Chapter 1015: New Evidence
Leo continued to climb down with the team of the Salvation Society, the abyss was deeper than expected, and after climbing for almost half an hour, he had not yet reached the bottom, but it was extremely unusual that the further down he went, the better the platforms for resting were built, and even at the back there was no need for ropes to climb, and a ladder had been built between the platforms and the platforms that had been carved out of the steep mountain wall.
At this time, the attentive Leo realized that he seemed to have made a mistake in the first place, and that was that the order in which these landing platforms were built was not from the top down, but from the bottom up.
Obviously, these platforms were not built by people from outside who wanted to go down to the bottom of the mountain stream safely, but by people at the bottom of the mountain stream who wanted to go outside to build these landing platforms.
"Could it be ......" Leo suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but put his head out of the platform again and looked down.
Because he had gone deep into the abyss of the mountain stream, there was no light that could shine in here, and it was pitch black all around, and he could only see the light of the fire in the hands of those people in the distance, and Leo could see the surrounding things clearly in the darkness through his psionic ability, which also made him see that there seemed to be a boulder on the cliff at both ends of the abyss of the mountain stream further down where those people were, and there seemed to be some buildings built on that boulder.
After discovering this situation, Leo couldn't help but suspect that there was actually a complete social system in the abyss of this mountain stream, a tribal system of believers with the god of eagles as the core.
Although this incident may seem absurd when you think about it, it is not impossible to feel it when you think about it carefully.
The Eagle God has been dead for so many years, and his body is hidden in the deep mountains and abysses, unknown to outsiders, but for the mountain tribes living in the Dibia Mountains, they should know that this mountain stream can run through the entire mountain range, and they will inevitably walk through this rift.
After the construction of Miria City, the rift in this mountain stream was used more often, and the number of people walking by it increased exponentially.
If the Eagle God has been planning for the resurrection, then he will definitely use the people walking on this rift to influence the minds of these people through various methods, and finally control them, so that they can bring more people into this mountain stream abyss, and in the long run, it is not impossible for an unknown tribe of believers to form at the bottom of the mountain stream, or even a small city-state.
Thinking of this, Leo felt that if his guess was right, then this matter became a lot more interesting, originally he was just going to solve those rescuers, but he didn't expect to be involved in so many secrets, and he even began to have a little expectation in his heart.
Leo continued to follow the rescuers below deeper into the abyss, and soon they came to the boulder that Leo had found stuck between the cliffs of the mountain stream and on which a building had been built.
Those people obviously did not expect to see such a strange structure in the depths of this mountain stream, and they all let out exclamations, and then they all realized that this was very abnormal, and they all entered a state of alert, and leaned into the building.
The building was not too complicated, but a temple building in the style of the ancient flange, which was very simple, with a low level of huge stones, and then a roof with several complete stone pillars, and some sculptures between the stone columns, and in the center of the building were statues dedicated to the gods.
However, this simple form of construction is not too difficult to put elsewhere on the ground, but to put it on this boulder, the difficulty is obviously not to improve so much, without the intervention of extraordinary power, it is basically impossible to complete such a construction task with the current level of construction industry in the world of Velon.
It was clear that the Salvation Society had no idea how difficult it was to build such a building on top of a monolith, and they were only concerned with finding something useful in the temple building.
In fact, after inspecting the building, they did find some useful things, such as some items left behind by the same team of men and horses they had sent out earlier, mainly some bandages, and it seemed that they had been attacked and injured when they arrived here.
But the strange thing is that there are no traces of fighting inside and outside the building, so some people suspect that those people should have gone down to a deeper place and were attacked, and they were injured and retreated to the temple, ready to rest, but when they were resting in the temple for unknown reasons, they disappeared.
The reason why they thought that the previous group of centaurs was missing in the temple was mainly because they didn't find any traces of people walking up from below on the previous road, so they judged that the previous people had an accident in the temple.
However, Leo found more doubts through the conversations of these people and his own observations, first of all, there was no statue of the main god in the temple, but the problem was that the statues between the stone pillars around the temple were all aimed at the middle of the temple, and it was obvious that there was a statue of the main god in the middle of the temple that was worshipped by everyone.
Secondly, the temple is too clean, especially the floor is not dusty, obviously this place is often cleaned, but now there is no one to see here, and even no living creatures can be sensed, the only thing that can be felt is that this temple exudes a strong divine power.
Yes, it is indeed the divine power, at the entrance above the abyss of the mountain stream, the power of the remains of the Eagle God that Leo feels is more inclined to a supernatural energy, similar to the innate power of the transcendent, only much stronger.
But now in this temple, Leo sensed a very pure divine power, the kind of divine power that belongs to the official gods.
"He's resurrected?" Leo immediately became suspicious after sensing this divine power, and this doubt and speculation made him feel the urge to go to this temple immediately to find out.
At this time, the people in the temple had already discussed it and decided to continue walking, because they all felt that they were almost at the bottom.
The group returned to the platform and continued their way down, and Leo came to the temple after they had left some distance, and examined it carefully and quickly.
Soon he found a lot of clues that he hadn't found before, the first one was that there was a statue of the main god before the temple, but this statue of the main god had been moved, and the place where the statue was placed on the ground was re-paved with a floor, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find the change in the color of the floor in the dark, and naturally they couldn't find the hidden details here.
The second discovery is that the divine power shrouded in this temple is not active, but lifeless, as if it is forced into this temple by relying on external forces, and this divine power is exactly the same as the divine power of the Lord of the Sky, but it is somewhat different from the power of the God of the Eagle that he sensed before, and people can't help but suspect that this divine power is forcibly withdrawn by the God of the Eagle from the God of the Sky Lord.
The third was the statues around him, and he found that although the statues were all human, they looked like some ancient generals and sages, but if you looked closely, you would see that these statues had a small hole in their chests that was slightly sunken, as if there should have been a gem in the hole.
Leo knew very well that the hollows in his chest were not used to place any gems at all, but rather parasitic patterns left by the Betu, a vassal race of Nephetits.
The Nephites are a high-level civilization race, and they are also a psionic race, and there will be a large number of low-level cosmic civilizations in the universe who are willing to become their vassal races, but in fact, there are only two vassal races recognized by the Nephites, one of which is the Betu.
The reason for this is not that those alien races of low-level cosmic civilizations look down on the Nephites, but that the Nephites are unwilling to recruit too many vassal races, and they will only recruit the right races according to their own needs.
Nephilites are powerful psionics, but their bodies are very fragile, especially on planets with gravity, and they have to wrap themselves in psionic energy at all times.
In order to compensate for the shortcomings of this race, they added the famous physical strength of the Betu to the list of vassal races, and handed over their protection and melee attacks to the Betul, which made the Betu a very famous warrior in the universe.
When Leo was a cyborg, he was required to seriously study some things about the Betu people and master some information about the Betu people.
The evolution of the Betu people is very special, they have to work seven life transformations in their lives, except for the first and last time they will maintain the form of the Betu people, the remaining five transformations will become parasites, parasitizing on the organisms with excellent genes, ingesting the genes of these creatures, making their own unique evolutionary gene pool, until the completion of the seventh metamorphosis, completely evolved to another higher life form.
The reason why the Nephites chose the Betu as a vassal race is because the Betu are extremely loyal, and it can be said that unless they kill the Betu with the task of guarding, they will never be able to harm the defended Nephites.
This also makes it possible to say in the universe that if you see the Betul somewhere, then the Nephites must be not far away.
Leo leaned over the parasitic stripe and looked at it, counting the long spines on the parasitic stripe, so as to determine how many times the Betu had evolved, and the protected Nephites were several levels of psionics.
The number of evolution of the Betu can be judged from the long thorns on the parasitic pattern, and the parasitism of the Betu is directly related to the growth of the Nephites.
Now Leo is almost certain that the Nephites who are protected by the Betu have reached at least the level of a ninth-level psionic, and judging from the current situation in the abyss of the mountain stream, this ninth-level psionic is likely to be the god of the eagle.
"Is this a problem?" Leo couldn't help muttering in his heart, because if the bottom of the abyss below really had a Betu guard, the companion of a ninth-level Nephita psionics, then the number of parasitism of these Betu guards would reach at least five or more, and their strength would probably not be much weaker than that of a sixth-level psionics, and if their parasitic genes were good enough, they would even be able to compete with seventh- and eighth-level psionics.
After a little hesitation, Leo decided to continue to see what was going on, but he would be more careful and would hide his body deeper, ready to withdraw in case of an accident.
In this way, Leo also left the megalithic temple and continued to walk down the platform ladder, but he was more careful, observed his surroundings more carefully, and used some conventional tactical stealth methods to hide his figure.
After walking for about ten minutes, Leo felt a burst of heat and sulfur smell coming from below, which made him instantly judge that this place should be close to lava.
At this time, the people who were walking in front of him had entered a man-made mountain passage, and when Leo reached the entrance of the passage, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from the other side of the passage.
From the emotions contained in the voice, Leo could tell that the person who made the voice was very surprised and shocked by what he saw.
Although Leo was extremely curious, he didn't plan to get up immediately, and after waiting for a while, another roar came from the passage, followed by the sound of some special firearms and mechanical crossbows, and some abnormal fluctuations caused by the explosion of divine power.
Finding that there was a battle in front of the passage, Leo did not rush in, but looked around, and found that there was a slightly protruding stone on the cliff not far away, which could barely let him stand on it, and the position above this stone was still recessed, so he could hide his body, so he quickly climbed on the stone, stood on it, and leaned his body against the sunken stone wall behind him, completely hiding his body.
Not long after Leo hid, he saw the members of the Salvation Society who had entered the passage rushing out of the passage in a panic, trying to climb onto the platform in front of him and escape from here.
But from the passage suddenly came a burst of ancient French prayers, accompanied by the sound of the prayers appeared with a light containing the divine power of the Lord of the Sky, these lights instantly fell on the people of the Salvation Society, the people of the Salvation Society The magic of the Lord of the Sky not only did not play a defensive role, but fused with the white light, becoming the power that imprisoned the members of the Salvation Society, and fixed them in place.
Then a burst of heavy feet came out of the passage, and then I saw a three-meter-tall, six-armed, puffy head monster come out of the passage, grab the members of the Salvation Society, and drag them into the passage with their terrible screams.
