A bird's eye view of the Darkness Continent. Hmm … at first glance … erm, it looked a little like a sanitary pad.
Although he couldn't tell the difference between day use and night use and which one looked more similar, after taking a closer look, the overall outline looked more like a character that represented infinite time.
The Darkness Continent was divided into east and west sides due to its special structure.
Currently, the known records of human voyages were all headed to the east side of the Darkness Continent. This was because all the information humans had came from the east side of the Darkness Continent.
And the so-called failure was to pave the way for success.
The Ferry Bureau had sent out national-level teams to challenge the Darkness Continent many times, but without exception, they all returned in defeat. However, the sacrifices made in each voyage weren't in vain. At the very least, they verified and exchanged the reliability of the information.
On this basis, the destination they were heading to this time was naturally the east side of the Darkness Continent, which they had more confidence in.
Including Bujand, they had also returned in defeat from the east side of the Darkness Continent. They hadn't been able to bring back the alchemical plant called [Merion].
Logically speaking, one had to stand up from where they had fallen.
The Ferry Bureau thought that Bujand's destination would be the east side of the Darkness Continent. However, in reality, the place Bujand wanted to go was a place that no one had set foot on before.
Therefore, Bujand's true destination was the west side of the Darkness Continent.
Nitro had seen through this point and thus chose to disembark at the west side of the Darkness Continent.
Bujand felt that the possibility of their team encountering the Ferry Bureau's team was very low.
However, Paristone's words were more inclined toward the Ferry Bureau's goal. Perhaps it had always been a place in the east side of the Darkness Continent where [Hope] existed.
A place … where humans had once failed to explore.
On the bow of the ship, Bujand tilted his head and looked at the smiling Paristone. "That man is also here. Therefore, the possibility of what you said is very high."
"Who?"
Bujand lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "The officer in charge of the International Ferry Bureau's permit office, Giles. He's the same as me, one of the survivors. It's just that he didn't leave behind a written record."
"Giles …" Paristone was a little surprised. He lowered his head slightly and whispered to himself in his heart, "One of them?
Bujand shifted his gaze to the front and said, "Giles was in charge of one of the explorations of the ancient maze city. Of course, that operation also failed. The written records show that the team was wiped out, but in fact, Giles was the only survivor of that operation. If the situation permits, I don't want to meet him."
Paristone maintained the smile on his face and asked, "Why?"
"Of course it's because we can't afford to offend him. With his strength, he should be in the top five in the world." Bujand raised his head and laughed, frankly admitting Giles's strength.
"I see."
Paristone narrowed his eyes and said, "Since he is the leader of this ferry operation, then …"
"That's right. Their target is most likely the ancient labyrinth city, which is one of the known Five Great Hopes, the herb that can cure all diseases."
"Because of this target, the Ferry Bureau chose to ignore the potential threat that our operation might cause?"
"It's just weight. Isn't the choice between good and bad obvious?" Bujand tilted his head and looked at the giant sea monster not far away. His eyes gradually became deep.
"Ah, yes." Paristone said.
The ocean ship leisurely passed through the territory of the horned sea monster and continued to head toward the unknown and dangerous ocean.
As long as they followed the guidance of the [Guide], they could safely pass through the territory of the [Elephant] like ants.
The route that they chose was always the most subtle, safe, and correct route.
This was also why Bujand's team could ignore the sea monster that was so close to them.
.....
The team formed by thousands of telekinesis users was the biggest investment that the Ferry Bureau made in this operation. They were determined to succeed.
If the ship that Bujand's team was on was an ocean ship, then the ship that the Ferry Bureau was on was a mothership. The size of the two were not on the same level.
In such a dangerous dark ocean, the bigger the ship, the bigger the target in the eyes of the ferocious creatures.
Of course, the Ferry Bureau's team was more than a hundred times larger than Bujand's team, but the choice of transportation didn't seem to be wise.
In fact, the Ferry Bureau had blind trust in the [Guide], which was why they chose this kind of transportation to increase the carrying space of resources and equipment.
"Witness …"
Inside the cabin, a gentle-looking man with gold-rimmed glasses sat in front of his desk and looked down at the documents on the table.
On the corner of the table, there were all kinds of bookmarks. They were all about the ancient labyrinth city and other places where disaster and hope coexisted.
Among them, he had read the information about the ancient labyrinth city countless times and could basically recite it backwards.
As one of the people in charge of this operation, this was something that he should do.
"These glasses can't handle the rest of the trip."
The gentle-looking man looked away from the documents and took off his glasses. He put them back into the glasses case and then took out a pair of sturdy black-rimmed glasses from the soft cloth case and put them on.
The man's name was Jin Kairui, a non-telekinesis user. He was one of the people in charge of the Ferry License Office. He was recently transferred, or rather, promoted.
However, he had just familiarized himself with his job when he encountered the gold rush from Cajin. It was like he was a duck being forced to a perch, and he quickly integrated himself into his job.
Even if the road ahead was filled with danger and he could die in the next second, as a normal person, Jin Kairui wasn't afraid at all.
Because that was his duty.
If he had the time to be afraid of the unforeseen events in the future, he might as well think about how to better complete his work.
In another cabin with the lights off, there was only a candle lit at the corner of the table.
The flickering light magnified the back of the person in front of the table and projected it on the wall.
The person's calloused hand pressed on the table, and under his palm was a yellowed photo with only half of the content exposed.
"Ha."
A low chuckle suddenly sounded.
In the captain's room.
One of the guides summoned by Qing Ying was always here to provide the direction for the person at the helm.
In this place, there was no such thing as automatic navigation. Someone had to be here at all times because the change in the direction of the route was often inadvertent. It could change more than a dozen times in a minute, or it could change once in a few hours.
The guides were all demi-human Demonic Beasts. They had some human characteristics, but they were more like Demonic Beasts.
The demi-human Demonic Beast that led the way had an eagle's head. It stared at the screen that showed the route, and a strange light flashed in its amber eyes.
[Can't take away the right to land, can't take away the right to land.]
[Can mislead, can mislead …]
.....
West of the Dark Continent, Hunters' Association Camp.
The dwarf opened his eyes. His eyes were pitch black, and the structure of his pupils and sclera couldn't be seen.
Botebai didn't restrict the dwarf's mouth, so the first thing the dwarf did after waking up was to scream.
