Chapter 1196 Capture the Son of Tatum

The helmsman of the shuttle boat that Leo and Sylvia were on was obviously a veteran. Before the lighthouse signal came out, he had already let the oarsmen row the boat, and easily found a passage through the blocking ships ahead. , followed by another shuttle-shaped boat drilled out of the waters of the dock area one after the other.

"That's a boat with grass. Didn't he come back not long ago? He ran out again. Could it be that there is some big deal?" When the captain hung a stone lamp on the bow, the shuttle-shaped boat behind just passed by. Drilling aside, the distance between the two was opened at an extremely fast speed, and the captain also saw the appearance of the ship clearly, and couldn't help but wondered.

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

"No, Lucao is a nickname, and the owner of that ship is our tax collector." The captain didn't have any worries, and his tone was full of disdain, explaining: "As long as something like Lucao gets close Will hug him in his arms, even if it is a ball of fire, our tax official has such a character."

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions, because they already knew that the tax official left Sobanth overnight, which might have something to do with them.

After the shuttle boat gradually moved away from Sobanth, the captain did not intend to talk to the two guests behind him. His eyes were always fixed on the stone lamp in front of him. Fast rotation, etc., the captain will react immediately, wave the flag in his hand with a certain semaphore, and notify the helmsman behind to change the course of the shuttle-shaped ship.

Sylvia, who was also sitting on the bow, looked at the stone lantern hanging on the bow with some curiosity. Although it was only the first time she had seen this stone lantern, she could already tell from the captain's actions There is no doubt that the stone lamp is a shaman wonder, and its function should be to judge the situation at the bottom of the water, and tell the user where there is danger at the bottom of the water through the change of the flame.

Unlike Sylvia, Leo didn't have much interest in stone lanterns. He cared more about the things in the water. When the boat sailed into the river, he extended his spiritual net to the bottom of the water to monitor the situation at the bottom. And before Shi Deng discovered the abnormality, he first discovered the monster in the water.

"Which one is the mutated monster, and which one is the son of Tatum?" After distinguishing the monsters in the water, Leo couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

The reason for this doubt is that Leo found that the two largest groups of monsters hidden under the water are like mutant monsters, not only in shape, but also in energy fluctuations.

One of these monsters is a monster similar to glowing water plants. The light in the water seen on the water surface also comes from this monster. Although it looks like water plants, in fact this monster is not a plant, but a kind of bug-like Monster, this kind of monster is covered with barbs around its body, and there are straws on each barb, as long as it is entangled by this monster, it is basically impossible to escape. Drain the bodily fluids from his body and sink into the bottom of the water as a corpse. The corpses all over the bottom of the water are the best proof.

Compared with this kind of monsters disguised as glowing water plants, those fleshy ball-shaped monsters swimming in the water covered with tentacles, and the tops of the tentacles are all sharp teeth and big mouths, look much more normal.

These monsters are swimming back and forth in the middle of the river, not daring to get close to the sides of the river, because the water bottom on both sides of the river is full of aquatic monsters, as long as these monsters are close to the ends, the aquatic monsters will take their seemingly weak The aquatic plants entangled their bodies, entangled their prey tightly, and dragged them into the bottom of the water to slowly suck their food.

Correspondingly, when those shuttle-shaped boats were gliding across the water above the aquatic plant monsters, although the aquatic plant monsters tried to get close to the boat from time to time, with the intention of attacking, but in the end they were disturbed by some force. , Shrunk back again, and the source of this power is the bow stone lamp on every ship.

"Where did you buy this stone lamp?" Leo asked the captain after learning about the underwater situation.

"Buy? Of course it can't be bought." The captain quickly shook his head and said, "This stone lamp was invited from the shaman at the Tatum altar. Not only is the stone lamp made in a very special way, but even the lamp oil They are all specially made, and you need to go to the altar to ask for some more every time you run out.”

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 However, it is impossible to produce any energy fluctuations when these animal fats and herbs are mixed together, so there must be a special substance hidden in this lamp oil, that is, this special substance can disperse those aquatic monsters.

Thinking of this, Leo stood up, walked to the side of the boat, and plunged his hands 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 anything?"

"It's nothing but curiosity." Leo responded calmly.

At this time, some aquatic monsters seemed to sense his hand, and immediately approached him before the boat rowed away, ignoring the threat of the weak energy fluctuation on the boat, and soon entwined around his palm, And tried to drag him into the water.

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

However, the prey they caught this time was obviously more like a hunter. Before the aquatic monsters could exert their strength again, a powerful force was transmitted from their entangled palms and poured into the monster's body, not only The bodies of all the aquatic plant monsters and Lilang were instantly suppressed and imprisoned, and even made them break away from their root broods at the bottom of the water, and they were all pulled out of the water in the opposite direction.

The people on the boat only saw that Leo's palm was entangled by some water plants, and the force of the water plants caused the boat to tilt slightly. The captain drew out his waist knife and tried to cut off the water plants to help Leo get out of trouble.

However, before the captain approached, Leo had already stood up from the side of the boat, holding a bunch of wriggling aquatic plants in his hand.

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

"Don't take it here, it looks disgusting!" Although Sylvia was not afraid of this worm-like monster, she 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 hands, and recognized the origin of this aquatic monster at a glance, and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do .

The captain who has been living in the waterway all year round knows what the son of Tatum looks like. He himself does not have any affection for the son of Tatum, nor does he have any beliefs. Be in awe, even if it's fake, and over the years, the fake has gradually become real.

So now that Leo actually pulled Tatum's son out of the water, the old captain was completely panicked and overwhelmed, and felt like something big was about to happen.

It's just that, as the person involved, Leo didn't seem to take this matter to heart, but checked the physiological characteristics of these aquatic monsters like those in his laboratory, and then walked to the side of the stone lamp, The son of Tatum in his hand leaned over.

I saw that as the son of Tatum in his hand approached the light range of the stone lamp, the long and 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 dead grass Like a group.

"Is this thing dead?" Sylvia asked curiously.

"Fake death." Leo shook his head, then turned to the captain who was still in a daze, and reminded: "Don't you need to command the ship?"

"Ah?" Only then did the captain come to his senses, and quickly returned to his position, continuing to observe the flames of the stone lanterns, directing the direction of the ship, but when he was free, he still couldn't help being curious, and looked at Lei from time to time. Ou and Sylvia looked at it.

The ability of two outsiders to go deep into the wilderness itself represents the difficulty of the two of them. Before Leo and Sylvia boarded the boat, the captain had already made an evaluation in his heart, but he thought the two 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 seen many well-known warriors in the wilderness tribes, and he has also tried to capture the son of Tatum, because the son of Tatum has extraordinary magical powers, if it is ground into powder, and then passed Tatum altar shaman can make a kind of excellent dispersing powder by using a unique secret method.

Dispersing powder is not a rare thing in the tribes deep in the wasteland. Many tribes regularly sprinkle some dispersing powder around the settlements. The main function of these dispersing powders is to disperse the snakes, insects, rats and ants hidden in the jungle around the settlements. Therefore, this special medicinal powder is a regular medicinal powder for almost every tribe, and even tribal hunters will carry this medicinal powder during the hunting period.

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

However, the dispersing powder made with Tatum's son has an extraordinary effect. Not only can it disperse common poisonous insects and animals, but it can even disperse some dangerous supernatural creatures and mutant monsters. In the words of some envious people To put it simply, using this kind of dispersing powder is like smearing a layer of shit that even gods would feel disgusting on their body. Just like people don't take the initiative to step on shit, extraordinary creatures and mutant monsters won't take the initiative to approach and make people feel sick. They are disgusting things.

Although it is a bit disgusting to say, the effect of this kind of dispersing powder is naturally beyond doubt. In a place like the wasteland where extraordinary creatures and mutated monsters are everywhere, a bottle of dispersing powder can save one's life in many cases, 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 fake-dead Son of Tatum that Leo is now studying is enough to buy at least twenty of the shuttle-shaped boats under his feet, and they can even be bought in the Holy Mountain a residence.

If someone else was holding the sons of Tatum, the captain might have developed a malicious intention at this moment, snatched the sons of Tatum away, pushed the other party into the water, and completely destroyed the corpse and wiped out the traces. No one would know, even if someone knew It doesn't matter, just say that the other party stumbled and fell into the water. This kind of thing has been done by people who make a living on the wasteland waterway, and the captain is no exception.

But what Leo did just now made the captain sure that Leo and Sylvia were definitely not ordinary people. If he did 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 not to look at the sons of Tatum in Leo's hands, 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. The two of them also knew the value of this group of Tatum's sons, so Leo deliberately took the things in his hands and didn't take them away. Put it away and test the captain's greed.

Seeing that the captain had suppressed his greed, Leo didn't say anything, but handed the Son of Tatum to Sylvia, and then put his hand in the water again, attracting those Tatum's sons again. The son of Mu leaned over.

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

With so many sons of Tatum in front of each other, all those who understand the value of sons of Tatum saw this scene as if they saw a pile of wealth at their fingertips. Not only did the captain's breathing become a lot faster, but even the boat The breathing of the sailors who were paddling also became disordered, and their paddling movements were no longer so uniform, and the speed naturally dropped accordingly, and soon a ship passed by the shuttle-shaped ship.

"Okay, put them away! Don't affect the itinerary." Sylvia looked around and said something to Leo in a complaining manner.

Leo smiled and didn't say anything. He found a box by himself and stuffed all the sons of Tatum into it. Then he quickly carved a root of Turing on the box and made a small prohibition to let these fake deaths The son of Tatum has no possibility of waking up.
