The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Because those monsters had to be avoided, Leo traveled very fast. The journey that took half a day before now took less than three hours.

It's just that Leo didn't continue walking, not because Leo was tired, but because Sean was in a very bad state at the moment, and he still didn't wake up from the coma after almost three hours, and Leo also found that Sean seemed to have fallen into some kind of nightmare, and some of the experiences in the nightmare also affected the reality, such as some scars on his body, and what's worse, some mutated items appeared on his body, For example, some small tokens grow from the back of the ears to the neck, and some fleshy tentacles grow from the corners of the mouth.

Leo estimated that if he didn't find a way to pull Sean out of the nightmare, but let him continue to wander in the nightmare, then the mutation on Sean's body would become permanent, and even Sean would be completely lost in the mutation , just like those fallen mutants in Velen world.

Naturally, Leo would not watch Xiao En's situation worsen. He found a mountain and came to the top. Just like the tops of other mountains, there is also a perfectly semicircular arch here.

He put Sean on the ground next to the arch, then took out some items for building a camp from the storage space, built a temporary camp, and then took out some rune traps, carefully arranged them around.

"Huh! Disappeared!" Just as he was arranging the rune trap, his eyes inadvertently swept across the roof of the temple as his destination, but he found that the distance between the roof of the temple was much closer. One of the high mountains at the angle is only one or two hours away from their current peak at the same speed as they were just going.

This also shows that the previous state of space folding has disappeared. As for the reason for the disappearance, it should be related to the previous trident light, or the hole in the sea water film in the sky, but he doesn't know how long this situation will last. Space folding When and when will the situation reappear.

However, this discovery also made Leo hesitate whether he should cancel the decision to camp here, because according to the current situation, as long as he continues on his way, he believes that he can reach the place where the temple is located within ten hours.

After thinking about it for a while, Leo chose to stay here temporarily to camp, rescue Sean, and then continue to the target location.

After making a decision, Leo continued to arrange the rune traps on the ground. These rune traps were remade by Leo, adding his knowledge of runes, magic circles, witchcraft, power of the abyss, power of gods, etc. The new understanding of power, the power is more than ten times or even dozens of times stronger than the previous rune traps, and more importantly, these rune traps no longer exist alone, but are combined into an interlocking, capable Disassemble the reused runic circle.

After setting up the trap and carefully checking that there were no dead spots, he came to lie down next to Sean, and quickly fell asleep as if he was sleeping normally, but in fact he was using the power of nightmare now, Entered Sean's nightmare at the moment.

It is not the first time that Leo has used the power of nightmares to enter other people's dreams. When he was in the Black Forest, he had used this ability to enter the dreams of those intelligent creatures in the Black Forest to explore the mysteries of the Black Forest. It's a pity that these intelligent creatures are protected by the power of the Black Forest, and they don't bring him too many secrets of the Black Forest.

Later, after leaving the Black Forest, he also tried to enter ordinary dreams, and everything went well, but this was the first time he entered other people's nightmares like this, because according to his understanding of dreams, ordinary dreams and nightmares are dangerous. In terms of sex, there is a big gap, for example, he was attacked just after entering Sean's nightmare dream.

Leo looked at the fleshy ball full of sharp teeth in his hand, and scratched it slightly with his palm, but the smashed fleshy ball didn't smile as quickly as he encountered in other dream worlds, and blended into the In the dream, it still exists in his eyes, just like a real object.

Leo didn't spend too much time on this dream monster, he now needs to confirm the status of this dream world, find Sean, and bring him out of his nightmare.

I saw that in this nightmare world, the sky was the same as the sky and the sea outside. Obviously, this shocking scene left a deep impression on Xiao En, so that he completely restored it in his dream.

It's just that, unlike the sky sea outside, there are islands floating in the sky sea in this dream world. These islands are large and small, surrounded by sea water, but if you look closely, you can see that the islands seem to be Some people were active, and some smelter chimneys could even be seen emitting thick smoke.

Leo quickly recognized that those islands should be Sean's fragmented consciousness. These fragmented consciousnesses are all backup dream scenes. Once Sean's dream needs some of them, the selected fragments of consciousness will be integrated into the dream. In it, it becomes a part of the dream, and those discarded dream fragments will be separated.

Right now he is in a forest, judging from the types of surrounding trees, it should be somewhere in the northern highlands of the Kingdom of England, because the plants here are all unique plants and shrubs in the northern highlands, because this is a dreamland, except Apart from the power of nightmare, there is no other power that can be used, and the spirit net can't be used naturally, making it impossible for him to judge how big this forest is and what kind of environment it is around.

But this did not cause any trouble to Leo. He quickly climbed to the top of a tree, stood on the top of the branch and looked around, and soon he found a town on the side of the forest, which was also the only town .

After confirming his position, Leo went down to the ground and walked towards the town. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the hillside outside the town.

Although he had arrived in the town, Leo didn't go in immediately, but found a place where he could hide his body and hid, then quietly observed the movement in the town.

The reason why he was so cautious was because he found that the townspeople in this town were not human beings, but monsters that mutated in various ways. On the contrary, human beings were regarded as prey and food by these monsters, because Lei Ou saw a human corpse hanging in front of a meat shop in the town, and the monster shop owner was still using the meat from the human corpse to hand to the monster townspeople waiting at the door.

It can be seen from this that if Leo rushed in rashly just now, he would only be hunted by the townspeople as food.

"Is Sean so anti-human in his heart?" Seeing this scene, Leo couldn't help but have a question in his mind.

Although the dreams are all false, there is also a kind of reality hidden in the falsehood. For example, this scene now undoubtedly shows that in the depths of Sean's heart, these mutated monsters are his kind, and human beings are just as The bottom layer of food generally exists.

In addition, everything in the dream represents some subconscious secrets in Sean's heart. If Leo is given enough time to observe these dreams, he can dig out all the secrets in Sean's heart. Unfortunately, he is not here. It came for Sean's inner secret, he came here to find Sean and take him out.

Because he had the experience of entering a dream before, Leo quickly found the most likely hiding place for Sean's consciousness from the internal layout of the town. This place was in a small red building in the center of the town.

The reason why Leo thinks that the small building hides Sean's subconscious is mainly because of the places where the monsters wander in the town, and if there is nothing there, the small building is wrapped in the center. In addition, the buildings in the whole town Although the colors are different, only that small building is the only red color, and compared to other houses with strange structures in the town, the structure of that small building is more normal, like a real small building that will not collapse .

After confirming the location, Leo began to look for someone suitable for his disguise. He was going to directly disguise himself as those monsters, walk through the town, and reach the small building.

Soon he found a suitable target, and saw a monster with a human body, an insect lower body and a bird's head walked out of the town and came to the woods next to the town, as if to collect something.

Leo followed the monster the moment it walked out of the town, followed the monster into the woods, and jumped onto the tree above the monster's head without a sound, and let the power of nightmare It condensed into a sharp thorn in his hand and pierced towards the monster's head.

The result was obvious. The monster fell to the ground without any resistance. Leo put his hands on the monster and used his nightmare power to assimilate the dream monster. While assimilating the monster, his body gradually transformed into that monster. look like.

At the moment when this assimilation was completely completed, Leo also obtained information about this monster from the power of nightmare.

This monster is a part of Xiao En's desire, which can be called the recognition of hard work. He hopes to gain the recognition of the people around him through his continuous efforts, but judging from the number and types of various monsters in the town Well, such half-human, half-ant monsters are really rare, which means that Sean's desire in this regard is very low, so low that he hardly thinks that he can gain the approval of others through hard work.

Leo was not interested in knowing what Sean's mentality was like. After he turned into a monster, he immediately turned around and walked out of the woods, and then tried to approach the town to see how other monsters around him treated his fake monster. And the result was very good, no monsters blocked him or attacked him, all the monsters regarded him as the same kind, and he entered the town smoothly.

After entering the town, Leo had no intention of wandering around in other parts of the town. He went straight to the red building in the center of the town, and was about to find the entrance to enter.

At this time, all the monsters around suddenly stopped their movements, motionless as if turned into stone sculptures, and seeing this situation, Leo also did not make any movements, while observing the surrounding situation.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a few pieces of land suspended in the sky and sea above my head sinking quickly as if regaining weight, passed through the water film, and fell towards the small town below, hitting the small town in the blink of an eye .

Then a strange scene happened. The fallen land that should have been enough to completely destroy the town below did not cause any harm to the town. Instead, it quickly merged into the land of the town like rainwater falling into a pond. .

Almost in the blink of an eye, the hut that was in front of him a moment ago has already teleported to a far away place. Leo can barely see a line of target houses in the distance from the gaps between some overlapping houses. Unique red roof.

Obviously, this is Sean's subconscious self-protection. He doesn't want his original consciousness to be exposed, so he uses the method of expanding the area of ​​the town to keep the hut where his original consciousness hides away from intruders.

Moreover, Leo soon discovered that not only had he distanced himself from himself, but his subconscious had also set up extremely tight defenses around the hut, and the monsters serving as defensive forces were all surprisingly consistent in appearance. They are all half-human, half-fish monsters, and each of these monsters holds a gleaming trident in their hands.

Seeing this scene, Leo shook his head slightly. Although Sean seemed to protect his original consciousness again and created what he thought was the strongest monster to act as a guard, it didn't do anything to Leo.

Leo moved directly to that side, and then found an opportunity to draw out a half-man, half-fish monster, killed the monster with the same method, assimilated the monster, disguised the monster, and passed through those half-man, half-fish monsters without hindrance The line of defense came to the side of the house.

It's just that this time, he didn't give Sean's original consciousness in the room any time to defend himself again, so he smashed the window of the room and rushed into the room.

The moment he fell into the room, the scene inside the room changed instantly, from an ordinary indoor room to a sunny garden with birds singing and flowers scenting, Leo's body was also lifted by a force. The half-man half-fish disguise turned into a normal human being.

Leo looked around and heard laughter not far away, so he followed the sound and walked over, and soon came to a lawn in the garden.

I saw that the family seemed to be having a picnic on the lawn at the moment. The father and mother were arranging the picnic cloth, taking the food out of the basket and putting it on the cloth. The children were playing around, letting any Anyone who sees this scene can feel that everything here is very peaceful, peaceful, happy, and perfect.

However, all of this is full of falsehood in Leo's eyes. Everything, the behavior of parents, children, etc., looks so fake, just like a group of theater actors acting on the stage.

"Is this the scene you wish to see?" Leo suddenly turned his head and asked.

At this time, he saw a small person who looked exactly like Sean but was only the size of a bug emerged from a flower beside him. This small person stood on the edge of the petal, looked at Leo, then looked at Looking at the lawn, he said, "Yes, this is my dream scene."
