Chapter 250: Soul Humanity
In the following two days, although Leo experienced a lot more battles than before, almost a dozen battles a day, or it can be said to be a massacre, this fulfilling combat life made him feel very comfortable, and a large amount of combat experience also provided him with a favorable help to adjust his combat style and form a new combat mode. All in all, he has had a relaxed and happy past two days.
Compared to Leo's state, the fleeing team secretly protected by Leo is obviously not doing so well.
Although Leo kept clearing out those monsters and clans in the Black Forest along the way, there were always a few fish that slipped through the net, coupled with the fierce beasts that already existed in the forest, so that a large number of unintentional deaths began to occur in the fleeing team in the past two days.
Among the dead people, in addition to the dozen or so people who were attacked by wild beasts who accidentally left the team and were able to find the bodies left behind after their deaths, the other dozen or so people who were attacked by the clans who infiltrated the camp could not even find their bodies, and this could not be found not only by the people in the fleeing group, but also by Leo.
After the webweavers directly relayed the news of the camp being attacked by their clans to Leo through some force, Leo secretly returned to the camp and checked the situation at the location of the attack. Although most of the traces were inadvertently destroyed by the camp for various reasons, there are still many traces that can still provide Leo with a lot of useful clues.
From these clues, Leo deduced that the attack had happened suddenly, almost in the blink of an eye, and no one had reacted, and then all the attackers disappeared in place, as if swallowed by the space around them.
Leo couldn't figure out what kind of Black Forest monster or clan had attacked these people, so he asked the Webweaver to see if there was any clue to the Webweaver, and to his surprise, even the Webweaver didn't know the identity of the attacker, but only knew that the threads on the victims were broken.
There were dozens of casualties and disappearances, coupled with walking in the dark forest with no end in sight for a long time, which made the hearts of the fleeing team more and more panicked, although Barak had strong organizational skills, but in the face of this overall morale and people's heart, he did not have a good countermeasure to solve it, so he could only speed up and let the team's morale fall out of control before it was out of control.
Fortunately, Barak was very familiar with this road, and he did not make a mistake along the way, and his estimate of the distance was very good, and finally the evacuation team walked out of this dark giant redwood forest on the fourth day after entering this river forest, and came to the foot of the Arfeng Mountain.
The peak of the Arle is the highest peak of the Dubia mountain range and the symbol of the Dubia mountain range, although it is named after the peak, it is actually a steep ridge that follows the mountain range and traverses east and west, and from a distance it looks like a giant wall inserted into the clouds dividing the continent of West France into north and south.
The ridge of the Alfonjord is very steep, almost vertical, and covered with a fragile layer of snow and ice all year round, which looks sturdy when stepped on, but is in fact soft and prone to avalanches at any time, which is one of the main reasons why it is believed impossible to climb the Dubia Mountains.
Although the fleeing party came out of the forest and bathed in the sun again, they did not feel any warmth, not only because the cold wind in the mountains carried away all the heat of the sun, but also because the high ridge and high wall they saw in their eyes were enough to make people feel desperate in their hearts.
Everyone present had only heard how strange the terrain of Ar Peak was, and they had only conceptually understood the mountain peaks in the clouds, but what they heard and what they saw in front of them had a completely different impact on their hearts, and many people began to wonder if they could climb over this wall of the world, including those powerful people.
Barak was a particularly sensitive man, and he quickly sensed that something was wrong with the group, so even though it was still noon, and he had just rested for a while, he did not lead the team any further, but immediately after leaving the forest, he found a small hollow near the forest, leeward and sunny, and began to camp there.
Before setting up camp, he gathered everyone together and told everyone in a very sincere tone that they didn't have to worry about this wall of the world, they didn't need to climb the mountain at all, because he knew that a canyon that ran directly through the entire mountain could pass through the canyon and easily reach the other side.
Barak's openness did save some morale, but the people in the evacuation team were still a little nervous, because Barak did not say exactly where the canyon was, and it was difficult for them to settle down until they saw the so-called canyon that ran through the Dibia Mountains with their own eyes.
Although Barak knew very well that his approach was not particularly effective in stabilizing the hearts and minds of the fleeing team, he had done everything he could, and everything had to go with the flow, but fortunately, the powerful people he had closely protected had settled down because of his words, so his pacification was not a complete failure.
When the fleeing party set up camp, Leo patrolled around the territory around the team, as he had done two days before, preparing to clean up the monsters and clans of the Black Forest that had gathered like flies, but to his surprise, not only did he not find any clans and monsters in this circle, but there were no traces of beasts walking on the ground, as if this was a forbidden area of life.
"What's going on?" Leo felt that something was wrong as he expanded his patrol and still found no trace of any monsters, clans, or beasts.
Subsequently, he used spiritual network, psionic perception and spiritual vision to survey the surrounding environment, and also found no abnormalities. Or more accurately, the biggest anomaly in this place has always been in front of him, but he has ignored the past before, and only discovered it after careful analysis, and this anomaly is that there is no trace of life on the ground covered with thick snow, not even a single grass, which is completely unimaginable under normal circumstances.
"What's wrong with this land?" Leo, unable to figure out why, had to use the shadows to avoid the crowd and sneak into the camp, asking the webweavers who were still following the fleeing procession, and after he explained the surrounding situation, he asked directly.
However, the webweaver's face was also full of confusion, and he motioned for Leo to reach over, and then tapped his finger on the back of Leo's hand, and the spider tattoo that had disappeared before resurfaced, and his vision changed again, and the world web reappeared in front of his eyes.
It's just that, compared to the world web on his head and the image of the spider on the upper layer, the scene of the entire mountain area in front of him attracted his attention more.
In the past, Leo could see the threads on everyone's body that were connected to the world's web through the effect of spider tattoos, but now he could see not only the threads on people, but also all the plants and other living forms in the giant redwood forest not far away. These threads are densely intertwined and reach into the sky, weaving a denser and more detailed web of the world under the great web of the world that has been seen before, and the weaver who wanders in this new web no longer has a human form, but a pure spider form.
This change also made Leo understand that the world net above his head should be composed of the soul line of every life in the world, and the level of the world net determines the biological level of the life forms in the net. In addition, in addition to intuitively judging the level of the life form from the level of the world net, the color of the soul line that the life form has also shows the level of their life form, the lighter the color, the lower the life form level, and the darker the color, the higher the life form level.
However, in the world woven by the endless soul thread and the world net, there is a huge blank that exists very abruptly in this world, and this blank is extremely huge, almost equivalent to the entire Arfeng region, such a huge blank seems to be able to tear apart the world net in the sky, which makes people see an inexplicable sense of panic.
"What's going on?" Leo asked the same question again, only now in a different direction.
"Black ...... Forest...... Lin ...... "The webweaver spat out a word with great difficulty.
Although the webweaver only said one word, Leo already understood what the other party meant, and it was clear that the other party wanted to say that the situation in the Black Forest was the same as here.
But Leo did not agree with this statement, because there is life in the Black Forest, even if those lives are no longer under the control of the webweavers, but there is no life in the area within the Alfeng Mountains in front of him, which is completely different from the situation in the Black Forest.
The webweaver seemed to see what he was thinking from the look on Leo's face, and then clicked on the spider tattoo on the back of his hand.
Leo's vision changed again, and the soul line, the world net, and other scenes all disappeared, and even the people around him disappeared, leaving only a cloud of phantoms.
"Are these the phantoms of life?" Leo couldn't help but guess when he saw them.
Hearing Leo's words, the webweaver corrected, "No...... It...... Guys...... Be...... Spirit...... Soul...... Person...... Sexual ......"
When Leo heard this, he also looked thoughtfully at the humanity of these souls around him.
I saw that most of these soul human nature were outlined in the form of a cloud of water droplet-shaped mist outlining a vague human form, and the outer part of the human form was a thin layer of silver light, which was like a layer of protection and a layer of imprisonment, condensing the soul human form together and preventing it from drifting away.
In the soul of human nature, everyone's performance is different, some people are pitch black, like a dark night without starlight, and there are some bug-like things in the black soul that burrow in it, which makes people can't help but have an inexplicable feeling of nausea. This feeling of nausea is directly in the soul of the viewer, although it is not very strong, but it cannot be stopped, in the face of this nausea, even a strong-willed person like Leo will feel a little uncomfortable, and other ordinary people may be mentally broken by this nausea if they see it.
In fact, the humanity of the vast majority of people is gray-black, like a stained white cloth, and only a very small number of people and children's humanity is gray-white or pure white, so that those who see it can clearly feel the purity contained in it.
It's just that these souls that originate from humans are not the focus of Leo's sight, the focus of his eyes is on the soul humanity of other creatures, because he finds that the place where he originally thought that there were no living beings is full of all kinds of non-human soul humanity, or the soul origin can also be.
Perhaps because of the low level of creatures, most of the souls and human nature of these trees and beasts are just a mist, without any form at all, and their interior is also a mass of gray, and this gray is not the kind of gray with light in the human soul, but pure gray, without any light revealed.
Seeing the soul humanity of the animals and plants scattered throughout the region made Leo realize that there was actually life here, but they were all in another subspace that overlapped with the world of Velon, and people in the world of Veron could not see these animals and plants.
"Black Forest Wonderland!" Seeing this, Leo's mind immediately came to the idea that Su had said that Louis X had dedicated the Seven Mountains to the Black Forest as a hunting ground.
Before that, Leo just thought that those Black Forest monsters and clans left the Black Forest through the power of the contract and entered the Dibia Mountains to hunt, but the current scene made him think of another possibility, that is, the Black Forest Wonderland has spread out of the Black Forest under the power of the contract, and it has merged and overlapped with the mountains formulated by the contract, just like the overlapping relationship between the Black Forest Wonderland and the Black Forest.
If it really is the same as the Black Forest, then the danger here is difficult to estimate, and it will be very difficult for Leo to escape from this environment, let alone the current refugees.
Leo now has no other companions to discuss countermeasures and ideas, so he can only tell the webweaver what he is thinking of now, and the webweaver seems to be very concerned about Leo's statement. After listening to Leo's words, he did not answer immediately, but entered a state of trance, which seemed to be in a daze with several other web weavers, as if they were discussing something with their companions on the world web through the thread that connected them.
Only a few minutes had passed, and several of the webweavers recovered from their trance, and in very simple words to Leo, they said the result of their discussion, "Re...... No...... Stacked ......"
"Coincide, but not superimpose, right?" Leo asked, confirmingly.
The webweaver nodded.
After getting the confirmation, Leo's originally nervous mood relaxed a little, and he felt that things were not bad.
