The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Do you have some abilities beyond ordinary people?" Leo asked very directly after discovering that Jenkins had spiritual power in his body.

After hearing this, Jenkins' face changed suddenly, and he took several steps back, as if he wanted to completely hide himself in the darkness of the jungle, and his mood was as full of panic as his pale face full of fear. mood.

All along, he has never revealed his danger perception to the outside world, because he knows very well that once other people know about this ability, he will lose his freedom forever, because those dignitaries who covet the resources of the New World will catch him, Use his danger perception to find the way, until he dies it is impossible to let him go.

However, the person in front of him now easily revealed the biggest secret in his heart, which made him instantly lose his sense of security, and felt that he might be arrested and imprisoned in the next moment. There is only one thought in Li, and that is to escape here as soon as possible.

The intensity of panic shown by Jenkins also surprised Leo. In his opinion, his problem shouldn't have such a big negative impact.

When he found that Jenkins was looking for a way to escape, Leo comforted him through a special frequency voice: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your ability, although I don't know what your ability is, but your ability can compare Is that big tree even more magical?"

Listening to Leo's words and seeing the big tree Leo pointed at, Jenkins calmed down his fear very quickly. At the same time, he also felt that his behavior just now seemed a bit too ridiculous, and he felt that Leo's body I'm afraid he also has the same extraordinary power as himself, because just now Leo appeared under the big tree, and the corresponding reaction of the big tree all showed that Leo might not be simple.

"Perceive the danger." I don't know if it's because the two are of the same kind with extraordinary power, or because of other unknown reasons, but Jenkins, who was terrified of Leo just a moment ago, now regards Leo as a trusted companion, and Said his ability, said: "My ability is to perceive danger."

"Are you perceiving danger?" Leo said suddenly, "that is to say, those rumors about you are actually not good luck, but because you can perceive danger, so you avoided it in advance. As for other people, if you If they listen to your words, they will be safe, but if they don't listen, they will be in bad luck."

"It's not necessarily safe to listen to me." Jenkins smiled bitterly, and said awkwardly: "Sometimes the danger is too great to avoid, and I can only protect myself."

After finishing speaking, Jenkins realized that he had said something that shouldn't be said, his face became a little nervous, and he looked towards Leo, as if he wanted to see Leo's attitude towards his words.

Leo, on the other hand, was very calm, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of Jenkins' words, which made Jenkins heave a sigh of relief.

It's just that Jenkins didn't know that, although he didn't clarify the meaning of that sentence, Leo had already heard the meaning of his words. It was nothing more than some dangers that couldn't be avoided, so he needed bait to lure the danger away, and with him Those people who were together became the best bait, and Leo didn't comment on it.

"Aside from this ability, are there other abilities?" Leo asked again.

"No." Jenkins shook his head and asked, "Can I have two abilities?"

Leo didn't answer. He could sense that although the psychic power in Jenkins' body was not very strong, it was equivalent to a first-level psychic. It stands to reason that a psychic of this level would have many kinds of extraordinary powers, such as teleportation Things, such as psionic electric shock, etc., the physical fitness will also undergo a small evolution, and the overall becomes much stronger.

However, the physical fitness of this person in front of him is obviously only average, and his ability is not as many as that of a first-level psyker. Yes, so Leo guessed that after Jenkins' psychic power was stimulated, all the evolutionary direction of psychic power was shifted to the ability of danger perception, which made him have a third-level psychic power at the level of a first-level psyker. The perceptual talent of the capable.

Leo doesn't think that this kind of shifted psionic evolution is naturally formed, because under normal circumstances, the improvement and evolution of psionic abilities are all-round, and they will not be biased towards a certain aspect alone, only because of their own talent. The reason is that the ability in a certain aspect is stronger, so he feels that Jenkins's psychic power must have been interfered by external forces, but he doesn't know whether this interference comes from the laws of this world or from others.

"When did you have this ability?" Leo asked while thinking.

Jenkins seems to have completely regarded Leo as a trustworthy person, and told his secrets, saying: "I have had it since I was a child, but it was not obvious when I was in my hometown, and I could only vaguely feel some danger, but in the New World It will be different in the future, I can clearly feel where and what is dangerous, and I can also feel the strength of the danger."

"Can you even sense the strength of danger?" Leo was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Jenkins in surprise, because if Jenkins can really sense the strength of danger, then it represents Jenkins' talent for perceiving danger He has already reached the level of a fourth-level psyker. This is obviously a bit exaggerated. A first-level psyker has the talent of a fourth-level psyker. Even if it is serious, it is still an incredible thing.

"Your Excellency Leo, what ability do you have?" Jenkins also asked curiously at this time, but after asking, he seemed to feel that this was a bit inappropriate, and added: "Can you say it?"

"There's nothing bad to say." Leo smiled and said, "My ability can't compare with yours, it's just a little bluffing."

"Bloody?" Jenkins looked at Leo in confusion, and then he suddenly seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and he was so frightened that he stopped breathing, his feet went limp, and he sat on the ground, but very He soon recovered, and while panting, looked at Leo with a face full of shock, tremblingly said: "What happened just now, why does my danger perception, yes, feel that you are so scary, like... ..."

Jenkins couldn't find any words to describe it for a while, so he could only use the fear on his face to express his feeling just now. If the fear that the big tree gave him before was at level ten, then the fear that Leo gave him was one. Level 100, although Leo didn't change anything just now, but at that moment, in his danger perception, Leo was the most dangerous existence, not only more dangerous than the big tree, but also more dangerous than the tree he had seen before. All the scary objects that have passed, such as ghost ships.

Leo casually explained the process of releasing the momentum of his life form just now, and said: "This is just to scare people, and there is no real harm."

In the camp of the Pioneering Group, after some experiments, Leo discovered that although this world has almost an absolute suppression effect on any unleashed extraordinary power, it does not have any suppression effect on the life breath and spiritual momentum belonging to its own life form, so It also allows him to easily use his demigod life form to suppress all life forms below him, and this also makes him think of the abyss serpent who came to this world, even if the abyss serpent does not use his powerful physical body With his life level, he can easily control the indigenous tribes in the New World.

Jenkins had already had a strong sense of trust and intimacy because of Leo's special audio guidance before, but the current life form suppression completely defeated his psychological defenses, and made him feel Leo from the bottom of his heart. The emotions of admiration and fear have already surrendered to Leo unconsciously.

So after Leo asked him questions, he also answered seriously, without any concealment. At first, Leo just asked about Jenkins' ability, and then the topic gradually shifted to other things, such as his years in the New World. experience and so on.

During the conversation, Jenkins was completely focused on answering Leo's inquiry, and he didn't notice any abnormal changes around him. He could still hear the sound of heavy rain hitting the branches and leaves of the trees, but the place where he and Leo were There was no rain at all, as if their place had become a rainwater insulation ground.

If he has the ability to clearly see the staggered pattern of branches and leaves above his head, he will be able to find that the branches and leaves above his head are like aqueducts, guiding all the rainwater falling on the top to other places, so that the surrounding areas directly below Leo There will be no rain falling in the zone, and the only one who can undoubtedly do this is the big tree next to it.

"Your mission is to explore this area?" Leo naturally knew the changes around him, he didn't care, because Jenkins' words made him more interested, especially after Jenkins explained his mission, he asked again: " Did you ask for it, or did Joe arrange it?"

"It was arranged by Joe." Jenkins didn't understand why Leo asked this question, but he replied truthfully: "I have cooperated with Joe several times, and he knows my ability, so he thinks that I can act alone."

Regarding Jenkins' answer, Leo just smiled and said nothing.

Although on the surface, as Jenkins said, there is no problem with Joe's arrangement, but when you think about it carefully, you know that this arrangement is hidden, because if it is true, as Jenkins said, Joe has cooperated with him several times, And knowing his ability, then Joe should keep him by his side now, and use him to avoid the danger of exploring the jungle, but Joe sent such an important person alone, which is obviously abnormal.

If Leo's expectations are not bad, Joe should attack the people he is leading now. As for how to attack, Leo is not clear for the time being. He just thinks it may have something to do with the Paho tribe. After all, Joe should be secretly with the Paho tribe. Be cooperative.

Leo is not interested in knowing what Joe is going to do, he just needs Joe not to affect his own affairs, and now for Leo, it is in his interest for Joe to send Jenkins to this area. It's not because Jenkins is so useful, but the map that Jenkins brought is useful to Leo. After all, the location of the Mumu tribe has been marked on the map.

When he learned that Leo wanted to see the map, Jenkins immediately took out the map he got from Joe and handed it to Leo.

Leo took it and looked at it, and found that although the map was very simple, important information was marked, and there were also some unexpected information marked, such as the clear location of the gathering place where the transactions between the indigenous tribes were held. It is marked on the map, and coincidentally, the meeting place is not far from the location of the Mumu tribe. It seems that it should be jointly established by several surrounding tribes such as the Mumu and Paho tribes. I just don’t know if this meeting place is now Abandoned due to migration of indigenous tribes.

"I'll go here tomorrow," Leo said, pointing to the location of the Mumu tribe marked on the map, "You'd better go to the meeting place you agreed with Joe, don't continue exploring inside, it might be more dangerous inside. "

Jenkins opened his mouth, wanting to tell Leo that he could help him and that he could walk with him, but recalling the situation just now, he swallowed the words again, because he knew very well that if he continued to go deep into the jungle, he would be with Leo. Being by Leo's side will only be a burden, so Leo's proposal is the most correct.

Thinking of this, he nodded, and then asked Leo if he had anything to say to Joe, but Leo said that he didn't need to say anything to Joe, and he didn't even need to tell Joe, the two had met.

The jungle in the early morning did not make people feel cool. On the contrary, because of the heavy rain the night before, the jungle became extremely humid and hot. The fog in the jungle had already covered the tops of the trees, completely blocking the sunlight, which made people under the trees The darkness of the night is not much different from that of the night.

Leo, who had been separated from Jenkins, did not immediately go deep into the jungle where the shepherds were. Instead, he picked a branch of appropriate thickness from the big tree and made it into a walking stick.

This cane is not a shaman's cane, not even a strange thing, but an ordinary cane, and the unusual thing about the cane is that the material used is the most beautiful among the many branches of this tree that produces wisdom. A tree with a strong breath of life, through Leo's traditional method of using the natural shaman, this breath of life can be preserved in the stick, which makes the stick can be used as a clone of the tree. I believe that with this stick, The breath of life exuded can save a lot of unnecessary troubles on Leo's road.

As for this big tree, Leo didn't cut off its branch for nothing. Afterwards, he took out a potion prepared with the formula of a natural shaman, and poured it on the root of the big tree. This bottle of potion was used The shepherd potion formula was modified to promote plant growth. It was originally used by Leo to cultivate the rare medicinal materials needed, and now it is suitable for this big tree. Although it is impossible for this bottle of potion to cause any qualitative change in the growth of this big tree, some elements related to tree shepherds contained in the potion can help this big tree evolve. Maybe in the future this big tree that has already produced wisdom will be able to It might even transform into a real tree shepherd.
