Chapter 32: The Wandering Figure
It's finally here!
When the familiar feeling of vertigo came well, Leo even felt like tears welled up in his eyes.
Half-awake and half-asleep, he subconsciously clenched the weapons in his hands.
The cold metal and the warm touch of rubber reached the palm of his hand at the same time, making him feel reassured.
In the next second, darkness completely overwhelmed his vision.
……
In the silent silence......
Suddenly, there was a subtle sound, from vague to clear.
"Boom-"
That is, the aftermath of the bell ringing.
A cool breeze brushed his cheeks, and the darkness lit up with speckled spots.
The darkness in front of him receded, and Leo's eyes widened, shocked by the sight that met his eyes.
He saw a strange sea.
The thick gray fog obscured the sky, flowing, swirling, and churning, like a sea of gray mist.
And above the gray mist, a blood-red full moon hung high, like the indifferent eyes of a god, ruthlessly overlooking the earth.
The cold breath of the cold night flowed into his nostrils, causing Leo to come back to his senses violently.
He withdrew his gaze to the sky and looked around warily.
Fortunately, there were no monsters around just now, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking back to the blood moon in the night sky, Leo felt faintly afraid, this thing seemed a little strange.
Not daring to look any further, he leaned over and picked up the metal longsword that he hadn't had time to bring out when he returned to the real world last time, tied it to his back along with the octagonal heavy hammer, and clenched the longsword with both hands.
Ready, he walked slowly towards the windmill complex ahead.
This farm-like area is shrouded in a thick gray fog, and the only buildings that can be seen are windmill houses and a few farmhouses not far away, and tall buildings that seem to be floating with bells in the distance.
Leo was not prepared to go blindly to the unknown distance shrouded in dense fog, he planned to explore the windmill houses and farmhouses in the vicinity to see if he could find some useful things or information.
The [Goode Laven's Manuscript (Broken)] in the underground laboratory gave him some information about the dream world, but it also caused him more doubts.
He desperately needs to know the information of this world so that he can survive in this dangerous and strange place.
Leo was about a hundred meters away from the windmill house, and when he walked about fifty meters, he paused.
"Wow! Woohoo Woo! ”
A violent dog barked from the front, accompanied by the friction of the chains, and in the next second, two figures gradually appeared from the mist.
The broken chains around his neck jumped as he ran, his pale and emaciated body, his sunken eye sockets, and his scarlet eyes......
The familiar figure made Leo's eyes light up.
Freaked big dog!
This kind of monster that brought him a deadly threat when he first entered the dream world, but in his eyes at this moment, it was like an "experience baby", harmless to humans and animals.
Although there are a few more of them, there are enough of them......
But now he is no longer what he used to be.
Looking directly at the two deformed dogs rushing from the left and right, the corners of Leo's mouth outlined a curvature.
He clenched his sword in both hands, and with a single step, his figure quickly rushed out and came to the deformed big dog on his left.
Before the deformed dog could react, Leo moved his wrist, and the long sword instantly turned into silver light, piercing deep into its eye socket.
"Roar!"
The brain was hit so hard that the deformed dog let out a terrible howl.
Feeling the cold wind rushing behind him, Leo's eyes remained unchanged, and he quickly stepped back, and retreated a few steps backwards while bringing out the long sword, just to avoid the bite of the deformed big dog on the right side.
Looking at the deformed big dog in front of him, Leo smiled slightly, raised his foot, and kicked it straight.
"Bang!"
With a kick out, accompanied by a clear "click", the deformed dog wailed, rolled together with the deformed dog that had been stabbed in the brain, and rolled backwards several meters away.
No sooner had they stopped than Leo came to their side, his sword stabbing through the eye socket of the deformed dog that had been kicked.
"Thorn-"
The sword was drawn, bringing up the black, viscous blood and shattered lenses, and Leo took a few steps back, looking at the two deformed dogs struggling on the ground.
Ten seconds later, they stopped moving, and two streams of gray-white air rose and flowed into Leo's body, and then their bodies began to dissipate into flying ashes.
【Absorbing Broken Souls (1)*2......】
[Soul Fire Color: Light Gray]
[Soul Fire Brightness: 1.8→1.82]
[Current Status: Health]
Looking at the character hint in front of him, Leo had a look of surprise in his eyes.
He had expected that the increase in [Soul Fire Brightness] would decrease after killing the deformed big dog, but what he didn't expect was that the increase would be so low.
Two deformed dogs have increased by a total of 0.02, that is, the income from killing a deformed dog is only 0.01!
"This ......"
After the astonishment, Leo sighed helplessly.
He guessed that this might be the result of the [Soul Fire Brightness] greatly increasing after killing the Soldier Monster.
According to this situation, it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be no gain from killing the deformed dog.
Alas, forget it, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are weak.
Comforting himself in this way, Leo adjusted his mood and set his eyes on the windmill house not far away.
The presence of large deformed dogs means that there is a high probability of dog owners in this area.
I wonder what kind of monster it will be?
Could it be some other Lanlois Cadet Knight?
Thinking of the great benefits of the soul ash, Leo licked the corners of his lips, his eyes flashing with eagerness.
Fifty meters is not a long distance, and with Leo's physical fitness, it may only take a few seconds to sprint with all his strength, but he did not rush forward, but slowed down and moved forward cautiously.
As the distance approached, the effects of the fog faded away, and Leo saw more and more clearly.
It was a couple of three-story side-by-side windmill houses, huge black-brown wooden windmills, which turned at a very slow speed under the light wind.
Around the windmill house, there are many wooden carts, some good and some bad, and some of them have some packed sacks on them, bulging, I don't know what they contain.
Seven or eight low-rise farmhouses were built around the windmill houses, which seemed to be the original residence of the peasant households.
In the interval between farmhouses and farmhouses, there seems to be a figure wandering.
Doesn't look like a deformed dog? Or some kind of upright walking monster?
Leo guessed.
There were quite a few figures, and he didn't dare to break in recklessly.
You have to observe and observe, and then find a way to draw it out and take a look.
With that in mind, he bent down to pick up the gravel on the ground, and then ducked behind a cart with damaged wheels.
As the minutes ticked by, the figures seemed to be tireless, wandering through the passages between the farmhouses.
A few more minutes passed.
"Boom-"
Melodious bells float from afar.
This time, these wandering figures finally had a different movement.
