The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Compared with the various conditions that appeared on the first night after entering the endless ridge, the night of the next two days was obviously a lot quieter. Not only did the big monster larvae appear throughout the night, but also the dangerous monsters hidden in the dark. And the beast did not appear either.

In fact, for the lumberjack family, this kind of night is the normal state of their lives. The situation like the first night is completely rare. The data recorded by the lumberjack family over the years is similar to this. The total experience is no more than twenty times, which can be said to be very rare.

Although the two days were very stable, the three young Powells were not happy at all, because they found that they had lost their way.

It is not correct to say that they are lost. The correct statement is that they have also become like ordinary people, and they have begun to be affected by the mysterious power of Trub Mountain.

They found that the reason for something wrong was that according to their calculations, they should arrive at the last temporary resting place at noon. As long as they rest there for one night, they will be on the road the next day, and in the afternoon they will be able to arrive at the bottom of the Trub Mountain. Mountain city.

However, the problem now is that the time has come to the afternoon, and there is not much time before dark, but the temporary resting place has never appeared, so they wonder if they will lose the mystery of Trub Mountain. The ability to influence power has become trapped in Mount Trub just like ordinary people.

Regarding the worries of these three people, Leo also paid attention to them. In fact, he found the problem in the morning compared to the three people only finding out that something was wrong after noon.

If there was a specific time, it was in the morning, after they encountered the remains of an investigator sent to the mountain by the Haute Federation, the three members of the lumberjack family had something wrong.

On the previous road, it was not the first time Leo and his party encountered the remains of the victims of the Haute Federation, but the remains were all scattered in the gravel. If it were not for some clothing as a mark, I am afraid it would be difficult. The remains were recognized from the rubble on the hillside.

But this remains is different. This remains did not die naturally, but was tied to a large rock by a chain, and died slowly. In the end, the cause of his death can no longer be distinguished, but it is certain that he His death at that time should have been painful, because there were a lot of scratching marks on the surface of the big stone that bound him, and the ten fingers of the remains were very worn out, and a few fingers and even the first knuckles were polished. .

It can be seen that the deceased was in extreme pain at the time and couldn't help scratching the surrounding things, and the pain was so strong that he couldn't feel it when his fingers were worn or polished.

When the three people saw this corpse, their faces changed, they were as pale as if their blood had been drained, and their expressions of fear were as if they had seen something terrible, and this emotion of fear even surpassed that night. The fear of the strange bug larva when it appears.

Leo didn't ask about the origin of the corpse at the time, but thought it was the punishment of the lumberjack family for the intruder, but now it seems that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"It's over, we're over! The curse is true, we are all cursed!" At this time, the young man in the lead looked at the darkening sky, and couldn't help but muttered in despair.

The other two people's faces were also full of despair, and their feet seemed to have lost their strength, and they sat softly on the ground.

"What happened to the corpse just now?" Leo walked up to a few people and asked.

The three of them looked at each other, hesitated, and finally said something about the corpse.

It turned out that there was a member of the lumberjack family in the exploration team sent by the Otter Federation back then, and he joined the team as a guide.

In fact, the Otter Federation has also discovered some mysteries about Trub Mountain. At that time, some people in Trub Mountain had the ability to freely enter and exit Trub Mountain, but they did not know the specific details of these people, so they Just look for an opportunity to catch a person, and use coercive methods to make that person a guide.

As a result, the guide failed to bring the exploratory team to the foot of Mount Trub. Even if there was a guide, those who entered the mountain were still affected by the mysterious power of Mount Trub and lost one after another. In the end, only the guide returned. Arrived in the mountain city.

However, when he returned to the mountain city, he did not receive the comfort and care of his people. Instead, he was treated as a traitor, locked him on a stone, and tortured him with a torture that only the elders of the family could master. Death, to warn other members of the lumberjack families not to be traitors.

In the end, no one knows how the guide died, but there is a legend in the lumberjack family, saying that the guide issued a curse before he died. After the curse, all those who guide outsiders will be lost forever in the endless ridge. .

It's just that no one in the lumberjack family believes this curse. They all think it is just a lie deliberately fabricated by the old people in the family to avoid similar things from happening again, hoping to act as a deterrent.

Because this curse has never happened, and even now, most people in the lumberjack family believe that the story about the family traitor and the punishment is also false, and it was deliberately fabricated to prove the existence of the curse.

However, now the three of Powell's family seem to have believed that the curse is true, because the body of the tortured family traitor in the legend really appeared in front of them, and the plight of the three of them is clear. This is the best example of being cursed.

After listening to the trio’s narration, Leo hadn’t had time to check whether the curse the trio said was true. Sylvia on the side had already said with certainty: “Fake, there is no curse power in the three of them. ."

Hearing Sylvia's words, Leo was stunned. Although he didn't know why Sylvia was so sure, he still chose to believe Sylvia's words, because he felt that since Sylvia was completed at the level of life With leap-forward evolution, then she will definitely have a lot of unique talent abilities, and there may be an ability to see through curses in these abilities.

After eliminating the cause of curse, Leo needed to consider what caused the three people's abilities to have problems.

For Leo, if it is really because of the curse, it will be easier. You only need to find the reason from the three of them, and then remove the curse power from the three of them. This has at least a targeted goal, but now He didn't know exactly what caused the trio's immunity to Trub Mountain to weaken.

The reason why it is weakened, but not disappeared, is mainly because the extended space of the endless ridge did not fully affect them. Their journey on this day is still a long way forward, but compared to the previous two days. Come, this distance is slightly shorter.

Leo initially looked for the cause on the three of them, but soon found that the three of them were normal and had no physical problems, so he could only shift the direction of the investigation to other aspects, such as the surrounding environment. For this reason, he temporarily distorted it. The talisman of the power was put away, and he carefully sensed the strength and weakness of the surrounding energy fluctuations without the influence of any external force.

As a result, when he just put away the Talisman of Twisting Power, he immediately ended the search for the problem, because he was already certain that the problem was in the surrounding environment, because the energy fluctuations he felt at this moment were compared to what he had just entered. The energy fluctuation he felt during the endless ridge was more than twice as strong. At the moment when he put away the Twisted Power Talisman, he hardly needed to release the spiritual net, he already felt the squeezing and rejection of the surrounding forces very clearly. He even had the illusion that Sylvia and the young men of the three lumberjack families standing by his side were quickly moving away. This was obviously an extension of space that had an effect on him.

"Have your lumberjack family ever experienced such things as the sudden strengthening of the mysterious power in a certain part of Trub Mountain, and the drastically weakening of your immunity?" Leo, who discovered the problem, immediately moved forward and has not recovered from his despair. The three people who came over asked.

"Huh?" The three of them didn't slow down for a while, and they were stunned for a while before they realized Leo's question.

However, the three of them are obviously ordinary members of the Powell family, and they are completely confused about Leo's questions, and naturally they can't give any answers.

"I remember some similar situations were mentioned in the manual." At this moment, one of them suddenly yelled as if he was thinking of something.

After this person's reminder, the other two people also remembered something one after another, and talked about the manual they mentioned.

That manual is an experience manual for the woodcutter family rangers. Most of them mentioned what problems they encountered when patrolling the Trub Mountain area, how to solve them, and how to protect themselves.

However, these three obviously did not care about the contents of this manual, because the experience recorded in that manual did not have the relevant experience of the Powell family, because the Powell family basically did not encounter the contents mentioned in the manual. Those dangers. So they didn't memorize the contents attentively, they read it hastily.

Now they recalled that the current situation seemed to be somewhat similar to a situation recorded in the manual, but they couldn't remember the specific content.

Seeing that the three of them couldn't recall the contents of the manual, Leo decided to do it himself.

I saw that he walked directly in front of the three of them and used hypnotism on the three of them. Because hypnotism is not a supernatural power, it is only a psychological suggestion caused by language and movement, so it is not disturbed by the mysterious power of Trub Mountain. Tao, and because the three of them were not on guard, the effect was very good.

Soon, the three of them, under Leo's guidance, began to discover the contents of the subconscious memory, and said those contents one to five to ten.

Soon the three of them mentioned similar scenarios recorded in the manual, and also talked about the reasons for this scenario and how to deal with it.

"The big weird worm lays eggs?" Leo and Sylvia were a little surprised after listening to the statements of the three, because the manual mentioned that the lumberjack family's immune ability failed in the endless ridge because of the big The weird worm is about to lay eggs, and the process of laying eggs will cause the power of the big weird worm to be lost, causing the mysterious power of the endless ridge to increase, thereby forming the illusion that the ability is invalid.

The way to deal with this situation is very simple. Dig a cave in the ground where you can bury yourself, and hide in the cave until the end of the big weird worm's eggs. The sign of the end is easy to recognize is the shouting. A screaming sound can make the listener feel happy from the heart, which means that the big weird worm's egg laying is over.

One thing to pay attention to during hiding is that you should never go out of the cave and look up into the sky.

In addition, the length of time for the big weird worm to lay eggs cannot be determined. In a short time, one night is over. In a long time, it may take a few days or even months. During this time, if you don’t have enough water And food can only wait to die, as for leaving the cave to find food and water is undoubtedly mortal.

After understanding the situation, Leo and Sylvia felt that no matter whether this method was useful or not, it was necessary to dig a cave and build a temporary shelter.

So the two people found a place with a little solid geology on the side of the hillside and began to excavate.

When the three young men from the lumberjack family heard that Leo and Sylvia were actually going to dig a cave on a hillside mountain that was all rocky, they felt that they might be crazy.

However, when they saw Leo and Sylvia's hands-on, they thought they might be crazy because they thought they had seen an illusion.

I saw that Sylvia, who was beautiful and terrifying in their eyes, suddenly created a ball of flame out of thin air, and then the flame spewed a pillar of fire toward the rock on the hillside designated by her. The temperature of the pillar of fire was very high, so high that it touched the rock. In an instant, the rock melted into lava, and an irregular cave appeared in front of the three of them.

Following Leo's seemingly random waving of his hands, the softened rock and lava in the cave were caught by an invisible big hand, and they were thrown aside, and the inner wall of the cave was also squeezed by invisible force. Press down to be smooth and smooth. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

When the last mass of lava was caught, the inside of a cave that could accommodate dozens of people was completely formed, and the lava caught by the invisible hand was not discarded, but was repeatedly kneaded in the air, and finally kneaded into one. A stone door leaned against the entrance.

On the other side, the fireball made by Sylvia stopped breathing fire and dispelled it, but at the same time as the fireball disappeared, an invisible whirlwind appeared in the cave, blowing out the hot air in the cave. After ten minutes, the cave had completely cooled down.

"It's not bad to be a temporary residence." Leo walked into the cave, looked around and said.

"It's not so good for a long time." Sylvia frowned and said with a frown.

Leo nodded and said, "If it takes a long time, dig in and build a toilet or something."

Sylvia said nothing more.

At this moment, the three dumbfounded people outside the entrance of the cave looked at them as if they were watching two monsters, and they did not recover from the shock.
