More than 300 years ago, there was a human who wanted to completely explore the coastline of the Dark Continent on his own.

Today, three hundred years later, this humanity is still on its way to exploring the coastline of the Dark Continent.

While exploring the Dark Continent, he also wrote a book called "Journey to the New World".

And this book has been released in Six Continents.

The book is written about his exploration of the Dark Continent.

At first, few people cared about such a book full of absurd imaginations.

But as times have changed, acceptance has increased.

As a result, this strange book, which was named as a fantasy, eventually brought priceless information to the humans of the six continents.

It can also be said that –

It was the New World Chronicle that brought Pandora's Box to mankind.

Every crossing organized by V5 with the power of a great power is basically to send hundreds or thousands of people to the Dark Continent.

However, every crossing ended in failure, and those who were sent there naturally died on that continent.

You must know that the number of official crossings recorded alone has been as high as 149.

Even putting aside those private sailing operations, the record of these 149 failed crossings is built up by an unknown number of lives.

That's the price of opening Pandora's box.

Through this, the humans of the Six Continents have deeply realized the danger of Pandora's box.

But humanity never stops on the path of destruction.

The man who wrote this New World Chronicle that brought Pandora's Box to mankind is called-

East R&F.

Now.

He's alive.

With herbs that can cure all diseases, and Nitolomi, which can increase lifespan, he is more than 300 years old, and he is still active in the coastline of the Dark Continent, and he is still measuring the infinite earth with his feet.

Because—

Human pace and speed are limited.

The vastness of the Dark Continent is unimaginable, and it would take hundreds of years for a human to measure the land with his feet, even if it was just along the coastline.

Don Fulix isn't quite complete the journey yet, but with Nitolomi's support, he has plenty of time to complete the rest of the journey.

Right now.

He came to the rough white earth as far as the eye could see, but he was surprised to see the traces left by Moyo when he emptied the lake.

"Fish and Plants of the Six Continents......"

Don Fulix's eyes lit up with surprise.

Although there is not a lot of information, when you see the flora and fauna from the six continents in this place, as well as the obvious traces of dry water, you can roughly understand what is going on.

"Is there a 'pipeline' that has been activated...... Was it triggered unintentionally, or was it subjectively initiated? ”

To be able to transport freshwater fish, including lake water, to this land along with aquatic plants, East Fulux could not think of any other possibilities than the pipes left by ancient humans.

He is well-informed, and he has also come into contact with the divine word pipes left by ancient humans during his travels.

It was with these tunnels, hidden beneath the murderous environment, that he was able to travel through them when needed, and return to Nitolomi and many other areas of "hope" as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if you walk on two feet alone, it will take a lot of time to make a round trip.

Including once returning to the Six Continents, he also relied on the ability of the ancient pipeline.

I don't know how much time has been saved.

Moreover, if you return to the Six Continents from the ancient pipeline, you don't have to go back with "a disaster".

Slowly moving his feet tangled in the branches of the green vines, Don Fulux walked past the slightly smelly fish and walked up and down to gather more information.

If Moyu were still here, he would be surprised to find that-

East Fulux's body was wrapped with vine branches of different sizes.

These vine branches are left on Don Fulux's body in a woven state, and instead of being in harmony, they seem to give people a rather harmonious look.

But the problem is that -

The vine branches beat like a pulse, vaguely in tune with Don Fulix's breathing rate.

Obviously, the existence of these vine branches is not simply for shelter.

If Moyou could see it, he might be curious about the relationship between these vine branches and East Fulis, and what kind of effect they have.

But before that happens, you will be aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Because he is a traverser, he knows that East Fulix has explored the eastern coastline of the Dark Continent, so the book "New World Chronicles: East" was born.

In other words.

Since East Fulix will be here, it is likely that this white land is one of the areas along the western coastline of the Dark Continent.

And the Nitolomi that Moyu is looking for is located on the eastern coastline of the Dark Continent.

The two are in opposite directions.

This meant that he could not rely on the information written in the book "Journey to the East of the New World" to determine the approximate location and direction of his place.

Not to mention going to the marshes of the eastern coastline to find Nitolomi, how to cross the western coastline is an extremely difficult problem.

East Flix walked slowly among the scattered flora and fauna, and then looked in a certain direction.

After a moment's pause, he decided to change his course a little and go to the exact location where "a certain group of people" had come.

Before stepping forward, he scooped up a dead fish from the white ground and pressed it against his left arm.

Zizi –

I saw a slight sound from the branches of the vine that had been suppressed by the dead fish, and then the surface of the vine slowly cracked one after another, and a large number of white strip-shaped things like enoki mushrooms extended from them.

The strips quickly wrapped around the dead fish that was pressing on Don Flix's arm, and with a slight agitation, the dead fish shrank in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then disappeared without a trace after a few seconds.

A dead fish that looked to weigh more than two pounds was sucked up in just five seconds.

East Flexix then picks up the second dead fish and the third dead fish from the ground......

After much effort to feed the vine branches, Don Fulux set out and walked in the direction he had determined.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Don Flix suddenly stopped and looked at the ground in front of him.

There was a man lying on his side.

From the perspective of Don Fulix, only the back of the person can be seen.

“……”

Don Fulux's eyes drooped, and he realized that the traces he had just observed were those left by this "human".

This made him unsure for a moment whether the "direction" was right or wrong.

Although it is inevitable that if you walk all over the white land, you will find the ancient pipes that will bring the goods of the six continents here, but if the situation allows, East Fulix tends to pursue efficiency, or rather does not want to waste time.

Time –

It's not about how much you have, it's about how you use it.

It's precious.

As he pondered, he looked at the human lying on the ground.

"Red tide larvae......

"In this way, there is a high probability that the people in the same industry have also been swallowed up."

While talking to himself, Don Rlux slowly raised his right palm and aimed it at the "human" lying on the ground.

With the mobilization and flow of the mindful qi, the surface of the finely textured green plants that spread all over the palm of the palm opened a mouth that was slightly agitating red flesh buds like a monster.

In the blink of an eye, a condensed substance-like aura gathered in that "mouth".

The "humans" lying on the ground waiting for their prey to come seemed to sense the danger, and suddenly stood up straight from the ground like zombies, and there was a red smoke flood on their facial features.

But the next moment—

A beam of thought qi containing terrifying power broke through the air and slammed straight into its body.

However, there was no sound of movement, but with the disappearance of a bright light, the human body, and the parasitic red tide larvae within, evaporated out of thin air, leaving only curling white smoke in place that proved their existence.

The attack ended, and Don Fulix lowered his arms.

People who don't know about the "red tide larvae" will be like Mo You and them, and they will not be able to accurately judge the predation details of the rabbit waiting for the rabbit at the first time.

Potential risks can only be eliminated through tentative methods, or they can be eaten by "red tide larvae" without knowing it.

Red tide larvae have a predatory habit that is rooted in instinct.

When they hunt an organism, if there are many of them, they will leave a shell behind to parasitize after tasting it.

In this way, they forcibly intervene in the ecological chain, and then wait for the prey to come to the door in a way that waits for the rabbit.

Therefore, when such a "red tide larvae" with humans as a parasitic body appears in front of us, it indicates that many humans must have been devoured by the "red tide larvae" before this.

Don Fulix saw the existence of the "Red Tide Hatchling" with his own eye, and immediately chose to attack first without hesitation, destroying the potential threat in front of him without taking any risks.

When necessary, it is better to kill the mistake than to let it go.

Unless necessary, avoidance is the best option.

This is the law of survival in the Dark Continent.

Don Flexix took a closer look at the environment and after a while, he looked in a direction.

He was going to find the ancient pipes in the area......

"It's finally 'out.'"

Standing above a white line, Moyu stepped on the slightly moist soil with his other foot.

It lasted five days and eleven hours.

They finally walked out of the white earth behind them.

Aside from the giant Night's Watch, the black feathers, and the red-smoky humanoid husks encountered at the beginning, no other lifeforms were seen, and nothing was seen other than the white earth.

If it weren't for the fact that it carried enough survival supplies, and the "Shadow World" could carry everyone to move quickly......

This white land, which has no living resources, alone is enough to make the vast majority of human beings stop here.

That is to say—

The 163 contestants who were sent here by the ancient pipeline were basically impossible to get out of this white land, let alone survive.

Stepping on the wet soil, Mo You first looked back at the endless white earth behind him, and then retracted his gaze and turned to look at the environment ahead.

What emerges from the field of vision is a black hilly area with undulating heights, which forms a strong contrast with the white earth that Moyu and the others walked on.

If you look down from a bird's-eye view.

On one side is the white land of the flat river, and on the other side is the black hills covered with terraced fields.

One white and one black.

One hard and one soft.

One flat and one sudden.

The two face each other by a boundary, and do not interfere with each other in the long period of terrain changes.

Crossing the white earth, all Mo You and the others could do was to move on.

The top priority at the moment is to confirm the approximate location as much as possible.

If conditions permit, it is best to meet an indigenous life form with the possibility of "communication".

Because of the presence of Pjonne in the team, Moyu is still looking forward to "communication".

Everyone stepped on the black earth one after another, and after only about a hundred meters of progress, they could clearly feel the soft touch coming from the soles of their feet.

That feeling—

It's like stepping on a latex mattress.

"Huh?"

Kang Jae was shocked, and then he raised his foot and kicked the ground hard.

But with a muffled sound, the expected step into the dirt did not happen.

The soles of his shoes lay flat on the soil, and all around him was the low ripple of gravel.

When you move your feet away, you see unscathed black soil.

But when I put my foot on it again, it was still the same soft feeling of stepping on the latex mattress.

This strange and contradictory touch made Kang Jae's face reveal a strange expression.

If it weren't for the situation, there would still be a thought in his little head to study it.

"Keep up, you tiger bee idiot."

Pjörn's special urging came from the front.

Kang Jae's face suddenly darkened, and he grinned at Pion's back.

But he didn't reply.

Because as a member of the defense team, his duty is to keep an eye on the surroundings at all times, so that he can defend the logistics members of the team from threats at the first time.

And the playfulness just now, in a sense, is a dereliction of duty.

Kang Jae knew that he was at a loss and quickly followed the team.

He is in charge of the rear guard, while Moyu is in charge of the front guard.

Moyu led the group to the bottom of a low hill.

Before he could ascend, he could see what was ahead of him from the vision of the shadow clone who was tasked with the scout.

In order to see further, he even walked in front of the shadow clone to a high altitude to observe.

But as far as the eye can see—

It's still a black hill with no end in sight.

"It's too big......

Mo You frowned slightly, it was not easy to cross the white land, and now he was trying to climb over this black hill.

He finally deeply understood Nitro's evaluation of the Dark Continent.

Here, it's too big!

It's not just the creatures that are active in the ecosystem, it's the vast expanse of the land.

Finding Nitolomi is a long way off......
