Chapter 1134: Chapter 1133: Taking a Boat Chapter 1134: Chapter 1133: Taking a Boat Treading on the oozing, foul-smelling green Tentacle viscous liquid.

Facing the direction of the biting wind and sticking to an extremely narrow crevice, he finally escaped from the teleportation cave constructed by Shoggoth.

His foot landed on a thick layer of snow.

Outside the cave was the dormant volcano in the center of the island, covered with snow from the foot of the mountain upwards,

The location he was in now was about eight hundred meters above the ground level of the island,

Although the island was still a considerable distance from Antarctica,

Han Dong tried to look as far south as possible, where he could vaguely see a thin film emitting pale light of varied colors, bordering the sky and ocean.

As Eugene had said, Antarctica was under some kind of spatial blockade by technology… Even if Antarctica was Eugene’s homeland, it could only be accessed from the outside through the most basic physical means.

Why set up such a vast spatial Barrier?

With his curiosity retained, Han Dong slowly let his gaze drift down the mountain, and, to his surprise, discovered a “rather bustling” “harbor town” at the edge of the island.

This was very strange.

Not to mention whether this island even existed on the world map of the human era.

Even if it did, given its great distance from the mainland and the absence of valuable natural resources for export, no one would establish a town here… Even if there were a village, it would at most be a primitive tribe cut off from society.

What came into view was indeed a harbor town.

Moreover, inside, there were several large buildings hundreds of meters tall, a bustling dock area, and large ships docked at the port.

Eugene explained simply,

“Almost every week, an ‘Exploration Team’ gathers here, heading to Antarctica in search of opportunities… After all, Antarctica was one of the most prosperous regions on Earth before the global catastrophe.

The treasures and technology of the Elder Race alone inspire longing.

We will also follow an Exploration Team, expecting it to take about a month’s time.”

Upon hearing this, Han Dong finally voiced the question in his heart, “Eugene, doesn’t your race originate from Antarctica? Aren’t there any exclusive pathways?”

“Yes, but I can’t use them with you two here.

The Shoggoth pathway, only Shoggoths can traverse… Your genetic sequences cannot pass through such special pathways and would be disintegrated in the middle, leading to absolute Death.

Moreover, this port City is also ‘Antarctica certified.’

Anyone who departs from here and heads to the depths of Antarctica in a regular manner will be acknowledged by the Elder Race.”

“Alright then.”

Han Dong didn’t particularly believe Eugene’s explanation.

At this point, he only had the option of following the route Eugene had planned.

After all, a long ‘sea voyage’ was involved, an aspect in which Han Dong had an advantage… Recently, in the final competition, Han Dong had just unlocked the Deep-sea Diver status by imitating Nicole.

…

Manmu Town.

Following a tarred road that connected the town with the dormant volcano, upon arriving at this exceptionally thriving harbor town, he immediately smelled the familiar foul, fishy odor, like pickled fish in stinky boots.

It seemed that most harbor towns had similar smells, a scent mingled with the sea.

However, compared to the muddy and puddle-filled harbor towns Han Dong had visited before, this City was quite clean and orderly… The tarred roads throughout the town had only small water puddles, with dedicated cleaners responsible for the sanitation of the town.

Moreover, most of the Residents active here were dressed in relatively clean clothes.

This was not London; there were no enforced requirements for anthropomorphism.

Therefore, individuals active around the harbor town all more or less revealed their own characteristics and true states.

However, they all reduced their sizes to within the range of [0.5 to 2 times the size of humans], a smaller stature better suited for withstanding the cold and boarding ships, and also to avoid attracting unnecessary danger due to excessive size.

The locals who had settled here long-term were a group from the Deep Sea, with faces covered in squid tentacles and short and stout figures.

They sold necessary seafaring supplies at a higher price to the adventurers who arrived here, and there were even some peddling ‘enlightened’ Deep Sea Possession Charms, claiming they could effectively reduce the chances of encountering shipwrecks.

However, the related businesses in the dock area were their main source of income.

These fellows from the Deep Sea were also more than happy to do business here.

“This port city is managed by the Deep Sea. As long as you pay, they’re more than willing to help.

But when it comes to matters at the dock, you still need a bit of a ‘connection’ to get on the better ships, and that’s where you come in.”

“Got it.”

Guided by Eugene, they came to a conch-shaped building in the dock area.

The lobby was filled with a variety of different, fully-armed demons ready to set sail, and even some beings who still hadn’t reached the demon level… it seemed they planned to take the ‘Antarctic journey’ as an opportunity for a breakthrough to demon status.

Han Dong and his two companions concealed their auras with their own abilities, their level information unreadable.

Only an exceptional few demons with superior perception noticed something unusual about the three individuals.

Anyone who dared to pry would suffer from Eugene’s Field Backlash, with the lightest being struck by plague, confined to bed for at least several weeks, and the most severe turning immediately into a puddle of eyeball slime.

When someone in the crowd noticed something odd about Eugene, they immediately showed a look of terror and quickly left with their team.

In terms of danger, Eugene was probably second only to the Mad Demon Green among the Element Bodies…

Since Eugene took care of any unnecessary trouble, Han Dong focused only on the matter of boarding a ship.

He stood in a long queue, taking half an hour before it was finally his turn.

“Excuse me, three tickets to Antarctica.”

What Han Dong handed over was not the common currency used among demons, but an ancient coin from the Deep Sea.

The person behind the counter, his facial tentacles twitching suddenly, knew that individuals holding such coins were definitely influential figures from the Deep Sea.

He licked his protruding eyeball with saliva and examined the youth with a human appearance before him.

At this moment, Han Dong imitated Nicole to some extent.

A few octopus tentacles emerged from between his arms, accompanied by a Deep Sea Mark surfacing on the back of his hand.

At the same time, Han Dong placed a finger to his lips and asked softly, “My friends and I need to do something quite discreet deep in Antarctica, can you arrange something for us here?”

“No problem.

Our finest ‘Deep Sea Coral’ just so happens to be docked at the port, though there will be a group of explorers of similar stature sharing the ship with you…

We can also arrange a submarine passage for you.

However, since you’re going to Antarctica, it’s better to go by ship. If the method of going to Antarctica isn’t recognized, it will bring you a lot of trouble later on.”

“Alright, then by ship it is.”

“Please wait at the back door for a moment, I’ll take you there myself.”

Led by the staff, they came to a lighthouse building at the dock.

The ‘Deep Sea Coral’ didn’t seem to be moored at the dock, but rather, in the sea.

Through an elevator inside the lighthouse, descending a hundred meters underwater, a giant ship constructed of colorful corals was revealed before the two.

A special exploration team called out to the sailors as they carried large cargo boxes onto the ship, these boxes seemed to contain some rather dirty items.
