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

This castle was built according to the very traditional gate-style castle of the Kingdom of Maris. The foundation was made of large stones, the superstructure was mostly made of wood and stone, and a large cellar was dug underground to store food and the like.

of.

Leo's mental network did not find anything worthy of attention in the castle, nor did it find any abnormal energy fluctuations. Everything seemed so normal.

After the investigation was fruitless, Leo did not feel discouraged. After all, the terrifying legend about this castle has been circulating for nearly a thousand years. During this thousand years, countless people have tried to unlock the secrets hidden in this castle, but ultimately failed.

He didn't think he could unlock the secrets of this thousand-year-old abandoned castle just by scanning the spiritual network.

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

The reason why he did not take back the mental network completely was because those legends mentioned that people would dream, and if the dreamer died in the dream, then people in reality would also die. Therefore, Leo's mental network covered

During the entire caravan camp, the vital characteristics of everyone in the camp were also monitored. Once someone's vital characteristics were abnormal, he would be able to know immediately.

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

Everyone came out of the tent one after another, briefly freshened up, and then started to get busy.

In order to prevent the water on the ground from affecting the tents, they rearranged all the pack cars in a certain position, set up strong wooden boards between the pack cars, and moved all the tents to the wooden boards.

Then, they cleared an open space, set up a separate large tent with a ventilated top, lit a bonfire inside the large tent, and set it up as a public activity area.

After the tent was set up, the servants in the caravan began to prepare food, while others were doing nothing. Some took out some board games and played them in the big tent, while others returned to their tents and continued to rest.

, but there are still some young people who are not willing to miss the good opportunity to explore this mysterious castle, and go to this castle with terrifying legends in small groups for adventure.

Leo got up very early. He did not go on a big adventure in the castle like those curious young people in the caravan. Instead, he left the caravan alone, walked out of the castle, and came to the dry place outside the castle.

Inside the Piper Forest, carefully examine the tree growth and forest environment.

In Leo's opinion, compared to the illusory legends inside the castle, the forest outside the castle is the most eye-catching abnormal thing. And since this thing appears here, it must be related to the terrifying legends inside the castle.

association.

Now that Leo can't find any clues from the castle through the spiritual network, he might as well find another way and see if he can find some useful information from the surrounding forest.

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

A very cold and humid climate.

Because of its special tree species, Cypress can grow not only in the tropics but also in the cold zone. However, other plants do not have such characteristics. Most Savile plants cannot grow here, and even if they can grow, they will not grow very large.

.

A large number of low shrubs and weeds grow underneath, and the roots and stumps of dead cypress trees are covered with moss that likes a cold and humid climate. The rotten plants accumulated over thousands of years have made the ground in the forest soft.

Yes, somewhat inattentive.

Although the forest is very large, there are not many plant species, and therefore there are also few animal species growing here. An omnivore called the wrinkled rat is the largest biota in this forest, but this forest occupies

The absolute dominant force is a group of pythons that have not been recorded in medical schools.

When the caravan passes through the forest in the morning, the eyes hiding in the darkness of the forest and staring at the caravan are from these pythons.

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

The appearance of these pythons is no different from the common forest pythons, except that their bodies are larger than the forest pythons. The smallest one is more than 20 meters long, and the largest one is more than 50 meters long, which is a giant.

However, Leo, who is well-informed, has seen monsters bigger than these pythons, so he is not interested in the huge shapes of these pythons. He is interested in the power that causes these pythons to mutate and their mutated abilities.

Leo didn't know yet whether the huge shapes of these pythons were part of the mutation, but he knew very well that the eyes of these pythons had definitely mutated.

Because when he enters the forest, these pythons do not use their snake shape to detect the temperature like other snakes to identify where he is, but like most wild beasts, they use their eyes to observe movement.

These giant pythons entangled their bodies with the trunks of dry cypress trees and entangled themselves in the air. The moment Leo walked into the forest, a pair of cold snake eyes stared at Leo, and followed Leo's movements.

Moving and moving, they obviously regard Leo as a prey that can be eaten.

Leo didn't plan to take any measures in advance, nor did he think of intimidating the giant python through other methods. On the contrary, he really hoped that the giant python would attack him, because in this way, he might be able to obtain information from the commotion in the forest.

More useful information, instead of always feeling that this forest is no different from an ordinary forest like now.

As Leo entered the depths of the forest, more and more giant pythons gathered above Leo's head. A rough calculation showed that there were about twenty more pythons.

These giant pythons seemed to be unable to tolerate a delicious prey walking back and forth beneath them without any care. One of the giant pythons, which was more than thirty meters long, was the first to attack and quickly swam to the top of Leo's path.

, calculated the timing correctly, lowered the huge snake head, opened its mouth, and rushed towards Leo's head.

Although the movement of the giant python is very big, the movement it makes is very small. Most people cannot avoid it at all and will be swallowed directly by the mouth of the snake.

However, Leo was always paying attention to the movements of these giant pythons. When the giant python launched its attack, he was already prepared to deal with it, and the twin swords in his hands changed into the shape of a cross sword.

When the snake's head was about to fall to the top of his head, he moved a few steps sideways at high speed, easily avoiding the snake's mouth, and swung out the cross sword in his hand, and a huge snake head fell from the snake's body and wrapped around it.

The python's body on the tree trunk also slowly loosened its grip, and fell from the tree trunk under the influence of gravity.

The death of a giant python did not arouse the vigilance of these giant pythons, nor did it have any intimidating effect on them. Instead, they were inspired by the blood scattered in the forest below, and they swam down from the top of the tree along the trunk.

Attack Leo.

Faced with the siege of the giant python, Leo seemed relaxed and at ease. He moved as if walking. Although his movements were not fast, his position after movement was often just right to avoid the surrounding attacks, and the cross sword in his hand also moved.

Swing out while moving,

For Leo, the more than twenty giant pythons were just twenty times of avoidance and more than twenty swings of the sword. In less than three minutes, all of these giant pythons had their heads removed and fell into a pool of blood.

middle.

Although he solved these giant pythons that were spying on him, Leo's purpose of this trip was not achieved. In his opinion, these giant pythons were larger and more powerful than ordinary beasts. In other places, they were no different from beasts.

It has nothing to do with psychic creatures, and the noise they make will not have any impact on the forest.

The disappointed Leo was about to look elsewhere for the mystery of the forest's growth when he suddenly stopped and looked diagonally upwards, only to see a huge python head about the same size as a cart slowly falling from the air.

, stopped not far from Leo, staring at Leo with cold snake eyes.

"It's here!" Seeing this giant python, Leo not only didn't show any fear, but instead smiled.

When Leo discovered this giant python that was more than fifty meters long through the spiritual network just now, he did not find any energy fluctuations in the giant python, thinking that it was just a huge ordinary beast, but now the giant python has moved to

When he was in front of him, he had already felt the energy fluctuations on the giant python, as well as some resonance reactions caused by this energy fluctuations.

The first thing that caused the reaction was the resonance of the entire forest. Now Leo has understood that the entire forest is not without abnormal energy, but that these energies are extremely dispersed and dispersed to every dead cypress in the forest. In this way, the scattered power is

Seems very weak.

And now, because of the surging energy in the giant python, the energy contained in every dead cypress in the forest is also activated together, creating a resonance effect. At this time, the energy fluctuations Leo feels are no better than his sixth-level spirit.

No matter how different the ability is, the amount is greater.

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

However, what made Leo smile was not the energy fluctuations of the forest, but the reaction caused by the resonance of this energy in him, or more accurately, the reaction of the abyss serpent's eyeballs.

"The power of the abyss!" When Leo felt the resonance of the abyss snake's eyeballs, an answer immediately emerged in his mind.

Then he was seen letting go of the suppression of the Abyss Serpent's eyeballs, letting the power of the Abyss emanate from his body.

However, at the moment when the power of the abyss emitted 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 its eyes, and opened its big mouth to devour Leo.

Although the giant python is extremely huge, its attack speed is no faster than that of the python, and Leo did not expect that after he showed the power of the abyss, the giant python would suddenly attack, and he was caught off guard, even if it was in time.

He reacted and made an evasive action, but he was still hit by the giant python's body. He was sent flying out, and it was not until he hit a tree that he stabilized his body.

Although such a collision was nothing to Leo, it still made him look a little embarrassed.

"Damn, how could 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 abyssal creatures were no better than ordinary beasts or psychic creatures. Abyssal creatures evolved their own life instincts by devouring each other. The more similar they were, the more they wanted to devour, because the evolutionary power gained from devouring the same kind,

Far more than other abyss creatures.

Originally, the giant python only regarded Leo as an alien creature that was difficult to deal with, and considered whether to attack Leo, but Leo released the power of the abyss serpent's eyeballs, undoubtedly saying to the giant python, come on.

Eat me! I am a feast.

How can you be polite when you see this delicious giant python delivered to your door? If you just open your mouth, it is naturally in the process of cleaning.

Although things were unexpected, Leo did not feel troubled by this. Perhaps he was affected by the eyeballs of the abyss snake. 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 hit quickly turned its head and rushed towards Leo again, but this time Leo was prepared, and with all his strength, the speed and sensitivity of his movements far exceeded that of the giant python.

, easily dodged the attack of the giant python, and just like dealing with other pythons, the cross sword in his hand also slashed towards the neck of the giant python.

However, something surprising happened. The cross sword that he thought could cut through everything was unable to break through the giant python. After the sword penetrated a certain distance, it was stopped by an invisible force.

The wound caused by the long sword can only be regarded as a broken skin for this giant python.

At this time, the giant python turned its head again and rushed towards Leo. Leo quickly drew his sword to dodge and avoided the attack of the snake head again. At the same time, he was ready to continue attacking the wound. Although one sword could not cut off the body of the giant python,

But by repeatedly slashing along the wound, it was only a matter of time before the python was cut off.

But just when he rushed over and raised his sword to chop, a sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart. He immediately made an instinctive reaction and quickly ducked aside. Then he saw a pool of corrosive water.

The mucus fell from the air and landed exactly where he was standing just now.

"Are even plants under control?" Leo soon discovered that the mucus that shot out was the fruit grown on the dead cypress. The fruit had already cracked a hole at the moment, like some kind of nozzle.

Leo, and there is more than one such fruit, the entire top of the tree is covered with such fruits.
