Chapter 306: The Stranded Jackdaw

"Land!" After three days of drifting at sea, Leo's tense spirit gradually relaxed, and he quickly rowed the lifeboat and leaned towards the land.

Because of the abundant food supply and the spiritual sensitivity of the spirit net, he was always able to avoid the storm in advance, and Leo did not encounter any survival difficulties during the three days of drifting.

However, what really made Leo nervous was that he had always felt as if he was being watched by something after he had fled from the ship, but no matter what method he used, he could not find such useful clues, the only thing that was certain was that the attention came from the depths of the ocean.

It is precisely because of this strange feeling that Leo has to wake up his spirit at all times, so that he is always in a state of vigilance, and this state of vigilance lasts for a long time, even if Leo's body can hold it, his spirit will be a little unbearable.

The land that suddenly appeared under the perception of the spirit network was tantamount to a safe haven for him to rest for a while, and whether there was danger on the land was not in his consideration for the time being.

As the lifeboat gets closer and closer to the land, the whole picture of the land is gradually included in Leo's spiritual network.

This land is a volcanic island, about the size of the port of Venaya, and the island is overgrown with plants, and it seems that the volcano has not erupted for a long time. However, Leo's spiritual network could feel that there were scorching energy streams gathering in the crater, and it seemed that the volcano was still in an active period, and it was uncertain when it would erupt again.

However, it wasn't the volcanoes that were still active that caught Leo's attention, but the wrecks of the ships on the island's shore.

If there were only one or two wrecks of these ships, he would not pay too much attention to them, but the problem is that there are hundreds of wrecks around the beach that are exposed on the surface of the sea, and this is not counting the wrecks that are sunk on the bottom of the sea, only a little mast shows the sponge, if you count the wrecks, the number is probably more than three or four hundred.

Leo didn't know a lot about ships, but he was able to tell from the marks on them that they weren't of the same era.

Among these ships from different eras, Leo saw a number of ducked boats, known as the Initiators of Navigation, which appeared at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, four hundred years ago, and were the standard ships of the time, but were soon replaced by larger, faster dhows, which existed for less than fifty years.

In addition, among these ships, there is also the most famous invincible ship of the Sigmar Kingdom, which was the largest ship in the world at that time, and even now, it is definitely among the top five in terms of size alone.

At that time, the Kingdom of Sigma relied on this super ship to cross the seas and become the world's first maritime overlord, transporting all kinds of wealth and slaves from Moissanite to all parts of the world.

However, the Kingdom of Sigma was too obsessed with such giant ships, and their centuries-old dominance at sea made them not have the slightest idea of improving such ships, and finally the Kingdom of Inge found a flaw and created a faster and easier to turn three-masted shuttle sailing ship, and finally sent this giant ship that had dominated the sea for a hundred years out of the stage of history.

As the shuttle sailing ship that defeated the invincible ship, it naturally appeared in the remains on the beach, and there were a lot of them, roughly calculated, at least more than forty shuttle sailing ships of different modifications, and what surprised Leo even more was that he saw the flag of the pirate Earl Drake on the flagpole of one of the three-masted shuttle galleons, and this flag was not an ordinary fleet flag, but a flag that only belonged to the flagship, that is to say, the wreckage of the stranded ship was once the flagship of the pirate Earl Drake.

"Jackdaw!" Leo focused on the wreckage of the ship, and soon he judged from the special psionic bow statue at the bow of the ship that it was Drake's first vehicle, the Jackdaw.

As the most famous legend in the world, there are countless legends and books about the pirate Count Drake, and there are constantly new books and plays appearing, and among all the legendary stories, the story about the Jackdaw is the most, many people believe that the Jackdaw made Count Drake, and the Jackdaw is also a gift from the sea god to Count Drake.

According to those stories, the Jackdaw was a ship with magical powers, not only did it have the speed of the sea breeze, but it could easily navigate through storms with no danger of capsizing, and most importantly, the Jackdaw had almost godlike power, capable of creating giant waves that overturned invincible ships, capable of emitting ice spikes like battering rams, and even able to freeze seawater, crushing all ships with ice.

All in all, the Jackdaw was a true invincible ship at sea, and its highest record was that it had single-handedly sunk a Sigma raiding fleet of five invincible ships and fifteen combat galleons.

It is precisely because the Jackdaw is so famous that all kinds of research on the Jackdaw are extremely detailed, from the materials used in the ship, to the fabric of the sails, to the source of the magical power of the Jackdaw, and so on, all the details have been thoroughly studied by various Jackdaw fans over the years, and some people have even published a special analysis book for it, so Leo was able to identify the origin of the ship from the bow image of this broken ship so quickly.

The final fate of the Jackdaw has always been hotly debated by Jackdaw fans, as no one knows where the Jackdaw ended up except for Drake himself.

The last time the Jackdaw was seen was in a naval battle between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Sigma, involving as many as 100 ships, and then disappeared on the way back to a port controlled by the Kingdom of England, and a month later Captain Drake was rescued at sea, and the Jackdaw and the rest of the crew were nowhere to be seen, and Captain Drake did not mention anything related to the Jackdaw, as if the Jackdaw never existed.

At that time and even now, some people suspect that Captain Drake encountered the legendary Poseidon in the month of his disappearance and was trapped in the Poseidon Palace, and Captain Drake returned the Jackdaw he got from Poseidon to Poseidon and sacrificed all the crew members to get the opportunity to return to the mortal world.

"Didn't expect the Jackdaw to be here?" Leo showed a strange look on his face after confirming that the ship was the Jackdaw, and smiled to himself, "Could it be that this is the so-called Poseidon Palace?"

After saying that, Leo also felt that his guess was a little uncertain, smiled, put the idea behind him, and rowed the boat vigorously towards the beach where the Jackdaw was.

Soon Leo's lifeboat arrived in the waters near the beach, which was filled with the remains of various shipwrecks, and the clear waters made it easy to see what was going on in the sea.

However, at this moment, Leo suddenly stopped rowing, and put his head out of the lifeboat, activated his psionic skills, and looked at the bottom of the sea below.

The reason why Leo suddenly made these actions was because just now he had been opening his spiritual net outwards and found that there seemed to be abnormal movement on the bottom of the sea, this abnormal movement was the unnatural vibration of the water waves, producing a circle of artificially created water lines, and his spiritual net did not feel any living creatures swimming in the water, so he directly blessed his eyes with his spiritual vision skills and used his eyes to see.

When he looked at the bottom of the sea, the sight projected in his eyes made him suspicious, only to see that the originally empty sea world now had a few more sea fish that emitted spiritual energy fluctuations, each of these sea fish was transparent and integrated with the seawater.

Leo's spiritual vision can clearly see that the seawater directly penetrates and passes through the body of the fish, and these fish are as if they are transformed by the seawater, without any rejection, and because of this, Leo's spiritual network has not been able to discover the existence of these spiritual fish, because under his spiritual network scanning, these fish are no different from the surrounding seawater, and they are naturally ignored.

The fluctuations caused by the lifeboat paddling across the water naturally also alarmed these strange psionic creatures in the water, and they were originally quiet and peaceful, and they instantly turned into violent beasts, and rushed towards the lifeboat where Leo was, and the fish's mouth opened wide like a snake's mouth, revealing a circle of sharp teeth inside, revealing their fierce true appearance.

In the face of the attack of these psionic creatures, Leo did not show panic, but directly placed the hand that made the magic seal gesture into the water, and cast an Alpha magic seal, forming a shock wave that spread in the water.

Although these strange fish are psychic creatures, they still can't get rid of some of the weaknesses of the fish, and when the impact appears, all the fish that were fierce and abnormal just now writhele as if they were drunk, and then float up with their stomachs facing the sky.

Leo originally wanted to salvage a monster that had floated up to see what its body structure was like, but the shockwave released by the Alpha Seal did not weaken and disappear as he wished, but expanded uncontrollably in the sea.

The surrounding boats, which were already completely decayed, were crushed by the shock wave, like paper, and the force of the shock wave hitting the bottom of the sea also formed a small tsunami, setting off a huge wave more than ten meters high, directly shooting Leo's lifeboat in the direction of the beach.

Although the accident came suddenly, Leo did not act panicked, and when the lifeboat was about to fall on the beach, he kicked hard and leaped out of the lifeboat, and when the lifeboat smashed the wreckage of the boat on the beach, he had landed firmly on the soft sand, unharmed.

Steady in shape, Leo continued to maintain his spiritual network and vision skills, carefully scanning everything on the island.

Since there are some psionic creatures in the offshore waters, it means that this island should be suitable for psionic creatures, which means that there must be other psionic creatures on this island that may be extinct in the outside world, just like the Black Forest.

Unlike his previous rough scans with the Psychic Web, he searched more closely, and soon he found something useful.

There are indeed many psionic creatures in the primeval forests of the island, and these psionic creatures are very special, because each psionic creature seems to have the same mimicry ability as those strange fish that can deceive the psychic net.

Although these psionic creatures on the island were all very peaceful and did not see any aggressive behavior, thinking of the sudden transformation of the strange fish just now, he felt that it was best to provoke them indecently before understanding these psionic creatures.

In addition to the psionic creatures, Leo also found an interesting thing, which was that there were traces of human habitation on the island, and five or six of these traces seemed to have been left over from the recent past, rather than by some survivor of ancient times.

Leo didn't know if the humans who left behind the humble hos were still alive on the island, but he was sure that the humans had been attacked by psionic creatures on the island, because the rudimentary hohos were full of signs of destruction.

Before learning about the specific situation on the island, Leo felt that it was not a good decision to rush into the island's forest, and it was already a little dark at this time, and it seemed that it would be dark soon, so he decided to find a place to shelter from the wind for the time being, stay for one night, and wait until dawn tomorrow to explore the island again.

Leo chose the Jackdaw as his temporary residence, not only because he was interested in the Jackdaw's bow when he was at sea, but also because the wreckage of the Jackdaw was still intact, and there might be some secrets related to Count Drake found inside.

Stepping in front of the Jackdaw, although Leo had already understood the size of the Jackdaw when he checked it with the spirit net at sea, but standing in front of the Jackdaw, he felt that the ship was really big, at least in the Velonon world at that time.

The deck of this ship is about 20 meters high, and the hull is more than 200 meters long, so the whole ship looks a little slender from a distance, but this body shape is very suitable for shuttling on the water.

Leo didn't pay much attention to the shape of the ship, he focused on the Jackdaw's bow like the Jackdaw's Lord Bottle.

The Lord of the Jackdaws is the traditional belief of the Northern Kingdom of Dyat on the Minsk continent, and the jackdaws are also endemic there, and every time before the arrival of winter, a large number of jackdaws will appear in the city, making a quacking cry to tell everyone that winter is coming, so the jackdaws also have another name for the winter messenger.

For a long time, the Lord of the Jackdaw was the main faith of the Northern Kingdom, but with the disappearance of the unique bird of the Jackdaw, the belief of the Lord of the Jackdaw gradually declined, and now there are not many people in the Northern Kingdom who know the Lord of the Jackdaw, and most of these people are religious scholars and folklorists.
