Neltharion did not sneak into the captive camp recklessly. Instead, it circled around the north side of the island. The northern peninsula was more than ten kilometers long. Even the part of the captive camp that was exposed to the ground was more than two kilometers long. It was quite a large area.
Three layers of obstacles had been established outside the captive camp.
The first layer was the frost thorns, which were extremely resistant to cold. They looked like countless icicles entangled into a high wall more than twenty meters tall. For every captive who dared to approach, a few thorns would protrude out and shake them like the heads of vipers.
Behind the frost thorns was a high-voltage electric net. Deep blue electric arcs were running on the thick crystal wires. Occasionally, two electric arcs would collide and burst out dazzling sparks.
Behind the high-voltage electric net was a cluster of weird demonic plants. At first glance, they looked like the organs of a certain enormous demon beast. They were three to four floors high and bright blue in color. Translucent lumps were growing on them, which were expanding, contracting, and expanding again like hearts. The giant petals on the top of the plants were like bloody mouths that had been split into almost ten petals. The thorns on the edges of the petals were like tusks. Deep inside the stamens, blue icy mist was spurting out and congregating into a vague cloud of ice in the air.
The weird demonic plants were planted in a circle around the captive camp. They were hundreds of meters deep. The entire captive camp was enshrouded in the icy mist and did not disperse for a long time.
According to Li Yao's experience, they should be some sort of demonic plants that boasted anti-air attack abilities.
Frost thorns, high-voltage electric net, and the anti-air demonic plants. Even if they passed through the three layers of obstacles, they would still be surrounded by a gloomy, gloomy, icy ocean. There was not even a foothold within thousands of kilometers. It was indeed impossible for them to escape!
However, they were not the most powerful barriers in the captive camp!
Between the frost thorns and the high-voltage electric net, there was a bronze pillar every dozens of meters. They were like hundreds of giants in heavy armor who were staring at all the captives coldly.
All the bronze pillars were engraved with profound and complicated words. They were ancient runes.
Li Yao thought of something. Judging from the way the spiritual stripes were written and engraved, they were all ancient runes from forty thousand years ago.
"One hundred and eight pillars form an ancient formation. Right. This must be an ancient array that Ba Yanzhi's' Chaos Demons' deployed forty thousand years ago to imprison certain ferocious demon beasts or even … the 'Ultimate One Demons'!
Li Yao's spirits were lifted. The ancient arrays were naturally made up of ancient magic treasures, and the most classic ancient spirit tattoos were also used.
Analyzing ancient spiritual stripes, dismantling ancient magical equipment, and cracking ancient arrays were all his specialties!
From the looks of it, this ancient formation was the core of the captive camp. If that was the case, the formation would be destroyed. It was very likely that they would be able to rescue all the captives!
Li Yao scanned the spiritual stripes on the hundred and eight bronze pillars on Neltharion before he flew into the captive camp carefully.
All the captives, be they human beings or demons, had silver shackles on their necks, wrists, and ankles other than the weights for training. Every shackle was embedded with glittering crystals. It was surrounded by mysterious and complicated spirit tattoos.
Although the shackles were a piece of modern magical equipment that had been newly refined, the spiritual stripes on them carried the distinctive features of the ancient Cultivators, too. They were of the same system as the spiritual stripes on the bronze pillars.
"It seems that the shackles are used in conjunction with the hundred and eight bronze pillars. Judging from the pattern of the spiritual stripes, they are some kind of magical equipment that can generate super powerful electric arcs. I don't know if there are any other mysteries. "
Li Yao was about to observe more carefully when he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him.
As it turned out, the captives of the demon race were too focused on their training and splashed a few pieces of ice to the captives of human beings, hitting the head of one of them.
The gap between the demon race and human beings was very deep in the first place. The captives seemed to have a deep grudge against each other. The tiny spark immediately triggered a prairie fire. The two parties jumped to their feet and glared at each other across the invisible 'boundary river', cursing aloud.
Not long after, a burly man with the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear dashed out from both sides!
What was strange was that the leader of the Union Army, on the other hand, had a blue face and long fangs. His entire body was dark, and his arms were unusually long. They reached his ankles and were covered in black scales. He was also dragging a bone tail that looked like a hammer behind his back.
At first glance, he looked even uglier than a yaksha.
But he was wearing a field cap of the Union Army neatly on his head. Although the cap was full of holes, it had been carefully stitched and starched by him.
At the center of the cap was a medal of the Union Army, which was a red star with two silver dragons circling it.
The one who strode out of the demon race's camp, on the other hand, was a handsome middle-aged man who was more than eight feet tall. Except for his slightly protruding lower jaw and the two canines that protruded out of his lips, Li Yao could not see any features of the demon race in him.
"Are these two fellows in the wrong camp?"
Li Yao scratched his head.
"Suo Chaolong!"
The 'yaksha', who was wearing a field cap of the Union Army, walked out of the human captives and roared, "What the f * ck is the meaning of this? I didn't beat you up enough last week, and your broken teeth have grown out again. Do you want to be beaten up again?"
"Han Tuhu, don't look for trouble. My men only splashed some ice chips by accident during their training. It was your men who spoke rudely first!"
The leader of the demon captives, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, chuckled. "You are screaming and yelling when you are hit by such tiny ice chips. What a bunch of f * cking garbage! No wonder you collapsed all the way from the Dark Desolate Domain to the Giant Blade Pass when I beat you up! "
"Hahahaha!"
'Han Tuhu', who looked like a yaksha, burst into laughter and spat on the ground. His saliva was quickly frozen in the air and shattered into powder when it hit the ground. "Collapsed all the way? Yes. When my 'Flying Tigers Legion' launched a counterattack, I don't know who was the one who fled all the way from the Giant Blade Pass to the Dark Desolate Domain! "
'Suo Chaolong', the leader of the demons, bulged his eyes as he bellowed, "It was the lowly black-blood demons and the chaotic-blood demons who fled all the way! My 'Blood Lion Battalion' is made of the toughest bronze-blood demons and the noble silver-blood demons. It was because of those scumbags that we made a strategic retreat!
"After we reached the Dark Desolate Domain, without the burden of those scumbags, we were still going to crush your so-called 'trifling cats'!"
"Crush?"
Han Tuhu's eyes, eyebrows, and nose were all squeezed together. "How arrogant of you. We only suffered heavy losses. Then, we were surrounded and captured to this wretched place for the most torturous experiments. Yesterday alone, three of my best brothers were killed. Three of my best brothers!"
"Damn you!"
Suo Chaolong spat on the ground, too. "Who the f * ck made your 'trifling cats' bite me so hard that they were ready to die together with me at any moment? Two of my subordinates were killed yesterday, and four the day before yesterday, too! "
Han Tuhu sneered. "You asked for it. When you invaded the Tian Yuan Realm, you didn't expect that you would end up like this, did you?"
Brutality beamed out of Suo Chaolong's eyes. "For the last time, I am not invading; I am reviving! My ancestors lived on the Grand Desolate Plateau a thousand years ago. They were the out-and-out masters of the Grand Desolate Plateau!
"To this day, the relics of the demon cities of my ancestors are still on the Grand Desolate Plateau. Do you dare deny it?
"It was the shameless, greedy Union Army that invaded the Grand Desolate Plateau first and destroyed our home! Most of my ancestors were killed by you. Only the luckiest 1% escaped to the Blood Demon Sector through wormholes!
"If we are talking about invasion, you people of the Federation are the real invaders, aren't you? I'm just taking back the home of my ancestors five hundred years ago!"
Han Tuhu shouted. "Your ancestors lived on the Grand Desolate Plateau a thousand years ago, but the ancestors of human beings owned the entire sea of stars forty thousand years ago! There were traces of human beings on the Grand Desolate Plateau forty thousand years ago! Countless unearthed relics can prove it! How do you explain that? "
Suo Chaolong sneered and said, "Alright. Let's not talk about what happened five hundred years ago. In the past ten years, the crystal warships of the Xing Yao Federation have been diving into the water like dumplings. The output of the Crystal Suit is more than that of rabbits. The military budget has been rising by thirty to fifty percent every year. Don't tell me that you are peace-loving and only want to protect your home and country, and that you have never thought of invading the Blood Demon Sector!"
Suo Chaolong pointed at the medal at the center of Han Tuhu's cap. "You have been awarded the 'Level Two Red Star Medal' of the Union Army, haven't you? According to the 'Military Arts Act' of the Federation government, those who have been awarded the 'Level Two Red Star Medal' will be granted twenty acres of level-five land in the Blood Demon Sector.
"Hehe. The 'Military Arts Act' was drafted a hundred years ago, and it has been modified dozens of times. Almost every blade of grass and tree in the Blood Demon Sector has been divided up!
"I know that many Cultivation sects of the Xing Yao Federation are purchasing the 'future lands' from the veterans who have made great military exploits. There are even special bonds and stocks that are circulating in the market.
"If I may ask, if you don't intend to invade the Blood Demon Sector, how are you going to get the twenty acres of land? If it is only an honor, those Cultivation sects would be too bored to buy the intangible 'future land development rights'!
"So, just admit it. We all want to swallow each other. It's just that the Blood Demon Sector takes the initiative. This is the world we live in. The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive. Don't think that human beings are more righteous and kinder than demons!"
Han Tuhu blushed and gnashed his teeth. "Don't compare the great civilization of mankind with the brutal and heartless civilization of the demon race!"
Suo Chaolong chuckled and pointed at the canines on his lower jaw. "After being tortured dozens of times by those scumbags, I still have some of the features of the demon race. As for you, do you look like a human being at all? Take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. Do you think that you are qualified to boast about the 'great civilization of mankind'?
"Hey, Han Tuhu, I've been curious about you for a long time, and I want to ask you about it.
