Following the sound, Lei Xiao discovered.

I saw several groups of rangers wearing leather armor and holding short bows, emerging from the bushes with agility.

First, he saluted the city lord Orr respectfully, and then began to lead everyone's horses away.

The strength of these rangers are all above the second level. Judging from the Fanyin City coat of arms engraved on the leather armor, they are obviously soldiers under Orr's command.

The most important thing is that before walking out of the dense forest, these rangers did not emit any energy fluctuations.

From this, it is not difficult to see that there is undoubtedly some kind of hidden magic circle arranged in the dense forest.

Seeing this scene, Tina, Ryan and other knights beside Lei Xiao couldn't help but look slightly surprised.

Only Lei Xiao's face showed no trace of ripples.

Not long ago, when the cavalry began to march towards here.

The sisters Nan Xing and Nan Yue, who were hiding in the dark, had already accelerated their advance, explored the inside and outside of the dense forest in advance, and reported the situation to Lei Xiao.

Therefore, all of this is naturally within our control.

"This location is located in the middle and rear part of the mountain basin, forming a horn with the other two fortresses, which is very convenient for the two to come to support.

Furthermore, the soldiers in the dense forest are the most elite, so it seems that the real entrance to the ruins is undoubtedly here."

Lei Xiao just thought of this.

On the other side, Orr, the Lord of Fanyin City, first adjusted his blue robe, then turned back and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Chensha, please come with me.

The destination is not far ahead, and I believe you will be eye-opening by then."

At the same time, Gale on the side also nodded vaguely to Lei Xiao, indicating that there was no danger ahead.

"Oh? Then thank you, City Lord, for your hard work."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao also smiled faintly, and then took his own steps surrounded by ten knights, the knotweed hidden in the dark, Hong Ye and Ye Cang.

Just like that, after stepping on the ground mixed with leaves and soil, we entered the leafy dense forest.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes among the towering trees and twisted vines, a small earthen fortress in the forest appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

The area around this fortress was already filled with elite second-level soldiers from Fanyin City, about the size of three squadrons.

Among them, there are still the auras of seven or eight third-level senior and above powerful people.

I saw the sharp eyes of these elite soldiers, and their weapons that had been unsheathed and flashed with cold light were shining brightly in the sun. They were all in a ready posture.

At the front of the team was an old magician wearing a khaki robe and holding a long wooden staff. Judging from his aura, he had obviously reached the peak level of the third level.

Noticing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: "Judging from the current situation.

In order to prevent the mysterious organization from raiding again, Al, the lord of Fanyin City, obviously transferred most of the elite forces in the city here.

As for the ordinary garrison, judging from the situation just now, it is estimated that there are three to four thousand people.

In addition, according to Kelly's investigation, with Orr's heavy payment and repeated attempts to retain him.

The three fourth-level elderly magician mercenaries who appeared at the auction before, as well as other strong mercenaries, are also recuperating and stationed in the city, and can provide support at any time.

This shows that maximum precautions have undoubtedly been taken here.”

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao moved his eyes, looking up and down at the small fortress, while continuing to think: "The above.

Coupled with that time, our side suddenly took action and revealed the identity of the Leng Yan royal family, which made the other side fearful to a certain extent.

In this way, even if the mysterious organization wants to take action again, I am afraid it will be much more cautious."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

On the other side, Orr waved, first signaling the old earth-robed magician at the front to come forward.

Then he introduced to Lei Xiao: "Your Excellency Chensha, this is Master Calvin, our chief archaeological expert in Fanyin City."

Having said this, Orr gently patted the old magician on the shoulder and continued: "When Master Calvin was young.

He once served in the Ancient Relics Exploration Department of the royal family and has extremely rich archaeological experience and vast amounts of ancient knowledge.

He will assist us in a while to explore this ruins together."

"Haha, the city lord has given you the reward. I just walked a little longer than you all."

Bowing slightly to Orr, the old magician named Calvin smiled proudly.

"Then please leave it to Master Calvin."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded to the old magician and said: "I believe that I have the guidance of Master Calvin.

This trip to the ruins will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.”

"Haha, you are welcome, Mr. Chensha. It is my honor to explore the ruins with such a young and promising young noble."

On the other side, Calvin stroked his gray beard and responded with a smile.

Just like that, after chatting with the other party for a few words.

Lei Xiao's eyes refocused on the tall earthen fortress in front of him, and he smiled at Orr and said: "Your Excellency, City Lord.

Now is it time for us to see the true face of the ruins? Everyone can’t wait.”

Lei Xiao had seen the type of earthen fortress in front of him once before on the border battlefield. It was built using the fortification technique of earth magic.

Moreover, it cannot continue to exist without the supply of magic power.

From this, it can be seen that the real entrance to the ruins is obviously located in this fortress.

On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, Tina, Ryan and others on the side also nodded in anticipation.

"Of course. Don't be too surprised when the time comes."

Hearing this, City Lord Al smiled slightly, took out the staff from the storage ring, and nodded to old Calvin.

Next, I saw old Calvin's old face look stern, and the wooden staff in his hand suddenly glowed with an earthy yellow color.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rumbling sound.

In that airtight earthen fortress, a gate rose out of thin air, opening the way to the inside of the fortress.

At the same time, City Lord Orr's exploration team has also been assembled.

In addition to himself and Kelly's father Gale, these two fourth-level powerhouses, and the old magician Calvin who is at the peak of the third-level strength.

There is also an elite mixed second-level squadron, which includes not only magicians, archers, but also heavy infantry wearing heavy armor.

Moreover, there are also five commanders at the level of third-level senior experts.

"Okay, Lord Chensha, let's start moving forward."

At the gate of the earthen fortress, Orr waved the colorful staff in his hand and nodded to Lei Xiao again.

In this way, under the leadership of Fanyin City Lord Al, Kelly's president father Gale, and old archaeological expert Calvin.

Lei Xiao, Tina, Ryan and other ten knights, plus the knotweed hidden under the cloak, Hong Ye and Ye Cang entered the gate of this earthen fortress together.

The elite second-order mixed squadron was at the rear of the team.

Going straight to the dark interior of the fortress, under the light of the light crystal, Lei Xiao sniffed the slightly moist earthy smell around him and noticed.

After walking a few steps, some mottled blue ruins began to appear at the front of the team.

Among them, there are also several broken giant solid stone towers scattered, each with a cross-section and diameter close to ten meters, making it unclear what their specific purpose is.

However, judging from the remains of these buildings that are still stained with soil, it is obvious that they were only seen again not long ago.

"Your Excellency Chensha, when I was checking the progress of the exploration of the first ancient ruins, I used detection magic several times in succession. My original intention was to find out the context of the first ruins.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally discovered this place not far away, and there seemed to be a strange feedback."

At this time, a slightly aged middle-aged male voice sounded, and Orr, who was leading the team, turned his head slightly and began to introduce: "That's it, after a series of investigations.

I finally confirmed that there are indeed traces of ancient ruins here."

Orr nodded slightly, caressing the edge of a broken stone tower, and continued: "Originally, I concluded that this must be part of the first ruins of an unknown race.

After all, the two ruins are so close to each other. However, it was not until I found the entrance to the ruins that I realized how wrong I was..."

Having said this, Orr stopped and stood motionless, as if observing something.

On the other side, listening to Orr's description, the doubtful look on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious.

He had naturally thought about this issue just now.

Just like Orr said, at such a close distance.

According to common sense, no matter how you think about it, this second ancient ruins should be from the same race as the first ruins.

In other words, the two should originally be one.

From this, how does the other party define that these are two completely different ancient ruins?

Is it the architectural style of the ruins? The engraved reliefs? Or other clues?

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Following the footsteps of Orr and others, he had arrived at a giant circular pit.
