The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although it was discovered that these bugs had something to do with Lake Town, it had no effect on the next itinerary. Leo and Silvia quickly put this matter behind them and stopped thinking about it.

Tessa Mocha quickly cleaned up all the bugs and eggs in the nest, and the three of them moved on.

In the next five or six days, the three of Leo did not encounter any monsters such as bugs in the ice cave, but there were not many accidents on the road, such as the road that was originally marked as passable. The passage was blocked, so they had to open another passage. In addition, some passages became extremely narrow, and there were huge cracks. It might be difficult for normal people to pass through.

However, these accidents were not a big problem for Leo and the others, and they were easily resolved without any delay.

These days, the only thing they have to do is hurry, and as they get familiar with the terrain environment, their speed is getting faster and faster. According to Leo's estimation, they should have walked more than half of the distance. You should be able to cross the ice bridge in a few days.

It's just that God didn't seem to be planning to let them pass the ice bridge smoothly, so they created an accident that they couldn't solve by tricks and stood in front of them.

"What should we do now?" Looking at the situation in front of me, Sylvia asked in a deep voice.

I saw that the ice cave passage in front of them was filled with a lot of gray fog, and not only this ice cave passage, through the spiritual network, Leo found that almost the entire section of the ice bridge and all the passages up and down had been covered by gray fog. occupied.

Because the spirit net couldn't penetrate the gray fog, Leo couldn't figure out what was going on inside the gray fog, let alone where the gray fog came from.

However, judging from the data map, there is a huge ice cave node not far ahead, and that ice cave is connected to almost all surrounding passages. Fog was able to pour in and fill the passage of the ice bridge.

Facing Sylvia's question, Leo turned his head to look at Tessa Mocha, and Tessa Mocha, who felt Leo's gaze, showed an ugly face, shook his head, and said that he had no choice.

In fact, when she saw the gray fog blocking the way just now, Tessa Mocha seemed very excited, because without the nutrients provided by the bugs, the mother tree seeds in her body seemed very sluggish, which directly affected her emotions, and now they appeared in her The recovery in front of her was naturally regarded as a big meal by her.

She can directly devour the gray mist to provide nutrients for the mother tree seeds in her body, and she did the same. After she had a thought, she turned into a vine, and through the tentacles of the vine, she wantonly absorbed the gray mist in front of her.

As a result, the gray mist did not significantly decrease, but she was overwhelmed again, and this time the situation was a little serious. When she felt something was wrong, her body had already swelled three or four times, and all the flesh on her body was spread out on the ground. There are some black patterns, which look very scary.

Leo made a timely move to clean up most of the gray mist accumulated in her body, and she just recovered.

However, Leo did not completely solve the gray mist power accumulated in Tessa Mocha's body like the previous cleanups. This time, she absorbed too much gray mist power, and it was transformed from bugs. The power of the formed gray mist was also different, so some of it stubbornly remained in her body, and it also turned into weird tattoos that surfaced on her skin.

After repeated inspections by Leo, he did not find out what kind of damage the remaining gray fog power would cause to Tessa Mocha's body. Now Tessa Mocha only needs to digest the gray fog power a little bit. These weird patterns It should disappear.

After this time, Tessa Mocha no longer dared to swallow or absorb the gray mist indiscriminately, so when Leo looked at her, she shook her head without thinking.

Leo didn't force Tessa Mocha to absorb the gray fog again, he walked to the edge of the gray fog, stretched out his hand to sweep in the gray fog, and said: "It seems that if you want these gray fog to disappear, you have to wait until the gap is closed. Seal it up again."

"How long will it take?" Sylvia frowned and asked.

"I don't know," Leo shook his head and said, "It may only take one night, or it may take many days."

"Are we just waiting here?" Sylvia's patience was worn out by the boring journey for several days, and she felt a little anxious when she learned that she might wait here for a few days.

Leo thought for a while and said, "I'll go in and check the situation. You stay here. If there's nothing wrong with the situation inside, we'll go through."

"Are you going in alone?" Sylvia frowned and said worriedly: "It's too dangerous to do this, let's go together..."

Before Sylvia finished speaking, Leo shook his head and said, "Don't forget, with the power I possess, these gray fogs can't possibly cause me any trouble, but you are different, you go in together It will only become my burden, but it will make me unable to let go."

Although Leo's words were a bit direct and harsh, they were still stating the facts, and Sylvia didn't say anything more.

As for Tessa Moka on the side, she is naturally happy to see such an arrangement. If she is really allowed to enter the gray fog, it may be difficult to play a role in whatever happens to her.

After making a decision, Leo placed the magic circle of the Beacon runes that he made based on the positioning method on the portal of the Warlock of the Demon Hunter World outside the gray fog to activate, and after sensing the direction of the Beacon, he took a step Walked into the gray mist.

At the moment when his whole body was plunged into gray mist, Leo felt that the beacon runes that he had sensed clearly before became blurred and moved around, like a bird that couldn't stop Same.

Leo knew very well that the movement of the beacon rune was just his own illusion, in fact, he should be the one who was actually moving. The gray fog is like a space wormhole, which will send people who enter here to an unknown place. A place, this place may be just a few steps away, or it may be another world, just like what happened to him now.

After Leo took another two steps into the gray fog, the gray fog in front of him became much lighter, but it did not disappear completely. As for the road sign runes, they also stopped moving, and Leo could still clearly sense where they were. At the same time, Leo also tried to check the power on his body, and found that except for the power of nightmare, the other powers were still normal, but the imprint of the world tree was a little sluggish, but there was nothing particularly wrong .

After checking his own situation, Leo looked around. Although due to the gray fog, both his sight and his mental network were affected, he can still be sure that he is absolutely not Inside the ice bridge, because the surrounding air is no longer as cold and humid as the ice bridge, it is warmer, like the climate in spring.

After walking forward for a certain distance, Leo smelled a large amount of rotten smell around him, and then saw a large number of corpses piled up on the ground. Most of these corpses were strange monsters, but some corpses were Some mechanical devices that look like robots.

These mechanical devices are all three to four meters high and round in shape. The whole looks like several iron balls merged together, which is a bit cumbersome. Its arms are not humanoid arms, but two like chainsaws. They carried a huge box on their backs, which should be their power device, and judging from the details of the device, this should be a miniaturized steam power device.

In addition, there is a line of words and patterns on the chest and shoulders of this set of steam mechs, but Leo can't see these words and patterns clearly with normal eyesight, because they are constantly twisting like caught earthworms in his eyes. It wasn't until he used his spiritual vision that he saw clearly with his real eyes that this line of words and patterns were the name of Third Lake Town and the badge of the border guards. It seemed that these people should be the troops stationed by Third Lake Town on the border. .

Leo quickly figured out the internal structure of this set of steam mecha through the spirit net, especially the miniaturized steam power structure, then he jumped on the steam mecha, reached out and found a hidden one under the right armpit. Metal rod, drag it out, flip it a bit.

According to Leo's analysis, this metal rod should be the spare opening device for the steam mecha cockpit.

As he expected, as he pulled the metal lever, the cockpit of the steam mecha under his feet made a slight vibration and the sound of mechanical operation. It seems that this spare opening device is not powered by steam, otherwise it would not be at all. Impossible to open.

With a clicking sound, the armor on the chest of the mecha bounced outwards, revealing the cockpit inside and the mecha pilot who had already died inside.

However, when he saw the driver who was almost a mummy, Leo was stunned, because this driver was very unusual.

The first thing that is unusual is that this pilot has no limbs. His limbs look like they have been severed at the root, but the fracture is connected to a few steel bars extending from the mecha, which looks as if the steel bars are growing on the pilot. In addition, whether it is the driver, the steel bars connected to the driver, or even the inside of the mecha cockpit, all kinds of complex runes are engraved.

Judging from the various characteristics of the runes, it is undoubtedly that this should come from the Wizards Association of Lake Town, but it is much more complicated than the rune magic circle that Leo secretly learned.

Through his amazing memory, Leo quickly memorized all the rune magic circles inside the mecha and on the driver without asking for understanding, and then he opened several other damaged steam mechas one by one to check them out. , the situation in each mech is similar.

This also made Leo feel a little puzzled, because in his memory, Hushang Town didn't seem to have such steam mechs, and they still relied on the fighting ability of soldiers and the huge war castle.

If there is such a weapon, then every lake town has already spread the word, and it is impossible to be full, so these steam mechs can only appear after he left the lake town, and it did not appear in a short time , It was officially installed after a long period of research and testing, coupled with testing, and the time interval for the backbone may be decades, or even hundreds of years.

Thinking that it was less than a year since I left Hushang Town, and many years have passed since Hushang Town, this kind of thing is undoubtedly enough to shock and surprise any ordinary person, but it did not cause much abnormal reaction to Leo. After all, he already knew that the flow of time in Lake Town and Velen World was different.

Obviously, the current battlefield should be a large-scale war between the people of Lake Town and the fog beasts long after he left Lake Town. As for who is the final winner, Leo is not very clear, but he is very clear. One thing, that is, the armed forces of Hushang Town have reached a very high level.

He had no doubt that if the people of Hushang Town found a way to go to the world of Velen at this time, then with the steam mecha armed force of Hushang Town, it would definitely be able to sweep any country in the world of Velen, unless the gods took action.

Surprised by the development of Hushang Town, Leo continued to walk forward. At this time, he saw more corpses of fog beasts and scrapped steam mechs, but there was no pure human corpse here. From this point of view, this This kind of steam mecha has become the most basic armed force in Hushang Town.

Just when Leo was surprised by the development of Lake Town, there was a sudden violent vibration on the ground, which felt like an earthquake.

What puzzled Leo was that he felt that there were two vibration sources on the ground, and these two vibration sources were still moving, and they were still moving towards him, so the vibration he felt became more and more intense. .

Leo stood where he was, without leaving, as if waiting for something.

After a while, he felt that the vibration intensity of the ground had reached the level enough to throw ordinary people out, and then saw the gray fog on both sides of the battlefield vibrate suddenly, and then receded twice as if the tide was ebbing.

Then a huge monster covered in black hair and composed of countless monster skeletons appeared on his right side, rushing out of the gray mist, while on the other side, a huge war castle with a height of 100 meters stood like a dozen giant pillars. Supported by his legs, he also rushed out.

The two behemoths collided on the battlefield not far in front of Leo, and the huge sound and air waves rolled over, like a hurricane, making Leo had to prop up a spiritual energy barrier to stabilize his figure .

After the impact, the monster's head frantically bit the armor of the war castle, its hair turned into countless black smoke and swept towards the war castle, looking for every inch of the gap that could be found, and then drilled in, attacking the interior of the war castle.

And the war castle with six pairs of huge arms was not to be outdone. The high-powered steam engine started to roar, and the huge chainsaw at the front of each arm also turned at a high speed, cutting towards the monster's body.
