What appeared in Lu Ban's hand was a human skull, which seemed to be surrounded by black flames.

This made Lu Ban feel a little strange, and he didn't know what it meant.

The Tenth Company can directly obtain information in a targeted manner, and Lu Ban chose this mission without hesitation.

Crushing the skull, black flames suddenly rose up and completely enveloped him.

In Lu Ban's ears, whispers accompanied by the flames lingered in Lu Ban's ears, layer upon layer.

"...Have you ever heard that there is a sea area without any wind, an absolute calm zone. Once any ship enters that sea area, it will never be able to escape..."

"…There are mermaids who can sing in the sea. If you are attracted by their singing, you will never be able to leave and will be lost in the sea…"

"...Have you ever seen a real storm? A storm that stretches for dozens of miles, a storm that even confuses the sea and the sky. Thunder connects the sea and the clouds like a spider web, and waterspouts are like pillars that support the sky. In a storm like that, being able to survive is the greatest luck..."

"...I saw some strange monsters. They gathered under the water like shadows. In a blink of an eye, they covered the entire ship. Then, right before my eyes, the ship disappeared. It disappeared..."

"...Can you hear that voice, the voice from the deep sea? It seems to be calling me. Yes, it is calling me back. Where should I go? Who am I..."

Lu Ban closed his eyes slightly, digesting this knowledge from foreign land.

This level of knowledge would not cause him to have any special reaction.

"This doesn't seem to be Earth..."

Lu Ban thought.

The images he saw were not of the ancient Earth, but a place that was mostly covered by water, with only a few islands scattered in the sea, and there were also many monsters. It was unlike this harmonious and loving world.

When thinking of a foreign land with lots of water and islands, Lu Ban thought of Hedao.

However, if the previous mission was to go to He Island, then related elements would definitely be mentioned, but this time there was no information such as cherry blossoms, pure fire, and priestess, which made Lu Ban very confused.

Having said that, Lu Ban had no choice.

Anyway, he has [Underwater Breathing], so he won't drown, so it's not a big problem.

After making all the preparations, Lu Ban bought another bag of seeds online.

It is said that this kind of seeds can go into space, and if conditions permit, they can even take root and sprout on Mars and grow potatoes.

Since the mission is to germinate, it is reasonable for Lu Ban to bring some seeds to plant.

He sent another message to Feng Yu.

After they parted in Miskatoke last time, Feng Yu disappeared again. It seemed that he was traveling somewhere and did not reply to Lu Ban's message.

He sent another message to Leopard.

Although I don’t know whether the woman looks at her phone or not.

Unexpectedly, Leopard actually replied.

[Charcoal Grilled Salt and Pepper Seal]: You want to go to Hedao? I want to go with you, too.

She looked quite interested.

The next moment, Lu Ban discovered that there was a girl sitting next to him.

Baobao was wearing a pink pajamas with a seal patting its belly and basking in the sun, and was sitting on Lu Ban's sofa.

"We elbow."

She said that it seemed like she had been surfing the Internet a lot recently.

"Are you really going?"

Lu Ban asked suspiciously.

He wondered if Kazushima had a clone of Leopard and wondered what would happen if the two met.

"If there's something exciting to watch, I'll definitely go."

Leopard said as a matter of course.

Lu Ban did not stop him.

Anyway, if she wants to go, I can definitely go too.

Moreover, seals and the sea really go well together.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban pressed the button on the remote control.

[Do you want to enter the quiet place?]

【whether】

He chose [Yes].

In an instant, the picture on the TV overflowed like overflowing water. Quickly, the distorted and chaotic colors enveloped the room and wrapped Lu Ban.

Quickly, Lu Ban disappeared from the living room as if fading away.

When Leopard saw this, he just stood up and felt something in the room.

She glanced at the place where Lu Ban had just sat, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a mysterious smile.

"Don't worry, I will bring him back in one piece."

After saying that, Leopard snapped her fingers, and her figure quickly dimmed and disappeared.

As the world spun around, Lu Ban saw a cloud of yellow mist coming towards him, but soon, the light of a deep red planet filled his field of vision. The planet was covered in rust, but it looked like a ball of flesh, emitting the pulse of life.

Pitch-black tentacles spread in the void and were torn apart by a ray of green light. A melody from eternity echoed in Lu Ban's ears. Nameless mist swallowed up the stars in the universe. Millions of civilizations were conceived, multiplied, and destroyed in the darkness, like morning dew, changing in an instant.

All of this is fading away quickly, and in the strange eternity, even death will disappear.

He came to his senses and found that the world was still shaking.

No, a boat to be exact.

Lu Ban found himself in the cabin, which was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, just like wearing socks that had been stepped on water and then stuffed in leather boots for several days. In one word, it was strong.

The wet wood gave people a very bad feeling. Lu Ban looked around. This was his cabin. There was a simple bed. The bedding was also wet and had a sour smell.

There was food in the wooden bowl on the table, of course it was fish.

The fish soup was made by boiling several kinds of fish whose names I didn't know, and adding a few pieces of seaweed as garnish. It didn't look appetizing at all.

Lu Ban picked up the spoon and took a sip.

The taste reminded him of the food from the Kingdom of Night that Xia liked. Even if it couldn't be called a delicacy, it could at least be considered pig swill.

The wine in the glass seemed to be mixed with water and the taste was not very good.

Sea voyages are long and fresh water is easily corrupted, so during the Age of Discovery, sailors usually stockpiled wine. At least the wine had been distilled and had a certain bactericidal and preservative effect, so they didn't have to rely too much on the taste.

There were voices coming from outside the cabin, as if someone was shouting something. Lu Ban pushed open the door and saw busy sailors.

These sailors did not greet Lu Ban, nor did they even look at him.

Lu Ban walked up the stairs to the deck.

It was a bright sunny day, the sails were raised, and the boat was sailing through the waves.

He saw a lady in armor standing at the bow, looking ahead.

"It's you."

Lu Ban greeted her and Xia turned her head.

"Listen."

But Xia did not respond to Lu Ban's greeting, but spoke directly.

"This mission is very dangerous. You might die here."
