Chapter 1916 On the Road to the Abyss

Hearing the screams from behind, Leo showed a slight smile on his face. Since the Black Swamp, he had noticed that the Abyss Snakes were following him in secret, and they were following him openly, not afraid of him noticing, so he had to keep his nerves tense and be alert all the time.

When he had a conflict with the Abyss Snake just now, the Abyss Snakes that were following him also moved to a very close distance, forcing him to divide part of his attention to guard against sneak attacks, so he could only use the Demigod Abyss Vine to deal with the Abyss Snake, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

So, when he left just now, he found that the Abyss Snakes' attention was focused on other places, not on him, so he took the opportunity to use the Thunder Gun to teach the Abyss Snakes a lesson and warn them at the same time.

Although the lightning spear was condensed for a short time and its power was incomplete, he mixed the power of the divine punishment mark in the lightning spear, and the power it finally showed was surprisingly good. The lightning containing the power of divine punishment not only tore the land of the abyss, but also caused considerable damage to the abyss snakes. The only flaw was that the power of the divine punishment mark recovered very slowly after use, which might be related to the environment in the abyss.

After giving the abyss snake a warning, Leo felt that he would not have any trouble for the time being, so he chased after the intelligent creature convoy that was moving away from the dense forest.

On the way before, Leo tried to sense Sylvia's position. Unfortunately, although he could sense Sylvia's existence, his perception of her specific position was extremely vague. It seemed that there was a force deliberately interfering. Thinking of the environment of the abyss, he felt that this power that interfered with perception should come from Sylvia herself.

Leo did not forcefully sense Sylvia's position through the connection between his soul and Sylvia's, because in the abyss, doing so would be like placing a delicious meal on the table of hungry diners, which would attract countless greedy and hungry covetousness.

Leo spent about three months in the normal world to get out of the Black Swamp. Although he was traveling at the fastest speed throughout the journey, the area of ​​the Black Swamp was much larger than he expected, and the most troublesome thing was that the geographical environment here would also change with the change of time, that is to say, the space here was completely chaotic. Maybe he walked thousands of kilometers the day before, but he would find himself back to the same place the next day. He took a lot of detours for this reason.

At first, he thought it was the Abyss Snakes that followed him that were causing trouble, but later he found out that it had nothing to do with the Abyss Snakes. The disordered and chaotic changes in the geographical environment were actually caused by the Abyss Chaos Law. He searched through all the information related to the Abyss and found no solution.

It was not until he threatened the Abyss Snakes and used the method of possession to penetrate the power of the Crystalline Snake through his body, turning himself into a Crystalline Snake, that he found out that the Chaos Law of this geographical environment was completely aimed at those outsiders polluted by the Abyss, and those races that were native to the Abyss and those outsiders that were polluted to a certain extent by the Abyss were immune to the spatial dislocation caused by the Chaos Law.

At the same time, he also understood why the Abyss Snakes that followed him became restless after he repeatedly encountered spatial chaos, because the Abyss Snakes realized that he might be an outsider. However, when he turned into a crystal snake, the power of the Abyss Superior became the best proof, which made most of the Abyss Snakes that followed him choose to withdraw and retreat. Only three Abyss Snakes still doubted his identity and followed him out of the Black Swamp.

The environment of each region in the Abyss World is very different. For example, the Black Swamp is full of strong Abyss breath. Every living thing there will constantly recite blasphemous mutterings to the outsiders in it, and these blasphemous mutterings are not heard by the ears, but are directly transmitted to the spirit, the depths of the soul. Once the mutterings are not carefully bewitched, then a blasphemous mark will be imprinted in the soul. Such a blasphemous mark will not immediately harm the imprinted person, but will constantly create various blasphemous forces, pollute the soul, and eventually make the imprinter completely corrupted.

However, the Abyss Serpents in the Black Swamp are immune to this kind of blasphemous muttering. The blasphemous mark formed by this kind of blasphemous muttering is the best spiritual food for them. Therefore, the Abyss Serpents often capture some Abyss creatures, or those intelligent creatures in the fragments of the fallen world controlled by them, and throw them into the Black Swamp to let them be polluted by the blasphemous muttering, produce blasphemous marks, and then sacrifice them to themselves.

This blasphemous mark is also good for the Crystal Serpent. After discovering this, Leo directly let himself receive the blasphemous muttering, forming a blasphemous mark, and then let the power of the Crystal Serpent directly devour it. After growing up for more than three months, the Abyss power in the Crystal Serpent's body has increased by more than a little with the help of the blasphemous mark. The most obvious feature is that the stone pillars of the Crystal Serpent in the Stone Pillar Square have been completely formed from the column head to the column body and then to the column base. If the blasphemous mark is not helpful to the Crystal Serpent, maybe Leo will stay in the Black Swamp for a while.

Compared with the Black Swamp, the abyss wasteland where Leo is now is a different situation. It is extremely desolate here, with no plants to be seen, only small stones and gravel. The abyss breath surrounding it is not very strong. Of course, this is not very strong relative to the Black Forest and the dense forest before.

It seems that there is no danger in this abyss wasteland, but in fact, the danger of this wasteland is everywhere, and this danger is the sun above the head.

In Leo's abyss data, there is no such thing as the sun in the abyss. There is no sun in the sky in the black swamp and the dense forest before. As long as you enter this wasteland, you can see the sun above your head, and this sun is actually an abyss superior, an abyss superior with the strength of a true god.

Leo's psychic ability can see that this so-called sun is actually a constantly wriggling meat ball. The sun's light is actually a gas emitted by the meat ball. This gas burns in the air to form a strong light, and the flames produced by the burning will not hurt the meat ball.

Although this light feels very similar to sunlight, it can also produce a warm feeling when shining on people, and make people feel inexplicably at ease, but in fact, when these lights are irradiated, the irradiated person will automatically sacrifice to the disguised sun in the sky from the body to the soul, and the sacrifice will continue until the irradiated person dies completely, so no living things can be seen in this wasteland.

It is also for this reason that as long as a method can be found to resist this passive light sacrifice, it is very safe to move in this wasteland. The team of intelligent creatures that Leo is following now seems to have found this method.

With Leo's speed, he quickly caught up with the team, but he did not rashly communicate with the intelligent creatures of the team. Instead, he followed from a distance and listened to their conversations and explored their language through extraordinary perception.

The intelligent creatures in this team are not human. They are more like some kind of reptiles. Their heads look like lizards, with two legs, two pairs of arms, three pairs, and even four pairs. The more arms, the longer the upper body, which looks very weird.

In the abyss, there are creatures of all kinds of weird shapes. The intelligent creatures in this team are not very weird in appearance, and can even be regarded as normal in appearance. What really attracts Leo's attention is the mechas worn by these intelligent creatures and the weapons in their hands.

The mechas on these intelligent creatures are very similar to the industrial mining mechas used on the mineral planets of the Earth Federation. Although these mechas have now been activated with flesh and blood due to some unknown force, so that users can wear them perfectly, from the overall appearance, it is obvious that the original form of this mecha does not conform to the appearance of those intelligent creatures. For example, the most significant appearance defect is that these mechas have only one pair of arms, but those intelligent creatures have multiple pairs of arms.

In addition, the weapons in the hands of these intelligent creatures are either pulse energy drills for mining or strong particle high-frequency knives for cutting. No matter how you look at it, Leo feels that these intelligent creatures have obtained some technological products from the mining planets of the Earth humans, and then modified them into a form that they can use.

Later, Leo was also convinced that his bold guess was correct, because when he was learning the language of these intelligent creatures, he found that the language used by these intelligent creatures was more like a common language of the Earth Federation with dialects and special vocal organs.

After mastering the language of these intelligent creatures and the special words in their language, Leo gradually understood the general origin of these intelligent creatures and the purpose of walking in the abyss from their conversations.

For example, he knew that these people came from a world fragment called Shudania, so they could be called Shudanians. In Leo's memory, there was indeed a planet with a similar name among the mining planets of the Earth Federation, and that planet was called Redania.

The reason why Leo had such a deep impression of the name of a mining planet was that Redania was famous for its weirdness in the Earth Federation. This planet often made some strange sounds that could not be explained by any science, such as the sudden disappearance of the entire city overnight, and the inexplicable voice mutation of people who lived there for a long time. After various instrument tests, the environment there did not have any basis that could cause human voice mutation.

However, now think about the unsolved mysteries of Redania that troubled the scientists of the Earth Federation back then, perhaps it was related to the abyss.

Because of thinking of Redania, Leo also thought of the Menes lizard, a specialty of Redania. This lizard was originally a pet lizard of spaceship crew members or miners in the mine. Later, these pet lizards drifted to the wild of Redania and gradually evolved into Menes lizards. The biggest difference between Menes lizards and ordinary lizards is that they have multiple limbs. The higher the status of the lizard in the lizard group, the more limbs it has. This seems to be exactly the same as the status level division shown in the Shudanian convoy in front of him.

The reason why the Earth Federation is interested in Menes lizards is mainly because Menes lizards evolve very quickly. In just a few thousand years, they have completed several major biological genetic evolutions, while it took humans millions of years to complete such evolution at that time. Therefore, some scientists predicted that in a few thousand years, those Menes lizards will be able to evolve into an intelligent race, and now these Shudanians in front of Leo may be the result of the evolution of Menes lizards.

In addition to calculating the origins of these Shudanians through some clues, Leo is more concerned about the purpose of these people's trip, Bone City.

After listening to the conversation of the Shudanians in the caravan, Leo knew that the destination of this caravan was also his destination, Bone City. These Shudanians seemed to be going to trade a kind of ore called redstone. Leo didn't know what redstone was, but from the tone of the Shudanians' conversation, it was not difficult to hear that redstone was very important to them.

It was precisely because he knew that the purpose of this caravan was the same as his own, so Leo also gave up the idea of ​​contacting the people in this caravan. After all, in a place like the abyss, a strange intelligent creature rashly contacted another group of intelligent creatures, and it was likely to turn into an unnecessary fight in the end. It would be better to follow behind from a distance and let the caravan lead the way for him.

In this way, Leo completely restrained all the power in his body, making himself like a stone on the ground, following behind the caravan, and slowly moving in this lifeless wasteland.

Although this wasteland is full of sacrificial light and is not suitable for any creature to survive and reproduce, it does not mean that there are no creatures here. In fact, there are many worm-like abyss monsters growing underground. They perfectly avoid the sacrificial sunlight above their heads. Usually, they will curl up in the ground in a way similar to hibernation, only letting their tentacles drill close to the ground, and then wait motionlessly for prey.

When something passes through the ground above the tentacles, the tentacles will sense its position, and then those worms will quickly drill out of the ground and swallow the prey directly, and hide back underground before the sacrificial light takes effect.

On the road, the Shudanian team encountered many such worm attacks. Leo initially wanted to help them secretly, but watching them skillfully control the car to avoid the worm's attack, and then quickly cut the part of the worm that stretched out into pieces with the weapon in his hand, and then happily collect these into a refining device, and refine them into something similar to nutrient solution, he gave up the idea of ​​taking action and became a bystander throughout the whole process.

In this way, Leo followed the caravan for about a month, walked out of the wasteland full of sacrificial sunshine, and came to a place full of various huge bones and the sky was shrouded in darkness.
