The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo, who had just recovered from the heavy blow from the tree man, looked at the living corpse in front of him with some doubts, guessing the identity of the other party in his heart.

When he was about to escape from the small garden just now, he finally failed to escape the attack of the tree man who was chasing him. Wounded by the tree man's attack.

It's just that the magic protective force field created by the Kunen Seal immediately disintegrated after being attacked by the tree man. When he hit the wall, he was unable to cast the Kunn Seal again, and the whole person hit the wall hard On the ground, while knocking down the wall, it also knocked him into a short state of shock.

Fortunately, his evolved body was strong enough and he didn't suffer too much damage, and he quickly recovered from the shock state. When he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw a living corpse with a strange appearance facing him. He grabbed it.

At that time, he grabbed the opponent's arm immediately, and at the same time wanted to smash the opponent's head with a punch.

But what surprised him was that the living corpse would show panic and fear, which also made him suspicious. Instead of making a move, he let go of the other party, distanced himself from the other party, and asked the other party's identity .

Just at this time, the other party also asked Leo with a voice with obvious rhythm, and through the special power of this place where everything ends, Leo easily understood the meaning expressed by the other party's voice, just like him.

After confirming that the other party was an intelligent life rather than a living corpse, Leo relaxed a bit, and then took the time to look in the direction of the small garden.

With the ordinary naked eye, the small garden is still the same small garden without any changes, but through his spiritual vision, Leo can see that the ancient war tree tree man standing in the small garden has shrunk dozens of times, but still looks huge. He stared at the edge of Leo, staring at Leo.

Despite such a long distance, Leo could still feel the tree man's anger and killing intent, but the edge of the small garden seemed to contain some kind of powerful force, which bound the tree man inside and couldn't rush out to chase and kill Leo .

Seeing that things were developing as he expected, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body also relaxed, and the exhaustion accumulated in his body instantly invaded, making him a little unstable and had to press against the wall to be able to Hold on tight.

Although it doesn't take much effort to perform the shadow jump, it requires concentration, and avoiding the attack of the tree man is like dancing on the tip of a knife. If you don't pay attention, you will be doomed. Reached the limit, even the spirit is always in a state of high concentration. In this state, all negative reactions were suppressed tightly, but now that you relax, the negative reactions that were suppressed before erupted immediately, making it impossible for Leo to withstand the impact in a short period of time even if he had a ninth-level willpower .

"Are you okay?" The living corpse who had been watching Leo saw something wrong with Leo's state, stepped forward to support Leo, and asked.

Leo had no intention of rejecting the living corpse. With the help of the other party, he sat on a chair in the room and took a short rest. After the discomfort in his body eased, he turned his head to look at the living corpse who was quietly standing aside, and said: " Who are you? Ember too?"

"Yes, my name is Joey, and I'm a living dead, which is what you call embers." The living corpse nodded, and then asked curiously, "Are you from Wangcheng?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary traveler." Leo gave a disappointing answer.

There was a slight look of disappointment in Joey's eyes, but soon he became excited and said something dancing, perhaps because of his excitement, his words were a bit incoherent.

However, Leo still heard from the words in the other party's words that the other party should be curious about the reason why Leo was able to knock down the stone wall and still be fine. Obviously, it was the first time he had seen a person unexpectedly With such a rigid body.

In this way, through the special power of the place where everything ends, two people from different worlds and using different languages ​​are talking and exchanging information, but the directions of the two inquiries are different, and the content of Leo's inquiries is more It was about the country and continent where Joey lived, while Joey asked more about the royal city.

Through the conversation, Leo knew that the continent where Joey is located is different from the continent where Theredor is. They are all ordinary people. Even if there are some powerful knights, the knights are still not beyond the limits of human beings. There is no magic, There are no extraordinary existences such as family members, but their continent has one thing in common with the continent where Seledor is located, that is, the continent where they are located also has a royal city, a royal city built and ruled by the gods.

This information also made Leo realize that there should be a similar royal city in the world of Velen he is in, but what puzzled him was that among all the religious, legends and mythological books he saw , there is no written record of anything similar.

But at this time, Leo couldn't help thinking of one thing. This thing was that when he saw the golden giant deer in the Black Forest, it seemed that there was a huge castle on top of the golden giant deer. He couldn't see clearly due to the height and the occlusion of clouds and mist. Thinking about it now, the castle seemed to be somewhat similar to the royal city, but it was shrunk down a lot.

Feeling that his body had almost recovered, Leo asked Joey, "Are you going with me, or are you going to stay here?"

"Let's go together." Joey was still in a state of excitement, and asked Leo: "Is that the prayer hall you are going to?"

"Yes." Leo nodded, stood up and prepared to leave, but he suddenly stopped and turned to look at a pile of rubble.

Joey followed Leo's line of sight, and suddenly thought that the weird statue he found before seemed to be buried in the pile of stones. Although he was a little bit reluctant to part with the statue, he knew something about the royal city from Leo, which was enough to compensate for the loss of the statue, not to mention that there might be something of higher value in the prayer hall that he was going to, so he was very happy. Generously told Leo about the statue.

"Human pus!" After hearing this, Leo quickly made a judgment. In fact, even if Joey didn't say anything, he could guess that human pus should be buried in the rubble, because the hunger conveyed by the chaotic stomach pouch It is the best proof.

Leo went to the pile of stones, cleaned them up, and soon found the statue of the abyss snake that Joey said. Although it was hit by many stones, the statue was not injured, and the person in the middle of the statue The pus was also intact.

Seeing the human pus in front of him, the hunger from the chaotic stomach sac became stronger, even far surpassing the human pus seen in the prayer hall.

But Leo was still able to suppress this hunger, and carefully checked the situation of this group of human pus. He found that this group of human pus seemed to be different from the human pus he had swallowed before. The pus appeared deeper, and if one watched it for a long time, an inexplicable power would emerge from his body, and this power was full of coldness, making him feel like he was in a world constructed at absolute zero.

In addition, this group of human pus seems to be able to evoke some greed and desire deep in his heart, so Leo's hunger will become more intense.

Leo didn't think much about it, he reached out and grabbed the mass of human pus in his hand, just like the previous human pus, after this mass of human pus touched Leo's palm, it immediately seeped into his palm Go in, but Leo, who has already experienced it, will naturally not wait until the human pus penetrates too deep, and directly use the power of gluttony to wrap up the human pus and swallow it quickly.

Joey on the side only saw that after Leo grabbed the black oily object, the object immediately penetrated into Leo's palm, and Leo's palm also turned black. Although Joey didn't know exactly what happened, he instinctively made the choice that was best for him, and quietly backed away to the side of the window. As long as he felt something was wrong, he would jump out of the window and escape. Ou is not in his consideration at all.

However, things changed quickly. The black oil substance on Leo's hands disappeared quickly, and the skin color of his palms returned to normal. Even his pale face due to exhaustion also recovered. Got a lot of energy.

"Are you okay? Mr. Leo." Seeing Leo stand up, Joey asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Leo smiled slightly, threw the useless Ouroboros statue to Joey, and said, "This thing is gone, you can take it and sell it as an antique curio It should be worth a lot of money.”

Joey took the statue and looked at it in his hand. For some reason, he felt that the statue was much older than before. Although the delicacy of the statue is weakened this time, it can increase the sense of time precipitation of the statue. Some sellers just like this kind of tone, and they may be able to sell it for an extraordinary high price at that time.

After putting the statue in the backpack, he followed Leo who had already walked outside, and left the villa together.

After that, the two walked quickly through the streets of the city and moved towards the prayer hall.

Although Joey followed Leo's footsteps and buried his head on the road, because there was no dangerous reason, he was able to distract himself and check the surrounding situation.

Soon he discovered that Leo seemed to know which road was the safest, and he encountered the fewest undead on the road he walked, and he also avoided a few unobvious crowds of undead on the street, and he was even able to move ahead of time. Spot the movement lines of the crowd of the living dead and bypass the road.

In addition, he also found that after only ten minutes of walking, he had already walked out of the small city he had explored before, and came to another strange city. This urban area not only has some living dead, but also many terrifying and unknown monsters, for example, some lie on the wall like spiders, and some hide in dark alleys and houses, attacking everyone who passes by.

These monsters, like the previous monster knights, are immune to Joey's disguise. As long as Joey gets close, he will be attacked by them, and every time they attack, they will be discovered by Leo who is rushing ahead in advance, and then be attacked by a group of monsters. Cut the long sword that appeared out of nowhere into pieces.

Along the way, the two of them remained silent, and came to the outside of the prayer hall without any surprise or danger.

After seeing the shape of the prayer hall, Joey was not disappointed, on the contrary, he was very excited, because a religious place like this should have a lot of items related to religious things, any item, even a candlestick, can be seen outside The auction price is probably sky-high. There is no doubt that he has made a lot of money this time.

Compared with Joey's excitement, Leo was a little puzzled, and his brows were slightly frowned, because he found that his spiritual network did not find anyone in the prayer hall, not even the fire girl.

With doubts in his heart, Leo cautiously turned the twins into the strongest sacrificial knife mode, signaled Joey who was following him to be careful, and then walked into the prayer hall.

Joey didn't understand why Leo became nervous when he arrived at the place, but he didn't question Leo's ability after seeing Leo's skills. Instead, he followed Leo carefully, his eyes scanning everywhere, and soon Found several spots that would provide hiding in case of accidents.

However, the expected attack and accident did not occur. After entering the prayer hall, Joey glanced around and found that there was no one in the prayer hall, and there were no knights, nuns, and fire guards as Leo said. Girl, wait, there is only a dying bonfire in the middle of the prayer hall.

However, unlike Joey's bewilderment, Leo seemed to see something new, his eyes stopped in certain places in the prayer hall from time to time, and many of the places he stayed were where he had prayed before. Hall where those people stay.

The reason why Leo behaved so strangely was because under his spiritual vision observation, he found that there was no one in the prayer hall. The fire girl and others he had seen before were all here, but they His body seemed to have turned into a blurry and transparent phantom.

It's as if two spaces are folded together. For some unknown reason, the light and shadow of one space is reflected in the other space, thus forming this mirage-like illusion.

It's just that not everyone in the other space can't see Leo's figure. When Leo walked to the side of the bonfire, the fire girl sitting next to the bonfire suddenly stood up from the ground, looking a little surprised. Looking at Leo, it was obvious that she was very surprised by Leo's current state, and she opened her mouth to say something, but Leo could neither hear the voice nor recognize what she said from the shape of her mouth.

The other people around were all confused by the behavior of the fire girl, and they came over to ask about the situation, but they couldn't see Leo, only the old man reading books sitting by the campfire could barely sense Leo's existence, and He also showed a look of surprise.
