"I think we can give it a try." Leo looked at Nelson and asked, "Doctor, what about you?"
"I'm fine." Nelson nodded.
So under the gaze of everyone, Nelson put his hand on the stone platform.
"It seems like something pricked my finger." Nelson, who had just put his hand on it, immediately exclaimed. He raised his hand and looked at the painful area on his fingertip, but he couldn't find any wound on his finger.
I couldn't help but have some doubts.
Sean said with some disdain: "Cousin Nelson, you are making too much fuss..."
Leo interrupted Sean's taunting, pointed at Nelson's face, and said, "Doctor, why has your face turned so pale!"
At this time, everyone realized that Nelson's face was as rosy as usual just a moment ago, but now he was as pale as an albino. And before everyone understood what was going on, Nelson suddenly fell to the ground and passed out.
.
Catherine on the side hurried forward to check, and soon got the result. She said suspiciously: "He lost too much blood and fell into a coma."
"Loss of blood? What's going on?" Everyone looked confused and completely at a loss.
Only Leo looked at the changing stone platform in front of him and said, "The doctor's blood is all inside the stone platform."
After hearing this, everyone looked towards the stone platform, only to see that the stone platform, which was ordinary just now, was now as black as obsidian, and traces of blood emitting red light gradually spread from the top like blood vessels on the stone platform.
It went down, covering the entire surface of the stone platform, and continued to extend toward the ground.
"Damn it," when he saw that the bloodshot was about to spread to his feet, Sean quickly took a few steps back and looked for an exit as a habit, but what he saw in front of him made him feel extremely frightened and shouted.
Said: "Exit! The exit is missing!"
As Sean's panicked shouts reached everyone's ears, they couldn't help but look towards the passage they came from, and the scene that greeted their eyes was just as Sean said, the passage they had just entered had disappeared.
, turned into a stone wall that blends into the surrounding stones.
Not only the entrance to the passage here, but also the bronze door on the other side quickly disappeared under the gaze of everyone, and also turned into a stone wall. In this way, the cave became a dead place without an exit.
"How could this happen?" When everyone was a little panicked by what was happening in front of them, they all looked at Leo, who was the backbone.
However, unlike the worries and panic on the faces of everyone around him, Leo's expression looked very calm.
For Leo, it is not a problem to turn the passage entrance and the bronze door into a stone wall, because the two stone walls are just illusions, and his mental network can still clearly perceive the location of the two passages.
What really made him feel extremely threatening was the changing stone platform with a high-energy force field in front of him.
From the moment when a quarter of Nelson's blood was instantly extracted from the stone platform, Leo's main attention has been on the stone platform, collecting a large number of psychic changes inside the stone platform through the spiritual network.
He found that Nelson's blood seemed to be some kind of catalyst, causing the spiritual energy in the stone platform that was not very active at first to roll around like boiling water, and continuously emit waves of spiritual energy outwards.
Although these psychic waves cannot be compared with the previous psychic waves of High Priest Deni in terms of lethality, this kind of psychic waves can penetrate into the spirits of surrounding living creatures and affect the emotions of anyone around them.
, for example, everyone is now so frightened and unable to calm down because they are affected by this psychic wave.
According to Leo's rational judgment, he should immediately use the weapon in his hand to decisively destroy the stone platform at this moment to prevent the stone platform from completing its final transformation and triggering the true power of psychic equipment in the stone platform. But his curiosity was stopping him.
He acted rationally because he wanted to see what would happen after Shitai finally completed the transformation.
And just when the two emotions were getting more and more anxious, the blood patterns spreading out from the stone platform finally covered the entire cave, including the stone wall on the top of the cave, which was also covered with blood vessel-like patterns.
At this time, all the blood patterns burst out with intense light at the same time. The high-energy force field contained in the light forced Leo's mental network back into his mind, and at the same time, his spirit went blank for a moment.
It directly makes the eyesight as if they are blind and unable to see anything.
When Leo's mind returned to normal and his eyesight also recovered, the sight in front of him surprised him a little.
I saw that he was no longer in an underground cave, but standing in the stands of an ancient arena.
At the moment, the ancient arena was shrouded in endless black mist. The black mist gave him the feeling of returning to the alien space that his spirit inadvertently entered when he turned on his spiritual power.
Perhaps due to disrepair or other reasons, the facilities of the arena are very old and badly damaged. The decorative carvings on the stone surface are all weathered and bumpy. It is no longer possible to see what they looked like when they were intact in the past.
You can feel the grandeur of the time through the overall appearance of the arena building.
For unknown reasons, the surrounding stands and the walls at the top of the stands were all covered with cracks of various sizes. Some places simply collapsed. A large amount of black mist surged in these cracks and damaged areas, squeezing inward, as if trying to
It invaded the interior of the arena from these damaged places and swallowed up the entire arena.
Although the entire arena gives people a feeling that it will collapse at any time, the battle venue of the arena still remains relatively intact.
Except for the two stone pillars that were 20 meters high and about two meters in diameter erected in the center of the battle field and the two huge metal balls with patterns printed on the top of the stone pillars, they were particularly eye-catching.
In addition, the red sand covering the entire arena is also very special, because judging from the strong smell of blood here, the red color of the sand is not dye, but real blood.
While Leo was calmly observing the surrounding situation, he was also looking for the whereabouts of others. However, what was strange was that except for High Priest Deni, who was standing at the edge of the stand not far away, no one else was anywhere.
"Is it because of psychic powers?" Seeing this situation, Leo quickly thought that he and High Priest Deni were both people with psychic powers. This may be related to the fact that only the two of them would appear in this arena.
Leo felt that High Priest Deni might know the specific situation here, so he walked towards him, and while walking over, he also quickly checked his status and found that there was nothing abnormal, and his psychic skills could also be used freely.
.
The only problem is that when looking at the data records of the assistant brain system, the process when he got here was blank, as if his assistant brain stopped working at that moment, which was something that had never happened before.
"High Priest Deni, do you know where this place is?" Leo asked directly as he walked to High Priest Deni.
The high priest Deni, who always wore a hood, was silent for a moment and said: "This is probably what the Nilgaard people call Gulabata, which translated in current language means an arena to please the gods."
"To please the gods? That means there are gods watching us now!" Leo said with a relaxed smile.
The reason why he acted so relaxed now was because he did not feel any nervous sight from the black fog surrounding the arena, just like the sight outside the black forest.
High Priest Deni raised his hand and pointed at the two metal balls that were almost as tall as a person on the high platform of the arena and said: "I don't know if there are gods around us looking at us, but I know they should be looking at us now."
Leo asked: "What are they?"
"The guardians of the altar of gods I mentioned before." High Priest Deni narrated: "According to the ancient records we have translated, before the Nilgardians want to meet their patron saint, they need to go through the patron saint first.
The guardian test, only the truly powerful are qualified to meet the gods."
"It turns out they are the guards of the altar of gods." Leo showed a sudden realization, and at the same time he probed the two metal balls with his mental net. Unfortunately, the high-energy force field attached to the metal balls blocked his mental net.
Outside.
Leo just touched the two metal balls and stopped without forcing them. Then he asked High Priest Deni: "Why are there only two of us here? Where are the others?"
High Priest Deni responded: "We don't need everyone to come over, we just need to pick the two strongest people among us, so they should still be in the cave."
"It seems that if we want to leave here and continue to go behind the bronze door, we need to kill these two metal balls, right?"
"According to the records in ancient books, it is like this." High Priest Deni nodded and said.
"In that case, let's start!" Leo was very excited at the moment, and the look in his eyes was full of fighting spirit, and said: "You come first, or should I come first?"
High Priest Deni took a step back and said, "You should go first! I still need some time to accumulate strength."
"Okay, let me do it first!" Leo didn't put these two so-called divine guards in his eyes at all. He acted very relaxedly and jumped down from the stands as if on an outing, stepping on the bloody smell.
On the sandy ground, he stepped under the stone pillar in the center of the arena, looked up at the unresponsive metal ball on the top of the stone pillar, and couldn't help but ask High Priest Deni loudly: "How to wake this guy up?"
"Spread your blood on one of the stone pillars." High Priest Deni said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Leo took off the battle ax from his waist, cut his palm directly, picked a stone pillar, wiped the blood on it, and then retreated a distance.
I saw that the stone pillar absorbed Leo's blood into the pillar like a sponge, and then blood streaks similar to those on the previous stone platform appeared on the stone pillar, spread upward, and injected into the metal ball.
"Click!" Following several sounds like the release of a mechanism's latch device, a metal ball vibrated, then rolled down directly from the stone pillar. When it was about to hit the ground, it spread out in all directions.
It turned into a wolf-headed monster whose lower body was composed of four crab claws and whose upper body was a human body holding a sword.
After the monster landed, the wolf head with a strange symbol on its forehead turned to Leo, and roared loudly at Leo, constantly exerting its violent energy on the enemy not far away, trying to kill him before the official battle began.
Break down Leo's defenses, just like he did in every fight in the past.
However, this psychic construct obviously believed too much in its past experiences, and it had never encountered someone who was completely born to fight like Leo.
While the metal monster was still roaring at him, Leo had already taken off the fully loaded flintlock hand cannon from his back and shot the monster in the head without hesitation.
The distance between the two was not very far. When the huge gunshots reached the ears of High Priest Deni at the edge of the field, the steel ball bullets had already hit the wolf's head of the psychic construct that did not understand what was going on. In an instant,
Its metal wolf head was dented by the blast, and its entire body was staggered and retreated.
Then, Leo fired four shots in a row without any hesitation, aiming at the head of the psychic construct. In the end, it only took less than five seconds to hit the entire head of the construct into pieces.
.
A psychic construct that has lost its head is like a robot that has lost its control center. Even though the body still possesses the psychic energy that can drive it to fight, it is completely paralyzed, lying on the ground twitching like an epileptic patient.
"What a stupid design!" Leo took out the ammunition of the flintlock hand cannon from his belt and reloaded it while looking at this psychic construct with great disdain.
Although he didn't know whether the person who designed and manufactured this psychic construct was a god, he was certain that the maker was definitely a fool.
Because in the Earth Federation, even the most ordinary robot enthusiasts would not put the robot control center they designed in such a conspicuous position, and would even leave an eye-catching logo on it for fear that others would not know.
When the psychic construct released the force field protection just now, Leo's mental network had already captured the psychic fluctuations in the head of the construct, and instantly analyzed that this psychic fluctuation was the control signal, thus making
Leo targeted this weakness and solved it very easily.
After reloading the ammunition, Leo hung the flintlock hand cannon on his back, walked to the construct that was still twitching, grabbed the two long swords used by the construct, and pulled the construct with force.
The breastplate of the body was split open, revealing a psychic device inside that resembled a wizard's rarity.
He then tugged on the device and found that it was very inlaid, so he took the long sword in his hand and struck it several times, cutting off the entire device and part of the surrounding metal, and then took it off. At this moment
This psychic construct completely lost its power.
