A map of the world known to mankind –

In fact, it is only located on the very middle of the Dark Continent on a huge lake called Lake Mobius.

According to the statistics of the Ferry Permit Office, there have been 149 Dark Continent Crossing Challenges that have left an exact record in history alone.

Only 5 of these missions had survivors return, with a total of 28 survivors.

But as time passed, only a few survivors of the Dark Continent Challenge remained alive.

The most valuable of these records is undoubtedly the several voyages that directly relate to "Disaster and Hope".

In the precipitous mountains on the northeastern coast of Lake Mobius in the Dark Continent, an ore called uninhabited stone can be mined to generate electricity simply by sinking into the water.

But that area is the territory of the "Breeding Beast Pap".

The United Nations in Begrosse sent a 1,000-strong investigation team into the mountain range in order to find out the entire route, but only seven returned with nothing.

At the landing site directly north of Lake Möbius, you only need to drive 400 kilometers inland to an ancient labyrinthine city with a modern atmosphere.

A large number of special forces sent by the United States of Sahel were attacked by gold and silver ingots of plant weapons, and only two survived.

To the southeast of Lake Möbius, in a straight direction, you will reach a swamp where the longevity food Nitolomi grows.

The Okimaa Federation chose this route and sent a large force of 1,100 men, but 99% of them became bait for the Hellbells Twicher.

After these crossings became a written record, the Republic of Minba chose an alternative route, sending a force of up to 2,000 men.

But in the end, he returned empty-handed, and in the end, only three people survived.

And these three people are suspected to have been affected by some kind of creature, and although they came back alive, they were all insane and died soon after.

This is the official record of the Dark Continent Crossing Challenge that can be used as a reference.

In addition to this, there are actually some unofficial ferry records.

For example-

A team of three.

The members of this squad are:

Isaac Nitro, the thirteenth president of the Hunters' Association.

Two-star food hunter Lynnie Oldenburg.

Beat the enemy Hakka killer Jag beat the enemy Hakka.

"Isaac, can you take a bite of everything you don't see?"

The dark night shrouded the sky, and in an open-air cave, Lin Nie, who was quite similar in appearance to Bisji Lori, frowned.

On the ground in front of her, several white stones were piled up.

Wisps of blue flame were generated directly from the surface of the stone, and then converged into a single flame.

A string of fist-sized bugs hung above the flames, oozing traces of oily with a golden sheen under the high temperature.

Nitro in his prime sat opposite Lin Nie, his eyes staring directly at the insects with bright markings that were about to be roasted, and he didn't hear Lin Nie's complaints at all.

Seeing that Nitro didn't react at all, Lin Nie's forehead erupted with blue tendons, and he raised his hand to gather his mental power, picked up a white stone beside him and threw it at Nitro in front.

As soon as the white stone left Lin Nie's palm, it seemed that because it had touched the telekinesis, a large blue flame burst out.

Nitro snapped back to his senses, raising his hand and slapping away the oncoming stone wrapped in blue flames.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous."

Flying the stone, Nitro blew a few breaths into his palm.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but the flame stone that he took away flew right towards Jaeg Beater, who was looking down and studying the crossing record.

Jager's attention was on the flight records at this time, and he was not aware of the flame stone that flew straight away.

But just as the flame stone was about to smash on Jage's head, he saw that Jage's left hand suddenly turned into an afterimage, and in just one moment, the flame stone was cut into dozens of pieces.

Click-Click

Fragments of white stone were scattered all over the ground, and the raging blue flames gradually extinguished.

But the initiator, Jage, didn't even look up, his eyes were firmly fixed on the crossing record in his hand.

Nitro glanced at Jaege, who was not affected at all, and immediately looked at Lin Nie, drooping his eyelids and said, "Lin Nie, can't you be gentle?" ”

"Get out."

Lin Nie's big eyes glared fiercely.

Nitro shrugged, completely unconcerned about Lin Nie's ferocious attitude.

Seeing that Nitro was so heartless, Lin Nie secretly cursed in his heart, and then said viciously:

"Nitro, I wasn't just reminding you, I'm warning you, what do you think this is?"

"Anything you think you can eat can carry deadly toxins and germs, so can you have a snack!! Even if you're hungry, can you let me take a look before you eat!! ”

"Also, do you know what our squad's flaws are?!!"

"It's a doctor! We lack a doctor!! Do you know what that means!? ”

"You don't think that Jager's half-baked first aid measures alone will give you no worries?!!

"Count me for begging, can you get rid of all the muscles in your brain!!

Lin Nie became more and more angry the more he talked, originally there was only one green tendon on his forehead, but now it has become five.

Nitro nodded frequently, but his eyes were still fixed on the roasted worms on the flames.

waited until Lin Nie was almost done, then he hurriedly pointed to the roasted insects and said eagerly: "It's almost burnt." ”

“？”

Lin Nie's breath suddenly paused, and then an old fist beckoned towards Nitro's head.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound coming from the open-air cavern, which was not spacious.

Jagg, who was perusing the information, was startled, and looked at Nitro with some blankness as a red swollen bout began to emerge from his forehead, not knowing what was happening.

"Huh?"

Then he looked at the rubble in front of him, and a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He remembered that there were no such stones before.

Forget it, it's all something that isn't worth caring about.

Jag shook his head, put the information in his hand beside him, then looked at Nitro and Lin Nie, and said solemnly: "I have looked through all the sailing records, and I have not seen any record of 'that gaze'. ”

"Really......"

Lin Nie frowned slightly.

After giving Nitro a punch, her whole mood cleared.

This will inevitably feel bad when you hear Jager's words.

Just four days ago,

They walked through a lifeless forest of black earth, and then they could feel a gaze from behind them.

But no matter what countermeasures were taken, it was not possible to figure out where the gaze came from and what it really was.

The only thing I could feel was that my gaze was getting closer......

Nitro and Jager's "feelings" were okay, and the two of them basically had the same attitude, thinking that they could only wait for the "gaze" to come to them when they couldn't figure it out with all their might.

At that time, the two of them will resort to force.

But for Lin Nie, a woman, it is very unfriendly......

Not to mention taking a bath, just because it's convenient, I feel uncomfortable.

"What the hell is this unsightly thing......

Lin Nie gritted his teeth.

...........

Day 7 of the Ferry Operation.

I don't have a habit of keeping a diary.

But I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to go back, maybe I should leave something behind.

Today is the seventh day of landfall, and the journey to the south is normal.

We walked through a wasteland, and it was tiresome that the sun never set overhead.

The eighth day of the ferry operation.

The water we carried began to become scarce, and thankfully, the barren land was finally left behind.

We came to a forest.

Thanks Asa!

But the color of the land in this forest is unsettling.

It's too dark.

Like ink......

We need to find a source of water that we can drink.

The ninth day of the ferry operation.

Greatly, the members of the Advance Team found an underground spring.

It was the first time I had seen such clear water.

Thanks Asa!

Abundant water clears the haze.

The tour leader decided to rest for the day near the spring, and I think we were closer to our destination.

Day 10 of the Ferry Operation.

Recognising the difficulty of replenishing water, we decided to bring more water with us.

This affects our speed, but we think it's necessary.

Before I set off today, I saw three crows perched on a black trunk like coral, and they were so dark that I almost didn't notice.

It's magical.

It turns out that there are crows in this kind of ghost place.

Day 11 of the Ferry Operation.

This dark forest is so quiet......

The raven is far away from us.

They don't seem to chirp.

This is good.

I didn't want to hear that ominous, shrill scream.

The twelfth day of the voyage.

Finally out of the damn lonely forest.

The water brought out of it is still sufficient, and at least there is no need to worry about the water problem for the next week.

We can speed things up......

Thirteenth day of the voyage.

Got a pair of eyes on me?

My nerves seem to be overly sensitive.

Fourteenth day of the voyage.

No!

There really was a pair of eyes staring at me.

But no matter how much I looked back, I couldn't find the owner of those eyes.

I don't want to be at the back of the line anymore.

I applied for a transfer from the tour leader.

But the team leader rejected me.

She didn't believe what I said.

I think—

Maybe she's right.

The long march made me start to get tired.

Fourteenth day of the voyage.

Is it really because I'm too stressed?

But I have to take the medicine prescribed by the team doctor on time......

Why, that gaze is closer to me, it's too bad.

I felt very wrong.

But why am I alone......

Day 15 of the voyage.

We finally arrived at our destination, about three days faster than expected.

It's exciting.

But I'm even happier that the gaze is finally gone.

The only thing to regret......

Why are they all gone?

........

Syllable.

Jaeg covered the handwritten book that had been pulled out of the crack in the stone.

"We've drunk the water from there, too."

As he spoke, Jag handed the handwritten book to Lin Nie.

Lin Nie took the book left by the deceased, let out a long breath, and immediately said, "That gaze is also very close to us......

"It doesn't matter, because I'm here."

Nitro turned his wrist slightly, his expression particularly serious.

Jag and Lin Nie subconsciously glanced at Nitro, but they felt a hint of relief.

"There's only one thing I'm curious about right now."

Lin Nie suddenly held up the handwritten book with stains on the cover, and said word by word:

"Isn't the timing of this diary a little too coincidental...... Isn't it too easy for us to find out? ”

“……”

Jag and Nitro looked at each other.

I heard Lin Nie continue again:

"Is it 'real'?"

“……”
