The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing Leo's explanation, Sylvia and Seran looked at each other, nodded, and then stood in their proper positions, and then it was like dealing with those eyeball monsters at the entrance of the passage. Sylvia and Seran Together they created a flame storm, covering the entire roof of the room in flames.

The spider silk itself is flammable, and soon the roof of the room became a sea of ​​flames. After losing the restraint of the spider silk, all the spider eggs fell from above, and most of the spider eggs fell to the ground. , it shattered, even if it was not shattered, the flame attached to the eggshell would quickly cook the spider egg.

It's just that the huge spider egg that Leo noticed before was not included in the drop. On the contrary, this drop said that the spider egg was burnt out into a round shape. It turned out that it was a round spherical body inlaid on the top.

At this time, there were bursts of ear-piercing calls from the passage behind. Although the calls were not in language, Leo and the others could hear that the calls were full of hatred, anxiety and pain. .

Leo immediately took out the king and queen, looked towards the entrance where he came, and soon he saw a dozen huge spiders with the size of a small carriage rushing over from the passage.

Judging from the injuries on their bodies, they should have gone through a fierce battle just now. Even the battle is not over yet, and the sound of fierce monster fighting can still be heard in the passage. Obviously, these human-faced spiders are the spiders that found themselves The eggs were burned, so the most powerful spiders were sent to rescue their offspring.

The appearance of these human-faced spiders did not exceed Leo's expectations. When he saw the human-faced spiders resisting the unsuitability to the surrounding light and rushed towards them, Leo continuously cast some demon hunter's attacks on those human-faced spiders. Axii seal.

Although these human-faced spiders have a certain degree of wisdom, and some of them are immune to the influence of Axi's seal, most of the group of human-faced spiders that rushed over were hit by the trick, and they instantly regarded the same kind around them as The hated guy crazily attacked the same kind around him, and facing the same kind of attack, the little wisdom of those unaffected human-faced spiders was replaced by instinct, and they fought back with all their strength.

The pain caused by the two fighting also reduced the effectiveness of the Axii seal, but the human-faced spider that escaped the influence of the Axii seal did not refocus on Leo. The spider in the room behind Leo On the egg, it was completely controlled by instinct and attacked everything around it crazily until everything that could move around it fell down.

In this way, without spending a single bullet from Leo, all these menacing human-faced spiders were broken in front of Leo, leaving only a pile of bitten and fragmented pieces. Although some human-faced spiders did not die under the crazy attack, they have already come to their senses, judged the current form with considerable wisdom, and retreated to the back passage, it seems that they have given up on rescue .

"I've never seen the kind of witchcraft you just performed. It shouldn't be the witchcraft of the Velen world, right?" Saran watched how Leo performed the Axii seal. He was able to distinguish the strength of witchcraft from good to bad, and when he saw the witchcraft performed by Leo, the first thought in his mind was that it was not witchcraft, at least not from the world of Velen, because this kind of witchcraft The casting process completely violates the witchcraft laws that the tower wizards have studied and summarized for many years

"You know other worlds?" Leo turned to look at Saran.

"I know a little bit." Saran didn't want to say more, turned around and walked to the entrance, looked at the burning situation in the room, and said, "It should be fine."

Sylvia didn't stop because of Saran's words, but turned her head to look at Leo. After seeing Leo nodding, she signaled for Seran to withdraw her strength, and she also controlled the flame to gradually weaken and disappear.

Because of the burning flames just now, the room became extremely hot, and what surprised Sylvia was that even though the burning temperature was so high just now, there was no damage to the surface of the wall, and there were no traces of burnt black. The face still exudes a faint light.

"What's going on here?" Seran walked into the room, and tried to touch the ground that had been burned by the flames just now, but felt that the ground was very warm, very suitable for the temperature of the skin, without any burning sensation.

"It's because of these energy guide stones." Leo didn't hesitate to explain, and said: "These energy guide stones can import energy into themselves and store them as the energy supply for their radiance. You all use the energy generated by the flames. It was stored by the channeling stone."

"Energy? I've heard you say this word several times. What is energy?" Although Leo had mentioned the word energy a few times before, it didn't exist in the world of Velen. He just pronounced it in English. The syllables of the lingua franca of the Earth Federation, so Sylvia and the others sounded a little strange, but also a little puzzled.

So Leo briefly explained the definition of energy, and then he ignored the three witches who were absorbing this energy concept, and went straight to the bottom of the only sphere in the entire hall.

"What is this?" Compared to Sylvia and Seran, the king-chosen Saran obviously had a long-standing understanding of the concept of energy, so he didn't care about what Leo said. When it was placed on the sphere, she also came over and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know for the time being." Leo quickly checked the sphere with his line of sight and mental net, but he didn't find any place. He just thought it was a stone, so he looked around again, and finally his sight fell on It landed on a rhomboid-shaped stone directly below the sphere, because the color of this stone was much darker than that of the surrounding stones.

He squatted down, wiped the dust off the stone, and then tried to press it.

Just after he pressed it, the stone didn't respond at all. When he stood up in disappointment and was about to look for other useful clues, the stone that didn't respond before showed a reaction at this time and slowly rose from the ground , stopped at the height of Leo's waist, and then the surface of the top of the stone was sunken, forming a dent in the palm of his hand.

Seeing this dent, Leo frowned, then put his palm on the dent, and then some symbolic characters appeared on the ground in front of Leo, and these symbolic characters were compatible with any language and language in the world of Velen. The text is completely different, it looks like a strange shape formed after the paint is poured into water and slowly dispersed.

"What is this?" Sylvia and the others were immediately attracted by these symbols, and stepped forward to watch them.

Just when Sylvia and the others were at a loss as to the meaning of these weird symbols, Leo showed a little surprise and seriousness on his face, because he had already recognized what these symbols were, and he also knew the meaning of the ball above his head. What is it.

For a long time, human beings have a hypothesis that human beings are not native creatures on the earth, but alien species.

The reason why such a hypothesis is put forward is because of the evolutionary gap. In the history of human evolution, there has never been a reliable basis for the evolution of ancient ape-man to modern Homo sapiens. Although there have been some ape-man skulls that can be regarded as evidence, but These skulls are just examples, and there are not a large number of similar skull fossils, and the evolution of individual cases can never promote the evolution of a group, which is already a theorem in the universe.

However, after the Earth Federation entered the cosmic era, this question that has plagued mankind for many years seems to have an answer. The Bebosa civilization is a cosmic civilization that has always been in the fourth level.

The main race of this civilization, the Beposa people, is almost the same as humans except for their larger size, and the genes of the Beposa people are 99.9% similar to humans. Nine nine nine nine.

Through some channels, the humans of the Earth Federation have also obtained some information, some past history of some Beposa people and some experimental materials that have been conducted.

The Beibosa civilization once tried to attack a higher cosmic civilization, but unfortunately the impact failed, which made this civilization lose its vitality and almost withdrew from the cosmic civilization sequence.

Among all the losses, the Bebosa people, who are the main population, suffered the heaviest loss, almost losing 80% of the population of the entire ethnic group. Although the other vassal races of the Bebosa civilization also suffered heavy losses, they were far from reaching Crushing bottom.

When the main force is weak and strong, the status of the leader within the civilization will inevitably be impacted and challenged. Several extremely powerful vassal races of the Bebosa civilization began to challenge the status of the Bebosa people, and took charge of the star field controlled by the Bebosa people. , bit by bit eroding the living space of the Bebosa people.

In order to cope with the existential crisis of the race that has emerged, the Beposa people began to carry out some experiments in secret, including the race expansion experiment.

What the Bebossa people do is to insert their own gene seeds into some alien organisms that can integrate their genes and have the potential for evolution, and cultivate these alien creatures to become a new vassal race of the Bebossa people.

They have introduced some of the most primitive gene sequences in those specially-made gene seeds. These sequences can ensure that even if the vassal races they cultivate grow up, they will still obey their orders and become the weapons they use to deal with the old vassal races. warrior.

After learning the truth about the origin of their own race, the entire Earth Federation felt extremely angry. After all, no one would be willing to believe that the meaning of their existence is to become a cannon fodder for other races.

So at that time, the Earth Federation had a consensus, that is, to ignore the Bebossa people, and at the same time study their own genes, and look for those control gene chains that were implanted, so that when the Bebossa people noticed the Earth Federation, they would not be affected by the genes. chain impact.

However, many things often do not develop according to people's wishes. The more the Earth Federation is unwilling to contact the Bebossa people, the Bebossa people just discovered the existence of the Earth Federation, and they also showed great love for the humans of the Earth Federation. Big shock.

Because among the thousands of alien primordial creatures suitable for implanting their genes found by the Bebossa people, less than a hundred successfully integrated their genes and evolved into intelligent races, and more than 90% of them were low-intelligence races , that is to say, these intelligent races only have the lowest fighting instinct.

As for the wisdom produced by other intelligent races, they are also average, and more importantly, these vassal races that have been integrated into their genes are very different from the Beposa people in appearance, and they can barely be used as their cannon fodder soldiers.

So a long time ago, the Bebossa people formulated a bill that did not allow the experimental races implanted with their genes to be regarded as equally intelligent races, and could only be regarded as tools and slaves.

When the Beposas saw the humans on Earth, they were very surprised by the humans on the Earth, because the humans on the Earth were no different from the Bepsas except that they were slightly smaller than the Bepsas, and the humans on the Earth were the same as those other people. The experimental races are different. They rely entirely on their own strength to advance their civilization to the interstellar civilization. Even without foreign aid, they resisted the most difficult integration period of the interstellar civilization and successfully gained a foothold in the civilization level of the fourth universe.

It's just that, even though humans and Beposas are so similar, and the degree of genetic similarity is so close, just like humans will never regard genetically similar orangutans as the same family, the Beposas will also not regard humans as the same family Well, after experiencing the initial shock, they still regard human beings as the inferior vassal race they created, as their warrior cannon fodder.

Therefore, the ruler of the Peposa people sent a fleet of special envoys to the Earth Federation just as they did before, intending to use the control genes purchased from the gene seeds to completely control the Earth Federation of humans and become their weapon against those rebels. weapon.

However, something unexpected happened. When the Beposa people used their control methods, the human frontier fleet that was in contact with them at that time did not show any signs of being controlled.

The arrogance and disrespect of the Bebossa people and their contemptuous names for humans completely annoyed the commander of the frontier fleet, so the humans directly expelled the Bebossa people's special envoy spaceship from the star field controlled by humans.

At that time, the expelled Bebosa felt that they were humiliated by the inferior vassal race, and became extremely annoyed, so they made a retaliatory act that affected the subsequent situation.

They used their advanced spacecraft to bypass the patrol fleet of the Earth Federation, sneaked into the interior of the star field controlled by the Earth Federation, found a newly established colonial star, and dropped particle bombs on the colonial star that were enough to destroy the surface of the entire planet , Instantly killed all the humans on the colony planet.

Among the victims, apart from the ordinary colonists, there is also a university scientific research team that studies the vegetation environment of the colony planet, and the leader of this team is Dr. Li Wenbing, who is regarded as the father of space survival, and he built the perfect ecology The circulatory system enables the humans of the Earth Federation to complete the last cornerstone of long-term survival in the universe, allowing humans to truly survive and reproduce in the universe.

However, such a well-respected old man died under the devastating attack of the Beposa people, which completely angered the entire Earth Federation.
