Lang Tianya circled along the perimeter of the forbidden area in the air, and the speed was not too fast. His main purpose was to scout the terrain and choose a good spot for the Neverlanders' experiments in a few days. At the same time, he also learned about the situation of the two sides in the penalty area.

He estimated that the entire exclusion zone is about 200,000 square kilometers and covers part of Alaska's territory within the Arctic Circle. There are many peaks here, snow-capped terrain is very complex. To the north, it goes straight across the frozen zone to the sea, which makes it impossible for large mechanical ships to enter the restricted area directly by sea, unless you're using an old-fashioned sailboat or a steamboat with no electronics. Moreover, the so-called forbidden area is not a well-defined concept, and the boundaries of the forbidden area often change as the Soul Eaters move.

The space in the forbidden area is filled with rich talismanic power, and it soars into the sky. Lang Tianya suspected that this talisman might reach as far as the edge of the atmosphere, because he had heard that as long as it was a flying machine using electronic equipment, no matter how high it flew it was, it would not be able to detect the situation inside the forbidden area. Even the pictures taken by reconnaissance satellites in outer space are blurry, and it is impossible to see the truth inside.

Lang Tianya came to the scene today and personally felt the runes in the forbidden area, and found that it was actually composed of a variety of runes, which was very complicated.

The first is that it contains a kind of magic that can change light. Because he found that the light in the penalty area was indeed slightly distorted. It is not visible within a few kilometers, but if you look tens of kilometers or hundreds of kilometers away, it is obvious. If it is from a satellite hundreds of kilometers away from space, you will definitely not see the true face of the ground.

There are two ways that Lang Tianya knows to distort light with manic power. One is the power of the farsighted charm. The farsightedness character is a temporary change in the concentration of air in front of the eye to change the direction of light. The second is the power of the hand, which can distort space. For example, the power of the rune of the escape talisman. When the charm emits mana to contract or expand an object, it distorts the space, as well as the nearby light.

Others may not be able to feel it, but Lang Tianya has become very familiar and sensitive to spatial changes through two crossings and the use of spatial floors. He felt it carefully, and could vaguely feel a slight distortion in the space in the restricted area. Therefore, this kind of rune that can distort light should not be a local compressed air like a farsighted rune, but a space that is distorted like a rune. Therefore, he guessed that in the center of the forbidden area, there was probably a powerful device similar to a large rune device, which was continuously firing rune power in all directions, so that it would have such a vast and lofty impact. He didn't dare to rush into the center of the forbidden area to investigate, and it was difficult to say what would happen there.

In addition to the rune power in the forbidden area, there are two kinds of rune power: the power to control nuclear energy and the power to control electromagnetic force. These two kinds of runes were not as even, smooth, and continuous as the escape runes, and he guessed that these two kinds of runes were cast independently by the individual soul eaters, and the manic powers cast by many individuals were intertwined, forming a huge mana pot lid, enveloping the entire forbidden area. The movement of the Soul Eaters will change the range of effectiveness of these two runes, which is also the reason why the boundaries of the forbidden area are constantly changing.

He could detect that there should be more than these three kinds of manic power in the forbidden area, but the other kinds of manic power were very weak, and it was difficult for him to grasp such a subtle feeling. Since introducing liquid crystals into his dark realm, his understanding of the relationship between runes and aura has taken another level. He guessed that all the aura particles actually had their own runes. Moreover, different aura particles will produce different runes. However, the mana emitted by the aura particles in nature is too weak, and all kinds of aura particles are mixed together, and the mana emitted by them cancels each other out and mixes, no matter how keen you feel, it is difficult for you to distinguish these talismanas in this chaos. Only when many particles of the same kind, or several types of particles with similar powers, act together, such as when they are accelerated by the program, will they produce greater power. Only this level of talisman power can be felt by humans.

The addition of liquid crystals made the feeling of the dark domain of Lang Tianya more delicate and deepened, but it was far from the level of being able to distinguish the power emitted by the naturally flowing aura particles in nature. For example, Lang Tianya's current feeling of the aura of nature is like the feeling of the water of the Yellow River when he swims in the Yellow River. He could see all sorts of sediment in the yellow, turbid water, but it was impossible for him to distinguish the type and internal structure of the sediment by the touch of his body and skin.

The subtle talismans that filled the forbidden area space should be richer than the talismans emitted by the natural aura, and he could only distinguish their unnatural attributes, but they were that kind of talismans, what functions they had, and what effects they played, he couldn't tell them for a while.

The human defense line in the restricted area is mainly stationed in the densely populated area and the separation zone of the restricted area. In other uninhabited areas, there is no need for a dedicated defense line because Soul Eaters are also rare. The U.S. military has set up numerous surveillance probes on the periphery of the restricted areas in these areas, which, combined with satellite imagery, can well monitor these areas. The military has set up an observation post at intervals in the surveillance area, and a company-sized emergency defense unit at every five observation posts. It is said that behind this line of defense, there are several mysterious special forces with a strength of more than 2,000 people stationed in case of any major anomalies. Lang Tianya ran down the line in the restricted area, so he didn't see the camp of this mysterious force.

It stands to reason that with the running ability of the Soul Eaters, it would not be difficult to break out of the no-man's land and into the towns where humans gathered, but they did not do so. This tacit understanding between the two sides did not make Lang Tianya breathe a sigh of relief, but made him more vigilant. Combined with the several kinds of runes in the forbidden area that he couldn't identify, he guessed that the Soul Eaters should be communicating and managing through the runes, which showed that their actions were organized and purposeful.

He initially chose the site for the experiment on a huge ice sheet on the northern coast of the Arctic Circle. There are no people, no flora or fauna, and it's a great place to experiment. The closest thing to this place is that there are scattered soul eaters, and the place where they appear is also more than thirty kilometers away. He felt that this place was very good, even without his garrison, with the ability of those martial artists on Neverland, he could also ensure the safety of the experimenters. Of course, the people of Neverland will definitely ask him to be stationed during the experiment, after all, no one is sure if the Soul Eater will smell human and find this place next.

Lang Tianya tried it as soon as he entered the forbidden area, and knew that he could enter the game here. That's when he uses the gaming earbuds to connect with Ryan. Because he is now in the restricted area and cannot use electronic devices that can be located, he can't accurately tell the other party the location of this place, so he can only introduce the situation of this place first, and then tell the other party the general direction. He promised that when the other party's experimenters arrived nearby, he would personally come over to lead the way.

After finishing the business, Lang Tianya began to rush back. He ran down this lap, and saw the Soul Eater on the ground from the air many times, and this Soul Eater looked no different from Gu Bao. It's just that none of them are as big as Gubao. The general ones are two or three hundred kilograms, and the big ones can be four hundred kilograms. But now he guessed that Gubao was at least seven or eight hundred kilograms. Significantly larger than the "little guys" in these restricted areas. He didn't know if it was because of the breed or because of the environment in which he was raised.

He didn't kill a monster this time. It's not that he doesn't want to kill, it's that he can't. Because Guo Songshan had warned him a long time ago not to easily attack the Soul Eater in a non-war zone. There are two reasons for this. One reason for this is that casual attacks can trigger retaliatory cross-border attacks by Soul Eaters in the area, expanding the battlefield and increasing the burden of defense. The second reason is that the realm of Lang Tianya is too high, and once his skills are revealed, it may lead to an escalation of the situation. According to Daoist Zhang Sanfeng, the initiative is not in our hands now, but the Soul Eater is relying on a much more powerful force than humans to control the development of the situation. Once our experts make a move, the Soul Eaters will misjudge the level of human force and think that the humans have grown, and they will send stronger Soul Eaters to attack, and the defenders may be in trouble.

Seeing that there were still four or five kilometers to the camp, Lang Tianya fell back to the ground from the sky and stopped on a road leading from the camp to the outside of the forbidden area, ready to run back to the camp along it. He didn't want to be too shocked, and when he came over with Yu Qianhua and Kaga Yuichi yesterday, he also fell to the nearby camp first, and everyone ran into the camp together.

It was now more than three o'clock in the morning, and because of the distortion of the light by the forbidden area rune, the starlight in the sky was in a blurred state, as if separated by a layer of frosted glass, and it was impossible to distinguish a single star. However, the intensity of the starlight has not been diminished, and the visibility is quite good because there is no air pollution in the area. He saw a faint light coming from the south along the road, accompanied by the sound of a rumbling diesel steamer.

Yesterday, Lang Tianya saw two such steam cars parked in the camp, and I heard from the people in the camp that this is a kind of vehicle that uses diesel as fuel, uses steam engines, and is purely mechanically driven, and does not have any electrical equipment in the whole car, even if it is a headlight, it is an open flame gas lamp.

So he stood on the side of the road and waited for the convoy in the distance to come by. As the combined sound of numerous steam engines and mechanical transmissions grew louder and louder, the first car of the convoy drove close to the end of the day. Lang Tianya looked behind him and found that the convoy consisted of a total of five vehicles. He didn't want the convoy to stop for him, so he ran straight after the lead car. A bearded driver rolled down the window and poked his head out of the car and shouted in English, "Hey! Chinese? ”

These ordinary drivers are accustomed to seeing them as martial artists who only wear single clothes in the ice and snow, and they have long been surprised. The driver saw him alone on the side of the road and thought he was a camp man who had come to greet him.

"Yes." Lang Tianya also replied in English. Recently, in addition to Japanese, Lang Tianya has also been learning to speak English.

"Those of yours get in the back, get in the car!" The driver said, shaking his head at the back of the car, and then rolled the window shut. Lang Tianya let go of the front of the car and came to the rear of the car, at this time, the thick curtain at the back of the car was opened a gap, and a familiar face was revealed.

That was Wang Xingang's face.
