Chapter 612: Reflection
"Looks like I'm getting a little arrogant. Leo touched his eye, which had not fully regained his sight, and smiled wryly.
He carefully recalled his previous experience of contact with omega-level advanced life forms, and realized that what he thought was contact was not real contact at all.
In the universe, the omega-level advanced life forms he saw were all extremely far away from him, and they were protected by the energy field of the battleship itself, so they were not affected in any way.
As for the Viron world, the closest omega-level higher life form he saw was the golden giant deer he saw in the Black Forest, he always thought that the experience in the Black Forest at that time was his whole human experience, but now it seems that the original experience should actually be the experience of consciousness, but in that wonderful environment, consciousness and body seem to coincide.
After that, all the omega-level high-level lifeforms that came into contact were consciousness contact without exception, or they were close to the omega-level lifeforms like Bailu, and there were also life-level beings like the Lady in the Lake who were damaged for some reason, and they could not produce the absolute suppression of the high and low levels of lifeforms.
All in all, all the contact with the omega-level higher life forms that Leo thought before was not real contact, but it was different just now.
Just now, he tried to peek into the mysteries of the life of an omega-level high-level lifeform through the power of the True Eye in the Psionic Ability, but as a result, his own sixth-level psionic lifeform's life form could not withstand the mysteries instilled by such a high-level lifeform at all. If he hadn't noticed something was wrong in time, he immediately withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and closed his consciousness, maybe he would have had a genetic collapse, and the life energy in his body was detonated by this higher life form, like a lit torch, burning into ashes in an instant.
In addition to the palpitations, Leo can't help but have a new understanding of the dangers of the Luxury Forest.
Before, although Leo knew some about the situation of the Luxury Forest from Sylvia's words, and knew that there would be some dangers here, he never thought that it would be so dangerous, or that it would be so dangerous for people who were not witches to enter the Luxury Forest.
According to Sylvia and Thran, the most dangerous part of the Epluxe Forest is actually getting lost, because each time they enter the Epluxe Forest, the environment is different, and the forest is constantly moving over time, and it is difficult for them to tell where they are from the forest itself, except for a few fixed landmarks that allow them to discern their direction.
But they never mentioned that there were still living omega-level advanced life forms in the Agaric Forest, which made Leo suffer such a big loss when he first entered the forest.
Fortunately, this loss was not too late, and it did not affect his mobility, but it gave him a clear understanding of the dangers of the Luxuri Forest, and his future actions would not be as reckless as he had just been.
After adjusting his mind, Leo began to sense Sylvia's general direction through the blood in his body, and then quickly moved towards that direction.
Because of the inexplicable connection of blood, Leo and Sylvia were not far away, and while Leo moved towards her, Sylvia also sensed Leo's location and approached in the direction where Leo was.
Ten minutes later, the two converged in a grove of fruits full of bright red fruits and exuding a rich fruity aroma.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" asked the attentive Sylvia as soon as he noticed something was wrong with Leo's eyes.
"Nothing, it was just an accident. Leo motioned for Sylvia not to be nervous, and then quickly recounted what had happened to him in a relaxed tone.
"You just looked directly at a god?" Sylvia was stunned and asked puzzled, "Where?"
Seeing Sylvia's reaction, Leo frowned and said, "Didn't you feel the earthquake just now?"
Sylvia shook her head a little dazedly.
Seeing Sylvia's reaction, Leo also felt abnormal, according to Sylvia's position at the time, he could definitely sense the earthquake caused by that huge omega-level advanced life form, and even be able to see the other party's huge body in the fog, but now Sylvia said that he had not encountered anything abnormal at all, so there were only two possibilities.
One is that because of his non-witch status, he has caused the rejection of him by the Luxury Forest, and has produced some powers and illusions that he can't bear. The second is that the location he was just now and Sylvia's location were not in the same space, or the same forest, they were just forest space fragments connected by the special environment of the Epluxe Forest, and that huge figure was an omega-level advanced life form living in that space debris.
Leo thought the second was more likely than the first, as he had already remembered what the huge figure might be.
When the Earth Federation discovered Migalan, dozens of exploration teams were excluded to conduct the most comprehensive survey of the planet to determine whether it was suitable for human habitation, and in one of the reports, it was mentioned that there was a huge omega-level higher life form on Migalan.
At that time, the Earth Federation was very concerned about that report, because if Migaland had the activity of omega-level higher life forms, they would not be able to colonize it again.
Therefore, the Earth Federation launched a series of investigations on this report, first conducting a series of extremely rigorous energy detection, but did not find any omega-level higher life forms on this planet, and then used a limited number of data access rights to access the Supreme Council's information on the scope of activities of omega-level higher life forms, but all the information was checked and no information was found that there was any activity of omega-level higher life forms in the surrounding star fields of Migaland Star.
In the end, this report was shelved like most other investigative reports, the only difference being that it wasted a lot of precious resources, making it a must-have negative case study for planetary survey courses.
Although Leo hadn't really seen the exact shape of the huge object just now, the form revealed in the fog was very similar to the omega-level advanced life form mentioned in the report.
"What do we do now?" Sylvia didn't doubt what Leo said, she knew very well how amazing the Luxury Forest was, anyone who entered here would definitely encounter some accidents, but this accident was a little too big, a living god who could be seen, this was something she hadn't thought about before, so naturally she didn't prepare any corresponding coping plan.
"Let's do it according to the original plan!" Leo shook his head and said, "Let's not mess with our plans, do what we need to do, and if there is an accident, we will find a way to solve it." ”
"That's all there is to it. Sylvia nodded, then pointed in the direction to the right, and said, "The ancient tree should be over there, let's go over now!"
With that, she led the way, with Leo close behind.
Along the way, Leo also reminisced about the plans he had discussed with Sylvia and Thran, as well as several important locations in the Epluxe Forest.
According to Sylvia, while the Extravagant Forest often changes its environment, there are a few places that never change, including the Ancient Tree they are heading to, and the mountain where the True Wisdom Skull, where Leo's destination, is located, is also one of the places that does not change, which is also the location of the Witch's Graveyard.
It is precisely because of the particularity of these places that only the witch can clearly feel the location of these places, otherwise even if these places are close in front of you, they will be ignored by those who enter without witches.
Sylvia doesn't know how the Witch Graveyard was formed, but she knows that most witches will return to the Luxury Forest when death is near, and then go to the Witch Graveyard alone. Even if they die outside, many witches will ask the witch who has a good relationship with them to bring their bones back to the witch cemetery, and only a few people will choose to be buried outside.
Perhaps it is because the power that escaped after the death of the witch buried there has not completely disappeared, and these powers will entrench in the witch's graveyard, affecting the plants that grow there, and one of the plants can grow a very special fruit, which has an unusual effect on the witch's awakening bloodline.
It's just that the witch graveyard is affected by special powers, there will be some powerful witches whose souls will not dissipate after death, turning into a ghost-like existence, these witch ghosts not only have great power, but also are not afraid of any physical attacks, but also protected by the special power of that area, any intruder, unless it is the kind of witch who is on the verge of death, otherwise even the same kind of witch will encounter their attacks.
Both Sylvia and Thran have tried to break into the Witch's Graveyard in search of the fruit that can awaken the bloodline, but the results have not been satisfactory, let alone penetrating deep into the outlying areas.
But when they felt that Leo's power had a powerful restraining effect on the witch's power, they naturally thought of asking Leo to help them deal with the witch ghosts in the witch's graveyard.
They didn't need Leo to destroy all the witch ghosts in the witch graveyard, they just needed Leo to hold the witch ghosts for a while so that they could find the fruit.
As for Leo, after hearing Sylvia's introduction to the surrounding environment of the Witch's Graveyard, he knew that it was the mountain where the True Wisdom Head was located, and there was no conflict with his plan, so he naturally would not refuse.
According to the pre-discussion, if the few people are not together after entering the Epluxe Forest, they will immediately go to the Ancient Tree area to meet, because it is the only safe area in the Epluxe Forest, and non-witch intruders will enjoy the protection of the Ancient Tree even in that area, just like Leo feels now.
Almost as soon as Sylvia indicated that she had entered the confines of the Ancient Tree Sanctuary, Leo immediately felt the change in the energy fluctuations around her.
Before that, Leo felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire, the invisible energy around him had a negative impact on him all the time, although his body movements would not be restricted, but the power in his body could not operate freely, and it would take more energy and more focused will to be able to use various powers smoothly.
However, after entering the Ancient Tree Sanctuary mentioned by Sylvia, although there are still some adverse effects on the body, the effects are already very weak and almost negligible.
At this time, Leo also saw the ancient tree that Sylvia was talking about, this is a towering uncle, the top of the tree forms a huge canopy connected to the sky, and only some dark shadows can be faintly seen from the clouds.
The appearance of the ancient tree did not make Leo feel any surprise or surprise, not even a trace of unusual mood swings, which was obviously something wrong. Before that, Leo didn't even realize that there was such a huge ancient tree with a trunk diameter of more than ten kilometers not far in front of him.
Even now that he realized that the ancient tree had to appear suddenly, he still didn't have any doubts, any emotional fluctuations, as if the existence of this ancient tree was a matter of course.
Leo knew very well that his emotions should be affected by the energy field around him, because the energy field around him in his mental network was a state of peace that he had never felt before, which made him feel as if he had returned to the mother body of the debugging tank, and everything seemed so reassuring.
"Here we are. After walking through a relatively dense wood, the two came to the root of the tree, where there was a clearing, and in the clearing there were some beautiful treehouses that controlled the trees themselves, Sylvia stopped, looked around the treehouses, and said, "It seems that Thran has not come yet, we will have to wait a while." ”
Leo nodded, looking up at the huge ancient tree in front of him.
"Shocking, isn't it?" said Sylvia as she walked over to Leo.
"It's really impressive. Leo looked at the ancient tree and asked, "What is the origin of this ancient tree?"
Sylvia shook her head and said, "I don't know much about this, but legend has it that this ancient tree existed before the witch appeared, and maybe this ancient tree is older than the mother of plants in Moissan." ”
"Do you know where the Luxe Forest comes from?" asked Leo again.
Sylvia was stunned, not knowing why Leo suddenly asked this question, but she answered truthfully, "I don't know! But judging from the legends of the church, isn't this a sanctuary created by the gods?"
"Sanctuary?" Leo shook his head, as he remembered that some of the church's canons had said something similar.
"Isn't it?" Sylvia looked at Leo and asked, "So, do you know the origin of this love of luxury?"
"Know a little. Leo thought about it for a while, and felt that when he reached the peak of the witch's graveyard, he might still need Sylvia's help, so he chose to tell Sylvia what the white deer told him.
