The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Because of the precedent of black grass, the group of people was always vigilant on the road, especially those seemingly harmless plants on both sides of the road, but even so they encountered two dangerous attacks, one It was a group of monsters like hair-shedding mice, and another time it was a group of mutated bees.

The two attacks were very sudden, because no one expected that there would be living creatures in the dense black grass, so when the attacks occurred, they were all in a hurry to deal with them.

However, everyone soon discovered that these mutated animals and insects were similar to ordinary animals except that their bodies became stronger and their movements became more agile. They were even much inferior in intelligence. They only knew about crazy attacks. , do not know how to dodge.

After recovering, these monsters were no longer a threat, and soon became corpses under the attack of the crowd.

When everyone stopped to treat the wounds, Leo inspected the corpses of these mutated animals and insects. He found that these corpses showed no signs of being corroded by black oily human pus. The mutations of these animals and insects were more like his The results of the transformation technique seen from the notes of the wilderness wizard, but this kind of transformation does not seem to use witchcraft, but another unknown power, a power that may also come from the abyss.

Because when Leo came into contact with the corpses of these animals and insects, both the chaotic stomach sac and the eyeballs of the abyss serpent reacted, and it was obvious that these animals and insects contained abyssal power.

"This is a new power of the abyss." Just like the world of Velen has various energies, Leo will not simply think that the abyss has only one kind of energy.

However, in Leo's view, the power of the abyss that appeared in Death Valley is obviously much worse than the human pus in Wangcheng in terms of corrosiveness and power.

Because people infected by human pus will inevitably be infected by human pus after being attacked, and they don't even need to be injured. They will also be infected just by being in an environment full of the power of the abyss for a long time. But now, even though these animals and insects mutated by the power of the abyss have caused harm to other people, these injuries have not allowed the power of the abyss to penetrate into the injured body, and there is no additional corrosive damage. Obviously, this is not the same as human pus. The damage done varies.

"We're here!" After encountering two attacks, the group walked through one or two ruins that looked like outposts, and finally came to the edge of a larger valley.

"That's the town of Death Valley!" Willis said without emotion, and pointed to the town in the middle of the valley.

Following the direction of Willis' finger, everyone saw a very dilapidated old town. The buildings in this town were still wooden spire houses in the ancient English period, and most of them were dilapidated due to disrepair. There was no one in the town, and I couldn't see anyone's life. Some tools of life were thrown on the ground at random. It felt like everyone in the town had moved out, and the relocation was in a hurry.

There is a church in the middle of the town, which is the only building made of stones in the town, which makes it look out of place with the entire town of wooden houses, and it also looks extremely prominent. The shape of the church is designed to imitate the church of the hill king. It is simple and heavy, but the statue erected on the top of the church is not the statue of the hill king. Instead, it is a statue that makes others feel strange, but Leo feels very familiar. Statue, statue of the abyssal serpent.

To be honest, it looks like an abyss serpent with two rows of big dies, a pair of red eyes and a pair of long ears, it is hard to forget once you see it.

"What is that? An evil god?" Mira, who had good eyesight, also saw the statue of the abyss serpent at the top of the church, and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know." Willis shook his head in a daze, and said, "Before I left, there was no such church. It should have been built after I left."

"Don't you think it's strange?" At this time, a transcendent said in a deep voice: "According to the logic, those people from the Special Bureau should enter the thick fog with us and come to Death Valley. They are not walking fast, if they want to catch up, they should have caught up long ago, why don't they see any figure now?"

Su looked at Leo and said, "Something must have happened to them."

"That Barkley has a problem." Leo suddenly added.

Willis also heard Leo's words, and asked with interest: "What's the problem with Barkley?"

However, Leo did not explain it, because this was just his guess. He guessed that Barkley had been infected by the power of the abyss, and became a monster like a living dead, and even became a minion of the abyss. It is not difficult to find that the fall of Wangcheng was not difficult to find in the records. In addition to its own fall, the secretive work of the abyss minions was also one of the main factors.

The moment he saw the town, he immediately thought of Wangcheng, and the church of the abyss snake in the center of the town undoubtedly made Leo a little more sure about his guess.

"What should we do next?" The weird atmosphere around made a Transcendent very unwilling to stay here, and wanted to complete the task and leave here as soon as possible, so he asked Su in an urging manner.

"It's very easy to find Earl Drake's cemetery, just get the Seagod artifact." Su responded casually, then took out a compass-like thing from his pocket, and fiddled with it in his hand.

I saw that this compass was very strange. It was made of the bones of some kind of creature. The surface was engraved with runes containing magical power. There was a stone pointer on the compass. The blood had dried up for a long time, seeping deep into the crevices of the stones.

"This is the hunting compass of the Jiaka tribe. They are willing to take this thing out for you to use. How much did you pay for it?" Mira said in surprise, recognizing the origin of the compass at a glance.

"Three wagons of grain." Su said again and again, fiddling with the compass in his hand.

Three carloads of grain is nothing at all, at best it’s just a month’s worth of sales by an ordinary grain merchant, but in the wilderness of the Mosang Continent during this period, the value of these three carloads of grain is almost equivalent to gold , because an unprecedented dry season suddenly appeared in the wasteland during this period, the food was greatly reduced, and the famine was spreading. This incident was even repeatedly reported by newspapers in the Kingdom of England.

"You are taking advantage of the fire to rob." Mira looked at Su displeased. Although she had left the tribe in the wasteland, she was from a tribe after all, so she naturally didn't want to see the tribe in the wasteland being bullied like this.

"Wrong, I didn't force them." Su Ping said: "They offered to exchange."

Mira said nothing more.

As Su fiddled with that compass, bursts of light began to bloom, and the pointer located in the center of the compass was also suspended under the envelope of light, rotating rapidly, and the dark red blood on the tip of the pointer also became brighter at the same time.

When the compass was working, Leo's sight also fell on the compass, because he was on the compass, or more correctly, on the pointer, and felt a breath of life that only belonged to Omega-level advanced creatures.

Seeing Leo's sight and the doubt in his eyes, Mira explained: "This compass is a strange thing made by the shaman of the Jiaka tribe. It is said that it is made of the bones of the blood of the God of the Wilderness. The blood on it It is the blood of the wild god."

"God of the wilderness?" Leo couldn't help looking at Mira curiously when he heard this strange name, waiting for her further explanation.

Mira explained: "The God of the Wild is just a tribal god in a small range. It is said that the real body is a leopard, so He can also give believers the ability to track prey. However, since the Lord of Nature disappeared, the God of the Wild has also Disappeared, the Jiaka tribe is considered to be the last tribe that believes in the God of the Wilderness, but now it seems that the Jiaka tribe should have given up their belief in the God of the Wilderness, otherwise it would be impossible to take out the tribe's artifact as a trade."

Just as he was speaking, the rapidly rotating pointer on the compass suddenly stopped, and the bloody end of the pointer pointed to the church of the abyssal serpent. Immediately afterwards, he saw a burst of black air gushing out of the compass, tearing apart the The light of the compass, and at the same time the compass and pointer also shattered, scattered in Su's hands.

"This..." Looking at the fragments in her hand, Su was also stunned. She used this compass before, and things went smoothly. She even found Willis because of this compass, but now the compass is just like this in her hand. Yes, she didn't react for a while.

"When you held the compass just now, what did you want the compass to find?" Leo asked Su in a deep voice.

"Who else can I find Earl Drake?" A very useful strange object was destroyed in her hands, which made Su a little annoyed, so when he answered, his tone became a little rushed.

"You should have found it." Leo said, pointing to the church, and said, "I'm afraid this Earl Drake is a big trouble."

Su quickly realized what Leo meant, and confirmed: "You mean that Earl Drake is not dead, but was infected by the abyss?"

"No, Earl Drake is definitely dead, and the investigation of the British royal family will not be wrong." Leo shook his head and said: "However, death does not mean that everything is over, sometimes death is just It's the beginning of another life," he thought of those living dead, and added: "Let's call that state life!"

"In this case, let's go!" Su Chensheng said.

But Mira suddenly said at this time: "I won't go with you."

"What do you mean?" Su frowned, staring at Mira with extreme dissatisfaction.

Mira smiled and said: "Don't forget, my purpose and yours are different from the beginning. I didn't come here for some sea god's artifact, have you forgotten?"

"Then how do we leave after we found the Seagod's Artifact?" Su didn't have the slightest intention to hold Mira back, but just asked questions related to himself.

"Wait for me at the ruins before." Willis said in a deep voice.

"But what if something happens to you?" A transcendent asked.

Willis explained: "Then you just need to wait here for the next full moon night, and a passage will automatically appear at that time."

After getting the answer he wanted, Su didn't stop Mira and the two from leaving. After watching the two of them walk towards a hill not far away from another road, they turned around and walked towards the small town ahead.

Su was not as dissatisfied with Mira's lack of companionship as it appeared on the surface. In her opinion, although Mira was strong enough, and might even have some kind of close connection with the moon god, she could use some of the power of the gods, but in death In the place of Gu, it is still unknown how much help the god of the Velen world can provide to Mira, so if something happens, Mira will become a drag instead, and it would be better to separate.

She is now concerned about Leo's behavior. Although she doesn't know how much Leo knows about what is happening in Death Valley, her intuition tells her that the hope of finding the Sea God's Scepter may lie with Leo.

Leo had no interest in paying attention to the matter between Su and Mira. He had focused his attention on the small town since the compass shattered just now, because the black air that caused the compass shattered just now did not disappear, but quickly flooded back into the town.

After this black air spread in the town, Leo sensed something awakening in the town through the eyes of the abyss snake. This thing contained a huge power of the abyss, which made him think of Those mutated abyss monsters I saw in Wangcheng.

A group of people soon arrived outside the small town, and everyone stopped under Su's signal.

Then Su cast a wink at an extraordinary man, and that extraordinary man squatted down, put his hands on the ground under his feet, and then his hands vibrated at an extraordinary speed, and the shock waves generated by the vibrations were also transmitted. When it reaches the ground, pass it around along the ground.

Seeing the ability used by this extraordinary person, Leo was a little surprised, because the ability used by this person is somewhat similar to the shock detector he used back then. This detector is used to judge the surrounding vibration by generating shock waves and collecting feedback data. In the case of objects, the detection range can cover an area within ten miles at the farthest, which can also allow ordinary people to obtain abilities similar to the mental net.

Soon the information returned by the shockwave made the extraordinary man make a judgment. He stood up and said, "I didn't find any danger."

"In this case, we..." Su seemed to trust the judgment made by this extraordinary person very much, and was about to move on.

But at this time, Leo reached out and interrupted her words, and then he took out a grenade made of special ammunition from his pocket, but in fact, from the storage space, pulled the safety off, and threw it into the town Inside.

As the grenade landed, a loud noise broke the surrounding tranquility. The power of the grenade explosion instantly blasted a huge hole in the ground, and it was not just the dust on the ground that flew up under the impact of the explosive force. There was still a large amount of flesh and blood, and at the same time, a painful howl came out from the pit.
