Chapter 19: Fog Wonderland

"Damn it! Someone attacked!"
"There are enemies!"
"Hide! Hide!"
The moment the man named Pierre fell to the ground, everyone screamed and quickly hid behind huge tree roots, holding the weapons in their hands tightly and watching vigilantly at the source of the weapons.
.
Some people were worried that the flame of the lantern would reveal their position, so they quickly extinguished the flame of the lantern. Because some people did this, others did not think there was anything wrong with this, so they followed suit and extinguished the lights.
However, they did not know that their actions not only failed to save their lives, but also accelerated their death.
Just when the surrounding environment was completely plunged into darkness, an extremely low muffled sound would be heard from time to time. If an attentive person listened carefully, they would be able to find that these sounds came from the location of the person who was hiding just now.
.
And when this sound sounded more than a dozen times, the surroundings became completely silent. Then a small fire appeared and a lantern was lit. After adjusting the lamp oil valve slightly with one hand, the fire became larger and illuminated the surrounding people.
The environment is illuminated.
I saw Leo, who had no changes on his body, standing next to a corpse with its throat cut. In the places where the surrounding lights could shine, there were several corpses hiding behind tree roots, holding weapons tightly and lying on the ground.
On the ground, in other places outside the lights, there were the same corpses lying on the ground.
Under Leo's attack, the pursuit team of more than thirty people did not last ten minutes before they were completely wiped out. For Leo, who had countless experiences, this was just an extremely ordinary thing.
, as ordinary as drinking water and eating.
Leo did not leave immediately, but followed his past habits, carefully cleaning the battlefield and collecting loot.
The crossbows carried by these hunters were all very well made and could be regarded as fine handmade weapons. Unfortunately, Leo was not familiar with this kind of weapons, so he simply threw them aside. On the contrary, most of these people wore symbolic handkerchiefs around their waists.
Neil's battle axes, he was asked to select the ten best ones and hang them on the special belt around his waist.
Unlike the crossbow, Leo has experience in using the panier battle ax and can get started quickly without going through a familiarization period.
Panier tomahawks are somewhat similar to the military-made Indian tomahawks of the old Earth era. Although the Earth Federation army has mainly used magnetic energy and laser weapons, special attack troops like Leo, which mainly focus on infiltration and beheading, will still deploy some
It is a cold weapon for melee combat, and what Leo chose at that time was this kind of weapon that could be thrown from a distance or used for close combat.
After picking out the weapons, Leo packed up all the medicines on these people, whether they were familiar or unknown, and took away all the money they carried.
After sorting out a large package, Leo turned his attention to the muskets in the hands of the three people.
It is different from the standard repeating breech-loading gun with a large magazine provided by the British Kingdom. The musket Leo is holding now is a single-shot breech-loading gun. Its shape and structure are very similar to the M1903 from the old earth era.
Springfield rifle.
This kind of rifle can be pre-loaded with five rounds of bullets, but it can only fire a single round. Each time you shoot, you need to pull the bolt and load the bullets before you can continue shooting.
The reason why this inconvenient loading design is still used despite having more advanced large-capacity automatic magazines is entirely to slow down the shooting speed of firearm users.
After all, compared with the ordinary bullets in large magazines that sometimes fail to work, the special bullets equipped in these firearms are not only able to be activated every time, but are also expensive to make. If you also use that kind of large magazine and repeater gun
If so, even the finances of a rich and powerful country like the French Empire would not be able to withstand such losses.
Although Leo has not used this type of gunpowder firearm, he has used a similar Gauss rifle. Due to the shape and shooting principle of the firearm, there may be some minor obstacles in its use, but just like the Panier Tomahawk, he
You should also be able to quickly become familiar with the use of this weapon.
Leo carried one of the well-maintained rifles behind his back, took off the five ammunition bags placed on the waists of the three of them, hung them on his body, and then took out five ammunition bags from the other two firearms.
Preloaded special bullets.
"It is found that high-energy substances have low energy levels and cannot be absorbed."
Just when Leo's hand touched the ammunition, the assistant brain system immediately sent out a prompt, indicating that this special ammunition was a high-energy object.
Leo looked at the ten special ammunition in his hand, and thought that the only difference between this kind of ammunition and ordinary ammunition was the addition of a special stabilizer. Obviously, there must be a kind of stabilizer added to this stabilizer.
A variety of high-energy substances.
However, he also remembered that the formula of this stabilizer and the source of the rare raw materials were top secrets in various countries, and not something that low-level people like him could know.
Thinking of this, Leo also gave up the idea of ​​tracing high-energy substances from this special bullet.
Putting these ammunition into the ammunition bag, Leo walked back with a lantern. Although he had checked through the mental network before leaving that there was no danger around the resting place, a place like the Black Forest cannot be treated with common sense.
Judging from this, it is not impossible for things to be safe and calm one moment and dangerous the next.
Soon, Leo passed through a bush and came to the tree root arch bridge he had passed before. He could already vaguely see the faint light in front of him.
But just when he was about to board the arch bridge and walk to the other side, he stopped because he found that just a moment ago, there was nothing on the other side, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered by an inexplicable thick fog.
It was as if this eye-catching thick fog appeared out of thin air.
Thinking of the information related to the foggy moon, Leo's originally relaxed mood tightened, and his expression became serious.
Leo, who was cautious and alert, walked slowly to the opposite side of the arch bridge and in front of the wall of fog formed by the thick fog. He stretched out his hand and tried to penetrate into the thick fog.
"A high-energy force field was discovered. The energy level is too low and cannot be absorbed. It can be used to supplement psychic energy."
At this time, the prompt from the subbrain system appeared in front of Leo again, but it was different from the previous prompt for special ammunition in that there was an additional sentence that could be used to supplement psychic energy.
Seeing this prompt, Leo's previous question about where the high-energy force field that appeared in the black forest came from was answered. Obviously these weird thick fogs are the cause of this high-energy force field.
Judging from the absolutely rational mentality of biological weapons in the past, the thick fog in front of us belongs to an unknown dangerous zone and must be avoided. Even if your comrades fall into it, they will not enter.
But now, because Leo has integrated the remaining memories of this body, he has a lot more emotions, including friendship and responsibility. When his reason tells Leo to turn around and take a detour, his inner emotions drive him to do nothing.
He walked hesitantly into the thick fog.
When most of Leo's body entered the thick fog, a strong suction force appeared in the thick fog, pulling the part of his body that had not yet entered into the fog.
When his whole body fell into the thick fog, he immediately felt as if he was sinking into water. There was an invisible force squeezing his body around him, making him feel slightly depressed and suffocated.
Because the assistant brain system was collecting and sorting various data in real time, Leo quickly figured out that the current situation was still caused by high-energy force fields, because there were obvious differences between the high-energy force fields inside the dense fog and outside the dense fog.
It is strong or weak, so it causes the force similar to drag just now, as well as the discomfort such as suffocation.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his body, Leo saw that in the psychic energy section of the personal data interface in front of him, the psychic energy he had previously consumed due to the use of psychic vision, mental network and other skills was rapidly recovering. He was a little nervous because he was in an unknown environment.
My mood also relaxed a lot.
At this moment, the thick fog had a great impact on the vision. Even though Leo's vision was much better than that of ordinary people, he still could not see clearly anything one meter away.
Fortunately, he had collected the surrounding terrain data through the mental network before, formed a terrain map, and projected it into his eyeballs to form a three-dimensional illusion, so that even if his eyes could not see through the thick fog, he could still know the location of any object.
The exact location is as if the thick fog doesn't exist.
Leo followed the projection instructions in his eyes and moved forward quickly, and soon arrived at the place where they had rested before, and also saw the extremely weak lantern light flashing in the thick fog.
When he got closer, he found that Nelson and Jason were both lying on the ground. It felt like they had been attacked when the thick fog appeared.
He immediately stepped forward to check and found that it was just a false alarm. The two of them had not been attacked in any way. After some inspection, he confirmed that they had just fallen asleep.
"It seems that they were unable to withstand the high-energy force field in the thick fog, and their bodies had a protective reaction?" Leo quickly made a judgment on the cause of their coma based on their physical conditions.
However, this coma may not cause harm to the two of them now, but if they continue to be comatose like this, or continue to bear the influence of the unknown high-energy force field around them, will they eventually suffer permanent injuries?
It's unknown.
Thinking of this, Leo planned to carry the two of them out of the thick fog first, and then consider how to pass through the thick fog.
Just when Leo leaned down, grabbed the waistbands of their pants, and was about to lift them up and take them away, a sense of danger suddenly appeared, causing his body to instinctively move aside according to the perceived direction.
Then he felt as if something sharp had been brushed against his right arm.
He turned around and saw that the clothes on his right arm had been cut open. The threads in the cut area were neat, indicating that the sharp tool used to cut the clothes was very sharp.
Although the clothes were not completely cut, he felt that there was an additional wound on the arm where the break was. It was obvious that in addition to the sharpness of the sharp weapon, there might be an unknown layer on the blade that could hurt the body but not damage the clothes.
strength.
Soon, the sense of crisis reappeared, and this time Leo could clearly feel that the mysterious entity's attack was on his neck, and the speed was much faster than before.
The current situation was too urgent for Leo to think about it. He instinctively made the decision that was most suitable for his current situation, instantly activated his perfect control skills, and entered a perfect state physically and mentally.
I saw that Leo's figure flashed, and his whole body moved about thirty centimeters in an instant. The Panier tomahawk on his waist also appeared in his hand at the same time. One of the tomahawks seemed to be pointed at random.
He swung it out of the air beside him.
A muffled sound of "porphyry" appeared out of thin air, and then a sense of obstruction from the ax blade as if it was hitting something real.
Immediately afterwards, Leo turned around and threw another battle ax into the air along with his body.
The flying battle ax paused in the air for a moment as if it hit something, and then the powerful throwing force pushed it forward and fell not far away.
At this time, a rather magical scene appeared. The thrown ax was suspended in mid-air and shaking up and down regularly.
"Cancel perfect control and activate spiritual vision." Seeing this, Leo immediately switched to psychic skills.
As the spiritual vision skill was activated, the thick fog in front of Leo's eyes disappeared instantly, and the black forest covered by the thick fog reappeared in front of his eyes.
However, the black forest at this time is completely different from the dark and lightless black forest just now. The black forest in front of you is like a dream forest in a fairy tale, full of incredible and magical scenes.
I saw that the black forest was as bright as day at this moment. This was not because the sunlight penetrated the layers of dense branches and leaves, but because every tree here became a luminous tree, and the weak light shone from the trunk, branches, and roots of the tree.
They spread out everywhere and gathered together, dispersing the darkness of the black forest.
The scene on the top of the tree is even more magical. The top of the tree, which was originally just some branches and leaves, is now full of flowers of various colors, as are the vines wrapped around it.
If it were just covered with flowers of various colors, it wouldn't make Leo feel magical. What really made Leo feel like this place was like a fairyland was the light balls that were constantly flying around the flowers.
Through the ability of spiritual vision, he easily saw clearly that inside the fast-flying light ball were little people with transparent wings and wearing leaf clothes. Each of these little people was holding a small hand made of flower bones.
Basket, holding sticks smaller than matchsticks in his hand, gently tapped the flowers on the top of the tree, and used the basket to catch the fallen pollen.
"Little goblins, little fairies!" Although Leo has not read those fairy tales from the old earth era, he is also very familiar with some magical species in fairy tales. It is obvious that the little people flying above his head, no matter how you look at them,
They are all very similar to the two magical species in fairy tales.
Leo took a few deep breaths to calm down his strange emotions. After looking away from the top of his head, he checked the situation around his body.
The first thing that enters the eye is the ground. The ground that was originally covered with black sludge has now turned into a golden yellow. This golden yellow does not simply change the color of the soil, but has grown a layer that looks like moss and is as soft as
Downy golden vegetation.
Then, he discovered that Nelson and Jason, who had been by his side just now, had disappeared.
Leo calmly thought about the scene where he had just been attacked by an invisible unknown creature, so he squatted down and groped around where Jason and Nelson were lying, and found that the two people's bodies were just transparent.
Chapter completed!
