The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1723: trail of intelligent beings

Latest website: Although Sylvia is also interested in the unknown creatures that left traces on the ground, she has not fully digested the divinity in the corpse of the god, and she cannot leave the ruins for the time being. Capture the breath, and later track this unknown creature through the breath of life.

In addition, there is another very important thing, which Leo and Sylvia only found out recently, and it was in an inadvertent communication of consciousness that they casually mentioned it, which made them discover that it had been ignored before, but in fact But the most important thing is that the two of them are in a zone with a completely different day and night cycle.

Like Leo, the time recorded by the general-purpose recorder is about 347 hours, 41 minutes and 12 seconds to complete a day and night change, and it does not change from day to night slowly like in the normal world , but the day and night change is completed in an instant, and the temperature will also complete the change within ten minutes at the same time. How high the temperature is during the day, and how low the temperature is at night.

On the other hand, Sylvia's day and night cycle is very normal, and it operates according to the normal world's day and night cycle time. Even the temperature of Sylvia's environment is not as extreme as that of Leo's, only slightly higher than that of the normal world. The temperature is slightly higher.

And the weirdest thing is that the environment is so different. Judging by common sense, the creatures inhabiting the two places should also be affected by the environment, resulting in a huge difference, but in fact, the biological differences between the two places are very small. , There are also thousand-meter giant trees growing on Sylvia's side, and they also inhabit different types of giant insects. It is precisely because of this reason that Leo and Sylvia have always been together during the half-year communication. In the illusion that each other's environment is the same, they did not find that there is such a big difference between each other's environments.

In this regard, Sylvia speculated whether it was due to the impact of the giant footprints or the residual power of the god's corpse. This guess was quickly denied by Leo, because even if there was an impact, it should only affect the climate, pressure, etc. The environmental factors are correct, and should not affect the day and night cycle of a world. Now the day and night cycle of their two places gives people the feeling that they are completely two worlds.

Although the environment is a bit abnormal, with the abilities of the two, there is no danger in each other's territory, so there is no plan to leave and meet up for the time being, and each of them will increase their strength in their own way.

"Huh!" As usual, Leo tried to get closer to the footprints and felt stronger gravity, then returned to the ruins to sort out the harvest this time, and healed some minor injuries caused by gravity by the way. After collecting some data related to gravity in the depths of the footprints, I suddenly heard an abnormal sound coming from the surroundings.

In the past six months, Leo has been in control of all kinds of movements around him, such as the sound of shaking trees, the cry of giant insects and strange birds in the distance, etc., and it may be because of the special environment. For half a year, he found that there were no new abnormal noises around him. He seemed to be used to all the movements around him, so when there was a trace of abnormal noise that he had never heard before, he was very keen to catch it, but this abnormal noise But it was very faint, so faint that even he needed to concentrate to barely hear it.

The sudden abnormal noise undoubtedly indicated that there should be something new in the surrounding land that hadn't appeared before, and this thing could still move. Leo immediately controlled the gravity and let himself fly into the air to look around.

However, what disappointed him was that he looked into the distance with his eyes and found nothing unusual, but he never gave up, because the strange sound was getting louder and louder in his ears, and he could hear it even if he didn't concentrate. Clearly, it felt like something making strange noises was getting closer to him.

Just when Leo was wondering where the strange noise came from, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately looked up into the sky.

The clear and cloudless sky gave Leo an excellent view. He could easily see all the sights in the sky, and he quickly discovered the abnormality of the sky.

I saw that at the very high altitude far away from him, which may have reached a place outside the atmosphere, there was a transparent phantom created by an obvious light and shadow camouflage technology floating in the air, moving towards this side at a very slow speed. close.

According to Leo's analysis of the area covered by the transparent phantom, the size of the transparent phantom may be about four or five times the size of the ruins covered by the footprints below, which means that the transparent phantom can enclose a huge city.

"Is it the floating city?" A guess immediately appeared in Leo's mind. Although he hadn't looked at the transparent phantom up close, and his sight couldn't see through the transparent phantom to see clearly, he felt that he The guess should be correct.

For Leo, the floating city is not a strange thing, the only thing that needs to be clarified is what kind of technology is used in this floating city, whether it is extraordinary power or technology.

Leo was not in a hurry to fly towards the transparent phantom, because he could see that the transparent phantom was flying towards where he was. It seemed that if it hadn't just passed by here, then the huge object wrapped by the transparent phantom should be Came here for this footprint.

Faced with this situation, Leo naturally chose to sit on the sidelines. He fell back to the ground and quickly cleaned up the traces of life in the ruins for the past six months, trying to restore the ruins to their original appearance. Then he boarded the ruins. On the higher mountainside, I found a hidden place overlooking the entire footprint ruins and sat down without being discovered by others.

During the waiting time, Leo contacted Sylvia and told Sylvia what happened here. Things were told to Leo.

She did not find traces of activities that might be intelligent creatures like Leo did, but found that the queen of the giant swarm near her seemed to be evolving. It would be fine if it was just evolving, but this queen evolved There will be a smell on one side, which will not cause any harm to her, but it will make the giant worms around them extremely anxious and aggressive, and there are even times when the giant worms ignore the life of the corpses of the gods The form was suppressed, and it directly clashed into the ruins where the corpses of the gods were, turning this place into a battlefield for several swarms of insects.

With Sylvia's strength, it is difficult for ordinary giant insects to pose a threat to her. Once the number of extremely aggressive insects in the swarm increases to a certain number, then she also needs to be careful, so she considers whether she should During this period of evolution of the queen, she hid to avoid the aggressive commotion of the giant worms.

Although Sylvia seemed to be asking for Leo's opinion, Leo knew that Sylvia should have made a decision, so he didn't give the other party any advice, but told the other party to be careful and avoid Dangerous, and then stopped this contact.

Although it looked like the transparent phantom was moving very slowly from a distance, it was actually moving very fast. It took almost only a few hours to reach the sky above the mountain where the footprints were, and then just as Leo said. It stopped like that.

Because it moved from a high altitude, the object wrapped in the transparent phantom perfectly avoided the strange birds densely covered in the sky, and because of the footprints, the strange birds in the sky did not dare to enter the sky above the mountain. This area can be said to be very safe.

It's just that the object wrapped in the transparent phantom seems to be thinking about something, and it seems to be waiting for an opportunity, so it just hovers in the air without any movement.

Leo below is not in a hurry, because he knows very well that since the transparent phantom above his head has come here, it will definitely not just be suspended in the air for a while, and there must be other things to do, he just needs to wait up.

While waiting, Leo also carefully checked and analyzed the transparent phantom suspended in the air. As he guessed, the transparent phantom of the sky is a layer of camouflage artificially created, and after careful analysis, he can confirm that this layer Camouflage should have nothing to do with technology, it should be derived from extraordinary power, and its method is very simple, that is, to capture the scene of the surrounding sky in the way of spatial refraction and cover it on the outermost layer, forming a nearly transparent camouflage.

Although the method is very simple, it is very difficult to implement it. It requires a certain grasp of space and other forces. Now Leo knows that there is a force that can do this, and that is the gravity generated by the footprints. A sufficiently strong gravity is enough to distort the space and form the refraction of space images, resulting in this almost transparent stealth camouflage effect.

All kinds of clues allowed Leo to be sure that no matter what was inside the transparent invisibility camouflage, the other party should have studied the gravity contained in this footprint for a long time, and created a set of application methods, and this time it should also be for research Gravity in footprints.

While making a guess, Leo was also curious about what was inside the transparent camouflage, but he couldn't use the mental net to perceive the situation in the phantom now, because once he cast the spiritual net, it would inevitably cause very large power fluctuations, then He was also exposed, and his spiritual vision ability was completely ineffective against the transparent camouflage formed by the gravity-distorted space, and could not penetrate this camouflage at all.

Therefore, after making several attempts not to reveal himself, Leo gave up looking at the things behind the transparent phantom, but continued to hide his figure, waiting for the other party's next reaction.

Then three days passed in the normal world. During this time, Leo encountered seven scanning gratings projected from the transparent camouflage. These seven gratings covered the entire mountain surface where the footprints were located, and there should be no dead ends. Scan for hazards in the alpine range.

From this, Leo couldn't help guessing that the thing behind the transparent phantom might not be as powerful as he first expected, otherwise, he shouldn't be so cautious. After all, under the image of the footprints, there is nothing in the mountain range. Powerful creatures inhabit here, and the nearby giant worms are only a little dangerous. As long as they don't encounter giant worms of the leader level, generally people with extraordinary power and weapons can deal with the attacks of such giant worms. What danger.

Just when Leo was wondering whether the things behind the transparent phantom were strong or weak, the alternation of day and night happened again, the sky darkened instantly, and the air gradually became colder. The danger of insect predation fell on the canopy of the big trees below, waiting for the next day and night. In the forest on the earth, except for a few giant insects that could withstand the cold in the middle of the night, all the other giant insects penetrated into the rotting ground. In the soil, the heat generated by the humus methane is used to resist the suddenly cold environment.

At this time, the transparent phantom that had been hovering in the sky for a long time suddenly disappeared, revealing what was behind the phantom.

As Leo guessed, the phantom camouflage wrapped is indeed a city, but this city is very special, it is built on the back of a transparent giant jellyfish, and this giant jellyfish does not know whether it is owned by itself or acquired by someone. All in all, it has an extremely powerful anti-gravity field, which is strong enough to drag a city, and a giant jellyfish whose body is not much smaller than a mountain is suspended in the air, just like jellyfish floating in the ocean.

The moment he saw the giant jellyfish, Leo immediately thought of Sylvia's discovery, so he contacted Sylvia immediately, and passed on the shape of the giant jellyfish he saw.

After receiving the information about the appearance of the giant jellyfish, Sylvia immediately determined that the giant jellyfish resembled the unknown creature whose skeleton had not completely decomposed, except that the size and number of tentacles were quite different. It can still be judged from the main structure that the two should be the same type of creature.

Just as Leo and Sylvia were communicating about the giant jellyfish and the city on their backs, an object that looked like a shuttle flew out of the city, bypassing the jellyfish below, and headed towards the footprints. The ruins fell, and quickly fell to the ground.

As the hatch of the shuttle opened ~lightnovelpub.net~ Leo saw more than a dozen humanoid figures in strange costumes, holding various items in their hands, coming out of the shuttle and stopping at the The periphery of the ruins.

I saw that these humanoid creatures are much taller than normal humans. The shortest ones are nearly three meters tall, and the tallest are even about five meters tall. Although they are tall, they are very slender, and they feel that a gust of wind can Like blowing them down.

In addition, they have three pairs of arms, and each pair of arms wears metal rings with different patterns. From the material and pattern shape of the metal rings, their status can be judged, and in addition to the decoration of the metal ring, their status can be distinguished In addition, the number of their eyes should also be a criterion for judging their status.

I saw that these humanoid creatures have a human face, but their heads are much longer than humans, it feels like the human skull has been forcibly elongated, and their eyes are not only one pair, but There are many pairs, and the one with the most eyes should be the one with the highest status. Among them is a humanoid creature with seven pairs of eyes on its head, surrounded by other humanoid creatures, and other humanoid creatures talk to it very respectfully. .
