Chapter 1916 On the Road to the Abyss
Hearing the screams coming from behind, Leo's face showed a hint of slightness. Starting from the black swamp, he noticed those abyss snakes following him in the dark, and they followed him openly, without fear of his noticing.
, so that he had to keep his nerves tense and on alert at all times.
When he had a conflict with the abyss serpent just now, the following abyss serpents also moved to a very close distance, so he had to devote part of his attention to guarding against sneak attacks, so he could only use the demigod abyss vines to deal with it.
The big snake of the abyss made him feel helpless and uncomfortable.
Therefore, when he left just now, he found that the attention of the abyss serpents was elsewhere and not on him, so he took the opportunity to use the thunder gun to teach the abyss serpents a lesson and also to warn him.
them.
Although the concentration time of this thunder spear was very short and the power was incomplete, he mixed the power of the mark of divine punishment into the thunder spear, and the power finally displayed was surprisingly good. Those lightning bolts containing the power of divine punishment were not only
It tore apart the land of the abyss and even caused a lot of damage to the abyss snakes. The only flaw was that the power of the God's Punishment Mark recovered very slowly after being used. This may be related to the environment here in the abyss.
After giving the Abyss Serpent a warning, Leo felt that he would not be in any trouble for the time being, so he chased after the convoy of intelligent creatures that was leaving the dense forest.
On the previous road, Leo tried to sense Sylvia's position. Unfortunately, although he could sense Sylvia's existence, his specific position was extremely vague. It seemed that there was a force deliberately interfering with Lenovo.
In an environment like the abyss, he felt that the force interfering with perception should come from Sylvia herself.
Leo no longer forced himself to sense Sylvia's location through the connection with her soul, because in the abyss, doing so was just like placing a delicious meal on the table of hungry diners, which would attract countless greedy and hungry people.
Thirst means coveting.
Coming out of the Black Swamp, Leo spent almost three months equivalent to the normal world. Although he was traveling at the fastest speed the whole journey, the area of the Black Swamp was much larger than he expected, and it was the most
The trouble is that the geographical environment here will also change with time, which means that the space here is completely chaotic. You may have walked thousands of kilometers one day, but you will find yourself back to the same place the next day.
He took many detours for this reason.
At first, he thought it was the abyss serpents following him that were causing trouble, but later he discovered that it had nothing to do with those abyss serpents. The disorderly and chaotic changes in the geographical environment were actually caused by the chaotic laws of the abyss. He searched all the things related to the abyss.
No solution has been found in the relevant information.
It wasn't until he was intimidating those abyss serpents and used the method of possession to penetrate the power of the crystallized serpents throughout his body, turning himself into a crystallized serpent, that he discovered that the chaotic laws of this geographical environment were completely aimed at those beings.
Outsiders polluted by the abyss, races native to the abyss and foreign races polluted to a certain extent by the abyss are all immune to the spatial dislocation caused by the chaotic law.
At the same time, he also understood why the abyss serpents following him became eager to move after he repeatedly encountered space chaos, because the abyss serpents realized that he might be an outsider, but after he turned into a crystallized serpent,
At that time, the power of the abyss superior became the best proof, which made most of the following abyss serpents choose to retreat. Only three abyss serpents still doubted his identity and followed him out of the black swamp.
The environment of each region in the abyss world is very different. For example, the black swamp is full of strong abyss atmosphere. Every living creature there will constantly recite blasphemous murmurs to outsiders in it, and these blasphemous murmurs
It is not heard with the ears, but directly transmitted to the spirit. Deep in the soul, once you are inadvertently bewitched by the whispers, a blasphemous mark will be imprinted on the soul. Such a blasphemous mark will not immediately appear.
Harming the imprinted person will continuously create various blasphemous powers, polluting the soul, and eventually causing the imprinted person to be completely corrupted.
However, the Abyss Serpents in the Black Swamp are immune to such blasphemous mutterings, and the blasphemous marks formed by such blasphemous mutterings are the best spiritual food for them, so the Abyss Serpents often capture some abyssal creatures, or those who have been
The intelligent creatures in the fragments of the fallen world they controlled were thrown into the Black Swamp to be contaminated by blasphemous whispers, producing blasphemous marks, and then sacrificed to themselves.
The same kind of blasphemous mark is also good for the crystallized serpent. After Leo discovered this, he directly allowed himself to receive blasphemous murmurs to form a blasphemous mark, and then let the power of the crystallized serpent directly swallow it.
In more than a month, the abyss power in the body of the crystallized serpent has improved more than a little with the help of the blasphemy mark. The most obvious feature is that the stone pillars of the crystallized serpent in the stone pillar square have been completely formed from the capital to the column to the base. If
It's not that the mark of blasphemy is no longer helpful to the crystallized serpent, maybe Leo will stay in the black swamp for a while.
Compared with the Black Swamp, the abyss wasteland where Leo is now is in another situation. It is extremely desolate, with no plants to be seen, only fine stones and gravel, and the abyssal atmosphere surrounding it is not very strong.
, of course, this is not very strong compared to the Black Forest and the previous dense forest.
It seems that there is no danger in this abyssal wasteland, but in fact the danger in this wasteland is everywhere, and this danger is the sun above your head.
In Leo's abyss information, there is no such thing as the sun in the abyss. In the black swamp and the previous dense forest, there is no sun in the sky. As long as you enter this wasteland, you can see the sun above your head, and
This sun is actually an abyss superior, an abyss superior whose strength reaches the level of a true god.
Leo's spiritual vision ability can tell that the so-called sun is actually a wriggling mass of flesh. The light of the sun is actually a kind of gas emitted by the mass of flesh. This gas burns in the air to form a strong light, and
The flames produced by burning will not harm the meat balls.
Although this kind of light feels very similar to sunlight, and it can also produce a feeling of warmth when it shines on people, and makes people feel inexplicably at ease, in fact, when these lights are shined on, the person who is illuminated will suffer from body and soul.
Automatically offer sacrifices to the camouflaged sun in the sky, and the sacrifices will continue until the person illuminated is completely dead, so no living things can be seen in this wasteland.
It is precisely for this reason that as long as a method can be found to resist this passive light sacrifice, it is very safe to move around in this wasteland. The convoy of intelligent creatures that Leo is following seems to have found this method.
With Leo's speed, he quickly caught up with the convoy, but he did not rush to communicate with the intelligent creatures in the convoy. Instead, he followed from a distance and listened to the conversations between them through extraordinary perception.
Talk and explore their language.
The intelligent creatures in this convoy are not humans. They are more like evolved reptiles. Their heads look like lizards, they have two legs, some have two pairs of arms, some have three pairs, and some even have four pairs.
Yes, the more arms you have, the longer your upper body will be, which will look weird.
In the abyss, there are all kinds of weird-shaped creatures. The appearance of the intelligent creatures in this convoy is not very weird, and can even be regarded as a normal appearance. What really attracted Leo's attention was the mechas worn by these intelligent creatures.
And the weapons in his hands.
The mechas on these intelligent creatures are very similar to the industrial mining mechas used on the mineral planets of the Earth Federation. Although now these mechas have activated their flesh and blood due to some power that he does not know, allowing the users to wear them perfectly.
Armor, but judging from its overall appearance, it is obvious that the initial form of this mecha does not conform to the appearance of those intelligent creatures. For example, the most obvious appearance flaw is that these mechas only have one pair of arms, but those intelligent creatures have
Multiple pairs of arms.
In addition, the weapons in the hands of these intelligent creatures are either pulse energy drills used for mining, or strong particle high-frequency knives used for cutting. No matter how you look at it, Leo feels that these intelligent creatures have obtained some technological products from the human mining planet on earth.
Then modify it into a form that you can use.
Later, Leo was convinced that his bold guess was right, because when he was learning the language of these intelligent creatures, he found that the language used by these intelligent creatures was more like a common language of the Earth Federation with dialects and special vocal organs.
language.
After mastering the language of these intelligent creatures and the special vocabulary in their languages, Leo gradually understood the general origins of these intelligent creatures and the purpose of walking in the abyss from their conversations.
For example, he knew that these people came from a fragment of the world called Shudania, so he could call them Shudanians. In Leo's memory, there was indeed a planet among the mining planets of the Earth Federation that had similar characteristics.
Name, that planet is called Redania.
The reason why Leo was so impressed by the name of a mining planet is because Redania is famous for being weird in the Earth Federation. This planet often makes strange noises that cannot be explained by any science.
For example, people in an entire city suddenly disappear overnight, or people who have lived there for a long time have inexplicable vocal variations. However, after testing with various instruments, there is no basis for the environment to cause human vocal variation.
However, now that I think about it, the unsolved mysteries of Redania that troubled Earth Federation scientists back then may be related to the abyss.
Also because he thought of Redania, Leo also thought of the Menes lizard, a specialty of Redania. This lizard was originally a pet lizard for spaceship crews or miners in the mine. Later, these pet lizards wandered into the wilds of Redania.
, gradually evolved into Menes lizards, and the biggest difference between Menes lizards and ordinary lizards is that they have multiple limbs. The higher the status of the lizard in the lizard group, the more limbs it has. This seems to be the same as what is shown in the Shudanian convoys in front of me.
The classification of status levels is exactly the same.
The main reason why the Earth Federation is interested in Menes lizards is that Menes lizards evolve very quickly. They have completed several major biological gene evolutions in just a few thousand years, while it took hundreds of years for humans to complete such an evolution.
Thousands of years, so some scientists predict that the Menes lizards will evolve into an intelligent race in a few thousand years, and the Shudanians in front of Leo now may be the result of the evolution of the Menes lizards.
In addition to deducing the origins of these Shudanians through some clues, Leo was more concerned about the purpose of these people's trip to Bone City.
After listening to the conversations among the Shudanians in the convoy, Leo knew that the destination of the current convoy was also the destination of his trip, Bone City. These Shudanians seemed to be trading an ore called red stone.
, Leo didn’t know what the red stone was, but it was easy to tell from the tone of the Shudanians’ conversation that the red stone was very important to them.
Precisely because he knew that the purpose of this convoy was the same as his own, Leo also gave up the idea of contacting the people in this convoy. After all, in a place like the abyss, a strange intelligent creature rashly interacted with another group of intelligent creatures.
Contact may eventually turn into an unnecessary fight. It would be better to follow from a distance and let the team lead the way.
In this way, Leo completely restrained all the aura of power in his body, making himself like a stone on the ground, following behind the convoy, marching slowly in this lifeless wasteland.
Although this wasteland is filled with that kind of sacrificial light and is not suitable for any living creatures to survive and reproduce, this does not mean that there are no living creatures here. In fact, there are many worm-like abyss monsters growing underground here.
Perfectly avoiding the sacrificial sunlight above their heads, they usually huddle underground in a manner similar to hibernation, only allowing their tentacles to burrow close to the ground, and then wait motionless for prey.
When something walks on the ground above the tentacles, the tentacles will sense its position, and then the worms will quickly drill out of the ground, devour the prey directly, and hide back underground before the sacrificial light can take effect.
.
On the road, the Shudanian convoy encountered many such worm attacks. Leo initially thought about helping them secretly, but watching them skillfully control the car to avoid the worm attacks, and then used his hands to
The weapon quickly cut the protruding part of the worm into pieces, and then collected these into a refining device with a happy face. After refining it into something similar to a nutrient solution, he gave up the idea of taking action and acted like a
bystander.
In this way, Leo followed this convoy for about a month, walked out of this wasteland full of sacrificial sunshine, and came to a land filled with all kinds of huge bones, and the sky was shrouded in darkness.
