Chapter 1399 Depth and Encounter
As Bruno, a group of minotaurs, and some strong men such as Erza left the team and quickly returned along the route they came from, Lei Xiao also deployed everything outside through telepathy.
Whether it is our strong men who stayed at the entrance of the cabin, or the Minotaur and other strong men who stayed on the fleet, they are all lying in wait under the cover of invisibility illusion, ready to respond to possible crises at any time.
However, as long as no opponent approaches our sea area, there is no need to take the initiative to attack. We only need to collect as much information as possible about the fleets of other lords nearby.
In addition, a group of speed-type warriors led by Gray Old Man all wore invisible cloaks and other concealment measures, and also left the cabin to further collect intelligence on other lords in the outside world.
The above-mentioned places are equipped with their own direct subordinates, all of whom can report the latest information at the first time.
As for himself, he led most of the strong men to continue moving towards the depths of the cabin. His goal was naturally to seize the so-called treasure.
"It's not hard to learn from the last part of the rules introduced by the "prompt sound" that once a lord successfully seizes the treasure, he also has the power to decide whether other lords stay or go. This means that if other lords achieve this first, I will most likely continue to be trapped here."
"As for whether we will be trapped here and wait for the next competition to begin, or continue to fight each other, or even be wiped out directly or face other more fatal situations, it is still unknown at the moment, but this is obviously not the result I want."
"Since I have been dragged into this so-called Lord's Arena, my only goal is to win."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and immediately instructed everyone: "Everyone, what is going to happen next will determine our survival. Once we encounter the opponent, do not hold back."
"As you command, Lord (Human Majesty)!"
Hearing this, all the strong men looked solemn and spoke in unison.
After arranging everything, Lei Xiao led the team towards the depths of the cabin with a look of fighting spirit on his face.
"Since we are competing for treasures, then this so-called treasure should be an important part. I want to see what the "prompt sound" has prepared."
"Furthermore, this is also a good opportunity to get to know other lords. After all, I have learned from the intelligence I obtained before that a considerable number of overlord-level lords began to move towards the outer realms after controlling the entire human race."
"You know, every force in the outer domain is extremely powerful. As long as you control a part of it, your own strength will increase significantly."
"Moreover, many lords, with the blessing of their respective talents, are capable of competing with foreign forces. For example, the guy we encountered in the mutant dimensional storm almost wiped out Chris and the others. Although his methods were despicable, his strength was still quite impressive."
"Plus, this sudden arena is extremely special and requires departure by sea. Since the area around the isolated island where I was at the beginning is full of sixth-level sea monsters, I'm afraid the other lords are not much better."
"This undoubtedly means that among these lords participating in the arena, there must be opponents who are strong enough to threaten me, or even more than one."
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking of this, the scene in the surrounding cabin was changing rapidly.
After leaving the square area, the group turned off the magic light ball and used night vision spells to pass through several large and small cabin areas.
Among them, most of them are residential areas, and there is even a mottled old street block with many slaughtering and smoking facilities that have long been covered with magical moss, which are obviously prepared for sea monsters.
In addition, there are still a large number of skeletons scattered in various corners and streets, but there is no trace of any lord.
In contrast, the sound of magic artillery fire coming from outside the cabin became more and more intense. The continuous roars came one after another and were distributed in different locations. It was obvious that two lords or even more lords had started a melee on the sea.
As for the area where our fleet is located, it is still calm and there are no disturbances.
After passing several dusty cabin areas, Lei Xiao noticed.
We have obviously arrived at a completely new area. The layout of the cabin here is significantly different from that of the centaurs and elves before, and it also gives me a sense of déjà vu.
As expected, through the scattered bones, the group soon discovered that the owner of this place was once a dwarf. Although their height was similar to that of the dwarves, they were obviously much thinner than the latter. This time it was Broy and his companion Cornet's turn to look at the mess on the ground with melancholy.
"No wonder it feels familiar. There are indeed many elements similar to magic technology here. The decoration style is also more mechanical. There are even many damaged alchemical puppets that have been in disrepair for a long time. I wonder if there is anything worth studying and using."
As Lei Xiao thought so, he looked at the dwarf elf king Broy not far away. The latter immediately understood and shook his head helplessly.
After some observation, Broy and Cornette soon discovered that the dwarfs here were far inferior to them in using magic energy, and their alchemical puppets were riddled with holes and looked tattered.
This is not surprising. After all, the research and development of magic technology requires many different resources and facilities, and the dwarves on the ship are obviously extremely lacking in these things, not to mention alchemical puppets.
After receiving Broy's feedback, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and refocused his attention on the possible opponents.
Soon, a rather large cabin area appeared in front of the group. Like the previous areas they passed by, this area was formed by the merger of dozens of ships.
Before Lei Xiao entered the area, Jace, who was exploring the way ahead, sent a report: "Your Majesty, there are corpses everywhere. It looks like the battle just ended not long ago."
Upon hearing this news, Lei Xiao and the others looked stern, and the sharp blades and staffs in their hands emitted a chill in the darkness.
Surrounded by many powerful men, when Lei Xiao stepped into this area, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.
Looking around, there were indeed many corpses lying in a mess, and the blood had not even dried up yet.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao to find the body of a lord lying on the ground. His brown eyeballs were bulging with bloodshot eyes, and a mixture of saliva and blood was flowing all over the ground. He looked surprised and terrified.
On his body wrapped in shining knight armor, there was only a bloody hole that went through it, and it was obvious that he was killed instantly. The bodies of other strong men around him also had exactly the same wound, and even the cause of death and expressions were extremely similar.
According to the judgment of Jace and others, although most of these corpses were fifth-level warriors, there were at least three sixth-level warriors, and they were all from the same team. As for equipment, storage rings and other items, they had long disappeared.
"My Lord, they were probably all killed by the same enemy with a single blow from behind, and there was no sign of any resistance."
Xiao Jing squatted down and checked for a moment, then tilted her head and said, "But there are many level six warriors among these corpses. Even if one person was attacked suddenly, the others should have reacted. How could they remain indifferent?"
"Yes, they looked like they were waiting to be slaughtered. There were no bodies of the enemies around. It is very likely that the enemies were able to do all this without any injuries."
A trace of contemplation emerged on Shuerte's wooden sculpture's old face, and he frowned and said, "It seems that the enemy they encountered obviously mastered some kind of means that caught them off guard."
Hearing the sound, all the strong men couldn't help but frowned slightly. Although the strength of these corpses was quite limited, it was undeniable that such fierce means still made people feel a little scalp numb. After all, these corpses were wiped out, while the opponent was unharmed.
In addition, this battle probably took place more than ten minutes ago, or even a few minutes ago. In this case, we did not notice it at all, which is enough to prove that the opponent's actions were indeed clean and neat.
"It's interesting, but our strength is far from being comparable to that of a lord of this level."
Lei Xiao turned his eyes away from the corpse and looked at the powerful men around him.
I saw a crowd of people around me, about fifty or sixty in number, standing in different places, either investigating carefully or concentrating on being alert.
Although he had dispersed some of his combat power before, most of them were fifth-level warriors, and those who were currently following him were almost all genuine sixth-level forces, with the exception of Broy and Cornet who controlled the alchemical puppets. With the support of more than 50 sixth-level warriors, he was able to handle the situation with ease.
"Your Majesty, we have carefully investigated and found that the several passages connecting here have been swept by wind magic, erasing all traces. We are unable to determine the whereabouts of the other force at all."
Chris and Fanny flew over one after another and reported to Lei Xiao.
"I understand. But no matter what thorns lie ahead, they cannot stop us."
Lei Xiao nodded to everyone without hesitation and said, "Keep going. If that other force blocks our way, let them see what kind of giant they have provoked."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the strong men showed high spirits and started to advance again under Lei Xiao's deployment.
In order to better deal with possible crises, Lei Xiao decisively changed the formation of the march and adopted a new approach to move towards the depths of the cabin area.
The roar of magic cannons outside the cabin was still coming one after another, even mixed with the roar of some kind of sea monster, it sounded extremely intense, but inside the cabin, our group's progress was silent, like a gust of wind flashing by.
Just as fifty or sixty of our people had just stepped into a vast cabin area that looked like a warehouse, a shadow suddenly revealed a sinister smile in a hidden corner of the storage area.
"Haha, it looks like another stupid prey has been hooked."
As soon as he thought of it, a rustling sound suddenly rang out from the originally quiet ceiling, and a group of huge figures suddenly appeared in the darkness like ghosts.
Those giant shadows moved at an extremely fast speed, without emitting any energy fluctuations or aura at all, and soon arrived above our heads.
In the pitch-black environment, the giant shadows stood side by side with their eyes moving, looking down at everything from the ceiling, emitting an imperceptible hostility, and the eight legs distributed on both sides of the body made them extremely agile.
What appeared silently above our heads were giant spider monsters that were nearly two meters long and completely black!
Because the cabin here is high and it is dark everywhere, the giant spider that blends into the environment cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the figure hiding in the dark raised a murderous look at his lips and decisively gave the order to attack.
The moment they received the order, the abdomens of more than thirty giant spiders trembled, and extremely sticky and tough spider silk gushed out at the same time, overwhelming us.
Almost in the blink of an eye, our group was bound tightly by the spider silk before they could react, unable to move at all.
"They are indeed a bunch of idiots."
Seeing this scene, the figure hiding in the dark walked out calmly from the shadows with a smug look on his face.
These Black Demon Armored Spiders were originally at the fifth level, but after being strengthened by their own talents, not only were they difficult for sixth-level warriors to detect their tracks, but their spider silk was at least ten times tougher!
Unless it is a strong warrior of level six, five stars or above, it is difficult to break free. It is no exaggeration to say that if it is caught off guard, even a level six dragon will surely die!
At this point, his identity is self-evident, he is also a lord from another world.
He simply waved his staff and calmly lit up the magic ball, revealing a distorted and hideous face.
He was wearing a hood, and his faintly visible light-colored eyes were filled with obvious contempt and condescension. He walked towards our group leisurely.
Behind the hooded lord, a skinny figure appeared, holding a short blade and exuding a majestic aura, obviously ready for the harvest.
"Let me take a good look at what kind of idiot has fallen into my trap again."
The hooded lord's face was full of mockery, and he said unscrupulously: "I have to say, the fear and despair left on that idiot's face just now was simply a wonderful sight. No matter what, he should die in fear and regret."
After the Hooded Lord finished speaking, the skinny figure with the short blade understood and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He flashed and appeared behind Lei Xiao who was surrounded by the crowd.
Then, without any hesitation, he stabbed Lei Xiao's back.
However, what happened next was something the unscrupulous hooded lord had never expected.
