[After the crisis is resolved, your situation in the cramped cell, or operating room, is temporarily safe. 】

What are you going to do next? 】

[Option 1: Hold on to your weapon and walk out of the collapsed iron gate to explore the outside world.] 】

[Option 2: Take a break and recover from your injuries.] 】

Leo chose "option two" and took a break for a while.

He needs to sort out the current information first.

Judging from the world background analyzed by the Mark of Fire, "Skun" seems to be a high-level world dominated by flesh and blood technology, and the race that rules this world is a race called "Libra".

The Libra have a "holy city", and if they want to enter this city, they must go through the stripping ritual to make themselves pure, and the body he possesses has just completed the "stripping ritual" in order to enter the holy city.

Unfortunately, there was nothing of note in the operating room other than a few simple utensils and the strange brass flesh captive, so Leo did not know what exactly the shell had "stripped away".

The monster that just attacked him did not show the nature of energy, its ability is beyond the speed and strength of ordinary people, but the epidermal defense is unexpectedly fragile, from the form of expression, it is not like the changes brought about by energy erosion, combined with the world background to speculate, it is more like a monster produced by physical mutation.

What made Leo even more concerned was that after defeating the monster, the body he possessed actually absorbed some kind of blood-red flesh sand substance from its body, thus making up for the mutilation of his body.

"This world, kind of interesting......"

Leo's eyes twinkled with interest.

After analyzing the existing information, the world strategy continued.

[You step through the collapsed metal iron door, and what you see is a dim, narrow passage covered with a red fungus blanket, and a whimpering cold wind blows from the end of the passage, mixed with a vague roar. 】

[You cautiously follow the passage, keeping an eye out for possible attacks. 】

[But until you reach the exit of the passage, no monsters appear.] 】

[The biting cold wind blows in your face, and your bloody body without the protection of the epidermis cannot stop trembling, and you realize that you must solve this problem as soon as possible. 】

[Outside the passage, there is an endless blood-colored wasteland, and you look around, and finally you see the outline of a huge steel city in the fog in the back direction. 】

What are you going to do next?] 】

[Option 1: A real man should fight in all directions.] (Explore the Scarlet Wasteland)]

[Option 2: Home is a warm harbor.] (Go to the city looming in the mist)]

Looking at the words in front of him, Leo smiled a little.

He had discovered that after using the burning power of the Initial Fire Reserve, his Fire Mark authority had become higher, and in contrast, it had become more skinny.

However, it's not a bad thing.

In the boring life, there are some little fun, but it can also relieve boredom.

Option 1 is obviously unreliable, this blood-colored wasteland is endless, and there may be some terrifying monsters hidden.

With the blessing of the soul talent, this body can defeat some ordinary monsters, but if you really encounter a ruthless stubble, you should still send it.

Swordsmanship is a skill that allows the weak to defeat the strong, but there are also limits.

Once the difference in physical fitness between the two sides is more than three times, no matter how much swordsmanship is channeled, it is useless, and the other party can directly crush him to death with force.

And with the strength of this body, a mutated monster that is more than three times the body is not very rare.

To be on the safe side, Leo clicked on "Option 2" and headed to the city in the fog.

Judging from what happened to this body before, he carried out the stripping ceremony in order to obtain the qualification to enter the "Holy City", and it is needless to think that the so-called "Holy City" must have occupied a pivotal position in this world.

Whether it is to obtain intelligence or resources, this is a threshold that cannot be avoided.

The high-level world of "Skun" has become very abnormal due to the hint of the Mark of Fire.

This anomaly has led to a sharp increase in the danger level of this world.

In order to conquer this world, Leo must at least understand what the anomaly is.

So, the holy city is a must-visit.

Could that foggy city be a "holy city"?

Leo felt that there was a high probability that it would not be.

But either way, this is the only known gathering place, and there is no alternative.

As Leo made his decision, the words began to beat in front of him.

[You are heading towards the steel city in the mist......]

[Along the way, you saw several withered bodies, all of them were bones, and there was no flesh and blood left on them. 】

【On the move......

Inside the Burning Shrine, Leo stared at the scene in front of him.

The text always shows "on the move", and in the picture, the body he possesses moves forward at an even speed, and the scene reflected in the picture is the surrounding scene.

Suddenly, a huge stone pillar about 30 meters high appeared in the distance of the picture.

[You pass by a huge stone pillar with totemic patterns carved on it, do you stop to observe? 】

Leo chose "yes".

For a civilization, the existence of totems either symbolizes the spirit of its race, or records major deeds in the history of racial development.

If you want to understand a civilization and observe its totems, you will definitely gain something.

[The totem on the stone pillar has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, and there are some model lakes, but the general appearance can still be seen. 】

[The main body of the totem is two people, the left is a man, the right is a woman, their reproductive organs are unusually obvious, and around this man and a woman, there are several circles of other tribesmen who kneel on the ground around them. 】

The description of the text is relatively concise, far less touching than the real picture.

Through the picture, Leo can clearly see that the crowd that surrounds a man and a woman, the exaggerated and distorted lines represent their emotional fanaticism.

This is a race that worships reproduction for a very short time!

Leo frowned slightly.

Reproduction, reproduction, is the instinct of the living race engraved in the genes.

The thirst for reproduction and reproduction is something that every normal life expects.

But depending on the race, this desire can be strong or weak.

For example, those races that live extremely long will have a much weaker impulse to reproduce and reproduce.

Breeds that give rise to fertility cults are, basically, only those with relatively short-lived lives.

For example, the relatively backward regional tribes in the Blue Star civilization have an extremely short lifespan due to various natural disasters and restrictions on productivity, and they are very lacking in new blood, so they will have fertility worship.

However, "Skun" is a high-level world!

As the overlord race of the high-level world, how could the Libra have such a strong fertility cult?

Incomprehensible.

Leo looked around closely, and after finding nothing of value, he chose to move on.

【Moving Forward ......】

This time, there was nothing else to discover, and the shell made its way all the way to the magnificent huge city.

This is a city full of strange beauty, its main body is made of metal and flesh together, and from a distance, it feels like facing a half-flesh metal giant.

And the body standing in front of the city gate is like an ant that has walked into the mouth of a giant's blood.

You have come to the closed gates of the city, where metal and flesh are intertwined. 】

[But to your surprise, there are no guards near the locked city gate.] 】

[You waited for a long time, but the city gate still had no intention of opening, so as a last resort, you began to observe the surrounding situation. 】

[On the left side of the closed gate, there is a strange-looking device, which looks like a slender arm spliced into a thick thigh, but there is nothing else near the gate.] 】

】

[Do you want to investigate?] 】

Leo looked at the scene in front of him.

The gate of this flesh and blood metal city is nearly 100 meters high, and the thickness is estimated to be several meters, and the material is some kind of dark silver metal and crimson flesh and blood, which gives people an incomparably heavy feeling at a glance.

Leo chooses to "investigate", and the body in the picture steps to the strange device.

[You approach the strange device, and when the two sides are about two meters apart, the strange device suddenly reacts, and its upper part of its arm begins to stretch, spreading out its palm towards you. 】

[You can clearly see that on the gray-white palm, there are six compound eye-like beads, and under the compound eye beads, there is a blood hole full of spikes, it seems to want you to stretch your arm into the blood hole? 】

[Dear contractor, what are you going to do?] 】

[Option 1: Supermarket it!] (Stick your hand in without hesitation)]

[Option 2: Pick up a metal rod and stab it with the sharp end instead of your own arm.] (Attempt to destroy the device)]

[Option 3: You observe the layout of the spikes in the blood hole, and vaguely, you feel a little familiar, as if you have seen it somewhere, and you think that you can't just put your hand into it, you are missing something. (Temporarily stretching into the arm)】

"Funny ......"

Although the expression of the text made Leo have some black lines on his forehead, this little thing is irrelevant.

Judging from the current situation, if you want to enter the city, you need some kind of "qualification", and this "qualification" is verified by this strange device.

Options 1 and 2 are definitely not available.

The former rashly put his arm into the strange device under the premise that the situation was unknown, and if something happened to him, the small life of this shell might be gone.

With only three opportunities to explore, you can't afford to leave it in this place.

And the second option, direct destruction of the device is even more undesirable.

The city dares to set up the "qualification verification device" here, and must have considered the situation of malicious destruction by others, once the city's vigilance is triggered, it is very likely that it will also be the end of "sending".

As for option three......

It's not so much a choice as a hint.

The contents of this body were all found in the operating room at the beginning of the awakening, which were metal pillars used as weapons, a bottle of green unknown liquid, and a pair of gloves that resembled an exoskeleton device.

Obviously, the items in question could not have been metal columns and unknown liquids.

Then, the only answer is the exoskeleton gloves.

With Leo's mind manipulating, the body in the picture picks up the exoskeleton glove and puts it on.

The gloves that were originally a little wide fit were extremely close to the flesh and blood of the arms in the second they were put on, as if this was a pair of gloves specially designed for the body.

These gloves are the original thing of the shell.

Leo made a judgment in his heart.

Thinking about the identity of the shell, it should be a resident of the city, and the glove is his identity.

However, the appearance of these gloves is quite peculiar.

In addition to the basic exoskeleton and tendon-like flesh, the back and sides have distinct grooves that seem to be able to attach additional parts.

A derivative of Flesh Technology......

I have to say that although the picture of the high-level world of "Skun" is strange and weird, it still follows strict rules of flesh and blood on the whole.

[You put on the strange gloves found in the operating room, and the feeling of tight fitting makes you realize that this is your thing. 】

[This time, with confidence, you boldly put your left hand in. 】

[The feeling of flesh and blood squirming and rubbing is so bizarre, the next moment, you feel the exoskeleton glove on your hand being pierced by spikes, and with a "drop" sound, one of the compound eye beads on the palm of the arm in front of you lights up. 】

[The spikes in the blood hole retract, and you pull your hand out.] 】

[With the heavy sound of "Hum-" , the hundred-meter flesh metal gate in front of you slowly opened to both sides, revealing a gap that could barely pass through. 】

【Do you choose to enter the gate?】 】

Is this still an option?

Leo casually clicked "Yes".

Judging from the current situation, the shell was originally a resident of the city, which means that under normal circumstances, it would be safe for him to enter it for the time being.

You walked in through the crack in the gate. 】

[What appears in front of you is a spacious avenue with a silver-white center and bright red flesh on both sides. 】

[At the end of the avenue, there is a gray-white oval building hundreds of meters high, and on both sides of the avenue, there are hundred-meter-high metal flesh walls. 】

[The gate behind you recloses after you enter, the high walls on both sides make people have nowhere to escape, and the only way out is the inexplicable building at the end of the avenue. 】

[Do you want to go to the black oval building?] 】

Leo took a closer look around, and near the flesh metal gate behind him, there was no "qualification verification device" like before, which meant that this flesh metal gate should be a one-way passage, only to enter, not to exit, if you want to leave the city, you need to take another exit.

As for the high walls on both sides, Leo didn't think that there would be no weapons on them, so it was basically impossible to climb over them.

I can only go to the black oval building in front of me.

Limited by the weakness of his body, Leo could make too few choices and could only move forward honestly.

The passage is about hundreds of meters long, and after a minute, the body comes to the front of the building, this time, without the need for qualification verification, and with a "drop" sound, the ten-meter-high gate of the building slowly opens upwards.
