Chapter 880: Entering the Realm for Abundant Food
Chapter 880: Entering the Realm for Abundant Food
Early the next morning, Chen Chuan checked out of the hotel and boarded an airship, heading towards the unmarked area on the map.
This journey would take several days, and he maintained a certain intensity of cultivation on the airship, using his spare time to casually browse through the next volume of the common creature guide in the fusion land.
This guide was obtained from the Combatant Council, detailing the characteristics and weaknesses of some creatures in the depths of the fusion land, especially the parts of their bodies with nutritional value and the benefits they could provide.
However, the species in the fusion land changed rapidly, and each area was different. Some combatants, upon encountering new species, couldn't be bothered to report them, so the list was far from being able to account for the complex reality of the fusion land.
But fortunately, he didn't need to figure it all out. As a combatant, during the hunt, he would naturally know what he needed.
After three days of flying, Chen Chuan looked down and immediately felt a completely different sensation from the civilized lands. It was an untamed wilderness that had never been explored, vast and majestic beyond the uncharted territories he had visited before.
The creatures in the fusion land were extremely powerful and ferocious. Only combatants could set foot here, so even the people of the former imperial palace rarely visited.
He took a deep breath, but for combatants, this realm was the most suitable environment for their survival. The nutrients these creatures possessed could provide them with the cultivation and activity they needed, making it a hunting ground.
At this moment, an armed personnel on the airship walked over, saluted him, and said loudly, "Reporting to Commissioner Chen, in half a minute, we will arrive at the farthest outpost established by the garrison."
Chen Chuan took a look and saw a stone fortress standing on a cliff in the distance. He knew before coming that this was a stone tower built by the Great Shun using the former imperial palace. It was initially established by combatants, likely for their own use.
There was no docking tower, so it could only be used as a landmark. A team of exiled criminals was stationed there, receiving airdropped supplies every month. If they disappeared, a new batch would be sent from the rear to ensure someone was always stationed there.
He said, "Let's land on that tower."
"Yes, sir!"
The airship arrived above the fort, and the sound of the propeller was loud. Someone should have come to greet them and, at the very least, receive the supplies. But below, it was very quiet. On the road facing the fort, there were traces of people being dragged, as expected, this batch of people had gone missing again.
The recorder calmly made a note, preparing to bring another batch of criminals next time.
Chen Chuan picked up the Snow Lady's saber case and went to the airship deck. He leaped down from above and landed silently on the ground.
At this moment, Chao Ming also flew out of the airship and hovered in the air for a while, scouting the surroundings. Even though his psychic power could sense some dangerous things in advance, he still couldn't match the scope of the sky's vision. The creatures in the fusion land were often more dangerous the larger they were, though not a universal rule, at least for most of them.
Chen Chuan nodded towards the airship and then walked into the fort. Inside, it was a mess, with signs of a fight. There were bullet casings and broken arrows on the ground, but no corpses or even traces of blood.
This wasn't surprising; this was the fusion land, where even the smallest organism and secretion might be valuable. Nothing would be wasted, not even a little.
He wasn't interested in how these people had disappeared. With a glance, the overturned tables around him around him slowly floated and returned to their original positions.
It was already past four in the afternoon, and he planned to stay here for the night and set off early the next morning.
When this fort was modified, extensive protective measures were added to accommodate those staying here through the fusion land's nights.
However, this place was different. Having reached the depths of the fusion land, the night's influence was even greater. Therefore, after each phase, the protective measures had to be replenished. Some of the exiled criminals stationed here were tasked with this job; otherwise, they wouldn't receive supplies and would face immense consumption.
He took a look; the previous group hadn't needed much replenishment yet.
Chen Chuan now understood the situation in the fusion land at night. Simply put, at night, the other world's influence on this world intensified.
It was like a tug-of-war between two worlds or like the ebb and flow of the tide. During the day, the material world held the upper hand, but at night, the spiritual world took over.
If one had a strong and stable protection, they could remain firmly in the material world, feeling only some influence and anomalies from the other side. If one didn't panic, the outcome was manageable.
The creatures in the fusion land were subject to this influence, becoming even more dangerous at night. This was a given; if one spent the night in the wilderness of this realm, not even the secret rituals he mastered could hold back the creatures, who could easily tear through any protection.
Fortunately, as a fighter, he could naturally resist the influence of the powerful bio-field and spiritual power without being affected too much. However, this was quite exhausting, and he couldn't rest all night. If he needed to be active during the day, the time he could actually use would be very limited.
In this case, the fort's purpose became evident. It allowed him to engage in high-intensity activities for a while before returning to rest and recover, which was probably the initial intention behind building this fort.
The two Conquest Generals from the former imperial palace should have stayed here.
As the sky darkened, he called back Chao Ming, who was wandering outside, and then closed the fort's main gate. Instead of practicing, he decided to take a good rest for the night.
The next morning, just as the sun began to illuminate the earth, Chen Chuan pushed open the fort's gate, carrying the Snow Lady Sword's suitcase, and walked into the dense forest. As he emerged, his bio-field naturally expanded.
He felt that this place was indeed different, teeming with vibrant life forms unlike anything he had seen before.
As he ventured deeper, around noon, he spotted a moss lizard he had seen in the bestiary. This creature was enormous, measuring over ten meters from head to tail, and even when lying on the ground, it stood at around two meters tall. Its body was covered in various carnivorous parasitic plants.
However, this creature's life level wasn't high, so it could only serve as food on his menu. He punched it to death, then pulled out its tongue and peeled off the dense, resilient tongue muscles to reveal a pink, translucent tendon about a finger's length.
Without hesitation, he ate it, immediately feeling his altered tissues becoming active.
This was the most nutritious part of the moss lizard; the rest, he planned to discard.
It wasn't that the other parts were inedible, but in this place, the time spent slowly consuming them would be better used hunting for other prey of equal or higher value. There was no need to waste time here; the most efficient approach was to act as he was doing now.
After standing for a while, he sheathed the Snow Lady Sword and left the area.
In the 1619 book, there is no mistake!
Soon after he left, countless unknown creatures emerged from nowhere and gathered around the moss lizard's body, fighting and tearing at it. Even as he walked away, he could hear the sounds of gnawing behind him. Before long, the lizard would be devoured, leaving not even bones.
If he were placed in the entire biosphere at this moment, he would be at the top of the food chain. Only after he made his choice would other organisms come out to fight for his leftovers. This was why this place could be called his hunting ground.
But that didn't mean there was nothing here that could harm him.
For example, certain microorganisms could affect fighters to some extent, even causing them to contract specific diseases.
However, the benefits of being a Pure Sect member were evident here. The Heaven-Earth Furnace Breathing Technique could perfectly filter and kill these microorganisms, allowing him to maintain his purity wherever he went. Even without the Second Self, the Great Ming Light Style could resist and eliminate external corruption and impurities.
Members of the Pure Sect were formidable individuals, even when acting alone, as most of them possessed the ability to survive independently in Fusion Land.
As he ventured deeper into this area, he gained more and more. Along the way, he hunted several creatures from the bestiary, and even before evening, the ingredients he collected far exceeded expectations. The high-energy nutrients he obtained were not only enough to compensate for the day's activities but also sufficient to support his cultivation.
In the evening, as he prepared to set up camp, Chao Ming unexpectedly discovered a rusted iron beehive in Fusion Land.
The honey produced by these venomous bees was not only exceptionally delicious but also highly nutritious, effectively replenishing the vast energy consumed during cultivation. However, these bees often appeared in the millions, swarming in overwhelming numbers, making them difficult to obtain.
But for him, it wasn't a problem.
He took a glance, sent Chao Ming into the sky, expanded his bio-field, and walked towards the beehive. As he approached, the bees rained down like drops of water.
He used the Snow Lady Sword to cut open the beehive, took a piece, and tasted it, immediately feeling a burst of energy. With just a small taste, he sensed his altered tissues becoming active.
After a moment's thought, he set down his suitcase, sheathed the Snow Lady Sword, and slowly assumed a stance, and a glow emerged from his body.
He decided not to leave today but to stay and practice while consuming the honey.
