Chapter 1844 Notes on the Underground World
Leo didn't ask why Joe was sure that there was an abyssal serpent in the underground world. He only needed to know that there was an abyssal serpent in this world. Since the abyssal serpent came to this world, he must know this world very well. This world There must be something that attracts Him, which also made Leo interested.
Leo, who possesses some of the memories of the Abyss Serpent, is very clear about the habits of the Abyss Serpent. Compared to other abyssal races who like to rush to the front line to pollute the world in the most direct way, the Abyss Serpent is more willing to hide in the dark and induce others to The abyssal race does things for them. In doing so, they can keep themselves out of danger, and it will not reduce the care of the abyss consciousness when the world is swallowed by the abyss.
Only very rarely will the Abyss Serpent leave the abyss and go to another world in person. The reason why the Abyss Serpent does this is very simple, that is, the world he goes to has enough treasures for the Abyss Serpent to be willing to take the risk, and there is also a prerequisite. , that is, the Abyss Serpent knows that world very well and can escape from that world at any time and escape back to the abyss.
If judging by the habits of the Abyss Serpent, Leo can basically be sure that the Abyss Serpent corresponding to the golden statue in his hand must have a way to use extraordinary power to open space rifts. This is also what he thought after seeing the golden statue. This was also the reason why he became interested in searching for the Abyss Serpent.
"Even if I agree to assist you and testify for this thing, I don't know anything about it, and my random remarks can easily be exposed by other consultants of the pioneering team." Leo returned the golden statue of the Abyss Serpent to Joe and said in a deep voice Said: "And my identity and status are not enough to attract the attention of the pioneering group. Even if I can prove the value of this thing, I am afraid that the pioneering group will not pay enough attention to me."
"You don't have to worry about this. It doesn't matter even if the pioneering group doesn't pay enough attention to you. I have other ways to make them pay attention." Qiao smiled extremely confidently. While putting the statue back into his pocket, he took out a notebook and handed it to He gave it to Leo and said: "As for the information about this statue, I have already prepared it. You just need to remember the above content. When the senior leaders of the development team come to ask, you can answer according to the above information. It's absolutely impossible for anyone to see anything unusual." As he said that, he looked at Leo with deep meaning and said, "But by then you may gain a lot of fame for this matter, and there will definitely be other new continents. Researchers of indigenous civilizations come to you for advice. If you don’t want to lose your reputation, you’d better learn more about the customs of indigenous tribes as soon as possible.”
Leo took the notebook handed over by Qiao and looked through it. Although the notebook was not big, the content inside was very detailed. It mainly introduced the customs of a tribe called Mu Mu, and most of them were specific to this tribe. The serpent belief.
Leo glanced briefly, then closed the note, and then asked Qiao: "Do you have any good suggestions about the research on indigenous tribes?"
"You can only figure this out for yourself. I am not someone who specializes in studying the tribal civilizations of the New World." Qiao shook his head, then pointed to the notebook in Leo's hand and said, "This notebook does not belong to me, but belongs to An unknown scholar, he was also a consultant to a certain country's pioneering group. He was later captured by the Mumu tribe, and then stayed as a slave among the Mumu tribe. Later, he contracted an illness and died, leaving only this notebook and this Statue." He paused and added: "He has been to the underworld."
"Is there anything about the underground world recorded in this notebook?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and quickly recalled what he had just read. He didn't seem to find anything recording the underground world, so he asked doubtfully.
"It records some things about the underground world, but it's in another notebook." Qiao nodded, but had no intention of taking out another notebook to show Leo, and then changed the topic back to cooperation matters superior.
Leo did not continue to ask questions. After discussing a few details of cooperation matters with Qiao, he let Qiao leave.
After Joe left, Leo picked up the notebook and read it quickly, and quickly memorized all the contents in it. However, he did not rest there, but took out a medicine bottle from the package. Then he found a basin of water, dropped a few drops of concoction from the medicine bottle into the water, stirred it evenly, and then tore off a less important page from the notebook in his hand and put it into the water.
Soon this page of paper quickly dissolved in the water. Leo then placed the basin of water on the bonfire outside the tent to bake. At the same time, a steam collector was set up on it. As the water in the basin gradually evaporated, the steam collector was collected. The water in the collection bottle at the end of the container also gradually increased until it was filled with unknown water, and then he took off the water basin and collector.
There were soldiers patrolling back and forth in the camp. They saw Leo's actions from beginning to end, but they did not come forward to disturb him because they already knew that Leo was a scholar, and in their minds, some weird behaviors of scholars were very strange. normal.
After returning to the tent, Leo poured the water from the collector into a palm-sized bottle, took out a bottle of potion extracted from a special plant, and poured a few drops into the bottle. The distilled water in the bottle originally had no odor. At this moment, there was a strange smell.
After smelling this strange smell, Leo had a slight smile on his face. Then he corked the bottle and sat on the simple bed in the tent. He lowered his head slightly, opened his mouth, and used his throat to make bursts of sounds that ordinary people's ears could not hear. The low hum heard.
Then, a nimble black shadow emerged from the jungle, passed through the heavily guarded perimeter of the camp, came to the camp, quickly approached Leo's tent, and then entered the tent when the patrol soldiers were not paying attention, then walked in front of Leo, squatted in front of Leo very respectfully, and made a very low cry, as if responding to Leo's low cry.
I saw that the black shadow squatting in front of Leo was an animal similar to a black panther. The reason why it was similar to a black panther was that it had a pair of legs, a pair of ears and a pair of eyes. This animal was called Gaka, and it was not an animal from the New World, but an animal from the Novat continent.
In the list of beasts on the Novat continent, Gaka is not a ferocious animal, but it is also one of the beasts. The most important point is that this animal can be domesticated and used for hunting.
Although it has two pairs of eyes and two pairs of ears, its vision and hearing are not the best. Its sense of smell is its strongest organ. According to the information Leo saw in the library of Matouwan Town, its kind once crossed most of the Novat continent through smell to find the body of its master who died at the hands of robbers.
Leo has mastered a lot of shaman spells, and he himself has the natural power that can easily tame various beasts. In addition, with the wizard potion that specifically stimulates the potential of beasts, he wants to capture a suitable beast and tame it as his helper. When he was in Matouwan, he happened to see a merchant preparing to sell an untamed adult Gaka.
According to the merchant, this Gaka was originally reserved by an officer in Matouwan, but when the Gaka was delivered, the officer was on the missing list of the logging camp. It is almost certain that he will not be able to come back alive, so the merchant can only sell this Gaka on the spot.
However, the officer bought the Gaka because he thought that taking Gaka's blood every day could increase his male ability, so the Gaka he ordered was an untamed, wild adult Gaka, and such an adult Gaka could not be tamed, so the merchant could not sell it at all, and finally sold it to Leo.
As for Leo, he did not buy it with money, but exchanged it with several bottles of his special healing potion, and the merchant was naturally very happy to exchange it after seeing the amazing effect of the healing potion in treating trauma.
Although everyone knows that adult Gaka cannot be tamed, this does not include Leo. In just one night, Leo completely tamed Gaka, and in the next few days, he used some wizard potions and shaman potions without extraordinary power to catalyze Gaka's potential, which not only enhanced its strength, speed, etc. by several times or even dozens of times, but also its hearing, smell, and vision perception abilities also responded to an incredible level, and its intelligence became like that of a ten-year-old child.
At present, except that this Gaka cannot use any extraordinary power, the rest of it is no different from extraordinary creatures. Even in terms of combat power, some extraordinary creatures may not be able to fight against it.
Before joining the pioneer group, Leo put Gaka in the forest, let it hide in the forest, and move with the pioneer group, and summon it when needed.
Looking at Gaka in front of him, Leo touched Gaka's head, and Gaka squinted his eyes to enjoy Leo's touch.
After interacting with Gaka for a while, Leo took out the bottle of liquid with a special smell, uncorked it, let Gaka smell it, and then instructed Gaka to find the source of the smell through the shamanism's special low hum.
When Joe took out the notebook just now, Leo was sure that this notebook was not Joe's, because the smell attached to the notebook was completely different from the smell on Joe's body.
The owner of this notebook obviously attaches great importance to it and has always kept it close to his body, so it must be stained with a lot of the owner's body odor. If what Joe said just now is true, then the owner of the notebook must be dead and buried near the tribe called Mumu, so Leo hopes to use the smell left on the notebook to let Gaka find the body of the owner of the notebook and then find the location of the Mumu tribe.
Although he has just negotiated with Joe on the cooperation, Leo will not put all his hopes of finding the entrance to the underground world on Joe, and Joe has concealed many things and is not a trustworthy partner, so he prefers to take the initiative himself.
After remembering the extracted smell, Gaka followed Leo's order and quickly got out of the tent, but what Leo didn't expect was that after a while, Gaka sneaked back into Leo's tent with a large package in his mouth.
After seeing the package, Leo couldn't help laughing, because he was sure that the package must belong to Joe, and in addition to Joe's own notes, there should be other notes recorded by the scholar who died in the Mumu tribe. Jaka must have smelled a similar smell, so he found this leather package.
Since he found such useful information, Leo naturally wouldn't waste it. He took out the information in the package one by one, quickly flipped through it, and recorded it in his database, especially the notes about the Mumu tribe and the underground world, and then restored the package, asked Jaka to send the package back, and then ordered Jaka to re-enter the jungle, follow the smell, and find the source.
After Jaka left, Leo began to read and analyze the recorded information, especially the part about the underground world.
There are two notebooks recording the underground world. One is the notebook left by the scholar who died in the Mumu tribe. He did not record how to enter the underground world, because when he entered the underground world, he was blindfolded and sat on the back of a special reptile pack animal to enter the underground world. He was taken off the blindfold after arriving at a city in the underground world that was built entirely of rocks.
The reason why the man was taken to the underground world by the Mumu tribe was because he had extremely exquisite stone carving skills. The Mumu people took a fancy to his skills and took him to a temple in a stone city in the underground world to carve a statue of the giant snake they believed in.
He stayed underground for more than three months. After carving the statue, he was brought back to the ground. During these three months, he was always active in and outside the temple that had not been completed. He never left the construction site of the temple, so he didn’t know much about the stone city he saw. He just described everything he saw and drew a lot of patterns to match the text.
After reading this notebook, Leo also had a general understanding of the underground world. For example, the underground world is not dark and dull. On the contrary, there is a kind of moss that can continuously glow, and this moss is all over the city, which makes the whole city bathed in light and looks very sacred from a distance.
In addition to the light, the people living there are also very special. They are much taller and stronger than ordinary people. According to the description, the workers responsible for building the temple can easily carry a stone as the foundation. In addition, their eyes are all silver-white, and their skin is also pale. If you look closely, you can see some scales on their skin.
As for the level of civilization of the underground world city, it also shocked the scholar. He didn't know about other things he hadn't come into contact with. He could only compare the buildings he had come into contact with. He had to admit that in terms of architectural aesthetics, technology, etc., the countries of the Novat continent were far from comparable to this city.
