Chapter 610: Chapter 430: Another Wave Arises_2
He then gratefully said, âIt was thanks to Your Excellency holding off the pressure here that we, who were in the middle of the front, did not suffer from being surrounded by those golem puppets.â
âLord, youâre too kind.â
Leo Ray smiled lightly and nodded, âOur exploration is a collaboration, so itâs only natural for me to do these trivial matters.â
âHaha, with Mr. Christopherâs words, I feel much more at ease.â
Upon hearing this, Asher Porter smiled and replied, âPlease wait a moment, Mr. Christopher. Once we finish regrouping, we will set off immediately.â
After speaking, Asher Porter, the Lord of Viennas City, walked towards the wounded soldiers.
Now, looking at the injured soldiers not far away, although it was not obvious on the surface, Asher Porter couldnât help but sigh slightly in his heart.
He remembered that at the auction, many Tier 4 nobles had attended.
It could be imagined that if one of these Tier 4 nobles had secured the exploration mission, the situation would not have been so bad.
After all, that young man named Christopher, although he had a good strength and practiced both martial and magical arts, was only at the Tier 3 level.
It should be known that the gap between Tier 3 and Tier 4 powerhouses was undoubtedly huge.
âHad I cooperated with the Grand Elder of the Blackwood Clan who had recently been promoted to Tier 4, I presume this exploration operation would have been much easier.â
With this thought in mind, Lord Asher couldnât help but shake his head and murmur in his heart, âIt seems that we were too hasty back then. If I had known, I wouldnât have explored these ruins with a youngster like Christopher.â
Thus, after a while and after Asher Porterâs arrangement.
Apart from carrying away the severely wounded soldiers, a mixed middle team of elite Tier 2 soldiers came to support.
At this point, the overall strength of the exploration team has not only been maintained but also enhanced.
Of course, due to the previous battle, everyone had consumed a great deal of energy.
So, taking this into account, the overall strength of the exploration team has not significantly increased.
Noticing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly. For him, all of this made no difference.
Next, after re-forming the horizontal exploration formation like before.
The nearly two hundred-strong exploration team continued to advance in the dark Titan Clan ruins under the illumination of the detection magic.
About ten minutes later, under the escort of the knights, Leo Ray noticed.
At this point, there was still no new discovery around the team other than the giant stone pillars on both sides that looked like high towers.
Only the regular footsteps of the exploration team and the crisp sounds of armor collision continued to linger around his ears.
âFrom the situation just now, it seems that the Giant Clan is not as bad at magic as I imagined.â
As he breathed in the musty air mixed with dust and moisture in the ruins, Leo Ray couldnât help but smirk.
He muttered to himself in his heart, âI wonder if there are other guardians of the ruins ahead? By the way, what is this huge building?â
Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this.
With the help of the Star Pupilâs night vision effect, a huge silhouette at least thirty meters tall suddenly appeared in front of him.
At this moment, although the limited night vision distance of the Star Pupil prevented Leo Ray from seeing the object in front of him clearly.
However, judging from the slightly blurred outline, it was obviously a tall and burly giant.
At this moment, under the illumination of the magic light, as if a high beam lamp.
Asher Porter and the others in front also seemed to have noticed the anomaly and stopped in their tracks.
âAll detection magic converges in the area directly in front of me!â
Following that, Asher Porterâs slightly tense command echoed.
Next, as beams of light gathered, the true face of the blurry giant in front was revealed to everyone.
Under the illumination of the detection magic, Leo Ray was finally able to confirm.
The object that had appeared in front of them was a huge humanoid statue.
Upon closer inspection, the thirty-meter-tall statue stood at the end of the space ahead and was a brawny and fierce male figure.And also, dressed in bare skin, their bodies covered with mountain-like bulging muscles, both hands holding a huge battle-axe.
At first glance, they looked like an upgraded, enlarged version of those stone soldiers they had just seen.
Especially on that huge, hairless head with a dense beard, their eyes wide open, even the exposed blue veins on their heads were clearly visible, looking extremely ferocious.
âBare-chested, holding battle-axes, hairless with long beards⊠this seems to be the war god statue of the Titan Tribe!â
Then, the old voice of Calvin, who suddenly realized, was transmitted to Leo Rayâs ear: âI know now, this is a temple of the Titan Tribe!â
âSo thatâs it, Master Calvin is truly knowledgeable and well-informed!â
âI didnât expect to see a temple of a foreign race, which counts as a worthy experience in life.â
âBeing so close to Viennas City, itâs unimaginable that there would be such a wonder undergroundâŠâ
Hearing that, the elite soldiersâ low murmurs of admiration rose and fell, as if the pressure accumulated on the way was released at this moment.
âLord, the little fellow is quite knowledgeable, this is indeed a temple of the Titan Tribe.â
At the same time, the crisp voice of Red Night passed into Leo Rayâs ear through the mind-talk.
With a slight nod, Leo Ray couldnât help but laugh helplessly, secretly pondering in his heart: âGood fellow, calling Old Mage Calvin a little fellow? However, it seems that there is nothing wrong with that for the long-lived Dragon Clan.â
At the same time, looking at the giant war god statue in front of them, the knights beside Leo Ray, like Tina and Layne, couldnât help but exclaim in astonishment.
Such a sight was indeed a rare scene for ordinary people to ever witness.
âI didnât expect to find such a complete Titan Tribe temple. It seems that this exploration will go down in history, and our names will be remembered for eternity!â
Immediately afterward, Calvinâs excited old voice came over again.
Then, City Lord Asherâs equally excited voice sounded: âAll soldiers, divide into small units and explore separately, carefully checking for any hidden doors or entrances!â
Without a doubt, as giants, the items used by the Titan Tribe were naturally extremely huge. If they could find such treasures, their value would be immeasurable!
Realizing this, Asherâs face showed his delight.
However, just as the atmosphere was filled with happiness and the soldiers were ready to act, a third unexpected change occurred.
Boom-boom-boomâŠ
This time, accompanied by deafening stone-grinding noises.
The earth shook violently like an earthquake.
Consecutively, eight huge blue magic arrays appeared out of thin air on the giant floor tiles around the exploration team.
Following that, the magic energy in the air suddenly became extremely chaotic.
A series of fierce gales formed by the turbulence of magical power swept through, causing everyone to stumble, barely able to open their eyes.
In the blink of an eye, when everyone on-site responded once again,
Eight 10-meter-tall stone giants, radiating a strong murderous aura, appeared in front of everyone.
From their appearance, these stone giants were no different from the previous stone soldiers, only that the weapons in their hands had been replaced with large, heavy stone hammers.
âForm shield formation!â
At this moment, some heavy infantry squads positioned right under one of the giants immediately formed a defensive formation under the guidance of a Tier 3 commander.
Boom!
The next second, the just-formed shield formation was easily smashed away by the stone giant, which was as tall as a three-story building, with its giant stone hammer.
They were scattered all over the place, utterly powerless to fight back.
âEight advanced magic puppets at the Tier 4 level?!â
Seeing this scene, City Lord Asherâs face turned pale and he almost collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, Gael, Old Mage Calvin, and the knights around Leo Ray, like Tina, Tia, and Layne, all revealed panicked expressions.
Without a doubt, this terrifying power equivalent to a Tier 5 powerhouse was clearly not a force they could contend with.
