Chapter 385 The hidden basement(1/2)

At Lei Xiao's signal, just as his subordinates stood up from the sofa one after another, preparing to go find the businesswoman Eya again.

Without any warning, the whole room suddenly experienced an unexpected vibration.

In an instant, the square plate on the coffee table, as well as the teapot and teacup next to it, began to tremble slightly, making a crisp sound of objects colliding.

After being a little surprised, Lei Xiao noticed.

Although this sudden shock was not strong, it was far from enough to make it difficult to stand firm.

But it started from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak, until it lasted for about more than a minute, and then it completely stopped.

Wait until everything returns to normal again.

Lei Xiao did not hesitate and signaled the subordinates around him to be on alert.

While facing the sassy female knight beside him, he asked: "Lin, is the situation just now consistent with your previous encounter?"

On the other side, I saw Lin pondering for a moment, and then responded: "Back to Lord Lord, it is almost completely different from the one I encountered before.

First, this time it lasted longer, but the tremor was less severe.

Secondly, there was no sound accompanied by a sharp object scratching through the wall."

"I see."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and murmured to himself: "It seems that there is little possibility of a connection between the two.

At this stage, it is better to investigate the source of this sudden vibration as soon as possible."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a rapid sound from the door not far away.

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao motioned to Huzhang and the others who had not shown up before to put on the invisibility cloak again, and motioned to Lin to open the door.

Immediately afterwards, Lin opened the door cautiously.

The figure of the short and fat businessman appeared at the door. His greasy and fat face was full of panic and he said: "Your Excellency, it's not good! We are trapped here!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of awe, and immediately asked: "What happened?"

"Your Excellency, you... you'd better come and see for yourself."

The short and fat businessman was obviously greatly shocked. After gesticulating with his fat hands for a few seconds, he didn't say anything.

He could only make a gesture to Lei Xiao to follow me, and then hurriedly walked in front to lead the way.

Just like that, close the door, follow the other person's footsteps, and move forward in the red-carpeted hotel corridor.

Not long after, Lei Xiao and his party arrived at the open-air balcony on this floor.

Because from this location, you can just see the entrance to Shanjing Principality, which is the scene at the pass.

In addition, this hotel is taller than ordinary buildings.

Therefore, Lei Xiao immediately noticed the abnormal situation there.

Observing carefully, you can only see the towering city wall.

It had already been covered by a thick cloud of sand and dust, which was overwhelming and the scale was astonishing.

At first glance, it looks like a huge sandstorm has occurred.

Seeing this scene, all the subordinates on our side couldn't help showing expressions of surprise and began to look at each other.

There is no doubt that this sudden change obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

However, things are far from that simple.

Next, Lei Xiao, who narrowed his eyes slightly, took further notice.

Amidst the dust in the distance, a large number of mountains and rocks have formed a solid roadblock, tightly blocking the road connecting Shanjing Principality to the outside world.

This huge barrier made of rocks is even much higher than the ten-meter-high city wall. It undoubtedly completely blocks the only way out of the city.

Of course, a roadblock of this scale would not have any effect on Lei Xiao and his party, all of whom were level three experts or above.

However, it is obviously more than enough to block ordinary residents.

"It turns out that this is the real reason why the room trembled just now..."

After a moment of surprise, Lin was seen standing next to Lei Xiao, her long eyelashes flickering, and she couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

"Your Excellency, there has been such a serious landslide here.

It seems that we won’t be able to leave for a while.”

On the other side, the pudgy businessman's mood gradually calmed down a bit.

Then he sighed heavily and said: "Oh, it's really bad luck for us to encounter such a natural disaster."

"Sir, when I came here just now, my subordinates had already observed it carefully.

The mountain structure here is compact, the vegetation is densely covered, and there are no traces of groundwater erosion.

Therefore, my subordinates judge that such a severe mountain collapse should not be caused by a natural disaster."

Immediately, Lin's sassy voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.

"So, if it's not a natural disaster, then it's a man-made disaster?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and murmured to himself: "I have to say, this sudden change is really unexpected.

It seems that there is a high possibility that we will be involved in some kind of dispute inexplicably."

"Man...man-made disaster?"

Hearing this, the short and fat businessman on the side had a frightened expression on his face and said tremblingly: "Your Excellency.

You mean...someone deliberately isolated this place from the outside world?!"

After speaking, the pudgy businessman swallowed subconsciously, and then said: "So, what exactly is the other party going to do?

You know, as far as I know, compared with the powerful Lengyan Kingdom and Holy Night Kingdom.

Although the strength of this Shanjing Principality is negligible, it still has a garrison strength of 5,000 people.

It’s impossible for anyone to plan to fight against such a force, or even prepare to capture this city, right?!”

"At this stage, the specific situation is still difficult to determine." Wei Wei shook his head, Lei Xiao responded.

While speaking, his gaze moved and fell on the street under the open-air balcony.

At this moment, the streets that were bustling just now have become deserted.

Only a few groups of young soldiers in light armor, fully armed and solemn-looking, were left, trotting past in a hurry.

It seems that the entire city has entered an emergency state of comprehensive martial law.

Noticing this, Lei Xiao took steps towards the room and said to the short and fat businessman: "Okay, let's go back first."

In this way, after returning to the room just now, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and said to the pudgy businessman who was still frightened: "At present, everything is still unclear.

Instruct everyone in the caravan not to step out of the room, and leave the rest to me."

"I understand, please be extremely careful!" On the other side, the short and fat businessman immediately nodded and trotted back to his room.

When the figure of the pudgy businessman completely disappeared in front of him, Lei Xiao and Lin also put on the invisibility cloak again one after another, and triggered the invisibility ring to hide their aura.

At this point, the eight people currently in office are all in a state of invisibility.

"Lord, the situation here seems to be getting more and more complicated."

A rough voice sounded, and the tiger stick bowed slightly, and then said: "When we were on the open balcony just now, my subordinates investigated carefully.

I found that there was no aura of other new strong men around, so it seems that the unknown opponent obviously used some kind of method to hide the aura."

Having said this, a look of solemnity appeared on Huzhang's face again, and he cupped his fists and said, "But please don't worry, Lord.

No matter what monster comes, my subordinates will crush it completely."

On the other side, other Ye Cang, Chao Yan and others also nodded their heads one after another, with firm expressions on their faces.

"Very good." Lei Xiao nodded slightly to the subordinates beside him and closed the door again.

While speaking to the subordinates beside him, he said: "Okay, according to the original plan, let's go see what the businesswoman Eya is doing first."

After leaving the hotel, Lei Xiao immediately asked Sean and other members of the Pterodactyl Knight team for their location.

It was learned that they were following the traces left by the Sky Pterosaur and marching all the way into the mountains. They had traveled nearly ten kilometers and had already left the area around the city.

Therefore, the vibrations and sounds of the mountain collapse were not noticed.

"Understood, continue to concentrate on the work of collecting the mount. If there are other arrangements, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Just when Lei Xiao had just stopped talking.

Chaoyan's somewhat confused voice came over: "Lord, Sean and others are still far away from the pass, so they can't hear the sound of the mountain collapsing. It's normal.

But just now we were so close to the scene of the incident, but we still didn't hear any sound.

The sound insulation effect of the building here is also a bit too good, right?"
