The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The frozen bullet shot from the muzzle of the king instantly hit two inches below the sacrificial knife, causing a monster with a lion head and a horse body to escape from its invisible state, and its body was immediately covered by the strong ice energy from the spiritual energy bullet. It was frozen and unable to move, and the piercing bullets that followed easily hit the frozen monster and penetrated its body.

However, the monster was captured by various methods, and a fatal attack was launched against it. The anti-sneak attack was successful, but Leo did not relax at all, and continued to shoot with his gun.

I saw that he shot four bursting bullets with the body of the King Dynasty monster, and four piercing bullets with the Queen at the monster's head, and then stopped after exhausting all the bullets in the spiritual weapon, and quickly Use special bullets to bring the two psionic weapons into ammunition.

After changing the ammunition, although the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the still frozen monster, Leo did not continue to shoot, but was just on guard, because judging from the normal situation, there was no survivor of the monster at this moment. possible.

In the attack just now, except for the initial freezing bullet and penetrating bullet, the other four explosive bullets all landed on the monster's body, almost breaking the monster's body in half, while the other four piercing bullets The bullets all hit the monster's head, punching four pairs of holes in its head.

With such a serious injury, as long as it is a normal creature, there is no possibility of survival, but the existence of this world itself is not normal, so Leo still dare not relax, after all, he has no idea what kind of incredible abilities the monsters in this world have. As far as we know, maybe some dream spirits have the ability to regenerate.

According to Leo's previous experience, if the spirit of the dream died, it should be burned by black flames and turned into black smoke, but now even though this monster looks completely dead, the body has never been so Leo changed as expected.

"Could it be because of the sacrificial knife?" Leo realized something was wrong when he still didn't notice any movement from the corpse after a while. He stepped forward carefully, checked the corpse, and found that the monster was already dead. .

Although the invisible monster that could avoid the spirit net and spirit vision was successfully dealt with, Leo did not show an overly happy expression, but instead showed a puzzled look.

"Is it this monster?" A question appeared in Leo's mind.

I don't know if it's because the whole process is so smooth and easy. Leo always feels that even if he doesn't use all his psionic skills, he can easily solve this problem simply by relying on his supernormal sensory state of perfect control ability. monster.

If you look at it this way, this monster shouldn't pose any threat to a strong man like the wasteland shaman Stamped.

However, Leo couldn't find traces of other monsters around, which made him very confused.

"Find the wasteland shaman first." Leo, who didn't find anything abnormal, could only temporarily put his doubts aside, and put his mind back on the wasteland shaman.

Leo put away the two pistols, walked to the corpse of the monster, and when he was about to pull out the Gemini sacrificial knife, he hesitated a little, and finally put his hand on the handle of the sacrificial knife.

However, what had happened to him during the previous sacrifice of the Eye of Truth did not occur, and his spirit was not forcibly drawn into the warp of the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness.

However, Leo quickly guessed that this might be because the sacrifice was too low-class. After all, the last sacrifice was just one step away from becoming an Omega-level biological spirit, but now it is just an ordinary dream creature in the dream world. Spirit, that's why the sacrifice failed.

This is a good thing for him. After all, he has been worrying about sacrifices when using Gemini. Now that he has a sacrifice standard, he can use it without crossing the sacrifice line. Use Gemini freely, especially the sacrificial knife mode with the greatest power of Gemini.

However, when Leo inferred the situation after drawing out the sacrificial knife, the corpse of the monster in front of him was immediately turned into ashes without being burned by fire, and he saw a piece of it in the ashes carefully. Fist-sized heart.

Seeing this scene, Leo returned the twins to the glove mode, then picked up the big heart on the ground, and saw the sub-brain system prompts such as "found high-energy matter, which cannot be absorbed" in his eyes.

Seeing the heart in his hand, Leo also gradually understood why the night watchman organization here was able to supply a large amount of special bullets after the popularization of firearms.

Obviously, under normal circumstances, after the dream spirits here are killed, they will be directly turned into ashes as before. There will be no black fire or black smoke, and only a piece of high-energy matter will remain.

This kind of high-energy substance happens to be an important material for making special bullets, and in this nightmare world, as long as people in Velen World still have nightmares, then the dream spirits here will continue to appear, and high-energy substances will also be used. Inexhaustible, inexhaustible.

After putting away the heart, Leo began to conduct a carpet search according to the range indicated by the leaves, and soon he found that a tree was somewhat different from the surrounding trees. Although this tree is distorted like other trees, its overall shape is still distorted in a somewhat regular way, not as weird as other trees, which makes people feel horrified when they look at it.

Leo went up to check it out, and soon through the perfect control of the five supernormal senses, he heard the very faint sound of heartbeat and breathing at the root of the tree, and smelled a faint smell of blood.

He immediately pulled up the floating soil under the tree, and soon saw that the root of the tree was in the shape of an egg, criss-crossed and woven into a protective net. He was lying there wounded.

Leo stepped forward to pull out the root of the tree, but before his hand touched the root, a powerful invisible force field emanated from the root and blocked him. He froze for a moment, thought of something, reached out and took out the leaf, and leaned it towards the root of the tree. At this moment, the root of the tree moved away to the two sides, revealing a hole.

After getting in through the tree hole and carrying the wasteland shaman out, Leo put him on the ground gently, then checked his injuries a little, and found that they were just some flesh wounds, so he took out a bottle of healing potion and fed it to him go down.

After drinking the potion, the effect of the potion came into effect very quickly, and the injuries on Scarlett's body gradually recovered, and his originally weak breath also recovered a little bit, and he also began to show signs of awakening.

However, Leo found that although the wasteland shaman's physical injuries had recovered, he found that his spiritual energy was still very weak through spiritual vision observation. weak.

After a while, with the sound of heavy breathing, Luantao woke up from the coma, saw Leo sitting opposite with a smile on his face, and said: "It's a good thing I gave you the leaves, otherwise, I really don't know what to do now?"

"How could this be?" Leo asked in a deep voice, "With your strength, you shouldn't be able to..."

"This world is too weird." Before Leo could finish asking, he stamped his hooves slightly, sat up from the ground, and said solemnly: "There is no natural force in this world, everything is unnatural existence, my The power is suppressed very low."

"This world itself is not formed naturally. You should also know that this is a dream world. Everything here comes from illusion. How can things formed from illusion be natural?" Finally, he also expressed his point of view, and carefully explained the news he heard from Valentin and the monsters he encountered when he came here to look for him.

After hearing that there is still human civilization in this Nightmare Realm, and there are wizards and night watchmen, there is an unbelievable expression on his face, but then when he hears Leo describe those monsters, he has a very different feeling. He froze abruptly, pondered for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"What did you think of?" Leo naturally noticed the change in the expression of the wasteland shaman, and asked immediately.

"You're right, everything here comes from illusion." Stunning Hooves said, he stood up from the ground and put his hand on the tree that had protected him before. I saw that the twisted tree gradually retracted, as if it was growing backwards, and finally completely degenerated into the walking stick he was holding in his hand before.

The wasteland shaman swept away a fallen leaf on the ground with his cane, and then he didn't know what he was looking for. He looked down on the ground and asked, "Did you find that all the monsters you killed in the forest have a common thing?" point?"

Leo didn't understand why Frightened Hooves asked this question, but he still answered truthfully: "They are all monsters that have appeared in legends and myths."

"That's right, they are all monsters in legends and myths." Frightened Hoof stamped his head and nodded, and then said shockingly: "But to be more correct, none of them are real monsters."

Leo frowned and said, "No, Yubato is not..."

"It's fake, the skull in the Museum of Natural History of the Maris Kingdom is fake." Stunning Hoof shook his head, and said, "That thing is a fake thing made by the wizard's assembly, but no one who knows it intends to expose it. .All the monsters you killed are not real, they are all fictional monsters in various legends of Velen, none of them are real, and these monsters most often appear in nursery rhymes.” As he spoke, he pointed to the He swept away the ground exposed by the fallen leaves, and said, "And you didn't find it? There are no insects here."

Leo froze for a moment, and soon discovered this unusual thing. It is reasonable to say that any world, or more correctly, any real world, if there are living things, insects must be an indispensable species , the absence of any insects is in itself convincing evidence of the falsity of the world.

Leo pondered for a moment, and said, "If this world was created through the dreams of Velen humans, then..."

"It doesn't have to be a dream of a human being." Stamped Hoof corrected Leo's words, "It may also be a dream of a god."

After finishing speaking, he found a random place to sit down, then took out some herbs from the package and swallowed them in his mouth, resting and recovering.

At this time, Leo realized that with the ancient heritage of the wasteland wizard, he must know more mysteries related to the world of Velen, such as the mysteries of the gods.

So, Leo, who had those omega-level creatures in his mind, pretended not to know, and asked: "Does this world really have gods? I saw a monster called a god in the hunting ground outside Miria City. It's just that it's hard for me to see it as a god."

"I know the monster you're talking about, the Eye of Truth, right?" Frightened Hooves did know something that even the old man Rembrandt didn't know. When Leo mentioned the location, he immediately thought of the answer.

Leo nodded and said, "That's right, it's the Eye of Reality, a big eyeball with tentacles."

"It's not yet a god, but it's only one step away from the gods." Stunned and said solemnly: "Since you have experienced it yourself, tell me, is it very powerful?"

Leo said truthfully: "It is indeed very powerful. If it completes the final descent ceremony, I may just be like an ant that can be crushed to death in front of it."

Stunned, he didn't ask about the details at that time, and said: "It was sealed there by four ancient wizards and an ancient god named Mother of the Nests together more than seven hundred years ago. That seal can continuously absorb and wear away its energy. Strength, strengthen yourself. More than seven hundred years have passed, and the constantly weakened Eye of Truth still has such a powerful power, you can know how strong it was back then. However, even such a powerful Eye of Truth Eyes, in front of the real gods, you are like ants in front of the real eyes that have been weakened for seven hundred years."

Leo couldn't help asking again: "Since the gods are so powerful, why are they all gone now? Don't they have any interest in this world?"

"Your thinking is fundamentally wrong. What you value is nothing to the gods." Shocked and shook his head, he explained to Leo: "In your eyes, our world is very important, because only You exist only when the world exists. In the eyes of the gods, our world is not worth mentioning. Maybe it is just a grain of sand on the beach. Maybe the gods will pay attention to this grain of sand because it is very beautiful, but this kind of attention is not worth mentioning. It won't last long, just looked at it for a while, and the moment of looking at it has been thousands of years for us. So now the gods haven't left, they just don't pay attention to us anymore."

Hearing the words of the wasteland shaman, Leo suddenly felt something was wrong, because he found that the gods in the mouth of Stunning Hooves seemed to be somewhat different from the gods he was thinking now, not the same concept.

So, he immediately asked: "Why do I feel that the gods you mentioned are somewhat different from the gods I think..."

"It's a little different, isn't it?" Frightened Hooves obviously knew what Leo was thinking. As soon as Leo opened his mouth, he knew what Leo was going to ask, and he replied very straightforwardly: "The gods I said , It is indeed different from the gods you think of. In fact, there are many kinds of gods. The Orthodox Holy See had already divided the gods more than a thousand years ago, but they divided them into too many types, too detailed, and too complicated. , I’m afraid even their own theologians can’t figure out the things about gods. We just need to follow their original division and classify gods into two categories, righteous gods and evil gods, that is, ancient gods and outer gods.”

"Ancient God, Outer God?" Leo became interested when he heard two new terms.
