Chapter 356: Back to the Tower
Instead of rushing out to deal with the monsters, Leo walked to the door, crouched down and drew a Turing root with runes in the doorway, then injected psionic energy, and retreated to the back of the house.
The incense litters and canine-like monsters at the door, which can only be seen through spiritual vision, are more like real hunters, they are not in a hurry to hunt their prey, but take their hunting dogs to wander around the prey, creating a terrifying atmosphere with their sounds, disturbing the prey's emotions, and waiting for the prey to reveal its flaws.
However, Leo's prey did not rush out of the house as they had hoped, making many of the means they had prepared useless.
After wandering outside the house for a while, some of the lantern lighters smashed their canes on the ground rhythmically, while others shook the lanterns in their hands, feeling like they were performing some kind of ritual and using some kind of gesture to whisper.
At this moment, the canine-like monsters suddenly fell silent, and they all lowered their bodies, their limbs clasped the ground, and their bodies trembled violently, as if something was about to emerge from their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the intertwined limbs of these monster dogs expanded rapidly, the forelimbs were raised, the hind limbs were standing, and it turned into an erect canine monster, and squeezed out a mouth from its body, all over the body, which looked extremely terrifying.
After all the changes of these canine monsters were completed, all the lantern lighters raised their canes in unison and chopped them on the ground vigorously.
As if they had received a signal, the canines scurried towards the hut, their powerful bodies crashing directly through the already tattered wooden walls and rushing into the hut.
However, before these canines could find their target, the magic array that Leo had drawn on the ground before, combining runes and Turing roots, immediately erupted with flame-like light, whether it was within the range of the firelight or outside the range, all the canines were on fire, and before they could scream, they turned into a pile of ashes.
The power of this flame was not over, and after all the canine monsters were burned to ashes, they immediately expanded outward like an infectious disease, and the surrounding lantern litters who were still in shock were all ignited and burned rapidly. It's just that, compared to the previous dog monsters, the burning process of these lantern incense lit people is much slower, and these lantern incense lit people not only do not struggle painfully, but seem very calm.
When the flames burned away the masks that covered their faces, the lantern-lighters revealed the faces of ordinary people, and these faces showed a look of relief, as if the flames were helping them to be freed.
After all the lantern lighters had turned to ashes, all that remained on the ground was a pile of palms and lanterns.
Leo came out of the depths of the room, stood next to the rune magic array, crouched down, grabbed it in the air above the rune magic array, looked like he had grabbed something, picked it up and put it in front of his eyes.
Under Leo's vision, he saw a cloud of white light gathered in his hand, and clearly felt the warmth emanating from this white light, that kind of warmth was not physical warmth, but the spirit, and even the deeper soul also felt that kind of warmth, under the shroud of this warmth, people couldn't help but produce an unusual calm mood.
This is a by-product of the witchcraft of the soul bonfire, the effect of the soul bonfire witchcraft is very single, only for the soul itself, but the effect is very amazing, Leo has also performed it before, and after casting, he can always find some high-energy substances such as soul spar fragments from the ashes, but after casting it like now, the condensed soul fragment turned out to be such a large ball of light, which really made him puzzled.
Just like other soul fragments, without any processing, the power contained in the ball of light is also dissipating outward, seeing that the ball of light is rapidly weakening and shrinking, Leo decided to use it, as for the method used, it is naturally the same as the soul fragment, just crush it directly.
The ball of light is very fragile, Leo pinched it a little harder, and the ball of light completely dispersed, turning into countless points of light and pouring into Leo's body, Leo felt that warmth melted into the soul of the Dao, and the exhaustion of body and mind was also washed by the warmth, gradually weakening and disappearing, just like the use of combat hormones when he felt tired in the previous battle.
Leo had used soul shards before, but the effect of soul shards was obviously not comparable to this ball of light, and it was clear that the lantern incense litters who were burned by the soul bonfire in the end were not ordinary.
Thinking of this, Leo recalled the last moments of the faces of those who lit the lanterns and incense, and although most of them did not recognize Leo, there were two faces that Leo recognized, because he had seen them in a history book.
These two faces belong to Joy Wilson, the Governor of the First Fleet of the Kingdom of England, while the other is more famous, Franco Berber, the naval hero of the Sigma Empire, after whom the Sigma Invincible battleship Franco is named.
The portraits of both men were engraved on the history of the Vilen Sea and other history books, and the portraits were painted by the best painters of the time according to the ratio of their real appearances, which is why Leo was able to identify them so quickly.
These two sea heroes all died in shipwrecks without exception, and their bodies were not found, who would have thought that these two world-famous people would become the lantern lighters here.
Although Leo still doesn't know what the identities of the other lantern litters are, since they can stand with these two sea heroes, their status is not low, so they should all be famous in their own fields.
"He has a great reputation in the world, and he is a true hero in his own right, and the soul fragments burned with a soul bonfire are more complete and effective. Thinking of this, Leo also had the answer in his heart.
Leo thought as he walked over to the pile of burned ashes and picked up a cane and lantern on the ground, which he found to be made of bone despite their metallic appearance, and that the surface of the cane was covered with mystical patterns, and the flames in the lantern burned slowly without any fuel.
However, before Leo could study the two items carefully, the two items in his hand and all the walking sticks and lanterns left on the ground were all petrified, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into stones, and the flames in the lanterns also petrified into flame-like stones as if they had become real objects.
Not only were his palms and lanterns completely petrified, but Leo noticed that the surfaces of his clothes and nails were also beginning to show signs of petrification.
Thinking that the petrified cane and lantern might have been caused, Leo immediately discarded them and quickly moved away from where the petrified cane and lantern had fallen.
But the problem is that even if he did, the signs of petrification on the surface of his nails and clothes did not weaken, and continued to spread slowly.
This situation made Leo immediately realize that he had misjudged the direction, and that the cause of his petrification was not his cane or lantern, but the power that shrouded him and could not be felt.
At that moment, signs of petrification covered the entire surface of Leo's nails, and began to come into contact with the flesh under his nails and the skin around him.
The spiritual energy on Leo's body automatically reacted and poured into Leo's fingers, driving out this external force, and this foreign petrified power did not have too strong resistance ability, and was quickly dispersed by the spiritual energy, and the signs of petrification on the body also subsided, but the petrified power did not disappear, once Leo's spiritual energy was withdrawn, the petrified power would work on him again.
After discovering this situation, Leo immediately thought of the lantern incense lighter and the dog monster that he had solved before, and it was obvious that the appearance of the petrified power had something to do with this matter, and the lantern incense lighter was controlled by the Yam people, so this petrified power must also be related to the Yam people.
So Leo jumped onto a tall stone house and looked around, although the gray fog obscured his vision, his spiritual vision could still have an effect, through the gray fog, and saw the spiritual energy fluctuations on the surrounding towers, and soon he found that there was a high tower on the spiritual energy fluctuations very strong, it was obvious that there should be some ritual going on there, and the location of the tower was just near the giant's gate.
After finding a target, Leo didn't care whether the target was really related to the petrified power that permeated the surroundings, so he rushed straight from the roof of the house to that side, and when he encountered some wide streets, he didn't jump from the stone house, but directly jumped more than 100 meters and landed on the roof where he wanted to go in a way that exceeded the limits of human beings.
Leo did not rely on psionic energy, witchcraft, or the power of the physical body, although the physical body has evolved, it is not difficult to jump a hundred meters, but in this case, the force of the soles of the feet will definitely cause the destruction of the reaction force to any object under his feet, and the landing will definitely not be so light, like a feather.
The power to help Leo make this jumping action actually comes from the divine imprint that the victim put on him just now, when his spirit comes into contact with this divine imprint, the same method of casting a divine spell as other divine imprints is also instilled in his mind, and the divine magic given by the martyr is very special, it actually gives extra running speed, jumping span and evasion agility, that is, he gives his legs extra strength and achievement, just like he uses spiritual vision to strengthen his vision.
For this kind of magic that is not a direct attack, but an overall improvement of his own quality, Leo does not have much repulsion in his heart, because it will make his battle easier, and why do the victims have such a magic technique? It is not surprising to think about it, after all, the vast majority of the believers of the victims are all kinds of refugees, they have to travel every day, some obstacles can only jump over by themselves, and they must avoid some unexpected attacks, so this kind of magic is of great help to those refugees.
On the way, Leo didn't take too long, even if he encountered some strange-looking and terrifying-looking monsters roaming the streets, and there were some ordinary people hiding in the stone houses whose bodies were parasitized but not mutated, he had no intention of helping, because he already knew very well that these parasites that looked indistinguishable from living people were actually dead people, dead people who had been rented by certain forces and given flesh.
When he came to the house on the outskirts of the White Tower, Leo was stunned, for he saw that the tower and its surrounding stone houses were very similar in appearance to the shelters he had seen in the inner world, the only difference being that it was much older, with the walls covered in pitted scars and the skulls of monsters and humans hanging from the pointed feet around it. The ground had been stained a dark red with blood, and like all slaughterhouses, it was filled with the stench of decay and the suffocating smell of blood.
Due to the rental of psionic suppressors, Leo was unable to use the psychic web to probe the situation inside, but through his extraordinary hearing, smell, and vision, Leo was still able to distinguish that there were no living creatures in the stone houses around the tower.
Upon discovering this, Leo boldly jumped off the roof, stepped on a thick layer of nearly dry plasma below, deftly avoided all the spikes on the spiky road, pushed open the door made of all bones, and walked inside.
After entering the stone house, the situation inside the house is completely different from the outside, there is no smell of blood here, there is no disgusting stench, and the floor is neat and clean. As with the shelter, a large number of houses have been built here, and all of them can be found in the same one in the shelter.
In addition to the normal house accidents, there are also plantations and blacksmiths, but nothing is planted in the plantations, and there is no flame in the forges of the blacksmiths. The most peculiar thing is that there is not a single person in the stone houses around the entire tower, completely empty, and there is no trace of anyone's life.
"Strengthened. When Leo entered the stone house, he was not attracted by the sight of the shelter, but looked at the nails and sleeves of his coat that had reappeared with petrification.
Although he couldn't really feel this power, judging from the signs of petrification on his body, it was obvious that the petrified power here was much stronger than outside, which also proved that he was not looking for the wrong place.
Once the location was confirmed, Leo immediately headed to the place where the tower was, and the journey took only a short time, and he was soon standing outside the tower's door.
The gate of the tower of the sanctuary was an iron gate, without any decoration on the door, and it was extremely simple, but the gate of the tower that appeared in Leo's eyes was bronze, and it was covered with various dents and scratches, and the shape of the gate was also distorted, and it looked like there were many people with weapons attacking the gate.
Because the gate has been twisted and deformed, a crack has opened in the middle, Leo directly drilled through this gap and entered the tower, and the moment he entered the tower, the petrification power that fell on his body strengthened again, his fingernails were petrified again, and the clothes on his body naturally turned into hard stone slabs.
