Chapter 1401: Steps into the Depths
Somewhere in the dim and damp cabin area, a team of strong men were advancing rapidly and silently into the depths of the cabin, leaving only a gust of wind to blow away the dust on the cabin floor.
Like Lei Xiao, they did not use magic light balls for lighting, but chose night vision. An old magician in the team waved his staff from time to time to cast night vision spells for other people around him to ensure that the enhancement effect was always in the best condition.
Judging from the priest-like robe inlaid with gold edges that he was wearing, he was obviously a powerful sacred being who exuded a vast aura.
At the front of the team was a sturdy man who was leading the team. He looked to be in his early thirties, with sword-like eyebrows, a resolute face, and was wearing a suit of chain mail, exuding an extremely impressive sixth-level aura.
At this moment, if there were other lords present, they would discover that this sixth-order strongman with tremendous strength was actually also a lord from another world.
This is indeed the case. This powerful lord is named Ye Feng, also a lord of Daxia, but he did not land on the same plate as Lei Xiao.
Possessing an outstanding combat talent, he had just undergone a transformation and advanced to the sixth level not long ago.
In addition, this team of strong men is quite special. In fact, there is another lord, that is Ye Feng’s sister Ye Qing.
The difference with Su Ru and Su Mo is that, at the beginning, the Ye brothers and sisters did not land in the same area, but were located at the two ends of the human territory. Relying on their respective outstanding combat talents, they overcame all obstacles along the way and were finally able to meet each other.
"Brother, I always have a bad feeling. This so-called Lord Arena is too abrupt."
In the center of the fast-moving team, a young female lord with fair skin and covered in a loose robe frowned and spoke through the magic communication.
Due to the strong energy shield and energy barrier on his body, the sound hardly rang in the outside world, but only reached Ye Feng's ears.
This person's identity is naturally self-evident, it is Ye Qing.
Unlike Ye Feng who has physical combat talent, Ye Qing awakened a magical combat talent, and a thunder attribute which is extremely rare and known for its strong attack power.
It is also because of the blessing of thunder magic that Ye Qing, who is growing extremely fast, can be said to be invincible in the human territory. Although he has not yet stepped into the sixth level threshold, he has also reached the level of half a step to the sixth level.
"I feel the same way, but we should make the best of it. There are so many other lords and subjects waiting for us on the other side of the barrier area. We must not stop here."
Ye Feng's resolute face was full of solemnity, and he nodded slightly.
"But we have just entered the Outer Realm not long ago. There are only three sixth-level warriors and two half-step sixth-level warriors in the team of dozens of people. In the cabin area we just passed, there are clearly dozens of corpses of Outer Realm warriors lying. This undoubtedly means that there must be a lord who has received assistance from the Outer Realm forces."
A trace of worry surged on Ye Qing's fair face, and her brows furrowed even more tightly as she said, "And you and I both know that compared with the powerful forces in the outside world, our current combat power is nothing to mention."
After saying that, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh.
They were sailing on their way to the Siren Territory before they inexplicably entered the enchanted area.
In the territory where they are, the Sirens are the foreign force closest to the human territory, and they once had close relations with the human race. If this trip goes smoothly, they will undoubtedly be able to successfully open the door to the outside world.
However, things did not go as planned. At this critical juncture, their ship lost its way. When they came to their senses, they found themselves in a sea barrier area with only an isolated island, and they could not leave at all.
What happened next was similar to what Lei Xiao encountered, except that there were only a few sixth-level sea monsters roaming around them, and the vast majority were at the fifth level.
"Sister, you are encouraging others and destroying your own prestige again."
Ye Feng curled his lips helplessly and said, "Haven't we been through this all the way? Every time we were on the verge of death, we were almost dead."
"But this time is much more dangerous than before. We don't have any way to retreat, and we can't command the army to overcome the strong with the soft. Once we encounter other lords, they will never let us go."
Ye Qing also curled her lips at the same time, subconsciously looking at the storage ring on her finger and said: "Don't forget that the goal of all lords is to seize treasures, which not only includes the final treasure, but also includes other lords from other worlds."
After hearing Ye Qing's words, Ye Feng was speechless for a moment.
My sister was right. When passing by the lord's battlefield just now, the victor left without leaving any trace.
Thinking of the lord's body being torn into pieces just now, Ye Feng took a deep breath slowly.
Fortunately, they did not lead an entire fleet this time, but only a warship and a supply ship, all of which were hidden in a hidden area and have not been discovered by other lords yet.
In other words, they didn't need to worry about the magic artillery fire that was still going on outside, they just had to focus on what was in front of them, and that was their only consolation.
"Brother, how about we find a hidden place and lie dormant? It's better than fighting against those powerful lords."
Ye Qing's eyes lit up and she suggested.
"I have considered your idea a long time ago, but don't forget the rule that only the lord who seizes the treasure can successfully leave and decide the fate of other surviving lords. Do you think the winner will let us go? In the end, we will still be left here, and nothing good will happen. We will almost certainly die."
Ye Feng shook his head decisively and denied it: "So it's better to give it a try, maybe you can still catch a glimmer of hope."
"But what if the winner lets us go?"
Ye Qing's starry eyes also dimmed and she murmured.
"Sister, you don't think there are other Daxia lords here, do you?"
Ye Feng smiled helplessly, and then said: "Besides, those jackals, tigers and leopards will never let us go."
"But what if he is there? He must be more powerful than us!"
Ye Qing still didn't give up and continued to ask.
"Are you talking about Boss Lei Xiao?"
Ye Feng reacted quickly, shook his head slightly and said: "Don't forget the information given by the prompt just now. There is more than one Lord Arena, and many matches have been held before us. Maybe there are many matches going on at the same time as us. It is unlikely that we will run into that big guy."
In fact, Ye Feng absolutely did not believe that he would meet Lei Xiao, and the reason why he spoke the last words vaguely was just to take care of his sister's feelings.
After all, at the very beginning, Ye Qing admired Lei Xiao, the big boss who had won many world firsts, and she even worked hard every day to hone her talent and strength in order to be able to fight alongside Lei Xiao. This was one of her biggest sources of motivation.
However, as time went by, the brother and sister gradually realized that they were not born in the same plate as Lei Xiao, so naturally they could not fight side by side. After all, lords on different plates could not communicate in the chat channel.
Especially when Ye Qing completely confirmed this, her extremely lost expression was still fresh in Ye Feng's memory. Even when they were fighting on the brink of life and death, his sister had never shown such an expression.
But when they thought that Lei Xiao was also moving forward, the brother and sister felt a lot more strength. After all, although they were not in the same place, they were on the same journey as Lei Xiao.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Ye Feng extremely worried, that is, he has not received any news from Boss Lei Xiao for a long time.
After all, as everyone moved forward, after being able to choose whether to broadcast to the world, no lord has made a broadcast since then, including Boss Lei Xiao.
Therefore, Ye Feng naturally could not be sure of Lei Xiao's current situation. He even wondered whether the latter might have accidentally died somewhere.
Of course, although Ye Feng was always worried, he never mentioned it to Ye Qing. It was obvious that he was afraid that his sister would lose the direction of pursuit.
"Sister, if it was Boss Lei Xiao, do you think he would stand still?"
Ye Feng collected his thoughts and said solemnly.
"Of course not. If Boss Lei Xiao was that kind of person, how could he always come out on top and be ahead of everyone else?"
Ye Qing's delicate face also showed a serious expression, and she said decisively: "He will definitely move forward. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will never retreat. No, even if there is no hope at all, he will turn the hope in his heart into reality and hold his head high to greet the arrival of dawn."
"That's right, so we must not stop. Only in this way can we keep up with Boss Lei Xiao's pace."
Ye Feng brought the topic back and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Brother, if you say so, I really can't refute it."
Helplessly, Ye Qing could only hold the staff tightly, and her starry eyes became firmer.
The group walked forward for a while, and suddenly Ye Feng heard the voice of a subordinate who was exploring the way ahead: "Your Excellency, we have found many magic traps in the cabin area ahead. Most of them are level five, and a few are level six. It is obvious that someone used magic scrolls to lay them not long ago."
“Are there any other routes forward around here?”
Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then asked.
"Your Excellency, I have carefully checked it. It is the hub area leading to the deep cabin. There is also a small passage next to it, but there seems to be no aura in it. I am not sure whether there are more sophisticated magic traps deployed there."
The voice of the Pathfinder subordinate soon sounded again, responding.
"Understood. Don't act rashly. Wait for our arrival."
When Ye Feng heard the voice, his expression immediately changed and he informed the other people around him of the news.
It didn't take long before Ye Feng and his sister and a group of more than 50 people arrived at the area mentioned by the scouting subordinates.
In front of them, there was indeed an extremely large cabin area, and next to the cabin area, there was a narrow and long passage, all of which were pitch black, so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
"What do you think?"
After confirming the surrounding environment, Ye Feng asked the powerful men who were accompanying him.
"My king, the path seems to have no defenses at all. I'm afraid it is the most dangerous place. It is also too narrow and not conducive to the deployment of the team."
The sixth-rank old warrior in a priest robe stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully, "So I suggest taking the main road. At least you can see the danger with your own eyes."
After the old strong man finished speaking, the other strong men all nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with the former's opinion.
"Brother, what the old hall master said is right, and I agree with him."
After concentrating and sensing for a while, Ye Qing nodded slightly and said, "We just need to remove the fifth-level magic traps along the way, and then we can continue to move deeper into the cabin."
"In that case, let's get started."
Ye Feng held the spear horizontally in his hand and ordered: "The magic-type strongmen headed by the old hall master are responsible for erasing the magic traps, and the others are on the side to protect and guard. We must not let such means stop us from moving forward!"
Hearing the sound, a group of strong men touched their chests and saluted, and immediately began to act in an orderly manner.
After entering the vast cabin area one after another, the group cooperated closely and moved extremely quickly. The magic traps that were deployed on the ceiling, in the corners, or on the ground, which emitted hostility and dangerous magical fluctuations, soon became ineffective one after another, making the road ahead smoother.
However, just as the group passed the center of the cabin area, the situation suddenly changed.
The old warrior at the front turned around in confusion and reported to Ye Feng: "My king, the magic trap ahead is obviously weaker than before. It seems to be automatically invalidating, as if it is clearing the area."
"Automatically invalidate? How is this possible?"
Hearing the sound, Ye Feng was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted and shouted: "Quickly retreat, the real trap is not these magic traps, but the entire cabin area!"
Before Ye Feng's words fell, sudden and powerful energy waves burst out from all directions. At all the entrances of this area, a large number of black shadows appeared one after another and soon surrounded Ye Feng and others.
"Haha, you just realized it now? It's too late."
A burly male lord with a murderous look on his face walked out from the dense black shadows and said grimly, "Since you can't even see such a trick, then you have no value in existence. I will just have to wipe you out reluctantly."
"After using such a shady trick, you still look so righteous. It's really despicable. Don't think that you can make the Lord of Daxia bow his head like this!"
The staff in Ye Qing's hand was surrounded by purple light, and she snorted coldly.
"Oh? I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."
The burly male lord looked down at Ye Qing with a pair of sunken green eyes, squinting up and down. A lewd smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said with contempt and ridicule: "Lord of Daxia, right? It depends on whether you have the ability to do it."
Listening to the other party's cold voice, Ye Feng's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
He could clearly sense that the opponent in front of him was at least ten times stronger than himself. (End of this chapter)
