Although the castle is large, it is still within the scope of Leo's spiritual network.

The castle was built according to the traditional pass castle of the Mares Kingdom, with large stone foundations, mostly wood and stone superstructures, and a large cellar dug in the underground part to store grain and the like.

Leo's spiritual network didn't find anything noteworthy from the castle, nor did it find any fluctuations in anomalous energy, everything seemed so normal.

After the investigation was fruitless, Leo was not discouraged, after all, the terrifying legend about this ancient castle has been circulating for nearly a thousand years, and countless people have tried to unlock the hidden secrets of this ancient castle in this thousand years, and finally returned in vain, he does not think that he can solve the secret of this thousand-year-old abandoned ancient castle with just a sweep of the spiritual net.

Leo retracted the spirit net to the size of the camp, covering the entire caravan camp, and then leaned against the soft velvet blanket and waited for dawn.

The reason why he didn't completely take back the spiritual net was because those legends mentioned that someone would have a dream, and then if the person who dreamed died in the dream, then the person in reality would also die. Therefore, when Leo's spiritual network covers the entire caravan camp, it also monitors the life characteristics of everyone in the camp, and once someone's life characteristics are abnormal, then he can know it as soon as possible.

Time passed quickly, and a cold mountain rain woke everyone from their sleep.

Everyone came out of the tent, freshened up briefly, and began to get busy.

In order to prevent the water from standing on the ground from affecting the inside of the tents, they rearranged all the pack carts in a certain position, put strong planks between the pack carts, and moved all the tents to the planks.

Then, they cleared out a clearing, set up a large tent with a ventilated roof, lit a bonfire in the tent, and set it up as a public area.

After the tent was set up, the servants in the caravan began to prepare food, while the others had nothing to do, some took out some board games to play in the big tent, and some returned to their tents and continued to rest, but there were also some young people who did not want to miss the good opportunity to explore this mysterious castle, and ran to this castle with terrifying legends in groups to adventure.

Leo got up early, and instead of venturing through the castle like the curious young caravans, he left the caravan alone, and walked out of the castle to the withered cypress forest outside the castle, carefully examining the growth of the trees and the forest environment.

In Leo's opinion, compared to the ethereal legends inside the castle, the forest outside the castle is the most striking anomaly, and since this thing appears here, it must be related to the terrifying legends inside the castle.

Now that Leo can't find any clues from the castle through the spirit web, it would be better to find another way and see if he can find some useful information in the surrounding forest.

Because of the humid climate here, and the cold air from the snow-capped mountains that falls with the melting snow water all year round, the climate here is not like the dry and hot climate of the Savile Kingdom at all, but more like the cold and humid climate of the Dailyat.

Because of the special tree species, the dry bark cypress can not only grow in the tropics, but also in the cold zone, but other plants do not have such characteristics, and most of the Savile plants cannot grow here, and even if they can grow, they will not grow much.

A large number of low shrubs and weeds grow underneath, and the roots and stumps of dead cypress trees are covered with moss that prefers cold and damp climates, and the decaying plants accumulated over thousands of years have made the forest ground soft and somewhat unfocused.

Although the forest is large, there are not many plant species, so there are also few animal species that grow here, and an omnivore called the wrinkled skin rat is the largest group of organisms in the forest, but the absolute dominance of this forest is a group of pythons that have not been documented by medical school.

When the caravan passed through the forest in the morning, the eyes that were hiding in the dark of the forest and staring at the caravan came from these pythons.

It's a bit strange that these pythons will thrive in this dry cypress, because as cold-blooded snakes, they are really not suitable for the cold and damp environment of this forest, and the only explanation that can be given is that these pythons are probably all variants.

The appearance of these pythons is no different from the common forest pythons, but their shapes are more huge than the forest pythons, the smallest of which is more than 20 meters, and the largest is more than 50 meters.

However, the well-informed Leo has seen monsters larger than these pythons, so he is not interested in the huge form of these pythons, he is interested in the power and mutated abilities that cause these pythons to mutate.

Whether the massive size of these pythons is considered part of the mutation, Leo is not clear for the time being, but he knows very well that the eyes of these pythons have definitely mutated.

Because when he entered the forest, these pythons did not detect his location by serpentine probing the temperature like other snakes, but observed movement through their eyes, like most wild beasts.

The pythons all entangled their bodies with the trunks of the dead cypresses, entrenched in the air, and the moment Leo walked into the forest, a pair of cold snake eyes stared at Leo, and moved with Leo's movements, apparently they all regarded Leo as a prey for a good meal.

Leo didn't plan to do anything in advance, nor did he think of intimidating the python in any other way, but he hoped that the python would attack him, because in this way, he might be able to get more useful information from the disturbing forest, instead of always feeling that the forest was no different from a normal forest.

As Leo entered the depths of the forest, there were more and more pythons gathered above Leo's head, and roughly counted, there were about twenty more.

These pythons seemed to be unable to endure a delicious prey walking back and forth below them without care, and one of them, a giant python with a length of more than thirty meters, became the first to attack, quickly swam to the top of Leo's travel route, calculated the right time, and directly hung down the huge snake's head, opened its mouth, and rushed towards the top of Leo's head.

Although the movement of the giant python is very large, the movement is very small, and ordinary people can't avoid it at all, and it will be directly swallowed by the growing snake's mouth.

However, Leo kept an eye on the movements of these pythons, and when the python attacked, he was ready to deal with it, and the twins in his hands turned into the mode of the cross sword.

When the snake's head was about to fall on the top of his head, his figure moved a few steps sideways at great speed, easily dodging the swallowing of the snake's mouth, and the cross sword in his hand swung out, a huge snake head fell from the snake's body, and the python's body wrapped around the trunk of the tree also slowly loosened, and fell from the trunk under the action of gravity.

The death of a python did not alert or intimidate them, but was stimulated by the blood scattered in the forest below, and they swam down the trunk from the top of the tree and attacked Leo.

In the face of the siege of the giant python, Leo seemed relaxed, and the pace under his feet was like a walk, although the movement was not fast, but the position after moving was often just right to avoid the surrounding attacks, and the cross sword in his hand was also swung out while moving,

More than 20 giant pythons were just more than 20 times of evasion and more than 20 sword swings for Leo, and in less than three minutes before and after, these giant pythons were all in different places and fell in a pool of blood.

Although he solved these giant pythons watching him, but the purpose of Leo's trip was not achieved, in his opinion, these giant pythons are larger and more powerful than ordinary beasts, and there is no difference between them and wild beasts in other places, and they have nothing to do with psionic creatures, and their movements will not have any impact on the forest.

Frustrated, Leo was about to look elsewhere for the secret that led to the growth of this forest, when he suddenly stopped and looked diagonally upward, only to see a huge python head about the size of a pack cart slowly falling from the sky and stopping not far from Leo, staring at Leo with cold snake eyes.

"There it is!" Seeing the python, Leo not only did not show any fear, but smiled.

When Leo found this giant python with a length of more than fifty meters through the spiritual net just now, he didn't find any energy fluctuations on this giant python, thinking that it was just an ordinary beast with a huge body, but now when this giant python moved in front of him, he had already felt the energy fluctuations on the giant python's body, as well as some resonant reactions caused by this energy fluctuation.

The reaction first caused the resonance of the whole forest, and now Leo has understood that the whole forest is not devoid of anomalous energy, but that these energies are extremely dispersed, scattered to every dead cypress in the forest, so that the scattered power is very weak.

And now, because of the surging energy on the giant python's body, the energy contained in each dead cypress in the forest has also been activated together, producing a resonance effect, and at this time, the energy fluctuations that Leo felt were not much worse than him, a sixth-level psionic person, and the amount was more.

It has to be said that the plants of the entire forest already have the shadow of a symbiotic organism.

It's just that what makes Leo smile is not the fluctuation of the forest's energy, but the reaction caused by the resonance of this energy in him, or more accurately, the reaction of the eyes of the Abyss Serpent.

"Abyssal Power!" Leo immediately had an answer in his mind when he felt the resonant reaction of the Abyssal Serpent's eyeballs.

Then I saw him let go of the suppression of the Abyss Serpent's eyeballs, allowing the power of the Abyss to emanate from his body.

However, at the moment when the power of the abyss emanated from his body, the giant python in front of him first showed a stunned expression, and then immediately exuded a look of fanaticism and greed in his eyes, and opened its big mouth to devour Leo.

Although the size of the python is extremely huge, the speed of the attack is not faster than the speed of the python, and Leo did not expect that after he showed the power of the abyss, the python would suddenly attack, and was caught off guard, even if he reacted in time and made a dodge action, but he was still hit by the body of the python, and the whole person was knocked out, until it hit a tree to stabilize its body.

Although such an impact was nothing to Leo, it also made him look a little embarrassed.

"Damn, how did I forget!" Leo, who felt a slight pain in his body, quickly understood what was going on, and couldn't help but curse.

At this time, Leo remembered that the abyssal creatures were no better than ordinary beasts or psionic creatures, and the abyssal creatures all devoured each other and evolved themselves as their life instincts, and the more similar they were, the more they had to devour, because the evolutionary power gained by devouring the same kind far exceeded that of other abyssal creatures.

Originally, the python just regarded Leo as a difficult foreign creature to deal with, and considered whether to attack Leo, but Leo released the power of the abyssal serpent's eyeball, undoubtedly saying to the python, come and eat me!

Seeing this delicious python delivered to the door, where would he be polite, and he was naturally cleaning up his mouth directly.

Although things were unexpected, Leo didn't feel troubled by this, perhaps because of the influence of the abyssal serpent's eyeballs, in his eyes, this giant python with the power of the abyss was also a big meal.

At this time, the giant python that missed the blow quickly turned the snake's head and rushed towards Leo again, but this time Leo was prepared, plus he went all out, the speed and sensitivity of the action far exceeded that of the giant python, and he easily dodged the python's attack, and just like dealing with other pythons, the cross sword in his hand also slashed towards the python's neck.

However, something surprising happened, he thought that the cross-sword that could split everything could not break through the python's body, and after the sword slashed into it for a distance, it was stopped by an invisible force, and the wound caused by the long sword could only be regarded as a little skin for the python.

At this time, the python turned the head of the snake again and rushed towards Leo, Leo quickly drew his sword to dodge, dodging the attack of the snake head again, and at the same time he was ready to continue to attack the wound, although a sword could not cut off the body of the python, but repeatedly slashed along the wound, it was a matter of time before the python was cut off.

But just as he rushed over and raised his sword to slash, a sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart, and he immediately reacted instinctively, quickly dodging to the side, and then saw a pool of corrosive slime falling from the sky, right where he was standing just now.

"Is it even the plants that have been controlled?" Leo soon discovered that the mucus was shot out of the fruit of the withered cypress, which had now cracked a hole, like some kind of nozzle, aimed at Leo, and there was more than one such fruit, and the whole treetop was full of this fruit.

At this time, the python also turned its head to stare at Leo, as if it was looking at its prey that had fallen into a snare, and even saw a contemptuous smile on its snake mouth.
