The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"You stay here and take care of the three of them, I'll go over there and have a look!" Leo said to Sylvia after checking the general situation over there with the spirit net.

"Will you be in trouble if you go alone?" Sylvia frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Leo smiled and said: "There is no trouble. The power that is shrouded in Truber Mountain has been disturbed by that giant worm. Now the environment here is similar to the situation outside the mountain. As long as you come back before the power is restored, there will be no problem." .”

Sylvia nodded when she heard the words, but didn't say anything else.

Leo then directly used the psionic wings, flew into the air, and flew straight towards the spawning ground. It took less than five minutes to arrive at the spawning ground covered in flesh and blood.

Here, there are still many monsters and beasts attacking each other. Compared with those beasts with some signs of mutation, the monsters without the mysterious power of Truber Mountain are obviously stronger, and they can display some supernatural powers. For example, a snake-like monster with eight legs can control its own shadow to bind the surrounding prey, and then spray out some dark green poisonous gas, eroding the prey's body, making them lose the power to resist, and then Shackled by the shadows, they become puppets that assist the serpentine monsters in attacking other monsters and beasts.

Although looking at this spawning ground through the perception of the influence of giant worms, it seems that this spawning ground is small, but in fact it is quite large, stretching out more than a dozen uneven hills, almost the size of the Otto Federation Two to three times the size of the capital county.

After Leo came to the spawning ground, he didn't go any further. He landed in an edge area he had selected through the spiritual net.

When he fell, an abnormal smell covering this area penetrated into his body without breathing, making him feel abnormally excited, so excited that he wanted to attack everything around him.

However, Leo was not controlled by the out-of-the-box excitement, he still looked very calm, and walked over an insect egg closest to the ground.

Although Leo was not affected by this smell, the other monsters and beasts around couldn't control their bloodthirsty instincts, and as if instructed by some unknown force, they gave up the enemies who were fighting each other, and He aimed the attack at Leo.

Facing these monsters and beasts rushing over, Leo didn't seem to care. He just raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Countless jagged threads formed by witchcraft revolved around Leo like a tornado, and he wanted to push it away. Come on, any attacker loaded on it will be cut into pieces in an instant, even those monsters with steel-like shells on the surface of their bodies cannot be spared.

Almost in the blink of an eye, all the monsters and beasts in this area were cleaned up.

Afterwards, Leo used his spiritual power to scrape away the gravel under his feet, and dug out a large hole with a depth of six or seven meters. Finally, he saw an insect egg covered in gravel and covered with the blood of various monsters and beasts.

This egg is very big, about the size of an adult, and has an oval shape. The shell on the surface is like some kind of gemstone, crystal clear. After the blood falls on it, it will be absorbed by some extremely small gaps in the shell, making it Part of the shell turned blood red.

Through the shell, you can clearly see what's inside. You can see a big monster insect that has not yet fully formed swimming in the liquid inside the egg, and seems to have some self-awareness. When Leo approached the egg When it is time, it will make some attacks on Leo.

After careful observation, Leo reached out and touched the shell of the egg, and then directly used the spiritual net to drill into the egg, penetrated into the body of the unformed monster larva, and used witchcraft and combined with psionic skills , to extract the memory fragments in the consciousness of the larvae of the big monster worm.

As Leo had guessed in advance, just like the cubs of most of the superior races, the larvae of the big monster insects also have some memory fragments inherited from the superior. Although these memory fragments are very fragmented and unsystematic, the fragments Some of the revealed content made Leo feel like a treasure.

For example, Leo saw in the memory fragments the ashes butterflies that are only found in the land where everything ends, and also saw the golden giant deer walking on the branches of the World Tree, and even saw some spaceships and warships owned by cosmic civilizations outside the World Tree. Fight each other in the void warp.

It's a pity that these images are all fragmented, and some are even blurred images, which can reveal very little information.

At the same time, Leo read the inherited memory hidden in the consciousness fragments of these unformed larvae, which seemed to have touched a certain taboo in these eggs, causing the worms in the eggs to be re-dissolved into liquid, but the liquid was not re-hatching. signs, and the eggs also rapidly shrunk down to the size of a fist.

Leo tried to put the eggs into the storage space, but the result surprised him a little bit. The eggs, which were still in the state of unformed insects just now, contained a kind of repulsive force and couldn't be put into the storage space at all, but now they can, thinking about it It should be caused by the change of the nature of the eggs.

Leo didn't stop, and found several eggs to read the inherited memory fragments deep in his consciousness, and then took away the eggs that had turned into egg liquid again.

Until, when he felt that the power of Truber Mountain began to repair this area, he immediately stopped and rushed back to Sylvia's position.

The self-healing speed of the mysterious power of Trube Mountain was faster than Leo expected. Fortunately, Leo's movement speed was not slow. When he returned to the cave, the restoration of the mysterious power of Trube Mountain had just been completed. Only then did he feel the powerful interference effect again, and he needed the Distortion Power Talisman again to alleviate this interference.

"Any gains?" Sylvia, who still chose to stand at the entrance of the cave, asked with concern when she saw Leo fall from the sky.

Leo narrated what happened just now to Sylvia, and then wanted to take out the eggs to show Sylvia, but the interference from Mount Trube prevented him from taking out the eggs.

Sylvia didn't pay too much attention to this, and asked Leo to take it out when he had a chance, but she was curious about the inheritance memory of the unformed larvae obtained by Leo, and asked carefully several times, and told Leo Like Ou, she combined the contents of those memories with the image she obtained of the abyssal dragon parading the world tree.

Then, he discussed some things about this world with Leo at the entrance of the cave. During the discussion, Leo also obtained more information from the complete inheritance memory obtained by Sylvia. In Ya's eyes, it doesn't have much effect, but in Leo's eyes, it can make up for some of his shortcomings about the entire World Tree world, allowing him to have a complete understanding of this world.

First of all, this world tree world should be the subspace plane of the world tree, because Leo can already confirm that the world tree is in the subspace at this moment, because when the abyss dragon patrols the world tree, the subspace plane can be seen outside the world tree plane. The antimatter energy band unique to space is one of the key features recognized in the universe to identify subspace planes.

In addition, there are black and white holes formed by subspace turbulence, which is also a key feature.

With these two features as evidence, it is basically certain that the World Tree plane is a subspace plane.

However, beyond Leo's knowledge, the planes in the world are far larger than any known subspace planes in the universe. We can know this from the fact that the universe's highest council star field only occupies a small area above the tree top. The subspace plane can even be described as a universe, but this universe is different from the conventional universe.

From the inheritance memory of the Abyss Demon Dragon, the place where everything ends is located at the bottom of the world tree, and it is the ultimate belonging of any world on the world tree. The abyss is where everything ends, and should belong to the root of the world tree, and then go up These are some chaotic worlds. These worlds are disordered and chaotic. Even the abyss dragon who broke through the barriers of the abyss and peeped into the essence of the world doesn't know what's in those chaotic worlds, but he can feel those worlds. There is a mysterious power that can make him feel a great threat.

After that is the trunk, branches and leaves of the world tree. Both the trunk and the branches are composed of countless worlds. There are special life forms in these worlds. The types of these life forms are as unpredictable as sand grains in the desert. Calculate its quantity.

The fruits of the world tree are worlds with complete laws. These world tree fruits are at the ends of the branches and leaves, shrouded in dense fog. There are countless dangerous life forms hidden in the dense fog. Some of them want to invade the fruit Among them, some just wandered in the dense fog, looking for opportunities to prey on those intelligent creatures that inadvertently walked in.

Finally, there is the top of the World Tree, which is the most mysterious place of the World Tree. Even the abyss dragon cannot get close. When he tries to get close, a great life body as powerful as him that breaks through the barriers of the abyss can only end up falling .

Also, judging from the complete inheritance memory obtained by Sylvia, it seems that there is not only one golden giant deer, but many of them, and each one is in charge of an area. If you look at it according to the number of worlds and the size of the plane In that case, that region would be almost equivalent to a large galaxy.

Although these secrets about the composition of the world, even if they are unraveled, it is impossible to change their power, but once they evolve to the level of Omega-level advanced life forms, the accumulation of knowledge about the world may be very important. Can play a role beyond imagination.

Just as Leo and Sylvia were exchanging knowledge about the World Tree, the three people who had gradually recovered from their despair not far away also began to return to normal. They realized that their current situation was very bad, so they tried to find Things were sorted out, such as tidying up the messy clothes, looking for a sharp stone to help each other cut off the weed-like hair and beard, making myself look like a normal person.

After that, they didn't dare to get close to Leo and Silvia, and just waited at the edge of the cave.

Although the three of them didn't eavesdrop, the surroundings were very quiet, and the sounds of Leo and Sylvia's conversation could easily reach their ears.

But what puzzled the three of them was that they clearly heard what Leo and Silvia said, but their minds were always blank, and they couldn't remember a word or a word at all, as if the content of the two conversations was far away. Far beyond the limits of what their souls and spirits could bear, even memorizing a single word would kill them.

It wasn't until Leo and Sylvia finished talking that the three of them returned to normal.

"How many days have passed?" Leo asked Sylvia to absorb the content of the exchange just now and sort out some changes in the concept, while he walked up to the three and asked.

"How many days?" The three of them murmured repeatedly in a dazed manner before recovering for a while.

At this time, the young man in the head seemed to realize what Leo was asking, and quickly responded: "It should be four days, no, maybe five days, or six days, but it should not exceed seven days."

Leo asked again casually, "How are you doing these days?"

The three of them didn't hide anything and talked about how the three of them lived. As Leo expected, the meat left by him was the key to the survival of the three of them. In addition, due to the temperature change in the cave, Some water droplets will condense on the walls, allowing them to drink water.

However, after so many days, they have almost reached the limit of their survival. If the spawning of giant worms has not ended, and Leo and Silvia have not returned to normal, they may starve to death in the cave.

As for why they dare not get close to Leo and Sylvia, it's not just because of fear, but Leo and Sylvia made the three of them feel extremely dangerous, as if there was some kind of invisible and intangible existence around their bodies. They also discussed that if they really ran out of ammunition and food, they would rather die in the hands of the two than starve to death.

"Can you still lead the way now?" Leo asked again after the three of them calmed down.

"Yes, of course!" The three responded in unison. This proactive attitude was completely opposite to the attitude when they were asked to lead the way at the beginning, as if Leo would make them feel pain and sadness if he didn't let them lead the way.

Leo didn't care about the change in the attitudes of the three, but only cared about the ability of the three to lead the way. Seeing that the three said that there was no problem, he ordered: "If this is the case, then get ready! We will leave immediately."

"Now?" The three of them froze for a moment, hesitated, and reminded: "Sir, it's still night..."

"I know." Leo replied somewhat mysteriously: "Although it is night, the Endless Ridge is now safer than ever."

After finishing speaking, he did not give any explanation, leaving only the three people who were still in a daze to prepare, and he returned to Sylvia to help her sort out her thoughts and answer some questions that were beyond the general world and belonged to the knowledge of the universe .

The three members of the lumberjack family quickly packed up their luggage and marked the entrance of the cave, and then led Leo and Sylvia to continue walking towards the foot of Mount Truber in the dark.
