The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1880 Seed of the Abyss

"Found it, inside the body!" Leo avoided a thorny vine tip, turned over and jumped up, the spiritual energy on his body turned into a cone, breaking the vine's steel-hard skin like a drill, and took Leo into the vine. The spiritual energy around him also blocked the blood-red sap like sulfuric acid outside his body.

When entering the building, Leo used the mental network to scan the roots of the giant vines. However, he did not find any energy crystals at the roots, and even found that the roots of the giant vines were all petrified, which was completely different from the results of his previous mental network scan.

Before, when he entered the city, he had carefully checked the situation of these giant vines with the mental network. At that time, his scan results showed that these giant vines were much larger than normal vines and had a certain amount of wisdom. In other aspects, there was not much difference from common vines. As for those spores that can cause people to fall into a hypnotic state, it is not a unique ability. In fact, many carnivorous plants have similar abilities.

However, now Leo scanned through the mental network again and found that these giant vines had undergone earth-shaking changes, such as the roots were completely petrified, the sap on the body was recognizable as sulfuric acid, and the wisdom felt at the beginning was gone, leaving only the predatory instinct. Even if Leo released the life breath of higher life forms and created high and low pressure on the life level, it could not reduce the attack desire of these giant vines by half.

The changes in the giant vines made Leo feel a little confused, but he also thought of a possible cause of this situation, that is, depending on the time, the giant vines will present two or more forms, such as now it is a predatory state, and before it was a dormant state, etc. This kind of thing is not a rare ability in plants.

Because the purpose of coming here is to find energy crystals, Leo did not waste time on the mutation of the giant vines. After not finding energy crystals at the roots of the giant vines, Leo began to look for them on the giant vines, and soon he found several parts suspected of having energy crystals.

The reason why it is called suspected is that when the mental network scanned those parts, it was like encountering a black hole. The energy of the mental network was instantly absorbed and swallowed by those parts, making Leo have no idea what was in those parts.

After finding several parts that were suspected to be energy crystals, Leo immediately came to the nearest part, then broke the skin of the giant vine, forcibly opened a passage, and came to the place that could absorb the energy of the mental network.

When he arrived at the place, Leo was also a little surprised, because that place was a spherical object formed entirely of energy crystals, and in the middle of this spherical object were perfect hexagonal containers, which looked like a honeycomb, and a monster lay in each container.

Because of the interference of the energy crystal, Leo was unable to see clearly what the monster lying in the container was at the first time, but when he looked carefully, he could not help but be stunned, and said to himself with a puzzled look: "Abyss race? Why can this plant breed abyss races?"

The monsters lying in the container were all some inferior abyss races, and many of them had not yet been fully bred. The bones, muscles, and even internal organs in the body could be seen. Everything in front of Leo felt like a breeding room in a biological experimental base of the Earth Federation.

Although Leo easily identified the types of these abyss races, his doubts did not decrease, but increased.

Because these abyss races in front of him were not of the same population, and there was no blood connection between them. Some of them could even be said to be born enemies. It was impossible for them to stay together, let alone be bred at the same time.

And more importantly, in memory, all abyss races, whether they were superior or inferior, were all bred separately within the population. I have never heard of a plant that can breed dozens of different abyss races at the same time.

Because although the origin of the Abyss races is the power of the Abyss, the manifestation of the power of the Abyss on them is very different. In addition, the law of the Abyss is the survival of the fittest. Even the same race of the Abyss races fight each other, not to mention the different races. Therefore, dozens of Abyss races gather together. Even if they do not fight each other, their powers will attack each other. Therefore, so many Abyss races are bred at the same time. Under normal circumstances, the giant vine should have been torn apart by the destructive power generated by the conflict between the powers of different Abyss races.

But in fact, this giant vine grows very well and is not affected by these inferior Abyss races that are being bred.

In addition, Leo is also curious why he can't feel any Abyss breath on this giant plant. Logically speaking, so many Abyss races are bred in it, even if they have no connection with it, just very close to it, they should also be eroded and affected by the power of the Abyss. They will never be unaffected like now, and even some mutations with Abyss characteristics are not there.

With doubts in his heart, Leo placed his hand on the energy crystal in front of him that had turned into a breeding chamber. He wanted to break the crystal and take out those abyss races that were still in the making to see if he could find any clues from them.

However, when he exerted his strength, he found that after the strength was transmitted to the energy crystal, it was immediately swallowed by the energy crystal, just like the spiritual network was swallowed when it came into contact with it.

Later, Leo used various powers again. As a result, whether it was psychic power or shaman power, as long as it was close to the energy crystal, it would be swallowed instantly, except for the power of the stone throne and the devouring power of the chaos stomach.

It was normal for Leo that the power of the stone throne would not be swallowed by the energy crystal. After all, although the devouring effect produced by this energy crystal was magical, in terms of the level of power, the energy produced by this energy crystal was not only a little bit worse than that of the stone throne, and it was also very normal for it to have no resistance to the power of the stone throne.

On the contrary, the devouring power produced by the chaos stomach actually actively devoured the power of this energy crystal in reverse, and then integrated it into the chaos stomach, which surprised Leo and even shocked him a little.

The Chaos Stomach can be said to be the earliest extraordinary power that appeared in Leo's body. Through the devouring power generated by the Chaos Stomach, Leo has transformed various complex external energies countless times. This power is also the most frequently used power by Leo, even more than psychic power.

However, the Chaos Stomach has a characteristic, that is, any power transformed by the devouring power cannot be integrated into the Chaos Stomach, and the Chaos Stomach cannot be improved through the improvement of Leo's life form. What state was it when it had the Chaos Stomach, then the Chaos Stomach is now in what state, without any change.

But now the power emitted by this energy crystal does not require any transformation, and is directly absorbed by the Chaos Stomach, and after absorbing this energy, the Chaos Stomach seems to have some changes.

Although these changes are very slight, if you don't look carefully, you can't feel it at all, but this change has never happened before, which undoubtedly also shows that this energy crystal can help the Chaos Stomach evolve.

Thinking of this, Leo didn't bother to study what the abyss race bred in this crystal was. He directly released the devouring power and actively absorbed the power contained in this energy crystal.

Although this energy crystal is very large and looks like a small warehouse, under Leo's full absorption, the crystal began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the abyss races that were being nurtured in the crystal were also disappearing rapidly, as if they were eaten by the crystal.

Perhaps because it sensed the abnormality of the crystal, the giant vines became extremely agitated, and tentacles extended from the surroundings, turning into swords and spears and poking at Leo.

However, Leo did not even dodge and let these attacks fall on him, but these attacks were all ineffective, not to mention hurting Leo, even the layer of psychic shield arranged around his body could not be broken.

In this way, the energy crystal contained by the giant vines shrank rapidly and was finally completely absorbed by Leo.

However, when the energy crystal was completely absorbed, a seed hidden in the crystal was also exposed and held in Leo's hand.

Because the energy crystal disappeared, the surrounding vines began to wither, and then quickly became wood, and in the blink of an eye, it became a dead tree.

Leo ignored the changes around him. He spread his hands and looked at the seed hidden in the energy crystal.

"Abyss Seed?" Leo said to himself with a little doubt: "Is this really the Abyss Seed?"

Generally speaking, the Abyss Seed refers to the seeds of all plant-based Abyss races. This kind of seeds has a great effect on corroding the world. When other Abyss races invade a certain world, they will carry a large number of Abyss Seeds and scatter them to various places in the invaded world, so that the Abyss Seeds can grow and eventually turn the world into the Abyss.

However, there is another kind of Abyss Seed in the Abyss. The specific content is not mentioned too much in the Abyss information Leo obtained. He just knows that in the past, a crazy Abyss Superior appeared in the Abyss. He wanted to create another Abyss, and used various methods to create a kind of Abyss Seed. With this thing, he can breed all Abyss races outside the Abyss.

It is unknown whether this Abyss Master succeeded in creating another Abyss in the end, but all the relevant information disappeared after the Abyss Master disappeared. Only the inherited memories of a few Abyss races knew that such a crazy Abyss Master had existed.

Although Leo did not think that the thing in his hand was the Abyss Seed that belonged to the Abyss Master in his memory, from the fact that this seed with a strong Abyss aura could breed so many different Abyss races under the action of special energy, this seed did have some meaning of Abyss Seed.

Leo temporarily put this seed into the storage space, and took it out after seeing Sylvia. I think Sylvia should know what it is.

After collecting the seed, Leo quickly checked the situation of the Chaos Stomach. Although it absorbed such a large piece of energy crystal, it did not bring much change to the Chaos Stomach, so Leo aimed at other energy crystals hidden in the giant vine.

In this way, Leo shuttled back and forth in the giant vines, looking for every energy crystal hidden in them to absorb, and the giant vines also attacked Leo frantically, trying to stop him, but facing the power of a demigod, the attacks of the giant vines had no effect at all.

In just half an hour, the energy crystal in a giant vine was completely absorbed by Leo, and the giant vine seemed to have lost all its vitality and turned into a dead tree. However, Leo could feel that the giant vine was not really dead. There was still a life force in its body that was supporting it tenaciously like a small flame. This life force contained a strong natural breath, which was slowly repairing the dead giant vine and turning it into a normal vine.

Feeling this life force, Leo immediately moved near it and saw a green bud growing on a dead vine. Although it looked fragile, it could feel the vitality in it.

Leo did not destroy this bud, because he felt the life breath attached to the fruit that the giant vine took out to please him before, and thought that the two should be of the same origin.

So he took out a totem pole and placed it next to the bud, and then used shamanic spells to arouse the runes on the totem pole, gradually forming a natural field full of natural power.

Perhaps it felt the benefit of the surrounding environment, the young bud swayed twice, as if to say hello to Leo.

At this moment, Leo was sure that the giant vine must have been transformed by some external force, and his method of absorbing energy crystals just eliminated the transformed part. The young bud that remained should be the original appearance of the vine. In a way, his method helped this special vine plant.

Leo did not stay any longer, and quickly left the body of the dead wood giant vine, rushing towards another building not far away that was parasitized by the giant vine.

While Leo was dealing with the giant vine, in the respective temples of the three goddesses on the top of the volcano in the inner city of New Rand, the three goddess priests who were waiting for the subordinates who were looking for the whereabouts of the savior to report back fell asleep at the same time. At the same time, they also had the same oracle dream, but the gods who gave them the oracle were different, and the content of the oracle was the same, asking them to go to Rand immediately, where the abyss vines had been purified.
