The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

At this moment, neither Leo nor Sylvia concealed the abnormality that was happening, and the three Powell family members next to them also saw that there was something wrong with them.

One of them seemed to think that this was an opportunity to get out of the prison, so he winked and gestured at the other two.

The other two also seemed to be moved and nodded.

However, when they reached the entrance of the temporary residence, they all stopped in unison, looked at each other in embarrassment, and then walked back dejectedly, continuing to be busy with the matter just now.

It's not that they don't want to escape, but they find that fleeing is far more dangerous than staying here, because after leaving here, it is basically impossible to reach the next temporary hut before dark, and the endless ridge in the dark night is full of all kinds of people. There are all kinds of dangers, even the Powell family cannot completely avoid those attacks from the dark. In this case, it is the safest to stay in the hut.

As for taking advantage of this opportunity, they would not even dare to think about doing something to Leo and Sylvia, because others didn't even do anything before, and the three of them were already lying on the ground when they approached directly. If so, they don't think they have a chance to resist.

Naturally, Leo was able to fully speculate about some small actions that these three people might make. Even when they finally gave up the opportunity to escape, it did not exceed his expectations, so he completely ignored the situation in the cave from the very beginning. The three of them devoted themselves to sharing Sylvia's physical and mental pressure.

Due to Leo's timely shot, and Sylvia's complete trust in letting go of all physical and mental restrictions and exclusions, Leo's spirit was able to connect with Sylvia's already precarious spirit in time, sharing the shock and pain. Pressure, now Sylvia's situation has stabilized and is improving rapidly, and under Leo's guidance, she also began to temper her spiritual strength through this violent indoctrination of inherited memory.

For Sylvia, although the shock caused by the inheritance of knowledge is dangerous, it may not be a bad thing, because she has recently used external forces to rapidly increase her power, making her power strong to the limit of her control up.

Although Leo noticed this in time and asked her to consciously train methods to improve her control, those methods did not have a particularly obvious effect on improving her mental power, and the gap between mental power and physical blood power was still very large.

In fact, this is also a natural disadvantage of the witch. The power of the witch comes from the blood. As long as the blood is developed, the power can be improved by leaps and bounds. However, this kind of near-shortcut strength improvement often does not have the spiritual power to match it. , so often powerful witches are prone to lose control of their emotions, and even have extreme thoughts, and eventually walk on the road of self-destruction.

Sylvia discovered the flaw of the witch a long time ago, so she has always consciously controlled her own strength improvement. The big improvement in life form in Belmont Manor was the result of a long time of preparation, but later she used madness to The increase in power was completely accidental, and this accident led to the current situation.

However, fortunately, the unbalanced state of mental power and blood power has not reached a completely out of control situation. The problem was discovered in time and solved in time. After the impact of this inherited knowledge, her mental power will also be greatly improved. Pay attention to the speed at which the blood power increases, and strengthen the training of mental strength, and her hidden dangers will be eliminated soon.

Although during the whole process, Leo also shared Sylvia's mental and physical pain equally, but fortunately he has long been used to this kind of pain, even if this kind of pain is far beyond the limit of ordinary people's tolerance, it is still a pain for him. Within the scope of his tolerance, he was even able to separate his mind to sort out the knowledge passed into his mind by the abyss dragon.

When his spirit was connected with Sylvia, the inherited knowledge passed into Sylvia's mind was also naturally copied into his mind.

Although most of these inherited knowledge are related to the power of the Abyss Demon Dragon itself, which he can't use at all, there are still some contents about the Abyss, which are very important information, such as the place where everything ends in Under the abyss, and the fact that the abyss is at the root of the world tree supplements the world information that Leo lacks the most.

Leo never thought that Sylvia's abyssal dragon inheritance memory would trigger such a low-level memory under the stimulation of the bones obtained from those endless ridges, and he also did not expect the original abyssal dragon that endowed the Belmont family with blood. It turned out to be such a powerful existence. He flew out of the abyss with his own power, and flew around the World Tree from the root of the World Tree, spying on the whole picture of the World Tree.

Even, in this relevant memory, he also saw the golden giant deer walking on the branches of the world tree, and in all the memories related to the golden giant deer, Leo felt a strong sense of fear and awe, which did not It's not Leo's emotions, but the emotions of the abyss dragon.

However, these are not the things that Leo is most concerned about. What really surprised Leo is that he saw the wreckage of the Supreme Council of the universe floating on the top of the World Tree. His eyes clearly saw the badges on the countless wreckages of the Supreme Council of the Universe, and what shocked him the most was that in the middle of the wreckage, a huge stone throne stood there, as if the stone throne had crushed the Supreme Council of the Universe. generally.

It's a pity that Leo didn't have time to take a closer look at the specific situation there, and accompanied by a painful howl, as if the abyss dragon was injured by some attack at that time.

The entire process of instilling knowledge through inheritance did not last too long and ended soon.

The painful expression on Sylvia's face also eased a little, but Leo did not let Sylvia's consciousness separate from the spiritual level, but let her continue to sort out the inherited knowledge acquired at the conscious level, which can be regarded as A kind of mental strength training can also avoid unnecessary confusion caused by messy inherited knowledge.

"Is she okay?" After seeing Leo's hand removed from Sylvia's head and eyes opened, the three guides knew that the matter was over, and they were glad that they hadn't done anything wrong just now. , one of the leaders asked Leo carefully. This question was not because they cared about Sylvia's situation, but because they were worried that something happened to Sylvia, and Leo would blame them.

"You can just do your own thing, don't worry about anything." Leo said simply, and then sat aside and continued to organize the inherited memories in his mind, especially the memory of the abyss dragon visiting the world tree.

Time passed little by little, and the sky outside quickly darkened. At this time, the ground shook slightly, and at the same time, there was a very clear rustling sound outside, as if some huge object was moving fast underground.

After sensing this, several members of the Powell family quickly sprinkled some prepared powder on the fire. When the powder was burned by the flame, a large amount of gray smoke was generated, and the gray smoke floated to the roof of the cave, and then It slowly sank into the entire cave.

This kind of gray smoke is not pungent, nor will it cause any breathing difficulties, but has a faint floral fragrance.

The vibration of the ground under the feet and the louder and louder rustling outside began to gradually weaken after the gray smoke appeared, as if the huge object that was approaching could not bear this kind of gray smoke that was not bad for humans, and was moving away from it. here.

Leo stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave. Amidst the horrified expressions of the three guides and the sound of stopping before they could shout, he opened the cave door and looked outside.

I saw that in the darkness that could not be seen by the naked eye, Leo's spiritual vision saw a monster worm as huge as a small hill slowly wriggling its body and moving quickly on the ridge.

Because the worm's body is very long, he can only see the worm's body at the moment, but judging from the translucent skin of the body, it seems that the worm's defense is not too strong.

However, this method of judging defense power based on appearance can only be used in normal situations, and using conventional judgment methods for such a huge worm will only cause misleading.

The speed of the worm seems to be very slow, but in fact it is very fast. When I opened the door, I saw the middle of the worm's body. After blinking a few times, the tail of the worm was already in front of me.

If it was a person, Leo might try to hunt this worm, and then study the structure of this worm, but now he needs to consider other situations, so he has to give up this idea, and when the worm disappears into the darkness Then, he gently closed the door.

At the moment Leo closed the door, the three members of the Powell family all heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Leo would provoke the big guy outside. Immune to that guy, if he takes the initiative to provoke, that big guy will immediately forget all the disgusting things, and directly attack the provocateur, and the things around the provocateur are naturally no exception.

"Is that the big monster?" Leo confirmed to the three of them.

The three nodded, and one of them said: "That's just the larvae of the big monster worm. The skin of a mature big monster worm looks like it's covered with a layer of rock, and its size is several times that of the larvae. It's the support frame used by all the houses in the mountain city." They are all the bones left after the death of a big monster insect."

"That's not an abyssal creature." At this time, Sylvia seemed to have sorted out the inheritance knowledge instilled in her mind, and after opening her eyes, she said to Leo abruptly.

Leo turned his head and said, "I know, I don't feel any breath of abyss in him."

Sylvia corrected: "No, you made a mistake! I'm not talking about the monster outside just now, but the god who fell here. He is not an abyssal creature."

"How could you not be inspired by creatures from the abyss..." Leo was a little puzzled, but soon realized something, and said, "Is that the deadly enemy of the abyss dragon?"

Sylvia nodded and said, "That should be a divine creature called the Clearer."

"Scavenger?" The image that emerged in Leo's mind was not the illusory appearance of some god creature, but the powerful psykers wearing high-tech devices of the Scavenger Troop of the Supreme Council of the Universe.

In the early days, the Supreme Council of the universe set up a team of clearers to deal with some cosmic civilizations that intend to destroy the balance of the universe. All the psykers who joined this team were at least level 8 psykers, but they didn’t know what they were The reason is that the Scavenger Force was suddenly disbanded. When the Earth Federation joined the Supreme Council of the Universe, the Scavenger Force became a legend, and there were even fewer relevant materials.

After being puzzled for a moment, Leo asked again: "Why haven't I heard of a divine creature like the Scavenger?"

As Leo said, the abyss he obtained is only related to the middle, and there is no such divine creature as the clearer, otherwise, a divine creature that appears in the abyss will attract his attention no matter what.

"Because the scavengers are rarely wiped out by the abyss superior race, except for a few superior races that have related inheritance memories, there is no relevant content in the inheritance memories of other abyssal creatures," Sylvia explained , and then added: "The abyss serpent was not a superior race at first."

Obviously, Leo's inheritance memory is far less than Sylvia's inheritance memory. Information such as the abyssal serpent was not a superior race at first, and the divine creature scavenger was not in the knowledge he obtained.

"How are you doing now?" Leo didn't ask what kind of knowledge Sylvia had acquired, but asked with concern.

Sylvia checked herself seriously, and said, "My head still hurts and I'm a little dizzy, but everything else is fine, and I can recover tomorrow."

Leo nodded after hearing this, without saying anything more, he walked to Sylvia and sat down.

The rest of the night was relatively peaceful. Although some monsters or beasts inhabiting the endless ridge ran out of the cave, they all ran away again because of the power of the Powell family.

Leo and Sylvia had already fallen asleep early, and didn't care at all whether the three of them would run away or do something irrational, but the three of them were obviously very honest, and they all stayed together. In a corner of the cave, each kept vigil.

Although they knew that their ability was enough to disperse the approaching monsters and beasts, they were still worried about any accidents, so even if they were resting, they had to let one person watch the night, so the three of them kept watch at night until dawn.

When the day came, the monsters and beasts that appeared at night disappeared, and the outside returned to the calm of the day, but the traces left by these monsters and beasts were still visible on the rocks and soil on the ridge. It can be seen that, especially the traces of the big monster snake larva moving, the entire ground is sunken, and even the hardest rocks are crushed into pieces. It seems that this should be the origin of the gravel on the slopes on both sides of the endless ridge .
