Leo ignored Sean’s deliberately relaxed vigilant gag, but looked very seriously at Sean and Deny the High Priest and said, "I have something to do with everyone’s safety. I want to ask the two. What is the situation at the edge? How dangerous is it?"
The reason why Leo has this question is mainly because the powerful mysterious force on the opposite side makes him feel horrified.
Although he did not feel any threat from that force for a while, and that force was only a spiritual net that repelled him, he was not sure whether everyone would encounter such a mysterious as the Black Forest in the past. Things, so he hopes to collect some useful information as much as possible in order to have a preparation in advance.
"I’m not very clear about things over there. I just found this broken bridge as a landmark based on the notes of my ancestors. I knew that there was an altar on the opposite side that needed God’s blood to open. That altar was made by King Yasin. The place where the warrior was, and where the White Rose family was sacrificed, the scepter of Poseidon was left there." When talking about the business, Sean became serious, explaining what he knew, and then He looked again at the high priest of Dene next to him and said, "The Aknaya Church has occupied here for more than ten years. There are countless books and antiquities collected from the Nirgard people here. They should be very aware of the situation here. To understanding."
"I've never been here before." Just as Sean's voice fell, the high priest of Denny responded immediately.
This response made Sean stunned, and also made Leo a little puzzled. After all, the Aknaya church has been digging into this underground city for such a long time. It is impossible to think of it without visiting this broken bridge, not to mention the distance from the experiment The room area is not very far away, as long as it takes a little time, it should be easy to explore here.
"Mr. Dodd, what do the high priests of Deny say, do you believe it?" Sean said to Leo with suspicion of provocation.
However, after pondering for a while, Leo gave an answer that surprised Sean again, saying: "I believe, I believe that the high priest of Deny has never been here."
"Why would you believe it?" Sean asked puzzled.
"Because he didn't need to lie at this time." Leo answered briefly, but this answer was purely his lie, and it really made him sure that the reason why the high priest did not lie was his many years of interrogation experience and 20 points. Spiritual perception strengthened by spiritual base value.
Leo’s trust has also gained another benefit, which is the goodwill of the high priest of Denny. Although this goodwill is not enough to make the two friends, in the next adventure, they can make them more able Tacit cooperation.
Although Leo has already expressed his belief in what the high priest Deni said, he still chose to make some explanations, saying: "We have obtained a lot of data from other urban areas, and it will take a long time to analyze and analyze those data. Time and a lot of manpower are available, and the underground city is not known to the outside world, so there are not many people involved. The Nilgard books we have analyzed do not have any information related to this, only other urban areas Some of the data is fragmented, so instead of wasting a lot of manpower and material resources in exploring unknown areas, it is better to put the center of gravity in a known place and conduct purposeful excavation, which is more effective.
Leo frowned and said, "So, no one knows what's going on there?"
"No, there is one thing that might help us." The high priest of Denny hesitated and said, "According to the record of sacrifices written by a priest at that time, any altar must be there. The two altar guards, they are the creation of the patron saint, have immortal life and powerful power, and are the embodiment of steel."
"What the is this?" Sean's dazed face completely listened to the words as a bedside statement to scare the child.
It was Leo’s face with thoughtful expression on his face, creation, undead life, powerful power, and steel incarnation, which made him think of the battle robots of the Earth Federation.
At this moment, Leo's contemplative look was not concealed, and Sean and Deny were both aware of it.
The curious Sean pretended to be intimate and stepped forward to ask, "Brother Leo, do you know anything?"
"Don’t call me buddy, my age is definitely not as old as you are, and our relationship is not as good as that of brothers. Let’s call each other according to the proper etiquette! Your Excellency Sean." There were a dozen guys with good eyes, so they directly blocked Sean’s suit, and instead of asking other things, they walked to Jason and cleaned the battlefield together.
The high priest of Denny, who was born in Cage City, was used to finding useful things from corpses since he was a child. Even though his identity has prevented him from picking up corpses for so many years, this habit of deepening into the bone marrow still exists, so I saw it. Leo had nothing more to ask, he also actively collected the items on the body.
Sean’s self-identity, of course, is unwilling to do this kind of thing that is considered to be underneath, not to mention these corpses are his men, but everyone else is doing things here, he is sitting there alone, so that he has a kind of isolated It feels that in the end he also had to start his first sweep of the battlefield.
Soon everything that could be used on the corpse was cleaned up, and they were piled together in different categories.
Under Leo's distribution, the medicine was all handed over to Catherine and Nelson, and the others only carried some wound medicine.
Every weapon, such as a crossbow, has one. Nielsen’s uniform and crossbow have also been replaced with the better ones of the present. In addition, there are short swords and other melee weapons.
As for Sean’s huge burst of guns, which was also against the invalidation, they were confiscated and replaced by mechanical crossbows, and those precious special bullets were all taken away by Leo.
In addition, some slings, rollers and other heavy objects used for climbing were handed to Jason and Leo, and other ropes were put on each person's bundle to prepare for unexpected needs.
After making these preparations, Leo and others came to the broken bridge. The ropes that I built before are still there, but the rollers of the auxiliary bridge have not been stabilized, or because of the psionic waves just now, they have fallen into the abyss below.
The person who had climbed to the opposite side was no longer visible at this moment. Perhaps the wave of psionic energy had just passed to the opposite side, which also affected the people there. Even if he did not die on the spot, he would probably be unconscious.
Leo reached out and dragged the rope next to him, felt the rope's fixation, and then put his equipment aside. Try to be as light as possible, holding only the necessary tools for the construction of the ropeway. Watched and climbed the rope.
For Leo, climbing such a rope is as simple as eating and drinking. If it is not to avoid too shocking, he can even cross the 50-meter rope crossing bridge in just a few seconds.
Fortunately, however, Leo did not make some dangerous and quick moves to climb the rope, because when he climbed to the middle of the rope, that is, the edge of the area covered by the mysterious force, he felt a chill suddenly fall on him Swept over.
This chill has no effect on him, but for those who are not mentally prepared, or have a slightly weaker constitution, they may make his hands and feet temporarily appear abnormal reactions such as numbness and stiffness. When you rely on your hands and feet to fix your body, numbness in your hands and feet means that you can't grasp the rope, which means you will fall into the abyss.
Leo jotted down this position a little, and waited until the roller ropeway was set up opposite, and when others were coming, he reminded them to pay attention.
The chill quickly disappeared, and Leo's body did not show any other discomfort. His accelerated crawling speed quickly came across.
got off the rope, Leo immediately checked the surroundings.
On the broken bridge side, it is also a square, surrounded by shrines and stone pillars. The only difference is that the things here are still intact, even the statues in the center of the square are intact.
In addition, there is no passage at the edge of the square facing the broken bridge, but a bronze door about five meters high and four meters wide. Because of the years of moisture corrosion, the surface of this bronze door has become rusty, which is unique. The smell of copper is even clear at the broken bridge on the side of the square.
At first glance, there was nothing strange about the surrounding scene, but Leo became very alert at the moment, and pulled out the king from his waist, while pulling out a battle axe.
In fact, at this time, the flintlock cannon is more suitable, but unfortunately the flintlock cannon is too heavy. In order not to put a burden on the rope, he can only put it in other equipment that needs to be shipped separately, so that it can only be used now. The psionic weapon that the king has not yet mastered completely.
With a gun in one hand and a Leo with an axe sweeping around, the reason why he became so alert is because there is one thing missing on the broken bridge, that is, the Inge who has come here before Body.
"Leo, what's wrong with you?" Perhaps after seeing Leo past, there was no movement. The people here began to be anxious, and Jason's inquiry sounded immediately in this empty place.
"There are some small problems here. I will wait until I solve them." Leo replied loudly, and then tried to expand the spiritual network.
However, as he expected, his spiritual net only agitated under the scalp, and there was no way to send it out of the body.
"An unknown high-energy force field was discovered. The preliminary analysis has a repulsive property and is not absorbing. It can be used for psionic supplementation."
After losing the better spiritual net, Leo can only choose to turn on the spiritual vision, and the moment he turns on the spiritual vision, he immediately gains something.
Night vision, farsightedness and other vision skills make it easy for him to see the details of the surrounding things, and what really makes him gain the most is that he can see the surrounding psionic energy and the objects attached to the psionic energy.
I saw Leo's eyes directly on the sculpture in the center of the square. Under his visual skills, this statue, which was obviously carved out of stone, exuded a burst of strong spiritual energy.
Recalling that the high priest of Denny mentioned that there will be a guardian god’s creation around the altar of the Nirgard, responsible for guarding the safety of the altar, plus the Inge who just disappeared, and the psionic energy on the statue now makes Thunder Ou has every reason to put the object of doubt on this seemingly harmless stone statue.
"Bang!" Leo didn't even consider approaching the statue. He raised the king directly and aimed at the statue's head with a shot.
Special bullets enhanced by psionic weapons hit the statue's head instantly, and burst shrapnel shattered their heads.
However, the expected situation did not appear, and the statue did not respond to the attack, which made Leo, who had been waiting for it, feel a little puzzled.
At this moment, the statue that lost its head jumped from the base instantly, and the chest split up and down to form a large toothy mouth, rushing towards Leo.
Although the attack was a few seconds later than expected, it did not have any impact on Leo. Almost at the same time as the statue jumped, Leo had already reacted, raising his gun instantly and aiming at the four of the statue. Four shots, interrupting the limbs, leaving only a body flying a short distance in the air, falling heavily on the ground.
When the attack was just launched, Leo deliberately did not aim the gun at the torso of this statue. He needs to study what this is, so he knocked off his limbs~EbookFREE.me~Let it lose the ability to move, slow down Slowly concocting it.
The statue with only the torso does not lose its psionic power, but because the bullet fragments hit into the torso are attached with a lot of weak psionic energy, which produces an effect similar to radio wave interference, causing the stone torso to wrap around The psionic energy became very chaotic and disordered, making this torso twitch like a real person.
As for the broken limbs, because they were separated from the trunk as the core of psionic power, they changed back to the normal stone shape, fell to the ground, and broke into several pieces.
"Leo, what's wrong with you?" Jason and others immediately asked loudly after hearing the gunfire coming from the other side.
"It's okay, a little trouble, it's solved!" Leo responded loudly, withdrew the shell inside the king, reloaded five pieces of ammunition, and then looked around, and no other dangerous objects were found around him. Straight to the base of the statue.
I saw a loose stone slab on the base, and some blood could be seen from the cracks in the stone slab.
Leo reached out and lifted the stone slab, and saw that the Ingrid who had never been seen was tucked into the cavity of the base. The whole person had been completely twisted and deformed by the external force, and the blood was squeezed from the body. Come out, through some holes at the bottom of the base cavity into a special conveyor channel, and finally do not know where to go, but one thing is certain that this is definitely not a good thing.
After no other useful clues were found on the base of the statue, Leo returned to the broken bridge and hung the brought roller on the rope, connected a rope for pulling the roller, and looked at the rope again. Then put the roller back to the opposite bank, pick up the wall lamp just placed on the ground and shake it a few times, indicating that you can come over.
