The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The entire river bend market is very large, with a total of nine floors. As the river water lowers, each floor of the market will be exposed to the water one by one and open for trading. The things bought and sold on each floor are different, and the opening time will naturally be longer or shorter.

For example, the top three floors that are currently open are mainly food and foreign commodities. They are all large transactions. After each transaction is completed, it will be sent directly to the boat docked on the river bank, and then directly transported to the inland along the river. Or the coast.

Although it is mainly for daily commodity transactions, there are not no good things here. Some decorations and artworks with the characteristics of the Savile Kingdom will also be traded here, and there are also some sand worms with little foundation. Put some ancient-looking things they picked up from the desert here to sell.

Sand worms are just what they call themselves when facing tourists. In fact, the locals prefer to call them scavengers. They are like those scavenging sand worms in the desert. After the prey is dismembered and eaten, they will rush to eat the leftovers left by others.

Although the desert relics that the sandworms scavenged were searched several times by other people, it doesn't mean that they can't find good things. There are many lucky sandworms who can find secret cellars that others haven't found. Find some hidden ancient treasures, like this booth that Leo is facing right now.

"What's the price?" After confirming the situation of the entire market through the spirit network, Leo didn't wander around, but walked directly to a booth, squatted down and rummaged through a pile of decorations with patterns of ancient civilizations After a while, he took out a fist-sized metal ball, then dismembered it and asked the stall owner.

"Fifty gold sa." The stall owner didn't know the value of this thing, but after picking up Leo and coming to his booth, he directly found this thing and asked the price, so he offered what he thought was the highest price, and Waiting for Leo to make a counter-offer.

Then the stall owner's idea didn't happen, Leo directly put the metal ball in his pocket, then took out fifty gold sa and handed it to the stall owner, got up and left.

Looking at the fifty gold Sa in his hand, the stall owner immediately realized that his quotation must be low, but unfortunately it is useless, the deal between the two parties has been reached, if he forcibly repents, then he will break the rules of the market, although Not to die, but to suffer a little, and to be prohibited from doing any business in the thirty-seven towns.

So the stall owner could only watch Leo's figure disappear into the crowd in annoyance, but the careful stall owner soon discovered that something was wrong. Someone was following Leo. As a local, he certainly knew what it meant, so he thought I couldn't help but have some small thoughts, quickly closed the booth, and followed carefully.

Leo walked around the market again, bought a few things from other stalls, and basically bought all the things worth buying in the market, he was going to take a boat to the north side of the river on the other side of the river. Take a look at the market to see if there is still something worth buying.

But the bursts of exclamation in the market caught Leo's attention. Not only him, but also other tourists looked towards the upper reaches of the Sevier River excitedly.

At this time, I saw the sun slowly protruding from the top of the cliff in the distant canyon. The rays of the setting sun passed through the canyon and sprinkled on the water of the Savile River, reflecting pieces of brilliant red light, covering the entire dark canyon. It was dyed red and looked extremely spectacular, as if the Savile River had turned into a river of blood.

Canyon Blood River, this is one of the most famous scenery in the Kingdom of Savile, but the place and time when the Canyon Blood River appears is not fixed, any area of ​​the Savile Grand Canyon may appear at any time of the year The scenery of the Blood River, the scenery of the Blood River in the canyon appeared in Ethiopia today, and the people in the River Bend Market saw this scene at such a close distance, it is definitely worth their bragging for a year.

At this moment, no one spoke, just quietly looking at the scenery in front of them. Just as the sun moved to the other side of the canyon, the light began to weaken, and the scene of the blood river began to disappear, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky. After a while, bursts of huge thunder followed, stunned everyone who heard it.

The reason why everyone was stunned was because both lightning and thunder appeared inexplicably. You must know that the sky is cloudless at this moment, there are not even clouds, and the sun has not disappeared, and the sky is still bright. How could it be so obvious? Lightning, let alone thunder.

It's just that, compared to those who are obsessed with the abnormal scene, some extraordinary people in the crowd feel more, and their feelings also make their hearts either panic or surprise, which is completely different.

Just like other ordinary people around, Leo was stunned the moment he saw the lightning appear in the sky, and the expression on his face was full of doubt and shock.

Because he felt that the energy structure of the whole world seemed to have changed at the moment when the lightning appeared, but he didn't know the details of this change. The only thing that was certain was that the extraordinary power of Velen World would become active because of this change. stand up.

The reason why he made such a judgment was entirely because after the lightning appeared, he felt that all the powers in his body, including psionic energy, seemed to have been refurbished, becoming more active, more flexible, and more powerful. It is easy to control, and the energy fluctuations are also stronger.

"The return of the gods?" An idea immediately appeared in Leo's mind, but he quickly denied it, because he found that the power on his body was not just the power in the imprint of the gods. The power of the abyss has become active. If it is the return of the gods, how can the abyss, which is the mortal enemy, have no limits? At this time, the power of the abyss should be weakened.

At this time, Leo couldn't help but think of Bailu, the head of eternal wisdom that Bailu took away, what happened after he left the Aishali Forest, and what Bailu gave when he asked about the return of the Bailu god. answer.

Leo had a feeling that when he appeared in the Guga Desert, he happened to meet the Kaka tribe. These things may not be coincidences, or they may be some kind of arrangement, the arrangement of the white deer.

"Leo! Leo!" At this moment, Leo's consciousness was instantly pulled into the phantom by a force, and Sylvia stood aside at this moment, calling out to Leo twice, After seeing Leo appearing, he immediately asked, "Did you feel it? The change after the lightning bolt just now."

"Yes, I can feel it." Leo nodded and said.

"What exactly happened?" Sylvia didn't think that Leo would have an answer, and asked more like talking to herself.

However, Leo gave an answer, saying: "Maybe the gods are about to return!"

"The return of the gods?" Sylvia was shocked by Leo's answer. She was stunned for a long time, and then said with a look of disbelief, "How is this possible? How is this possible? Do you know something?"

Leo shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't know much, I just know that the gods may return. But..." He paused, and said: "But the return may not be only the gods. "

Sylvia didn't understand the meaning of Leo's words for a while, and was about to ask. At this time, another thunder sounded in the ears of the two, and a powerful energy fluctuation instantly broke through the gap between the two. With this mysterious connection, Leo's consciousness also withdrew from that illusion.

At this time, Leo felt that the various forces in his body seemed to be more active than before. Obviously, when he was in the illusion of consciousness, there was a second thunder and lightning outside, and the effect of the second It also superimposed on Leo's body, which made Leo feel more and more obvious that the special power in his body was abnormally active, so that Leo had to concentrate on controlling the power in his body.

Leo still needs to carefully control the various powers that have changed in his body, and some other people from the dark world who hide their identities in the market are naturally caught off guard by the changes in the power in their bodies.

"Ah! Monster!" With a scream, there was a commotion in the market near the river bank, and a large number of people ran towards this side of the stone steps, and couldn't tell which side was up and which side was down. , Randomly found a stone step and climbed up.

Those who could overlook the entire market on the stone steps also screamed as if they had seen something terrifying, and under the push of the crowd below, they either passively pushed up, or were directly pushed out of the market. Squeezed down the stone steps and fell on the hard ground.

Compared with the panicked and fleeing crowd around him, Leo, who was calm and walking towards the origin of the chaos, was particularly eye-catching, but the people around him were all busy running away under the interference of an atmosphere of fear , no one paid attention to Leo, a person who went against the trend of the people.

Leo quickly came to the edge of the first-floor market. Looking down at the third market near the Savile River, he saw three monsters nearly five meters high frantically attacking the surrounding people who had no time to escape.

It is difficult to describe the appearance of these three monsters. All unreasonable objects such as distorted bodies and limbs, various unknown organs that should not appear on them, etc. are concentrated on them, as if they are all the evil things in the world. Roots like.

Whether it is the indescribable weirdness of their bodies or the energy fluctuations emanating from them at this moment, they have a great impact on normal people. Normal people will fall into hysterical madness at a glance, just like those in the market below. Shrieking like crazy, but don't know who is running away.

And the three monsters didn't seem to have any plans to escape, they seemed to use this place as a restaurant, randomly grabbed a crazy person from the ground and put it on the body that barely looked like a mouth, biting and devouring it.

"Familiars out of control!" Seeing these three monsters with indescribable shapes and strange energy fluctuations all over their bodies, Leo immediately thought of the night watchman and the duty of the night watchman.

This is the first time Leo has seen a completely out-of-control family. According to the night watchman, these family members have been infected. The night watchman's treatment of the family members was a little too much, but now that he saw the family members like this, he changed his mind and felt that the night watchman's actions were right.

At this time, the third lightning bolt flashed across the sky, and the third thunderclap sounded. Leo also saw that the power restraint on his body was weakening again, and the power of the abyss also increased rapidly, and the eyeballs of the abyss serpent also began to move. Trying to get out of Leo's control, but under the suppression of the devouring power of the chaotic stomach, this abnormal fluctuation soon stopped.

At the same time, the three monsters below mutated again, becoming more ferocious, and they no longer regarded the surrounding humans as food, but instead attacked other monsters, seeming to want to eat other monsters.

And at this moment, not only in the river bend market below the canyon, but also in the city of Ethiopia above, there is a lot of commotion. It seems that these out-of-control hidden family members have already begun to destroy the city.

At this time, Leo also thought of the news he heard in the hotel. The original city defense force in the city had been dispatched to other places, and the current city defense was handed over to the big and small tribes and gangsters in the city. Obviously, these people could not They are the opponents of these monsters, and the Savile Kingdom is a place that extremely rejects foreign dark world forces. The black market cannot gain a foothold here, and it is naturally impossible for the night watchman to set up a station here, so the only thing people here can rely on now is It is the Lord Church of the birth and death of all things.

Leo did not intend to deal with these three monsters. He restrained all the energy fluctuations in his body, reduced the activity frequency of various organs in his body, and made his whole body as cold as the surrounding rocks.

Then his mental network penetrated into the bodies of these three monsters biting each other, carefully observing the mutation process and energy fluctuations of their bodies.

Leo felt different powers of the evil gods from these three monsters. All the powers were undoubtedly chaotic and violent. It was like erupting lava in the bodies of these monsters, causing their mutations and causing their death. pain.

Although these divine powers are very messy, Leo can still recognize one of them, that is the mother of the hives, and the family of the mother of the hives is also easy to identify, because it is the only monster among these monsters that still barely maintains a humanoid shape , but its body is covered with scales at the moment, and countless snake heads protrude from various parts of the body, while the original head is sunken in the afternoon, turning the whole body into a huge snake mouth that opens toward the sky, and it is still possible to vaguely get out of the snake mouth. See the face of the original head.
