The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the high mountain where the head of eternal wisdom was buried seemed far away, in fact, the three of them arrived at the foot of this high mountain after walking for less than an hour.

Before, Bailu showed Leo the image of this high mountain. At that time, the surface of this high mountain was covered with tall trees, but now all the trees have disappeared, and there is no land on the ground, because the mountains and plains The bones covered the entire ground, abruptly raising the ground by more than ten meters.

That's right, it's only a dozen meters away. Compared with the corpses I saw before, the corpses here can be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. When you look around, all you see are white bones. If you go in, you will also have the illusion of becoming a corpse.

Although these bones are not dangerous, the bones themselves contain an inexplicable aura. Even if Leo stood in front of this sea of ​​bones, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pressure in his body and mind. It also needs support to stand firm.

"What happened here?" Sylvia couldn't help muttering to herself after looking at the corpses all over the mountain.

However, her inquiry didn't need Leo's answer at all, because the answer appeared in front of her soon.

The cloud and mist wrapped around the mountainside in front suddenly shook, and then a huge black shadow came out from the middle, and hit the ground heavily, smashing the bones under him, and smashing a big hole in the ground .

Leo turned his head to look at Sylvia, then made a gesture, and walked towards the place where the black shadow fell. Sylvia and Seran followed closely.

Leo walked up to the smashed pothole and looked down, only to see the corpse of a 17-8 meter long giant beast lying in the pit. The fatal injury of the corpse was not caused by falling down. The injury originated from its head, as if its head had been cut off by some sharp weapon.

The blood flowed out from the corpse and flowed to the bottom of the pit, and those dense white bones seemed to contain some kind of force field, so they would not be sticky by the blood. All the blood quickly permeated along the gaps in the bones under the body, and soon disappeared.

"It wasn't an injury caused by a metal weapon." Sylvia looked at the wound, quickly made a judgment based on experience, and said with certainty.

"I think so too." Leo nodded, raised his head towards the mountainside shrouded in clouds and mist, and said, "It seems that there is a lot of trouble on the mountainside. If we want to go up, we have to be careful."

"Look at the corpse." Seran suddenly reminded the two of them.

The two turned their heads and looked over, and found that the blood in the body of the corpse in the pit seemed to have drained dry, while the flesh on the body seemed to be infected with some bacteria and quickly rotted. In less than ten seconds, only a pile of bones remained .

Seeing this situation, Leo directly cast a demon hunter seal to create a protective layer, then jumped down the pothole and walked towards the bones.

"Be careful." Sylvia didn't go down, but just reminded her with great concern.

Leo walked to the side of the corpse. Although the surrounding situation didn't seem to be anything wrong, after the scene he just saw, the normality itself was something wrong.

In addition, Leo also found that the bones in front of him were no longer just bones, but more like fossils that had undergone tens of millions of years of evolution. The same situation was also reflected in the surrounding bones.

Obviously, this mountain where the head of eternal wisdom is buried is very different from other places. Even if the creatures or monsters in other places die, their bones will maintain a normal rate of decay.

Just like in the witch's cemetery before, the surrounding corpses were frozen well, with flesh and blood remaining.

But here, all the corpses will completely decompose in a short period of time, and the bones will also become fossils. It seems that the moment they die, the flow of time on their bodies is adjusted tens of thousands of times faster, and a few minutes seem to have passed Like millions of years.

"Did you find anything?" Sylvia asked standing on it.

"Don't die." Leo replied simply.

It was just this answer that both Sylvia and Seran were baffled by.

Seeing the blank expressions of the two women, Leo told them what he had observed.

Although they were surprised that the corpses turned into fossils, they didn't worry too much. After all, everyone was dead, so it didn't matter what the bones turned into.

"What should we do next?" Sylvia watched Leo climb up and asked, then looked at the mountain surrounded by clouds and fog, and said, "Are we going to the top of the mountain?"

"It shouldn't be the top of the mountain. The white deer said it was inside the mountain." Leo frowned, carefully recalling what the white deer had said to him back then.

"Is it inside the mountain? Then we need to find the entrance." Sylvia frowned, looking at the boundless sea of ​​bones, she couldn't help but feel a little headache, and said: "If you follow the normal method, you want to go here It may be difficult to find the entrance to go deep into the mountain."

"It would be great if Denise was here. Her ability should be able to cope with this environment." Seran muttered regretfully at the side, and then showed a look of surprise, and said, "Do you feel the surrounding environment?" Circumstances seem to have had some... good influence on our powers."

Hearing Seran's reminder, Sylvia also sensed the power on her body. Although this kind of influence is not very obvious, it is certain that this kind of good influence exists, just like she usually exerts her own power. Innate power takes three seconds, but now it may only take more than two seconds.

Leo also heard Seran's words, but he didn't feel any good influence on the power in his body. On the contrary, several kinds of divine powers in his body were being suppressed.

However, there is a power in his body that is an exception, and the surrounding environment seems to be somewhat helpful to this power.

"What's the matter? Didn't you feel that influence?" Sylvia asked after seeing the serious expression on Leo's face.

"I feel it, but it's not a good thing." Leo shook his head and said, "It's the eyeball of the abyss snake."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia immediately thought of the source of the witch, and her face became serious, because this means that the power of the abyss in this area is very strong, and it also means that there must be a passage connecting to the abyss here. This is not good news for them.

Seran obviously didn't know anything about the witch's origin and other things. She looked at Leo and Sylvia who were a little puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

Sylvia and Leo glanced at each other, and Sylvia moved her mouth slightly, as if asking Leo if she should tell Seran. Although Sylvia didn't say anything, Leo could understand the meaning, so he nodded.

So, Sylvia, who received Leo's answer, told Seran about the abyss, about the witch, etc., and Seran's face turned pale.

Seran was completely dumbfounded. This made her feel even more unbelievable than hearing the content related to the head of a certain god who came here before. Although she didn't know what the abyss was, she instinctively felt that the abyss was definitely not a good place. A sense of repulsion naturally arises in my heart.

"Does this abyss have any bad influence on us?" Seran asked suddenly.

"It will become a monster." At this moment, a voice that was somewhat familiar to everyone present suddenly sounded, and immediately after that, they saw the king-chosen Saran and the forest banshee Denise not far away without a sound Appeared and walked over, and heard Saran say as he walked: "If you are too deeply affected by the abyss, the witch power in you will cause you to be irreparably mutated, and eventually become a person who has lost all reason. monster."

"Do you know about the abyss and the origin of our witches?" Sylvia asked in a deep voice when she saw Saran appearing, her expression became a little serious.

"Of course I know. In fact, the gatekeepers of all ages know these things." Saran admitted generously.

Sylvia was about to continue to question, but Seran was the first to speak: "You didn't tell us such an important matter?"

"Do you think your situation has changed in any way after telling you these things?" Saran asked rhetorically.

"But..." Facing the rhetorical question, Seran didn't know how to refute for a while, so he could only forcefully say, "But you also need to tell us, after all, this matter concerns our lives."

"Wrong, this matter is not related to your safety. In fact, witches rarely lose control of their power before they die." Saran, who had already walked up to the crowd, retorted one, and then seemed to sense As if seeing something, he looked at Seran and Sylvia respectively, and said, "But you two may be an exception."

"Exception?" Sylvia asked with some displeasure, "What do you mean by that?"

Saran said in a deep voice: "It means that you are the blood that was awakened by directly taking the magic spar."

"Is there a problem with this method of awakening the blood?" Leo frowned and asked with some concern.

Saran looked at Leo, and was not surprised that Leo would appear here. She turned her head to look at Sylvia, and said, "Not only is this method of bloodline awakening not problematic, but it is the most formal method." The method of awakening the witch's bloodline, your bloodline after awakening through this method will go farther than the witch who awakened the bloodline by other methods, and the power will increase faster."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Seran didn't understand another meaning in the other party's words, but said innocently.

Sylvia shook her head and said: "The faster our strength increases, the more difficult it is to control the enhanced strength, which means that our chances of becoming an out-of-control witch are much higher than other witches, just like the Same as Lilith, the Witch of Death."

"Yes, just like Lilith, the witch of death." Saran nodded to confirm Sylvia's speculation.

Leo on the side couldn't help but frowned when he heard their conversation, especially after hearing Lilith, the witch of death, he immediately recalled some related information in his mind.

Lilith, the Witch of Death, was a witch hundreds of years ago, and she can also be said to be the most famous witch in the world of Vinylon. She appears in various literature and dramas in the world of Vinylon, but she often plays an ugly, evil character in it. witch, witch.

It can be said that most of the bad reputation of the witch group is related to the death witch Lilith. She has done everything related to evil and madness in the world of Velen, and hundreds of thousands of people died directly or indirectly in her hands. It's time for a large-scale national war, so she also has the title of Death Witch.

The outside world described Lilith as evil by nature. Now it seems that this death witch seems to have become evil because of the influence of the abyss.

Seran couldn't help complaining: "Since the awakened bloodline of the magic spar is so dangerous, why have you never said it? If you did, why would we use the magic spar directly?"

"The reason why I don't say it is because no witch has ever directly used the magic spar like the two of you." Saran gave the other party an angry look and said, "Do you still remember the information you saw? Directly use the magic spar." The spar has a high chance of failing to awaken. Once it fails, it will take a long time to awaken again. However, if the magic spar is used to make potions, the chance of awakening is much higher, and there is no adverse effect. But after you got the magic spar, you took it directly, and the blood is still awakened, I don’t know if this is good luck for you? Or bad luck?”

Hearing Saran's words, the faces of Sylvia and Seran became much calmer. They both thought that in the situation at that time, if the two of them did not take the magic spar and relied on the awakened blood If they use their strength to resist that unknown influence and recover their mobility, they may have died in the blizzard now, so they don't regret awakening their bloodlines through that method, and if they do it again, they will even know that there will be hidden dangers , will also use this method to awaken the blood, because there is no retreat for them at that time.

"Is there any way to solve this hidden danger?" Leo, who was also concerned about this issue, asked for the two of them.

"Of course there is. After all, so many years have passed, and the future witches know that there will be such hidden dangers, how can they not want to solve it?" Saran gave an affirmative answer, but did not continue, but turned to look at Leo asked, "But before I talk about this question, I'm a little curious. Why did His Excellency Leo Dodd come here? Or what is there that attracts His Excellency?"

"What do you think?" Leo didn't answer directly.

Saran looked at the obvious pothole not far away, then looked up at the misty mountain, and said, "Your Excellency, don't you read the book Witch Mountain by the great adventurer Will Jackson, and think that this place is really Is there any secret of the gods hidden in it?"
