The Australian Continent, the Sahara in Africa, and the Amazon in South America were known as the world's three great danger zones!

During the Great Nirvana era, the Australian Continent had been completely occupied by monsters. Now, it contained nothing but endless monsters and no humans.

By convention, Wang Yi and the other Elite Training Camp students would head to the Australian Continent in August for a month-long Life and Death Adventure!

At nine that morning, the 183 Elite Training Camp students, along with more than a dozen War God teachers leading them, boarded a passenger aircraft bound for the Australian Continent.

At 3:10 in the afternoon, the passenger aircraft landed on a plain somewhere on the Australian Continent.

As the aircraft turned into a streak of light and vanished over the horizon, the Life and Death Adventure officially began.

After declining several more invitations to form a team, Wang Yi checked his bearings and headed directly toward his planned destination.

Before coming to the Australian Continent, Wang Yi had done his homework. He had gathered all the geographical data on the continent and, after sorting through and calculating it, found the place he wanted.

Although the entire Australian Continent was vast, Wang Yi had marked out his search area in advance, making it much easier to find.

Besides, there was satellite positioning and navigation here. Getting lost simply wasn't an issue.

Wang Yi's goal in coming to the Australian Continent this time was clear: Fog Island, which had always existed there yet had never been discovered.

Across the vast wilderness, a figure moved at incredible speed.

"Luckily, we landed in the heart of the Australian Continent. Luo Feng from the original world should have landed somewhere around here as well." Wang Yi consulted the map as he sped onward.

With physical fitness now nearing that of a High-level War God, once he unleashed his speed, his whole body became like a streak of light. Breaking the sound barrier, he shot forward an unknown distance in an instant.

The monsters along the way had no time to react before Wang Yi rushed past them. Sensing that astonishing aura, they did not dare give chase.

Even if they did, they could not catch him.

"Hmm, the Ape Mountain Range where Luo Feng and Li Yao clashed in the original story is over there, while this place is..." Wang Yi identified the direction as he sprinted.

"Too bad I don't have the Black God Set yet." Wang Yi still longed for the Black God Set. The Black God Set was a First-order Force Armor from the Ancient Civilization Ruins. Not only did it possess extremely strong defense, but it could also recognize its owner and automatically alter its appearance, making it convenient to carry.

However, according to his contract with the Limit Martial Arts School, he had to obtain a War God level evaluation before he could receive a Black God Set.

He would probably have to return it someday, too.

"If I can gain enough from Fog Island this time, I won't need to stay at the Training Camp for so long." Light flickered in Wang Yi's eyes.

Wang Yi's greatest goal at present was to break through to the Planetary level.

However, Earth's human evolution had only begun a few decades ago. Although some Ancient Civilization Ruins had been excavated, there was still no complete cultivation method. To break through, one had to rely on talent and luck.

With a clear destination in mind, Wang Yi traveled almost in a straight line. For a powerful War God level Mental Master, there was no terrain or environment on Earth capable of stopping them.

Boom!

Wang Yi completely transformed into a bolt of lightning, racing across the ground at an astonishing speed of five to six hundred meters per second.

Usually, only after Wang Yi had passed would a shrill sonic boom erupt from where he had been the next moment.

Wang Yi did not want to fly. He was afraid of attracting powerful avian monsters from the sky, which would be far more troublesome than the monsters on the ground.

After speeding along like this for more than an hour, stopping several times along the way to confirm the terrain, Wang Yi finally reached his destination.

It was a lake spanning roughly a hundred li in every direction.

The lake ahead was completely shrouded by endless dense fog. The deeper one went toward its center, the thicker the fog became. Even with a War God's eyesight, one could barely see a hundred meters through it.

What was strange was that the fog at the lake's edge was very thin, while the land beside the lake had no fog at all.

Whoosh! A streak of light tore through the air and stopped outside the lake, solidifying into the figure of a black-haired youth.

"That's right... the lake, the fog... this is the place." Joy involuntarily appeared in Wang Yi's eyes.

The mysterious, silent lake was covered in endless fog, yet there was not the slightest trace of fog along the shore at its edge. It was exceedingly strange.

"Fog Island... is inside." Wang Yi took a deep breath.

Whoosh!

The two Flowing Fire Battle Blades strapped to Wang Yi's back flew out and hovered before him. He stepped onto one blade with each foot and floated in midair just like that.

Wang Yi knew that the fog-covered lake contained a great number of Lord level monsters. His target was Fog Island, so there was no need to provoke them.

"Go!"

A sharp gleam flashed through Wang Yi's eyes. Driven by Mental Power, a powerful force acted upon the Flowing Fire Battle Blades beneath his feet. The next moment, Wang Yi's figure blurred, and he shot into the sky like he was riding a roller coaster, soaring straight upward.

He did not stop until he reached an altitude of one thousand meters, then lowered his head to overlook the boundless white fog below.

"Now those monsters in the lake shouldn't be able to spot me, right?"

If not for his Mental Power and ability to fly, it would have been no easy task for Wang Yi to cross this hundred-li lake and find Fog Island.

No one knew how many dangerous Lord level monsters were in the lake. Even an ordinary High-level War God would face almost certain death upon entering it.

If Li Yao in the original story had not been protected by the Black God Set, he would most likely have died in the lake.

Wang Yi hovered in the air, controlling the two battle blades with his Mental Power as he carefully flew toward the center of the lake.

Although he had gained a deep understanding of Fog Island in advance through the original plot... a story was a story, and reality was reality. Wang Yi would not become careless or complacent because of that.

What if a King level monster had just happened to be born in the lake and saw Wang Yi approaching? What then?

And the most dangerous place was actually Lake Heart Island. Beneath it lurked two super monsters: the Tentacle Beast Emperor and the Moyun Vine.

With Wang Yi's current strength, it would be extremely dangerous if he alerted them.

In the original Swallowed Star plot, the Moyun Vine had appeared first, followed by the Tentacle Beast Emperor. Both monsters had been created by the Intelligent Life Babata, buried deep beneath Fog Island, using a peculiar treasure from the universe called the Wood Crystal. However, Wang Yi was somewhat puzzled. How had the Moyun Vine and the Tentacle Beast Emperor managed to coexist peacefully? Could it be that only after the Moyun Vine had been taken away by Hong did Babata create another Tentacle Beast?

After crossing into this world for so many years, Wang Yi no longer remembered some details of the original plot very clearly. Still, by his estimate, the situation should be about the same.

In other words, there was actually only a Moyun Vine quietly growing on Fog Island right now.

"Actually, the Moyun Vine isn't particularly aggressive. It should be lurking deep underground. If that Ice Mountain Guard hadn't discovered its existence with a special ability and angered it, there probably wouldn't have been so much trouble afterward." Wang Yi thought silently.

Otherwise, Luo Feng, Li Yao, and the others had fought back and forth on the island earlier and gathered Spirit of Grass and Wood to their hearts' content, yet the Moyun Vine had never appeared.

It was not until the Ice Mountain Guard, who possessed the ability to detect special Plant Life, arrived and accidentally enraged the Moyun Vine that it emerged to cause trouble.

"So, if I check in on Fog Island and casually pick a few Spirit of Grass and Wood before leaving, there shouldn't be a problem, right?" Wang Yi looked at the thick white fog below, hoping inwardly.
