The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The members of the three lumberjack families are all from the Powell family. This is the family with the largest number of members in the lumberjack family, but the overall strength of the family is not the strongest. This is mainly because the strength of this family is mainly auxiliary.

For example, people in this family have an extra glandular organ than ordinary people. When needed, this glandular organ will secrete a tasteless gas. Animals that smell this gas will take the initiative to stay away from the gas However, the plants in the place covered by the gas can grow faster. The precious plants that usually take more than ten years to grow, under the stimulation of this glandular gas, only need more than a year to grow into a mature one.

As a result, the forest areas controlled by this family are often able to cut down some extremely precious wood. By selling these woods, this family has also become the wealthiest family of lumberjacks.

However, everything is useless now. All their wealth is in the bank outside the mountain. When they fled into the mountain, they had no time to take any property from the bank. They could only enter the mountain with the only things in the family residence. Fortunately, their abilities are still useful even after entering the mountain. They can use glandular gas to disperse wild beasts around the ancestral land of the lumberjack family. Walk freely in the forest.

Therefore, the ranger and the city guard of the ancestral mountain city have become the preferred positions of this family. For those old people who are unwilling to move, they naturally choose the city guard, but for young people who love to move, they are more willing Be a hard-working ranger.

Although the lumberjack families have taken refuge in the mountains, not all lumberjack families live in the ancestral mountain city, and some families, especially some hostile families, choose to live alone in the cottages they built in the past.

However, even if they live separately, the connection with each other cannot be severed, especially in the current difficult situation, it is particularly important to connect with each other and communicate with each other.

In this way, rangers not only need to patrol the forest safety, but also need to act as messengers, linking several families of loggers who live alone.

Although the lumberjack family will not be affected by the special power of Truber Mountain, this does not mean that they are absolutely safe in the primeval forest of Truber Mountain. There are also a large number of dangerous animals inhabiting Truber Mountain. These animals seemed to have been eroded by the power of Truber Mountain and mutated. Even the lumberjack family, which is famous for its force, dare not say that members of its own family can retreat unscathed from the attack of these animals.

Not long ago, when various lumberjack families entered the mountain, they were more or less attacked by such ferocious animals. Although they all successfully repelled the animals in the end, their members also suffered some casualties. Only the entire Powell family Arrived at the ancestral mountain city without injury.

When Leo and Sylvia set off to enter the mountain, the three members of the Powell family who were forced to act as guides all thought of a way out of the predicament. While leading the way, they also used their glandular gas as before. To disperse possible beasts.

It's just that this time, the glandular gas they produced wasn't particularly large, it just covered a faint layer around their bodies. Such a thin layer of gas could barely disperse the beast when it approached, but other people around, In other words, Leo and Silvia were not under protection.

However, they didn't know that Leo and Sylvia had already noticed the changes in the three of them while they were releasing the glandular gas.

Before setting off, Leo and Sylvia had already learned about the abilities of the various logger families, including the abilities of the Powell family.

It's just that they didn't realize until now that the glandular gas that the Powell family thought was some kind of body odor gas had nothing to do with smell at all. Internal existence is different, this energy wave can exist for a long time once released.

In Leo's view, this energy wave is definitely not only used to disperse wild animals and promote plant growth, but also has other stronger functions. However, judging from various situations, it is obvious that the Powell family has developed and mastered their own abilities. It's just at the superficial stage.

From the actions of the three members of the Powell family, it was not difficult for Leo and Sylvia to guess what they were thinking. They didn't care about it, as long as the three of them were good guides.

As the three of them had hoped, after entering the forest for a while, a group of wild beasts appeared around the group of people, slowly tracking them, looking for an opportunity to attack.

The three guides didn't know what the beasts around them were. They had never approached such a close distance before, and they were usually far away. After sensing the glandular gas released by them, they automatically avoided it. , such a close distance like now, so close that you can hear the breathing of these beasts, even though the three of them knew that nothing would happen to them, they still couldn't help but feel nervous and scared, their bodies gathered together involuntarily, and put their hands on their waists On hunting knives that have been used as ornaments in the past.

Compared with the three of them, Leo and Sylvia looked calmer. They just glanced at the surrounding black forest, and ignored the sound of the beasts trampling on the branches and the heavy and malicious voices around them. Breathing.

Just when a group of people came to a relatively empty forest clearing, the bright light on the clearing was in stark contrast to the dark environment in the forest before. The three guides had to stop for a while because of the light change, slightly I closed my eyes for a moment to let myself adjust to the change of light.

Right at this moment, the wild beasts that were following around seemed to know that the time had come, they got out of the dense forest one after another, biting at Leo and Sylvia who were two positions behind, as for the three in front People seem to be ignored by these wild beasts, no wild beast is attacking them.

Judging from the appearance of these beasts, they should all be common forest wolves in the Otter Federation, but their shape is two or three times larger than ordinary forest wolves, about the size of a horse, and each wolf's mouth is full of They have blade-like teeth, and their fur is more like having some kind of psoriasis, some are bald, and some are long haired, which looks very weird.

"Spotted wolf!" Although the three of them were not attacked, they all cried out in horror after seeing the beast.

They all know that this kind of spotted wolf is definitely a bully in the Trube Mountain forest. Once they live in groups, they will hunt together once they identify their prey. Usually the prey cannot escape. This time, the lumberjack family that entered the mountain appeared The vast majority of those casualties were caused by this spotted wolf.

However, before the three of them could recover from their fear of the bald wolves, an even more shocking scene appeared in front of their eyes. They only saw a flash of light, and then those who besieged Leo and Hill Via's spotted wolf fell to the ground. Before it was over, all the flesh and blood of the spotted wolf was scattered on the ground as if it had lost its restraint. A complete wolf skeleton was presented in front of the three of them.

The three of them stared wide-eyed. Looking at all this, they might not understand what the white light was, but they knew very well that the white light instantly killed all the bald wolves, and the flesh and bones were perfectly decomposed. What made them even more terrified was that the dismembered bald wolves were still alive, and they could still see the beating hearts in those Lang's skeletons, and the shaking of the eyeballs protected by the skulls, which looked extremely strange.

"Continue to lead the way." Sylvia wiped the blood-stained sword of the knight, and then instructed the three guides.

At this moment, the three of them saw clearly that at some point Sylvia had pulled out the extremely gorgeous knight's long sword hanging from her waist, and also realized what was going on with the light that she had seen before. The shock on his face not only didn't subside, but intensified even more.

Because of the power of the holy deed, these lumberjack families have physical fitness beyond ordinary people, so in addition to their daily work, most of them will learn the use of some weapons under the arrangement of the family, even if the shotgun has become a weapon now. Mainstream weapons, but for them, cold weapons are still the focus of their learning.

Although because of their strength, they prefer to use some heavy weapons, such as axes that are often used, etc., but as the most commonly used knight sword in cold weapons, they still spend some time learning. The Powell family itself is very rich. The cold weapon teachers invited are all really capable people. For example, the knight long sword invited a retired church knight leader from abroad, and the knight long sword learned is also very authentic.

However, now they find that the authentic knight long sword sword skills they have learned are nothing compared to the knight long sword used by Sylvia just now. The knight leader who taught the long sword sword skill may not be able to actually fight such a gorgeous and terrifying knight long sword. In their opinion, this is beyond the scope of cold weapons, and it is already an unknown mysterious power.

At this time, they suddenly thought of what they had done, and thought that they might offend Leo and Sylvia, and the fear in their eyes became even stronger.

Leo seemed to see through the minds of these people, and said: "Don't worry, as long as you are good guides and take us to your ancestral mountain city, we won't do anything to you, but you have to pay attention to one thing, then It’s best to lead the way honestly, and don’t play tricks, after all, you can forgive once, but the number of times is too many..."

Although Leo hadn't finished speaking, the three of them knew exactly what the unfinished part was, and nodded quickly to express that they would lead the way honestly.

In fact, even if Leo didn't say that, the three of them probably wouldn't have the guts to play any more tricks. After all, those bald wolves that were enough to cause heavy losses to dozens of people were straightened out in an instant, and they still couldn't figure out what to do. There is still that kind of beast in the forest that can pose a threat to these two people.

Then they gradually calmed down and began to lead Leo and Sylvia to the depths of the forest again, but this time the glandular gas they released not only enveloped the two of them, Leo and Sylvia Also in the package of glandular gas.

Leo and Sylvia did not object to this. Although they were not afraid of the ferocious beasts in the forest, doing more would be better than doing less, so as to reduce being attacked by ferocious beasts and save them from wasting unnecessary effort.

Leo even took this opportunity to carefully study this special energy wave of the Powell family through the spiritual network. For this reason, he also put away the talisman of the twisting power to avoid the influence of the twisting power and let Hill Via grasped his arm to lead the way, while he was affected by the unknown force of Truber Mountain, and at the same time, he perceived the details of the energy wave through the mental network.

In this way, the group of people walked through the forest for two days, passing by a forest walled city built by a family of lumberjacks. As for going inside the walled city, the three of them didn't even dare to think about it.

When they just came out of the forest and started to enter the mountains, Leo stopped sensing this special energy wave and put on the amulet of twisting power again.

The reason why he stopped was not because he had mastered all the secrets in this energy wave, in fact he just couldn't continue to perceive this energy wave under the influence of the unknown force of Truber Mountain.

After entering the mountain, the unknown power emanating from Truber Mountain also increased a lot. Leo could no longer control the spirit net normally, so he had to stop researching this special energy wave.

Although he has not been able to find out all the secrets of this energy wave, he has also researched some useful things, such as the ability to drive away wild animals, promote the growth of plants, etc., which he can already imitate through spiritual energy, and can even be used directly The power of nightmare perfectly imitates the energy wave.

In addition, he also discovered another usage of this energy wave, but this usage needs to be used in conjunction with the mental net, forming an energy field within the coverage of the mental net, which can both Interfering with the human brain can also affect the human body, as if some kind of witchcraft sealed the world.

Among the psionic skills that Leo knows, there is also a similar psionic skill, but that kind of psionic skill needs to reach the level of a ninth-level psyker to master, and the current energy field skill, although in terms of power It can't be compared with that kind of psionic skill, but it can be regarded as helping Leo master a high-level psionic skill in advance, which is a good harvest.

At the same time, the three guides also led Leo and Sylvia to the leeward side of a small hill, where they saw a hut built with stones, which looked like a temporary residence.

The three of them went into the room and took some warm clothes and put them on. Although they also gave some to Leo and Sylvia, both of them said they didn't need it, and the three of them didn't say much about it. After changing into warm clothes, he continued on the road. After turning over a small hill, he walked along a trail at any time on the ridge towards Truber Mountain, which was obscured by clouds and thick fog in the distance.
