Before Sina's words had even finished, a series of deafening magical explosions suddenly erupted not far away, triggering a violent surge of energy waves.

Upon hearing the sound, Leo Ray and the two leaders tensed their expressions and immediately rushed to the scene of the incident.

When they arrived, Leo Ray noticed that the explosion had left a deep pit in the ground, with scattered charred limbs and bodies still smoldering.

Seeing Leo Ray and the others arrive, an elder of the swamp fishmen rushed forward to Sina and reported: "Apologies, Lord Leader, it was my poor command that led two clansmen to step into the enemy's magic traps!"

"It's not your fault, everyone stay still, it seems this place is still filled with deadly dangers!"

Sina waved her hand, frowning as she warned.

Meanwhile, Leo Ray immediately took out a stack of Tier 6 detection scrolls, instructing the surrounding strong individuals to activate and check.

Sure enough, as the energy waves rippled out, the outlines of numerous magic traps emerged, densely spread around our positions.

In the process, Leo Ray further noticed.

As the dust settled, the appearance of this underground space was revealed.

It was clear the ground here was paved with neat bricks, as were the walls, indicating it was not naturally formed but rather an ancient and time-worn underground city.

Moreover, from the patterns engraved on the walls, it was easy to see this wasn't an ancient relic from the Era of Blankness but was indeed from the alliance forces destroyed by the witch demon.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, this place is full of traps, we must return to the surface first!"

Sina's solemn voice sounded, and Loris chimed in: "That's right, as long as we create a magic stairway, returning to the surface will not be difficult!"

"You're right, we'll act immediately."

Leo Ray waved his hand, and under the leadership of Crisis and Fanny, the earth attribute strong individuals began chanting, and a spacious and solid magic stairway quickly took shape, rapidly extending towards the surface.

However, just as the magic stairway reached halfway, it suddenly came to an abrupt stop, causing Crisis and the spellcasters to exchange puzzled looks.

"Your Majesty, an invisible barrier is blocking the spell's execution, we'll go and check it out."

Crisis saluted Leo Ray, then she and Fanny flew straight towards the place where the stairway halted.

But as they neared the location, both Crisis and Fanny's fair faces showed a trace of pain, even the frequency of their wing flaps slowed, and only when they dropped to a lower altitude away from that position, did they return to normal.

"Your Majesty, the gravity imprisonment array hasn't dissipated, but is suspended in mid-air, preventing us from advancing any further."

Fanny landed again before Leo Ray, frowning as she spoke: "Indeed, it is this gravity imprisonment array that halted the stairway's formation!"

"So the invisible barrier was the sudden gravity array, the opponent's strategy is quite clever indeed."

Loris snorted coldly, saying: "It seems if we want to return to the surface, we'll first have to find a way to break the gravity array."

"But this gravity array is so powerful, and its coverage range so extensive, the source definitely isn't here, the opponent must have prepared for a long time."

Sina gently stroked her white chin, pondering: "In such a situation, locating and destroying the array eye will be extremely difficult."

Just as everyone was contemplating the next move, countless bone spears and arrows suddenly fell from the sky, overwhelming our position.

Especially as they passed through the gravity array, the speed of those bone spears and arrows increased further, almost in the blink of an eye, they were right upon us!

Our strong individuals instinctively countered, but like the magic stairway before, they were easily blocked by the gravity barrier, unable to reach the opponent even slightly.

In an instant, boiling killing intent and thick death energy surged, shaking the heart of every one of our strong individuals.

From the surging energy fluctuations, it was easy to see that the opponent's attacks were all above Tier 5, posing a lethal threat to us!

"Lord's Shelter!"

At Leo Ray's indication, Little Jie instantly expanded the absolute defense barrier, with close cooperation from our strong individuals to power the barrier, only then barely blocking the opponent's fierce attacks.

Looking up, the ground was already crowded with witch demons and undead armies, causing dense bone spears and arrow rain to continuously and crazily roar towards us.

"The path we came has been completely blocked."

Leo Ray looked at the dimly lit absolute defense barrier overhead, then at the pitch-black depths of the underground city, saying: "It seems we only have one choice left, to forge ahead into the unknown."

Upon hearing Leo Ray's words, both Sina and Loris nodded in agreement.

Whether from the gravity array or from the witch demons and undead gathering on the ground, the opponent's intentions have become all too clear.

It was to drive us towards the depths of the underground city, which is likely already set up with an inescapable net.

But currently, we're at the brink of life and death, if we don't continue advancing, once the absolute defense barrier collapses, the result will be complete annihilation.

So, despite the uncertainty ahead, we only have this one choice left.

"Those damned bastards!"

Loris clenched his fists until they cracked, but ultimately released them helplessly, while Sina looked the same, starting to assist in the removal of front-row magic traps under Leo Ray's command.

Unlike the two leaders, Leo Ray's eyes remained as firm as steel.

The reason he chose to delve into this unknown underground city was also extremely important, which was to find the weakened Stone of God.

Judging from the current situation, that Stone of God must have awakened accidentally during the opponent's activation of the gravity array, potentially offering some help.

Since there's no other choice, let's create a brand new option.

It didn't take long, with the concerted effort of our strong individuals and the assistance of high-tier detection scrolls, the magic traps ahead were swiftly cleared, and we were out of the opponent's attack range.

Facing our departure, those witch demons and undead on the ground had no reaction, just coldly watching it unfold, further proving the opponent already had the next plan.

Upon completely entering the unfamiliar underground city, Leo Ray noticed.

The space here was exceedingly large, each passageway broad to the point where our grand army of ten thousand didn't seem crowded, had it not been for the wall engravings of normal size, Leo Ray might have thought it was a creation of the Titan Clan.

Despite this place being very ancient, with numerous cracks appearing on stone walls and the ground, and inferior craftsmanship, but from a scale perspective, it was not inferior to ancient relics from the Era of Blankness.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, if I'm not mistaken, back in the day, this capital area was the last place conquered by the witch demon, and after incorporating it, the witch demon completely destroyed the city on the ground, unexpectedly, there was such a massive structure hidden underground."

Sina's beautiful eyes were filled with wonder, marveling: "Back then, this allied power was the overlord of all third-class forces, had it remained, it would have grown into a colossal entity."

"Too bad they don't know why they were targeted by the witch demon."

Loris shrugged and said: "There's even records in ancient books that their greed for strength led them to awaken the slumbering witch demon, which ultimately doomed them, as before this, in the thousand years up to the Era of Blankness, the witch demon hardly ever appeared."

"It seems there's an untold story here."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, looking towards the depths of the passage ahead.
