Some time later, Lei Xiao and Jiang Li finished eating the sumptuous dinner sent by Ward.

The colorful light curtain shrouding the guardian's defense mechanism began to become dim, gradually turning into little energy particles that dispersed in the wind.

The outline of a giant building that was obviously much larger than before was displayed in front of Lei Xiao.

[Congratulations, your guardian defense mechanism has been upgraded to Lv: 9! 】

Listening to the familiar reminder, Lei Xiao, surrounded by Jiang Li, couldn't wait to step forward.

After walking around the upgraded guardian defense mechanism, Lei Xiao noticed with joy.

This large building, which was originally a regular octagon on the outside, has been expanded to a regular decagon, and there is still a huge closed door on each side.

At a glance, not only the volume of the building has obviously increased, but the entire body has become an indestructible all-metal structure.

I saw strips of deep black crystals inlaid on the frosted architectural metal surface. Even the faint blue cold light originally exuded on them turned into a deeper blue-black light.

"It's like a mysterious and unpredictable black castle."

Lei Xiao exclaimed as he opened the property bar of the building.

[Guardian Defense Agency Lv: 9]

[Owner: Lei Xiao "ID: 0013076067"]

[Number of Earth Guardians: 30/30]

[Number of Sky Guardians: 20/20]

[Building special effect 1: Guardian charging level 9 "can charge the guardian of the earth (sky), greatly shortening the charging time"]

[Building special effect 2: Guardian creation level 9 "If the guardian of the earth (sky) is destroyed, a new guardian of the earth (sky) can be created (CD: 1h)"]

[Building special effect three: Guardian optimization lv9 "When the guardian of the earth (sky) acts, energy consumption is reduced by 50%"]

[Materials required for upgrade: iron ore x900000, obsidian x200000, jet black magic crystal x50000, black source crystal x10000]

"Good guys, have the effectiveness of the three building special effects been greatly improved? Especially for Guardian creation, the CD cooldown has been directly shortened to 1 hour!"

"This undoubtedly means that even if the guardians are destroyed by the opponent, as long as I have a little breathing time, I can quickly replenish them!"

Lei Xiao's eyes wandered back and forth on the building attribute column, and the joy on his face was beyond words.

"The key thing is that not only did the number of earth guardians increase by 6, but the number of sky guardians more than doubled!"

"With the building upgraded two levels in a row, since the quantity has increased, then according to my expectation, the strength will also increase!"

With this in mind, Lei Xiao took steps and walked directly towards the miracle building.

As Lei Xiao advanced, the giant door on the nearest side quickly rose, giving a clear view of the environment inside the building.

Entering the building, Lei Xiao noticed.

Compared with the spacious hall that was directly visible before, this time there is a spacious corridor inside the door. At the end of the corridor, there is a second metal door blocking it.

"Not only has the outside become stronger, but has the internal safety factor also increased?"

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and quickly arrived at the end of the corridor.

With the opening of the second metal door, the familiar building hall was revealed in front of Lei Xiao.

In the spacious building hall, the most significant change is that the neatly arranged charging bases have been increased accordingly, and the blue and black deep lines flashing on the walls have become much deeper and more complex.

Looking at the rows of new guardians standing on the new charging bases, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Compared with the original stone guardians, the upgraded guardians have all turned into gray metal structures.

On the smooth metal surface, there are also strange blue and black runes engraved on it, which looks obviously much more powerful.

"Has your strength really improved?"

Lei Xiao quickly walked to the nearest guardian and opened the opponent's attribute bar.

[Name: Guardian of the Earth αη]

[Occupation: Advanced Demon-Breaking Warrior]

[Level: Level 4, One Star]

[Energy: 100%]

[Skill 1: Horizontal slash type llI "Active" (large range physical group attack, additional splash effect)]

[Skill 2: Fortress posture changed to "Active" (significantly improves own defense and can be moved)]

[Skill 3: Intermediate resistance barrier "Passive" (spell damage reduction 70%, physical damage reduction 30%)]

"The occupation has changed from "Demon Breaking Warrior" to "Advanced Demon Breaking Warrior". The strength has indeed reached level four and one star, and compared to before, all three skills have been greatly strengthened!"

Lei Xiao looked at the text introduction on the attribute column, his expression overflowing with joy, and then opened another attribute column of the Guardian of the Sky.

[Name: Guardian of the Sky]

[Occupation: Advanced Skyrim Warrior]

[Level: Level 4, One Star]

[Energy: 100%]

[Skill 1: Fatal Thrust Type Il "Active" (physical single target attack, additional puncture effect and armor-piercing effect)]

[Skill 2: Air Combat Stance "Active" (Significantly increases flight speed, moderately increases own speed)]

[Skill 3: Intermediate resistance barrier "Passive" (spell damage reduction 70%, physical damage reduction 30%)]

"Very good, 20 level four sky guardians are enough to make up for my lack of air combat power to a considerable extent!"

Lei Xiao closed the attribute bar and released all the other guardians in the space bracelet.

Accompanied by dazzling blue-black light pillars, they rose from the soles of these high-level demon puppets.

Not long after, these guardians all converted from stone structures to all-metal structures, and their strength was all upgraded to the fourth level and one star.

Looking at the 50 brand-new fourth-level combatants standing proudly in front of him, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.

This is a considerable force comparable to 5 ordinary legions.

Although it is still obviously insignificant compared to the current crisis, it can also be a good trump card at critical moments!

"Just like what I thought before, in the face of a huge enemy, although my strength is relatively limited each time, it is undeniable that I am getting stronger every moment."

"I hope this can also become a part of the fog and darkness, and finally bring a glimmer of victory to me, to this country, to the people and other lords on this land."

While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he put away all the guardians and walked out of the deep hall.

At this moment, a familiar prompt came to his ears again.

[Congratulations, your Light Healing Station has reached Level 5! 】

"Gracilaria, let's go over there and have a look."

As the reminder sounded, Lei Xiao nodded to the slender and beautiful half-elf beside him, and immediately quickened his pace.

Cloaked in the star-studded night, Lei Xiao came to the light healing center and observed.

This pure white temple-shaped building is rectangular in shape and has an isosceles triangle roof. Its volume has almost doubled compared to the previous one.

Around the main wall, the rows of standing bluestone pillars have also been transformed into bright and pure white.

I saw that the surface of each pure white stone pillar was inlaid with golden lines of crystal material that became more and more dazzling and bright, constantly exuding holy brilliance.

Under the holy golden light, the whole building looks not only giving people a solemn and sacred sense of solemnity, but also like a beautiful artistic masterpiece with uncanny craftsmanship.

"Lord, the upgraded Bright Healing Clinic is indeed extraordinary. Not only has its appearance changed, but even the outside world can feel its continuous healing power."

Jiang Li blinked her long eyelashes and couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration: "It is indeed the highest masterpiece of the light elves."

"That's right. After all, the light elves are all natural healers."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and the situation of the ruins of the Bright Elf clan next to Shen Banxia's territory that he was exploring at that time emerged in his mind, especially the mysterious depths of the Elf Dungeon.

Nowadays, even though he has many powerful men under his command, and his strength has already changed from what it used to be, he still cannot break the special seal of the elves.

"There must be some huge secret hidden in it, perhaps related to the blank era three thousand years ago."

"That's all, let's focus on the things at hand."

Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality and walked towards the main entrance of the healing center with Jiang Lei.

As the heavy stone door slowly opened, there was still a holy scene with golden light inside. In a daze, Lei Xiao could even hear the low chants echoing melodiously in his ears.

Entering the main hall of the splendid Guangming Healing Center, Lei Xiao was delighted to find out after some inspection.

The life force permeating here has obviously become stronger by several levels. The original six treatment rooms have been transformed into twelve, and the area of ​​each treatment room has more than doubled.

At the front of the hall, the lifelike statue of the goddess of light elves shone with golden light, surrounded by light energy particles visible to the naked eye.

"The continuously upgraded Bright Healing Center is indeed extraordinary. If all the space is used, it can heal thousands of people at the same time!"

"And judging from this richness, the treatment speed will be greatly improved!"

Feeling the ultimate comfort brought by the power of life, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the new building while being delighted.

[Light Healing Station Level: 5]
