Compared to the number of passengers on board when it arrived at Skull Bay, the number of people on board the Ice Queen had increased considerably, and most of the empty cabins on board had finally filled.

These new arrivals were not pre-existent, but improvised, and the reason for this was precisely because of the sinking of the Miracle Star.

As the most high-tech representative of the shipbuilding industry, the steel giant ship Miracle Star has carried countless people's expectations, and now the disillusionment of expectations has also caused an avalanche of people's confidence in steel ships.

Now, many visitors to Skull Bay have developed a distrust of steel steamboats, even if the vast majority of steam ships in Skull Bay are still mixed with wood and steel, which is unlikely to bring any trust to these tourists, but it is the Ice Queen, a fully sail-powered ship, that is favored by them.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to change their itinerary, pay a high price, buy a ferry ticket, and also leave Skull Bay on the Snow Queen.

Because most of these newcomers changed their itinerary temporarily, and all the money they were originally going to spend in Skull Bay was kept, so that the recreation room that had been idle before on the ship began to come in handy, and almost most of the passengers came to this recreation room after leaving their cabin, after all, there are not many places on the ship that allow them to spend.

Leo didn't want to be here, preferring to stay in the cabin and study the notebook, but Old Belen found him after the ship sailed, pulled him out of the room, and took him to the recreation room, because he found that several treasure hunters who had planted seeds on Big Nose Island that day had also boarded the Snow Queen.

Although the matter of Big Nose Island has passed, and Leo has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Life Society for the time being, but even so, he is still curious about the abnormal process of the human body that has been implanted in Bei, and secretly observing the abnormal changes in these people without having a bad effect on him will also help him understand the evolution of life.

So, Leo didn't refuse, put aside his research on the notebook for the time being, and went to the recreation room with Old Belen.

The recreation room was a bit noisy, most of the people were talking about the Miracle Star, only a few of them were focused on the games they were playing, which treasure hunters were at the table at the moment Judging by the chips on the table, they seemed to be in good luck and won a lot.

Leo and Old Belen did not get to the table, but stayed at the bar not far from the table, drinking and watching the game going on at the table over there.

"Which guys have a problem. After looking at a few games of cards on the table, old Belen suddenly spoke.

Leo didn't react to Old Belen's discovery, let alone ask, and he knew there was something wrong with the first game on the table since he came in.

It's just that he didn't see it from the cards, but from the assimilation seed in these people.

On the seeds in the brains of those people, Leo sensed a very weak psionic energy, and the psionic energy fluctuations on several people's bodies were almost the same, and at the beginning of the game, the psionic energy in the seeds of several people was like some kind of signal contact device, constantly emitting psionic energy with obvious characteristic codes, and then those people cooperated with each other in the game, little by little to wear off each other's good cards, and finally won the game.

Because several people were always looking at the cards in their hands, and did not make any suspicious gestures of making a code, the dealer on the ship who presided over the card game could only think that they were lucky and always got the cards they wanted.

However, this was only temporary, and now the men had attracted the attention of the ship's director in charge of the recreation room, and had already made a tentative guess that they would be able to win the game consistently.

Although the games are organized by the passengers, they only provide the dealer and the venue, and winning or losing will not cause them any loss of profit, but if these people continue to win like this, it will definitely cause some trouble that they do not see.

So just now, the director asked people to go to the computer room and turn on the jamming device there.

Sure enough, when the jamming device was turned on, the connection generated by those people through the seed energy was immediately severed, and the momentum of the three of them winning money was immediately curbed. It's just that they didn't lose right away, their own card skills and some tacit cooperation, so that they can barely maintain a no-lose, no-win win rate.

Although these people didn't know how their moves failed, they also knew very well what it was to take it when they saw it, and after a few more people were on the table, they withdrew one after another, and then pretended not to know each other, and each found a person to pile up, and inserted it into the conversation.

For treasure hunters, connections are important, not only about their sources, but also about whether the goods they get can be sold smoothly, and it is more cost-effective to sell directly to customers than to middlemen.

The people who can afford to sit on the Ice Queen are either rich or expensive, and they are potential customers of these treasure hunters, who spend a lot of money to buy tickets, probably hoping to use this long sea trip to make friends with a few powerful people who can afford to pay a lot of money.

"They must have something weird!" At this time, Old Belen suddenly pointed secretly to the group of people who interjected in one of the treasure hunters, and said: "Do you see that old man? He is the steel tycoon of the Mares Kingdom, Catlis Bobley, his steel group used to be the largest steel manufacturer in the Maris Kingdom, although his steel group was forcibly split up due to some changes, and he is no longer allowed to operate the steel industry, but he has a lot of say in the steel industry of the Maris Kingdom, and even the entire Velon's steel industry. There must be something wrong with that guy approaching him. ”

Because of the doubts in his heart, Old Belen was full of suspicion about the actions, words and deeds of these treasure hunters who had been planted with seeds, and kept thinking about the worst.

Leo didn't defend the treasure hunters, he could tell from the details of their secret exchanges that they must have approached them for a purpose, but this purpose was obviously very different from what Old Belen thought.

Leo is more concerned about the changes in these people's bodies at the moment, just now after they stopped using the power contained in the seeds, the power emitted by the seeds did not subside, but slowly changed their bodies, only two days have passed, some parts of their bodies have grown a little extra peripheral nerves, I think they will also grow an extra nervous system like those residents of Big Nose Island in the future.

"Huh?" Just as Leo was inspecting the bodies of these people through the spirit net, his heart or soul suddenly had a little inexplicable panic, and he also felt a trace of mysterious pressure on his body.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the mysterious pressure that made him strange did not come from anyone in the entertainment room, nor from anyone on the boat, but from the ocean outside the ship.

After discovering this, Leo immediately stood up, walked out of the recreation room, came to the deck, and looked out at the ocean, because it was daytime, and the weather was good, Leo could see far away, but on the endless sea level, there were no ships in sight, and naturally there was no existence that could cause him to feel this abnormality.

"In the sea?" Leo didn't find any clues on the surface of the sea, so he set his eyes on the sea level, but within the coverage of his spiritual net, he didn't find anything abnormal, and ordinary eyes couldn't penetrate the barrier of the sea.

So, he turned on his vision and looked into the ocean.

However, when he looked at the ocean with his spiritual vision, the sky that had been cloudless with the scorching sun a moment ago had become pitch black in the blink of an eye, and the people around him had disappeared at the moment, leaving him alone on the deck of the ship looking at the ocean ahead.

And in the depths of the ocean in his eyes, it was no longer some ordinary sea creatures, but a huge black shadow, a black shadow that shrouded the entire surrounding area of the Ice Queen, and this black shadow was the source of the mysterious pressure on Leo's body.

"Corpse collector. Leo quickly recognized who the black shadow in the water was, and at the same time felt a little puzzled, the corpse collector, a demigod close to the omega-level advanced lifeforms, had been following him since the lake town in the dream world, and even followed him to the special subspace between the past, present and future on Yam Island, and now he seemed to be following the world of Veron, Leo was really curious about what was so attractive to him, perhaps this was the reason why he would be marked by various gods.

Although the corpse collector looks like he is in the ocean below the ship, as if he can overturn the ship with a little force, let Leo fall into the water, and then catch Leo, in fact, Leo knows very well that he is actually in a subspace, separated from the world of Veron by a dimensional dimension, and now he is just using some special method to project his body to the world of Velon.

When Leo found this, the awe in his heart disappeared immediately, and he leaned on the side of the boat as if defiantly, and then took out some of the food he had put in the storage space to prepare for the emergency and threw it into the sea like a fish, and deliberately released his teasing emotions into the sea.

The projection of the corpse collector instantly understood Leo's provocative behavior, and immediately became extremely angry, the huge black shadow in the sea shook rapidly, changing shape, and even some tentacle-like body edges forcibly penetrated out of the sea, trying to attack Leo, but the result was that as soon as these tentacles stretched out of the sea, they were immediately dispersed by an invisible force and assimilated by the surrounding world.

Seeing this scene, Leo didn't know why, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind, only to see that while he continued to provoke the corpse collector, he also mobilized the power of the Seagod Mark in his body, and instantly integrated his spirit into the ocean.

Although Leo can't control any ocean power through this Seagod Mark, he can use the power of the ocean to perceive all the details of the power within the influence of the mark after he mentally integrates into the ocean, which naturally includes the residual power aura of the corpse collector's projection that was dispersed by the power of the world.

Just when Leo sensed that there was an unknown power aura in the ocean that was different from the various forces of the Veren world, this power aura seemed to have received some kind of summoning, and instantly entered Leo's body along the spirit, condensing into a divine imprint, a divine imprint belonging to the corpse collector.

This change was completely unexpected by Leo, who just wanted to sense the details of the corpse collector's strength, so that when he faced it again in the future, he could be prepared and not be in a hurry. If he is lucky, he will be able to find out the weaknesses of the corpse collector from this aura of power, and he may be able to repel it head-on in the future.

But he never imagined that the remnants of the corpse collector who should have been dispersed and assimilated by the power of the world would actually enter his body and condense into a divine imprint.

Although the accident happened suddenly, catching Leo off guard, he still instinctively reacted as quickly as possible, and controlled the imprint of the corpse collector condensed in his body according to the method he had explored in previous research.

Maybe it's because this divine imprint is rootless duckweed and has no follow-up support, or maybe it's the joint suppression of other divine imprints in his body, all in all, he completely controls the corpse collector's divine imprint very easily.

The total control here is not just a casual talk, but a complete mastery, because the secret of this sigil is completely revealed to him the moment he is in control, and the corpse collector has no secrets in front of him.

That is, at the moment when Leo mastered the mark of the corpse collector, the projection of the corpse collector in the ocean seemed to sense something, and it was no longer just a tentative attempt to rush into the world of Velon, and the full impact tried to pass through the barrier of the world.

Although it was just a black shadow that changed shape violently, anyone who could see this scene could feel the anxiety and panic of the black shadow.

It's a pity that he is not a god of the Velen world, nor is he a real god, even if he is a real god facing the power of a world, he can't make any resistance, and his crazy actions only speed up the demise of the projection.

While the power of the world dispersed the projection and assimilated the power of the corpse collector, there were also some scattered forces scattered in the surrounding ocean, and because of the seagod mark, it flowed to Leo, and flowed to the corpse collector mark in Leo's body.

As more and more power poured in, the mark of the corpse collector became more and more condensed, no longer in the vague state at the beginning, and began to move closer to the imprint of the gods such as the weaver.

And this is not the final change, as the mark of the corpse collector becomes more and more stared, the secrets about the corpse collector are becoming clearer and clearer, but the confusion caused by these secrets is also increasing, and Leo is a little disappointed that he did not find out why he attracted the attention of the gods and injected the mark into his body.
