Time flies and another six months have passed, and Demon Realm Gate No. 4 has swallowed up the temporary gate stage again without any surprise.
It is almost a routine practice to send an official document in advance to inform the exchange students that the time to return home will be postponed, and then take enough time every day to go to the staff headquarters to wait for the summary of the news.
Gate No. 4 is located slightly north of the west, has a longer mileage, and has entered the original deep sea range, which causes great trouble for reconnaissance.
The situation in the deep-sea plate is different from both the land and shallow-sea areas.
Affected by the original deep-sea pressure, deep-sea plates can be divided into three types: hard, porous and high-temperature.
Hard plates are plates with room-temperature rock layers when they leave the sea. They are not many in number and small in size. Their floating height is generally about two thousand meters lower than that of conventional land plates.
Porous plates belong to the general high-temperature zone and exhibit phenomena such as hot springs when they are on the seabed. They are affected by hundreds of atmospheric pressures when they are underwater, and the water body can maintain a non-boiling state at hundreds of degrees Celsius. As the pressure drops during the process of leaving seawater, the degree of vaporization of the water increases, and a sponge-like structure is formed on its surface.
Although most porous plates have cooled at this stage, the terrain of such plates is still very dangerous for human activities, and it is almost impossible to build permanent buildings.
I shouldn’t say much about the high-temperature plate, but it should contain the biggest secret of plate levitation.
From the perspective of laboratory research, the force of plate levitation comes from some quasi-crystals formed by the long-term influence of high concentrations of magic. They act like natural magic arrays to support the floating islands.
However, the shapes of high-temperature plates are different. When they float, they are all spherical or ellipsoid-shaped, with magma skin on the surface and a certain degree of fluidity.
The kingdom has very little knowledge of the high temperature plates. They start very low and remain under the steam cloud before the magic pulse accompanying the temporary door appears. They have only been seen in recent years. At present, due to the relationship between distance and site temperature, no field research has been carried out.
The existence of the high-temperature plate means that the weightless force experienced by the floating island is not entirely caused by magic corroding the material, but also other things.
Back to the military level, the location of Gate 4 is very bad. It is 1,500 kilometers away from the airport in the eastern part of the Phoenix Plate, which is a very extreme value.
For airplanes, the faster they go, the greater the resistance, which requires greater force throughout the entire process, and the energy consumption is high. Every 30% increase in the average speed will double the energy consumption.
The current reconnaissance aircraft is a reconnaissance modification of the Tornado 3. It has undergone certain design adjustments to adapt to the new engine, and the total range has been reduced to 2,600 kilometers.
With a radius of 1,500 kilometers, high-speed cruising cannot make a round trip. Even if the conformal fuel tank is added, the increase in the total range is not large enough. The speed must be lowered to ensure a certain on-site dwell time and a certain amount of emergency fuel.
But even if this is done, the on-site investigation time for Gate 4 can only barely reach 20 minutes. Some important circumstances allow the on-site stay to be increased to 30 minutes, but no more can be added, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure safety on the way home.
In this state, the military's exploration of Gate 4 progressed very slowly. It took about half a month and about 200 sorties to figure out that Gate 4 corresponds to the circle of the demon world and belongs to the influence of Lord Huangquan.
The monarch of the Shenyun Dynasty is called the Ghost Demon King in the main world, and the God-killing King in the demon world. No one knows his real name.
Lord Huang Quan is far away from the military demon clan's cognitive range and is not clear about the specific situation.
If the God-Slaying Lord is still considered a faction of order, the territory of Lord Huangquan is considered a chaotic faction. The latter does not directly lead the demons in the territory, nor does it provide them with protection. It is completely used as a Gu field. If in this area If you grow to the level of a high-level demon, congratulations, you will soon be selected by the Underworld Demon Lord and become a puppet.
Because of this ruling state, the community under the leadership of the Lord of Underworld is also very unique. There are basically no highly intelligent communities such as giants, demons, enchantresses, etc. At the same time, the Demon Lord of Underworld does not like dog-shaped people. Over hundreds of thousands of years, there are Dragon-shaped and lizard-footed creatures are the main ones, so their origin can still be determined after comprehensive reconnaissance is completed.
In the following month, the military did not find even a single known highly intelligent demon near Gate 4. Instead, there were at least three dragon-shaped creatures.
The classification method of the demon world has a lot of historical background. Corresponding to the "dragon" in Qin language, there are two concepts that can be matched.
A type of "magic dragon" generally refers to various super life forms. They can often reach or even exceed the combat power of the seven rings of humanoid life forms as soon as they reach adulthood, and have a body shape that exceeds that of ordinary life forms. As long as they can meet these two standards at the same time, no matter what Whether it is a tentacle creature, an amorphous creature, or something else, it is called a dragon.
The concept of magic dragon is broad, but its meaning is very narrow, because a type of magic dragon is often just one independent individual, and there are rarely even two.
The second category is the dragon shape, which is more specific and is very close to the habits of the penal colony. In other words, the way the penal colony classifies them mainly comes from the demon side in the last Three Realms War.
Dragon-shaped creatures are divided into two branches: earth dragons and flying dragons. They also have three subcategories: four-legged, six-limbed, and eight-limbed.
In the floating island environment, earth dragons are a general threat, and only flying dragons are mentioned.
For example, the undead dragon with four legs and two wings is a typical six-limbed dragon-shaped species.
At Gate 4, one of the top demons in the underworld of Lord Huangquan appeared. His real name was very difficult to pronounce, and it would take about one-third of a page to write. The demons shortened it to Kusha Meilong, which means Destiny Devouring Dragon. , belongs to the eight-limbed category, with four legs and two pairs of wings.
Because of the Lord of the Underworld, the so-called Kusha Meilong is actually a low-intelligent species. Its ghosts are also consumables. Once they are injured when attacking food, their status will be immediately converted into food.
Based on the observations over the past month and the ranking of the demons that the kingdom has already mastered, Kusha Meilong's intelligence is slightly stronger than that of the little devil, but it is limited and cannot reach the level of Goma.
With this intelligence, in the concept of "the strongest group", it is stronger than the Ice Crown Ice Demon in Gate No. 2.
However, the Ice Crown Ice Devil is only relatively strong in the wild category of the Gate 2 ecosystem. Compared with the highly intelligent species that have been discovered several times and have moved across islands, it is still not particularly powerful.
Kusha Meilong is really strong. Even if all the highly intelligent species are brought together, it can be classified into the strongest group, which is higher than the average of giants.
The adult body of Kusha Meilong is naturally five-ringed. Judging from observation, the innate spell should be of the illusion system. It uses illusion to control the target, and then directly bites and eats it.
Its strongest ability is similar to the concept of "nurturing ghosts". The creatures that are completely swallowed by it will be born as it is from the egg after a period of time, becoming its provider and fighting for it, which is also its name. The origin of.
Everything has its two sides. Illusions, especially illusions that can reach the fifth level and above, most creatures cannot resist at all, and cannot learn additional types of mental protection magic. No matter how high the level is, they may be attacked.
But illusion is the worst magic for dealing with highly intelligent individuals and group operations. Because of the way illusion works, almost any type of magic shield can weaken its effect, and almost all magic shields with special mental protection spells can be ignored. In addition, any illusion is not immune to interference-type magic bans, and is completely ineffective magic on the battlefield.
It can be said that illusion mainly highlights the advantages of surprise and asymmetry, and the threat level is far less than that of destructive magic.
Regarding the Three Realms battlefield in the place of exile, Kusha Meilong was not completely useless.
The popularity of anti-magic equipment overseas is very limited. In this state, more than 99% of people cannot withstand Kusha Meilong's illusion. In addition, its size is not small. According to the analysis of its jumping and take-off posture, the weight is about two tons, and the body length from the tip of the tail is 9 to 9.5 meters. Although the overall density is not high and it is not fat enough, its size itself can provide a certain amount of physical strength. and magic protection, and its size is enough to ensure that it can bite an average-sized individual in one bite.
The comprehensive advantages of illusion, bite force, and size make it still a considerable threat with a certain number of blessings.
In order to prevent this kind of thing from spreading to the kingdom's external market, Wang Qi found the relevant departments and urgently approved a batch of old inventory of anti-magic devices that had been eliminated by the army and sent them to the northwest block of Wengji.
