The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After finding nothing useful in the recording room, Leo searched again in the temple.

Compared to Castle Black, the interior of the Sea God Temple can be said to be extremely tragic. On the ground that has been covered by various plants, a large number of skeletons lie quietly there.

None of these skeletons were damaged, they were extremely complete, and they were arranged neatly in rows. Judging from the surviving ornaments, these skeletons were not only clergymen of the Sea God Church, but also a large number of ordinary people. People, it looked like they were supposed to perform some kind of ritual here before they died, and then a force killed them in an instant without physically harming them.

"Is it specifically aimed at the power of spirit or soul?" In Leo's memory, there are many skills and spells that can do this, such as the spirit storm skill that can only be used by psychics above level seven, etc. Once the spirit is absorbed When it comes to a fatal impact, one will either die on the spot, or turn into a vegetative state and wait for death slowly.

Finding no other useful things in the Sea God Temple, Leo moved to another place, the port of Randall, which sank under the sea.

When Leo entered the ruins of Randall near the bottom of the sea, the expression on his face froze for a moment, because he sensed a very weak energy fluctuation remaining in the ruins of Randall port, and this energy The fluctuation can be said to be deeply engraved in his memory, so when he sensed it, he immediately remembered the source of this energy fluctuation.

"Golden giant deer!" Leo couldn't help but think of the huge Lord of the Black Forest, who was so huge that he could not help but guess in his mind: "Could it be that the Lord of the Black Forest stepped on Randall Port and sunk it?"

After this guess emerged, Leo immediately deployed his mental net, completely covering the entire Port of Randall and its surrounding areas, and then he saw an extremely obvious deer hoof footprint.

When the guess was confirmed, Leo couldn't help but gasped, wondering why the Lord of the Black Forest would leave the Black Forest and destroy Port Randall? What happened in Port Randall?

With doubts, Leo scanned the spiritual net towards the ruins of Randall Port. This time, he no longer just scanned from the surface as before, but went deep into the ruins.

The corpses, a large number of corpses were scanned by the mental network, and none of these corpses were normal human corpses, because all the bones were distorted and deformed, and it could only be judged from some parts that they should be mutated human bones.

"Mutants!" Seeing so many mutated bones, those mutated families instantly appeared in Leo's mind.

But soon Leo denied this guess, because these mutants do not conform to the mutation law of the mutant family.

Although due to various reasons, the body of ordinary people undergoes strange changes after being transformed into a family, and in the end they are completely out of human form, but no matter how serious the familyization is, even if it is the kind of familyization that is not controlled, there are some abnormalities in the human body. One part never changes, and that part is the skull, or more correctly the inside of the skull.

In the mutation caused by familyization, the shape of the human head will also change due to the mutation, but the inside of the skull will never change. That is to say, no matter how serious the familyization is, the size of the brain will still be the same as that of ordinary humans, but There may be some variation in the brain itself.

However, all the organs of these mutants buried in the ruins that Leo found through the spiritual network have mutated, and even the inside of the skull is completely mutated into a human shape. Obviously, this kind of mutation is not a family mutation, but It's more like a lethal mutation caused by some kind of genetic virus weapon.

The damage to the entire Port of Randall was so severe that it was directly pressed below the sea level. Even if there was anything left, it was just some solid building foundations, and nothing useful could be found other than that.

Although Leo was able to find very little information from these ruins due to the destruction at that time and the time later, but through this information Leo was able to deduce some general circumstances of what happened.

First of all, the accident must be Castle Black, and Sylvia also felt that the matter was very difficult, so she moved out the people in the castle to be on the safe side. Judging from the fact that she still left some servants to take care of the castle, she must have not given up on the castle at that time , I don't think what happened will damage the castle, so I still have the idea of ​​returning to the castle.

But then things took a turn for the worse, and a serious accident occurred in the castle, forcing the United Kingdom to use the most powerful means to directly destroy the castle.

However, this method of destruction did not solve this problem, but this problem spread to the nearby Randall Port, causing the people who came to Randall Port to mutate.

The Church of the Sea God in Port Randall and the people who escaped from Port Randall performed some kind of ceremony in an attempt to prevent the disaster through the power of the gods, but the result seemed not optimistic.

In the end, the golden giant deer, the lord of the Black Forest, suddenly appeared, completely erasing Randall Port in the most direct way, and the temple of the Sea God Church was too close to Randall Port, and it was also affected. All the people who took refuge here All the priests and the original priests died here, and judging from the fact that the remains of the deceased are still well preserved and the building of the Sea God Temple is roughly complete, the cause of their death may be that they directly faced a true god at close range, or even a great existence beyond the true god.

While analyzing the situation, Leo slowly rose from the bottom of the sea and swam to the shore. He felt that since he could no longer find anything useful here, there was no need to waste time here. He first went to the nearest city to collect Some information, understand the current situation in the world of Velen as follows, and then fly directly to the Mozambique continent.

Just as he was about to use his psionic wings and fly out from here, suddenly there were bursts of loud noises from the forest in the distance. These loud noises should be caused by some kind of guns, and then he saw a group of The fully armed people ran out of the forest in a panic, and quickly rushed towards the Sea God Temple.

The costumes on this team of heavily armed men are very strange. Not only do they wear various cold weapons, but each of them carries a small machine on their backs. Various size firearms.

"Damn it, it's almost here, keep going!" The leader of the team shouted to his companions who were following behind him. This sentence seemed to contain some kind of power, which made the extremely exhausted people behind him regain some energy. Quickened the pace.

However, not long after they ran out of the forest, they saw a magical monster that looked like a two-story apartment coming out of the forest.

The reason why it is said to be magical is not because of its species. In fact, this monster is a common beast on the edge of the Black Forest, but its shape is much larger than normal beasts, and some parts have also undergone mutations, making it It looks a lot hideous.

What really surprised Leo was that its body was completely transparent, looking like a monster-shaped bubble from a distance, and it did not seem to have a real body, because even if something blocked it, It also goes straight through, leaving only a thin layer of frost on the surface of the object.

This magical monster made Leo, who saw it for the first time, couldn't help but equate it with a ghost.

After the monster rushed out of the woods, it immediately found those people fleeing in front, and then chased them.

Seeing the monster chasing out, the fleeing people couldn't help speeding up their pace again, and the team leader knew that he would not be able to escape the monster's pursuit by running like this, so he stopped, shouted to his companions to hurry up, and took He picked up the weird firearm hanging on his chest, and took out a fist-sized jar from his waist, and inserted it into the machine behind his back.

At the same time as the can was inserted, the machine started to run, a stream of air was sprayed out from the air outlet at the top, and the three indicator lights next to it lit up at once.

The man immediately raised the gun in his hand, aimed at the chasing transparent monster, and fired a series of frozen bullets.

When these frozen bullets hit the monster, it immediately solidified the monster's body, which also caused the monster's speed to slow down, and it was completely frozen in place afterward.

After the monster was frozen, the leader immediately turned around and continued running towards the Sea God Temple.

However, the freezing effect of that bullet on the monster was not particularly long, and soon the monster broke free and chased after it again.

Seeing this, the fleeing people in front also took out their own ammunition, and made frozen bullets through the machine on the north to prevent the monster from approaching. In this way, they fought and retreated, and finally the group of people finally entered the range of the Sea God Temple.

When entering the range of the Sea God Temple, the transparent monster chasing behind seemed to be apprehensive and stopped, lingered two steps outside the temple, yelled twice at those people who were still nervous in the temple, and turned around to prepare leave.

However, the huge monster suddenly stopped its light footsteps, as if sensing something, it looked towards the bay formed by the sinking of Taranque Port, and then rushed towards the bay like crazy.

The huge monster ran away, so that everyone who had been tense all the time couldn't help but relax. They let out a long sigh of relief and sat on the ground limply. The few religious believers among them did not sit down and rest immediately, but He quickly walked to the outer edge of the temple square, took out a small altar, and then performed some religious ceremony. While performing the ceremony, the remaining sliver of sea god power on the statue of the sea god in the ruins of the temple seemed to be replenished. It has grown a little bit.

On the other side, the team leader and a few combat members also had no rest. They quickly boarded a dilapidated small building next to them, stood on the top of the building, and looked towards the direction where the monster was rushing.

However, the sight that caught their eyes really shocked them. They saw that the monster hadn't rushed to the seaside, as if it had encountered some kind of attack, its entire huge body shook, and then it seemed to be punctured. The bubbles disappeared from their eyes.

Rangers like them are well aware of how terrifying this kind of soul troll is. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a batch of soul weapons in the cargo they transported, their team might have been wiped out by the first wave of attack. But now this terrifying soul troll has disappeared in front of them, which makes them suspect that this troll is hidden, but also expect it to be killed by some kind of force.

"Does this monster know how to hide and camouflage?" An armed man asked the leader beside him.

Before the leader answered, another armed man responded angrily: "Of course it's impossible. These monsters can only rely on instinct to prey. If they had wisdom, they would not have retreated just now, but would have rushed up." Eat us all."

"Then it should have been killed by something?" The armed man didn't care about his companion's tone, and said, "Shall we go and have a look?"

"Are you crazy?" Now it's the leader's turn to scold him, and he stared fiercely at him and said, "Did you forget where this is? This is the source of disaster. If it wasn't for being chased There is no place to hide, I will never come here, Shui knows that there are some horrible things left here, I don’t want to escape the attack of monsters, and die here inexplicably.”

After finishing speaking, he gave a serious warning to everyone, looked back at the place where the monster disappeared, went downstairs, and let everyone take a short rest, followed by entering the forest from the other side of the temple, and left quickly.

Obviously, the sudden disappearance of the monster just now frightened him, making him leave here quickly, leaving this legendary place where the disaster originated, regardless of the physical strength that everyone had not recovered.

When these people left, Leo's spiritual net always shrouded them, but Leo didn't go forward to contact them, because he could see that these people were very nervous at the moment, and he went to contact them rashly, only To make them more nervous, he chose to use the spirit net to lock these people, and then let these people act as guides to the nearest town.

When following these people in the distance, Leo also checked the soul crystal in his hand from time to time.

This soul crystal was contributed by the transparent monster just now. Leo felt that this monster might be some kind of monster related to the soul, so when the monster sensed him and attacked him, he used the special soul rune trap The rune trap aimed at the soul was used to deal with monsters, and the effect was unexpectedly good. When the monster touched the rune trap, it was directly wiped out by the power of the rune, as if it had encountered a natural enemy. In the end, only a red crystallization of the soul.

Leo was a little surprised when he first saw this red soul crystal, because the soul crystals he got before were all silver-blue or transparent without exception, and this was the first time he saw this red soul crystal, And he also clearly felt that there was a chaotic spiritual power in this soul crystal.
