Chapter 250 Soul Humanity
In the following two days, although Leo experienced a lot more battles than before, almost a dozen battles every day, or it could be said to be massacres, this fulfilling fighting life actually made him feel very comfortable, and a lot of
His combat experience also provided him with helpful help in adjusting his combat methods and forming a new combat model. All in all, he spent the past two days in a relaxed and comfortable manner.
Compared to Leo's condition, the fleeing team secretly protected by Leo was obviously not doing so well.
Although Leo kept clearing away the monsters and dependents in the black forest along the way, nothing is certain. There will always be a few fish that slip through the net. Coupled with the ferocious beasts that already exist in the forest, escape teams have begun to appear in the past two days.
A large number of non-accidental deaths.
Among the dead people, except for the dozen or so people who accidentally left the team who were attacked by wild beasts and whose corpses were found after their death, the bodies of the other dozen or so people who were attacked by the family members who sneaked into the camp could not even be found.
arrived, and this finding was not limited to people in the fleeing team, even Leo could not be found.
After the web spinner directly passed the news that the camp was attacked by the family members to Leo through some kind of power, Leo secretly returned to the camp to check the situation of the attack site. Although most of the traces were left by the camp for various reasons.
People accidentally destroyed it, but there are still many residual traces that can still provide Leo with a lot of useful clues.
Through these clues, Leo deduced that the attack happened suddenly, almost in the blink of an eye, and no one could react. Then all the attacked people disappeared on the spot, as if they were swallowed up by the surrounding space.
Leo could not find out from the remaining traces what kind of black forest monster or family members attacked these people, so he asked the web weaver to see if there were any clues from the web weaver. What surprised him was that even the web weaver
The attacker did not know the identity of the attacker, but he only knew that the cords on the victims were broken.
Dozens of casualties and missing people, coupled with the long time walking in the dark forest with no end in sight, made the people in the escape team increasingly panicked. Although Barak's organizational skills were very strong, he was faced with
He had no good countermeasures to solve this situation of overall morale and people's depression. He could only speed up and get out of the forest before the team's morale dropped to an uncontrollable level.
Fortunately, Barak was very familiar with this road. He didn't make any mistakes along the way, and his estimation of the distance was also very accurate. Finally, on the fourth day after entering this river forest, the escape team was able to escape from this dark and huge red forest.
The cedar forest walked out and came to the foot of the Alfeng Mountain.
Alfeng is the highest peak of the Dibia Mountains and the symbol of the Dibia Mountains. Although it is named after the peak, it is actually a steep ridge that follows the trend of the mountains and traverses east and west. From a distance, it looks like an insertion.
A giant wall in the clouds divides the continent of West France into northern and southern parts.
The ridge of the Alfn is very steep, almost vertical, and is covered with a layer of fragile ice and snow all year round. It looks solid when you step on it, but is actually soft. An avalanche can occur at any time. Even the most experienced mountaineering adventurers cannot climb this ridge.
The ridge is one of the main reasons why people think it is impossible to cross the Dibia Mountains.
Although the escape team walked out of the forest and bathed in the sun again, they could not feel any warmth. Not only because the cold wind in the mountains took away all the heat of the sun, but also because of the sight in their eyes.
The towering ridge wall you reach is enough to make people feel despair in their hearts.
Everyone present had only heard about the peculiar terrain of the Alfeng, and they only had a conceptual understanding of the Yunzhong Mountain Peak. However, what they heard and what they saw in front of them had a completely different impact on their hearts. Many people
Everyone began to doubt whether they could climb over this wall of the world, including those powerful people.
Barak is a particularly sensitive person. He quickly noticed that something was wrong with the team's situation. Therefore, even though it was still noon and he had just rested for a while, he did not lead the team forward again. Instead, after leaving the forest, he
, he immediately found a small depression close to the forest, facing the sun and leeward, and began to set up camp there to rest.
Before setting up camp, he gathered everyone together and told everyone in a very sincere tone that they did not need to worry about the wall of the world. They did not need to climb the mountain at all because he knew a canyon that ran directly through the entire mountain.
, you can pass through the canyon and reach the other side easily.
Barak's openness indeed saved some morale, but the people in the fleeing team still felt a little uneasy because Barak did not clearly say where the canyon was. Before they saw with their own eyes the so-called canyon that runs through the Dibia Mountains, they were very worried.
Difficult to stabilize.
Although Barak knew very well that his approach was not particularly effective in stabilizing the hearts of the people in the fleeing team, he had done everything he could, and everything could only go as it should. Fortunately, those few people were closely protected by him.
The powerful people were calmed down by his words, so his appeasement actions were not considered a complete failure.
When the escape team was setting up camp, Leo, like the previous two days, patrolled the area around the team, preparing to clear out the Black Forest monsters and dependents who gathered like flies, but what surprised him was this circle
As he walked, not only did he not find any family members or monsters, there were no traces of wild beasts walking on the ground, as if this place was a restricted area of life.
"What's going on?" Leo expanded the scope of his inspection, but after still not finding any traces of monsters, family members or beasts, he felt that something was wrong.
Later, he used mental net, psychic perception and spiritual vision to survey the surrounding environment, but he also found no abnormalities. Or to be more correct, the biggest abnormality in this place was always right in front of him, but he had ignored it before.
It was only after careful analysis that I discovered the anomaly, and the anomaly was that there was no trace of life on the ground covered with thick snow, not even a blade of grass. Under normal circumstances, this was completely unimaginable.
"What's wrong with this land?" Unable to find out the reason, Leo had to use shadows to avoid the crowd, sneaked into the camp, and asked the web weavers who were still following the escape team. After he explained the surrounding situation
After understanding the situation, he asked directly.
However, the web-spinner's face was also full of confusion, and he motioned for Leo to reach over, and then tapped his finger on the back of Leo's hand. The spider tattoo that had disappeared before reappeared, and his vision was restored again.
Changes occurred, and the world network reappeared in front of him.
However, compared to the world web above his head and the spider image on the upper level, the scene of the entire mountainous area in front of him attracted his attention more.
In the past, Leo could use the effect of spider tattoos to see the threads connecting each person's body to the world's web, but now it is not only the threads on people's bodies, but also all the plants and other life forms in the giant redwood forest not far away.
He could see clearly the threads of the entire body. These threads were densely intertwined and shot up to the sky. Under the world net he had seen before, a more dense and detailed world net was woven, and now
The web-spinners wandering this new web no longer have a human form, but a pure spider shape.
This change also made Leo understand that the world network above his head should be composed of the soul threads of every life form in the world. The level of the world network determines the biological level of the life forms in the network. In addition to the intuitive
In addition to judging the level of a living body from the height of the world network, the color displayed by the soul line possessed by a living body also shows the level of their living body. The lighter the color, the lower the level of the living body, and the darker the color.
Black, the higher the life form level.
However, in this world woven by the endless soul threads and the world network, there is a huge blank that exists very abruptly in this world, and this blank is extremely huge, almost equivalent to the entire Alfon region.
, such a huge blank space seems to be able to tear apart the world network in the sky, giving people an inexplicable sense of panic.
"What's going on?" Leo asked the same question again, but now the direction of the question had changed.
"Black... forest... forest..." The web spinner spat out a word with great difficulty.
Although the web spinner only said one word, Leo already understood what the other party meant. It was obvious that the other party wanted to say that the situation in the Black Forest was the same as here.
But Leo did not agree with this statement, because there is life in the black forest, even if those lives are no longer under the control of the web weaver, but for the time being, there is no life in the area within the Alfeng Mountains.
, this is completely different from the situation in the Black Forest.
The web spinner seemed to know what Leo was thinking from the expression on his face, and then clicked on the spider tattoo on the back of his hand.
Leo's vision changed again, the soul line, the world network and other scenes all disappeared, even the people around him disappeared, leaving only groups of shadows.
"Are these shadows formed by life?" Leo couldn't help but guess after seeing these shadows.
After hearing Leo's words, the web spinner corrected: "No... they... they... are... spirits... souls... human... nature..."
When Leo heard this, he also looked thoughtfully at the humanity of the souls around him.
I saw that most of these human souls are in the form of a drop-shaped mist, outlining a vague human shape. The periphery of the human shape is a thin layer of silver light. This layer of silver light is like a layer of protection, and also like a
Layers of confinement condense the soul's human form together and prevent it from drifting away.
Within the human nature of the soul, everyone behaves differently. Some people are completely dark, like a night without stars, and there are some bug-like things drilling holes in the black soul, which makes people feel uneasy.
There is an inexplicable feeling of nausea. This feeling of nausea directly affects the soul of the viewer. Although it is not very strong, it cannot be stopped. Faced with this feeling of nausea, even a determined person like Leo
You will also feel slightly uncomfortable, and if other ordinary people saw it, they would probably have a nervous breakdown due to the nausea.
Among these souls and humanity, not everyone is pitch black and full of bugs. In fact, the humanity of most people is gray-black, like a piece of stained white cloth. Only a few people and children
The human nature appears in gray or pure white, allowing those who see it to clearly feel the purity contained in it.
However, these human-derived souls and humanity are not the focus of Leo's vision. The focus of his vision is the souls and humanity of other creatures, because he found that places where he originally thought there were no creatures were full of all kinds of non-human beings.
The human nature of the soul, or the origin of the soul, can also be used.
Perhaps because of the low level of creatures, most of these human souls derived from trees and beasts are just a mist, without any form at all, and their interior is also a mass of gray, and this gray is not the color of the human soul.
That kind of gray has light in it, but it's pure gray, with no light revealed.
Seeing the soul humanity of animals and plants all over the area, Leo realized that there was actually life here, but they were all in another subspace that overlapped with the Velen world. People in the Velen world could not see it.
to these flora and fauna.
"Black Forest Wonderland!" Seeing this situation, Leo's mind immediately thought of what Su said about Louis X dedicating the seven mountains to the Black Forest as a hunting ground.
Before that, Leo only thought that the Black Forest monsters and the dependents left the Black Forest and entered the Dibia Mountains to hunt through the power of the contract, but the current scene made him think of another possibility, which was the Black Forest Wonderland.
Under the power of the contract, it has spread out from the Black Forest and merged with the mountains established by the contract, just like the overlapping relationship between the Black Forest Wonderland and the Black Forest.
If it is really the same as the Black Forest, then the degree of danger here is difficult to estimate. Even if Leo wants to escape from this environment, it will be very difficult, let alone these refugees now.
Leo now has no other companions to discuss countermeasures and ideas with, so he can only tell the web weaver what he is thinking now, and the web weaver seems to be very concerned about Leo's statement. After listening to Leo's words
, did not answer immediately, but entered into a trance state that looked like a daze with several other web weavers. It felt like they were discussing something with their companions on the world network through the thread connecting them.
.
Only a few minutes passed before several web weavers recovered from their trance and told Leo the results of their discussion in very simple words, saying: "Heavy... no...
Stack..."
"Coincidence, but not superposition, right?" Leo asked in confirmation after hearing this.
The web spinner nodded.
