Whether it's V5, Nitro, or Biyangde, Hao thinks that the distance these people have traveled deep into the Dark Continent is definitely not comparable to them.

And the five calamities and hope to be discovered by them show that the herbs for longevity rice and curing all diseases exist on the edge of the continent, but they landed in the wrong direction, and as soon as they walked in, it was a desert, so they didn't see it.

Geographical deviations.

But at this time, there is an oasis ... There's a good chance that that peculiar plant will appear!

Who wouldn't want to eat longevity rice if it can increase longevity?

Hao's physical strength has now far surpassed that of Nitro, but without the blessing of longevity rice, he thinks that once the time limit is up, he will still die... At most, it's just a little bit longer.

This is far from enough to explore the Dark Continent.

After a long time, the four of them stepped out of the tall and dense green grass for them, and came to a flat area.

The weeds here have become normal, just like in the human world, down to the ankles.

The grass alone is particularly colorful, not a single green.

"Captain."

Menqi stretched out his hand and pointed to a location.

Hazy looked over and narrowed his eyes.

Directly in front of them on the left, at ten o'clock, there were four or five gorgeous flowers, about half a meter high, bright red overall, and in the open buds, there were not stamens, but a fist-sized lens.

It seems to be the 'fruit' of this flower.

Now that they had some experience, they immediately judged that this was the 'hope' they were looking for.

"It's not longevity rice or vanilla..."

After seeing it, his face couldn't help but be lost.

The ecology of this area is obviously different from the place where Nitro landed, which also creates a different variety of organisms.

It's not longevity rice...

If the fruit represents hope that does not bring them immediate benefits, it is worthless.

Hao led the four of them to take care of themselves.

The three of them turned their heads to look at the other side, a few hundred meters away... There stood two wolf-like 'creatures' that walked upright like humans, covered in white hair. What is more noticeable is that on the backs of the two monsters, there are white skeletons hanging from them, which have been polished into some kind of sharp weapons.

The wolf rat has double eyes and red eye sockets.

After seeing a few tiny lifeforms approaching the flowers, they let out a rapid cry, rolled up the weapons on their backs, and leaped forward, moving sideways on the ground at a rapid speed. The three of them had calm expressions and didn't remind them, because even they saw it... The captain must have noticed the two foreign objects a long time ago.

Straight to the flowers, but I didn't take them to heart.

Before the wolf and rat could sprint, a cloud of black mist had already spilled out of Hazy's body, condensing into a familiar mist body.

Ant King Meluaim.

Immediately after, the ant queen disappeared in place.

The speed is higher than that of the two wolf rats, and its appearance and action are completely unloaded by the black fog, and it seems to be a single soul individual, with more powerful abilities, which can get rid of the ghost fog.

Poof!

The two monsters that had just flown into the air with amazing bounce power flew away with a wisp of black smoke, lost their breath in an instant, and fell to the ground as dead objects.

Meluaim looked at the two corpses, licked his lips unsatisfactorily, walked towards the hazy position, and after a few steps, the figure dispersed like a cloud...

Hao raised his hand to stop the three of Menqi, and he walked alone in front of the delicate flowers.

On the ground beside him, there was something stuck crookedly.

Although the shape is different, it is very similar to the one that Hazy recognizes... Scarecrow.

The farmers of the human world often use this to deceive and deter some wild animals that often plague the farmers.

The scarecrow is a skeleton inside, clad in some kind of animal skin... It is shaped by a series of woven straw ropes.

There are also some strange patterns painted on the hides with blood.

It's like a charm.

"This kind of thing ......"

Staring at the scarecrow, his heart sank.

Along the way, no matter what kind of life form you encounter, there is no such performance similar to that of humans.

It's already a custom or a custom.

"Nearby... There are definitely advanced lifeforms! ”

A chill ran through the soles of his feet.

His instincts reminded him that the scarecrow was dangerous.

But looking at it, the fruit on the flower is extraordinary, and it is a pity to give up so much.

Disasters are often proportional to hope.

The greater the danger, the greater the hope.

Hazy stepped over the scarecrow with her feet up, just reaching out to pluck the ruby-like fruit.

Suddenly, the straw man seemed to move, and suddenly looked over like an electric shock... It's business as usual, it's like an illusion.

He reaffirmed that the straw man had no soul, just an empty shell.

Then there was a thud, and the scarecrow was shattered.

Then, a ghostly mist was released to sweep through a few flowers, devouring and absorbing the unformed souls in their bodies.

If the soul is not formed, it means that these flowers do not have sound and mature thinking or consciousness, and they are simply vegetation, and their spiritual power is thin.

The vitality was cut off, a few flowers were immediately tilted and planted, and Hao also successfully picked a few fruits.

Go back quickly.

"Captain, that's... Scarecrow..."

Anthony looked at the shattered hides and bone fragments on the ground, and wondered.

"There's no fuss, human beings migrated from the Dark Continent to the island in the lake, and it is normal that there is some kind of civilization left here, from the available information, there is still a human city on this continent, but it seems that there is nothing in it, it is empty. More like ruins... The route we chose this time was the same as that of East Fulix, but it was the opposite of the empty city. The life energy of the Dark Continent is too strong, and some highly intelligent species will naturally be born... This also shows that the human beings in the past at least had some influence on this land. Hao said lightly.

He spoke calmly.

In fact, the truth was not revealed.

I don't want to upset the door Qi.

He glanced at the ruined scarecrow again, having a bad premonition.

In his current dimension of life, his intuition is far beyond his ability to think... There must be a reason why the straw man gives him a great sense of danger.

Curse?

Uncanny?

Still is......

Hazy thought in his heart.

"Let's go first."

He had the fruit in his hand, and he didn't have time to look at it carefully, so he hurriedly commanded.

Then, the four of them left together.

The two wolfrats were probably there very early, but they didn't seek the fruit, probably because the fruit wasn't on their diet, although it was some kind of hope for humans.

But for the creatures of the Dark Continent, the value is far less high... However, Hazy prefers to believe that the two-headed monster is afraid of the scarecrow.

It's just a shelf.

"A sign?"

Claim territory?

On the way away, Hao thought.

If it's a curse... At least there will be energy, no matter what form of attack, even if it involves rules, there will be no effect without energy.

Before Alujah kills, he will also reveal his true body, which will be manifested as 'spiritual energy', that is, 'soul appearance'.

Her energy comes from the ontology.

Because of the rules, it becomes invisible.

Even if it is an invisible energy, there are still traces to follow.

For example, twisting a living body into a twist to make people explode to death, or a spaceship in the sky spilling cash... These are themselves caused by 'forces'.

Hazy didn't feel any 'energy' in the scarecrow, which didn't mean that there was no danger, because some kind of energy could come to him at any time through the rules.

Like Aluka's ability, twist him into a twist... That's where the perversion of the rules comes in.

But it's not the first time that Hao has come into contact with the power of rules, and he was a player of the 'rules of the game' himself.

There are two kinds of rules of confrontation, the first is to follow the 'rules of the other side', look for loopholes, and thus destroy.

Second, it is its own energy, which exceeds the power of the opponent's rules to the point where it can be controlled.

Energy is always the driving force of the source.

This was the case when Hazy killed the elders of the Bozwa.

The first method is no longer applicable to Hao, because he does not understand the rules of 'potential danger' and has no intelligence.

What he can do is to contend with his own strength at the moment when the energy pushed by the rules comes.

The power of rules can twist a person into a twist, but what if that person is as hard as a steel plate on its own?

The source of the driving rules must pay a greater price!

Rules can be seen as a disguised control and constraint, although buggy, but not absolute.

The same goes for the earliest rules of the game, although it has to be done in accordance with the way the game, but if the individual ability is strong enough, it is possible to ignore the disadvantages brought by the rules... It's just that his opponents couldn't do it at that time.

Because it's so hard...

The stronger the constraints and changes of the rules, the stronger the things that need to be released in themselves.

Otherwise, the effect will only be weakened.

Of course, that scarecrow doesn't necessarily involve the rules... It could also be spooky.

What is spooky... It's the companion that Kurapika was supposed to meet, Melody.

The dark sonata she heard was most likely from the Dark Continent...

Extremely damaging to the soul.

Zobaai's disease, one of the five major disasters, is also a typical example.

Hazy's soul ability also fits the weird characteristics.

But whether it's weird or extraordinary, there are signs of energy.

The scarecrow didn't, so the only thing Hao could think of was the rules... Otherwise, his bad premonition would not have come out of nowhere.

Of course, his conjecture may also be wrong.

The danger lies in the equations.

If it weren't for the rules, he could have breathed a sigh of relief.

"Demon King..."

Thinking of the Dark Sonata, Hao had to think of a life that mostly existed in the Dark Continent.

The fruit can not be taken, he can not take risks.

But Hao is very clear that the rules... It is impossible to avoid it in this land.

He must... Accept it early.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
