Barrier of Light

The central control room fell into a brief silence.

Lin Lin looked away from the screen and immediately looked at the commander-in-chief behind him. The eye of the legion who had been united on the frontier for decades and was as stable as Mount Tai, rarely lost his composure.

That side of the screen.

The captain of the first team, Lu Zhe, said: "Your Excellency Osmond, my mental power has fully covered the area with a radius of one kilometer, and no 'abnormality' has been found..."

The word "abnormal" was emphasized by Lu Zhe.

Everyone who saw this skeleton knew what it meant.

Unknown supernatural beings...

If it is indeed proven to be true, it will be unprecedented "big news"!

The Survey Corps has always maintained absolute vigilance when performing tasks outside the Great Wall. Since a long time ago, humans could break through the [Old World], come to the five continents to set up camps and build giant walls, then it is difficult to protect other creatures. ...The migration of ethnic groups is also going on at this moment. Perhaps in the dark world, two bonfires of civilization collide and ignite.

An explosion is inevitable.

What's more, other living beings in the "Five Continents" have begun to awaken extraordinary abilities.

For example, the dog Lin Lin raised.

"Sir, do we still need to move forward?"

The voice of a team captain slowly echoed in the control room.

Osmond quickly regained his composure and asked in a deep voice: "Can you still move forward?"

"certainly--"

Mu Wanqiu glanced at Lu Zhe and took over the words. After all, she is the real captain of this team: "We are in good condition now. All team members have sufficient physical strength, full of energy, and sufficient energy reserves. We can continue to move forward!"

She came to the Dolu River this time to find the "Dream of the Styx" in her heart!

For this reason, she deliberately took on the trouble of being the captain.

The purpose is to have your own right to speak at critical moments.

The meaning of restarting the mission is to re-explore this dangerous disaster situation. Everyone is ready to fight and discover when they set foot here. Just returning home... is not the original intention.

"We can move on."

A team member echoed.

“We apply to move on!”

The whole team is very willing to move forward, which is a good thing... Rather than fearing the unknown, they hope that they can become witnesses of "history", and they are confident in their own strength!

"Okay, approved."

Osmond looked solemn and issued the order slowly: "Lu Zhe's team can continue to move forward, but they need to ensure the spiritual link at all times... Once the spiritual link is disconnected, you need to return immediately. The results of this discovery are important enough."

"clear."

Mu Wanqiu nodded.

The link is broken.

Osmond stared at the blank screen, lost in thought.

"Your Excellency, are you thinking about the origin of that skeleton?"

Lin Lin spoke.

"Well...seeing that skeleton gave me some ominous omens."

Osmond slowly backed away and sat down in the chair. He slowly raised his head, and his eyes that were not covered with black cloth gradually became empty.

"The gnawing wounds of broken bones are not something that ordinary creatures can do... If there are really creatures that awaken extraordinary abilities, it is not a rare thing." Lin Lin whispered: "My men are like that one."

"yes……"

"Of course I know that as long as the genes in the body can be stable, it can carry the power of 'transcendent awakening'." Osmond murmured: "But have you ever thought about... when did this skeleton come from? "

Lin Lin was startled.

"If this skeleton comes from a long time ago."

Osmond looked at the young man in front of him, "So...are these beings who have awakened their extraordinary abilities long ago already living here? Not long ago, when we first attacked the disaster area, there was continuous artillery fire. Not a single breath of living things was detected.”

"what do you mean……"

Lin Lin followed this line of thought and thought of the terrifying possibility: "Have the creatures in this disaster not only awakened extraordinary abilities, but also developed extremely high wisdom?"

The legion's airship sailed into the disaster situation, tearing apart the tranquility of the Black River.

For dozens of days.

Didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

It wasn't until the mission was restarted and the skeleton was excavated... that Beizhou became aware of the existence of "extraordinary beings".

If they really live here.

Then, there is only one possibility. Faced with the majestic artillery fire tearing through the Black River, they chose to hibernate, retreat, and hide!

"I hope it's not what I thought..."

Osmond put a hand on his forehead, kneaded his eyebrows vigorously, and murmured: "The reason why I let Lu Zhe and the others continue to advance is because... if such creatures really exist, they retreated because of the previous artillery attack. Then the strength of these things is at the third or fourth level at most. With the strength of a team captain, even if he encounters an accident, he can protect the entire team!"

In the central control room, there was no peace for long.

"Your Excellency Osmond, the Deep Scale Team is applying for a link——"

"The Triumph Team has made a major discovery, please apply for a link!!"

In just a few seconds, one link after another popped up on the home screen... Lin Lin glanced at the [Deep Water Area] map in the lower right corner. Judging from the coordinates displayed by the mental link capture, these teams were already on the move. quite a long distance.

The spiritual link signal became weaker.

An old man and a young man looked at each other.

"Connected."

The two spoke at the same time, each linking a team.

The voices of Fisher and the captain of the Triumph team also sounded at the same time. What was amazing was that even the contents of the reports were exactly the same!

"Report! We found unknown skeletons on the road!"

Fisher was squatting in the dense forest. At the bottom of the gradually decreasing black stream, he could vaguely see a broken and incomplete skeleton, just immersed in the black water.

The living fish used its mental power to fish out the skeleton.

After being soaked by the Duolu River, the bones have become as black as ink... Even if this is just a weak stream, like a stream, the corrosion power is still terrifying.

Fisher's fish eyes stared expressionlessly at the skeleton.

He squatted down again, stretched out his palm desperately, removed the full wrapping of the source armor, and touched the water of the Black River with his fingertips... Perhaps it was because Fisher's mental power was too strong, or maybe it was due to his racial characteristics. The reason was that the fingertips were wet and lifted, but there was no injury.

The living fish said coldly: "Your Excellency, I tried to use 'profile' to see the life experience of this skeleton, but failed. The river water in this disaster area is different. Even if I have physical contact with it, I cannot read it. Memories of 'Doru River'."

Read "Water Memory"!

This is one of Fisher's abilities... After he began to mutate, he became extremely water-friendly and could read the "memory" of the surrounding water elements, provided that these elements had not been deliberately destroyed by powerful mental forces.

However, Dolu River is an exception.

Every drop of this black river seems to be filled with the spirit of corruption and death!

Fisher read failed.

"Is this so? It's such a pity..."

Osmond spoke in a deep voice, feeling a little regretful.

"Your Excellency, you don't seem to be shocked..." Fisher captured the calm atmosphere in the main control room at this moment. Osmond didn't seem to be surprised by this important discovery of his team?

There is only one possibility.

Just before, others had discovered similar "skeletons."

"Xiaoyu, be vigilant. There may already be 'unknown creatures' in the disaster. We need to find the whereabouts of the [door] as much as possible. If necessary, I can maintain a spiritual link with you at all times."

Osmond gave the order and glanced at Lin Lin.

The Triumph Team...had the same discovery!

The main control room began to receive the third link application... Don't even think about it, this must be the "Broken Bones" message!

This is very strange.

One skeleton, two skeletons, forget it.

Where did this place come from with so many "human bones" scattered in various branches of the river... You know, these captains of Beizhou are separated by a long distance from each other.

Could it be that many years ago, a large number of "extraordinary beings" set foot here?

If so... it would be even more chilling.

Because many years later, their existence was discovered in the soil, at the bottom of the river, and in a mountain cave full of dust.

They come here.

Their bones are buried here.

What is left to future generations is an unknown history submerged by the Black River.

The only thing that can make Osmond feel at ease is that he knows that there is someone with them at this moment.

Her Majesty the Queen is watching here.

…

…

The big black river has no fear of turbulent waves. It has always been calm and calm.

If you don’t perish in peace, you will die in peace.

And this river looks like one that has been dead for many years.

Accompanied by such a river, even if you take one more look at it, you will feel depressed... As far as you can see, it is pitch black, which is extremely depressing. The low-altitude skimming of Gu Shen and his team was not very fast. They were not connected to the central control room. The reason was very simple. Those "skeletons" that were constantly discovered on the branches did not exist near the Heihe River, this dead river. It seems that even the remains of the "dead" have been swallowed up. If someone really died here, then they probably wouldn't even have a single bone left.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

In the first crusade mission, the extraordinary beings who died in battle... fell into the Dolu River. Their martyrs' names have been engraved on the monument, but the coffins under the monument were empty.

No one could retrieve their bones.

This big river is the pronoun of "death".

Death, falling into it...perhaps, just like being reincarnated, directly turning into "emptiness" in this world.

Even the extraordinary source of matter was swallowed up.

After Gu Shen flew for a while, he understood the reason why the Queen of Beizhou was looking for the [Gate]. With the "terrible magnitude" of this Dolu River, the extraordinary source of energy absorbed was extremely huge and impossible to calculate.

I am afraid that only "fire-level" massive energy can support this river!

If the [Gate] in this calamity is found, the fire is drawn from the cauldron, and the extraordinary essence of the [Old World] is pumped into the furnace, then the Central City, and the entire Beizhou, will be glowing with new life!

"Ahead...are the snowy mountains."

Zhong Yuan let out a suppressed and nervous sigh.

Gu Shen raised his head.

At the end of the main river, there is a towering mountain. It is still far away at this moment, and only a black shadow as big as a fist can be seen... But Gu Shen has already felt the "sense of oppression" brought by that black mountain.

The Dolu River is in disaster, with snow falling all year round.

But when it falls on the Black River, it becomes black, and when it falls near the river beach, it gradually turns black.

The whole world seemed to be filled with a breath of death... This was even more true for the huge snow mountain, which was completely black and stood between heaven and earth like a broad-edged sword.

I am afraid that only a powerful man of General White Lizard's level would choose to step over that black mountain... Ordinary people would feel fear involuntarily and want to retreat just by taking a look at it.

Several team members cheered up one after another.

It can be seen that they are all overcoming the negative emotions in their hearts.

"team leader……"

Even Yuan Yuan, who had experienced many battles, his voice was trembling uncontrollably at this moment, but it was suppressed in an instant.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Our spiritual link with the central control room... I'm afraid it will be disconnected."

The blond man looked back... The path he came from had been covered by the wind and snow.

"Well, it was a matter of time."

Zhong Yuan said calmly: "I will make the last connection with the central control room... In three minutes, we will move on."

Every team will face this situation if they want to explore deeply.

This... is just the beginning of the restart mission!

Gu Shen's eyes fell on the black mountain. He silently stretched out his palms to hold the pendant on his chest.

The goddess of destiny issued a strong warning.

Montenegro!

There is a big disaster in Black Mountain!

"I see……"

Gu Shen said silently, "I will be careful."

General White Lizard crossed the Black Mountain and saw the stone tablet at the end of the "Black River" and the ancient inscriptions!

Gu Shen had a very clear premonition in his heart. If he wanted to find the source of the "spiritual poison" during this trip, he would probably have to reach a place beyond Black Mountain...

However, he was a little curious at the moment.

Does the danger guidance issued by the pendant refer to the danger in Montenegro itself?

Or... some dangerous people?

Gu Shen squinted his eyes and looked back. He had come a long way, and there was endless snow falling. The heavy snow fell from the iron dome and turned gray. It fell on the source armor. At first, it didn't even feel cold, but rather warm. Warm.

But after it melted, it became colder.

The heavy snow is boundless, covering the entire disaster area.

At the end of Gu Shen's sight, there was a team of eight people, all wearing moon-suppressing robes, advancing slowly.

One person takes the lead.

The remaining seven people, all different in height, short, fat and thin, were like a ray of light holding up the frost and snow in the sky.

"Sir, after a while, we will reach the 'Broken Link Area'."

When Meng Xiao heard this, he slowly raised his head.

A pair of golden eyes penetrated the wind and snow, locking on the figures in the light and shadow from a distance.

He hummed slightly.

"Don't forget, the real purpose of our trip..."

Zhenyue raised her head, looked at the iron dome with falling snow, and murmured: "Don't act without my order. There are people watching up here."
