Chapter 1000: Soul Monster
After finding nothing useful in the recording room, Leo searched the temple again.
Compared to the Black Castle, the Temple of Neptune can be said to be extremely miserable, with a large number of bones lying quietly on the ground that has been covered with various plants.
There was no damage to these skeletons, one was extremely complete, and the position was very neat, row by row, judging from some of the remaining ornaments, these skeletons were not only the clergy of the Poseidon Church before their deaths, but also a large number of ordinary people, it seems that they should have performed some kind of ritual here before they died, and then a force killed them in an instant without causing them physical harm.
"Is it specifically for the power of the spirit or soul?" In Leo's memory, there are many skills and spells that can do this, such as the spirit storm skill that can only be used by psionic people above level seven, etc., once the spirit receives a fatal impact, it will either die on the spot, or it will become a vegetative person and wait for death.
Finding nothing else useful in the Temple of Poseidon, Leo moved to another place, sinking to the bottom of the sea, in the port of Landauer.
When Leo entered the ruins of Randall near the bottom of the sea, the expression on his face suddenly froze, because he sensed that there was an extremely faint energy fluctuation left in the ruins of Randall Port, and this energy fluctuation could be said to be deeply imprinted in his memory, so when he sensed it, he instantly remembered the source of this energy fluctuation.
"Golden deer!" Leo couldn't help but think of the Lord of the Black Forest, who was so huge that he stood tall in the sky, and at the same time, he couldn't help but guess in his mind, "Could it be that the port of Randall was trampled on by the Lord of the Black Forest?"
After this speculation came to mind, Leo immediately unfolded the mental web, completely covering the entire port of Randall and its surroundings, and then he saw an extremely obvious deer hoof footprint.
When his suspicion was confirmed, Leo gasped and wondered why the Lord of the Black Forest had left the Black Forest and destroyed the port of Randall.
With questions, Leo scanned the spirit net towards the ruins of Port Landall, and this time he no longer scanned from the surface as before, but went deep into the ruins.
Corpses, a large number of corpses have been scanned by the spirit network, and none of these corpses are normal human corpses, because all the bones are very twisted and deformed, and it can only be judged from some parts that they should be human mutated bones.
"Mutants!" Seeing so many mutated bones, Leo instantly thought of those mutant clans.
But Leo soon dismissed this speculation, because these mutants did not conform to the mutant family's mutation laws.
Although for various reasons, the body of ordinary people has undergone a variety of strange changes after the dependency, and in the end it is completely out of the human form, but no matter how serious the dependentization is, even if it is the non-control state of the family, there is a part of the human body that will never change, and this part is the skull, or more accurately, the inside of the skull.
In the mutation caused by the dependentization, the human head will also change shape due to the mutation, but the skull will never change, which means that no matter how serious the dependentization is, the size of the brain will still be the same as that of ordinary humans, but the brain itself may have some mutations.
However, now the mutants buried in the ruins that Leo found through the spirit network have all the organs on their bodies mutated, even the inside of the skull has completely mutated to the point of not being human, obviously this mutation is not a clan mutation, but more like a lethal mutation caused by some kind of genetic virus weapon.
The whole port of Randall was so badly damaged that it was pressed directly below sea level, and if anything remained, it was only a few solid building foundations, and nothing of use could be found otherwise.
Although Leo was able to find very little information from these ruins due to the destruction at the time and the time that followed, Leo was able to deduce some general circumstances from this information.
First of all, the accident must have been the Black Castle, and Sylvia also felt that things were very tricky, so she moved the people in the castle out of the castle for the sake of safety, judging from the fact that she still left some servants to take care of the castle, she definitely did not give up the castle at that time, and did not think that what happened would damage the castle, so she still kept the idea of returning to the castle.
But then things took a turn for the worse, and a serious accident occurred at the castle, forcing the United Kingdom to use the most powerful means to destroy the castle directly.
However, this method of destruction did not solve the problem, and the problem spread to the adjacent port of Landauer, causing the people who came to the port of Landall to mutate.
The Poseidon Church in Port Randall and the people who escaped from Port Randall performed some kind of ritual in an attempt to stop the disaster through the divine powers, but the results seemed to be not promising.
In the end, the golden giant deer, the lord of the Black Forest, suddenly appeared, completely erasing the port of Landall in the most direct way, and the temple of the Poseidon Church was too close to the port of Randall and was also affected, all the people who took refuge here and the original clergy all died here, and from the remains of the deceased are still well preserved, and the architecture of the Poseidon Temple is generally complete, the cause of their death may be to directly face a true god, or even a great existence beyond the true god.
While analyzing the situation, Leo slowly rose from the bottom of the sea and swam to the shore, he felt that since he could no longer find anything useful here, there was no need to waste time here, first go to the nearest nearby city to collect some information, understand the current situation of the Viron world, and then fly directly to the Moisan continent.
Just as he was about to use his psionic wings and fly out from here, there was a sudden loud noise from the forest in the distance, which should be caused by some kind of gunfire, and then he saw a team of heavily armed people running out of the forest in confusion and quickly rushing towards the direction of the Poseidon Temple.
The heavily armed men were dressed in a very strange way, not only were they wearing various cold weapons, but each of them was carrying a small machine with several pipes extending from the machine to connect the various large and small firearms they were equipped with.
"Damn, it's almost there, hold on any longer!" the leader shouted to his companion behind him, a phrase that seemed to contain some kind of power, restoring some energy and speeding up the pace of the already extremely tired man behind him.
However, not far from the forest, they saw a magical monster that looked like a two-story apartment emerging from the woods.
The reason why it is said to be magical is not because of its species, in fact, this monster is a common beast on the edge of the Black Forest, but its body is much larger than that of normal beasts, and some parts of the mutation have also occurred, making it look a lot more hideous.
What really amazed Leo was that its body was completely transparent, looking like a monster-like bubble from a distance, and it didn't seem to have a real body, because even if something stood in front of it, it passed through it, leaving only a thin layer of frost on the surface of the object.
This magical monster made Leo, who saw it for the first time, can't help but equate it with a ghost.
As soon as the monster burst out of the woods, it found the people fleeing in front of it and chased after them.
Seeing that the monster was chasing after him, the fleeing man couldn't help but speed up his pace again, and the leader of the team knew that he would definitely not be able to escape the monster's pursuit just by escaping like this, so he stopped, shouted for his companion to hurry up, picked up the strange firearm hanging on his chest, and took out a fist-sized jar from his waist and inserted it into the machine behind him.
At the same time as the canister was inserted, the machine began to run, and the air vent at the top spewed out a neat stream, and the three indicator lights next to it lit up at once.
I saw that the man immediately raised the gun in his hand, aimed it at the transparent monster that caught up, and shot a series of frozen bullets.
When these frozen bullets hit the monster, the monster's body immediately froze, which also caused the monster's speed to slow down, and it was completely frozen in place in the back.
After the monster was frozen, the man who was the leader immediately turned around and continued to run towards the Poseidon Temple.
However, the freezing effect of that bullet on the monster was not particularly long, and soon the monster was freed from the restraint and chased after it again.
Seeing this, the people who fled in front also took out their own ammunition, and made frozen bullets through the machine in the north, preventing the monster from approaching, and just like that, they fought and retreated, and finally the group finally entered the range of the Poseidon Temple.
When entering the area of the Poseidon Temple, the transparent monster chasing behind seemed to have some concerns, stopped, wandered two steps outside the temple, and yelled twice at the people who were still nervous in the temple, then turned around and prepared to leave.
However, the huge monster suddenly stopped its light steps, as if sensing something, and looked towards the bay formed by the sinking Taranke Harbor, and then rushed towards the bay as if it had gone crazy.
The huge monster ran away, so that everyone who had been tense couldn't help but relax, one by one breathed a long sigh of relief, paralyzed on the ground, among them several religious believers did not immediately sit down to rest, but quickly walked to the periphery of the temple square, took out a small altar, and then carried out some kind of religious ceremony, while carrying out the ceremony, the remaining trace of the sea god divine power on the sea god statue in the ruins of the temple seemed to have been replenished a little.
On the other side, the people who also did not rest were the leader of the team and several combat members, who quickly climbed up to a small dilapidated building next to it, stood on the top of the building, and looked in the direction of the monster's rush.
However, the sight that caught their eyes really shocked them, and they saw that the monster had not yet rushed to the beach, as if it had been attacked by some kind of attack, and the whole huge body shook and then disappeared from their eyes like a punctured bubble.
Rangers like them know very well how terrifying this kind of soul monster is, if it weren't for the fact that there was a group of soul weapons in this shipment they transported, maybe their team would have been wiped out under the first wave of attacks, but now this terrifying soul monster has disappeared in front of them, which makes them suspect that this giant monster is hidden, and at the same time, they are also expecting it to be killed by some kind of force.
"Does this monster know how to hide and disguise?" asked one of the armed men to the leader of the group.
Before the leader could answer, another armed man replied angrily: "Of course it can't be, these monsters will only rely on instinct to hunt, if they had wisdom, they would not have retreated just now, but would have rushed up and eaten us all." ”
"And what must have killed it?" said the armed man, not paying attention to his companion's tone, "Shall we go over and have a look?"
"Are you crazy?" it was the leader's turn to reprimand his subordinate, only to see him glaring at the other party fiercely, and said: "Have you forgotten where this is? This is the source of disaster, if it wasn't for being chased and there is nowhere to hide, I would never have come here, Shui knows that there is something terrible left here, I don't want to escape the monster attack, and die here inexplicably." ”
After saying that, he solemnly warned everyone again, looked back at the place where the monster disappeared, went downstairs, and then let everyone rest briefly, followed from the other side of the temple, into the forest, and quickly left here.
Obviously, the sudden disappearance of the monster just now frightened him, and made him quickly leave this place, leaving the place where the legendary disaster originated, regardless of the physical strength that everyone had not yet recovered.
When these people left, Leo's spiritual net was always shrouded in them, but Leo did not come forward to contact them, because he could see that these people were very nervous at the moment, and he dared to contact them, which would only make them more nervous, and he chose to use the spiritual net to lock these people, and then let these people act as guides to the nearest town.
As he followed these people from a distance, Leo also checked the soul crystals in his hands from time to time.
This soul crystal was contributed by the transparent monster just now, Leo felt that this monster might be some kind of soul-related monster, so when the monster sensed him and attacked him, he used the soul rune trap, a rune trap specifically for the soul, to deal with the monster, and the result was unexpectedly good, and the monster was directly destroyed by the rune power at the same time as the rune trap, as if he had encountered a natural enemy, and finally only a red soul crystal remained.
Leo was a little surprised when he first saw this red soul crystal, because the soul crystals he had obtained before were all silver-blue or transparent without exception, and this red soul crystal was the first time he had seen it, and he also clearly felt that this soul crystal contained a chaotic spiritual power.
