in."
Jasmine smiled awkwardly, then walked forward with her staff and began to reactivate the portal.
At this juncture, Lei Xiao also asked in detail about Or and others who were stranded here, and did not see any figures passing by here.
"Human boy, this portal was activated not long ago, probably no more than half an hour ago. It seems that the Eclipse Exterminator really left not long ago!"
As the portal reappeared in front of everyone, Jasmine frowned and said to Lei Xiao.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone has left long ago, so let's go too."
Lei Xiao shrugged and told Or and others to take the injured strong men away first.
Since the other party is an existence that even the top forces cannot do anything about, it is not surprising that he can come and go freely.
"Hey, don't underestimate those guys. They are the ones that even those old monsters can't find out the details of..."
Before Jasmine could finish her words, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and could only laugh awkwardly.
As expected, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said nothing else. Instead, he casually changed the topic to the feast that the other party was looking forward to.
It didn't take long before Lei Xiao and his group returned to the camp outside the cave.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly and the air was fresh, just like when the group entered the cave. However, for the group, being able to set foot on this land that had not been ravaged by "erosion" was like a lifetime ago.
After asking the stationed soldiers, Lei Xiao confirmed the statement of the prompt voice.
Although they spent an extremely long ten days in Guanwang City, from the soldiers' perspective, they had only been away for a whole day.
"General Carol, Master Calvin, Mr. Nick, thank you for your hard work this time."
In the commander's tent of the main camp, Lei Xiao, after settling the seriously injured warriors, Jasmine, and the brand new alchemical puppets in the Ice Stone City, nodded to them and said, "I will upgrade you to the fifth level as soon as possible. Keep that as well. You can only use it at a critical moment. I leave this to you."
What Lei Xiao was talking about was the magic stone weapon, and the critical moment was when encountering "Eclipse". For the three people who had experienced the defense of Guanwang City with Lei Xiao, they understood everything.
It is worth mentioning that when upgrading the reserves of Watch City, Lei Xiao also obtained a lot of new permanent enhancement potions, which are enough to further enhance the overall strength of the human race.
Among them, not to mention those below level four, there are even 10 level five permanent strength-enhancing potions, all of which allowed Lei Xiao to reach level six.
This undoubtedly means that Lei Xiao can not only easily promote Carol and others to the fifth level, but also allow Nanxing, Nanyue, Ye Cang and other fifth-level peak subordinates to enter the sixth level.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
The three of them knelt down and saluted, speaking in unison with reverence on their faces.
After experiencing the events in Guanwang City, the three people who already had great respect for Lei Xiao reached their peak.
"Everyone, get up. You will all be the most solid force of the human race."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and was about to leave the tent.
But the three of them did not stand up, but instead prostrated themselves on the ground. Carolsa's angry face showed an obvious desire, and she asked Lei Xiao, "Your Majesty, we are willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty like Your Excellency Nanxing Nanyue did, and we are willing to sacrifice our lives for Your Majesty. Please grant us your wish!"
After Carol finished speaking, Calvin and Old Nick also nodded quickly, both with an extremely eager look, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please give us a recruitment order!"
"That's good. You have assisted me before, and you are all pillars of the human race."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, turned his palm gently and took out the recruitment order.
After being able to receive a third-level recruitment order, it will undoubtedly become easier to subdue subordinates below the fourth level.
After successfully subduing the three people one by one, Lei Xiao gave them some more instructions and then left the camp and returned to Bingshi City.
The next most important thing, of course, is to go to Glowing City and hand the container over to Fei'er.
It didn't take long before Lei Xiao stepped into the ruins of Fei'er Palace located deep in the main hall of the Temple of Light. Although the magnificent main hall remained unchanged, the ancient ruins hidden deep inside surprised Lei Xiao a little.
The place has already been completely renovated, with brightly colored magical flowers everywhere. Even the walls have been repainted, far less mottled than at the beginning, and there is a faint smell of paint in the air.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
Fei'er appeared in front of Lei Xiao, holding a paint bucket and several brushes floating around in the purple magic light.
"Your Highness, I hope you are well."
Seeing that Fei'er's petite body was stained with a lot of paint on her purple robe, Lei Xiao smiled slightly.
Compared with Jasmine, who is already short, Fei'er's figure is even more petite. This is no wonder. After all, according to Fei'er's own account, she has a quarter of flower fairy bloodline.
However, seeing Fei'er so free, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a little envious.
If there hadn't been the Cataclysm and the competition with other alien lords, perhaps he could really enjoy life with Ariel just like in the fantasy.
"Your Majesty, please do not envy me. After all, I can only stay in this corner."
Fei'er keenly sensed Lei Xiao's thoughts. After looking him up and down, she said in amazement, "Your Majesty is always impressive. You have successfully entered the threshold of a double-level sixth-level expert. This is not something that everyone can do."
After that, Fei'er raised her eyebrows again and asked, "Why? Your Majesty, who is gifted with extraordinary talents, what do you need me to solve?"
"Your Highness the Princess has helped me enough times. This time it's my turn to repay Your Highness the Princess."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, then turned over his palm and handed the silver chain pendant that served as a container to Fei'er.
"This, this thing is..."
Feeling the energy fluctuations emanating from the light blue gem inlaid in the pendant, Fei'er was stunned, her starry eyes full of surprise, and she didn't even notice that the paint bucket in her hand had spilled onto the ground.
As she had seen a lot in the Silver Moon Era, she immediately realized that this was a very high-quality container!
Fei'er suppressed her excitement and asked Lei Xiao in surprise, "Your Majesty, where did you get this?"
"It's a long story. I once promised Your Highness the Princess that I would not let you be trapped in this corner. It seems that I have kept my promise."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and handed the pendant to the other person's hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering all this. I am really flattered. I will not be polite to Your Majesty then!"
Fei'er smiled, her fair face full of impatience as she said, "Your Majesty, please wait for me for a moment!"
After saying that, Fei'er blinked her starry eyes at Lei Xiao, then her figure flashed and disappeared into the depths of the corridor.
Lei Xiao just found a chair and sat down. He took advantage of his free time to deploy the task of destroying the "Eclipse" and described in detail the group's experience in Guanwang City to the other subordinates who stayed behind.
During this process, Lei Xiao also learned about the situation in our territory when he was away. Fortunately, everything was normal and there was no trouble.
Just when Lei Xiao had just finished everything, a dazzling purple light flashed by, and a figure with a majestic aura comparable to Jasmine appeared in front of him. (End of this chapter)
