The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"They're testing weapons!" What Leo thought of was that people from the Life Society discovered one or several energy weapons from the universe here in Skull Bay, and then found a relatively remote place to test.

Leo was not surprised that Skull Bay could find the device of cosmic civilization, because it happened to be on the edge of the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, and its geographical location was similar to that of the Kingdom of England.

According to the reason for the formation of the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, the Sea of ​​Falling Stars was probably formed by a huge space falling object, and this falling object is very likely to be a mothership-class spaceship, otherwise it would be impossible to cause such terrain-changing damage.

However, mothership-class spaceships usually do not exist alone, and there are varying numbers of sub-ships around them to guard them, so even if the mothership-class spaceship falls, some devices on the surrounding sub-ships may survive the explosion, just like the British The same devices as those found in the Kingdom of Grid.

The location of Skull Bay is on the edge of the Sea of ​​Falling Stars. Although the location is closer to 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, it also conducted a lot of exploration. The construction of a naval base in Skull Bay is not only for the control of the sea area, but now it seems that the Kingdom of England has been doing so for so long Work, the ultimate fruit of victory fell into the hands of others.

Seeing the expression on Old Beren's face at this moment, Leo couldn't help thinking, because Old Beren didn't show too much surprise at Leo's proposal of man-made landslides. A very normal thing.

"Aren't you surprised?" Leo asked directly: "What method did those people use to destroy the entire mountain? According to my knowledge, it seems that none of the weapons in the hands of the Villen nations can achieve this kind of natural disaster. destructive power."

"That's right, it's true that the weapons of various countries today can't do it, but prehistoric..." Old Beren smiled, and didn't go on. He just said casually in a secretive way: "If you get in touch with these things more in the future, you won't be able to do it." I'm 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, the matter in front of me is nothing to worry about. Enough is enough, I don’t think even those big figures in the Kingdom of England will take this matter lightly anymore.”

Although the old Belem didn't reveal anything, Leo could still feel from his words that the old Belem knew a lot about prehistoric civilization, that is, things related to the cosmic civilization device. However, it is not known where his knowledge of these things came from, maybe it was the United Kingdom of France, or maybe it was the Society of Hearings.

But as he said, as countries begin to understand how to use various devices of cosmic civilization, especially weapons, they will pay special attention to anything in prehistoric civilization, and will never allow any underground organization to master it. . Therefore, no matter how deeply the Life Society infiltrates the military and political sides of Skull Bay, they cannot avoid the blow from the mainland of the Kingdom of England.

Old Beren, who recovered his strength, looked carefully at the surrounding environment, then found a suitable place to observe, led Leo to sneak there, and then waited there.

If Zhenxiang hadn't discovered the collapse of the mountain, maybe the old Belen would venture into the valley and approach the so-called secret base for surveillance, but it is no longer necessary now, he has found enough to convince others information, so there is no need to take this risk again.

If it wasn't for Leo's side, he might have turned his head and left.

After arriving at that place, Old Belen found someone to sit on the wall and close his eyes to rest his mind. Leo didn't just stay on this hidden platform, but looked at the height of the top of the mountain and calculated the height of the mountain. The climbing position on the wall, under 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 top of the mountain, overlooking the valley that looks like The secret base of the castle.

Although he didn't use the spirit net, Leo still relied on his astonishing spiritual vision to easily see that the castle was indeed built in the era of pirates in terms of its shape and age.

But the slight difference is that the castle has undergone some reconstructions, the largest of which is the Qianping Square inside the castle. A large number of buildings around the reformer square have been demolished to expand the square area, and some azimuths are also equipped in the middle of the square. In order to install thirteen load-bearing columns with special functions.

Now these renovations have been repaired. For example, some old gravel and tiles have been added to the demolished buildings, which look like ruins collapsed by the earthquake, and some load-bearing columns in the middle of the square have also been added. Aesthetic eerie statues.

Most of the people who entered the secret base were treasure hunters. They might be able to recognize the value of a certain jewelry, or they might be able to tell the quality of a certain antique, but it is obviously a bit difficult for them to look for this unusual clue from the ruins. Embarrass them.

After these people entered the secret base, they began to search carefully in groups of three or four, and soon someone found some items related to pirates from a disguised collapsed house, and these items belonged to different pirate groups, almost Including the entire five pirate kings, it feels like this secret base belongs to the five pirate kings.

In addition, some people found a large number of bones here. Those bones were dressed in slave clothes, and there were some digging tools. It made people think that pirates transported a large number of slaves to dig something in this secret base.

These discoveries made these people more and more excited, thinking that they had found some great clues, and began to search in groups of three or four in this castle-like base, dividing areas, and naturally some conflicts were inevitable.

As time passed, the sky gradually dimmed. Those treasure hunters also temporarily stopped their search operations, and each set up a simple camp. It seems that they are going to set up camp temporarily and continue searching after dawn tomorrow. After all, this secret base is still very large, and it is easy to miss it without enough light. some places.

"Did you feel anything wrong?" Maybe it was because of being bored down below, Old Beren also climbed to the top of the mountain at this time, and walked to Leo's side silently, panting slightly, watching Looking at the piles of bonfires in the valley, he asked.

This time, because of Old Beren's panting, when Old Beren climbed to the top of the mountain, he had already heard the location of Old Beren, but he also found that even if he could hear Old Beren's panting, But in his other perceptions, even in the mental network, there is no such person, knowing how to speak, this situation was broken.

"Don't you feel it?" Leo suppressed the curiosity in his heart, turned his head to look at Old Beren, and said.

"What do you feel?" Old Beren asked.

Leo pointed to the surroundings, and said, "The sound of bugs, the sound of animals walking, there is not a single bird in the sky, not even flying insects."

After Leo reminded Xia, Old Beren also noticed something, looked around, his face changed slightly, became a little serious, and said: "It's really not right, I shouldn't be so slow, such an obvious abnormal situation doesn't matter. Didn't notice."

Hearing Old Beren's words, Leo also frowned. At the same time, he checked his body carefully with the Spirit Net, and soon discovered the reason.

Leo said: "The blood flow in our body is much slower than usual, and there are some other components in the blood."

Although Old Beren didn't understand Leo's words, he also knew that something might happen to his body, so he hurriedly said, "How could this happen?"

"It should be related to them." Leo turned his head and looked at the common vines coiled on the mountain walls on the surrounding ground, and said.

Old Belen turned his head to look at the vines, and quickly understood what Leo meant. He had encountered a similar situation in the Mosang Continent in the past. There was a garden of beautiful flowers in the dense Congling. At that time, some of them couldn't help being curious and entered the garden. As a result, after entering, they became stupid and couldn't wake up no matter how much they screamed. Watered the flowers with the first learning.

That scene back then is still deeply in Old Beren's memory, and now he has encountered such a plant again. Although this plant is not as powerful as the flower at the beginning, he still feels inexplicable fear in his heart.

Leo recounted his analysis just now: "The leaves of this plant will emit a gas, which is not too harmful to people, but will only weaken people's senses slightly and make people drowsy. If Properly used, this leaf can definitely help those who suffer from insomnia to fall asleep easily, and for this effect alone, it is of great value."

"In this way, this kind of plant is quite good." Old Beren reached out and touched a leaf, then picked it off, put it in front of his eyes for a closer look, and said, "It didn't mean to target us, yes. ?"

"Yes, it didn't target us intentionally, 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. It can almost be said that it is the most widely distributed vine in the world, not only here, but also in the French Empire, but the problem is that no matter what kind of fish skin vine it is, there is no such fish skin vine. Pitten can produce this dormant gas through the leaves, which means that this kind of fish skin vine is man-made."

"Man-made?" Old Beren quickly had a target and said, "It's the Society of Life."

"Maybe?" Leo wasn't entirely sure, because it involved genetic modification, which was far beyond what ordinary forces could transform. It is not difficult to think about the genes of a plant. After all, in the Vinylon world, science is far from the strongest force.

After realizing that it was the gas emitted by the vines that caused the abnormality in his body, Old Beren immediately took out a pair of nasal plugs from his pocket, stuffed them into his nose, and then inhaled vigorously, perhaps because he felt the effect of nasal congestion. There was a smile on his face. Then he turned to Leo and asked, "What do you do now, how do you solve this problem?"

"It doesn't matter, this thing is useless to me." In fact, after discovering the situation, Leo had already used his psychic power to create a filter area around his mouth to isolate all harmful gases in the surrounding air.

After solving the gas, the attention of the two also shifted to the valley.

Compared with the vines on the top of the mountain, there are more of these vines in the valley, not only on the ground, but also in the castle. It is obvious that these vines also have an effect on the treasure hunters who enter the valley. They had just built a bonfire and hadn't eaten yet, so they were so sleepy one by one, they found a place to sleep, and they didn't even arrange such a common-sense thing as a night watchman.

Looking at these treasure hunters quickly falling asleep through the binoculars in his hand, the old Beren on the mountain gloated a little, and said, "I'm afraid these guys are dying. If something happens, do you want to save them?"

"You can go and save it." Leo looked at Old Beren and said.

"What about you?" After Old Beren asked, he immediately felt that he had asked a stupid question, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, there is no need to answer."

As time passed, the valley was very peaceful, so peaceful that it made people feel horrified. On the top of the mountain, Leo lay quietly on the ground, as if he was asleep. Old Belen put on a pair of glasses like diving goggles , nervously monitoring the movement in the valley with the telescope in his hand.

Around midnight, Leo suddenly got up from the ground, and the always vigilant old Beren was startled. Just as he was about to ask Leo what was going on, Leo made a gesture to make him quiet. gesture, and then pointed to the valley.

Old Belem looked towards the valley, but he didn't see anything unusual. Just as he was about to make gestures to ask Leo what he wanted him to see, he suddenly saw the vines in the base castle in the distance suddenly look like They twisted like a boa constrictor, and became more and more intertwined with each other, thicker and thicker, and turned into a towering tree after a while.

And at the moment when the towering tree was formed, those treasure hunters who had been sleeping all the time seemed to wake up, and stood up from the ground, but they did not panic and flee in response to the changes in front of them, but gathered together Under the towering tree, as if performing some kind of religious ceremony, he worshiped it, and made a strange cry, as if he was reciting some name.

Just when the worship ceremony reached its climax, the big tree suddenly dropped several tentacles. These tentacles landed on the heads of those people like hands, and sent a seed-like thing into their hearts. in the skull.
