Chapter 338: Who's Targeted?
Seeing the sinner completely swallowed up by the city wall, Leo was also quite a little apprehensive, just now he was fortunate to get out in time, otherwise he would have been pulled into the city wall like the sinner.
Leo didn't expect that when the sinner touched the city wall, not only the sinner himself was captured, but even he was affected by hiding in the shadow of the sinner, but fortunately he sensed that something was wrong and escaped from the shadow of the sinner in time, so that he was not implicated.
Now watching the sinners being swallowed up by the walls, the original decision to climb over the wall has been discouraged by Leo, and he is now ready to find a secluded place and wait until dawn to walk out through the main gate of the Yame.
However, just as he was about to turn to leave, there was an unusual vibration from the wall that had devoured the sinners, and then he saw four or five tentacles emerge from the wall, and then tried to pull the wall open in both directions like a sliding door.
These tentacles are very large, each one is thicker than Leo's entire person, so the power of each one is extremely powerful, and a crack has been opened in the city wall, and at the same time, the black oil-like unknown substance inside and various biological images that continue to emerge from the liquid can be seen through the crack.
Although the city wall contains a powerful power comparable to that of an omega-level higher being, these forces are all scattered in various parts of the city wall, and the power of a single part will definitely be greatly weakened, and the power of those tentacles is so strong that the city wall can only allow the cracks to expand, and eventually expand to a size that allows people to enter and exit at will.
The head that immediately protruded from the black oily liquid was no longer the sinner's sack-covered head, but Roccodillo's.
"Genetic atavism!" Seeing the head that was extremely familiar to the cosmic civilization, a thought immediately popped into Leo's heart.
It's just that he was still thinking about whether this genetically atavistic sinner would stabilize this genetic atavistic phenomenon if he broke free from the devouring of the city wall, and when he transformed into the real Rocodillo, Rocodillo's head seemed to melt, twisted and deformed, and finally retreated back to the sinner's original head, only this time his front was no longer covered by a cloth bag, but revealed a human face full of fear and pain.
At this moment, two large hands rushed out of the black oil, grabbed the sinner, and dragged him back into the black oil before he could make a sound, and at the same time the cracked wall closed again, restored to its original state.
"Corpse collector. Leo, who had witnessed the whole process not far away, frowned slightly, because when the big hands that captured sinners appeared, he immediately felt that the power emanating from the big hands was clearly the corpse collector, and he also felt the attention of a powerful being fall on him, and it did not disappear until the wall was closed again.
It felt a little different from when he was in the dream world, when he was very close to the corpse collector, just separated by a layer of lake water, but the feeling at that time was definitely not as strong as it is now, it was as if he was separated by a world, even if he stood by the lake, as long as he didn't fall into the lake, he wouldn't have anything.
But just now, when the hands of the corpse collector rushed out and saved the sinner and dragged him back, Leo clearly felt that the corpse collector could get out of the black oil of the cracks in the city wall and come to him, and the gap between them was only an empty street of ten meters.
When the corpse collector spotted him and focused on him, he could clearly feel the strong desire from the corpse collector, and it was clear that there was something in his body that was so attractive to the owner that he was willing to risk coming out of safety for the sake of this trait.
However, in the end, the corpse collector did not let his desires prevail over reason, and he retreated back into the black oil, temporarily sparing Leo.
Leo felt the reluctance and fear of the corpse collector when he left, and it was obvious that the power of the omega-level higher creatures inside the city walls was a mortal threat to the corpse collectors who had not yet grown to this point, and even the psionic energy suppressors in the White City could make him lose the divine power he relied on for his life.
This was not Leo's speculation, as the corpse collector reached out to capture the sinner, he clearly felt that the arm extending from the black oil was rapidly depleting, and there was a slight sign of petrification on the surface that was not easy to detect. If the big hands of the corpse collectors were not able to quickly drag the sinner into the black oil, and the sinner continued to struggle, maybe it would have been a different ending now.
However, the scene of the corpse collector's arm showing signs of petrification also allowed Leo to estimate the corpse collector's psionic level, he should be equivalent to an eighth-level psionic person, if he was a ninth-level psionic person, because he had been exposed to the cosmic origin power, even if the psionic suppressor still had an effect on him, it would not have such an obvious adverse reaction.
In addition, he learned from the phenomenon of petrification that the corpse collector did not exist as recorded in the corpse collector's canon and legend, and that he should be a collection of consciousness bodies.
And the most useful point for Leo is that the god of death Gain seems to have his eyes on the corpse collector, because the moment the corpse collector appeared, Leo felt the web weaver mark in his arm vibrate and heat, and at the same time, a method of using the web weaver mark was directly projected into his brain, allowing him to instantly learn an extremely powerful, but very single divine technique.
It was also this magic technique that made Leo think of his previous suspicion, when he was also because of the abnormality of the net weaver's mark when he was drifting on the sea, which made him not only suspect that he came to Yam Island because of the secret manipulation of the god of death Gain, but now it seems that this suspicion seems to be true.
This magic is very powerful, powerful enough to capture any death-based pseudo-god who has not evolved to the level of an omega-level higher being, which means that if the corpse collector had just come out of the city wall, then it would definitely not be Leo who would suffer in the end.
It's just that, corresponding to the powerful power of this magic to capture the gods, it has a single function, yes, this magic can only be used to capture the pseudo-gods of the death system, as for the other gods, let alone the gods, even if it is an ant on the ground, it can't be caught.
Although the magic that was inadvertently obtained due to the appearance of the corpse collector was a bit chicken, this chicken rib magic at least solved the biggest trouble Leo had to face, and at least the next time he faced the corpse collector, he had the means to deal with this false god.
At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps from the distance of the silent street, and Leo immediately retreated into the shadows.
Just as Leo was completely buried in the shadows, six or seven middle-aged men in white robes, each carrying an incense lamp in their hands, walked quickly towards Leo's side. “”
The incense they were carrying was obviously different from the incense burning on the streets and inside the boulder houses, and the smoke from the incense was so thick that it would stick to the bearer of the incense lamp, making it look like a few people had come out of the fog from a distance.
These people came to the scene of the destruction after the sinner's anger just now, although most of the buildings have been repaired, there are still some collapsed roads that have not been restored, and it is obvious that these roads are not protected by the invisible force of the White City.
"What about sinners?" asked one of the men, looking around and frowning.
"The sinner did something here just now, he must have encountered something," another person came out, looked around the traces of destruction on the ground, and said: "However, the thing he attacked was very agile, not only dodged all the attacks, but also left no traces, and finally ......" As he spoke, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the city wall, and said: "The attacked thing deliberately approached the city wall, allowing the sinner to attack the city wall, causing the power inside the city wall, and finally being swallowed by the city wall." ”
"Damn!" several people cursed in unison after hearing this analysis.
"What now?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"What else can I do, report it truthfully!" Someone immediately made a decision, and said quite easily: "The sinner is dead and dead, he was swallowed by the city wall, and it is no wonder that we are not asked, and if the above wants to be held accountable, we can't be asked, so you don't have to worry about Titus," he said, he suddenly looked around worriedly, and said: "Compared with the fact that the sinner was swallowed by the city wall, I am more worried about the unknown thing that fights with the sinner, he ...... What's going on? How ...... my body?"
Just as the topic began to gradually shift to Leo, these people suddenly found that their bodies could not move, and they invariably saw the shadows under the feet of several people suddenly break away from their feet, forming a black human body, and before they could react, their hands turned into sharp thorns and pierced directly into the hearts of several people from behind.
With little resistance, Leo took out the White Clergy by controlling the shadow clones, and caught the incense lamps before they were about to hit the ground.
Leo, who came out of the shadows, slowly walked to the side of the corpses of the white priests, and the twins in his hands instantly turned into twin long swords, dancing quickly, cutting off the heads of several people with a sword, and at the moment when the heads were cut off, the bodies of two of the people who should have died trembled.
Obviously, the key point of these two men was obviously not the heart, they disguised themselves as corpses, and they were completely prepared to take advantage of the appearance of the attacker to suddenly start a counterattack.
It's just that they underestimated Leo's caution, even if Leo's perception didn't find anything from them, he still chose the safest way to cut off the heads of all his enemies after seeing all kinds of strange creatures.
At the same time as the White Priests fell, the incense lamps in their hands also fell to the ground, and the shadow clones held them up.
Leo picked up an incense lamp, extinguished the flame inside, and then took out a little incense and looked at it in front of his eyes.
"Hey, it's not incense, it's bones. After careful identification, Leo was shocked to find that the incense in his hand was actually a bone, and it was a non-human bone, because on the bone fragments, Leo saw some naturally occurring patterns.
Leo took the bone in his hand and sniffed it carefully, but he didn't find any smell in the bone, nor did he feel any power in the bone, but after the bone was ignited, he could feel that the smoke seemed to contain some unknown power, but this power was neither strong nor obvious, and it was impossible to know its effect from the power itself for the time being, and could only judge from the way the white priest held the lantern that the power in this smoke should be used to dispel sinners and the like.
Leo plucked the unlit bone incense from the lantern and put it in his pocket for a rainy day, then he turned to check on the White Priests he had killed.
Although it seems that Leo killed them in a simple process, almost killing them with one hit, this does not mean that their strength is poor, Leo only took advantage of the geographical change and the possession of the sorcery-like magic on his body to assassinate them so perfectly. If it was a head-on fight against these people, Leo was not completely sure that he would be able to eliminate all of them, and there would definitely be one or two fish that slipped through the net.
After some careful searching, Leo didn't find anything useful from these people, but he didn't intend to let these corpses go unpunished.
After scanning the surroundings, his eyes soon fell on a vacant stone house not far away, and he found that the stone house was not closed like other buildings, so he immediately moved all the corpses to the stone house, and then turned the twins into sacrificial knives and began to dissect these corpses.
Leo dissected the corpses only to see how their anatomy would change as a result of the mutations, and to determine whether the parasite-induced mutations were just physical, cellular, or deeper genetic mutations.
Although Leo was not a professional anatomist, he had dissected his comrades or enemies more than once in the past years, and he had a lot of experience in dissecting them, and soon the corpses were completely dismembered by him.
"What's going on?" Leo was surprised to find that although these White Priests were all parasitized by parasites, these parasites did not change their hosts through mutation, and all the White Priests' bodies were still human bodies, the only thing that changed was the eyeballs of these White Priests, all of their eyeballs turned crystal-shaped, and the parasites that were torn off with the White Priests could be seen in their eyeballs.
"Could it be that after being completely parasitic, it will be a symbiotic state?" Leo frowned and looked at the unusual parasitic state on the bodies of these white priests in front of him, and took the crystal-like eyeballs in his hand, ready to take a closer look.
However, before he could use other methods to check the bottom of the crystal eyeballs, these crystal eyeballs melted like melting snow along with the surrounding corpses, and soon disappeared.
"Damn!" Leo thought of the big man he had killed by Leon Belmont and resurrected him in his room, and immediately thought of the situation at hand.
After cursing, he quickly understood that he couldn't stay any longer, and quickly walked into the shadows next to him, moving towards other places, and not long after he left, the few white priests he had killed just now were leading some people to rush over quickly.
