Chapter 708: The Dream of the 5th Rank Powerhouse (Part 1)
Walking in this strange village full of round low houses, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a hint of curiosity on his face.
Through the previous understanding with his subordinates, Lei Xiao had already learned about it.
Whether it is the main force summoned by a single person, the elite squadron summoned by a group, or the most ordinary peasants, they are all because of some special reasons as an opportunity, and then make up their minds, choose to sign a contract with themselves, and are finally teleported to the territory .
Among them, Chao Yan, whose parents were missing, returned to her home full of cobwebs after graduating from the Sorcerer Tower. She looked desolate and felt empty in her heart, so she chose to accept the call because she was too Due to haste, he forgot the ancestral second-tier staff.
As for the Nanxing and Nanyue sisters, after graduating from the Assassin Academy, they were immediately recruited by the royal family where they were located because of their outstanding talents.
But because it was a power center that had been rotten to the core, Nan Xing Nanyue rejected the generous offer offered by the other party, so they were hunted down, and they were unwilling to attack their former classmates and instructors, so they had to choose to accept the call. Completely escaped from that place of right and wrong.
And Ye Cang is the last dark healer on his continent, and has been in charge of guarding the Black Light Temple, the base camp of the dark healer.
As a result, because the temple was too old, it collapsed unexpectedly, and he lost his place to settle down, so he accepted the call disheartened.
In addition to the main force, Xiao En and the pterosaur knight team had no choice but to leave because the new grand duke who was loyal to the principality indiscriminately killed the sky pterosaurs.
Rudy and other chefs and Ward and other servants were originally loyal to a down-and-out royal family, but after the new king took office, he actually chose to become a monk and entered a monastery near the country to study hard. Even the only three cities and property servants , and also donated it to Linguo. In desperation, Rudy and others could only choose to leave sadly.
Because their family members suffered tragic accidents in previous wars, and the instigator was the tyrant of the neighboring country.
As for the three magician squadrons that Lei Xiao summoned successively, needless to say, they all came from the Magic Tower where Chao Yan was located.
And the other elite squadrons also chose to accept the call collectively because of various complicated reasons such as the country where they were located was either annexed, surrendered, or destroyed.
It is worth mentioning that before accepting the summons, all the subordinates accepted the summons as if they had received a divine revelation.
Moreover, apart from understanding the master-servant contract, the subordinates don't know who they are about to pledge their allegiance to, and they don't know what kind of territory they are about to go to. It's like opening a blind box, but the content in the blind box is their own. s future.
"Among the many subordinates I have summoned, the most mysterious one is naturally the first subordinate, and it is also the knotweed that is a fifth-order powerhouse at the Zhenguo level."
Looking at the well-arranged circular houses around him, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Regarding the life experience of Polygonum cuspidatum, I only have a superficial understanding.
Knotweed was born in a kingdom called "Dragon Falling Kingdom". His father was a famous dragon slayer in the kingdom. He was once worshiped by thousands of people.
However, due to an accident, the whereabouts of Hu Zhang's father and his sword Zhan Long Jian are missing.
This is why that night, when he took out the unexpectedly upgraded Dragon Slaying Sword, the excited expression on the expression of the tiger stick and the determination to swear allegiance to the death.
As for other past events before the summoning, Hu Zhang didn't say much, and he didn't ask much.
Since the knotweed chose to accept the call and become his subordinate, what he and the knotweed will have to face is the future journey, just look ahead.
Then again, I am really curious about the past of Polygonum cuspidatum.
After all, according to common sense, a fifth-order powerhouse at the township level is enough to easily walk up the pyramid of power in a familiar country, live a luxurious life unimaginable by ordinary people, and easily achieve both fame and fortune. People worship.
And if you choose to accept the call, you will undoubtedly face an extremely uncertain future like a fog, or in other words, everything will start from scratch.
"What exactly happened that made Polygonum cuspidatum abandon the familiar past and choose an unfamiliar future?"
Thinking of this, the curiosity on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious, and he murmured in his heart: "Since this illusion named "Dream Devouring Realm" can show the most vulnerable side of the heart, then, it must be You will find the answer to the matter here, right? "
Thinking about it, Lei Xiao and Jin Wen have already walked to the pure white temple where Lian was rescued earlier.
Looking at the exquisite temple in front of him that was incompatible with the surrounding rustic villages, Lei Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
It is worthy of being a building in the Land of the Gods. The closer you get, the more you will feel an inexplicable sense of sacredness from the bottom of your heart, and it will also make you feel less nervous.
On the other hand, Jinwen, whose eyes were also attracted by the temple in front of him, rubbed his white chin and praised: "This is the first time I have seen such a perfect ancient temple, whether it is the extremely beautiful architectural style of the temple or the wall carvings His artistic accomplishments are so uncanny that it's hard to take his eyes off."
Seeing Jin Wen's lingering look, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Your Excellency, is Lian, like me, an archaeologist who has visited all over the ruins? Otherwise, even in a dream, it is impossible for ordinary people to depicts such a perfect building."
"Lian's identity is far more bizarre than you can imagine. As for this building, it really does exist."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and responded casually: "Now is not the time to discuss these things. If we can get through this difficult time, when the time is right, I will show you that there are even more turbulent waves besides the Winged Terran barrier area." And the incredible ancient ruins, where you will find all the answers you are curious about now."
Needless to say, what Lei Xiao was referring to was naturally the land of the gods in Gelin City.
When he was in the land of the gods, Lei Xiao had heard the description of Ariel and others who were shocked.
This legendary place known as the entrance hall of God's Domain only exists in a very small number of historical documents and has never been confirmed by anyone. It is also the ultimate holy place that countless archaeologists dream of.
"If Jinwen, who is an archaeologist fanatic, saw such a scene, he would probably faint from excitement right away?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his composure, and said seriously, "Now, you and I should focus on finding the knotweed."
"Your Excellency Ke Qing is right, but I am a little carried away."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Jin Wen's fair face also showed a trace of solemnity, nodded and said: "When I entered the illusion for the first time, I only stopped here, but I can vaguely feel I see, there is an abnormal aura ahead, please follow me down here."
After finishing speaking, Jin Wen glanced at the Pure White Temple in front of him with some reluctance, then completely restrained his curiosity, and walked in the front again.
As Lei Xiao and Jin Wen continued to move forward, the scene around them became more and more abundant.
In addition to the circular residence, dried meat, grains and other food around the house, as well as flowers and trees, began to appear gradually, and all kinds of figures also began to gradually change from illusory to solid.
At a glance, the smoke from the roof is curling up, the villagers returning from busy farming are staggered, and with the occasional sound of dogs barking and **** crowing, it seems to be no different from a real village.
Even Lei Xiao could smell the fresh air and the faint sweet aroma of toasted bread.
However, the gray-black sky above his head reminds Lei Xiao all the time that this place is not a peaceful reality, but an illusion full of danger.
And Lei Xiao also found that, just like the scene in the phantom before, these phantoms can't interact with himself and Jinwen, they are two completely different points of intersection, including the buildings and plants and trees here.
"Your Excellency, you are right in front."
Jin Wen on the side pointed to a large round house in front of him and said, "That's where the abnormal aura is."
When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.
It is located in the center of the village, and the large round house should be the residence of the village head or elders.
At this moment, a series of noisy voices came from the slightly open door of the large round house.
Since Lei Xiao couldn't push open the phantom wooden door, he could only look inside through the crack of the door.
In the round house, more than a dozen figures in village costumes formed a semicircle, pointing to a very burly figure in the middle.
Those disgusting faces and fierce words were like a trial of heretics.
"Ever since the father and son came to our Jinglong Village, the children in the village dare not come out to play casually! That silly big man always exudes a terrifying aura!"
"That's right, and this guy's hands are covered with the blood of the Dragon Clan. It sounds like it's making people uncomfortable in the dormitory! Once the Dragon King turns over the old scores, I'm afraid the whole village will suffer!"
"That's right, let them get out of the village! They are not welcome here!"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao focused his eyes on the burly man in the middle.
From where Lei Xiao was, he could clearly see the profile of the big man.
I saw that he was at least 2.3 meters tall, extremely tall and burly, with a thick curly beard on his resolute face, which looked rough and powerful.
"Knotweed?"
Seeing the other person's face clearly, Lei Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head again.
Although this person is almost carved out of the same mold as the knotweed, but judging from the gray beard and sideburns, it is obviously much older than the knotweed.
"So, is this the father of Polygonum cuspidatum?"
Looking at the burly man with his head bowed in silence, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
From the condemnation of the villagers just now, it is not difficult to hear.
The people here are obviously very resistant to Hu Zhang's father and Hu Zhang himself, and even want to drive them out of the village.
"Hu Zhang once said that his father was a fifth-order peak powerhouse, and a legendary dragon-slaying brave who slew harm for the people. This can also be proved from the attribute description of the dragon-slaying sword. How could a pinnacle powerhouse at the township level be criticized like this?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's expression became more and more puzzled, and he muttered to himself: "The more important thing is, how can a fifth-order powerhouse at the township level bring his children to live in such a place?" In a mountain town?"
"Besides, from the discussions among the villagers, it's not difficult to hear that the Dragon Race seems to be worshiped here, and the Dragon King is even mentioned..."
Just when Lei Xiao was confused, the crisp voice of brocade pattern sounded from the side: "His Excellency Ke Qing, take a quick look!"
Hearing Jin Wen's voice, Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze from the crack of the door, and followed the prestige.
I found a tall and straight young man standing under a big tree not far away, looking over here with a worried expression on his face.
Although there was still a childish look on the young man's face, Lei Xiao still recognized it at a glance, this is the knotweed stick from his youth!
What Lei Xiao expected was that the young knotweed was at least 1.9 meters tall, which was already an extremely tall existence.
"Your Excellency, this person is indeed the burly fifth-order strong man next to you, but because of the illusion, his appearance has changed. It seems that this should be the village where he lived in when he was young. "
The crisp sound of brocade patterns reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"So, as long as the knotweed can be awakened here, everything will be over?"
Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he immediately walked to the side of the young knotweed, trying to have a conversation with the knotweed.
However, the young Polygonum cuspidatum, like the other phantoms, turned a deaf ear to Lei Xiao's words.
However, unlike other phantoms, Lei Xiao can indeed touch the real body of the knotweed.
But even though it was Lei Xiao who beat the tiger stick fiercely on the ~ the tiger stick still didn't respond, just immersed in his own world.
"Your Excellency Keqing, this fifth-rank powerhouse named Huzhang has completely sunk into the current illusion. It is impossible to wake him up here."
Jin Wen shook his head helplessly, and said to Lei Xiao, "If "Dream Devouring Realm" is so easy to untie, then it's impossible to easily trap a fifth-level powerhouse. "
"It seems that I was too impatient."
Lei Xiao rubbed his sore fists, then frowned and said, "Then what should we do next?"
"This is just the surface layer of the illusion. If you want to successfully awaken the knotweed, you must go deeper into the illusion, and only then can you get in touch with the subconscious of the knotweed."
Jin Wen nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "It's useless to be anxious now, we just need to wait and see what happens, so that we can better understand the nightmare in the heart of the knotweed, and then find a way to open the knot."
As soon as Jin Wen's voice fell, the scene changed again.
