Several more days passed.
Shen Changchuan turned into a streak of Escape Light and departed from the mortal nation known as Chen State.
Clouds swept swiftly beneath his feet.
The gale around him was kept at bay by his mana.
As Shen Changchuan sped onward, he gazed toward the horizon ahead, his brow slightly furrowed.
"I had thought about it wrong."
He murmured softly, deep in thought.
This reaction naturally meant that this trip had not gone smoothly.
That was because he had overlooked one matter—the living environment of the Southern Yue Land did not permit the survival of ordinary hunters, fishermen, and the like!
The reason was simple.
Most of the Southern Yue Land remained undeveloped.
The nations gathered and established by mortal humans had developed and occupied only a tiny fraction of the land.
And even within these already developed nations, in those areas where mortals could live and multiply, dangers still lurked everywhere in the wilderness!
For example,
mountain forests hid low-level wild beasts, venomous insects, and even miasmic poison forests that could easily devour low-level cultivators.
Rivers, lakes, and seas also contained vicious creatures such as low-level water ghosts and demon ghosts.
These low-level demon creatures reproduced quickly. Killing them yielded no worthwhile materials, and the mountain forests, rivers, lakes, and seas covered vast expanses. Even high-level cultivators could not wipe them all out in a short time.
In the end, they could only leave them be.
After all, once these various low-level demon creatures left familiar environments such as the forests they depended on, even a few farmers with iron pitchforks could spear them to death. There was no need to care too much.
Thus, in the wilderness of mortal nations in the Southern Yue Land, whether in the mountains and forests or upon rivers
