The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Barak and his hunters did not disclose the footprints of those monsters, but only secretly strengthened their guards. The hunters who were responsible for the surrounding security work and exploring the road ahead were no longer alone, but always kept five people. group.

The edge of this kind of personnel arrangement directly led to a loophole in the overall defense of the team. Some beasts approached the marching team through these unintentional loopholes and waited for an attack. Although these beasts were able to be found in time, some of the evacuees were fighting. Capable people drove or hunted, but caused some confusion among the asylum seekers.

Some people who are very sensitive to danger have also noticed that the atmosphere is a bit wrong. They have put their previously hidden weapons in a position where they can be pulled out at any time, and the walking position has been moved to a position slightly closer to the center to keep themselves A location easily attacked by a sudden.

Leo and the Net Weaver still follow behind the big team, but Leo will leave the team from time to time to solve some beasts that are enough to pose a life threat to these ordinary people.

The son of the swamp that appeared last night did not reappear, but left a lot of footprints, and even some very new footprints in some far away places, which shows that these swamp children have been trailing these people, even Leo Many monster footprints not belonging to the children of the swamp were also found, it seems that they should be other family members or unknown monsters.

These footprints made Leo unconsciously think of some legends about the Dibia Mountains, and also wondered about the origin of these family members or monsters that began to appear frequently.

Because the inland source of the Dibia Mountains is in the Black Forest, there has always been a saying that the Dibia Mountains are a part of the Black Forest and an external extension of the Black Forest. It’s just that although this argument has always existed, no one has ever endorsed it, because the Dibia Mountains do not spare any effort to devour any trespassers like the Black Forest. Many people live in the mountains of the Dimia Mountains Among the steep mountains, relying on the various outputs of the Dibia Mountains to survive. Those people in the mountains will encounter danger even if they go in and out of the deep mountains, but this degree of danger is like walking in the backyard of their own home compared to the danger in the Black Forest.

However, Leo now feels that this legend is not necessarily just a rumor. Judging from the footprints left in the snow, there should be a large number of clan and beasts of different ethnic groups inhabiting the mountains of the Dibia Mountains.

It’s just that there haven’t been many rumors about the existence of these clan and monsters in the past, and they are very fragmented and more difficult to distinguish between true and false. But now these clan and monsters have appeared on a large scale, and they are walking in these refuges like wolves hunting Around the attackers, waiting for an attack, this situation is really strange.

If there are only dozens or more than 100 people in the asylum team crossing the Dibia Mountains, it is justified to be stared at by these unknown family members and monsters. After all, there are fewer people and less power, which is good for hunting. But now there are more than 1,000 people in this team, and at least 400 of them have combat experience and complete armed forces. The rest of them also have a certain combat strength. Even if such a team is placed on the battlefield of Miria City, it can be regarded as a powerful team.

Even if those tribes and monsters have some special abilities or powerful powers, it is necessary to deal with such a team. The final result is probably mostly failure, which will only increase the casualties of their own ethnic group.

As long as slightly intelligent creatures will calculate the gains and losses, although those clan and monsters are not humanoid, but they do not mean that their wisdom is weaker than humans, but the reality is that they have indeed made a thankless decision, this Leo looked very abnormal.

The web weaver descended and appeared in the real world, harvesting the souls of dying people at such a short distance, and a large number of unknown clan and monsters who had disappeared also ran out to hunt a group of war refugees. Leo felt that there must be some Kind of connection.

"Is there any special person among these asylum seekers?" Leo suddenly gave a guess, and turned his head to scan the asylum seekers back and forth several times, and at the same time carefully checked the status of these people with the spirit net.

Although Leo did not find any special existence among these people that would attract the attention of clan and monsters, he still found something interesting, such as a wizard pretending to be an ordinary old man, and some civilized clan who can suppress the mutation. In addition, there are many ordinary people who have some psionic reactions in their bodies.

"What's the matter?" Leo, after learning the situation, couldn't help but wonder, because there are too many people with psionic reactions on his body, so incredible, there are more than two hundred people.

The so-called psionic response is the conditioned reflex produced by ordinary people when they come into contact with psionic energy. Some weak people will only have a chill, while those with large reactions will have dizziness and other uncomfortable reactions. Having a psionic response in the body does not mean that this person is a psionicist, but only that this person has the potential to become a psionicist.

Leo has also found some people with psionic reactions in the past, but whether it is the former Milia City or the lake town in the dream world, there are very few people with such psionic reactions, and the total number does not add up. To a hundred people. However, now he has easily found that more than two hundred people have obvious psionic reactions in the evacuation team of more than 1,000 people. This situation is very unusual, just like the family members and monsters that appear around the evacuation team. .

With these doubts, Leo is also paying attention to the situation of these people while clearing some of the deadly dangers around the evacuation team. Some small details that have not been noticed before and that are meaningless have become more unknown in his eyes. meaning.

The evacuation team went smoothly along the way. Although some people were injured because of some accidents, in general there were no casualties, and because there was no wind and snow blocking, they had already walked through the film at noon. At the bottom of the valley at any time, entered the foothills of the mountain opposite.

After taking a short break and eating something, the team continued on the road, but this time Barak did not lead everyone over the peak, but walked deeper into the mountains along the winding glacier channel at the foot of the mountain.

Unlike the valley full of gravel, the glacier river is covered with unique giant sequoia on both sides. This kind of tree is the best furniture and building materials. It can only be because most of them grow in deep mountains and are difficult to carry, so There is very little circulation in the external timber market.

However, for the people in this evacuation team, the value of Giant Sequoia is not on their hearts. All their thoughts are to find a place to camp as soon as possible and take a good rest.

Compared with the morning valley, the road of the Giant Sequoia Forest is much easier to walk. The ground is covered with soil accumulated after years of decaying leaves and is covered with a thin layer of snow, which makes it difficult for people to step on. It’s soft and not very hard. It’s very comfortable to walk, not to mention that there will be a hollow covered by snow suddenly, and there is no danger of injury.

It’s just that the road is gone, but the mood of the person is bad, because the branches and leaves of the giant sequoia covering the sky cover the whole sky, walking in the forest, it’s dark, and only a little light can pass through The leaves fell down, making people barely able to see a little around.

In this dark environment, emotions will inevitably be affected for a long time. Everyone becomes extremely sensitive. A little wind and grass will cause a commotion. Some people even have a slight illusion. They always feel the darkness in the surrounding forest. Something is watching them.

Before leading the team into the forest, Barak was ready, such as changing the team's formation, organizing people with weapons, and stationing them in different positions according to the team to assist the peripheral hunter team to protect the team's safety. , And asked loudly from time to time on the way to let everyone know that they are safe now.

Undoubtedly, in terms of the arrangement of the team's various things and the handling of unexpected situations, Barak has done perfection, and can hardly pick out any faults, but it is difficult to control the changes of the people's hearts with the perfect arrangement in advance.

As the team went deeper into the forest for longer and longer, the endless darkness of the forest was within everyone's sight. I couldn't help but have an illusion that I would never be able to get out of the forest. Under the influence of the illusion, no matter how stable my mind is It is inevitable that panic will occur.

Under the influence of this panic, some people tried to suggest that the team walk along the edge of the glacier channel, so that they can look up at the sky and have sunlight around them, which can ease the uneasiness in the team.

But Barak vetoed it without thinking about it. He had been clear all the time in and out of the mountains. Although the glacier channel looks like a mountain stream and there is little water, it is not enough to pose a threat to anyone. But once the wind and snow stop, the sun When irradiated on the glacier, the glacier snow will quickly melt, and in the blink of an eye, it is possible to turn this calm stream into a turbulent river.

If only he walked on the edge of the glacier channel alone, he could escape to a safe place before the crisis, but now it is a team of more than 1,000 people, and there are many elderly and children with mobility difficulties. It was difficult for him to sit so that everyone could leave safely.

The casualties will not only affect the morale of the entire team, but also hinder the road ahead, and may even blame the casualties on him, which will damage the prestige he has just established and affect him in front of those powerful people. Assessment of the image and ability.

Although he did not agree with the proposal to walk on the edge of the glacier channel, Barak agreed with the proposal of camping and rest proposed by others, because he found that going on not only did not walk fast, but also affected everyone's emotions. Stop, take a break, regain a low mood before proceeding.

So, Barak quickly found a small mound without too many trees and wide view as a camping site.

When the news of the camping spread, everyone could not help but cheer, the originally depressed morale suddenly rose up, although the journey today is much less than yesterday, but everyone feels more tired than yesterday Eating the first hot food and having a good night’s sleep became the most important thing they wanted to do.

In the giant sequoia forest, there are a lot of dead branches that fall from the trees. These things are suitable for camping, whether it is a fence for defending beasts, wood for campfires, or a bracket for tents. These inexhaustible dead branches can be used.

The completeness of basic materials and the experience of camping once made this camp much faster than yesterday. In less than an hour, the entire camp has been built, and there is even plenty of time and materials in the camp. Fences are placed on the outer frame, and some traps are arranged to block possible beast attacks.

Just like yesterday, Leo and the weavers were still on the edge of the camp. When dinner was done, everyone gathered together, drinking hot soup, eating toast, and talking to each other. The family found it yesterday. Leo and the weavers gave them food such as toast, and even brought a few blankets to keep out the cold.

Leo did not politely accept food and blankets, nor thank him, but secretly strengthened the witchcraft of the family.

This kind of witchcraft is not a witchcraft in the Velon world, but originates from the dream world. It is a wizard of the Witcher Association combining dispel, sub-enhanced, and shielding to create a witchcraft called magic protection. . This kind of witchcraft not only spontaneously dispels any beasts or evil creatures with hostile proximity, but also strengthens the body and spirit of the subject for a limited time. If necessary, witchcraft can also release all psionic energy to form psionic protection. Shield to protect the recipient.

If the people who saw Leo and the web weaver just thought they were weird people or people who were looking for death a day ago, then no matter how dull people can see these people are not easy~www. readwn.com~ But, even so, no one dared to step forward to greet them, not only because of some unexplained concerns, but also because they couldn’t afford to greet Leo and others, and even did not want to Close to these people.

Leo can feel the reason why this happens, and has nothing to do with himself, because the net weaver always emits a power similar to witchcraft in human dispel or neglect, which can be subtle. Affects the mood and thoughts of everyone around them, so that these people unconsciously ignore the existence of the web weaver, and Leo, who always stays with the web weaver, passively withstands the effects of this power. .

Because this psionic power was too weak, Leo didn’t notice it for a while, and now after discovering the effect of this power, he also became interested in the little girl and his family because of various circumstances. Look, that family is obviously immune to this spiritual power, so that kind of friendly behavior.

What's more interesting is that this family is also the most peculiar among all the ordinary people found by Leo to have psionic reactions. Other people's reactions are either chilling or dizziness, but only their family will instantly enter a deep sleep state and speak some language that has never been heard.
