Chapter 1326: Changes in the Lair
"Ouch..."
As another sixth-order dragon whimpered and fell to the ground under the siege of our strong men, Lei Xiao and others had no time to breathe a sigh of relief, strange energy fluctuations suddenly surged out from all over the battlefield.
For a moment, a deep smell of decay, earth, and a smell similar to rust rapidly spread in the air and became extremely strong.
After the series of battles just now, everyone on our side has learned that it was the strange smell emitted by the purple crystals that were parasitic on the dragon.
"As the dragons fell one after another, the smell should have become noticeably lighter. Why did it suddenly become stronger? Could it be that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived?"
Surprised, Lei Xiao calmed down and immediately looked around.
Since we have advanced to the second half of this vast space, and the dwarves have already dispelled most of the fog here, almost everything is in sight.
In other places in the dimly lit nest, strange purple halos were rising one after another like torches that were suddenly lit. Those increasingly dense purple light balls swayed and expanded rapidly back and forth, and were extremely conspicuous in the dark space. This was the source of the strange energy fluctuations and the strange smell.
"It's not reinforcements, could it be..."
Lei Xiao's eyes opened wide and he soon discovered what was going on. The places where those purple light balls suddenly appeared were where the enemy dragons that we had just killed were lying in a mess!
To be more precise, it was the purple crystals covering the dragon's body that had lost their color and began to shine again!
At a glance, those giant dragons that had originally lost their breath of life once again erupted with energy fluctuations that were no less than the initial encounter. The result was naturally self-evident; the opponent was obviously not really dead.
As expected, just as Lei Xiao realized this, the dwarf elf soldiers who were scattered everywhere to dispel the last of the fog shouted in fear: "It's moving! Those fallen dragons are moving again!"
As the dwarves finished their words, Lei Xiao noticed it.
Not far away, the huge motionless bodies of several dragons began to wriggle regularly, looking extremely strange under the increasingly intense purple light, and there was also a faint sticky sound of flesh and blood fusion emitted.
As the wriggling speed became faster and faster, the sticky sound of fusion became more and more obvious. The wounds on the dragons healed quickly, and even the broken wings and shattered limbs were restored to their original state.
What is even more surprising is that the repaired wounds are growing purple flesh and blood that look like crystals. Not only is it slowly wriggling, but it is also emitting the texture of crystals, and it is obviously crystallizing.
In almost an instant, the purple flesh and blood was completely transformed into purple crystals covering the rest of the dragon's body, flashing a suffocating purple light.
This is not over yet. As the new purple crystals flashed, the opponents who had fallen to the ground began to stand up one after another with low roars. Their lifeless purple eyes were filled with hostility again, and a tremendous momentum of boiling murderous intent was rushing towards them.
"This is……?!"
Upon seeing this scene, all our warriors were immediately filled with astonishment, with beads of sweat the size of beans oozing out of their foreheads.
Everyone had just experienced the hardness of the purple crystals. Now, the fallen opponents not only stood up again, but their wounds were covered with new purple crystals.
This undoubtedly means that the opponent's defense has been enhanced to a considerable extent. After all, the wounded part is now indestructible.
Especially when we saw that some of the dragons that were severely broken into pieces were restored to their original state, it made our strong men even more frightened.
For a moment, even though our camp had many sixth-level fighters, an atmosphere of uneasiness quietly spread among the team.
"Haha, ants, you didn't think you were going to win just now, did you?"
The culprit's mocking and disdainful voice sounded, sneering: "Even if you defeat my masterpieces a hundred times, they will stand up again."
"Every wound you inflict only makes their defenses stronger, but the energy you consume is real. In this case, how long can you last?"
The culprit's voice became more unbridled, and he laughed wildly: "Ants, how does it feel to be in despair? This is what happens when you try to shake a tree with your own strength!"
"Stop talking to yourself there!"
There was no trace of weakness on the old face of the Shult woodcarver. Instead, he said sternly, "As long as we completely destroy these guys, can they still regenerate?"
"Haha, that's easy to say. It depends on whether you have the ability to do it."
The culprit's voice was full of teasing, and he said grimly: "No, I just said it, your flesh and blood will form the red carpet for my coronation, hehehe!"
Listening to the other party's unscrupulous words, the faces of our strong men became more solemn.
Although what Shulter said just now made a lot of sense, if the opponent was completely turned into powder, it should be possible to suppress this terrible regeneration.
However, the defense of the dragon clan is extremely strong, comparable to the heaviest armor among heavy armors. Most of our countermeasures are to attack one point to achieve the effect of breaking the armor, which can cause effective damage to the enemy.
From this it is not difficult to see that completely eliminating an enemy is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task, and it will inevitably consume a lot of one's own energy.
Under this premise, even if we can eliminate some of them, facing an infinitely regenerating opponent, all of our members will inevitably run out of energy, or even die here.
If all of our members are defeated, the efforts of other soldiers who are fighting desperately in the Dragon's Lair will be in vain.
To take a step back, even if we successfully evacuate, then facing the opponent's crazy revenge, the result is self-evident.
Feeling the increasingly solemn atmosphere, even Serin and other dragons frowned tightly. Even though it was not difficult for two of them to defeat their opponents, they could not easily burn any dragon to ashes.
"Is there no other way to suppress the other party's resurrection?"
Facing more and more opponents who stood up again, Lei Xiao directed our strong men to reorganize their formation while he began to think secretly.
After learning about the story of the White Knight, I have talked to him about parasitic crystals many times.
According to the White Knight, although the parasitic crystal gave it a long lifespan and self-healing abilities comparable to those of the vampires, it also limited the growth of its strength, preventing it from improving even a little bit.
These are all secondary. The most important thing is that no matter how strong the White Knight's self-healing ability is, he is not invincible. He almost died at the hands of the Nightmare Knight. He is definitely not as unscrupulous as these dragons, and even if the injured part healed, it would not crystallize.
In other words, this mysterious purple crystal is more than one level stronger than the White Knight's blue crystal, at least in terms of regeneration ability.
"No, I remember the White Knight once said that when the Kingdom of Loren fell, he was indeed on the verge of death. It was the appearance of the mysterious eyeball that pulled him back from the brink of death. The regenerative power he gained at that time was much stronger than later. The White Knight also mentioned that after leaving the ruins of the Kingdom of Loren, he felt that a certain power in his body seemed to have weakened."
"This means that the regeneration ability of the blue crystals should not be inferior to that of the purple crystals at the beginning, but it became weaker later."
"Is this because the passage of time has caused the power of the mysterious eyeball to weaken, or is it due to some other reason?"
Lei Xiao's brain is working at a very fast speed, analyzing the current situation.
Putting aside the factor of time, if the mysterious blue crystals of the parasitic White Knight actually have the same regeneration ability as these purple crystals, then what exactly caused the decline in the regeneration ability of the blue crystals?
Lei Xiao continued to unravel the situation, comparing our current situation with the White Knight's situation at that time.
It is not difficult to see from the current situation that only when one of the same conditions between the two has changed, the regeneration ability of the blue crystal has been weakened.
In other words, as long as this same condition is found, the reason for the attenuation of blue crystals can be found.
As long as we know why the blue crystals decay, then by the same token, we will undoubtedly be able to find the key to dealing with these dragons.
After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao's calm eyes lit up, and in an instant, he suddenly understood in his mind: "I know, there is only one common condition, that is, whether it is when the Kingdom of Loren fell or now, the magic veins of fire attribute are in an extremely full state!"
"At that time, after the White Knight left the ruins of the Kingdom of Loren, he naturally moved away from the landforms with the most abundant fire energy. So by the same token, as long as the fire veins here are weakened, these dragons will no longer be so recklessly resurrected!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately looked at Hong Ye and asked, "As a former Blazing Priest, can you quickly divert the fire attribute magic veins here after the coronation ceremony is completed?"
"My Lord, I can guide the fire attribute magic veins to gush out, so I can naturally divert the fire attribute magic veins!"
Although he didn't understand why Lei Xiao asked this question, Hong Ye still nodded heavily and responded without hesitation.
"Then the situation is much simpler."
Lei Xiao took a deep breath and said seriously, "Everyone, maybe I have a way to solve the current dilemma."
Hearing Lei Xiao's voice, our powerful warriors, who were originally extremely nervous, couldn't help but brighten their eyes and pricked up their ears.
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and simply and clearly described what he had just thought.
"I see. As long as we calm the fire magic veins here, these guys won't come back to life anymore, right?"
Broy nodded with sudden enlightenment, his voice becoming noticeably higher.
"In other words, we just need to hold these big guys back here and defeat the culprit, right?"
Shuerte nodded slightly, and a serious expression immediately emerged on his wooden face. He said to Lei Xiao firmly: "Your Majesty, the task of holding back these big guys will be left to us. Your Majesty just needs to lead the others to continue to go deeper."
After Shuerte finished speaking, the other tree people elders also stood up, looking ready to fight.
"There are no less than 30 level dragons here, and hundreds of level dragons. You guys are too weak to handle it alone."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, and first handed over the 20 metal dragons, 10 dark guardians, and 10 fifth-level alchemical puppets obtained from Joniel to Shulter's command, and then looked at Broy and the wood fairy elders, and ordered them to also contribute some of their combat power to support Shulter and others.
Otherwise, if it were just relying on the seven sixth-level fighters such as Shult, even if the tree man's skin was also extremely hard, it would undoubtedly be impossible to contain such a huge force. Lei Xiao clearly understood that only when the battle lines were stable everywhere could he move forward without any worries.
In the end, despite the strong refusal of Shulter and others, Lei Xiao still kept three wood fairy elders and 3 sixth-level alchemical puppets, as well as a considerable number of dwarf elf soldiers and fifth-level alchemical puppets, to prevent the fog from spreading again.
Of course, Shulter and the others still have a considerable number of trump cards, so we will undoubtedly have 20 sixth-level combat forces, so at least we will not be too embarrassed.
On the other hand, on Lei Xiao's side, in addition to the three sixth-level powerhouses of the human race, there are also two sixth-level dragons under Serin and another 3 sixth-level alchemical puppets of the dwarf elves, totaling 10 sixth-level combat forces.
Although he is not as good as Shulte in number, Lei Xiao still has 10 sixth-level summoning scrolls and hundreds of fifth-level summoning scrolls on him, which can be used as temporary combat power supplement.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Seeing those staggering dragons surrounding them again, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else. He decisively led other strong men to fly deeper into the dragon's nest.
Just as Lei Xiao and his group left, the people who stayed behind, such as Shulte, also formed their battle formations and fought fiercely with their opponents once again.
Listening to the increasingly distant sounds of battle, Serin looked at Lei Xiao with a little more appreciation in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, the human emperor actually had a considerable understanding of the mysterious crystal and analyzed the problem in a short time. This was knowledge that even a giant dragon with a long lifespan like her did not possess. You know, in order to catch up with Hong Ye, she studied a lot of ancient knowledge day and night.
It seems that this young man from another world was able to guide the human race forward and gain Hong Ye's submission. He was indeed not an ordinary person. He even saved his life just now.
What's more, the other party is a son chosen by God... Looking at Lei Xiao's angular profile, Serin's heart suddenly started pounding for no reason. She quickly retracted her gaze and forced her thoughts back to reality.
Just as Serin was somewhat lost in thought, another huge monster shrouded in darkness appeared in front of the group of people, standing there quietly.
