Chapter 1469: Mutation and Collapse
Without any warning, just as Lei Xiao opened his mouth, the giant city gate that was originally open suddenly closed, and another huge barrier flashing with a strange white light rose up, covering the entire giant city.
"Your Majesty, it's the imprisonment barrier that blocked the exit of the dungeon!"
Fleming's eyes were solemn, and he quickly reported to Lei Xiao.
"It seems that the opponent wants to trap us here to death."
After observing the surroundings, Xina frowned and said, "No wonder they gave up the city gate so easily. It was really a good plan."
"Whatever, I only have one goal, and that is to completely wipe out these bastards from here!"
Loris looked at the huge black fog column rising in the distance and snorted coldly, "This just gives me time to stop thinking about other things!"
"That being said, I'm afraid the other party may have other plans for doing this."
Lei Xiao took over the conversation, nodded to everyone and said: "There is no time to lose, let's start the action immediately."
After saying that, Lei Xiao first instructed Ellie and others to be prepared to detect space traps, and then he took the brunt of the attack and led the vanguard warriors straight into the depths of the giant city.
The others also followed Lei Xiao's footsteps, leaving only those Broken Valley Alliance soldiers whose strength had not yet reached the fifth level to guard the city gate and inform other Broken Valley Alliance warriors who were fighting outside the city, including Old Gary, of the situation.
As the city gate and wall behind them got farther and farther away, Lei Xiao and his group moved faster and faster.
With the real-time detection by Ellie and other space masters, all the surrounding space magic traps were revealed. They were still densely packed, covering every corner within sight.
In the cracks of these twisted spaces, although some places are relatively narrow and can only be passed by one person, after all, we are all strong men who have experienced many battles, and all of us are above level five in strength. We quickly adapted to this thorny road and did not fall into the trap again.
Even so, everyone still frowned and their faces became more solemn.
Along the way, in addition to the deadly space traps that were intricately intertwined, the surrounding scenery was even more shocking.
Walking on the cracked and rigid gray ground, one can occasionally see pieces of bones floating back and forth in the blood-red river, as well as hills of white accumulations. As for what they are made of, the colors tell it all.
In the air, the pungent smell of blood and the stench of decay became more and more intense. Even with the double barriers of energy barriers and energy shields, plus a series of buffs with purification effects, Lei Xiao still felt his stomach churning and acid raging in his throat.
In addition, there was an indescribable sense of death in the air, filled with despair, powerlessness and fear.
In such a suffocating scene, even experienced warriors like Loris and Sina remained silent, not knowing what to say.
As for the strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance, their faces were filled with anger and they were holding their weapons tightly.
This used to be their place of refuge and livelihood, but now it has become so shocking. How can they not be angry?
"Your Majesty, we are getting closer and closer to the depths of the huge city where black miasma is constantly emitting!"
Beside Lei Xiao, Joniel's old eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he spoke to the former.
As one of the sixth-rank warriors in the human race's territory, and also as a dragon-slayer warrior in the human race's territory, Joniel clearly understood that if these liches were not wiped out, the human race's territory would eventually turn into such a purgatory scene, and everything would be destroyed.
Not only Joniel, but also Gray Old Man, Fleming, and Qiduo around him had the same expression.
If it were before, facing such a powerful enemy, they would have only been left with despair, but now, with the guidance of His Majesty, they will have a chance to fight for a glimmer of hope!
After hearing Joniel's words, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked into the depths of the giant city.
I saw that the huge black column of smoke that was originally rising into the sky had indeed become a little bigger, and the scene that was directly connected with the sky and the earth was even more shocking.
Under the giant black pillar, there appeared a huge castle that was also dark white. It stood there like a sitting giant skeleton, full of dangerous and mysterious atmosphere. It was obviously the final lair of the lich.
"Be very alert. The other party may have other tricks up their sleeves and won't let us get there smoothly."
Lei Xiao calmed his mind and nodded to the strong men around him.
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, something strange happened again.
All that was heard was Old Susan's sharp and hoarse voice, like the sound of a chicken being slaughtered, suddenly rang out behind him: "Chief, Your Majesty the Human Race, the strong men around me suddenly disappeared from my side!"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao immediately stopped and looked behind him.
As expected, there was no one around Old Susan, and there was obviously a big gap. There should be at least hundreds of water fairies and other powerful people there.
But before Lei Xiao could react, he saw the space around Old Susan shaking, and she disappeared in an instant, as if she had never appeared.
"What's going on..."
Seeing this, Loris opened his lion eyes wide, and disappeared instantly with Thomas and others beside him, leaving only the distorted space slowly recovering.
Then, this strange scene of disappearing out of thin air spread out like dominoes. Those strong men on our side who had just stopped disappeared one after another on the spot before they could figure out what was happening, making our originally mighty team suddenly empty.
"Your Majesty, this is a way to disrupt space!"
Ellie was the first to react. She flew towards Lei Xiao and said, "If we regard the space we are in as a complete puzzle, then the other party has disrupted the puzzle, and our soldiers standing on the puzzle will naturally be swapped!"
"So, they didn't disappear, but were randomly teleported to some other place?"
Lei Xiao reacted immediately and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The reason why our strong men were able to go all the way here is because of the space detection spells of Ellie and others, which accurately marked the locations of the surrounding space traps.
In this situation, once our strong men scatter throughout the huge city, the result can be imagined. Even taking a step may lead to falling into a fatal trap.
"That's right, Your Majesty..."
Before Ellie could finish her words, she also disappeared in front of Lei Xiao, and no one knew where she was teleported to.
At the same time, Joniel, Gray Old, Fleming, Bing Old, Xina, subordinates, and the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance who were beside Lei Xiao soon disappeared one after another, leaving Lei Xiao's surroundings empty.
The next second, Lei Xiao felt an irresistible strange gust of wind rising from the soles of his feet, and the familiar feeling of lightness during teleportation flooded into his mind.
However, this time, Lei Xiao obviously had no intention of feeling the wonderful feeling of brief weightlessness. When his feet felt solid again, Lei Xiao found that he had come to a strange and special space alone.
Looking around, this is a strange space made up of a special kind of crystals, filled with crystals of all sizes, not only around, but also on the ceiling and the ground, which is extremely dazzling.
Each crystal reflected a part of the scene inside the huge white city, but there was no connection between them. On the surface of some crystals, Lei Xiao even saw some of our strong men standing at a loss.
Of course, not only our strong men were reflected, but even Lei Xiao himself was sweating profusely and walking cautiously on the dazzling crystal surface.
Every time Lei Xiao's combat boots landed on the ground, ripples similar to water waves would be stirred up on the surface of the crystal, making it even more confusing and not knowing where they were.
"My Lord, this is a space crack!"
Xiao Jing's slender figure appeared and she nodded heavily at Lei Xiao.
"So, we are not in the real space, but in the gap between the real space and the void space?"
Lei Xiao frowned and asked immediately.
"That's right, Lord. Although it is extremely rare to be randomly teleported here, it is not impossible."
Xiao Jing carefully protected Lei Xiao and responded, "The other party really did everything they could to come up with such a sinister method!"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. As the saying goes, all is fair in war. The most urgent task is to find a way to return to the real space."
After Lei Xiao tried to use telepathy but it didn't work, he asked Xiao Jing, "Can we leave here?"
Lei Xiao clearly understood that the concealment and shadow-hiding techniques used by Xiaojing were essentially entering the cracks in space, which meant that Xiaojing possessed a certain ability to fight against powerful space masters.
"My Lord, I will try it right away!"
Xiao Jing closed her eyes and concentrated, and a wave of energy surged out from her body, causing the entire strange space to distort slightly.
However, it didn't take long before the distorted space returned to normal, but Xiao Jing became breathless, with her chest heaving up and down.
"My Lord, the opponent's power is too strong. I am unable to break through the opponent's space barrier, even if this space barrier was formed unintentionally."
After a while, Xiao Jing finally opened her starry eyes, shook her head helplessly at Lei Xiao and said, "I'm sorry, Lord, I can't help you."
"It doesn't matter, we'll think of another way."
Lei Xiao touched Xiaojing's head and refocused his attention on the surrounding scene.
While Xiao Jing was concentrating on casting the spell, Lei Xiao also tried to use all types of teleportation scrolls, but they all had no effect.
After observing for a while, Lei Xiao nodded to Xiao Jing and said, "Perhaps the space barrier here is thick. Let's look around to see if there are other weaker places."
After saying that, Lei Xiao took Xiao Jing and took a step forward, heading towards the depths of the space crack.
But not long after the two of them walked away, a crisp sound similar to the sound of a barrier being broken suddenly sounded from behind them.
Lei Xiao was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. He found that the crystalline walls gradually moving away behind him were shattering one after another, and some even disappeared directly, revealing a bottomless dark void.
Where there was a gap in the void, a violent gust of wind swept in and continued to wreak havoc around Lei Xiao and the other man.
Moreover, Lei Xiao felt a huge suction force entangling him, like an invisible big hand, dragging him towards the gap in nothingness.
"Not good, Lord, this space gap is collapsing!"
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "If we are dragged into that void gap, we will be crushed directly by the manic space energy particles!"
"Get into my arms!"
Lei Xiao took Xiao Jing, who had turned into the [God's Stone], into his pocket and shot towards the other end.
Although the suction force was extremely amazing, enough to instantly drag a fifth-level dragon into nothingness, Lei Xiao was a double-level sixth-level strongman after all, and still possessed a considerable degree of strength to resist the suction.
As Lei Xiao burst out, the area of the broken crystal walls became larger and larger, like a broken road, constantly collapsing at a rapid speed behind Lei Xiao, which was extremely thrilling.
"Xiao Jing, these barrier walls should be extremely weak now, right? Can we return to the real space before falling into nothingness?"
Lei Xiao, with purple light surging all around him, was running at full speed, galloping forward while communicating mentally with the stone elf in his arms.
"My Lord, it is indeed possible to return, but the speed at which this space crack collapses is too fast, and I don't have time to cast a spell!"
Xiao Jing responded in a hurried voice: "Unless the Lord can create enough distance! Otherwise, we will be covered by nothingness before I finish casting the spell!"
"I see. Then I'll try my best!"
Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and swallowed several magic potions that increased his movement speed in an attempt to continue to speed up.
However, with the rapid collapse of space, the suction generated in the void became stronger and stronger. As a result, Lei Xiao not only failed to speed up, but became more and more unable to cope with the situation.
For a moment, it seemed as if countless invisible hands were tightly grabbing Lei Xiao's body, arms, legs, and even neck, and dragging him into the nothingness behind him, making it almost difficult to breathe.
In this way, even if Lei Xiao tried his best to mobilize the power of God, he could barely maintain his pace of advancement, but the speed of space collapse was getting faster and faster.
Lei Xiao even felt that the ground he had just stepped on immediately shattered and instantly turned into part of nothingness. If he stepped on empty air, the result would be unimaginable.
Just as Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and struggled forward, the crystal space in front of him, which had been unchanged, showed an unexpected scene. (End of this chapter)
