"Always towards the northern continent?"

Qin Zhibo felt a little incredible. If the ship was heading north, what was the purpose of the moon beast?

Isn’t it their habit to transport humans to the moon as slaves?

If it went to the Northern Continent, wouldn't it be the original destination of this ship?

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and made sure again.

"Are you sure? Brother Larkin?"

Larkin took a step forward, and the bright candlelight shone on his face, but his face was dark.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"If we maintain the current course, we will be able to see the mainland within a day..."

As soon as they heard that there was still hope of survival and that the situation was far less serious than imagined, the passengers on the ship immediately burst into cheers and joy.

But after the cheers, there is a very real problem, which is to ensure that the ship has the power to continue moving forward.

There are 13 pairs of oars on the second oar layer, a total of 26 oars.

The oars on this boat are so huge that it takes at least two people to swing them.

In other words, 52 people are required to paddle at the same time.

There are about 100 passengers on board, just enough to operate two shifts.

But even so, the sailing speed is much slower than the tireless skeleton monster.

Considering that it was midnight, everyone planned to recharge their batteries tonight and wait until dawn before heading to the northern continent in one go.

…

The next day, early morning.

When the first ray of sunlight in the fantasy world rose from the distant sea level, Qin Zhibo sat on the crossbar of the mast, holding the tip of the mast with one hand, and looked into the distance.

Apart from the sparkling waves on the calm sea, there seems to be nothing else worthy of attention.

There was no land in sight, not even a hint of wind or wave.

The sail was hanging lifelessly, like a man who had been hungry for five days on the street.

Qin Zhibo remembered that there was some breeze on the sea yesterday, but it suddenly disappeared today.

In this case, the paddle becomes the only driving force.

Moreover, no one has ever been seen adjusting the black sails on this ship.

It seems that these sails are just a decoration to make people believe that this is an ordinary ship.

In addition, Qin Zhibo also further confirmed the course.

The dreamland is to a large extent a mirror image of the real world, where the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

In other words, the place where the sun rises is in the west.

Qin Zhibo used his free arm to indicate the direction and found that the current bow of the ship was almost perpendicular to the direction of the rising sun.

In addition, since last night, there have been no waves on this sea, and the dreamland does not have as complicated ocean currents as the real world.

This shows that the ship was indeed heading north when it was controlled by the moon beast.

Doesn't this mean that as long as he doesn't do anything unnecessary and kills the moon beast, everyone can arrive at the northern continent on time?

The next second, Qin Zhibo shook his head again and rejected his idea.

His original purpose was to rescue Kuroba Kaito, but killing the moon beast was just a coincidence.

In addition, the blood obtained from the moon beast was also used to create the Immortal World Buling Shenglu.

The only problem is that the long-dead moon beast's corpse no longer meets the conditions as a ritual sacrifice.

The so-called sacrifices must be fresher, the better, and the more sincere they are.

It seems we can only wait until we get ashore before talking...

Qin Zhibo climbed back to the ground along the cable and woke up the passengers in the public cabin.

After everyone simply ate some of the food they had brought with them, they entered the cabin and paddled according to the division of labor last night.

Everyone shouted slogans and shook the oars vigorously.

Every hour, a second wave of people replaces the first wave of people and continues rowing.

Under this rotational replacement system, the sailing speed of the entire ship was not much slower than before.

At noon, a dark coastline finally appeared where the sea and the sky meet.

That is the place that everyone has dreamed of. After more than half a month of sea voyage, the northern continent is now in front of us!

With a clear and sufficient goal, everyone paddled with greater strength and chanted slogans harder.

But even so, it was not until dusk that the ship slowly sailed into the basalt pier.

…

When the black sailboat sailed into the dock, all the passengers on the ship walked onto the deck.

Most of them came to the northern continent for the first time, but there were also some "veterans".

These "veterans" looked at the distant blue-gray peaks, some sang cheerful songs, and others knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly.

That mountain range is the mysterious "Leng Yuan" and the location of the legendary "Secret Land Kadasi".

Qin Zhibo squinted his eyes slightly and couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.

It was a series of huge blue-gray mountains connected together, but it was more majestic than any mountain range he had ever seen.

It should originally only exist in mythology, standing as sacred and majestic as "Mount Olympus".

And those mountains are not only towering, but the tops of all the peaks are shrouded in everlasting clouds, as if there are unspeakable secrets of this world hidden under the clouds.

At the altitude below the mountains, there is a world shrouded in darkness.

The northern continent is different from the western continent. There is darkness here all the time.

Even summer noon, when the sun should be blazing, seems to have been dimmed here, just like dawn or dusk elsewhere.

Qin Zhibo once heard the elders of Usa say that cats in Dreamland are born adventurers, have been to many places, and have settled in many places.

But only in the northern continent, humans cannot find any cats that have settled here.

Because cats hate the cold and darkness here, as well as the very ominous atmosphere that is always revealed to the outside world in the depths of Leng Yuan...

"Hey, uncle, what are you looking at?"

Kuroba Kaito came up from behind with their luggage.

Qin Zhibo frowned in thought, then pointed to the mountains in the distance and said.

"Leng Yuan should be over there..."

"Leng Yuan?"

Kuroba Kaito's eyes were startled, and then he also looked at those blue-grey mountains.

Because the sky in the northern continent darkened very quickly, in just a short while, all that was left of those mountains were towering outlines that were dark and undetectable.

But even so, Kuroba Kaito's eyes are still deep and persistent.

Is it right there?

Father……

Just then, a dark-skinned man walked along the side of the ship.

"Your destination is Leng Yuan?"

Qin Zhibo looked aside and saw that it was Larkin.

"Well, almost..."

"Brother Larkin, do you know how to get there?"

Although Leng Yuan is now within sight, the current location is still quite far away from it.

There are no flat roads and convenient transportation like in the real world. In addition, the legendary Leng Yuan is uninhabited, so it is quite difficult to get there.

And Leng Yuan is the place where the Illusory World Stepping Spirit Ascension Ceremony is implemented, so it’s impossible not to go there.

Larkin stared at Qin Zhibo blankly, his skin still darkened in the night.

He replied: "There is a way, and that is to walk step by step along the 'road' in the mountains to Leng Yuan."

"Someone has done this before, so it must work."

"Then good luck to you..."

After saying that, Larkin turned around and left.

Qin Zhibo glanced at his back, then turned to look at the low-altitude mountains closer to him.
