After Leo and his party were ready, they walked towards the Giant's Gate like the people from the White Order before.

When he came outside the Giant's Gate, Leo immediately felt a strong suction force coming from inside the door, pulling him into the door. He did not resist and allowed this force to pull him into the door.

After experiencing a sense of weightlessness, he felt the weight again, but the surrounding scene had changed, and he came to a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, the place where everything ended.

"Why are you here?" Leo looked at the ashes falling from the sky and couldn't help but frowned. Before, he thought that the so-called trial location when entering the Black City was in a certain area of ​​the Black City, but he

What I didn't expect was to arrive at the place where everything ends.

"Something's wrong!" But Leo's expression quickly changed, and he took out the necklace that the female leader had given him before, felt the psychic energy fluctuations in it, and then tried the chip attached behind his ear.

, and found that both items were malfunctioning. He could neither sense the location of the White Order elders through the necklace, nor contact other people through the chip. If the distance between each other was not too far, it would have exceeded the scope of the two items.

, that is, he personally is not in the trial area of ​​the Black City.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but take out the phalanx of the Ember Butterfly that he had obtained before. He saw that the phalanx was emitting waves of subtle light at this moment, as if it was sending some signal.

However, there is no Ember Butterfly in the place where everything ends for Leo now. He is not in the seaside ruins full of lost civilization ruins, but in a strange-looking jungle.

I saw that this jungle was shrouded in endless gray fog. There were no shrubs in the jungle. There was only a very shallow layer of wild grass that looked like it was carved from stone. In addition, there were countless trees that were very similar to banyan trees all over the place.

Everywhere, if you look carefully, you will find a human face with eyes closed on the trunks of these banyan trees.

Leo is not in a hurry to leave here, because he knows very well that if he blindly walks around here, it is likely to make things worse. What he has to do now is to identify his position and find the direction to leave.

In advance, Alice and the others didn't tell Leo how to pass the test, and maybe they didn't know it themselves. This also made Leo have no idea how to leave here, but it was obvious that there was something in this forest that he didn't want to do.

I saw Leo standing like this.

There was a rustling sound all around, and it felt like many reptiles were approaching.

After Leo heard the strange noise, he immediately turned the twins into cross swords. At the same time, he also took out several previously made runes and mechanical traps from the storage space and arranged them in appropriate places.

Not long after, I saw some spiders crawling out of the gray mist. It was incorrect to say they were spiders, because the bodies of these spiders were all heads with upward faces. These heads contained both human heads and monster heads.

The heads, and even the heads of many alien races that Leo knew.

The human-headed spider that rushed out of the gray mist had no intention of stopping and rushed directly towards Leo. However, the mechanical traps and rune traps arranged by Leo's sight around him all came into play, especially the soul bonfire rune trap.

, directly ignites all approaching insects like firewood, and these ignited monsters will quickly turn into ashes, and provide stronger power to the Soul Bonfire Rune Trap, increasing the power and range of the trap.

.

Compared with the Soul Bonfire Rune Trap, the effects of other traps are obviously much weaker, especially mechanical traps. Although the trap shrapnel can easily tear those human-headed spiders apart, after the human-headed spider is torn apart, the split limbs will

In a short period of time, they turned into two smaller spiders with human heads and continued to attack Leo.

Facing these human-headed spiders, Leo quickly waved the cross sword in his hand, cutting each approaching spider into two pieces, and slowly moved towards the soul bonfire rune trap.

Perhaps because of the special power of the Twins, all the human-headed spiders cut open by the Twins' cross swords are undoubtedly exceptions. They cannot split into two smaller individuals like the same kind split by the mechanical trap, but always maintain the cut shape.

, neither died nor recovered.

Although there are so many human-headed spiders, it would be difficult for ordinary people to survive in the tide of spiders, but Leo's physical fitness and cross-sword sword skills after several evolutions are enough to cope with such attacks, even if he is fighting alone

It can last for a few days and nights. Now with the assistance of the Soul Bonfire Rune Trap, these human-headed spiders have no possibility of regeneration, making the so-called crisis at hand extremely easy.

Although the incoming human-headed spiders were ferocious, they were not really endless. After the situation was in a stalemate for about ten minutes, the incoming number of human-headed spiders gradually decreased and eventually all disappeared. Except for those who were burned to ashes by the soul bonfire rune traps,

Apart from the human-headed spiders, there were only spider remains that were cut in half by Leo and were still alive.

At this time, Leo discovered that after burning a large number of human-headed spiders, there were changes in the Soul Bonfire Rune Trap that he had not seen before and that he did not know about. In addition to condensing some soul crystals in the Soul Bonfire Rune Trap,

There was actually an additional flame that could only be seen with spiritual vision.

Leo felt no danger from the flames, so he tried to reach out and touch it. He found that although his body did not feel the temperature of the flames, his soul felt a warmth that could not be described in words.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his soul seemed to have undergone some changes under the influence of this warm feeling.

In the past, Leo always felt that his emotions, thoughts and other mental matters were somewhat uncontrollable. Taking curiosity as an example, if the matter of cooperation with Alice was decided according to Leo's nature, it would be

He would never agree to this cooperation without understanding the whole story and collecting enough information. However, he did not make a rational decision to refuse cooperation. Instead, he was driven by curiosity and agreed to cooperate without hesitation.

This obviously goes against Leo's cyborg character.

Now Leo feels that his originally uncontrollable emotions seem to have become much docile after he came into contact with the flames. A moment ago, he was still thinking about whether he should take this opportunity to explore the place where everything ends.

Secret, but now he has begun to rationally want to leave here as soon as possible and return to the Black City. There are two completely different attitudes before and after.

However, maintaining this kind of flame requires soul crystals around the soul bonfire, and it consumes a lot of energy. Soon there are only a few fist-sized pieces of soul crystal left.

Although Leo wanted to keep the flame going, the soul crystals also had an effect on him and could be used to arrange new soul bonfire runes when necessary, so he could only dispel the soul bonfire rune traps and remove those on the ground.

The soul crystal was picked up and placed in the storage space.

Just when Leo was checking how many usable rune traps and materials for making rune traps were still in the storage space, the untouched crystal magic book that had been stored in the storage space suddenly shone with bursts of light, and

What caused the abnormality was the soul crystal that was just sent to the storage space.

What made Leo a little confused was that he had put the soul crystals produced by the soul bonfire into the storage space before, but the crystal magic book did not show any abnormality, but now the same item caused it to resonate.

Then the reason for such a farmer's name is probably not only the soul crystal stone, but the surrounding environment should also be one of the reasons.

In order to confirm his guess, Leo took out the crystal magic book and a piece of soul crystal from the storage space, placed them in his left and right hands respectively, and then tried to touch each other.

The moment the two items touched each other, the surface of the crystal magic book immediately shone with a burst of intense white light, but the white light soon disappeared, and the soul crystal disappeared with the white light.

If you are an ordinary person, you may think that the mutation caused by the crystal magic book is just a white light. However, Leo, who has extraordinary observation ability, discovered that there is something in the white light. For this reason, he tried to call the language chip behind his ear.

The flashback function recalls the temporary memory of the moment when the white light was generated, thereby discovering what is hidden in the white light.

"Soul gun." After sorting out the contents, Leo found out that this was an unheard of witchcraft that directly attacks the soul. No matter how calm he was, a surprised expression appeared on his face involuntarily.

Because he remembered that all the witchcraft books he had read did not record a witchcraft that could be used to directly attack the soul. For example, the soul bonfire rune only passively attacks the soul, and it must only be a soul, like a living person.

It won't work at all.

But the soul gun is different. This witchcraft can directly kill the soul, regardless of whether the soul is in the body of a living creature. It can be cast instantly like the witcher's seal, and only requires a little spiritual energy.

This means that if he faces some physically powerful beings, he has attack methods that can deal with these powerful beings, and even counterattack them.

In the excitement, Leo tried his best to calm down and carefully read the method of using the soul gun. However, after reading it, he felt a little disappointed because he found that there must be a prerequisite for using the soul gun.

, that is the soul crystal. Otherwise, to perform this witchcraft, he would need to provide the special power needed to perform the soul gun at the cost of his own soul.

Although it is mentioned in the relevant content that using the soul gun with one's own soul will not cause harm to the caster as long as it does not exceed the soul's endurance limit. At most, the caster will be mentally exhausted after casting the spell and only needs to rest for a few days to recover.

.

But Leo couldn't believe these statements, because after all, it involved the soul, and any witchcraft that affected the soul could not be truly harmless, at least from all the witchcraft and occult related things he had seen before.

This is what the books say.

In addition, Leo also discovered that this witchcraft seems to have room for further evolution, because at the end of the witchcraft description, there is a sentence that may be left by the crystallization old man, mentioning that the strength of the soul determines the nature of the soul gun and the quality of the soul crystal.

Determines the power of the soul gun.

If Leo's guess is correct, the strength of the previous soul should refer to the soul strength of the caster, or it can be said to be the caster's psychic level. As long as the psychic level is high enough, then the soul gun used

It will also become different.

As for the soul crystals, this reminded Leo of the two parasite-mutated Velen heroes he encountered in White City. They had different soul crystals left after being burned by the soul bonfire runes.

Thinking of this, Leo also felt how precious the soul crystals were, and couldn't help but regret that he had burned so many soul crystals with the flames created by the soul bonfire runes. If he had kept those soul crystals, he would have been able to fight the enemy with the same methods.

More or less.

"Would you like to stay here for a little longer?" An idea suddenly came to Leo's mind, but at the same time as he had this idea, his instinct was warning him that if he continued to stay, he might encounter unexpected troubles.

Although Leo felt that it would be more beneficial to him to stay here for a while and attract some human-headed spiders to create soul crystals, he also believed in his instinctive feeling, because when the psyker evolves to the fifth level

, there are already some premonition-like perceptions, especially when it is related to one's own safety, this premonition becomes more and more intense. In the Earth Federation, no psyker will ignore this kind of crisis perception, because people who ignore crisis perception will eventually

Everyone will encounter various unexpected events.

Leo chose to follow his instinctive perception and quickly gestured to the battlefield. Then he no longer relied on rational judgment, but relied on vague sensory judgment to choose the direction that made him feel most relaxed and walked into the gray fog.

Walk through a jungle full of strange trees.

Just like the jungle in the outside world, there are also various dangers hidden in the jungle here. In addition to the human-headed spiders we saw before, there are also various strange monsters, such as a big snake with a head completely made of bones, thunder and lightning.

It took Ou a little effort to kill this giant snake, whose power was comparable to that of a fifth-level psyker.

But just like the jungle, there are also a lot of resources here, because all the monsters he solves will turn into ashes after death, and there will always be something left in the ashes, some of which can be used to make various wizard items.

and rune traps' psychic substances, and some are soul crystals. All in all, his storage space has been replenished with a lot of psychic substances, so there is no need to worry about material issues in a short period of time.

Through the timing function of the chip behind his ear, Leo walked for about four hours. The surrounding jungle remained unchanged, but the ground showed some changes, from the weeds and dirt of the primitive jungle to a relatively flat ground.
