The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Sensing that something was wrong, Leo looked at the surrounding forest, but found nothing worth noting.

So he canceled the spiritual vision skill, turned on the organ strengthening mode of the perfect control skill, and then briefly improved the sensory abilities of vision, hearing and smell through spiritual power, and sent all the information he saw, heard and smelled, It is collected in the accessory brain system, analyzed and sorted, and projected in the eyeballs to form a three-dimensional image.

"So it's there!"

Soon Leo discovered something unusual in the woods. In the forest more than 50 meters away from him, a group of patrolling mountain guards fell unconscious on the ground, and not far from these mountain guards Here, there is a grove of trees that is very strange.

Because according to the analysis of the information collected by the secondary brain system, the shape of this bush is exactly the same as that of another bush three meters away from it, just like looking in a mirror, and Leo's hearing can still hear the transmission from that bush. The breath and heartbeat of five people. The more important point was that his sense of smell smelled a familiar scent of perfume, and he could already guess the identity of someone in that bush without much thought.

Although the abnormal situation has been discovered, Leo did not intend to take the initiative to get close to it, but stopped the perfect control skills, restrained his breath and continued to squat on the tree, paying attention to the situation in the wasteland ahead.

At this time, those people in the wasteland did not realize that their guards in the forest had been wiped out, and their focus was all on the ongoing religious ceremony.

At this moment, the old man had already put on an animal skin cloak and a crown made of unknown animal bones on his head. He stepped on the steps and walked to the top of the temporary altar. Put it in the center of the altar, and then face the sky, chanting these incomprehensible languages ​​aloud.

When the old man started the ceremony, except for the five church knights who stood around the altar to protect the altar, everyone else, including the speaker of the Continental Congress, knelt on the ground and used another method. Praying in words, and the prayer gradually merged with the old man's yelling, producing another strange sound.

Leo's spiritual perception sensed that waves of spiritual energy were emanating from the wasteland, and this spiritual energy stretched and vibrated like a heart.

With strong curiosity, Leo activated his spiritual vision skill, and saw a stream of purple psionic energy permeating from the ground at that moment, entrenched on the ground to form a layer of psionic mist, and at the same time from the psionic mist A dozen spiritual tentacles drilled out, stretched out into the air of the altar, entangled with each other, and gathered together.

At the same time, a purple light gushed out from the skin on the altar and merged with the purple psionic energy gathered in the sky, gradually forming a spherical fuzzy image with tentacles.

"Will value!" Seeing this monster-like blurred image, Leo immediately opened the personal data interface to check the daily value of will.

However, what surprised him was that the daily value of his will showed no signs of decreasing. Only then did he remember that his sub-brain system didn't seem to issue a warning either.

"What's going on here?" Leo couldn't help but feel puzzled, but soon he thought of the strength of the psionic energy wave he encountered before, as if he understood something, and looked at the suspension with a strange look Eyeballs of psychic tentacles in the air and gradually becoming clear.

The reason why Leo casually watched the tentacled eyeball composed of psionic energy, and no longer worried that his daily value of will would be affected, was mainly because he had already discovered the real situation of the eyeball itself.

He speculated that the body of the eyeball is in the giant rock sphere under the wasteland, and it should have been sealed inside by the ancient wizards. Judging by the intensity of the psionic energy wave produced by the wizard's strange object in this sphere, the body of the eyeball is the strongest. However, it is equivalent to a ninth-level psyker, not a high-level creature that has evolved into an omega level.

Only omega-level creatures like gods in this world will affect Leo's daily value of will. No matter how strong the eyeball itself is, as long as it has not crossed the final evolutionary step, its creature level and Leo's are equal. The same, so there is no such thing as rank suppression and level influence.

Although this is not an Omega-level creature, Leo was a little relieved, but it was only a sigh of relief, because after all, this mysterious creature's spiritual power level is as high as level nine, and it is also the kind of creature that makes people look up when placed in the Earth Federation. The existence of him is by no means something that a level 2 psyker like him can contend with.

Now, the ceremony that the high priest of the mysterious church is conducting should be some kind of divine descending ceremony. The piece of skin placed on the altar probably belongs to this eyeball creature, and the old man is communicating with the banned eyeball creature through this piece of skin Will, so that it can enter that piece of skin and achieve the purpose of the coming of the spirit.

"The approaching moment should be the weakest time for this eyeball creature. Presumably they should be waiting for this opportunity!" Leo calculated the best time to act after carefully analyzing the current situation.

At this time, he looked down at the forest behind him, and found that the abnormal bush had moved to the edge of the wasteland, and the shape of the bush had changed into another shape, so he vaguely guessed the intentions of these people.

Since someone took the initiative to charge into the battle, Leo would naturally not refuse, and he was more willing to make a secret move at a critical moment to make a final decision.

Just as Leo was waiting for his chance to make a move, the misty purple psionic energy on the ground had become very thin, and all gathered above the altar, and the huge purple eyeball with hundreds of tentacles also became very real, Through spiritual vision, one can even see the scales on the eyeball and the hairs on each of the tentacles.

At this moment, as if feeling Leo's spiritual vision, the huge eyeball suddenly turned around and looked at Leo.

The people below the altar did not notice any abnormality in this movement of the eyeballs, but the high priest above the altar, who was in a psychic state, felt it.

So, the high priest didn't interrupt the prayer he was chanting, but raised his hand and pointed towards the woods where Leo was.

The spiritual origin of the eye creature sensed Leo's spiritual vision, and the location where Leo was looking, and the high priest could only vaguely feel the forest that the eye creature noticed through the psychic, so he pointed out coming.

However, it was even more coincidental that the location of those people lurking in the forest happened to be not far from the tree where Leo was, making them think that the high priest had discovered their tracks.

A series of wrong judgments resulted in an attack that should have waited for a while, so it had to be carried out in advance.

The bushes not far from the Leo tree suddenly disappeared, turning into a big black cloak, and then the cloak was lifted, and three Church knights in armor and burqas with the emblem of the Orthodox Holy See rushed out of it. , rushed towards the altar.

At this time, the five church knights on the other side drew out their weapons without fear, and went up to them. At the same time, the guards took out their crossbows and were about to shoot at the three church knights.

But before the guards loaded the arrows on the crossbow, they saw a dozen arrows shot out from the black cloak in an instant. These arrows hit the necks of the guards with great precision, killing them instantly.

Then I saw Sylvia wearing a red and black lace leather trench coat with the Gothic style of the Earth Federation, holding a mechanical crossbow and a rapier in her hands, walking out of the cloak, and the The black cloak also turned into a cloud of black mist and shrank into the skirt of a black lady.

On the other hand, it is difficult to tell the winner in the five-on-three church knight group battle. On the one hand, the Holy See uses the cross sword that Leo is very familiar with, but it is one point less than the cross sword that Leo knows. The imposing manner and more hands-off swordsmanship have reduced the lethality a lot.

On the other hand, the five knights of the secret church also used cross sword swordsmanship, but their swordsmanship has obviously been changed, with a little more sneaky assassination skills, but the lethality in frontal combat is much lower than that of the Orthodox Holy See's cross swordsmanship. The sword is even worse, but because of the tacit cooperation with each other, it is inseparable from the three church knights of the Orthodox Holy See.

Leo, who was squatting on the tree, focused his attention on the fights of the eight church knights. He used his sub-brain system to record the fights of these church knights, analyzed them, and integrated them into his own melee cold weapon skills. .

Although his attention was mainly on the church knights, he also did not ignore the situation of Sylvia and the mysterious lady.

After killing the guards and showing up, Sylvia immediately rushed to the wasteland, pointed the bow and crossbow at the high priest on the altar, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

It's just that after the arrow was shot, when it was about to touch the high priest, it was blocked by an invisible force.

In the eyes of others, it seems that there is a protective shield around the high priest, but in Leo's eyes, it is the tentacles of the eyeball creature that blocked the arrows, and the eyeball creature also pierced more than a dozen tentacles into the guards who were shot dead before. body.

Seeing that the arrows had no effect, Sylvia did not show any surprise, but remained confident and calm.

I saw that she quickly took out another red arrow box from her body and buckled it on the mechanical repeater in her hand, and inserted the sword in her hand into the scabbard at her waist, and turned the knob next to the scabbard, Then he drew a dagger.

Most of the people present couldn't understand Sylvia's movements, but Leo's spiritual vision could see clearly that the red quiver used by Sylvia was a special kind of spiritual weapon, and the scabbard contained It seems that there is also some kind of device that puts a dagger on the ordinary rapier, turning it into a spiritual weapon in a short time.

After changing her weapons, Sylvia raised her crossbow again and shot a few arrows at the high priest, but this time her arrows still had no effect, because they were all caught by the speaker of the Continental Congress, but the spirit The impact can cut the speaker's hand into a bloody mess.

"Sylvia, you shouldn't have come here. It's so difficult that you don't know that your subordinates and allies have been exposed and are being hunted down by Rupert?" The speaker broke the crossbow in his hand, ignoring the injury on his hand , said with a smile to Sylvia.

I have to say that as a politician, the speaker of the Continental Parliament has a very friendly smile. Many people are deceived by this kind of smile, including Sylvia.

It can be said that Sylvia has great trust in the Speaker. Not only did she introduce her allies to him, but she even handed over her hidden subordinates to him for a period of time, but the result was a devastating betrayal. So how much she trusted this smile at the time, how much she hates it now.

"Don't be delayed by him, they are taking medicine!" At this time, the lady in black suddenly reminded.

I saw that all the mountain people under the altar took out a test tube from their pockets, unplugged it, and sucked out the purple mist inside. Everyone's skin instantly turned dark purple, and emitted Jewel-like silver light, but their faces became extremely ferocious, and the bones of their heads were kneaded by an invisible force, which quickly turned them into a kind of purple gemstone skin, with only one eye and one A monster with sharp teeth and a big mouth.

After the transformation was completed, those monsters all rushed towards Sylvia immediately. It seemed that they would not stop until Sylvia was killed to pieces.

"I'll hold them back, you solve it as soon as possible." At this time, the lady in black who had always maintained an elegant state said to Sylvia, and then her whole body suddenly turned into a black shadow, covering these monsters. Enter it, trap them like a black cage.

"It seems that the Orthodox Holy See has also fallen. Don't you think it's ridiculous to cooperate with the dark family and call us the belief of evil gods?" Instead, he looked at Sylvia mockingly and said.

At the same time, the three subordinates beside the speaker also inhaled the purple gas from the test tubes on their body, but they inhaled three, and the color was much darker than those of the mountain people.

At this time, their bodies swelled rapidly, their muscles bulged out, and the skin could not support the increase of the muscles, and they were torn apart. Finally, when their changes stopped, all three of them became three bodies without skin and muscles. Exposed Cyclops.

At the same time, the guards who had died behind them all stood up from the ground, drew out the knight swords around their waists, and rushed towards Sylvia with the arrows around their necks.

Seeing someone rushing to kill, the three muscular Cyclopes also mixed in among the resurrected guards and charged towards Sylvia.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation in front of her, Sylvia didn't panic, and quickly hung the crossbow in her hand on a mechanical device around her waist, and a catapult appeared on the crossbow, and there were seven arrows in the catapult. Special bombs, she believes seven bombs are enough to turn things around

Just when Sylvia was about to throw out the ultimate move, a strange sight not only stunned her, but also stunned the speaker and the three cyclops who were enemies.

It turned out that the resurrected guards ignored Sylvia at all, and ran past her, as if she didn't exist, and rushed straight to the forest where they hid before.

Just when these resurrected guards were about to rush to the woods, a black figure leaped down from a tree, and at the same time as it fell, its hands were shining with silver light, sweeping across these guards like a halo, and then nearly half of them just The resurrected guards fell to the ground again, only this time they couldn't get up again.
