Chapter 442: Ancient Human Arrangements
The preparations were very thorough and the trip went much faster.
It originally took two months, but now it took only one month to reach the largest continent near the border waters.
"I call this continent Pizza Continent."
Bi Yangde began to introduce.
Strictly speaking, he had not fully explored the continent, but only used a corner of it as a place to rest.
Because ahead is an extremely dangerous sea area.
Along the way, I can say that I have personally felt the changes in the surrounding environment. The most obvious thing is that the sizes of various creatures have become larger.
Even creatures like mosquitoes are the size of a fist and are extremely dangerous.
The plants are even more exaggerated, with various enlarged versions.
Even though we haven't reached the Dark Continent yet, signs of large creatures have already appeared.
This time Bi Yangde's route did not deviate.
However, the focus is still on the waters close to the "border".
Bi Yangde still convened a large number of people for a meeting.
A nautical chart is projected onto the wall.
Bi Yangde began to introduce.
"After we pass Pizza Continent, we have to be on full alert. The protection team has a heavy task. Of course, members of other teams also need to pay attention..."
What matters are those who are weak.
Bi Yangde also began to introduce the dangers of the waters near the "border".
The first is biological hazards.
One from the air and one from the water.
Because of the sufficient preparation, even if an ordinary person fell ill during this trip, the problem was quickly resolved.
But from here on, the environment becomes different.
The first is the air. There are many other substances in it, but there has been no professional research, so it is impossible to fully figure out what is in it.
But people with poor physical constitution may get sick because of the air, and may suffer from various diseases.
These are all experiences that have been explored.
This reminded Lu Qi of an old foreign TV series before his rebirth, in which a man traveled to the dinosaur era and almost died when he returned to the modern era because of the air.
However, it is already obvious that the oxygen content in the air has increased a lot.
Every breath you take has a slight impact on your body.
In addition to the air, there are changes in the sea.
The first is the storms and sea whirlpools that may occur at any time.
Among them, the sea whirlpool is a key.
Bijand is not sure what exactly causes these vortices to form.
But the last time they deviated from their course was because of the vortex.
These whirlpools seem to form some underwater passages. If you can survive in the water, you will be thrown very far away by the whirlpools.
Moreover, certain substances in the seawater here seem to have increased, and ordinary ships will decay faster.
The influence of microorganisms.
As for the whirlpool, they don't need to worry too much because this ship is specially made with the ability to hover at low altitude and is not a complete sea vessel.
"Once we start from here, the hover flight mode will be activated."
Bi Yangde mentioned that the main threat is the huge creatures from the sea.
If you don't leave Lake Mobius through formal channels, you will be attacked by creatures. The repeated experiences of the five major countries and Biyangde's experience all indicate that these sea beasts seem to have received some kind of orders.
It could be the "gatekeeper".
This rest period lasted for seven days, allowing everyone to get into better condition.
At the same time, an exercise is conducted for ordinary scholars to teach them what to do if they encounter problems.
The seven days were also used to explore the Pizza Continent in their area.
There are many sub-human races on this continent, and even traces of "giants".
But for the sake of the itinerary, I didn't look for it deliberately.
Many hunters, including Jin Fulishi, are interested in this continent.
Maybe I will come to explore this place after returning from the Dark Continent.
Lucci was still using the Holy Grail to analyze.
The substances in the air are also being analyzed. There are certain substances in the air that promote biological evolution.
According to the analysis of the Holy Grail, it seems to come from the World Tree, not the World Tree in the world known to humans.
It is very likely a mature world tree.
Should we say it is worthy of being called the World Tree?
This substance is not completely positive. Due to the differences between individuals, it may lead to positive evolutionary improvements, but it may also affect the genetic collapse of organisms.
In addition, there are some dangerous substances. The Holy Grail is not omnipotent. According to analysis, we only know that some are produced by plants and some are produced by animals.
The biggest change is in microorganisms, with many unknown microorganisms appearing that can turn into terrible parasites once they enter the human body.
Seven days later, we officially set sail.
The members of the protection team all came to the deck, while the members of other teams stayed in the cabin, and the members of the God team were also on standby.
Once the ship is attacked and damaged, it is time for them to take action.
The members of the biology group were divided into small teams and stayed in their own rooms. At the same time, the rooms could only be given to those with special divine creations so that they could see the situation outside.
Always have your camera ready to capture any strange creatures that might appear.
The action team with telepathic abilities is at the entrance to the deck. If a living creature dies on the deck, they will immediately cut it up and distribute it to various biological teams for research and analysis.
Members of the medical team are also on standby.
The members of the exploration team have released various mind beasts, both in the air and in the water.
Explore the dangers around you.
The intelligence team allows various groups to communicate with each other and convey various commands and instructions.
This team also has the ability to monitor the weather.
Of course, the busiest group is the Food Hunter Team, but through the power of the divine word, they built a special kitchen on the ship.
A restaurant similar to Greedy Island that can directly materialize food.
Even though it was just materialized food, the ten powerful chefs from the Gourmet Association could only simply cook it by thinking about it.
It can help restore your energy.
The whole team was put into action.
As the ship enters the "border" area.
The intelligence team immediately conveyed the information that the surrounding water vapor and wind direction were changing.
Of course, compared to other people's perception is not sharp enough.
The first one to discover the changes was Lucci. As soon as the ship entered the "border" area, he felt that the surrounding "qi" was undergoing tremendous changes.
It was as if these various intruders had caused something.
As expected, this "border" area is decorated with something. Are they the humans who once came to Lake Mobius?
It was arranged by the gatekeeper's monster.
This kind of change is definitely a major project. If it is the latter, then it would be too powerful, right?
However, the first wave of attacks came from the air.
In the sky, there appeared all kinds of giant birds with wingspans of more than ten meters. It was unclear what kind of birds they were, and some of them could not even be described as birds.
The protection team on the ship took immediate action.
"Strange, why is there such a big change?"
Humans have explored the Dark Continent many times in an informal way, and Biyangde has even explored it several times.
But every time I cross the border, even if I encounter danger, it will not be so sudden at the beginning.
Otherwise, ordinary exploration would not allow you to reach the Dark Continent.
Lucci did not take any action, but stood outside and felt it. The "air" around him was very faint, and one would not be able to feel it without careful feeling.
Lucci tried to make the connection, using the power of the Holy Grail to sense and analyze.
The special power of the Holy Grail allowed Lucci to sense a connection.
Then he showed some surprised expressions, but then he looked as if he understood what was going on.
(Second, a nonsense word.)
Although he was not 100% sure, Lucci had already determined that the changes in the border were indeed the work of humans in the past.
Lucci was once very curious. Lake Mobius might be just a small puddle for the Dark Continent, but it was impossible that the creatures of the Dark Continent would never come near.
There are always exceptions in a thousand years.
Now Lucci understood a little.
The entire border is protected by a huge "barrier".
It’s not entirely appropriate to call it a barrier.
It should be related to the powerful constraint X oath.
Lucci guessed that one of its functions was "protection", perhaps to reduce its presence so that the dangerous creatures of the Dark Continent would ignore Lake Mobius.
Similarly, such "protection" also requires something to be paid.
The X oath is a constraint on all of humanity, and states that they cannot leave Lake Mobius. Of course, the "cannot" here is not absolute.
You can leave through formal methods and there will be no danger of "border".
Just leave and it's over, nothing will happen.
But if you want to return, you need to bring back a "disaster", which is part of the restriction of the X oath.
That gatekeeper might even have a pact with ancient humans, or even be a being born with the X oath as a constraint on the entire human race.
If you don't leave through formal means, you will need to go through the test of this "border zone".
And this test seems to be intelligent.
The judgment is made based on the number of people or strength, but it is not clear how to make intelligent judgments.
But there is no doubt that this is definitely the most powerful outward exploration since ancient humans settled in Lake Mobius.
Therefore, the reaction is also intense.
Of course, everything is still Lu Qi’s guess, but there is definitely a 60%+ possibility.
Those giant aerial creatures could not get close to the ship. There was not a single weak member of the protection team, and they all mastered the ability of Moon Step, so they could also conduct aerial combat.
Many creatures appeared in the sea, and huge waves also appeared.
The waves do not pose a threat to ships for the time being.
But the attack from the creatures in the sea has arrived. Compared with the creatures in the air, their bodies are much larger, basically several dozen meters in size.
Some even reached a height of 100 meters.
Lucci disappeared overboard and returned to the conference room instead.
It is not yet the time for him to take action. He plans to first tell Bi Yangde about the situation he guessed, and then he will convey it to others.
When Bi Yangde learned about this speculation from Lu Qi.
First of all, it was shocking.
If this is the case, then it also means that ancient humans already possessed the ability of telepathy.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the intelligent creatures in the Dark Continent may also master thoughts.
Intelligent creatures do exist in the Dark Continent, including large intelligent creatures and creatures similar in size to humans.
Lucci was certain of this; after all, the Dark Sonata told him very clearly.
The only thing to worry about now is how this powerful "protection" effect will work to its maximum effect.
But I soon understood.
As the storm approached, the combat members of the protection team began to be affected.
The ships also began to be affected, but fortunately this possibility had been taken into consideration and the ship also had special capabilities.
A golden barrier began to wrap around the entire ship, but it only blocked the wind and rain and did not affect the attacks of creatures.
Not affected by wind and rain, so the sailing speed is not affected.
Of course, this kind of barrier also needs to be supplemented by the Nen users in the cabin.
There should have been an electricity team, but there were too many people, so the entire task was simply handed over to other young people with special abilities who were in the cabin and had no other tasks.
When Lucci came to the outside world again, he directly unfolded his circle, covering the entire ship and expanding outward.
Lucci's circle is even more exaggerated than Catwoman's. The unit of his circle is kilometers.
Is Lucci going to take action?
Feeling this circle is an idea shared by everyone.
Instead, he wrote the word "God" out of thin air, and a huge "God" formation diagram quickly appeared.
This should also be the first time that Lucci used the divine word to fight in front of others.
Many people who use the word "God" to fight need to prepare in advance, or create a God-shaped creature.
This kind of fighting method of writing divine words out of thin air was the first time everyone had seen it.
Many of the shots in the cabin were shifted to Lucci.
All these divine words fell onto the ship.
He felt the changes in the energy around him, and as the battle continued, he found a "protective" mechanism that seemed to be getting stronger.
However, the main cause is not an attack by these creatures, but a change in climate.
With a flash of golden light, the golden barrier of the ship expanded a lot.
At the same time, all members of the protection team were covered by a burst of mental energy, and a red dot appeared on everyone's forehead.
Another piece of information automatically appeared in my mind.
All members of the protection group can teleport as long as they are within the golden barrier, but there is a cooling time of 30 seconds.
Lucci did not choose to take action to eliminate all these biological threats, but let the protection team fight.
After all, we don’t know how many more battles will follow.
It's impossible to let Lucci take action every time.
This ability is simply amazing to the protection team, but some people have become accustomed to it.
Because this ability is one of the rights of the host in Sky Arena.
With the ability to teleport, the protection team's fighters can move more agilely.
The biological threats from the air and the sea were being eliminated bit by bit, and these creatures did not seem to be endless.
Although the battle is not over soon, it is moving forward smoothly.
