Chapter 11 Kirishima
The central hinterland of the Australian continent.
Inside a towering mountain range.
In a secluded cave, Lin Yi finished his cultivation in a good mood and slowly exhaled.
"I've finally mastered the first level of 'Mist Sword.' The power of an S-rank secret technique is quite good; the first level increases power output by 0.4 times."
"My strength is not weak among intermediate-level warriors."
I have been here for four days.
He wasn't in a hurry to find Kirishima, but instead searched for it while cultivating and fighting.
Kirishima is right there, it's not going anywhere.
Of course, to avoid alerting the king-level monsters on the continent, Lin Yi kept a low profile in his actions. Every day, he would search 300 kilometers in four directions from his mountain range. If he encountered a monster, he would avoid it if possible, and only kill it if he absolutely had to.
Even so, Lin Yi's spatial ring was filled with various materials from beast general-level monsters, including the corpse of a lord-level monster—the Silver Scale Giant Python.
"No wonder the War Gods all complain about how hard it is to make money. They'd rather kill high-level beast generals than confront monster lords." Lin Yi picked up his water pouch and took a few sips. "This silver-scaled giant python would have been difficult to kill even if three War Gods had attacked together, had it not been for Little Devourer's intervention."
"If it senses something is wrong, it can burrow directly into the ground, leaving even the God of War helpless."
After briefly organizing the monster materials in the ring, Lin Yi stood up and walked out of the mountain cave.
"We've searched the area within 300 kilometers of this mountain range, but haven't found any trace of Kirishima. It's time to leave."
……
Lin Yi leaped suddenly along the cliff edge of one mountain, covering a distance of 180 meters to reach another mountain peak. He then continued running forward, sometimes leaping, sometimes running, and sometimes performing incredible, graceful movements, traversing the mountains as if walking on flat ground.
Half an hour later, they had already left the mountains and headed east.
……
At one point, Lin Yi, who was running fast across the grassland, suddenly stopped and crouched on the cliff of another mountain.
"Um?"
"That must be... Kirishima!"
Lin Yi looked with delight at a lake a hundred miles away, where mist swirled and an island appeared and disappeared in the mist.
A thick fog blanketed the vast lake, where aquatic plants grew abundantly. Strange cries could be heard from time to time, and the surface of the water surged with waves so large that it was impossible to see what was in the lake with the naked eye.
Such a large lake must contain an astonishing number of monsters. Moreover, aquatic monsters have always been known for their difficulty, because the ocean has always been the domain of monsters, and its vast expanse has given birth to many strange and incredibly powerful creatures. Therefore, even the God of War would not be willing to enter the ocean, nor would he easily venture into such a large lake.
Lin Yi also knew that there was a 'great god' in this lake—the Moyun Vine!
In the original work, the plant life form that even Hong, the strongest person on Earth with a domain, had to go to great lengths to overcome is incredibly powerful.
Lin Yi was only there to collect the spirits of plants and trees.
"Little Devourer, stay close to the water's surface and lead me there!"
The golden vines coiled around Lin Yi's waist, like golden serpents, snaked out and shot towards the mist-shrouded lake.
A moment later, the voice of the Life-Eating Vine appeared in Lin Yi's mind.
"Master, it's done."
Lin Yi was overjoyed.
call out!
They quickly stepped onto the golden vines and moved forward.
The lake had very low visibility; even on a bright sunny day, ordinary people could only see three to five meters ahead, and Lin Yi, a mid-level warrior, could only see seventy or eighty meters. All he could see was a vast expanse of white, with golden vines beneath his feet and the turbulent waters below.
"Sizzle!"
"Sizzle!"
A thick bolt of blue lightning suddenly lit up.
Densely packed, streaks of blue lightning instantly illuminated the sky above the lake. These streaks twisted and radiated outwards like electric snakes. Even though Lin Yi remained highly vigilant and managed to dodge the first electric snake, the snakes became increasingly dense, and in the next instant, Lin Yi was struck by it.
There were just too many electric snakes, moving fast and unpredictably.
"not good."
Lin Yi felt a sudden numbness throughout his body, his head spun, and he swayed as if he was about to fall into the lake below.
It's still too much of a stretch for a mid-level warrior to venture into Kirishima.
"Master, be careful."
Fortunately, the Life-Eating Vine sensed something was wrong, and its golden vines instantly snaked out a golden branch and leaf, catching Lin Yi as he fell.
"Phew!"
Lin Yi was jolted awake.
At this moment, he was only eight meters away from the water below. Strange roars rang out, and long, slender monsters with blue scales suddenly leaped out of the water. These long, slender monsters had lightning crackling around their scales, and a very few had a single horn on their heads. One by one, these long, slender monsters jumped out of the water and opened their blood-red mouths to bite!
"Get out of my way!" Lin Yi roared.
In this moment of crisis, he could no longer care about anything else. With a flash of his spatial ring, the black 'Godhood Longsword' appeared in his hand.
Swish~!
Swish~!
Swish~!
The longsword swept across, its light flashing.
The surging lake water was easily torn apart by the spatial folds cut by the divine sword, and one after another, the beast general-level monsters were silently torn apart as if they were made of paper.
The divine sword did not make direct contact with them, but rather tore them apart by using the power of the spatial folds it created.
"That was close, I almost fell into the hands of these beasts."
Lin Yi jumped back onto the golden vines and realized that he was covered in cold sweat on his forehead and back.
Having come to the Australian continent, he had seen his share of grand scenes, witnessing the life-devouring vines and high-level lord-class monsters fighting head-on... He never expected to almost die here today!
If it weren't for the help of the Life-Eating Vine, those monsters would have definitely bitten their own heads off!
"Is this an electric eel-like aquatic monster?"
"Wire eel".
"One-horned electric eel."
At a glance, several electric eel-like monsters were spotted below. There are over a hundred species of fish-like monsters in the world capable of generating electricity, but these monsters live in groups. The ones attacking Lin Yi were a group of electric eel-like aquatic monsters.
Monsters that emit electricity have always been a source of fear for human martial artists.
Powerful electric aquatic monsters, especially when they team up to discharge electricity, can even instantly stun a powerful war god. In a stunned state, even a war god would probably be eaten!
That was a truly unjust death!
"I'm only a mid-level warrior right now, so I have to be careful, very careful. There are thousands of monster races, and many of them have special abilities. One wrong move and I'm doomed." Lin Yi carefully moved forward.
Along the way, you can hear all sorts of strange noises coming from the lake.
We proceeded cautiously along the way.
Half an hour later,
"That must be Kirishima..."
Lin Yi looked ahead, and the white sandy beach of Wudao appeared faintly in front of him.
Before I could even feel joy, the frantic warning from the Life-Eating Vine rang in my mind.
"Master, be careful!!"
For the first time, the Life-Eating Vine showed signs of tension in its voice.
A snake-like object, as thick as a large water vat and over thirty meters long, covered in purple scales, suddenly emerged from the water like a bolt of lightning, drawing an arc and enveloping Lin Yi in less than a hundredth of a second.
