The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"The mysterious world under steampunk (

"Because there is a stronger and more terrifying monster entrenched here." Just when Bran and other caravan executives were puzzled by the abnormal situation in the forest, Leo's voice came from the cabin behind Bushan. , Doudou Road.

After listening to Leo’s words, everyone who was stuck in the blind corner of thinking also came back to their senses. Indeed, as Leo said, for those monsters who use instinctive beastness as a benchmark for action, it is only possible when they encounter more powerful and terrifying monsters Escape the chassis they already occupy.

"You'd better count the number of people." Leo reminded him again when everyone's attention had not yet returned from the news that there were scary monsters here.

Although Leo is just a stranger who joined the caravan temporarily, his outstanding temperament has already left a deep impression on the caravan seniors. Just like Bran, other people subconsciously think Leo is not an ordinary person. , Either are the noble nobles, or those who have great power.

Unlike Bran who thinks Leo is a big figure with status, the captain of the guard and the hunter leader in the caravan believe that Leo is an extraordinary person with strong power based on experience, because only people with strong power have the courage and ability in this Travel alone in the era of rampant monsters.

No matter what image Leo is in the minds of these caravan seniors, his words will be taken seriously by these people.

So when they heard Leo's reminder, even if they didn't understand Leo's meaning, they still chose to follow Leo's suggestion.

So a team of more than 500 meters in length stopped advancing and stood on the spot under the command of a sound. The caravan guards all took out weapons and entered a state of alert in accordance with the previous rules and experience. The hunters as pathfinders are also listening. After reaching the indicative whistle of the hunter leader, he quickly returned to the caravan.

Subsequently, the captains and low-level stewards in charge of each team began to check the number of caravans according to the roster in their hands. Although everyone in the caravan was puzzled by this order, they still faithfully followed the instructions and stayed in place, waiting for the next order. , And the atmosphere of the entire caravan has become a bit tense from the relaxed atmosphere of not encountering any monster attacks.

Although the Fire Dancer Caravan is a large caravan, there are thousands of people in terms of logistics, but because of the proper organization and meticulous division of powers, the efficiency of any work is very efficient. Soon the total number of caravans was ordered. It came out, but the final result was not what everyone hoped to get, so that everyone's face showed a worried look.

Five people in the entire caravan were missing. Two of them were members of the hunter squad, two were caravan escorts, and one was a servant in charge of logistics. The disappearance of someone was not the reason why the caravan’s senior leaders were worried, it really made them. The worry is that these missing people do not exist in the memories of all the caravans, only in the roster.

The caravan of fire dancers has been doing business all the year round. The senior leaders of the caravan are naturally experienced old people. They soon realized that the disappearance of the caravan had extraordinary powers involved. The silent and silent abduction of the merchant While the unknown existence of the team members was abducting people, they also erased the abducted objects from the memories of all the caravans. This made the caravan seniors only realize that they had disappeared.

Because such a thing has never happened before, the caravan's senior management can only adjust the caravan's marching queue according to the response plan compiled from past experience.

The serpentine formation, which was originally fast-tracking, was gathered back. The non-combatants in the caravan were placed in the middle of the team, the caravan guards were all arranged around in preparation for battle, and the hunter team was also called back to the team. They were all arranged on the roof of the hut on Bushan, equipped with mechanical bows and crossbows to serve as temporary guard towers and long-range strike forces.

In addition, Bran also activated several shaman spells that were placed on Bushan for detection and alert, and distributed the matching fruits to everyone in the caravan.

The functions of these shaman spells are the same, they are to create a vigilant realm. Any creature without fruit on their body can be perceived by this vigilant realm. At the same time, if a creature with fruit leaves the vigilant realm, the realm will immediately The alarm is sounded, and the fruit will burst open, producing an extremely pungent smell and a fluorescent fog that can be seen clearly in the dark.

This kind of shaman spell can be said to be the most popular shaman spell on the mainland of Mossan. Because it is very simple and effective to cast, even in places like the Holy City of the Lord of the Sky, there will be people willing to use this kind of shaman. Full of spells to protect yourself.

After arranging the caravan's alert and defense plan, Bran also asked Leo for his opinion, but Leo would not help the morale of the opponent, and did not tell his true thoughts, but let Bran continue on his way.

Leo did not hide his thoughts, making it easy for Bran to see that Leo didn’t seem to be optimistic about these arrangements of the caravan, but although he saw Leo’s true thoughts, he didn’t ask much, except Not only because he didn't think there was a problem with his layout, but also because he had doubts about Leo.

This does not mean that Bran really suspected that Leo was the unknown existence that caused the disappearance of the caravan members. It was just because when the caravan had an accident, as the caravan supervisor, he would instinctively suspect everything that could be suspected, even if Lei He invited Ou to join the caravan.

Under Bran’s order, the caravan restarted and marched along the winding mountain road towards the destination, but compared to the previous speed of the caravan, the current speed has been reduced by nearly half, so the caravan People with a little experience know that before dark, they may have difficulty reaching the camp of the Kata tribe.

In the dark, staying in the wild, even if you are not alone, and there are many people around you, you still feel instinctively fearful. This fear quickly spread in the caravan. There were people talking and laughing on the road. The sight also disappeared, replaced by faces with solemn expressions.

Leo in the small house naturally saw that Bran had a little doubt about him. He didn't mind this, because if he was in Bran’s current position, he would have the same doubts, and even make them more excessive. thing.

What he cares more about now is the unknown existence that can still steal caravan members silently and even modify his memory under the monitoring of his spiritual network.

When the caravan started to set off, Leo’s spiritual web had already spread to the surrounding area. Checking the surroundings, he found no problems until recently when Bran mentioned that there were no monsters and ferocious beasts in the surrounding forest. , He realized something was wrong.

Because unlike Bran and other caravan executives who only placed the targets of vigilance on the ferocious beasts and monsters, Leo’s spiritual net targets almost all creatures, including plants and insects, because if the world's mutation affects humans and Animals, plants and insects are certainly not immune, and compared to the continent of Velen and Minsk, the vast majority of the land is still in the state of virgin forests in the continent of Mosang hidden dangerous insects and plants are absolutely amazing.

According to the Biological Encyclopedia published by the medical school, almost all of the most dangerous insects and plants in the world are in the mainland of Mozambique. Only the mysterious Black Forest in the entire Vinylon world can compare with it.

However, Leo followed the caravan all the way and found that not only was there not a dangerous mutant insect in the surrounding virgin forest, but even the mutant plants hidden in the normal trees in the forest shrank, afraid to show anything. Anomaly.

This also led Leo to make his previous judgment, believing that there may be a powerful and terrifying unknown existence hidden in the forest in this area. This frightened all the mutant creatures in the forest, and all that could escape escaped here. A piece of forest, including insects, can only curl up to avoid being discovered by this mutant creature.

Afterwards, Leo suggested to count the number of people because he found that there were fewer people in the caravan. When he set out, he asked for the number of people through the spiritual network, and just now when he asked again, he found that there were few people. He had five people, and like Bran and others, he also found that he did not have the relevant memories of these five people, only judging from the number of people, which also shows that he was also affected by the unknown in silence. Power attack.

This is undoubtedly an incredible thing for Leo, because he knows very well that under the action of various special forces in his body, even higher Omega-level living entities or gods cannot tamper with his memory silently. But the facts now tell him that an unknown existence has done it, which makes him unable to help but guess that this unknown existence is an existence beyond gods.

However, this conjecture was immediately rejected by Leo, because it is obvious that if the other party is an existence beyond the gods, then there will definitely be a place in the churches of various countries in the world of Vinylon, especially the enthusiastic followers of the Cthulhu Church will be willing to become They believe in the food of the gods, because it makes them think that they and the gods have been integrated, and the other party does not need to hide in the forest secretly like this, hunting humans who break into their realm.

Leo, who was aroused by this unknown existence, didn't feel that he would encounter any danger. Instead, some game-like star areas were created, which happened to be able to pass the boring time on the road through the opponent.

Therefore, when Bran and other caravan seniors began to deploy the caravan’s security and defenses, Leo also arranged some psychic powers around the caravan, and also left a psionic mark on everyone in the caravan. So that no one else in the caravan is missing, he can find the opponent's position with his psionic mark.

In addition, he does not think that the unknown existence is still hiding in the forest watching the caravan, waiting for the next time to attack, like Bran and others do. Instead, he feels that the unknown existence is now hidden inside the caravan, or Became someone in the caravan or hid in the cargo of the caravan. In short, this unknown existence deceived Bran and other leaders of the caravan and at the same time made his spiritual net ineffective, so all his The layout is for the interior of the caravan.

However, I don’t know if it’s because the unknown existence already knows that the caravan has discovered the anomaly, or the various security fortifications of the caravan had an effect, or Leo’s arrangement made the unknown existence no chance to start. During the journey, the caravan never experienced any missing persons, nor did it encounter any danger. Instead, it stopped several times on the road and asked for the number of people to strain everyone’s nerves. After a long time, all Everyone showed a tired look.

However, there are natural gains. Although the hidden unknown existence makes the entire caravan's spirit exhausted, at the same time, the caravan has not been attacked. Even in the forest after dark, there are still no monsters attacking them. This anomaly Even the dull people felt something was wrong, so the atmosphere in the caravan was more tense than during the day.

Because the caravan slowed down, so as Bran and others estimated until dark ~ www.readwn.com ~ they are still a long way from the Kata tribe camp, but they did not According to the normal procedure, he stopped advancing and camped on the spot, but continued to travel through the more dangerous forest and mountain roads in the dark.

This decision was actually suggested by Leo. After dark, the top of the caravan discussed whether they should stop and set up camp. Although Bran had some doubts about Leo, he was also exceptional because Leo discovered the abnormal situation before. Pay attention to Leo's suggestion, and Leo's suggestion is completely different from the decision made by the caravan's top management, that is to move on.

As for the explanation given by Leo, it is also very simple. After the caravan stays and camps, the security and defense fortifications will not be much better than they are now, and because of the camp, the current inherent formation and the entire layout will also be attacked. Disperse, those shaman spells will naturally be temporarily removed, which will expose the entire caravan in danger.

Rather than doing this thankless thing, it is better to continue on the road and go to the camp of the Kata tribe. As for the danger on the road, there is only one danger, and that is the difficulty of the mountain road, and the monster attack that the caravan needs to worry about most. , Because of the influence of the unknown existence, it no longer poses a threat to the caravan walking in the forest at night.

After that, as Leo said, the caravan had only a few small accidents in a few narrow mountain roads, and there was no major danger until the caravan reached the camp of the Kata tribe. There was no monster attack, and the unknown existence did not appear.

However, for the people in the caravan, after reaching their predetermined resting point, their tense nerves did not relax, but tightened even more, and the original panic emotions became stronger and faster. Permeated everyone's hearts.
