After a night's rest, the team emerged from the ruins of the city and entered an area with abnormal terrain.

Except for those like Wang Qi who can directly observe energy changes in this ghostly place, it is difficult for ordinary exploration magic to distinguish the correct route due to the range.

The terrain anomaly area is a space where two worlds are superimposed. There are villages and towns that have been swallowed up by the main world, and there are also cities in exile.

In a place like this, a group of demons with insufficient brainpower can easily be separated for various reasons. There are very few demons remaining in the area during this period, and the scale of the battles they encounter is also small.

The penal colony is considered a barbaric place by the main world, but barbarism also has the benefits of barbarism. The basic abilities of most mixed-bloods are stronger than those of pure humans. Not counting the influence of professionals, they also guard the houses. A small team of mixed-race civilians can release Destroy large areas of low-level demons... provided that the house is not flammable.

In addition, the demons are obviously not very interested in the relatively poorer exile cities.

To sum up the above two points, the walls of the exile city that Wang Qi and other teams saw when moving in the abnormal terrain area were not even completely occupied.

The city is of average size. According to the direction of the main world, a piece is missing in the southeast corner. There are no building remains on the ground in the missing part. It should have been "bitten" by the abnormal terrain area.

Because the movement direction was not right, Wang Qi and his party could not see the situation inside the gap.

The group of them all appeared to be human beings. When passing through the city, someone on the city wall raised their head to pay attention.

...Actually, it's not really a salute. It's more likely that it's some idea.

Wang Qi asked the team to slow down a little and let Li want to use exploration magic.

Except for him, Li Xiang, and three members of the Self-Rescue Society, the rest of his team are purely human... The two women in Belanger's family may not be. As for those of them who are not pure humans, there is no particularly obvious appearance difference. Even if the "Beautiful Child" is removed, it will be difficult to win people's trust at a certain distance.

There is a serious conflict between humans in the main world and the penal colony. If you say a few words more, there may be a fight. Just take a look.

After getting some information, the team had no intention of wasting time in this area and did not enter the city at all. They identified the changes in the terrain and went around from the outside.

"What's your observation like?" Wang Qi and Li Xiang were talking on the bear.

Li Xiang nodded: "There are indeed many Weng Jifeng buildings in the city, which are tent-style."

People in the main world think that the mixed-race people in the exile are barbaric, but even barbarians can form regional customs and habits.

The so-called Wengji style buildings are actually architectural features formed by the influence of the environment. They fall into two broad categories, tent style and asymmetrical roof style.

Tent-style houses are mainly found in inland areas, including pastoral areas, but they are also found in settled cities outside pastoral areas. They are not necessarily real tents, but are very close to nomadic tents in form. They appear to have short walls and high roofs, and are very Make it less rectangular.

For an asymmetrical roof type, the projected length of the single-sided eaves facing the west coast exceeds 60% of the total length of the top surface, and there will also be a certain downward extension. This is a typical storm response strategy, and is used in areas facing the open sea in Ongixi. More.

In addition to the guys observing them on the city wall, more than half of them were kobolds, and some even held foreign trade magic rifles. We can draw a conclusion: the incident occurred very close to home.

The closest Wengji is to the Phoenix Kingdom is the pastoral area. In the pastoral area, there are only fixed markets with earthen city walls, but they cannot be called a city at all. The internal settled population is generally only a few hundred, one or two thousand at most. It can be regarded as a tribe, and the whole is very small. There is also a large amount of open space used for stalls on market days.

This city is relatively large in scale, and its clothing lacks the characteristics of the riverside area. It may be between the pastoral area and the Luna River area.

It’s hard to say exactly how far it is, but it’s roughly between 400 and 1,000 kilometers.

From Bai Xiaojiao's point of view, the closer the Wengji people are to the Phoenix Kingdom, the greater the chance of recognizing Bai Xiaojiao through their armor with the help of information such as businessmen's rumors. The people on the city wall just now did not ask questions, so they can prove the distance from the side. It won't be too close, it may be between the long Wengji interruption and the inland sea area.

The situation is not bad, at least not in Fatal. The partition of Ongji is serious. As long as military planes fly over its airspace but do not reach the capital area, it is not easy to cause diplomatic disputes.

Of course, from the perspective of the demons, if the door really opens in Fatel, they must at least open a way out in Wengji. At this time, they may have just reached the door.

Keep moving.

Perhaps because the World Gate took a long time to form, the way out was much longer than the way in. From the time of departure, the team moved for more than three hours at an average speed of about 12 to 15 kilometers per hour before encountering it. The second Wengji City was finally detoured after five hours.

The sign remains the sudden displacement of the sun.

The sunlight in the penal colony is relatively high, and the people in the main world accompanying us are not used to it, so they can't open their eyes when they squint.

"Have a rest, we still have some way to go."

Although the sun's position has changed, it has not gone out of the terrain abnormality range. It is too dangerous to perform an airborne mission here.

"Is this a place of exile? It's no different." Someone said with a guilty conscience.

The penal colony can be inhabited, and the topography cannot deviate from the norm. The most important thing is that the appearance of the residents here is slightly different from that of humans.

Wang Qi ignored them. Everyone got something to eat for the horses and themselves, and continued to move after a while.

Judging that the location was Wengji, and using the sun in the exile as a reference, the team generally moved in the northeast direction, except for those that avoided some abnormal energy that might send them back to the main world.

After continuing to move for about two hours, the surrounding abnormal energy no longer has sufficient concentration, and the atmosphere is colored back to normal levels.

The terrain became normal, but the scene shocked the people accompanying them.

There are bones everywhere outside, and most of them belong to little devils and wild dogs. There is no meat on them, so they were naturally eaten alive.

Wang Qi led everyone to find a place where the bones were slightly denser, checked, and confirmed that they were broken by his own fighter plane, and began to make arrangements for returning home.

In fact, it is sending a signal.

This is a lighthouse module used by platoon-level units. The total weight of the unit is thirty kilograms. It is also the heaviest single item on this trip except armor.

The effect of the deployment is to form two magic light nodes at 500 meters and 2000 meters above the sky.

Like a lighthouse, in order to obtain the farthest penetrating visual effect, it has a focusing direction and will rotate, producing a strobe in a single direction about once every 5 seconds. Even with amblyopia, it can be seen dozens of kilometers away, let alone at night. A tribal pilot.

The reason why two heights are set is to directly specify the ground position. The pilot does not need to get close to confirm, but can calculate the accurate coordinates from a distance by comparing the ground background displacement.

Its basic function is not as heavy as 30 kilograms, and the weight is mainly used for protection. It can activate a magic shield with a radius of 12 meters for energy-based spells at the same time, and can also prevent ground thorns from forming within the range, which requires a lot of magic support.

The area of ​​​​the magic shield is not small, but for the current number of people and horses, it is not enough.

The student quickly noticed something was wrong with the magic shield and asked, "Teacher, is this magic shield damaged?"

Wang Qi nodded: "On purpose, this is a shield for combat troops. When it is used, soldiers usually squat or lie down. The protection range is large and it wastes magic power."

"A magic shield specially designed for combat troops? How awesome!"

"Crouching and lying positions, only musketeers can use them. What about the others?"
