The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo followed the rescue team all the way down and continued to climb down. The abyss was deeper than expected. After climbing for almost half an hour, he still hadn't reached the bottom. Those platforms that are used to rest the feet are built better, and even at the back there is no need for climbing ropes, and a hanging ladder dug on the steep mountain wall has been built between the platforms.

At this time, the careful Leo realized that he seemed to have made a mistake at the beginning, that is, the construction order of these landing platforms was not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top.

Obviously, these platforms were not built by outsiders who wanted to go down safely to the bottom of the abyss of the mountain stream. On the contrary, some people at the bottom of the abyss of the mountain stream wanted to go outside to dig and build these platforms.

"Could it be..." Leo suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but stick his head out of the platform again and look down.

Because it has gone deep into the depths of the abyss of the mountain stream, there is no light to shine in here, and the surroundings are pitch black, only the flames in the hands of those members of the Salvation Society can be seen in the distance, and Leo can see the surroundings clearly in the dark through the ability of spiritual vision This also made him see that there seemed to be a huge boulder on the cliffs at both ends of the abyss horizontally across the abyss below the position of those people, and some buildings seemed to be built on that huge boulder.

After discovering this situation, Leo couldn't help suspecting that there was actually a complete social system in this mountain abyss, a tribal system of believers with the Eagle God at its core.

Although it seems absurd to think about it, it is not impossible to think about it carefully.

The Eagle God has been dead for so many years, and his remains are hidden in the deep mountains and abysses, which are unknown to outsiders, but for the mountain tribes living in the Dibia Mountains, they should know that this road can run through the entire There is a crevice in the mountain stream, and they will inevitably walk through this crevice.

After the city of Miria was built, this mountain crevice was used more often, and the number of people passing through it doubled.

If the Eagle God has been planning the resurrection, then He will definitely use people who walk on this gap to influence their thoughts through various methods, and finally control them and let them bring more people into the gap. In this mountain abyss, if things go on like this, it is not impossible for an unknown tribe of believers to form at the bottom of the mountain abyss, or even a small city-state.

Thinking of this, Leo felt that if his guess was right, then this matter would become a lot more interesting. Originally, he was just planning to get rid of the guys from the Salvation Faction, but he didn't expect that so many secrets would be involved, his Deep in my heart, I even began to have a little expectation.

Leo continued to follow the saviors below to go deeper into the abyss, and soon those people came to the huge rock that Leo had found before, stuck between the cliffs of the mountain stream, and a building was built on it.

Those people obviously didn't expect to see such a strange structure in the depths of the mountain stream abyss, and they all exclaimed, and then they all realized that this thing was abnormal, and they all entered the building at the same time. In a state of alert, and probed into the building.

That building is not a complex building, but a temple building in the ancient French style. The building form is very simple. A low-level layer is laid with huge stone blocks, and then a few complete stone pillars are used to prop up a roof. , and arrange some sculptures between the stone pillars, and in the center of the building there are sculptures dedicated to the gods.

However, it is not too difficult to place this simple architectural form on other places on the ground, but to place it on this boulder, the difficulty is obviously not a little bit higher. If there is no extraordinary power to intervene, then It is basically impossible to complete such a construction task at the current level of the construction industry in Vinylon World.

Obviously, those people from the Salvation Society don't know the difficulty of building such a building on the boulder. They only care about whether they can find useful things in this temple building.

In fact, after they checked the building, they did find some useful things. For example, they found some items left by the team they sent before, mainly some stained bandages. After here, encountered some attacks and was injured.

But the strange thing is that there are no traces of fighting inside or outside the building, so some people suspect that those people should have gone down to a deeper place and encountered an attack. While resting in the temple, he disappeared.

The reason why they thought that the previous group of people disappeared in the temple was mainly because they didn't find any traces of people walking up from below on the previous road, so they judged that the previous people had an accident in the temple.

However, Leo discovered more doubts through the conversations of these people and his own observations. First of all, there is no main statue in the temple, but the problem is that the statues between the stone pillars around the temple are all aimed at the middle of the temple. In the past, there was a statue of the main god who was worshiped by everyone in the middle of the temple.

Secondly, the inside of the temple is really clean, especially the floor without any dust. Obviously, it is often cleaned here, but now there is no one to see here, and no living things can even be sensed. The only thing that can feel The most important thing is that there is a strong divine power exuding from this temple.

Yes, it is indeed the power of the gods and gods. At the entrance above the abyss of the mountain stream, the power of the remains of the eagle god that Leo felt was more inclined to a supernatural energy, similar to the innate power of the extraordinary, but much stronger .

But now in this temple, what Leo sensed was very pure divine power, the kind of divine power that only belonged to official gods.

"He has been resurrected?" After sensing this divine power, Leo immediately had doubts. This kind of doubt and speculation made him have the urge to go to this temple to find out.

At this time, those people in the temple had discussed it and decided to continue down, because they all felt that they were about to reach the bottom.

After the group of people returned to the hanging ladder on the platform and continued to walk down, Leo came to the temple after these people left for a certain distance, and checked it carefully and quickly.

Soon he discovered a lot of clues that he hadn't found before. The first one was that there was a main statue before the temple, but the main statue had been moved away, and a floor was re-laid on the place where the statue was placed on the ground. , It is difficult for ordinary people to find the shades of the floor color in the dark, and naturally they cannot find the hidden details here.

The second discovery is that the divine power shrouded in this temple is not active, but rather lifeless, as if relying on external force to forcibly squeeze into this temple, and this divine power is exactly the same as the divine power of the Lord of the Sky, On the contrary, it was somewhat different from the power of the Eagle God that he had sensed before, and one could not help but suspect that this divine power was forcibly withdrawn by the Eagle God from the disciples of the Lord of the Sky.

The third one is the statues around. He found that although the statues are all human in shape, they look like some ancient generals and sages, but if you look carefully, you will see that there is a slight depression in the chest of these statues. The small pothole, it feels like there should be a gem in the pothole before.

Leo knew very well that these pits sunken in the chest were not used to place any gems at all, but the parasitic patterns left by the Betu Stars, a vassal race of the Nephiltians.

The Nephilim are a high-level civilized race and a psychic race. In the universe, there will be a large number of low-level cosmic civilizations who are willing to become their vassal races, but in fact there are only two vassal races recognized by the Nephita, and one of them is Bey. Figure stars.

The reason for this is not that the alien races of low-level cosmic civilizations look down on the Nephets, but that the Nephites are unwilling to recruit too many vassal races, and they will only recruit suitable races according to their own needs.

The Nephilim are powerful psykers, but their bodies are very fragile, especially on planets with gravity, they have to wrap themselves in psychic energy all the time.

In order to be able to make up for this racial defect, they included the Betu people who are known for their physical strength as a vassal race, and handed over their own protection work and melee attacks to the Betu people, which also made the Betu people become A very famous fighter in the universe.

When Leo was a biochemical human, he was asked to study some things about the Betu people seriously, and mastered some information about the Betu people.

The evolution of the Betu people is very special. They have to spend seven life transformations in their lifetime. Except for the first and last time they will maintain the form of the Betu people, their remaining five transformations will become parasites. The organisms absorb the genes of these organisms and create their unique evolutionary gene pools until they complete the seventh transformation and completely evolve into another higher life form.

The reason why the Nephites chose the Betus as their vassal race was because the Betus were extremely loyal. It could be said that unless they killed the Betus who had escort missions, they would never be able to harm the Nephites who were being guarded.

This also makes a saying in the universe, that is, if the Betu people are seen somewhere, then the Nephite people must be not far away.

Leo leaned over to the parasitic pattern to have a look, and counted the thorns on the parasitic pattern, so as to judge how many times the Betu people had evolved, and how many levels of psykers the protected Nepherites were.

The number of evolutions of Betu people can be judged from the long thorns on the parasitic pattern, and the number of parasites of Betu people is directly linked to the growth of Nephita. What level of Nephita's spiritual power has reached? The parasitic times are completed several times, and vice versa.

Now Leo can basically be sure that the Nephet who is protected by the Beitu people has reached at least the level of a ninth-level psychic, and judging from the current situation in the mountain abyss, this ninth-level psychic is likely to be the god of the eagle .

"Is this going to be troublesome?" Leo couldn't help but muttered in his heart, because if there is really a Betu guard accompanied by a Nephitle ninth-level psyker at the bottom of the abyss below, then how many times these Betu guards will be parasitized At least five times, and their strength is probably not much weaker than sixth-level psykers, and if their parasitic genes are good enough, they can even compete with seventh-level and eighth-level psykers.

After a little hesitation, Leo decided to continue to check the situation, but he will be more careful, and will hide his figure deeper, ready to withdraw in case of an accident.

In this way, Leo also left the giant stone temple, and continued to walk down the hanging ladder of the platform, but he was more careful, observed the surrounding situation more carefully, and used some conventional tactical stealth methods to hide himself. shape.

After walking for about ten minutes, Leo felt a burst of heat and sulfur smell coming from below, which made him instantly judge that this place should be close to volcanic lava.

At this time, those people walking in front got into a man-made mountain passage. When Leo walked to the entrance of the passage, he suddenly heard exclamations from the other side of the passage.

From the emotion contained in the voice, Leo could hear that the person who made the voice was very surprised and shocked by what he saw.

Although Leo was extremely curious, he didn't intend to go up immediately. After waiting for a while, there was another roar in the passage, and then he heard the firing sounds of some special firearms and mechanical crossbows, and Abnormal fluctuations produced by some bursts of divine power and magic.

Finding that there was a battle in front of the passage, Leo did not rush in, but looked around, and found that there was a slightly protruding stone on the cliff not far away, which could barely let him stand on it, and the stone above the stone The position is still sunken, which can hide the figure, so he quickly climbed to the stone, stood on it, leaned his body against the sunken stone wall behind, and completely hid his body.

Not long after Leo hid, he saw the members of the Salvation Society who had entered the passage rushing out of the passage in a panic, trying to climb up to the platform in front and escape from here.

However, a burst of prayers recited in ancient French suddenly came out from the passage, and along with the sound of the prayers, there appeared rays of light containing the divine power of the Lord of the Sky, and these lights fell on the members of the Salvation Society in an instant. On the body, the magic spells of the Lord of the Sky on the members of the Salvation Society not only did not play a defensive role, but instead merged with the white light and became the power to imprison the members of the Salvation Society, fixing them in place.

Then a burst of heavy feet came out of the passage, and then I saw three-meter-high, six-armed, swollen-headed monsters coming out of the passage, grabbing the members of the Salvation Society, and screaming at them. In the sound, it is dragged into the channel.
