Liberisos River.

On a wide river, a cruise ship is slowly moving forward.

The New World is full of rainforests, swamps, and lakes. The Liberos River is the largest river in the region, and its numerous tributaries spread throughout the land, giving birth to countless magical races under irrigation.

This great river flows rapidly, and when it floods every year, countless tributaries are connected like a vast ocean.

The cruise ship is not large, but there are several armed soldiers standing on it, wearing red and white uniforms, patrolling vigilantly.

Along the banks of the river is a dense rainforest, and from time to time some wild animals come out to drink, and occasionally you can see giant pythons paddling through the water and coming out to hunt.

In the local indigenous language, the Libersos River means 'artery', which is a metaphor.

In the cabin of the cruise ship, six black-robed men were sitting together, carefully observing the map on the desk.

"Towards evening, we should be able to reach the [Ancient Tree Tribe], where we will spend the night pruning and then enter the rainforest. Joanna pointed to the map and said.

"Well, by the way, you can also find these natives to trade supplies and inquire about the situation. Alan looked at Joanna with a pair of fiery eyes and smiled.

These six people are none other than the black-robed six, including Sig.

In the previous introductions of these people, Sieg knew that the destination of their trip was an ancient ruin somewhere deep in the rainforest.

For hundreds of years, when many mysteries in the continent countries explored the ruins of the New World, they divided several security lines according to the security level, and the ruins that Xige and the others were going to this time were within the orange security line.

The orange safety line corresponds to the strength of a first-level magician, which means that even a quasi-first-level powerhouse may encounter unknown life danger when entering this range.

However, wealth is sought in danger after all.

For Sigger, as long as he doesn't go to that kind of mortal land, it's worth taking a certain amount of pioneering risk.

These six people didn't know each other originally, and they all gathered together by chance. Most of these six were wandering magicians from the nearby seas, or contract magicians of trading companies. Because there weren't many mystics in this part of the New World, they got together.

The event was started by Joanna, whose plan was to meet in Dawn Harbor and set off together to explore the ruins of the rainforest.

They were uniformly dressed in black robes and dressed as withdrawn and strange, in order to make it easier for them to recognize and converge when the time came.

Unfortunately, the Anthony Sorcerer of the Maple Leaf Kingdom was killed by Sigur after landing in Dawn Harbor.

According to the hint on the map, the entrance to the ruins can only be opened if six quasi-first-level magicians activate the power of the bloodline.

This is also the reason why the five of them invited Sieg to participate.

Unlike the Mother Continent, there are no sorcerer families here, and few people go here alone, except for some contract mages hired by trading companies.

Either it was a group of expeditions, such as the one formed by the countries of the continent last time, or it was a wandering magician who couldn't get along in the home continent.

With just one person missing, Sieg filled in and followed them all the way here.

The five of them didn't have much friendship in the first place, and they came together purely for the sake of interests, so they didn't say anything along the way.

Before they set out, they had already signed a contract, agreeing that after entering the tomb group, they would find their own treasures, and if there were cursed remains, they would share them together.

After settling the baroness's flesh and blood in his belly, Sieg decisively followed them out to find his own opportunity.

At this moment, Sieg was sitting on the side in a low-key manner, and he noticed that the woman named Joanna seemed to have a strong desire to lead, and had been influencing everyone's decisions the whole time, as if everyone needed to take her as the lead.

And the handsome man named Allen is trying to pursue this beautiful girl, and he is constantly courteous along the way.

As for the other sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Cathar and the tall O'Neill, who seemed to have no scheming, Sieg didn't pay much attention, these two should be just ordinary quasi-first-level magicians.

Nakhar, in particular, made no secret of his hostility towards Sieg along the way, supposedly because of his friendship with the dead Anthony. But Sig didn't bother to pay attention to him along the way.

In the end, the remaining Solomon was the object of Seeger's special attention, a man about the same age as himself, who seemed to be shrouded in a fog of indulging, and there was a feeling that people could not see through.

Along the way, Solomon was also silent, did not deal with anyone, and looked like a withdrawn eccentric.

It's always boring on the ship, and the guys sit and talk while Sieg closes his eyes and doesn't get involved.

The men chatted and chatted, and at some point they talked about death.

"Have you ever felt the smell of death? Cartery licked his lips with excitement on his face, seemingly interested in the topic.

Joanna frowned and said, "I only remember when I was very young, once in the evening, I fell into a dry well because of playfulness, and I became hoarse because of the cold in my throat, and I had no strength to scream, so I was trapped in the well for more than an hour. I almost thought I was going to die......"

"But then someone passed by, heard movement in the well, came over and looked, and then they found me and rescued me. Joanna patted her towering chest, as if she was haunted by the shadow of her childhood.

The dark and closed environment always made people feel oppressive and hopeless, especially for Joanna, who was still a child at the time.

"That's a really good man. Alan interjected appropriately: "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have met you and started this wonderful journey." ”

"In the future, with me, I won't make you feel threatened, trust me. Alan said as he shook Joanna's hand and said with a blazing gaze.

Joanna retracted her hand reservedly, smiled and didn't speak, but it could be seen that this woman was still very sweet in her heart.

"These two people actually got better so quickly. Sigurt glanced at them and muttered to himself.

Then the rest of the people also talked about their experiences, which can be regarded as an icebreaker conversation.

Soon it was Solomon's turn, who had been silent. Along the way, the man didn't say a word, and sitting with Sieg was simply a silent twin, and he was ostracized by everyone.

This time, however, he spoke, and seemed to be very interested in the subject of death.

"When I was a child, I lived under a snowy mountain, and one year there was an avalanche that flooded my house and trapped me, my father, mother, brother and sister. Solomon faintly recalled, as if recalling an inconspicuous little thing: "At that time, the snow blocked the whole house, and we could not get out at all, so we were trapped in it for fifty-three days." That was the first time I faced death. ”

"Hehehehehe. Alan chuckled and interjected, "Mr. Solomon, you're really joking. How can a family be trapped in a house for fifty-three days, where there is no food enough for you to survive. ”

He seemed anxious to show his wits in front of Joanna, pointing out the loopholes in Solomon's words at once.

The others also smiled awkwardly but politely, as if embarrassed for Solomon.

After all, the lie was exposed, but it was a big shame.

Solomon didn't rush to explain anything, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he sat up straight, stared straight at Allen and said, "Who said there wasn't enough food?"

Everyone was stunned.

The ship was moving fast, and the sunlight from the window swept through the cabin, shining on Solomon's face, and the weather was uncertain.

"Four corpses, if I save a little food, will be enough for me to live to the fifty-third day. Solomon continued, his tone calm.

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

In an instant, the faces of several other people changed drastically, and Joanna couldn't help but cover her mouth for a while, and took a few steps back, avoiding Solomon like a plague.

"You...... You killed them and ate your own parents!" Eren also froze slightly, and then looked at each other in disbelief, like a beast.

The rest of the people all of a sudden involuntarily retreated, as if they wanted to draw a line with this strange man.

However, at this time, a voice floated over lightly.

"How does it taste?"

Sieg asked curiously.
