The level of danger in the oasis is not at all comparable to that of the desert.

In almost every area, strange creatures and environments appear.

Here, hunting between food chains is more intense.

After walking through the sea of flowers, they stepped into a 'forbidden area of life'.

The so-called forbidden area of life is due to the fact that there are a large number of 'ghost whistle grass balls' here, which at first glance look like clumps of bushes, but these grass branches are extremely hard, like metal. In addition, on the ground, the natural growth is very fast, and the grass has many small holes, and when the wind blows, other sounds can be heard.

The sound is highly hypnotic, and when a creature falls asleep, a nearby monster that hides in the dirt crawls out and eats away the unconscious life.

This grass ball seems to be a kind of cooperative relationship with the strange insects, which are not affected by the rhythm of music, they only eat flesh and bones, and the blood shed by the corpse will nourish the grass ball.

Fortunately, the ability of the Ghost Whistle Grass Regiment also belongs to the soul, and it happened to be restrained by Hao, and the four of them passed without danger.

Further on, they finally saw the herd of beasts moving in the oasis.

These creatures are very similar to the life forms in the desert, there are no weirdness or rules involved, but they are simply large in size, and their appearance is close to the scope of human cognition. At least, Hazy has been seen in the illustrations of the original book, and it should belong to several relatively common and widely inhabited species in the Dark Continent.

Dinosaurs with two horns, elephants in pairs with futon-like ears, and fanged seals that are supposed to be in the ocean... As soon as they appeared, they saw the seal bite a dinosaur and swallow it bit by bite.

Seals are ten times the size of dinosaurs.

And the dinosaur was chasing the elephants...

In the Dark Continent, the appearance of creatures and the environment they adapt to are unpredictable.

Human common sense is useless here.

The four of them did not act rashly, and quietly observed for several hours, and found that this area is by far the most frequent area of biological activity in the oasis, which also shows that there are no lifeforms like tree people, elves, grass balls, etc., which are relatively safe.

Of course, the safety mentioned here does not include the bloody feast that is being staged, the truest side of the food chain.

The earth has been shaking and has not stopped, and all kinds of species have emerged one after another, hunting for the food they want to eat... The uninterrupted roaring sound made the three of them almost deaf and difficult to adapt.

Chaotic, intense.

After observing for several hours, he keenly noticed that no matter how much these lifeforms fought, they were deliberately avoiding a plant and did not seem to want to destroy it. It was a curved and circling, vine-like flower and plant, which could stand on the ground without any support, and the vine also had leaves on it, and some small injured creatures would actively secrete drops of nectar for the creature to lick when they approached.

After eating the liquid of the vine, the wound on the surface of the organism healed quickly.

Some of the smaller creatures, about the size of humans, have their leaves curled up and encased in them.

It's like a small house.

Wait until the nearby battle is over, and then release the creatures hiding inside.

"Magical..."

Suddenly, my heart was sudden.

The Dark Continent has a unique environment, and although large lifeforms can hunt small creatures, small creatures can also use some advantages to avoid evil, such as using foreign objects. Every creature has its own way of survival, and this vine seems to be a 'rescue station' for the creatures in the oasis, able to save lives in times of crisis. And the special smell emitted by the vines themselves seems unbearable for some large species.

Even after some vines have been occupied, the small species that follow will be very 'polite' to look for other idle 'rooms'.

"Found it."

Haze smiled.

It's simply the best 'sanctuary'.

First, there is no transcendent life force here, there is just chaos between predator and prey, although it is still full of danger, but for the four of them, it is the best situation. There are both large creatures and small creatures, and they can also be used as a natural testing ground for the three of Menqi to practice.

Second, the scope of the oasis is not smaller than that of the desert, but it is more difficult to travel... It took them more than half a year to get out of the desert, and this oasis will probably take even longer.

He didn't have anything, but for the three of Menqi, there was no way to hold on.

Then, before the three of them could react, they saw the captain suddenly fly into the air like an anti-aircraft gun, using the terrifying bounce to join the chaotic beast battlefield.

At first, there were no living beings, and they cared about this small living being.

And when the state of 'absolute' was lifted, in an instant, all kinds of creatures that were fighting and biting suddenly stopped moving, and their eyes focused on the ground one after another, the inconspicuous little black dot.

"It's a natural instinct..."

Haze smiled slightly.

The food chain in this area alone has its own balance, and it has become the norm.

And when a more powerful lifeform suddenly appears and destroys this food chain, all the creatures in the chain will react, that is, 'escape'!

Because... It's time to build a new order.

Rumble!

The monstrous black fog was detonated and spread like a virus.

At this moment, the seal, which was the size of a mountain, roared vigorously, screamed in fright, crawled clumsily and ran wildly, and even ate half of the food, and the corpse of the half dinosaur was thrown away.

The elephants also scattered as birds, and scattered in all directions.

A huge white centipede, desperately throwing aside the layers of the earth, trying to burrow into the ground.

However, everything is in vain.

Where the ghost fog passes, life is lost.

As soon as the centipede plunged its head into the cracks in the ground, the black mist and ghosts flooded its body, and by the time the mist dissipated, it remained motionless and remained in this position forever.

"Captain... It's so strong, he's evolving every day... It never stopped. ”

In the eyes of the three Anthonys, this kind of scene is undoubtedly extremely shocking.

The horde of beasts that rioted and disordered a second ago filled the heavens and the earth, showing the tenacious vitality of things... The next second, it was as if someone had turned off the horn, and there was a dead silence. Those living beings, no matter how big or small, disappeared in front of them so quickly......

"He belongs here."

Men Qi echoed.

After such a long time, the three of them already knew Hao Hao's abilities very well.

As long as the soul is absorbed, the hazy can become infinitely stronger.

After a while, the black mist disappeared, and corpses were strewn everywhere.

"It's not dangerous... Come out. ”

In the hearts of the three of them, a faint laughter sounded.

In the middle of the night, the four of them stood beneath the vines that were standing upright in the air and growing in a straight line.

Looking up, the plant is as tall as a building.

Before the four of them could move, a vine implicated the branches and leaves, and it took the initiative to hang down, as if sensing Anthony's injury, rolling him up and gently wrapping him.

"Don't be nervous."

Seeing his uneasy expression, he comforted.

After only a few minutes, the branches and leaves fell and stretched again, and Anthony, with an incredulous face, landed on his feet and looked at his broken arm.

The arm that had been cut off by Men Qi grew back.

At this scene, both Menqi and Gebvich opened their mouths wide.

"It seems that the forces of the Dark Continent are not all malicious..."

Hao affirmed his thoughts, and said lightly: "Let's use this place as a base... You two have a good rest, too, I'll be on guard outside. ”

As he spoke, new branches and leaves had fallen, curling towards Menqi and Gebvich.

There was also a branch and leaf that approached the hazy, but he dodged it.

He doesn't seem to need treatment...

Although temporarily killing nearby lifeforms, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe, because the area of this area is very large, and other creatures may appear at any time, and it is the same reason as his arrival. The stability of this food chain is time-sensitive, and once some more powerful life form breaks into it, it becomes troublesome.

"Captain... You..."

Since the deaths of Fante and Rita, Gebvich, who had barely spoken, looked at Ha and stopped talking.

"It's okay... I'm in good shape. ”

Hazy knew what he was going to say.

The branches and leaves of this vine form a 'small room', and by vigorously hitting the leaves, the leaves will actively relax and release the contents inside. If you don't beat it, you can stay in it all the time, and according to Anthony, the leaves secrete a kind of juice that soaks it and repairs the flesh, and the temperature inside the leaves is also suitable.

At the same time, it releases a gas that is beneficial to life.

"The healing power, the way it eats... Is it to eat the 'pain'... Or, reap the joy? Hazy walked over to the root of the vine, reached out to the plant, and guessed.

The soul veins of this vine, giving him the feeling, are also warm and pure.

……

In the leaf room, Gebvich woke up from the juice covering his body, which was very magical, even if a person was lying in the liquid, he could breathe without any discomfort.

Because there is a certain gas in the room that is so dense that it can penetrate the juice and penetrate into the body.

And when he recovered, the juice in the room would disappear and become dry.

All he had to do was tap the blades hard and he was gone.

But instead of doing that, he took out a diary.

This diary is very special, not for recording the team's experiences on the Dark Continent, or to record some species and information.

This is his private diary.

Today is May 18th, and under the leadership of the captain, we finally came to a 'safe place' in the oasis through many dangers. It's safe, but in fact, it's still a gladiatorial arena of death for me and Menqi, and Anthony, and of course, with the captain there, everything is different..."

'The captain is still so strong... He will always be a symbol of strength, both strength and will. Sometimes I even wonder how he did it, when he was not a few years older than me... Hehe. ’

'In the human world, everyone who has known the captain has the impression of him as cold, terrible, unfathomable, and ruthless... But over time, I found out that this is not the case... He cares about us, but he doesn't say it, his actions speak for themselves. Unfamiliar environment, unknown dangers, he is always at the forefront... He never showed the slightest fear or panic in front of us, he gave the three of us a full sense of security, he was doing everything he could, I don't regret following him to the Dark Continent, he made me meet the most interesting group of people in my life's journey. ’

'There's a wonderful plant that grows here that heals all flesh wounds, and thanks to the new discoveries, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the captain has made this a stronghold. I thought, next... What awaits the three of us will be a long and painful practice and ordeal. But I didn't resist, but I looked forward to it... I'm going to work hard, and I'm going to polish myself hard, because I don't want to lose a companion again. ’

'The captain did not receive medical treatment... The disaster left shocking scars on his face and body, and he had the means to absorb life force, but he never used it. I think... He took the scar as some kind of warning, not wanting to forget, but also remembering Fante and Rita. Although the captain hasn't mentioned Van and Rita since, a few of us deliberately haven't mentioned them... But, in our hearts, everyone remembers. ’

Halfway through writing, Gebvich pulled something out of the package, a crumpled box of cigarettes.

Fante smokes it often.

'Uncle Fante, in the past, when the captain was away, it was often you who stood up and protected us... And I am also growing and getting stronger, and one day, I will definitely become a real man, just like you! Brother Anthony and Sister Menqi, you don't have to worry, I will take care of them and protect them. ’

'Rita... Don't worry, when I return from the Dark Continent, I will definitely visit your hometown and donate a lot of money to make everyone live a good life. Also, about what you said on the ship... That's right. Ha ha... You are indeed the one who knows the captain best, he is the man we all admire, and his words will be successful, we all believe that. ’

After slatching down on the paper, Gebvich smiled.

Then, his expression changed, and he put away the diary and returned to indifference.

After finishing up his mood, he hit the leaves hard and fell to the ground.

"This is the end of the exploration, and the three of you will have to gradually adapt to the food chain and environment here, and learn to fight the life forms that inhabit your surroundings alone. Before we do that, let's take a look at the surrounding environment. ”

Hao looked at the three people who had recovered and said softly: "Aside from the cultivation concept of Nian, here, it is the life energy that is closer to the origin... I will also guide you and turn your thinking and perception around the diversity of vibrations... With this kind of vine, you can fight with confidence, but if you encounter something weird, rules, etc., remember to avoid it as soon as possible. ”

"It's going to be a long process..."

After speaking, the eyes of the three of them did not waver, and they nodded: "Let's start." ”
