The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

These ordinary people who fled only felt the frightening natural environment and a dangerous road, but Leo and the web spinner felt something more, which came from the abyss in front of them.

The surrounding towering mountains are like a natural isolation force field, sealing all the abnormalities in the abyss in the mountains. Even if you are standing at the exit of the cave, as long as your body does not come out of the mountain, you will not be able to feel the horror in the abyss. atmosphere.

The Web Weaver walked out of the cave some distance ahead of Leo. Before they could catch up with the fleeing team that had already walked up the mountain path, they all stood in place as if they had been hit by a hold spell. .

However, Leo, who was following behind, didn't realize what happened in front of him, so he followed behind and walked out of the cave, but just as he walked out of the cave with his front feet, before his back feet left the ground, he felt the surrounding world A horrible breath and a suffocating spiritual energy fluctuation.

"Omega-level advanced creature!" Almost at the same time he felt the terrifying aura, Leo made an almost instinctive judgment in his mind, and several images emerged, the golden giant deer, the turbid and light master, and The mysterious presence felt in the warp that inspires psionic entry.

Although the current wave of spiritual energy is much weaker than those of the three, this wave of spiritual energy is obviously more real and closer, and it feels completely different to Leo's mind and body.

When Leo saw the golden giant deer, he just waited and watched from a far away place. Coupled with the special place like the Black Forest Wonderland, he felt more of the spiritual shock brought by that kind of higher creature. As for the subspace that the mind inadvertently entered when psychic energy was activated, even if there was an existence that might be higher than the golden giant deer, he left the subspace before that existence appeared, and the feeling he got was very vague.

Only the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness met face to face, but at that time he was sent into that special environment by the power of the sacrificial knife, and he was protected by the power of the sacrificial knife, isolating any bad influence beyond the range of the soul. , the feeling is not so strong, not even as shocking as facing the incarnation of the real eye.

However, now that Leo is in this abyss surrounded by mountains, he can fully feel the invisible breath and spiritual energy fluctuations that only real Omega-level advanced creatures have. Compared with that day, the real eye is like There is no comparison between a colossal giant beast and an ant on the soles of its feet.

Leo raised his foot with difficulty, and slowly retreated to the cave behind. The moment he retreated into the cave, the invisible breath and spiritual energy fluctuations that were pressing on his body like a mountain just before were all gone in an instant. It disappeared, and he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and had to hold on to the rock wall of the cave to stand firm in place.

After recovering a little bit of strength, Leo couldn't help but look towards the web weavers who were still suppressed by the psychic energy fluctuations and powerful aura. He could see that the situation of the web weavers was also very bad at the moment, so he immediately went from the storage space. He took out a previously prepared climbing rope, made a simple loop, threw it out, caught the net weavers, and pulled them back into the cave.

When the invisible pressure disappeared from the web weavers, those web weavers performed worse than Leo. They all lay limp on the ground as if their bones had been removed, panting loudly, and even one of the web weavers The victim couldn't control his current body, his hands and feet became longer, his head mutated, and he began to transform into a spider-like appearance.

Although the original form of the Web Weaver is ugly and terrifying to human beings, Leo doesn't care about this weird form. Instead, he is interested in detecting the changes in the opponent's body through the spiritual net and other detection methods.

It's a pity that the other party's disguise is very clever. Even though the body returned to its original appearance, under the investigation of the spiritual network and witchcraft, except for the bones and human beings, the shape of other organs did not exceed the normal shape of human organs. And there should be no change in function.

Leo, unable to obtain more secrets of the Web Weaver, no longer wasted time on the Web Weaver, and turned his attention to the mountains and abyss outside. At this time, the fleeing team in the distance happened to disappear at a corner of the mountain path, completely disappearing from Leo's sight.

Compared to Leo and the Web Weaver, those ordinary people are very weak, but it is also because of their weakness that the spiritual energy and breath emerging from the abyss cannot affect them in any way. This is like the ants under human feet. Even though humans are countless times bigger than ants and can easily crush them to death, ants will not have any fear when facing humans, and they will not even perceive the existence of humans.

Leo turned his head and looked at the Weaver again. He found that he also suffered from the unknown psionic fluctuations and powerful aura in the abyss, but the Weaver was obviously more affected. Judging from the current situation, the Weaver Netizens may take a long time to fully recover.

Compared with the web weavers, Leo's situation is obviously much better, but in a few minutes, the adverse effects of spiritual energy fluctuations and biological breaths on him have disappeared, and he feels that his blood has an abnormal surge. And along with the surging blood, there was an eagerness in his heart that drove him to walk out of the cave.

This time, he walked very carefully, and stopped immediately after feeling the wave of psionic energy and the breath of a higher creature. Just like before, he was also suppressed and unable to move, but compared to the panic just now, at this moment He was much calmer, and while trying to adapt to the pressure that fell on him, he was also observing the subtle changes in his body under this external pressure.

The first reaction is the heart and blood. The external pressure not only makes the heart beat more favorably, but also has a faster frequency. Under the strong pressure of the heart, the blood flows through the blood vessels at a speed several times higher than normal. The blood vessels also swelled several times, which directly made Leo show a hideous appearance with blue veins emerging.

Although Leo looked painful on the outside, he was actually very relaxed, because with the surge of blood, a powerful force was generated from the blood to help him offset the pressure on his body. And not only the unknown blood in his body reacted, even the power of nightmare in his body began to surge, what's more, the chaotic stomach sac also began to produce some changes beyond Leo's expectations under the stimulation of this external force, For example, it produces a non-spiritual energy similar to the power of blood and the power of nightmare.

For a time, Leo's own psionic energy, blood power, nightmare power and the unknown power generated by the chaotic stomach sac simultaneously operated in a balanced state in his body and soul, just like a celestial planet , are independent of each other, yet influence each other.

At the moment when the two forces originating from the unknown bloodline and the chaotic stomach sac were generated, some information about the two forces also appeared in Leo's brain at the same time.

There is very little information about the power of blood, and the information directly injected into the brain made Leo understand that this power of blood should be called the power of shadow. Some special effects, and more importantly, this is not the real power of this unknown bloodline on Leo's body, but the power that is automatically generated after the bloodline is affected after Leo created the shadow witch.

This also made Leo more interested in the uncontrolled unknown bloodlines on his body. After all, he could create a special power that could perfectly assist the bloodline owner's abilities. The power of this bloodline power was amazing.

Compared with the uncontrollable blood power with profound potential, the power produced by the chaotic stomach pouch is much worse. Of course, this difference is only relative. The power generated is actually higher and stronger than the power of shadows.

The power generated by the chaotic stomach pouch is called the power of gluttony. It is not like the power of shadow, but it is the name Leo himself gave based on the details of the power effect in the information he obtained. When information related to this power appears in the brain, the name Power of Gluttony appears at the top of all the information, and this power has only one function, which is to strengthen the function of the chaotic stomach pouch, so that it can only absorb The chaotic stomach pouch of ordinary food and ordinary high-energy substances has the ability to digest more substances, such as the remains of some higher organisms that could not be digested before, and so on.

Although it seems that the ability of this kind of power is very simple and has no effect on improving combat power, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you can feel that the level of this kind of power is very high, and it can digest the remains of Omega-level advanced creatures, which means It can also digest Omega-level higher organisms, which means that the lowest level of this kind of power is also Omega-level.

After obtaining the information about the power of gluttony, Leo couldn't help recalling the empty subspace he entered when he first obtained the Chaos Stomach Sac, thinking of this unknown world that feeds on Omega-level advanced creatures. How powerful existence is, and such a powerful existence cannot escape the day of extinction in the end, I can't help but feel some inexplicable emotion in my heart.

"Uncontrollable emotions! It's really a trouble." Leo clearly felt the changes in his emotions, knowing that this was the result of unknown changes in his body and soul, although he did not dislike this kind of mind that had never existed before. experience, but I still have some resistance to this inexplicable emotion, and I haven't fully adapted to it.

In addition to strengthening the digestive ability of the chaotic stomach, the power of gluttony also has an invisible effect, that is, it can resist the spiritual energy fluctuations and the breath of higher creatures that fall on Leo's body. Although this resistance cannot completely offset the adverse reaction caused by the existence of the abyss, it can greatly weaken this adverse reaction. Coupled with the combined effect of the other three forces, he is no longer what he was just now. Being imprisoned so hard to move an inch, he was able to walk like a normal person, but it was a little strenuous.

Feeling that the body changes caused by external pressure had stopped, Leo walked back and forth near the entrance of the cave to take notes, then walked to the edge of the abyss cliff and looked down. Although he had activated his spiritual vision skills, giving his eyes the power of night vision and farsightedness, he still couldn't see the bottom of the abyss. He didn't know what was at the bottom of the abyss, but he was certain that the unknown existence at the bottom of the abyss would not take the initiative to attack, and he even felt that the existence at the bottom of the abyss might be dead.

They retreated from the edge of the cliff to the cave. At this time, the web weaver had almost recovered. They stood up from the ground, and the web weaver who had revealed his original shape also returned to his human form.

"Ba... To... Er..." Before Leo could ask, the Web Weaver took the initiative to say a name.

"Bator, the God of the Eagle?" Leo quickly realized who the name mentioned by the web weaver belonged to, so he confirmed it.

The Web Weaver nodded.

After getting an affirmative reply, Leo couldn't help but look towards the abyss outside the cave again, with shock and doubt written all over his face.

The god of the eagle, Bator, is the oldest deity recorded in the gods books compiled by the Orthodox Church. This most includes all the known gods confirmed by the Orthodox Church, such as the mother of all hives, the mother of plants, and other ancient gods. , can only be regarded as a junior in front of the eagle god Bator.

Of course, this kind of record of the Orthodox Church cannot be completely taken seriously, it can only be used as a reference. The reason why the Orthodox Church compiled the Canon of Gods in this way is because from some ancient relics that have been found, the archaeologists exclusive to the Orthodox Church discovered that the god of the eagle, Bator, was the earliest god served by humans, and the most important point is that the male god Baator, the God of Falcons, is now known as the Lord of the Sky.

The Church of the Lord of the Sky is one of the largest churches in the world of Velen. When other churches began to decline, the Church of the Lord of the Sky was still able to maintain a considerable influence and continued to expand the scope of the church's influence, because the Lord of the Sky When the clergy and devout believers of the church pray to the lord of the sky, they will get a response from the lord of the sky, and the magic that the lord of the sky bestows on the clergy of the church is also the most complete.

But now the main body of the Lord of the Sky, the eagle god Bator, is actually in the deep mountains of the Dibia Mountains, and it seems that he died here. If this news is spread, no one who hears it will be surprised. believe.

"Under the abyss is the body of the Lord of the Sky?" Leo calmed down and confirmed to the Weaver.

However, the web weaver shook his head, indicating that Leo's guess was wrong, and without waiting for Leo to continue to ask, he added: "Ba... Tor... Er... corpse..., no... ...is...the...lord of...the sky...the sky..."

"You mean to say that the body of Bartur is under the abyss, but not the body of the Lord of the Sky?" Leo quickly understood what the Weaver wanted to express.

The Weaver of the Web nodded, and at the same time looked at the abyss outside the cave full of doubts.

Seeing this response, Leo was a little confused, and asked, "Aren't the God of the Eagle and the Lord of the Sky the same god?"

"Yes..., also... no... yes..." The Web Weaver responded again.

It's just that his response not only didn't solve the doubts in Leo's heart, but made him even more confused.

The Web Weaver also saw that Leo didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't know how to explain it in human language, so he stretched out his finger and clicked on the spider tattoo on the back of Leo's hand, conveying his thoughts directly past.
