After all, a few people brought the water source.

No way... It's a resource that sustains their lives.

Now that he has come to the Dark Continent, this kind of trivial matter is not much of an enlightenment.

The six of them soon left the place and disappeared to the surface.

Time passes slowly... The Hazy team stops and goes, and in general, as long as the Hazy doesn't perceive any danger, they will move quickly. Although from the perspective of life energy alone, a few people except Hao can't take the stage, but after all, they are mind-ability... If you run at full strength, you can cross an area of 100 kilometers in one day.

However, they still have not been able to get out of this desert.

Judging from the illustrations restored by the system, this desert area does not seem to be large, and if you go further, you can encounter a sea of forests and rivers... Just put it into reality, still invisible.

It's very close on the map, but the distance in reality is probably extremely far.

At noon, the desert heat climbed to the extreme, and the six of them could only hide in the shadow of the stones, and even then they were sweating profusely and soaking wet.

If you come out of the shadows, you feel like even the skin and flesh will be burned... Moreover, they also saw a variety of species with strange bodies.

According to Hao's judgment, this place belongs to the most marginal area of the Dark Continent, so the life forms that appear may be relatively simple, and they are basically monsters with huge individuals and some kind of talent. There are no supernatural elements, weirdness, or rules involved, and the deeper you go, the more likely you are to bump into other lifeforms.

Judging from the ecological chain of the Dark Continent, these monsters have been driven to the edge area, which means... They are basically at the bottom of the sequence.

The weakest?

When they heard Hao's explanation, the men and the others couldn't believe it.

Because in their eyes, any of these monsters, put into the human world... It's not something that the mind can handle.

Ordinary telekinesis, in the face of absolutely powerful flesh and blood, is a joke.

"Get ready... We may be in the desert for a long time. Hazy admonished.

In this way, several people hurried during the day and rested at night.

As the distance grew, more and more monsters were seen.

Without exception, they all died at the hands of Hao in the end.

For one, this desert is not a good place to hide, and there are no safe houses to be found. Second, it seems that at night, monster activities will be more intensive, and it is inconvenient for a few people to hurry, but during the day, because of the high temperature, many creatures will hide and be relatively safe.

Although the temperature is a bit unbearable.

…

Half a month later.

The few people were ragged and unkempt, looking like a group of beggars, very embarrassed.

At this time, it was dusk, and there was a noise above the desert.

I saw a large black mist shrouded in the sky, and finally returned to one person's body.

The hazy body slowly descended from the void, fading away from the state of soulification.

On the ground, a large spider covered in spikes curled up in its paws, lifeless.

The surrounding sand has been completely corroded by a milky white liquid, and the green smoke coming out is very pungent, which is the venom of spiders... Hold your breath and concentrate and shrink the pores of your body.

Even after the venom evaporated, there was still a burning sensation in the air, but fortunately, his flesh was not low in defense.

If it is replaced by a few people, I am afraid that it will not be able to prevent the toxin from entering the body.

After waiting for a long time, after the poisonous gas dissipated, several teammates carrying backpacks approached one after another.

Men Qi held the knife in both hands, and immediately walked to the corpse and began to check if there was any part that could be dissected and used as food... Anthony and Fante looked around, on their guard.

Gebvich pulled out his journal and began to take notes...

On their trip, all the monsters they encountered, Gebvich will write them down, so that everyone can analyze them at night and ensure that they can better deal with them next time they encounter them.

Rita was beating Menqi up.

Everyone has a different division of labor, but it seems to be orderly.

The initial fear and anxiety are long gone.

But... Hao glanced at the five people and sighed in his heart.

The mental outlook of these five people is similar to that of the two when they first set foot on the Dark Continent.

Tiredness, high levels of nervousness, constant palpitations... Every emotion is a tempering and testing of their will, and besides, just in this desert area, monsters appear very frequently.

The difference in strength displayed by each creature made the men Qi and the others feel desperate.

If it weren't for Haku, they would have died long ago...

Even at night, even if they keep vigil, they can't sleep well, and they wake up at the slightest disturbance.

This kind of living environment is too torturous!

The five of them were all bloodshot and cheered up in action...

And they're worried that one day, Hazy leaves the team for some reason, or doesn't have time to protect them...

Although a few people didn't say it, Hao could feel it.

To be able to make it this far, to be honest, as human beings, as mind-ability people, they are already amazing.

"Captain, you can drink."

After a moment, Men Qi held up a bag made of animal skins and said softly.

It was filled with spider blood, and the blood was pale green... It smells fishy.

Rita on the side manipulates the ability to rewind the plants soaked in blood.

The team is now living a life of drinking blood, eating the flesh and blood of monsters when they are hungry, sometimes they will be roasted, sometimes they will be eaten raw... Everyone is used to it.

In the desert, there are only a few resources that can be used and found, and they would not have been able to travel this far without the monsters they hunted.

Menqi only cut off a piece of flesh and blood, enough for them to eat for a meal, and used some of the rest as food storage, and then left.

In the evening, a few people built a simple fortress out of stones and sat around it.

Hao opened the system panel and took a look.

In the past half a month, the number of monsters he has killed has been at least dozens, but neither the status of the food chain nor the ecological score have increased.

This made him realize that wanting to level up in a new power system, it seems... It's not your average difficulty.

It's nowhere near as easy as it is in the human world.

"That potion... Gone, right? ”

Hazy put away the system and looked at Fante.

"It's gone."

Fante nodded heavily.

The so-called potion is the 'urine of the lizard', not just the water source... Rita had been injured by an octopus at sea, but after drinking the liquid, she quickly recovered.

This liquid obviously has a curative effect, but when they were in a hurry to leave the battlefield, they didn't pack much of it.

After many hunts, although they avoided it far away, they were still affected by some impact, and thanks to this potion, they were able to maintain their condition.

However, not every creature's body tissue has a peculiar effect, and that lizard is just a special case.

After a while, Men Qi handed over the processed white meat piece by piece.

Several people took it one by one and ate it directly with their mouths... The flesh was hard, hard as weathered leather, but they ate it without changing their faces.

"Captain, how long will it take to get out of here?"

Anthony asked.

The nose of the plane, which the man had been carefully cared for in the past, was long gone, his long hair was scattered, and his face was covered with dust.

Monsters or something, they're used to it.

Just to get out of this harsh environment.

"I can't say, maybe a few months, maybe a few years...", Hao said lightly.

“……”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet for a while.

The atmosphere was a little oppressive.

"Huh?"

At this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared above the heads of several people.

It stands out in the night sky.

Gebvich glanced at it and made a sound, "Fireflies? ”

In midair, a glow the size of a bean grain flickered, gradually gathering and emitting a pale yellow light.

It's no wonder that Gebvich was a little distracted for a while, since they stepped into the Dark Continent until now, it was the first time they had seen such a tiny creature... It's about the same as the flies and insects of the human world.

Looks... There doesn't seem to be any harm either.

It's beautiful...

The insects seemed to be very sensitive to sound, and as soon as Gebvich spoke, he saw the swarm spin into a yellow vortex, spiral and fly down, heading straight for the pile of rocks where they were hiding.

"Scatter!"

The pupils shrank, and he suddenly drank!

Fante grabbed Gebvich, who was still stunned, and instantly strode wildly.

In just two seconds, there was only one person left in the stone pile.

However, the swarm suddenly turned into several strands, each trailing towards the team members, and at an extremely fast speed.

Form a stirring band of light in the air!

Hao didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately swung his fist in the air and blasted at the swarm.

When the first bug was shattered by the fist, it didn't fall into debris or drift away with the wind, but exploded! A bug doesn't seem to be big, but at the moment it bursts, the fireball and power that burn and swell up are like a compressed supermissile, and the power is terrifying.

What's worse is that the death of a small insect seems to have caused a chain reaction... Caused the entire swarm to explode.

Under the darkness of the night, on the dark earth, dots of fluorescent light flickered, and with the deafening explosion, it turned into an endless sea of light, engulfing everything.

Hao only had time to release all his mental power and transform into a soul form, and in the next second, he was drowned in a sea of dazzling light.

Flames and heat melt everything.

The hazy ghostly mist swept in all directions in an instant, and the rolling black tide tried to envelop the bursting and spreading firelight.

But... The black barrier formed by the ghostly mist, or telekinesis, was like a rag, and it was quickly burned through the hole and quickly dissolved.

This extreme flame high temperature, even hazy telekinesis... Unstoppable!

Ghost mist, that is, telekinesis... Sudden evaporation.

It's been five or six minutes... The sea of light that sprung up finally passed.

However, the entire desert is filled with flowing lava and black smoke, making it feel as if you are in a volcanic crater.

The air is boiling... Can't breathe at all.

In mid-air, the condensed ghost mist formed a black giant cocoon, covering the haze in the soul state.

When the ghost fog opens, the hidden haze is revealed.

Half of his face, along with half of his body, was burned!

Heart-rending pain!

But Hao didn't care about this at this time, and flew out of the lava scorched earth like an arrow from the string.

In the middle of the night, when he fell from the sky, he froze.

On the ground below, there were two people, two charred corpses...

Although Hao's timely action allowed the swarm to detonate around him, everything happened too fast!

Even if it is far away from the core area of the explosion, the high temperature of the impact is enough to destroy ordinary life forms.

It is unrealistic to resist this force with thoughts.

If it weren't for his ghost mist, he would have briefly suppressed the time for the power to spread... Fight for a little space for your teammates, then... The men and a few people may have been vaporized, not to run so far, just to be scorched by the heat.

The corpse standing in front was Fante.

From the physical point of view, before dying, it seems that he wanted to protect his teammates... He is a person with the ability to strengthen the mind, and from the physical fitness and strength of the mind alone, it is the best choice for him to bear the injury, resisting and buffering the aftermath of the first wave of explosions.

Fante has always been positioned in the team as a 'bodyguard' type... After all, he is also relatively old and mature.

The corpse in the back is undoubtedly Rita...

She touched the ground with her hands, presumably using her ability before she died, urging the vegetation to form a 'protective shield', and although she didn't have many seeds left, she always carried them with her...

Behind the two corpses, there were three men and three men who had passed out.

Their bodies were burned red, but they were still breathing.

If they stay any longer, the high temperature that has not yet cooled down will kill them.

Hao closed his eyes, stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the two charred corpses, and then, took the three of them and fled quickly.

…

He's dead.

Sudden death and danger.

There were no signs.

The ghost mist he released in advance didn't even sense the appearance of those bugs...

The soul is related to the spirit, and these bugs obviously don't have a 'mind', but just follow some kind of instinct... So, the fluctuations of the soul are minimal.

For those large creatures, the human life energy is weak, but for these bugs, it is just the right food for them. ’

The food chain of the Dark Continent is not a single one, but is composed of countless threads that converge together.

Large lifeforms can hunt equal beings, and small lifeforms naturally have their own circles.

Hao made a mistake, the strength of life energy can indeed measure whether a species is strong or not, but it is not applicable to all life forms on the Dark Continent.

At least, it's useless in things like supernatural power and weirdness and rules.

The life energy of the insect is very small, but its danger is very terrifying.

Life energy should not be equated with danger.

Hazy, I was taught a lesson.

Price... Whether it was at the expense of two teammates, his thinking, or not breaking away from the common sense of human beings.

Extraordinary power...

This bug belongs to this sequence.

The ultimate fire element, the power after the explosion, even he in the soul state can burn.

Let the ghost mist made of telekinesis melt like snow.

In essence, it was the life energy he released that was destroyed by external attacks.

What is supernatural power... It means that a certain power has reached the extreme, and it can ignore the 'effect of telekinesis'.

The effect of the mental ability is attached to the will of the individual.

The 'soul matter' should be empty and untouchable to external forces.

But... This is the purity of power!

Half an hour later, Hazy, who was not lightly injured, put the three men Qi in the fainting on the ground, and looked up at the night sky: "Yes... It's going too deep..."

Even if it's only more than half a month, he feels... Nitro and Bijande and the others probably didn't travel to this extent, and it is more likely that they are wandering along the coastline.

"Voice."

Hazy muttered again.

Those bugs are attracted to sound, and they seem to be able to perceive even the faintest sound source.

Extremely sensitive to sound frequency.

Gebvich only whispered softly, causing the swarm to riot.

"It can be resolved..."

Hao looked down at the half of his body that had been burned to the point of peeling, and his brows tightened.

If, at the time... He can detect it in advance, silence everyone, or even stop the heartbeat for a short time, maybe... will get away with it.

But now... It's too late to say anything.

His eyes flickered and fell silent.
