Chapter 241 World Network
A mysterious spiritual energy poured into Leo's eyes from the spider tattoo on the back of his hand. Leo's psychic vision skills also changed. Although the scene in front of him did not change, there was something more.
The net is an endless big net that covers the whole world. Everyone is in the net. Each person is connected to a mesh. The mesh extends to the sky and is connected to a big net covering the sky. On that big net
There are countless web weavers crawling around. Above this layer of net, there seems to be a larger layer of net. This net covers the entire starry sky with no end in sight. There are no web weavers on it, only
A black shadow that looks like a human spider.
"Damn it!"
The moment he saw the black shadow of the human spider, Leo immediately felt that his will, which was as tough as a ninth-level psyker, was approaching the edge of collapse, and his mind might fall into madness at any time.
Feeling that something was wrong, he quickly lowered his head and stopped looking at the black figure. Only then did his will, which was on the verge of collapse, stabilize. And when he lowered his head, his spiritual vision also saw him, and what surprised him was that his
The body is not connected by a mesh, and it seems to be isolated from the whole world.
"Ah!" Just when Leo wanted to further observe the condition of the mesh on his body, the spider tattoo on the back of his hand suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then he saw that the spider tattoo quickly dissipated like a stain being washed.
, and soon there was no trace, as if it had never existed, and his spiritual vision returned to normal, and the net he had seen before disappeared.
After recovering from the shock, Leo turned his head and looked at the web weavers, who were also looking at Leo at this time.
At this moment, Leo realized why he always felt that these web weavers looked at him strangely before. He subconsciously thought that these web weavers had bad intentions, but now he understood that these web weavers had evil intentions.
I'm just curious about myself and why I don't have mesh on my body.
"I just saw..." Leo was thinking about everything he just saw, and was preparing to ask the web spinner for more details.
But the web weaver shook his head, put his hand on his lips, made a silent gesture, and ignored Leo, but always looked at the refugees in front of him.
Seeing this situation, Leo didn't ask any more questions. He just carefully recalled all the information about the web weaver in his mind over and over again, and he and the web weaver followed the large team in a leisurely manner.
Although this gravel valley located on the top of a mountain does not appear to be very large, it is actually completely different. Even if their sight can penetrate the wind and snow that has become much smaller and see the mountains opposite the valley,
The actual journey is far further than what appears.
The journey is already very far, and most of the roads on the ground are made up of pieces of gravel. Compared with the majestic and towering mountains around, for ordinary people, these gravels are smaller than the smallest ones.
The knees need to be high, and the largest ones even require climbing to pass, which virtually slows down the progress.
From the time they entered the valley in the morning to the evening when the sky was getting dark and the sun was about to set, this team of refugees did not leave the valley, not even halfway through the journey.
This traveling speed was much slower than Barak expected. Only then did Barak realize a mistake in his plan. He mistakenly regarded each refugee as a hunter who often walked in the mountains, so he also followed the rules.
Orion calculated the time it would take to pass through the Dibia Mountains based on his foot strength. But now it seems that the time required to lead these people through the Dibia Mountains may far exceed his estimated time, and may even be more than double.
However, now he knew very well that he could not turn back and could only continue walking. Fortunately, they had prepared sufficient food and cold-warming items, and they could also hunt in the mountains to increase their food, so as long as they were distributed properly, there should be no adverse effects.
Before the sun completely set, Barak found a relatively empty space, and then announced that he would stop advancing and stay here tonight and continue tomorrow.
Hearing the news, all the refugees cheered. In fact, they were already exhausted. The reason why they walked was just influenced by others, so after hearing the order to set up camp, they all sat on the ground.
, panting heavily, trying to regain his exhausted strength.
After regaining a little strength, the refugees began to set up camp under the guidance of the accompanying hunters. Soon tents were erected in this open space. Because the open space was not large enough, many people could not put their tents in the open space.
Once the tent is set up, you can only share one tent with other people.
While the refugees were allocating tents, the accompanying hunters did not rest. Instead, under Barak's arrangement, some people set up various defensive traps around the camp to guard against wild beasts that appeared at night attacking the camp. Some of them attacked the camp.
Scatter around and look for all kinds of prey you can catch.
Although the food prepared is sufficient, in order to avoid unexpected situations, Barak will save food and increase food as much as possible. Therefore, he not only lets his hunters go out to catch prey, but also allows the refugees in the camp to prepare as much food as possible.
Preserve foods that have been stored for a long time, and eat foods that are not easy to preserve first.
In addition, he also asked some energetic refugees to collect firewood in safe areas that had been swept by hunters to prepare for overnight bonfires.
Under the command of the experienced Barak, a large camp accommodating a thousand people was quickly set up in this barren mountain and deep valley. When the bonfires in and around the camp were lit, the sun completely set and the surrounding area became pitch black.
, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief under the warm firelight.
Barak personally arranged everything for the camp, not because he really had a sense of responsibility, but because he wanted to show his abilities in front of those powerful people, so as to gain the attention of those powerful people.
In fact, the effect of this approach was very obvious. After the camp was set up, the dignitaries sent people to invite Barak to have a meal with them in their tent. It was obvious that Barak's ability had been recognized by them. As long as he could lead these people through
After crossing the Dibia Mountains, he will also have the city life he dreams of.
On the other side, Leo and the Web Weaver were very unpopular, and all the refugees ignored them. It’s no wonder that these refugees have this attitude. This is entirely what Leo and the others asked for.
, other refugees who were also not fully prepared would take the initiative to help and participate fully when setting up the camp, while Leo and the web weavers casually found a sheltered place to sit down.
, not even the slightest move to help.
Therefore, after the tents were set up, other people, even those who brought nothing but a simple quilt, were arranged to live in other tents with hot food, except for Leo and the others who were not arranged.
Leo didn't care about this, and the web weavers didn't care either. They just sat outside the camp and watched the commotion inside the camp. This scene made those who saw it feel extremely weird, and they couldn't help but have some thoughts.
curiosity.
However, because they walked all day during the day and did not rest for long afterwards, they set up tents and set up camps, so most of the people were exhausted. After eating a hot dinner, they all returned to their respective places.
Rest in the tent and prepare for tomorrow's trip. As for the curiosity about Leo and these weirdos, it is obvious that he can't resist the fatigue and sleepiness on his body.
Just when many people were sleeping in the tent, a child ran out of the camp, carrying a basket in his hand, ran up to Leo and the web weaver, and grilled the inside of the basket until it was fragrant and hot.
The bread was handed to them, and then he seemed to run away back to the camp and fell into the arms of a young couple.
Looking at the hot bread in his hand, Leo raised his hand and drew a few runes in the air with the spiritual energy of his fingertips. At the same time, he recited a few spells and followed the runes that were invisible to the naked eye.
Several rays of green light flew into the bodies of the couple and the child.
Leo's actions did not hide the web weavers next to him. They were obviously dissatisfied with Leo's actions, and they all frowned. One of them even stood up and tried to cast the green light on the runes.
Intercept them before they reach that family.
However, before the web-weavers could make any move, a strong psychic pressure enveloped them. At this moment, Leo used necromancy to imitate the power of the lord of turbidity and lightness. Although there was no difference between the two.
There was a vast difference between quality and quantity, but it was enough to suppress these web-spinners. It wasn't until the runes were integrated into the family that Leo withdrew the psychic technique, and started to compete with each other.
He put his finger on his lips and made a silent gesture to the web weavers.
Leo's actions undoubtedly had a certain impact on the web weaver's harvest of souls, but the web weaver did not take action against Leo. He just looked at the thunder monkey dissatisfied for a while, then turned his head and stared at the camp that belonged to him.
those prey.
Just like Leo didn't know much about their strength and was not completely sure that they would be able to gain the upper hand in the conflict, they were also not sure that they could win or drive away Leo. If they saw Leo before, it was just because
If they were surprised by the thick and strong spiritual aura on Leo's body, then when Leo imitated the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Lord of Turbidity and Ethereality just now, they all mistakenly thought that Leo was a flesh-and-blood dependent of a certain great being.
He was more worried and afraid of Leo, so naturally he would not take action.
The misjudgments of these web weavers are exactly what Leo wants to see. After he saw the existence behind the web weavers just now, he considered finding a backer for himself. Even if this backer was just a fake, doing so could reduce the risk in disguise.
Some conflicts and troubles may arise, but judging from the current implementation, the effect is not bad.
Soon the noise in the camp died down, and most of the people went into the tents to rest. Only a few selected strong men stayed to act as sentries, alert to dangerous beasts that might appear at night.
At first, these sentinels formed by refugees and hunters could still perform their duties and patrol inside and outside the camp every once in a while. But as time passed, everything inside and outside the camp became extremely quiet, except for the sound of the wind.
No other sounds can be heard, let alone wild beasts. This calmness also makes the sentries relax their vigilance. Most of them will sit next to the campfire to warm themselves up and rest, and few will continue to patrol the camp.
Just as the time entered the early hours of the morning, the wind and snow outside seemed to have become lighter, and the sound of subtle footsteps amidst the sound of the wind and snow woke Leo, who was at the edge of the camp, from his state of resting with his eyes closed.
.
Leo opened his eyes and immediately used his spiritual vision skill and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a figure lying on a large rock far away from the camp, looking towards the direction of the refugee camp. There were four or five similar figures huddled together under the rock.
Although Leo's spiritual vision skills include night vision and far vision, the figures he saw were not very clear due to the obstruction of the wind and snow. However, from the obvious features of the figures, he could still quickly identify who the voyeurs were.
The son of the swamp whom I have seen before.
"Did you arrange it?" Leo asked the web spinner while pointing to the location of the Swamp Children.
The web spinners felt a little puzzled and surprised by Leo's sudden inquiry. Then they looked in the direction of Leo's fingers and identified the children of the swamp with their own special abilities.
Obviously, the relationship between the Familia is not necessarily friendly, and some may even be dead. When the Web Weaver recognized the sons of the swamp, angry expressions immediately appeared on their faces, and they stood up one after another, as if their bodies were floating.
He moved into the darkness and moved towards the children of the swamp.
Those children of the swamp are obviously different from the children of the swamp that Leo encountered in the forest on the outskirts of Miria City. They have stronger abilities. They sense the danger before the web weaver approaches and are as fast as frogs.
He moved quickly among the gravel covered with a thick layer of snow, and soon escaped into the deeper darkness in the distance.
Although the hyena-like sons of the swamp had been driven away, the web spinner was obviously not satisfied with the result. When he returned to the camp, his face looked very gloomy.
After a while, the oldest web weaver suddenly stood up, walked to Leo, and spoke for the first time, saying: "I... want... to... hire... you!"
A very simple sentence, but it was very difficult to say it in the mouth of the web weaver, as if it was the first time he spoke it.
The performance of this kind of web weaver also confirmed a guess that came to Leo's mind when he saw the abnormal scene before. These web weavers are just attached to people, and their true appearance should be
