Extra: Wherever the eyes of the Dark Continent go (1)
Map of the world known to mankind——
In fact, it is just located on a huge lake called Lake Mobius in the center of the Dark Continent.
According to statistics from the Ferry Licensing Office, there are 149 Dark Continent Ferry Challenges that have left exact records in history.
Only 5 of the challenge operations had survivors return, and the number of survivors was 28.
But as time goes by, there are only a few survivors of the Dark Continent Challenge operation still alive.
Among these records, the most valuable ones are undoubtedly the several crossing operations that directly involved "disaster and hope".
On the steep mountains located on the northeastern coast of Lake Mobius in the Dark Continent, a type of ore called unmanned stone can be mined that generates electricity simply by sinking it into the water.
But that area is the territory of "Pappu, the nurturing beast".
In order to explore the entire route, the United Nations sent a 1,000-person investigation team into the mountains, but in the end only seven people came back and found nothing.
From the landing site just north of Lake Mobius, you only need to travel four hundred kilometers inland to reach an ancient labyrinth city with a very modern atmosphere.
The large-scale special forces dispatched by the United States of Sahelta were attacked by gold and silver ingots of plant weapons here. In the end, only two people survived.
In the southeast direction of Lake Mobius, proceed in a straight direction and you will arrive at a swamp where the longevity food Nitolomi grows.
The Ochima Federation chose this challenge route and sent a large force of 1,100 people, but 99% of the people became prey to the Hell Ringing Twin-Tailed Snake.
After these crossing operations became a written record, the Mingbo Republic chose an alternative route and dispatched a force of up to 2,000 men.
But in the end, they still returned empty-handed, and in the end only three people survived.
Moreover, these three people were suspected of being affected by some kind of creature. Although they came back alive, they were all mentally disturbed and died soon after.
This is the official record of the Dark Continent Crossing Challenge that can be used as a reference.
In addition, there are actually some unofficial ferry records.
for example--
A team of three people.
The members of this team are:
Isaac Nitro, the 13th generation president of the Hunter Association.
Two-star food hunter Linnie Oldberg.
Beat up the enemy Hakka killer Jaeger·beat up the enemy Hakka.
"Isaac, can you stop taking a bite of everything you see?"
The dark night shrouded the sky. In an open-air cave, Lin Nie, who looked somewhat similar to Bisji Lolita, frowned.
On the ground in front of her, there were several white stones piled up.
Wisps of blue flames are generated directly from the surface of the stone, and then converge into a ball of flame.
A bunch of fist-sized bugs were placed above the flames, and they were baked under high temperatures and exuded traces of golden-yellow oil stains.
In his prime, Nitro sat opposite Lin Nie, staring directly at the insects with bright stripes that were about to be roasted, and did not hear Lin Nie's complaints at all.
Seeing that Nitro didn't react at all, Lin Nie had veins popping up on his forehead. He raised his hand and gathered his mind power, picked up a white stone next to him and threw it at Nitro in front of him.
As soon as the white stone left Lin Nie's hand, a large ball of blue flames burst out, seemingly due to the contact with telekinesis.
Nitro suddenly came back to his senses and raised his hand to fly away the oncoming stone wrapped in blue flames.
"It's a very dangerous thing."
After slapping the stone away, Nitro blew a few breaths into his palm.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the flaming stone he slapped away happened to fly towards Jaeger, who was studying the ferry records nearby.
Jaeger's attention was focused on the ferry records at this time, and he was completely unaware of the flaming stone flying straight towards him.
But just when the flaming stone was about to hit Jaeger's head, Jaeger's left hand suddenly turned into an afterimage. In just one glance, the flaming stone was cut into dozens of pieces.
Ta-ta-
White stone fragments were scattered on the ground, and the raging blue flames gradually extinguished.
But the instigator, Jaeger, didn't even raise his head, his eyes were fixed on the ferry record in his hand.
Nitro glanced at Jaeger, who was not affected at all, then looked at Lin Nie, drooping his eyelids and said: "Lin Nie, can't you be gentler?"
"roll."
Lin Nie's Kazilan's big eyes glared fiercely.
Nitro shrugged, not caring at all about Lin Nie's fierce attitude.
Seeing Nitro being so heartless, Lin Nie cursed the stinky strengthening system in his heart, and then said viciously:
"Nitro, I wasn't reminding you just now, I was warning you. Where do you think this is?"
"Anything you think is edible may carry deadly toxins and germs, so can you please be more careful!!! Even if you are very hungry, can you let me take a look before you eat!!!
"
"Also, do you know what the flaws of our team are?!!"
"It's a doctor! We are short of a doctor!!! Do you know what this means!!?"
"Don't you think that just relying on Jaeger's half-hearted first aid measures can save you from any worries?!!"
"I beg you, can you remove all the muscles in your brain!!!"
Lin Nie became more and more angry as he talked. Originally there was only one blue vein on his forehead, but now there are five.
Nitro nodded frequently, but his eyes were still staring at the roasted insects on the flame.
After waiting for Lin Nie to finish speaking, he quickly pointed at the roasted bug and said anxiously: "It's almost burnt."
"?"
Lin Nie's breath suddenly stopped, and then he hit Nitro with an old punch on the head.
Bang!
A muffled sound came from the not spacious open-air cave.
Jaeger, who was reading the information carefully, was suddenly startled and looked blankly at Nitro, who had a red swelling on his forehead. He had no idea what was going on.
"Huh?"
Then he looked at the gravel on the ground in front of him, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
He remembered that there were no such stones before.
Forget it, these are all things not worth paying attention to.
Jaeger shook his head, put the information in his hand aside, then looked at Nitro and Lin Nie, and said seriously: "I looked through all the ferry records, but I didn't see any records about 'that look'."
"Yeah……"
Lin Nie frowned slightly.
After giving Nitro a punch, her whole mood became lighter.
When I hear Jaeger's words, I will inevitably feel bad.
Just four days ago,
They passed through a lifeless black soil forest, and then they could feel a gaze from behind from time to time.
But no matter what countermeasures were taken, they could not figure out the source of the gaze and its true identity.
The only thing I can feel is that the eyes are getting closer and closer...
Nitro and Jaeger's "feelings" were quite good. Their attitudes were basically the same. They believed that when they couldn't figure it out despite their best efforts, they just had to wait for "that gaze" to come to them.
At that time, the two of them will use force to solve the problem.
But for the woman Lin Nie, it was very unfriendly...
Let alone taking a shower, just the convenience alone makes me feel uncomfortable.
"What kind of shameful thing is it..."
Lin Nie gritted his teeth.
The seventh day of Operation Crossing.
I don't have the habit of keeping a diary.
But I'm not sure if I can go back, maybe I should leave something behind.
Today is the seventh day of landing, and everything is normal as we head south.
We walked through a wasteland, and the annoying thing was that the sun above our heads never set.
The eighth day of the crossing operation.
The water we carried began to become scarce. Fortunately, the barren land was finally left behind.
We came to a forest.
Thanks Asa!
But the color of this forest land is disturbing.
It's too dark.
Like ink...
We need to find a source of drinkable water.
The ninth day of Operation Crossing.
Great, the members of the advance team found an underground spring.
This is the first time I have seen such clear water.
Thanks Asa!
Sufficient water makes the haze disappear.
The leader decided to rest for a day near the spring. I think we are closer to our destination.
The tenth day of Operation Crossing.
After realizing the difficulty of replenishing water sources, we decided to carry more water sources.
This will affect our travel speed, but we think it is necessary.
Before setting off today, I saw three crows perched on a black coral-like tree trunk. They were so dark that I almost didn't notice them.
Very magical.
It turns out that there are crows in such a ghost place.
Day 11 of Operation Crossing.
This dark forest is so quiet...
The crow is far away from us.
They don't seem to be able to chirp.
This is good.
I didn't want to hear that ominous scream.
Day 12 of Operation Crossing.
Finally got out of that damn lonely forest.
The water source brought out from there is still sufficient. In the next week, at least there is no need to worry about water problems.
We can move faster...
The thirteenth day of the crossing operation.
Is there a pair of eyes staring at me?
My nerves seem to be too sensitive.
The fourteenth day of the crossing operation.
No!
There is really a pair of eyes staring at me.
But no matter how I looked back, I couldn't find the owner of those eyes.
I don't want to be at the back of the line anymore.
I applied to the team leader for a transfer.
But the team leader rejected me.
She didn't believe what I said.
I think--
Maybe she's right.
The long march made me tired.
The fourteenth day of the crossing operation.
Is it really because I'm under too much mental stress?
But I took the medicine assigned by the team doctor on time...
Why, that gaze is closer to me, this is too bad.
I feel something is wrong.
But why am I the only one...
Day 15 of Operation Crossing.
We finally arrived at our destination, about three days faster than expected.
This is exciting.
But what I'm more happy about is that that gaze is finally gone.
The only regret is...
Why are they missing?
Snapped.
Jaeger closed the handwritten book that he pulled out from the crack in the stone.
"We also drank from the water there."
With that said, Jaeger handed the handwritten book to Lin Nie.
Lin Nie took the writing book left by the deceased, let out a long breath, and then said seriously: "That gaze is also very close to us..."
"It doesn't matter, because I'm here."
Nitro gently turned his wrist, his expression was particularly serious.
Jaeger and Lin Nie glanced at Nitro subconsciously, but they felt a little relieved.
"I'm only curious about one thing now."
Lin Nie suddenly raised the handwritten book with a stained cover and said word by word:
"Isn't the timing of this diary's appearance too coincidental... and is it too easy for us to discover?"
"..."
Jaeger and Nitro looked at each other.
Then I heard Lin Nie continue:
"Is it 'real'?"
"..."
My cousin won the gold medal and returned home today...
I went to work for a long time, and my little body almost collapsed.
I’m too tired, so that’s it for now. I’ll update the main story tomorrow.
