The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After Leo inquired about the address of the black market from Mourning, he left the villa with Tessa Moka and returned to the mountainous forest of Rum Peak by the same route.

The moment she entered the forest, Tessa Mocha entered a special state, which allowed her to merge with the entire forest. Although Leo could see her, the spirit net could not perceive her. , in the perception of the spirit network, she is just an ordinary tree, and even the spirit network can scan all the characteristics that a tree should have.

Although Leo was very curious about how Tessa Mocha exerted his extraordinary power in this state, in order to influence the opponent's spellcasting, Leo endured his curiosity and quietly waited for Tessa Mocha to get information from the forest.

Soon Tessa Mocha obtained enough information from the plants in the forest, and at the same time returned to normal.

"I don't know the specific unknown forest where the corpse is. The avalanche damage is too serious, and it has also affected the forest itself." Tessa Moka gave a not-so-good answer, and then continued: "However, the accident happened to those people I already know the location, we can go to the accident site to see, maybe we can find some useful clues."

Hearing this, Leo agreed to Tessa Moka's proposal, and the two rushed towards the disaster-stricken area deep in the mountains.

On the way, they encountered several groups of Cambay townspeople who were searching in the forest, and the objects they searched were no longer just survivors of the avalanche, they were also searching for Colin who had become a prisoner and the man disguised as a hunter. Mourning, because they have found that two people are missing.

However, from the conversations of these townspeople, it is not difficult to hear that the search for Mourning is just incidental, and Colin, who is a big businessman, is the focus of the townspeople's search.

Although most of the search team thought that Colin was lost in the mountains, so they focused their search on the inside of the mountains, but there were also some people who knew how to reason, thinking that Colin was kidnapped by hunters, It's just that the purpose of the kidnapping they inferred was completely wrong. They thought the purpose of the kidnapping was just to seek money, but in fact it was another matter entirely.

The behavior of these search teams did not cause too much trouble to Leo and the others. They bypassed the search area of ​​these people and came to the location that Tessa Moka learned from the forest plants, which is located on the outskirts of Rum Peak. Near the hillside.

The reason why Tessa Mocha was able to get such an exact location was mainly because some battles had taken place here before, which caused considerable damage to the surrounding forests, and before the battle was over, a big avalanche occurred. The battle was interrupted, and the whereabouts of those people disappeared.

Originally, the advance of the avalanche here should have weakened to the limit and should not cause too much damage, but what is unexpected is that the avalanche has advanced here and has turned into a mudslide. The destructive power contained in these mudslides even exceeds the avalanche itself. .

A large amount of muddy water engulfing all kinds of trees and gravel has leveled this place, and there is no trace of any previous traces. What Leo needs to do now is to follow the direction of the mudslide and use the spirit net to find the place buried by the mudslide. underground.

Although the search process was somewhat boring, everything went smoothly. He soon found scattered and broken corpses in the land made of countless gravels, trees and soil. From some unique organs on the corpses, it was confirmed that these corpses were Those in Special Operations, and there were just that many of them.

In order to avoid mistakes, Leo asked Tessa Moka to use the plants buried deep in the ground to arch all the incomplete parts of these corpses to the ground, and then quickly put together the corpses, barely getting them together.

After confirming, he took off all the clothes and accessories from these corpses, and made a package. These things might be used in the future, and then found a lot of firewood, made a bonfire, and gave all these corpses to Burned.

At this time, Tessa Mocha seemed to think of something, and said, "It seems that there is one person missing."

Leo said in a deep voice, "Are you talking about the out-of-control family they hunted down?"

"Yes." Tessa Moka asked suspiciously: "Don't we need to find him?"

"No need." Leo shook his head and said, "Not to mention whether the out-of-control family still has normal reason and thinking, even if it does, it probably doesn't have the guts to contact the secret department of the empire, because before it can speak, It has already been attacked by the people of the empire. Even if the people of the empire don’t attack it, I’m afraid they won’t believe the accusation of an out-of-control family member against the imperial agent, not to mention that the imperial agent accused by it is one of the people who hunted and killed it before. one."

Tessa Mocha also felt that what Leo said was reasonable, so she didn't spend any more time on this issue, and moved the perception back from the forest.

In fact, when Leo was preparing for the bonfire just now, the plants in the nearby forest told her that a seriously injured monster appeared in the forest. She saw the appearance of the monster through the transformed plant vision, and found that this was the same as what the Special Operations Department said. The man-eating monsters are very similar.

At this moment, this monster fell unconscious in a forest, with a large number of wounds on its body, some of which even penetrated its body, which is absolutely fatal.

Originally, she planned to get rid of it by the way, but after hearing what Leo said, she also felt that this out-of-control family was not that important, so she let it go.

However, although Leo didn't care about this mutant family, Tessa Mocha also planned to let this mutant family go, but this mutant family didn't seem to want to be let go just like that. Suddenly, a burst of strong energy fluctuations emanated from the mutant family members, and soon spread to the area where Leo and the others were.

Tessa Mocha itself can't sense the energy changes of the outside world, but all kinds of creatures around can sense energy. After getting information from natural creatures, Tessa Mocha couldn't help showing a surprised look on her face. At this moment, she Seeing that Leo was looking in the direction of the energy source, he said, "It's coming from that out-of-control family member."

When Leo heard the words, he didn't say much, and walked towards the place where the out-of-control family members were.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the forest. At this time, the energy fluctuations from the forest also weakened a lot. It seemed that the mutation was almost completed.

After entering the woods, the two quickly found the out-of-control family member, and saw that the family member had already escaped from the inhuman state covered with various tumors, and the body swelled to distorted shape, but returned to a humanoid form. It's just that there are still various swollen cysts on his body, densely covering the surface of the skin, and ordinary people will feel uncontrollable nausea at a glance.

However, after seeing such a humanoid monster, Leo looked at it repeatedly with great interest, and even squatted beside the monster, carefully inspecting the swellings on the monster's body, as if he regarded the monster as some kind of experimental product.

"Is there anything wrong with this mutated monster?" Tessa Mocha stood aside and looked at it for a while, but couldn't see why, so she couldn't help asking curiously.

"Of course there is a problem, and it's not a small problem!" Leo stood up from the monster and said, "It's a family member of the Eye of Truth."

"The Eye of Reality?" Tessa Moka was stunned when she heard the words. Although she stayed in the primeval jungle of the Mosang Continent all year round, because of the internal intelligence network of the Witch Squad, she also had a lot of knowledge about what happened on other continents. Understand, she also knew about the fact that the Eye of Truth was banned in the outskirts of Miria by the Tower Wizard. It was a sensation, and she naturally heard about it.

Now hearing Leo claim that the mutant in front of her is a family member of the Eye of Truth, various information related to it quickly appeared in her mind, and she also subconsciously believed that the mutant was the remaining Eye of Truth Believers of the church, because in this worldwide sudden mutation tide, it has been confirmed that many monsters are followers of ancient gods and evil gods that have disappeared or are still being built.

"It's not a family member of the Eye of Truth." When Tessa Moka was about to say something, Leo suddenly said something inexplicably.

This sentence completely confused Tessa Mocha. She didn't understand why Leo just said that this guy was a family member of the Eye of Truth, but he denied it in a flash.

Leo seemed to be able to think of the confusion in Tessa Mocha's heart at the moment, so he explained: "Someone implanted him with Ability God cells made from the body of the Eye of Reality."

Tessa Mocha was stunned, and couldn't help being shocked and said: "Use the body of a god to make alien god cells? And it's the body of an evil god? Are these people crazy?"

"It's not necessarily crazy!" Leo said calmly, "It's just that the gods are no longer so high in their eyes. Don't forget that a group of people who ignored the gods did similar things before them."

"Wizard of the Tower?" Tessa Mocha quickly thought of who those people Leo said were.

Although she was absolutely sure that Leo could not make a wrong judgment, she was still a little skeptical and said, "Are you sure you are the family of the Eye of Truth?"

Leo didn't answer her, but only inspired the spiritual vision ability, and called out the mark of the real eye, and imitated the unique energy fluctuation produced by the spiritual body of the real eye at that time through the power of nightmare.

Although Sylvia couldn't feel the energy fluctuations, she could feel the invisible power on Leo's body from a higher life form through her biological instinct.

And when Leo's body emitted the energy fluctuations of the Eye of Reality's spiritual body, the swollen sacs on the surface of the mutant's body on the ground suddenly wriggled, followed by a crack in all of them, and then almost like eyes, revealing Eyeballs staring at Leo.

The sudden occurrence of such a terrifying scene caught Tessa Mocha a little by surprise. He reacted very quickly and retreated more than ten meters in an instant. While retreating, the surrounding plants also grew wildly, forming a fan in front of her. Fan the wall until it completely isolates her from the energy fluctuations of that family and stops.

As the person involved, Leo was not affected by this strange situation at all. Instead, he always looked at these eyeballs with a calm face, and looked at these eyeballs, and when Tessa Mocha couldn't see them, He borrowed the imprint of the Eye of Reality to condense an illusion of the Eye of Reality behind him, and this illusion was extremely realistic, even more like the Eye of Reality because of the special energy imitated by the power of the nightmare.

Almost at this moment, Leo felt that he seemed to have entered some kind of deep consciousness. He could vaguely sense countless subtle and special energy fluctuations, be able to determine the location of these energy sources, and even hear a lot of noise. Meaningless murmurs.

However, just when Leo was about to figure out what was going on, all abnormalities stopped suddenly, and he returned to normal. It shrunk a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye, from fist-sized sacs to only thumb-sized, and the appearance of the mutant began to appear.

I saw that this mutant had the typical appearance of a French aristocrat, with specially trimmed eyebrows, a high nose bridge that was held up with clips since childhood, and the favorite mustache of the French people. It turns out that the other party is a nobleman.

At this time, Tessa Mocha also noticed that she was making a fuss, so she let go of the protection of the surrounding plants and stood next to Leo again. After seeing the changes in the mutant, she seemed to change the subject and relieve herself. Embarrassed at the moment, he asked, "Has he gotten out of control?"

"Not sure yet." Leo did not give a positive answer. After thinking for a while, he reached out and grabbed the mutant, carried him on his shoulders, and said to Tessa Moka: "Let's go! Let's go back .”

When the two returned to the villa, the sky had gradually darkened. At this time, Sylvia was staying in the living room, looking at a genealogy revised by the House of Nobles of the French Empire. Mist and Randall went back to their room to rest. I went, but Mourning was not in the villa, he should have been ordered by Sylvia to do something.

After Leo entered the door, Sylvia looked up at him, and her eyes fell on the mutant who was carried by him, and asked, "Who is that on your back? Is there anyone alive in the Special Operations Department?" "

"It's not the person from the Special Operations Division, it's the mutant who was hunted down by the Special Operations Division." Leo explained, and then casually threw the mutant on the ground.

And Sylvia didn't pay attention to it at first, but after seeing the transgender appearance of this mutant, she couldn't help standing up from the chair, and said in surprise: "Count Pipero!"
