Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 612 I Keep Searching

After one eighteenth of a local year, the dog-headed man finally organized an expedition team, and after five eighteenths of a local year, he set foot on the center of the desolate continent of this planet.

The world where the dog-headed man lives consists of a whole continent and scattered small islands. Until now, the scattered islands overseas are still sparsely visited, and almost all the dog-headed people live on the road.

The land area and the ocean area are almost half each, and the magical thing is that its land is almost a whole piece except for some scattered small islands. Such a large continent is all stuck together, which can be called Pangu Continent.

The whole continent spans the equator, runs through the North and South Poles, and the east and west sides of the continent are all vast oceans. And such a geographical environment also makes this continent form a unique climate environment. There is sufficient water vapor and lush vegetation around the continent. The closer to the center of the continent, the drier the climate and the sparser the vegetation. Therefore, in the central part of the continent, there are basically large deserts.

However, it is somewhat different from the desert landforms that people know. The deserts on this planet are not all connected, but are separated by some high mountains and mountain ranges that tower into the clouds, and are divided into pieces of desert. The highest mountain on the planet is located in the desert. And the area where the highest peak is located is an endless mountain range, and the top of the mountain range is covered with snow all year round.

Because the highest peak is located in the continent, the snow melts and flows down, washing through the desert area, and washing out a river of more than 4,000 kilometers on this continent. This river has been flowing for countless tens of thousands of years.

"Professor Amir, we don't have much food to carry. It's still time to go back now. If we go to the center again, we will never return."

Looking at the direction where the compass needle points to a vast desert, a dog-headed man in the expedition team made a long-suffering speech. While speaking, his eyes looked at the dog-headed man who was leading the expedition wearing a cowboy-like hat.

The expedition team, including the leader Amir, has a total of eight members. A historian, two students of historians, a theologian, a wilderness survival expert, two relatively strong people in charge of safety, and the last one is a guy who claims to be proficient in geography.

He claims to be, that is indeed what he claims. He does not have any authoritative certification from any geographical institution, but he is really familiar with the landforms and environment of various parts of the continent. It is for this reason that he joined the expedition team with this ability.

"Eighteenth brother, that old man doesn't really want to go back." A dog-headed man in charge of safety quietly approached the dog-headed man who claimed to be proficient in geography and whispered.

"No, this expedition is funded by the state. Professor Amir is one of the best history professors in the country. He will not give up so easily, but it is hard to say about the two guys who were temporarily recruited." The dog-headed man called Eighteenth Brother glanced at the dog-headed man who was talking to Amir.

That was the theologian in the team, a complete charlatan. At this moment, he was talking to Professor Amir on the mound, seemingly persuading Professor Amir to go back.

In fact, when humans were on the Gnoll Planet, they also had theology, but what they learned was not the knowledge of charlatans, but a knowledge of etiquette and worldview that taught Gnolls how to obey humans. However, with the passage of time, what humans taught has been buried in history, and charlatan theology has appeared in the Gnoll World.

"Why don't we persuade them?" The Gnoll in charge of security also looked in the direction of Amir.

"Why should we persuade them? Those who should leave will leave." The Gnoll, known as the Eighteenth Brother, shook his dog head, looking like he saw through all kinds of life.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, he heard a few quarrels from Amir, and then saw the theologian throw down a sentence like the true God will not bless you, and then turned and left, returning to the route he came from.

Walking with him, there was also a Gnoll in charge of security and a wilderness survival expert. Without him, these two joined the team with him.

"I told you that there would be problems if we took the wild route, but you didn't listen. Now that everyone is gone, our expedition is over. Hey, this may be the last time the teacher leads the team. If we go back without any results, we will definitely be laughed at by our peers."

"Only three of them left. I don't think it's that serious. We still have five people. Can't we continue to go?"

"Go? How can we go? That's easy to say. The road ahead is either a vast desert or a barren snow-capped mountain. There is nothing. What can we eat? I think we should just go back."

"As a student of the teacher, how can you be so undetermined? The teacher hasn't even spoken yet!"

"Then what do you say we should do?"

After the three dog-headed men left, the sound of two dog-headed men arguing came from where Amir was. From the content of their conversation, it was obvious that they were two of Amir's students.

After the quarrel gradually died down, the dog-headed man called Bage saw one of the students walking towards him. It was a female dog-headed man with smooth orange-yellow hair. According to human aesthetics, the expression of this male and female dog-headed man was very funny, but according to the dog-headed man's aesthetics, she was very beautiful.

"Wei Shiba, do you two want to go back too?" The beautiful dog-headed man walked over and said, and it can be seen that she has a temper.

"Oh? Third sister also wants us to leave?" Wei Shiba, the dog-headed man called Eighteen Brother, asked back with his head tilted.

"It has nothing to do with my hope. I just want to ask you, do you want to go back or keep going? Give me a word. If you want to go, I will pay you off now. If you want to keep going, I will double your salary. If you can really find the gate of heaven, I will give you ten times more." The dog-headed man called the third sister was very direct, and the word was full of capital.

Speaking of this expedition, although there was support from a certain country of the dog-headed man, it was basically just nominal support and some scientific equipment and basic salary of the expedition team. Things like adding money to recruit additional team members were not included in the project support funds.

Wei Shiba was very clear about this, so he asked back: "Misappropriation of public funds?"

"No, I funded it myself. Don't get me wrong. I just don't want to disappoint my teacher." The third sister of the dog-headed man answered very straightforwardly because she was very rich.

"I don't like to give up halfway." Wei Shiba's funny dog-headed face showed a smile. If you don't make money, you are a bastard.

Although he himself didn't want to give up, it would be a waste not to take the money that was free.

"You can't tell my teacher about this. Also, now that the wilderness survival expert is gone, what should we do?" The third sister of the dog-headed man showed worry on her face.

"I know a thing or two." Wei Shiba smiled back.
