Chapter 424: Identity
Lang Tianya was afraid of delaying time, so he did not personally send Reliability back to the experimental ship. He wanted to ask Gu Bao to send it, but Xin Du didn't know if it was out of fear of Gu Bao or just politeness, so he rejected his suggestion. But before leaving, Xindu promised that in order to thank Gubao for his contribution to the experiment, he would customize a top-level luxury game cabin to the game company and give it to Gubao after he returned.
Lang Tianya watched Xindu fly away relying on the rack, and then picked up the nuclear bomb and beckoned Gu Bao to go on the road. Gu Bao wanted to send him to the vicinity of the North Pole all the time before parting, but Lang Tianya didn't want it to get too close to the Soul Eater's lair so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. So the two of them only flew a short distance together to the northwest before breaking up. Lang Tianya instructed Gu Bao to fly southwest and go back to the game village on the outskirts of Beijing to meet Lao Hu.
Lang Tianya was afraid that Gu Bao would be disobedient and would secretly follow him behind. So while he was carrying the nuclear bomb and flying in the direction of due north, he released an aura needle and followed Gu Bao for a while, until he was sure that Gu Bao would not be able to turn back to him, so he withdrew this aura needle. With more than 100 kilometers to go before he had predicted the location, he fell back to the ice, activated many of the shielding functions of the ball, and then unloaded the bomb from his back inside the ball and placed it on an ice sled made from the scraps of the dismantled bomb. From here, he will completely abandon the internal force and the assistance of the program, and instead use pure physical strength to drag the nuclear bomb and run.
In fact, the word "rune" is just a borrowing from this ancient superstitious name, which is actually supposed to be a purely extraterrestrial concept. It refers to all programs composed of card positions (the essence of which is a form of spatial arrangement and combination composed of card positions), when the aura or internal force runs at high speed according to the prescribed route, the special effect on the outside world. This special effect may be either heating or cooling; It may be either weight loss or compression; It may be far-sighted, or it may be microscopic; It may be steam accumulation into water, or it may be dehydration and drying; It can form a force field similar to a physical object like a rune shield, or it can be just a faint stream of information like a communication rune. Anyway, "runes" are varied, almost all-encompassing. If you look at them using the scientific classification method on the earth, some of these effects are forces, some are waves, some are light, some are heat, some are a mixture of the above, and even some you can't say what they are, but can only be said to be a comprehensive phenomenon produced by various physical and chemical reactions.
Practitioners of the extraterrestrial world may have their own set of theories for understanding and classifying these strange runes. But to be honest, Lang Tianya didn't have much knowledge of these extraterrestrials, or he had only come into contact with some of the fur in three days. He is a person who has been educated in earth science and culture, and has his own deep-rooted thinking mode. Therefore, he can only use the knowledge of the earth he has mastered to understand and recognize the power of the rune, and then guide his own behavior. However, as his use and understanding of talisman power deepened, he slowly discovered that although the scientific knowledge of the earth has helped him a lot in his current achievements, if he blindly relies on the earth science system to interpret the talisman power, sometimes it will be half the effort, and may even fall into mistakes. For example, a rush charm is actually a kind of rune power that speeds up. But if you analyze it according to the theory of the earth, you will find that it is complex and can drive you crazy. Therefore, he often reminds himself not to rely on some common sense of earth science to judge the laws of the use of talismans. So when it comes to infiltrating the lair of the Soul Eater, he doesn't think he can blindly act according to the common sense of the earth.
For unknown opponents, Lang Tianya has always been able to prevent it, try to prevent it; If you can use the means, try to use them. He wasn't sure what method the Soul Eater Lair would use to warn the outside world of objects close to them, but as far as the three ways he knew about perceiving the outside world were three ways to perceive the outside world, such as mana detection, observing aura fluctuations, and feeling spatial fluctuations, it was unrealistic for him to shield them all, he could only combine his own abilities according to the performance of the big ball, and try to achieve the best stealth effect on the first two methods, but he couldn't do anything about the third one. The application of spatial mana power is still a mysterious and unknown territory for him, he knows nothing except that he can use the spatial apron program and can perceive spatial fluctuations, and as for how to shield spatial fluctuations, it is not something he can achieve.
To be honest, by Pink Star's standards, the big ball is not a full-fledged talisman. When Lang Tianya was in the alien world, the talisman he came into contact with only needed to input the internal force into some areas of the operator, and this area issued a rune command on the spot, and the rune would automatically run after receiving the command, and then produce various functions. In his opinion, a mature talisman should be like a point-and-shoot camera, which automatically takes lighting, autofocuses, and automatically schedules the exposure time...... You just need to be able to press the shutter anyway. The big ball is more like one of those old-fashioned cameras, where you not only have to know how to adjust the hoop buttons on it, but you also have to pick up the little airbag yourself to light the magnesium light to create the flash effect.
The big ball was shrunk by Lang Tianya to a diameter of about three meters, just enveloping him and the nuclear bomb that was dragging behind him. At this time, he maintained multiple rune commands to maintain the stealth effect of the big ball. First of all, he has to make the outer layer of the big ball absorb all the detection power, if the monster uses this magic power to detect movement in the outside world, then they will not receive the feedback of the big ball. Secondly, he also had to make the aura flowing through the big ball appear in a natural state. If the monster has the ability to observe the fluctuations of aura, it will not be able to feel any anomalies in the flow of aura near the large ball. To achieve this effect, he needs to make the big ball "eat" the aura particles it encounters in front of him as he moves, and release them at the same flow rate in the rear. In this process, not only could he not absorb any grain of aura, but he also spent his own internal strength to maintain this process. This is one of the reasons why he stopped other procedures except for maintaining the operation of the big ball. Because until he enters the big ball until he detonates the nuclear bomb, he can no longer absorb the aura of the outside world.
Although without the help of the internal program, Lang Tianya's speed is still not low. His physical strength continued to grow even after he had the internal strength to become a warrior. He felt that his physical strength was now more than double that of when he was fleeing for his life in the Northeast. He pulled a nuclear bomb with more than a ton of speed, and the speed could still reach sixty or seventy miles, and if it weren't for the uneven ice, he was afraid that the nuclear bomb would be broken, and he could still run faster. After more than an hour, he finally arrived at the pre-estimated location.
Even though he can't be aided by an observer, his dark domain's sense of spatial fluctuations is still there. Spatial fluctuations are completely different from fluctuations and rune fluctuations caused by the flow of aura, it is more subtle than the other two fluctuations, and it is more difficult to feel, it does not act on the program, nor does it act on the card position or aura, it is the impact on the dark world space where the entire dark domain is located. As his experience deepened, Lang Tianya guessed that the reason why he could feel spatial fluctuations had more to do with his ability to control his own dark domain, and it didn't seem to have much to do with his experience of traversing.
The size of the pupa is not small, and the spatial fluctuations caused by its contraction and expansion are not small. And the duration of the fluctuations is also quite long. When Lang Tianya arrived, the afterglow of spatial fluctuations had not yet dissipated, so he quickly found the place where it unfolded. This location is over a small island near the North Pole, about thirty meters above the ground. Lang Tianya first stood at the bottom of the unfolding point and carefully experienced it, first to make sure that he was not in the wrong position, and then he observed the surrounding ice surface, and found a trace of the ice being broken five hundred meters away from the island, which seemed to be the location of the pupa into the sea. He didn't rush to take a look, but fixed his eyes on the island beneath his feet. Based on his understanding of the shield rune procedure, he felt that although the chrysalis might pass underwater when it returned, it was unlikely that it was launched from underwater. He had carefully observed and studied how the Pink Star Transport Station operated, and he guessed that there should be a embarment on the island.
This small island is very small, with only a little more than 200 square meters of outcropping, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a reef. Most of it is covered in snow and ice, with only a few areas of rock outcropping. Because Lang Tianya has always been under the concealment of the big ball, he has no way to use his clumsy detection magic power to detect the islands and reefs under his feet, nor can he condense his aura to detect the inside of the rocks. He calmed down and thought about it, squatted down and began to study the reef of more than 200 square meters inch by inch.
Through observation, he found that the highest "peak" of the reef was not directly connected to the base, and a tortuous gap separated the top of the "peak" from the rock base below. He stared at the small "peak" for a while, and for fear of startling the snake, he did not dare to take it off and look inside.
