The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

I saw that from the direction of that powerful energy fluctuation, a sandstorm covering the sky and the sun was advancing rapidly towards this side.

Leo can feel that this sandstorm is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The sandstorm is mixed with a large amount of energy turbulence. If it is just ordinary people, it will be fine. These energy turbulence will not cause any abnormalities, but for the opponent For people whose surrounding energy changes are particularly bright and dark, this energy turbulence will undoubtedly have a great impact on them, and even affect the strength of their own bodies.

When Leo was on the battlefield, he had seen it more than once. The turbulent energy flow of the psykers caused their own psychic energy to backlash, and then bloomed in the void of the universe like fireworks.

Although the energy turbulence contained in the sandstorm in front of him is much weaker than the energy turbulence in the universe, Leo does not know that he has never experienced systematic learning, and he does not understand the various protection methods that psychics should have. Whether it can withstand the invasion and influence of the energy turbulence in the sandstorm.

Faced with this situation, Leo could only use the spiritual shock again to open the entrance of the underground building that was not completely buried by the floating sand, and retreated back to the underground building to quietly wait for the sandstorm to pass.

Soon the floating sand filled the entrance again, and the underground building returned to the dark and dreary environment before.

Leo thought that the floating sand was not very solid and might be swept away by the sandstorm, so he moved to a position further inside the building.

It didn't take long for the surroundings to become quiet for an instant, and then there were bursts of sounds like drumming coming in from outside, and accompanied by turbulent waves of energy, the floating sand that penetrated the ground poured in.

At this moment, Leo was completely unable to use the spiritual net and any spiritual skills, and could only rely on his own supernatural perception to determine the outside situation.

Fortunately, the bad situation that Leo was worried about did not appear. Although the energy turbulence outside was very strong, the sandstorm caused by the turbulence was not very strong. It only swept away some floating sand on the top of the ground, and it was not as strong as him. As feared, all the floating sand will be swept away, so he is safe in the buried underground room, provided that he does not use psionic or any supernatural power.

However, it is obvious that God seems to think that Leo's way of dealing with this natural disaster is too easy, so he intentionally caused some trouble for him.

A rustling sound came from the floating sand that blocked the damage and the doors and windows in the room at this time, and then Leo found some sand scorpions drilled out of the surrounding sand and ran into the room through his supernatural perception. , depending on the situation, they should also plan to escape the sandstorm outside here.

Almost no special careful identification was needed, Leo had already recognized these sand scorpions as the flame sand scorpions specially produced in the Kingdom of Savile.

This kind of sand scorpion is the most famous and highly poisonous sand scorpion in the Savile Kingdom, and it is also recognized as the deadliest poisonous insect in the world of Velen.

The Fire Sand Scorpion usually hides in the sand. When a prey walks over the sand where it hides, the long tail spines of the Sand Scorpion will drill out and penetrate into the skin of the prey, even if the prey is wearing thick leather boots , can't stop the sharp tail thorn

After being stung by this kind of sand scorpion, the wound will burn like a fire, and the pain will quickly spread to the whole body, and the injured person will die in just a few minutes, and the skin of the injured person's body will quickly recover after death. Forms moss that looks like coke.

Every year in Savile Kingdom, more than 4,000 people die from this kind of sand scorpion attack. Fortunately, there are not many deserts suitable for this kind of sand scorpion to live in. There are not many deserts in Savile Kingdom, so unless you live in that desert Otherwise, just be careful to avoid those few deserts.

But now, Leo cannot avoid these sand scorpions.

If there is no influence of energy turbulence, Leo can easily destroy these highly poisonous sand scorpions with just a psychic shock, but now that he cannot use psychic energy and other extraordinary powers, he can only use other methods, For example, release your own breath of life.

The breath of life of level six psykers far exceeds the life level of those sand scorpions, and the suppression effect from the life level inevitably appears on these sand scorpions. Without exception, they all lie on the ground and dare not have any any movement. Even the other sand scorpions that hadn't had time to enter the house stopped drilling into the buried underground house.

Just like that, a sand scorpion crisis was eliminated invisible by the breath of life of Leo's sixth-level psyker.

The sandstorm outside didn't last too long. About ten minutes later, Leo felt the chaotic energy fluctuations in the air were rapidly weakening, and disappeared without a trace after ten seconds. Dust storms have also moved past this area.

Seeing this situation, Leo walked towards the door, and the sand scorpion in front of him also quickly avoided when Leo approached, giving way to a path.

Then Leo used spiritual impact to push away the floating sand at the entrance again, but this time, after the floating sand was washed away, there was no floating sand backflow at the exit that was washed away. Obviously, the previous sandstorm had already reduced the flow of the most fluid. The strongest and lightest floating sand was blown away.

Leo returned to the ground and looked around. The first thing he saw was the sandstorm that was going away on one side. It could be seen that the sandstorm did not weaken, but seemed to intensify, and then his sight fell again. On the decoration of the roof of a building emerging from the sand not far away.

"Kalitu?" Leo quickly recognized the origin of the decoration, then couldn't help but look at the flame sand scorpions in the room behind him, and frowned, "Why did I come to the Guga Desert?"

The roof decoration that Leo saw was a common decoration on the top of the relic buildings in the Guga Desert. According to the analysis of archaeologists from various countries, this bird-shaped relief decoration should be a kind of primitive belief of the local people in the Guja Desert. A mythical beast, said to be able to absorb heat and flames around it.

Therefore, the local people made it into a statue and put it on the roof. One is to avoid the heat, and the other is for fire prevention. Faith was abolished, and it was allowed to spread among the tribes in the Guga Desert.

This kind of traditional belief decoration can be seen everywhere in the ruins of the Guga Desert, but it stopped abruptly after leaving the Guga Desert, so some people who retain this original belief in the Guga Desert call themselves the Guga Civilization descendants.

In Leo's memory, the Guga Desert is on the east coast of the Minsk Continent, while Pender Harbor is on the west coast, which means he spans the entire Minsk Continent.

Leo was also a little surprised by this, but thought that the Aishali Forest might be a certain subspace zone, and in the subspace, time and distance cannot be inferred by common sense, so he felt that it was not right for him to move such a long distance. something incomprehensible.

However, he is also glad that he was not sent deeper underground by the Aishali Forest, otherwise, without any space, what awaits him will only be crushed to death by the surrounding land.

Leo looked around for a while, hoping to find an obvious landmark to confirm his position, but unfortunately he didn't find any useful landmarks other than knowing that this was the ruins of the Guga Desert.

As for the Guga relics, although not many have been excavated, most of them are located on the edge of the Guga Desert. Most of those relics have been completely excavated, and the important things have been collected by the Savile Kingdom or the Bishop of the Birth and Death of All Things. After leaving, the remaining relic buildings have become local tourism resources.

Judging from the surrounding ruins buried deep in the floating sand, it is obvious that this is not any Guga ruins discovered and excavated by the Savile Kingdom, so this is probably a ruin located in the middle of the Guga Desert. .

The area of ​​the Guga Desert is very large, and its area is already the largest desert in the Savile Kingdom. If other deserts that extend from it are counted, the Guja Desert occupies nearly two-thirds of the area of ​​the Savile Kingdom. Even the only desert area in the Northern Ice and Snow Kingdom Daliat is just an extension of the edge of the Guga Desert.

It is precisely because of the huge area of ​​the Guga Desert that many people stray into the depths of the Guga Desert every year, and not many people can finally come out successfully.

Ever since he knew the ruins of Guga, Leo has collected some books about the Guga Desert, most of which are archaeological books, but among the archaeological books, they are also placed in some bookstores, which are related to the Guga Desert. Adventure biographical novel.

Most of these adventure biographical novels are written by survivors of the Guga Desert, and most of them describe how unsuitable for human beings to live in the depths of the Guga Desert, and emphasize that they can or come out entirely on their own. Willpower, and the protection of the gods, etc., aside from these useless content, almost all survivors will emphasize two main points for getting out of the depths of the Guga Desert.

The first point is that the sun is untrustworthy. In the Gujar Desert, do not judge the direction based on information such as the sun and shadows, because the Gujar Desert contains a mysterious power that will distort the light and shadow, making people make the most wrong judgments, and the final result is It is impossible to walk out of the Guga Desert in a lifetime.

The second point is to follow the light. After nightfall in the Guga Desert, the moonlight shines on the Guga Desert, and strips of light will appear from time to time over the desert. As long as you follow the moving direction of the light belts, you can walk out of the Guga Desert.

However, the problem is that the time and place where these light belts appear are uncertain, not everyone is lucky enough to be able to see them, and not everyone can be continuously guided after seeing them, and finally walk out of the Guga Desert .

Before coming to the Guga Desert, Leo didn't know what the two key points of getting out of the Guga Desert were, but now Leo knew that the reason for all this might be the weak energy field shrouded in the desert. related.

These weak energy fields are also unstable and chaotic energy fields, which will have a certain impact on Leo's spiritual energy. For example, under the influence of it, the spiritual net will not be able to accurately scan the surrounding objects.

In addition, the psychic power he cast would be affected and distorted by the energy field. For example, he tried to use the flying psychic power just now, trying to fly himself into the air to see if he could see the situation in the distance and find something useful. But the result is that the energy field can only be attached to the feet. Once it spreads out to form an anti-gravity field, it will be disturbed, and the gravity effect will become random, that is, he will sometimes float up lightly, and sometimes sink into the sand so heavy .

Although the psychic power was affected and the surrounding situation was not very clear, Leo did not plan to wait here until night, trying his luck to wait for the light belt mentioned by the survivors to appear.

Because he can perceive the direction of the field effect of the energy field in the air through the spiritual network, in his opinion, the light band is probably the light and shadow effect produced by other energy hitting the energy field, and the direction of the field effect should be the direction guided by the light band, so he Decided to go straight down the field effect direction.

However, before going on the road, Leo still needs to prepare some things. He returned to the buried underground building, quickly caught some fat flame sand scorpions, pulled out the stingers of the sand scorpions, and put them away. Well, serve as food.

Although Leo stored a little food in the storage space, the amount was not much. He didn't know how long he would have to walk in the desert, and would he get lost, so unless he couldn't find anything to eat, he wouldn't take it out food.

For ordinary people, walking in the desert during the day is definitely fatal, but for Leo, there is no difference between the desert under the scorching sun and the shady forest. He can easily adjust the temperature of his body and isolate himself from the heat of the outside world. In addition, the spiritual power attached to the soles of the feet can also make him walk on the sand as if he were walking on solid ground.

Leo didn't know how long he had been walking, but the sky began to gradually darken, and the temperature also dropped rapidly. It dropped to freezing point less than ten minutes after the sun disappeared completely. Obviously, this sudden drop in temperature should be related to related to the energy field covering the entire Guga Desert,

At this time, the moonlight fell on the Guga Desert, and a band of light appeared in the sky. The direction pointed out by the band of light from its appearance to its disappearance was, as Leo expected, the direction of the energy effect field.

The moment the light band appeared, Leo stopped in his tracks, looked up in surprise at the moon in the sky that should be the Viahan brood warship.

The reason why he behaved like this was because he felt that the moonlight cast on the Guga Desert by the moon was not just moonlight, but also a beam of energy, as if the moon was sending energy to a certain place in the Guga Desert.

"Could it be that there are Via people's warships that can operate in the Guga Desert?" After sensing the energy field in the air, Leo immediately had a guess in his mind, and his emotions became a little excited.

As we all know, the core brood battleship of the Weiyaren fleet is not just an artificial planet for the Weiyaren to live in. This battleship also shoulders the heavy responsibility of providing additional energy supplements for other warships in the fleet, and the way to replenish energy is this relatively The original and relatively stable energy beam.
