Chapter 259 Unknown hunter
When Su's positive judgment reached his ears behind him, Leo also had a suspicion in his heart. Judging from various circumstances, it was obvious that Su had some unknown connection with the last descendant of the God of Darkness.
That's why Su was able to know the whereabouts of that Familia, to understand that Familia's physical condition, and to understand that Familia's plans.
Leo didn't ask further why Su was so sure, because he knew very well that even if he asked, the other party might not answer, so instead of asking questions that had no answers, it would be better to discuss something useful, such as taking action.
The details of dealing with that family member, etc.
However, before Leo could speak, Su suddenly walked out from behind him, walked to the edge of the road, and looked down into the abyss outside, his face full of confusion and surprise.
"What's wrong?" Leo also walked over and asked in a deep voice.
"Just now I felt like there was something down there." Su responded, but said with some uncertainty, "But it might be an illusion! I haven't noticed anything unusual now."
"No, it's not necessarily an illusion!" Although Leo couldn't see what was going on in the abyss, he didn't think Su's feeling was wrong, because when he looked down at the bottomless abyss below, the power of gluttony
A desire to eat suddenly arose. It was obvious that there was something hidden in the invisible darkness of the abyss below that could trigger the appetite of the chaotic stomach.
"What did you find?" Because of the limitations of the surrounding power, Su was a little unsure of his bloodline talent.
"There is indeed something down there, but I can't see clearly. Is it dangerous?" Leo, guided by the power of gluttony, felt that the thing that aroused his appetite was heading towards the place where he had finished his rest and was ready to move on.
The escape team moved over and said, "It should be for them." After saying that, he turned to Su and asked, "When something happens over there, will you take action?"
"What about you?" Su asked.
"I promise the web spinner to eliminate threats approaching the fleeing team." Leo did not answer directly.
Hearing Leo's words, Su closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something, and then smiled and said: "You don't need to take action, someone will take action, you just need to calmly watch and see the strength of the person who takes action.
"
Hearing this, Leo quickly understood the meaning of Su's words. His eyes fell on the refugees looming in the mountain path in the distance, and he said nothing more.
As the fleeing team continued to move forward, Leo and Su also followed behind. However, with Leo's help, the distance between them and the refugees was slightly closer, which made it easier to observe the situation of the fleeing team, even if something unexpected happened.
You can also take action in time.
Because the distance has shortened, the refugees at the end of the team only need to look back to see these two people who are somewhat out of tune with the surrounding environment. But now these refugees are all focused and carefully walking on the mountain path.
, trying his best to avoid falling into the abyss of the cliff aside, and had no intention of looking back at the situation behind him.
Although Leo's attention is now focused on the refugees in front, he also allocates part of his attention to the abyss beyond the cliff. Because he cannot expand his mental network, he can only use his evolved five senses to perceive
What's going on below the cliff.
Because of his conscious perception, Leo did quickly feel something from under the cliff.
The first thing captured is the breeze created by the agitation of airflow as the object moves.
When the unknown object under the cliff moved, it created waves of breeze, which stirred together to form an upward airflow. Although the airflow was very weak, it was still captured by Leo's sensitive tactile organs.
After capturing the breeze that formed the updraft, Leo followed the environmental analysis tactics he had learned before, and after comparing them through brain analysis, he was able to roughly analyze the size of the unknown object moving on the cliff below.
Later, the subtle sounds captured by the auditory organs became another reference data for him to analyze unknown objects.
Because the special environment of the abyss creates a strong echo effect, the various subtle sounds caused by the movement of unknown objects in other places will be quickly confused by the surrounding environment, and then covered up. Even if Leo hears it, he will only hear it.
There will be some noise. But here, with high mountains on both sides and cliffs and abyss below, any slight sound will be amplified several times by the echo, and the amplified sound is enough to be heard by Leo's extraordinary hearing.
Caught.
Through these two reference data, Leo has enough to analyze the specific situation of the unknown objects below, or more accurately, the specific situation of the unknown objects.
From the collected data, Leo analyzed that the unknown objects moving under the cliff were a group. They were about half a person tall and had multiple legs. They relied on the suction cups on their feet to grasp the cliff. They had a certain amount of intelligence because they knew how to convey information through sound.
However, their intelligence is not high and they have not formed a complete language. They can only express very simple meanings through monosyllabic sounds like some slightly intelligent beasts, such as moving forward, going around, etc.
Although Leo could not feel the danger of these unknown objects through the analysis results, he did not take it lightly, because being able to survive and reproduce in such an environment shows that this group of unknown objects moving under the cliff has extraordinary capabilities.
ability.
The group of unknown objects moved to the cliff below the fleeing team. They made no move to attack, nor did they move out of the darkness of the abyss. Instead, they followed slowly in the depths of the abyss, as if hunters were waiting for the opportunity to capture their prey.
The escape team, who knew nothing about the dangerous situation, would take a break every ten minutes. Although it would take some time, it would ensure that no accidents would occur due to lack of physical strength while the team was marching.
When the escape team was resting, the groups of unknown objects under the cliff also stopped to rest. Leo also found that every time they stopped to rest, the number of the groups of unknown objects would increase. Compared with the number when they were first discovered,
Now it has increased by at least five or six times, and during a previous break, a big guy seemed to come under the cliff.
This big guy is a real big guy, with a body shape at least similar to that of a small house, because the airflow it generates when it moves actually forms a whirlwind under the abyss, and this whirlwind is so strong that, let alone Leo, even
The ordinary people in front also felt it, and even caused a small commotion, which scared those people and clung to the mountain wall to avoid being swept out of the cliff by the rising whirlwind below.
Up to now, the group of people had been walking on this cliff path for about several hours, and everything went smoothly, with no accidents.
At this time, the crowd in front suddenly let out a moderate cheer. Although the sound was not loud, it caused a small avalanche because it reverberated on the mountain wall. Fortunately, the avalanche was located in the rear area.
There were no casualties, but it was enough to make those who were overly happy shut their mouths.
The two people following behind the team naturally heard the cheers, but they did not appear happy because of the content of the cheers. Instead, they became more solemn. After looking at each other, they all looked down the cliff in unison.
The people at the front of the fleeing team cheered because Balak, who was very familiar with the road, told them that they would be able to walk out of this mountain abyss in just half an hour. Leo and Su both felt the unknown under the abyss.
If the group of objects has bad intentions, they are almost ready to take action.
Not long after Leo and Su made their judgment, they all heard the sound of "puff, puff" coming from the bottom of the cliff, followed by something that looked like flying catkins coming from the abyss.
A stream of air floated up.
These flying catkins were very small and seemed harmless, but Leo and Su did not dare to underestimate them at all. They wrapped their exposed heads, faces, and hands with clothes, and took out some burning objects to prepare.
When these flying catkins come close to you, light them to prevent the flying catkins from sticking to your body.
However, the preparations of the two of them were obviously useless, because the flying catkins seemed to be able to distinguish the target, and showed no sign of coming towards the two of them. Instead, they all concentrated on the ordinary people who were fleeing. For the abyss
To the group of unknown objects here, those ordinary people were an extremely eye-catching meal, while the two of them were nothing more than inconspicuous pre-dinner refreshments.
When he saw Feixu approaching the escape team, Leo walked to the edge of the cliff, activated the power of nightmare in his body, and imitated a powerful flame witchcraft, Dragon Breath Technique, and cast the Dragon Breath Technique above his head.
, forming a huge dragon head phantom.
Although Leo's spiritual energy is restricted, because of the resistance of the power of gluttony to the surrounding invisible suppressive forces, a higher power such as the power of nightmare is freed from its constraints, and with the power of the power of nightmare,
By imitation, he can perform any kind of witchcraft or divine magic he knows. The only thing that limits his ability to perform is the capacity and recovery of the power of nightmare.
"You don't have to be so nervous, look!" Just when Leo was about to use Dragon's Breath, a powerful fire witchcraft, to burn the flying catkins approaching the fleeing team and fulfill his promise to the web weaver, Su Que
He walked to Leo's side, stretched out his hand and pointed towards the fleeing team ahead.
At the same time as Su's voice fell, Leo felt a cold breath coming from the fleeing team. This breath formed a biting cold wind and blew around, instantly freezing the flying catkins and turning them into some
The ice shards prevented it from floating in the air and fell into the abyss.
Just after the cold wind passed, another kind of spiritual energy wave came from the fleeing team, and this spiritual energy wave was very special. Leo had felt it in Sister Hannah of the Lord of the Sky Church. It should be the spirit energy wave of the Sky Lord.
Some kind of identity magic spell of the Lord.
Just when this spiritual energy wave reached the bottom of the cliff, all the abnormal sounds below the cliff suddenly stopped, as if the power of the speakers was turned off, but then a louder sound came from below,
This sound is so loud that even ordinary people can hear it, but these sounds are not getting louder and louder, but getting smaller and smaller. It feels like the unknown groups under the cliff are escaping deeper into the abyss, and soon there is something under the cliff.
Returned to the original dead silence.
Leo stopped activating the power of nightmare, and the dragon head that appeared above his head when the dragon breath technique was cast also dissipated because there was no follow-up power to support it.
Although the crisis for the fleeing team has been lifted, Leo's face does not look happy at all, because just now, when the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Lord of the Sky's magic were transmitted, he also felt the spiritual energy fluctuations contained in them.
How powerful the power is, the person who possesses this kind of psychic fluctuation must be at least a level six psyker.
"Very powerful, right?" Su also felt the magical aura of the Lord of the Sky. She didn't seem to have any worries because of the target's strength. Instead, she was paying attention to Leo's current mentality with interest.
"It is indeed very powerful." Leo nodded and said to Su, who looked very confident, "You don't seem to be worried."
"It seems that you have also been deceived." Su smiled contemptuously and said, "But you don't have to be upset about this, because even gods can be deceived, and even their divinity can be deceived."
When Leo heard this, he frowned and said, "You mean that the magic just now was fake?"
"The magic is real, but it's just not as powerful as it appears." Su explained: "If Mist was really that powerful, he wouldn't take the risk and leave his safe haven and run to the Dibia Mountains to find him.
This is a chance to get out of the predicament." As she spoke, she smiled disdainfully and said, "And this idiot actually forcibly used the magic stolen from the Lord of the Sky while possessing the divinity of the God of Darkness. I'm afraid.
Now he is suffering a lot."
Although the gods in the world of Velen do not have such absolute opposition, some gods are naturally mutually exclusive due to their own strength. The Lord of the Sky and the God of Darkness are the most famous hostile gods. In the classics of the Orthodox Church,
This hostile relationship is said to be the opposition between justice and evil, but in fact it is just because the divine power possessed by the two gods is too close, which will produce unpredictable adverse reactions.
"I'm afraid the matter is not over yet." Leo suddenly pointed at the cliff and said, "There is still a big guy who is not scared."
Leo's words also caught Su's attention. She looked into the abyss below, but didn't see anything, which made her have to doubt the authenticity of Leo's words.
However, Leo didn't explain it, because he couldn't explain it. After all, judging the shape of objects in the dark based on the size of the airflow is more mysterious to people in the Velen world than witchcraft, divine magic, etc.
Power is even more difficult to understand.
However, there was no need for Leo to explain, because the big guy hidden in the darkness could no longer resist his animalistic instincts. He emerged from the darkness and appeared out of sight of ordinary people, but it was enough to make Leo and Su
