The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"The effectiveness of the talisman has weakened a bit." Leo walked slowly towards the direction of the holy altar, and said to Sylvia who was following him, "The pressure has also increased by at least twice that of the vicinity of the mountain city."

"This part of the road is fairly easy for us, but we don't know what will happen to the road ahead." Sylvia walked briskly on the road, just as she showed, the current state is for her It's like a relaxing outing.

Originally, she and Leo expected to be attacked by Mount Trube after coming here, and they were fully prepared for this, but in addition to the changes in the energy concentration emitted by Mount Trube in the surrounding area, the Their bad influence has strengthened many accidents, and there is no decent hindrance any more.

Until they came to the holy altar, they all frowned at the same time, because they found that the unknown power of Truber Mountain around the holy altar had more than doubled, although this still wouldn't cause them too much trouble, But this can be regarded as an omen. It indicates that if you continue to go up, the unknown force of Truber Mountain will become stronger and stronger. After reaching the top of the mountain, this unknown force may be strengthened several times.

"We had anticipated all this beforehand, didn't we?" Leo didn't show too much embarrassment, and walked to the altar that seemed forgiven, and inspected it very carefully.

At the same time, Sylvia walked around the altar, especially in front of the cloud, and put her hand deep into the cloud, as if she wanted to personally experience what the environment in the cloud was like.

Hoffman, who was hiding behind the rock, poked his head out to spy on the movements of the two of them. When Sylvia reached into the clouds and mist, his face showed a look of optimism.

Because he knew that the cloud covering half of Truber Mountain was very unusual. Once he touched the cloud, a strong suction force would be generated in the cloud, sucking people in. It felt like the cloud was eating people. .

However, what happened next surprised him. Not only was the female stranger not sucked in by the mist, but the mist seemed to be very afraid of her. When she stretched her hand in, the mist also receded to both sides As if avoiding her touch.

This phenomenon surprised Hoffman, and naturally Sylvia was also surprised. She immediately greeted Leo and asked him to come and have a look.

Hearing this, Leo also stepped forward and took a serious look. Although it seemed to others that he was only seeing with his eyes, in fact he had already used spiritual vision and blessed the power of the Eye of Reality.

Although the effect of the Eye of Reality is severely suppressed in this world, it is still very simple to observe the real situation in a small area, but at this moment, the cloud that looks very thick has become another in his eyes. In one look, all the clouds and mist have turned into some flying insects that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye and are smaller than dust.

Although these flying insects have wings, they can't flap them. They just open them, and let the buoyancy of the surrounding air make them float irregularly, blending with the water vapor in the air, and look similar to clouds. .

As for why Sylvia would avoid it when she stretched out her hand, it was entirely because of the effect of the superior aura on Sylvia, which made these bugs unable to bear this invisible pressure, and had to instinctively avoid Sylvia. Sylvia.

After discovering the real situation of Yunwu, Leo did not hide it and told Sylvia about it. After hearing this, Sylvia showed a disgusted expression on her face, and quickly retracted her hand. The flame burned from the beginning to the end like cleaning, but this flame is very special, it seems that the temperature is extremely high, but it can't burn the ordinary clothes she is wearing.

This is the result of Sylvia's focus on control during this period. She can perfectly control the low-temperature flames in a small area. When she controls the flames of the abyss dragon, she can also be as precise as she is now with ordinary clothes. When she won't be set on fire, her control is enough.

At this time, Hoffman on the other side of the rock also saw this scene, and the shock in his heart was beyond words. Although the members of the lumberjack family have all kinds of strange abilities, they created a ball of flame out of thin air like now, and He had never seen such an exquisite ability to control this flame, which reminded him of some god-favored people in religious legends, it seemed that those god-favored people had mastered the ability to create flames or ice cubes out of thin air .

"What should we do now? Burn them all?" Sylvia asked with a look of disgust.

Leo pondered for a moment and said, "You can try it."

Sylvia was stunned for a while, her question just now was just casually, and she didn't really want to do this, Leo's proposal was somewhat beyond her expectations, which made her a little puzzled, and asked: "Is this so?" Wouldn't it provoke a counterattack from an unknown force at Truber Hill?"

Leo simply explained: "I just want it to fight back. Like the stagnant water now, it is difficult for me to find more details of this unknown force. Let it change appropriately, maybe it will help us."

After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia also thought about it for a while, nodded, and agreed with Leo's proposal.

Afterwards, the two retreated to the position of the holy altar. Sylvia was about to use her power, but was stopped by Leo. Leo took out some rune circles and placed them around the altar, and Let Sylvia take off the power of distortion and replace it with a few special rune circles to defend against external impact.

After all the preparations had been made, he nodded to Sylvia, indicating that it was time to start, but he did not leave Sylvia's side, but stood aside, ready to act as a substitute for Sylvia at any time. Under the possible backlash.

All the movements of the two were naturally seen by Hoffman who was hiding. He didn't know why the two did this, but he knew that doing so would definitely cause a lot of commotion, and it would inevitably be affected. While arranging the rune circle, he also took out a rope and tied himself to a deep rock protruding from the mountain to prevent any accidents.

Almost at the same time as he tied himself up, he saw a dark flame rising into the sky from the direction of the holy altar behind the rock, and at the same time a powerful force spread instantly, directly making him unconscious.

Not only did Hoffman, who was close to the holy altar, pass out, but even the other lumberjack families in the mountain city couldn't bear such a powerful force, and they all passed out on the spot, unconscious.

At the same time, the abyss dragon flame released from Sylvia directly turned into a flame dragon in the air, and it was the first time that Sylvia fully released her own power. This feeling made her intoxicated Such an idiot, he even had the urge to completely turn himself into an abyssal dragon.

"Xini! Be sober." Just as Sylvia was indulging in her own power, Leo's voice directly penetrated the layers of defenses around her body and landed in her consciousness, instantly turning her from that kind of The state of indulgence was pulled back, and when she came back to consciousness, she also felt the pressure from Truber Mountain, which made her feel as uncomfortable as being locked in a small cage.

"How are you?" Leo asked concerned when he saw that scales had grown on Sylvia's neck, forehead and cheeks, and the pupils of his eyes had turned into vertical pupils similar to snake eyes.

Sylvia wanted to answer, but found that the voice was cut off by the flame of the abyss dragon on her body, so she could only make a good gesture to Leo, and then refocused on controlling the flame .

I saw that the abyss dragon in the air instantly dissipated its shape, turned into a dozen pillars of fire, and rushed towards the cloud of flying insects and water vapor in front of it. It looked like a dozen giant pythons trying to wrap around Truber. The mountains are average.

Those insects that make up the cloud can't stand Sylvia just getting close, not to mention the burning of the flames of the abyss dragon. The thick layers of clouds quickly dissipate under the burning of the flames, and the flying insects are burned directly. The ashes were left, and the stars seemed to be flashing in the sky, feeling like the flickering stars in the sky.

Although the layers of clouds and mist covering Truber Mountain seem endless, as long as there is a vacancy in a place, it will immediately spread to fill the vacancy, but in the face of the burning of the abyss dragon, the speed of replenishing the surrounding clouds and mist is much slower than With the speed of burning, most of the clouds and mist in front of Leo and Silvia soon disappeared, and the mountain covered by clouds and mist all the year round also revealed its true colors.

I originally thought that the mountain of Truber Mountain should be a large number of exposed rocks and gravel like other alpine mountains. The surface is covered with a layer of moss. If it is higher, it should be covered with a layer of ice and snow. Flow down to form a message.

However, the actual situation of Truber Mountain is completely different. The mountain behind the clouds is covered with all kinds of large trees and shrubs, and it looks more like a forest plain below the mountain than a steep mountain on a high mountain.

The reason why these trees can grow in these rocky mountains is because these trees have extremely developed root systems, and these root systems are all deeply embedded in the rocks of the mountain, even if the trunks are inclined to almost form a small gap with the ground. Even if the angle is included, it still won't fall down completely, and those shrubs grow on the roots of the trees like parasitic vines.

Just when Leo and Sylvia wanted to examine these trees more carefully, the unknown force covering Truber Mountain suddenly increased several times, directly forcing the abyss dragon flame created by Sylvia from the clouds and mist. Backed away, and the surrounding clouds instantly increased dozens of times, instantly filling the vacancy burned by the flames of the magic dragon.

Seeing the active reaction of the unknown force in Truber Mountain, Sylvia tried to strengthen the force and continue to attack, so that this reaction appeared more, so that it was easier for Leo to observe.

However, that unknown force seemed to know Sylvia's plan, and when Sylvia raised her power to create magic fire, he had already started to fight back.

I saw that the cloud and mist in front of Leo and Sylvia suddenly solidified, and then condensed from the virtual cloud and mist into an object that looked like a tentacle and at the same time, it was also like a tree root towards Leo and Hill. Via lashed out.

Facing the attack, Sylvia didn't take any defensive action at all, and still strengthened the power in her hand. The black flames had been accumulated by her, turning into groups of strange power like black oil.

And when the tentacles or tree roots formed by the cloud and mist were about to hit the two of them, the pre-arranged rune circles around them were instantly activated, forming a light curtain covered with various mysterious symbols and figures.

Although this layer of light curtain looks like it can be easily shattered, it is actually extremely strong. When the tree root or tentacle hit it, it just made it shake slightly, and did not cause any damage to it at all. form of damage.

Perhaps because they found that they could not break through the light curtain defense created by the rune circle in a short time, the unknown force immediately aimed their attack at Sylvia's power condensed in the air.

Thousands of tentacles and tree roots shot out from the clouds like sharp arrows, piercing into the flames of the abyss dragon that Sylvia condensed in the air.

However, unlike the result of the flames burning the clouds just now, even if the surface of the tentacles and roots formed by the condensed clouds is burned, the power of the clouds will still be quickly replenished from the inside, and while replenishing, these tentacles will also form on the surface. An invisible force field formed a powerful obstacle and greatly weakened Sylvia's power guidance, making the flame of the abyss dragon powerless.

Not only did Sylvia not feel frustrated when she found that her power was being hindered, but she was high-spirited and planned to confront this unknown force head-on.

However, just when she was gathering her strength and preparing to use her strength, Leo said: "It's enough, there is no need to continue, I know how to solve the problem of going up the mountain."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and then suppressed the urge to continue fighting in her heart, but she didn't take back the air power, but had an idea to let the flames of the abyss dragon created by her Explode directly.

The originally suppressed abyss dragon flame exploded in an instant, releasing all of its power. The tentacles and tree roots formed by the clouds and mist were also instantly dispersed by this powerful explosive force, and the sky was completely burned by the power of the dragon flame. At the same time, the flames of the magic dragon burned into the cloud and mist along the protruding tentacles and tree roots. Because of the lack of control, these flames also ignited the trees in the cloud and mist.

Most of the trees that touched the flames of the magic dragon were instantly burned to ashes, and some trees resisted the burning of the magic flames, but they were also lit like torches, and for a while, the entire Trube mountain was covered in clouds and mists. I saw clusters of flames piercing through the clouds and mist, forming clusters of hazy light.

And at the moment when a large number of trees were burned by the uncontrolled dragon flames, Leo and Sylvia heard a painful moan at the same time. This moan was not a human voice, but more like the sound of a tree breaking sound.
