Chapter 466: The World in the Trees
Almost when Su and the others were shocked by the strength shown by Leo, Leo's movements did not slow down because of this, and fired a few more shots in succession, taking away a few Kayaha.
Because of the decrease in numbers, it is difficult for piercing bullets to take away a dozen monsters with a single bullet like at the beginning, and now a bullet can only kill at most, and a few more can be injured by penetrating the past.
The monsters weren't all fearless of death, and after a large number of casualties, these monsters couldn't suppress their fear of death, and no matter how Mira Pombeko tried to guide them, they didn't dare to go any closer to the forest, but scattered and fled into the mist, leaving only some of the wounded monsters on the ground to wail.
Leo sensed that the rest of Kayahadu had fled into the mist, so he flung the king and queen with the red barrel in his hand in the air, dissipated the heat of the barrel with psionic energy, and stuffed it back into the holster, and then he ignored the battle at the edge of the forest behind him, and walked directly to the slaughterhouse strewn with corpses.
After walking to the side of a Kayaha corpse, Leo squatted down and checked it, and couldn't help frowning, he found that this kind of monster with an appearance that is almost exactly the same as Kayaha, although the ability characteristics and key weaknesses are also the same, but if you look closely, you will find that these monsters are actually very different from Kayaha.
The reason why Kayaha has become a disaster beast that alarms various cosmic civilizations is that their body cells can absorb and contain all kinds of energy without limit, and even if they die, these energies can support their regeneration.
But at present, although these monsters also have the ability to absorb energy, their body cells do not have the ability to absorb and accommodate energy, and their cells are ordinary animal cells, which means that they cannot absorb energy indefinitely.
In addition, these monsters do not have the ability to regenerate like Kayaha, so those monsters whose bodies are injured have never been able to heal their wounds, and until now they are paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
After discovering this situation, Leo walked up to a seriously injured but still alive monster in order to make further sure, and directly cast a witcher's magic seal and hit the monster.
I saw that the power of the magic seal was instantly absorbed by the monster, just like Kayaha, but the difference was that after absorbing the power of the demon hunter's magic seal, Kayaha was able to borrow this energy to quickly recover from injuries and fight.
But the recovery ability of this monster in front of him is obviously very different from the real Kayaha, although it can still heal itself, but the absorbed energy can only condense the energy core, and it can't call to improve the self-healing ability, nor can it use these energy to do other things.
After discovering this, Leo suddenly thought of a possibility, so he directly killed the monster in front of him, then opened its scalp, found its skull, cleaned the flesh and blood on it, and put it in front of his eyes to use the microscopic vision ability, magnifying the details of the skull by hundreds of times.
Soon Leo discovers what he is looking for, a sign, a marker in the shape of a tree, a sign that belongs to a higher cosmic civilization.
"Nature's spirits!" Leo muttered to himself as he lowered his skull in his hand.
The Spirit of Nature is not considered a higher civilization in terms of institutions, because the Spirit of Nature has always practiced slavery, and it is also one of the few slave civilizations in the universe that is recognized by the Supreme Council.
The appearance of the Nature Spirit is very similar to the Treant in the early Western magic of the Earth Federation, but compared to the clumsy Treant in China, the agility of the Nature Spirit is one of the best in the universe.
There is a proverb on the battlefield that says that whoever hits the spirit of nature with a gun will be lucky that year, which shows how agile the spirit of nature is.
The spirit of nature grows in the body of a tree-like omega-level higher life form, and in a sense, they are all descendants of this life form, and in Velon, they are the children of God.
Because omega-level higher life forms rarely stay in a galaxy, the nature spirits that grow on this tree-like life form will also wander in the universe with this higher life form, making nature spirits one of the few wandering civilizations in the universe like the Wycombe Abbey people.
The Spirits of Nature are also members of the Supreme Council of the Universe, but the reason for their place in the Supreme Council is not the omega-level higher life form they live in, but their biotechnology.
Because the Earth Federation rarely deals with the spirits of nature, the Earth Federation does not have much information about the spirits of nature, but only analyzes from some published information that the spirits of nature are the only civilization in the entire universe that can produce psionics, which has also been recognized by the Supreme Council.
It's just that for ordinary people, the reason why the spirit of nature is so famous is not because of artificial psionics, but because the spirit of nature likes to transform the evil taste of various rare species.
The spirits of nature often post missions to collect precious species on bulletin boards in the universe, which makes them nearly forty percent of the buyers of rare species in the universe, and after buying these precious species, they will immediately modify these precious species, and then transform them into another new species, and then secretly release these species on a strange planet until they are rediscovered as new species.
Because of this evil taste of the spirit of nature, there has been a great mistake in the statistics of new species in the cosmic civilization, and for a long time, newly discovered species need to go through more procedures and repeated checks before they are allowed to be recorded in the list of new species, and for this reason, the Supreme Council has also ordered that the force of nature make an identification mark on every species it makes, which is the identification mark that Leo sees now.
Leo doesn't think that Kayaha was created by the spirit of nature, because this species has been repeatedly tested and confirmed to be a naturally formed species, so the only possibility is that these monsters are a new species created by the spirit of nature through Kayaha, but this species seems to have failed, and neither the ability to heal itself nor the ability to absorb energy can obviously be compared to the original species.
After confirming the origin of the monster, Leo stood up and peeled off the blood stains from his body through psionic energy, while looking at his surroundings with a puzzled look on his face.
In the past, Leo felt a little familiar when he saw the words about the meaning of the Emerald Dream of the Lord of Nature in the book, but now that he discovered the origin of the monsters in the Emerald Dream, he was almost certain that this should be the exclusive subspace of the Spirit of Nature's natural world.
As the mother body of the nature spirit, the tree-like omega-level advanced life form is very powerful, not only can he freely travel through the universe, resisting any cosmic rays that are enough to destroy a galaxy, but also can travel into the subspace, survive in the subspace for a long time, and even later directly tear off a subspace fragment through his own power, and make that subspace fragment into a subspace nature exclusive to the spirit of nature.
Now that I think about some of the deeds and images of the Lord of Nature recorded by the Orthodox Church, it is so worth pondering, because the way He behaves with the Spirit of Nature is so similar, coupled with the fact that this Emerald Dream is now unique to the pseudo-Kayaha that appears in the Emerald Dream, so that Leo now has to suspect that the Lord of Nature who is likely to have fallen is a spirit of nature with a higher life form close to the omega level.
The reason why Leo did not equate the Lord of Nature with the tree-like Omega-level higher life form was because although the Lord of Nature recorded in the Orthodox Court texts was powerful, he was not really an Omega-level higher life form, and there was a gap between the power of that high life form and that high life form.
However, after solving one mystery, another new one emerges.
Whether this Lord of Nature was used as a slave by the Wycombe Abbey people, like some other civilized races, or a collaborator of the Wycombe Abbey people, after thinking about it, Leo felt that the latter was more likely.
As one of the few wandering civilizations, the spirit of nature has a very good relationship with the Wycombe Abbey people, which is not simply summarized in business partners, and the two have several strategic cooperation, and even Leo guesses that the reason why the Wycombe Abbey people are engaged in the slave trade is also because of the spirit of nature, after all, the society of the spirit of nature is a slave society, and a large number of slaves are needed every year.
Therefore, Leo guessed that there must have been at least one Nature Spirit on the Wycombe Abbey slave fleet that entered the Demon Nebula, and these Nature Spirits were probably escorting slaves, but they were accidentally involved in the war between Wycombe Abbey and the Giants, and finally fell into the world of Velond with the spaceship.
At this time, Leo also thought of the creation legend record about the formation of the world in the Orthodox Church, although each church has its own creation legend record, and the people of each church will use these records to highlight the power of their belief in gods, but there is a legend and story that is not recorded in the canon that has been mentioned by each church intentionally or unintentionally.
In this legend, the world is described as a cloud of chaos in a fog, and then four huge trees grew from the earth, each of which grew in the four corners of the earth.
The trees grew rapidly and grew taller, and his power tore through the mist, and the top of the canopy broke out of the mist, towering over the mist.
After that, the canopies of the four trees were connected to each other, and a large number of vines grew from the branches, intertwined, and gradually formed a dense network in the middle of the four canopies, and the world of Velun was gradually formed by the dust falling on the canopy net in heaven and earth, that is to say, the world of Velen was built on a huge canopy net.
At that time, when he saw such a creation myth, Leo didn't have any thoughts, and he didn't care about this content, but now that Leo recalls this content, he can't help but associate it with the spirit of nature, because these four trees are so similar to the omega-level higher life form where the spirit of nature lives.
Leo remembers seeing a very old news report in which the Nature-Generating Spirit had cultivated sub-trees that could be inhabited by the surplus population. Although Leo hadn't seen what the sub-trees of the Spirit of Nature looked like, they seemed to resemble the four giant trees in the creation myth of Velon.
"Could it be that the world of Vellon is really a world on trees?" Leo couldn't help but have a thought, and the reason why this idea came about was not only because of the clues found now, but also because more clues came from the book that Wang Cheng saw and some memory fragments in the webweaver's imprint.
In the book of the royal city, it is clearly recorded that the gods of the royal city had told their priests that their world was on a large tree, and even clearly described the appearance of the tree, and carved him on the relief of the temple, but unfortunately the relief had been destroyed, and Leo could not see it.
But the fragments of the weaver's imprint really have some blurry images of the tree, and those memories are so fragmented that they can only make up a rough form, and it is not difficult to see from this form that the tree that is remembered by the weaver is very large, so big that even if the weaver looks at it from a long distance, it still cannot fully absorb the big tree.
It's just that this conjecture is contrary to the final battle between the Wycombe Abbey and the giants that Leo saw, because if the world of Veron is a world on trees, then the world of Velonne already existed before those giants settled in the world of Velon, and the spirit of nature has already planted four big trees to support the world, so this means that the spirit of nature has already begun to build a new settlement in the demon nebula.
If that were the case, how could the spirits of nature agree to the Wycombe Abbey people fighting in their world, or even using weapons that shouldn't have been used, even if they had a good relationship with the Wycombe Abbey people, it could not have been so good.
As Leo fell into deep thought, the surrounding swamp suddenly dissipated like smoke, and the monster's corpse disappeared with it, and he returned to the roof of the inn, and the battle not far away was over.
I saw that the werewolf was half-kneeling on the ground at the moment, and the fur was dyed red from seven or eight wounds on his body, and his heavy breathing showed that it was difficult for him to resist effectively now.
The three people on the other side were also not having a good time, one of them had three cuts in his chest, a little deeper, it might kill him, and the other two had no fatal wounds, but there were many other wounds, and the loss of a large amount of blood also made it difficult for them to make an effective attack.
Contrary to the battle here, Sue and Mira Pombeko were still neatly dressed, and there were no wounds or anomalies on their bodies, except for a slight confusion of breathing and a little paleness, as if the battle had just been just an autumn outing in the wilderness.
"Your stuff doesn't seem to be of any use!" Mira Pombeco shook the hem of her skirt as if she had shaken off the crumbs off her body, and then looked at Sue across her with disdain.
"Isn't your stuff useless!" Sue picked a leaf from his body and bounced it to the ground at random, then pointed at Leo and said, "You may have forgotten that I still have a helper here, are you confident that you can still resist his attack in the face of my attack?"
