Voyage of the Stars

One-eighteenths of a local year later, the kobold finally organized an expedition team, and after five-eighteenths of a local year, set foot on the center of the planet's desolate continent.

The world that kobolds live in consists of a whole continent and scattered small islands. Until now, the scattered overseas islands are still inaccessible, and almost all kobolds live on the road.

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

The entire continent spans the equator and runs through the north and south poles. There are vast oceans on the east and west sides of the continent. This geographical environment has also resulted in a unique climate environment for this continent. There is sufficient water vapor around the continent and lush vegetation. The closer to the center of the continent, the drier the climate and the sparser the vegetation. Therefore, in the middle of the continent, there are basically vast deserts.

However, it is somewhat different from the desert landscape that people know. The deserts on this planet are not all connected to the city. Instead, they are isolated by some towering mountains and mountains and are divided into deserts. The highest mountains on the planet are located in deserts. The area where the highest peak is located is an endless mountain range, the top of which is covered with snow all year round.

Precisely because the highest peak is located in the continent, the snow melted and flowed downwards, washing through the desert areas and creating a river that was more than 4,000 kilometers long on the continent. This river has been flowing for countless thousands of years.

"Professor Amir, we don't have much rations with us anymore. It's not too late to return now. If we take them to the center, we will never come back."

Looking at the vast expanse of desert in the direction pointed by the compass needle, a kobold in the expedition team spoke something he had been waiting for for a long time. While speaking, his eyes looked at the leading kobold wearing a cowboy hat. .

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

As for the so-called title, it was indeed his own claim. He did not have any authoritative certificate from any geographical organization, but he was really familiar with the landforms and environments in various parts of the continent. For this reason, he relied on this ability to join the expedition team. .

"Brother Eighteen, does that old man really want to go back?" A kobold responsible for security quietly approached the kobold who claimed to be proficient in geography and whispered.

"No, this expedition is funded by the state. As one of the best history professors in the country, Professor Amir will not give up so easily, but the two guys recruited temporarily cannot be sure." The kobold called Brother Eighteen glanced at the kobold who was talking to Amir.

That was the theologian in the team, a complete stickman. At the moment, he was talking to Professor Amir on the mound, and seemed to be persuading Professor Amir to return.

In fact, when humans were on the kobold planet, they also had theology, but what they learned was not the knowledge of magic sticks, but the etiquette and worldview that taught kobolds how to obey humans. It’s just that as the years have changed, what humans have taught has been buried in history, and theology of the God Stick has appeared in the kobold world.

"Aren't we going to persuade him?" The kobold responsible for security also looked in the direction of Amir.

"Why should you persuade him? Those who should leave will leave." The kobold known as Brother Eighteen shook his dog head, looking like he had seen through all the situations in life.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a few quarrels coming from Amir's side, and then saw the theologian say something like "the true God will not bless you", then turned around and left, returning to the route he came from.

He was accompanied by a kobold and wilderness survival expert who was responsible for safety. Without him, these two joined the team with him.

"I said there will definitely be problems on the wild road, but you didn't listen. It's fine now. People are gone. Our adventure is over. Hey. This may be the last time the teacher led the team. If we don't get any results, we will definitely be accompanied by others. Made fun of."

"Why don't we just leave three people? I don't think it's that serious. Don't we still have five people, so five people can't continue to leave?"

"Let's go? How to go? To put it lightly, the road ahead is either a vast desert or a barren snow-capped mountain. There is nothing. What are we going to eat? Let me see, let's just go back."

"As a teacher's student, why are you so unsteady in your will? The teacher hasn't even spoken yet!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

After the three kobolds left, the sound of two kobolds quarreling came from Amir's location. Listening to the content of their conversation, it was obvious that they were two of Amir's students.

After the quarrel gradually subsided, the kobold known as Myna saw one of the students walking towards him. She was a female kobold with orange-yellow and soft hair. According to human standards, this male and female kobold Her expression is funny, but according to kobold aesthetics, she is very beautiful.

"Wei Shiba, do you two want to go back too?" The beautiful kobold came over and said, it was obvious that she had a temper.

"Oh? Third sister also wants us to leave?" Wei Shiba, the kobold known as Brother Shiba, asked, tilting his head.

"It doesn't matter what I hope. I'm just here to ask you, do you want to go back or move on? Give me a word. If you want to leave, I will settle the expenses for you now and move on. I will double the salary for each of you. If If I can really find Tianmen, I will give you ten times more." The kobold known as the third sister is very direct, and her words smell like capital.

Speaking of which, although this expedition is supported by a certain kobold country, it is basically only nominal support, some scientific equipment and the basic salary of the expedition team. Things like adding money to recruit additional team members are not included in the project support funds. .

Wei Shiba knew this very well, so he asked: "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 kobold answered simply, because she is very rich.

"I don't like to give up halfway." A smile appeared on Wei Shiba's funny dog-headed face. He is a bastard if he doesn't make money.

Although he himself does not want to give up, he will not take the money for nothing if he does not take it.

"You can't tell my teacher about this. Also, now that the wild survival expert is gone, what should we do?" The third kobold sister's face showed concern.

"I know a thing or two." Wei Shiba replied with a smile.
