The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just when Mister and Randall were puzzled, a group of ancient tower beasts as huge as a house rushed out from the snowstorm in the north, with their six legs supporting their heavy bodies, they moved forward quickly. running.

At this time, Mist and Randall realized that their current position was just on the only way for the herd of ancient tower beasts, but it was too late for them to escape now, so they could only hug each other and hide behind them. In the falling snow pit, they prayed to the Lord of the Sky whom they had not believed in for a long time.

I don't know if it was their pure luck, or their prayers played a role. The feet of the ancient tower beasts running in a hurry were all around them, and some of them even stepped on the snow pit they dug. , was so close to them that they were so tense that their bodies stiffened as if they had turned into wood.

As the heavy footsteps of the herd of ancient towers changed from rumbling like thunder to scattered and chaotic footsteps, and the vibration of the ground gradually eased, both Mist and Randall felt that the matter was over, and they were lucky Not trampled to a pulp by the herd.

But at this time, a Guta beast that was left behind rushed straight towards them. Judging from the direction and size of its steps, it was likely to step on them.

Seeing this situation, Mister and Randall hurriedly wanted to climb out of the snow pit and hide to the side to avoid the huge ancient tower beast, but when the ancient tower beast trampled the snow hard before, It also became slippery, and they fell to the ground after only two steps. They couldn't even get up, and could only watch the giant beast rush towards them.

However, just when Mister and Randall thought they were really finished this time, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the sky, and then they saw the ancient tower beast that was running at a high speed a moment ago fall heavily to the ground, heavy After its body slid forward for a certain distance along the inertia, it stopped right in front of the two of them, and the huge head of the Guta Beast was aimed right at the two of them.

At this moment, the two of them saw clearly what caused the fast-running Guta beast to die suddenly. When it fell to the ground, a spear that looked like a branch was inserted into the back of the Guta beast's head. The seemingly crude spear actually penetrated the skin and skull of the ancient tower beast that even the steam engine crossbow might not be able to penetrate, and directly inserted into the brain of the ancient tower beast, causing it to die instantly.

In their memory, people in the northern tribes mentioned that the northern tribes used to hunt ancient tower beasts with spears a long time ago, but every time they hunted, the tribe would suffer a large number of casualties, and those who survived People will be regarded as tribal warriors and respected.

However, with the advent of the steam crossbow, hunting the ancient tower beasts has become much easier. The people of the tribe do not need to risk the danger to get close to the ancient tower beasts. They only need to aim at a distance and then pull the trigger of the crossbow. , and therefore the Gutamon, which has the largest number in the northern ice sheet biosphere, is also rare during the day.

If the leader of the northern tribes hadn't realized that the ancient tower beasts would be in danger of extinction, and proposed to set up the rules for hunting ancient tower beasts, so that the ancient tower beasts would have enough time to reproduce, maybe the ancient tower beasts would no longer be seen in the northern ice sheet figure.

"This is a tribal warrior who hunts according to the ancient law!" After seeing the spear, both Mist and Randall couldn't help but have a vague figure of a tribal warrior in their minds.

In such a non-hunting season, only the northern tribes who follow the ancient law and hunt with spears do not have to follow the hunting regulations formulated by the various northern tribes, and if they can successfully hunt the ancient tower beast, this person will be the same as the ancient tribes He is regarded as a warrior by the current tribe, so many young people in the northern tribe would like to try to become a warrior.

However, while making guesses, they also felt that their guesses might be wrong, because the power of this spear is too great. If it was really done by a certain tribe, then this person was in the north The Horde should have made a name for itself long ago.

Just when the two were surprised by the death of the Guta Beast, a sled-like object rushed out of the wind and snow in the distance, and what puzzled them was that what they saw was just a sled and nothing No pack animals were seen pulling the sled ahead.

The sled, which was not pulled by any pack animals, rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed, and quickly rushed in front of them, then slid on the snow in an arc and stopped firmly on them and the corpse of the ancient tower beast. in front of.

Only then did the two of them see the person on the sled clearly, and the first thing they saw was a black beauty standing on the sled with obvious features of the Mozambique continent. Her figure was strong and vigorous, even in such a severe cold She didn't wear a lot of warm clothes in such an environment, and the most obvious thing was that she held a few spear-like branches in her hand, which seemed to be the spear thrown by this woman to kill the ancient tower beast.

The other person who caught their attention was the tall man on the sled driver's seat. Although this man's appearance was not outstanding, there were quite a few tall men like him in Flan, but this man had a certain He has a very special temperament and momentum, and people can't help but have an urge to bow their heads and surrender after seeing him.

"Mister, Randall, why are you here?" At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came out from the seat frame of the sled, and then they saw a woman wearing animal skins to keep out the cold Stand up from the sitting frame.

"Miss Sylvia?" After seeing the woman in front of them clearly, both Mist and Randall were stunned, and then couldn't help crying.

When they thought they were about to die, they met an acquaintance and saw the hope of life again. Most people would lose control of their emotions, and Mist and Randall were no exception.

Perhaps sensing something was wrong with the situation of the two of them, Sylvia didn't ask any further questions, and motioned to Leo, and Leo took out a simple tent to block the wind with the huge body of the ancient tower beast. I set up the tent, took out the firewood I prepared when I left Minsk, lit a bonfire, put some snow in an iron can, and lost a little water.

Tessa Moka on the side was not idle either. She walked to the head of the Guta Beast, pulled out the spear that she transformed into with her body, and then took out a knife to cut off the most tender meat from the Guta Beast. , I found a bracket and put it on the fire for barbecue.

With a tent sheltered from the wind, a bonfire, and hot water and food being burned, Mister and Randall, who were out of control, also calmed down. Sylvia arranged the two to sit by the fire, He took off his frozen clothes and put on a warmer animal skin. At the same time, he explained his relationship with these two to Leo.

It turned out that when Sylvia was in Miria City, she participated in a biological research on the Black Forest as a member of the Heterogenetic Society, and Mist and Randall were one of her subordinates assigned by the research organization. .

They cooperated very well at the beginning, especially Mist and Randall's in-depth research on the Black Forest, not only allowed Sylvia to successfully complete the task of the Hearing Society, but also let her complete another task incidentally, so When the research subject was disbanded, she invited the two of them, and wanted them to join the Odd Story Society.

However, when Mister and Randall learned about Sylvia's other identity, they thought that Sylvia invited them to join some kind of spy organization, so they didn't agree, and they didn't contact Sylvia again. However, things are unpredictable, and they never expected that they would meet Sylvia again under such circumstances.

After introducing the situation of the two to Leo, Sylvia turned around and asked why Mist and Randall appeared here.

Mister and Randall drank the hot water and ate the roasted dry food. You and I told them what happened to them. I don’t know if it’s because of the surrounding environment. The reason for this is because they have seen some of Sylvia's abilities that go against ordinary people when working with Sylvia before, and they didn't hide the mutations in themselves, and they directly said it.

After hearing what the two said, Sylvia also fell silent. She did not expect that so many things would happen in the Velen Continent during the time she left the Velen Continent. The adverse effects caused by the world mutation are not only much greater, but also much more. Imagining that all the people in Miria City have turned into monsters, she can't help feeling her scalp tingling, because according to her memory, Miria City is at least There are tens of thousands of survivors.

However, from Mister and Randall, she learned that the United Kingdom is not bad, and that the Dibia Mountains blocked the monster's path, making it impossible for the monster to go south, which made her heave a sigh of relief.

On the side, when Leo heard about the people who were affected by the changes in the world and turned into monsters in Miria City, they did not choose to go south, but went north to the Black Forest Swamp, and the God of the Eagle in the Dibia Mountains appeared in his mind. , although the Eagle God has only one wreckage left, he still contains the aura of higher life forms. The aura of these superiors is enough to make those mutants who have completely lost their senses feel fear instinctively. The instinctive choice makes They travel in directions that feel less dangerous.

"How did you think of researching the secrets of the royal family of Farland?" Sylvia looked at the two with some puzzlement, and said, "Didn't you want to get involved in the battle of the royal family at the beginning? You are now studying the secrets of the royal family of Faran." It violates your original principles of doing things."

Mister and Randall showed embarrassing expressions, because they used this excuse when they rejected Sylvia's invitation.

But after the embarrassment, they still said truthfully: "Our research on the secrets of the French royal family is not only for interest, but also for life. There are not many jobs in the Hanosian Union that can allow scholars to live a stable life, especially our single research direction. There will be no practical effect in a short time, and if we don’t join this research, we may not even be able to eat.”

Sylvia was not teasing the two of them, but instead asked, "Have you researched anything useful?"

Mister shook his head and said: "Not too many, I just know that it has something to do with the White Deer Tribe in the past in the north. We happened to know a site of the White Deer Tribe. After we settled down, we wanted to visit it. As a result... It has become what it is now.”

"Is it the ruins of the White Deer Tribe?" Sylvia showed an interested look, turned to Leo and asked, "Let's go and have a look later."

"Alright, it won't take long anyway." Leo nodded in agreement with Sylvia's proposal.

"What about you? What are you going to do?" Sylvia turned to the two of them again and asked, "How about sending you back to the settlement you established?"

When Mist and Randall heard Sylvia's proposal to go to the ruins of the White Deer Tribe, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and quickly exchanged opinions. After hearing Sylvia's question about them, they didn't hesitate He rejected the proposal to go back to the settlement, but hoped that Sylvia would take them to the White Deer tribe ruins.

After hearing their request, Sylvia looked at Leo, and seeing that Leo had no objection, she agreed.

After that, a few people ate something, and after Mist and Randall recovered almost, they removed the tent.

Because Tessa Mocha knew the situation of Mist and Randall, she didn't shy away from them. Directly in front of them, she turned a hand into a vine and inserted it into the Guta Beast's body, devouring the Guta. The flesh and blood of beasts.

Although Mister and Randall have seen many monsters, this is the first time they have seen Tessa Mocha. They only saw the huge ancient tower beast in Tessa Mocha's hands, It shriveled quickly, and in less than a moment, only a layer of skin, internal organs and bones remained, and all the flesh and blood on the body disappeared.

Although Tessa Mocha's actions did not have a bad effect on them, nor did they hurt them, but the scene they saw was so horrifying that they subconsciously compared each other with what they had heard about the Mozambique continent. The rumors of the primitive tribes were linked together, and Tessa Mocha's eyes were filled with fear.

The expressions of the two were so obvious that Tessa Mocha could see it clearly. She didn't intend to explain anything, but checked her body carefully to feel the changes in her body.

"How is the situation?" Leo asked Tessa Moka, "Do you still need to feed with flesh and blood?"

"No need!" Tessa Moka shook her head and said, "It is enough to devour four ancient tower beasts!"

On the way, Tessa Moka suddenly felt that the World Tree seeds in her body needed to devour some flesh and blood to meet some specific conditions for growth. If it was in the wasteland of the Mosang Continent, there would naturally be tribes offering sacrifices to satisfy the growth of the seeds The request, now she must do it herself.

Leo already had the imprint of the World Tree in his body, so he could naturally feel the condition of the seeds in Tessa Moka's body, so he offered to help and started tracking the herd of Guta beasts, hunting all the way to the Northland area near the west side .
