The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo, who had just left the woods, turned back and reappeared in the woods. At this moment, his face was a little gloomy, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood, and he also used the dual abilities of mental net and super long perception for the first time to carefully observe the land. Soon he was standing at the place where the middle-aged man who had just turned into a phantom disappeared.

The middle-aged man just now thought that Leo had left, so he didn't use any disguise when he escaped. The place where he stayed last had energy fluctuations that were completely different from the surrounding environment, just like ink dots on white paper striking.

"Sure enough, I was tricked!" After Leo discovered something, the gloomy expression on his face quickly dissipated, replaced by a self-deprecating smile, and while controlling the mental net to capture the remaining energy in that place Fluctuation, he said to himself.

In fact, after leaving, Leo quickly felt that something was wrong, which was mainly due to the fact that the existence was too obedient from the beginning to the end, almost matching his behavior to make corresponding actions and words and deeds. Leo felt that the other party was confident, but after thinking about it afterwards, the other party seemed to know that Leo was strong and he was weak, so he behaved obediently.

Once doubts arise, things that seemed normal before become very abnormal. For example, Leo has been so sure from beginning to end that the other party is a spiritual life form in the universe, and has never doubted that the other party is other beings that can affect the spirit. It exists mysteriously, but the reason why he is so sure is only because he believes that the power that can silently affect the spirit of his seventh-level psychic can only come from an never-determined universe like the spiritual life body life form.

He almost blindly believed in his arbitrary conjecture, and this conjecture was full of loopholes, so that after Leo left, he felt that the whole process was so absurd and ridiculous in retrospect, and then realized that something was wrong.

And now, the special energy fluctuation he caught was like clear and unmistakable evidence that he had just been tricked by a mysterious existence with a powerful mental influence ability but an extremely weak one.

The reason why the mysterious existence is so powerful is because the other party's mental manipulation ability is so strong that it can easily guide Leo's thinking, making him unconsciously believe in everything he sees and thinks, even during the influence period. There will be no doubts if the loopholes appear in front of your eyes, such as the indescribable extra relief on the stone throne.

After seeing the relief, Leo immediately subconsciously thought that this was the mysterious existence, and thought that the mysterious existence tried to search his memory, but was swallowed by the stone throne built by the spiritual world, but think carefully, the stone throne The change is not related to devouring this unknown mysterious existence, it is more related to the various encounters in the world of Poseidon, especially when he was face to face with the incarnation of Poseidon, under the pressure brought by Poseidon, Leo and the Stone Throne had a relationship. closer connection.

However, under the spiritual guidance of that mysterious being, Leo saw a slight change on the stone throne, and immediately connected with the disappearance of that mysterious being, without considering any other reasons, and after thinking about it, only the same power It is possible to have an impact on the Stone Throne, that is to say, the lowest is an Omega-level advanced life form. Obviously, that mysterious existence cannot be an Omega-level advanced life form, or even an advanced life form.

Because if the mysterious existence itself is really powerful, even if it is just a high-level life body like Leo, there is no need to entangle Leo in this way, and even tricked Leo to leave by feigning death in the end, so this While the mysterious existence has extremely powerful spiritual abilities, it is not particularly strong itself.

This can also be seen from the way the opponent attacked the caravan. If the opponent is really powerful and can easily destroy a fully armed caravan head-on, there is no need to use such methods as creating hallucinations and controlling the mind. Let's break through the caravan's defenses one by one.

Being teased like this and telling some secret things, Leo was naturally unwilling to let that mysterious existence go, so after completely recording and capturing the energy fluctuations of that mysterious existence, Leo adjusted the perception range of the spirit net When he was in a state of coping with that kind of energy fluctuation, he searched for the location of the mysterious existence in the surrounding forest, and the Kata tribe's camp not far away was naturally the focus of his search.

However, that mysterious existence was obviously very careful. Even though he had tricked Leo and let him leave by himself, he did not stay here, nor did he return to the caravan, but escaped as quickly as possible, so Lei Ou's mental network only captured that special energy fluctuation in a few places far away from this forest.

Although Leo can infer the direction where the opponent is escaping from the position where the energy fluctuations appear, and if he wants to chase, he can also catch up with the opponent, but after careful consideration, Leo chooses not to chase and kill the opponent. The unique energy fluctuations on the other party's body are marked in the perception sequence of the spiritual network. Once this mysterious existence appears within the scanning range of his spiritual network, it will be discovered immediately, and the spiritual network will spontaneously leave a soul on it. Can imprint.

However, Leo did not fully believe in the energy fluctuations that remained when the mysterious existence left, because judging from the other party's cunning behavior, the other party may have guessed that Leo would return and deliberately left some traces to make Leo believe that he had already returned. Escaping, but actually hiding nearby, such as in the camp of the Kata tribe.

Leo did not choose to leave directly like before, but walked towards the camp of the Kata tribe. He chose to still go with the caravan, not only because he still suspected that the mysterious existence was still in the caravan or camp. Outside of the ground, they hope to find clues about the mysterious existence from the caravan side.

He felt that it might not be a coincidence that the mysterious existence appeared in the Fire Dancer Caravan, even judging from the person he attacked the caravan, he seemed to be targeting the Fire Dancer Caravan, so there must be a The reason for the attack, as long as you find out the reason, you may be able to follow the clues and find out the other identity of that mysterious existence.

When Leo returned to the caravan, the misunderstanding between the caravan and the Kata tribe’s camp had not been resolved. The leaders of the two sides were still talking in front of the gate of the Kata tribe. Judging from the matter, it is obvious that the misunderstanding has been explained almost.

Both sides were terrified just now. One side suddenly found that the door that should have been closed was open, and there was a heavily armed caravan outside the door, while the other side found that the campsite that was originally empty had more people out of thin air. Many people were killed, and everyone had a weapon in their hands. In this case, the two sides still did not make a move, which is already considered very lucky.

However, there is no action because the two sides are still separated by a distance, and there is a protective wall of the campsite. Although the gate of the campsite is open, there is a spare door mechanism at the top of the gate, which can be lowered at any time to close the gate. Blocked, so the safety of the campsite is not a big problem.

If the caravan has already entered the camp at this moment, and the two sides suddenly appear in front of each other, then someone will instinctively attack the stranger who suddenly appeared beside them in a panic, then the fire dancer caravan will inevitably fight with the card The people in the Ta tribe camp came to a desperate fight without warning and without reason, until both sides calmed down at the same time, or one side was completely killed.

Leo, who returned to the caravan, immediately thought of this method that could completely destroy the Fire Dancer caravan, and he couldn't help but suspect that this might be what the mysterious existence would do next. If it is a team, then the Kata tribe's camp is already full of corpses.

The people in the caravan didn't know that they escaped a crisis of extinction just now, and they didn't show any abnormality when Leo came back, and they didn't even realize that Leo, an outsider, had left just now. Into the bivouac to fix this thing.

Although they have not encountered any monster attacks on this road, compared to other business routes, it can be said to be extremely smooth, but they did not know that they would not encounter monster attacks on the road, so the missing people concentrated on their surroundings In addition to the mountain road, the physical fatigue is far more than walking on the normal road, so the caravan can be said to be exhausted at the moment, just want to eat some hot food in a safe place , and then have a good sleep.

Soon following the loud orders of the caravan director Bran Fire Dancer, the caravan members who had already prepared began to enter the camp one after another under the comment of the soldiers at the Kata tribe camp. When they came down to the camping place arranged for them, they began to camp and repair according to the normal procedure.

After arranging all the matters, Bran asked the assistant beside him if Leo had returned. After getting a positive answer, he handed over the matter to his subordinates, and he hurried to serve Leo. in the arranged camp.

"Mr. Leo, just now..." Bran was about to ask something after seeing Leo who was thinking about something in the camp, but the question got stuck in his throat before he could say it, because his mind was full of confusion at the moment. Blank, I can't think of what question I want to ask at all, but I have an urge to ask, this abnormality makes him say: "What do I want to ask? Why can't I remember?"

Seeing Bran's appearance, Leo could guess that the other party's current behavior may be a side effect of the mysterious existence's mental influence. Obviously, many memories have been erased together with the mysterious existence's removal of the spiritual influence on them. I went, but because the other party acted hastily, it was not wiped clean, which caused Bran to have this abnormal situation.

Leo signaled Bran, who was still trying to recall what he wanted to ask, to sit down, and then quickly explained the mysterious existence that could affect other people's spirits and some things that happened before.

"Tagaloga!" After listening to Leo's narration, Bran showed a look of horror on his face, and couldn't help saying a name in an ancient tribal language.

There are tens of thousands of tribes in Mozambique, not counting the primitive tribes hidden in the wilderness. Although their languages ​​have some commonalities, most of them are completely independent. No one in the world can understand them. All tribal languages, Leo is no exception.

But now, Leo can understand the name Bran said, because this name has a fixed pronunciation and intonation among most tribes in the Mozambique continent, which means that these tribes have a strong understanding of this name. Emphasis is also the hidden meaning behind the name they are extremely afraid of.

Tagaloga has only one meaning for all the tribes in Mozambique, and that is the spirit of death. According to legend, Tagaloga is the embodiment of death in the wilderness. Wherever he appears, there is death, and death is not one by one, but a group of people. Groups, and even entire tribes died overnight.

If it was just death, it would not make all the tribes in the Mosang continent fear it. The reason for these tribes' fear is that all the people and tribes who died because of Tagaloga died inexplicably, such as a couple who were originally in love with each other. The couple suddenly killed each other as if they regarded each other as enemies, and while killing each other, the expressions on their faces still looked like they loved each other deeply.

Death is not something to be feared by the tribes in the Mosang continent. In their view, their own death is not a real death. Their death is just returning to the embrace of the mother of nature in the wilderness. Ways to be reborn beside Mother Nature.

However, in their view, the souls of all those killed by the spirits of the dead will be taken away by the spirits of the dead after death, and it is impossible to be reborn according to the normal procedure, but permanent death. This is what they really fear The place.

This kind of fear has been rooted in all the tribes in the Mosang continent since childhood, and because various legends about Tagaloga have been compiled into bedside stories that every tribal child has heard since childhood, it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that until now In this day and age, those who were born in the tribe still fear Tagaloga.

For a period of time, the whole Kingdom of England was very obsessed with these tribal stories, and compiled these stories into books, dramas, etc. Among them, the story of Tagaloga was adapted into many kinds of dramas, and it can also be said to be a household name. .

At this moment, Leo also found the information about Tagaloga from the database amidst Bran's suggestive exclamation, and understood why Bran reacted immediately after hearing his narration , because some of the legendary stories recorded in the Tagalog materials are surprisingly similar to what he narrated.

I just don't know if that mysterious existence is the legendary Tagalog, or whether the other party just drew inspiration from the legend of Tagalog and created his own method of using abilities.
