Chapter 340: Children of the Storm

After noticing that something was wrong with the digging tool, Leo picked up a wooden draft from the ground and examined it in his hand.

"What's going on? It's no different from an ordinary wooden pickaxe?" Leo tested it a few times, and confirmed that this wooden tool was made of ordinary wood, and it was very soft, not to mention used to open mountains and break rocks, even if it was used to dig ordinary dirt soil, I am afraid it would break in two.

It's just that Leo didn't give up because of this, but thought of the environment of the psionic suppressor he was in now, and if this wooden pickaxe really had power, it might be suppressed or even worn away by the psionic suppressor, turning back into ordinary wood.

Thinking of this, Leo, who had just decided to go to business first, picked up a few tools that were still in good condition, fell from the cliff facing the peninsula on the other side, and began to walk outside the range of the psionic suppressor.

There was almost no need to feel his psionic state, and with the increasing number of psionic creatures found in the psychic network, Leo was already sure that he was almost out of the range of psionic suppressors.

When his spiritual net was completely unleashed and enveloped half of the island, he stopped and looked down at the few digging tools he was holding.

"Mother of Plants?" Although the appearance of the tool has not changed, Leo can clearly feel that there is a vibrant spiritual energy inside the tool that is beginning to condense and slowly emanate to various parts, and what is even more surprising is that he is very familiar with this spiritual energy, which is clearly the spiritual energy fluctuation of the mother plant.

Leo didn't think it was possible for him to feel such obvious psionic fluctuations in the wrong trait, when the leaves of the Mother of Plants had been on his body for so long, he had already recorded that psionic fluctuations and compiled them into the database, as long as he compared them slightly, he could clearly find that the two were the same psionic energy.

From the information obtained from the webweaver's memory, the Mother of Plants was far more powerful than Leo had expected, and even the Lord of the Sky, who still performed miracles from time to time, was not as good as her.

As one of the oldest gods in the Velun world, the Mother of Plants has always been the most powerful existence among the ancient gods, just because he does not need faith, does not need believers, etc., so that his church is always in the middle of the existence and non-existence, plus his church is mainly in the endless wasteland in the south of the Moisan continent, so the civilized world of Velun does not know much about the mother of plants, and even the vast majority of religious scholars list the mother of plants as a backward and primitive totem god.

But in fact, in the memory of the webweaver, the status of the Mother of Plants is high enough to rival that of the Black Forest, and she is also one of the few ancient gods in the world at the end of the age of the gods who can still retain their full power.

It was also because of the memories of the weaver that Leo realized how ignorant he was to give the leaves of the Mother of Plants to Hooves, because the leaves of the Mother of Plants are equivalent to a clone of the Mother of Plants, and if they can be cultivated carefully, it is very likely that they will cultivate a daughter tree of the Mother of Plants.

At that time, the area covered by the Mother and Child Tree of Plants will be transformed into an Emerald Wonderland, and as for what benefits the Emerald Wonderland has, the memory of the weaver does not mention it, but it is not difficult to see the preciousness of the Emerald Wonderland from those exaggerated adjectives in the memory.

It was precisely because he was very familiar with the psionic fluctuations of the Mother Plant, that Leo was sure that the wooden digging tools in his hand should have been made from the branches of the Mother Plant.

However, Leo thought that there were many similar mines at the top of those hills, and there were many abandoned excavation tools around, which made him feel a little incredible.

For those who believe in the Mother of Plants, the things that fall from the Mother of Plants, even if it is just a leaf, are treasures that can be called holy relics, and for wizards, the branches and leaves of the Mother of Plants are extremely precious, or make them into wizard curiosities, or use it as a catalyst for potions, improve the efficacy, etc., in short, anyone who gets the branches and leaves of the Mother of Plants will collect them and use them carefully.

But now, the fallen branches of these mother plants have been made into digging tools that can be discarded casually, and if this abnormal situation is true, then it can only be described as crazy.

In Leo's opinion, either those people in the Black City don't know the value of the Mother Plant Branches and Leaves, and can use them at will and discard them at will, or there are so many branches and leaves that can be used in the Black City that they originate from the Mother Plant, so much that they will not feel a pity to discard them casually.

Although on the surface, the first inference seems reasonable, and can explain why the diggers of the Black City would casually discard the branches and leaves of the Mother Plant, but when you think about it, it feels that something is wrong, because these tools are the only tools they have to dig for the blood of giants, even if they are broken, take them back to repair them, rebuild them, and use them again, and they shouldn't have all of them thrown away.

As for the second speculation, it feels more unreliable than the first, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible, because if these tools are made from the branches and leaves of the Mother Tree of Plants, then the spiritual energy fluctuations contained in them are likely to have been inherited, and even if the branches and leaves of the Mother Tree are still precious, it is obvious that the difference between the two is not half a star compared to the branches and leaves of the Mother of Plants itself.

Since you can get a leaf of the Mother Plant, then it is not impossible for the Mother of Plants to have branches and even seeds on the island of Yam, as long as the items on the Mother of Plants are cultivated to live, then it is equivalent to having an endless harvest of psionic materials, and it is not incomprehensible to use these materials to make tools for digging the extremely important blood of giants.

Just as Leo was thinking about the origin of the excavation tools made from the branches and leaves of the Mother Plant in his hand, the tools in his hand suddenly burst out with a faint light, and then the spiritual energy fluctuations condensed in them quickly dissipated, and the surface of the tools began to decay, and soon the few tools that were still intact turned into several pieces of rotten wood.

The psionic energy that escaped from the tool did not disappear, but merged into the surrounding jungle and injected into the surrounding plants.

At this time, Leo clearly felt through the spiritual network that there were several plants nearby that had undergone some changes after absorbing this scattered spiritual energy, such as an additional spiritual energy fluctuation, but this change was not strong, and it was obvious that these plants only had one more spiritual seed, and there was still a long way to go to completely transform into spiritual creatures.

Now Leo didn't have time to think about why the psionic energy in the tool was dissipating, and after throwing away the tool in his hand, which had completely turned into rotten wood, he hurried towards the cliff by the sea locked by the spirit net.

The reason why he left so quickly was mainly because after the psionic energy of the Mother of Plants escaped just now, it was no less than a striking searchlight for the psionic creatures in this jungle, as long as it was a psionic creature, it was impossible not to be attracted by this psionic energy fluctuation, so Leo's spiritual network immediately found a large number of psionic creatures rushing towards this side.

Leo didn't have the idea of coming into contact with the psionic creatures here, even if those psionic creatures seemed very weak to him, but this island was too weird, there were too many supernormal things, and no one could know if the psionic creatures that were very weak one moment would burst out with supernormal power the next moment, so getting into less trouble was the best countermeasure.

With the help of the spirit web and shadow sorcery, Leo easily avoided all the psionic creatures that he might encounter in the way, and drew for about an hour or so, through the jungle, to the edge of the coast, next to the coastal cliff mentioned by Leon Belmont.

At the top of the mountain just now, Leo saw that the half of the island that was not covered by the psionic suppressor had changed dramatically from the island landscape that he had detected with the spirit net, but in the midst of this great change, there were still some locations that remained the same.

For example, the ship cemetery where he first landed, the jungle-covered settlement, etc., and the seaside cliffs of Leo's current destination are among the places that have not changed.

This cliff is very abrupt in the coastal topography of the whole island, and the entire edge of the island is full of beaches, but when you get here, a huge wall-like cliff suddenly appears, and the initial surface of the cliff should be incredibly smooth, as if it was cut by a huge sharp blade, but with the erosion of natural factors such as seawater, the originally flat cliff surface has been covered with various caves.

The caves vary in size, from large enough for several people to walk side by side, and small enough for a few birds to nest.

On this cliff, there are no other creatures, only a group of birds that look like seagulls nest and breed on the cliffs, as if they have made the cliffs their palaces.

Although they were only small seabirds, Leo did not dare to underestimate them, because they were recorded in the medical school books he had read about species, and like most of the animals and plants on the island were extinct creatures of Velon, this bird was also extinct.

When this bird first appeared, it was regarded as a sacred object of the sea, the mascot of seafarers, and they were also called the children of the storm or the thunderbird because they often accompanied the storms and thunder and lightning at sea.

However, because of their handsome appearance flying in the storm, they became a favorite ornament for nobles and wealthy people, and there was a time when merchant ships traveling from place to place were not transporting all kinds of goods, but a specially treated specimen of a thunderbird.

Eventually, all of the sacred birds, which were regarded as symbols of the boy of the sea, were killed, and the last recorded Thunderbird died in the Sigmar Kingdom Expo.

Don't look at the fact that this bird has been hunted and killed by the humans of the Velen world, and think that this bird is very weak, in fact, every captured thunderbird needs dozens or even hundreds of times more human lives to fill.

Because the strength of the thunderbird itself is extremely strong, it can easily catch an adult and fly into the air, and whether it is the claws or the beak of the bird are extremely hard, it is not difficult to grasp the armor and peck away the weapon, and more importantly, the thunderbird is in groups, once a thunderbird is attacked, all the thunderbirds in this community will come out to help, and will not stop until the attacker is completely killed.

Human beings also take advantage of this characteristic of the ptarmigan to use a large number of slaves as bait to lure the ptarmigan flock out of the nest, and then send people into the ptarmigan nest, steal the chicks, and then make specimens after the chicks are raised.

Therefore, the Thunderbird will be extinct, not because of direct killing, but because the descendants will become extinct, and the adult Ptarmigan will die of old age.

Now, the Thunderbird community that Leo has to face is an unprecedentedly large community, and the largest recorded Thunderbird community in the Velen World is only more than 2,000 individuals, but now the Thunderbird community on this coastal cliff is only roughly counting the tens of thousands of people flying on the sea surface, not counting the number of male and young birds in those cave nests on the cliff, if you calculate it in this way, this Thunderbird community is probably as many as 100,000.

If it was just a matter of quantity, under such a huge accumulation of numbers, there would naturally be a qualitative change, and when Leo reached the shore near the cliff, he found that there were at least four different ptarmigan hovering overhead, and there was also a feeling of being targeted.

These four thunderbirds are completely different from the other thunderbirds around, the feathers on their bodies are silvery-blue, and their body size is much smaller than other thunderbirds, only about half the size, which is very inconspicuous among many amazingly large groups of thunderbirds, but the pressure brought by these four thunderbirds to Leo far exceeds the sum of the tens of thousands of other thunderbirds around.

He tried to check the situation of the four Thunderbirds through the spirit network, but the moment the spirit network approached, it was dispersed by the special interference energy on the thunderbird's body, and the small amount of information fed back was enough for Leo to discover some details of the Thunderbird's power. For example, these four thunderbirds, just like their names, do contain the power of thunder and lightning, and the power of interfering with the spiritual network comes from this power of thunder and lightning.

In addition, these four thunderbirds are all equivalent to the strength of a fourth-level psionic person, and even one of the thunderbirds with black tail feathers may be close to a fifth-level psionic person, just now it directly used its own spiritual energy to disperse the spiritual network through a hard method, rather than through the interference generated by the power of thunder and lightning.

With such a powerful psionic creature and tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of his subordinates, not to mention a fifth-level psionic like Leo, even a sixth-level psionic can only retreat in the face of this situation. After all, as far as the level of psionic beings is concerned, the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels are only changes in spiritual energy, and only when they reach the eighth level will there be a change, and the strength of the two levels will have a difference like heaven and earth.

"Damn, no wonder he had that look on his face. Leo thought of Leon Belmont's strange smile when he saw his disapproving look after proposing the first thing to be done, and now that he thought about it, it was clear that Leon Belmont should have known about this Thunderbird flock beforehand, and that knowing this character was not as easy as he thought.
