The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Not good!" Although the sacrificial knife was successfully inserted into the body of the high-level demon, there was no response when the sacrifice was activated. Leo immediately realized that something was wrong, pulled out the sacrificial knife, and cast a flash of spiritual power to instantly move to more than ten meters At the same time, he took out two mechanical grenades and directly activated them and threw them towards the previous position.

Leo's rich combat experience is far more reliable than powerful witchcraft in this situation. Just when he flashed ten meters away, a big hand suddenly came out of nowhere near where he was before. The fingers pierced through Leo's previous position like five spears and pierced into the body of the high-ranking demon.

If Leo hadn't retracted his hand in time to avoid it just now, these five fingers might have pierced Leo's body by now.

However, the high-ranking demon under attack at this moment didn't have any resistance, and just disappeared like a mist.

"Illusion!" Leo quickly realized that the high-ranking demon he had attacked before was just an illusion.

At this moment, the two mechanical grenades that Leo instinctively threw out exploded under the huge palm one after the other. Under the action of the superimposed force of the mechanical spring, the burst shrapnel became an extremely fierce Most of the sharp weapons fell on that big hand.

Before, the defenses of high-level demons that could not be pierced by psionic bullets would naturally not be broken by these shrapnel, but it had some impact on the surrounding psionic energy, making it impossible for high-level demons to immediately drill through the gaps in the space it created. come out.

Seeing this scene, Leo felt that this was an opportunity, so he used a speed movement technique on his feet without hesitation, and rushed to the vicinity of the big hand at a speed almost flashing, and the sacrificial knife in his hand pierced into it again. On the big hand, the sacrifice was activated at the same time.

The sacrifice this time was completely different from just now. When Leo activated the sacrificial knife, he felt an inexplicable power appear from the void and attached to the sacrificial knife. It's just that his spirit was not directly dragged into the void by the power of the sacrificial knife like the incarnation of the sacrificial eye of truth, in front of the lord of turbidity and lightness, and the sacrificial process ended soon, the high-ranking demon His arm also disappeared before him.

But the problem is that the high-level demon was not sacrificed, but appeared a hundred meters away in front of Leo, but his right hand had disappeared. It seems that when the sacrificial knife worked just now, the high-ranking demon also sensed the danger, and made the decisive decision of a strong man to cut off his arm, throwing away his arm and saving his life.

However, although the high demon lost an arm, it did not attack Leo immediately, but floated in the distance watching Leo, or more correctly, watching the sacrificial knife in Leo's hand.

For some reason, Leo could feel fear from the high demon's skeletal, expressionless face, and the fear was very strong.

In order to prove his idea, Leo took the sacrificial knife and slowly walked towards the high demon, and with the speed of his footsteps, the high demon also floated away from Leo, always with Leo. Keep a distance.

After confirming that the high-level demon is indeed the sacrificial knife in Fear's hand, and that the sacrificial knife can indeed cause fatal damage to the high-level demon, Leo's sub-brain system immediately began to adjust the battle plan. He was going to use the flash of psychic power to instantly move to the opponent's side, and then use the sacrificial knife to sacrifice. As for other attack methods such as psionic bullets and witchcraft, he would not use them again unless they were useful to restrict the opponent's actions.

It's just that Leo's plan was very good, but the other party's high-level demon with normal intelligence was not prepared to give Leo a chance to attack. When he felt that Leo wanted to attack, the figure of the high-level demon disappeared from Leo's face instantly. .

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't care whether the spiritual net would cause any adverse events, activated the spiritual net, enveloped the surrounding land within a range of 200 meters, and closely monitored everything around him including the fluctuation of spiritual energy. movement.

At this moment, Leo couldn't figure out whether the high-ranking demon had escaped or was hiding in the dark to wait for an opportunity to attack. The only thing he could do was to be careful and wait for the dawn, and he didn't dare to distract himself from doing other things at all. After sacrificing an arm of the high-level demon just now, he didn't check what benefits he brought to himself.

After that, the high-ranking demon seemed to have really left. When the sky turned bright and the other great demons in the distance were all turned into ashes and turned into skulls, the attack Leo was worried about still did not appear.

At this time, Leo turned off the spirit net, changed the sacrificial knife back to the glove mode, put away other weapons, and started to activate the personal data interface to see if there were any changes in himself after the sacrifice.

"What is this?" Leo saw that the various values ​​and items on the personal data interface did not change due to the sacrifice, but there was an extra line of text at the bottom of the interface, which was the same as other text on the interface. It's different, it's a text that Leo doesn't know, it can even be said to be a line of garbled characters, but when Leo's spirit notices this line of text, he can understand the meaning of this line of text.

Mongoya's gaze, this is the meaning of that line of gibberish characters.

Although from the literal meaning, it should be that Leo's previous sacrifice was noticed by the turbid and light master, and aroused his interest, so he paid a little attention to Leo.

It's just that it's not obvious what use this attention has for Leo. At least in terms of strength, Monggoya's gaze has no effect.

After exiting the personal data interface, Leo tried to use witchcraft and psionic skills to see if there was any additional effect of Mongolya's gaze, but the result was the same as the data interface, without any change.

"Could this be just a hint?" Leo made a guess in his heart, but soon felt that it was impossible, or thought that he hadn't found the corresponding effect of adding items.

Although Leo really wanted to understand the effect of the line of gibberish text added after the sacrifice, he also knew that now was not the time to do these things, so he replenished the ammunition a little bit, rested for a while, and waited for the psionic power After recovering, he started to move quickly towards the big tree hole.

About ten minutes later, Leo walked out of a building. When he entered the building before, the big tree hole was dozens of miles away, but now he appeared in front of him, and his foot had just stepped on the big tree hole On the square of ashes, the building behind him disappeared. When he turned his head and looked back, he could only see the shadow of a line of buildings far away.

"You're here!" Just as Leo was about to check the surrounding situation, Peter Alcott's voice suddenly sounded not far away, and the puppet maid emerged from the thick ashes.

At first, Leo was a little surprised that Peter Alcott was silently lurking not far from him, but soon realized that this might be because the puppet itself had no breathing, heartbeat, or spiritual energy fluctuations.

"Where did you fall after you entered?" Leo looked at Peter Alcott carefully, and after confirming that the other party was not a monster in disguise, he asked.

"It should be the same as where you fell," Peter Alcott replied calmly, "It's just that you can't see me because of the difference in the space plane," he said in a strange way. Looking at Leo, he said in a deep voice: "But I saw you once three days ago. You looked like a cloud of white mist. You were fighting with the library keeper Sabot. Sabot seems to be very afraid of you, and finally ran away. It seems that your strength is stronger than I expected, and my chances of getting feathers are much higher."

"Three days ago?" Leo noticed the time mentioned by Peter Alcott. Obviously, the battle mentioned by the other party was the battle that happened before, but the time did not match. This confirmed Leo's previous talk about Speculation of disordered chaos in time and space here.

Leo asked again: "When did you come here?"

"Not so long ago," replied Peter Alcott.

At this moment, three white mist-like figures suddenly appeared out of thin air not far from the two of them, and as they moved forward, the figures solidified quickly and transformed into real bodies, and these three were respectively Expeditionary Charles Langco, black robe wizard Reese and spiritual wizard Jesse.

At the moment when the bodies of the three of them became real, the three of them also saw other people on Ashes Square. They were a little surprised that Leo could come here one step ahead of them, but what surprised them even more It was Peter Alcott's puppet standing here.

While the three of them were looking at Leo and the others, Leo was also observing the situation of the three of them.

Right now, the physical condition of these three people seems to be not very good, and they all have some injuries to some extent, especially the spiritual wizard Jesse, who even lost one eye. But compared to the poor condition of the three people's bodies, the spiritual energy fluctuations on the three people's bodies were extremely abnormally strong. Take the strongest Charles Ranko as an example. According to the standards of the Earth Federation, his psionic fluctuations have reached at least the level of a sixth-level psyker, and the other two are almost between fifth and sixth levels.

Although part of this abnormal situation may be due to the illusion caused by the active psychic environment around, but from the excited expressions on the faces of the three of them, it can be felt that the three of them should have gained some benefits in this demon library. The strength has been really improved, and this strong fluctuation of spiritual energy is not completely an illusion.

"Your Excellency Leo, how long have you been here?" Charles Ronco walked towards Leo and asked about the situation at the same time, but he obviously didn't pay attention to Peter Alcott, thinking that this puppet was nothing more than It's just a tool for Leo's control.

"I've just been here not long ago," Leo responded casually, then pointed to Peter Alcott and said, "Mr. Peter Alcott arrived before me, if you want to know the situation, ask He's better."

"What? Peter Alcott?" Hearing Leo's words, not only Charles Ronco was surprised, but the other two were also shocked by the news.

"Are you Peter Alcott? Not his puppet?" The spiritual wizard Jesse quickly realized, walked quickly to Peter Alcott, and said in a deep voice.

Peter Alcott saluted the three of them according to noble etiquette, and said, "Peter from the seventh Alcott family, it is an honor to meet you all."

The three of them looked at Peter Alcott in shock, and then their expressions became extremely embarrassing. The eyes they looked at Leo and Peter Alcott also became very fierce, as if they wanted to tear them apart. broken look.

Charles Ranco completely lost his composure, rushed to Leo, grabbed his lapel, and cursed fiercely: "You idiot, do you know what you did? Do you want to kill us when you bring people to the abandoned capital?"

"You'd better give us an explanation, otherwise I will immediately let you know the consequences of offending a black-robed wizard!" The black-robed wizard Riise also said threateningly, and a black light gathered in his hands, There is also a layer of psionic energy wrapped around his body that makes people feel cold.

"I hope you can let go first, I don't like talking to people so close," Leo felt that the matter might be serious, but he didn't show any signs of panic. Instead, he asked Charles very calmly. Lanke should not get too close, and turned to the black-robed wizard and spiritual wizard who were preparing for witchcraft, and said: "I don't like being threatened to talk like this, so I hope you two can stop doing these things to make me feel uncomfortable. Misunderstandings and tense movements, otherwise..."

"You bastard, how dare you threaten me back!" The black-robed wizard Riise's eyes became extremely fierce, and it seemed that he was not going to stop casting spells, but wanted to kill Leo to vent his anger.

On the contrary, Charles Ranko calmed down from his anger, let go of his grip on the skirt of his shirt, took two steps back and stared at Leo with a gloomy face.

Leo's eyes shifted to the black-robed wizard Rise who was still continuing to cast spells. Seeing that the other party was determined to go his own way, he decided to teach the other party a lesson and show his strength so as not to be regarded as a soft persimmon.

But before Leo could make a move, Peter Alcott on the side had already made a move. His elbow joint suddenly cracked, revealing a pipe like a cannon barrel. Then he pointed at the black-robed wizard Reese, and said : "I think you better calm down, sir, otherwise I don't mind using you to test the power of my small fortress cannon."

Hearing Peter Alcott's words, the faces of Charles Ranko and the other three became a little ugly, even pale, and their expressions became a little flustered. It was obvious that they knew very well what Peter Alcott said. What is a fortress cannon.

"You'd better give us an explanation, otherwise... this matter will never end!" Facing the deadly threat, even the black-robed wizard Riise felt extremely annoyed, but he had to choose to compromise. But there is no threat effect.

However, he cleverly linked his anger with the other two. Under the influence of these words, Charles Langco and the spiritual wizard Jesse also took a few steps back and stood with him, showing that own attitude.

For a while, the surrounding atmosphere became tense.
