Chapter 384 Overlap
Leo, who had just recovered from the heavy blow of the tree man, looked at the zombie in front of him with some doubts, guessing the identity of the other party in his heart.
When he was about to escape from the small garden just now, he finally failed to dodge the attack of the tree man who was chasing him, and the whole person was thrown out of the small garden. Fortunately, he cast three Quinn seals in succession before being attacked, so he was not injured by the attack of the tree man.
However, the magic protective force field created by the Quinn seal immediately disintegrated after enduring the attack of the tree man. When he hit the wall, he was unable to cast the Quinn seal again. The whole person hit the wall hard, and while knocking down the wall, he also fell into a short state of shock.
Fortunately, his evolved body was strong enough, and he did not receive too much damage, and he quickly recovered from the shock state. When he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw a zombie with a strange appearance grabbing him.
At that time, he grabbed the other party's arm at the first time, and wanted to smash the other party's head with a punch.
But what surprised him was that the zombie actually showed a panic and fearful look, which also made him doubtful. He did not attack again, but let go of the other party, kept a certain distance from the other party, and asked about the other party's identity.
Coincidentally, the other party also asked Leo in a voice with a clear rhythm, and through the special power of this place where everything ends, Leo easily understood that the meaning of the other party's voice was the same as his.
After confirming that the other party was an intelligent life rather than a zombie, Leo relaxed a little, and then took the time to look in the direction of the small garden.
With ordinary naked eyes, the small garden is still the same small garden, without any change, but through spiritual vision, Leo can see that the ancient war tree, which has shrunk dozens of times but still looks huge, is standing on the edge of the small garden, staring at Leo.
Although it is so far away, Leo can still feel the anger and murderous intent of the tree man, but the edge of the small garden seems to contain some powerful power, which binds the tree man in it and cannot rush out to chase Leo.
Seeing that things developed as he expected, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed. The accumulated fatigue in his body instantly invaded, making him a little unstable, and he had to press against the wall to stabilize his body.
Although it doesn't take much effort to perform shadow leap movement, it requires concentration, and dodging the tree man's attack is like dancing on the edge of a knife. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Therefore, when he dodged the attack, not only did his body reach the limit, but his mind was always in a highly concentrated state. In this state, all negative reactions were suppressed, and now that he relaxed, the negative reactions that were suppressed before immediately broke out, so that even with the ninth-level will, Leo could not withstand this impact in a short time.
"Are you okay?" The zombie who had been watching Leo saw that Leo was in a bad state, stepped forward to support Leo, and asked.
Leo did not refuse the zombie's kindness. With the help of the zombie, he sat on a chair in the room and rested for a while. After the discomfort on his body was relieved, he turned his head to look at the zombie who was quietly standing aside and said, "Who are you? Are you also an ember?"
"Yes, my name is Joey, a living dead, which is what you call an ember." The zombie nodded, and then asked curiously, "Are you from the royal city?"
"No, I'm just an ordinary traveler." Leo gave a disappointing answer.
Joey's eyes showed a little disappointment, but soon he became excited and said something with his hands and feet. Perhaps because of the excitement, his words were a little incoherent.
However, Leo still heard from the words of the other party that the other party should be curious about why Leo could knock down the stone wall and still be fine. It was obvious that it was the first time he saw a person with such a hard body.
In this way, through the special power of the Land of the End of Everything, two people from different worlds and speaking different languages talked and exchanged information with each other, but the two asked different questions. Leo asked more about the country and continent where Joey was, while Joey asked more about the royal city.
Through the conversation, Leo knew that the continent where Joey was located was different from the continent where Seredor was located. They were all ordinary people. Even if there were some powerful knights, the knights still did not exceed the scope of human limits. There was no magic, no extraordinary existence such as clans, but their continent and Seredor's continent had one thing in common, that is, their continent also had a royal city, a royal city built and ruled by the gods.
This information also made Leo realize that in theory, the world of Veron where he was located should also have a similar royal city. What puzzled him was that among all the religions, legends and mythological books he had seen, there was no written record of similar things.
But at this time, Leo couldn't help but think of one thing. When he saw the giant golden deer in the Black Forest, there seemed to be a huge castle on the top of the golden deer's head. It was just because of the height and the obstruction of clouds, he couldn't see it clearly. Now think about it, the castle seems to be somewhat similar to the royal city, but it is much smaller.
Feeling that his body had recovered, Leo asked Joey, "Are you going with me or staying here?"
"Let's go together." Joey was still in an excited state and asked Leo, "Are you going to the prayer hall?"
"Yes." Leo nodded, stood up and prepared to leave here, but he suddenly stopped and turned to look at a pile of rubble.
Joey looked in the direction of Leo's sight, and suddenly thought that the strange statue he had found before seemed to be buried in the pile of stones. Although he was reluctant to part with the statue, he learned some things about the royal city from Leo, which was enough to compensate for the loss of the statue. Moreover, the prayer hall he was going to now was more likely to have something of higher value, so he generously told Leo about the statue.
"Human Pus!" Leo quickly made a judgment after hearing it. In fact, even if Joey didn't say it, he could guess that the human pus should be buried in the rubble, because the hunger transmitted by the chaotic stomach sac was the best proof.
Leo walked to the pile of stones, cleaned it up, and soon found the abyss snake statue that Joey mentioned. Although it was hit by many stones, the statue had no scars, and the human pus in the middle of the statue was intact.
Seeing the human pus in front of him, the hunger transmitted by the Chaos Stomach became stronger, even far exceeding the human pus seen in the prayer hall.
And Leo was still able to suppress this hunger. He carefully checked the situation of this group of human pus. He found that this group of human pus seemed to be different from the human pus he had swallowed before. This group of human pus seemed to be deeper. If you watch it for a long time, there will be an inexplicable power generated from his body, and this power is full of coldness, making him feel like he is in a world built by absolute zero.
In addition, this group of human pus seems to be able to evoke some greed and desires deep in his heart, so Leo's hunger will become stronger.
Without thinking too much, Leo reached out and grabbed the human pus in his hand. Just like the previous human pus, this human pus immediately penetrated into Leo's palm after it touched his palm. However, Leo, who had experience, would not wait until the human pus penetrated too deeply. He directly used the power of greed to wrap up the human pus and swallowed it quickly.
Joey, who was standing by, only saw that after Leo grabbed the black oily object, the object immediately drilled into Leo's palm, and Leo's palm also turned black. Although Joey didn't know what happened, he instinctively made the most favorable choice for himself and quietly retreated to the side of the window. As long as he felt something was wrong, he would jump out of the window and escape. As for rescuing Leo, it was not within his consideration at all.
However, things changed soon. The black oil on Leo's hand disappeared quickly, and the color of the skin on his palm returned to normal. Even his pale face due to fatigue recovered, and the whole person seemed to become much more energetic.
"Are you okay, Mr. Leo?" Seeing Leo stand up, Joey asked with some concern.
"No, I'm fine." Leo smiled slightly, threw the Ouroboros statue in his hand, which was no longer useful, to Joey, and said, "This thing is gone, you can take it, and sell it as an antique treasure. It should be worth a lot of money."
Joey took the statue and looked at it in his hand. For some reason, he felt that the statue was much older than before. Although the exquisiteness of the statue was reduced this time, it could increase the sense of time precipitation of the statue. Some sellers just like this tone, and maybe they can sell it for an unusually high price at that time.
After putting the statue into the backpack, he followed Leo who was already walking outside and left the villa together.
After that, the two of them quickly walked through the streets of the city and moved towards the prayer hall.
Although Joey followed Leo's footsteps and hurried on his way, because there was no danger, he was able to distract himself and check the surrounding situation.
Soon he found that Leo seemed to know which road was the safest, and encountered the fewest zombies on the road, and also avoided several undistinct zombie communities on the streets, and even found the movement routes of the zombies in advance and bypassed the roads.
In addition, he also found that after only walking for more than ten minutes, he had walked out of the small city area he had explored before and came to another unfamiliar city area. This city area not only has some zombies, but also many terrifying and unknown monsters, such as some lying on the wall like spiders, and some hiding in dark alleys and houses, sneaking up on everyone who passed by.
These monsters are immune to Joey's disguise, just like the monster knights before. As long as Joey approaches, he will be attacked by them, and every time they attack, they will be discovered by Leo who is on the road ahead, and then cut into pieces by a long sword that appears out of thin air.
Along the way, the two were silent and came to the outside of the prayer hall without any danger.
After seeing the appearance of the prayer hall, Joey was not disappointed, but very excited, because a religious place like this should have a large number of items related to religious matters. Any item, even a candlestick, would probably be sold at a sky-high price at an auction outside. There is no doubt that he made a fortune this time.
Compared to Joey's excitement, Leo was a little confused, and his brows slightly frowned, because he found that his spiritual network did not find anyone in the prayer hall, not even the fire keeper.
With doubts in his heart, Leo carefully turned the twins into the strongest sacrificial knife mode, signaled Joey who was following behind to be careful, and then stepped into the prayer hall.
Joey didn't understand why Leo became nervous after arriving at the place, but he didn't question it after seeing Leo's skills. Instead, he followed Leo carefully, looking around, and soon found several places that could provide hiding places in case of accidents.
However, the expected attacks and accidents did not occur. After entering the prayer hall, Joey's eyes swept around and found that there was no one in the prayer hall. There were no knights, nuns, fire keeper, etc. as Leo said, and there was only a bonfire in the middle of the prayer hall that was about to go out.
However, unlike Joey's bewilderment, Leo seemed to have seen something new. His eyes kept lingering in certain places in the prayer hall, and many of the places he lingered were where the people in the prayer hall had lingered before.
The reason why Leo behaved so strangely was that under his spiritual observation, he found that there were people in the prayer hall. The fire guards and others he had seen before were all here, but their bodies seemed to have become a blurry and transparent phantom.
It was as if two spaces were folded together. For some unknown reason, the light and shadow of one space were projected into another space, forming this mirage-like illusion.
However, not all people in the other space could not see Leo. When Leo walked to the campfire, the fire guards sitting next to the campfire suddenly stood up from the ground and looked at Leo in surprise. It was obvious that she was very surprised by Leo's current state, and she opened her mouth to say something, but Leo could neither hear the sound nor recognize what she said from her mouth shape.
Everyone else around was confused by the Fire Guardian's actions and came over to ask what was going on. However, none of them could see Leo. Only an old man reading a book sitting next to the campfire could barely sense Leo's presence, and he also looked surprised.
