Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 703 Stepping into the unknown

"It's a pity." Aurora said with a little regret, "I thought I could get more intuitive information, but now I can only look at the mages."

Jayne Van Ritter had mixed feelings in his heart.

He didn't regret the death of the rebels, but he couldn't accept how they died.

The survivability of the blood race is definitely considered to be the best among the countries in the Tranquility Sea, not to mention a lot of protective spells attached to it. In the absence of obvious trauma, you can't even hold on for an hour. How bad is the world on the other side of the wall?

Even so, the Duke still persisted in wanting to cross the black barrier, and this belief really made Jayne shudder.

Does she really know what she is doing?

The mage began to check all the test items in public, and those petrified nobles were no exception. In order to save time, they uncommonly took out a long knife and directly chopped the corpse into several pieces.

"The exterior of the deceased is basically intact, with broken fingers and bruises on the extremities."

"Oh? Check these blood accumulation parts."

"Have any of them left any records?"

"No! Everyone's notepad is empty."

"I didn't even write a word for an hour, or they died the moment they passed through the black barrier, or they didn't intend to assist our research at all."

"Master Karna, you'd better come and see this...these people may not have died from the low temperature."

"So that's how it is...you've done a good job, I'll inform His Excellency the Duke right now."

After listening to the archmage's report, Auror's eyes flashed brightly, "You mean, they did suffer from extremely low temperatures, but the real cause of death was suffocation?"

"Yes. The throats of these people are swollen, there are many places in the body cavity that ooze blood, and the lungs are particularly common. In addition, they were locked in cages, and they were desperately scratching their throats and iron chains before they died. This is consistent with the symptoms of those who died of suffocation. The latter said succinctly, "So I suspect that there is something on the other side of the black barrier that inhibits their breathing, or simply lacks the elements needed for breathing."

Aurora laughed, "Is there a solution?"

"Of course, please give me a quarter of an hour."

"Very well, let's arrange for the next boat."

After the mage turned his head to carry out the order, Jayne asked, "What about the severe cold? The moment the ship was dragged out, it suddenly froze. In all likelihood, the surrounding water vapor condensed on the hull. A similar situation occurs when crossing the permafrost sea. It can also be seen at the border, but the speed is far less exaggerated. This means that there is no temperature at all on the side of the black barrier, and I can't imagine what it would be several times colder than the eternal frozen sea..."

"I don't know either." Aurora said relaxedly, "But since the autopsy showed that it wasn't the primary cause of death, we can put the problem aside for now—after all, food needs to be eaten in one bite."

Why can she still laugh?

The commander finds it difficult to understand that the back of the black barrier is not suitable for humans to go, let alone looking for the Holy Grail. Faced with such a pessimistic situation, he couldn't think of any reason to be happy.

"I'm happy because the exploration is not in vain." The Duke seemed to see his doubts, "You see, we are getting to know the unknown little by little, aren't we? Two hours ago, we didn't know anything about what was behind the black barrier , but now we have lifted its outermost veil, maybe it won’t be long before we can truly set foot in that world and become the pioneers of all mankind.”

"But……"

"But there is a big price to pay." Aurora shrugged, "I understand that the price is very high, but this is the path that must be taken—if even the empire does not explore the unknown, who else can afford it?" This mission?"

The second ship was soon ready as well.

This time the mages not only put protective spells on several new death row prisoners, but also prepared a huge leather airbag for them. It can be seen that this set of equipment was not prepared in advance—it might have been used as a life raft or as a cushion for falling, but after simple modification, it became a The "square box" with sufficient gas is connected to the vampires through pipes and glass masks.

"This time the time is reduced to thirty minutes." Aurora ordered, "Tell these people that if any of them can come back alive or provide valuable information, not only will they be saved from death, their The family's reputation can be restored."

Amidst the long sound of horns, the second warship was slowly pushed into the black barrier.

It was close to 6 pm at this time, but the sky still had no change, and it was still gray.

Only the snowflakes floated more densely.

For Jayne, these thirty minutes seemed longer than the previous hour.

When the vines slowly dragged the hull out of the hexagonal gate, he couldn't help but let out a low voice!

"Blessed by the moon god—"

There are obviously still people alive on board!

Auror had already overturned the side of the ship with one stride, and jumped onto the deck of the warship.

The situation was unexpectedly ideal. Two of the three death row prisoners survived. Not only that, among the experimental animals with air bags, except for the monkeys, all died, a few mice and most of the insects were left alive!

The conclusions of the mages are not wrong, as long as the problem of suffocation can be solved, behind the black barrier is not a completely untouchable forbidden area!

For some reason, Jayne let out a sigh of relief.

There is less than an hour left for the door to open, and the Duke should not organize another exploration.

"Tell me, what did you all see?" Aurora asked a death row inmate.

The latter was in an extremely weak state, and his eyes were full of fear, "Over there... there is nothing... except for the endless night, I can't see anything..."

"Is that the sea or the land? Are there other life forms? Where are the demons?" Aurora asked one question after another.

The condemned prisoner just shook his head blindly, like a marionette.

"Your Excellency the Duke, his physical condition is not very good. It is best to treat him first and then ask questions." The mage on the side dissuaded him.

"How long can the force field last?" Aurora said in a deep voice.

"About forty-five minutes," the other party replied, "but this is just an optimistic estimate. The hourglass cannot accurately measure time, and the core of the spirit tree may be exhausted in advance."

"Enough. Bring in a third ship, this time only for a quarter of an hour into the black barrier."

"Yes," the mage led the order, "but there are problems with the experimental products. There are no noble demon possessors among the spare death row prisoners. The test results of ordinary people are not good. Should we replace them with elves?"

"There's no need for that," Aurora took off her mink coat, "I'll go in person this time." Speaking of which, she glanced at the crowd, "Anyone willing to come with me?"

Last night I suffered from insomnia again, I watched the ceiling all night T.T
