When he discovered that family's unusual psionic reaction, Leo unconsciously wondered if this family would be the reason why these family members were watching the fleeing team, so when he was strengthening the witchcraft on this family just now, he also paid special attention to the reaction of the webweaver.

Although the Webweaver was still as unhappy with Leo's spell as he had yesterday when he cast spells on the Evacuees, he had no other anomalous reactions, and seemed to have acquiesced in Leo's inappropriate behavior.

Leo, who couldn't find the anomaly, couldn't help but ask the webweavers, "Is there anything special about these people? Why are you webweavers so nervous about these people, and don't hesitate to come down and follow them all the way?"

Although Leo is asking these questions to the webweaver, he is not expecting answers from the webweaver at all, he is asking himself more.

Surprisingly, however, the eldest webweaver spoke, "Deed...... About ......"

"Contract?" Leo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the word, because the word was not in French, but in Gugamorei.

In the French language and in the languages of the countries of the world today, the word contract mostly refers to a commercial agreement between human beings, while in the ancient Gamorei language, the contract has only one meaning, that is, an agreement between humans and the gods, and this agreement usually refers to a sacrificial agreement.

When Rembrandt first taught Leo Gamore, he gave a special explanation of the word contract for more than an hour, and the content of the explanation was enough to make an interpretation book.

In the age of the gods, sacrifice was a very serious matter, and it was not possible to believe in a particular god and make sacrifices directly to that god. Before the sacrifice, human beings must first make a contract with the gods or the deity family so that the gods will accept the sacrifice, otherwise even the most devout believers will make such a non-contract sacrifice is only a blasphemous act.

It's just that with the end of the age of the gods, there are fewer and fewer things for the gods to appear in the world, and the formal sacrificial rituals have gradually disappeared, and with the continuous improvement of religious canons, legal codes and church structures, bloody sacrifices have been abolished as cult rituals, and normal sacrifices are more of a formal ritual, which eventually makes the sacrificial contract completely disappear from religion.

At present, among the various religions of the Orthodox Church, whether it is the Church of the Lord of the Sky, the Church of the King of the Hill, which can still receive the response of the gods, or those small churches that have not received any response from the gods, there is no need to make a sacrificial contract, and any believer and non-believer can perform the sacrificial rites approved by the Orthodox Church without the presence of any church members.

Now that the Webweaver is revisiting this ancient ritual that has been used in the world of Velon, Leo doesn't think it's just a casual remark, and more likely represents some kind of sign, such as the return of the Age of the Gods, as the Sacrificial Contract is arguably one of the most prominent signs of the Age of the Gods.

Thinking of the question he raised, Leo couldn't help but associate the sacrificial contract with these things in his mind, and secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that these people are being used as sacrifices?"

But after making a guess, he shook his head slightly and said to himself, "No, it shouldn't be like this, it's not as simple as a sacrifice." ”

In the age of mythology, just as humans and gods had to sign a strict contract before they could be sacrificed, the sacrifices were also very strict, and it was not just a matter of finding something and placing it on the altar to be sacrificed.

For example, the current team of more than 1,000 people did not meet the standard of sacrifice in the mythological era, so Leo felt that they might not be sacrificed, or not part of the sacrifice.

The forest shaded by the dense redwoods darkened faster than the valley with a wide view, and the evacuees had just set up camp and warmed up a little food, and before the hunters could set out to clear the dangerous beasts around the camp, the surroundings were completely dark, and only the sky above them still shone slightly.

Seeing this, the hunters had canceled the hunting operations that they knew about the surrounding beasts, because they knew very well how dangerous the forest would be after dark. However, they did not do nothing, and under the command of these experienced hunters, the whole camp was mobilized, reinforcing the fences around the camp, lighting a number of bonfires to disperse the beasts, and setting up traps in many places that were not very deadly, but could make a loud enough noise.

At the same time, Leo did not sit still and ponder the true meaning of the contract spoken by the Webweaver, although he had tried to ask the Webweaver for a more specific answer, but the Webweaver did not say a word, and it was clear that the word contract contained everything they could answer.

After asking to no avail, Leo turned to preparing for possible battles later, such as crafting some alchemical potions.

In the Dibia Mountains, plants that can be used as medicinal herbs abound, and Leo has collected a lot of them along the way, enough to make more than a dozen bottles of alchemical potions with different functions.

Among the potions made by Leo, in addition to the most familiar healing potions, the most refined are two magic hunter potions that require the assistance of nightmare power to successfully refine, one potion is called Paicui's elixir, and the other potion is called cat.

The effect of the cat potion is very similar to that of a potion called dark vision in the wizard potion of the Velen world, both of which can gain night vision after drinking.

Although Leo has been able to ignore the darkness by using psionic vision and psychic nets, once there is a fierce battle, every bit of psionic energy on his body is very precious, and may even determine life and death, so it is very important to be able to reduce unnecessary psionic energy consumption.

However, I don't know if it's because of the extra effect of the nightmare power, or because of the medicinal effects of the local herbs, all in all, the witcher's cat potion has produced some unexpected mutations after it was refined in the Velen world.

In addition to the fixed effect of night vision, the cat medicine that originally only brought night vision also had an effect similar to thermal vision, except that this thermal vision was not aimed at body temperature, but at blood.

After refining a bottle of cat potion and trying the effect, Leo found that his eyes could not only see anything in the darkness very clearly, but even those who were in the dark were completely in his sight, but these people all appeared in the form of reticular blood vessels.

Through the extraordinary vision given by the cat potion, Leo can see every detail of the blood vessels on any living creature, can see the speed and direction of blood flow in the blood vessels, and can even judge the mental activity of others at the moment through the constriction of blood vessels.

In addition, when he tried the effects of the cat potion, he also had some unexpected gains, such as seeing some lurking monsters in the forest that had not even been discovered by the spirit net before, and the number of them surprised him very much.

By the time the fleeing party had begun to camp on the hill, Leo had already scanned the surroundings with his spirit net, spotted some hidden clans, and scared them away. Originally, he thought that the area around the camp should be safe, but he didn't expect that after looking at it with the special vision given by the cat potion, he found that there were more than fifty monsters of different shapes hiding in the surrounding forest, one of which was less than three meters away from the camp, and a few people walked in front of it just now.

These monsters are beast-like in terms of the shape of the vascular network, but unlike different beasts, they have some more organs than normal beasts, such as an extra pair of lower limbs, an extra head or eyeballs, and so on.

However, in addition to these beast-like monsters, there are also some monsters that have no normal shape at all, such as the monster closest to the camp that covers the ground like some kind of flattened plant, suspended in the air at a distance of a few centimeters from the ground, and has a large number of root-like tentacles growing underneath, which can help this strange body shape move quickly and smoothly on the ground.

This monster seems to be particularly sensitive to sight, and when Leo's gaze falls on it, it immediately notices it, and its body moves quickly towards the depths of the forest with its body close to the ground, and when it moves, it also allows Leo to discover another of its physical characteristics, splitting and reorganizing.

When it encounters an obstacle like a tree in front of it, it will not go around to the side, but will naturally split off the moment it is about to touch the trunk, passing by both sides of the trunk, and then regrouping on the other side to completely ignore the obstacle.

If Leo hadn't been able to see the blood vessels on the monster very clearly, he might have mistaken this monster for a symbiote composed of countless tiny individuals.

In addition to seeing some monsters that he had never seen before or seen in books, Leo also recognized a familiar figure from the obvious vascular distribution characteristics of these monsters, and the appearance of this figure also made Leo have different associations and guesses about the meaning of the contract that the weaver said.

The body of the black panther, the limbs composed of chicken claws, and a parrot head, such obvious physical characteristics, it is difficult for Leo to forget, not to mention that this is the first time Leo has seen a living mythical monster since he came to this world, and his impression of it is naturally profound.

Mogandi is the name of this monster, it likes to eat the heart of its prey, is good at stealth, and more importantly, this monster has disappeared from the outside world, and only partially survives in the Black Forest.

But right now, this kind of monster that only has the breath of the Black Forest has appeared outside the Black Forest, and it has not appeared one or two, but a dozen, and each of them is a female.

In the books that Leo has seen about these mythical monsters, some of the living habits of Mogandi are recorded, which has been emphatically mentioned that this monster is a matriarchal beast race, usually a female with multiple males, the female goes out to hunt, and the male takes care of the cubs in the den, so the appearance of this group of Mogandi represents the existence of a Mogandi beast clan with a number of nearly 100.

If there were such a large group of fierce Mogandi in the Dibia Mountains, especially in the mountains only two days away from the nearest village, then the surrounding hunter villages would have been slaughtered by these monsters long ago, and the legends of the Heart-Eating Monsters would have spread throughout the Dibia Mountains.

However, none of the rumors about the monsters inhabiting the Dibia Mountains involve Mogandi, which shows that these Mogandi did not exist in the Dibia Mountains before.

At this time, Leo also thought of the scene when he encountered Mogandy, and also thought of the Black Forest Wonderland, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Could it be that the subspace of the Black Forest Wonderland has spread to the Dibia Mountains?"

Almost as soon as this conjecture came to mind, Leo shook his head and denied it, because if the place they were in was really shrouded in a subspace like the Black Forest Fairyland, there would definitely be abnormal psionic energy fluctuations around them, and it was impossible for Leo not to feel it with his current psionic level.

After ruling out the possibility of the Black Forest Wonderland's expansion into the Dibia Mountains, the only answer Leo could think of was that the mythical monsters that inhabited the Black Forest had expanded their hunting range to the Dibia Mountains.

The reason why Leo only guessed that the hunting range of these monsters had expanded to the Dibia Mountains, and not that these monsters migrated to the Debia Mountains, was mainly because these monsters were all psionic creatures.

With Leo's knowledge of psionic creatures, the survival of any psionic creature is inseparable from a psionic environment, and a place like the Dibia Mountains, no matter how much food there is, is like a desert for these psionic creatures. These psionic creatures may not have any adverse effects on their bodies if they leave the psionic environment where they have lived for a long time and hunt in such a psionic desert realm for a few days, but if they stay in such an environment for a long time, I am afraid that their bodies will be irreversibly damaged and mutated.

Leo, who made this guess, also associated with the Sons of the Swamp and other clans he had seen before, and in his opinion, those clans were likely to run out of the Black Forest Wonderland with these monsters.

"Why?" Leo vaguely caught some clues that could solve the mystery, but this clue was vague, so he cleared up his mind with self-questioning and self-answering, and said: "Why hasn't this phenomenon happened before?If the monsters of the Black Forest can leave the Black Forest freely to hunt, why haven't the people who used to live around the Black Forest been attacked by these monsters? Why did the web weaver answer me in the ancient Gagamorei contract when asked about these monsters and clans? What does this have to do with the sacrificial contract between man and god......"

As one question after another was asked in his heart, the thoughts in Leo's mind became clearer and clearer, and finally he found the core key, and his face also showed a solemn look, and he said secretly: "Louis X, the imperial army was able to cross the Black Forest unharmed and attack the West Francis continent, it is obviously related to what happened after Louis X entered the Black Forest, could it be that Louis X and the mythical creatures of the Black Forest concluded an ancient human and god sacrifice contract that day?"
