The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Instead of rushing out to deal with these monsters, Leo walked to the door, knelt down and drew a Turing root with runes on the door, then injected spiritual energy, and retreated to the back of the house.

The incense burners and dog-shaped monsters at the door, which can only be seen through spiritual vision, are more like real hunters. They are not in a hurry to hunt their prey, but walk around their prey with their hounds, creating a terrifying atmosphere with their sounds , disturb the mood of the prey, and wait for the prey to show its flaws.

However, the prey, Leo, did not rush out of the house as they thought, which made many of the methods they had prepared useless.

After wandering outside the house for a while, some of the lantern burners rhythmically smashed their canes on the ground, while others shook the lanterns in their hands in coordination. A code word for gestures.

At this time, those dog-shaped monsters suddenly became quiet, and they all lowered their bodies, their limbs clasped the ground, and their bodies trembled violently, as if something was about to come out of their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, the entangled limbs of these monster dogs swelled rapidly, the forelimbs were raised, and the hind legs stood up, turning into an upright dog monster, and mouths were squeezed out of its body, all over the body, It looked terribly scary.

After all the transformations of these dogs and monsters were completed, all the lantern burners raised their canes in unison and chopped them on the ground vigorously.

As if they had received a signal, the dogs rushed towards the small house, their powerful bodies smashed through the already dilapidated wooden wall, and rushed into the small house.

However, before these dogs and monsters found their target, the magic circle that combined runes and Turing radicals that Leo had drawn on the ground before erupted with flame-like light, whether it was within the range of the fire, Still outside the range, all the dogs and monsters burned up, and before they had time to scream, they turned into a pile of ashes.

The power of this flame has not yet ended. After all the dogs and monsters were burned to ashes, they immediately spread outward like an infectious disease, and all the lamp burners around them who were still in shock were also ignited and burned rapidly . It's just that, compared to the dogs and monsters before, the burning process of these lamp burners is much slower, and these lamp burners not only do not struggle in pain, but appear very calm.

When the flames burned away the masks that covered their faces, these incense burners revealed the faces of ordinary people, and these faces showed expressions of relief, as if the flames burning on their bodies were helping them to be relieved .

After all the lantern burners were reduced to ashes, only a pile of palms and lanterns remained on the ground.

Leo came out from the depths of the room, stood next to the rune magic circle, squatted down, and grabbed it above the rune magic circle. It seemed that he had grabbed something and held it in front of his eyes.

Under Leo's spiritual vision, he saw a mass of white light gathering in his hands, and he clearly felt the warmth emanating from this mass of white light. That kind of warmth was not physical warmth, but spiritual, even The deeper souls also felt that kind of warmth, and under the envelope of this kind of warmth, people couldn't help but produce an unusually peaceful mood.

This is a by-product of the witchcraft of the soul bonfire. The effect of the soul bonfire witchcraft is very single, only targeting the soul itself, but the effect is very amazing. Leo has also performed it before, and after performing it, he can always find some from the ashes. High-energy substances such as soul spar fragments, but after being cast like this, the condensed soul fragments turned out to be such a large ball of light, which really puzzled him.

Just like other soul fragments, without any treatment, the power contained in the ball of light is also dissipating outward. Seeing that the ball of light is rapidly weakening and shrinking, Leo decided to use it. As for the method of use, it is natural Just like soul shards, just crush them.

The ball of light is very fragile, Leo squeezed it a little bit harder, and the ball of light shattered completely, turning into countless light spots and pouring into Leo's body, Leo felt the warmth melt into his soul, and the exhaustion of body and mind Under the warm scrubbing, it gradually weakened and disappeared, just like using combat hormones when feeling tired in battles.

Leo had used soul shards before, but the effect of the soul shards was obviously not comparable to this kind of light sphere. It was obvious that the lamp burners who were burnt by the soul bonfire in the end were not ordinary.

Thinking of this, Leo recalled the faces of those people who lit the incense sticks at the last moment. Although Leo didn't recognize the faces of most of them, Leo recognized two faces among them, because he was in a book. These two faces have been seen in history books.

These two faces belonged to Joy Wilson, the governor of the First Man Fleet of the Kingdom of England, and the other face was more famous. It was the naval hero of the Sigma Empire, Franco Berber, and the Sigma Invincible Battleship Franco was named after him.

The portraits of these two were engraved in Velen Ocean History and other historical books. The portraits were drawn by the best painters at the time according to their real appearance in a one-to-one ratio, so Leo was able to identify them so quickly. .

Without exception, these two sea heroes all died in shipwrecks, and their bodies were never found. Who would have thought that these two famous figures in the world would become lamp burners here.

Although Leo still doesn't know the identities of the other lantern burners, since they can stand with these two sea heroes, their identities are not low, so they should all be famous in their own fields.

"He has a great reputation in the world, and he is also a real hero. The soul fragments after burning with the soul bonfire will be more complete and the effect will be stronger." Thinking of this, Leo also had the answer in his heart.

While thinking, Leo walked to the pile of burnt ashes and picked up a cane and lantern on the ground. He found that although the cane and lantern had a metallic appearance, they were actually made of bones. Moreover, the surface of the cane is covered with patterns full of mysterious meanings, and the flame in the lantern burns slowly without any fuel. No matter how you look at these two items, they are extraordinary.

However, before Leo studied these two items carefully, the two items in his hand and all the walking sticks and lanterns left on the ground were all petrified, turning into stones in the blink of an eye, and the flame inside the lantern It also petrified into a flaming stone as if it had become a real thing.

Not only the palms and lanterns were completely petrified, Leo found that his clothes and nail surfaces also began to show signs of petrification.

Leo thought that this phenomenon might be caused by the petrified canes and lanterns, so he immediately threw these two things away, and quickly moved away from the place where the petrified canes and lanterns fell.

But the problem is that even if he did this, the signs of petrification on the surface of the nails and clothes have not weakened, and are still slowly spreading.

This situation made Leo immediately understand that he had misjudged the direction, and that the cause of his petrification was not the cane and the lantern, but the power that surrounded him, which he could not feel.

At this moment, the signs of petrification covered the entire surface of Leo's nails, and began to touch the flesh under his nails and the surrounding skin.

The psychic energy on Leo's body automatically reacted and poured into Leo's fingers to expel this foreign force, but this foreign petrified force did not have a strong ability to resist, and was quickly dispelled by the psychic energy. , and the signs of petrification on his body also subsided, but the power of petrification has not disappeared. Once Leo's spiritual energy is withdrawn, the power of petrification will work on him again.

After discovering this situation, Leo immediately thought of the incense burner and the dog monster that he had dealt with before. It is obvious that the appearance of petrochemical power is related to this incident, and the incense burner is controlled by the Yam people, so This petrification force must also be related to the Yam people.

So Leo jumped onto a tall stone house and looked around. Although the gray fog obscured his sight, his spiritual vision was still able to work. Soon, he discovered that the psionic energy fluctuations on a high tower were very strong, and it was obvious that some kind of ceremony should be going on there, and the location of that high tower happened to be near the Giant's Gate.

After finding a target, Leo didn't care whether the target was really related to the petrification power permeating the surroundings, so he rushed over there directly from the roof. When he encountered some spacious streets, he didn't jump from the stone house Instead, he jumped more than a hundred meters and landed on the roof he wanted to go directly in a way that surpassed the limits of human beings.

Leo did not rely on spiritual power, witchcraft, or the power of his physical body to complete this movement. Although his physical body has evolved, it is not difficult to jump a hundred meters, but in this case, the force of the soles of his feet will definitely give any The object causes the destruction of the reaction force, and it is absolutely impossible to land so lightly, just like a feather.

The power that helped Leo make this kind of jumping action actually came from the imprint of the gods imposed on him by the victim just now. When he touched the imprint of the gods, he was imbued with the same method of casting a divine spell as other imprints of the gods. In his mind, the divine spell bestowed by the sufferer was very special. It turned out to grant him extra running speed, jumping span, and evasive agility. Enhance the same sight.

For this kind of magic that is not a direct attack, but an overall improvement of his own quality, Leo does not have much rejection in his heart, because it will make his battle easier, and why does the victim have such a magic? It’s not surprising to think about it. After all, most of the believers of the victims are all kinds of refugees. They have to rush every day. Some obstacles can only be jumped over by themselves, and some unexpected attacks must be avoided. Therefore, this magical technique It is of great help to those refugees.

On the way, Leo didn't spend too much time, even though he encountered some strange and terrifying monsters wandering the streets, and some ordinary people whose bodies were parasitic but not mutated were hiding in the stone houses, He also has no plans to help, because he already knows very well that these parasites who look no different from living people are actually dead people, and they are all dead people rented by certain forces and given fleshy bodies.

When he came to the houses outside the White Tower, Leo was stunned, because he saw that the appearance of the tower and its surrounding stone houses was very similar to the shelter he saw in the other world, the only difference was that it looked older Some, the walls are covered with potholes and scars, and the surrounding spikes are covered with monster and human heads. The blood stains had dyed the surrounding ground dark red, and like all slaughterhouses, it was also filled with the stench of some rotting things and a thick and suffocating smell of blood.

Because of the rental of the psionic suppressor, Leo was unable to use the spirit net to investigate the internal situation here, but through his extraordinary hearing, smell and vision, Leo was still able to tell that there were no living things in the stone houses around the tower. .

After discovering this, Leo boldly jumped off the roof, stepped on the thick layer of blood that was almost dried up below, deftly avoided all the spikes on the road lined with spikes, and pushed away all the bones. Build the door and walk in.

After entering the stone house, the situation inside the house was completely different from the outside. There was no smell of blood, nor any disgusting stench, and the ground was neat and clean. Like the shelter, a large number of houses have been built here, and all the houses can find the same one in the shelter.

In addition to ordinary houses, there are also plantations and forging workshops, but nothing is planted in the plantations, and there is no flame in the furnace of the forging workshop. The most peculiar thing is that there is no one in the stone house around the tower, it is completely empty, and there is no trace of anyone's life.

"Enhanced." When Leo entered the stone house, he was not attracted by the exact same scene as the shelter, but looked at the petrified nails and sleeves.

Although he couldn't really feel this power, judging from the signs of petrification on his body, it was obvious that the petrification power here was much stronger than outside, which also proved that he didn't find the wrong place.

After confirming the location, Leo immediately went to the place where the tower was located. The time spent on the road was very short, and he quickly stood outside the gate of the tower.

The high tower gate of the sanctuary is an iron gate, without any decoration on the door, it is extremely simple, but the high tower gate that appears in Leo's eyes is bronze, and it is covered with various dents and scratches , and the shape of the gate is also distorted, it looks like there are many people with weapons attacking the gate.

Because the gate has been distorted and deformed, a crack opened in the middle, Leo went directly through the gap and entered the tower, and at the moment he entered the tower, the petrified power on his body strengthened again, he The fingernails were petrified again, and the clothes on his body naturally turned into hard slate.
