Chapter 243 The Three-Tailed Comet Descends! The Ecosystem in the Forbidden Zone of an Ancient Civilization (Please Subscribe)

It is located near the edge of the forbidden zone of the ancient giant civilization.

The drone, emitting a monotonous hum, carried the offshore relay data collection platform back along the edge of the restricted area.

Strangely enough, away from the forbidden zones of ancient civilizations, storms become extremely large, and electromagnetic interference is relatively low.

However, if some deployments are made along this arc, many fluctuations will be reduced significantly.

This oval-shaped area is considered the security zone for electronic devices.

The information network established here can better transmit video messages.

For this reason, the pioneering team deployed combat troops in the north and south, close to the ancient civilization relics, to ensure the safe evacuation of researchers in case of an accident!

Zhao, who was on guard duty, leaned against the cold rock, took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it with his hand, and took a deep drag.

Before he could even exhale the smoke, a hand was already outstretched in front of him.

"Captain, give me a root."

It was Xiao Zhou. He had already put his service pistol, which had been serviced again, back into its quick-draw holster on his chest, his eyes filled with a sense of idleness.

Zhao tossed the cigarette pack over: "Have you notified everyone?"

Xiao Zhou quickly nodded, squatted down next to him, and gazed at the gray sea in the distance, muttering, "Yeah, we notified everyone. That was our last probe here! But I don't see any storm here?"

"Yes, we've retrieved that device, so our mission for this phase is complete!" Zhao exhaled a smoke ring. "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's dozens of kilometers away. If the wind is blowing from the north, you'll see it!"

The circular forbidden zone, with a diameter of eighty kilometers, spanning the frozen continent of the far north and the Devil's Sea, is enormous for humankind.

The Ice River Base is mainly located in the south, and the main detectors are also deployed in the south. The areas further north also need to be explored. Here, Zhao Zhongdui and his team are leading soldiers to assist the combined arms forces in protection.

However, compared to the madness and bloodshed of the main battlefield in the Devil's Sea, this area appeared extremely calm.

Not many of the probes and other devices deployed by humans were destroyed.

It's probably because the further north you go, the colder the weather gets and the fewer animals there are.

Of course, it could also be because the entrances and exits to the Devil's Sea and the restricted area on the coast are close to the southern Devil's Sea.

Xiao Zhou sat down, but feeling unsatisfied, he lay back lazily. "I should have gone on a mission to the south. This mission of ours is really boring. We didn't even get to fire a gun, and we only touched a few cannons. I've almost forgotten what a trigger looks like."

"You've only been away from target practice for a little over ten hours, and you're already like this? Peace—isn't that good?" Zhao exhaled a smoke ring, the smoke instantly dispersed by the biting sea breeze.

"It's good, but—" Xiao Zhou scratched his head and chuckled, "It doesn't feel right, I feel like my whole body is about to grow hair."

Zhao glanced at him sideways and said nothing more.

This young man, Zhou, talks about peace, but inside he's like a cat scratching at his heart.

He also knew that peace was good, but they were warriors, and the fighting spirit was ingrained in their very bones.

Being stuck in this godforsaken place, staring longingly at the ruins every day, hoping that any potential enemies might emerge from within, is truly agonizing.

His gaze then drifted to the side, to the ocean known as the Devil's Sea, his thoughts wandering as he pondered when the command center could give them a more exciting mission.

Just then, a thick, inky cloud descended without warning from where the sea met the sky.

The dark clouds were moving incredibly fast, as if a huge black cloth had been suddenly unfurled, threatening to cover the entire world.

"What is that?" Zhao suddenly stood up, his previous lazy posture vanishing instantly, leaving only the tension unique to a soldier.

"Captain, the weather's about to change!"

Xiao Zhou also threw away his cigarette butt, his face more serious than ever before.

"All personnel on high alert!" Zhao shouted, his voice booming. "Notify Ice River Base and the rear that the anomaly in the Devil's Sea is coming! This awful weather... hopefully the exploration team in the south can finish their mission ahead of schedule."

The Devil's Sea in this other world is plagued by four major disasters.

Strong electromagnetic interference can cause problems for even the most sophisticated electronic devices when they are too far away.

In high-altitude no-fly zones, once an aircraft exceeds a certain area, all sorts of strange problems will occur. To date, human-made aircraft have only reached an altitude of 7000 meters before disintegrating due to some strange issues that are not problems on Earth.

Then there's this kind of terrifying storm right now, which can appear out of nowhere and overturn thousands of tons in the ocean.

The most troublesome thing is what comes with the storm.

When a storm typically strikes, endless sea monsters emerge from the deep sea and wreak havoc.

Although there are relatively few sea monsters on the edge of the northern forbidden land, and the people of the Ice River tribe rely on fishing and hunting to survive, all necessary preparations must be made.

By now, the scientists on the expedition team have reached a basic consensus that the first two disasters were most likely caused by certain technological devices.

For example, the sealing system left behind by the ruins of ancient civilizations that were once destroyed, to prevent all sorts of miscellaneous things from entering the area.

The suspicion is that the restricted area is actually the most dangerous prison.

The latter two are purely nature—or rather, the strangest and most primal malice in the world.

There are too many mysteries surrounding this place; all that can be said is that it is a place that urgently needs to be explored.

While quickly checking his weapons, communication systems, and protective systems, Xiao Zhou grinned and said, "Captain, do you think we'll get a chance to fire today? The people in command center say the sea monster to the south is acting quite wildly!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get your act together!" Zhao patted Xiao Zhou's helmet, making a crisp "bang" sound. "Be careful of the threats inside the storm, and also be careful of the threats on the edge of the restricted area! Stop being so carefree!"

"Captain, I was adjusting my mindset then!" Xiao Zhou was a veteran with a wealth of war experience.

In the beginning, he was just like a green recruit, doing everything very seriously and getting nervous at the slightest disturbance.

But over time, he developed courage.

ZW also mentioned that maintaining a high state of alert for extended periods can easily lead to mental breakdowns. Therefore, unless it's a very serious combat report, everyone should try to stay somewhat lively, as this will help maintain a better mindset.

Xiao Zhou loosened his protective helmet and looked up at the sky over the Devil's Sea.

At this moment, the dark clouds had completely swallowed the light of day, plunging the world into darkness. The wind whipped up the rain, and the creatures in the ocean seemed to become agitated!

"This storm seems a bit heavy!"

His question remained unanswered, because suddenly something new appeared in the sky!

Xiao Zhou was hoping that some big creature would jump out of the sea so he could have a go at it, but instead of a sea monster, something unusual happened in the sky.

At first, it was probably a special kind of light.

The light was so bright that it seemed to illuminate the entire world.

Xiao Zhou subconsciously looked up and saw three eerie streaks of light pierce through the dark sky, which had been turned into a mess by the storm, trailing eerie crimson and pale green flames as they swept straight over their heads.

Judging from the direction, they're flying from north to south!

After seeing these things, Xiao Zhou felt that they weren't comets at all.

More like three pieces of debris forcibly torn from a celestial body, carrying with them the energy to incinerate everything, leaving behind three long trails of scorching smoke in the sky.

"Captain, what's that thing?" Xiao Zhou's Adam's apple bobbed. His hand, which had been about to fire, now instinctively gripped the weapon's safety. "Why is it a ghastly green?"

Zhao's brows furrowed into a knot, and his previously calm expression turned completely somber.

He stared intently at the three streaks of light that had disappeared into the distance, and when he saw the trails of smoke that seemed to slice through the sky, he sensed something strange.

He stared at them for a long time, until they were almost out of sight, before he looked away.

"They're just some comets and meteorites!"

Seeing Xiao Zhou's serious expression, even swallowing hard, he slapped Xiao Zhou's helmet with his backhand, making a dull thud.

"Stop overthinking it. Right now, even if knives fall from the sky, we need to keep a close eye on the sea and the restricted area! That's for the command center and the Academy of Sciences to worry about!"

"Oh—" Xiao Zhou rubbed his head dejectedly, responding verbally, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the southern sky again.

He always felt there was something strange about that place.

Zhao, who had just instructed everyone to continue focusing on the Devil's Sea and the restricted area, kept glancing up at the sky from time to time, even though he was telling everyone to carry out the mission.

"The comets in this world are acting strangely!"

He had a feeling that something was about to happen, but he didn't know what it was!

Meanwhile, more than 80 kilometers south of the Forbidden Zone, near the Devil's Sea.

The atmosphere here is much more tense and busier than on Zhao's side.

Armored vehicles transported some of the more exposed scientific equipment to the constructed reinforced concrete fortress, where there were air defense and defensive networks to ensure the safety of the reinforced concrete structure.

The soldiers of the combined arms brigade also put away their more sophisticated equipment.

The current exploration and equipment recovery mission is nearing its end.

Because the scientists' chaotic elimination game plan was so good, the combat departments no longer needed to drop various types of shells, reducing the loss of equipment on the return journey.

Right now, everyone's energy is focused on how to deal with this damn storm of wind, rain, and snow.

"Captain, look at the sky!"

Liu Heng from the Butcher Squadron was loading some surviving passive scientific instruments into the vehicle when he suddenly noticed something strange in the sky. He looked up and was immediately drawn to the unusual phenomenon.

"Hey, those three comets—the color of those things is weird!"

The butcher, who was smoking an unlit cigarette, lifted his eyelids upon hearing this, glanced at it, and immediately froze.

Suppressing his bewilderment and shock, he continued, "It's none of our business if something's wrong!"

The butcher spat out the unlit cigarette, picked up the communicator, and shouted, "Gentlemen, don't get distracted! Keep your eyes peeled! Look for any other equipment, and retrieve it as intact as possible! Our squadron is counting on these points to leave Zhao's squad behind!"

"Okay!"

The soldiers' spirits instantly lifted. What were those strange comets, those scenes that seemed to cleave the sky? Nothing beats the real rewards.

"Captain, won't that thing fall and cause an earthquake?"

Upon hearing this, a special forces soldier laughed nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've seen these things all the time when I was a kid. They're only a few dozen meters tall at most. They look scary, but once they fall down, the friction from the atmosphere will make them explode into the biggest firecracker in the sky. They might not even leave any ashes."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and the tense atmosphere eased considerably.

A few kilometers away, at the Glacier Base, in the command center.

In the frontline command center, more than a hundred people were gathered around a huge screen, watching the lights representing the underwater vehicle and the salvage unit struggle to move amidst the raging data stream.

The electromagnetic interference from the storm caused the signal to be intermittent, and every flicker tugged at everyone's heartstrings.

Until a strange light appeared in the sky.

"What is this?"

"Comets? Three comets side by side? Two big and one small. Although the light is strange, they don't look like spacecraft!"

"Strange celestial phenomenon, hurry up and get aviation and astronomers to analyze it."

"yes!"

A few minutes later————

"Commander, the scientists' preliminary analysis is in. Although the three comets are strange, they didn't fly towards us! The comets aren't very large, and they look like they'll pass by soon!"

The adjutant handed a briefing to Brigade Commander Fu.

The latter glanced at them a few times, and after confirming that these things would not land on the surface of the other world and have a drastic impact on the environment, and even less likely to descend upon the area under their control, he casually put them aside.

"That's quite unusual," Commander Fu said, picking up his enamel mug and blowing away the tea leaves floating on it. "Since the tea leaves aren't hitting our precious darlings, we can just keep an eye on the front lines!"

No sooner had he spoken than he was proven wrong.

The ease in the command center was interrupted by a magic energy monitor: "Report! Electromagnetic interference in the South District has increased by 100% instantly, and the magic energy index has reached an abnormal peak! It increased by 5% in the last 30 seconds."

Commander Fu froze, slamming the teacup he was holding onto the table, spilling tea, but he paid no heed. He stood up, his sharp, piercing eyes fixed on the inspector: "Where's the source? Have any unusual movements been observed from the sea monsters nearby?"

"Report! The peak has disappeared! It lasted for less than three seconds! The sea surface is calm!" The monitor's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

An eerie silence fell over the entire command center, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is there a problem with the comet's electromagnetic and magical fluctuations?"

"Has something happened?"

Commander Fu frowned deeply, took two steps in place, and then suddenly waved his hand.

"Order! Deploy all backup Magic Eagle Eye drones! Thoroughly detect magical energy fluctuations in the nearby airspace and sea!"

"Commander, the damage rate of those types of unmanned exploration equipment in such harsh conditions is high—" the adjutant whispered a reminder.

"The soldiers are carrying out orders near the Devil's Sea! Have you lost your mind? Why are you worried about those lumps of iron?" Brigade Commander Fu glared. "Carry out orders!"

"yes!"

At the same time, at the Time-Space Gate Base.

Su Mingjin and Brigade Commander Man also received the alert.

She went to the window and watched as the trails left by the three red and green comets, which seemed to pierce the sky, gradually flew southward, her brows furrowing slightly.

The analysis data for the weekly points report is out.

He gazed thoughtfully at the fleeting, ephemeral peak that illuminated the sky.

"Can astronomers and aerospace experts analyze this quickly?"

"OK!"

After some time, the call came in from the astronomy consultant, who had hardly been of any use. The voice on the other end of the phone was indifferent.

"Commander-in-Chief! It's a comet rich in copper and iron. Only copper would produce that typical emerald green flame color. This is the first time we've seen such a beautiful comet in this other world—a textbook example of a cosmic wonder!"

As Su Mingjin listened to the explanation on the other end of the phone, she rubbed her temples in exasperation.

铜？

"Are you sure there's no danger?"

In this world where even the laws of geophysics are questionable, and where Haiyou may have imprisoned a god, she didn't dwell on the chemical composition of a broken rock; she was simply instinctively checking whether these things were harmful!

"President Su, what's the danger?! It's just a comet, but the arrangement of these three comets is quite interesting. They're so close together, yet they haven't been captured by the gravity of this alien planet—"

"Open Bojing," she had to speak up, "I need to confirm if there are any further threats from these things? There's abnormal radiation; after I saw that thing appear, our equipment started interfering, and the magical energy particles are also increasing!"

"No, no! The comet's diameter is unavoidable. Although it has disappeared from our sight, I feel that those meteorites will at most cause a rather rare meteor shower! The oxygen in this other world is very rich; it will definitely burn those three meteorites into harmless pebbles before they hit the ground!"

"Understood, let's continue the observation and analysis."

Su Mingjin hung up the chair and looked at the long-lost ruins in the bright sky, which were now almost invisible and had merged with the sky. She raised her eyebrows and gave a self-deprecating smile.

I thought they were visitors from outer space!

scare yourself!

If they are extraterrestrial visitors, then these people are the most extraterrestrial visitors in the world.

More than the comets that were basically confirmed to be harmless, she was concerned about the movements in the Devil's Sea. Could the probes that had already ventured deep into the forbidden zone of ruins bring back the clues that the pioneering team urgently needed to explore?

After a moment's hesitation, Su Mingjin picked up the phone again, dialed the number, and was answered by Hu, who had become her orderly.

Upon learning that Deng Dakang had entered the Dragon Scale Energy Absorption Room to conduct some tests, Kai Hu gave instructions and then left.

Her gaze returned directly to the main screen.

That represents some operational status maps of the Bright Devil Sea area.

To the pioneering team, this three-tailed comet was just a rather strange astronomical phenomenon.

The family's attention was not focused on much.

However, both Commander Fu's airtight detection network and Bo Jing's confident scientific analysis overlooked a certain area.

Deep in the distant northern ice plains, the wind and snow howled like daggers, and an ominous aura of death gathered there.

This place is a paradise for the dead and a hell for the living.

Several small meteorite fragments that broke off from the three-tailed comet crashed to the ground.

The charred crater was emitting wisps of black smoke. The solid ice at the bottom of the crater was broken by the shock wave and melted by the high-voltage current, turning into turbid muddy water that made a "sizzling" sound.

In the center of the largest crater, there were several twisted objects, indistinguishable as either metal or flesh.

Among these strange objects, a faint, pale green light was slowly pulsating in rhythm with a heartbeat.

Under the blizzard that made it impossible to stand, several figures emanating an aura of death, evil, and coldness walked out.

Looking at the objects inside the meteorite crater, these figures wore ice armor that blended almost seamlessly with the wind and snow, carried longswords made of gleaming ice crystals, and were emaciated with skin as white as milk.

Only those deep blue eyes showed a hint of extremely cold emotional fluctuation.

When they reached the outer edge of the crater and saw what was inside, their previously icy poker faces changed color instantly!

A few kilometers away from the spacetime portal base, there is the Dragon Scale Energy Absorption Chamber.

Deng Dakang stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, staring intently at the scene through the observation window.

At this very moment, Sun Jiadong, a highly intelligent warrior from the pioneering team, was wearing special armor covered with intricate wiring and sitting cross-legged in the dragon scale energy absorption chamber with his eyes closed.

If humans possessed a magical perspective, they would surely be able to see countless energy particles visible to the naked eye, drawn to life like fireflies and flowing into their bodies.

Everything proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.

However, in the next second, something unexpected happened!

The energy particles that should have been replaced by obedient, docile sheep instantly went berserk!

The previously gentle energy flow suddenly increased and poured into Sun Jiadong's body!

"Zi La Yi"

The dial on the control panel instantly became half full!

Sun Jiadong, who was absorbing energy with his eyes closed indoors, suddenly turned into a look of pain.

"What's going on!" Deng Dakang's expression changed, and he growled into the communicator, "Shut down the energy absorption unit immediately!"

'

While speaking, Deng Dakang looked around the troupe room.

Sun Jiadong's body trembled violently, veins bulged on his face, and his expression was distorted, clearly suffering from the pain of being stabbed.

"Reporting, Professor Deng! The concentration of magic energy particles has surged by five percent instantly! And it's still rising!" A researcher's voice trembled with tension.

"I'll have Wu turn it off!" Deng Dakang shoved him aside, rushed to the control panel, and slammed the emergency brake button down.

The piercing buzzing stopped abruptly, and the violent energy particles in the room rapidly diminished, leaving only Sun Jiadong's heavy breathing.

A dozen minutes later, in the medical isolation room.

Sun Jiadong drank half a bottle of water, and his complexion improved somewhat, but his eyes still shone with a hint of shock.

Deng Dakang handed him a warm, smooth jade pendant, a special energy protection device designed to soothe the mind.

"How do you feel?" Deng Dakang's voice was calm and steady. "Don't rush, tell me slowly. Stinging? Burning?"

Or does it feel like being electrocuted? Are any inappropriate images flashing through your mind?

This was a routine inquiry, but this time Deng Dakang asked in unusual detail.

The dragon scale energy absorption device is his brainchild, drawing on the principle of the little demon dragon's dragon scales absorbing special energy particles. Except for some problems in the early stages of operation, it has now stabilized.

Who knew something like this would go wrong today?

Sun Jiadong scratched his head, seemingly organizing his thoughts: "Professor Deng, it's just—suddenly, that energy surged like crazy, drilling into my muscles, bones, and even nerves, making them feel sore and swollen. And then—then my head went blank."

He paused, looked up at Deng Dakang, and hesitated for a moment: "You might not believe it, but I think I heard someone calling my name."

"Call him Wu by his name?" Deng Dakang's heart tightened suddenly, and his fingers unconsciously tightened around the recorder.

That memory of arriving in another world for the first time, almost being seduced by the whispers of the sacred elven tree and nearly losing my way, is like a sharp thorn in my heart.

Hearing this again immediately caught his attention.

"Yes." Sun Jiadong nodded, his expression somewhat strange. "It felt very blurry. I couldn't tell if it was a male or female, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I just knew they were calling me. I thought someone outside was looking for me."

"Someone's looking for us outside?" Deng Dakang's eyes turned cold. "Does Wu really think we can just pour sound directly into this highly sensitive brain of a person in a room with a light-blocking lead-ceramic composite shield?"

Sun Jiadong was taken aback, but quickly responded, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

"Professor Deng? Didn't Wu speak to me just now?"

Deng Dakang nodded: "Rest well and see if you experience any unusual or strange sensations. Tell me everything you feel; don't make any mistakes or get confused!"

Sun Jiadong nodded quickly.

Deng Dakang only left the house after he had calmed Sun Jiadong down.

As soon as he stepped outside, Kai Hu came over and told him about Su Mingjin contacting him.

"A three-tailed comet? And unusual fluctuations?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Dakang's heart skipped a beat. He went outside to look and indeed found faint traces in the sky.

He took a deep breath and went straight back to his office.

"Professor Deng, should we contact General Manager Su first?"

"No need, President Su wants me to analyze the clues. I don't know anything right now!"

Back in his office, he quickly retrieved the shared survey information.

"I almost mistook it for an extraterrestrial visitor—an abnormal peak in magical energy—"

He looked at the words on the briefing and then at the time of his energy surge that he had recorded. The two matched perfectly.

"Meteorite?" Deng Dakang's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Are those astrophysical enthusiasts at Kaibojing's brains filled with rocks too?"

A meteorite falling from the sky is unlikely to speak precisely to someone's brain.

However, Sun Jiadong's performance just now, as well as the strange electromagnetic interference and magical particle fluctuations, were also noteworthy.

This gave Deng Dakang reason to suspect that this celestial phenomenon would inevitably lead to some far-reaching changes.

Deng Dakang's expression was serious.

These are the words spoken by General Manager Li Weiguo during the meeting before he left his hometown.

Of course, this is also the highest rule of the pioneering team: in this world, phenomena that cannot be understood for the time being should be speculated with the utmost malice.

Deng Dakang is at a high level and has access to many things.

He looked at the tiger standing guard with its javelin, and his tone became more serious than ever before.

"Kaihu, from now on, all high-sensory personnel shall suspend energy absorption training and switch to Kidin physical training."

"Ah? Professor Deng, is that right—"

"Execute the order! I have a feeling something's wrong with this thing!"

Deng Dakang was hitting his son, pacing back and forth in the room, his mind racing.

This matter must be reported to General Manager Su immediately.

Beyond the forbidden zone, in the Devil's Sea, a storm has already formed.

The dark clouds, heavy as lead, pressed down on the sea surface. The gale-force winds whipped up the seawater, pounding against the unmanned exploration vessels. The intense electromagnetic interference and storm had severely impacted human ships.

A violent storm is raging, sweeping across the land.

Humanity's high-tech equipment, which it takes pride in, appears so fragile in the face of nature's powerful waves that can easily rise to five or six meters high.

And this terrifying force of natural destruction continues to rise.

All of this is currently unrelated to Lin Li.

His entire focus was on that sealed-off ancient forbidden zone.

From the high-dimensional perspective illuminated by the steel sea urchin detector, Lin Li was astonished at the three races of monsters that had been swept away by the unknown power of the black rhombus-shaped gems within the restricted area and turned to ashes because of Lai Bufa's escape!

These terrifying and bizarre forces are like barnacles and plankton that need to be regularly cleaned from the bottom of ships docked in the shipyard.

Those strange creatures that Lin Li considered to be incredibly powerful and destructive, even to the point that he believed firearms might not be able to penetrate their defenses, were as fragile as an ant under the foot of a human under the power of the rhombus-shaped gem.

After being wiped out by the strange, invisible force, the three sea creatures that had just stirred up trouble in this forbidden zone went into hiding.

Meanwhile, much smaller fish and tiny sea monsters began to devour the ashes once again, as if there were some supremely delicious substance in the ashes that could satisfy them.

After carefully examining the ashes and remains of the three marine creatures that cleaned the ocean, Lin Li's gaze returned to the steel sea urchin detector that was still persisting.

The submersible, specially made by the top engineering team led by Huang Jingkai, was not destroyed by the invisible force because it was not a carbon-based life form. However, the outer shell of this detector, which integrates human high technology and composite materials, is now covered with mottled marks of corrosion.

The most crucial propulsion blades were also melting and deforming, like wax being scorched by an invisible fire.

"Humanity's accumulated wisdom is utterly inadequate compared to the technology of this unreasonable, higher civilization!"

Lin Li was amazed.

How long can this thing last?

An hour? Or half an hour?

"Faster, faster!"

He watched as the probe's trajectory aligned perfectly with the distant, blurry outline of an incredibly high landmass, and couldn't help but mentally fuel the nearly broken-down piece of scrap metal.

At the same time, he was also making rapid calculations.

If these detectors fail, how much energy will I have to use to project a clone and personally explore this hellish place?

When Lin Li uses items and equipment to pass through the time portal, he can anchor some of the portal's source energy to these items, allowing him to overlook the battlefield from a godlike perspective.

However, this God's-eye view, under the interference of complex forces, has serious limitations in scope and clarity.

As the detectors lost contact one by one, his field of vision was compressed to a very small area, and the image began to blur.

"Hurry, hurry—"

Once you can see land, you can officially anchor your coordinates, and then you'll have room to maneuver.

With this in mind, Lin Li's consciousness probed into his spacetime warehouse again, scanning the several ships stored inside.

Previously, due to his unclean hands, he had stolen a small military assault boat. He hadn't been punished or required to modify it yet, but he already had a motorboat with a full tank of gas and a rowboat.

The probe broke down halfway, so it projected a clone, put on a full protective suit, and rowed across the island itself.

A mere few dozen kilometers, as long as you're not too unlucky and don't run into any deep-sea monsters, should be fine—

Is it possible to get there?

Lin, the boatman, rowed in and became the first person in countless years to conquer the forbidden zone!

That sounds pretty cool.

Just as he was lost in thought, a strange light, as if the heavens and earth had split open, appeared in a place almost invisible to the naked eye, instantly bringing him back to his senses.

How did the servant describe Daoguang?

Lin Li's field of vision was completely empty before a purple light began to appear. It didn't emanate from any light source, but rather seemed to tear open a rift in space, flickering unstablely.

Immediately after, some indescribable, indistinguishable figures, and vaguely distorted and blurry black shadows, rushed out of the crack with purple edges and a pitch-black center!

"roar--!"

"hold head high--!"

"Sizzle—!"

Crazy, exhilarating roars, along with the screeching, sharp sounds of metal scraping against steel, came from over there.

Soon after, a piercing scream was heard.

Deep in the ocean, the three sea creatures, who had been trembling and hiding, are now becoming active again.

The three races of monsters he had previously seen, who were treated like trash by the forbidden zone's power, seemed to be very interested in the monsters emerging from the purple light.

They dodged the bright stone pillars while frantically surging towards the You.

The distance was too great; the towering figures, viewed from above, couldn't see much, only the battle scene visible through the gray-black fog.

Then, a greenish-blue light suddenly appeared in the distance without warning.

That must be some kind of special energy ray, or perhaps a silent signal.

The green light almost illuminated the sky, which was filled with gray-black fog, before it vanished in a flash.

Lin Li even thought he was seeing an illusion.

Then, the noisy sea instantly fell silent.

The roars, screams, and the monster's figure all fell silent.

Another surge of yellow light appeared, and the eerie, luminous purple crack began to dissipate.

Everything came to an abrupt end after those two beams of light appeared.

From the towering high-dimensional perspective, the image signal in that area instantly disappeared, leaving only a pure, uninterrupted view.

A plain grayish-black.

It was as if someone had pressed the delete button, completely erasing everything that was wonderful.

Lin Li's consciousness paused for a moment.

What is that green light?

To his astonishment, he discovered that the three sea creatures from the ocean had started fighting again.

Lin Li could vaguely see that in the distance, beneath the ocean, many sea monsters were fighting over something!

The cleanup that had taken place over an hour earlier had likely kept the three races in a state of basic restraint. Aside from some minor commotion during the fight over the flesh and blood, they didn't attack each other at other times.

"What—?"

"What good things are there in those places?"

Lin Li was wary of You's strangeness. His energy projection clone hadn't come here. Although he was scratching his head, he couldn't detect it because of the angle.

All I could do was urge the steel sea urchin probes and the smaller probes that had miraculously survived to go further, so that I could explore even more.

At this moment, Lin Li's attention was focused on You Shi, unaware that in other parts of the other world, Pu Jin was in complete chaos because of this three-tailed comet.
