12th year of Dawn.

This year, Feng Qi received a list from the Messenger of Destiny.

There were 88 people on the list.

They were all carefully selected and passed many tests to become the first batch of human travellers. They will also shoulder the mission to go to the unknown distance, explore the foggy area of ​​the new world map, and collect more intelligence on the field forces for the human race.

At the same time, they are also responsible for promoting the blood and flesh sacrifice.

...

Dawn Academy.

Physical training room.

Su Nian was naked from the waist up, standing upside down with his eyes closed.

His body rotated slowly, and the blood sacrifice technique was running fast in his body. The blood crystal stones placed around him were absorbed by his body under the guidance of his consciousness.

After a long time, the blood crystal stones turned transparent. At this time, Su Nian opened his eyes, turned over and stood firmly.

The next step was physical training. After using consciousness to trigger the switch in the training room, the wall cracked, and a mechanical dummy appeared, attacking him directly.

After a lot of effort, all ten combat training robots were knocked down. The repair robots came slowly at this time and began to sort out the scattered parts on the ground and repair the combat robots.

Sweat flowed down his forehead, but Su Nian's face showed a hearty smile.

"Time is running out."

Looking up at the calendar on the wall, Su Nian muttered to himself.

Just a month ago, he passed the traveler assessment of the Destiny Messenger Department and obtained the qualification to become the first batch of travelers.

The assessment items are mainly divided into two parts.

The first part is the knowledge mastery test of the field, which requires completing ten random field knowledge test papers.

The second part is the combat ability assessment, which requires proving one's ability through combat.

In the two ability audits, he got the top ten results and obtained the qualification of the traveler as he wished.

He knew what he would face in the future.

This journey must be accompanied by danger, and perhaps he will not go far before he will face the end of death.

But in Su Nian's view, this is the adventurous life he wants.

After finishing his training, Su Nian left the Dawn Academy and returned home.

Pushing open the door, the aroma filled his nose. Su Nian, who was already hungry, immediately sat down at the dining table.

"Wash your hands first." His mother scolded him.

"Got it." Su Nian stood up helplessly.

Back at the dining table again, his father was holding a tablet and reading news information.

"Dad, I'm leaving soon. Won't you look at me more?"

"I'm tired of seeing you. I wish you would leave earlier."

The father looked up at Su Nian and then continued to look through the news.

Su Nian couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this.

His father was the most conservative guy he had ever seen. He always had strict requirements on him. He felt that his father had contributed to his admission to the field school of the Dawn Academy.

But he also admired his own father the most.

His father was a history teacher at Xingcheng No. 8 Middle School and taught him many truths since he was a child.

His father once told him that he was born in the best era, a better era than before the disaster.

He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before.

In his opinion, the era he was in was facing challenges from the future and the threat of the advent of the field. He didn't understand why it was the best era in his father's mouth.

During the years of studying and growing up in the Dawn Academy, he gradually understood the meaning of his father's words.

After understanding history, he had many doubts in his heart.

He did not understand the social structure before the disaster.

Why did people work hard just for the material satisfaction of being well fed and clothed? Why did they study not for ideals, but just to get a job that could meet their material needs?

This was completely different from the era he lived in.

The meaning of learning in this era is to broaden knowledge, not to cope with exams, nor just to make a living.

In this era, there is no natural superiority. Only knowledge and self-strength can make oneself dazzling, and no matter how much money there is, it is useless.

Everyone's efforts have their meaning.

They have common ideals and goals, and contribute to the development of the times. They do not need to work for the material of life. Xingcheng will provide all material needs for free. Their only goal is to work together to open up the road to the future.

In contrast, the noisy and impetuous pre-disaster history does not seem to be as desirable as imagined.

In this era, there is cohesion and common ideals and goals that the society before the disaster did not have.

"Xiao Nian, don't look at your father's indifferent look now. When he learned that you had obtained the qualification of the Traveler, he laughed all night. At 2 a.m., he called his old classmate to brag about his son's qualification of the Traveler, and asked his old classmate what his son planned to do after graduation."

At this time, his mother interrupted Su Nian's thoughts and smiled and picked up a piece of braised pork for him.

"Nonsense, I didn't."

The father, who always had a majestic posture in front of Su Nian, blushed and denied it immediately.

"Dad, I'm in danger all the way. There is a high probability that I won't be able to come back. Don't you worry about your son's safety?"

"Only you are in danger? Are the frontline soldiers and the staff of the Energy Research Institute not in danger?"

"Okay, okay, you are right." Su Nian was unable to refute and immediately lowered his head to eat.

A day of training consumed a lot of physical energy. Su Nian, who was hungry, ate three bowls in a row, and then got up and went upstairs with satisfaction.

Back to the room, open the drawer, there is a space bracelet inside.

This space bracelet was given by the leader of the human race, Feng Qi, and it is also his portable space on the road to the future.

At this moment, he was reluctant to leave home, but also yearned for the strange and wonderful world outside. His mood became complicated.

While sighing, he fell on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, imagining the wonderful journey in the future.

...

Three days later.

Su Nian and the other 87 people who had obtained the qualification of the Traveler stood under the Dawn Banner and met Feng Qi again.

When Feng Qi came to him and poured him a farewell wine, Su Nian stood straight.

In his eyes, Feng Qi was not only the leader of the human race, but also the god of faith of the human race and the foundation of the rise of the human race.

When he was very young, he established a faith connection with Feng Qi.

He was well-versed in history and was very clear about Feng Qi's contribution and significance to this era.

After pouring the farewell wine, Feng Qi came to them and stood not far away, raised his hand and raised the wine glass:

"You are shouldering the future of our human race on this journey. On behalf of all mankind, I thank you for your efforts and bid you farewell with this wine. Leaving does not mean the end, but the beginning of a new journey. I hope you will continue to sing and shine in the new journey and write a brilliant and colorful new chapter in your life... Take care!" After

the voice fell, Feng Qi drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing this, Su Nian immediately drank the farewell wine.

When Feng Qi left, they got on different farewell cars.

On this journey, each of them went in a different direction and went to a different world.

When the farewell car stopped at the north city gate, as soon as Su Nian got off the car, he saw his mother looking at him from afar with red eyes, and his father stood beside his mother in silence.

Su Nian smiled and waved at this time, and then strode out of the north city.

Future, here I come!

In the city, seeing Su Nian's figure gradually going away, Su Nian's father finally couldn't suppress the surging emotions, and his eyes were red:

"This kid, really makes me proud..."

When he said this, his father's mouth corners were forced to smile, but tears could not stop flowing.

He understood that this separation, perhaps the father and son would never meet again in the future...

...

Dawn 47 years.

Passing through the black field barrier, what appeared in Su Nian's eyes was an endless sea of ​​flowers.

Countless blooming field plants swayed in the wind, and a large number of field insects flew over the sea of ​​flowers.

With arms open, breathing the air full of spiritual energy, Su Nian felt the beauty of the new world in front of him.

At this moment, his face was no longer childish. After the long journey, his face was covered with ravines. Every detail hides the ups and downs of a journey, with ups and downs and joys.

Before coming to this flower field, Su Nian had crossed the endless ocean and snow-covered mountains... He witnessed the desolation, endured loneliness, and faced danger countless times, but he also felt the culture and landforms of different ethnic groups.

But Su Nian was not defeated by setbacks. His eyes still revealed the fearlessness of continuing to move forward and the curiosity about the unknown road ahead.

Sitting down in the sea of ​​flowers, Su Nian began to observe the characteristics of the field plants here, and transmitted them to the faith database in real time through the faith connection.

During the period, he picked a petal, put it in his mouth, chewed it briefly, and spit it out. He began to feel the effect of the unknown spiritual plant.

In Su Nian's eyes, what he saw and heard during the journey is a precious treasure. He always records the richness and cruel competition between forces discovered during the journey.

After uploading the characteristics of the plants with a consciousness scan, he took out the food from the space bracelet and began to eat.

It has been 35 years since he left home.

The supplies he brought before leaving Star City have long been consumed. Now he eats the beasts he hunted during the journey, or the spiritual plants he collected.

Thanks to the space bracelet, he did not starve to death.

During the journey, he finally understood why Feng Qi would allocate such a precious space bracelet to them.

According to the records in the faith database, the leader of the human race, Feng Qi, had experienced a long journey to become a god. He knew that there were many fields on the journey that did not have food suitable for human physique. Sometimes, he could not find food in several fields in a row.

If there is no sufficient food reserve, the probability of starving to death is very high.

Eating the dark dish of wind blue flowers and raw meat of field beasts prepared in advance, Su Nian was thinking about his worries, and his parents' faces suddenly appeared in his mind unconsciously.

In recent years, he has communicated with his parents' consciousness group in the faith space, and he has clearly told his parents that this journey is only forward, not back.

Although his parents said they supported him, he could feel their reluctance.

Thinking of this, Su Nian's eyes dimmed.

Xingcheng has a very complete welfare system. His parents will never have to worry about food and drink in their lives. It's just that he can't be with his parents and take care of them in their old age.

This is his biggest regret.

But during his days of wandering outside, he carried the expectations and future of the human race. He couldn't unload this responsibility, nor did he want to unload it.

With a sigh, Su Nian lay on his back in the sea of ​​flowers, looking up at the wonderful green sky.

Sleepiness came like a tide, he knew that his journey was not over yet, and a new journey was about to begin.

...

Dawn 54.

Standing on a cliff thousands of meters high, Su Nian overlooked the world under his feet.

In the distance was a tribe ruled by the forest giants.

The buildings there are very distinctive, like huge mushrooms, covered with branches and green leaves, perfectly blending with the environment.

Dense forests can be seen everywhere here, and the trees are generally more than 100 meters high. Various green plants and shrubs are intertwined, composing a green symphony. Clear streams and lakes can be seen everywhere in the forest, flowing with transparent jade-colored crystal liquid, which is very much like the nectar described in mythological stories.

This place is full of vitality, interpreting the unique charm of different natural environments.

Sitting on the cliff, Su Nian took off the clothes woven with beast fur, took out a spiritual plant from the space bracelet, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and applied it to the waist and abdomen.

The cool feeling flowed into the body along with the dissemination of the medicinal effect, and the tearing and tingling sensation subsided.

This wound was left during the escape half a day ago. He accidentally encountered the forest giant tribe and was attacked by the forest giant before he could say hello.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and escaped in time, but there were still abrasions on his waist and abdomen caused by throwing weapons.

After the wound scabbed, Su Nian took out the food from the space bracelet and ate it in big mouthfuls.

During these years of traveling, he found that his cooking skills had improved significantly.

For safety reasons, he rarely made fire to cook, but he learned to combine different foods for seasoning.

He felt that if he returned to Star City, he would definitely be able to develop a new kind of seasoning cuisine.

But in comparison, he yearned more for the excitement of the journey and the exploration of the unknown.

After eating, Su Nian took out the blood crystal stone extracted from the space bracelet after killing the domain beast, and began to sit cross-legged to practice the blood and flesh sacrifice technique.

Through practicing blood and flesh sacrifice over the years, his strength has grown rapidly.

But he never takes risks.

After all, he is just alone and cannot compete with the domain tribe in the domain field.

The main technique was also changed to "Wind Surge" decades ago, the purpose of which is to have a faster speed when escaping.

In Su Nian's view, he is not experiencing Feng Qi's challenge to ascend to the god, so there is no need to deliberately increase the difficulty of the journey. Escape when encountering danger is the most correct choice.

Only by staying alive can the journey continue.

After several hours of practice, he stood up and decided to bypass the forest domain field tribe and move forward.

The owner of this domain was very rude. He had to leave as soon as possible to avoid encountering the forest giants again.

After all, he didn't have a pass.

...

Dawn 57.

Su Nian crossed the domain barrier and came to a brand new domain world.

The sky here was gloomy, as if covered with a gray filter, without any other colors.

The land under his feet was very muddy and wet, and there was a stench in the air. Looking into the distance, he could see the skeletons of giant creatures, covered with twisted tentacles.

While exploring this domain, Su Nian sensed some strong energy fluctuations.

With curiosity, he followed the energy fluctuations to a cave.

The shape of this cave was like the open bloody mouth of a giant beast. There was a stone pillar pointing to the sky above the cave, like a horn growing on the head of a giant beast.

Before investigating the source of the energy fluctuations, Su Nian did not act rashly for safety reasons.

Along the way, he also encountered domains occupied by undead creatures.

In this kind of field, flesh and blood creatures like him are like lights in the dark night. If there are undead creatures nearby, they can easily smell his flesh and blood, and then launch a bloodthirsty attack on him.

This is the survival experience that has been cultivated in many years of travel.

After carefully observing the cave for a long time, he was sure that the cave was formed by the magic of nature. Only then did he boldly explore the cave.

After entering the cave, the already weak light completely disappeared. Su Nian took out a gem with a hazy light from the space bracelet and used it as a flashlight to explore inside.

There was a strong stench in the cave, and the air was completely covered with the smell of decay.

The interior of the cave was very humid, with water droplets dripping on the rock walls, and the ground was also soaked in green water vapor.

Such an environment is extremely harsh, and perhaps only undead creatures can perfectly adapt to such an environment.

Walking in, the temperature began to drop sharply, but the road behind was getting wider and wider.

At the end of the cave, a cave space appeared in front of Su Nian, with a large number of corpses hanging neatly inside.

This place seemed to have been the residence of a weak tribe. It was unknown when it encountered an invasion by foreign tribes. There were obvious traces of fierce fighting around it. The fate of the domain forces living here was very miserable.

After observing here for a long time, Su Nian, who did not find the source of energy, sighed and shook his head, ready to turn around and leave.

At this moment, he suddenly found a faint light flickering on the rock wall of this mine.

With curiosity, he came to the wall of the mine, reached out and touched the rock wall, and began to recall the domain knowledge in his mind. This seemed to be a spiritual ore resource that he had learned.

He could not recall the relevant information, so he immediately closed his eyes and connected to the faith database, and began to read the relevant knowledge of spiritual ore.

Soon, he found the target.

The spiritual ore on the wall of this cave is the main material for building Dawn City, the energy-absorbing stone.

There are very few such materials in the human race's resource library. In the later period, they generally need to be imported into Destiny City, and they have to pay a lot of purchase fees every year.

This surprised Su Nian very much.

He immediately took out the mining draft from the space bracelet, knocked off a piece of energy-absorbing stone and observed it carefully, and then tried to destroy it with energy.

As he expected, the energy-absorbing stone quickly absorbed the energy he released.

After confirming that this was the energy-absorbing stone, Su Nian began to dig. He wanted to estimate the reserves of this undeveloped energy-absorbing spiritual ore resource area.

During the excavation, surprises appeared one after another. Su Nian found that the output of this energy-absorbing spiritual mine was very high. Basically, a piece of energy-absorbing spiritual ore could be produced after a few diggings. For

a more detailed exploration and investigation, he was not an expert and obviously could not estimate the specific reserve information.

Without hesitation, he immediately took out the space coordinate instrument, recorded the space coordinate information and uploaded it to the faith database.

After doing all this, Su Nian smiled.

He knew that he had contributed to the development of the human race again. When the space technology is very mature in the future, the human army will definitely come to mine this batch of resources for the construction of Dawn City.

The discovery of this spiritual mine cave will significantly slow down the human race's resource investment in the construction of Dawn City in the future.

After circling the space inside the mine cave and confirming that there were no other undiscovered things, Su Nian turned and walked out of the mine cave.

His mission of traveling is to record and discover. As for when the top leaders of Star City will send exploration and mining teams, it is not within his consideration.

Next, he will continue to move forward and continue to explore.

Walking out of the mine along the passage he came from, the darkness around him gradually faded, and the light at the entrance of the cave was clearly visible.

As soon as he walked out of the mine, the scene in front of him stunned Su Nian.

He saw countless lives with gray skin and gray eyes had surrounded the mine. The thick death aura dissipated from the surface of the creatures in these areas. The burly figure in the lead was holding a huge bone weapon shaped like a sickle, staring at him with indifferent eyes.

Seeing this scene, Su Nian's joyful mood suddenly fell to the bottom:

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to fall this time."
