Chapter 585: Everyone is Different (1/2)
”The last two times we entered another continent we encountered some trouble. The first time was when Lan sent us through that dimensional tunnel and we got diverted, and the second time was our journey through the Enchanted Sea which took a long time.
”This time, we do not have to spend a lot of time crossing the sea. If you look at the map, the tip of this and the Dongfang Continent are very close to one another. We should be able to cross it in a day or two, but the biggest problem will be to enter the no-man's land and reach the sea.”
Bai Tianyi had made a copy of the map Lan had shown them earlier, and spread it out on the ground in front of them. Each corner was held down by a heavy stone, and he began pointing at the narrow strait between the two continents.
The strait was narrow, it was not likely to contain much danger, but to reach this location, one had to cross the no-man's land, and the danger threatening them there was not ordinary.
”Are there any other ways?”
Xue Wei was not going to be arrogant and assume that they could easily handle the dangers lurking within this hostile and untouched zone, but he was also not willing to waste too much time to bypass it.
”No.” Bai Tianyi shook his head with regret. ”While we could, in theory, take another route, it is not a question about a few weeks or months more. Instead, we would likely have to spend a year or more traveling to reach the Dongfang Continent by this other route.”
Xue Wei furrowed his brows as he looked at the simple map in front of him. It was made quickly, and it only showed the different zones and where the land met the sea. There was no detailed explanation of what environments one would encounter when inside the no-man's land, so everything would have to depend on luck.
While Xue Wei was very well aware that his luck was rather good, he still did not like to fully depend on such things to survive, as he could not control it at all.
It was always best to improve his own strength. He preferred to have his fate in his own hands.
”The no-man's land is dangerous, so we have to prepare as much as possible before we enter. I am going to integrate with the Black Turtle Bloodline, but due to our current situation, there is no suitable location to do so.
”I will need you all to protect me while I try and stimulate the bloodline in my body, and don't let anyone attack me.
”If I manage to succeed, then I will use my blood to have Hei Gou attempt another mutation. During this time, the rest of you should also take turns between cultivating and guarding.”
