Leo did not rush out to deal with these monsters, but walked to the door, crouched down and drew a Turing root with runes on the door, then injected psychic energy and retreated to the back of the house.

The incense-burning and dog-like monsters at the door that can only be seen through spiritual vision are more like real hunters. They are not in a hurry to kill their prey, but walk around the prey with their hounds, using their sounds to create a terrifying atmosphere.

, disturbing the prey's emotions and waiting for the prey to reveal its flaws.

However, Leo, the prey, did not rush out of the house as they thought, which made many of the methods they prepared useless.

After wandering outside the house for a while, some of the people holding lanterns and lighting incense rhythmically hit the ground with their canes, while others shook the lanterns in their hands in harmony. It felt like they were performing some kind of ritual, or using a certain method.

A coded gesture.

At this time, the dog-like monsters suddenly became quiet. They all lowered their bodies and clasped their limbs to the ground. Their bodies were shaking violently, as if something was about to emerge from their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, the intertwined limbs of these monster dogs were seen to expand rapidly, the forelimbs were raised, and the hind limbs stood up, turning into an upright dog monster, and mouths squeezed out from its body, all over the body,

It looks extremely scary.

After all the transformations of these dog monsters were completed, all the people holding lamps and lighting incense uniformly raised their canes and chopped them hard on the ground.

As if they had received a signal, those dog monsters rushed towards the small house. Their powerful bodies directly smashed through the already tattered wooden wall and rushed into the small house.

However, before these dog monsters could find their target, the magic circle that combined runes and Turing roots that Leo had drawn on the ground immediately burst out with flame-like light. No matter where the fire light swept,

Still outside the range, all the dog monsters burned up and turned into a pile of ashes before they could even scream.

The power of this flame has not ended yet. After all the dog monsters were burned to ashes, it immediately expanded outward like an infectious disease. The surrounding people who were still in shock with lamps and incense burners were all ignited and burned rapidly.

. However, compared to the previous dog monsters, the burning process of these lamp-lighters was much slower. Moreover, these lamp-lighters not only did not struggle painfully, but appeared to be very calm.

When the flames burned away the masks that covered their faces, these people holding lanterns and lighting incense revealed the faces of ordinary people, and these faces showed expressions of relief, as if the flames burning on their bodies were helping them to escape.

.

After all the people holding lanterns and lighting incense were reduced to ashes, only a pile of palms and lanterns were left on the ground.

Leo walked out from the depths of the room, stood next to the rune magic array, squatted down, and grabbed it in the air above the rune magic array. It looked like he had grabbed something, and he picked it up and put it in front of his eyes.

Under Leo's spiritual vision, he saw a ball of white light gathering in his hand, and he could clearly feel the warmth emanating from this ball of white light. That warmth was not physical warmth, but spiritual, even spiritual.

The deeper souls also feel that kind of warmth. Under this kind of warmth, people can't help but feel an unusually calm emotion.

This is a by-product of the soul bonfire witchcraft. The function of the soul bonfire witchcraft is very single, only targeting the soul itself, but the effect is very amazing. Leo has also used it before, and after using it, he can always find some from the ashes.

High-energy substances such as soul crystal fragments, but after being used like this, the condensed soul fragments turned out to be such a large ball of light, which really puzzled him.

Just like other soul fragments, without any processing, the power contained in the light ball is also dissipating outwards. Seeing that the light ball is rapidly weakening and shrinking, Leo decides to use it. As for the method of use, naturally

Just like soul fragments, just crush them.

The light ball was very fragile. Leo squeezed it with just a little force, and the light ball completely shattered and turned into countless light spots that poured into Leo's body. Leo felt that the warmth melted into his soul, and the physical and mental exhaustion

Under the warm wash, it gradually weakened and disappeared, just like the use of combat hormones when you felt tired in battle.

Leo has used soul fragments before, but the effect of the soul fragments is obviously not comparable to this kind of light ball. It is obvious that those people who were burned by the soul bonfire were not ordinary people with lanterns and incense.

Thinking of this, Leo recalled the faces of those who were holding lamps and lighting incense at the last moment. Although Leo didn't recognize the faces of most of them, Leo recognized two of them because he had read them in a book.

I have seen these two faces in history books.

These two faces belong to Joey Wilson, the first fleet governor of the Kingdom of England, and the other face is more famous, it is Franco Berber, the naval hero of the Sigma Empire, and the Sigma Invincible Battleship Franco is

Named after him.

The portraits of these two people were engraved in the Velen Ocean History and other historical books. The portraits were drawn by the best painter at the time according to their true appearance in a one-to-one ratio, which is why Leo was able to identify them so quickly.

.

Without exception, these two maritime heroes died in shipwrecks, and their bodies were never found. Who would have thought that these two world-famous figures would become lamplighters here.

Although Leo still didn't know the identities of the other people who carried lanterns and lit incense, since they could stand with these two sea heroes, they must have high status, so they should all be famous figures in their own fields.

"Having a great reputation in the world, he is also a true hero. The soul fragments burned in the soul bonfire will be more complete and more effective." Thinking of this, Leo also had the answer in his heart.

Leo was thinking as he walked to the pile of burned ashes and picked up a cane and lantern on the ground. He discovered that although the cane and lantern looked metallic on the outside, they were actually made of bones.

The surface of the cane is covered with patterns full of mysterious meanings, and the flame in the lantern burns slowly without any fuel. No matter how you look at it, these two items are extraordinary.

However, before Leo could study these two items in detail, the two items in his hand and all the canes and lanterns left on the ground were all petrified. In the blink of an eye, they turned into stones, and the flames in the lanterns

It also petrified into a flaming stone as if it had turned into a real object.

Not only were his palms and lantern completely petrified, Leo found that the surface of his clothes and fingernails also began to show signs of petrification.

Leo thought that the petrified walking sticks and lanterns might have caused this phenomenon, so he immediately threw away these two items and quickly moved away from where the petrified walking sticks and lanterns fell.

But the problem is, even if he does this, the signs of petrification on the surface of his nails and clothes have not weakened, and are still spreading slowly.

This situation made Leo immediately realize that he had made the wrong judgment. The reason why he was petrified was not the cane and the lantern, but the power surrounding him that he could not feel.

At this moment, signs of petrification covered Leo's entire nail surface, and began to come into contact with the flesh under his nails and the surrounding skin.

The spiritual energy in Leo's body reacted automatically and poured into Leo's fingers to expel this foreign force. However, this foreign petrified force did not have a strong resistance and was quickly dispelled by the spiritual energy.

, and the signs of petrification on his body have also faded, but the power of petrification has not disappeared. Once Leo's spiritual energy is recovered, the power of petrification will work on him again.

After discovering this situation, Leo immediately thought of the lantern-lighting incense man and the dog monster that he had solved before. Obviously, the emergence of the power of petrification was related to this incident, and the lantern-lighting incense man was controlled by the Yamu people, so

This petrifying power must also be related to the Yam people.

So Leo jumped onto a tall stone house and looked around. Although the gray fog obscured his sight, his spiritual vision could still work. He could penetrate the obstruction of the gray fog and see the psychic energy on the surrounding towers.

Fluctuations, he soon discovered that the spiritual energy fluctuations on a high tower were very strong. It was obvious that some ceremony should be performed there, and the location of that high tower happened to be near the Giant's Gate.

After finding a target, Leo didn't care whether the target was really related to the petrification power that permeated the surroundings, so he rushed over there from the roof. When he encountered some spacious streets, he did not jump from the stone house.

Instead, he jumped more than a hundred meters in a way that exceeded human limits and landed on the roof he wanted to go to.

Leo did not rely on spiritual energy, witchcraft, or the power of his physical body to complete this action. Although his physical body has evolved, it is not difficult to jump a hundred meters, but in this case, the force of the soles of his feet will definitely affect everything under his feet.

The object causes damage due to reaction force, and it can never be so light when it lands, just like a feather.

The power that helped Leo make this kind of jumping actually came from the divine mark placed on him by the victim just now. When his spirit came into contact with this divine mark, the same method of performing magic as other divine marks was also instilled in him.

When it came to his mind, the magic given by the victim was very special. It actually gave him extra running speed, jumping span and dodge agility, which also gave him extra strength and achievements in his legs, just like he used spiritual vision.

It's the same as strengthening your sight.

For this kind of magic that is not a direct attack, but improves one's own quality as a whole, Leo doesn't have much rejection in his heart, because it will make his battle easier. And why does the victim have such a magic? I don't think so.

There is nothing surprising. After all, most of the followers of the victims are refugees of various kinds. They have to travel every day. Some obstacles can only be jumped over by themselves, and some unexpected attacks must be avoided. Therefore, this kind of magic is very useful for those who

It is of great help to refugees.

On the way, Leo didn't spend too long, even though he encountered some weird-looking and terrifying monsters wandering the streets, and there were also some ordinary people hiding in stone houses whose bodies were parasitized but had not mutated.

He had no intention of helping because he already knew very well that these parasites, who looked no different from living people, were actually dead people who had been rented by certain powers and given bodies.

When he came to the houses outside the White Tower, Leo was stunned because he saw that the appearance of this high tower and its surrounding stone houses was very similar to the shelters he had seen in the other world. The only difference was that it looked older.

Some of the walls are covered with pitted scars, and the heads of monsters and humans are hung on the surrounding sharp feet. The blood stains have dyed the surrounding ground dark red, and like all slaughterhouses, here

It was also filled with the stench of decay and a suffocating smell of blood.

Because of the rental of the psychic suppressor, Leo was unable to use the mental network to explore the internal situation here, but through his extraordinary hearing, smell and vision, Leo was still able to tell that there were no living creatures in the stone houses around the tower.

.

After discovering this, Leo boldly jumped off the roof, stepped on the thick layer of nearly dried blood underneath, deftly avoided all the spikes on the road lined with spikes, and pushed away all the bones.

The door was built and walked in.

After entering the stone house, the situation inside is completely different from the outside. There is no smell of blood or any disgusting odor, and the ground is neat and clean. Like the shelter, a large number of houses have been built here, and all the houses can be

Shelter found the same one.

In addition to ordinary houses, there are also plantations and forging workshops, but nothing is planted in the plantations, and there is no flame in the furnace of the forging workshop. The most peculiar thing is that in the stone houses around the entire tower, there are no

A person, completely empty and without any trace of human life.

"It's been strengthened." When Leo entered the stone house, he was not attracted by the scene that was exactly the same as the shelter. Instead, he looked at the petrified nails and sleeves that had reappeared.

Although he couldn't really feel this power, judging from the signs of petrification on his body, it was obvious that the petrification power here was much stronger than outside, which also proved that he was not looking in the wrong place.

After confirming the location, Leo immediately went to where the tower was. The journey took a very short time, and he soon stood outside the door of the tower.

The tower door of the shelter is an iron door with no decorations on it and is extremely plain. However, the tower door that appears in Leo's eyes now is made of bronze and is covered with various dents and scratches.

, and the shape of the gate was also distorted. It looked like there were many people with weapons attacking the gate.

Because the door had been twisted and deformed, a crack opened in the middle. Leo slipped directly through the gap and entered the tower. The moment he entered the tower, the petrified power falling on him strengthened again, and he
Chapter completed!
