Chapter 575 The Tail

Leo looked back.

"What's wrong?" Mahan asked.

"I'm feeling uneasy," Leo replied, frowning. "I have a feeling that someone is following us."

"Then ask your green-eyed friends," Mahan said. "They're very good at tracking and counter-tracking, and if what you say is true, they'll definitely be able to detect something."

“I’ve already asked them,” Leo replied, “but they said they didn’t sense anything coming from behind them.”

"If they can't detect it, where does the aura you can sense come from?"

Leo was also unaware of this.

However, he trusted his intuition.

If there is anything that sets Leo apart from others, it is that he is an extraordinary being.

He possesses the ability to enter into contracts with people, and his contracts may also connect him to those supreme and great beings.

Unfortunately, those powers were so great that they were almost too greedy, so that every time Leo used his power, he inevitably had to pay a price.

Could it be that his power brought him this feeling?

With that thought in mind, Leo immediately used his power to observe what was behind him.

Thin blue tentacle-like lines formed in his pupils.

They settled in one place and actually developed their own writing system.

Leo was very surprised; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Only when the words were arranged into coherent sentences did Leo realize that this was also a contract.

However, it was a contract initiated by a great being.

And what that contract desires seems to be right behind Leo.

Leo was shocked that such great beings were so eager for something that they were even willing to lower themselves and offer to trade with him.

What exactly is that thing?

Even if Leo couldn't find out the answer, one thing was very clear: something was indeed following him!

Leo carefully read the contract and discovered that the thing was called "Dragon Crystal".

This was clearly the name of a mineral, but Leo had never heard of it before.

All he knew was that dragons were creatures that had gone extinct long ago.

If that's the case, then something like dragon crystal should be very rare.

Those who possess dragon crystals are undoubtedly in extreme danger.

Leo urged quickly, "Hurry up, there's definitely something following us!"

Mahan immediately clutched his machine gun tightly, looking uneasy. "Don't scare me, Mr. Leo. How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Believe me," Leo said, "and it's dangerous."

"Oh! It must be because you violated some taboo on the island that those things are targeting you, like—oh, right, you came into contact with the stone-skinned parrot."

"That's not a parrot, that's a person," Leo said.

He firmly believed, at least, that long ago, the other person must have been a single person.

For some reason, she turned into a parrot.

She seemed to have been transformed, losing herself and leaving only a mission.

Leo could sense her sorrow and helplessness regarding her fate.

What's even more tragic is that everything may have been her own choice.

When Leo saw the stone-skinned parrot, he naturally asked some questions.

He never forgot his purpose in coming to the island: to find the possible legacy of the Justinian family.

Or rather, the purpose of the Scarlet Prince guiding his descendants to this island.

However, when Leo asked the stone-skinned parrot this question, the parrot replied that it could not decipher human thoughts.

When Leo asked if the Crimson Prince had left anything on the island, or if there was any legacy, the prince replied, "He left many things, but no legacy."

This is a contradictory answer. If the other party left behind a lot of things, why say that no inheritance was left?

Doesn't an inheritance belong to what the other party leaves behind?

Leo simply couldn't understand it.

However, after Leo asked some questions, he sensed that the parrots around him became restless.

This was a dangerous sign, and Leo quickly led his team away.

He speculated that prolonged contact with the stone-skinned parrots could likely cause some unusual phenomena on the island.

Just to be on the safe side, Leo led the group to retreat.

Anyway, they had been on the island for quite some time, and they had also determined the exact location of the Stone-skinned Parrot.

If you have any further questions for the stone-skinned parrot, feel free to come back anytime.

The most important thing now is to establish a firm foothold.

But why did it still attract that damned tail?

A tracker capable of evading the senses of Apache and others must be extremely dangerous.

By the way, there's nothing on this island that isn't dangerous!

Leo urged, "Speed ​​up! They're close!"

Such persistent tracking often implies a very strong purpose, or even malice.

Leo truly couldn't predict what kind of danger he would encounter.

The group moved quickly, and Leo could even feel his breathing becoming rapid.

The parrots chirped and chattered, and the old tree had gnarled and twisted roots.

Just then, with a "whoosh," an arrow shot out from beside their feet.

From that moment on, everyone trembled with fear and hurriedly turned their heads to search for the attacker!

It couldn't be any animal that uses feathered arrows!

Leo shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

"You don't need to tell me," Shirley replied.

She also picked up that bulky mechanical gun, which looked like a stark contrast to her slender figure.

However, after one arrow, the opponent showed no further reaction.

What's going on?

Could it be that the other side only intends to shoot one arrow?

But what's the point of doing this other than alerting the enemy?

Just then, Navajo squatted down to examine the arrow, and immediately frowned, saying, "Look, the material of this arrow is somewhat special."

Upon hearing this, Leo also examined it and found that it appeared to be made of some kind of scales.

"They must have some ulterior motive," Leo said warily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt the ground shake.

He knew what kind of vibration it was, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.

"A worm!" Leo shouted, "A giant worm is coming!"

But this is too much of a coincidence! Right after that arrow arrived, the giant worm approached this spot—

Unless—it was this very arrow that lured them here?!

As Leo came up with this answer, a host of ideas immediately popped into his head.

He first shouted, "Get away from that arrow!"

Everyone jumped back immediately—but just then, a giant worm indeed emerged from that spot.

Just as the group had settled into their positions and were not yet firmly planted, three more arrows were suddenly shot at them.

Two of them killed two of Leo's crew members, while the other was spotted and dodged by Apache in time!

The two men died on the spot.

Leo understood that the visitor was up to no good.

And the other party actually managed to attract these worms?!

Leo suddenly realized something.

Anyone who can utilize the giant worm must have an extremely deep understanding of this island.

Furthermore, the Stone-skinned Parrot's previous answer to Leo was that the Crimson Prince did indeed leave behind many things, but no legacy whatsoever.

There is one situation that can satisfy both conditions at the same time: the Crimson Prince is not dead!

If that legendary figure from thousands of years ago were alive today...

Therefore, he must know this island very well.

At this moment, Leo was absolutely convinced of this answer.

Leo shouted, "Could it be His Excellency Justinian, the Scarlet Prince, Ferdinand Justinian!"

The air was completely silent.

Shirley demanded, "What's wrong with you?"

However, Leo remained unmoved: "I am your descendant, sent by John Justinian of Sun City."

Wait a little longer.

A figure appeared in everyone's sight—
