C1212 Escaping Was the Most Important Task
"How is it?" Lin Sen wasn't just trying to tempt the parrot and the others. They were eating and chatting here. Qingyi, Chai Cai, and the old Taoist priest had not been idle. They were studying how to break this natural barrier. Even if they could not break it, they had to find a way to get in and out. If they entered recklessly, they would definitely fall into some kind of illusion. It was an extremely dangerous thing.1
The others started to dig the ditch under Ye Yun's instructions. They dug the ditch crazily. As for what they did, Ye Yun did not say and they did not have the face to ask. In any case, if they were to dig, they would dig. It would definitely be useful.
"This natural barrier is not very stable. My opinion is to break it directly!" Chai Cai said.
Qingyi and the old Taoist nodded to agree with Chai Cai. Lin Sen asked, "Is it dangerous to break it?"
"No!" Chai Cai replied.
"Okay, I will break it then. I want to see what is hidden inside." Lin Sen smiled.
"Then we will prepare to break this natural barrier when it rises too far away tomorrow. When that time comes, you may have to prepare for battle." Chai Cai said.
"No problem!" Lin Sen nodded. He was ready at all times and arranged sentries. The others made the best use of their time to rest, while Lin Sen and Chai Cai made arrangements. To break through such a large natural barrier, it was not something that could be done with just a casual move. Since the force of nature could form such a powerful barrier, they could only use the force of nature to break it.
Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the Ice-fire Island, Chai Cai, qingyi, and the old Daoist worked together to mobilize the Force of Nature between the heaven and earth to form a long spear and thrust it at the Natural Barrier. The Natural Barrier was like a huge shield. Under the attack of the long spear, it shattered.
Pop!
With a sound like a balloon being pierced, the space in front of them fluctuated violently. It was as if a layer of faint fog had gradually dissipated, revealing its true appearance. The mountain was still the same mountain, but the forest in front of Lin Sen and the others had undergone a huge change. The trees in the sky were still standing tall, but this didn't change at all. However, the terrain was no longer flat. Instead, it was rising and falling. There were ravines everywhere, just like a few canyons. They meandered towards the bottom of the mountains. As for the specific direction of the terrain... The time was too short, and the Mechanical Spider did not bring much information to Lin Sen and the others. As for the drone, it was basically useless under the pursuit of the two Falco Rusticolus.
The moment the spatial barrier broke, the Falco Rusticolus flew high into the sky. As for the other Strange Beast, they did not appear. The purpose of the Falco Rusticolus was to prevent the drone from exploring this new world.
"There should be a natural barrier." The disappearance of one Mechanical Spider made Ye Yun hurriedly command the other Mechanical Spider to hide and wait for instructions.
With the highest point of the mountain as the center, draw a circle around the place where the Mechanical Spider disappeared. This was the position of the next natural barrier that Ye Yun estimated, and then calculate the distance to where they were. It was about three kilometers, which meant... They needed to clear out this three kilometer wide circular area before they could probe the next natural barrier.
"Something's not right!" After drawing up a completely new map, Ye Yun suddenly said in puzzlement.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sen asked.
"The Ice-fire Island has become bigger." Ye Yun quickly calculated and found that along with the destruction of the natural barrier, the Ice-fire Island had become bigger. Although there was no accurate data, it had definitely become bigger.
"It's normal!" This situation was not unexpected. If the natural barrier could make such a large island invisible for so many years without being discovered, then it was normal to hide something.
"What should we do now?" Chai Cai asked Lin Sen.
"Wait!" Ye Yun's small drone could not be used under the pursuit of the Falco Rusticolus, but the large drone on the Boundless had already flown over. It was better to wait for the situation to be investigated before taking action. She did not care about the time. This would be a protracted battle and she had to be patient.
Although it was said to be waiting, Lin Sen and the others would not really sit there and wait. Instead, they were building a defensive position, whether it was the Violent Dragon or the Godzilla. It was also the group of alligators led by the Crocodile King that were difficult to deal with. If they wanted to fight a protracted war, they had to build a base in Ice-fire Island. For ordinary people, this might be a little difficult. After all, building anything required materials. But for Lin Sen, all of this was not a problem.
Although there were not many earth descent espers, each one of them could play a huge role. A ten-meter deep trench that was more than three meters wide was quickly dug out. Pieces of steel plates more than thirty meters tall were buried in the trench, forming a solid fortress. Whether or not it could withstand the impact of the Violent Dragon was still questionable, but as long as the Violent Dragon was not given the chance to accelerate the impact... Lin Sen felt that he should be able to withstand it. Fortunately, this was close to Chile. South America, which was rich in iron mines, would not be able to accomplish such a magnificent feat.
A circular line of defense was like a huge barrel. Outside were several ring-shaped trenches, each of which was about three meters deep. It was more than five meters wide, and it was only to reduce the charging power of the Violent Dragon. They could also stop the charging of the Godzilla. Of course... The steel plates would not allow them to crash into each other so easily. The two meter long spikes on the steel plates... They were definitely not for decoration. If they dared to charge straight at them... They would definitely turn into a string.
In order to be safe, there would be a round pillar inside the steel wall every once in a while that would firmly support the steel plate. Lin Sen and the others could do it. This was the only way. If it was still broken, there was no other way. They could only escape.
On the steel wall, the watchtowers were erected one by one. They could be used to observe the movement of the Strange Beast, and could also be used as a battle zone. It could provide a convenient output point for the people who could attack from afar. If this thing was expanded a little more... To build a house or something, a standard steel fortress... And now, it looked a little simple.
The drone first transmitted the captured images and the measured data over. Lin Sen and the others once again had an intuitive understanding of Ice-fire Island. Ye Yun's feeling was right. It had indeed become bigger. According to the calculations now, whether it was east, west, north or south, in other words, it had all been expanded by two kilometers. They had broken the natural barrier, revealing a ring-shaped area that was three kilometers in diameter. Two kilometers had appeared when the natural barrier was young.
Then, the topography data was transmitted over. This way, the situation in Ice-fire Island was temporarily clear. The only thing that was unclear was whether there were Strange Beast hidden within. Because of the obstruction of the Falco Rusticolus, the drone did not dare to fly too low and could only circle in the air and wait for the opportunity.
"It's better to drive here!" Ye Yun's side, according to the terrain, they quickly calculated the best detection location. Lin Sen and the others naturally had no objections. They started a new search according to the direction Ye Yun had calculated. It was not everyone who acted together, but only Lin Sen and the others who were strong. It was easy for them to escape. The situation was unclear. When facing an enemy, the most important task was to escape. As the saying went, "When the green mountain is alive, there is no need to worry about not having firewood to burn." Only when one was alive would there be hope, so one had to be alive first.
