A trip to Australia, part two
Vitas and his group acted in a relatively upright manner, maintaining a neutral order and not interfering unless provoked. Although life was difficult, they still held onto hope, were quite humane, and were relatively united. They included people of all races, including Black, White, and Asian, and there was no discrimination among them.
This combination was exemplary even before the apocalypse, let alone in the post-apocalyptic world where order had completely collapsed.
Their food mainly consisted of wild vegetables and edible scraps they could find in the city, as well as monster meat. However, most of the monster meat they ate was leftovers from other monsters, which they then scavenged and feasted on.
Very few of them actually hunted the animals themselves. Originally, their team had more than twenty people, plus two warriors from Vitas.
But right now, Vitas is the only martial artist among them, Beginner Warrior, which is why he is the leader of the group.
In the apocalypse, besides loyalty, strength is the absolute factor that makes people respect you.
After confirming their character, Chen Mo did not linger. He left them a jade slip containing three martial arts techniques, all of which were at the second tier.
"Consider this jade slip my gift to you. To use it, place it near your foreheads. Also, using this as a center, keep these coordinates as follows: 200 meters at six o'clock, 260 meters at seven o'clock, 5 o'clock... Remember these coordinates. There are a few monsters I killed there; that should be enough for you to hold out for a while longer."
After Chen Mo and Li Shiyin left, Vitas carefully brought the jade slip close to his forehead, and his expression quickly changed.
"This, this, this~~"
"Uncle Vitas, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Vitas exclaimed excitedly, "They must be sent by God to save us! Just put this on your foreheads and you'll see! It's kung fu, People's Republic of China kung fu! It contains training methods for People's Republic of China kung fu!"
Everyone else was skeptical, but after reading the contents, they were all extremely excited.
In the apocalypse, power is the most crucial element. With power, one has the means to survive.
"Oh, right, Uncle Vitas, meat, monster meat. The people just said there's a fresh monster carcass nearby."
Aili suddenly shouted.
Vitas slapped his forehead in alarm. "Oh, shit, I almost forgot something so important! Go, go, go, kids, grab your weapons, it's time to hunt! If we miss this chance, we'll be eating wild vegetables and carrion again!"
And so, Chen Mo took Li Shiyin to Melbourne for nearly a week. The remaining human force in Melbourne now numbered only a few thousand, about four or five thousand, and people were dying every day.
If Chen Mo had arrived two or three years later, the humans here would probably have been completely wiped out.
However, although there were four or five thousand people, Chen Mo only sponsored a few dozen, less than a hundred.
Hopefully, they can grow up quickly, so that they may be able to hold out until human power sets foot on this land again.
Afterwards, Chen Mo took Li Shiyin to other cities in Australia, including Sydney and the Gold Coast.
Their situation is similar to this one, with a small number of humans barely surviving beneath the city's ruins.
It took Chen Mo almost three months to travel to all the human settlements in Australia. By then, the number of humans who had received Chen Mo's assistance had reached more than six hundred.
Only then did Chen Mo begin to venture deep into the forbidden lands of humans, into the lairs of various monsters.
It's only been two years since the apocalypse, and King-level monsters, which are Planetary Level monsters, have already begun to appear among the monsters here.
It is equivalent to the Golden Core Stage in the Immortal Cultivation System, and is not much different from ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators.
An ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivator could win, but killing him would be very difficult.
Of course, Chen Mo is not an ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivator. His true combat strength is stronger than most Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. In addition, he has mastered the power of space, so even if he were several levels higher, he would still be invincible.
Chen Mo Chen Mo n't actively seek out monsters. He's equally ruthless towards those monsters that don't know their own mortality; he kills and eats them as he pleases, even King-level monsters are no exception, they're all annihilated in Chen Mo's eyes.
However, Chen Mo wouldn't go out of his way to hunt them down for no reason.
Sometimes the difference between people of the same level is greater than that between a person and a dog.
As for saving the world, let's leave that to the humans of this world. Chen Mo is just a passerby and has no obligation to protect this world for them.
Let things take their natural course.
And just like that, more than five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Shiyin has also grown into a graceful young woman.
At just twelve years old, her figure was already beginning to take shape. Her Innate Charm Bone and captivating charm were starting to emerge.
Two years ago, Chen Mo began teaching her cultivation. In just two years, she had already become Mid Foundation Establishment cultivator. Moreover, she didn't even need Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Pill when she Foundation Establishment; she naturally achieved it without any bottlenecks.
That's not all; what's more, she achieved a perfect Foundation Establishment — the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
Just as she Foundation Establishment, the Heavenly Dao directly bestowed upon her a divine innate ability: Illusory Yin Cold Flame.
This is a supernatural power that combines the abilities of cold air, fire, and Genjutsu. It is extremely powerful. Even Chen Mo did not dare to take this supernatural power head-on. With this move, Li Shiyin already has the ability to fight beyond her level.
Chen Mo immediately became envious, saying, "Your talent is extraordinary, you're amazing."
Furthermore, Li Shiyin awakened her Spiritual Force when she drew in Qi, and within just two years, her Spirit Reader power had reached the level of High-level War God.
Moreover, according to her, the spiritual wellspring in her mind was as large as a star, showing no signs of running out, and she hadn't even used up one ten-thousandth of its power.
Chen Mo was completely baffled by her talent.
Based on Li Shiyin's current situation, her Immortal Cultivation System will not encounter any bottlenecks before reaching the fourth-tier Spirit Transformation Stage.
The Spirit Reader System energy source in her mind might be enough to support her breakthrough to the fourth-order Star Level, and possibly even the Universe Level.
With this kind of talent, Luo Feng, the protagonist of the original novel, is really not even as good as her toes.
Luo Feng's spiritual source was merely enough to support his cultivation to the level of Invincible War God, and even that was already a genius that only appears once every five thousand years.
What about Li Shiyin?
With talent like that, probably no one like him will appear again in fifty million years. If he hadn't died young, there would be no Luo Feng.
But then again, with that kind of talent, how could she not die young?
If it weren't for Chen Mo, who's a cheat code, there would be absolutely no chance of saving her on Earth right now.
"Brother Mo, are we just going straight back to China? Shouldn't we go see Vitas, Haug, and Alice? They're all your followers now, and they all serve you as their master."
Chen Mo tapped Li Shiyin's head with a stern face.
"How many times have I told you to call me Master?"
"Okay, Brother Mo, I understand, Brother Mo, I'll definitely do it next time, Brother Mo."
Li Shiyin: I know I'm wrong, but I just won't change, hehe.
Chen Mo was also helpless; he had originally been considering whether to accept the person as a disciple or as a furnace for cultivation.
However, after making up his mind to take her as his disciple, he later discovered that she seemed to be defying her master and disrespecting her ancestors.
I've told her so many times, but she just won't change.
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. Innate Charm Bone, with an innate seductive charm, and she keeps tempting me. Who could resist that?
As for Vitas, Haug, and Alice, they were the leaders of the survivors that Chen Mo had sponsored in Australia.
With the cultivation techniques given to them by Chen Mo, the three of them successfully broke through to the Wargod Realm in less than three years, and then unified all the survivors in the major cities.
Currently, there are three large human settlements in Australia: the Canberra Settlement, the Melbourne Settlement, and the Sydney Settlement. These three individuals are the leaders of these settlements, each with several thousand people, barely managing to be self-sufficient.
The populations of the other cities have also largely migrated to these three major human settlements, which can be considered the last sparks of humanity in Australia.
The three major gathering places together have more than double-digit numbers of Wargod. Among them, Alice is High-level War God, while Vitas and Haug are Intermediate Wargod. The others are their deputies, who are also Wargod. Including the three of them, there are a total of fourteen Wargod, all of whom were once humans who received assistance from Chen Mo, and their character is acceptable.
Furthermore, due to this relationship, their interactions were relatively harmonious. The three major settlements were allies, helping and supporting each other.
There wasn't much internal power struggle within the settlement; everyone generally prioritized the overall situation.
Although the settlement was built, their lives were not easy. Every few months, a certain number of beast tides would attack the settlement, and each time dozens or even hundreds of people would die.
Chen Mo had also visited their three major settlements and left a killing array in each settlement. When a King-level monster, that is, Planetary Level monster, attacks a settlement, it will be automatically activated to kill the Planetary Level monster.
Of course, they can activate it themselves, but they only have one chance. Once it's used, it's gone. This is a life-saving measure for them, as Chen Mo warned them on the spot.
They would never resort to this deadly move unless their settlement was breached.
That is precisely why they are willing to serve as their master.
Five years, five years have passed.
Over the past five years, Chen Mo has taken Li Shiyin to every corner of Australia, but he hasn't even seen a trace of the legacy of Chen Mo Hu Yanbo, the Master of Yunmo Star.
Chen Mo Chen Mo had searched every inch of Australia for the legendary Mist Island, but still couldn't find a suitable place. He had personally explored every lake, river, canyon, and undercurrent, but to no avail.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case.
Although Babata doesn't have the ability to directly interfere with Earth, he has been monitoring the entire planet.
If Chen Mo himself is not qualified, that's understandable. After all, Chen Mo is Immortal Cultivator, not a Spirit Reader, and the two are very different, since they are not from the same system. Babata's belief that he is not qualified to accept Hu Yanbo's inheritance is also understandable.
But isn't Li Shiyin with me right now?
Even if Hu Yanbo were alive, he would be tempted to take her as his disciple because of her talent. Not to mention Babata, even if he didn't actively seek her out, he would do everything he could to get Li Shiyin close to the spaceship.
Afterwards, Chen Mo also had his own guesses, because of himself.
Perhaps it was because he had been by Li Shiyin's side the whole time that Babata hadn't revealed his presence.
Another possibility is that Li Shiyin learned cultivation techniques from Chen Mo, and Babata decided to abandon this promising talent for some reason.
Chen Mo felt that these were the two most likely reasons.
Another possibility is that Li Shiyin's strength was insufficient, which is why Babata did not attract Li Shiyin. However, Chen Mo immediately ruled out this possibility, as Babata is Intelligent Life with independent capabilities, not a mechanical artificial being.
Sometimes, ability has to give way to talent, Babata couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
But if I don't have it, I don't have it. If I have it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's fate.
It's time to go back to China.
Five years have passed, and I wonder how Lin Yaodong and the China are doing now. Anyway, it certainly won't be worse than the original story.
After all, Lin Yaodong was there. When Chen Mo left, he gave Lin Yaodong a lot of martial arts techniques. Some things didn't need to be said; Lin Yaodong naturally knew how to handle them.
More than five years have passed, and I have set foot on this land again.
"Brother Mo, I want to go home."
Li Shiyin's tone was noticeably dejected, lacking her usual vitality.
"You're so disrespectful! I've told you countless times, call me Master! I also need to find someone, so let's part ways here."
After saying that, Chen Mo disappeared without looking back, his body vanishing in a few flashes of light.
Li Shiyin stomped her legs in anger.
"You know perfectly well what I mean, can't you pamper yourself like you always do today? I should have never become your worthless apprentice."
Li Shiyin: "Hmph, blockhead."
After venting her anger, Li Shiyin also steered her flying sword in another direction.
Li Shiyin has had a photographic memory since childhood, and her intelligence has always been above average, so finding her way home is not difficult for her.
Chen Mo wasn't worried about Li Shiyin alone. She had single-handedly killed a King-level monster in Australia and won easily. In addition, Chen Mo had left her some life-saving treasures. As long as she didn't do anything reckless, nothing would happen to her.
That side.
Lin Yaodong used the alias Donglin on Earth.
Lin Yaodong has already broken through the Heart Blade level and reached the highest level of the Heart Blade martial arts technique. As for the path ahead, he will have to figure it out for himself.
It was after breaking through the third level of the Heart Blade that Lin Yaodong's Warrior System also broke through to the Planetary Level, and his Soul Master System also reached level 70. He was just one Soul Ring away from becoming Soul Saint.
However, after experiencing the power of the Planetary Level of the Warrior System, Lin Yaodong, like Chen Mo, also felt contempt for the Soul Master System.
Soul Master are really too weak; they simply can't compare to other systems.
The Soul Master System is indeed quite weak, but it's not as bad as Lin Yaodong imagined. It's just that the Warrior System is too strong, which is why Lin Yaodong has this feeling.
