The helmsman of the fusiform boat that Leo and Sylvia were on was obviously a veteran. Before the lighthouse signal was transmitted, he had already asked the oarsmen to row, and easily found a channel through the blocking ships in front.

, followed by another fusiform boat, one after another, emerged from the waters of the dock area.

"That's a straw boat. Didn't he just come back not long ago? He ran out again. Is there some big deal?" When the captain hung a stone lantern on the bow, the fusiform boat behind happened to pass by.

He went to the side and widened the distance between the two at an extremely fast speed. The captain also saw the appearance of the ship clearly and couldn't help but wonder.

"Lucao?" Sylvia, who was sitting not far away, asked curiously: "Is the owner of that ship called Lucao?"

"No, Lucao is a nickname. The owner of that ship is our tax collector." The captain didn't have any worries, and his tone was full of disdain. He explained: "Things like Lucao will be used as long as something comes close to them."

He will hold you in his arms, even if it is a ball of fire, this is the character of our tax collector."

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions, because they already knew that the tax official left Saubanes overnight, and I'm afraid it had something to do with them.

After the fusiform ship gradually moved away from Sobanus, the captain had no intention of talking to the two guests behind him. His eyes were always staring at the stone lantern in front of him. Whenever the flame in the stone lantern changed, such as burning more violently, the flames

Rapid rotation, etc., the captain will react immediately and wave the flag in his hand with a certain semaphore to notify the helmsman behind to change the route of the fusiform ship.

Sylvia, who was also sitting on the bow of the ship, looked curiously at the stone lantern hanging on the bow. Although it was only the first time for her to see this stone lantern, she could already tell from the captain's actions that it was

There is no doubt that the stone lamp is a shamanic artifact. Its function should be to judge the situation under the water and tell the user where there is danger under the water through the changes in the flame.

Unlike Sylvia, Leo is not very interested in stone lanterns. He is more concerned about the things in the water. When the ship sails into the river, he extends his spiritual network to the bottom of the water to monitor the situation under the water.

And before Shi Leng noticed anything unusual, he discovered the monster in the water first.

"Which one is the mutated monster and which one is the son of Tatum?" After Leo clearly distinguished the monsters in the water, he couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.

The reason for this confusion is that Leo discovered that the two largest groups of monsters hidden underwater are similar to mutated monsters, not only physically, but also in terms of energy fluctuations.

One of these monsters is a monster that looks like a luminous water plant. The light in the water seen on the water surface also comes from this monster. Although it looks like a water plant, in fact this monster is not a plant, but some kind of insect.

Monster, this kind of monster has barbs all around its body, and each barb has a straw. Once it is entangled by this monster, it is basically impossible to escape. It will only be entangled tighter and tighter, and eventually it will be completely sucked by the straw.

Drain the body fluids from your body, turn it into a corpse and sink to the bottom of the water. The corpses scattered all over the bottom of the water are the best proof.

Compared with this kind of monster disguised as a luminous water plant, those fleshy ball-shaped monsters that swim in the water and are covered with tentacles, with sharp teeth and big mouths at the top of the tentacles, seem much more normal.

These monsters were swimming back and forth in the middle of the river, and they did not dare to approach either side of the river, because the water bottom on both sides of the river was covered with aquatic weed-like monsters. As long as such monsters approached the two ends, the aquatic weed monsters would turn their seemingly weak

The body of the aquatic plant wraps around the prey, dragging it to the bottom of the water and sucking it slowly.

Correspondingly, when those fusiform boats rowed across the water above the aquatic plant monsters, although the aquatic plant monsters also tried to get close to the boat from time to time, with the intention of attacking, in the end they were interfered by some force.

, shrank back again, and the source of this power is the bow stone lantern on every ship.

"Where did you buy this kind of stone lantern?" Leo asked the captain after learning about the situation under the water.

"Buy? Of course it can't be bought." The captain shook his head quickly and said: "This stone lamp was invited from the shaman at the Tatum Altar. Not only is the method of making the stone lamp very special, but also the lamp oil

They are all specially made, and every time you use them up, you have to go to the altar to ask for some more."

Leo could feel the energy fluctuations emanating from the stone lamp, but this energy fluctuation did not come from the stone lamp, but from the lamp oil. He could smell more than a dozen kinds of animal fats and herbs from the smell of the lamp oil.

The smell, but the mixture of these animal fats and herbs is impossible to produce any energy fluctuations, so there must be a special substance hidden in the lamp oil, that is, this special substance can drive away those aquatic monsters.

Thinking of this, Leo stood up, walked to the side of the boat, and put his hand deep into the water.

Seeing Leo's actions, the captain immediately stopped him anxiously: "Don't touch the water. The son of Tatum will think you are a sacrifice and take you away."

"Don't be nervous," Leo didn't say anything. Sylvia gestured to the captain, and then asked Leo, "Did you find something?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious." Leo responded calmly.

At this time, some waterweed monsters seemed to sense his hand, and immediately moved towards him before the boat rowed away, and ignored the threat of weak energy fluctuations on the boat, and soon wrapped around his palm,

and tried to drag him into the water.

The pulling force of the water plants was so strong that the boat tilted slightly. If it were an ordinary person, it would have been pulled into the water long ago.

However, the prey they captured this time was obviously more like a hunter. Before these waterweed monsters could exert their strength again, a powerful force was transmitted from the palms entangled by them and poured into the monster's body. Not only

The bodies and Lilang of all the waterweed monsters were instantly suppressed and imprisoned, and even caused them to break away from their nests at the bottom of the water, and were all pulled out of the water in reverse.

The people on the boat only saw that Leo's palm was entangled with some water plants, and the power of the water plants caused the boat to tilt slightly. The captain took out his sword and tried to cut off the water plants to help Leo escape.

However, before the captain could get closer, Leo had already stood up from the side of the boat, holding a pile of squirming aquatic plants in his hand.

Because the surrounding light was only the light of the stone lantern, the environment was very dim. Everyone saw that Leo was holding water plants in his hands. Only Sylvia and the captain could clearly see that they were monsters that looked like water plants.

"Don't take it over, it looks disgusting!" Although Sylvia was not afraid of this insect-like monster, she also hated it, so she frowned and said.

"This is, this is the son of Tatum!" The captain on the side looked at the monster caught in Leo's hand and recognized the origin of this waterweed monster at a glance. He stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

.

The captain who has been making a living in the waterways all year round knows very well what the Son of Tatum is like. He himself has no good impression of the Son of Tatum, let alone any faith. Just because he has to make a living in the waterway, he must have deep feelings for the Son of Tatum.

There is awe, even if it is pretending, and after so many years, the pretending has gradually turned into reality.

So now that he saw Leo actually pulling Tatum's son out of the water, the old captain was completely filled with panic and confusion, and he felt like something big was going to happen.

However, as the person involved, Leo didn't seem to take this matter to heart. Instead, he looked at the physiological characteristics of these aquatic monsters as if they were the test subjects in his laboratory, and then walked to the stone lamp and placed them.

The son of Tatum in his hand leaned over.

As the Son of Tatum in his hand approached the light range of the stone lamp, the long entangled body of the Son of Tatum immediately began to shrink and dehydrate, shrinking into a ball at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a withered grass.

Group-like.

"Is this thing dead?" Sylvia asked curiously.

"Fake death." Leo shook his head, then turned to the captain who was still stunned and reminded: "You don't need to command the ship anymore?"

"Ah?" The captain then realized and quickly returned to his position, continuing to observe the flame of the stone lantern and directing the direction of the ship. However, when he was free, he still couldn't help his curiosity and looked at Lei from time to time.

Ou and Sylvia looked at it.

The fact that two outsiders can go deep into the wilderness means that they are not simple. Before Leo and Sylvia boarded the ship, the captain had already made an evaluation in his heart, but he thought they were just ordinary people.

Adventurer, he never thought that Leo would be so bold, reaching into the water to catch the son of Tatum in the water.

You know, he has met many famous warriors in the wilderness tribe, and he has also tried to capture the Son of Tatum, because it is said that the Son of Tatum has extraordinary magical power. If it is ground into powder, and then passed through

The Tatum Altar Shaman can use a unique secret method to make an extremely effective dispelling powder.

Dispersing powder is not a rare thing among tribes deep in the wilderness. Many tribes regularly sprinkle some dispersing powder around their settlements. The main function of these dispersing powders is to dispel the snakes, insects, rats, and ants hiding in the jungles around the settlements.

Therefore, this special medicinal powder is a common medicinal powder in almost every tribe, and even tribal hunters will carry this medicinal powder during the hunting season.

However, most of the dispersing powders on the market only dispel some ordinary poisonous insects and animals, and cannot have any effect on extraordinary creatures and mutated monsters. Only a few special dispersing powders can dispel specific extraordinary creatures.

However, the dispelling powder made with Son of Tatum has an extraordinary effect. It can not only dispel common poisonous insects and animals, but also some dangerous extraordinary creatures and mutant monsters. In the words of some jealous people

To put it simply, using this dispelling powder is like smearing a layer of shit on your body that even a god would find disgusting. Just like people will not step on shit, extraordinary creatures and mutated monsters will not take the initiative to approach it.

They're disgusting things.

Although it sounds disgusting, there is no doubt about the effect of this dispersing powder. In a place like the wasteland where extraordinary creatures and mutated monsters are everywhere, a bottle of dispersing powder can often save one's life, so there are related products on the market.

The purchase price of Tatum's son has always been high.

According to the captain's estimation, the value of the son of Tatum, who is currently in the hands of Leo for study, is enough to buy at least twenty of the fusiform ships he has at his feet, and can even be bought in the Holy Mountain.

A residence.

If someone else had taken the Son of Tatum, the captain might have had evil intentions at this moment. He would have snatched the Son of Tatum away, pushed the other party into the water, and completely destroyed the body. No one would know, even if someone knew.

It doesn't matter, just say that the other party slipped and fell into the water. This kind of thing has been done by everyone who makes a living on the wasteland waterways, and the captain is no exception.

But Leo's actions just now made the captain certain that Leo and Sylvia were definitely not ordinary people. If he had done anything, the people who were thrown into the water might not be those two young people, but

they themselves.

So the captain suppressed his greed, tried hard not to look at the Son of Tatum in Leo's hand, and focused his attention on sailing.

Although the captain tried his best to hide his greed, he still couldn't escape the eyes of Leo and Sylvia. Both of them also knew the value of the son of Tatum, so Leo deliberately took the thing in his hand without taking it.

Put it away to test the captain's greed.

Seeing that the captain suppressed his greed, Leo didn't say anything, but casually handed the son of Tatum to Sylvia beside him, and then put his hand into the water to attract those Tatum again.

Son of Mu comes closer.

Later, he used the same method to create a pair of Tatum's sons who were in suspended animation. They repeated the process and captured them six times. Soon, the fence in the guest arrival area where Sylvia and Leo were located was full of people.

The son of Tatum who is in suspended animation.

With so many Sons of Tatum in front of them, everyone who knew the value of Son of Tatum seemed to see a pile of wealth at their fingertips when they saw this scene. Not only did the captain's breathing become more rapid, but even the rowing boat

The breathing of the sailors on the oars also became disordered, the rowing movements were no longer so uniform, and the speed naturally dropped. Soon, a ship passed by the fusiform ship.

"Okay, put them away! Don't affect the schedule." Sylvia looked at the surrounding situation, and then complained to Leo.

Leo smiled and didn't say anything. He found a box and stuffed all the sons of Tatum into it. Then he quickly carved a Turing root on the box and made a small restriction to allow these sons to fake death.
