Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong
Chapter 1656 Rescue and Surprise
"Sister Helena, have you spotted other people nearby?"
Noticing the change in Helena's expression, Jasmine's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked.
"That's right, they are from the Mirror Lake Ring and the Silver Maple Court. The auras they exude are intermittent, yet extremely intense, suggesting a fierce battle taking place inside a closed building!"
Helena composed herself, then pointed to a building ahead and reported to Lei Xiao, "Your Majesty, it's over there at that low clock tower!"
"A low clock tower?"
Upon hearing this, not only Lei Xiao, but also powerful figures like Zhen and Luo Lik couldn't help but stiffen, clearly recalling the shocking scene of "Erosion" reproduction that had occurred not long ago.
"Your Majesty, a resonance has indeed been detected ahead. It seems that the place where those forest elves are located is the core of another underground array!"
After concentrating and sensing for a moment, Anna reported to Lei Xiao.
"what?"
After Anna's reminder, Helena finally realized what was going on.
Not long ago, she also heard about the "Erosion" breeding farm.
You must know that the place is full of "eclipse". Although the Silver Maple Forest Ranger and the Mirror Lake Singer each brought two stone spirits, they were also in a very bad situation in the initial battle with the possessed creatures. If there were still possessed creatures pursuing them there, they would probably be in a dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, Helena's eyebrows furrowed.
Although the Silver Maple Forest Ranger and the Mirror Lake Singer were not very likable, they still had other forest spirits around them. As a fellow forest spirit, she obviously couldn't stand idly by.
However, given her injured state, going there would obviously serve no purpose other than sending her to her death.
Thinking of this, Helena looked at Lei Xiao again. At present, the only one with the strength to take action was His Majesty the Human Emperor.
But then again, the reason the other party helped earlier was less to save him and more to help Jasmine out of a predicament. Now, what right did he have to ask His Majesty the Human Race to risk saving other forest elves?
Although His Majesty the Human Race said he would gather more forces, if there is danger, he will naturally have to re-evaluate whether it is worthwhile to take action.
"Sister Helena, don't worry. Although those guys are annoying, they are still a force to be reckoned with. He won't just sit idly by."
Jasmine clearly saw through Helena's thoughts and raised an eyebrow at Lei Xiao, saying, "Am I right?"
Jasmine clearly understood that whether it was the Ancient Tree Garden where she and Helena were, or the Mirror Lake Ring and the Silver Maple Garden, they were all among the five great forest elf kingdoms, and all forces that Lei Xiao was about to come into contact with.
For Lei Xiao, having the Mirror Lake Singer and the Silver Maple Forest Ranger owe him a favor here was clearly a win-win situation.
Moreover, gathering more combat power can also help resolve the upcoming troubles.
As for the minor conflict between himself and the singer of Mirror Lake, it was insignificant compared to Lei Xiao's vast ambitions. He knew his limits.
“Since you’ve spoken, you’re right.”
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, his expression calm and composed.
Lei Xiao was naturally very clear about what Jasmine was thinking.
As for the royal family of Silver Maple Court, I will definitely seek justice for Jiang Li and the others.
The Silver Maple Forest Ranger was just an ordinary elven nobleman. When Jiang Li and the other half-elves got into trouble, he was just a little kid. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to learn more information from him.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing that Lei Xiao was willing to lend a helping hand, Helena quickly expressed her gratitude to him.
"No need to be polite, it was just something I did on the way."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then said to the group of experts, "Speed up, let's get there as soon as possible."
"I will obey Your Majesty's orders!"
Whether it was the powerful warriors under Lei Xiao's command, the independent warriors, or the elven warriors like Zhen and Lorik, they all answered without hesitation.
Before long, the group of people, who were rapidly moving among the buildings, arrived at the location of the clock tower.
Upon entering a building that was remarkably similar to the one they had just seen, Lei Xiao and his group indeed discovered a hidden door that had already been opened, leading deep underground.
Seeing this, Jane and Rorick took the lead, while Lei Xiao led the others behind, all rushing into the passage.
As they sped along, the group indeed sensed the same eerie movement and foul stench again, along with increasingly clear sounds of fighting and screams.
Listening to the screams coming from the depths of the earth, Helena and Jasmine both frowned. It was clearly not the voice of the possessed creature, but rather that of other powerful forest elves.
Finally, when the group's view cleared, they indeed saw that hellish scene once again.
In the stench-filled underground space, the dark substance that had completely covered the walls, floor, and ceiling emitted an eerie glow. In those dark corners, countless cocoons had broken open, causing large amounts of "corrosion" to float in mid-air.
Moreover, there were many parasites mixed in with "Eclipse". The eerie light emanating from the crystal clusters around their bodies intertwined with the dark light of the dark substance, making the whole scene even more murderous.
These "Erosions" and their host formed a fan shape, surrounding a group of faintly aura-filled figures in a corner, clearly carrying out a final encirclement and kill.
"They really are from Mirror Lake Ring and Silver Maple Garden!"
Helena was stunned by the terrifying sight and blurted out the words. Even her stone spirit stared wide-eyed and involuntarily swallowed hard.
If Lei Xiao and the others hadn't been standing by their side, the two of them would probably have collapsed to the ground by now.
As for Jasmine, who was also seeing this scene for the first time, she simply pinched her nose and frowned.
This girl has seen many big scenes with Lei Xiao, especially in fighting against the possessed ones and "Eclipses," so she is obviously more experienced than Helena.
After all, Helena is just a young forest elf powerhouse. Even if she encounters the crisis of "Erosion", it is usually the more senior holders of the [God Stone] and cross-era powerhouses who will take action, while the former will at most play a supporting role on the sidelines.
Beside Helena, Lei Xiao also noticed the forest spirits, including the Silver Maple Forest Ranger and the Mirror Lake Singer, who were trapped in the center.
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and the surrounding experts displayed their abilities, rushing towards the opponent.
With the experience gained from dealing with the "Eclipse" and its possessed creatures, and with the increasingly close cooperation among the powerful individuals, they were engaged in fierce battle with the "Eclipse" and its possessed creatures in almost an instant.
"Even ants dare to walk right into our trap! No one is leaving today!"
The parasites reacted extremely quickly, immediately diverting most of their power to fight our strongmen to a standstill.
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements!"
Upon seeing someone come to rescue him, the disheveled Silver Maple Forest Ranger was almost overjoyed and wept with joy. The Mirror Lake Singer beside him was in the same state, still panting heavily and looking extremely wretched.
The two unfortunate brothers' magnificent robes were tattered and torn, and their auras were extremely weak. As for the stone elves following them, they were almost all covered in wounds, even more disheveled than Helena's stone elves.
At first, when the two saw that the reinforcements included dark elves like Jane and light elves like Lorik, they breathed a long sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, the two saw Helena and Jasmine. Although they were a little embarrassed, they couldn't care less at this moment, and a look of gratitude flashed in their eyes.
Not long ago, they had been mocking Jasmine, and now that she was among the reinforcements, the two of them felt embarrassed and regretful.
However, when the two saw Lei Xiao's figure, they couldn't help but frown slightly.
What is the human emperor doing here? Isn't he just causing trouble? A mere second-rate powerhouse, upon encountering the near-invincible possessor and "Eclipse," wouldn't he be too terrified to stand? After all, even they ended up in such a wretched state after encountering it!
However, the two of them quickly opened their eyes wide, their expressions filled with disbelief.
When faced with the frenzied attacks of "Eclipse" and the possessed creatures, Lei Xiao didn't even blink. He continuously unleashed lightning, leaving his opponents battered and bruised, or even reduced to ashes. It was as if the powerful light elves and dark elves, as well as Helena and Jasmine, were all fighting around the former, as if the former was the true commander.
"No way? They're actually taking orders from the ruler of a second-rate power?"
The Singer of Mirror Lake was the first to react, a look of disbelief appearing on his disheveled face. The Silver Maple Forest Guardian was even more astonished, clearly realizing the same thing.
At this moment, under Lei Xiao's command, our strongmen fought with increasing ferocity, enabling them to completely escape the encirclement and attack of the possessed beings.
Seeing the situation completely reversed, despite their doubts and surprises, they gritted their teeth and rejoined the battle.
Under the combined attack of our strong forces, the Silver Maple Forest Guardian, and the Mirror Lake Singer, the number of the parasites and "Eclipses" began to decrease significantly, and they were soon at their last gasp.
During this process, the two belatedly discovered something they never dreamed of.
That is, those powerful light elves and dark elves, and even those powerful rogues, were clearly not the holders of the [God Stone], yet they were still able to harm "Eclipse" and its possessors. And the source of this power was actually Lei Xiao, who was in command!
"Could it be that the human emperor is also able to share the power to combat the 'Eclipse'?"
At this moment, the two were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
You should know that this power is only possessed by the most elite chosen ones among the cross-era powerhouses; those are all great figures that they can only look up to.
Just as the Silver Maple Forest Guardian and the Forest Singer were becoming increasingly shocked, the battle quickly came to an end, with none of their opponents escaping.
Under Lei Xiao's command, the powerful warriors thoroughly cleaned up the breeding ground of "Erosion," including the deepest core of the formation.
"Gentlemen, are you all alright?"
Helena walked over, frowned at the two, and said, "Didn't we agree that we would send a signal to gather everyone to explore after discovering the unusual place? Why did you two come here on your own?"
"We thought we could handle this little problem ourselves."
The Mirror Lake Singer, who had been so arrogant before, shook her head helplessly at Helena and said, "I'm sorry for causing you all trouble."
After saying this, the Mirror Lake Singer and the Silver Maple Forest Ranger expressed their gratitude to Helena and the other powerful elves, and even bowed their heads to Jasmine.
"You should thank not us, but His Majesty the Human Race."
Helena bowed slightly, stepping aside for Lei Xiao, and said calmly, "If it weren't for His Majesty's decision to lend a helping hand, you would probably already be in grave danger."
After Helena finished speaking, Jane, Rorick, and the others all nodded in agreement and stood behind Lei Xiao.
"So, this human emperor—no, the human sage—is really the commander here?"
The Mirror Lake Singer and the Silver Maple Forest Guardian exchanged bewildered glances. Even the stone elves and the other surviving powerful forest elves looked exactly the same, which was undoubtedly far beyond their comprehension.
"Is that not true? Not only you, but we were also saved by His Majesty the Human Race!"
Helena crossed her arms, looking utterly unquestionable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"
Looking at Helena's affirmative gaze, although the Mirror Lake Singer and the Silver Maple Forest Guardian still had some doubts, they still expressed their gratitude to Lei Xiao.
"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. We are all in this unexpected predicament. Every additional person adds to our strength."
Lei Xiao didn't exchange many pleasantries with the other party, but simply instructed Anna and other skilled healers like Rorik to help the other party recover from their injuries as soon as possible.
During this process, all the powerful figures noticed that there were still some corpses of forest elf warriors scattered on the ground, all of whom had been almost torn to shreds by the possessed creatures, which made them feel a chill in their hearts.
If His Majesty the Human Race hadn't been by their side, they probably would have ended up like this long ago.
"They actually attacked us! We will never let them get away with this!"
Both the singer from Mirror Lake and the forest ranger from Silver Maple clenched their fists, their faces filled with sorrow.
“You are all right. We will not let them go. They not only tried to kill us, but they are also the root of the great catastrophe.”
Seeing that the others had recovered somewhat, Lei Xiao stepped forward, nodded to them, and said, "Let's continue. Don't forget that we're still trapped in their territory."
Upon hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone present quickly composed themselves and returned to the ground along the route they had taken.
At this moment, the once clear night sky was covered with dark clouds, completely obscuring the moon and stars, making the entire unfamiliar land favored by the gods appear even darker and more profound.
"Your Majesty, don't you find this a bit strange?"
Feeling a sudden unease, Helena couldn't help but speak to Lei Xiao. (End of Chapter)
