Chapter 456: It's Just Beginning
A variety of terrain as far as the eye can see.
After this, and there......
It's endless, as if there's no end in sight.
In a sense, this is the moat that human beings must face when exploring the Dark Continent.
Stand here and experience the vastness of this world......
Moyu then understood why the V5's 149 crossings with the help of a great power ended in failure.
It's not because the army isn't elite enough, it's because the ranks of hundreds or thousands of people are too bloated.
The combination of survival supplies and long distances alone is enough to keep the exploration team at the threshold, not to mention the dangers that are everywhere.
After all, even Don Fulix, whose name was only revealed in the original book, took more than a hundred years to completely explore half of the coastline of the Dark Continent.
You know, Don Fulux explores alone, and in terms of travel speed, it is by no means comparable to a large team.
So—
The principle that a pair of chopsticks is difficult to break is obviously not applicable to the Dark Continent.
When Nitro went to the Dark Continent, he only brought Jaeg, who beat the enemy family, and Lin Nie, the food hunter in the association.
The team is short and concise, which is the basic condition for being able to explore the Dark Continent.
With a team of less than ten people, Moyu doesn't have to worry about speed or exploration efficiency.
Therefore, even if you take that endless black hilly area into your eyes, it will not affect your mentality in the slightest.
Moreover, on the way, Mo You asked a shadow clone to explore the path ahead, and a shadow clone stayed by his side to change into a thought space channel at any time, which can greatly reduce the risk on the way to exploration.
Gesturing to his teammates to follow, Moyu took the lead in walking up the low sand dunes, and then headed forward at a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour.
The shadow clone responsible for scouting the way forward also maintained a speed of about sixty kilometers per hour, about a kilometer away from the team.
One kilometer, this is the longest distance that Moyo can guarantee the accuracy of the operation.
The team traveled in this pattern through the black hills, and no other animals or plants were seen in the places they passed.
Probably because this black hilly area does not have the conditions for plants to survive, it is unlikely that a small biosphere will be born.
It's no surprise that you don't see any flora or fauna.
This is also the same for the white land that I have walked on before.
Time passes.
The sun sets and night falls.
The day went by.
Although the team is always moving at a high speed, the surrounding environment is still hilly with a high degree of similarity, giving people the feeling of "standing still".
If the will is not strong enough, it may take a few days to break down.
At this time, the kind of mental ability used to dredge emotions is needed from the two-star troubled hunter of the twelve earthly branches, Saqiu.
But Mo You and the others didn't need it.
As soon as the passage of the shadow world opened, everyone got into it, and their mentality was not affected in the slightest.
This is what "refuge" is all about.
You don't have to be scared all the time, and you can always be guaranteed to rest.
And there are sufficient survival materials stored in the space of thought, so you don't have to worry about not being able to get out of this harsh environment that you can't see at a glance.
Everyone had a full meal in the movie space without pressure.
Menqi's craftsmanship is as superb as ever, and the food he cooks can make everyone happy with the taste alone.
It's only been almost a week since he came to the Dark Continent, but he has never been able to meet the right ingredients, which makes Menqi a little regretful.
She was eager to see what could be so special about the ingredients in the Dark Continent......
After a short rest in the shadow space, everyone left the shadow space and walked to the hills.
Bisgi summons Miss Cookie and asks her to use the "Peachy Breath" ability on Moyu.
The fair, slender fingers gently stroked and pressed on Mo You's body.
After a set of massage techniques like playing a piano, Mo You suddenly fell into a deep sleep.
The rest of the team was surrounded by the rest of the group, always on their toes.
Although they didn't encounter any animals and plants along the way, as well as beings with treacherous abilities, the team's vigilance level did not weaken because of this, giving the Dark Continent enough respect.
Instead of participating in the vigilance mission, Menqi set up a gas stove in the same place and used the ability of "Glow Cuisine" to help Moyu prepare sandwiches and rice balls.
These simple foods, after being baptized by the ability of "glowing cuisine", can somewhat help Moyu relieve fatigue later.
Half an hour later.
Mo You woke up on time and was in full condition.
"Go in, I'll keep going."
The bright moonlight shone on the black earth, and Mo You opened a shadow space passage beside him, motioning for everyone to go in and rest.
There was no objection from the crowd.
For a period of time, they have been traveling through the white earth in this way, which can be said to be full of efficiency.
Menqi handed the sandwich and rice ball to Mo You, and then burrowed into the Shadow Space passage.
Bisgi was the last to go in.
Before she entered, she raised her eyes to look at Mo You and said earnestly:
"Moyou, I know you're in a hurry, but we don't have the capital to be 'strong', when it's time to stop, we must stop decisively, and when it's time to slow down, we must not hesitate at all."
"yes, I know."
Moyu nodded towards Bisji.
Bi Siji didn't say anything more, and jumped into the shadow space passage, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Mo You's thought moved, and he closed the shadow space passage in the air, and quickly took the shadow back.
"Alright, let's keep going......"
Bathed in silvery light, Moyu looked up at the undulating hills ahead.
He couldn't bet on how much time Hawke had left, so he could only try to find Nitolomi as fast as he could, so from the moment he landed on the Dark Continent, he decided to keep the "day and night" travel mode.
And Miss Cookie's ability is the capital that allows him to practice this model.
"Rat Treasure."
Before leaving, Moyu softly called out the name of the Rat Treasure.
Hearing this, Rat Bao immediately turned back to his original form and squatted on Mo You's shoulder.
"Tsk!"
It waved its short hand energetically.
Seeing this, Mo You couldn't help but smile slightly, took out a rice ball and handed it to Rat Bao, and immediately stepped on it, and his body shot forward like electricity.
Leaving the shadow of a unit by your side is to get out of danger at any time.
However, due to the fragility of the shadow passage, Mo You needs the Rat Treasure to be in place at any time to provide him with an extra layer of protection.
No way-
In order to enjoy the effect of the vow of the mindfulness, it is necessary to suffer the effect of conditioning.
However, reducing the conditioning effect is a basic quality that a person with great mental ability needs to have.
Mo Yu thought about asking Rat Bao to use his telekinesis to open a passage to safety, and then he put the passage of the shadow space inside.
Finally, set up a "Divine Character" around the Shadow Space Passage with the reinforcement effect of the reinforcement system.
This kind of operation can basically greatly weaken the restraining effect of the shadow space.
Overall, it is much more practical than the "four-dimensional apartment".
As far as the idea of reading the system is concerned, Mo You thinks that he still has some ability.
However, he felt that this black hilly area was a bit strange, so he put aside the idea of combining the Rat Treasure and the Divine Word Ability to reduce the effect of shadow space restriction for the time being.
The shadow clone explored the way ahead, and the risk of Mo You rushing at night was reduced.
It wasn't until the sky showed a hazy morning light that Mo You stopped.
He wasn't sure how far he'd walked, but he should have traveled thousands of miles at night.
It's just that when I look around in the hazy morning light, as far as the eye can see, it is still the undulating black hilly area.
There are no iconic references along the way, and if you rush like this, you will only feel that the road ahead is long and anxiety-provoking.
"Hoo ......"
Mo You let out a long sigh of exhaustion, and immediately controlled the shadow to turn into a passage, attaching to the ground.
Rat Bao squatted on Mo You's shoulder, tilted his head slightly and yawned, and then jumped directly into the shadow passage, responsible for shouting out the people inside.
A moment later.
Everyone came out of the shadow space one after another, and looked at the unchanged environment around them, but they didn't react much.
After all, they had been walking on the same unchanging white land for nearly a week before coming to this black hilly area.
"Moyu, how far have you gone tonight?"
While guarding the surroundings as usual, Kang Jae asked with some curiosity.
Mo You lay on the spot without any scruples, feeling the soft touch coming from under him, and said casually: "More than 1,500 miles." ”
"Oh."
Kang Jae nodded.
At least 1,500 miles away, it takes a day and a night to reach it by spaceship, but on the Dark Continent, it is only a drizzle.
Menqi took out some of the supplies from the shadow space and began to prepare breakfast for everyone on the spot.
Lying on the ground, Moyu still fell asleep peacefully under Miss Cookie's massage.
When Menqi was ready for breakfast, Moyou woke up and was in full state again.
Soon, everyone finished breakfast and then set off directly.
No one knows how long it will take to get out of this black hill, so they can only ensure that they can travel efficiently at all times.
The team went on day after day for five days.
But the surroundings remain the same......
"Alas, I can understand why ancient humans went to great lengths to set up 'pipes'."
Near noon, Pjörne raised his hand to the curtain in front of his brow, looked at the seemingly endless black horizon in front of him, and sighed loudly.
First the white earth, and now the black hills.
It's too mentality......
Not to mention the group of unlucky people who were suddenly sent here by the "pipe", even if they were sent here unprepared, I am afraid that they will have to scream because of the survival materials, and finally starve to death here.
Pionne only thought about it for a moment, and his scalp felt tingling.
"I really want to play with my phone."
She lowered her hand and thought to herself.
However, in order to save her future father-in-law, she then waved her little fist in her heart to cheer herself up.
The team came to a halt for the time being.
Mo Yu didn't have to rest this time, and was on guard with the others.
The warning area that Xiao Di is responsible for is in the west direction, and the mouse treasure needs to be charged for a while, so he ran to find Xiao Di.
A man and a rat wandered around for a short time, and then stared at a small raised hill.
"That place seems good."
Droplet looked up at the hill.
"Tsk!"
Rat Bao screamed.
"You think so, Mouse Treasure."
"Tsk, tsk!"
"Got it, I'll help you recharge it when I get up."
"Tsk!"
"Then let's go over."
After a brief moment of unobstructed communication, Drip walked ahead and soon walked up the bulging hill.
Rat Bao followed, and after climbing the small hill, he directly hugged Xiao Di's thigh.
Here's how it's charged.
Xiao Di first turned around to confirm the location of his teammates, and then mobilized his mental energy to concentrate on his thighs to help Mouse Bao charge.
After doing this, she took a look at her surroundings again.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Droplet noticed a faint white crack in the pitch-black ground a few meters away, which should be about two meters long.
If it weren't for the black terrain, such a slender white gap would be hard to find.
"After so many days of driving, I finally saw a different color."
Xiao Di looked at the slender gap, and although he was very curious, he did not rush closer, and even resolutely retreated down the hill, away from this white gap that was incompatible with the black hills for the first time.
Her sudden action interrupted Rat Bao's recharge.
"Huh?"
Rat Bao followed behind Drop's buttocks, making a puzzled sound.
Xiao Di glanced down at her and said softly, "Be good, I'll help you recharge it later." ”
"Tsk."
Rat Bao nodded very obediently.
Seeing this, Droplet smiled, and then told Moyu about the white gap she had just discovered.
"Gaps......"
Moyu looked at the small hill that Droplet was pointing to.
"Leave it alone, leave after lunch."
In line with the principle that more is better than less, and that this white gap does not affect the path of travel, Mo You has no intention of exploring.
In an environment like the Dark Continent, too much curiosity is not a good thing.
They have only walked through the white earth and the black hills beneath their feet.
Both belong to the harsh environment that is not suitable for the survival of animals and plants, so there are very few "risks" encountered along the way.
But Moyu knows......
As long as there is even a forest or grassland on the road, it means that the "danger index" will soar wildly.
For now, it's just getting started.
Hearing Mo You's words, Xiao Di could only suppress the curiosity in her heart.
Rumble –
At this moment, a dense muffled sound came from a distance.
The sudden sound of movement made everyone present immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and at the same time, they all looked for the nearest high place, and then looked in the direction from which the sound came.
"Huh!?"
Everyone stared at it, and saw that at the end of the wave-like terrain, there was a red line across the entire horizon that could be contained in the field of vision.
"What ......?!"
Kang Jae's stunned voice reached everyone's ears.
But no one spoke in the room, and they all stared intently at the red line in the distance.
After only a few seconds, the thin red line at the end of the terrain thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a tsunami.
But but—
A torrent of countless unidentified creatures was rushing towards them, and the speed was very fast.
“!!!”
As the distance narrowed, everyone saw the true face of this red torrent, and only felt a chill suddenly stir up on their backs.
Nearly two weeks on the road, and along the way, I saw only the giant night watch, a creature in the truest sense of the word.
I was used to the "biological barrenness" nature of this land, but I didn't want a torrent of creatures that was exaggerated to the point of stretching across the entire horizon in my eyes.
Tens? Several hundred thousand? Or millions?
There is no time left to explore this question......
As soon as Mo You's pupils shrank, he wanted to combine Rat Bao's telekinesis ability to open up a safer shelter underground.
But before he could put it into action, the mutation happened again.
Thundered!
The earth, which has a soft touch, began to shake dramatically.
"Huh? Earthquake?! ”
Mo You's heart was shocked.
It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
