Chapter 1940: Bev's Attack
This is the first time Leo has seen the Bev people actively attack other creatures. Their power is amazing. You know, although those toad-like abyss creatures have no wisdom and act entirely on instinct, the abyss power they exude is very strong, and the Bev people can easily kill and absorb them. This strength is very consistent with the ability records of the Bev people in Leo's memory.
However, the attack methods used by the Bev people now are quite strange, and they are completely different from what the Bev people should look like. You know, the Bev people, who are called star gods, have always been known for their pure power. When facing enemies, they use their almost endless star core power to crush everything. This attack method has been solidified into their origin. Even a more powerful external force than them cannot change their attack method. There are more than one failed records in the information disclosed by the Supreme Council of the Universe.
However, the attack method of the Bev people now has no shadow of the Bev people, but is more like the attack method of some abyss creatures. This makes Leo have to suspect that Sylvia has changed the star core composition of the Bev people when she transformed it into the domain spirit of her own domain through some method.
Just as Leo was thinking about things, the battle or massacre of the Bev people had come to an end. Thousands of toad-like abyssal creatures rushed towards the Bev people one after another. They risked their lives just to kill the invaders who invaded their territory, but in the end they were just served as an appetizer on the invaders' table.
Judging from the killing speed of the Bev people, at least tens of thousands of abyssal creatures have died in the absorption rays of the Bev people, and the shriveled corpses of these abyssal creatures will not exist for long. They will be absorbed by the swamp in less than a minute and become part of the black mud.
The careful Leo found that when the shriveled corpses of the abyssal creatures were absorbed by the swamp, some of the towering trees closest to their location began to emit bursts of black light. These black lights mixed with the blood moon light that penetrated the leaves and shone down, constantly transforming into vague monster shapes.
Although the monsters made of black and red light seemed illusory, Leo had a vague guess that once the towering trees absorbed enough energy, perhaps those illusory monsters would turn back into entities.
After dealing with the last abyss creature that pounced on her, Bev walked back to Leo and stood there quietly. The killing just now had no effect on her.
Leo then discovered that the pattern on Bev's forehead had changed a little. There was a trace of black cracks on the original normal origin star mark, but these cracks did not exist for too long and soon disappeared under Leo's gaze, as if they had merged into Bev's mark.
Seeing this, Leo naturally reached out to check Bev's situation. After all, the power of the abyss was strange and hard to guard against, and this forbidden area had the power to restrain Sylvia. As the domain spirit of Sylvia's domain, Bev should also be restrained, so it was better to be careful.
Facing Leo's inspection, the Bev people did not make any obstructive moves, and even completely released all their restrictions, including the origin star core, allowing Leo to inspect, as if they had 100% trust in Leo.
This trust obviously did not come from Sylvia, it should be what happened when he lost his memory during the subspace exploration, which earned the absolute trust of the Bev people.
While curious about what happened between him and the Bev people, Leo also carefully checked the Bev people's body, but did not find any abnormalities. Instead, he indirectly felt that the power of the Bev people seemed to have a much smaller sense of repulsion with the power of this area.
After entering here, Leo could clearly sense that there was a repulsive force against him here, just like entering the eyes of a foreign object, wanting to throw him out as an outsider, but this repulsive force was not enough to expel him, and it could not cause too much negative impact on his power, so he did not care about it.
Now, from the examination of the Bev people's body, the black cracks he found before might be some power belonging to the origin of this world hidden in those toad-like abyss creatures, and the Bev people absorbed and merged this power to integrate themselves into this area, and also integrated this area into Sylvia's area.
"It seems that the attack method of the Bev people has not changed, but has changed a form." Leo saw that the Bev people, as the spirit of the domain, used this most direct way to swallow up this area, and all his doubts about the Bev people disappeared.
After discovering the Bev people's method, he decided to cooperate with the Bev people. He raised his hand, melted a wound, and then squeezed a drop of blood out of the wound. At the same time, he called the devouring power, operated according to a certain law, transformed the power aura, and then injected it into the drop of blood.
With the injection of the devouring power, the blood turned purple-red, and the center showed a vortex shape. Then he saw Leo dripping this drop of blood into the swamp under his feet and merging it into the swamp black mud.
Not long after, the ground began to tremble slightly, and countless toad-like abyss creatures gathered towards Leo at a very fast speed, either from the ground or from underground. At the same time, the towering trees in the distance began to shake involuntarily, and the roots of these trees began to drill out from the ground, looking like they wanted to rise from the ground and move towards Leo.
This kind of outer god magic was seen by Leo in his past notes. At that time, his memory breakpoint happened to be at the point where he left the wizard academy and went to the abyss. The place where he randomly transferred happened to be a small world located at the root of the world tree in the abyss. This small world has almost merged with the abyss, so it can also be regarded as a part of the abyss.
And, the purpose of his creation of this magic at that time was to lure a large number of abyss creatures into the trap he set, kill them, and then let the crystal snake devour the remaining power of these abyss creatures after death, so as to quickly increase the power of the crystal snake. After all, in the abyss, the abyss power possessed by the crystal snake is the most suitable for use.
The only function of this magic is to lure abyssal creatures. This drop of blood mixed with devouring power will have a strong influence on a wide range of abyssal creatures, making them feel unprecedented hunger, and this drop is the only way to eliminate this hunger. In order to eliminate hunger, all affected abyssal creatures will involuntarily move towards the place where the blood exists.
It is precisely because the function of this magic is simple that its effect is extremely obvious and its scope of action is also very wide. The effect recorded in the notes is that all abyssal creatures in that small world, including the abyssal creatures around the small world, are affected and driven crazy by hunger. Even after Leo deliberately concealed all the breath of this drop of blood, these abyssal creatures will still kill each other at the cost of their lives because of their hunger. So when this magic is performed, the abyssal creatures in that small world are basically extinct.
Just like in that small world, now after Leo used it in this area, the effect was still significant. Not only those toad-shaped abyss monsters were attracted, but also those towering trees that looked like plants were also affected.
Facing the abyss monsters that were surging like a tidal wave, the Bev people were not panicked at all. They walked in front of Leo again, and let their bodies float in the air, and then shot those devouring rays again. The only difference from the previous devouring rays was that the rays now were not only more dense, but also had much stronger penetrating power. Not only were a large number of abyss creatures on the ground pierced through their bodies by these rays like skewers, but even the abyss creatures that sneaked in from deep underground did not escape the penetration of the rays.
All the abyss creatures penetrated by the rays had their flesh, internal organs and bones absorbed completely, leaving only a piece of skin falling on the ground, and the swallowing speed of the Bev people's rays was much faster than before.
Of course, the Bev people's increase in the number and power of rays is not without any cost. Leo can clearly feel that the energy fluctuations of the Bev people are very large during the projection of the rays. This is a phenomenon that has never happened before. Obviously, the use of this kind of ray is also a burden for the power that the Bev people now have.
However, as the Bev people absorb more and more of the origin of this area from the abyss creatures, the rejection of this area to her is getting smaller and smaller. Correspondingly, this also makes it easier for Sylvia outside this area to find loopholes in this area and use this loophole, such as transmitting power to the Bev people and supporting the Bev people's swallowing rays.
With the slaughter of the Bev people, the toad-like abyss creatures have been greatly reduced, but this does not mean that the number of abyss creatures that have surged over has decreased. There are other abyss creatures that have surged over from farther places to fill this gap. These abyss creatures have different shapes, all of which are abyss creatures that Leo does not recognize, but he can see the shadows of some abyss creatures that have been multiplying in the abyss for many years from these abyss creatures, and it feels like these abyss creatures are the original forms of those abyss creatures.
Although the devouring rays of the Bev people were extremely powerful and easily killed a large number of abyss creatures, there were too many abyss creatures here. There were so many that the Bev people had no time to absorb them before new abyss creatures came.
In response, Leo directly sealed the drop of blood used as bait underground, just like he did when he lost his memory that time, and at the same time grabbed the Bev people floating in the air, intending to gather their breath together.
However, the Bev people seemed to understand Leo's intentions. When she was caught, she took a step ahead of Leo and used her special concealment ability to cover herself and Leo.
In an instant, all the abyss creatures lost their target, but the hunger in their hearts did not disappear. Instead, it became stronger because they could not sense Leo's drop of blood.
So, just like the small world at the root of the world tree, all the abyss creatures affected by the blood went crazy and attacked any goods around them.
For a moment, the boundless swamp before their eyes turned into a killing battlefield for the creatures from the abyss. They killed and devoured just to satisfy the ever-growing hunger in their hearts. Even the abyss plants were affected and launched attacks again and again.
The concealment ability of the Bev people played an extraordinary role in this chaotic battlefield. Almost all the abyss creatures close to her and Leo would involuntarily move away from their position, so they only needed to stand still. The only thing they needed to guard against was the aftermath of some abyss creatures' attacks, such as the corrosive acid spit out by some abyss creatures that would fall on their heads unaffected. Fortunately, these aftermaths of attacks were not difficult to deal with. Leo almost didn't need to make a move, and the Bev people had already blocked it.
In this way, countless abyss creatures killed and devoured each other, and those corpses that were not devoured in time were quickly absorbed by this area. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the black clouds in the sky gradually faded under this circumstance, and the blood moon light that penetrated the dark clouds was also increasing rapidly. The red and black fog around the towering trees became more and more, and the abyss monsters transformed by the red and black fog became clearer and clearer. On the contrary, the attack power of those towering trees was gradually weakening, as if the power they possessed was taken away by something.
Because of this, with the attack strength of those towering trees, it could no longer suppress the surrounding abyss monsters driven crazy by hunger. A large number of abyss creatures frantically pounced on the towering trees like ants catching prey, avoiding the attacks of branches and leaves blown down from the trees, not avoiding the poisonous branches, tearing off pieces of bark and trunks, and more abyss monsters gathered at the roots of the trees and bit them.
Although the unknown monsters formed by the red and black fog would help the towering trees attack those abyss creatures, they had no form after all, and the power of their attacks was not particularly strong, so they did not play any role.
Soon, a towering tree could no longer stand upright because a large number of its roots were bitten off, and it fell heavily, and then it was soon covered and bitten by more abyss monsters.
As a tree fell, more and more trees followed suit. At this time, all the black clouds in the sky had become extremely thin, and they could not block the blood moon in the sky at all. The light of the blood moon was no longer specifically shining on the towering trees, but all fell on the ground and fell on all the crazy abyss creatures.
At this moment, the bodies of all the abyss creatures began to twist and deform, like a mass of mud being kneaded, and merged with each other, rushing towards the fallen towering trees, completely covering them and quickly merging with them.
Not long after, one could see hundreds of meters tall, shapeless Lannie monsters appearing on the endless swamp.
