The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the castle is huge, it is still within the coverage of Leo's spiritual network.

This ancient castle was built according to the very traditional pass-style castle of the Maris Kingdom. The foundation is made of large stones, the superstructure is mostly wood and stone structures, and a large cellar is dug underground to store food and the like. of.

Leo's mental network didn't find anything worth noticing from the castle, nor did he find any abnormal energy fluctuations, everything seemed so normal.

After the investigation failed, Leo was not discouraged. After all, the horror legend about this ancient castle has been circulating for nearly a thousand years. During these thousand years, countless people have tried to unlock the hidden secrets of this ancient castle, but finally returned without success. He didn't think he could unlock the secrets of this millennium-old abandoned castle just by scanning the mental net.

Leo retracted the spirit net to the size of the camp, covered the entire caravan camp, and then leaned on the soft blanket, waiting for dawn.

The reason why he didn't completely retract the spirit net was because those legends mentioned that there would be people dreaming, and if the dreamer died in the dream, then the real person would also die. So when Leo's spiritual network covered the entire caravan camp, it also monitored the vital signs of everyone in the camp. Once someone's vital signs were abnormal, he would be able to know immediately.

Time passed quickly, and a burst of cold mountain rain woke everyone up from their sleep.

Everyone came out of the tent one after another, washed up briefly, and then started to get busy.

In order to prevent the accumulated water on the ground from affecting the inside of the tent, they rearranged all the pack carts according to a certain position, erected strong wooden boards between the pack carts, and moved all the tents to the wooden boards.

Then, they cleared out an open space, erected a big tent with a ventilated top, lit a bonfire inside the big tent, and set it up as a public activity area.

After the tent was set up, the servants in the caravan began to prepare food, while others were idle. Some took out some chess and card games to play in the big tent, and some returned to their tents to continue to rest. , but there are still some young people who are unwilling to miss the good opportunity to explore this mysterious castle, and they run to this castle with horror legends for adventure.

Leo got up very early. He didn't start a big adventure in the castle like those curious young people in the caravan. Instead, he left the caravan alone, walked out of the castle, and came to the dry place outside the castle. Inside the Pepper Forest, carefully examine the tree growth and forest environment.

In Leo's view, compared to the illusory legends in the castle, the forest outside the castle is the most striking abnormal thing, and since this thing appears here, it must have something to do with the horror legends in the castle associated.

Now that Leo can't find any clues from the castle through the spiritual network, he might as well find another way to see if he can find some useful information from the surrounding forest.

Because the climate here is humid, and the cold air on the snow-capped mountains will fall together with the melted snow all year round, the climate here is not like the dry and hot climate of Savile Kingdom, but more like Dalia Especially the cold and humid climate.

Because of the special species of cypress, it can grow not only in the tropics, but also in the cold zone, but other plants do not have such characteristics. Most Savile plants cannot grow here, and even if they can grow, they will not grow large. .

A large number of low shrubs and weeds grow underneath, and the roots and stumps of cypress trees are covered by moss that likes cold and humid climates. The rotting plants accumulated for thousands of years have made the ground in the forest soft and crumbling. Yes, a little fuzzy.

Although the forest is very large, there are not many types of plants, so there are not many types of animals that grow here. An omnivore called wrinkled mouse is the largest biological group in this forest, but this forest occupies The absolute dominance is a group of pythons that have not been recorded by the medical school.

When the caravan passed through the forest in the early morning, the eyes that stared at the caravan hidden in the dark of the forest came from these pythons.

It is a bit strange that these pythons would thrive in this piece of dry bark cypress, because snakes, as cold-blooded animals, are really not suitable for the cold and humid environment of this forest. The only explanation that can be given is that these pythons are probably all mutants.

The appearance of these pythons is no different from that of common forest pythons, except that they are bigger than forest pythons. The smallest of them is more than 20 meters long, while the largest one is more than 50 meters long, which can be called a colossus.

However, the well-informed Leo has seen monsters bigger than these pythons, so he is not interested in the huge shapes of these pythons. What he is interested in is the power and mutated ability that cause these pythons to mutate.

Whether the huge body of these pythons is part of the mutation, Leo is not clear yet, but he is very clear that the eyes of these pythons have definitely mutated.

Because when he entered the forest, these boa constrictors did not identify his location by probing the temperature like other snakes, but observed movements through their eyes like most wild animals.

These giant pythons entangled their bodies with the trunk of the cypress tree, and entangled in the air. The moment Leo walked into the forest, pairs of cold snake eyes stared at Leo. Moving and moving, they all regarded Leo as a prey that could have a good meal.

Leo didn't plan to take any measures in advance, nor did he think about intimidating the giant python through other methods. On the contrary, he really hoped that the giant python could attack him, because in this way, he might be able to get some help from the noisy forest. More useful information, instead of always feeling that this forest is no different from ordinary forests like now.

As Leo entered the depths of the forest, more and more giant pythons gathered on top of Leo's head. Roughly, there were about twenty more.

These giant pythons seem to be unable to endure a delicious prey walking back and forth without hesitation below them. One of the giant pythons with a length of more than 30 meters was the first to attack, and quickly swam to the top of Leo's path. , counting the timing, directly lowered the huge snake's head, opened its mouth wide, and rushed towards the top of Leo's head.

Although the giant python's movements are big, the noise it makes is very small, and ordinary people can't avoid it at all, and will be directly swallowed by the grown-up Shekou.

However, Leo was always paying attention to the movement of these giant pythons. When the giant python attacked, he was already ready to deal with it, and the twins in his hands turned into cross swords.

When the snake's head was about to fall to the top of his head, his figure moved a few steps quickly, avoiding the swallowing of the snake's mouth lightly, and swung the cross sword in his hand, a huge snake's head fell from the snake's body, entwined The python's body on the tree trunk also slowly loosened, and fell down from the tree trunk under the action of gravity.

The death of a giant python did not arouse the vigilance of these giant pythons, nor did it have any intimidating effect on them. Instead, they were aroused by the blood scattered in the forest below, and they swam down from the top of the tree along the trunk. Attack towards Leo.

Facing the siege of the giant python, Leo looked at ease, his steps moved as if he was taking a walk. Although the movements were not fast, the position after moving was often just enough to avoid the surrounding attacks, and the long cross sword in his hand also Swing out while moving,

To Leo, the twenty or so giant pythons were nothing more than twenty times of avoidance and more than twenty times of sword swings. In less than three minutes, these giant pythons were all decapitated and fell into a pool of blood middle.

Although these giant pythons that were spying on him were solved, the purpose of Leo's trip was not achieved. In his opinion, these giant pythons were larger and more powerful than ordinary beasts, and they were no different from wild beasts in other places. It has nothing to do with spiritual creatures, and the noise they make will not have any impact on the forest.

Disappointed, Leo was about to search for the mystery of the forest's growth from other places, when he suddenly stopped and looked upwards, only to see a huge boa constrictor head about the size of a pack cart slowly falling from the sky , stopped not far from Leo, staring at Leo with cold snake eyes.

"It's appeared!" Seeing this giant python, Leo not only didn't show any fear, but smiled instead.

When Leo discovered this giant python with a length of more than 50 meters through the spiritual net just now, he didn't find any energy fluctuations on the giant python, thinking that it was just an ordinary beast with a huge body, but now this giant python moved to When he was in front of him, he had already felt the energy fluctuations on the giant python, as well as some resonance reactions caused by this energy fluctuations.

The first reaction was the resonance of the entire forest, and now Leo has understood that the entire forest is not without abnormal energy, but that these energies are extremely scattered and dispersed to every twig cypress in the forest. Appears very faint.

But now, because of the energy surging from the giant python, the energy contained in every quail cypress in the forest is also activated together, producing a resonance effect. At this time, the energy fluctuations Leo feels are no worse than that of his sixth-level spirit. The difference between those who are capable is more.

It has to be said that the plants in the entire forest already have the shadow of a symbiotic organism.

However, what made Leo smile was not being fluctuated by the energy of the forest, but the reaction caused by this energy resonance on him, or more correctly, the reaction of the eyeballs of the abyss snake.

"The power of the abyss!" When Leo felt the resonant reaction from the eyeballs of the abyss snake, an answer immediately appeared in his mind.

Then I saw him let go of the suppression of the eyeballs of the abyss snake, allowing the power of the abyss to radiate from his body.

However, at the moment when the power of the abyss radiated from him, the giant python in front of him showed a startled expression, and then a frenzied and greedy look appeared in his eyes, and he opened his mouth wide to devour Leo.

Although the boa constrictor is huge, its attack speed is not faster than that of the boa constrictor at all, and Leo did not expect that after he showed the power of the abyss, the boa constrictor would attack suddenly, and he was caught off guard, even in time After reacting, he made an evasive movement, but he was still hit by the body of the giant python, and his whole body was thrown into the air. He didn't stabilize his figure until he hit a tree.

Although such an impact was nothing to Leo, it still made him look a bit embarrassed.

"Damn, why did I forget!" Leo, who felt a slight pain in his body, quickly understood what was going on, and couldn't help but curse.

At this time, Leo remembered that the creatures of the abyss are no different from ordinary beasts or spiritual creatures. The creatures of the abyss all eat each other and evolve themselves as their life instincts. Far surpassing other abyssal creatures.

Originally, the giant python just regarded Leo as a foreign creature that was difficult to deal with, and considered whether to attack Leo, but Leo released the power of the abyss snake's eyeballs, no doubt saying to the giant python, come on! eat me! I am a big meal.

How could he be polite when he saw this delicious giant python delivered to his door, and he was cleaning it up if he spoke directly.

Although things were unexpected, Leo didn't feel troubled by it, perhaps because he was affected by the eyes of the abyss snake. In his eyes, this giant python with the power of the abyss was also a big meal.

At this time, the giant python that missed a hit quickly turned its head around and charged towards Leo again, but this time Leo was prepared, and with all his strength, the speed and sensitivity of his movements far surpassed that of the giant python. , easily dodged the giant python's attack, and just like dealing with other pythons, the cross sword in his hand also slashed towards the giant python's neck.

However, something surprising happened. The long cross sword that he thought could cut through everything was unable to cut through the body of the giant python. After the long sword cut into it for a certain distance, it was stopped by an invisible force. As for the wound caused by the long sword, it can only be regarded as a little skin break for this giant python.

At this moment, the giant python turned its head around again and rushed towards Leo. Leo quickly drew his sword to avoid the attack of the snake's head again. At the same time, he was going to continue to attack the wound, although a sword could not cut off the giant python's body, But it would be a matter of time before the snake was hacked repeatedly along the wound.

But when he rushed over and slashed with his sword, a sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart. He immediately reacted instinctively and quickly dodged to the side. Then he saw a puddle of corrosive water. The slime fell from the air and landed right where he was standing just now.

"Even the plants are under control?" Leo quickly discovered that the fruit that shot out the mucus was the fruit formed on the bark cypress. Leo, and there is more than one such fruit, the entire top of the tree is covered with this kind of fruit.

At this time, the giant python also turned its head to stare at Leo, as if looking at a prey that had fallen into a snare, and one could even see a contemptuous smile on its snake mouth.
