The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"I found it, inside the body!" Leo avoided a vine tip that was stabbing towards him, turned over and jumped up, the spiritual energy on his body turned into a sharp cone, breaking through the vine's hard skin like steel like a drilling machine, He led Leo into the inside of the vine, and the spiritual energy around him also blocked the blood-red sap like sulfuric acid from his body.

When entering the building, Leo scanned the roots of the giant vines with his mental net. However, he did not find any energy crystals at the roots, and even found that the roots of the giant vines were all petrified. The results of the mental net scan were quite different.

Before, when he entered the urban area, he had carefully checked the situation of these giant vines with the mental network. At that time, the result of his scan was that these giant vines were much larger than normal vines and possessed a certain amount of wisdom. In terms of aspects, it is not much different from common vines. As for the spores that can cause people to fall into a hypnotic state, it is not a unique ability. In fact, many carnivorous plants have similar abilities.

However, now that Leo scanned through the mental network again, he found that these giant vines have undergone earth-shaking changes. For example, the roots are completely petrified, and the sap on his body can be identified as acid like sulfuric acid. The wisdom he felt at first is also gone. Only the predatory instinct remains, even if Leo releases the breath of life of a higher life form, creating a high and low suppression of the life level, can it reduce the attack desire of these giant vines by half.

The change of the giant vines made Leo feel a little puzzled, but he also thought of a possibility that caused this situation, that is, according to the time, the giant vines will show two or more types, such as now The state of predation, and the state of dormancy before, etc., this kind of thing is not a rare ability in plants.

Because the purpose of coming here was to find energy crystals, Leo did not waste time on the giant vines mutating. After the roots of the giant vines failed to find energy crystals, Leo began to look for the giant vines again, and soon He soon found a few places where energy crystals were suspected to exist.

The reason why it is said to be suspicious is because when the mental network scans those parts, it is like encountering a black hole. The energy of the spiritual network is instantly absorbed and swallowed by those parts, so that Leo does not know where those parts are. What exactly is there in this part.

After finding out a few suspected ending energy crystal parts, Leo immediately came to the nearest part, then broke through the skin of the giant vine, forcibly opened a passage, and came to the place that can absorb the energy of the spiritual network.

And the moment he arrived at the place, Leo was also a little surprised, because the place was a spherical object formed entirely of energy crystals, and in the middle of the spherical object were perfect hexagonal containers, which looked like Like a hive, and inside each container lies a monster.

Because of the energy crystal interference, Leo was not able to see clearly what the monster lying in the container was, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't help being stunned, and said to himself with a puzzled face: " Abyssal race? Why does this plant breed an abyssal race?"

I saw that those monsters lying in the container were all inferior abyssal races, many of which had not yet completed their bodies, and you could see the bones, muscles, and even internal organs in their bodies. Ou felt like he was in a cultivation room in a certain biological experiment base of the Earth Federation.

Although Leo easily identified the types of these abyssal races, the doubts in his heart did not decrease, on the contrary, they increased.

Because these abyssal races in front of us are not a species, and they have no blood relationship with each other. Several of the abyssal races can even be said to be inherent mortal enemies. It is impossible to stay together, let alone be conceived at the same time.

And more importantly, in memory, all abyssal races, whether they are superior or inferior, are all bred individually within the population. It has never been heard that a plant can breed dozens of different abyssal races at the same time.

Because although the origin of the abyssal race is the power of the abyss, the performance of the power of the abyss on them is very different. In addition, the law of the abyss is the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest. Not to mention, so dozens of abyssal races gather together, even if they don't fight each other, their power will attack each other, so so many abyssal races are conceived at the same time, according to normal circumstances, at this moment the giant vines should It has long been torn apart by the destructive power produced when the forces of different abyssal races clash with each other.

But in fact, this giant vine grew very well, and was not affected by these inferior abyssal races that were being bred at all.

In addition, Leo is also curious why he can't feel any abyssal breath on this giant plant. Logically speaking, so many abyssal races are conceived in it, even if there is no connection with it, just the distance from it It is very close, and it should also be eroded and affected by the power of the abyss. It will definitely not be unaffected like it is now, and there are not even some mutations with abyssal characteristics.

With doubts in his heart, Leo put his hand on the energy crystal that had become a cultivation cabin in front of him, wanting to break the crystal, take out those abyssal races that are still being bred, and see if he can find anything from them clues come.

However, when he exerted his strength, he found that after the power was transmitted to the energy crystal, it was immediately swallowed by the energy crystal, just like the spirit net was swallowed when it came into contact with it.

Afterwards, Leo learned to use all kinds of powers. As a result, whether it is psionic power or shaman power, as long as he gets close to the energy crystal, he will be swallowed instantly, except for the power of the stone throne and the devouring power of the chaos stomach.

The power of the Stone Throne will not be swallowed by energy crystals, which is normal in Leo's view. After all, although the swallowing effect produced by this energy crystal is very magical, but in terms of the level of power, the power produced by this energy crystal The energy is more than a star and a half behind the Stone Throne, and it is very normal to have no resistance to the power of the Stone Throne.

On the contrary, it was the devouring power generated by the chaotic stomach pouch that would actively devour the power of this energy crystal in reverse, and then integrate it into the chaotic stomach pouch, which surprised Leo, even a little shocked.

The Chaos Stomach can be said to be the earliest extraordinary power that appeared in Leo's body. Through the devouring power generated by the Chaos Stomach, Leo has transformed various complex external energies countless times. This kind of power is also the most frequently used by Leo. A power that surpasses even psionic power.

However, the Chaos Stomach has a characteristic, that is, any power transformed by the power of devouring cannot be integrated into the Chaos Stomach, and the Chaos Stomach cannot be improved through the improvement of Leo's life form. What was the state of the chaotic stomach sac when he had it, so what is the current state of the chaotic stomach sac, there is no change at all.

But now the power emitted by this energy crystal does not need any transformation, it is directly absorbed by the chaotic stomach, and after absorbing this energy, the chaotic stomach seems to have some changes.

Although these changes are very slight, and you can't feel them if you don't look carefully, this kind of change has never been seen before, which undoubtedly shows that this kind of energy crystal can help the evolution of the chaotic stomach.

Thinking of this, Leo didn't bother to study what happened to the abyssal race bred in this crystal. He directly let go of the power of devouring and actively absorbed the power contained in this energy crystal.

Although this energy crystal is very large and looks like a small warehouse, under Leo's full absorption, the crystal began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the abyssal races that were being bred in the crystal were also disappearing quickly, like It was the same as being eaten by crystals.

Perhaps because they sensed the abnormality of the crystal, the giant vines became extremely restless, and tentacles extended from the surroundings, turning into sharp swords and spears and poking towards Leo.

However, Leo didn't even dodge, and let these attacks land on him, but all of them were ineffective, not to mention hurting Leo, even the layer of spiritual energy shield around his body couldn't do anything. breach.

In this way, the energy crystal surrounded by giant vines shrank rapidly, and was finally completely absorbed by Leo.

However, when the energy crystal was completely absorbed, a seed hidden in the crystal was also exposed, and Leo held it in his hand.

Because of the disappearance of the energy crystals, the surrounding vines began to wither, and then quickly turned into wood, turning into a piece of dead wood in an instant.

Leo ignored the changes around him. He spread his hand and looked at the seed hidden in the energy crystal.

"The seed of the abyss?" Leo said to himself with a little doubt: "Is this really the seed of the abyss?"

Under normal circumstances, the seeds of the abyss generally refer to the seeds of all plant-like abyssal races. These seeds have a great effect on corrupting the world. When other abyssal races invade a certain world, they will carry a large number of seeds of the abyss. , cast it to various parts of the invaded world, let the seeds of the abyss grow, and finally completely abyss the world.

However, there is also a kind of abyss in the abyss, and the specific content is not mentioned too much in the abyss information obtained by Leo. He just knows that there was a crazy abyss superior in the abyss in the past, and he wanted to create another An abyss, and using various methods to create a kind of abyss seed, using this kind of thing, he can breed all abyss races outside the abyss.

In the end, it is not known whether this abyss master succeeded in creating another abyss, but all the relevant information disappeared after this abyss master disappeared. Only a few abyss races have inherited memories that know that there is such a crazy abyss The High Ones used to exist.

Although, Leo didn't think that the thing in his hand was the abyss seed that belonged to the abyss superior in his memory, but under the action of special energy, so many different abyssal races could be bred from this seed with a strong abyssal breath Judging from it, this seed also has the meaning of the seed of the abyss.

Leo put the seed in the storage space temporarily, and took it out after seeing Sylvia. Sylvia should know what it is.

After collecting the seeds, Leo quickly checked the situation of the Chaos Stomach. Although he absorbed such a large energy crystal, it did not bring much change to the Chaos Stomach, so Leo set the target It aimed at other energy crystals hidden in the giant vines.

In this way, Leo shuttled back and forth among the giant vines, looking for every energy crystal hidden in it to absorb, and the giant vines also attacked Leo frantically, trying to stop him, but faced with a powerful demigod, the giant vines The attack did nothing at all.

In just half an hour, the energy crystals in a giant vine were completely absorbed by Leo, and the giant vine seemed to have lost all vitality and completely withered, but Leo could feel that the giant vine was He didn't really die, and there is still a life force in his body that is tenaciously supporting like a small flame. This life force contains a strong natural breath, and this natural breath is slowly repairing the giant vines that have turned into dead wood. It turns into a normal vine.

Feeling this life force, Leo immediately moved to its vicinity, and saw a green shoot growing on a dead wood vine. Although it looked fragile, he could feel the vitality in it.

Leo didn't destroy this bud, because he felt the breath of life attached to the fruit that the giant vine took out when he was courting him. It seems that the two should have the same origin.

So he took out a totem pole, placed it next to the sprout, and then used shaman magic to stir up the runes on the totem pole, gradually forming a natural field full of natural power.

Perhaps feeling the benefits of the surrounding environment to him, this bud swayed twice, as if greeting Leo.

At this moment, Leo can already be sure that the giant vines must have been transformed by some kind of external force, and the method of absorbing the energy crystals by himself just removes the part of the transformation, and the buds left in the end should be the true colors of the vines. In a way, it helped this special vine.

Leo didn't stay any longer, and quickly left the body of the dead wood giant vine, rushing towards another building not far away that was parasitized by giant vines.

While Leo was dealing with the giant vines, in the respective temples of the three goddesses at the top of the volcano in the inner city of New Rand, the priests of the three goddesses, who were waiting for the feedback from the subordinates who were looking for the whereabouts of the savior, fell asleep in unison. They dreamed the same oracle dream, except that the gods who gave them the oracle were different, and the contents of the oracle were all the same, so they immediately went to Rand, where the abyss vines had been purified.
