One.
The patriarch stared at the Milky Way at the bottom of the basin, and his thoughts subconsciously sank into his memories. That was something from a long time ago, but it was as clear as the goosebumps on his skin. He could see it as long as he lowered his head.
Outsiders were not afraid of death. This was an evaluation that he would never change in his life.
The people in the city wanted to go out, but the people outside wanted to come in. This was the contrast between the humans of the Darkness Continent and the humans of the Six Continents.
Their race sought survival here. Long ago, humans all wanted to fly across the vast ocean and go to the holy land of their dreams. However, there was only one [Noah's Ark], and there were only so many people who could go.
It didn't matter if it was an interesting story or a myth. Although it had been many years since they last met an outsider, now that they met one again, it meant that the humans in the [Safety Zone] hadn't given up on returning to the danger zone.
That was why they were not afraid of death.
The little bug in his memory was evoked, and then it overflowed. Perhaps it was because he had lived for too long.
The patriarch sighed softly. His gaze shifted and subconsciously landed on the stone box.
Back then, that person gave this [Hope] to him, but he didn't use it all. He left more than half of it.
He thought that such a precious thing should be left with some. He didn't consider whether [Hope] would wither or not, and whether it would lose its effect after it withered.
He didn't think so much.
His overflowing thoughts were interrupted by a sentence.
"What's the use of this?"
Law's gaze sank into the bright Milky Way. He touched the Complex Star Stone, but the white smoke only gave a name. It seemed that this all-purpose appraisal system had to admit defeat when it encountered the Darkness Continent.
The beard at the corner of the patriarch's mouth trembled. He smiled and said, "The Complex Star Stone can increase the amount of water, but it will take some time."
In the past, the lone traveler had invited him to drink special water. At that time, he didn't think of leaving a little as a seed, and people basically wouldn't fall at the same place twice. Therefore, this time, he stopped after drinking a mouthful and wanted the Complex Star Stone to increase the amount of special water.
The water he mentioned should be explained as a liquid. After all, it was wine and not water.
Hearing the use of the Complex Star Stone, Law's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of the Sanyuan Water of the Five Hopes.
The humans of the Six Continents had set foot in the Darkness Continent many times, but every time, they returned in defeat before a strange disaster.
There were a total of five known types of [Disasters] and five types of [Hopes].
Disaster and hope were born together. Where there was disaster, there would be hope.
It was only because they had paid the price of countless lives that humans had been able to keep their eyes on the dangerous Darkness Continent.
The known hopes were the Unmanned Stone, which could generate electricity when placed in water, vanilla, which could cure all kinds of diseases, Nitholomi, which could be used as a longevity food, Sanyuan Water, which could be used as the original liquid of all liquids, and an alchemy plant called Metalion, whose function was unknown.
No matter what kind of hope it was, all of them had the ability to greatly improve humanity's current situation. However, humanity had invaded the Darkness Continent several times, but they had never succeeded in bringing back any kind of hope.
Sanyuan water can become the original liquid of all liquids, such as oil, which is known as the blood of industry. If Sanyuan water is obtained, humans may not have to worry about oil extraction.
Compared to the San Yuan Water, according to the clan leader, the Foo Star Stone could increase the volume of water. On the surface, it sounded more powerful than the San Yuan Water, but the target range of the San Yuan Water was all liquid, while the Foo Star Stone was not necessarily so.
After all, the biggest difference between the two was the increase and the blending.
"I have a lot of questions."
Law's gaze moved away from the starlight at the bottom of the basin and fell on the clan leader.
The clan leader looked around at the eager clan members and said, "But you have to fill the stomachs of these bastards first."
Law looked around and rubbed his forehead a few times. Those eager eyes really couldn't be avoided.
So, Law temporarily put the question aside and focused on making the stone slab barbecue.
Even if the underground cave hidden hundreds of meters underground never saw the light of day, the human biological clock was fixed, and there would still be the difference between day and night.
At night.
The meat feast was over, and everyone in the clan returned to their own nest with satisfaction.
Law also returned to the house he was arranged to stay in. In addition to Biscay and Dongba, there was also the clan leader.
There was no hot tea, only monkey wine.
The Foo Star Stone needed some time to increase the volume of the wine, so this reed pot was still provided by Law. The clan leader drank the wine in small mouthfuls like a woman, afraid that he would accidentally drink too much and drink all the wine in the cup.
"Have you seen outsiders?" Law asked the first question.
Because the clan called them outsiders, Law put on this identity when he asked.
The clan leader sat on the ground, raised his eyebrows and looked at Law, and replied: "Twice, the first time was four hundred years ago, a team of less than a hundred people. At that time, I gave them a little help. The second time was more than one hundred and fifty years ago, a lone traveler, he taught me a lot."
"Four hundred years ago?" Law raised his eyebrows and keenly captured this.
"The maximum life expectancy of my clan is about one hundred and fifty years." The clan leader knew that Law was surprised by his age and explained: "But after taking the Fire Chasing Stone, the maximum life expectancy can reach three hundred years, or even four hundred years."
The Foo Star Stone, and the Fire Chasing Stone.
These existences should also be classified as hope, but the upper limit of the role is high and low.
Law couldn't hide his surprise. The so-called Fire Chasing Stone had the same effect as the longevity food Nitolomi.
In fact, the Fire Chasing Stone couldn't increase one's life expectancy. It was just that the Zhu clan had the [Heart Fire], so after taking the Fire Chasing Stone, it had the same effect as Nitolomi.
As a kind of hope, the Fire Chasing Stone was produced near the earth's core. Naturally, there would also be strange disasters there. The various forms of elemental bodies living in the magma posed an absolute threat to any kind of creature in the underground world.
The Zhu clan's heat tolerance was very exaggerated, and they could even emit high temperatures. This had nothing to do with telekinesis. It should be the subtle influence of the disaster elemental bodies, and then this talent was born.
Similar to this, the Enigma of the Enigma Hakka family was actually a kind of disaster in the Darkness Continent. It was only because Enigma of the Enigma Hakka family had followed Nitro to the Darkness Continent, and then that kind of disaster parasitized Enigma's body in a certain way.
Why did humans not dare to enter the Darkness Continent after many failures?
It was because the disasters in the Darkness Continent were like the ghost needle grass that would quietly stick to the bottom of one's pants. No one knew how they would follow the Darkness Continent back to the six continents.
The clan leader couldn't see what Law was thinking. His eyelids drooped, revealing a thin gap, and his tone gradually deepened: "I'm a lucky person. When I became an adult, I swallowed the last remaining Fire Chasing Stone in the clan. That's why I'm still alive now."
"However, in fact, my lifespan should have reached its end more than a hundred years ago. The reason why I'm still breathing now is because of this."
As the clan leader spoke, his face revealed a loneliness that had been ruthlessly washed away by time. He took out a strip-shaped stone box from his heavy clothes.
"This was given to me by a lone traveler I met 150 years ago." Speaking of this, the clan leader narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought for a short second and said: "His name is Dong."
