Countless creatures had perished here.
Fur, muscles, blood...
They were all burned to ashes by the omnipresent phosphorus flames, and in the end, only the completely 'cleaned' skeletons were left.
Thus, this place became a true forbidden zone of life - the Bone Burial Ground.
It could be said that in the Dark Continent, where common sense and logic were thrown out the window, the rootless phosphorus flames wandering the Bone Burial Ground could incinerate any living being into bones.
The level of threat was self-evident.
However, as long as one avoided touching these flames, it was possible to safely traverse the Bone Burial Ground.
And with Shizuku on their side, Moses and his team had relied on Blinky to sweep away all the obstructing phosphorus flames along their journey.
These phosphorus flames, which were absorbed into Potclean's body, became Moses's means of dealing with Sulfur.
Moreover, only Moses could execute this tactic.
'From a biological perspective, the threats of nature are even more deadly.'
Moses calmly watched the phosphorus flames that had been ignited in one go.
Given the nature of the phosphorus flames, he didn't believe Sulfur could survive.
Biscuit and the others gradually moved closer to Moses while keeping an eye on the raging flames at the explosion's epicenter.
They shared Moses's view and didn't believe Sulfur could survive such an intense explosion.
After a long time…
The flames gradually subsided, and the black smoke rising into the sky also dissipated.
After the fire, a new skeleton lay among the various bones scattered across the ground.
It was Sulfur's skeleton.
A magical beast with monstrous levels of Manifested Aura had died so abruptly in a sea of phosphorus flames.
However, the faint blue phosphorus flames that had burned away his flesh and blood continued to drift aimlessly as if nothing had happened.
Moses glanced at Sulfur's skeleton and felt a little relieved.
"It really didn't touch a single 'bone'."
Moses's gaze shifted to the blue phosphorus flames that had taken down Sulfur in an instant, and he couldn't help but murmur in awe.
The towering flames had risen into the sky, yet they hadn't affected the surrounding bones in the slightest.
These rootless flames, which could only be seen with Gyo, were truly 'insulated' from bones.
As Moses marveled at this, he also carefully considered the lethality of the phosphorus flames.
For Nen Users, these rootless flames were nothing short of a deadly weapon.
If they could be properly stored, they would make a powerful tool.
Unfortunately, Shizuku couldn't retain memories of what Blinky absorbed for long. Otherwise, she could have collected some phosphorus flames in Blinky's stomach and spat them out when needed.
Moses had also thought about helping Shizuku overcome this limitation.
But forgetfulness was one of the foundational conditions of Shizuku's Blinky Ability System, so he has no idea where to start.
There are some things that once Shizuku forgets, no matter how they remind her, she will never remember them again.
Just like the scene in the original work where Shizuku arm-wrestled Gon...
After just half a day, Shizuku had completely forgotten about the arm-wrestling match.
Franklin and Feitan reminded her at the time, but Shizuku still had no recollection or awareness of it.
If Moses insisted on helping Shizuku overcome this and somehow succeeded…
Then, Shizuku's Blinky Ability System would undoubtedly undergo corresponding changes.
This was the profound and mysterious nature of Nen Ability System.
'Right, we could use bone-made containers to store these flames.'
Unable to rely on Blinky's ability, Moses thought of using bones, which were immune to the phosphorus flames.
'It's just... the risks are quite high.'
Having witnessed the lethality of the phosphorus flames, Moses genuinely felt they were useful. However, he also had to face the potential risks of taking them with him.
After some thought, Moses ultimately decided against taking the phosphorus flames.
Strictly speaking, these flames were already at the same level as the Five Calamities. Using them in the Dark Continent was one thing, but bringing them back to the Six Continents was out of the question.
In comparison, the small items Don Freecss had given him were more worth bringing back to the Six Continents.
"Let's go, time is tight."
Moses took one last look at Sulfur's skeleton.
He didn't know the details of this magical beast race, but with the return journey ahead, he didn't have time to delve deeper.
Mainly, it was because Kyoka Suigetsu couldn't affect this magical beast, otherwise, he wouldn't have minded wasting a bit of time on this.
When everyone heard Moses's words, they took one last look at Sulfur's skeleton.
Even now, they still felt a bit bewildered.
Soon, the team continued their journey across the Bone Burial Ground.
With Shizuku's Blinky leading the way, the phosphorus flames wandering the Bone Burial Ground posed no threat, allowing the team to maintain good progress.
Time passes...
Half a month flew by.
Moses's team trekked through various perilous terrains, narrowly avoiding dangers, and finally arrived at the red land that Don Freecss had mentioned.
According to the information provided by Don Freecss, their next step is to cross this vast red land to reach the eastern coastline of the Dark Continent.
And an Ancient Pipeline leading directly to the Six Continents was located somewhere in the red land.
That place was close to the coastline, meaning that Moses and his team would have to cross this red land to find the Ancient Pipeline.
Having spent nearly a year in the Dark Continent, this final leg of the journey was nothing for the entire team.
"The last stretch."
Looking ahead at the red land, in the distance close to the horizon, they can could vaguely see some oddly shaped red rocks and sparse red trees.
The red rocks were scattered haphazardly, while the red trees stood tall and straight.
The two exuded completely different styles.
Moses squinted and could barely make out the outline of the red trees, from which he concluded that it was a type of tree with sparse leaves but densely growing branches.
But due to the distance, it was hard to judge the size of the rocks and trees.
After a short rest, the team officially set foot on this red land.
The view ahead was quite open, making it the least challenging terrain to explore, but they couldn't afford to be careless.
After all, this is the Dark Continent...
The seemingly safest places often hid countless dangers.
Several days later.
Bone Burial Ground.
Everywhere one look, they can see pale skeletons, and faint blue phosphorus flames drifting aimlessly in the air.
Thud, thud-
There was a sound of hollow footsteps in the distance.
A slender figure descended from a small hill of bones, moving with a winding, snake-like gait, nimbly weaving through the phosphorus flames.
After a while.
The slender figure came to a stop.
"…"
The figure slowly lowered its head, silently gazing at a skeleton lying on the ground with its arms outstretched.
If Moses had been there, he would have recognized this skeleton as Sulfur.
"You 'crossed the line', Sulfur."
