Chapter 1316 Unexpected Changes
In the dense dragon mirage that had been partially dispersed, our strong men were advancing silently under the command of Lei Xiao, moving quickly towards the entrance of the dragon's nest not far away.
Lei Xiao looked at the figures of our strong men flying past and nodded thoughtfully.
Just now, he had instructed Jonil and other sixth-level warriors with strong perception to use dozens of sixth-level detection scrolls to conduct scattered investigations, but they did not find any magic traps or other suspicious traces near the entrance of the nest.
In addition, after hundreds of years of research on dragon mirages by the dwarf elves, he already knew about it.
Perhaps because they believed that the absolute defense barrier would not be broken, or perhaps because of arrogance, the dragons did not deploy any sentinels at the entrance of their lair. In addition, the energy particles in the dragon mirage were extremely chaotic, so even if the other party deployed a detection barrier, it would not be able to play its due role.
This means that as long as we can break the opponent's absolute defense barrier in one fell swoop according to the original plan, we can successfully break into the opponent's lair. Only then will the battle begin, and it will be a real test for us.
Soon, a huge cave entrance with a diameter of 30 meters appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"It's worthy of being called a dragon's lair. I've never seen such a big hole before."
Lei Xiao looked up at the huge cave that was more than ten stories high and took a deep breath.
The surface of the cave entrance was seen flickering with rich magical light from time to time, faintly emitting an unshakable vast aura. It was indeed covered with an extremely thick absolute defense barrier.
In front of Lei Xiao, 20 sixth-level alchemical puppets of the dwarfs including Chris and Shult, 20 sixth-level treemen, 10 sixth-level wood elves, as well as Joniel and Gray Old Man have all stood still, ready to launch a crucial attack.
Behind the group of sixth-level warriors, there are hundreds of fifth-level warriors standing by, ready to provide support at any time.
As for those further back, they are ordinary soldiers below rank four.
Among them, many wood goblin legions cooperated with the dwarf elf legions that opened up the road and had begun to approach the other two nest entrances, ready to move in and establish a defense line at any time.
After all, according to the dwarfs' investigation, the entrances to the three nests are all covered by the same absolute defense barrier. As long as one can be broken, the other two will naturally collapse.
At a glance, one could see giant square formations in neat rows, spread out on this huge platform on the top of the mountain. Wumeng Peak was so vast, yet there was no sign of crowding at all.
"My Lord, something is wrong."
Just as our strong men were taking their positions and preparing to attack, Xiao Jie beside Lei Xiao looked at the entrance to the dragon's lair which was becoming clearer and clearer in front of them, and suddenly blurted out.
"what happened?"
Hearing the voice, not only Lei Xiao's expression suddenly became stern, but Broy and Chris around him also looked over with nervous expressions.
"My Lord, I sense that a hidden and huge imprisonment barrier is quietly activating!"
Xiaojie's fair face was full of panic, and she quickly added: "What should we do?"
"Xiao Jie, activate "Lord's Protection" immediately."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate at all and decisively ordered: "Shrink the formation, there must be traps around us!"
The "Lord's Protection" that Lei Xiao mentioned is naturally Xiao Jie's exclusive skill, and it is also an absolute defensive barrier that can be set up in an instant.
As Lei Xiao's voice fell, colorful light flashed around Xiao Jie, and a strong energy wave surged out from Xiao Jie's slender body.
Wherever the energy fluctuated, exquisite and mysterious magic circles instantly appeared on the ground, and then connected to each other, spinning at a high speed until they reached the edge of our camp.
The next second, a giant translucent magic barrier with glittering light rose rapidly from all directions of the edge of our camp at the same time, gradually forming a standard huge semicircle in the air, which looked extremely spectacular.
Although our soldiers are numerous, Xiaojie's secret method of formation is of giant city level, which is large enough to protect a giant city like a place favored by God, so covering the entire camp is no problem.
"All the powerful magicians should first move into the energy supply array, which are the ones emitting golden light on the ground..."
Since all this happened in a flash, this time, before Lei Xiao had even finished his words, the change had already occurred.
Just when the semicircular absolute defense barrier formed by Xiao Jie in the sky was about to close, a larger black barrier emerged from thin air and completely covered the absolute defense barrier. Then, it shrank rapidly like a landslide or tsunami, pressing down on our absolute defense barrier which had not yet been stabilized from all directions!
Bang!
The muffled sound of the two barriers colliding violently was heard. Since the absolute defense barrier cast by Xiao Jie had not had time to close, it was in an extremely unstable state. In addition, our strong men had not yet found the energy supply array to start supplying magic power to the barrier.
Therefore, the two magic barriers of the enemy and us were in a stalemate for only a moment, and then there was a crackling sound of glass breaking, and our absolute defense barrier shattered. All the magic circles on the ground also disappeared, making Xiao Jie feel as if she had been hit hard, and she sat down on the ground with a pale face.
Seeing this scene, just as Hong Ye was about to help Xiao Jie up subconsciously, the black magic barrier did not stop, but continued to shrink inward.
In the blink of an eye, a heavy pressure like a mountain falling down from the sky, which caught our soldiers off guard and knocked them to the ground one after another, making them unable to move at all.
Our camp collapsed in an instant, especially the wood elves floating in the air, almost all of them fell heavily, with their two pairs of wings pressed tightly to the ground, and they could only whimper weakly.
"Well……"
Listening to the painful groans coming from all around him, Lei Xiao tried his best to mobilize the power of God, and only then was he able to straighten his body.
Looking around, not only the black mass of soldiers in the rear, but even our fifth-level strongmen who were responsible for support were almost all suppressed to the ground. Only a group of sixth-level strongmen were still standing around. However, judging from the obviously slow movements of the strongmen, they were obviously greatly affected.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed a confinement barrier!"
Jonil subconsciously protected Lei Xiao, his pale old face full of solemnity, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this old minister will protect you until his death!"
After Joniel finished speaking, Gray Old Man also took a step forward and used his body to block Lei Xiao.
"Everyone, please be careful. This sixth-level confinement barrier is incredibly strong. It must have taken at least three or four hundred years to build and perfect. It even used a large amount of ultra-high-quality magic crystals to achieve this level."
Shuerte's hoarse voice also revealed an irrepressible solemnity as he spoke, "It seems that these dragons are not as easy on the enemy as we thought."
After saying that, Shult in human form tried to transform back into tree form, but failed. Even though he was a level six three star, he could hardly move under the heavy pressure, let alone trying to break the shackles of the barrier.
"I'm sorry everyone, it's because we didn't detect any information about the confinement barrier in the dragon mirage."
Broy, who was only at the level of a fifth-order senior warrior, couldn't stand up at all. He was forced to cling to the ground with a painful look on his face and said, "It's us who have caused trouble for you all."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to apologize. Since the other party is so deliberate, they will definitely take corresponding confidentiality measures."
Lei Xiao originally wanted to wave his hand to signal Broy not to blame himself, but in the end he was unable to make the corresponding move.
It has to be said that even though Lei Xiao had experienced the baptism of the confinement barrier several times, this feeling of extreme pressure as if he was carrying a mountain on his back still made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"But we have used so many detection scrolls and perception spells, why haven't we discovered any clues about this imprisonment barrier?"
Chris's white forehead was covered with sweat. While trying to break free, she spoke with difficulty: "This is simply unbelievable."
As a wood fairy with a slender body, she was obviously under greater pressure. Although she could barely stand, her originally flowing wings were tightly attached to her body, which undoubtedly greatly restrained her.
"I'm afraid the other party used the dragon mirage to hide the energy fluctuations of the imprisonment barrier, which made it impossible for us to detect it."
Cornet's situation was almost the same as Broy's. He was also covered in dust and dirt, and was forced to stay close to the ground. He said, "In other words, this is probably a special imprisonment barrier built specifically to rely on the dragon mirage, in order to hide its own existence!"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more, which undoubtedly meant that the other party had been planning this for a long time.
The current situation is even more obvious. If we don't find a way to break the confinement barrier as soon as possible, I'm afraid our entire army will be wiped out.
After all, through my own observations, I have learned that the strength of this confinement barrier is astonishing. Our group of sixth-level warriors can hardly even approach the edge of the barrier and chant spells, let alone destroy it.
At least in the short term, our strong men who are unable to adapt to the pressure of the barrier will find it difficult to make an effective response, and the opponent will definitely not give us time to adapt.
Just as Lei Xiao figured out the current situation and tried his best to calm his mind and think of countermeasures in his mind, at the edge of the confinement barrier in front of him, ten huge monsters had already emerged, and pairs of golden vertical pupils filled with murderous aura were looming in the mist.
The sturdy body, like a moving high-rise building, has giant wing membranes, high-raised horns, jaws full of sharp teeth, and thick, shiny fiery red scales all over the body, which are as indestructible as armor.
These obvious features all reveal the other party's identity: a group of flame-colored dragons filled with murderous intent.
"Tree people, dwarves, wood elves, and even ant-like humans, it seems that you have figured out the current situation."
The red dragon in the lead was huge in size, and slowly appeared at the edge of the barrier.
He first confirmed that all of our members were imprisoned, and then he said grimly: "We were originally planning to wait until the ceremony was over before dealing with you, but we didn't expect you to come to our door. You are really bold."
The leading red dragon's voice became more and more teasing, and it swept over the bodies of our allies such as the tree people one by one, and said with more and more hostility: "It seems that the three raging flames five hundred years ago did not teach you a lesson. Don't worry, this time you will be judged by the flames and eventually turned into ashes."
"Don't dream, this time we will make you taste the taste of failure!"
Broy gritted his teeth, and even though the crown had fallen to the ground, he still responded in a fierce voice with an angry look on his face.
After Broy finished speaking, Shult and Chris also echoed him, looking like they would never give in.
"It's ridiculous. The anger of the weak is nothing but a joke in the eyes of the strong."
The leading red dragon did not continue to make noise, but looked at Lei Xiao again and snorted coldly: "As for the tiny ants, you will soon feel the taste of complete destruction. It seems that I have to go on a killing spree today."
"Well, then, I will use the blood and corpses of you rebels as gifts to congratulate my king on his coronation."
After saying that, the leading red dragon turned around with a grim smile and began to point fingers at the other red dragons.
As for the content of the action, it is self-evident. It must be to notify other red dragons to come for support. In the natural fog with such chaotic energy, even the dragon clan would find it difficult to use secret communication methods to contact each other.
But what is certain is that once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will undoubtedly become fish on the chopping board.
While feeling frightened, Lei Xiao noticed it keenly.
Based on previous observations, it was not difficult to tell from their huge sizes and deeper colors that there were four level six and six level five opponents in this team of dragons.
"In order to prevent accidents like this from happening, I naturally left a backup plan. If I can kill all the dragons in this group and then find a way to break the imprisonment barrier, I may still be able to see a glimmer of hope."
Just as Lei Xiao's brain was working rapidly and he was thinking of this in his heart, an unexpected change happened again.
While the leading red dragon was making orders, another sixth-order red dragon, who seemed to be standing behind it deliberately, suddenly opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit the former's unprotected neck fiercely. Lei Xiao could even vaguely hear the muffled sound of dragon scales breaking.
Because all this happened too suddenly, the former was caught off guard and because of the pain, he let out a roar mixed with anger and surprise, and wanted to turn around and fight with the latter.
But the latter who took the initiative obviously still held the initiative. Flames suddenly burst out of the dragon's mouth, which was still filled with blood and broken dragon scales, and sprayed directly towards the opponent's wound at close range.
For a moment, the former, whose neck was already covered in blood, let out a wail. There was no trace of the ferocity and recklessness just now, and he was soon completely covered by the hot dragon's breath.
Although red dragons are highly resistant to flames and are almost immune to any fire spells below the same level, they also have their weaknesses, and the latter, as a member of the same race, is obviously very clear about this.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the leading red dragon, who was about to start a killing spree, fell to the ground with a bang, leaving everyone present with a look of surprise.
