Chapter 1163: The Founder of the City?
Breathing, breathing heavily was the only thing Pluto could do now, and just when he saw the spikes pass through his chest, he thought that he was probably finished, because according to legend, his soul was dragged away and eaten by the tentacles of the monster, leaving only a corpse full of fear waiting to be found soon.
However, what he never expected was that he would be able to escape death, so an inexplicable joy arose in his heart, but before he could feel this joy carefully, a flame-like heat came out from the pain in his chest, and instantly spread to his whole body, and he also passed out under the impact of this hot air.
Just as Pluto passed out and fell to the ground, one hand grabbed his clothes and lifted him off the ground, then the other reached out and tore open the clothes on his chest, revealing a ring wound on his chest that looked like a brand.
"That's an interesting phenomenon!" Leo's voice was heard coming from the shadows, and then Leo, wearing a long trench coat and a certain wide-brimmed hat, was seen standing in the street light with Pluto, and then he put Pluto on the ground and examined Pluto's body very carefully.
If it was an ordinary wound, Leo would not pay special attention to this person who was attacked by the monster of the Long Night, after all, in the past half a day, he had seen more than twenty monster attacks occur in the city of Odolin, most of them died on the spot, and a few survived, but it was better to die.
Only, the person in front of him survived after encountering the fatal attack of the monster in the long night, and now his body seems to be undergoing some transformation, and some unknown power is being stimulated in his body, instead of being eroded by the power of the monster, and inhuman mutation occurs, at least from the current situation, the transformation of this person is a benign transformation.
This is more like a miracle in Leo's eyes, because after most of the day in the city to hunt and kill these monsters that appeared in the long night, he thinks that he already knows this kind of monster very well, so he also knows very well that the power of this monster is no less effective for ordinary people than poison, and the situation of this person in front of him is like drinking a bottle of deadly poison in one gulp, but the poison has become a nutrient solution, not only did not harm this person, but helped this person stimulate some extraordinary power.
Anyone who is familiar with the monsters that appear during the Long Night will see these monsters as the usual mutated monsters as the same kind of monsters, but Leo finds that this perception is completely wrong, because based on the matter he left behind from the death of the two monsters, he can see the difference in the original power of the two monsters.
For example, the mutated monsters that appeared after the fog disaster were almost all mutated from some beasts or humans, and their mutations were all irregular, and the power they possessed was also strange, and some people once thought about counting how many kinds of monsters there were in the world, but the result did end in failure, and because all the monsters have different forms, different powers, and there are no monsters that are exactly the same from strength to appearance, which also leads to their completely different sources of power.
However, these monsters that appeared with the Long Night were different, and although their appearance and the way they displayed their power were similarly different, it was not difficult to see from the details of the power contained in the remnants of their slain that their original power should be the same power, but this power was too large and complex, and finally manifested itself in different forms.
For example, the monster just now used its own power to create an energy channel, inserted into the target's body, and extracted the blood and energy of the target's body, and its appearance was a black skin that could blend perfectly with the surrounding darkness.
However, the power contained in the skin left after this monster was killed, at least in terms of energy fluctuations, was exactly the same as the various monster residues that Leo had harvested now, except that the method of exerting their power was completely different.
Now that Leo has the materials on hand for several experiments, there is no need for him to continue hunting in Odorin City for the time being, and now that such an interesting test subject has appeared, he plans to go to the quarry's laboratory to process the materials in his hand while recording the transformation process of this person, and see if he can find another way to obtain extraordinary power for ordinary people.
Just as Leo rolled up the remaining skin of the monster on the ground and put it in his backpack, and was about to leave with the man on the ground, a light suddenly lit up on the distant city wall, and the beacon signal made by the special recipe at that time was only used when the monster was attacking the city, and this light was very eye-catching even during the day, let alone in the long night.
Sure enough, immediately after that, Leo heard the roar of monsters and the screams of humans coming from there, and then the unique mechanical friction sound of the large mechanical bow and crossbow also passed through the silent sky and spread throughout the city, it seems that there should be a monster group attacking the city wall, and judging from the use of the mechanical bow and crossbow used to defend the city, there may be large monsters in the monster group.
Such a loud sound and eye-catching light naturally alarmed the people in the city, and many people boldly pushed open the windows, or even opened the doors, and looked in the direction of the sound, even if their vision was blocked by the surrounding houses, but they did not seem to be at ease without looking at it.
Leo's attention was also drawn to the movement, but not because of the sounds, but because of the waves of energy coming from the city walls, and the strange force field that was working under the city.
The energy wave transmitted by the city wall should be a counterattack formed by the power contained in the city wall after some monsters hit the city wall, which can be guessed without much thought, but it is the force field that is running under the city, which makes Leo a little surprised, because this power is clearly a wizard circle composed of Turing roots, and this magic circle is something he didn't find before.
The reason why I didn't find it was because this Turing circle was perfectly overlapped with the giant under the city of Odolin, and when Leo's spiritual network and spiritual vision observed the giant, all they saw were the bones, flesh and bones of the giant that had been transformed into a part of the earth.
However, now the monster siege has alarmed the hidden defenses in the entire city, and then the Turing root that has been integrated into the giant's body has been stimulated, and finally this strange energy field hidden deep underground has been formed.
From the preliminary observation, the effect of this energy force field is divided into two, one is to send energy to the city wall to resist the impact of monsters, and the other is a little peculiar that is to disperse the power of monsters to impact the city wall, and the way it disperses the power is not just to disperse the power to the big underground, but to all the buildings in the city, everyone, and even all the monsters hidden in the dark.
This is equivalent to the fact that all objects in space in the entire city are bearing the impact on the outer wall, and no matter how strong the impact force of the outer wall is, as long as it does not exceed the upper limit of the bearing capacity of all objects in the entire city, the city wall will not be damaged.
For example, now, after the city wall is impacted, the impact force is dispersed on everyone and objects in the city, just like a piece of dust falling on the body, and ordinary people will not feel anything, only a person like Leo, who is particularly sensitive to all the changes around him, can detect a trace of abnormality, and then deduce the truth of the facts.
This is also one of the things that surprised Leo, because he didn't expect that he would unknowingly become a part of the city as a whole, as if the city of Odoline has some kind of unique world law, as long as he enters the city, whether it is active or passive, whether it is a destroyer or a builder, it will become a part of the city's resistance to external shocks, just like entering a certain world, it will unconsciously become a part of a certain world, this kind of thing will not be influenced by personal will.
However, this is not the most surprising thing for Leo, what surprised Leo the most was that the wizard circle that caused all this did not seem to have been engraved by a special method after the death of the giant, but rather seemed to be owned by the giant itself.
Although it is a misconception that people in the black market, churches, and other underground worlds regard him as the last tower wizard, if you have to count it, he deserves this title, because with all the knowledge he has, he is not much worse than those tower wizards in the past, and through his research on the various wizard towers built by the tower wizards, he has also figured out some rules for the tower wizards to arrange the Turing root circle.
With the knowledge he has mastered, it is not difficult to find that the wizard circle in the giant's body has obvious characteristics of the layout of the tower wizard's Turing root circle, but this wizard circle is not only the traces of the tower wizard, and the method of not knowing the Turing word root circle is also more clever than those he knows.
If it is divided according to the level of life form, this wizard circle that is integrated with the giant seems to have reached the advanced life form of a ninth-level psionic, while the wizard circle of the tower wizard is only at the level of a fourth-level psionic at most.
"Who was the wizard of the Tower who was involved in the construction of Odorin City?" Leo couldn't help but think of such a question.
Obviously, the wizard circle in the giant's body should be the tower wizard who participated in the construction of Odorin City, and it can even be said that this tower wizard is the builder of Odorin City, this person's mastery of the Turing root has reached an incredible level, such a tower wizard should be famous all over the world, but in Leo's memory, there is no tower wizard who can match the construction of this Odorin City.
In Leo's memory, the tower wizard who built the Castle Black Lighthouse should be the person who has mastered the Turing root circle the most among the tower wizards in the past, but the lighthouse built by the tower wizard is obviously nothing compared to the current Turing root circle in Odoline City, with the knowledge that Leo has now, it is only a matter of time to analyze the Turing root circle in the lighthouse, but the Turing root circle in Odoline City, he is not at all sure that he can parse it.
At this time, the sound of fighting on the other side of the city wall began to weaken, and it seemed that this round of monster impact had passed, and those city residents who were nervously watching also closed their doors and windows again.
Some of the inhabitants of the houses near Leo's location also looked around more or less as their attention was drawn back from the city walls, and naturally saw Leo standing in the street and the man lying at his feet.
However, none of these residents said anything, but silently closed the doors and windows again, as if they didn't see anything, but judging from the fact that the light transmitted by those doors and windows was invariably strengthened a lot, they were obviously very nervous at the moment, and they should have regarded Leo as some kind of unknown monster in the long night, trying to prevent the monsters outside from entering the house by putting more fuel into the brazier and fireplace, and increasing the firelight, and at the same time alleviating the fear in their hearts.
Leo ignored the thoughts in the hearts of the inhabitants of the city who saw him, and after the Turing root circle under his feet had calmed down and re-hidden in the body of the giant who had turned into the earth, he had no interest in staying here any longer, and according to his previous thoughts, he picked up the man at his feet, entered a dark alley, and quickly moved in the direction of the old quarry.
Leo was still fast, though he was carrying a man in his hand, but in a few moments he was back from the other side of the city outside the pit in the quarry.
However, he did not enter the pit for the first time, but stood on the edge of the pit and looked at the sump at the bottom of the quarry.
A third of the bottom of the quarry is a catchment basin, which was originally a deeper quarry, but it may have been dug into an underground river and the quarry was completely submerged.
Leo inspected the pool when he moved the lab to the quarry next to the sump and dived in to inspect it, and found that, as described in the record, there was a hole in one of the passages at the quarry that connected to the underground river, and that there was no living life in the water.
However, Leo now saw a creature swimming in the water of the pool that looked like a large fish, which was so large that it took up almost half of the pond's area, comparable to a medium-sized sailing ship, and such a body would be called a sea monster if it were placed in the sea.
It's just that after Leo scanned it through the spirit net, he found that this strange fish that looked huge was not actually a fish at all, but countless twisted insects the size of a finger with many small mouths, which were intertwined with each other, which formed the appearance of such a big fish.
If it was just a few strange-looking bugs that formed the form of a big fish, it wouldn't have made Leo stop paying attention to them, and what really made Leo stop was actually the energy fluctuations he felt from these bugs, and that energy fluctuations were unique to the lady of the lake in his memory.
