After picking up a wood carving, the child forgot that he was playing a game of hide and seek with his companion, and ran to his companion with the wood carving to show his companion the good things he had gotten.

After the child left, Leo picked up the metal ball in his hand again, and looked at the pattern on it carefully, although he still didn't know how the metal ball worked, but the child said that the real function of the metal ball was the map.

Now for Leo, the most important thing to understand is not how the metal ball works, but whether the map corresponding to the patterns on the surface of the metal ball is only in the Savile Kingdom, or whether it includes the entire Veron world, or even outside the Veron world. In addition, whether this map is just a rough view from a bird's-eye view can still be zoomed in.

However, when Leo wondered if the patterns on the surface of the metal ball could be enlarged, he found that the patterns began to expand silently, and it seemed to be centered on his position.

"Keep zooming in a bit. Seeing this, Leo concentrated on the metal ball, and once again gave the command with his mind, and the pattern on the surface of the metal ball continued to enlarge, until it was magnified to the point where the geography of the small Gus River bay could be clearly distinguished, and even the combined caravan that was encamping was revealed on the metal ball.

"Is it?" Leo had a clever heart, and immediately opened the curtain, came outside, and looked up at the sky, although the sun had come out and illuminated the sky, the bright moon hanging in the sky was still very eye-catching.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Leo looked down at the metal ball in his hand, he now understood why he had never been able to find out how this metal ball worked, energy fluctuations, why the pattern on the surface of this metal ball could show the map, because this metal ball was a surveyor issued by the Cosmic Council to the pioneers.

Leo didn't know how this surveyor worked, he just knew that when the Trailblazer spacecraft or fleet discovered a resource star, it would put a surveyor on that planet, and then the surveyor would automatically mark the resources and directions of that planet and transmit it to the database of the Space Council.

Because the environment of some planets is special, the power of the surveyor alone cannot make a complete survey of the planet, so it is necessary to send personnel to the ground to control the surveyor to conduct field surveys.

Under normal circumstances, a brain system will be specially installed on the flagship of the Pioneer to serve the surveyor, and this brain system will continuously receive the information transmitted by the surveyor, and feed back to guide the ground surveyors to conduct targeted surveys.

Obviously, Leo has such a surveyor in his hand, and the intelligent brain system corresponding to this surveyor is on the Wycombe Abbey brood battleship that has become the moon of the Velen world.

However, this is only Leo's speculation, and further testing is needed to know if this is a surveyor or not.

If it's a surveyor, then this will be of great effect to Leo, not to mention, if he goes to the wasteland in the future, he won't have to worry about getting lost, and the fog at sea is no longer a problem under the effect of the surveyor, but this does not mean that he can leave the sea full of fog, because the fog at sea may not be the most dangerous.

Back in the carriage, Leo tried to control the surveyor and explore more functions, but what disappointed him was that in addition to only zooming in and out of the map with him as the center, this thing didn't seem to be as easy to use as he thought, and zooming in and out of the map also had a range limit, roughly estimated, about within a radius of three hundred kilometers.

Leo was not discouraged, he felt that it was just because he had not mastered the proper use of this item, after all, it was rumored that this surveyor from the Supreme Council of the Universe could completely survey a planet with just one piece.

While Leo was experimenting with the use of metal balls in his packer tent, the wood carving he had given to the tribal child in the combined caravan camp outside caused quite a stir.

The story is very simple, it is nothing more than that the child shows the wood carving in his hand to other children, which causes a child to be jealous and wants to snatch, and in the process of snatching, the child inadvertently touches the power in the wood carving and attacks the child who snatched. Although the child's anger and obsession with fighting are not very strong, so the power that is stimulated is not very strong, but if the target is a child, it can still cause great damage, so the people around at that time thought that the child who was attacked was dead.

Fortunately, the tribe's witch doctor was able to save the man quickly, and was surprised to learn that the injury was caused by another child, which naturally alarmed the upper echelons of the caravan.

Although it is now the industrial age, as a large and small tribe of the Savile Kingdom that still maintains a large number of ancient traditions, a strong warrior is still the most precious talent of the tribe, so the high-ranking people in the caravan regard the child as the seedling of a powerful warrior, and the tribe to which the child belongs is naturally overjoyed.

After that, because there was no fatality, the questioning of the child was just some routine, but in the process of inquiry, the senior management of the caravan found that the original estimate seemed to be wrong, this child was not a warrior with unlimited potential, and the wood carving in the child's hand was the root.

One of the caravan directors looked at the wooden carving in the child's hand and confirmed: "You said that you were angry, and then you felt something in this wooden carving burrowing into your body, and then you didn't know anything, and when you came to your senses, you saw little Bajie lying on the ground." ”

The child, who had long been frightened, nodded hurriedly.

With curiosity, the supervisor was about to reach out and pick up the wood carving in the child's hand to take a look, but before he could touch the wood carving, the elder of the child's tribe stopped in front of him, and said with a serious expression: "Hoves, this thing belongs to our tribe, are you going to break the rules and take it away like this?"

The tribal elders who could be assigned to this caravan by the various tribes were all shrewd people, and they could naturally tell that the wood carving was not an ordinary object, but probably something with magical powers.

Since those incidents some time ago, the tribes of the Savile Kingdom, large and small, have also begun to pay attention to the ancient legends, mysterious powers, and other things of their respective tribes.

It's a pity that the Maris Kingdom rose rapidly with industry, and then it was an all-round suppression of the Savile Kingdom for the next two hundred years, so that the Savile Kingdom also began to be dominated by industry, and some more radical tribes even simply thought that the ancient books that the tribe collected to record all kinds of strange things were some dregs that should be discarded, so in the industrial reform movement that affected the entire Savile Kingdom, many tribes burned the books inherited by their tribes.

The city-states in the west are next to the Kingdom of Mares, and they are naturally greatly affected by the industrial transformation of the Kingdom of Mares, so when the books were burned, almost all of these small tribes of the United Caravan did it.

Therefore, even if the tribes now refocus on occult powers, they are unable to do so because the books related to them have been burned.

However, now that an object with magical powers appeared in front of them, no one would allow people from other tribes to touch it, after all, who knows if there would be any other abnormal reaction to this item after people from other tribes touched it.

The director looked at his partner in displeasure and said, "Kesan, you're too serious, I just want to make sure if your little guy in your tribe is lying." ”

"No need, our tribe will confirm this matter by itself, and our tribe is also willing to pay compensation for the injured, so this matter will end like this!" The tribal elder did not give the others a chance to ask the child again, and directly summarized the matter, and then carried the child of his tribe and walked out of the tent.

When the other people in the tent saw that the protagonist had already left, there was naturally no need to stay any longer, so they got up and left, and when only the caravan supervisor was left, he bowed his head and ordered his subordinates on the side: "Send someone to keep an eye on the people of the Kesan tribe, and you must find out where that wood carving came from." ”

When Elder Quesang returned to his tribe's camp with the little one in his hand, he quickly inquired about the origin of the wood carvings, and also knew that there were several other wood carvings in Leo's hands.

At this moment, Elder Quesang thought in his heart that Leo must not know the value of these wood carvings, so he would give them to a child so casually, that is, if he did it well, he could buy the remaining wood carvings at a very low price, so that his tribe could have a batch of items containing mysterious powers.

Thinking of this, Elder Kesang couldn't wait to find Leo immediately and spend a lot of money to buy those wood carvings from Leo, but he also knew very well that people from other tribes must be staring at him, once he got close to the foreigner's cart, then I was afraid that the rest of the tribe would come up, let alone buy the wood carvings, I am afraid that the foreigner would also know the value of the wood carvings and would not sell them again.

As for the wood carving in the hands of the child now, it is naturally accepted into the tribe, and when he has the opportunity, he will slowly study the role of this wood carving, and the child is also closely protected to prevent the news from leaking.

For a while, the joint caravan, which was originally very united, had cracks inside because of this small wood carving, although on the surface they did not show any discordant behavior, but carefully from the layout of their respective camps, it could be seen that they were all wary of each other.

The packer driver hired by Leo was obviously also a man with a discerning eye, and when he brought food to Leo at noon, he told Leo about the atmosphere in the caravan that was wrong, and told Leo that it was better to keep his weapon by his side and beware of accidents.

After hearing the reminder, Leo directly used the spirit net to check the situation in the camp, and found that the cause of this internal tension was actually the wood carving he gave to the child.

Although this incident was somewhat surprising, it was not a good thing in Leo's eyes, because he could have sold these wood carvings to these tribes at a high price, so that he could accumulate some more funds on hand.

Therefore, he did not intend to do anything, but stayed quietly in the tent, waiting for the large and small tribes of the caravan to come to his door.

Soon a day's time passed, and the combined caravan did not change its plans because of the day's events, and continued to drive on the road according to the original plan.

It's just that compared to the day before, the speed of the caravan has slowed down a lot this night, and the caravan's guards have all their weapons in their hands, and from time to time send people to go forward or around to investigate the situation.

The reason for this tension is entirely due to the fact that the caravan has now truly entered the hinterland of the Lesser Guth Desert, which is also a frequent haunt of sand pirates.

This tense atmosphere of the caravan also directly affected the small group behind, and they all gathered together and followed closely, all of them were hurrying with their heads buried and no one spoke.

In the second half of the night, the caravan has already sailed through the core of the Little Guth Desert, if the current speed does not change, it should be able to reach Lake Bonana on the edge of the Little Guth Desert before dawn, which also means that the caravan is about to leave the Little Guth Desert and enter the Quincy Snow Mountain.

However, things were not always smooth sailing, and not long after the caravan had once again sent men to the front and around to reinsee the situation, a sharp whistle sounded through the desert from the left side of the convoy.

When the whistle sounded, the convoy immediately stopped, all the armed men took up their weapons, and the convoy director sent a few more people to check the situation, and soon several more whistles came, along with the previous ones.

"What did you find?" the director immediately led someone to meet him, and asked a few times.

"Someone is following us, and it looks like a sand thief," said one of them, "I wanted to catch a tongue, but he ran away." ”

"Do you know which group it is?" asked the caravan director in a deep voice.

"Look at the costume, it seems to be a man of owls. ”

"Hey, I'm in trouble. The caravan's face became unsightly, and the rest of the caravan had gloomy expressions, and then the caravan director immediately ordered the march to stop, and the caravan began to camp again, and for a short time the camp was made a defensive position.

The actions of the caravan also frightened the small group of people behind, and they also hurriedly stationed themselves near the caravan camp, but they also did not build a well-defended barracks, but chose to make a retaining wall with pack carts, and then put some goods on the pack beasts, apparently intending to abandon the barracks after encountering an irresistible attack, and each of them drove the pack beasts to scatter and escape, one by one.
