After dawn, the temperature began to warm up, and after a few simple preparations, a few people embarked on a journey into this strange continent.

During the day, you can look up at the sky, there will be sunlight and clouds, but it is limited to a limited area overhead, and at the end of the horizon, there are still shadows hanging low, and it seems that the further you go, the more dim the light and shadows become.

There is a feeling of stepping from day to night.

It was clear that it was because a 'towering tree' in the middle of the land was blocking everything.

Of course, this is all just his speculation at the moment, and it has not yet been confirmed.

"The temperature is starting to rise..."Several people walked cautiously, not daring to walk fast, on the one hand, to save physical strength, and on the other hand, for fear of causing some dangerous perceptions. Almost only after they were sure that there was no danger in the vicinity did they set off.

It's just that the location of their landing and the current environment are also different from the data of V5.

They seem to have chosen a very bad route.

In just a few hours, the temperature of the desert, which was originally bitterly cold, rose sharply, and it turned into a big furnace.

And right now, it's not yet the hottest time of noon.

"Water must be found right away." His brow furrowed.

At this moment, he suddenly reached out and stopped his teammates.

Without an order, the five of Men Qi instantly turned into horses and disappeared in place, hiding behind a few pieces of rubble to hide themselves.

Only Hazy was still standing in place.

Hazy looked indifferently ahead, sensing a soul fluctuation a few kilometers away.

The ability of the 'other party' to conceal his breath is a must.

It's hard to spot it by simply using a 'circle' to sense.

A 'soul form' hidden under the sand appeared in the hazy brain, as if it were a strange-looking monitor lizard, similar to a chameleon. This creature's ability to hide and camouflage is innate, and it is also one of its abilities to be a member of the food chain of the Dark Continent, to the surprise of Hao, I don't know if it is related to the special ecology of the Dark Continent, a monster with such a strong vitality, born with the control of breath, is perfect... It is almost more terrifying than the human beings who have cultivated the 'absolute' mind ability to the extreme.

Human beings have practiced all their lives, and this monster has been around since birth...

If it weren't for his soul ability, I'm afraid even he would have to step into this trap.

Haze stood still.

Soon, above the ground in front of him, a huge wave of sand rushed up, and a column of water like a sweet spring erupted from the ground and overflowed in the sky, forming a beautiful rainbow.

The heat in the desert was staggering and lasted for a while, and in this case, the sudden appearance of a water source undoubtedly brought hope to many 'lives', including the Hazy Squad.

What they lack most at the moment is water.

Water is more important than food.

The water was rushing down, soaking in sand.

It didn't take long for Hao to witness a black scorpion rushing from a distance, still very large.

Peculiarly, there is more than one scorpion tail with a long and poisonous hook.

The scorpion ran wildly to the water source that suddenly appeared, standing still, sucking the water from the sand. But as soon as it stood still, suddenly, the vast desert ground collapsed, creating a whirlpool. An abyssal mouth poked up from below, biting the scorpion directly, swallowing it into its mouth, revealing half of its head.

It's what Hazy senses... A lizard hiding on the ground.

This kind of picture is very shocking, firstly, because of the 'majestic' body shape of the creature, and secondly, because of this kind of impact on the line of sight, which nakedly presents the high and low sequences between the food chain of the Dark Continent, and the relationship between hunting and being hunted.

The fountain of water is a certain ability of the lizard, the purpose of which is to lure some prey into the trap.

The scorpion is obviously a trick!

The scorpion's terrifying scorpion tail kept stabbing at the lizard, and it wanted to struggle, and it made a piercing hissing sound.

But because of the latter's hard scale armor, it didn't work... Eventually, it was eaten.

From the moment it happened to the end, it was very fast.

In just a few minutes, the desert ahead was calm again.

As if nothing had ever happened.

The water that infects the sand also evaporates quickly due to the high temperature, and it becomes untraceable.

A few people in the door have been hiding and didn't dare to come out, and a few people are pale... They all sensed the tyrannical, turbulent aura, which fully foreshadowed the horror of its life carrier.

Hao waited for a while, and sure enough, another familiar jet of water erupted, the same as just now.

Some mist drifted over, and vaguely, there was a milky and tempting sweetness.

The pupils gradually decrease.

Get one’s dander up...

Under his perception, the scorpion was eaten by the lizard... But this is normal.

What made his heart palpitate was that the lizard, after devouring its prey, seemed to have more than just breath... Even the soul has grown a little stronger.

It made him think of one thing in an instant.

Meluaim's talent.

The ant king has the instinct to 'eat', and after eating the brain tissue of the mind-ability, the qi will become stronger... To put it bluntly, it can evolve infinitely! It was similar to Hazy's ability, which he thought was just a special case.

But now, that's not the case at all!

Humans eat food to sustain life and take in nutrients... But in essence, there is no way to turn something into 'power' that is eaten, and there is a very necessary procedure in the middle, which is cultivation!

And the creatures of the Dark Continent don't seem to be like that.

They can be digested and absorbed by the essence of life energy!

Note that it is the absorption of energy... It's not as simple as eating living things.

It's scary...

This means that it is highly likely that most of the life in the Dark Continent... There is a property in their food chain.

As long as you 'eat', you can become stronger, which will make the species in the food chain more cruel and bloody to fight each other... Humans, on the other hand, do not have this ability. At least in the current human world, no human has this trait, unless they have some special ability.

There is the possibility of 'evolution'!

Evolved, always evolving...

No one knows how many years the Dark Continent has existed, so doesn't it mean that some of the ancient creatures on this continent are all 'extradimensional species' that stand at the top of the food chain and have evolved to an unknown level?

It's the same as raising Gu.

Insight into this means that there must be several or several of them and a group of the most terrible 'things' on this land.

His heart was beating wildly.

Nitro's report to v5 doesn't state this, but... Perhaps the old man realized it, so he forbade humans to set foot on this continent.

"Thankfully, we've developed the ability to stack passives... Otherwise, I don't even have the basic qualifications to participate in this game, evolution... Just a ticket. "The reason why I was able to evolve is because of my strong digestion and absorption ability... In essence, it is still the difference in the structure of life. ”

I can't imagine that humans who have not yet migrated to the island of the lake have this trait, at least now... It's gone.

He thought of Alugar again.

The kind of living matter that involves the energy of the regular system.

Any kind of living being, the power it possesses, is for survival, this is the law.

Ha once believed that Alujah relied on the desires of the human heart as bait to obtain the 'food' he needed, but what was his food?

Although on the surface, it is not visible to the naked eye.

There's no connection to food, it just seems to be 'joking'.

But as long as anyone who is recruited or close to him is dead... What you pay for is your life.

If Aluja can really transform the 'outer life' into a longevity through his own power... That undoubtedly touches on the essence of life energy.

It has no physical body, and naturally it doesn't need to eat physically, but what it needs... What can sustain its survival, or its existence all the time, is the life energy.

Not just flesh and blood, spirit and soul, but also one.

If you look at it this way, both the Ant King and the Aluka are close to the essence of 'continuous evolution through hunting and absorbing life energy'.

Is this a trait that belongs exclusively to the Dark Continent?

The evolutionary nature of the Alugar is not very prominent, but it does not mean that there is no ... It's just that it's still relatively young, and its 'way of eating' is not very conventional.

Thinking about this, Hao was a little creepy.

He wasn't sure if all the species in the Dark Continent had 'evolved' properties, or if... Limited to a part.

Even so, I don't dare to delve into it... Because it's terrifying.

He now vaguely understood Nitro's 'good intentions'.

Looking at this world again, I felt like a 'deplorable' who had lost his way and strayed into the abyss.

"No matter how poor the human world is, it is still a relatively safe paradise... And here, it's a real hell. ”

Murmuring to himself.

"It's just a pity... I'm still coming. ”

"Because I already have the qualifications and tickets to participate in the game... Evolved from this... The most real hunting feast, how could I miss it..."

"Prey vs. Predator..."

"I seem to prefer this side a little, after all, not mixed with any intrigue, but more pure, who is stronger... Whoever lives. ”

In the next second, Hao suddenly laughed.

There was a hint of bloodthirsty desire in his eyes.

He came here... It's also for evolution!

As he spoke, he walked alone towards the rising water.
