"I thought I could give it a try. Leo looked at Nelson and asked, "Doctor, what about you?"

"I'm fine. Nelson nodded.

So under the gaze of everyone, Nelson put his hand on the stone platform.

"Something seems to have pricked my finger. Nelson, who had just put his hand on it, immediately let out an exclamation and raised his hand to look at the painful part of his fingertip, but he couldn't find any wound on his finger, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Sean said with some disdain: "Cousin Nelson, you are making too much fuss......"

Leo interrupted Sean's taunt, pointed to Nelson's face, and said, "Doctor, why has your face become so pale!"

At this time, everyone realized that Nelson's face was still ruddy and normal a moment ago, but now his face was as pale as an albino, and before everyone could understand what was going on, Nelson suddenly fell to the ground and passed out.

Catherine, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to check, and soon had the result, and said suspiciously: "He has lost too much blood and is unconscious." ”

"Excessive blood loss, what's going on?" the crowd looked dazed, completely at a loss.

Only Leo stared at the changing stone platform in front of him and said, "The doctor's blood is in the stone platform. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked towards the stone platform, only to see that the stone platform that was still plain just now was as black as obsidian, and a trace of blood that emitted red light gradually spread from the top like the blood vessels of the stone platform, covering the entire surface of the stone platform, and continued to extend to the ground.

"Damn," Sean hurriedly took a few steps back when he saw that the blood was about to spread to his feet, and habitually looked for an escape exit, but what he saw in front of him made him feel extremely frightened, and shouted: "Exit!

As Sean's frightened shouts reached everyone's ears, their eyes couldn't help but look towards the passage where they came, and the scene that caught their eyes was just as Sean said, the passage that had just been entered disappeared and became a stone wall that merged with the surrounding stones.

Not only the entrance to the passage on this side, but also the bronze door on the other side quickly disappeared under the gaze of everyone, and also turned into a stone wall, so that the cave became a dead place without an exit.

"How so?" everyone looked at Leo, who was the backbone, as they were all frightened by what was happening in front of them.

However, unlike the worried and panicked faces of the people around him, Leo's expression was very calm.

For Leo, the entrance to the passage and the bronze gate that turned into stone walls were not a problem, because the two stone walls were just illusions, and his spiritual web could still clearly perceive the location of the two passages.

What really made him feel extremely threatened was the stone platform in front of him where the high-energy force field was changing.

From the moment when a quarter of Nelson's blood was instantly withdrawn from the stone platform, Leo's main attention has been on the stone platform, collecting a large number of spiritual energy changes inside the stone platform through the spirit network.

He found that Nelson's blood seemed to be some kind of catalyst, causing the originally inactive psionic energy in the stone platform to tumble like boiling water, and constantly emitting waves of psionic energy outward.

Although these psionic waves are not comparable to the psionic waves before High Priest Denis in terms of lethality alone, this psionic wave can penetrate into the spirits of the living creatures around them and affect the emotions of everyone around them, for example, everyone will become so panicked and difficult to calm down now, because of the influence of this psionic wave.

Judging by Leo's reason, he should immediately use the weapon in his hand to decisively destroy the stone platform at this moment, so as to prevent the stone platform from completing its final transformation and triggering the real psionic equipment power in the stone platform. But his curiosity was holding back his sanity, because he wanted to see what would happen to Shitai when he finally completed the change.

And just when the two emotions were anxious, the blood streaks that spread out from the stone platform to the surrounding areas finally covered the entire cave, including the stone wall on the top of the cave, which was also covered with vein-like lines.

At this time, all the blood streaks burst out with a strong light at the same time, and the high-energy force field contained in the light forced Leo's spiritual net back into his brain, and at the same time, his spirit appeared blank for a moment, directly making his eyes seem to be blind and unable to see anything.

When Leo's spirit returned to normal and his eyesight returned, he was slightly surprised by what he saw.

I saw that he was no longer in an underground cave at the moment, but standing in the stands of an ancient arena.

Right now, this ancient arena was shrouded in endless black fog, which made him feel as if he had returned to the other dimension that his spirit had inadvertently broken into when he activated his psionic energy that day.

Perhaps due to disrepair, or for other reasons, the facilities of the arena are very old and dilapidated, and the carvings on the surface of the stone are all weathered and uneven, and it is no longer possible to see what it was in good condition in the past, and you can only feel the grandeur of the time through the overall appearance of the arena building.

For unknown reasons, the surrounding stands and the walls at the top of the stands were all covered with cracks of various sizes, and in some places they simply collapsed, and a large amount of black mist surged in these cracks and breaks, squeezing inward, as if they wanted to invade the interior of the arena from these broken places, swallowing the entire arena.

Although the entire arena has the feeling that it will collapse at any moment, the arena's arena is still relatively intact.

In addition to the two twenty-meter-high, two-meter-diameter stone pillars erected in the center of the arena and the two huge metal balls with patterns printed on the surface at the top of the stone pillars, they are particularly eye-catching.

In addition, the red sand that spreads throughout the arena is also very special, because judging by the thick blood here, the red color of the sand is not dye, but real blood.

Leo calmly observed his surroundings and searched for the whereabouts of the others, but strangely enough, no one was to be seen except for High Priest Denis, who was standing at the edge of the stands not far away.

"Is it because of psionic powers?" Seeing this, Leo quickly thought that he and High Priest Denis were both psionic people, which might have something to do with the fact that only the two of them would appear in this arena.

Leo felt that High Priest Denis might know the specifics of this place, so he walked over to him, and as he walked over, he quickly checked his own state, and found that there were no anomalies, and his psionic skills could also be used freely.

The only problem was that when looking at the parabrain system's data records, the process of his arrival here was blank, as if his parabrain had stopped working at that moment, something that had never happened before.

"High Priest Denis, do you know what this place is?" Leo asked directly as he walked over to Noble Priest Denis.

The high priest of Denis, who was always wearing a hood, was silent for a moment, and said, "It is likely that this is what the Nirgardians call Gulabata, which translates to an arena to please the gods in the current language. ”

"Pleasing the gods, that means there's a god watching us right now!" Leo smiled lightly.

The reason why he was acting relaxed now was because he didn't feel any gaze that made him nervous from the black fog that enveloped this arena around him, like the kind of gaze felt outside the Black Forest.

High Priest Denis raised his finger and pointed to the two metal balls on the arena's platform, which were almost one person high, and said, "I don't know if there are gods around us watching us, but I do know that they should be watching us now. ”

Leo asked, "What are they?"

"The god altar guards I spoke about earlier. "According to the ancient texts that we have translated, the people of Nirgard need to pass the guardian test before they can meet their patronus, and only the truly powerful are qualified to meet the gods. ”

"It turns out that they are the guards of the altar of the gods. Leo looked at his realization, and at the same time probed the spirit net towards the two metal balls, but unfortunately the high-energy force field attached to the metal balls blocked his spirit net from the outside.

Leo only stopped at the touch of the two metal balls, and then asked the High Priest of Denis, "Why are we two the only ones here?"

High Priest Denis responded, "We don't need everyone to come, we just need to pick the two strongest people from among us, so they should still be in that cave." ”

"So if we want to get out of here and continue behind that bronze door, we're going to need to kill these two metal balls, right?"

According to the ancient books, it is like this. High Priest Denis nodded.

"In that case, let's get started!" Leo was very excited at the moment, and the look in his eyes was even more full of fighting spirit, and said, "Do you come first, or do I come first?"

High Priest Denis stepped back and said, "You'd better go first! I need a little more time to build up my strength." ”

"Alright, I'll do it first!" Leo didn't pay any attention to the two so-called god guards, and behaved very relaxed, flying off the stands like an outing, stepping on the bloody sandy ground, striding under the stone pillar in the center of the arena, looking up at the metal ball at the top of the stone pillar that did not react, and couldn't help but ask the high priest of Denis loudly, "How do you wake up this guy?"

"Wipe your blood on one of the pillars. High Priest Denis said aloud.

Hearing this, Leo took off the battle axe from his waist, cut his palm directly, picked a stone pillar, wiped the blood on his hand, and then withdrew some distance.

I saw that the stone pillar absorbed Leo's blood into the pillar like a sponge, and then blood lines similar to the blood threads of the previous stone platform appeared on the stone pillar, spread upward, and injected into the metal ball.

"Click!" As a few sounds similar to the release of the bolt mechanism came from the metal ball, a metal ball vibrated and rolled down directly from the stone pillar, and when it was about to land, it spread out in all directions, turning into a wolf-headed monster with a lower body composed of four crab claws, and the upper body was a sword-wielding human body.

After the monster landed, the wolf's head with a strange symbol on its forehead turned to Leo, and roared loudly at Leo, constantly exerting the violent aura on the enemy not far away, trying to break Leo's mental defense before the official start of the war, just like he did in every gladiatorial fight in the past.

However, the psionic construct had apparently put too much faith in its own past experiences, and it had never met someone as completely out of battle as Leo.

While the metal monster was still roaring at him, Leo had already removed the flintlock cannon from his back, which was full of ammunition, and shot the monster's head without hesitation.

The distance between the two was not very far, and when the huge gunfire reached the ears of the High Priest of Denis on the edge of the field, the steel ball bullet had already hit the wolf head of the psionic constructor who had not yet understood what was going on, instantly denting its metal wolf head, and the entire body was also staggered back.

Then, with a series of four shots, Leo did not hesitate to aim at the head of the psionic constructor, and finally it took less than five seconds to shatter the entire head of the constructor.

The headless psionic construct is like a robot that has lost its control center, and even though its body still has the psionic energy that can drive it into battle, it is paralyzed, lying on the ground and convulsing like an epileptic patient.

"What a stupid design!" Leo looked at the psionic construct with disdain as he removed the flintlock cannon's ammunition from his belt and reloaded it.

While he didn't know if the person who designed and built the psionic construct was a god or not, he was sure that the maker was an idiot.

Because in the Earth Federation, even the most ordinary robot enthusiasts will not put the robot control center they designed in such a conspicuous position, and even for fear that others will not know about it, they generally leave an eye-catching logo on it.

When the psionic constructor lifted the force field protection just now, Leo's spiritual network had already captured the psionic fluctuations in the skull of the constructor, and instantly analyzed that this psionic energy fluctuation was the control signal, so that Leo could easily solve this weakness.

Leo, who had reloaded the ammunition, hung the flintlock cannon on his back, walked over to the construct, which was still twitching, and grabbed the two long swords used by the construct, and forcefully split the cuirass of the construct, revealing the psionic device that resembled a wizard's strange object inside.

Then he dragged the device, and found that it was inlaid to death, so he took the long sword in his hand and went down several times, cutting off the entire device and a part of the metal around it, and then took it off, and at this moment, this psionic structure completely lost power.

As Leo walked away with his loot, the sandy ground beneath the structure swallowed it up bit by bit like quicksand, smoothing out the traces of the battle he had just fought for.
