The number of people is more than 10,000, and it is vast.

This clearance team is mainly composed of members of the garrison and the high-ranking members of the Black Street forces.

They quickly packed up the loot "bursting" from the petrified dragon beast and processed it centrally.

After a short rest, Chen Xuan rode the griffin into the air again.

As the intensity of combat increased, the M2 heavy machine gun became more and more out of step with the form.

For example, 37mm anti-aircraft guns have ammunition supply restrictions.

After all, it was a traditional anti-aircraft gun, which was usually fed with bullet plates.

Each cartridge has only five rounds of ammunition, and the magazine can be filled with two cartridges at the same time, for a total capacity of 10 rounds.

If a feed funnel is installed, it is possible to achieve continuous ammunition supply of multiple bomb plates.

But at best, it can only shoot a few dozen rounds in a row.

After all, this thing has long been out of the category of firearms, and it is an out-and-out small cannon.

Therefore, I wanted a weapon that was powerful and could ensure the rate of fire.

Either rapid-fire guns on ships of the Navy can be considered, or a close-in weapon system similar to the Land Shield 2000.

For example, the PJ26 76 mm naval gun has a rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute, a drum that can store 152 rounds of ammunition, and a long range, with a maximum range of 17 kilometers and a maximum height of 11 kilometers, and a high muzzle velocity of 980 meters per second.

The shooting accuracy is high, the actual dispersion range of the projectile is small, and the overall performance is good.

As for the power, not to mention the power, it can cause great damage to small and medium-sized warships.

But this thing is not lightweight, the traditional version of the 76 naval gun weighs 11 tons.

Even the lightweight version, which has been improved since then, weighs 9 tons.

In practice, it also relies on a water cooling system to continuously cool the gun body.

The power was enough to meet Chen Xuan's needs, but the size was too large to be used as a single weapon.

In the future, we can consider getting dozens of sets to be placed on the tower as a fixed gun point.

It is a good alternative to the inefficient City Crossbow.

The Land Shield 2000's weapon system is also large compared to the tiny size of a human entity.

The system uses an 8×8 off-road truck as the chassis.

In the rear of the truck is mounted 1 remote-controlled rotating turret with 7-barreled 30-mm anti-aircraft guns.

The gun had two ammunition boxes, each containing 500 rounds of armor-piercing shells and 500 rounds of high-explosive shells.

A wide-band tracking radar and a day/night sighting system with a laser rangefinder are installed above.

The rate of fire is 4000 rounds / min, and the maximum range is 3000 meters, but the target destruction distance is generally about 1000~1500 meters.

In addition, there is a combination of artillery and Ludun 2000 modifications, and one 3-pack anti-aircraft missile launch box is installed on each side of the turret at the rear of the car.

This is the surface-to-air version of the Tianyan-90 air-to-air missile.

When the projectiles and artillery are combined, the new weapon system constitutes overlapping interception firepower, which greatly improves the damage efficiency and can intercept incoming high-speed targets very effectively.

This short-range air defense weapon system is mainly used for the defense of strategic targets such as airfields, command posts and logistics centers.

It is part of a multi-layered air defense system that destroys cruise missiles, air-to-surface missiles, helicopters and other small targets from the air at close range, as well as exposed living targets and enemy fire points.

A command vehicle with a surveillance radar will provide it with target information, and one command vehicle can control 3~6 "Land Shield" 2000 short-range air defense weapons.

When the air defense company has 6 short-range anti-aircraft weapons of the Land Shield 2000 type, 3 are used to intercept targets, and the other 3 can be transferred to new positions.

Its power was more than enough for Chen Xuan.

But the problem is that it can't be lightweighted.

The 30-mm 7-barreled anti-aircraft gun was bloated and bulky.

Weight or anything to say for the time being, after all, Chen Xuan has extraordinary physical quality.

But volume is an issue that cannot be ignored.

Take, for example, the GAU-8 7-barreled Gatling cannon equipped with the A10 Warthog attack aircraft.

Its length from the muzzle to the tail end of the ammunition system is 5.931 meters, and the entire cannon system weighs about 1.8 tons.

When removed, it is slightly longer than a Maybach S600.

If you really fight with this thing, it will feel like a small horse-drawn cart.

While Chen Xuan was thinking about what to buy from Blue Star next.

The team has already made their way towards the Misty Canyon.

The black-gray rock base has a smooth and solid surface.

Go deep into the canyon and no monsters appear.

It seems that the hundreds of petrified drakes should be the "guards" of this place.

In order to use the Gray Flash Altar to surprise the Baron's Castle, Ansetus basically mobilized most of the scattered monsters on the periphery, and after piecing together, he stuffed it over.

This leaves the outer caverns and ruins very void in their defenses.

I think the situation encountered by the other three patrol teams is similar.

The resistance should be lower than on the Misty Canyon side.

After all, those hundreds of petrified drakes weren't vegetarians either.

The team did not all enter the canyon.

In case there are insidious traps within it.

The entire clearance team was divided into 4,000 people, and they advanced according to a gradient of 100 meters apart from the front, middle and rear.

Wind casters follow in the middle of the queue, taking turns casting gusts as the front advances.

In order to dispel the dense silk cloth-like fog.

Once inside the canyon, the fog becomes thicker.

Moreover, the fog here has a certain effect of shielding and super-sensitive.

The enhanced perception is difficult to play its due role in the face of dense fog.

Chen Xuan himself rode a griffin, wore a Kevlar helmet equipped with tactical goggles and a monocular night vision module on his head, and held the ARI XL19 Jungle Edition infrared thermal imager in his hand.

At an altitude of about 100 meters above the ground, I took a closer look at the canyon below.

This thermal imaging can capture large targets at a range of up to 300 meters.

Excluding the interference factors caused by dense fog, the range of 100 meters is relatively accurate.

There are both warm-blooded and cold-blooded monsters.

And monsters with blood like searing slime.

Therefore, thermal imaging may not be able to do a comprehensive investigation.

However, it can be used as a backup means of observation.

From time to time, Chen Xuan would throw TNT detonators with a charge of no more than 100 grams into the dense fog area.

The explosion caused by such a detonator can dispel the fog in a small area, opening up a temporary field of vision.

without causing a landslide.

It is possible to further prevent possible ambushes in the fog.

The rock walls in the canyon are much stronger than everyone thinks.

As Chen Xuan had guessed before, this canyon was simply formed by a gap after the mountain was split.

This situation even reminded him of the picture of the classic cartoon gourd baby in Blue Star.

The way the gourd mountain cracked apart was similar to the Misty Canyon.

Typical topographic changes caused by external forces.

It's just that it can split the mountain and create a canyon.

This kind of power still made Chen Xuan feel sincerely amazed.

You must know that the depth of this canyon is twenty or thirty kilometers, and it almost penetrates the first half of the mountain.

It's like a passage that opens out abruptly.

The Misty Mountain, where the canyon is located, is not a small hill that is commonly seen, but a continuous mountain range that stretches to the north.

From the air, you can faintly see the extension and direction of the mountain.

The highest peak as far as the eye can see is also hidden in the clouds, and the relative height from the peak to the ground is estimated to be only three or four thousand meters, of course, this is only an estimate, and the error must be very large.

And Chen Xuan didn't know the sea level data of the Naroa World, after all, this was a super giant world.

In short, it's not just canyons that are famous.

This misty mountain range also has many secrets.

The dark gold mine that the Dark Dragon had given to Ansetus was somewhere in the mountains.

It cannot be ruled out that there are more abundant precious mineral deposits here.

Before leaving, Chen Xuan specially told Angela Lauder to go to the library to inquire about the "Magtan Geography" and "Bangcheng Chronicle".

Strive to find hundreds of records from the previous Naroa.

It's best to stay close to the information from the time the Dark Dragon was banned.

In this way, it may be possible to find the cause and effect of the appearance of this strange land in the Misty Mountains.

Things have developed to this point, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the origin of this place is not simple.

Not to mention the relict caves that exist in the depths of the canyon.

It's just that the ban of the Black Magic Dragon was full of suspicions from beginning to end.

What kind of divine can suppress the black magic dragon Belle in its heyday?

As a proud commander under the command of the Black Flame Demon Lord.

At the peak, the strength of Baile was definitely at the level of the sixth order.

This level is enough to allow it to crisscross the giant city, but it has fallen into the sand in this small place.

To say that there is no secret in it is not believed by anyone.

Therefore, for the action of exploring the Misty Canyon, Chen Xuan also gave twelve points of attention.

However, the road ahead has been surprisingly smooth.

The canyon was exceptionally quiet, and everyone went several kilometers deep without being attacked.

Instead, traces of monster activity were found on the rock walls along the way.

These include shedding scales, skin, claws, and a small amount of ghostly blood graffiti.

Meaningless symbols and lines have been examined by Insight, and there is no hidden information.

It's a complete portrayal of the chaos in the hearts of those crazy monsters.

It wasn't until they went deeper into the canyon for more than ten kilometers that they finally arrived at their destination.

This is where the ritual cave is located.

Six raised stone platforms can be seen not far away.

Two stone platforms are on the ground, and two are on the side rock walls, one on the left and one on the right.

As for the last two stone platforms, they are just above the canyon.

Each stone platform looked as if it had been poured up, and a black chain as thick as a human body was attached to it.

The thick chains had broken and were now coiled together crookedly.

Dense traces of runes can be faintly seen on the surface of the chain.

Needless to say, this is where the dragon is imprisoned!

And behind these stone platforms.

On the right side of the rock wall is a pitch-black entrance to the cave.

The entrance to this cave is about forty meters high and occupies almost half of the small rock wall.

Through the phantom shadows of those ceremonial pillars of light, it can be determined that under this cave is the location of the ruins cave.

It was when Ansetus strayed into this place that he embarked on a road of no return.

Comparing the overall trend of the canyon, the location here is exactly in the middle of the canyon.

On both sides, you can see the steep peaks that have been cut open.

The originally intact mountain peak was split in two, and the slightly skewed half-front looked angular.

There is also a bit of an unreal feeling.

It is difficult to eliminate the abruptness of causing undesirable changes in the natural terrain with extraordinary power.

The tips of the two half-peaks are outward-eight, and the shadows that connect obscure most of the canyon.

It makes the already dark environment even more gloomy.

The passage in the canyon is obviously not narrow, but it makes everyone feel an inexplicable crampedness and urgency.

The environment here is not complicated, and the scouts at the forefront quickly find out the truth and the false.

Chen Xuan also let the griffin fall.

It's just that he didn't go to the entrance of the cave in the first place.

Instead, he came to the stone platforms and stared at the thick black iron chains.

After the plug-in ability [Insight] is activated, lines of subtitles will immediately appear.

[The chain forged from the iron of the Outer Greyfall has been blurred by the erosion of time, and the effect of the ban has been lost]

[Through a special forging process, the Ashfall Iron can be melted, and the Demon Sealing Rune can be re-inscribed, and it can be made into a Demon Sealing Weapon]

……

These two lines of information explain the origin of the Chains of Ban.

What made Chen Xuan curious was the material of Gray Meteor Iron.

When doubts arise in his mind, the feedback given by [Insight] is also refreshed.

[Gray Fall Iron: Derived from the demonic metal that fell from the Gray Demon Moon, it can suppress the magic of chaos after inscribed with special runes]

……

After many enhancements, the [Insight] can be used to give different emphasis to information according to his mind.

It's really sweet.

An antidote is often present next to the poison.

As one of the sources of monsters, the gray demon moon, the metal that fell from it can actually play a role in suppressing the magic of chaos, which is somewhat interesting.

These chains can be recycled and reforged.

It's just that the casting method is quite exquisite, and it is still necessary to find clues.

The mysterious boss who banned the demon dragon back then must have mastered the method of melting and forging the iron of the Gray Fall.

After Chen Xuan checked the origin of the chain, he walked to one of the stone platforms to take a look at the situation.

The stone platform still retains its altar-like shape.

It's just that the inscriptions that once existed on the surface are severely worn.

There are also criss-crossing cracks distributed in between.

Chen Xuan walked around and found an eagle-shaped mark on the corner.

The [Insight] feedback that followed quickly made him understand something.

[Mark of the Hawkish Witcher: From the mark left by the Hawk Witcher, proving its origin and belonging]

[Hawkish Demon Sealing Altar: A forbidden altar created by the hawkish demon hunting technique, which is characterized by long-term continuous suppression, and at the same time absorbs the vitality of the forbidden target and transforms it into a seed of life]

……

The information is not too complicated, but the amount of information contained is huge.

"Witcher?"

"What kind of force is this?"

Chen Xuan had never heard of this kind of force, or the level was too high for him to reach.

Either it's more secretive and not known to ordinary people.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the Demon Hunter forces belong to an ancient force that was active hundreds of years ago, and now it is already in decline.

The details will have to be investigated.

But as long as you know the name, then it is equivalent to having the direction of the investigation!
