Chapter 1327 The Blazing Palace
Because the sudden huge monster was completely hidden in the darkness and fog, it was not until the dwarf elves such as Cornette who were responsible for exploring the way in the front stopped in surprise and dispersed the last part of the fog that its huge body appeared in front of all of us.
It was a giant human-shaped sculpture that was over 30 meters tall, and it looked bizarre under the illumination of hundreds of magic light balls.
Lei Xiao looked intently through the increasingly thin fog. It was a majestic and burly male figure with a huge bald head that was completely green. His eyes were wide open and his forehead was full of blue veins.
The thick beard and the deep lines on his face made him look even more ferocious and terrifying.
Further down, there is a figure with bare upper body, holding a huge battle axe in each hand, and the muscles bulging all over his body like hills are extremely conspicuous.
Looking up at the huge and burly sculpture in front of them, everyone couldn't help but look surprised.
Although this extremely powerful male statue is very large, the carving details are extremely delicate. Even the pores on the rough skin are clearly visible, which can be called a masterpiece of nature.
"Shirtless, holding a battle axe, hairless and with a long beard, and deep battle marks... these features are simply obvious. This is the statue of the Titan God of War!"
The moment Serin saw the statue, she blurted out.
After hearing Serin's voice, everyone's faces were filled with surprise and confusion.
Everyone is familiar with the Titans, also known as the giants. This race that believes in strength and courage once created an extremely glorious civilization in the Silver Moon Era. Many of their powerful men cultivated to become gods and successfully entered the gate of the divine realm, leaving behind amazing legends and epics.
However, with the advent of the Blank Age, the once powerful Titans were eventually annihilated in this forgotten and unknown history, and completely disappeared from the sight of the surviving descendants of all races.
It is said that someone once saw traces of Titans on a seashore somewhere in the Outlands, but whether it is true or not is unknown.
But then again, this is deep in the dragon's lair, so why would there be a statue of the Titans? This is totally unrelated.
In amazement, everyone continued to observe. This giant statue stood at the end of the vast space, with a cave wall behind it. It was obviously a dead end. So where was the way to go forward?
Among all the strong men, only some of our strong men such as Lei Xiao and Hong Ye looked thoughtful.
To others, this statue of the Titan god of war might be extremely rare, but to Lei Xiao and others, it was not the first time they had seen it, and it even seemed somewhat familiar.
Because it is extremely similar to the statue at the end of the Titan Temple that had been explored in the suburbs of Fanyin City at that time, at least 90% similar, even the mottled and ancient traces left by time are exactly the same.
This undoubtedly means that this Titan statue also comes from before the blank age. As for why such a statue appears so abruptly in the depths of the dragon's lair, the answer is very obvious.
“I didn’t expect there would be something misplaced here.”
As Lei Xiao's calm voice sounded, the surprise of our powerful men was alleviated.
“Is it really a misplaced thing?”
Serin and other members of the same tribe also reacted and echoed.
Although they participated in the excavation of this vast space when the dragon's lair was being built, they were driven out by the minions of the culprit before they got here.
Now it seems that the other party may have discovered the misplaced object and did not allow them to continue participating in order to conceal their tracks.
"But your Majesty, this is obviously not the place for the coronation, and there is no trace of the culprit and his loyal minions. So where is the way forward?"
While her mind suddenly became clear, a hint of confusion appeared on Serin's fair face, and she asked Lei Xiao.
"The answer is simple."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and then nodded to Hong Ye. For Lei Xiao and others who had encountered similar situations before, this was obviously not a problem.
"As you command, Lord."
Hong Ye immediately understood what he meant and first activated a sixth-level detection scroll. After making sure there were no magic traps ahead, he flew to the feet of the giant statue of the god of war.
"They seem to be so in sync, they must have experienced many thrilling adventures together, right? But it's nothing special. If it were me, I would definitely be able to assist His Majesty the Human!"
Serin looked at Hongye's back, feeling mixed emotions, and followed him with her people.
When she got closer, Serin noticed it with her starry eyes blinking.
Hong Ye was standing at the foot of the statue of the God of War, carefully examining something. Compared to the foot of the statue that was as big as a hill, it looked quite small.
"The human form is indeed quite inconvenient, but being able to stand beside His Majesty is the only benefit. No wonder Hong Ye looks so used to it, so comfortable in the human form, even comparable to human women."
While Serin was making up her mind to adapt to the human form that she was not used to as soon as possible, she also noticed further.
Hong Ye was seen standing at the position where the giant boot heel was adjacent to the ground, where there was an exquisitely engraved wavy texture. As her slender fingertips lightly tapped, a faint fluorescence emanated.
At the moment the fluorescence flashed, a small and ancient magic circle emerged, located exactly in the middle of the wavy texture, very much like a part of the pattern.
"There is actually a secret magic mechanism hidden here."
Just as Serin opened her starry eyes and thought of this, Hong Ye's white fingers lightly touched the surface of the ancient magic circle again.
Along with a burst of energy fluctuations, dozens of flame-colored magic circles of varying sizes suddenly unfolded around Hong Ye's slender figure.
At a glance, these large and small magic arrays were like magic gears and bearings, instantly forming an amazingly precise large-scale magic machine. With the slight movement of Hong Ye's fingertips, they began to operate simultaneously, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
On the surface of the magic circles that were running at high speed, a large number of strange and complicated magic symbols were shining, appearing quickly or disappearing in an instant, making people feel dizzy.
After seeing this scene, all our powerful warriors couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Although Hong Ye had not yet reached the sixth level, his speed in cracking the magic mechanism was extremely astonishing.
"Yes, it seems that after the strength has increased, the cracking speed has also increased a lot."
Lei Xiao thought so and began to command our strong men to redeploy their troops and prepare to move forward.
As for Serin, who was standing not far from Hongye, she slightly opened her red lips with an expression of disbelief on her face.
As she has always been following in Hong Ye's footsteps, she naturally has some accomplishments in cracking magic mechanisms. Although she feels inferior to Bing Lao's previous display of skills, in her heart, she can at least compete with Hong Ye.
However, judging from the current situation, she probably can't even catch up with half of Hong Ye's speed, and they are not on the same level at all.
"I didn't expect this guy to be so fast. Could it be that he won the favor of the human emperor just because of this? Although I am not as good as you in this aspect, I am always better than you in some ways!"
Serin frowned and thought for a long time. She found that no matter from which point of view, she seemed to be inferior to Hong Ye, even in strength.
She is now at level five, six stars. Although Hong Ye has been trapped underground for more than six hundred years and unable to practice, he has reached level five, seven stars under Lei Xiao's training.
After all, the best place for a dragon to practice is in a place where the fire-attributed veins are abundant, and it will emit special energy fluctuations, which can be easily detected by its own kind. In order to avoid being hunted down, Hong Ye can only sleep in the hidden barrier, and naturally he cannot practice.
After discovering that she was indeed inferior to Hong Ye, the extremely shocked Serin folded her arms. Her eyes inadvertently fell on her towering chest, and suddenly her starry eyes lit up.
That’s right, at least in terms of feminine charm, I am still much better than that iceberg dragon!
Just as Serin was thinking this, accompanied by a series of "clicks" similar to unlocking a lock, the blue magic circle engraved on the giant boots of the God of War suddenly glowed brightly.
Then it quickly broke away from the surface of the giant boots, began to float in the air, constantly rotating and expanding. In the blink of an eye, when the blue magic circle fell back to its original place, a dull "rumbling" friction sound was heard.
The entire leg of the giant war god statue was slowly raised, and in its original position, a giant bluestone door over 10 meters high was revealed.
“It turns out that the way forward is here!”
Seeing this, everyone on our side was delighted and tightened their weapons.
As long as you pass through this door, you will undoubtedly be close to the culprit.
"Hongye, open the door."
Seeing that the formation of our strong men had been restored to strict order, Lei Xiao immediately gave the order.
After receiving Lei Xiao's instructions, Hong Ye placed his palm flat on the door without any hesitation. With a surge of energy, the door slowly opened.
The dull friction sound of the huge door opening stirred up the dust deep in the dragon's lair, and a stream of hot air rushed out.
Feeling the temperature rising rapidly, the space inside the door soon appeared in front of our group.
There was no fog inside the giant gate. The scene was filled with deep darkness and giant stone pillars were faintly visible, but it was not completely invisible.
As the door opened further, slowly flowing flame trails in the distance came into the eyes of all of us, extremely eye-catching in the darkness.
"My Lord, that is magma rich in fire magic particles. It seems that we are indeed very close to the place of coronation!"
Hong Ye touched his chest and saluted, then reported to Lei Xiao.
"Soldiers everywhere are still fighting hard. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we must not waste a single minute."
Lei Xiao waved his hand and ordered, "Go forward."
Following Lei Xiao's order, everyone became fully alert and rushed towards the door, and soon all entered.
Standing in a completely new space, Lei Xiao looked around as his five senses and perception were much better than when he explored the Titan temple.
There are many huge stone pillars engraved with exquisite patterns here, covering a very large area. Whether from the familiar textures or the huge scale that makes people awe, it is a Titan building.
In addition, through the reflection of the magic light ball and the night vision effect of the Star Eye, Lei Xiao noticed further.
The walls on both sides are also engraved with exquisite reliefs, depicting the Titans' war scenes, monster hunting scenes, and sacrificial ceremony scenes. They are bloody and fanatical, and look very lifelike.
However, the ancient atmosphere, the hot air, and the slowly flowing magma deep in the water still make people feel awe-inspiring and they dare not be careless at all.
"My Lord, judging from the appearance, this should be a building that is no less important than the Titan Temple."
Hong Ye nodded to Lei Xiao and continued to report: "If I am not mistaken, this should be a palace of the Titans. Even if it is not the king's palace, it should be the standard of a prince or other royal family."
As soon as Hong Ye finished speaking, the giant bluestone door behind the group suddenly closed. The culprit's voice sounded again, saying with a hint of sarcasm and disdain: "Ants, welcome to my palace. I never thought you could make it this far. It's really surprising, but unfortunately, you are going to die soon."
"Your palace? How shameless!"
Serin snorted coldly and said sternly: "You are just a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, what is there to praise about you?"
"So what? I discovered this palace, so it naturally belongs to me. Moreover, this is the place where the fire magic veins are most active. It is simply the perfect place for the coronation!"
The culprit's voice became more playful, and he sneered: "The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is the truth. You are just a stray dog. You are not qualified to teach me. Your steps will stop here. This is where you will die!"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao's face remained calm. While directing the team to continue moving forward, he said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense here. If we only talk about bluffing, I'm afraid there are really few dragons in the dragon clan that can surpass you."
"Boy, if you want to be tough, now's the time to do it."
The culprit's voice was filled with murderous intent, and he said grimly: "You dare to challenge the majesty of the dragon clan. You will eventually pay the price for your ignorance, because you don't know what you are facing."
"For the survival of the human race, for hope not to be shattered, and for the friends who are walking with the human race, no matter what I face, I will not hesitate. This is my mission, and also my destiny."
The Rolandel in Lei Xiao's hand was shining and his voice was firm.
"Then enjoy your last moments."
The culprit didn't say anything else, just sneered and said nothing more.
And in the depths of the hall, unexpected giant shadows began to stir.
