Looking at the solemn expressions of his subordinates, Lei Xiao took a deep breath with the same expression on his face.

Just now, he discovered that both the city return crystal and the teleportation crystal were in an unusable state. The situation was just like when he met Wang Xi at the place where his ancestors slept in Luolong City.

Furthermore, Hong Ye had already reported it when she was just teleported here.

This place is completely different from the ordinary barrier area. There is no way to sense the entrance to the normal space, let alone opening it to leave.

Therefore, in addition to finding the Lord of Hod City, his next action goal is to find the space passage out of here.

Otherwise, what he and his surrounding subordinates would face would be to be trapped here indefinitely.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.

I have to say that the current situation is indeed quite serious.

Even though his space bracelet stores a large amount of food, drinking water, and various daily necessities, it's like carrying a supermarket with you.

But what I lack most is time, so naturally I can't waste it here casually.

"But, then again, as I just said, light must have shadows, and where there are shadows, there must be dawn."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "Maybe I can find some unexpected gains in this huge city built by an unknown race."

Realizing this, Lei Xiao's frown relaxed again.

Then he spoke to the subordinates beside him: "Everyone, judging from the current situation, this place has obviously been abandoned for a long time. However, the strange energy fluctuations still permeating the air show that this place is anything but ordinary. , everything must be done with caution.”

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and the sharp Rolandel suddenly appeared on his palm.

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

On the other side, all the subordinates bowed together and also clenched the weapons in their hands.

"very good."

With a slight nod, Lei Xiao immediately took his own steps surrounded by his subordinates.

Next, under the bright sunshine, they walked straight out of this huge square. Lei Xiao and his group of twelve people came to a spacious street next to the square.

"The outside world is a hazy night, but inside the barrier area is a bright day. This feeling is really special."

Smiling helplessly, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and began to observe left and right.

At a glance, it was just like what I had seen before, and I saw this strange street.

Except for the piles of curled and dry old fallen leaves beside the emerald green trees on both sides of the road.

There is an empty look everywhere, which makes people feel desolate and desolate from the bottom of their hearts.

"Such a complex of buildings with extraordinary artistic achievements has now become an empty city. What happened here back then? That caused the residents to leave their homes one after another?"

Looking at the exquisite scenery engraved on the exposed pillars of the surrounding buildings, Ariel couldn't help but exclaimed in wonder.

"There are no traces of destruction here, no traces of any war, and no traces of being petrified... Moreover, the exquisiteness of this barrier area itself is even more astonishing."

On the other side, Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully: "It is really incredible to abandon such a majestic city for no reason."

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Just as the two said, before this, whether it was the ruins of the light elves or the enchantment area of ​​the winged people that we had explored, they were either almost completely destroyed, or they were all petrified and forced to stop functioning.

It was indeed the first time for him to encounter this deserted city with no traces of war.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao waved his hand, his eyes fell on a large pure white building next to him, and he said, "Okay, let's go and take a look at the building next to it."

In this way, Lei Xiao climbed up the exquisite stone stairs, walked into the open stone door, and came to the building to notice.

This is a hall like the foyer of an art museum. The walls are inlaid with a large number of bright crystal stones, making the entire space brightly lit.

On both sides of the hall, there are two rows of cylindrical pillars engraved with lifelike statues of maids. The vivid expressions on the stone faces look alive, as if they might move at any time.

In the center, there is a small dry fountain and pool. The figures and scenes carved on it are so miraculous that people can't help but marvel.

All in all, although the white walls here are not inlaid with the gorgeous gold textures common in human nations, there are no hanging oil paintings and other decorations, and they are even covered with a thick layer of floating dust everywhere.

But among the simplicity, it reveals an ultimate magnificence, giving people an inexplicable feeling of relaxation and joy.

"Lord, there is no breath of any living thing here, but there are still strange energy fluctuations in the air."

After a while, Hong Ye's somewhat puzzled voice rang in Lei Xiao's ears: "This kind of strange energy fluctuations permeate all over the city. It seems to have no source, and it seems to have sources everywhere. It's really confusing. Incomprehensible."

"It seems that there must be something fishy in this."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the only closed stone door on the side of the hall, and then said: "Let's go there and have a look."

When he reached the gate, Lei Xiao took further notice.

This is a heavy stone double door with images of two maids engraved on it. Other than that, there is nothing unusual about it.

"Lord, the strange energy fluctuations coming from here are much stronger than those in the hall. Leave it to your subordinates to open it."

At this time, Hong Ye's fair and slender hands were already covered with sharp crimson claws, looking like she was ready to attack at any time.

"Caution comes first."

Nodding to the stern-looking dragon woman, Lei Xiao took a few steps back.

Then, with a "squeak" sound, the seemingly heavy stone door was pushed open by Hong Ye as easily as a light wooden door.

However, an even more shocking picture is yet to come.

This should be a large dormitory, with more than thirty single beds neatly arranged, although the light in the room is very dim.

But through the brilliant light coming from the hall, Lei Xiao, who was standing behind Hongye, could still clearly see that on every bed, there was clearly a figure covered with a quilt lying on it!

If you observe carefully, you can clearly see it from the faces of many figures nearby.

These people are all young women with smooth and translucent skin, and their eyes are closed tightly under the long eyelashes, as if they are asleep.

"There are actually people in this deserted city?!"

After noticing this, a great momentum suddenly burst out from the main subordinates, and a handful of brilliant and shining weapons were also ready to go.

"Wait, something is weird."

A rough voice sounded, and the tiger stick who had been guarding Lei Xiao frowned slightly and said: "There is no breath of life in such a figure!"

"Senior Knotweed is right."

I saw a glimmer of light flashing on Ye Cang's gold-rimmed glasses, and he echoed: "These people not only have no breath of life, but also no breath of death. They are obviously not from the human race."

After a pause, Ye Cang added: "No, to be precise, these people are not living beings at all!"

"If you feel it carefully, it is indeed the case. There is no aura of the golem and the puppet. It doesn't look like it was summoned."

On the other side, Chaoyan, who was holding the staff tightly, saw his whitened fingers regain some color. He frowned and said, "So, these are just ordinary simulation dolls?"

"No, it's not that simple."

Hong Ye, who had been standing at the front but said nothing, suddenly said: "The weak and strange energy fluctuations filling the air are emanating from these things!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.

The frequency of this kind of energy fluctuation permeated in the air was slow and waveless. Although Lei Xiao could vaguely sense it, he could not figure out its source.

After all, this kind of energy fluctuation is extremely weak. In the air mixed with various energy particles, it is like a piece of gravel rolling in the waves, which has long been separated from its original position.

"Hongye, are you sure? If it's just an ordinary simulation doll, how can it emit energy fluctuations?"

After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao immediately asked.

"Back to Lord, although this kind of energy fluctuation is extremely strange and changeable, after blending into the air, it is like raindrops falling from the sky. It is difficult to locate its true source and the energy fluctuations emitted by ordinary creatures. They are very different, but after all, there are certain rules.”

Turning around and bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Hongye looked solemn and confirmed: "From this, my subordinates concluded that these dolls are by no means ordinary things, or in other words, they are something that I have never heard of or seen before. Creation!"

"A created thing that even you have never seen?"

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then said to the subordinates: "Let's go and see other places."

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

After saluting Lei Xiao in unison, the subordinates immediately began to take action.

In this way, Lei Xiao and his group explored several buildings on this block one after another with half doubt and half curiosity.

After some careful investigation, Lei Xiao discovered.

All kinds of infrastructure here are available, no different from ordinary cities.

However, all public places, including pubs, restaurants, and hotels, are empty, and the food has long been rotten to the point that it cannot be seen in its original appearance.

There are only all kinds of dolls lying on the beds in various residences, including men, women, old and young.

As for the clothing of these dolls under the quilt, they are light-colored silk white cloth robes. They are just ordinary clothes, not equipment that can be upgraded.

In addition, Lei Xiao also noticed in surprise.

Each of these seemingly sleeping dolls has a unique appearance.

Observed up close, whether it is the touch of the skin or every hair, they are no different from ordinary people, making it difficult to tell.

Of course, the most important point is that Hong Ye has confirmed that each doll is exuding that kind of weird energy fluctuations.

Lei Xiao is naturally relieved about Hong Ye's keen perception.

After all, his true form is from the Dragon Clan, one of the recognized overlords of the mainland, and he is also a powerful fifth-level magician and martial artist.

"Are these dolls the residents of this city?"

After walking out of another private house, Chaoyan's fair face was full of confusion.

Then he murmured to himself: "It seems that this is not a city without people, but a city of dolls."

"But why do their makers do this?"

On the other side, Ariel, who had also just walked out, put her hands on her hips with a puzzled look on her face and said: "In such an exquisite barrier area, such a majestic city was built, and the residents in it are just some people who can't move. Doll? It’s simply unbelievable.”

"It's really puzzling, but it's obviously not that simple."

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao said with a stern expression: "Don't forget, ordinary dolls will not emit that kind of strange energy fluctuations."

"What the lord said is absolutely true. This place is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface."

Taking a deep breath, Hong Ye agreed: "If this is not what my subordinates expected, there is definitely a shocking secret hidden here!"

"A shocking secret? It seems that things are getting more and more interesting."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao said: "Okay, let's move on..."

However, just when Lei Xiao's words had not completely fallen.

I saw Hongye's expression stern, and he suddenly looked at the roof of the building behind him. Then, the burly body of the knotweed shook and made the same action.

Noticing this scene, Lei Xiao also looked at it intently, but vaguely saw a black shadow flashing across the roof.

"Japanese knotweed, I leave it to you, Lord Lord!"

In the midst of the electric light and flint, Hong Ye's face was full of solemn expression, murderous intent suddenly overflowed in her starry eyes, and her crimson magic wings vibrated.

It immediately turned into a meteor with a red tail and exploded in the direction where the black shadow appeared just now.

The next second, a crisp sound of metal exchanges sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.

Following the sound, Hong Ye was already fighting a fierce battle with a black shadow on the roof.

In mid-air, sparks flew with fierce collisions of weapons one after another.

Because the movements of the two people were too fast, it was only after the fierce battle ended that the sudden black shadow gradually became clear in Lei Xiao's sight.

"Silk white robe, no human aura, strange energy fluctuations clearly emanating from the whole body..."

After noticing this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he murmured in his heart: "So Hong Ye's opponent is actually a doll that can be seen everywhere?!"
