The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Stop!" Sean yelled loudly after his subordinates shot the arrows with two clips.

At the moment when the order was issued, everyone was well-trained to stop the attack, but the weapons in their hands were not put away, but they were still aimed at the corpses that were lying on the ground and covered in arrows, so as not to slip through the net. fish.

Sean reloaded a magazine for the gun in his hand, scanned the corpses on the ground, and then walked to the corpse closest to him that had five or six bullet holes on his body, and used his feet to push the lying body down. The corpse kicked over, revealing a pale face that still had an expression of disbelief.

Xiao En looked at the corpses under his feet and said with disdain: "What a bunch of idiots! You think that you will be invincible after fusing a little Ability God cells and producing a little ability, but you don't know that you are just a bunch of failures."

After finishing speaking, he signaled the others to throw all the corpses into the cracked abyss beside the ground, without paying any attention to the battle just now.

On the other hand, seeing the fighting power of these people, Nelson felt that it would be difficult for Leo and the others to rescue him, and at the same time worried that Leo and the others would be discovered by his relatives and end up with the corpses around them.

So he put his hands behind his back, and quietly gestured to Leo and the others in the rock cave behind, telling them to leave immediately and leave him alone.

Both Jason and Catherine saw Nelson's gesture. Although they also had lingering fears about the battle just now, neither of them considered giving up Nelson and leaving.

As for Leo, he ignored Nelson's gesture at all, because his mind was not on Nelson at all.

Most of his attention at the moment is on the mocking words Sean said to the corpse just now. Although it was just a simple sentence, it provided a lot of information to his ears, such as in this In the sentence, Sean mentioned the term alien cell.

From this sentence, it is not difficult to hear that Sean should be very clear about how these priests of the Aknaya Church acquired this chameleon-like ability, and that alien cell should be the key to this genetic mutation.

Reminiscent of the high-level biological wreckage he got from that monster, it was not difficult for Leo to deduce that the Ability God cells that Sean was talking about should be the high-level biological wreckage.

"It seems that people in this world really have a set of heterogeneous gene fusion technology that is different from science, and the success rate is not low." When speculating on the origin of the alien cells, Leo also had a rather strange feeling in his heart. Take a wild guess.

The reason for this guess is that Sean laughed at these priests as some failures. Since Sean can distinguish and classify the failures, then Sean must have seen a success that can be used as one, and the number is probably Not just one.

"Your Excellency Xiao En, the cableway bridge has been built." Just as Leo was analyzing the ridicule full of content, the person in charge of building the cableway bridge near the broken bridge said loudly to Sean.

Xiao En walked to the side of the broken bridge and saw the two cableways extending to the opposite side. The ropes were shaking because of the airflow gushing from the cracked abyss, he couldn't help frowning, and confirmed to the person in charge: "Is this cableway safe? "

"It's very safe, absolutely nothing will happen." The person who built the bridge was obviously a nerd. After patting his chest to assure him, he hesitated for a while, then retracted his guarantee, and said, "Of course, nothing can be 100% Safety, Mr. Sean, you can send two people there first, use this kind of rope reinforcement to completely fix the barb arrow on the opposite side, and then use the cable roller to slide on the cableway, it will be faster and safer .” As he spoke, he paused, and added: “Of course, the premise is that there are no accidents.”

Hearing his subordinates answer his question in such a twists and turns way, although the answer was very detailed, Sean didn't have the idea of ​​approving, but instead had the urge to slap him.

Sean took a deep breath, held back the impulse in his heart, raised the hand used for slapping, then changed the direction and patted the other person's shoulder, saying: "In this case, the task of fixing the rope in the past will be entrusted to you gone."

Although this person is a nerd, he is not stupid. He refused without thinking, "Sorry, Mr. Xiao En, I am not in the operation team, and I am not responsible for such a task."

Sean really wanted to put the gun in his hand against this guy's forehead and force him to walk the cableway again, but he also knew very well that these people were only following his orders during this mission, and they were not really his subordinates.

Therefore, he could only think about it in his head. As for the reality, he ordered two people in the action team to use the ropeway to cross the broken bridge opposite, and strengthen the rope again, so as to be safe.

Although these people are elite fighters who have experienced many battles, they were still terrified and frightened when faced with such an abyss where the bottom could not be seen below, and it took nearly half an hour to dally. Only then did a person successfully pass the ropeway to the opposite side.

As for the other person, his hands and feet suddenly became weak in the middle of the climb, and he fell from the rope, and his luck was very bad, the safety lock tied around his waist was not tied firmly, and in the end he fell like the corpse he handled before. fell into the abyss

While these English people were making the final arrangements to go to the other side, Leo used his mental net to probe the other side, preparing to take the first step to understand the situation on the other side.

Originally, the width of the Fissure Abyss was only more than 50 meters at most, and the coverage of Leo's spiritual net could easily expand to the opposite side, but what was surprising was that there seemed to be a force on the opposite side that was repelling his spiritual net, making his The Spirit Net couldn't do any exploration of the situation there, so the projection from the opposite side of the Earth Fissure Abyss to his three-dimensional map was blank.

This is not the first time this happened. When Leo was investigating the sacrament on the ground, there was a similar situation. At that time, there were three rooms that could not be explored, and the reason why they could not be explored, he speculated that it might have something to do with the three high priests of the Akenaya Church, because one of the rooms had the quiet place where the high priest Major had talked with Catherine. thinking hall.

As for what kind of force on the opposite side of the Earth Fissure Abyss caused this phenomenon, he couldn't guess it at that time, and the sub-brain system couldn't analyze it until enough data was collected.

Just when Leo was entangled in the situation on the other side of the abyss, the person who had passed by had already reinforced the rope. After confirming that there was no problem, he hung the kind of load rollers used for dock loading on the rope and let it go along. On the opposite side of the slope slideway of the rope, he lit the oil lamp in his hand and shook it in the air, indicating that it was ready to pass.

"You, you, you..." Sean ordered ten people at once, and said, "You all go with me, and the rest stay where you are, in case anyone comes to interfere." After speaking, he shouted at Nelson: " Nelson, we..."

When Sean was about to call Nelson over, he suddenly stopped as if he had been hit by a hold spell, and followed his eyes to the exit of the passage. Panic and panic.

Sean's abnormality also caught Leo's attention, and now Sean's expression clearly indicated that there was a dangerous presence in the passage.

All his attention just now was on investigating the situation on the other side of the broken bridge, and he didn't take into account the situation on the side of the passage, but his mental network has been opened all the time, collecting various data within the scope of the spiritual network,

However, when he looked at the topographic map formed by the spiritual net, he found that the situation in that passage was the same as the situation on the other side of the Earth Rift Abyss. The spiritual net was rejected, and the small area was marked in the constructed topographic map. Just mark a blank.

Although the two are very similar in function, their influence on the surroundings is not the same.

The invisible repulsive force on the opposite side of the Earth Fissure Abyss is so powerful that it can cover a huge area far beyond two hundred meters on the other side, while the other can only use the repulsive force around his own body, so he can still get it from the topographic map of the channel. From the shape of the blank, it can be judged that this is a human with a height of at most 1.8 meters.

"You, haven't you fallen asleep?" Sean obviously knew the person coming, and he was very afraid of the person coming. He completely lost the calmness and decisiveness just now, and even his voice could feel trembling.

Other people around were also aware of the problem, and raised their weapons one after another, aiming at the exit of the passage.

"If I haven't woken up, I'm afraid you will kill all my children." In the passage, there was a hoarse voice, followed by a man wearing a red Aknaya robe and covering his head. The hooded man came out of the passage.

Leo could feel that Catherine's body trembled slightly at the moment the person spoke and walked out. It was obvious that she also knew this person.

Because of Catherine's behavior and the abnormality on the spiritual network, Leo can basically be sure that this mysterious man wearing a special red robe is probably one of the three priests of the Aknaya Church.

Sean tried his best to explain: "It's not my fault. I was forced to fight back. They wanted to attack me first."

"But they didn't attack you after all, did they?" The red-robed man walked to the sculpture in the center of the square, stopped, and said calmly,

"I..." When Sean was about to say something, suddenly a person behind him pulled the trigger probably because he was too nervous, and shot an arrow at the man in red, but the arrow missed. The target flew behind the target, sticking to the target's cheek, and submerged into the stone walls around the square.

And the other Englishmen holding weapons may have seen someone doing this, so they also pulled the triggers of the mechanical crossbows in their hands without receiving orders from Sean, and shot the arrows in the ammunition box one by one. Brain shot.

In an instant, bows and arrows flew around in the square where no one had approached for many years, covering the entire area. The man in red seemed to have forgotten to dodge and let those arrows pierce his body.

When all the arrows in the hands of the surrounding Yingge people were shot, the teaching robe on that person's body was riddled with holes, and his whole body was pierced into a hedgehog.

Seeing the plight of the man in red, Sean immediately wanted to cheer loudly, wishing he could kiss the person who shot the arrow first just now, but in the cave on the wall, Catherine was covering her mouth tightly with a sad face, and her tears stopped. She couldn't stop streaming out, apparently she thought the man in red had been killed.

Only Leo felt through the spiritual network that not only was the red-robed man's body fine, but a strong spiritual energy was rapidly accumulating in his body, and it would burst out in five seconds at most.

So Leo immediately took back the spiritual net, and quickly followed the method of the federal psykers to overlap and reinforce the spiritual net, forming a mental barrier around his position.

This spiritual barrier not only protected Jason and Catherine, but also Nelson below.

At the moment when Leo's mental barrier was formed, the spiritual energy in the red-robed man's body had already accumulated to his extreme, and was instantly released by him, forming a wave of spiritual energy like an energy tsunami that rushed towards the surroundings.

This wave of psionic energy cannot cause damage to inanimate objects such as rocks, but it has a fatal effect on all living objects.

Although the surrounding fluorescent plants were not the main target of the psionic energy wave, they died instantly after the aftermath of the psionic energy wave swept through them because they were too fragile. The light emitted by the plants also quickly dimmed, and soon the place fell into darkness among.

The Yingge people standing opposite the red-robed man, headed by Xiao En, endured most of the psionic energy waves. Under the impact of the psionic energy waves, they were so fragile that they were no different from those fluorescent plants, as if internal organs, The brain was put into the blender and crushed, the seven orifices were bleeding, and the eyeballs were all squeezed out due to intracranial pressure, and finally fell down like harvested wheat, and stopped breathing.

However, Sean, who is the leader of these people, did not suffer any damage under the impact of the psionic energy wave.

Because when the psionic energy wave hit, a pendant on his neck suddenly shone with light, covering him and blocking the psionic energy wave from the outside.

When the psionic energy wave slid across the surface of the mask, it collided with the mysterious energy contained in the mask, and the two burst out a gorgeous colorful halo almost at the same time, which was particularly eye-catching in this dark environment.

On the other side, the scattered psionic energy penetrated into the place where Leo was, and collided with the mental barrier that Leo had set up earlier, causing Leo a slight pain in the forehead and a feeling of dizziness. After recovering, Leo's mental barrier also collided with the psionic energy wave like the mask on Xiao En's body, and a faint light burst out.

At this moment, Leo found that the psychic wave falling on his side was much weaker than expected. Under the impact just now, his daily spiritual value was only a little bit lost, which was far lower than he expected.

Judging from the conflict reaction of the psychic energy wave outside the mental barrier, even if this psychic energy wave is not blocked by him, it will not cause fatal damage to Nelson and the other two people around him like other Yingges. Just a headache for a while.

"It seems that my whereabouts have been revealed." Leo quickly understood the reason for this situation.
