The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 259 The Unknown Hunter

When Su's affirmative judgment came to his ears behind him, Leo also had a trace of suspicion in his heart. Judging from all the circumstances, it was obvious that Su had some kind of unknown connection with the last family of the God of Darkness. That's why Su was able to know the whereabouts of that family member, the physical condition of that family member, and the plan and arrangement of that family member.

Leo didn't ask Su further why he was so sure, because he knew very well that even if he asked, the other party might not answer, so instead of asking some questions that would not have an answer, it is better to discuss something useful, such as hands-on The details of dealing with that family member and so on.

However, before Leo could speak, Su suddenly came out from behind him, walked to the edge of the road, looked down into the abyss outside, his face was full of doubts and surprises.

"What's wrong?" Leo also walked over and asked in a deep voice.

"Just now I felt like there was something below." Su responded, but said with some uncertainty: "But it might be a hallucination! Now I haven't found anything abnormal."

"No, it's not necessarily an illusion!" Although Leo couldn't see the situation in the abyss, he didn't think Su's feeling was wrong, because when he looked down at the bottomless abyss, the power of gluttony Suddenly there was a desire to eat, and it was obvious that there was something hidden in the darkness that could not be seen in the abyss below that could trigger the appetite of the chaotic stomach.

"What did you discover?" Due to the limitations of the surrounding forces, Su was a little unconfident about his bloodline talent.

"There is indeed something down there, but I can't see it clearly. I just don't know if it's dangerous?" Leo, guided by the power of gluttony, felt that the thing that aroused his appetite was heading towards the place that had finished its rest and was ready to move on. The fleeing team moved over, so he said: "It should be directed at them." Then, he turned to Su and asked, "Will you take action when something happens over there?"

"What about you?" Su asked back.

"I promise the Web Weavers to eliminate the threat approaching the fleeing team." Leo did not answer directly.

Hearing Leo's words, Su closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something, then smiled and said: "You don't need to make a move, someone will do it, you just need to calmly watch and see the strength of the person who makes the move. "

Hearing the words, Leo quickly understood the meaning of Su's words, his eyes fell on those refugees looming in the path on the mountain wall in the distance, and he didn't say anything more.

As the fleeing team continued to move forward, Leo and Su also followed behind, but with Leo's simplicity, the distance between them and the fleeing people was a little closer, which made it easier to observe the situation of the fleeing team, even if there was an accident. Also be able to shoot in time.

Because the distance was shortened, the refugees at the end of the line only needed to look back to see these two people who were a bit out of place with the surrounding environment. But now these refugees are all concentrated, walking carefully on the mountain path, trying their best to avoid falling into the abyss of the cliff beside them, and they don't even have the mind to look back at the situation behind them.

Although Leo's attention is now on the fugitives in front of him, he also allocates part of his attention to the abyss outside the cliff. Because he can't expand his spiritual net, he can only use the supernormal five senses after his body has evolved to perceive Situation below the cliff.

Because of conscious perception, Leo did feel something from under the cliff very quickly.

The first thing to be captured is the breeze created by the churning of the airflow as the object moves.

As the unknown under the cliff moved, it created gusts of wind, which churned together to form an updraft. Although the airflow was very weak, it was still captured by Leo's sensitive tactile organs.

After capturing the breeze that formed the updraft, Leo followed the environmental analysis tactics he had learned before, and after analyzing and comparing his brain, he was able to roughly analyze the size of the unknown object moving on the cliff below.

After that, the subtle sounds captured by the auditory organs became another reference data for him to analyze unknown objects.

Because the special environment of the abyss has a strong echo effect, the various subtle sounds caused by unknown objects moving in other places will be quickly disturbed by the surrounding environment and then covered up. Even if Leo hears it, he can only hear it. There will be some noise. But here, under the special environment of high mountains on both sides and cliffs and abyss below, any slight sound will be amplified several times under the effect of echo, and the amplified sound is enough to be captured by Leo's extraordinary hearing.

With these two reference data, Leo has been able to analyze the specific situation of the following unknowns, or more correctly, the specific situation of the unknowns.

From the collected data, Leo analyzed that the unknown objects moving under the cliff are a group, about half the height of a person, with many legs, relying on the suction cups on the soles of their feet to grab the cliff, and possess a certain amount of wisdom, because they know how to convey information through sound. It's just that their intelligence is not high, and they haven't formed a complete language. They can only express very simple meanings through monosyllable sounds like some slightly intelligent beasts, such as moving forward, bypassing, and so on.

Although through the analysis results, Leo could not feel the danger of these unknown objects, but he did not take it lightly, because being able to survive and reproduce in such an environment, it can be seen that this group of unknown objects moving under the cliff has extraordinary strength. ability.

After the group of unknown objects moved to the cliff under the fleeing team, they did not attack, nor did they move out of the darkness of the abyss, but followed slowly in the depths of the abyss, as if hunters were waiting for the opportunity to catch their prey.

The fleeing team, who knew nothing about the dangerous situation, would take a break every ten minutes. Although it would take some time, it could guarantee that the team would not have any accidents due to lack of physical strength.

When the fleeing team was resting, the groups of unknown objects under the cliff also stopped to rest, and Leo also found that every time he stopped to rest, the number of those groups of unknown objects would increase, compared to the number when they were just discovered, Now it has increased by at least five or six times, and just before a break, it seemed that a big guy came under the cliff.

This big guy is a real big guy, at least about the size of a small house, because the airflow generated by it when it moves actually forms a whirlwind under the abyss, and this whirlwind is so strong, let alone Leo, even The ordinary people in front also felt it, and even caused a small commotion, scaring those people to cling to the mountain wall to avoid being swept out of the cliff by the rising whirlwind below.

Up to now, the group has been walking on this cliff trail for about several hours, and everything is going smoothly, without any danger.

At this time, there was a burst of moderate cheers from the crowd in front. Although the sound was not loud, it caused a small avalanche because it echoed on the mountain wall. Fortunately, the location of the avalanche was where the rear had already passed, and no casualties were caused, but this was enough to shut up those who were overjoyed.

The two people following behind the team naturally also heard the cheers, but they didn't seem happy because of the content of the cheers. On the contrary, they became more solemn. After looking at each other, they all looked down the cliff in unison.

The reason why the people at the front of the escape team cheered was because Barak, who was very familiar with this road, told them that they only needed to walk for another half an hour, and they would be able to get out of this high mountain and abyss, and both Leo and Su could feel the unknown under the abyss. If the group of objects has malicious intentions, it is almost about to do it.

It wasn't long before Leo and Su made their judgments, and they all heard the sound of "puff, puff" from the bottom of the cliff, followed by something that looked like flying catkins coming from the abyss. A stream of air floated up.

These flying catkins are very small, seemingly harmless, but Leo and Su didn't dare to underestimate them. They wrapped their bare heads, faces and hands with clothes respectively, and took out some burning objects to prepare When these flying catkins come close, light them to prevent the flying catkins from sticking to your body.

However, the preparations of the two of them were obviously useless, because the flying catkins seemed to be able to distinguish the target, and there was no sign of approaching the two of them at all. Instead, they all concentrated and floated towards the ordinary people who were fleeing. For the unknown group in the abyss, those ordinary people are a very eye-catching feast, and the two of them are just inconspicuous pre-dinner refreshments.

Seeing that Feixu was about to approach the fleeing team, Leo walked to the edge of the cliff, inspired the power of nightmare in his body, imitated a powerful flame witchcraft dragon's breath, and followed the dragon's breath above his head , forming a huge faucet phantom.

Although the psychic energy of Leo's body was restricted, because of the power of gluttony's resistance to the surrounding invisible suppressive forces, the higher power of the power of nightmare was freed from the bondage, and with the power of nightmare Imitation, he can cast any kind of witchcraft and magic that he knows, the only thing that restricts him is the capacity and recovery of the power of nightmare.

"Don't be so nervous, look!" Just as Leo was about to use the powerful flame witchcraft of dragon's breath to burn the flying catkins approaching the fleeing team, and to fulfill his promise to the web spinner, Su Walking to Leo's side, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the fleeing team ahead.

At the same time Su's voice fell, Leo felt a burst of cold breath coming from the fleeing team, this breath formed a biting cold wind blowing around, instantly freezing those flying catkins, turning them into some The ice chips prevented it from floating in the air and fell into the abyss.

Just after the cold wind passed, there was another kind of psionic energy fluctuation from the fleeing team, and this psionic energy fluctuation was very special. Leo once felt it from Hannah, the Lord of the Sky Church, and it should be the power of the sky. Some kind of identity-identifying magic of the Lord.

Just when this wave of psychic energy spread to the bottom of the cliff, all the abnormal sounds below the cliff suddenly stopped, as if the sound was turned off, but then a louder sound came from below, This sound is so loud that even ordinary people can hear it, but these sounds are not getting louder, but getting smaller and smaller. It feels like the groups of unknown objects under the cliff are fleeing deeper into the abyss. Returned to the original dead silence.

Leo stopped activating the power of nightmare, and the dragon head that appeared above his head when the dragon's breath technique was cast also dissipated because there was no follow-up power to support it.

Although the crisis of the fleeing team was resolved, Leo didn't have the slightest look of joy on his face, because just now, when the psychic wave of the Lord of the Sky's divine art was transmitted, he also felt the power contained in the psychic wave. No matter how powerful the power is, people with this kind of psychic energy fluctuations are at least level six psykers.

"Very powerful, right?" Su also felt the magical aura of the Lord of the Sky. She didn't seem to have any worries because of the strength of the target. Instead, she paid attention to Leo's current state of mind with great interest.

"It's really powerful." Leo nodded, and said to the confident Su, "You don't seem to be worried."

"It seems that you have also been deceived." Su smiled contemptuously, and said, "But you don't have to be troubled by it, because even the gods can be deceived, and even the divinity can be deceived."

Hearing this, Leo frowned and said, "You mean to say that the magical technique just now was fake?"

"Divinity is real, but it's not as powerful as it shows." Su explained: "If Mister was really so powerful, he wouldn't have taken the risk to leave his safe nest and run to the Dibia Mountains to find him Here’s a chance to get out of the predicament.” As she spoke, she smiled disdainfully, and said, “And this idiot actually forcibly used the magic that was stolen from the Lord of the Sky even though he possessed the divinity of the God of Darkness. Now he has suffered a lot."

Although the gods in the Velen world do not have that kind of absolute opposition, some gods are inherently mutually exclusive because of their own power. The Lord of the Sky and the God of Darkness are the most famous hostile gods. In the classics of the Orthodox Church, this hostile relationship is described as the confrontation between justice and evil, but in fact it is only because the divine powers possessed by the two gods are too close to produce unpredictable adverse reactions.

"I'm afraid the matter is not over yet." Leo suddenly pointed to the cliff and said, "There is still a big guy who is not scared."

Leo's words also caught Su's attention. She looked down into the abyss, but didn't see anything, which made her doubt the authenticity of Leo's words.

However, Leo didn't explain it either, because he couldn't explain it. After all, things like judging the shape of objects in the dark based on the size of the airflow are more mysterious than witchcraft and magic to people in the world of Velen. Power is harder to comprehend.

However, there is no need for Leo to explain, because the big guy hiding in the dark can no longer bear the instinctive desire of animal nature, emerges from the darkness, and appears out of sight of ordinary people, but it is enough to make Leo and Su Such a special person can clearly see the position, and seeing this big guy, even the well-informed Su couldn't help but gasp.
