Although it was discovered that the bugs had something to do with Lake Town, it had little effect on the rest of the trip, and Leo and Sylvia quickly put the matter behind them.

Tessa Mocha quickly cleaned up all the bugs and eggs in the hive, and the three of them continued on their way.

In the next five or six days, Leo and the three of them did not encounter any more attacks by monsters such as bugs in the ice cave, but there were not many accidents encountered on the way, such as the passage that was originally marked as passable was blocked, so that they had to open another passage, and some passages became extremely narrow, and there were huge cracks, and it was difficult for normal people to pass through.

However, these accidents were not a big problem for Leo and them, and they were solved easily, and there was no delay.

These days, the only thing they have to do is to hurry, and as they get acquainted with the terrain, they are moving faster and faster, according to Leo's estimate, they should have covered more than half the distance, and in a few days they should be able to cross the ice bridge.

It's just that God doesn't seem to be ready to let them pass the ice bridge smoothly like this, so they create an accident that they can't solve in front of them.

"What now?" Sylvia asked in a deep voice, looking at the situation in front of her.

I saw that the ice cave passage in front of them was filled with a large amount of gray mist, and not only this one ice cave passage, through the spirit network Leo found that almost the entire section of the ice bridge, all the passages up and down had been occupied by the gray mist.

Because the spirit net can't penetrate the gray mist, Leo can't figure out what's going on inside the gray mist, let alone where the gray fog comes from.

However, judging from the data map, there is a huge ice cave node not far ahead, and the ice cave is connected to almost all the surrounding passages, presumably a gap has opened in the ice cave node to communicate with the outside world, allowing gray fog to pour in and fill this ice bridge passage.

In the face of Sylvia's inquiry, Leo turned his head to look at Tessa Mocha, and Tessa Mocha, who felt Leo's gaze, showed an ugly face and shook her head, indicating that she had no choice.

In fact, when she saw the gray mist blocking her way, Tessa Mocha was very excited, because without the insects to provide nutrients, the mother tree seeds in her body seemed very wilted, which directly affected her mood, and now the recovery that appeared in front of her was naturally regarded by her as a big meal.

She can directly devour these gray mist to provide nutrients for the mother tree seeds in her body, and she does the same, after the thought arises, she turns into a vine, and through the vine tentacles, she wantonly absorbs the gray mist in front of her.

As a result, the gray mist did not decrease significantly, but she was able to eat again, and this time the situation was a little serious, when she felt that something was wrong, her body had expanded three or four times, and the flesh on her body was all spread on the ground, and some black patterns appeared on the surface, which looked very terrifying.

Leo intervened in time, clearing most of the gray mist power that had accumulated in her body before she recovered.

It's just that Leo didn't completely solve the gray mist power accumulated in Tessa Mocha's body like the previous cleanups, this time she absorbed too much gray mist power, and it was different from the gray mist power transformed by insects, so some of it was stubbornly left in her body, and it also turned into strange tattoos that appeared on her skin.

After Leo's repeated inspections, he didn't find out what kind of damage the remaining gray mist power would cause to Tessa Mocha's body, and now Tessa Mocha only needs to digest these gray mist powers a little bit, and these strange patterns should disappear.

After this time, Tessa Mocha no longer dared to devour and absorb the gray mist, so when Leo looked at her, she shook her head without thinking.

Leo didn't force Tessa Mocha to absorb the gray mist again, he walked to the edge of the gray mist, stretched out his hand and swept through the gray mist, and said, "It seems that if you want this gray mist to disappear, you have to wait until the gap is resealed." ”

"How long will it take?" asked Sylvia, frowning.

"I don't know," Leo said, shaking his head, "It may only take one night, or it may take many days." ”

"Are we just waiting here?" Sylvia's patience was worn out by the boring journey for several days, and she felt a little anxious when she learned that she might be waiting here for a few days.

Leo thought for a moment and said, "I'll go in and see what the situation is, you stay here, and if there's nothing too big a problem inside, we'll go through." ”

"You're going in alone?" Sylvia frowned, worried, "It's too dangerous to do this, or let's ...... together"

Before Sylvia could finish speaking, Leo shook his head and said, "Don't forget, the power I have, these gray mist can't cause me any trouble, but you are different, you will only become a burden to me when you go in together, but I can't let go of my hands and feet." ”

Although Leo's words were a bit direct and unpleasant, they were also stating the facts, and Sylvia didn't say anything more.

As for Tessa Mocha on the side, she was naturally happy to see such an arrangement, and if she was really put into the gray mist, it would be difficult for her to play a role if she encountered something.

After making a decision, Leo placed the Dao Marker Rune Magic Array he had made based on the positioning method on the Warlock Portal in the Demon Hunter World to activate it outside the gray mist, and after sensing the direction of the road marker, he stepped into the gray mist.

At the moment when his whole body was plunged into the gray mist, Leo felt that the runes of the Dao Mark, which he had clearly sensed before, had become blurred and moved around, like a bird that couldn't stop.

Leo knew very well that it was only his illusion that the runes were moving, in fact, it should be him who was really moving, the gray mist was like a spatial wormhole, it would send people who entered here to some unknown place, this place could be just a few steps away, or it could be another world, just like what happened to him now.

After Leo took two more steps into the gray mist, the gray mist in front of him became a lot lighter, but it did not disappear completely, as for the road mark rune also stopped moving, Leo could still clearly sense its location, and at the same time, Leo also tried to check the power on his body, and found that except for the power of the nightmare becoming extremely active, the other powers were still normal, but the World Tree Mark was a little sluggish, but there was nothing particularly wrong.

After checking his condition, Leo looked around, although because of the gray fog, both his vision and the spiritual net were affected, but even if he didn't use his eyes and the spiritual net, he could still be sure that he was definitely not in the ice bridge now, because the air around him was no longer as cold and damp as the ice bridge, but a little warmer, like the climate of spring.

After walking some distance, Leo smelled the smell of decay all around, and then saw a large number of corpses piled up on the ground, most of which were strangely shaped monsters, but some of them were mechanical devices that looked like robots.

The mechs were all three to four meters tall and rounded, and looked like several iron balls had been merged together, making them a bit bulky, and their arms were not humanoid arms, but two chainsaw-like mist, and on their backs was a huge box, which was supposed to be their power plant, and judging by the details of the device, it was supposed to be a miniaturized steam power unit.

In addition, there are lines of words and patterns on the chest and shoulders of this steam mecha, but Leo can't see these words and patterns clearly with his normal eyesight, because they are constantly writhing like earthworms caught in his eyes, until he uses his spiritual vision and uses his real eyes to see clearly that this line of words and patterns is the name of the town on the third lake and the insignia of the border guards, and it seems that these people should be the troops sent to the border area by the town of the third lake.

Leo quickly figured out the internal structure of the steam mecha through the spirit web, especially the miniaturized steam power structure, and then he jumped on the steam mech, reached out and found a hidden metal rod under his right armpit, dragged it out, and wrenched it.

According to Leo's analysis, this metal rod should be the backup opening device for the cockpit of this steam mecha.

As he expected, as he pulled the metal rod, there was a slight vibration and mechanical sound from the cockpit of the steam mech under his feet, and it seemed that the backup opening device was not powered by steam, otherwise it would not have been able to open at all.

With a strange click, the armor on the mecha's chest bounced outward, revealing the cockpit inside, as well as the mecha pilot who had already died inside.

However, seeing the driver, who was almost a dried corpse, Leo was stunned, because this driver was very unusual.

First of all, the unusual thing is that this pilot has no limbs, his limbs look like they are cut off, and the fracture is connected with several steel bars extending from the mecha, which looks as if the steel bars are growing on the pilot, and whether it is the driver, or the steel bars connected to the driver, and even the interior of the mecha cockpit, there are all kinds of complex runes engraved.

Judging from the various characteristics of the runes, there is no doubt that this should be the work of the Wizards Association of Lake Town, but this is much more complicated than the rune magic array that Leo himself stole to learn.

Through his amazing memory, Leo quickly memorized all the rune magic arrays inside the mecha and on the pilot's body, and then he opened several other broken steam mechs in turn and checked them, and the situation in each mecha was similar.

This also made Leo feel a little puzzled, because in his memory, the town on the lake did not seem to have such steam mechs, and they still relied on the fighting ability of soldiers and the huge war castle.

If there really is such a weapon, then every Hushang Town has already spread it, and it is impossible to be full at all, so these steam mecha may only appear after he left Hushang Town, and it does not appear in a short period of time, it is officially installed after a long period of research and testing, plus testing, and the backbone time interval may be decades, or even hundreds of years.

The thought that he had left Lake Town for less than a year, and that many years had passed in Lake Town, this kind of thing was undoubtedly enough to shock and amaze any ordinary person, but for Leo, it didn't cause much abnormal reaction, after all, he already knew that Lake Town and Viron World had different time flow rates.

Obviously, this battlefield should be a large-scale war between the people of Lake Town and the fog beasts long after he left Lake Town, as for who is the final winner, Leo is not very clear, but he is very clear about one thing, that is, the armed forces of Lake Town have reached a very high level.

He had no doubt that if the people of Hushang Town found a way to go to the Velonon World at this time, then with the current steam mecha armed force of Hushang Town, they would definitely be able to sweep through any country in the Velonon World, unless it was a god who made a move.

With a hint of surprise at the development of Lake Town, Leo continued to walk forward, at this time he saw more fog beast corpses and scrapped steam mechs, but there were no pure human corpses here, so it seems that this kind of steam mecha has become the most basic armed force in Lake Town.

Just when Leo was surprised by the development of Lake Town, there was a sudden violent shaking on the ground, which felt like an earthquake.

It's just that Leo is a little puzzled that he feels that there are two sources of vibration on the ground, and these two vibration sources are still moving, and they are still moving towards him, so the vibration he feels is getting stronger and stronger.

Leo stood still, not leaving, as if waiting for something.

After a while, he felt that the vibration of the ground had reached a level strong enough to throw ordinary people out, and then he saw that the gray fog on both sides of the battlefield suddenly vibrated and retreated twice like a low tide.

Then a huge monster with black hair and a head composed of countless monster skeletons appeared on his right side, rushing out of the gray mist, while on the other side, a giant war castle with a height of 100 meters also rushed out with the support of more than a dozen giant pillar-like legs.

The two behemoths collided on the battlefield not far in front of Leo, and the loud sound and waves of air rolled over like a hurricane, making Leo have to hold up a psionic barrier in order to stabilize his body.

After the impact, the monster's head frantically tore at the armor of the War Castle, and its hair turned into countless black smoke and swept towards the War Castle, looking for every inch of the crevices that could be found, and then burrowing into it to attack the interior of the War Castle.

Not to be outdone, the war castle with six pairs of huge arms was not to be outdone, the high-powered steam engine was running with a roar, and the huge chainsaw at the tip of each arm also turned at a rapid speed, cutting towards the monster's body.
