The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo ignored these strange believers who had fallen into madness, and used witchcraft to shield the perception of these people, and then walked to the sacrificial pillar completely wrapped in hemlock as if invisible.

He wanted to find out from these sacrificial pillars the special sacrificial pillar occupied by the superior in the abyss in the illusion of the abyss. The high-ranking person made a move, but after searching all the sacrificial pillars in the whole city, he couldn't find that special sacrificial pillar. The so-called forbidden place of the superior.

Although he couldn't find that special sacrificial pillar, Leo still had a connection with it, that is, the one now wrapped in hemlock wood. He felt the feeling from this sacrificial pillar Far stronger and purer than other sacrificial pillars, it has the unique abyss breath of Tokatney, the superior of the abyss, and among the many sacrificial pillars, he has only felt this on that special sacrificial pillar. A unique abyssal atmosphere.

Leo checked the rune traps and magic circles that had been set up earlier, and after making sure that there were no omissions, he reached into the tree hole and touched the sacrificial pillar wrapped in the tree trunk, and then followed the previous instructions. The method stimulated the power of the sacrificial pillar itself, and pulled it into the abyss illusion again.

However, the difference from the last time is that he no longer just enters the abyss illusion created by the Fallen Tongue mentally, but enters the abyss illusion that is very similar to the fragments of the subspace plane. .

I don't know if it's because of the changes in the abyss illusion caused by his body entering, or because he has been discovered by the abyss superior before he entered here. The scene has changed a lot, and the biggest change is that the huge sacrificial pillars in the illusion have all disappeared, as if someone had dismantled the sacrificial pillars.

Secondly, the illusion of the abyss he saw was no longer just the ruins of Huajing City after it fell into the abyss. This time, he also saw a large number of broken cities in other regions or worlds superimposed around the ruins of Huajing City. , and the broken scenes of these fallen worlds have been spreading to the surroundings, as if it is the real end of everything.

Although the scene in front of him can almost be confused with the real one, which is very similar to the place where everything ends that Leo saw in the Holy Ruins in the past, Leo can still easily see that this is just a disguised illusion, because there are few people here. A special existence, the Ash Butterfly, will inevitably appear in the place where everything ends.

Leo felt that the abyss superior who created the illusion of the abyss in front of him must have only heard the information about the end of everything from the mouths of other abyss superiors, and had not really been to this end of all in person, otherwise, He would not Perhaps even the special existence of the Ash Butterfly, which can almost be regarded as the symbol of the end of everything, did not create a corresponding illusion.

Although all the sacrificial pillars are hidden, making it impossible to find the location of the special sacrificial pillar occupied by the abyss superior, Leo still deduces the Given the approximate locations of the other sacrificial pillars, it is not difficult to find out the location of that special sacrificial pillar.

However, Leo didn't just stand here and analyze the location of the sacrificial pillar, because he didn't need to use this method to find it, he had an easier method.

I saw that he directly aroused the rune magic circle arranged on the central square of the mud nest in the normal world through his spirit, stimulating the sacrificial pillar hidden in the hemlock in the square, and arousing the abyssal breath in it.

Almost at the same time as the stimulation in the normal world, the sacrificial pillars hidden in the illusion of the abyss began to appear in the sky, and not only one appeared, but all the sacrificial pillars, only the one missing The sacrificial pillar occupied by the superiors of the abyss.

It's just that at this moment, Leo no longer needs to use other methods to find the location of the special sacrificial pillar. After all, there are a large number of sacrificial pillars densely packed around him, and only one piece is missing in the middle, floating in the air very abruptly. Do you want to see it? It's hard to get there.

After confirming the location, Leo planned to fly over directly. After all, there is no ash butterfly in the air to block this abyssal illusion, but he didn't know that he joined after he came, and restored the original. This abyssal illusion seems to contain a similar world The power of the air-forbidden law of the law, all witchcraft, psionic power, etc. that involve flying, can no longer be used.

After trying several times, he found that this was not a problem that could be solved by changing the power, but that it was related to the prohibition of the laws of the world. Leo could only rely on two legs to walk towards the direction of the special sacrificial pillar.

Although the ruins of various eras are layered together like the land where everything ends, it is still much easier to walk here than the real land where everything ends. After all, there are no ashes of the holy ruins that have been deposited for countless years. The ashes of the holy ruins are almost as weightless as air, and they will immediately sink into it as soon as they step in. Surrounded by ash for a long time, they will also be eroded and polluted by it, and the body shows signs of decay.

Obviously, this place is just an illusion of the abyss created by an abyss master after all. Even the ashes butterfly cannot be created through the illusion, let alone the ashes of the holy ruins.

Walking in these ruins, the only thing Leo needs to be careful about is the pseudo-abyssal creatures between illusion and reality. Although these abyssal creatures are all fake, it is clear that the abyssal superiors who created this abyssal illusion are very aware of these abyssal creatures His habits and abilities make these illusions almost unreal. If he is attacked by these illusions of abyssal creatures without defense, he will also be injured or even die as if he was really attacked.

These abyssal creatures are absolutely deadly to ordinary people or ordinary extraordinary people, but to Leo, these abyssal creatures are not even as dangerous as the black storm blowing on the polar snow field, and he encountered constant attacks along the way , but it did not hinder him in any way.

On the contrary, these almost real phantoms of abyssal creatures have allowed Leo's database of abyss knowledge to be compared and updated with real data. It is no longer just derived from the fragmented memories of the abyss serpent and some related books related to the abyss as before. Such circumstantial evidence.

In particular, he also encountered some abyssal creatures that were not recorded in the database. For this reason, when he encountered such attacks from the abyssal creatures, he would not destroy them directly and roughly, but captured them and imprisoned them, and then continued Hurry up, while dissecting it, recording various data of these abyssal creatures from the inside to the outside.

It has to be said that this abyss illusion is a perfect and safe place for Leo to collect all kinds of data in the abyss. If he doesn't have business to do, he doesn't even mind staying in this illusion for a month. Organize and record all the data related to the abyss here.

In addition to these abyssal creatures, the ruins of the times that are layered together are also distracting to Leo. Although most of the buildings here are the architectural forms of the polar mountain city-states and tribes, they should be from the fire-walker Perunia. It was pieced together from my memory, but there are still some special buildings mixed in these buildings.

Among these special buildings, some show the original architectural style of the Old World, but in terms of the overall shape of the building, they are very exquisite, not as rough as other original buildings. city ​​buildings.

What's interesting is that these buildings are also mixed with some earth federation-style buildings that look like some kind of colonial base. These buildings are not forcibly stacked together, because these buildings are integrated with other surrounding buildings. They are all perfect, or it can be said that other buildings around are specially built to fit the architectural style of the Earth Federation base. It can be seen that there may be many Earth Federation colonies that are still relatively well preserved in the non-human and alien holy cities of the New World. base.

If, at this moment, he was in the New World, then Leo would still go to the holy land of non-human races to investigate, but now he has no interest in personally checking whether there is really a relic of the Earth Federation base there, just I plan to ask the elf Teresa for confirmation after the matter here is over.

In addition to the buildings of the holy city of inhuman alien races, there are also many ruins of buildings with weird styles and obviously belonging to different civilizations. This means that the abyss master has been to many worlds. As for whether these worlds were destroyed because of his arrival, It is not known, but at least judging from the level of detail of these buildings, it is not a short period of time for the superiors of the abyss to stay in those worlds.

Leo also tried to find out what he might have seen from the architectural ruins of these different civilizations, and the result was as he wished. He indeed saw a building whose style was very similar to that in the world of the witcher he had been to before. The architectural style of the elves, but the ruins of such buildings are covered with a layer of frost, which looks like they have been frozen. This made Leo think of the most widely circulated frost prophecy in the world, and guessed that the abyss master Or perhaps they have been to an elf kingdom that has been destroyed by the Frost Prophecy.

Although Leo was distracted by him along the way, his speed did not slow down. About two hours later, he came to the place where the special sacrificial pillar was.

Unlike other places in Abyssal Illusion, the place where the special sacrificial pillar is located is not the layered ruins of era buildings like the Land of All Ends, but a black oily land formed by the residues left after the fragments of the fallen world have been completely corrupted.

In the incomplete memory of the abyss serpent, there is some information about this kind of black oil land. It is said that this kind of black oil land can only be seen at the bottom of the abyss, and there are not many abyss upper races who can enter the bottom of the abyss.

This does not mean that other abyssal upper races are weak, but because Heiyoudi is a special illusion. Any abyssal upper race that does not resist enters here, will be corrupted, trapped in it, unable to extricate itself, even if it escapes, it will be destroyed. Because of the corrosion, it went completely crazy, and eventually mutated into a monster called the Abyss Disorder.

For example, the abyssal dragons are famous for their strength among the various high-ranking races in the abyss, and their innate bodies also allow them to withstand damage far beyond the limit of other high-ranking races, but such a powerful high-ranking race is not at all Being able to get close to the black oil land, because as long as they get close to the abyss dragon, they will inevitably be corroded, and their resistance to this kind of corrosion is almost zero.

On the contrary, the abyss serpents are immune to the corrosion of the black oil land, and they can easily travel through the black oil land, so there are also rumors in the abyss that the abyss serpents have established a secret refuge in the black oil land, so that the group encounters In the event of a devastating blow, there are still enough members hiding in a safe place to wait for the revival.

Although there is not much content about Heiyoudi in the fragmented memory of the Abyss Serpent, these contents are all useful, allowing Leo to understand the basic characteristics of Heiyoudi.

In order to be able to confirm that this black oil land is the black oil land in the abyss data, Leo even transformed part of the power of the abyss serpent, disguised himself as an abyss serpent, and then approached the black oil land, and even walked into it, carefully and carefully Feeling how the black oil land erodes the intruder.

As a result, it was indeed a dark place as he thought, and at this time, Leo also seemed to realize how this abyssal superior would deal with those who were unfavorable to him. People who are directly pulled into this phantom of Heiyoudi can directly borrow the special corrupting power of Heiyoudi itself to corrupt all the entrants, even the abyssal dragon is no exception.

Feeling that the danger on Sylvia had increased a lot, Leo's face became less relaxed, and more serious and nervous.

At the same time, Leo felt doubts in his heart, because being able to create such a perfect phantom of the Black Oil Land meant that the abyssal high-ranking person who was the Corrupt Tongue Tocatney had personally been to the Black Oil Land The bottom of the abyss where it is located, and has been in close contact with the corrupting power produced by the black oil.

But the problem is that according to the information about Heiyoudi in the incomplete memory of the Abyss Serpent, there are clearly recorded three abyssal races that can approach or even enter Heiyoudi, and there is no Corrupt Tongue Tokatni among these three abyssal races. this race.

It's just that the phantom of this black oil land is imitated so realistically now, which is enough evidence to prove that the abyss master has indeed been to the black oil land, and may even have lived in the black oil land for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible He will know the situation in Heiyoudi so well.

"Could we have made a mistake from the beginning?" Leo suddenly had a bold idea at this time, and said in his heart: "There is no corrupt tongue Tokatni under Huajing City at all, but those three people who can freely enter the abyss. Oil land, and the abyssal race that lived there for a long time?"
