"[Gray Zone] is an important area of the current fate event, and flying is prohibited in this area.

"Sure enough......"

In the case of a completely enclosed flight capability.

At a height of more than 1,000 meters, it is naturally impossible for Han Dong to land vertically like this.

Relying on the control of the black sand with his left arm, every ten meters he falls, there is a layer of black sand to help his feet and easily descend.

Immediately before landing.

There is a layer of black sand spread on the landing site in advance to avoid direct contact with Han Dong...... In the case of uncertainty about this gray-sand structure, it is better to be cautious.

It's easier to see the Gray Desert up close than if you were to stand up to a thousand meters in the sky.

Initial testing.

These gray sands are indeed a type of "sand...... But the grains of sand seem to contain other substances, which Han Dong thinks are related to black water.

Moreover, Han Dong always felt that these sand grains were not dead things, and each one was carrying out subtle activities.

When Han Dong tried to control the gray grains of sand, there was no response.

You must know that Han Dong's control over sand magic is not low at all, and the owner of this arm is the high priest of ancient Egypt - Immorton.

"It can't be controlled, which means that all the grains of sand in this desert belong to it, and some powerful being manages the desert.

And ......"

When Han Dong slowly reached out and touched the gray sand on the ground.

The grains of sand, which looked like dead things, immediately stuck to Han Dong's fingers and instantly immersed under the skin.

The distortion has already occurred.

hiss~ The edge of the finger peeled off and grew several tentacles similar to face-hugging insects, and the end was mutated into a sharp-toothed mouth, and Han Dong had already lost control of his fingers.

The mouth on the finger seemed to be very interested in Han Dong's head, and he ran up and down frantically.

Click~

The bones are broken and the skin is about to be torn apart...... The whole distorted finger is about to break away from Han Dong and become an independent individual.

"The invasiveness of these grains of sand is much stronger than the inferior black water in the outer areas."

Han Dong immediately controlled the holy blood flowing between his right arm and gathered in the finger area.

Like a sharp sword, the Holy Blood Cells quickly killed all the mutation factors between the fingers, regaining control of the fingers...... Dull, dull grains of sand are coughed up from the ends of the fingers.

The fingers, which resemble the shape of the face-hugging insects, also gradually return to their original shape, leaving some traces on the surface of the skin that resemble tentacles and mouths.

Han Dong tried to wrap the fabric, metal, and spacesuit around the end of his finger again, and made contact with the sand.

It was found that the metal can effectively block the ingress of sand particles.

"This "Grey Desert" is related to the origin of the Black Water...... As far as I'm concerned, I have to activate the "Holy Blood" to barely resist the aberration, and the main story has not even started to be so troublesome.

However, the fact that metals can be insulated is also good news.

As long as you cover your whole body with "Power Armor", you can move forward in the desert.

If this desert is controlled by a certain being, our arrival should also be seen by 'it'. ”

With Han Dong's message coming back.

The team members slowly descended from the cliffs more than a kilometer high one after another, and put on their armor in advance.

Even so, when the soles of their feet land on the gray sand, they can clearly feel the gray sand particles under their feet squirming slightly, but they can't enter the soles of their feet due to the isolation of metal.

"Miss Mary, you ......"

"This shoddy means of invasion are useless to me."

【Adaptive Field】

As an atavistic entity, Maritis's realm has evolved into a passive skill that can exist at any time without the need for energy support.

There was always a puddle of water around her lower body, which kept her body from coming into direct contact with the desert.

Of course, this ability is also limited, that is, the humidity of the environment is required to exceed a certain limit.

Arid areas lead to a constant loss of water and eventually the dissipation of the field.

But fortunately, there are "water beads" prepared by Han Dong in advance, and the large amount of water in the beads can last for at least a week...... As long as there is no violent battle, this amount of moisture is enough to support her to reach the Divine Capital.

Although Mary's curly hair covered her face, her words were full of disdain for the group of humans.

But there was a little touch in her heart, she couldn't understand how such a water attribute bead came from, why did Han Dong carry such a treasure without water attributes...... Could it have been prepared for her in advance?

The more I thought about it, the stranger it became, and from time to time I would sneak a glimpse at this young man who was both a human and a demon messenger.

Imagining last night's suspected mating behavior made Miss Marytis, who had often watched others mate but had never tasted the forbidden fruit herself, to have the slightest idea of wanting to mate.

Han Dong was temporarily placed on her list of mating partners, and she was also the only one selected for the list.

……

Before leaving, Mary asked again, "How do you find [Shendu]?" ”

Han Dong showed a reassuring expression, "I have found a way, I initially suspect that this desert has its own life...... Every grain of sand has life.

Or rather, there is some high-level being that controls the entire desert.

We only need to find the direction of vitality, and we will definitely find the entrance to the divine capital. ”

"Living desert?" Mary looked into the distance with the "eyes of the toad", and indeed felt that the desert resembled a gray worm, as if it was in a state of sleep.

Han Dong's eyes were completely opened.

Under the vision of the [Magic Eye], you can glimpse the rich gradient of life in the desert.

All the staff followed Han Dong's discovery and moved forward quickly in "travel mode".

There are no oases in the Grey Desert, and occasionally you can see some heavily weathered ancient buildings, not in the ancient Egyptian style, but a kind of alien architecture with a strong biotechnological color.

Such buildings can be seen about every kilometer.

Whenever a sandstorm comes, you can take refuge in this unusually sturdy alien structure.

Even on the second day of his journey, Han Dong found an abandoned city...... It's about the size of an average small town on Earth.

Sensing a powerful storm of life, the team of five took refuge in the town's most sturdy, chapel-like domed building.

The interior of the building is well preserved and does not contain words and patterns left behind by extraterrestrial life.

Similarly, Han Dong saw a similar "mural" - a form of alien-like being carved into the center of the wall in the image of the crucifixion of Jesus.

At this time, Demps dropped a finger on Han Dong's back and looked at the mural in the building together.

"Nicholas, you're really going to choose...... This fateful event is for you. ”

"How?"

"Each [True Destiny] has its own unique characteristics.

In terms of what we have seen so far, the characteristics of this "medium-scale world of destiny" are "life", "mutation" and "desert".

All three characteristics are relevant to you.

You can try to carry out the corresponding "identity assessment" in "Prometheus", or the highest level of "identity assessment", which will help all of us to survive and maximize our benefits.

Of course, the difficulty will also be high...... After all, we're labeled as aliens this time. ”

"Identity test?" It was the first time Han Dong had heard such a term.

Demps explained simply, "It's like Captain Marlon passed the extremely difficult Demon King Trial in the super-large destiny world [Hell], and became the first Hell Demon King in history to wear the crown of a king as an outsider.

In the world corresponding to every real destiny, there is a corresponding identity assessment.

It allows you to gain status and privileges in the current world, and even allows you to stay in touch with this world in the future.

That's how the Knights of Hell came about.

With the privilege of Captain Marlon, you can directly transport the team members to [Limbo (Hell Frontier)" for special hell training and obtain demonic power.

If Nicholas can obtain a similar status, in the future, when you are strong enough, you may be able to apply to the Council for the Fourteenth Order with the help of "World Connection" and the dominant "Destiny Identity". ”

"Haha, it's too far away...... However, if that day comes, Demps you will be my deputy head of the regiment. ”

"You can think about it."

While Han Dong smiled awkwardly, he also thought that what Demps said was very interesting.

The so-called identity assessment also exists in [Ridley Town], where Han Dong first came into contact.

Participants can also pass the assessment from the mayor to become a resident of Drew, or even the Ten Demons, and establish a connection with Drew.

However, Han Dong is already the majority shareholder of Ridley Town, and his status is almost equivalent to that of a clerk.

Staring at the wall, the image of the "Passion of Christ" with aliens as the main body, and the gray sand storm raging outside the building.

While Han Dong was deep in thought, the corners of his mouth also turned up slightly.
