Crossing the Mountain Range for a Hundred Thousand Kilometers

Spike Mountain Range.

Kevin stood on a cliff near the sea.

On one side, the waves crashed against the sea cliffs; on the other side, there was a dark and oppressive environment.

He was at a high vantage point, and apart from sparse weeds and trees, there were no other large objects obstructing his view.

From here, he could see the towering mountains at the edge of his field of vision.

He had already walked quite a distance along the beach.

He had been walking for about half a month, starting from the point when he entered the area Spike Mountain Range were visible.

However, half a month has passed.

When he looked to his left, and when he looked inland, all he saw were those Spike Mountain Range.

The surrounding scenery seemed unchanged.

"That's right, this Spike Mountain Range should be the one that appeared in the book."

Kevin murmured.

Upon hearing Kevin's words, the Three-Tails dog, who had been peeling fruit on the ground, tugged at his trouser leg and jumped onto his shoulder in a few leaps.

Holding the fruit in both hands and munching on it, it looked more like a squirrel.

"A book?" Three-Tails, somewhat puzzled.

You haven't seen it.

"Oh."

There are no paper books in the camp, only e-books stored in the database and on the computers.

In the Travelogue.

The only thing we can speculate about is the chronological order in which things occur.

The book does not describe the distance and size of the environment.

Yes, Spike Mountain is described in the book; it is a distinctive terrain feature in the Dark Continent.

In the Travelogue written by Don Fuglits, what is described in detail, besides the special environment, are the special things.

When studying this book, distinctive environments were used as references in the geographical sections.

For special items, the location is determined by referencing the specific environment.

Recall the description of Spike Mountain in the book?

Spiky mountain peaks, a dark environment.

And as explicitly mentioned in the book, the creatures in this environment are all rather ugly.

With such a vast environment, there must be some valuable treasures to be found.

Only one type is explicitly mentioned in the book.

A type of gemstone.

So Spike Mountain is actually this close?

It took Kevin two whole months to walk from the camp to Spike Mountain.

However, geographically speaking, it is definitely close to the Dark Continent.

With that in mind, Kevin squatted down on the ground and began to write and draw.

He compared the areas around the camp that he had visited with the entire timeline in the book.

It's now basically certain how East Fuglits explored the coastline of the Dark Continent.

His exploration route can be roughly divided into two parts: top and bottom.

Connect in a Z-shape.

As expected, he should be moving through the center of the environment.

Once a special environment or object is discovered, it will explore it, and once explored, it will deviate and move forward in the opposite direction.

This would cause the specific environments and material locations to be connected in a chronological order, appearing as vertical connections.

It can be confirmed that after they logged into the Dark Continent, their deductions regarding the distance and direction of various objects and environments were relatively clear.

However, he didn't say in the book that the Spike Mountain Range were that big.

He walked along the coast for half a month.

In other words, even if he were in the mountains, he certainly wouldn't be able to cross them in half a month.

That's a very long distance.

Keep in mind that for Kevin, crossing the Giant Beast Kingdom from its farthest ends would only take two or three days.

Even in the more expansive Gale Grassland, the journey from the outer perimeter to the central Golden Grassland takes no more than a week.

If you were to walk through the entire route, it would take at most half a month to complete.

Kevin has been walking along the coast for more than half a month now, and looking into the distance, he can see that there is no end in sight.

It's important to know that at the edges of a mountain range, the Spike Mountain are generally shorter; the closer you get to the center of the mountain range, the more exaggerated the height of the Spike Mountain becomes.

Looking at the Spike Mountain now, the highest ones are no longer visible at their midsections.

Because even the mountainside was completely covered by clouds.

Do you feel dangerous now?

Kevin looked at the Three-Tails on his shoulder and suddenly asked a question.

The Three-Tails creature nibbled on the fruit and nodded slightly.

"That's a bit dangerous."

Is there a little?

After assessing the level of danger, Kevin marked it and decided to continue.

He has absolutely no intention of exploring Spike Mountain now.

Another half month passed just like that.

The size of the mountain peaks had begun to gradually decrease, which meant that Kevin was approaching the other Boundary and was about to leave the range of the mountains.

But the surrounding temperature began to gradually decrease.

It's getting colder.

However, this was actually a very comfortable environment for the Three-Tails creature with its thick fur.

Their activities became more active.

Two days later, Kevin finally left the mountain area.

Looking into the distance, the distinctive Spike Mountain is no longer there.

"But it's so cold here."

Kevin frowned and waved his hand in the air, feeling the temperature of the air.

As expected, the area ahead should be extremely cold, with cold winds blowing from a great distance.

The temperature had improved considerably by the time we reached the edge of the mountains, but it would definitely get colder the further we went.

Sure enough, after walking for a short while, Kevin could already see the ice surface on the sea in the distance.

"Hmm? They've left the territory!"

The sudden sensation left Kevin frozen in place.

The territory marker in his hand wasn't some kind of smart device; it didn't provide any distance indication.

So as he walked, the moment his foot stepped out of the Overlord's territory, the territory control in his hand instantly became ineffective.

The feeling was so strong that he realized it immediately.

"Is this the Boundary of the Sky Overlord's territory?"

He truly never imagined that he would actually travel all the way to the Boundary of the Sky Overlord.

"Holy crap, is the territory of an Overlord really that vast?"

Kevin slapped his forehead, jolting awake.

The moment he stepped across the Boundary, his first thought was that the territory of the Overlord had boundaries.

This was certainly not a strange idea, but since he had never left the territory of the Overlord, this thought suddenly occurred to him.

The ensuing thought was that the territory of the Overlord was surprisingly small.

But this thought only flashed through my mind for a moment.

Because in that instant, he did a quick calculation.

The conclusion drawn was that the Overlord's territory was ridiculously large.

In the initial prediction of the Sky Overlord's territory, Kevin and his companions were unable to easily deduce the extent of its territory, so they gave an initial estimate of approximately the size of a human society.

But things are different now.

Because Kevin has now reached the Boundary.

He explored along the coastline where he had landed in one direction. The coastline was not necessarily straight, but based on his physical senses, it was generally straight, though it certainly had curves.

But there are absolutely no sharp turns.

Perhaps it presents an overall curved shape.

However, in terms of its physical feel, it should be an irregular wavy arc, rather than a completely curved line in one direction.

During the three months he explored as Lord, he had virtually no combat experience.

After all, those who would fight him, and those who wouldn't run away from him, undoubtedly possessed the strength of Lord Level.

Once someone has reached the Lord Level, they generally have their own territory. When Kevin discovers that someone in a certain area has the strength of Lord Level, he will not rashly step into their territory, but will instead circle around the edge.

If he doesn't provoke them, even if they discover him, they won't rashly come to fight.

This is the Dark Continent, fraught with danger. A rash and meaningless battle, even if won, will result in injury, and injury in this place means extreme danger, even death.

After all, this place isn't safe.

Moreover, none of these creatures are stupid, let alone Lord Level ones.

So Kevin had a smooth journey all the way.

On average, he walks for about sixteen hours a day, and his average speed is about twenty meters per second.

In other words, he has probably traveled 100,000 kilometers.

You wouldn't believe it until you calculated it; the results were shocking.

Even the diameter of human society isn't that long.

That's almost twice the diameter of a human society.

Because this world lacks the concept of a sphere, and because it is ridiculously large, humanity has absolutely no idea what kind of world they live in.

Based solely on mathematical exploration and speculation, it is possible that they were standing on a sphere.

Therefore, there is no accurate data on the equatorial circumference.

Kevin thought it was unlikely, given how vast the world truly is.

However, the far-end diameter of human society has been clearly explained.

The diameter between the two furthest points of the two most distant continents is approximately 45,000 kilometers.

Don't underestimate its size.

If Kevin remembers correctly, in his original world, the diameter of the entire world was only about 40,000 kilometers.

That's a distance that goes all the way around.

If it's just the two ends, then it needs to be cut in half.

This is equivalent to the size of human society alone being twice the size of the world as it once was.

This is just from continent to continent; it doesn't even include the known oceans surrounding human society.

Otherwise, it will double.

Is the login point considered the center line of the Overlord territory?

This is something that cannot be determined at all, unless Kevin also pushes himself to the limit on the other side.

But at least he determined the Boundary line on the other side.

It traveled a total of 100,000 kilometers.

That's an exaggeration.

In other words, the known scope is already far greater than human society.

This is what a true Overlord like.

Kevin sighed again, seemingly out of nowhere.

Moreover, the Boundary line happens to be the edge of the Spike Mountain Range.

This is clearly not a natural division, but a boundary line drawn by the Overlord himself.

It's unclear whether the other side of the Boundary is a buffer zone or the territory of another Overlord power.

However, Kevin stopped in his tracks.

He wasn't going to move forward.

The base will definitely be located within the territory of the Sky Overlord.

Not to mention that the land ahead is getting colder and colder, making it unsuitable even for the territory of the Sky Overlord.

He did not intend to continue back along the coast, but instead headed inland.

We returned to camp by taking a U-shaped route in a circle.

This will also allow us to explore more areas.

Heading inland, Kevin slowed his pace slightly.

"I walked along the coast for about three months, dividing it into three sections based on the distance of each month. The last section was entirely the area where the Spike Mountain Range are located."

"According to the book, the mountain environment is dark and the creatures inside are ugly. From what I have seen, the environment is also quite harsh, at least unsuitable for the growth of vegetation."

"The nearby coastline is almost entirely ocean rather than beach, and there are no suitable natural harbors, making the latter third of the section completely unsuitable as a base."

"That means you have to choose from the first two-thirds."

The first two-thirds are relatively ordinary, with sparsely vegetated wastelands, dense forests, and ordinary plains and undulating mountains.

In human society, that would certainly be a beautiful natural landscape, but on the Dark Continent, it's just an ordinary, unremarkable area.

But for humans, territory is best placed in these unremarkable terrain areas.

In any case, at least one-third of the area has been eliminated, which is a good thing.

This trip wasn't entirely fruitless.

Whether the first two-thirds approach is appropriate depends on this time, after we go back from the other side and conduct an overall assessment.

After all, he hadn't explored it in depth; he only had a general understanding of the danger.

It took him three months just to walk in a straight line; the time he spent exploring the interior was unimaginable.

This is not something one person can do.

Kevin followed the edge of the mountain inland.

Three days later, at night.

Kevin sat on a large rock, using it as a makeshift camp to rest.

Even if he doesn't sleep, just closing his eyes and resting can ensure his condition the next day.

The daily rest time is nothing more than a habit left over from the past.

This helps maintain mental health.

Otherwise, if you're constantly on the move, exploring, and traveling, it might be fine for a week or two, but after a month or two, it can become unbearable.

A perfect state naturally includes a mental state.

Three-Tails Beast was curled up in Kevin's arms, resting.

Suddenly its tail straightened, its eyes snapped open, and it leaped up.

The Three-Tails' actions naturally alerted Kevin.

"What's wrong?" Kevin asked, frowning.

The Three-Tails stood upright, gazing towards the mountains, where it was shrouded in darkness.

"Danger! Great danger!"

How big?

"More dangerous than you, but not as dangerous as a snake."

Got it, Lord Level creature.

Kevin stood up, looked in that direction, and frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he focused his Nen Aura into a beam and shot it out.

The exaggerated cultivation of qi formed a probe that shot out hundreds of kilometers in an instant.

Finally, it stopped at the 800-kilometer mark.

Perform a sector scan.

No findings were found.

Does that mean it's 800 kilometers away?

Kevin's current probe "circle" is the limit of 800 kilometers.

If it were a complete sphere, the radius would be approximately forty kilometers centered on it.

It's already reached a completely inhuman level.

This exploration distance actually only increased dramatically after it surpassed one million.

When the energy level is below one million, even at Ninety-Nine, Kevin's probe "Circle" can only travel a maximum distance of 80 kilometers.

An ordinary "circle" is only four kilometers in radius.

After exceeding one million, it multiplied tenfold.

In this way, the probe maintains a "circular" fan-shaped scan.

About an hour later.

He finally pinpointed the other person's location.

Once inside the scanning range, he clearly sensed that the other person paused briefly before continuing to walk towards him.

There was no obvious hostility.

Um?

Is there no hostility?

And—humanoid?

Kevin was genuinely surprised.

Without a doubt, the size and shape of the other party are human.

Kevin had never seen such a small Lord Level being on the Dark Continent.

Not to mention they have a human-like appearance.

Because the exploration method involves extreme distances, the accuracy is somewhat reduced.

But Kevin could still tell whether it was humanoid or not.

Could it be human?

This time, Kevin wasn't going to avoid it anymore.
