The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The sacrificial pillar selected by Leo as the test object is the one that he thinks has the most flaws and is also the most easily exploited by him. The power of the abyss transformed from negative emotions is the power of shamanism, sacrificial mystery and the abyss, because the position of this sacrificial pillar is exactly in the abyss sacrificial pillar, shaman sacrifice pillar and sacrificial sacrifice pillar. The sacrificial pillar in this position needs to withstand the impact of the three forces of shaman, priest and abyss at the same time, so this sacrificial pillar is the most special one among all the sacrificial pillars.

Although the main body of the sacrificial pillar and the abyss sacrificial pillar, it is the mysterious shamanic runes on the surface of the pillar that control the sacrificial pillar, and a sacrificial secret technique is buried in the core of the sacrificial pillar. Strange thing, it can be said that this sacrificial pillar is the aggregate of the three forces, and also the cushion of the three forces, and plays a central role in the sacrifice field of the entire Huajing City.

If you want to destroy the sacrificial field of the entire Huajing City, it is very simple to destroy this sacrificial pillar, but if you do this, the abyssal power condensed in the entire sacrificial field will also gather at this gathering point. If it erupts, let alone Leo, even the gods will not be able to retreat under the impact of such a powerful force, and the surrounding Huajing City will probably be completely destroyed. Ni also naturally lost the restraint.

However, although this sacrificial pillar is the strongest point in the entire sacrificial field, it is also the weakest point in the entire sacrificial field, and it also has the most flaws and loopholes.

First of all, although this sacrificial pillar is made of the flesh and blood of the abyssal dragon, I don't know if the original production method was too backward, or the abyssal dragon used as the material is not an adult abyssal dragon that has broken through the limit of life. Dragon, all in all, this sacrificial pillar is definitely not as strong as its maker hoped for the powerful power contained in the sacrificial field.

By comparing the collected structural data of the sacrificial pillar, Leo easily discovered that although the sacrificial pillar appeared to be intact on the surface, in fact, there were a lot of signs of damage inside. Time has been impacted by various forces, causing this sacrificial pillar to reach its limit.

According to Leo's deduction, in a few decades, even if he does nothing, this sacrificial pillar will probably be completely destroyed by the power in the sacrificial domain.

However, fortunately, when making this sacrificial pillar, or more correctly, when making the flesh and blood of the abyssal dragon into the most primitive state of the sacrificial pillar material, the maker at that time also considered the bearing problem of the sacrificial pillar , so some mystic powers that Leo couldn't see through were added to the sacrificial pillar. These mystic powers made the sacrificial pillar not affect its function even if the interior was scarred.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Leo, because with the endurance of the sacrificial column body, even if there is any accident in his test, the sacrificial column will not be completely destroyed, which will lead to the collapse of the entire sacrificial field.

In addition to the material problem of the sacrificial column itself, the production method of this sacrificial column is also the main reason for its many defects and loopholes. Looking at it, there are not as many flaws and loopholes as there are on this sacrificial pillar.

The three powers of shaman, priest and abyss were forcibly combined on this pillar. The rejection effect produced by the three forces was more intense and hundreds of times stronger than other sacrifice pillars. If the raw materials used to make the sacrifice pillar The flesh and blood of the abyssal dragon was used. Perhaps this sacrificial column had already been destroyed by the conflict of the three forces.

It is precisely because the person who made the sacrificial pillar forcibly squeezed the three different power laws together by borrowing the powerful material of the sacrificial pillar itself, so it is difficult for the three kinds of power's secret arts to merge together, and they exist together. There are a lot of rejection effects, and these rejection effects have formed defects and loopholes all over the entire sacrificial column. It is most appropriate to use a sieve to describe the state of this sacrificial column.

Because of this, Leo was able to easily penetrate the abyss sacrificial field of the entire Huajing City through the rune magic circle he made and use this sacrificial pillar as a springboard. At this moment, the hidden scene of the entire Huajing City It was displayed in front of Leo's eyes.

The entire Huajing City has a complete projection in the abyss sacrificial field. This projection is like the end of everything that Leo saw back then. The Huajing City in different periods was torn into pieces and piled up together. The Huajing City in different periods The buildings can be seen here, and there are countless weird abyssal creatures wandering in these buildings. They have no intelligence, only fighting instincts. Once they meet, they will attack and devour each other. But the interesting thing is that not long after the devouring, the abyssal monsters It will split into two new monsters again, and the cycle will start again.

Leo can see that these abyssal creatures are not real abyssal creatures, but the souls of ordinary people. These people are ordinary people who died in Huajing City after being infected by the power of the abyss. In the false abyss world created by the abyss sacrificial field, it turns into an abyss creature, constantly generating new abyss power.

In the entire abyssal area of ​​sacrifice, the most eye-catching thing is not the fragments of the Huajing City from different periods, nor the soul-like abyssal creatures wandering in the Huajing City, but the more than a thousand sacrificial pillars scattered throughout the entire abyssal area.

These sacrificial pillars are also the projections of the sacrificial pillars in Huajing City in reality, but their shapes are hundreds of times larger than the real sacrificial pillars. There is an abyssal creature phantom.

Leo easily recognized that these abyssal creatures include the bottom-level beast-like abyssal creatures, and abyssal upper races such as abyssal dragons and abyssal serpents. The shadow is not enough to cover all the creatures in the abyss, but the most active races and creatures in the abyss can be found on it.

Not all of these phantoms of abyssal creatures are complete and intact. Most of the phantoms of abyssal creatures are blurred, and only a few parts with iconic features are slightly clearer. When the phantoms of the abyss superiors are not clear, the phantom representing Tokatney, the tongue of corruption, is exceptionally clear. The multi-legged reptile-shaped body surrounds the pillar, and the huge head leans obliquely on the top of the pillar. , and dozens of pairs of snake-like eyeballs and spiral-shaped sharp horns on the head are also clearly visible. As for the famous depraved tongue, the texture is even more clear, and it is constantly wriggling like the real thing.

Seeing this phantom of the complete Tokatene, Leo was not surprised. After all, he had deduced in advance that what was being suppressed under Huajing City was an abyssal superior race, Tokatene. What really surprised him was the phantom on the pillar. The image shown by the shadow seems to correspond to the real state of Tokatni being suppressed at the moment.

Because Leo saw a large number of vines containing the power of nature in this complete and clear phantom of Tocatene. Suppress Tokatene's abyssal power.

Apparently the suppressed Tokatni did not expect that someone like Leo would be able to find the loopholes on the sacrificial pillar, go deep into the illusionary world of the abyss sacrifice field, and still be able to stay awake in this field full of abyssal corrosion power So much so that he made his projection appear on the sacrificial pillar without any concealment, and let Leo easily know his current state.

However, just knowing the current state of the suppressed Tocatene is not the thing that makes Leo the happiest. The reason why Leo feels that this attempt is very rewarding is the sacrificial pillar where the phantom of Tocatene is located. Because this allowed Leo to know the real core of the entire sacrificial field, and it also made him more confident to use this abyssal sacrificial field to counter Tokatni.

Although the abyss phantom created by the abyss sacrifice domain was only detected, and the location of Tokatni in the lower layer was not really explored, but in order to avoid alarming the enemy, Leo did not continue to explore, but triggered the rune magic The array pulled his spirit out of the illusion of the ruins of Huajing City created by this abyssal sacrificial field.

Almost at the same time when Leo's spirit returned to normal, the rune magic circle around the sacrificial pillar also shattered. Judging from the current situation, it should be caused by a self-generated defense force in the sacrificial field Fortunately, Leo had been prepared for this and let the rune magic circle block this force.

However, the aftermath of this power did not stop because of the disappearance of the target. The entire inner and outer surroundings of Huajing City had a weak earthquake due to the aftermath of the defensive power of the sacrificial domain. This weak earthquake had a great impact on the people living in the city It didn't have much impact, and most people couldn't feel it, but on the surrounding hillsides, the snow slid down due to the vibration, and soon formed a big avalanche, which caused bursts of exclamation from the people in the city.

Although the avalanche will not rush into Huajing City, but looking at the billowing snow on the surrounding peaks, and the snowflakes that cover the sky and the moon, the ordinary people in the city still feel a little scared, and everyone stops After finishing what he was doing and looking into the distance, the whole city also became quiet at this moment, as if time had stopped, until the falling snow stopped at the foot of the mountain, the abnormal noise caused by the avalanche subsided, and the people in Huajing City regained their composure. Activities resumed, and the city became noisy again.

When everyone was paying attention to the avalanche, Leo went to the other sacrificial pillars he had selected, and tried to infiltrate his rune magic circle as before, but the effect was not as good as the one at the beginning. The sacrificial pillars are as good, but the difference from the first sacrificial pillars is that when he infiltrates these sacrificial pillars, the defensive power of the sacrificial field is not as strong as before, let alone cause an earthquake, just He couldn't even damage his rune magic circle.

Leo was not surprised by this. After all, the sacrificial pillar is the node of the entire sacrificial field. Once there is a change, it will spread to the entire sacrificial field. The scope of offerings is very limited.

After some attempts, Leo had collected enough data, he returned to his room at the liaison office, and began to further adjust his countermeasures and recreate new symbols based on the information he had obtained. Wen magic array.

It's just that at noon the next day, something that surprised Leo suddenly disrupted the rune magic circle that was being made and was specially used in the sacrificial field.

"Xini is missing?" Leo was a little surprised when he heard a report from a member of the Belmont family who had gone to the refugee temporary settlement with Sylvia, because in his opinion, there should be no one in the entire polar mountains. Possessing a powerful presence that could pose a threat to Sylvia, this made him instinctively think that Sylvia's disappearance might be her own doing, but he quickly denied this guess, because based on his understanding of Sylvia I understand, as long as there is no accident, even if Sylvia wants to leave temporarily, she should tell the people around her.

When he was full of confusion, Leo signaled to the members of the Belmont family who came back to report carefully what happened before and after Sylvia's disappearance.

The member of the Belmont family sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then seriously explained the situation before and after Sylvia's disappearance in concise terms.

Sylvia is not what Leo thought, the refugee temporary settlement that went with Vera Thottmüller. After death, the refugees fell into panic and started a riot. She led her people to the refugee temporary settlements to understand the situation, and then sent back news that the abnormal deaths of those refugees might involve powerful abyssal creatures and some heretics who worshiped evil gods. After learning about the situation, Sylvia became interested, so she took some members of the Belmont family to the refugee temporary settlement to participate in the investigation.

When Sylvia arrived at the refugee temporary settlement, Vera Thothmuller had quelled the refugee riots and was doing follow-up pacification work. Sylvia asked the Belmont family to cooperate with Vera's pacification. While working, she went alone to investigate things about the creatures of the abyss and the cultists of the evil gods.

Last night, Sylvia seemed to have investigated something, and went to see Vera alone. Afterwards, she and Vera left the refugee temporary settlement and entered the deep mountains. It should be to investigate related matters.

But until the early morning of this day, neither of them returned to the refugee temporary settlement, and the contact method Sylvia left for members of the Belmont family was also useless, so the people of the Belmont family stayed there to look for Syl. Via, while sending someone to inform Leo about the matter.

After listening to the story told by the people of the Belmont family, Leo also tried to perceive Sylvia's whereabouts. Although there were interference forces around him, he shouldn't be completely unaware of Sylvia's existence. Let him guess that either there is a powerful force blocking his connection with Sylvia, or that Sylvia is no longer in this world.
