Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong-Chapter 943 - 593: The Strange Rustling Sound_1
Chapter 943 -593: The Strange Rustling Sound_1
It was a strange rustling sound, mixed with the noise of gravel rubbing and water splattering… No matter what kind of sound it was, it was clearly deliberately suppressed, sounding extremely bizarre.
Noticing the sudden strange noise, Leo Ray and his subordinates, who were on the move, all halted in their tracks with serious expressions.
It had to be said that in this empty and spacious unfamiliar dungeon passage, the sudden faint noise was especially eye-catching.
Shortly after, under Leo Ray’s gesture.
A line of people with solemn expressions began to slowly move to the right side of the passage, quietly standing near the edge of the cave wall.
Previously, when going forward, the group had been staying to the right in this vast underground passage.
Although everyone wore invisibility cloaks, capable of perfectly hiding them visually, there was still the risk of being discovered by their opponents.
In this way, should a large group of Goblins pass through, they could quickly avoid them by moving to the cave wall side, so as not to bump into the other party’s soldiers directly.
After all, Leo Ray’s purpose on this journey was not to completely eliminate this unknown Goblin tribe but to search for Benson’s whereabouts; working in secret was ultimately more convenient than working in the open.
“During our visit to the City Lord’s Mansion earlier, the Deputy General who received us tried to make everything appear normal, but when it came to Benson, his worried expression couldn’t be hidden.”
Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully as he continued to ponder: “The distance between here and Dragon’s Lair is not very far, and it’s indeed unusual to have not returned for three days if it were a simple reconnaissance mission.”
Hence, it was very possible that the “Skull-Crushing Madman” had encountered some unexpected event.”
Reaching this point in his thoughts, Leo Ray returned his focus to the current situation.
In addition to finding Benson, he now faced another thorny problem: the sudden appearance of the bizarre noise.
At this moment, surrounded by his subordinates, Leo Ray noticed even more.
Besides the occasional ethereal dripping sound coming from the cave wall close to his back.
The sudden rustling noise became increasingly clear and distinct.
This meant that the source of the sound was slowly approaching them.
However, even with the night vision effect provided by his [Star Pupil], the area directly in front of Leo Ray was still empty.
This undoubtedly showed that the opponent, like them, was also in a state of invisibility.
Realizing this, Leo Ray’s subordinates couldn’t help but share puzzled looks with one another.
They had never encountered such a sudden development before.
At the same time, a huge question mark rose in the hearts of all present: “What exactly is making this noise?”
“I have to say that in this already weird environment, having such a bizarre noise appear without a visible source is really icing on the cake, making my hair stand on end.”
In the pitch-black dungeon passage, Leo Ray looked at the faint green glows emitted by the dark green crystals embedded in the cave wall and couldn’t help but smirk a little.
Next, Leo Ray shook his head lightly, shaking off those negative emotions from his mind, as his face turned serious again.
He first raised his index finger to his lips to signal his subordinates to observe quietly.

Then, his gaze moved to Taylor and Red Night, whose eyes he met with separately.
From the somewhat solemn gazes of the two, Leo Ray received their response: they hadn’t detected any energy fluctuations or aura from the source of the strange noise.
In other words, the invisible source of the bizarre noise hadn’t emitted any energy fluctuations.
Immediately after, Leo Ray looked at Bianca White, who lowered her eyebrows and shook her head helplessly.
This meant that there was no success in terms of scent either.Ultimately, Leo Ray lowered his gaze slightly and settled on the petite figures of Serena and Stella.
The twin sisters understood his intentions and pointed to their feet with their delicate fingers.
At this point, the answer was evident.
The sudden, rustling sound seemed to be footsteps.
“Footsteps? Is our opponent also wearing some kind of illusionary equipment, like an Invisibility Cloak?”
Just as Leo Ray was pondering, the rustling footsteps were already closing in on them.
At this moment, Leo Ray signaled his subordinates to be ready for battle while holding his breath and listening carefully.
From the slightly chaotic sounds, it seemed that the invisible opponent was not alone, nor was it a multi-legged Demon Beast. There was more than one person there.
The sound of friction from the gravel was the sound of shoes or soles coming into contact with the ground.
The splashing water sound came from stepping on the water droplets that seeped out from the walls and formed small puddles.
“So that’s it, it really is footsteps?”
Upon realizing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
Then, an irrepressible confusion surged onto Leo Ray’s face.
“If that’s the case, why isn’t there any energy fluctuation, scent, or smell? Is it a special Demon Beast that’s good at hiding, or is the opponent’s strength above that of Taylor and Red Night?”
“But even if they can’t be detected in terms of energy fluctuations, how could there be no flaw in terms of scent? You know, the rare Snow Wolf Clan is a very famous existence in terms of smell on the entire continent.”
At this thought, the confusion on Leo Ray’s face grew.
Meanwhile, he noticed that the source of the footsteps was located across from them on the left side of the cave passage.
Moreover, judging by the sounds of their footsteps, which were messy yet uniform, it seemed as though they had not noticed their presence.
In addition, the hard ground inside the cave was similar to cement, so it was impossible to tell from the footprints.
This fact had concealed Leo Ray’s group, and, to some extent, the other party as well.
“What’s the identity of the other party? If their strength exceeds Taylor and Red Night, they should be able to see through our Invisibility Cloak.”
“Since the other party didn’t see through our cloak, it means that their strength hasn’t reached Tier 5. Then why can’t Taylor and Red Night detect their energy fluctuations? It’s baffling.”
Just as Leo Ray thought this, the rustling footsteps gradually moved farther away from them, eventually disappearing in the far end of the passage they had come from.
“Never mind, since they’ve left, let’s keep moving. Right now, Benson’s whereabouts are unknown, so we’ll find him first.”
With his decision made, Leo Ray contacted Abigail and Amelia outside the cave through Mind Talk, warning them to be vigilant.
Of course, under these circumstances, Leo Ray didn’t directly mention anything.
Instead, he disconnected the Mind Talk shortly after connecting it. This was a prearranged signal between Leo Ray and his subordinates for when it was not convenient to speak.
With everything in place, Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates and made a gesture to continue moving forward.
However, they hadn’t walked far when something even more unexpected occurred.
