Under Joe's narration, Leo gradually understood what the Miret disaster was, and also became interested in the cause of the Miret disaster.

Miret was a principality in the inland state of the ancient Novat continent. Its area was not very large, and its territory was all mountainous and had very little arable land. Almost all the food needed to be purchased from outside.

However, even though Miret's land is so barren, the country is very rich. It can even be said that its national wealth is enough to rank among the top ten countries in the Novat continent.

The reason why I am so rich is that there is a special mineral called purple iron in the mountains of Miret. This purple iron is very brittle in nature, and even children can easily break it up, which is not suitable for use alone.

To create any iron tool, but if this purple iron is added to different metals in a certain proportion, it can strengthen the toughness and strength of the metal, and can make an ordinary piece of iron several dozen times harder.

It is precisely because of this strange purple iron that the Principality of Miret can obtain a large amount of benefits from the purple iron trade every year. Only a small part of these benefits can be purchased enough to support the entire Principality.

food.

But such a rich priest died overnight. Except for the residents near the border, almost all the people in the heart of the priest disappeared. No one knew how they disappeared, and more

What is magical is that the purple iron ore that disappeared from the Principality were also there. There were only huge holes left below, and they went deep into the ground and could not be able to explore the boundaries.

Therefore, there are a lot of legends among the people that the Principality was too greedy and excessive mining of purple iron ore, thus awakening the sleeping monsters in purple iron ore. After the monster woke up, it not only ate purple iron ore, but also turned the whole thing.

Everyone in the Principality ate it, and then the folk legend of the Miret disaster emerged.

However, in Joe's investigation, the Miret disaster completely became another matter. When Miret's miners were digging purple iron, they dug out a special crystal accompanied by purple iron, but they did not

Taking this seriously, it is a miracle that indicates that Miret will have a new source of wealth. Grand Duke Miret even sent the largest piece of crystal to various towns in the Principality for a tour to show

The wealth of the Principality.

However, this crystal is not only not a wealth, but a disaster. After a month, all the people who have come into contact with this crystal mutated into monsters. This monster not only ate other people who have not mutated, but also dug out everything.

The crystal and purple iron were eaten, and then they drilled into the mine caves and dug out all the purple iron in the mine to eat. Finally, they ate deeper and deeper until they completely disappeared deeper into the ground.

"How do you know it was the mutation caused by crystal?" Leo asked, "Is there any written record in this regard?"

"No." Joe shook his head and said, "But there is a deformed man in my father's circus who is descended from the Principality of Miret. His ancestors have also been exposed to that kind of crystal, and their bodies have mutated, but they have not completed the mutation.

, but this mutated state has been passed down, and his family passed on this legend from word of mouth."

After hearing this, Leo did not question Qiao's statement anymore. Judging from the brief contact, he could see that Qiao should be a rigorous person and must have gone through other investigations, otherwise he would not have believed this kind of speech so surely.

Oral saying.

Leo asked with a little confusion: "Have you found this kind of crystal in other purple iron ores?"

"I found it, but it's very small, and it's very small." Joe put an aluminum box out of his pocket and opened it to Leo.

At this time, Leo felt that Joe was a little strange. He seemed to care about the various secrets he knew, but instead hoped to tell anyone who was interested.

Leo did not feel any malice about Joe's strange performance, so he didn't care too much, and then looked at the things inside the aluminum box.

I saw that the thing was just a very ordinary transparent crystal, which was about the same size as the fingernail of a child's thumb, and he did not feel any energy fluctuations from the crystal.

"Can I take it out and see?" Although there was nothing strange about the crystal, Leo still felt that the crystal was a little strange, so he asked.

"Yes." Qiao nodded and handed over the box.

Leo twisted the crystal inside the box and placed it in front of him to take a closer look. At this time, he activated his spiritual vision ability.

Although this world has a strong weakening effect on any extraordinary power released from the outside, the spiritual vision ability is obviously one of the extraordinary powers that is no longer weakened. Through the spiritual vision ability, he soon discovered this transparent and pure piece.

There are actually many extremely slight holes inside the crystal. These holes extend from the center toward all directions and penetrate the surface of the crystal, feeling like some extremely tiny creature crawling out of the core area of ​​the crystal.

"Is this what crystal originally looked like?" Leo asked after putting the crystal back into the box.

Hearing Leo's question, Qiao looked at Leo with an excited look and said with a little excitement: "You found out, right? You found something wrong with this crystal, right? I knew that I was not wrong.

, there is really something wrong with the crystal.”

Although Joe did not answer the question, Leo had already known the answer from his emotions, and could also see that he seemed to be extremely eager for a recognized person.

Although the crystal in Joe's hand has no research value, this crystal at least allows Leo to confirm that Joe's view on Miret's disaster may be true. If he could go to Novat, Leo might have

Go to the ruins of the Principality of Miret to see if you can find the companion crystals in Qiao's mouth, but now there is obviously no need to continue delving into it.

So Leo turned to redirect the topic and asked: "You just said that the matter in Matou Bay may be related to the Miret disaster. Do you think that the monsters that secretly attacked Matou Bay were actually also caused by this crystal

The human beings created can be controlled because they are humans?"

"Yes." Jo nodded and said, "This is not a guess, but I saw that I once saw an old man from the Pahoe tribe commanding a man with his lower body,

The upper body is an animal, and a monster with a crocodile head on its head attacks some natives. When the old man commanded the monster, he grabbed a purple iron companion crystal in his hand. I guess that crystal should be the key to commanding the monster."

At this time, a commotion suddenly came from the front of the team, and the team stopped. Everyone around stood on the carriage carrying supplies and looked forward, while the soldiers of the escort team picked up the orders.

Weapon was nervously staring at the surroundings.

Qiao, who was extremely curious, stood on the carriage, unable to see the specific situation ahead. He only saw a bunch of people in front of him, so he jumped out of the carriage, passed through the crowd, and walked towards the place where the accident occurred.

Leo did not follow, but instead looked at the dense jungle on both sides of the road, his vision penetrated the dense jungle plants and fell on the people hiding in the dark to observe the convoy.

A team of ten people wore clothes made of plants and hung various branches and leaves all over their bodies, perfectly disguised as part of the jungle. It has to be said that with existing materials, this disguise has reached its ultimate.

From the moment this ten-person team left Matou Bay, they followed closely and looked at it. This kind of disguise was also very effective.

In fact, there is no need for Qiao to remind him that Leo knew from the beginning that the pioneering team that had just formed would inevitably be attacked, because he discovered the stalker at the beginning, and also knew that there were not only these ten stalkers.

There is also a team of indigenous teams with thousands of people hiding deeper in the jungle.

Last night, the team of thousands tried to attack while the team was being renovated. As a result, the officer in charge of the pioneer regiment seemed to have guessed that it might be attacked, so they arranged enough defensive staff, which made the team of thousands unable to start.

Retreat.

It is obvious that the pioneering regiment formed in Matouwan this time was not formed at will. The officers and generals in charge of the pioneering regiment have rich combat experience in the New World. What kind of living customs do they have for the indigenous tribes of the New World and what kind of civilization did they achieve?

They know nothing about the level, but they know all the attack methods of the indigenous tribes, so they can do the team's defense to the extreme and leave no opportunity for the indigenous peoples in the New World. Even if there is an accident, they should have

There is no defensive warning at all.

Just as Leo observed the indigenous people in the jungle and listened to their conversation through the extraordinary five senses to understand the language system of the indigenous tribe, a middle-aged scholar who had been in the carriage next to him walked to Leo, with no brains.

The Ching Leo reminded: "Although I don't know what you are studying in the New World, I still think you should remind you not to get too close to Dahua Qiao, otherwise your reputation will be ruined, even if you study it

No one will believe any results that come out.”

Leo confirmed, "Big Joe? Are you talking about Mr. Joe Matthew?"

The middle-aged scholar nodded without hesitation and said, "Apart from him, others are not worthy of the name Dahua Qiao."

Leo asked again: "Why does Mr. Joe Matthew have such a reputation?"

"A guy who only knows how to say all kinds of big talk and lies will naturally have such a reputation." The middle-aged scholar responded disdainfully, then looked ahead of the convoy, as if he had discovered something, and did not continue to say anything, then turned around and returned to himself

On the carriage I had been in before, he looked like he had never spoken to Leo at all.

At this time, I saw Qiao walking back from the front, but his face was not very good-looking, as if what happened before had some impact on him.

"What happened before?" Leo asked directly after Qiao came to the front and afterwards.

"It's the human skin battle flag of the Blood Crow Tribe. The human skin that made the battle flag was made of staff who had disappeared from the Matouwan Forest Farm Management Office. It seems that the road ahead is a bit difficult. Blood Crow

The group of madmen in the tribe will definitely launch an attack, regardless of whether the convoy is well defended and alerted, it will be the same for them." Qiao frowned and told his inference, and then he wondered: "As usual, it's like a blood crow."

A tribe with extremely strong attack power, such as a tribe, should attack Matou Bay with the Paho tribe. Why were they sent to attack this newly formed pioneering regiment?"

Leo casually conjectured: "Maybe the pioneer group has something special, and the Blood Crow Tribe's purpose of attacking the pioneer group was to come for that thing."

Qiao heard the words, thought seriously, shook his head again, and said, "If the pioneer group really had something that interested the Blood Crow Tribe, then that thing would definitely be worth the price and would have been sent back to Novat continent long ago.

, I won't stay here at all, and I will leave it to the people of the pioneer group."

"But if even the people of the pioneer regiment know the value of that thing?" Leo retorted: "You said just now that the officers of this pioneer regiment have rich experience in fighting with indigenous tribes, that is,

They have destroyed many indigenous tribes. If they accidentally found some unidentified trophys of value in an indigenous tribe that was destroyed by them, and among those trophys there was something that attracted the Blood Crow Tribe.

?”

Qiao was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Maybe you are right, but even so, we can't do anything now, and they won't believe our speculation."

Just as he was talking, the movement in front seemed to calm down, and the convoy slowly started, but the soldiers around him were no longer as relaxed as before, and seemed to be very alert, looking at the jungle from time to time, as if there would be any at any time.

The enemy rushed out.

"Did that person just said bad things to you?" At this moment, Qiao suddenly asked in a daze.

"I said something." Leo smiled and said, "Big Joe, this reputation is not very good."

"Did you believe his words?" Joe asked, looking a little depressed.

"No." Leo shook his head and said, "I think you should have been misunderstood. What you said to me before will be considered a fabricated lie when you hear it, but I think it should be true.

.”

Qiao's face showed a puzzled look on his face. He looked at Leo and asked, "Why?"

Leo said in a deep voice: "Because I have seen something even more strange, compared to what I have seen, what you said is not worth mentioning."

Qiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and looked at Leo in surprise, feeling like he was looking at another self.

Leo did not give any further explanation, but instead asked Qiao for advice on the language, customs and other aspects of the indigenous tribes in the New World.

In the face of Leo's question, Joe was not stingy with answers, especially in response to indigenous languages. While answering the questions, he also took out his previous research and study notes on indigenous languages ​​and handed them over to Leo.

study.

What surprised Joe was that Leo showed his learning ability beyond his imagination. In the morning, Leo was still a person who knew nothing about the language of the indigenous tribes in the New World. When the pioneer group camped in the evening, Leo would
