241. Everything starts with understanding
It was a short stay for half an hour.
Rita took out a box of seeds from her backpack, took out a few, and placed them in the palm of her hand to activate the ability.
Even without soil, the seeds quickly take root and sprout, and in a short time grow into a tree trunk, dense roots piercing into the flesh of the octopus, sucking in nutrients.
Although the initial configuration was twenty-three.
But the six members of the Hao team, under Hao Hao's arrangement, have made arrangements for various situations that may occur in the Dark Continent.
In other words, even if there are only six of them left, it will be enough to deal with unexpected situations.
And in the past year, Hao has also been helping them develop their mental abilities...
When the trees were grown, they made a simple wooden boat and continued on their way.
The trunk is the main body and the branches are the ropes.
By this time, the sea had calmed down due to the death of the octopus, and there were no more undercurrents.
Before leaving, Men Qi directly cut some octopus meat as a food source.
Although this place is relatively close to the Dark Continent, after the loss of the ship, their speed has decreased sharply, and they don't know when they will be able to land, and the rations in the packages of several people are very limited.
Fortunately, there was no danger in the back.
However, one day, it was also night.
As they drifted along with the sea, a light suddenly lit up in the darkness around them, flashing and flickering.
It's very much like a human lamp.
You must know that if ordinary people drift in the ocean for too long, they will undoubtedly lose their mental balance, produce anxiety and other emotions, and will also breed hallucinations... And at this juncture, I suddenly saw my familiar light, like a candle flame lit in the dark, full of hope.
In addition, along with the light, there is also a seductive cry.
Several people on the boat, except for Hao, all lost their minds.
Fante and Anthony subconsciously rowed closer to the bright position.
But they were protected by the black mist emitted by the haze in time, isolating them from the sound.
In the hazy perception, the flickering light is actually a sea creature similar to an octopus, but the individual is many times smaller, and there are many of them, and they look like lanternfish. Although many days have passed since the octopus was killed, and the location is relatively far away, it is clear that these species are following the former.
It's just not clear what they're the prey for... It's still a hunter.
"Like the Twinkle Hell Bell, the sound is extremely penetrating and can interfere with the mental will of other species... Fortunately, it was not as dangerous as the former, and it did not affect the soul. Hazy frowned, these monsters did not approach, but were tentatively trapping, all because of the black ghost fog floating around the raft.
The thoughts released by Hao, full of his spiritual will, are warning and demonstrating to all the dangers hidden in the shadows!
It is a kind of protection in disguise.
If it was on land, the haze would have been killed.
But not in the ocean, they have little food, and most importantly, they lack water, and he is strong enough to hold on.
Men Qi and a few people can't.
"Captain."
As soon as the voice disappeared, several people came back to their senses.
"Don't worry about it, keep paddling." Hazy commanded.
Although the speed of the boat slowed down, because of its proximity to the Dark Continent and the natural current, the raft would be washed up to the shore little by little.
After speaking, his mind moved.
In the nearby ghost fog, ghosts flew out of the sky, roaring and roaring in all directions, full of shock and coercion.
Sure enough, soon... The light of the sea vanished, and the bewitching cry came to an abrupt end.
…
A few more days passed, and the next day it was noon.
The six of them finally saw the dark shadow that appeared on the sea level... That's land.
The Dark Continent... It's here!
Several people looked a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to relax, but became even more nervous.
Because according to the captain, the land of the Dark Continent is the core of the real horror.
"According to the reports of Nitro and Bjand, the coastline they arrived at was a lush, spectacular primeval jungle... We're here..."Vante stood up and looked hard, as if there was no vegetation on the continent in the distance, but a barren desert Gobi.
"I've arrived, but it seems to have deviated from the course..."
Men Qi echoed.
No way... For the rest of the year, they were completely drifting with the sea, with no direction.
"Anyway, fortunately, there is no danger coming."
Anthony said too.
Their route was too dangerous, and if it weren't for the captain's presence, they probably wouldn't even be qualified to set foot on the Dark Continent.
The land at sea level looks very close, but in fact it is still very far away, and it is only because the size of the continent is so amazing that it does not seem far away.
After more than a dozen hours of drifting, around the wee hours of the morning, they finally walked onto the beach.
As soon as they landed on land, several people noticed something unusual.
It's a sandy beach indeed... But this vast stretch of sand, any piece of gravel, is the size of a fist from a human perspective, and a little bigger is completely gravel.
The fog is about to spread, and the perception is fully open.
After closing his eyes for a minute, he opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbidity: "There is no danger, let's straighten it out first." ”
As he spoke, he didn't have the ability to put away his thoughts.
Because he knew that the moment he stepped on the Dark Continent, his telekinesis basically needed to be released all the time, which was very laborious in terms of consumption. What Hao can do is to reduce the area shrouded in ghost fog as much as possible on the premise of ensuring safety.
Immediately, he asked the men and the others to stay where they were to deal with the matter, while he walked around and patrolled.
Nothing... After the sandy beach, there is the endless Gobi.
But the temperature in the air is even lower than at sea, which is a bit biting.
Hazy looked up and observed the night, it looked no different from the human world... It's just that I can't see the stars.
As if it was obscured by something.
The farther away the skyline, the night sky was not only pitch black, but also rendered a layer of red like blood.
It was clear that this desert seemed to be boundless, but in fact, looking at the edge of the entire dark continent, it was likely to be a very small area, but from his perspective, it was just vast.
"Giant pink octopus, spiritually induced group lanternfish..."
He raised his eyebrows.
It's familiar.
He summons the system and opens the panel.
Sure enough, the system manifested a picture based on the memories of his past life.
It is one of the illustrations in the original book.
He recognized the octopus... It's already a harbinger.
The location where they landed is most likely a coordinate in this illustration.
In the portrait, in the sea, pink octopuses, patches of seaweed, squirting whales, a green swimming dragon, a churning tsunami and other icons are marked, and next to the bordering land, there is a sinkhole, in the center of which crawls a crab-like creature with a white skull.
In addition, in the corner of the pit, a creature like a sandworm was drilled.
And three dark purple trees...
But these are not the most attractive, the most attractive thing is that in the center of the picture, in the depths of the Dark Continent, there is a tree branch covering the vegetation of the entire sky, a bit of a world tree... The only difference is that I don't know if it's because of this tree, the 'hinterland' space of the Dark Continent is filled with dark red light, like Shura Purgatory.
Dim and oppressive.
As for the heavens, they are completely shrouded in the canopy of trees, like a whirlpool.
"Under this tree, there are three Optimus Giants that are about to reach the height of the branches... I can't see clearly, but my body is similar to that of a human. There's a mushroom field on the left, then a volcano, dinosaur-like primitive creatures on the right, and some weird-looking territory... If the location we land on is really a little bit on this picture, then the information in this image is a great help! Hao wasn't sure, but he just wrote down everything in the picture.
If it's the same as he thinks.
The information on this picture may only cover the edge of the Dark Continent, not the core hinterland.
After all, he didn't see the 'door' on this picture.
Then, his gaze shifted down... It falls on its own attribute annotation.
Combat power level: A-class lifeform and consciousness body in the Dark Continent. (No rules).
Comprehensive attribute evaluation: extra-dimensional life in the human world.
Eco-chain score: 25.
Food Chain Status: Downstream.
The panel has changed again, and there are two more ecological chains and food chains.
The word downstream is a bit jarring.
Before coming, in the human world, Hao Ke had already achieved a real No1.
After all, Don F&F is not there.
He is number one.
After a turn, he returned the same way.
Men Qi didn't make a fire, she just simply processed the ingredients, that is, octopus meat.
A few people were eating.
"Captain, the pointer is out of order." Fante said in a deep voice.
At sea, for some reason, it is difficult to discern the direction, and it can only be judged by the current, but on land, I didn't expect the compass to be scrapped.
This is quite fatal for the expedition team.
Because once you're deep on land, it's not easy to go back the way you came.
"It's normal, the life energy in this land is extremely huge, and the special environment and ecology also make the magnetic field extremely chaotic and violent..."
"Like, Nitro and they, it's not like that."
Anthony wondered.
"Their route, the landing site is very safe."
Hazy said.
As soon as these words came out, several people fell silent.
"To put it simply, because the life energy is too strong, the magnetic field is disordered, which means... It is possible that there is more than one terrifying creature in our vicinity, although we can't see it, they are quite far from the location, but remember... That's just for us, farther away. And for them, we might be right under their noses right now... We can't see them, but they can detect us at any time, the question is, whether they notice it or not. ”
"Moreover, the natural magnetic field of this heaven and earth itself is different from that of the human world."
Hao held out a finger, "Don't forget what I said, when you set off from the ship, you are going to change the way people think. ”
"You can't judge everything here by the common sense of the human world."
"Wait for me to stand guard, you guys first recuperate and get a good night's sleep." Hao squatted down and said solemnly: "After dawn, everyone must always remain in a state of absoluteness, we also have our advantages, the individual is small enough to be discovered... We need to replenish our resources first, and find a fixed hiding spot, which is a place to live, and learn to adapt to it first, rather than going deeper or exploring it directly. ”
"Remember the purpose of our trip, don't care about any gains, everything starts with understanding."
"Yes."
Several people glanced at each other and said in unison.
