Chapter 1204 Breaking and shocking changes
"Your Highness, this giant tree trunk is emitting extremely strong and strange energy fluctuations, which is indeed the "root"!"
Diana, who was protecting Lei Xiao, looked down for a moment and then nodded to him.
"That's right, and there are also a lot of familiar energy fluctuations emanating from it."
Wu frowned and reported to Lei Xiao: "My Lord, it is the other [God Stones]. I can even hear their cries."
After that, Xiaojie, Xiaohuan and Xiaozhao all nodded, their faces extremely solemn.
"The wail of the God's Stone is heard from the Root of the Forbidden Tree?"
Lei Xiao frowned slightly, but soon he understood.
No wonder the strong men of the Black Abyss Brotherhood have been searching for the [God's Stone] at all costs. It turns out that the [God's Stone] is also an indispensable part of the forbidden tree.
To be more precise, only by possessing the [God's Stone] can the other party's so-called "divine plan" be successfully implemented.
"Before this, I have thwarted the other party's search for the "Old Contract Relic" many times, which undoubtedly slowed down the opponent's search for the "God Stone" to a considerable extent."
"I have to say, this is a very correct choice. Otherwise, the other party's destruction plan would have been accelerated."
Lei Xiao didn't have time to think about anything else, and immediately nodded to everyone and said: "Let the "root" emerge from the giant tree trunk first."
"Let me try first!"
Louise, who had been ready to go, flashed a cold light with her fangs, and pounced towards the giant tree trunk like a beast.
However, with the vast energy fluctuations surging wildly, although the attack of the true ancestor of the blood clan was powerful enough to easily destroy an elite army, the giant tree trunk was unharmed.
After that, Diana, Lorenz, Wu and others also took action one after another, but they were also unable to do anything to the opponent.
"Let me try."
After saying that, Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and a sixth-level attack magic scroll emerged.
Lei Xiao did not hesitate. He signaled everyone to retreat to a safe distance, injected the power of God, and activated it directly.
Accompanied by a violent wave of energy, a glittering hundred-meter-long earth spear instantly took shape, and then under Lei Xiao's command, it shot straight towards the giant tree trunk in front of him.
However, accompanied by a deafening roar, when countless dust settled to the ground, the giant dark red tree trunk was still intact, without even a scratch.
"Is that true?"
Looking at the intact dark red tree trunk, Lei Xiao's brows were twisted into a knot.
If you think about it carefully, even with the blessing of divine power, it would be difficult for Bing Lao and other sixth-level strongmen to clear the outer branches and roots, let alone this even larger tree trunk.
"Perhaps a higher-level magic scroll can destroy it, but I have just asked, even the two old presidents of the neutral organization do not have a reserve of sixth-level magic scrolls. After all, the materials for making such scrolls are too rare, and are no less than sixth-level equipment."
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao clenched his fists, then reluctantly let go, and a feeling of powerlessness immediately rose from the bottom of his heart.
Although his strength has been rising rapidly and he has many enhancing effects, he is still a little too stretched when facing such a high-intensity battlefield environment.
If I were stronger, maybe I could break this situation.
"You despicable alien, you are just a tiny ant at the peak of the fourth level. I overestimated you just now. Even if you managed to hold me back, what good is that? You still can't do anything."
The mysterious being's turbid eyes were full of mockery. He looked at Lei Xiao with disdain and said with a sneer.
As for the two people, Bing Lao and Hui Lao, who were besieging him, their attacks became increasingly weaker and they were suppressed by the other side to the point where they could hardly breathe.
However, just as the mysterious being finished speaking, something unexpected happened.
Lei Xiao focused his mind, swung Rolandel and chopped hard on the dark red tree trunk that was flashing with strange light.
Along with a flash of sharp sword light, the originally indestructible giant dark red tree trunk was actually cut into a huge gap, and a black mist came out with a hissing sound.
Seeing this sudden scene, not only did the mysterious existence's ridicule stop abruptly, but everyone including Lei Xiao himself was also filled with surprise. Then, the surprise on our faces turned into uncontrollable excitement.
Although I don't know how all this happened, Lei Xiao has undoubtedly won us a glimmer of hope to dispel the haze!
"How did I do that when even a level 6 attack can't cause any damage?"
Lei Xiao was stunned at first, then he looked at Rolandel in his hand and reacted instantly.
If nothing unexpected happened, it was obviously this heirloom sword that once served as a symbol of the Silver Fire Kingdom's royal family that played a role.
"No matter what, we must not let go of this great opportunity!"
Lei Xiao gathered his mind, his aura surged, and he raised his sword again and stabbed straight into the gap: "Shadow Chasing Light Breaks!"
For a moment, Lei Xiao and Rolandel almost turned into a dazzling light and rushed towards the target like a cannonball.
boom!
There was a loud bang of energy exploding, and thicker black fog suddenly emerged from the giant dark red tree trunk, rolling and rising in the air.
When the black fog gradually dissipated, everyone was delighted to find out.
Lei Xiao had already made a hole in the giant tree trunk that was more than ten square meters in size.
Amidst the black fog, the cave that flickered with darkness and blood was filled with a foul stench, and at the end of the cave, there was a hint of crystal clear dim light.
Although it was extremely dim, Lei Xiao could still easily distinguish that it was the light of multiple [God's Stones]!
All of these [God's Stones] were wrapped in dark red and firmly embedded in the interior of the giant tree trunk. Energy flow patterns like blood vessels crisscrossed around them, clearly providing support for the entire forbidden tree.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao tightened his grip on Rolandel.
As someone who possessed several [God's Stones], he clearly understood that [God's Stones] could not be destroyed.
Therefore, the only way to break the "root" is to forcibly peel the [God's Stone] from it.
As expected, just as Lei Xiao was thinking about this, Wu's reminder sounded: "My Lord, there are twelve [God's Stones] in total. As long as you peel them all off from the inside of the tree trunk, you can destroy the "root"!"
"Don't even think about succeeding, you bastard!"
The mysterious existence was surprised, and left Gray Old and Ice Old behind, flying towards Lei Xiao with murderous intent.
But just when he got halfway, Joniel gritted his teeth and blocked it. Although he could not cause any harm to the mysterious existence, under the protection of the energy barrier, he was still able to stop the opponent for a moment.
boom!
There was another loud bang. Although Joniel was blocked by the mysterious existence as expected, Gray Old and Ice Old, who had just been left behind, rushed over and intercepted the mysterious existence again.
Under the desperate obstruction of three of our sixth-level warriors, although the mysterious existence was filled with murderous intent, it still could not get close to Lei Xiao at all.
However, in the fierce battle full of dangers, no one noticed.
Although the mysterious existence that was intercepted again and again looked extremely corrupt, the corners of his mouth slightly raised inadvertently, as if he was not worried that Lei Xiao could really remove the [God's Stone].
Sure enough, while the three Bing Lao were holding the enemy back, Lei Xiao and the other strong men on our side had just taken a few steps in the cave when something strange happened.
Suddenly, an absolute defensive barrier appeared out of nowhere, isolating everyone once again and preventing them from moving forward even a bit.
This sudden barrier was flashing with dark strange light all over, and judging from the strange energy fluctuations it emitted, it was obviously very strong. Unless all the strong men present on our side took part in the battle, it would be difficult to break it.
"Where did the barrier come from?!"
Louise, who was running in the front, was stunned, her fair face full of confusion.
"My Lord, that mysterious being must have other accomplices!"
Wu's expression was solemn, and he blurted out: "I'm afraid that after seeing you smash the tree trunk, the other party simply used the [God's Stone] as bait to lure us in!"
"Let's retreat first."
Hearing the voice, Lei Xiao, who also realized that something was wrong, gave the order without hesitation.
Hearing Lei Xiao's order, everyone flew out of the tree hole.
Just as everyone left, a confinement barrier appeared in the damaged part of the tree hole, almost trapping everyone inside.
"My lord, these barriers are so familiar."
Just when everyone was panicking, Xiao Jie's voice suddenly rang in Lei Xiao's ears: "Although it is much more powerful, it is exactly the same as what I used."
"Exactly the same?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao just turned his head and was suddenly surprised to find.
Behind Xiaojie, another "Xiaojie" suddenly appeared.
Although the newly appeared "Xiao Jie" looked exactly the same as the previous one, there was no expression on her fair face, just like a puppet.
In the blink of an eye, more expressionless "Xiao Jie" appeared one after another and stood behind every strong man on our side.
This stiff scene was undoubtedly very similar to the first time I saw Xiao Jie, but these "Xiao Jie" were not bound by black chains and lacked facial expressions, which made them completely different from Xiao Jie.
"It's not an illusion. Where do all these Xiaojie come from?"
Xiao Huan on the side obviously also noticed this unexpected scene and blurted out.
However, before she could finish her words, something strange happened again.
All around "Xiao Jie" there was a surge of energy fluctuations, and it was obvious that some magic was being activated.
For a moment, Lei Xiao felt that his feet were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and even his waist could hardly be straightened, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
Lei Xiao was certainly not unfamiliar with this feeling. It was exactly the same as the suppression he felt when Xiao Jie cast the confinement barrier before, but it was obviously much stronger.
With fear in his heart, Lei Xiao tried his best to look back.
He discovered that there was indeed a "Xiao Jie" standing behind him. It was she who cast a small confinement barrier, completely binding him inside it.
This is not the end yet, Lei Xiao soon noticed something further.
Not only himself, but also Xiaojie, Louise, Diana, Lorenz, and the other three stone elves were all strongly suppressed. They were all imprisoned in place by "Xiaojie" behind them and could not move at all.
"My Lord, please forgive my incompetence. I don't know why these guys look exactly like me."
Xiao Jie, whose energy was already running out, was almost pressed to the ground. She said with tears in her eyes, anxiously, "I'm sorry, sir, I can't break free from the other party's restraints!"
"It's not your fault. In fact, there were already signs of this."
Lei Xiao looked at the skinny stone elf that was pressed heavily on the ground, forced a smile, and responded: "I underestimated the means of that mysterious being."
Needless to say, what Lei Xiao was referring to was naturally what happened in the dungeon of the Silver Fire Kingdom.
I remember that Xiao Jie had been puzzled at that time. Some barriers were obviously not deployed by her, but they used exactly the same methods as her.
Now it seems that this is obviously the masterpiece of these new "Xiaojie".
But what puzzled Lei Xiao was that Xiao Jie, as the [God's Stone], should be unique, so why are there so many new "Xiao Jie"? It was simply unbelievable.
"Your Excellency (Your Highness)!"
Noticing the sudden change in Lei Xiao and others, Bing Lao, Hui Lao, who were fighting fiercely with the mysterious existence, and Yonir, who was acting as a roadblock, were all shocked.
However, the mysterious being showed an expected expression, the corners of his mouth raised again, showing a strange arc that ordinary people could not make, and said grimly: "I have already said it just now, you are just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, you are overestimating your own abilities."
As he spoke, the mysterious being's playful face suddenly turned ferocious, and he roared harshly: "The game should end here. Let me completely destroy your last hope."
After saying that, the mysterious existence's already overwhelming momentum surged again, and the sickle in his hand suddenly slashed out with an extremely sharp blow. Countless dark red knife shadows swept towards the three Bing elders like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth.
Faced with such a powerful and fierce attack, the three had no choice but to grit their teeth and choose to avoid it.
But taking advantage of this moment, the mysterious existence's moving speed suddenly reached an unprecedented new height. It actually broke through the obstruction of the three people and rushed towards Lei Xiao with murderous intent.
At this point, the other party’s purpose has become very clear.
It was obvious that he was planning to first get rid of Lei Xiao, the absolute core of the team, and then kill the rest of our team one by one.
Noticing the other party's intention, Bing Lao and the other three reacted extremely quickly. They flew towards Lei Xiao at the same time, trying their best to stop him.
However, due to the mysterious existence's too fast speed, he was unable to catch up with it.
In almost an instant, a mysterious being with a hideous smile on his face appeared in front of Lei Xiao, holding high up the scythe in his hand that was flashing with a deadly light.
