The Shield Sky Shuttle, in particular, was a weapon that even Stellar-level experts coveted.

Now, he only needed a few Spirits of Plants to exchange for it. Only an idiot would quit the Limitless Martial Arts School.

Xu Feng found himself looking forward to the life-or-death adventure on the Australian Continent the day after tomorrow.

At 8:20 a.m. on August 1, 2056, at the plaza outside the Elite Training Camp in Hong Ning Base City.

Six training camp buses stood ready, while ten instructors and 182 trainees had already assembled.

"Huh? They're not showing a movie?" Zhao Ruo looked at the screen ahead in surprise.

In the center of the cabin were three large screens facing different directions, all playing the same video.

"Everyone has finished lunch, so let's begin the preparations." A middle-aged Huaxia man stood beside the screen and pointed at the video. "This is the present-day Australian Continent, arguably the region with the most astonishingly dense monster population in the world. Because the Australian Continent is isolated from the rest of the world's Landmasses, the land monsters here differ somewhat from those on other continents."

"For example, rodent-type monsters and badger-type monsters. Many of their species differ from those in Asia, Europe, and elsewhere."

"Before the Great Nirvana Period... you would have to run far, far away."

All the trainees listened intently. Although they were all geniuses and their usual death rate was not particularly high,

people still died, even when everyone was being careful. If anyone dared to act arrogantly on the Australian Continent, one of the three great danger zones, they would undoubtedly be courting death.

"Of course, King-level Monsters can't be bothered with you unless you provoke them at their doorstep."

"So the greatest threats to you are still monster hordes and Lord-level Monsters."

"In places like Asia and Europe, the large populations mean there are relatively fewer monsters. But the Australian Continent has far too many monsters, resulting in many monster hordes. Therefore, while you are here, pay close attention to monster hordes and Lord-level Monsters." The middle-aged Huaxia man pointed at the screen. "These are the common monster hordes and various Lord-level Monsters on the Australian Continent. Watch the video carefully. It will keep playing."

Many trainees watched closely.

"Senior Brother Shi Jiang, Junior Brother Xu Feng, how about the three of us form a team when we get to the Australian Continent?" Zhao Ruo asked quietly.

"This time, I'm going alone," Xu Feng said.

Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo were far weaker than him. Teaming up with them would only turn him into their babysitter. Besides, if he found Spirits of Plants, there was a chance word would get out. Over a hundred Spirits of Plants were treasures that any faction would desperately seek.

"How boring." Zhao Ruo rubbed her nose.

"Zhao Ruo, there will definitely be people looking to form teams then." Shi Jiang smiled and comforted her.

Suddenly—the entire cabin shook violently. The drinks some trainees were holding flew into the air, while those who had not fastened their seat belts were thrown from their seats.

"What's going on?" Zhao Ruo cried out.

The trainees throughout the cabin were stunned.

"Attention, trainees. Attention, trainees." A clear voice came over the broadcast. "Our passenger aircraft has entered the Australian Continent, but we are still approximately fifty minutes from our destination.

The Australian Continent is famous for its enormous monster population. The number of flying monsters here is equally astonishing, and since passenger aircraft rarely pass through this area, a Flying Monster Swarm attacked our aircraft just now. The aircraft has already left that Flying Monster Swarm behind, so there is no need to worry."

The cabin immediately erupted into noise.

So they had been attacked by a Flying Monster Swarm.

"Those that attack passenger aircraft are Flying Monster Swarms with relatively low intelligence." Shi Jiang said to Xu Feng and Zhao Ruo beside him. "Truly powerful monsters would not dare approach a passenger aircraft."

"Approaching means death." Xu Feng smiled as well.

Passenger aircraft were equipped with airborne laser cannons.

At close range, even King-level Monsters could not evade the terrifying speed of a Light Cannon and would be killed outright.

Forty minutes later.

The plane landed, and the cabin door opened. Numerous trainees and War God instructors from all three levels swiftly exited the passenger aircraft.

"Whew." The moment he stepped outside, Xu Feng felt his view open up.

Before them stretched a vast wilderness covered in green. The vegetation was lush, and vague silhouettes of monsters could be seen in the distance.

"There aren't any city buildings at all."

"It's complete wilderness."

"Finding somewhere to rest at night is going to be troublesome." Many trainees began discussing it.

A Black War God instructor spoke loudly in Chinese. "All trainees, use your communication watches to record the detailed coordinates of your current location. It is now 3:15 p.m. on August 1. Your task is to survive on the Australian Continent for twenty-eight days. At noon on the twenty-ninth, our passenger aircraft will return all trainees to Hong Ning Base City from this exact location.

"Your life-or-death adventure officially begins now."

"See you in twenty-eight days."

Xu Feng bid farewell to the friends he knew.

Aside from a brand-new SS-class Combat Suit, six SSS-class throwing knives strapped to each calf, and an SS-class Absolute Shadow Battle Saber on his back, Xu Feng had also specially prepared a Series 9 Hexagonal Shield for emergencies.

Additionally, his backpack contained two more identical backpacks, as well as several special weapons Xu Feng had specifically prepared to harvest Willow Wood Hearts.

His intentions were obvious. Besides gathering the Thousand-Year Willow Wood Hearts and other Spirits of Plants on that small island, he also intended to go on a massive slaughter.

The last time he had been in Wilderness Zone 003, Xu Feng had suffered from not having enough backpack space. Even now, ordinary monster materials worth hundreds of millions remained hidden somewhere in Wilderness Zone 003, and he had never found the time to retrieve them.

The climate on the Australian Continent was almost the opposite of Huaxia's. It was August now, with Huaxia between summer and autumn, while the Australian Continent was in a warm season of flourishing grass and singing birds, with a pleasant temperature of around twenty-four or twenty-five degrees.

In such a climate, monster activity was even more frequent.

"According to my memories, Luo Feng was chased by Li Yao before eventually reaching Mist Island, where Willow Wood Hearts and other Spirits of Plants grew. So for now, I should first find the Monkey Mountain Range where Luo Feng initially hunted the King Kong Ape."

As Xu Feng walked cautiously, he made his plans in secret.

"It would be best if I could use the coordinates of Monkey Mountain Range to find the island where the Spirits of Plants grow. Once my cultivation improves again, I can come back out for a massive hunt."

If he went monster hunting now, Xu Feng would not fear even Lord-level Monsters, but it would delay precious time.

Wouldn't raising his cultivation another step before hunting be like sharpening the axe before cutting wood? By then, perhaps even King-level Monsters would pose almost no danger!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xu Feng's elusive figure was like a gust of wind, racing across the wilderness at nearly more than three hundred meters per second and treating the monsters along the way as if they did not exist.

If any clueless monster came to block his way, a throwing knife would immediately shoot through the air. After bringing up a spray of blood, it would automatically return to Xu Feng's calf. Xu Feng himself never slowed his pace, continuing onward while watching and searching for places where many apes could be found.
