The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"It shouldn't be very far from Pandle Harbor." After observing the surrounding situation, Leo determined that his current location should still be in Pandle through the surrounding air temperature and the smell of the ocean in the wind. within the area of ​​the port.

At the same time, he also activated his spiritual vision skills and mental net to check the surrounding situation, and soon he was startled by the thick energy fluctuations in the surrounding forest.

As far as he could see, within the range covered by the spiritual net, every tree contained very strong energy fluctuations, as if these trees were all spiritual creatures, but the strange thing was that the spiritual energy in the bodies of these trees They were all sealed inside the trunk, as if the bark of the tree was a barrier wall that could block spiritual energy.

It is also because of this that Leo did not notice any abnormal energy around him just now.

Obviously, the formation of these trees did not grow naturally, and this forest may also be artificially created.

The environment here makes Leo think of the Black Forest, but the Black Forest is completely natural.

"Another person is coming?" At this moment, a voice sounded from the nearby woods, and Leo's mental network also sensed the situation there at the same time.

I saw a woman with long green hair walking out of a tree. Because of the energy fluctuations of the tree itself, Leo's mental network could not perceive the details of the operation of the other party's ability. The energy fluctuations of his body are exactly the same as those of the surrounding trees. Obviously, these surrounding trees containing special energy fluctuations were also created by this woman.

"Witch?" Leo asked in a deep voice when he saw this woman.

"This kind of address is very impolite. I would rather you call us new women." The green-haired woman smiled, then walked up to Leo, looked Leo up and down, and said, "You are better than those in front." It is quite powerful, and even without any clues, I was able to find this place through a little guiding sign I left in the lighthouse, and it still appeared directly in my forest domain. How did you do it? You..."

The other party asked Leo curiously, but in the middle of the inquiry, her eyes fell on the locator in Leo's hand, and she seemed to recognize what the locator was. She was surprised and suddenly said: "So That's it, it turns out that you own this thing, no wonder you can pass through my barrier without a sound and appear inside my forest."

At this moment, Leo also wanted to know what the locator was from the other party, but he was not suitable for asking, so he temporarily suppressed his curiosity and turned his attention to the witch in front of him.

Although the Witch Squad is a well-known power in the dark world, it has always been a mystery as to who the members of the Witch Squad are. Except for a few who revealed their identities, most of the other witches are hidden. It turns out that even the best intelligence system in the black market does not know the exact number and identity of the witches.

Someone once deduced that there should only be two people in the world who know the identities of all the witches, one is the mysterious leader of the witch group, and the other is Dailiat's ice queen.

There are still different opinions on whether there is a leader of the witch group. Most people who know some rules of conduct of the witch group know that there will be a mysterious initiator every time the witch group gathers. They think that this initiator should be the leader of the witch group.

But there are still some people who, from the analysis of the witch's own personality, with each witch's strong personality and various codes of conduct, it is impossible for them to support a witch to become their leader at the same time, even if it is as strong as the Ice Queen Such a powerful witch who has been enshrined as a god in the world by the Kingdom of Deliyat still has not won the conviction of all witches.

The green long-haired witch in front of him was obviously not recorded in any information, but Leo had some judgments about her identity from other materials, so he said tentatively: "The forest demon?"

"You actually know Lin Yao?" The witch in front of her looked at Leo in surprise, and said in surprise.

Hearing the other party's surprised voice, Leo also understood that the other party had acquiesced that he had the blood of the forest demon, and he was no longer surprised by the other party's ability and the special forest around him.

There are many folk legends in the world that record the legend of the forest demon, but most of them confuse the forest demon with the tree demon, and finally integrated the forest demon into the tree demon race.

But in the books of the tower wizards who recorded some magical creatures from all over the world, these two races were not confused, but were very clearly defined as two magical creatures, or more correctly, one was a magical creature, The other is magical intelligent creatures.

Forest monsters are magical and intelligent creatures. No one knows how they appeared, but they only know that forest monsters are only female, not male, and each forest monster is a glamorous woman with long green hair. During the breeding season of the demons, these forest demons will lure humans who inadvertently trespass into their habitat, and finally, after the two have a relationship, the forest demons will eat the human beings, and then give birth to a new forest demon.

In the legends, there are many legends about knights crusading some forest demons. Those forest demons refer to forest demons. In those stories, knights finally won the victory and killed the forest demons who caused disasters, thus getting money, Power, even love, but in the real world, those actions of crusade against forest demons are undoubtedly all suicide actions.

The reason is also recorded in some books written by the wizards. The tower wizards almost all believe that the forest monster in the habitat forest is invincible and immortal, and even the gods cannot kill a forest monster in the habitat forest. Every tree in the habitat forest is equivalent to a clone of the forest demon, and after the forest demon is killed, it will instantly resurrect on other tree clones, and

Even so, it doesn't mean that the forest monster is invincible, because the gods don't need to enter the forest monster's habitat at all, they only need to completely destroy the entire habitat forest and forest monster.

When the witch with green hair came out from the surrounding tree trunks, Leo thought of the intelligent psionic creature like the forest demon. After all, its shape and iconic environment are obvious reminders. The only problem is that the other party The blood on the body.

"Half-race?" Leo asked again.

Leo didn't see it at first, but he quickly judged from the shape of the opponent's human ears that he had a part of the blood of the forest demon, and he was a hybrid of the forest demon that he had never had before.

"It seems that you do know a lot, and I'm beginning to know who you are." The witch felt that she was a little passive as the question and answer went on, and she didn't like questions about her blood, so she changed the subject a little bluntly road.

"How did you do it?" However, Leo did not let the other party go, but said like a cold researcher: "According to the research of the tower wizard, it is a physiological and psychological phenomenon that the forest demon eats his partner." The psychological needs are because the Lin Yao will be distorted a little bit psychologically during the pleasure with his partner, as for the physical needs, that is, if they don’t eat their partners, they will not be able to reproduce.”

The witch frowned, with a hint of displeasure on her face, and said, "Do you want to know? As long as you kiss me, I'll tell you."

When Leo heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then thought for a while, and walked in front of the forest demon.

Lin Yao was also confused by Leo's actions, and a nervous look appeared on his face.

However, the kiss expected by the forest demon did not appear. Leo just reached out and wiped her lips, then put his finger under his nose and sniffed, and said: "Pheromone, your lips can emit a female Pheromone, this kind of pheromone does not need to pass through saliva, it only needs skin contact to play a role, that is to say, you don’t need the opposite sex to kiss your lips, you only need to kiss any exposed skin of the opposite sex, and you can pass this kind of pheromone. Pheromones are used to affect the physiology of the opposite sex, and then indirectly affect the psychology of the opposite sex.”

Leo's analysis and explanation of the pheromone on Lin Yao's lips made the other party stunned for a while, but he didn't understand what he said at all.

"Haha!" Suddenly, a burst of unbridled laughter came from the nearby woods, followed by Sylvia in a hunting suit and another woman covered in a black veil embroidered with flames laughing. Coming out of the woods.

"Denise, I told you that you will suffer. If you don't believe me, you have to try it. What about now?" Sylvia said to the forest demon while walking.

The witch's face became very ugly, she glared at Sylvia fiercely, then glanced at Leo fiercely, then snorted coldly, retreated back into the trees, and the trees in front of her seemed to have grown Like the legs, separate left and right to make way.

"You came earlier than expected." Walking in front of Leo, Sylvia looked at Leo with a happy face and said, "I originally planned to go to Pender Harbor in the past two days to destroy the clues of those guys. Re-repair, I didn't expect you to arrive early, and found this place without any useful clues, and broke into the inner layer of the assembly hall without a sound. It seems that I invite you as my partner this time is very The right decision." As she spoke, she looked at the king and queen stuck in Leo's waist again, and asked curiously, "How are these two weapons modified? Are they powerful?"

Although it's been a while since I saw Sylvia, Leo didn't feel strange because of it. On the contrary, he said casually as if he just met yesterday: "After you transformed the king and queen, you didn't test it. ?"

Sylvia curled her lips and said: "I tried it, but the power is very poor. According to that fellow Jean Valjean, these weapons are no longer simple spiritual weapons. They already possess a certain amount of wisdom and can Identify who is their master, only their master can exert full power."

"Is their master?" Leo looked down at the king and queen, and then said to Sylvia: "The power is much greater than expected, but I haven't tried the limit of this pair of weapons, just ordinary shooting Just destroyed a small hill."

"Can it destroy a small hill? It's so powerful?" Sylvia didn't doubt Leo's words, with a shocked expression on her face.

At this time, the woman in black gauze who was watching the conversation between the two coughed lightly twice, obviously dissatisfied with the conversation between the two of them.

It was only then that Sylvia realized that she still had a companion beside her, and immediately smiled awkwardly, and then introduced to Leo: "This is my good friend Seran."

"Seran the Bather of Fire." Hearing this name and seeing the other party's special attire, Leo immediately thought of the few witches whose identities were disclosed in the information of the Witch Group.

Hearing Leo reveal his identity, Seran the Fire Bather froze for a moment, but soon thought of where Leo's information came from, and said, "You'd better not believe all the information on the black market, or you will suffer a lot. .”

Leo asked: "The information is unreliable, Milo burning the city, or the seven-day fire?"

Among the materials bought on the black market, the information about Seran the Bather of Fire is often accompanied by fires, huge casualties, and huge losses. Almost all of them are the process of destroying cities one by one, so Seran the Fire Bather also has city destroyers title.

Seran the Fire Bather said calmly: "Those things are all true. What I'm talking about is a narrative about my abilities."

"A little exaggerated, or shrunk?" Leo asked again.

Seran the Fire Bather didn't answer but just smiled.

"Okay, let's stop talking here, it's better to go inside," Sylvia interrupted the temptation of the two, then looked around, and said, "I always feel a little uncomfortable here, maybe Dan That woman Nisi is hiding in a tree and spying on us right now?"

Just as Sylvia's words fell, a branch above her head suddenly broke, fell soundlessly, and hit her head. Originally, with Sylvia's ability, it was not difficult to avoid the falling branch, or it was very simple for Leo to catch the branch before it hit her head, but such a simple thing They couldn't do it, because the surrounding environment not only made their reactions a bit sluggish, but also made the branch fall without any abnormal movement.

Sylvia touched the place where she was hit, raised her fist around, and didn't say any more curses. She and Seran the Fire Bather led the way and led Leo towards the real witch assembly place. go.

Leo, who was walking behind the two, looked at the surrounding trees with a serious expression on his face. Although it was just some small conflicts and frictions between the witches just now, it could already be seen that the internal atmosphere was not harmonious.

And this also shows that the forest demon's control over its forest is indeed as powerful as in the legend. If it is not a branch that falls, but other attacks, Leo is not sure that he can defend in advance. After all, his spiritual net is always shrouded in the forest. Surroundings, the supernormal perception is in a state of stimulation, but even so, the branch has not been detected in advance.
