Chapter 157 V5's Secret Exploration of the Five Great Hopes

Chapter 157 "V5's Secret Exploration of the Five Great Hopes"

It was a bit hot and stuffy in the oak forest in the afternoon. A group of elks nearby came to the lake to drink water. From time to time, they looked up and looked around, and their little ears twitched a few times.

The conversation between Germain and Xiyou continued.

"German, how much do you know about President Netero?" Xiyou put his hands on his waist and carefully observed Germain's expression, "Do you know that he has a son named Bi Yangde?"

German's expression remained almost unchanged, and the musket in his hand dropped.

Xiyou's words were a good start. At least he pointed out "Bi Yangde" and didn't mean to beat around the bush.

"It seems that you know." Xiyou nodded, "That's normal. Although the information about President Netero is top-secret, Bi Yangde was also very famous more than 50 years ago."

"Bi Yangde left many legends, and newspapers have reported him several times. From then to now, he can be regarded as one of the top hunters in the "Six Continents". "

"Since you know Bi Yangde, then you probably also know the "Dark Continent" related to him, right?"

German neither denied nor confirmed.

Seeing that he could not find out, Xiyou shook his head and planned to maintain the greatest sincerity: "I will assume that you know the "Dark Continent", so that I can save a lot of time explaining. "

"In short, more than three hundred years ago, there was a madman named Dong Fulisi who wrote a book called "New World Chronicles", also known as "New Continent Chronicles", which described in detail what he saw and heard in the "Dark Continent". "

Such an opening is quite like the crazy Arab poet Abdullah Alhasad writing the famous book "The Book of the Dead" on parchment.

Xiyou continued.

"By the way, Dong Fulisi is the ancestor of the "Haizhu" Jin Fulisi. "

"Whether it is the "New World" or the "New Continent", it refers to the "Dark Continent". ”

“It mentioned many strange and indistinguishable terrains and creatures, which made people think it was just the imagination of crazy people for a while, so it was placed on the bookshelf of science fiction, magic, and fantasy, and was not taken seriously. ”

“However, V5, who really studied ancient history, soon realized that the authenticity of the content of this book was far beyond imagination, so they quickly recalled most of the "New World Chronicles" on the market. ”

“Their ancient history researchers soon found the "Five Great Hopes" that they coveted the most in the book, each of which was enough to bring about a huge change in the world. ”

“Before that, V5 had sent countless batches of expeditions to explore the "Dark Continent" aimlessly, and all the teams were destroyed there, and no members returned. ”

“So, V5 signed a treaty that no longer allowed public travel to the "Dark Continent", and the appearance of "New World Chronicles" rekindled their hope. ”

“The five major countries successively sent different teams to conduct secret attempts on the "Five Great Hopes". ”

“Thanks to the existence of the New World Chronicle, the journey was smooth at first, and the casualties were not heavy until they arrived at the "Five Great Hopes". ”

“Where there is "hope", there must be "disasters". ”

“A survey team of more than 1,000 people from the United Nations of Bergrose entered the mountains to look for the "No Man's Stone", and then encountered the "Human-Educating Beast Papu", and only 7 people survived. ”

“A small special forces unit of the Saheltah United States entered the ancient maze city to explore the "Herb for All Diseases", and then encountered the "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingots", and only 2 people survived. ”

“The expedition team of the Ochima Federation tried to find the "Longevity Food Nitolomi" in the swamp, but unfortunately encountered the "Double-Tailed Snake Hell Bell", and the result was 11 people survived. ”

“The Mingbo Republic cooperated with the "Hunter Association" to jointly explore the "Three Original Waters", and then came into contact with the "Mist-like Creature Ai", and only 3 people returned. ”

“President Netero had also explored the “Dark Continent” with his companions, but because they acted privately, they did not leave any written records, but this was enough for him to understand the horror of the “Dark Continent”. ”

“He believed that the failure of the first four operations against the “Five Great Hopes” had proved that humans were not yet strong enough to challenge the “Dark Continent”, and each failure would bring back a “disaster” that could destroy the world. ”

“President Netero used his own experience to warn future generations not to set foot in the “Dark Continent” easily. ”

“But this had the opposite effect, and instead made his son Bi Yangde interested in the “Dark Continent”, and many people in the “Hunter Association” were also ready to move. ”

“So, more than 50 years ago, Bi Yangde gathered these ambitious hunters, and with the help of the Kukanyou Kingdom’s funding, went to look for the “Alchemical Plant Melion”. ”

“This was also the last recorded “Dark Continent Expedition” in history. "

"The Biyander expedition team actually obtained the "Alchemical Plant Melion", but was infected by the "Zorbaai Disease of Immortality" on the way back." "

"In the end, only 6 people from the Biyander expedition team returned, one of whom was an empty shell infested with the "Zorbaai Disease of Immortality", and the "Alchemical Plant Melion" also withered halfway..."

"All human efforts can be called a complete failure. "

"So far, the only surviving survivors publicly recorded are President Netero, Byande, and others. If private records are included, there are no more than 10 people at most."

"With such casualties, President Nitro urged V5 to give up sending teams to the "Dark Continent" and made "exploring the Dark Continent" a taboo in the "Hunter Association." "

"It's just that this is undoubtedly a cowardly approach. If humans don't truly set foot on the "Dark Continent", they will never find a way to solve the "Five Major Disasters" and regain the "Five Major Hopes". "

"About ten years ago, Biyande adhered to this idea and began to collect resources and talents in preparation for his second trip to the "Dark Continent." It was during this time that I joined them. "

Xiyou stopped here, raised his hands, and held the slightly skewed golden band on his forehead, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Although what he said is considered confidential, there are many insiders in the entire "Six Continents", and it basically does not affect the formation of Biyang De's team.

The most important thing is that he took out the "Little Rat" Pariston quite naturally. This was his real back-up move.

Even if Germain did turn around and tell President Nitro or V5 about the matter, Pariston would be able to detect and react immediately.

However, Journey to the West never expected that not only did Germain already know this, but he also knew his status as an undercover agent in the "Twelve Branches of the Hunter Association" and knew Paris Stone's tendencies.

"So?" Germain made the firegun disappear and put his hands in his suit pockets. "You want to invite me to join your secret team?"

Xiyou nodded and said, "You don't need to hide it anymore. We already know your secret. You have been to the "Dark Continent" at least once, right? "

The breeze blew gently by, lifting up Germain's messy black hair, but his eyes were still deep and fixed, unmoving.

Can you keep calm like this?

Xiyou gritted his teeth and continued to tell the truth calmly.

"Strictly speaking, the 'Six Continents' and the 'Dark Continent' are not separate parts. They are connected by the ocean. "

"Therefore, it is not uncommon for creatures from the "Dark Continent" to drift to the "Six Continents" from time to time. V5 and the Dark World secretly deal with these "invasive alien species" every month. "

Germain blinked and suddenly asked: "For example...'Chimera ants'?" "

Xiyou paused, raised his head and looked at Germain for a while.

Then he said: "For example, "Chimera Ants", also called "Chimera Ants", have appeared in the "Six Continents" more than once. "

“History has left many records about them, so humans are quite aware of their feeding and mating habits, the composition of the queen and army, and the birth of the king and guards. "

"All in all, it is not unusual for the corpses of "Warcraft" from the "Dark Continent" to circulate in the dark world. "

"It's just that in the past six months, the number of weird "Warcraft" corpses in circulation has increased, and less than half of them match the "Warcraft" recorded in "New World Journey". "

"This is not the number that can be obtained by dealing with "invasive alien species". There is a high probability that someone has been to the "Dark Continent" once. Although this idea was incredible, we did not let it go. "

"After we discovered this, we started investigating. As long as there is a transaction, no matter how hidden it is, there will be records. In short, in mid-March, two names gradually surfaced."

"Bisji and Xiaodi."

"We judged that they were not the leaders, so we continued the investigation, and also tried to follow them, but in the end they got rid of them."

"But it is definitely a fact that they have a large number of "Warcraft" corpses from the "Dark Continent". "

"What's ridiculous is that most of those buyers only regard them as rare "Warcraft" in the "Six Continents". Only we know their true value, so we started to recycle these corpses. "

"After another period of investigation, you, who became a "One-Star Hunter" in mid-April, came into our sight. Then we discovered many connections between you and Bisji and Xiaodi. "

"After you committed the "Ruby Promise Case" to declare yourself a "Phantom Troupe member," someone saw you and Bisji in a nearby town. "

"One of the assassins sent by the dark world to assassinate you at that time searched for information about Bisji on the dark web before he was killed by you, which further proves this point."

"After that, you took the "Professional Hunter Examination" under Bisji's name, and her disciple Yungu personally received you... When did Bisji become so fond of someone? "

"Xiao Di and you are both from Meteor Street, and both appeared near Youkesin City in the "Yin Beast Hunting Incident". "

"There are many clues intertwined together. Although there is no definite and key evidence, you have become our main suspect."

"However, after the "hijacking incident", you, Bisji, and Xiaodi all disappeared for two months, so we can only start with your companion at the time - Kurapika. "

"Through the analysis of the clothing, we determined that he was closely related to the Kuluta tribe, so we released the information on five pairs of "Fiery Eyes" and waited to see what would happen. "

"It wasn't until last night that you finally showed up."

"German." Xiyou smiled at him, "Cooperate with us, and then tell us how you bypassed V5 and successfully traveled back and forth to the "Dark Continent." "

"If I'm not mistaken, your goal should be the same as ours, and we can completely benefit from each other."
