Sky Island Survival: I Have a Kunpeng Clone

The size of Kunlun City expanded once again.

The once spacious back reef area is now crammed with all sorts of shacks and tents.

The place was bustling with noise, a cacophony of various accents and local dialects, making He Chuan's head ache.

Seven or eight successful raids brought back various spoils of war.

Weapons, ores, and empty crystals.

And there are nearly five hundred faces in front of me.

Qin Ya was so busy that she barely had time to rest, and her eyes were noticeably darkened.

She used a simple wooden clipboard and a charcoal pencil to register the newlyweds and assign them temporary accommodations and rations.

"Name? What race are you from? What special skills or talents do you have?"

Her voice was already a little hoarse.

I've lost count of how many times I've been asked this.

The responses to her were varied and diverse.

"My name is Stone Mound, I'm from the Rockhoof tribe, I'm strong and good at work!"

"Lina, a Blue Realm person, used to study accounting..."

"Moro, a swamp dweller, knows how to catch fish."

He Chuan rubbed his temples, looking at the chaos.

It felt good to save someone.

But the subsequent resettlement is a real problem.

The Blue Realm people are alright.

Since we are all in the same boat, most of us choose to stay, at least we have someone to rely on.

Those with some combat talent can be added to the combat squad after basic training.

Those with a talent for logistics will naturally complement each other.

Even if you have no connection to anything, you can still learn to manage various things.

The problem lies with the native ethnic groups.

Apart from a few special races like the Mastaka.

Under He Chuan's recruitment, they were able to join Kunlun City.

Most of the common races expressed their desire to go to Mexico City.

They have their own settlements or tribes.

Unfortunately, it was captured by the Black-feathered Crow.

He Chuan expressed his understanding.

Forced relationships are never sweet, and there's not enough food to support idle people in the long run.

With a wave of his hand, he prepared to let those who wanted to leave go on their own once they reached the vicinity of Mo City.

"Lord, won't letting them go like this leak our intelligence?"

Gu Mingyuan pushed up his glasses with some concern.

He's been leading his team in a frantic rush to produce crossbow bolts and leather armor, increasing production several times over, but he's also lost weight.

He Chuan looked at these foreigners and shook his head:

"It's better to guide than to block. We're rescuing people, not to create a bunch of ancestors to worship. Those who want to leave can't be kept. As for intelligence, Black Crow isn't stupid. After having so many teams hijacked, they'll figure out some patterns sooner or later. As long as we're strong enough, we have nothing to fear."

Despite saying that, He Chuan still felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the sudden increase in logistical pressure.

With five hundred mouths to feed, the resources consumed every day are astronomical.

Although we have seized a considerable amount of wealth, we certainly cannot afford to live off our savings.

He opened his attribute panel.

The continuous battles and absorption bring real and tangible improvements.

Health points almost double due to the addition of flesh and blood.

Storm control has also been upgraded to LV3.

The range has been expanded to 350 meters, and the control is more precise.

The size and strength of the Kunpeng have increased significantly, and the area of ​​the reef on its back has expanded considerably, finally making it less crowded.

In addition, several new terms were generated when the raider leaders and large cloud beasts were devoured.

Swift Steps: Slightly increases movement speed and evasion ability.

[Tough Skin: Enhances natural resistance to physical impacts.]

[Energy Affinity: Slightly increases energy recovery speed.]

These are all small, passively enhanced terms; they're better than nothing, and they add up over time.

"At least we have some means to protect ourselves."

He Chuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and ordered Kunpeng to adjust its direction and head towards the sea area where Mo City was located.

First, go and settle those people who want to be sent away.

Another batch of emergency supplies will be replenished.

Especially food and medicine.

The voyage started smoothly.

A vast sea of ​​clouds, with two moons rising and setting in turn.

After the initial panic, the newly arrived residents gradually returned to order.

He Chuan even took the time to use his evolutionary abilities to create more than a dozen giant cloud sea fish, each several meters long.

The fish soup is delicious, and everyone can have a bowl.

Qin Ya held a bowl of hot soup and sipped it slowly, finally regaining some color in her face.

"If only things could stay this peaceful forever," she whispered.

He Chuan smiled but didn't reply.

He knew that Blackwing had suffered such a great loss and would not let it go easily.

However, he did not expect his premonition to come true so quickly.

It's about a day's journey to the waters off Mexico City.

The cloud-winged sparrow, responsible for keeping watch from a high place, was suddenly attacked and fell to the ground.

He Chuan instantly rushed to the edge of the reef and activated his Eagle Eye technique to look around.

A group of black dots appeared on the distant horizon.

They were incredibly fast, hurtling straight toward Kunlun City in a bizarre manner!

As they drew closer, He Chuan could see what they looked like.

That was a creature that caused extreme discomfort.

They generally retain the outline of a human, but are typically over three meters tall.

His skin was matte and jet black.

Their limbs are twisted at abnormal angles, and a pair of huge, tattered fleshy wings grow from their backs.

The most bizarre thing is their heads. They have no facial features, only a huge, crow-like beak that takes up most of their faces!

Black-feathered Raven's attack!

No need to guess, you can tell from its appearance alone.

They fly at extremely high altitudes, far exceeding the normal cruising altitude of the Kunpeng and also exceeding the limits that the Cloudwing Sparrow can reach.

"Height advantage, this is troublesome."

He Chuan's heart sank.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

There were no warnings or communications.

Once they were within a certain distance, these divine beasts suddenly flapped their wings, and the black feathers beneath their wings shot out like powerful crossbow bolts!

With a piercing whooshing sound, it poured down like a torrential rain!

"Enemy attack! All personnel take cover!"

He Chuan roared, his mind racing at the same time.

Storm in control!

LV4 airflow manipulation ability activated at full power!

A violent vortex barrier instantly formed around Kunpeng's body, attempting to deflect the deadly black feathers.

Puff puff!

Most of the black feathers were deflected by the airflow and shot into the surrounding sea of ​​clouds, stirring up plumes of corrosive black smoke.

However, some still managed to penetrate the defenses and were firmly embedded in the reef on Kunpeng's back!

"Ugh!"

A Rockhoof tribesman who couldn't dodge in time was pierced through the shoulder by a black feather. The wound instantly turned black and festered, and he let out a painful scream.

"Drag him back! Quickly!"

Qin Ya's face was deathly pale, but she still forced herself to direct the rescue efforts.

Stoneclaw and his big cats tried to retaliate by throwing javelins or using captured crossbow bolts.

It's simply impossible for it to work.

Even Kunpeng's storm control couldn't touch them at all.

He Chuan raised the Cloud-Splitting Crossbow, channeled the power of the storm into it, and shot an arrow at a divine abomination that was about to swoop down.

The crossbow bolt's speed increased dramatically, striking him precisely in the chest!

clang!

A crisp metallic clang rang out!

The crossbow bolt was deflected!

Only a white spot was left on the other person's chest!

"Such a tough defense?"

He Chuan's pupils contracted.

How can we fight like this?

The divine fiends seem to possess a certain degree of intelligence.

Instead of diving down for close combat, they used their superior height and range to continuously launch Black Feathers for long-range attrition.

The Kunpeng roared angrily, trying to climb higher.

But the higher you go, the greater the pressure from the sea of ​​clouds becomes, and the speed drops sharply.

Those divine monsters seemed largely unaffected, still hovering nimbly in the high sky.

As one side gains and the other loses, the other gains.

Kunlun City's defensive perimeter was constantly being compressed, and casualties began to appear rapidly.

"Cai Cai! It can't rise any higher!"

He Chuan immediately ordered a halt to the ascent.

With air superiority completely lost, neither defense nor attack will be effective, and continuing the stalemate will only lead to certain death.

"Depend on!!"

He Chuan slammed his fist hard against the wooden stake next to him.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his resentment and anger, and made the most rational yet most frustrating decision.

"Everyone hold on tight! Rookie! Dive! Deep dive! Shake them off!"

If you can't beat them, run!

Running away isn't shameful; staying alive is the only thing that matters!

Upon receiving the command, the Kunpeng let out a low roar and plunged its massive head downwards.

Its massive body tore through the surface of the sea of ​​clouds.

Carrying the entire city of Kunlun on the reef, it quickly sank into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds!

boom!

Everything in sight was shrouded in mist, and the light became extremely dim.

The attack from above by the black feathers came to an abrupt halt.

They seemed hesitant about the lower layers of the cloud sea and did not immediately pursue them.

He Chuan stood on the violently shaking reef. Through the thick clouds, he could only see the dark shadows above circling a few times unwillingly before slowly drifting away.

The crisis is temporarily over.

But He Chuan was far from relaxed.

Black-feathered Raven, divine wretch, he'll remember this grudge!
