Leo's psychic vision easily allowed him to see through the thick fog and clearly see the appearance of the attacker on the ground. The striking appearance of the attacker with obvious features not only surprised him, but also

I think it makes sense.

I saw that although the body of this attacker was very similar to that of humans, walking on lower limbs and standing upright, their upper limbs and lower limbs were not much different, and not only did their palms have sharp claws, but there were also aquatic bird-shaped claws between their fingers.

It has a webbed membrane, and its dorsal fin has a bone spur-like dorsal fin.

In addition, its body is covered with moss-like skin, its chest is covered with metal-like fish scales, its face has no eyes, but it has a tentacle-like nose and a large mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Son of the Swamp." Looking at the monster in front of him, Leo murmured about the identity and origin of the attacker found in the memory data.

The legend of the Swamp Son has been circulating in the city of Miria for a long time, but no one has ever believed it. Only some women like to use stories about the Swamp Son as pillow stories for their children, or they will

When teaching children a lesson, they say that the children of the swamp will take away bad children.

According to the legend, before the city of Miria appeared, this area was a huge swamp. The tribes here believed in various gods related to the swamp, and the children of the swamp were the descendants of these swamp gods.

The servant race is also called the servant race of gods.

However, with the emergence of Milia City, the Orthodox Church cleared away the beliefs of the tribes in the swamp area, and the French Empire's army conquered the tribes in the swamp, eventually sweeping all these swamp myths into legends that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Among them, the sons of the swamp, who were the servants of these gods, naturally disappeared from the swamps around Miria City.

Even Rembrandt doesn't know whether the Sons of the Swamp really exist, because according to the construction records of Miria City, there are stories such as the legendary war between the Orthodox Church and the Swamp Gods, the French Empire's army fighting the Sons of the Swamp, etc.

is fake.

Although some troubles were encountered during the construction of Miria City, most of those troubles were caused by humans from the swamp tribe, and nothing supernatural appeared. This is not only recorded in the official construction data of Miria City.

, also recorded in secret organizations in the dark world such as the Night Watch organization and the Lost World Society.

But Old Rembrandt cannot deny the existence of the Children of the Swamp, because when building the foundation of Milia City, a large number of ancient civilization relics were discovered, and among these relics were found some upright creatures that were very different from humans.

Humanoid skeletons, many scholars believe that these remains should belong to the Swamp Children.

However, many scholars hold objections. Because the bones found were mixed with the bones of other animals, there is also a view that someone may be deliberately using various bones to artificially create the corpse of a swamp child.

Use the reputation of the Marsh Sons in Miria City to create influence and gain fame and fortune.

Although there has never been a public opinion in the academic world about whether the Swamp Son exists, there is one thing that all scholars agree on, that is, regardless of whether the Swamp Son exists, it is now extinct.

However, now it seems that this public opinion recognized by the academic community has become a fallacy. The children of the swamp have not disappeared, but have developed into a tribe, because just now Leo discovered through the spiritual network that at least a dozen people came to this hotel.

Except for the one currently killed by Leo, the other Swamp Sons were hunting down the French Empire soldiers who were resting in the hotel.

In addition, he also discovered that in the aristocratic villa manor not far across the street from the hotel, many residents of the village had gathered in the manor, as if they were holding some kind of ceremony, and the most eye-catching thing in this ceremony was the

There is a statue in front of everyone. This statue is the mother of all the children that Leo is very familiar with.

The Mother of All Women is one of the most mysterious ancient gods in the world of Velen, and her religious sects are equally mysterious. Almost few texts have been handed down. The only thing that is certain is that as long as there are snakes, lizards and other reptiles in the place,

There must be a belief in the Mother of All Women.

The Great Swamp of Milia City is no exception, and it is clearly recorded in the construction data that among the tribes in this Great Swamp, the majority of people believe in the Mother of All Women, so the servant race she controls is the Swamp.

The sons are naturally the most numerous.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the villagers in this village are performing some kind of sacrifice, and this sacrifice has attracted these sons of the swamp. As for the sacrifice, it is him and the outsiders staying in the hotel.

When sensing the scene of the sacrificial ceremony through the spiritual network, Leo also discovered the source of the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations he had sensed before. This source was the statue of the Mother of All Children.

It's a pity that Leo can only wander around the periphery of the ceremony through the spiritual network, unable to penetrate inside and remove the statue, because he feels that if he really does this, he may encounter very fatal dangers, and even

Even his mysterious blood may not be able to save him.

So after thinking about it for a while, Leo gave up the exploration of the ongoing sacrificial rituals of those village names, closed the spiritual network, and turned around to deal with the son of the swamp in his hands.

Leo moved the son of the swamp to the haystack, then opened the door and walked out. At the same time, he performed a very simple cleaning technique to clean up all the smell on his body. After that, he used the spiritual network to clean up the swamps in the hotel.

The son of the swamp conducted surveillance, carefully avoiding these swamp sons, silently entered the hotel room, and found some jars and knives.

After finding the tools, Leo returned to the warehouse, closed the door again, and then dissected the swamp son on the haystack one by one. Soon the swamp son was completely decomposed by Leo. During the dissection process, the swamp son's

The blood was put into jars by Leo, because there are a large number of potions in alchemy that require substances containing spiritual energy, and the blood of the Swamp Son contains spiritual energy fluctuations, although this fluctuation is not strong.

But it is enough to assist in making psychic potions.

After a series of dissections, Leo quickly gained a deep understanding of the Swamp Son species.

Regardless of whether this son of the swamp was born into this species, or whether he was a human being and gradually transformed into a dependent race like the villagers who were performing sacrifices in the noble villa and manor, in short, they are now completely irrelevant to humans.

Swamp Son's skin is extremely stretchable and can extend six to seven meters like rubber, and the same is true for his muscles. In order to cope with this special organ, Swamp Son's arms have only two main arm bones.

In addition, there are some auxiliary bones that are superimposed on each other.

From these special limbs, it can be inferred that the Swamp Son's attack methods may include many methods of sneak attack on the target by suddenly extending the arms. In addition to the special arms, the Swamp Son also has a venom gland similar to that of a poisonous snake in the palm of the hand.

The venom glands produce venom, which is injected into the prey through the sharp claws on the palms.

In addition to the bones of the arms, the internal organs of the Swamp Son are completely different from those of humans. The chest bones of the Swamp Son are in the shape of a complete container, which perfectly protects the internal organs of the Swamp Son within the strong bones. These bones are even as strong as

Compared with steel, if Leo had just attacked the opponent's body instead of his head, his fists might not be able to break through its body bones and kill it with one blow.

The reason why the body bones of the Swamp Son grow like this is because its internal organs are extremely special and extremely fragile. It does not have a heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, large and small intestines and other essential organs for the human body. Its internal organs are countless.

Alveolar-like organ is a huge organ. This organ is not only a respiratory and blood organ, but also a digestive organ.

However, this organ is extremely fragile. When Leo took apart the outer protective skeleton and cut open the outer protective membrane of the organ, the entire organ decayed and vaporized in the blink of an eye, so quickly that Leo had no time to use other means to preserve it.

.

However, judging from the various residual foods in this organ that have not yet had time to be digested, these children of the swamp seem to have changed their living habits. The large number of plant fruits that are only found in the mountains and the meat of some land animals indicate that their living areas have migrated to the interior.

land.

There is a reason why these children of the swamp can be called a race of servants of gods. Just like those ancestral incarnations in the dream world, they also possess magic-like abilities that envelope the entire village and cannot even be penetrated by spiritual vision.

The thick fog was created by them using their own magic-like skills.

This type of spell is very practical. Whether in a swamp or in a mountainous area, this type of spell can provide great help to the survival of these swamp children and can also prevent enemies from attacking them.

However, the magic-like spells of these children of the swamp are different from those of the Familia with psychic skills. The magic-like skills of the Familia are all derived from mutated blood, which is somewhat similar to that of the witch. Although the blood of the children of the swamp contains spiritual energy,

, but the psychic energy in the blood is only an accessory to the spells, and their spells all originate from their skulls.

There are a large number of Turing roots densely covered on the inner wall of the Swamp Son's skull. A rough count shows that there are more than five hundred. These Turing roots are not among the basic roots of the Gamore language.

Rather, it is a new basic radical.

These basic radicals themselves have very strong psychic fluctuations, and these psychic fluctuations are negative psychic fluctuations, like the rune magic arrays in the dream world, affecting everything around them all the time.

Even if Leo stares at these basic characters for a long time, he will feel some discomfort, such as nausea and dizziness. He will also feel that the temperature around him has become colder for no reason, and he will even have the illusion that a being in the void is watching him.

In addition, these character roots are not carved artificially, but are natural, just like the natural bone patterns on bones.

Judging from the numerous basic characters and complex Turing characters on these skulls, it is common sense that the Swamp Son possesses more than just one type of spell to create dense fog. Leo speculates that as the Swamp Son grows older, it will possess more spells.

With psionic enhancement, you can gain new spell-like psionic powers from the Turing root on your skull.

Leo did not have the time or energy to study the new Turing roots on the skulls for the time being. He had to find out before those swamp sons left, whether the Turing roots on the skulls of each swamp son were different, or whether they were all different.

Same.

So, he tidied up the completely dissected remains, and tried to put the clay pots filled with blood into the storage space, confirming that the storage space transformed from the palm space would not absorb the contents of the objects.

Psychic energy, on the contrary, plays a protective role on the psionic material, inhibiting the emission of psionic energy.

Although this change made the space more stable and made it easier to store items, it was not without its drawbacks, because Leo found that he could no longer create a space of turbulence in the space just by relying on psychic interference as before.

, used for attacks.

He lost an effective and powerful attack method, but gained a stable storage space. Leo couldn't judge the gain or loss for a while.

After putting all kinds of things into the storage space, Leo used a cleaning technique on himself to clean away all the smell and blood stains on his body, then opened the door and walked out, sneaking into the thick fog silently.

Not long after, I saw him grabbing a dead swamp son and returning to the forage warehouse. He repeated the dissection just now, and also packed up the blood and other psychic substances and put them into the storage space. Only this time.

He carefully preserved the complete internal organs of the Swamp Child and put it into a storage space, waiting for a chance to study it carefully.

Soon, Leo removed the skull of the Son of the Swamp, then took out the previous skull, quickly compared it, and determined that all the characters on the two skulls were exactly the same, just like

Copying is average.

Seeing this situation, Leo immediately had a bold guess in his mind. These swamp children were probably artificially created, and the existence of these swamp children also wrote those Turing roots into the genes of the swamp children.

in.

Leo, who had already figured out a question, put the two skulls into the storage space, then opened the door directly, walked out, and quickly left the village without disturbing anyone.

He was not too busy. He went to the manor of the noble villa to spy on the sacrifice ceremony of the villagers. Apart from the fact that he felt threatened by the statue of the god, he also felt that there was no need to pay attention to these villagers who were bound to die.

It is conceivable that if the Swamp Sons are wise, they will definitely take revenge on the villagers for the death of their companions. Even if the Swamp Sons do not retaliate, the Fran Empire will track down the disappearance of the entire patrol, and these villagers will not escape death by then.
