The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

A mysterious psychic energy poured into Leo's eyes from the spider tattoo on the back of his hand, and Leo's spiritual vision skills also changed. Although the scene in front of him didn't change, there was something more.

The net is a big net that covers the whole world endlessly. Everyone is in the net, and each person is connected with a mesh thread. The mesh thread extends to the sky and connects with a big net that covers the sky. There are countless web spinners crawling around. On top of this layer of web, there seems to be an even bigger layer of web. This web covers the entire starry sky with no end in sight. There is no web weaver on it, only a black shadow like a human spider.

"Damn it!"

The moment he saw the black shadow of the human spider, Leo immediately felt that his will, which was as tough as a ninth-level psyker, was on the verge of collapse, and his mind might fall into madness at any time.

Feeling something was wrong, he quickly lowered his head, no longer looking at the black figure, and his will that was close to collapse stabilized. While he lowered his head, his spiritual vision also saw him, and what surprised him was that his body was not connected by the mesh, as if he was isolated from the whole world.

"Ah!" Just when Leo wanted to take a closer look at the condition of the web on his body, a sharp pain suddenly came from the spider tattoo on the back of his hand, and then he saw the spider tattoo disappear as quickly as a stain that had been washed , and soon there was no trace, as if it had never existed, and his spiritual vision returned to normal, and the net he saw before disappeared.

After recovering from the shock, Leo turned his head to look at those web weavers, and at this time those web weavers were also staring at Leo.

At this moment, Leo realized why he always felt that these web weavers looked at him strangely before. He subconsciously thought that these web weavers had malicious intentions, but now he understood that these web weavers Just curious about myself, wondering why there is no mesh on my body.

"I saw just now..." Leo recalled what he saw just now, while preparing to ask the Web Weaver for more details.

But the Weaver of the Web shook his head, put his hand on his lips, made a gesture not to speak, and ignored Leo, but kept looking at the refugees in front of him.

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't ask any more questions, but carefully recalled all the information about the Weaver in his mind over and over again, and followed behind the large team with the Weaver without any haste.

Although the gravel valley on the top of the mountain does not look very large, it is actually not the same thing at all. Even if they can see through the wind and snow that has become much smaller, they can see the mountains on the opposite side of the valley. The actual distance is much farther than what you see.

Originally, the distance was already very far, and most of the roads on the ground were composed of pieces of gravel. These gravels were only compared to the towering mountains around them. For ordinary people, the smallest of these gravels was smaller than The knees are high, and the biggest ones even require climbing to pass, which invisibly slows down the speed of travel.

From entering the valley in the morning to the evening when the sky was getting dark and the sun was about to set, the team of asylum seekers did not go out of the valley, not even half the distance.

This speed of travel was much slower than Barack expected. Only then did Barack realize a mistake in his plan. He mistakenly regarded every refugee as a hunter who often walked in the mountains, so he followed the The strength of the Orion's feet is used to calculate the time to pass the Dibia Mountains. But now it seems that the time required to lead these people through the Dibia Mountains may be far longer than his estimated time, and may even be more than doubled.

However, now he knew that he couldn't turn back and could only continue walking. Fortunately, they had prepared enough food and items to keep out the cold, and they could also hunt in the mountains to increase food, so as long as the distribution was done properly, it shouldn't cause any adverse effects.

Before the sun completely set, Barak found a relatively empty open space, and then announced that he would stop advancing, stay here tonight, and continue tomorrow.

Hearing this news, all the asylum seekers cheered. In fact, they were already exhausted. The reason why they walked was only influenced by other people, so after hearing the order to set up camp, they all sat on the ground. , panting heavily, recovering the overdrawn strength.

After recovering a little bit of strength, the refugees began to set up camp under the guidance of the accompanying hunters, and soon one after another tents were erected in this open space. Because the open space was not large enough, many people could not set up their tents. Tents are set up and only one tent can be shared with other people.

And when the asylum seekers were allocating tents, the accompanying hunters did not rest. Instead, under the arrangement of Barak, some people arranged various defensive traps around the camp to guard against wild beasts that appeared at night from attacking the camp. Scatter around to find all kinds of prey that can be caught.

Although the prepared food is sufficient, in order to avoid unexpected situations, Barack will save food as much as possible and increase food, so he not only let his hunters go out to catch prey, but also let the refugees in the camp try their best to Keep foods that have been stored for a long time, and eat those that are not easy to keep first.

In addition, he also asked some energetic refugees to collect firewood in the safe area that had been swept away by hunters to prepare for the bonfire for the night.

Under the command of the experienced Barack, a large camp with a capacity of a thousand people was quickly set up in this barren mountain and deep valley. When the bonfires in and around the camp were lit, the sun had completely set and the surroundings became pitch black. , everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief under the warm firelight.

Barak personally arranged all the things in the camp, not because he was really responsible, but because he wanted to show his ability in front of those powerful people, so as to gain the attention of those powerful people.

In fact, the effect of this approach was obvious. After the camp was set up, the few dignitaries sent someone to invite Barak to their tent to have a meal together. Obviously, Barak's ability has been recognized by them. As long as he can lead these people to turn over If he passes the Dibia Mountains, he will also get the city life he dreamed of.

On the other side, Leo and the Web Weaver were very unpopular, and all the refugees ignored them. It is no wonder that these refugees have such an attitude. This is entirely caused by Leo and the others. Other refugees who are not fully prepared will take the initiative to help and fully participate in setting up the camp. But Leo and the few web weavers casually found a sheltered place to sit down, and they didn't do anything to help.

Therefore, when the camp was set up, other people, even those who did not bring anything except a simple bedding, were arranged to live in other tents, and they had hot food, but Leo and the others were not arranged.

Leo didn't care about this, and it didn't matter to those weavers. They just sat outside the camp and watched the noise inside the camp. This scene made the people who saw it feel extremely weird, and they couldn't help but have some thoughts. curiosity.

However, because of walking for a day during the day, and not taking a long rest after that, and setting up tents and camps, most of the people's physical strength has been overdrawn. After eating a little hot dinner, they all went back to the Rest in the tent and prepare for tomorrow's trip. As for the curiosity about Leo and the others, it is obvious that they can't resist the exhaustion and sleepiness on their bodies.

Just when many people were sleeping in the tent, a child ran out from the camp, carrying a basket in his hand, ran to Leo and the net weaver, roasted the inside of the basket deliciously, hot and dry The bread was handed to them, and they fled back to the camp, into the arms of a young couple.

Looking at the hot bread in his hand, Leo raised his hand, and the psionic energy of his fingertips drew a few runes in the air. At the same time, he chanted a few spells and followed the invisible runes. Several green rays of light flew into the bodies of the couple and the child.

Leo's actions did not hide from the few web spinners next to him. They were obviously dissatisfied with Leo's actions and frowned. One of them even stood up and tried to fall under the green light of the runes. Stop that family before they get there.

However, before the web weavers could make any move, a strong psychic coercion shrouded them. At this moment, Leo used spiritism to imitate the power of the turbid and light lord. Although there is a huge difference between the two in terms of quality and quantity, it is enough to suppress these web weavers. It was not until the runes were integrated into the family that Leo withdrew the spiritism, and some Fighting against each other, he put his finger on his lips and made a gesture of not speaking to the web weavers.

Leo's actions undoubtedly had a certain impact on the web weaver's harvesting of souls, but the web weaver did not do anything to Leo. He just looked at Thunder Monkey dissatisfied for a while, then turned his head and stared at the camp that belonged to him. of the prey.

Just as Leo didn't know the details of their strength and was not fully sure that they could gain the upper hand in the conflict, they also had no certainty that they could win or drive away Leo. If we were surprised to see Leo before because of the thick and strong psionic energy on Leo's body, then when Leo imitated the psionic fluctuations of the turbid and light master just now, they all mistakenly thought that Leo Ou is a flesh-and-blood family member of a great existence, and he has more scruples and fears towards Leo, so naturally he won't do anything.

The erroneous judgments of these web weavers are exactly what Leo hopes to see. After seeing the existence behind the web weavers just now, he considered finding a backer for himself, even if this backer is just forged, doing so can reduce the number of Some possible conflicts and troubles, but judging from the current implementation, the effect is not bad.

Soon the noise in the camp subsided, and most of the people went into the tents to rest, only a few selected strong men stayed behind to serve as sentinels, guarding against dangerous beasts that might appear at night.

At the beginning, these sentinels formed by refugees and hunters could still sit on duty, patrolling inside and outside the camp every once in a while. But as time passed, the inside and outside of the camp became extremely quiet, and there was no other sound except the sound of the wind, let alone wild animals. This calmness also made the sentries relax their vigilance. Most of them would sit by the campfire to warm up and rest, and very few people would continue to patrol the camp.

Just as the time entered the early hours of the morning, the wind and snow outside seemed to be getting smaller, and the sound of small footsteps in the sound of the wind and snow woke up Leo who was at the edge of the camp from the state of closing his eyes and resting his mind .

Leo opened his eyes and immediately used his spiritual vision skill, and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a figure crouched on a big rock far away from the camp, looking in the direction of the refugee camp, and there were four or five similar figures huddled together under the rock.

Although Leo's spiritual vision ability has the ability of night vision and farsightedness, but because of the wind and snow, the figures he can see are not very clear. However, from the obvious features of the figure, he still quickly recognized that the spectators were the children of the swamp he had seen before.

"Did you arrange it?" Leo asked the web weaver while pointing to the location of the children of the swamp.

For Leo's sudden inquiry, the Web Weavers were a little puzzled and surprised, and then they looked in the direction of Leo's fingers, and with their own special abilities, they recognized the children of the swamp.

Obviously, the relationship between the family members is not necessarily friendly, and some of them may still be dead. When the web weaver recognized the children of the swamp, angry expressions appeared on their faces, and they stood up one after another, as if their bodies were floating. He moved into the darkness in general, moving towards the children of the swamp.

Those sons of the swamp are obviously different from those sons of the swamp that Leo met in the forest on the outskirts of Miria City. They have stronger abilities, and they can detect danger before the web weaver approaches, as fast as a frog They moved rapidly among the gravel covered with a thick layer of snow, and soon fled into the deeper darkness in the distance.

Although the sons of the swamp who looked like hyenas had been driven away, the web spinner was obviously dissatisfied with the result, and when he returned to the camp, his face looked very gloomy.

After a while, the oldest web weaver stood up suddenly, walked to Leo's side, spoke for the first time, and said, "I...want...to...hire...servant...you!"

It was a very simple sentence, but it was very difficult for the web weaver to say, as if speaking for the first time.

And the performance of this kind of web weaver also confirmed a guess in Leo's mind when he saw the abnormal scene before. These web weavers are only attached to people, and their real appearance should be I saw those humanoid spiders densely all over the sky before.
