The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What is that?" It was the first time for the eyeless mother to come to such a secret place inside the holy hall, and she was completely shocked by everything in front of her eyes. Although she knew the legend of the Guha giant, she didn't really see it. I have seen anything related to the Guha giant, let alone the complete bones of the Guha giant.

"This is the skeleton of the Guha giant." Alice explained.

"It's really small. The bones of these giants are much smaller than the Guha giants I expected." The female leader said a little puzzled.

Hearing the female leader's words, the eyeless mother also broke away from the shock and showed doubts. As the female leader said, although the skulls of the Guha giants that make up the skull column are huge, they are only for ordinary people like them. Compared with the previous giants, the skulls of these Guha giants have It looks a little small.

Both the eyeless nun and the female leader turned their heads to look at Alice, waiting for Alice's answer. Cute Alice froze in place, not knowing how to answer this question, because she didn't know the answer either. Her understanding of this place was only From the introduction of people from the former black sect.

However, before Alice was embarrassed for too long, Leo opened her mouth to help her, saying: "The more powerful the existence, the remains that can be left intact after death will not be many, let alone large. , They will all transform into another form and return to the world. These Guha giants can leave such a large and complete skeleton, which shows that they were not too powerful when they were alive, and they may even be only stronger than us Just a little bit."

Hearing Leo's explanation, Alice and the others showed surprise expressions on their faces, but they were also curious about why Leo knew these things.

"How do we go next?" Leo asked, ignoring everyone's suspicious eyes, turning to look at Alice.

"Go to the door of the lair." Alice pointed to a giant arch in the distance on the right, and then took the initiative to lead the way and walked onto the bridge of bones that looked unstable.

Leo deliberately slowed down, letting the eyeless nun and the female leader follow up, and he walked behind. When the others were not paying attention, he looked up the dome from time to time. There was a piece of The subspace is a special space formed by old movies. This space should be the Hall of Valor where the giant of the black city goes after his death.

Neither Alice nor the Eyeless Mother can see the subspace, but Leo can clearly see the situation in the subspace through his spiritual vision, just like the White City and the Black City, which are combined by the remaining power of the Guha giant. The special space formed by subspace debris is also undergoing mutations. Leo saw a large number of mutated monsters attacking each other in the subspace, but what really caught Leo's attention was that he saw signs of human pus on some mutant monsters.

Leo didn't think he was wrong, because the hunger sent by the chaotic stomach sac was the best signal to identify human pus, and there were only two possibilities to see human pus in this subspace, one was that the abyss had invaded this subspace. Space, the other is that this subspace is falling towards the end of everything, no matter which possibility is not a good thing for Leo.

Because it is obvious that the subspace of the Hall of Valor and the subspace where Yamu Island is located are closely connected. Once that subspace is invaded by the abyss, it is inevitable that Yamu Island will also be invaded by the abyss. The connected world of Velen cannot be avoided. Only by separating Yam Island or the Hall of Valor can it be possible to prevent the invasion of the abyss.

"Wait!" After passing more than a dozen bone bridges, Alice stopped suddenly, and then pointed to a skull pillar in front of her.

I saw a huge black shadow entangled on the top of the pillar. If you look carefully, you will find that this black shadow is a mass of viscous material, sticking to the top of the pillar. It looks like a cocoon from a distance. , and the mutated corpses of some giants were stuck around, seeping in a little bit, feeling like being eaten by black oil worm cocoons.

"What is this?" Eyeless Sister asked Alice in a low voice.

Alice replied with a blank face: "I don't know, I haven't seen such a thing." After a pause, she added: "It should not be something that existed in the holy hall."

Compared to the bewilderment of Alice and others, Leo immediately recognized the origin of this thing after seeing it for the first time. This is the devourer, a biological cleaning device specially developed by the Weiya people.

As the largest wandering race in the universe, the Via people's fleet travels through the subspace all year round, and the travel time is very long, the longest time is even as high as a hundred years.

During this period of time, the spaceship is completely sealed, except for the particle beam injection port of the subspace engine, the spaceship cannot close the protective force field, or open any exits.

So many people living in one place for a long time will inevitably produce a lot of waste, and the spaceship itself produces a lot of waste, so the disposal of these wastes has become the biggest trouble.

In the early days, these wastes were directly thrown into the particle beam of the spacecraft engine to decompose, but later someone discovered that doing so would cause irreparable wear and tear to the warp engine, so the Via people had to think of another way.

Until the Weiya people discovered a mollusc creature on a certain planet, after a series of experiments, the Weiya people improved the mollusc creature into a strange creature with super digestive ability, and they placed this creature on every ship The spaceship is dedicated to waste disposal, and this problem has just been solved.

Because this kind of creature can perfectly dispose of any waste, and the excrement it produces can be used as an energy body to maintain some ordinary energy units inside the spacecraft, so this kind of creature has also become the standard equipment of various spacecraft in the universe , which is one of the important commodities of Weiya people.

Leo once served as an ordinary handyman in a certain spaceship in order to perform a mission, serving special creatures like the Devourer for two years, so he is very familiar with this creature, even if this creature has mutated now, he still Can be recognized at a glance.

At this moment, the body size of this devourer is more than ten times larger than normal, and it seems to have evolved into a spiritual creature. Leo can clearly feel strong fluctuations in spiritual energy from it. The strength of the psychic power of the capable person.

"I suggest that it is best to bypass it." Alice, who knew nothing about Devourers, gave the most suitable suggestion, and the Eyeless Nunnery and the female leader also nodded in agreement.

Leo said flatly: "Now it's not whether we want to bypass it, but whether it allows us to bypass it."

"What do you mean by that?" Alice asked puzzled.

Leo didn't answer, but pointed at the devourer, and saw that the devourer's shape began to change at this time, and all the viscous substances were like paint attached to the wreckage of the giant spirit that hadn't had time to digest, and all the wreckage Kneaded together, it eventually turned into a skeletal giant with a dozen arms and legs.

After the skeleton giant took shape, it fell from the air. The huge body turned over in the air very flexibly, landed firmly on the ground, and then rushed towards Leo and the others without stopping at all.

Although the size of the skeleton giant is much smaller than that of the giant spirit, and is only about twice the size of the largest giant monster outside the holy hall, the momentum it rushed over far surpassed those giant monsters, and There is a fear effect inherent in psionic energy, and when it is still far away from Alice and the others, Alice and the others can't help but feel a sense of fear in their hearts, and they want to turn around and run away.

However, Alice and the others are not ordinary people after all, and they quickly recovered from this fear. According to the previous cooperation experience of several people, the eyeless nun quickly retreated to a place where she could hide, and then activated her ability , looking for the weakness of the devourer, Alice mobilized her ability, and when the devourer came over, she covered all the external perception of the devourer, and the female leader took out a metal disc that had never appeared before and patted herself , a pair of brass armor covering the whole body appeared on her body, and at the same time, a stabbing spear emitting sunlight also appeared out of nowhere in her palm.

Leo, who was originally preparing to deal with the attack of the mutant devourer, saw the change of the female leader, and immediately thought of the brass warrior among the three god-born warriors he saw when he left the royal city. Although there are some differences in the appearance of the two, judging from some symbols and overall shape, they should be the same kind of armor, and the energy breath emitted by the stabbing spear is very similar to the power breath of the brass warrior.

If Leo expressed a little bit of doubt about whether the female leader's tribe really came from Wangcheng before, then this doubt has completely disappeared now, and he can already be sure that the world of Velen and the outpost worlds of Wangcheng are completely the same world , which made him think of the things that are happening in the outpost world, such as the appearance of the living dead and the invasion of the power of the abyss, etc. These things may also happen in the world of Velen in the future.

Although Leo's mind is thinking about the problem now, his movements are not slow. While the female leader rushed out, he also turned the Gemini into a glove mode, put them on his hands, and rushed across a building quickly. The bridge of bones approached the Devourer who had already stepped on the same platform.

Compared with Leo, the female leader whose lower body is in the shape of a horseshoe is much faster. When the Devourer officially stepped onto this platform, she had already rushed to the Devourer, and stabbed the spear in her hand fiercely. At the ankle of the leg, the spear directly picked away an important piece of cartilage on the ankle, making the leg difficult to control.

It's just that, for a devourer with a lot of arms and legs, it won't cause any trouble if one leg is uncontrollable. On the contrary, the female leader's attack angered him. He raised his arms and feet high and pointed at the ant-like The female leader stepped on it and patted it.

However, the huge body of the Devourer slowed down the attack speed. On the other hand, the mutated hoof of the female leader gave her the ability to move quickly, allowing her to easily dodge the attack of the Devourer.

However, the Devourer obviously didn't just rely on its huge body to attack the enemy. After finding that the conventional attack was ineffective, a liquid was secreted from the body surface and rained down on the female leader.

Because when the female leader dodged, relying on her previous experience in dealing with those giant monsters, she chose the space under the body of the devourer as the dodging direction, because she thought that the position under the body of such a huge monster would make it difficult for the opponent to attack, but she never thought This approach also reduced her dodging space a lot. When the Devourer's attack changed, she had no time to respond, and could only watch the liquid with an obviously dangerous aura fall. The only thing I can rely on is this brass armor on my body.

Just when the liquid was about to fall on the female leader's body, an invisible force field blocked the top of the female leader's head, and then heard bursts of sizzle coming from the top of the head, and a pungent smell into her nose.

"This liquid is its gastric juice, which is extremely corrosive, and your armor may not be able to resist it." Leo, who used the spiritual field to block the corrosive liquid, pointed to the corroded ground of the platform next to him, and then motioned to the female leader Keeping up, leading the female leader to avoid the attack of the devourer while leaving the area under the devourer, jumped onto a bridge of bones, and escaped from this place that was riddled with acid corrosion.

The devourer didn't pursue the two of them, but continued to attack some open space on the platform, as if there was an invisible enemy fighting it there.

"I can't hide its perception for too long. There is a force in it that is resisting me. That force is very strong and growing rapidly." At this time, Alice, who came to the platform before the two of them, concentrated , controlling his strength, said quickly.

Hearing her words, the female leader looked towards the eyeless nanny in the distance. Usually, at this time, the eyeless nanny should use her ability to find out the weakness of the monster, and then she would be able to kill the monster with one blow.

However, this time, the Eyeless Sister failed to discover the weakness of the Devourer, or more correctly, there was no obvious weakness in the Devourer.

"What should we do now?" The female leader turned her head to look at Alice. When fighting monsters before, Alice was the one who took the lead, and made timely tactical arrangements.

Alice quickly thought of a countermeasure and said, "Destroy the bridge, trap it on that platform, find a way to destroy the platform, and use lava to deal with it."

"It's useless, don't forget, it can come from above." Leo pointed to the top and reminded.

Hearing Leo's reminder, the two realized that the Devourer was on the stone pillar just now, and the matter fell into a dead end again.

"Leave it to me! You try to hide its perception." Leo said calmly to Alice, then walked up the bridge of bones before, and signaled the female leader not to follow, and rushed to the Devourer alone. On the platform it was on, it looked like it was committing suicide and rushed towards the Devourer.
