The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The escaping team proceeded to pack up some inexplicable sadness, put the packed backpack on the back, led by Barak, walked half a circle along the foot of a high mountain, and walked into a simple On the mountain road, slowly climb towards the mountainside.

　　 As the mountainside approached, Barak led the crowd around a huge stone, and on the other side of the stone saw a large cave.

Before leading everyone into the karst cave, Barak explained the situation of the karst cave, indicating that the karst cave passed directly through the middle of the mountain and could lead them to the other side of the mountain, and then ignited the torch that had been prepared long ago and entered the karst cave. Among.

Others saw that Barak took the lead into the cave, and also lit the torches in their hands, and the fire in the torch quickly illuminated the cave. The refraction of light and the crystallization of the minerals in the cave made the original The dark karst caves have become colorful, and look mysterious and beautiful, so that the uneasiness in everyone's mind has been calmed down a little, and the pace has been much lighter.

The net weaver also walked outside the cave and was about to enter the cave, but they suddenly stopped walking, and each went around from the big stone covering the entrance of the cave, without any obstruction, toward the distant mountains The Giant Sequoia Forest looked at it and always kept a cold, dull face with a trace of worry.

At this time, Leo, who was far behind the escape team, also came up and saw the strangeness of the net weavers. He could not help but looked at the giant redwood forest along their eyes, but he did not see any abnormal scenes. And asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong there?"

　　 The web weaver didn't answer, but pointed to the spider tattoo on Leo's back.

　　After the spider was re-excited by the web weaver yesterday, the spider tattoo on the back of Leo's hand has not disappeared or hidden, just like a real tattoo, it always appears on the back of the hand, even ordinary people can see it. In addition, Leo can also stimulate the power in the tattoo by injecting psionic energy, so that his sight can once again gain the ability to see anyone's soul and soul line.

　　 After receiving the prompt, Leo did not think much, and directly inspired the spider tattoo on the back of the hand, turning the visual mode of the eye into the soul horizon, and saw another scene in the giant redwood forest.

I saw it, I don’t know when it started, the giant redwood forest was almost covered by a giant sludge-like monster, and this giant sludge monster continued to creep its black oil-like body towards the giant redwood forest. Proliferate in other places that are not covered.

At the same time, over the muddy monsters, a large number of web weavers revealing the humanoid shape of the spiders piled up. They flew down from the air without fear, falling like raindrops on the muddy monsters below. Crazy bite the body of the mud monster.

However, the fearless attacks of these web weavers obviously have no effect on the giant sludge monsters, it still creeps and expands around itself, even if the web weavers on their bodies have already opened their bodies and penetrated into their bodies. Can't stop its expansion.

"This is..." Leo saw this giant muddy monster, and he immediately appeared in his mind a few days ago to see the nearly invisible black forest monster or family clan covered on the ground, although the shape of the two is very different at the moment. , But Leo immediately thought of it when he saw the muddy monster.

　　 Before Leo cleared the monsters and family members around the evacuation team, he had encountered such monsters many times, and also tried various methods to deal with it, but no matter what method was used, this monster could not be completely eliminated. For example, using explosions, beheadings, etc., will only explode the body of the monster, explode its body into countless small pieces, and split it into countless individuals, but it cannot kill it. The same is true if it is burned with fire. Just make it coke-like, let it fall into a certain state of sleep or ban, and it can't kill it completely.

　　Because it is impossible to kill this monster, and this monster does not seem to have any offensiveness, after Leo encountered such a monster on the road, he did not remove it.

　　However, Leo had no idea that this harmless Black Forest monster, once grown up, would become so powerful.

　　Although Leo can't feel any psionic fluctuations from the monster, he can clearly see the other party's huge soul beam through the soul horizon given by the net weaver.

In addition, after using the vision skills, he can also see the various relief-like forms that are constantly emerging on the surface of the giant muddy monster through the effect of hyperopia. Among these forms are the previous escapers who walked back, There are also Black Forest monsters and family members killed by him these days.

Obviously, this sludge monster has swallowed those who fled back, and it is more likely to follow Leo’s chance of killing and clearing those Black Forest monsters and family members, following them all the way and eating those who were killed. The soul and body wreckage of the Black Forest monsters and family members killed by Ou eventually grew to a state where anyone would be shocked to see it now.

　　 "What's this?" Leo was shocked and couldn't help asking to the web weavers around him.

　　 And the web weavers did not hesitate to answer, said: "匍......貘......"

　　 Hearing this term, Leo immediately found the corresponding content in the material in his brain, and at the same time he could not help cursing a few words to the editor of this material.

The information about the tapir comes from a collection of folk fairy tales compiled by the Yiwen Society. In the legend, the tapir was originally a human child, because he was too greedy from childhood, stealing the sacrifices contributed to the gods, annoyed After becoming a god, he was eventually turned into a monster that would always feel hungry, but could never eat enough. Behind this story there is a picture specially prepared by the editor, and the image of the tapir on the way is more like a pig

, Is very different from the image of this real creeping tapir.

When I first saw the story of this fairy tale collection, Leo didn't care about the above content at all, just let the vice brain routinely remember it. After all, most of the stories like fairy tales like pillows were mostly edited by man. But now it seems that those fairy tales are not necessarily fake.

"Do you need my help?" Although the exchanges with the web weavers are few in the past few days, they get along very well, and Leo also likes to get along with such a few words, so I saw the web The author seemed to be in trouble, so he took the initiative to ask.

　　 The web weaver beside Leo shook his head slightly, his eyes were always paying attention to the situation of the giant redwood forest, but soon the worried expression on their faces quickly disappeared and returned to the original dull state.

Leo also saw a glimpse of the distant war situation from the change of the web weaver's look. Although it seems that the web weaver's attack on the tapir has no effect, it is only on the surface. In fact, the web weaver has already Found the weakness of the tapir.

Since the tapir swallowed the bodies and souls of a large number of people, monsters and family members, its shape rapidly expanded like a balloon to its present state in a short time, but it is also because of this uncontrolled and unintended devouring like a balloon. Unbearable.

Before, because the soul light displayed by the tapir was too shocking, Leo hadn't been able to observe it for a while, but now after shocking, he found that the soul light emitted by the tapir was dazzling and huge, but it was really messy. Each soul ray seems to repel all the soul ray around it, which keeps its body always in a very fragile balance.

Obviously, the web weaver has also discovered the weakness of the creeping tapir, so regardless of the swallowing of the unknown power inside the creeping tapir, it keeps falling from the sky and plunges into the creeping tapir, guiding the soul rays of those humans, monsters and families to shock the creeping. Tapir's fragile balance.

After a few minutes, Leo saw that the tapir's body suddenly stopped crawling around, and then jerked like a cramp. As the frequency of the jitter increased, its huge body suddenly swelled nearly twice, and immediately Melting fast like butter on a red iron plate, waves of soul light spread like ripples in the pool, spreading around, and quickly advanced to Leo.

At the same time as the soul light came, the web weavers around Leo suddenly revealed their original spider-human form, and opened a large, ugly mouth, a huge net protruding from the mouth, will The soul light wave network pushed in it.

At the same time, Leo also felt that the spider tattoo on the back of his hand was faintly hot, and he uncontrollably flew a large net similar to the web weaver from the spider tattoo, capturing the light waves of the soul that those web weavers missed. In it.

　　 The moment when the light wave was captured by the Soul Net, Leo immediately felt a strange force in his body that could not be described in words. However, before Leo could feel the details of this power, this power disappeared instantly. However, this disappearance is not really disappeared. It should be transformed into other powers in the body's unknown higher bloodline, such as psionic power and nightmare power. At this time, the previous consumption is completely restored, and whether it is qualitative or not , Or the volume has been significantly improved.

There were only three waves of soul light waves, which lasted for a short time and ended in less than ten seconds. After the light waves disappeared, Leo saw a thread hang down from the world network, covering the entire giant sequoia The forest, and then saw some soul light groups rising with the silk thread, and integrated into the world's web.

What surprised Leo was that in those soul light groups, not only the souls of humans, but also the souls of some monsters and family members were captured by silk threads. It seems that the collapse of the tapir just now should have caused the surrounding space. Some unpredictable influences have broken the gap between the Black Forest Wonderland and the real world, allowing web weavers to take away the souls belonging to the Black Forest.

　　Seeing that things have basically subsided, the web weavers no longer stay in place to observe the subsequent development, turn around and return to the entrance of the karst cave, quickly walk into the karst cave, and chase up the evacuation team that has walked a long distance.

　　 Leo was also ready to move on, but after two steps, he stopped again and looked down at the spider tattoo that was retracting the soul web.

Although the spider tattoo given to him by the web weaver looks no harm to him from the present, it has given him some abilities, such as seeing the soul, capturing the soul, etc., but this is after all the power given by others, and from the previous Judging from the situation, this power is easily out of his control.

Leo did not think that the web weaver was malicious to him, nor did he think that the spider tattoo was made by the web weaver, but he had an almost instinctive uneasiness and rejection of any power that was not under his complete control. . So when he saw the spider tattoo return to normal, he secretly decided that if he could not fully grasp and integrate the power contained in the spider tattoo into his own power system, he should strip the spider tattoo from himself and give up completely. This kind of power that is completely aimed at the soul.

　　 After making a decision, Leo was also a little lighter. While looking at the changes in his psionic power and nightmare power, he quickly followed and walked into the cave.

　　As Barak explained at the entrance of the cave, although the cave is meandering, it is not very long, and there is no fork in the road. After walking for about half an hour, I walked to the other side of the cave.

　　Just after reaching the other side of the cave, everyone did not regain the lightness of the light. Instead, because the scenes in front of them all showed fear, even the hunters walking in the mountains all year round became pale. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

　　I saw that the ground outside the cave has completely collapsed

Going down into a huge abyss meandering between the mountains, standing on the side of the abyss, can't see the bottom at all, even if you throw a stone down, you can't hear any echo, the only one that can pass through the abyss There is only one mountain trail formed from the edge of the abyss.

To be honest, this mountain trail is not very narrow. The width of the road is enough for three people to walk side by side, but the location of the mountain trail is too special. The bottom of the abyss, coupled with the strong mountain wind that constantly blows over the abyss, even if walking against the mountain wall, knowing that there is no accident, you can never fall into the abyss, and these ordinary people will be afraid of the surrounding environment. And afraid.

　　Barak knew very well that the longer these ordinary people stood on the spot, the greater the fear in their hearts, and the less they dared to walk up the mountain.

So, while he ordered the hunters under his command to tie the ropes that he had prepared for each person, and used a very relaxed tone to indicate that they were protected by ropes, even if someone fell on the road, there would be no danger, and walking through this Duan Abyssal Trail, the future road will be much easier to walk, there will be no such dangerous mountain road now.

I don’t know if Barak’s appeasement really worked, or the people who decided to move forward knew that there was no turning back, the restlessness in the team quickly stabilized, everyone tied the rope around their waist, and then Under Barak's leadership, he walked into this abyssal path that looked extremely dangerous.
