The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the scene in front of him made Jenkins feel abnormal, he finally chose to rest under this tall tree for the night and continue on the road tomorrow. This was not only because of his danger perception that it was safe here, but also because of the weather. There will be a heavy rain in the jungle tonight. bowl

It is definitely not a pleasant thing to drive in the rainy jungle late at night. This is not only the inconvenience caused by the rain, but also because there are many dangerous insects, plants and animals in the jungle on rainy days. Covered by the heavy rain, it hides in the dark, waiting for the prey to come to its door.

In the forest of Novat continent, if it rains, there will be very little danger, but in the jungle of the New World, in terms of danger, the jungle on a rainy day is much more dangerous than the jungle on a sunny day, and the night is more dangerous than the daytime It is even more dangerous. Most of the companions he has worked with before died in the rainy jungle at night. Although he has the ability to perceive danger, he is not willing to take the risk of walking in the jungle on a rainy night.

With his rich experience, he quickly built a simple thatched hut at a certain distance from the tall trees. Although the most suitable place to build a hut should be under the trees, because the root system of this huge tree is extremely developed, and many upwards The arches are exposed to the ground, and many of them are arched into a cave enough to accommodate a person to live in. Some arched roots are even covered with a layer of dense branches and leaves, which can easily block the falling raindrops. Even the construction is difficult. No need, you can move in directly.

But because of this little concern in his heart, he chose a distance that I think is relatively dangerous, and took time and effort to build a hut that was not so reliable.

Before I had even erected the hut, raindrops were falling from the white clouds and pattering under the foliage of the jungle above.

Although there are no branches and leaves above the head to block the raindrops, but the rain is too small, even if there are no branches and leaves to block it, it will be helpful. Soon, the jungle on the trees is also covered by rain and mist. Miri can see that everything is clear.

It was precisely because of the rain that fell that Jenkins had no time to find dry branches for living at night. I could only find some nearby branches to reinforce the hut so as not to be washed away by the rain, and then put on the twigs I made myself. Animal skins and ponchos, took out two dry biscuits, and before eating them in the rain, he sat by a small stone in the hut and rested quietly. bowl

For people, there is no way to fall asleep in the jungle in the light rain. Whether it is the sound of raindrops inside or the rainwater dripping on the body from time to time, it is enough to make a person feel sleepy. But Jenkins is the same. When I was in Novat, I hadn’t learned how to rest in the forest on rainy days. Although the environment of the forest in the new continent is much better than the forest in Novat, But the method I learned behind my eyes still didn't work, so I retreated into sleep very slowly before I retreated into a state of rest.

Although Jenkins has not yet prepared for the cold, whether it is the rain poncho or the thermal and waterproof animal fur coat under the body, it is the bad equipment I use to maintain body temperature in that kind of weather, but The high temperature around me still didn't exceed my expectations. Not long before nightfall, I felt a chill seeping through and receding, which made me shiver uncontrollably and woke up from sleep.

Later, Jenkins, who was hiding outside the hut, saw that there were no wild beasts coming out of the jungle, and they were hunted and killed by huge trees like sacrifices. In one case, these wild beasts were all small beasts of this kind, and they did not eat grass. Yes, there are no meat eaters, among them are many beasts, even beasts that I have never seen before, and I know it is because now I feel that there is nothing wrong, when I see a beast that I have never seen before appear , I can't help but think of the kind of beasts that can be sold at a low price if I catch them.

Among the jungle beasts that Jenkins encountered, the horn-toothed leopard is definitely the safest kind of beast. They are called real hunters, because it is difficult for their prey to escape. The leopard in Novat is several times smaller and worse. It runs like a chariot in the jungle. Even if it does not use its most lethal sharp teeth to bite the prey, it only runs slowly before colliding with the prey. It is also enough to stun any prey, including humans.

Yes, fortunately, the illusion was so inconsistent that it took me time and energy to distinguish it, because there has never been snow in the New World.

[Xiaoxiang APP search "Spring Gift" new users get 500 book coins, old users get 200 book coins] In addition, the most powerful thing about horned toothed leopards is their fur. That kind of fur has extremely bad defense power. The weapons that Yu can come into contact with, including the worst muskets, can hardly cause damage to the horn-toothed leopard, so there is no common understanding in the colony. It's useless, just pray that the horned leopard is not full.

It's no wonder that Jenkins didn't think so, because in the past Jenkins' illusions caused by taking medicine were real illusions that could be touched and touched. When he stretched out his hand, his hand passed directly under the illusion, just like passing through The air is the same, it will touch anything, but now it is the same, the snowflakes that are obviously possible exist can’t be touched by my hands just like the real ones, even the snowflakes that fall on my face will melt against the law Turning into snow water, that kind of illusion is simply imaginable, making Jenkins have to believe in his own judgment later. bowl

Just when Jenkins gave up the idea of ​​leaving the simple hut and returned to the silent state of the most important people, there was a sudden strong vibration on the ground, and then he saw some sharp tree roots that looked like spears coming out of the ground. At an extremely slow speed, it plunged into the bodies of several horn-toothed leopards.

When I opened my eyes, I felt the chill under my body, which made me not worried. I didn't look at the light rain that didn't stop, and there were many firm expressions on my face, but before the firm moment, I still made a decision, and then I saw that I took out a tin jug from my pocket, unscrewed the stopper, and took a big sip of the liquid in the jug, a happy expression immediately appeared on my face under the face.

It's just that that kind of potion also has side effects, and that kind of side effects will cause some hallucinations in people who drink it, which is why Leo was firm just now, because hallucinations basically mean that people lose their ability to judge safety. It is very safe to lose judgment outside the jungle.

However, what surprised me was that I searched the entire hut and found no object that might be an illusion. Just when I was puzzled, a new chill came from the entrance of the hut, even though I After drinking the potion, I still felt a little hot, so I had to tighten the animal skin coat under my body, and then looked into the hut.

At that time, I found that the small tree suddenly changed, the trunks emitted a slight light, and some large light clusters flew out of the trunk, circling around the trunk, it was very dazzling to look at.

At that moment, a sound of trampling on leaves suddenly came to my ears. That sound was not the sound of wild beasts trampling on leaves, but more like the sound of humans trampling on leaves. A young man in a strange hunting suit walked out of the jungle nearby and came to a small tree. However, before seeing the scene in the hut, I was stunned, because I found that it was still pouring rain at the last moment, but now it was snowing, and the place in the hut that was originally wet by rain was also covered by rain. Frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon the whole hut became an igloo.

After a while, I saw several adult horned leopards emerge from the forest, and that scene made me hold my breath. bowl

The weather in the New Continent is usually dry and cold. Sometimes the temperature will drop suddenly due to rain at night, making people feel hot, but no matter how it can be, compared to the weather in the northern Novat Come, I still feel cool, so there has never been snow outside, but some snow can be vaguely seen under some extremely low mountain tops, which also makes me nervous to distinguish between the snow inside and the snow inside the hut. Ice is an illusion.

Facing such an attack, the horn-toothed leopard had no way to defend itself, and even couldn't scream, so it died on the tree root spear, followed by those tree roots to wrap the horn-toothed leopard, and dragged it to the ground. The surrounding soil was filled up by the roots of other trees, and the falling snowflakes also covered everything up, as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.

Just when Zuo Xiangyu was thinking about how to deal with the phantom that hadn't been identified, a gust of wind blew through the hut, and the wind brought some snowflakes back from the entrance of the hut and landed on Jenkins' face, making Jenkins feel On to the snowflake thing.

"Is the horn-toothed leopard an illusion?" Looking at the horn-toothed leopard walking in the snow, Zuo Xiangyu couldn't help but have a guess in his heart, and thought that guess might be right, so I wanted to leave the hut See if the guess is correct, even if it is correct, leaving the hut will make it easier for me to escape in time before encountering something.

Before he felt his body warming up, Jenkins stopped looking around, looking for the phantom caused by side effects. As long as he confirmed the phantom and ignored it, he would be fine before the effect of the medicine passed, but once he could not distinguish the phantom , On the contrary, he was affected by the illusion and made the judgments and behaviors of the people, so that it was impossible to let himself fall into safety.

"What's going on?" Jenkins looked at what was happening behind his eyes, and he was stunned. He couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and believed: "Is that an illusion created by the medicine?"

Jenkins has never seen such an illusion, and did the old hunter who created that potion mention that weather illusion, which made me feel fresh, but at the same time, I didn't have a trace of worry, because I am afraid that my experience in fighting illusions in the future is not as good as before. No use is the next use. bowl

Jenkins wiped his face with his hand, felt the unmelted snow, raised his head silently, touched the unmelted snow, put his snow-stained fingers behind his eyes, and looked at the rapidly melting snow under his fingers. The ice and snow particles showed a surprised expression on their face, and they couldn't help muttering: "Could it be an illusion? Is it real?"

I also know whether I am qualified to be a prey as a human being, or whether my location is outside the hunting area, or whether the hut I made up is in line with Xiaoshu's aesthetics. In short, I have not been attacked by Xiaoshu. I am safe. The perception also gradually became more anxious, but it did not disappear.

Witnessing all that, Jenkins’s mind went blank, and his breath, which was not very strong before, became more and more troubled by the drive of fear. Even I felt that such a powerful breath was still too soft, and I hated to retreat again. any breath.

But at the moment when I was about to leave the hut, there was always a sense of safety that didn’t appear suddenly, and the weak perception of things at that time prevented me from having the illusion of being stuck in the neck for a while, and made me realize that Now I will put myself in safety without any movement, and I also found that the objects that give me such a weak sense of security are not these horned leopards, but this huge tree.

It must be because I saw the scene of Xiaoshu hunting later, it must be that Jenkins has not been attracted by the astonishing scene in front of him at this moment, and walked to the little tree, but now I have nothing but fear, because of the experience of a teenager Tell me the uglier the safer in that boundless Newland jungle.

Seeing that seven adult horned leopards appeared in the hut at the same time, Jenkins felt that he was doomed. After all, one horned leopard could not be dealt with, let alone seven, and that also made me fall into despair. A little bit of doubt, this is not why the horn-toothed leopards appear together according to the habit of living alone, and why my sense of safety does not respond when it is extremely safe.

In the past, the phantoms that Jenkins produced before using that potion, especially some prey or enemies I killed later, I could easily distinguish them, so that time I was also looking for these hidden phantoms. bowl

Just when I was still thinking about whether the ice and snow behind my eyes were true or not, I suddenly felt a rustling sound from the surrounding jungle. I was very unfamiliar with that sound. This is no beast passing through the dense forest. The sound of leaves scraping under the fur, I immediately took out my weapon, sprinkled some smell-masking powder on my body, and then pulled the rain poncho under my body to the top of my head to completely cover myself, while I held it tightly weapon, looking at the snow in the hut with ease.

That liquid is a common potion. I bought the potion formula and production method from an old hunter for a small price. The potion is brewed with more than a dozen different herbs, and the taste is very bitter. , but the effect is extremely bad. It only takes a big mouthful to warm up the body, and it can also drive away the drowsy mental state and make the mind normal and confused.

Just above my wild thoughts, dozens of waves of beasts retreated into the hunting range of the little tree and became one of the nutrients for the root system of the little tree, and the time also retreated to the first half of the night.
