Chapter 1857 Psychic Jenkins

Jenkins felt that the young man in front of him appeared very strange. This strangeness did not mean that there was anything strange about the process of his appearance, but that he behaved too normally when he came here and saw the big tree showing magical phenomena. There was not even a trace of surprise on his face.

At first, Jenkins just thought that the other party might be like those beasts that were attracted here. For some unknown reason, they fell into a confused state and had no awareness of everything in the outside world. But after careful observation, he found that the young man did not fall into that kind of obsession. Instead, he seemed very sober and stood under the tree and looked up and down at the big tree.

However, what puzzled Jenkins even more was that after the young man entered the hunting area of ​​the big tree, the tree roots hidden underground did not attack the young man, as if the young man did not exist.

Because of this, Jenkins could not help but have a strong curiosity about the identity and origin of the young man in front of him, but he had never seen the hunting clothes worn by the young man, so he could not tell which country he belonged to from his clothes.

In addition, he also found that although the young man's hunting suit looked like hunting clothes, this kind of dress was more suitable for hunting like a noble game. In the primitive jungle of the New World, this kind of hunting suit was very inappropriate. What was puzzling was that the clothes on the other party were very clean. Not only was there no mud or rain, but there was no rain at all. You know, it was pouring rain before. In this kind of weather, it is impossible to walk in the jungle with dry bodies.

Just as Jenkins was observing the young man, the young man seemed to notice Jenkins's sight, turned his head to look at Jenkins, and then turned around and walked towards the glowing tree, and came directly to the bottom of the tree.

At this time, Jenkins felt that the light radiating from the tree was obviously restrained, as if it was afraid of something, especially when the young man put his hand on the tree, all the light radiating outward, including those light spots flying like insects, were all retracted into the tree, and the tree instantly became an ordinary tree. At the same time, the weather that was snowing a moment ago immediately turned into drizzle.

When darkness enveloped the surroundings again, Jenkins felt an inexplicable sense of security. He felt that the danger might have passed, so he tried to move his body and climb out of the simple hut. He was very careful and moved very slowly throughout the process, always paying attention to the sense of danger. However, until he completely climbed out of the simple hut, the sense of danger did not appear.

After climbing out of the hut, he immediately lit the oil lamp mounted on his waist, and then adjusted the flame to the brightest state, illuminating the dark environment around him, and also illuminating the young man under the tree who had withdrawn his hand from the trunk.

"Sir..." Jenkins wanted to ask the other party, but the words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to ask for a while.

"Jenkins Moriat." The young man turned around and looked at Jenkins, looked up and down, his eyes fell on Jenkins' iconic red hair, and said Jenkins' full name.

"Sir, do you know me?" Jenkins was stunned and asked.

The young man introduced himself: "My name is Leo Dodd, and I am also a member of the Pioneer Group."

"Reader Leo?" Jenkins also immediately realized who Leo was, and said Leo's nickname in the Pioneer Group camp, but then he showed an embarrassed look on his face, thinking that he seemed to have said something bad.

Although Leo thought he should be very low-key in the Pioneer Group and would not attract attention, in fact, many people in the camp were paying attention to Leo and even guessing Leo's identity.

The reason for this is entirely because Leo received the best treatment among all the Pioneer Group scholar consultants, and Bernardo's most precious collection of books was also open to Leo, which was a treatment that other scholars could not enjoy. In addition, Leo's speed and quantity of reading books were very amazing. He had read all the books in the camp in almost a few days. This made many people doubt whether Leo had really read those books, and whether most of them were just flipping through them casually, so he was given a nickname of Reader, but this nickname was more like a mockery of Leo's pretentious reading behavior, which was also the reason why Jenkins felt embarrassed.

If it was any other time, Jenkins would never have any awkward expression when calling Leo the reader, but it was different now, especially after he saw Leo's actions just now and felt that this magical tree was extremely afraid of Leo, the smart man had already vaguely realized that Leo was not an ordinary scholar, and he might have similar or even more magical characteristics as himself.

At this moment, Leo was also looking at Jenkins. If there were a few people in the pioneer camp who were worth noting, the lucky Jenkins Moriart was definitely one of them, because when the support team of the Nature Association came to the pioneer camp, some of the New World jungle adventurers in the camp were talking about a person in the support team, and this person was Jenkins. As for the reason for talking about it, it was Jenkins's magical and scary good luck.

Almost everyone knows that as long as Jenkins is in the team, the team will either be extremely lucky and will not encounter any danger in the middle, and then return with a full harvest, or extremely unlucky and will encounter various dangers as soon as they enter the jungle, and eventually be buried in the jungle, but no matter good luck or bad luck, Jenkins will be fine, and he will always be the one who survives in the end.

This rumor is not aimless, but has a lot of factual basis, because Jenkins has joined or led a total of 40 to 50 teams, and less than half of them can finally come out of the jungle intact, and the half that come out alive will almost all leave Jenkins and join other pioneering groups or adventure groups, encounter bad luck, and die in the jungle. Only a very few people can stop their greed and leave the New World after earning a commission enough to go home.

So there are also many people who say that the reason why Jenkins can survive countless dangers is because he can transfer the good luck of his companions, and once the good luck is transferred to himself, his companions will die, and he will be able to survive.

Although Jenkins has such extremely negative rumors, there are still many adventurers who hope to team up with Jenkins or let Jenkins join their team, because everyone knows that as long as Jenkins joins, the exploration in the jungle will definitely have great gains. For those who come to the New World for adventure, death is not terrible, but no gains and no commissions are the most terrible.

So when Leo heard the conversations of these adventurers, they were all afraid of Jenkins' dangerous ability to transfer luck. At the same time, they also hoped to invite Jenkins to join their team, or join Jenkins' team. The contradiction in attitude was like two personalities thinking alternately.

The reason why Leo was curious about Jenkins was because of Jenkins' good luck. In Leo's opinion, such good luck would never happen under normal circumstances, so he was a little suspicious whether Jenkins had some kind of extraordinary power, and it was an extraordinary power related to luck.

However, even though he was curious, Leo did not intend to find Jenkins to confirm immediately. He was still busy collecting various books and knowledge at the time, and then he left alone, intending to first go to the tribe of the Mumu tribe to check the situation with the pioneers, and put the matter of Jenkins aside.

However, what he didn't expect was that he and Jenkins were so destined to meet in the depths of this endless jungle. The uniform uniform of the pioneer group and the unique fiery red hair on the other party were the best signs. While recognizing Jenkins, he also carefully checked Jenkins's situation. Although there was no way to scan Jenkins using the mental network, he could still clearly feel that Jenkins' body was a little abnormal with his extraordinary perception.

"Why are you here?" Leo asked the other party directly.

Originally, Jenkins didn't need to answer Leo's question at all, because they had no subordinate relationship, but the changes in the big tree caused by Leo's appearance just now made him feel a little in awe of Leo, so that after hearing Leo's question, he explained why he was here.

"You said you could see the big tree glowing just now?" Leo looked at Jenkins with some surprise after hearing it and asked.

"Yes, I can see the tree glowing." Jenkins nodded, and then asked in confusion: "Some plants in the New World can glow. Even if such a large glowing plant is rare, you shouldn't be surprised, right? Compared to the glow of this tree, isn't it more magical that this tree can attract wild beasts and use its roots to hunt? Maybe this tree has wisdom?"

"Do you think this tree has wisdom?" Leo asked again.

Jenkins thought for a while and said, "Yes, my intuition tells me that this tree has wisdom and can distinguish prey."

After listening to Jenkins' words, Leo looked at the other party again.

For Leo, plants hunting animals is not something worth paying attention to. Not to mention this world, there are similar active hunting plants in the jungles of other worlds. As for the size of the trees, he doesn't care much either, because in the seaside of Vanaheim, there are many trees taller than this giant tree. The real reason that attracted Leo is actually the light emitted by the trees, the ability to absorb heat through branches and leaves to change the climate, and the wisdom revealed by the trees themselves.

First of all, the light emitted by the trees is not the light that ordinary people can see with their naked eyes. Only eyes transformed by psychic vision can see this light. This light is a pure energy light, just like the magnetic field energy that is everywhere in the world.

Secondly, the ability to absorb heat and change the climate is also extremely magical. Although it is not a release-type ability, it has produced the effect of a release-type ability and also gave Leo some inspiration, allowing him to understand how to use his power more efficiently.

As for the wisdom of the tree, it is mainly reflected in its ability to judge danger, feel Leo's fear, and then produce the timidity of intelligent creatures, and then take the initiative to make targeted defenses.

All these things show that this tree is no longer an ordinary tree. If it were in another world, this tree might have evolved into a supernatural race such as a tree spirit or a tree shepherd. Unfortunately, this world will not allow such a supernatural creature to complete its evolution. This form is its permanent form.

However, the magical power of this tree, except for the ability to affect the climate, the other two abilities are not something that ordinary people can see or feel, but Jenkins in front of him can see and feel them, which makes Leo think of the rumors about Jenkins and think that Jenkins may really be a supernatural person.

Thinking of this, Leo walked towards Jenkins and reached out to grab Jenkins' wrist.

Jenkins instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but Leo's hand was like steel, and no matter how he struggled, it did not shake.

"Sir Leo, what do you want to do?" Jenkins asked.

As soon as Jenkins finished speaking, Leo let go of Jenkins' hand, looked at him with some surprise, and asked, "Do you know the mad poet Messer?"

Jenkins was stunned when he heard Leo's sudden question, but soon he came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "No." Then he took a step or two back, away from Leo, and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Leo shook his head and looked at Jenkins again with a strange look.

The reason why Leo suddenly asked Jenkins if he knew the mad poet Messer was mainly because he had just found out that Jenkins had a psychic reaction in his body through direct physical contact with Jenkins, which means that Jenkins is a psychic.

When he saw the inspiration potion, Leo had already considered that there might be psychics in this world, because although the inspiration potion has a lot of side effects on ordinary people, it is undeniable that this potion can also change the human physique to a certain extent, and this change may be permanent.

For example, if the ancestors of a family took a large number of inspiration potions, and the offspring who took inspiration potions would retain the changes in their bodies to a certain extent, and then the offspring would also take inspiration potions, which would deepen the changes in their physique again, and this cycle would repeat until dozens of family members were so lucky to take inspiration potions, and the offspring could accumulate the changes in their bodies caused by the effects of the potions. Eventually, this accumulation could reach the level of qualitative change, allowing their offspring to produce psychics.

Although the method is simple, it is very difficult to implement it, because there are too many unpredictable factors. Once a problem occurs in one of the links, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Therefore, Leo also considered the success rate. The number of psychics produced by inspiration potions in this world is almost zero.

What he never expected was that a successful case appeared in front of him, which really surprised him.
