Three bio-wasteland-style transporters are speeding across the polar ice.

Each transporter was loaded with a full crate, no more, no less.

The transporter was made on site by members of the expedition.

The transporter is mainly composed of a biological core and a magnet shell:

Biology: A cerebral cockpit with a consciousness detector (through the synapses in the cockpit, it can control changes in any fleshy area of the transporter), and a row of "muscle tentacles" engines in series.

This part was produced by a female engineer with an obese body in the team.

Magnet part: The outer shell of the transporter, spiked tires, give protection and can move steadily on the glacier.

The one who supplied the magnet material was naturally the strong man who received Han Dong and others.

Because Han Dong officially cooperated with their expedition, this person also said his real name - Gaunt. Deep rock.

Three transporters move forward in a straight line.

The vehicle driven by Gaunt was carrying Han Dong and the others, sandwiched in the safest middle position.

Because the biomass vision system in the cab also has the function of consciousness detection, Gaunt. Deep Rock also took off his metal diving helmet, revealing its physical features for the first time.

reveals a head made up of regular magnets, and lithified tentacles are arranged in strips on the surface.

The glass-like one-eyed inlaid in the middle of the rock formation, and the cave-like mouth made Han Dong inexplicably reminded Han Dong of Brother Green.

The grade is mature.

Of course, Han Dong and his entourage shielded and suppressed their own aura as early as when they met, and they were also mature.

The same.

Han Dong also removed the crow's coat and presented it in front of Gaunt's eyes in a human form.

"Sure enough, you all have human genes in your bodies...... No wonder, how can a mature body like you with average strength and feeling be a deep sea envoy, it turns out that you belong to the [Mixed Race Family].

Was it because of the exploration of the destiny space that he was given the identity of the messenger? ”

There was a clear contempt in Gaunt's words, perhaps not from his intentions.

"Yes." Han Dong nodded.

"Emissary, we will have to drive at least two days to reach Roshan, if you are bored, you can take a look at the scenery outside...... There aren't many people who have gone as deep into Antarctica as we do. ”

Gaunt hooked a bent tendon of the control panel with his free right hand.

Smack!

A fleshy hose similar to a periscope descended in front of Han Dong's eyes.

The suction cup-shaped opening can be precisely attached to the eyeball, and the visual image from the outside world is input for Han Dong.

It is no longer the white Antarctic ice in my impression.

The first thing that catches your eye is a frozen corpse standing on the ice.

In Han Dong's view, this kind of subjective consciousness imaging of the "possessed monster" is all humanoid, and even presents some subconscious characters, including the students Han Dong taught in school before his death, and even the passers-by he met.

This time, Han Dong observed more carefully...... I actually read a sense of despair on these [frozen corpse] faces.

During the journey towards Black Roshan, the expedition will occasionally stop to catch some good quality "possessed monsters".

Besides.

The glacier floor also has a number of uplifted black lumps, up to which they can be described as 'small hills', which are derivatives of Roshan on the edge of Antarctica.

Although the main body of Roshan is presented in the center, in fact, its whole body covers the entire Antarctic.

"What is Roshan?" Han Dong wanted to hear the answer from the expedition.

"It is a large kingdom created by the ancients in Antarctica, and it once corresponded to the highest level of land deeds...... It was once one of the most powerful countries on Earth when it was not hit by a cataclysm.

Even if the title deed is destroyed, this Roshan is still functioning normally, and even growing slowly.

It is precisely because of the existence of Roshan that the stability of the Antarctic can be ensured...... Ahem, ahem! ”

Gaunt. When Deep Rock said this, he suddenly coughed.

Coughing may be a normal phenomenon for humans, but it is an unnatural condition for aliens, and it is very likely that something is wrong with the body.

"Strange ......"

Gaunt immediately did a physical examination and found no problems.

However, Han Dong, who was sitting on the side, observed that when he coughed just now, a little green breath overflowed from his mouth.

Considering Eukins' request to go with the group, Han Dong thought of an unsettling situation.

"Mr. Gaunt, the Possessed Monsters that remain here aren't really a threat, are they?

As far as you are concerned, both the observation equipment and the capture device are already very perfect, and it seems that you can deal with these things very easily.

Is the main reason why this place is called a forbidden area because of Roshan? ”

"Yes.

From the point of view of us and other explorers, the "possessed monster" is an experimental material, and with a little care, it will not be too dangerous.

The real danger is Roshan - the forsaken kingdom of the ancients.

Even though we are often active in Antarctica, we have never really entered the core of Roshan, and we are just collecting things that can be exchanged for money in the [Meat Layer Zone].

Let me tell you one more thing.

Our squad was not always fixed, initially we had twenty people...... The only people who really survived until now were me, Lebinser and Akin.

The rest of the personnel joined later.

Since it is your first time here, Messenger, you must follow me well when we enter the mountain, and do not have the idea of acting on your own. ”

"Understood."

In this way, the transporter drove on the ice field for three whole days.

As the main body of Roshan gets closer to the center of the Polar Circle, its connection with the outside world is also decreasing...... Small ridge-like mountains or tall black fleshy towers that stand alone above the ice sheets are also beginning to appear.

In addition, there is an extremely strange sight.

In the area of the ice field near the main body of Roshan, I saw some possessed explorers.

Most of them lie on the surface of the mountain, gnawing on the meat for years, if not decades.

This also led to a result - [hypertrophy]

Possessed demons that eat without stopping and do not move.

As a result, their limbs and external tentacles are severely degenerated, and their stomach pouches and stomachs are constantly enlarged and become extremely hypertrophied in order to be able to hold the black meat they constantly consume.

On average, the belly of the possessed person reached ten times the size of a normal individual.

The belly of some of the alien demons is comparable to a single-family villa, and it is even combined with Roshan to turn into a unique landscape on Roshan.

According to Gaunt's explanation, this was because the "possessed monsters" had thought of the only way to escape Antarctica.

They believe that Roshan is the backbone of the membrane barrier...... And the only thing they can do is eat Roshan by eating.

It's a pity that Roshan's growth rate is far faster than the eating rate.

When I heard this explanation, a sense of "hopelessness" came over me...... Han Dong couldn't help but feel a little pity for this group of 'frozen corpses'.

"We're ......"

With Gaunt's reminder.

The majestic main body of Roshan has come into view, and it is quite different from the small hills, ridged mountains, or protrusions that have proliferated.

The main body of Roshan has existed since prehistoric times, and it has been built and polished by the ancients, and there is no fleshy texture on the outside, but a texture between metal and rock, like an impregnable giant castle.

There are also oddly shaped geological formations in the foothills, such as low castle ramparts, tower-like towers, or circular platforms with strange circles depicted.

And the location of the expedition team is at the foot of the main mountain.

In front of it is a cave with a ruined stone door......
