Chapter 1550: The Depths of the Rift Valley
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Seeing Lei Xiao take immediate action, Lila and the other two were all excited and almost prostrated themselves in front of him again.
You know, the comprehensive upgrade of Lei Xiao's methods just now has made people feel from the bottom of their hearts that the choice made at yesterday's dinner was extremely correct.
And now that the former is so vigorous and resolute, how can they not be excited? God knows how many unknown and fierce methods this young human emperor has in his hands!
Noticing the increasingly obvious respect in the eyes of the three stone giants, although Lei Xiao appeared calm on the surface, he smiled helplessly in his heart.
During the dinner, apart from a few life-saving seventh-tier attack and defense scrolls, he had already revealed almost all his cards, and was able to barely calm the situation. This time, everything was still unclear, so he could only bite the bullet and go and check it out.
If it is really impossible to break through that barrier, then just find a reason to leave temporarily. In addition to going to Half-Titan as planned, he also has to find a way to restore the vitality of the Treeman Forest.
Just as Lei Xiao, Lila and the other two were in completely different moods, the group left the giant castle and soon returned to the Ice Stone City.
Then, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to take over the three most elite fifth-level legions of the stone giant. In this way, together with his own fifth-level alchemical puppet legion of the dwarf elves and a large number of fifth-level summoning scrolls, he could easily bring out the combat power of six fifth-level legions.
"Your Majesty, the location of the rift is right there!"
When everything was done, in the command hall of Ice Stone City, Lila pointed to a giant crack that appeared on the magic sand table and nodded heavily to Lei Xiao.
Her fair face was full of amazement, and Keira beside her had the same look on her face. Whether it was this Ice and Stone City that was extremely similar to the Shadow Market, or the magical sand table in front of them that displayed everything, it was far beyond the imagination of the two stone giant sisters.
Because even when they went to the Shadow Market, they could not go to core areas such as the control room and command hall. It was simply unheard of!
The most crucial thing is that as a second-rate force with more knowledge than Fanny and others, they clearly understand what it means to own a land favored by God. That undoubtedly shows that His Majesty the Human Race still has a genuine Son of God hidden here, and only the Son of God has the ability to control the Land of God's Favor!
You know, the Son of God's Choice is a powerful force left over from the Silver Moon Era. Even in front of a first-rate force that looks down on all races, he is a distinguished existence worthy of being a guest of honor!
While the Lila sisters were marveling at the sight, Peyton, who was unable to transform into human form, had to wait in a special area in the Ice Stone City prepared for the stone giant soldiers. After all, although the stone giants were not as tall as the real Titans, they could not enter buildings of ordinary sizes.
"understood."
After receiving Lila's instructions, Lei Xiao nodded slightly to Bing Lao who was on standby beside him.
The latter understood and first touched his chest and saluted. Then, the magic screen that reflected the Starfall Royal Court and other external scenes flashed with blue light. When everything became clear again, the Royal Court had disappeared, and in its place, there were several large fortresses of stone giants.
After seeing this scene, the amazement on the faces of the Lila sisters, who were teleporting with the Ice Stone City for the first time, became even more intense. It must be said that although the stone giant also has a relatively complete portal network, compared with the land of God's favor that can reach any place instantly, it can only be described as stretched.
"Your Majesty, these fortresses are exactly what I deployed here."
While she was amazed, Lila collected her thoughts and quickly reported to Lei Xiao: "The rift valley that was formed not long ago is behind the fortress!"
"Let's go now."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and left the command hall with a group of strong men.
With the reopening of the Ice Stone City gate, when Lei Xiao, Lila and three others walked out of the city with the Stone Giant Level 5 Legion, the Stone Giant generals stationed there immediately came to greet them.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Human Race, and to the Chief of the Clan!"
Since Lila had already made arrangements in advance, the generals were obviously extremely respectful to Lei Xiao. They all bowed deeply and even put Lei Xiao's name first.
For a moment, all the giant generals and the giant soldiers who came to meet them knelt on the ground in unison, causing the crisp collision sounds of armor to rise and fall one after another. The scene was quite spectacular.
"These big guys are pretty sensible."
Seeing this scene, Jasmine shook her head and nodded with satisfaction.
"What a nervous girl."
After signaling the stone giant soldiers to stand up, Lei Xiao glanced at Jasmine helplessly.
Now Lei Xiao's mind is full of thoughts on how to break through the mysterious barrier. He has even begun to think about how to find a reason to leave if he fails to break through it.
However, looking at the expectant eyes of the stone giant soldiers, Lei Xiao would not reveal these worries, but refocused his attention on the current scene.
It has to be said that compared with ordinary soldiers, the formation of giant soldiers is indeed more visually impactful and deterrent.
In addition, Lei Xiao also keenly noticed that although the stone giants, including Lila and the other two, all cast respectful glances at them, a hint of uneasiness and solemnity appeared on each of their gray giant faces, and they were obviously quite afraid of the mysterious city.
This is no wonder. After all, Lila used all her strength as a stone giant but was unable to break through the opponent's barrier even a little bit. This undoubtedly means that the opponent has the ability to attack at any time, but we can only passively defend. How can this not make everyone feel awe-inspiring?
"let's go."
Feeling this extremely uneasy atmosphere, Lei Xiao nodded to the stone giants.
Led by the stone giant generals, the group passed through a series of well-organized and heavily guarded giant fortresses, and soon arrived at the rift that Lila mentioned.
This rift, which was formed not long ago, is about forty to fifty meters wide. It is winding and has no end in sight. There are black gaps on both sides, and you can even clearly see the traces of the overlap between the two, which makes people think of the moment of tearing.
Mist with a sulfur-like smell is rising from the bottom of the abyss. Under the sunlight, the depths of the abyss are even more blurred and hazy.
Lei Xiao was no stranger to this disturbing magical fog. He had seen it in the battle of Dragon's Lair. It was a special product caused by the gushing of magical veins.
After observing for a while, Lei Xiao finally set his eyes on the cracked ground at the edge of the rift.
Compared with the fluorescent rift, this newly formed rift, although limited in scale, appears to be much more mysterious and profound.
"Your Majesty, the passage leading to the depths of the rift has been built."
Lila came closer to Lei Xiao, and there was an obvious hint of nervousness in her voice.
Under the guidance of the stone giant chief, Lei Xiao noticed that a magic staircase leading to the depths of the rift had been built. The other end of the staircase was completely integrated into the magical fog, and the end could not be seen at all.
At the same time, rumbling sounds continued to be heard, and another giant magic staircase suitable for giants to walk on was quickly formed and placed next to the ordinary stairs.
There are even extremely exquisite patterns engraved on the magic stairs, and there are lifelike sculptures of warriors on the handrails, which can be called a masterpiece of nature.
It has to be said that the stone giants' attainments in city-building are in no way inferior to those of the wood elves and flower elves, otherwise there wouldn't be so many temporary fortresses rising from the ground around them.
"Let's go check it out without further ado."
Surrounded by a group of powerful men, Lei Xiao began to move deeper into the underground, while the Lila sisters were already fully armed and were leading the way with caution.
This magical staircase was longer than expected. After a while, the group felt that the bright and dazzling sunlight above their heads became dimmer, and the surroundings became cooler and more humid. This was not only because of the obstruction of the magical fog, but also because the group had gone deep underground.
Lei Xiao felt like he had gone down at least a thousand steps before the road ahead became flat again.
But this is not the end of the road. At the bottom of the foggy rift valley, there is another road that continues downwards. It is winding and tortuous, and judging from the cracked ground, it was also formed not long ago.
It is extremely spacious here. Many giant soldiers who have come down ahead are already lining up in a tense queue, but it still does not seem crowded.
At this moment, there was a sudden vibration. Deep in the road ahead, the magical fog that kept pouring out like gunpowder began to roll wildly, and the momentum was quite impressive.
In this sudden situation, many stone giant soldiers lost their footing and began to stagger.
"Your Majesty, the magical ley lines have begun to erupt again. I didn't expect it to last for a month."
Lila subconsciously protected Lei Xiao and said with a frown, "This has never happened in history."
After Lila finished speaking, Keira beside her also looked stern and clenched the staff in her hand.
As the great elder of the Stone Giant, Keira is naturally very clear about this.
According to the records of the stone giants, although magical earth vein eruptions of similar scale have occurred in history, they have never lasted for such a long time. This is obviously not a good sign.
Hearing the voice, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by the crowd, had the same look on his face.
Given that a catastrophe could strike at any time, it is not surprising that such an unprecedented situation would occur.
This undoubtedly means that this land is getting closer and closer to the "Eclipse" army.
It is not difficult to know from the situation learned from Guanwang City that once that time comes, all races will face a complete catastrophe.
"Now is not the time to think about these things, let's focus on the present."
Lei Xiao calmed himself down and took another step forward.
Although the shaking had stopped at this point, everyone's faces were becoming more nervous. The sudden outpouring of magical veins undoubtedly meant that "Eclipse" was likely to reappear.
You know, this is a terrifying existence that ordinary strong men cannot deal with at all. Only those legendary [God's Stone] holders can contend with it!
While feeling uneasy, everyone's eyes fell on Lei Xiao.
Most of the stone giant soldiers present did not attend yesterday's dinner, so they did not know Lei Xiao's specific strength.
Although Lila and others saw Lei Xiao and Xuan Ji fighting side by side, and believed that Xuan Ji was very likely a stone elf, they had never received confirmation from Lei Xiao.
For a moment, there was a bit more worry and doubt in the uneasy eyes of the stone giants. Could this human emperor who had just walked out of the outside world really help them solve this crisis?
Regardless of whether the true identity of the mysterious city can be revealed, once encountered with "Eclipse", if there is no [God's Stone], it will most likely be a catastrophic disaster.
With this in mind, wasn't it a bit too hasty for the clan leader and the elders to bow their heads and ask the human emperor for help?
Thinking of this at the same time, the eyes of the stone giant soldiers became more complicated. Although most of them have seen the majesty of the Ice Stone City, this has no effect on "Eclipse".
Feeling the looming doubts around them, even Lila and Keira became a little uncertain.
Even though Mr. Pink Hood did say at the time that the human king could deal with "Eclipse", they had never seen it with their own eyes.
For a moment, the stone giants couldn't help but slow down their pace. You know, this place is not far away from the royal court, and it can be said to be a matter of life and death for the stone giants.
"Xuanji, Xiaojie, Xiaojing, all of you come out."
Lei Xiao was well aware of the unrest around him. He turned his palm upward, and three glittering [God's Stones] emerged.
Accompanied by flashes of dazzling golden light, the three stone elves appeared at the same time and saluted Lei Xiao with their hands on their chests.
“What, what is this…?!”
After seeing the whole process of the stone elf's appearance, the stone giant soldiers were stunned. The doubts in their eyes immediately disappeared and they all became excited.
Beside Lei Xiao, the Lila sisters were so surprised that they opened their mouths wide, and it took them a long time to recover.
You know, during the dinner, Lei Xiao only fought side by side with Xuan Ji, Xiao Jie and Xiao Jing never showed up from beginning to end. They never thought that the human Majesty actually possessed three [God's Stones]!
"You should all be relieved."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Can we move on now?"
"Yes, of course."
Lila nodded quickly and said with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. It's us who didn't recognize the great man and were restrained by anxiety."
"It's okay. It's human nature."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and walked towards the depths of the thick fog under Lila's guidance. (End of this chapter)
