Chapter 569: The Great Tree and Worship
"They're testing weapons!" Leo's mind was that the Life Society had found one or several energy weapons from the universe here in Skull Bay, and then found a relatively remote place to test them.
Leo was not surprised that Skull Bay was able to find the device of the cosmic civilization, because it happened to be on the edge of the Falling Star Sea, and its geographical location was similar to that of the Inge Kingdom.
According to the reason for the formation of the Falling Star Sea, it is likely that the Falling Star Sea was formed by a huge space falling object, and this falling object is very likely to be a mothership-class spaceship, otherwise it would not have caused this kind of terrain-changing damage.
Mothership-class ships usually do not exist alone, and there are a number of sub-ships around them, so even if the mothership-class ship falls, some of the surrounding sub-ships may be preserved in the explosion, just like those found in the Kingdom of England.
Skull Bay is located on the edge of the Falling Star Sea, and although it is located a little further on the periphery, it is still within the range of the central explosion.
In fact, after the Kingdom of England gained control of this sea area, a lot of exploration was also carried out, and the construction of a naval base in Skull Bay was not just for the control of the sea area, but now it seems that the Kingdom of England has done so much work, and the final fruits of victory have fallen into the hands of others.
Leo couldn't help but think about it when he saw the look on Old Belen's face at this time, because Old Belen was not too surprised by Leo's suggestion that the mountain collapsed caused by man, but it seemed to be a very normal thing for people to do at this time.
"Aren't you surprised?" Leo asked directly, "What means did those people use to destroy the entire mountain?" โ
"Yes, it is true that the weapons of various countries today cannot do it, but the prehistoric ......" Old Belen smiled, did not continue, but said casually and secretly: "If you are exposed to these things more in the future, you will not be surprised." As he spoke, as if changing the subject, he looked at the collapsed 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 alone is enough, I don't think even those big people in the Inge Kingdom will take this matter casually anymore." โ
Although Old Belen didn't reveal anything, Leo could still sense from his words that Old Belen knew a lot about prehistoric civilizations, that is, things related to the cosmic civilization device. However, it is not known where his knowledge of these things came from, perhaps from the United Kingdom of France, or perhaps from the Persona Society.
However, as he said, as countries begin to understand the use of various devices of those cosmic civilizations, especially the use of weapons, they will attach great importance to anything in prehistoric civilizations, and will never allow any underground organization to master it. Therefore, no matter how badly the Life Society infiltrated the military and political sides of Skull Bay, they could not avoid the blows from the Inge Kingdom itself.
Old Belen, who had recovered his strength, took a careful look at his surroundings, then found a suitable place to observe, led Leo to sneak over, and then waited there.
If he hadn't found the true fragrance of the landslide, maybe Old Belen would have ventured into the interior of the valley and approached the so-called secret base to monitor, but now there was no need, he had already found enough information to convince others, so there was no need to take this risk again.
If Leo hadn't been around, he might have turned his head and left.
After arriving at that place, old Belen found a place to sit against the wall and close his eyes to recuperate, and Leo did not stay on this hidden platform like this, but looked at the height of the mountain, calculated the climbing position of the mountain wall, and in the surprised sight of old Belen, quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, quickly stepped on the smooth ground covered with vines and moss, walked to the other side of the mountain, and looked down at the secret base in the valley that looked like a castle.
Although he didn't use the spirit net, Leo still relied on his amazing spiritual vision, and easily saw that this castle was indeed built in the era of pirates, in terms of shape and obsolescence.
However, the slight difference is that the castle has undergone some renovations, the largest of which is the front square inside the castle, a large number of buildings around the remodeler's square have been demolished to expand the area of the square, and thirteen load-bearing columns with special functions have been installed in some directions in the middle of the square.
These renovations have now been restored, such as the demolition of the buildings with some old rubble and rubble that look like they were collapsed by an earthquake, and the load-bearing columns in the middle of the plaza have been added with some eerie statues that fit the pirate aesthetic of the time.
Most of the people who enter the secret base are treasure hunters, and they may be able to recognize the value of a certain piece of jewelry, or they may be able to tell whether an antique is good or bad, but it is obviously a bit difficult for them to look for this unusual clue in the ruins.
After these people entered the secret base, they began to search carefully in groups of three or five, and soon someone found some pirate-related items from a camouflaged collapsed house, and these items belonged to the same pirate group, almost including the entire five pirate kings, giving people a feeling that this secret base belonged to the five pirate kings.
In addition, a large number of bones were found here, and those bones were dressed in slave clothes, as well as some digging tools and the like, which made people feel that the pirates had brought a large number of slaves back then, and they were digging in this secret base.
These discoveries made these people more and more excited, thinking that they had found some amazing clues, and began to search in groups of three or five in this castle-like base, dividing the area, which naturally inevitably included some conflicts.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. The treasure hunters also stopped their search operations for the time being, and each set up a simple camp, apparently preparing to camp temporarily and continue the search after dawn tomorrow, after all, this secret base is still very large, and it is easy to see some places without enough light.
"Do you feel anything is wrong?" asked the elder Belรฉm, perhaps because he was a little bored below, and climbed to the top of the hill at this time, and walked silently to Leo's side, panting slightly, looking at the bonfires that were being lit in the valley, and asked.
This time, because of Old Belen's breathing, when Old Belen climbed to the top of the mountain, he had already heard the location of Old Belen, but when he found him, he also found that even if he could hear Old Belen's breathing, in his other perceptions, even in the spiritual network, there was no such person, and he knew that this situation was broken.
"Don't you feel it?" said Leo, who suppressed the curiosity in his heart, turned his head to look at Old Belen.
"What do you feel?" asked Old Belen.
Leo pointed around and said, "The cries of insects, the movement of wild beasts, there is not a single bird in the sky, not even flying insects. โ
In Leo's reminder of Xia, Old Belen also noticed it, looked around, his face changed slightly, became a little serious, and said: "It's really wrong, I shouldn't be so slow, I didn't notice such an obvious abnormality." โ
Hearing Old Belen's words, Leo also frowned, and at the same time used the spirit net to carefully check his body, and soon found out the reason.
"Our bodies are flowing a lot slower than usual, and there are other components in the blood," Leo said. โ
Although Old Belen didn't understand Leo's words, he also knew that something might have happened to his body, so he hurriedly said, "How can this be?"
"It should have something to do with them. Leo said, turning his head to look at the common vines coiled on the mountain walls on the ground around him.
Old Belen turned his head to look at the vines, and soon understood what Leo meant, he had encountered a similar situation in the Moisan Continent in the past, there was a garden composed of very beautiful flowers in the dense zero, and some of them couldn't help but enter the garden with curiosity, but after entering, people became stupid, and they couldn't wake up no matter how they screamed, and they sleepwalked to the center of the garden, and then cut their throats with the sharp weapons on their bodies, and watered the flowers with their first learning.
That scene is still deeply in the memory of old Belen, and now he has encountered such a plant again, although this plant is not as powerful as the original flower, but he still feels inexplicable fear in his heart.
Leo said again about his analysis just now: "The leaves of this plant will emit a gas, which is not too harmful to people, but only makes people's senses slightly weakened and a little sleepy. When used correctly, this leaf can definitely help those who suffer from insomnia all year round to fall asleep easily, and its value alone is extraordinary. โ
"In this way, this plant is pretty good. Old Belen reached out and touched a leaf, then plucked it, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully, and said, "It didn't mean to target us, did it?"
"Yes, it was not intended to target us, but the person who made it is unknown. Leo shook his head and said: "This vine is called Fish Skin Vine, and it is famous for its fish skin on the surface, and it can almost be said to be the most widely distributed vine in the world, not only here, but even the French Empire also has this kind of vine, but the problem is that no matter what kind of fish skin vine there is now this kind of fish skin vine that can produce this sleeping gas from leaves, that is to say, this fish skin vine is artificially made." โ
"Artificially made?" said Old Belen with a goal in mind, "It's the Life Society." โ
"Maybe?" Leo wasn't completely sure, because it involved genetic modification, which was far from being something that ordinary forces could modify, but since even magical products such as alien cells could be made, it wouldn't be difficult to change the genes of a plant, after all, science was far from being the strongest force in the world of Velon.
After understanding that it was the gas emitted by the vines that caused the abnormality of his body, Old Belen immediately took out a pair of stuffed things from his pocket, stuffed it into his nose, and then inhaled hard, perhaps because he felt the effect of the stuffiness, and 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's okay, this thing won't work for me. In fact, after discovering the situation, Leo had already used his psionic energy to create a filtering area around his mouth, so that all harmful gases in the surrounding air were isolated.
After dealing with the gas, the attention of the two also shifted to the valley.
Compared to the vines on the top of the mountain, there are many such vines in the valley, not only on the ground, but also in the castle, and it is clear that these vines also have an effect on the treasure hunters who enter the valley, who have just built a bonfire and have not yet eaten, and they are so sleepy that they have found a place to sleep, and they have not even arranged such a common-sense thing as arranging for the night watchman.
Watching these treasure hunters fall asleep quickly through the monoculars in his hand, the old Belen on the mountain gloated a little and said, "I'm afraid these guys can't do it, if something happens, do you want to save them?"
"You can go and save it. Leo looked at Old Belรฉm and said.
"What about you?" Old Belen immediately felt that he had asked a stupid question, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, there is no need to answer. โ
On the top of the mountain, Leo lay quietly on the ground, as if he had fallen asleep, and the elder Belen put on a pair of diving glasses, nervously monitoring the movements in the valley with the telescope in his hand.
In the middle of the night, Leo suddenly got up from the ground, and the vigilant old Belen was also startled, and was about to ask Leo what was going on, but Leo made a gesture to make him quiet, and then pointed to the valley.
Old Belen looked towards the valley, but he didn't see anything unusual, and just as 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 writhing like pythons, and intertwined with each other more and more, thicker and thicker, and after a moment it became a towering tree.
And at the moment when the towering tree was formed, the treasure hunters who had never been awake all seemed to wake up and got up from the ground, but instead of fleeing in a panic because of the changes in front of them, they gathered under the towering tree, as if performing some kind of religious ritual, worshipping it, and let out strange shouts, as if they were chanting some name.
At the climax of the worship service, the tree suddenly lowered several tentacles downward, which fell like hands on the heads of the men, and sent something like a seed into their skulls.
