Chapter 381: Shadows
The trunk of the tree that Leo had struck shattered into pieces as if it had been detonated by a small bomb, revealing a hole the size of a basin, through which a milky white object could be seen that was completely different from the surrounding wood, which was the heart of the Ancient War Tree.
Leo's fist was so precise that it opened an opening large enough to loosen the part of the tree that connected to the tree around it, causing only a small amount of damage to the tree center.
Seeing that the blow was successful, Leo instantly grabbed the heart of the tree, received it in the storage space, and then moved towards another tree that contained the heart.
In doing so, Leo took less than thirty seconds to remove all the cores contained in the three trees.
Removing the heart of the tree is the first step, and the next step is to get out of here.
Leo had already estimated the direction of departure, and as soon as he got his hands on the center of the tree, he immediately used all his strength to make a shadow jump, without hiding his body or holding back, and quickly moved through the shadows of the forest, towards the edge of the nearest small garden.
It was also the first time that Leo had cast the special bloodline witchcraft of Shadow Leap without any effort, and the effect of this witchcraft was somewhat beyond his expectations, it only took three minutes for him to rush out of the Forest of the Ancient War Tree, and five minutes later he was already on the edge of another forbidden forest more than ten kilometers away from the Ancient War Tree Forest.
Although the effect of the bloodline sorcery of Shadow Leap is very powerful, the continuous movement over a long distance like this consumes a lot of shadow power, and in just five minutes, the shadow power accumulated over many days is less than thirty percent.
In order to avoid accidents, he could not use the Shadow Jump, which is an excellent dodge of witchcraft, so Leo stopped casting the Shadow Jump, and used the magic that is generally used for movement, such as the lightness of the cat, to make his body light and agile, and to quickly shuttle through the forest with his own physical qualities.
Five minutes had passed, and he was already far from the Forest of War Trees, and Leo sensed that things might be safe.
And just when his mood relaxed a little, the ground trembled violently, making him immediately raise his vigilance to the extreme, and then he fixed a loud roar in the distance behind him, and accompanied by a gust of wind, and the reason for all this change was that the tens of thousands of large and small trees in the ancient forest of the war shook at the same time.
I could only see the roots of these Ancient War Trees arching upward, causing them to stand up from the ground where they were rooted, turning into legs that supported their bodies, making the Ancient War Trees look like a tree giant with a disproportionately tall and thin body.
And these war trees that stood up from the ground almost turned their direction at the same time, which was exactly the direction Leo left, and then chased after Leo at the same time like marching ants, so that they didn't need to dodge the obstacles in front of them at all, just hit the obstacles directly, so the place they passed through was left with only a mess, and they also opened a passage in the small garden.
Although Leo had no way to see what was going on in the Ancient Tree Forest, he could tell from the sound and the strong wind from the shaking of the ancient trees that the situation behind him was not optimistic, so he quickened his pace and hurried forward as fast as he could.
However, this method of movement was obviously much slower than the shadow jump, and Leo could feel the voices behind him gradually getting louder, albeit slightly, but it was already proof that the ancient trees of war were getting closer to him.
Leo made a quick estimate in his heart, and found that if he hurried like this, he was afraid that it would be a little difficult to leave the small garden before the ancient tree of war caught up, so he left according to the second set of plans, and the direction of his movement was slightly modified, from the safest road that would not encounter any danger to a road full of forbidden areas, and he carefully moved through the cracks in these forbidden areas as if dancing at the tip of a knife.
This movement makes the speed much slower than before, but if the existence of these forbidden areas is really as dangerous as depicted in the indicator map, then the presence of these forbidden areas should be able to help him stop the rampaging war trees when they break through, giving him plenty of time to leave the small garden.
After making the route adjustment, Leo buried his head in the road, and once he encountered danger, he would not entangle with the attacker, but directly cast a shadow jump to avoid the attack and continue on his way.
More than half an hour passed like this, and the sound behind him was several times louder than before, and just as the sound increased again, the huge sound that lasted for more than half an hour suddenly disappeared, as if the ancient tree of war that made the sound at that moment did not exist.
But then a louder, more chaotic sound came from behind Leo, and these sounds included the loud noises made by the movement of the ancient war tree before, and they were filled with some piercing monster roars, accompanied by some sounds such as crashes and explosions.
And what made Leo feel the most was a wave of psionic energy with a strength similar to that of the True Eye coming from behind him, and it was clear that the unknown existence in the forbidden area of that direction had the same power as the pseudo-god.
Knowing that his plan had succeeded, Leo did not stop to look back at the situation, but continued to hurry.
Because of the obstruction of those unknown dangerous existences in the forbidden area of the small garden, the distance between the War Ancient Tree and Leo widened again, but judging from the subtle changes in the weakening of the sound, the War Ancient Tree did not stop moving, but the speed of movement slowed down a lot, and it was obvious that in the face of the impact of so many War Ancient Trees, even the unknown existence in those forbidden areas could not withstand this flood-like impact.
Leo quickly estimated his movement speed and the advance speed of the War Ancient Tree, and felt that with his current speed, even if there was an unknown presence in the forbidden area, it would be very difficult for him to leave the small garden before the War Ancient Tree caught up with him.
Thinking of this, Leo quickly adjusted his plan, transforming the other chaotic forces in his body into shadow power through the power of nightmares one by one, and then cast a shadow leap again, completely letting go of his speed, and moving forward rapidly.
As the number and time of the witchcraft of Shadow Leap increased, Leo's understanding of this witchcraft became deeper and deeper, and his understanding of the power of shadows became more and more, and the power of shadows consumed by casting spells naturally became less and less, and his rejection of the power of shadows became weaker and weaker.
The power of shadow is generated from his origin bloodline, imitating the power of the bloodline of the witch Su, because his control over the origin bloodline is very low, coupled with the vigilance of various gods and imprints, he is very repulsed by the power of shadows and shadow witchcraft, and most of the time it is only used temporarily, and he does not think about concentrating on research.
However, this action in the small garden now allowed him to use shadow witchcraft for the first time for a long time and with all his heart, and it also made him gradually feel the mystery of shadow witchcraft, or the power of shadows.
In the past, Leo had always thought that the power of shadows was a power generated by himself, just like psionic energy, but as his understanding of the use of shadow jumps and the power of shadows deepened, he discovered that except for the power of shadows that he imitated with the power of nightmares, which was transformed through his own power, the other naturally generated shadow powers were not conceived by himself at all, but came from an unknown subspace.
This subspace is in the midst of all the shadows, overlapping with the other spaces, and after casting the shadow jump, Leo enters that subspace and moves rapidly through the subspace, just like a subspace spaceship.
Since the discovery of the existence of subspace, the exploration of subspace by various advanced civilizations in the universe has never stopped, but even after tens of millions of years of exploration, no advanced civilization still claims to have understood the rules of subspace, and even the existence of vertical and horizontal galaxies in the supreme council of the universe has very little understanding of subspace.
It's just that, after so many years of research, there will always be some research results, and among these research results, only a few can be confirmed to be the fixed rules of subspace, and one of these fixed rules is that subspace does not exist alone.
Just as there are galaxies, nebulae and star fields in the normal universe, there are many independent subspace debris in the subspace, and the entire subspace is like a sea full of bubbles, each bubble is an independent subspace debris.
Normally, these subspace debris are full of all kinds of spatial turbulence and chaotic cosmic laws, even if an omega-level advanced life form enters these subspace debris and does not find the right way to leave, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out safely.
It is precisely because of the existence of these independent subspace debris that the subspace is not lifeless, and these subspace debris, which are relatively safe compared to the subspace, will also give birth to all kinds of life forms, but just like the subspace itself is full of chaos and disorder, these life forms bred in the subspace are also disordered and chaotic, and the products of the order of civilization cannot be produced in the subspace.
Leo found himself performing the shadow jump, guided by the power of shadows, and the whole person glided over the edge of a subspace debris, neither entering the interior of subspace, but also able to move quickly with the help of the rules of subspace, because the power of shadows came from this subspace debris, so he also gave this unknown space a name of shadow space.
Discovering a new subspace debris, and having a way to access this subspace debris, this kind of thing is definitely a big deal to put in the universe where the Earth Federation is located in the past, and it may even alarm the powerful beings of the Supreme Council of the universe.
Because every subspace debris that can be explored and has a fixed entrance is a cosmic strategic material that is enough to relate to the level of civilization, it can be said that one of the conditions for the promotion of a lower civilization to a higher civilization is to have an independent subspace debris.
Although the subspace is full of dangers, the subspace is also full of wealth, as long as ordinary people can bring back a little material from the subspace, they can get a lot of money, and the cosmic civilization can directly carry out some scientific and technological research from the subspace that is enough to improve the level of civilization.
It's just that for Leo, it is useless to find a subspace debris that is so stable and overlaps so closely with the outside space, although he is very curious about the situation in this shadow space, but he also knows very well that his rash intrusion in this situation is no different from suicide, so after he gave this subspace a name, he focused on how to extract more shadow power from this shadow space for his shadow jump spell to consume.
Leo, who focused on shadow sorcery and shadow space, inevitably paid less attention to the movements of the outside world, and was more just discerning the direction of movement after getting out of the shadows.
After about ten minutes of moving like this, Leo could already see the edge of the small garden out of the shadows, as he could already see some of the towering buildings of the royal city through the gaps in the surrounding trees.
And just as Leo was about to enter the shadows again, intending to move directly outside the small garden this time, there was a sudden sound of wind and pressure caused by the fall of a huge object overhead, Leo didn't think much about it at all, and instinctively made a dodge action, wanting to re-enter the shadows, but this time he found that the shadow jump failed, as if the surrounding space was blocked by some invisible force.
Fortunately, Leo changed the method of dodging in time, and the witchcraft power blessed on his body did not disappear, and the whole person was like a flexible panther quickly moving out dozens of meters between the tree trunks, and the giant object that just fell by mistake came, but the impact of the giant did not dodge the shock wave from behind him, like a fly, directly slapped him out, hitting the trunk not far away.
At the moment of hitting the tree trunk, Leo adjusted his body in time, unloaded the excess impact force on the tree trunk, and when he landed, he had already turned his body and looked at the object that attacked him.
I saw that not far away, a huge tree trunk was straight to the ground, and the branches and leaves on the trunk were still clearly visible, and looking up at the top of the trunk, you could see a huge tree man hundreds of meters high and covered with various scars leaning down, although the tree man had no facial features, but Leo had a feeling of being stared at.
The Dryad seemed to notice that his attack had missed Leo, and immediately raised his huge arm to strike Leo a second time.
Seeing this, Leo immediately prepared to cast the Shadow Jump again to dodge the next attack of the Dryad, but the Shadow Leap still could not let him enter the shadows, which made him suspect that the Dryant had the ability to block space, so he had to use the usual method to quickly move on the ground and rush towards the small garden not far away.
