"I'm leaving first." Mist Walker Langbasian, who had experience in and out of the abandoned city, saw that the entrance had been opened, so he said to the others, and then jumped off the airship without hesitation and jumped into the lake below.

In the vortex above.

Seeing someone taking the lead, people from other airships also jumped towards the whirlpool. However, not all of them were able to enter the whirlpool. Several of them seemed to be pulled by some kind of force and were thrown out of the whirlpool range and fell into the lake.

Before they could even make a move to struggle, they were dragged to the bottom of the lake by the aliens hidden in the lake, and never came up again.

"Let's go down too!" Charles Longco did not continue to watch, climbed over the railing, and jumped down towards the whirlpool.

Seeing this, others jumped down one after another, while Leo followed behind.

When Leo was falling, he felt that when he reached a certain distance above the vortex, a force surged out of the vortex and swept through his body. This force did not cause any harm to him, but was like a detection.

A screening process like light waves is used to determine whether the creatures who fall into the entrance are qualified to enter the waste city. Those who fail will be directly pushed out of the exit by this force, just like the few people who fell into the lake before.

At the same time, a fierce roar suddenly came from the house in District 9, and then I saw huge tentacles tearing the entire house apart from the inside, and instantly expanded, turning into a huge monster.

.

However, before Leo could see clearly what was happening over there, he was completely swallowed up by the whirlpool.

When leaping into the vortex, Leo tried to use spiritual nets and other means to perceive the details of traveling through two different worlds to see if it was similar to the Earth Federation's leap.

However, he obviously underestimated the power contained in the vortex. Before he was completely surrounded by the vortex, the spiritual network was completely broken up by a force, and when he sank into the vortex, his whole person was also shaken by an invisible force.

Under the influence of the force, even the second brain was no exception.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Leo, who was in a coma, regained consciousness and instinctively made some defensive moves. He turned his twin gauntlets into cross swords, lowered his posture, and made a defensive sword posture.

And vigilantly observe the surrounding environment.

I saw that he was no longer in the dream world at this moment. The reason why he was so sure was because the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a red to black sun suspended in the distant sky.

There are no clouds or blue sky in the sky. It is all a layer of gray mist. Standing high and looking into the distance, as long as you can see it, objects no matter how far away they are can appear on the horizon and the stars in the universe.

It is contrary to the normal topography.

The entire earth is covered with a layer of white ash. This layer of ash feels like ashes, but is more delicate than ashes. If you hold it in your hand, it will immediately slip out from your fingers and will not stick to your hands.

His current location is on the edge of a cliff. Looking out of the cliff, he can see a layer of gray fog more than 20 meters below. It is the same color as the gray fog above his head, both in his sight and in his mental network.

Neither can penetrate it.

In addition, there is not nothing in the gray mist. Just when Leo looked down, he saw a huge back rising from the gray mist, and then quickly sank. Although it was only exposed

There was only a small part, but this small part was enough to judge that the shape of the foreign object in the fog was definitely that of a star battleship. Such a large size made Leo couldn't help but think of the giant golden deer he saw earlier.

The cliff Leo is on is at the edge of a huge city. It can be seen from the topography that this place was originally a high mountain, but it was split by external forces, leaving only a small part, which turned into the current cliff.

Standing at the highest point of the cliff and looking towards the city, you can see the details of the entire city. The first thing that caught Leo's mind were those weird buildings.

This city is dotted with various types of buildings of different sizes. Their shapes are extremely twisted and weird, and cannot be described in words. The materials used in the buildings look like obsidian, but they have blood vessel-like textures inside, and the blood flows in the blood vessels.

It's not blood, it's lava. Just looking at it will give people the illusion that the city is alive.

On the streets of the city, you can see some dead wood-like trees, but if you look carefully, you will find that these dead wood-like trees are actually made up of the bones of some weird creatures twisted together, and they are even more eye-catching.

These skeletons seemed to be still alive, shaking their movable limbs in disbelief, and letting out extremely painful groans, giving the entire strange city a terrifying atmosphere.

"Did Peter Alcott fail to reach here, or was he left somewhere else?" Leo, who recovered from the strong dizziness, became a little familiar with the surrounding situation, then looked at the items on his body and found that

The puppet's box is missing. Judging from the break of the strap, it must have been pulled apart by a force.

Regarding the fact that he could not successfully bring Peter Alcott over, Leo just felt a little regretful and wished him good luck in his heart. He did not take this matter to heart anymore, but arranged other items on his body.

.

Before setting off, Leo supplemented some special bullets from Hushang Town through the relationship with Charles Longco. However, due to the caliber, the molds needed to be remade, which wasted a lot of time. The final special bullets were only

There were just over two hundred pieces, far less than Leo expected.

This time, Leo did not store these bullets in the palm of his hand, but placed them in five different backpacks and pockets. Even if something unexpected happened, he would not lose these special bullets at once.

These backpacks containing special bullets and other application items were not lost like the boxes. They were all hung on his body. In addition, he also tried to open the palm space, and the result was smooth and he did not encounter any obstacles.

"Assistant brain, scan the body and analyze the environment!" After checking the condition of the items on his body, Leo did not rush into the city rashly. Instead, he acted cautiously and understood the situation before making a decision.

With the inspection of the accessory brain system, various data were organized into tabular information and appeared in Leo's eyes.

Through this information, Leo found that there were no abnormal changes in his body, but for some reason he had the illusion that his mouth and nose were covered by someone, and his body was also heavy, as if he was carrying a big stone on his back.

However, the answer to this situation was quickly found from the data. The reason is that the surrounding environment is somewhat unusual. For example, there are a large number of sulfur particles floating in the air, gases such as oxygen are so small that they are almost non-existent, and the gravity of the earth is another example.

The air resistance is nearly twice as high as normal, etc. All in all, this environment is not suitable for normal people to survive.

"According to normal circumstances, I should be in a coma due to lack of oxygen and eventually die slowly," Leo looked at the analysis data and said to himself: "But the reality is that although I am a little unwell,

But there is no danger to his life." As he spoke, he took a deep breath, frowned, and said, "No, although I made an inhalation movement, I did not inhale any gas, which means that there is no gas here.

Basic conditions for survival such as breathing are unnecessary.”

Thinking of this, Leo opened the backpack where the food and water were stored and checked the situation inside. He found that the food had all turned into ashes and the water in the container had completely disappeared as if it had completely evaporated. Only some impurities in the water remained at the bottom of the container.

.

At this time, Leo thought about the strange expressions on the faces of Charles Longco and the others when he was preparing food and water, as well as the simple luggage of Charles Longco and the others. It was obvious that Charles Longco and the others knew some basic things in the waste city.

Condition.

Although some of the preparations in advance turned out to be useless, Leo was not depressed because of this. In his opinion, even if these preparations were not used, it was not a bad thing.

After understanding that he did not need to worry about some basic survival conditions, Leo began to pay attention to other data in the analysis data, and the most important of these data to him was that the spiritual activity of the world in the Abandoned City was far beyond the

The world of Velen and the world of dreams.

After discovering this important data, Leo immediately tried to use psychic skills such as spiritual vision. He found that these psychic skills had not been improved due to the increase in spiritual activity in the surrounding universe, but the psychic skills that consumed spiritual energy

However, the recovery speed is much faster due to changes in the surrounding environment. According to Leo's estimation, it takes about three to four minutes to recover a little spiritual energy.

"Is it just like this?" After the test, Leo looked slightly disappointed. Obviously, the result was not what he expected.

However, soon Leo seemed to have thought of something and used the witchcraft air hammer that he had mastered.

I saw that the air hammer witchcraft that was originally just a shock wave actually condensed into a huge hammer-shaped energy body after he performed it, and hit a weird building not far away that was broken down to only half of it.

It passed by and instantly knocked a hole out of the seemingly solid building, and the energy aftermath also caused cracks that spread outward to the entire wall.

Seeing this scene, Leo was speechless and was stunned for a long time.

The power displayed by this air hammer was far beyond his expectation. Compared with the previous air hammers, it was completely different. If the materials used in the building were as hard as ordinary rocks, then this air hammer would

The power of the hammer is already comparable to the standard particle grenade of the Earth Federation Marine Corps.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Leo fell into deep thought and muttered to himself: "The psychic skills in the accessory brain system will not be affected by the environment and strengthened after use, but they will not be absorbed by the accessory brain system.

After the witchcraft is used, its power can be increased so much. What is the reason behind this?"

After pondering for a moment, Leo suddenly remembered that Charles Longco once mentioned a basic situation related to the environment of the abandoned city. Disorder and chaos are the characteristics of the environment of the abandoned city.

Thinking of this, Leo began to understand why there was such a huge difference in power between the two psychic skills that he had performed. This was because the psychic skills that were summarized and displayed by the vice-brain system were logical and orderly, while witchcraft itself was incomprehensible.

sequential.

To put it simply, every time Leo uses spiritual vision, spiritual network and other spiritual skills, the power is the same, there will be no difference, it can be said to be almost a constant, but the witchcraft is different, even if there are restrictions on the accessory brain system

In terms of psychic output, the same kind of witchcraft he performs will also have different strengths and weaknesses. This means that the effect of witchcraft is uncertain, that is, a state of disorder.

After finding the reason, Leo did not come to a conclusion. Instead, he used all the quasi-psionic skills he had learned recently, such as witchcraft and rune magic, on the spot. At the same time, he used the accessory brain system to collect various

Data related to witchcraft.

Because the surrounding environment can quickly restore consumed spiritual energy, Leo also consciously practiced some unskilled witchcraft while collecting witchcraft data. And every time he performed these unskilled witchcraft, he also passed

After analyzing the collected data and making adjustments, he stopped until the technique and the power of witchcraft reached an optimal balance, and stood quietly waiting for the spiritual energy to recover.

Although Leo stayed on the cliff on the edge of the city for a long time, he was not in a hurry to miss the meeting with Charles Longco and the others, because according to his analysis, if everything in this world was based on nothing,

If order is the foundation, then time should also be disordered, and under the influence of this disordered time, there is no difference between a few hours and decades.

When recovering his psychic powers, Leo did not do anything. His eyes kept scanning the city, carefully checking the situation in the city ahead.

During the inspection process, Leo quickly found the destination of his destination, Big Tree Cave, through the direction of the black sun.

As its name suggests, it is a big skeleton tree. This big tree is very large, only slightly shorter than the largest building in the city, and its trunk has a huge tree that can accommodate a thirty-meter-high building.

tree hole.

Although Leo found the place to go, he did not seem too happy, because under his observation just now, he did not find a foreign object in the abandoned city between life and death. The entire city except those who could move

Beyond the skeleton trees is an undefended empty city.

Leo said doubtfully: "How could this happen? This is completely different from what Charles Longco said."

According to the information provided by Charles Longco, the thirteenth level of Zait Ruins was a library city torn apart from a hellish civilization. When this library city fell to the ruined capital, a large number of hellish demons who had no time to escape also

They fell into the abandoned city together and were transformed into ash demons by the power of the abandoned city. These ash demons also made the thirteenth floor a dangerous place among the known floors of the Big Library, second only to the crystallized library on the forty-third floor.
