The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1547: smooth return

In the academic city, Sylvia sensed the thoughts passed by Leo through the connection with Leo's soul. Although it was only a very vague idea, it was enough for her to understand what it meant.

After Leo used the key to transmit to the wizard's tower, she did not receive any feedback from Leo. If it wasn't for the fact that she could still feel that the soul connection had always existed and had not weakened, she might have suspected that something might have happened to Leo.

However, almost a day later, she suddenly sensed a vague message from Leo, which meant that she should find a warehouse with enough space.

After receiving the information, Sylvia didn't think much about it, and immediately found Dean Thomas and asked about the warehouse.

The interior of the Xuecheng can be said to be worth every inch of land. Except for the black house, there are no other large warehouses. Although some cellars are used to store food, they are already full of various goods. Can no longer hold any items.

For this reason, Dean Thomas can only help Sylvia find a warehouse of suitable size for Sylvia in the book town outside the academy. Although he does not know why Sylvia wants a warehouse, in order to avoid the appearance of What an accident, he also specially used his authority to dispatch a group of soldiers from the nearby Kingdom Legion, and also let an elite team of fifty people join it to increase the protection of the warehouse.

And these actions of his have not concealed other people, so after setting up the protection of the warehouse, most of them have heard some rumors when they went to Xuecheng and down to the bookstore, and they all focused on the warehouse. I wondered what was in the warehouse.

Not only are they curious, even Sylvia, who is the party, is also curious about what Leo will send, because not long ago, she received the second message Leo passed on to him, indicating that he was in The place is not the wizard tower, and as for the specific place, she did not get the answer from Leo.

After that, more than ten days passed. Xuecheng also found out that Leo was not in Xuecheng, and sent Dean Thomas to inquire about the situation, and expressed their willingness to help Sylvia. Obviously they misunderstood. what.

Sylvia just smiled and declined, and clearly told Dean Thomas that Leo was in good condition and he didn't need to worry about anything.

Although Sylvia looked very calm and confident in front of people, when there was only one person, she couldn't help but have a worried look on her face. The reason why she was worried about Leo's safety was because The connection between her and Leo has become very vague since a day ago, as if there is an external force affecting this connection.

Just when Sylvia was thinking about whether she should do something, the air in front of her was suddenly filled with cracks like a shattered mirror, and then a void appeared out of nowhere, in Sylvia. Before reacting, a large amount of things poured out of the void.

In the face of this torrent of various items, Sylvia had to retreat quickly and dodge left and right, so that she was not hit by these rushing items, and these items were piled up in the blink of an eye. On the floor of the warehouse, even the items pouring out have not stopped, and they continue to pile up toward it.

Just when Sylvia thought that the warehouse might not be able to store it, the gushing items suddenly stopped, like a gate that was forcibly cut off.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Leo, who was somewhat messy, rushing out of the hole, and when he rushed out, he also condensed a thunder gun in his hand, and while rushing out, he threw it towards the empty space where he stretched out his hand.

Sylvia only saw a tentacle composed of starlight following behind Leo, drilled out of the hole, trying to catch Leo, but the moment the tentacle rushed out due to the restrictions of the world law, the power contained in it. Just as the rapid weakening, the movement became extremely slow, and it was easily hit by the thunder gun that Leo threw in the past.

Immediately afterwards, a black thunderball was seen wrapping the tentacles, the tentacles and the space behind them collapsed instantly, and the thunderball also collapsed and disappeared at the same time.

"Ms. Sylvia! Ms. Sylvia! Are you alright!" At this moment, the guards who heard the movement in the warehouse knocked on the warehouse door and asked anxiously.

"It's okay, I'm okay." Sylvia responded loudly, and then asked Leo: "What was that just now?"

"The guy who seeks a life in the junkyard." Leo responded vaguely, in fact, until now, he has not figured out what this space creature is.

Just now, Leo used the power of nightmare to imitate the scanning raster of this warp creature. It seemed that he had escaped the creature's search. Leo, a rare prey, looks like he has left, but in fact he left some special substances similar to starlight in the area where Leo is, as long as Leo touches these substances, he will immediately. It was sensed by him, and when he left these obvious trigger traps, he also secretly left other trigger traps.

In fact, when he saw this warp creature leaving a trigger trap, Leo felt a little incredible, because according to all the information about warp creatures he knew, without exception, there was a fully confirmed law mentioned. , that is, the warp creatures do not have any intelligence. They are more like single cells that have been enhanced countless times. They just instinctively attack any alien life form that breaks into the warp, just like the human white blood cells attack those foreign bacteria. .

However, now this warp creature even knows how to set trigger traps after searching for prey to no avail, which means that the law about warp creatures that he knew back then has expired, and the warp creatures already have wisdom, at least It's hunting wisdom.

In this case, Leo also became a lot more cautious. After waiting for a long time and using other means to determine that the warp creatures had left, he flew out from the hiding place and carefully avoided every Trigger the trap like a spot of light, and slowly fly back to the Overlord-class battleship.

However, what Leo could not have imagined was that the warp creatures were smarter than he thought, knowing how to use strategic tactics to use those light spot traps that were placed in the light as eye-catching bait, and the real trigger traps were those hidden in the Hidden traps in every corner.

After Leo returned to the battleship, he involuntarily relaxed his emotions and touched the trap unknowingly.

The moment he touched the trap, Leo knew that things were going bad, so he didn't care whether the universal recorder had cracked the battleship's master control system, and regardless of whether the database had been downloaded, he removed the universal recorder and cut off the connection. , and then flew out of the spaceship at the fastest speed, came to the pile of items he collected, followed by breaking the space rift, and stuffed himself and the pile of items into the rift at the fastest speed.

At the moment of entering the rift, Leo clearly felt an extremely powerful energy storm appearing around the space rift at an indescribably fast speed, and at the same time, the warp creatures that had been attracted by the trigger traps also One head plunged into the storm, and when it was torn by the storm, it still rushed towards Leo, and the tentacles at the forefront chased Leo directly into the already extremely unstable space crack, and finally It became the scene just now.

Leo's use of the thunder gun just now may be a bit redundant, because even if he does not use the thunder gun to block, the tentacle will be cut off due to the collapse of the space crack, maybe he can still pick up an experimental material for nothing.

Now that it is safe, Leo also began to calmly think about this warp creature, or whether this is a warp creature.

Although, when he saw the warp creatures set up triggering traps just now, he doubted the laws of various civilizations in the universe that the warp creatures only have hunting instincts and no wisdom, but now after calming down and carefully recalling what just happened, he Readjusted the object of suspicion, no longer doubting the authenticity of the law, but doubting whether the thing just now was really a warp creature.

It may still be possible for a higher civilization to get the characteristics of warp creatures wrong, but the entire higher civilization, even those powerful beings in the Supreme Council of the universe, have gotten this wrong. Obviously, the probability is infinitely close to zero, compared to an infinite The possibility is close to zero. It is more likely that the existence just now is not a warp creature, but a powerful cosmic life.

At this time, Sylvia's attention was also shifted to the various objects that were piled up around her. I saw that she picked up what looked like some kind of wooden cylinder. After looking at it, she didn't see any clues. He put the things on the ground, and then asked Leo, who was looking contemplative: "What have you encountered in the past ten days, why haven't you been in touch?"

"Ten days? Has it been more than ten days?" Leo was stunned and said, "I only stayed in that vacuum of ruins for more than ten hours."

As he spoke, Leo called out the timing module of the universal recorder and showed it to Sylvia. As Leo said, only a dozen hours have passed since the above timing.

Sylvia didn't show much surprise about this. She had heard Leo mentioned before that there would be a gap in the flow of time between different worlds, just like there is a big gap between the time in this world and the world of Velen. .

Sylvia questioned: "Didn't you go to the wizard's tower? How did you go to that ruined vacuum?"

After Leo heard it, he carefully told Sylvia what happened before.

After listening, Sylvia became interested and asked, "Can you still go back to that ruin?"

Leo didn't answer immediately, but carefully sensed the mark he left in the vacuum of the subspace, then sighed, shook his head, and said, "I can feel the existence of the mark, but I can't determine the location, and I can't determine the position from the subspace. It is far less difficult to open a space rift to return here than to open a rift from here to the subspace, and even if I can determine the direction with my current strength, I’m afraid I can’t open a space rift.”

Sylvia was disappointed after hearing this, and then asked, "Where's the Wizard's Tower? Can you still go to the Wizard's Tower?"

"This is no problem." Leo took out the key of the wizard's tower and said: "Now the counter trap inside has been completely lifted, and I should be able to reach the wizard's tower next time."

Sylvia thought for a while and said, "In this case, what if you open a space rift from the wizard's tower to that warp ruin? Would it be easier than here?"

Lei Ou was stunned for a while after hearing the words, then he thought about it seriously, nodded, and admitted: "It should be easier for you to be right, after all, the wizard's tower is only a half plane, and the barrier of the world's power structure is far from impossible. Compared with this world, not only the demi-plane where the wizard's tower is located, but also the demi-plane where the Belmont family castle is located."

"If that's the case, then you can take it with you next time." Sylvia said solemnly.

Leo frowned and said, "It would be very dangerous to do so."

"I know." Sylvia nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "The starlight tentacle that came out with you just now made me feel hungry, I, no, should say that my bloodline wants to eat him. "

"Want to eat him?" Leo felt a little puzzled, but he quickly thought of something and asked, "Is he an abyss superior?"

Through the inheritance memory of the abyss, Leo knew that the fastest and most effective way for the abyss superiors to improve the origin of the bloodline is to devour other abyss superiors, so it can make Sylvia feel hungry, and there is an unknown existence that desires to devour , it is very likely that he will be an abyss superior.

Facing Leo's inquiry, Sylvia hesitated for a moment, shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't know this either. There is no information about this abyss upper race in my memory. He is more like..."

Sylvia stopped here, and when Leo saw this, he asked, "What is more like?"

"It's more like a race that has been destroyed. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Sylvia didn't just say it, she just explained vaguely, and then she didn't want to continue the topic.

Leo didn't understand which race Sylvia was talking about was destroyed, because under the erosion of the abyss, a large number of worlds fell into the abyss. With the destruction of these worlds, countless races, and even the various races inside the abyss. The expedition and slaughter have never subsided, and the destroyed races will not be much less than those in those worlds, so a single destroyed race is not a clue at all.

"What about these things?" Sylvia shifted the topic deliberately, pointing to the various items that had piled up in the entire warehouse, and asked.

Leo looked at the things around him and felt that he had collected too many things. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "The two of us can't do so much work, we need to recruit people, I believe Xuecheng should be very willing to send someone to help."

After making the decision, Sylvia instructed the guards outside the warehouse to call Dean Thomas over, and Dean Thomas came to the warehouse. After seeing everything in front of him, he could no longer use shock to describe his mood swings. Fright, terror, or shock are more appropriate.
