Chapter 311: A Strange Island

"A small village that believes in corpse collectors, but fears corpse collectors?" Leo closed the canon in his hand, and quickly organized the collected materials in his mind.

It is clear that this village belonged to the indigenous tribes of the Moissanite continent, and judging by the decay of the houses in the village, this village should have been built at least 200 years ago, that is, during the Great Voyage.

During the Age of Discovery, more than half of the ships in the Starfall Sea between the three continents were slave ships.

The early transportation of indigenous slaves in Moissanite were some strong young men, they were mainly used as low-class labor, but with the increasing demand for slaves in Moissanism, slaves engaged in different industries also came into being, and even slave traders specially trained these slaves and then sold them at a high price, so in the late Age of Discovery, most of the slaves transported on the sea slave ships were well educated.

It is likely that the people who built this village were a shipwreck of such high-ranking slaves, who were shipwrecked and eventually drifted to the island and survived.

As for the belief of the corpse collectors, it is definitely not from the Moisan continent, because if there is really a belief in the gods with complete church texts, with the ability and power of the Orthodox Church and religious scholars from various countries, it is impossible not to know the existence of this church, so the belief in the corpse collectors in the village should have appeared after coming to this island.

In addition, judging from the texts in Leo's hands, the people of this village are more afraid of the belief in the corpse collectors, and have little respect, and the fact that the corpse collectors cannot get close to the island is deliberately written on the cover of the canon, which shows that the belief of the corpse collectors in the village is a belief that is forced to be made for some unknown reason.

The final question is, where do the people from these villages go?

Judging from the traces of the remaining villages, there was no fighting when the people in the village left, and everyone left voluntarily, even suddenly, because some of the houses still had dining utensils in them, although the food inside had long since completely decayed, but the remaining tableware form could still let Leo know that these people were probably still eating when they left.

Although what happened in this village always revealed a hint of weirdness, Leo did not continue to investigate, he picked up the corpse collector's canon and prepared to put it in the storage space, and then read it slowly when he had time later.

To his surprise, a force poured out of the Corpse Collector's Dictionary that seemed to be resisting his psionic energy, so that his psionic skill of storing items into the storage space failed, and the Corpse Collector's Dictionary was still intact in his hands.

This result really surprised Leo, because he had carefully examined the bark book when he had just read the canon, and he could also be sure that it was an ordinary bark book, and there were no abnormal power fluctuations in it.

But just now, this bark book was resisting entering the storage space, making his witchcraft invalid, which he didn't expect beforehand, and what puzzled him even more was that he didn't know where the power gushing out of the corpse collector's canon came from beginning to end, even if he could indeed feel this power and capture this power, but when the power disappeared, it disappeared completely, without any power fluctuations.

Leo tried a few more times, and the results were the same, the books resisted entering the storage space.

This strange situation made Leo feel that this bark book was not simple, and that it contained a power that he could not perceive, and it was also an uncontrollable power, and the best response was to throw the book away and stay away from it.

After making a decision, Leo was about to throw the book in his hand back into the ruined village, but before the tossing was completed, he stopped, put the corpse collector's canon in his hand in front of his eyes again, and looked at the bark book with a serious expression.

"It's really a strange power, it was unconsciously affected by the mind and thoughts, and all the defenses in the body were not noticed, if it wasn't strong enough to feel that something was wrong, I'm afraid it would have been as you wished!" Looking at the canon in his hand, Leo smiled contemptuously and narrated it, looking like he was talking to himself as if he was talking to the canon.

Just as he was about to throw the book out, Leo felt that his mentality was very wrong, and according to common sense, even if the book was weird, he would not throw it away, and he looked like he couldn't avoid it.

What's more, this book probably hides the answers to questions such as why the corpse collector appeared in the world of Velon, and whether this island is the world of Velon, and he can't give up this book so easily anyway, especially before he is sure whether this book is really dangerous.

Therefore, when he was alert, the thought of throwing away the books and staying away from here in his mind felt very strange no matter how you look at it, and it was obvious that this thought did not come from him personally, but was the product of external forces.

It's just that, just like just now, even if Leo knew that this thing was weird, he couldn't figure out what the weirdness was.

Leo then tried to destroy the book, such as tearing off a page of the paper, or burning it with fire, but the result was the same, no matter how much he tried to cast a spell or force, he could not damage the book in the slightest.

After repeated attempts to find out the mystery of the book, Leo had to put the book in his coat pocket for the time being, and then searched the rest of the island to see if anything else was found.

Afterwards, Leo travels to the ruins of other basic settlements found in the jungle by the Spirit Net.

The ruins were in the same condition as the original settlement, all of them left suddenly, without any signs of fighting, and all the villages had a temple, and the temple had a canon at the bottom of the statue, but these canons were all aimed at different gods, and all of them were gods that Leo didn't know, such as the Daughter of the Starry Sky, the stupid Yada, etc., all of them were names of gods that had never been heard of.

However, judging from the canons of these gods, although the religious rituals of these gods are different, in all the canons, the matter of advent is mentioned, according to the canon, as long as they get some kind of opportunity, they can come to this world, and what that opportunity is, it is not mentioned in the canon, only a place called Yam.

After exploring all the abandoned jungle villages that could be found in the spirit net, Leo already had seven church texts in his hands, corresponding to seven different gods, and all of them could not be destroyed without exception.

However, unlike the corpse collector's canon, the other six canons of the gods did not have any effect on him after they were held in his hands, such as influencing his thoughts and making him throw away the canon, and these canons could not be stored in the storage space.

Leo frowned as he looked at the stacked canons of the gods in his hand, then took off his coat and made a suggested backpack, put all the canons together, carried them behind his back, and moved towards the other side of the island.

Leo did not pass directly through the jungle of the island, nor did he intend to climb the volcano, but walked around the island along the edge of the beach.

Along the way, he saw a large number of shipwrecks, many of which were famous ships in the history of the world of Velon.

For example, the first dreadnought ship of the Kingdom of Sigmar, the Saint-Franco, disappeared after two years of service while transporting treasure from Moissanite to the Kingdom of Sigmar. Some speculate that the ship was doomed because of the cursed items in the treasure, but more people believe that the captain and crew of the St. Franc had gotten their fortune and swallowed it up, and that they had been living incognito in other countries.

In addition, there is the world's first circum-sea exploration ship on the Velen continent. In the Age of Discovery, any adventurous person tried to sail farther afield, and the first to do so was the End of the World.

The ship was the largest at the time, loaded with everything needed for half a year for a crew of fifty, as well as a specially developed distillation device for the Sigma Academy of Sciences, which could directly turn seawater into drinking water. When everything was ready, the ship set off from the port of Lyon towards the endless sea to the west, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight, never to be heard from again.

After discovering the end of the world, Leo also stopped for a while, and went up to the wreckage of the ship to search to see if he could find any information related to the adventure back then, but in the end he did not find anything useful such as the captain's diary, and could only judge from some traces of the ship that the ship was attacked by a huge creature, and the keel was broken, and finally sank.

This also led Leo to speculate about the huge creatures that attacked the ship, as the material used to craft the ship's keel was from a species of the World Tree in the Black Forest, which was far harder than steel.

Leo had done experiments, and even after so many years of corrosion, he couldn't cause any damage to this keel, and in terms of hardness alone, it was enough to be comparable to the materials used by the Earth Federation's space warships.

But such a keel that was so strong that it was indestructible was broken by the action of external forces, and judging from the traces, the huge creature only used a single attack.

Extrapolating from this, the power of that huge creature is probably almost equivalent to that of a ninth-level psionic, because in the Earth Federation, only the power of a ninth-level psionic can tear apart the outer protective armor of a space battleship.

Although the keel of this ship still contains great power, and the keel itself is strong enough to be used as a material for making wizards' strange things, it is a pity that the keel is too big to fit in the storage space, so he can only use the twin sacrificial knives to cut the small piece of the keel with the strongest power fluctuation and put it into the storage space.

Later, although Leo still found many famous ships on the beach or on the bottom of the sea, and some of the wrecks still had some psionic artifacts with obvious psionic fluctuations, he felt that if he rashly entered the sea, he was afraid that he would encounter unknown dangers, so he only marked the locations of those wrecks he was interested in in his heart, and waited for the opportunity to go over to explore and hunt for treasures.

In the afternoon, Leo rounded a protruding promontory and entered the other half of the island.

In fact, before entering this side of the realm, Leo felt some abnormalities, the most obvious place was that after his spiritual network extended to the island on this side, it was suppressed by the abnormal energy that permeated the heavens and the earth, and the scope and intensity of exploration quickly weakened, becoming similar to when the spiritual energy was just activated.

This suppressed situation became even more intense after he entered this half of the island. Not only was the exploration range of the spiritual network suppressed to within ten meters, but even the spiritual energy on the body was completely suppressed, as if this half of the island was filled with an invisible force field that repelled spiritual energy.

It is for this reason that the psionic creatures that can be found everywhere on the other half of the island are extinct here, and there is not a single shipwreck on the beach, compared to the other island, it is completely two worlds.

Leo moved his hands and feet, then tried his hand at witchcraft, and then tried to take off the ring and perform witchcraft.

Soon he discovered that the so-called psionic suppression was just an illusion, in fact, the psionic energy in his body was not suppressed, but after his psionic energy was released, it would be rapidly weakened by some invisible force in the surrounding heaven and earth, creating the illusion of weakened psionic energy.

The most obvious evidence is that all the witchcraft that needs to be released has been greatly weakened, and even dissipated just after it is released, creating the illusion that the witchcraft is ineffective, but all the witchcraft and psionic skills that do not need to be released, but strengthen their own power, will not have any abnormalities, such as spiritual vision.

In addition, he also found that after he took off the confinement ring and let the psionic energy reach its strongest state, the witchcraft released would not be more powerful than the witchcraft released by him with the confinement ring, and the power change between the two can be said to be minimal, so the restriction of the surrounding heaven and earth on the psionic energy should also be a constant equivalence.

Leo carefully examined his body and found that there were no other abnormalities on his body except for the limited spiritual energy, and the original power of the physical body could still be used intact, which was good news for him.

After adjusting to his surroundings, Leo continued to walk along the beach, but because he had lost the exploration skill of the spirit web, he had to rely on his vision-blessed eyes to see his surroundings and find useful information.

After walking about two kilometers along the beach, Leo's eyes soon noticed something interesting, and he saw that in a low-lying area washed by the tide near the beach, some nets were arranged as traps in the low-lying area, and whenever the tide washed the fish into the low-lying area, these nets would entangle the fish and prevent them from getting out.

The reason for Leo's concern was that the net-like traps had been laid recently, and it was evident from the stones that held the nets and the marks left on the sand around the depression that they had been laid recently.
