The Mysterious World Under Steampunk - Chapter 1720

“It’s ugly!” Leo looked at the shaman totem scepter he had just completed, and couldn’t help but complain.

Although before making this shaman totem scepter, Leo designed it according to the shape of the cane, and the design was very perfect, neither the shape of the cane nor the shaman totem rune engraved on the cane had any flaws, But things got a little different when he picked out a suitable branch to make the cane.

First of all, when he cuts the material into the shape of a cane, the branches that are the material seem to have their own ideas. No matter how perfect the shape he cuts, the material will automatically change its shape when he stops, changing into another A completely different form.

Leo also tried to stop this change, but he found that even if he stopped it at the time, the change stopped, but once he took back his power, the change would happen again, and in the end he judged that it should be so thick with the surrounding. It is related to the force of nature, and the cane he designed does not conform to the law of the force of nature.

Although the shape of the cane he designed is very perfect, the perfection is only relative to his aesthetics and understanding of his own strength, not the perfection in a natural state, so the material of the cane will not interfere with him. With the action of the surrounding natural force, it automatically changes its form until it conforms to the law of the natural force.

In this regard, Leo has nothing to do. He can only try to cut the material in a small area and gradually make the material as close to the shape of the cane as possible under the action of the force of nature.

After trying several times and spending a lot of materials, he finally made a few canes that fit the style, and then he needed to carve totem runes on the canes.

All the totem runes are runes belonging to shamans created by Leo after studying the primitive shaman totems and adding his own rune system. Before he came to the sea of ​​​​trees, he had tested these totems Runes, the effect is not bad, but compared to Leo’s sorcery rune system, the power of runes is obviously not a star and a half, so in that world he never thought about using this totem rune to make something.

But now the world of the sea of ​​trees is different. The strong power of nature around it undoubtedly provides these shaman totem runes with advantages that other extraordinary powers cannot match. Even psionic energy and sorcery have to take a back seat here. Shaman The totem rune has obviously become the absolute main force.

The rune that Leo intends to use to make the shaman totem cane is the totem rune that mainly controls living creatures, because after repeated analysis, he feels that in this world of trees dominated by plants, he can control plants, animals, The totem runes of insects and other creatures are obviously more suitable for this special environment than those totem runes that mainly control energy elements.

And another point is that after the totem rune that mainly controls the creatures is made into a totem cane, it does not mean that the cane cannot use the shamanic spells that control energy elements. The extra support you get in a cane won’t be much, maybe not, and conversely, if the totem runes on the totem cane are runes that manipulate elemental energy, then the totem cane will have a hard time casting those creature-controlling salamanders. Full of spells, because elemental energy will affect the stability system of casting such shaman spells, and the most important thing to control creatures is stability.

Engraving the totem runes on the cane was a very simple matter for Leo, and the whole process went smoothly. Even though the shape of the cane was quite different from what he expected, the way the runes were engraved And the layout has not changed too much, just a little adjustment of the connection problem can be easily solved.

On the contrary, after engraving the totem rune pattern, the shaman’s spiritual enlightenment ceremony had a very large abnormal reaction. A primitive shaman’s enlightenment ceremony recorded in the collection, the wizard who recorded this enlightenment ceremony felt that this enlightenment ceremony could be used in wizard spells, and wanted to improve it, but I don’t know why, maybe it was that The famous wizard died in the middle, or maybe the wizard felt that his ability was limited and gave up halfway. In short, the improvement method of the shaman enlightenment ceremony recorded in the book is only a beginning, and there is no follow-up.

Leo didn’t think about continuing to improve the shaman’s enlightenment ceremony, but just regarded this content as an accumulation of information. Now he chooses to use this primitive shaman’s enlightenment ceremony mainly because this enlightenment ceremony is primitive enough. The shaman enlightenment rituals known to Bileo are ancient, and they are the source of those enlightenment rituals.

Although this kind of enlightenment ceremony is very ancient, it does not mean that the effect of this kind of enlightenment ceremony is better than that of other derived enlightenment rituals. When things are spiritual, the effect produced is far beyond this primitive shamanic enlightenment ceremony. The only advantage of this primitive shamanic enlightenment ceremony is that it is stable enough, which is also the only reason Leo would choose this kind of enlightenment ceremony. reason.

In the enlightenment ceremony, Leo took out some items that were compatible with the totem runes on the totem cane, and also captured some giant insects and strange birds, all of which were used as the opening ceremony to the unknown. There are naturally sacrificed offerings.

As he expected, the primitive shaman enlightenment ceremony did not occur any abnormality during the process, and soon communicated with an unknown natural existence in this world, and successfully sacrificed those sacrifices to this world. The existence of the name has successfully obtained the feedback of the natural existence. Based on a part of his own spirituality that he has separated out, the natural spirituality of the shaman totem cane is stimulated.

At that time, Leo’s attention was attracted by the mysterious natural existence communicated in the ceremony, and all his energy was put on stripping and absorbing a trace of the power of this natural existence. Because of the isolation effect of the sacrificial ceremony, the He could not directly perceive some of the conditions of this natural existence, and he did not know how strong this natural existence was. He could only secretly strip a trace of power when the natural existence blessed the shaman totem cane. Absorbed into the stone throne, and borrowed the power of the stone throne to analyze the details of this power.

I don’t know if it’s because this trace of power itself is the core power, and it’s still in an undefended state, or because the analytical effect of the stone throne is too similar. In a word, before the ceremony is over, that mysterious natural power has already existed. It was parsed out, and a stone pillar was also generated on the stone pillar square.

It is also inappropriate to say that it is a stone pillar, because the shape and material of the stone pillar looks more like the trunk of some kind of big tree, except that the base is a stone.

At the moment when this pillar was formed, Leo also learned about the object of his sacrifice in the spiritual enlightenment ceremony. There is no doubt that the mysterious natural existence should be someone who has already evolved to the last step and completed the sublimation of his life form. A natural demigod, whose body is just like a pillar, should be some kind of divine tree. The reason why it is said to be a divine tree is that there is a little bit of power that is parsed by the stone throne. Only gods have it. At the moment, the natural demigod also possesses this kind of divinity. The only thing that can be explained is that the body of this natural demigod has divinity at the beginning, and is a divine creature, just like a white deer.

Leo only had a rough understanding of the information revealed in the power of this natural demigod, so as to confirm that there was no conflict between this natural demigod and himself, and it would not become a hostile relationship, at least not for the time being.

After Leo figured out the situation of the sacrifice objects of the spiritual enlightenment ceremony, Leo returned his attention to the spiritual enlightenment ceremony that was always in normal operation and was nearing the end, but what he did not expect was the spiritual enlightenment ceremony. Although there was no abnormality in the ceremony, it went smoothly from beginning to end, but there was a problem with the shaman totem cane as a spiritual enlightenment.

Just like when the cane was cut before, when the spiritual awakening ceremony gave the totem cane spirituality, the surrounding natural forces began to adjust the cane in line with the natural laws of the world. Finally, after the adjustment, the original shape of the totem was similar to the gentleman’s staff. The cane has now become a scepter that is a head taller than Leo. The material has also changed from a tree material to a metal-like material. In addition, there are dozens of twisted knots in the middle of the scepter that look like It is the ugly tree tumor of the eyeball, and two dark green and dark red gases are drilled out of these tree tumors, shuttled repeatedly in the totem runes on the surface of the scepter, and finally injected into the seven tree hole-shaped mouths at the top of the scepter. middle.

Different from the disgusting appearance of this totem scepter, the aura emanating from the scepter has no evil feeling in it at all. It is a very pure force of nature, and even if the scepter has been distorted, the totem on the scepter remains. The runes were not damaged in any way. According to common sense, the effect of the totem scepter should be the same as he imagined.

So after complaining that the scepter was ugly, Leo tried to use the scepter in his hand to use the shamanic insect summoning technique. The result was a bit unexpected. All the giant insects hidden in the surrounding forest All of them gathered, densely covering the entire forest, there are hundreds of thousands in a rough calculation, and various noises can be heard from the forest in the distance, it seems that there are other insects in the distance. Under the influence of shamanic magic, they gathered here.

Seeing this, Leo quickly selected a suitable giant insect from the surrounding giant insects, and used the totem scepter to imprint an insect repelling totem mark on the giant insect, and then cast the insect repellent technique to drive away These bugs were forcibly gathered by shamanic spells.

Just like the powerful effect of the insect summoning technique, after he performed the deworming technique, except for the giant insect that had been branded with the totem imprint, he used the spell to bind it in place and did not escape, all the other giant insects were like It was like encountering some kind of heaven and earth, and quickly escaped from Leo. The giant insects that were rushing in the distance also turned their directions and fled one after another. In a moment, the forest became extremely silent, and all the insects disappeared. gone.

Leo then released the effect of the deworming technique, then waved his cane, and cast a shamanic power towards the vines on the next big tree, and then saw the vines hanging on the big tree like a living creature. Like a giant python, it coiled down and came to the side of the giant insect, and then went around the giant insect that was fixed in place, weaving a fixed **** the insect’s body, and then weaving a comfortable vine on the insect’s back. The seat, the vines returned to their normal state.

Turning over and jumping on the back of the giant insect, Leo got into a seat that was not very comfortable. Leo followed to identify the direction, raised his hand and placed the scepter on the back of the insect beside the seat, and set his mind on it. The moving directions and instructions below were put into the totem mark on the giant worm.

The giant worm instantly understood Leo’s instructions, began to move its dozen pairs of feet, jumped, unfolded its huge worm wings in mid-air, vibrated its wings, suspended in the air, and flew in the direction set by Leo.

Because the insects were all dispersed, the giant insects did not encounter attacks from other giant insects when they moved to other areas in the forest, but this did not mean that Leo could walk through the forest safely, because in this forest It’s not just the swarms of insects that are aggressive here. Many plants and fungi in the forest also eat meat.

For example, there is a vine parasitic on a big tree. This vine is very similar in appearance to the vine that Leo had previously controlled to make a seat. When it hangs down, it mixes with other vines, and it does not look dangerous, but Once a living creature moves from its side, the vines will instantly burst into hundreds of small vines, wrapping the living creatures at a very fast speed. of a potent hypnotic gas that sprayed in the direction of the living creature.

When an ordinary giant insect encounters this kind of attack, it is basically impossible to escape, and once it is entangled by this kind of vine, it is very difficult to break free, because this kind of vine has the strength and toughness comparable to steel bars. In addition, the surface of the vine will emit a kind of corrosive mucus with anesthesia effect. After the giant worm the size of an elephant is wrapped, it will be completely corroded and digested by the vine in just a few minutes.

In addition to the vines, there is also a fungus creature that lives in the damp mulch under the tree. This creature feels that it has a certain wisdom. Usually, it hides in the mulch, and only allows a mushroom-like tentacle from the soil. Once a living thing enters its attack range, a large number of mushrooms will instantly emerge from the ground, covering the entire area, and the mushrooms will naturally crack and spew a large number of spores from it. Once the living thing is stained with spores It’s like being controlled, falling into a mushroom swarm, either being decomposed by the spores or becoming a culture of the spores.

The reason why Leo said that this kind of creature has a certain wisdom is because when Leo passed through the area covered by this fungus creature, he felt that there was a pure consciousness hidden in the ground, and when the spiritual network scanned it, However, he only found some fungus creatures, and the aura of power emanating from the spiritual net he used for scanning made these fungus creatures feel dangerous, so all the mushrooms on the ground were taken back by them, and they were completely removed. All traces of his existence were wiped from the ground, so as not to be discovered by Leo.
