Chapter 1917 Bone Pollution Source
Bone City does not refer to a single city, but an area. Just like the Black Swamp, except for the central area where the main body of Bone City is located, all the surrounding areas covered by bones belong to the control of Bone City. The best way to judge whether you have entered the area controlled by Bone City is to see whether there is still spatial disorder in the area.
Bone City represents order. The abyss snake that built Bone City has embedded the law of order into this chaotic land at the beginning of its construction. Therefore, any phenomenon caused by the law of chaos in the abyss will not appear in Bone City and its control area. The phenomenon of spatial disorder is one of them. In a sense, the control area of Bone City is also a world independent of the abyss.
Although Bone City advocates order, the various intelligent creatures living in the control area of Bone City are also rare order creatures and races in the abyss, but this does not mean that there is no danger within the scope of Bone City. In fact, there is no difference between here and other places in the abyss. Death, mutation and pollution are still the themes here. In fact, pollution here is much more serious than other places in the abyss.
Since the construction of Bone City, the master of Bone City, Order Serpent, has left Bone City every once in a while to go to various places in the Abyss, hunting down those Abyss Superiors who have fallen into madness for various reasons, and then bringing the bones of these Abyss Superiors back to Bone City, either to become part of the building materials of Bone City, or to be discarded around Bone City.
Although Order Serpent has imprinted his own order mark on the bones of these Abyss Superiors without exception, he has not cleaned up the unique power of the Abyss Superiors attached to these bones. Over time, these powers have formed pollution sources.
One pollution source is not terrible. In a place like the Abyss, there are countless pollution sources formed after the death of the Abyss Superiors. The intelligent races and creatures of the Abyss have ways to deal with such pollution sources, but the problem is that the pollution sources in Bone City are crowded together, which makes these pollution sources extremely complicated, so complicated that even if the Abyss Superiors enter them, they will be affected, or even directly polluted and mutated.
In order to allow people to pass through the territory controlled by the Bone City, the Order Serpent specially built a large number of statues belonging to Him on the periphery of the territory controlled by Him. Those intelligent creatures who want to enter the area controlled by Him only need to recite the prayers engraved on the base of the statue in front of the statue to obtain His blessing and the blessing of the law of order, and will no longer be affected by the pollution sources in the Bone City. Those races who want to settle in the area controlled by the Bone City only need to buy a statue from the Bone City and place it in the settlement place, and they can get shelter within a certain range.
When Leo approached the giant skeleton at the outermost edge of the Bone City, he could already feel the pollution sources formed by the remaining power of the Abyss Superiors in front of him. Even if he got a little closer, he could hear the screams that penetrated into the depths of his spirit. If he turned on his spiritual vision ability to see, he could also see some strange illusions wandering in it.
If it was just a pollution source of this degree, Leo would not pay too much attention. In these areas covered by the bones of various Abyss Superiors, what really concerned Leo was the order marks attached to these bones.
These order marks are not just marks made by the owner of the Bone City to mark the territory as spread by the outside world. These marks actually contain deep meanings, because they are actually integrated with each other and combined into a very large abyss array.
Once someone tries to attack the Bone City from the outside, these marks will come into play, integrating the remaining power in the bones of all the Abyss Superiors, and finally being able to exert unimaginable power. At the very least, it can turn the Bone City into an order field. At that time, with the power of the Order Serpent, the owner of the Bone City, it is believed that it will be enough to resist the attacks or sieges of most of the powerful Abyss Superiors in the Abyss.
After arriving at the outskirts of the Bone City, Leo wandered for a while and felt the effects of the pollution sources in the Bone City. In the end, he felt that even if he walked in directly, he would not be affected by these pollution sources. He could even feel a sense of hunger through the stone pillars of the crystal snake, as if the remaining power of these Abyss Superiors was a delicious meal. However, he did not do such an extraordinary thing, but honestly came to a statue of the Order Serpent standing outside the bones and recited the prayer on the base.
These prayers have no special meaning, they are just some city rules written in Bagu language. The only interesting part is that when engraving these words, the engraver performed a very magical secret technique, which can make people who recognize and see these words instantly understand the meaning and reading of the words.
After reading these words, Leo immediately felt a surge of power from the big snake statue in front of him, sweeping over him, and a mark appeared on his body at this time.
After sensing the mark, Leo directly sent the mark into the stone throne. Almost at the same time as it was sent into the stone throne, the mark also appeared on the stone pillar of the crystal snake, and some information related to the power contained in the mark was also transmitted to Leo's mind.
After quickly reviewing this information, Leo also looked at the more than ten-meter-high snake statue in front of him with a little surprise, because through the analysis of the Stone Throne, he found that the master of the Bone City, the Order Snake, might really have mastered a kind of order law power, and this order law was not created out of thin air, nor did it come from other worlds, but was generated by the abyss itself.
In Leo's cognition, the abyss is chaos itself, and there is absolutely no order in chaos, and all the knowledge he collected about the abyss also showed this without exception, but now the appearance of the Order Snake in front of him has changed this cognition. The abyss has order, and even the abyss has produced the law of order. This makes him not only a little confused, but is the abyss with the law of order still the abyss?
In order to avoid making a mistake, Leo tried to recite a prayer to the snake statue, letting it put several order marks in its body, and then sent them to the stone throne, the chaos stomach and the nightmare power for analysis. Although the analysis of power by the chaos stomach and the nightmare power cannot be compared with the stone throne, it is still very simple for the chaos stomach and the nightmare power to distinguish whether a power has a law.
"Is it really the law of the abyss?" After getting the same feedback, Leo couldn't help muttering.
Leo couldn't figure out why such an abnormal situation occurred for the time being. This was mainly because the knowledge and information he collected about the abyss was not comprehensive. Perhaps when the information he collected was complete in the future, he would be able to know the reason.
At this time, the Shudanians not far from Leo had already blessed themselves with the mark of order. They did not immediately enter the bone jungle in front, but replaced all their weapons with cold weapons. As for the pulse guns and high-frequency knives, they were all put away. Obviously, they did this not because the control area of Bone City was safe, but more like those energy weapons could not play a role in special areas such as Bone City.
In addition to changing equipment, they also took out some amulet-like items and hung them around their necks. These amulets were not made of any special materials. They were all pendants carved from ordinary stones. The only thing worth noting was a special symbol on the amulet.
This symbol was just an ordinary symbol in Leo's perception, and there was no extraordinary power, but he could feel that when he saw that symbol, the crystal snake stone pillar on the stone pillar square would produce an energy fluctuation that acted on emotions. If he integrated this energy fluctuation into his body, he would spontaneously produce an extremely disgusting emotion in his heart, as if he had seen some extremely disgusting objects.
Obviously, this mysterious power that can make the creatures of the abyss feel extremely disgusting should be the effect that these Shudanians hope these amulets can achieve. They may not be able to use force to disperse the malicious enemies hidden in the area controlled by the Bone City, but they can use disgusting methods to make those enemies unwilling to approach them.
After wearing the amulets, the Shudanian convoy drove forward along the road opened up by their predecessors in the bone jungle.
This time, Leo did not follow these Shudanians, but entered the bone jungle in front alone, and then quickly moved forward through the gaps formed by countless piles of bones.
During the movement, Leo occasionally restrained the order mark on his body and felt the surrounding pollution sources. Although the pollution sources deep into the bone jungle were far more corrosive than those he felt outside, as he had discovered before, the power of the crystal snake did treat these pollution sources as delicacies. All the polluting forces that penetrated into his body could be swallowed by the crystal snake stone pillar, and as the types of polluting sources swallowed increased, some reliefs on the surface of the crystal snake stone pillar also became different, with more vague forms of the upper races of the abyss.
However, even if the crystal snake swallowed the polluting forces that penetrated into the body, it would be difficult for it to swallow these mixed polluting forces completely, and there would always be some residues left in the body, but Leo was not worried, because as long as the order mark was released again, these residues left in the body would quickly dissipate and would not bring him any trouble.
But Leo did not use the order mark as a quick and simple method to solve these remaining polluting forces. Instead, he tried to analyze them through the swallowing power, and then use the nightmare power to transform them into the power of the God Punishment Mark to speed up the recovery of the power of the God Punishment Mark.
On the way, Leo had repeatedly tried to find out that the power of the divine punishment mark in his body had an extraordinary effect on the creatures of the abyss. He did not need to directly exert the divine punishment mark, but mixed some of the power of the divine punishment mark with other powers, which could also achieve extraordinary destructive power and damage. Therefore, in order to be able to deal with possible conflicts and battles with the superiors of the abyss in the near future, he needed to make up for the current defects of the divine punishment mark power, which was slow to recover.
After repeated attempts, Leo found that although the power of the divine punishment mark disguised by the power of nightmare was essentially different from the real power of the divine punishment mark, this imitation of the pseudo-divine punishment mark power could also act as a catalyst to promote the rapid recovery of the divine punishment mark power. This recovery was not directly integrated into the divine punishment mark for recovery, but more like creating an environment suitable for the recovery of the divine punishment mark, allowing the divine punishment mark to recover on its own.
So Leo would try to absorb as much power from the abyss as possible through the power of devouring without affecting himself, and then convert it through the power of nightmare. Now these pollution sources in the area controlled by the Bone City are just right for him to devour and convert.
After repeated attempts, Leo no longer stimulated the order mark in his body, but immersed himself completely in these pollution sources and absorbed them into his body without hesitation.
However, what Leo didn't know was that his operation inadvertently created a hole in this pollution source. It might be difficult for ordinary people to find this hole, but for the master of this area, the order snake, this hole is extremely eye-catching.
The Order Serpent with a pair of golden eyes woke up from his throne, then stood up and slowly crawled out of the palace built for him by his family. Just like other different areas in the Abyss, the Bone City also has a completely different environment from other places. For example, there is no sun in the sky, but there are countless clouds shining with golden light. These golden lights fall on the ground, illuminating the originally pale and colorless Bone City with golden light. When these lights shine on the Order Serpent, the scales of the Serpent also shine with golden light, and some mysterious symbols can be vaguely seen in the golden light.
"My Lord, you woke up early!" When the Order Serpent came to the outside of the temple, a snake man wearing a priest's robe quickly came to the Order Serpent, saluted respectfully, and said.
"A guest is coming." The Order Serpent stood up high, turned to the direction of the eye-catching hole in the pollution source area, and said, "I feel the breath of an old friend on Him."
"Old friend?" The snake priest was stunned, and soon realized who the old friend the Order Serpent was talking about, and confirmed: "The old friend you are talking about is the one who was expelled with you..."
"Yes, it's Him!" The Order Serpent admitted the snake man's guess, and then said with doubt: "But I remember that my old friend is dead, and I saw the process of His death with my own eyes."
The snake priest was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Do we need to send someone..."
"No, no!" The Order Serpent shook his head, then turned and moved towards the temple, and said at the same time: "He came back to find me, you don't have to do anything."
