"They are testing weapons!" What Leo was thinking about was that people from the Life Society discovered one or several energy weapons from the universe in Skull Bay, and then found a relatively remote place to test them.
Leo was not surprised that devices of cosmic civilization could be found in Skull Bay, because it was right on the edge of the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars, and its geographical environment was similar to that of the Kingdom of Inge.
Based on the reasons for the formation of the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, it is inferred that the Sea of ​​Falling Stars was probably formed by a huge space falling object, and this falling object was most likely a mothership-class spacecraft, otherwise it would not have been possible to cause such terrain-changing damage.
The mothership-class spacecraft usually does not exist alone, and is surrounded by a varying number of sub-ships to protect it. Therefore, even if the mother-ship class spacecraft falls, some devices of the surrounding sub-ships may be preserved in the explosion, just like the British
The same devices as those found in the Kingdom of Ge.
Skull Bay is located on the edge of the Falling Star Sea. Although it is located further to the periphery, it is still within the central explosion effect range.
In fact, after the Kingdom of England gained control of this sea area, it also conducted a lot of exploration. The construction of a naval base in Skull Bay was not just for the purpose of controlling the sea area. But now it seems that the Kingdom of England has been doing this for so long.
work, but the final fruits of victory fell into the hands of others.
Leo saw the look on Old Beren's face at this time and couldn't help but think deeply, because Old Beren didn't show too much surprise at Leo's suggestion that the mountain collapse was caused by man-made things. On the contrary, it looked like it was man-made.
A very normal thing.
"Aren't you surprised?" Leo asked directly: "What methods did those people use to destroy the entire mountain? As far as I know, none of the weapons currently in the hands of Velen countries seems to be able to achieve such a natural disaster.
of destructive power.”
"Yes, it is true that weapons from various countries today cannot do it, but prehistoric..." Old Beren smiled and did not go on, but just said casually and covertly: "If you are exposed to these things more in the future, you won't be able to do it."
I'm surprised." He said, as if changing the subject, looking at the collapsing mountain in front of him, and said: "I didn't expect useful news to come so quickly. Even if I didn't discover the little secret of the Life Society later, this matter in front of me was just a matter of time.
It's enough, I think even the big shots in the Kingdom of England will no longer treat this matter casually."
Although Old Beren did not reveal anything, Leo could still feel from his words that Old Beren knew a lot about prehistoric civilization, that is, things related to cosmic civilization devices. However, his understanding of these things came from
I don't know where it is, maybe it's the United Kingdom of France, or maybe it's the Society of Lost Words.
But as he said, as countries begin to understand how to use various devices of those cosmic civilizations, especially how to use weapons, they will pay special attention to anything from prehistoric civilization and will never allow any underground organization to master it.
.So no matter how deeply the Life Society infiltrates the military and political parties in Skull Bay, they cannot avoid the blow from the Kingdom of England itself.
After recovering his strength, Old Beren looked at the surrounding environment carefully, then found a suitable observation location, led Leo to sneak there, and then waited there.
If he hadn't discovered the true fragrance of the mountain collapse, maybe Old Beren would have ventured into the valley and conducted surveillance close to the so-called secret base, but it was no longer necessary now. He had already found enough information to convince others.
information, so there is no need to take this risk again.
If Leo wasn't around, he might have turned around and left.
After arriving at that location, Old Belen found a place to sit on the wall and closed his eyes to relax. Leo did not just stay on this hidden platform, but looked at the height of the top of the mountain and calculated the height of the mountain.
Under the surprised sight of Old Belen, he quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, stepped quickly on the smooth ground covered with vines and moss, walked to the other side of the mountain top, and looked down at the similar-looking place in the valley.
The secret base of the castle.
Although he did not use the spiritual net, Leo still relied on his amazing spiritual vision to easily see that based on its shape and age, this castle was indeed built during the era of pirates.
But the slight difference is that the castle has undergone some renovations. The biggest renovation is the Qianping Square inside the castle. A large number of buildings around the square have been demolished to expand the area of ​​the square, and some equipment has been installed in the middle of the square.
Thirteen load-bearing columns with special functions were installed.
Now these improvements have been restored. For example, some old rubble and tiles have been added to the demolished buildings, which look like ruins that collapsed due to earthquakes. Moreover, some load-bearing columns in the middle of the square have also been added in line with the pirates of the time.
Aesthetic weird statue.
Most of the people who enter the secret base are treasure hunters. They may be able to recognize the value of a certain kind of jewelry, or they may be able to tell the quality of a certain antique, but asking them to search for this unusual clue in the ruins is obviously a bit difficult.
It's embarrassing for them.
After these people entered the secret base, they began to search carefully in small groups. Soon someone found some pirate-related items from a disguised collapsed house, and these items belonged to different pirate groups. Almost
It covers the entire five pirate kings, giving people the feeling that this secret base belongs to the five pirate kings.
In addition, someone found a large number of bones here. Those bones were all wearing slaves' clothes and some digging tools. People can't help but think that pirates brought a large number of slaves to dig something in this secret base.
These discoveries made these people become more and more excited, thinking that they had found some great clues, and began to search in small and five groups in this castle-like base, divided into areas. Naturally, some conflicts were inevitable.
As time went by, the sky gradually darkened. The treasure hunters also temporarily stopped their search operations and each set up a simple camp. It seemed that they were preparing to set up camp temporarily and continue searching after dawn tomorrow. After all, this secret base still exists
It's very big, and without enough light it's easy to miss some places.
"Did you feel anything was wrong?" Perhaps because he was a little bored down there, Old Beren also climbed to the top of the mountain at this time, and silently walked to Leo's side, panting slightly, and looked
Looking at the piles of bonfires in the valley, he asked.
This time, because of Old Beren's breathing, when Old Beren climbed to the top of the mountain, he had already heard the location of Old Beren, but when he discovered it, he also found that even if he could hear Old Beren's breathing,
But in his other perceptions, even in his mental network, this person did not exist. This situation was broken until he spoke.
"Don't you feel it?" Leo suppressed his curiosity, turned to look at Old Beren, and said.
"What do you feel?" Old Beren asked.
Leo pointed to the surroundings and said: "The sounds of insects and the movement of wild beasts, there is not a bird in the sky, not even flying insects."
After Leo reminded Xia, Old Beren also noticed it. He looked around, his face changed slightly, became a little serious, and said: "There is indeed something wrong, I shouldn't be so slow, such an obvious abnormal situation is
Didn't notice it."
Hearing what Old Beren said, Leo also frowned. At the same time, he used his mental network to check his body carefully, and soon discovered the reason.
Leo said: "The blood flow rate in our body is much slower than usual, and there are some other components in the blood."
Although Old Beren didn't understand what Leo said, he also knew that something might have happened to his body, so he hurriedly said: "How could this happen?"
"It should have something to do with them." Leo turned his head and looked at the common vines coiled on the mountain walls on the ground around him, and said.
Old Beren turned his head and looked at the vines, and quickly understood what Leo meant. He had encountered a similar situation in the Moissan continent in the past. There was a garden composed of beautiful flowers in the dense Cong Zero.
At that time, some of them couldn't help being curious and entered the garden. As a result, after entering, they became stupid and couldn't wake up no matter how they screamed. They walked to the center of the garden as if they were sleepwalking, and then cut their own throats with the sharp weapons they had.
Use Xianxue to water the flowers.
That scene from that year still remains deeply in Old Beren's memory. Now he encountered such a plant again. Although this plant was not as effective as the original flower, he still felt inexplicable fear in his heart.
Leo spoke out his analysis just now and said: "The leaves of this plant will emit a kind of gas. This kind of gas is not very harmful to people. It will only make people's senses slightly weakened and make them feel drowsy. If
If used properly, this leaf can definitely help those who suffer from insomnia to fall asleep easily. For this effect alone, its value is extraordinary."
"In this way, this plant is quite good." Old Beren reached out and touched a leaf, then picked it off, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and said: "It is not intentionally targeting us.
?"
"Yes, it is not intentionally targeting us, but the person who made it is unknown." Leo shook his head and said: "This kind of vine is called fish skin vine, and it is famous for its fish skin on the surface.
It can be said that it is the most widely distributed vine in the world. It is not only found here, but also in the French Empire. But the problem is that no matter what kind of fish skin vine it is, there is no fish like this.
The skin vine can produce this kind of sleeping gas through its leaves, which means that this fish skin vine is artificially produced."
"Made by man?" Old Beren quickly found a target and said: "It's the Life Society."
"Maybe?" Leo was not completely sure, because it involves genetic modification, which is far beyond what ordinary forces can modify, but since even magical products like Ability God Cells can be produced, then the change
Generating a plant's genes is not a difficult task. After all, in the world of Velen, science is far from the strongest force.
After understanding that the gas emitted by the vines caused physical abnormalities, Old Belen immediately took out a pair of nasal plugs from his pocket, stuffed them into his nose, and then inhaled hard. Perhaps he felt the effect of the nasal congestion.
A smile appeared on his face. Then he turned to Leo and asked, "What are you going to do now? How are you going to solve this problem?"
"It doesn't matter, this thing is of no use to me." In fact, after discovering the situation, Leo had already used his spiritual energy to create a filter area around his mouth to isolate all harmful gases in the surrounding air.
After solving the gas, the two people also shifted their attention to the valley.
Compared with the vines on the top of the mountain, there are more such vines in the valley. There are many such vines not only on the ground, but also in the castle. It is obvious that these vines also have an effect on the treasure hunters who enter the valley.
They had just lit a bonfire and hadn't eaten yet. They were all so sleepy that they found a place to sleep. Even common-sense things like arranging night watchmen were not arranged.
Watching these treasure hunters falling asleep quickly through the monocular in his hand, Old Belen on the mountain seemed to be gloating about their misfortune and said: "I'm afraid these guys are dying. If something happens, do you want to save them?"
"You can save him." Leo looked at Old Beren and said.
"What about you?" After Old Beren asked, he immediately felt that he had asked a stupid question, shook his head and said: "Forget it, there is no need to answer."
Time passed little by little, and the valley was very peaceful, so peaceful that it made people feel eerie. On the top of the mountain, Leo lay quietly on the ground, as if asleep, and old Belen put on a pair of glasses like diving goggles.
, nervously monitoring the movements in the valley with the telescope in his hand.
Around midnight, Leo suddenly stood up from the ground. Old Beren, who was always vigilant, was also startled. When he was about to ask Leo what was going on, Leo made a move to keep him quiet.
gesture, and then pointed to the valley.
Old Beren looked towards the valley, but he didn't see anything unusual. Just when he was about to make a gesture to ask Leo what he wanted him to see, he suddenly saw the vines in the base castle in the distance suddenly looked like
The pythons twisted like pythons, intertwined with each other more and more, and became thicker and thicker. After a while, they turned into a towering tree.
And at the moment when the towering tree was formed, those treasure hunters who had been sleeping all seemed to wake up and stood up from the ground. However, they did not flee in panic due to the changes in front of them, but instead gathered together.
Under the towering tree, as if performing some kind of religious ceremony, he worshiped it and made strange shouts, as if he was reciting some name.
Just when the worship ceremony reached its climax, the big tree suddenly dropped several tentacles. These tentacles fell on the heads of those people like hands, and sent something like a seed into their heads.
in the skull.
