The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo quietly hid in the recess of the cliff beside him, watching the rescue members who tried to escape were captured, and then he listened carefully to the various movements coming out of the passage, and after confirming that there was no one in the passage , then came down from the cliff and returned to the entrance of the passage.

This passage seems to have been dug by hand, and the end should be the other side of the cliff in front of us.

When the abyss fissure arrived here, it was already somewhat different from the fissure above. In the distance ahead, one could vaguely see that the fissure turned a corner and began to extend in another direction, which happened to make this cliff a barrier.

Leo looked at the surrounding cliffs, and he found that not far below, he could see some dilapidated landing platforms and hanging ladders that had not been maintained for a long time. These platforms and hanging ladders continued to extend until the corner of the crack before disappearing.

It seems that this platform and hanging ladder should have been built by people in the past. It was not until the mountain was excavated and a more convenient passage was built that the road made by this platform and hanging ladder was completely abandoned.

Leo stood at the entrance of the passage and thought for a while, then turned around and climbed down the cliff to the platform, stepped on the broken hanging ladder, and detoured along the abandoned road.

The reason why he didn't choose to take a shortcut and go directly through the passage was mainly because he felt that there might be something in this passage, and these things might sound an alarm when he appeared in the passage, revealing his whereabouts, in that case It was impossible for him to check the situation secretly.

Although it is dangerous to take the old road, for example, due to disrepair, some of the hanging stairs have cracks, and they will be easily broken when stepping on them. If ordinary people have already fallen into the abyss, and these small troubles are nothing to Leo. What, before the hanging ladder broke, he had already walked up that ladder.

Soon Leo came to the corner of the crevasse. The platform and hanging ladder where the strange scream was originally shattered and fell. Leo had to climb the crevice on the cliff and move over a little bit.

Although he has a lot of spiritual skills and witchcraft to solve this problem, such as directly using spiritual power to stick his feet on the cliff and walk over like a normal person, he feels that the power of the surrounding gods is getting stronger and stronger. He is powerful, and there is a shadow of monitoring in the domain. If he uses extraordinary power, it will inevitably cause a response from the domain of gods. In that case, his whereabouts may also be exposed.

Now, using the most primitive climbing skills, Leo turned over the corner of the crack without a sound, landed on a slightly better-preserved platform on the other side, and calmly watched everything that appeared in front of him.

Just like what Leo thought when he felt waves of heat waves and the smell of sulfur coming from the crack, after the crack turned to the other end, the scene in front of him was completely different.

In the distance, the bottom of the pitch-black abyss has been filled with a lava river that came out of nowhere, and this lava river has been extending forward along the crack, with no end in sight.

The reason why this lava river didn't spread to this crack was not because the crack was high and the lava river couldn't spread, but because there was an invisible force from the bottom of the crack to the top of the crack, completely Block the emerging lava.

However, Leo discovered that the force blocking the lava was not some supernatural force, but an energy force field, a powerful energy force field at least at the level of a space city.

Space city is something that not all civilizations can build in the universe, and its technical content is even much higher than that of Brood Warship, whether it is the internal ecological simulation system of space city or the star core power of space city Engines are all symbols of advanced technological civilization, and the energy force field device that protects the entire space city can be said to be the smallest, but also the most difficult device to manufacture.

The reason why it is simple is that the principle of this energy force field device is no different from the energy force field on a battleship. Even the Earth Federation can manufacture similar energy force field devices. It is said that it is the most difficult to manufacture because it is not possible for ordinary cosmic civilizations to manufacture an energy force field device that can wrap the entire space city and continue to operate for tens of thousands of years. Only less than one-tenth of the civilizations that dominate the higher civilization races can manufacture.

Leo had entered a space city of a higher civilization more than once, so the energy force field of the space city was so familiar that he easily recognized that the energy force field blocking the lava river came from the energy force of the space city The field device, which means that at least one space city wreckage of the advanced civilized race of the universe fell here, and the energy field device in the wreckage can still be used, at least part of it can be used.

However, the energy force field is not the focus of Leo's attention. His focus is on the building complex in the lava river.

I saw a huge remains in the lava river quietly blocking it, only a pair of wings that had turned into bones protruded from the lava river, and the dense bones on the wings were framed on the cliffs on both sides of the crack. On these skeletons A series of simple and weird buildings were built, gradually forming a very special urban area.

Although judging from the style of the buildings themselves, these buildings are very old ancient French temple buildings, giving people a feeling of seeing an ancient city, but in fact the equipment placed on these buildings is not so old, at least Leo saw through extraordinary vision that some energy harvesting devices that belong to advanced cosmic civilizations are fixed at the bottom of the building to collect the energy of the lava river below. He also saw a large number of climate adjustment devices installed in some squares in the urban area. With these devices, even if the urban area is on the lava river full of high-temperature and poisonous gas, the people living in the urban area will not be affected in any way.

There are a large number of creatures living in this lava river city. These creatures include completely mutated monsters and unmutated humans, but most of them are covered with a layer of horny skin, with an insect head, and many hands and feet. Betu people.

The status of these Betu people is very high in the urban area, and they live in the upper floors of the city. The Betu people who live in the urban area below are all managers. Whether they are monster families or ordinary humans, they will be humble when they see Betu people. bowed his head in salute.

It's just that the Betu people are not the highest in the urban area. At the top of the lava river city area, that is, the city at the top of the wing skeleton, there are some people with higher status than the Betu people. A nephita that closely resembles a jellyfish.

Leo didn't see the Nephet with his own eyes, because the holographic camouflage device used for space battleships was installed in that urban area. Nephieters.

However, a huge Nephet statue in that urban area is enough to show that there are Nephets in this urban area, and their status is also the highest in the urban area.

In addition, he also found that there are a large number of god statues in the city. These statues are installed in various places in the city, making it convenient for ordinary people and mutant monsters to visit in the city. These statues are not the usual one main statue, but three. The gods were fused together, and the three gods were the eagle god, the sky lord and the nephita.

After seeing these weird statues of Neferites and a large number of Betus, Leo has already confirmed in his heart that this is a city built by Neferites. He hasn't figured out a city yet, and he doesn't plan to figure it out.

Because he already felt something was wrong from the weird situation of the statue, and he also felt that the surrounding divine power field was very weird.

Due to being close to the remains of the eagle god under the lava river, the source of divine power, the strength of the divine power domain has increased a lot, and the power contained in it has also become clearer due to the lack of barriers and distance distribution, and Lei, who is very sensitive to energy details Ou quickly felt that the surrounding divine power domain had more power than the divine power domain he had felt above, and among these powers the strongest, even powerful enough to rival the divine power itself, was a source of power. Psychic energy from Omega-level advanced life forms.

The hidden spiritual power in the field of divine power, the weirdness of the statues in the city, and the magic spells used by those monsters to capture the members of the Salvation Society were all integrated by Leo, so that he could vaguely guess what was going on in this lava river city. what happened.

To put it simply, the Nephita who have been exiled here have an Omega-level high-level life body, but there is something wrong with this Omega-level high-level life body. It may be that the rejection of the world has had a great impact on him. He was forced to take the initiative to integrate into this world, and the method for him to take the initiative to integrate was to create a doctrine of the Trinity, using the corpse of the eagle god as a springboard to replace the sky lord.

Although this method of reviving the dead sounds absurd, it feels that there is basically no possibility of success, because even in the world of Velen, the gods retreat, but gods like the Lord of the Sky who have many believers can still carry out powerful attacks on the real world. For example, what Erase Demigod, the Lord of the Birth and Extinction of Everything, was nothing more than launching sequential magical attacks.

The power of the Lord of the Sky is stronger than that of the Lord of the Birth and Death of All Things. Once he senses that someone has stolen his divine power, he will definitely find the source and erase it.

If the Omega-level high-level life form of the Nephita can still have the power of its heyday, it may be able to confront the Lord of the Sky head-on, but the problem is that the Omega-level high-level life body is more likely to be dead, and the power on the body has been exhausted. Falling into the valley, facing the attack of the sky lord, he has only one dead end.

However, now that the gray fog seals the sea, the power and perception of the gods are also blocked and isolated by the gray fog, which also gives this Nephite high-level life body an opportunity. He only needs to usurp If the Lord of the Sky believed in the Velen Continent and re-spreaded his doctrine of the Trinity, then even if the gray fog disappeared and the Lord of the Sky sensed it, it would be impossible to cause any fatal harm to him.

After drawing a complete picture in his heart, Leo felt inexplicable worry, because if this matter continues, even if the Lord of the Sky cannot change the fact that his belief in the Velen Continent has been usurped, then A struggle against the usurper will also inevitably be launched, which will definitely trigger a fierce battle of the gods, and the battlefield of the battle of the gods is likely to be the Velen Continent, which will definitely be a disaster for the people living on the Velen Continent .

Leo thought that he had no intention of staying here to observe the movement, nor did he plan to sneak into the city. He turned around silently along the broken hanging ladder platform, returned to the entrance of the previous passage, and then walked back the same way.

Although Leo can be sure that he should be able to find some more useful things in the urban area, and even obtain some technological devices of advanced cosmic civilizations that can still function, but compared to harvesting, the danger hidden in them is greater, Leo He felt that once he set foot in the city, he might be found and arrested immediately.

The reason for the discovery of the whereabouts is not necessarily extraordinary power, but more likely to be some identification system originating from the advanced civilization of the universe.

Rather than taking the risk of sneaking into the city built by the Nephites, Leo would rather spread his guesses and discoveries to see what the reaction of the Church of the Lord of the Sky and other churches on Velen Continent would be.

Unlike when he came, Leo didn't need to wait for the members of the Salvation Society to go down. He could go up with all his strength, and the time spent was also shortened. It took less than 20 minutes to return to the canyon passage in the crevice of the mountain stream superior.

It's just that the safe journey seems to be over here. He found that the monsters hiding on the cliff seemed to have received some kind of order not to allow anyone to leave. After seeing Leo from the abyss below When it got out, it jumped out of the cliff where it was hiding, and fell towards Leo like rain.

Facing the siege, Leo seemed calm and unhurried. His body seemed to have lost his bones. When he encountered an attack, he avoided various attacks with an abnormal posture. At the same time, the crystal long sword made by crystal magic also appeared In his hand, he stabbed at every vital point exposed by these monsters.

After a round of attack, all the monsters near Leo were pierced through the heart by Leo's crystal long sword without exception, and Leo himself was unharmed.

Leo didn't clean up the corpses of these monsters, but he took out a monster with obvious mutation characteristics from the corpses, and this monster had a pair of distorted and deformed sky lord holy rings on its arms, and a sky lord on its chest Holy emblem mark.

Judging from the holy commandments and holy emblem marks on the arm, the corpse of this monster was a senior priest of the Church of the Lord of the Sky before it mutated. This should be the result of artificial mutation, which can also be used as evidence to prove that he Found in a crevice in a mountain stream.
