Sky Island Survival: I Have a Kunpeng Clone

Night completely enveloped the sea of ​​clouds, and the two moons cast their cool, clear light.

The dozen or so newly joined survivors were temporarily housed in the newly expanded open space.

Several simple tents provided barely enough shelter from the wind and rain.

He Chuan stood on a high reef, overlooking the entire camp.

After arranging her affairs, Qin Ya quietly walked to his side.

"Everything is settled for now. They've accepted the preliminary rules for contribution, and we can start assigning tasks tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work. It must have been quite a lot of pressure with so many people coming all at once."

Qin Ya turned slightly to the side and shook her head:

"It's alright. It's just that some people seem to be very obedient..."

He Chuan's gaze swept across the camp below, where several figures sat in a corner, their eyes darting around as they whispered among themselves.

"It's normal. They've just gone through a major ordeal and are in an unfamiliar environment. It's not surprising that they have their own thoughts. Just keep an eye on them."

"Hmm," Qin Ya responded softly, subconsciously moving closer to He Chuan. "That Gu Mingyuan is quite enthusiastic."

"That's how technical people are; they know what to do and when to do it."

He Chuan smiled, not really bothered.

"Tomorrow, we'll prioritize setting up his work environment. If we can get the firearms out, our sense of security will increase significantly."

In the Eternal Void, technological creations are not the mainstream, but they do exist.

The Moyan tribe is a prime example of high technology.

However, due to their racial characteristics, many races are not good at developing technology.

Not all survivors possess the ability to climb Sky Island and use Blueprints for technology.

This often leads to the situation where it's more effective to simply increase one's own level and strength, or to tame a powerful cloud beast.

But He Chuan is different.

He has Kunpeng to provide him with massive resources and mobility.

It also has the ability to evolve infinitely as a backup.

They have plenty of confidence in conducting scientific research.

Just then, Yunzhi floated down and landed between the two.

"My benefactor, Sister Qin Ya. The sisters have spotted a small group of 'luminescent jellyfish' passing through the shallow sea of ​​clouds nearby. Their bioluminescent sacs are excellent for nighttime illumination. Shall we collect some?"

He Chuan looked at Yun Zhi. Her beautiful face looked even more holy in the moonlight, yet still approachable.

Is it safe?

"It's very simple."

Yun Zhi smiled faintly, waved her hand lightly, and a wisp of cloud ventured into the sea of ​​clouds below.

A moment later, it came up carrying several fist-sized blue jellyfish.

"They are very gentle, and their light can last for several days without fading."

"Great stuff! Gather more so we won't have to work in the dark at night. Also, see if we can tame or breed them."

"I'll give it a try."

Yunzhi nodded, her figure gracefully dissipating as she merged into the sea of ​​clouds to organize her sisters' work.

Qin Ya watched Yun Zhi's departing figure, her tone tinged with emotion:

"The Cloud Demon's abilities are truly convenient; it's almost omnipotent in construction, exploration, combat, and support."

"After all, they are nature's darlings. Besides, they are them, not us."

He Chuan withdrew his gaze and walked back to his residence.

"Let's go, we should also plan out tomorrow's work."

……

The next day, as the rising sun dyed the sea of ​​clouds a golden-red, Kunlun City had already awakened.

Under Qin Ya's arrangement, the new residents were divided into several groups.

Farmers assigned to medicinal herb fields and farmland also had to keep an eye on livestock areas.

A group of strong and healthy young men were responsible for handling timber and stone to build new dwellings.

Otherwise, even if the Kunpeng could block some of the cold air on its own, it would be difficult to endure for long due to the temperature difference between day and night.

The remaining girls were responsible for mending clothes and preparing ingredients.

Gu Mingyuan was a man of action. As soon as it was light, he would squat in a corner of the "industrial zone" and start hammering away at the tool table.

Very smart.

Knowing how to maximize one's value in this empty island.

He Chuan, along with Yun Zhi, began to make more detailed plans.

The area includes residential areas, planting areas, livestock areas, industrial areas, and a residential area that may be expanded in the future, and even a small square has been reserved.

Of course, it was just setting up a framework and using some gravel and clay to pave a simple road.

Torches were set up at intervals of several meters along both sides of the road to provide lighting at night.

The flow of time in the Eternal Void is rather random.

Experienced floating islands will establish fixed work and rest times to ensure the well-being of the islanders.

All tasks are proceeding in an orderly manner.

With the addition of more than a dozen people, the efficiency has increased several times compared to before.

New, sturdier sheds were erected, and the fences around the medicinal herb fields were neatly trimmed.

The plants collected previously were also processed into corresponding products.

Especially a plant called the oil lamp flower.

It can easily extract plant oil.

He Chuan can finally try to cook the dishes he's been longing for.

However, there are always undercurrents beneath the calm surface.

During breaks, when distributing food.

A group of people gathered together, munching on bread and potatoes while sizing up He Chuan and glancing at Qin Ya not far away.

The leader was named Chen Feng.

His talent is D-level strength enhancement.

Originally a key member of the small team, he inevitably became arrogant.

Now that he's living under someone else's roof, he has to abide by some contribution system and do what he considers "odd jobs," and he's been holding back a lot of anger for a long time.

He felt that He Chuan was just lucky to have ended up on this drifting island by accident, and that his own strength might not be that great.

That Qin Ya is just a pretty face.

With only a few big cats and little cats, how will they deal with the Black Feather Crows when they encounter them?

"Brother Feng, are we just going to be laborers forever?"

A skinny, monkey-like young man complained in a low voice.

"What's the rush?"

Chen Feng tore into the food in his hand, his eyes filled with malice.

"Let's see how things go first. This place is very strange, and those cloud demons are not easy to deal with. Find an opportunity to find out more about that kid."

Their whispers, which they thought were discreet, were unaware that they were on the back of the Kunpeng, something that could not escape He Chuan's perception.

He Chuan sneered inwardly, but did not immediately retaliate.

Managing a nascent group requires more than just appeasement; sometimes it's necessary to establish authority.

He was waiting for the right opportunity.

after eating.

He Chuan decided to officially reveal the "true face" of Kunlun City to all the new residents.

It serves both to reassure the public and to deter those who seek to harm others.

He gathered everyone in a relatively flat area in the center of the reef.

"Everyone."

He Chuan's voice was calm, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Welcome to Kunlun City. I know you may still have doubts and anxieties. Now, I'll show you what this land beneath our feet really is."

Before anyone could react, He Chuan had a sudden thought.

boom!

The ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled, as if the entire floating island had come to life.

Then, amidst the horrified, shocked, and incredulous gazes of everyone present,

The surrounding "ground" began to slowly rise.

A massive bluish-gray "rock wall" rises up.

It revealed the tough skin beneath, covered with mysterious patterns.

The enormous head of the Kunpeng slowly rose from the sea of ​​clouds, resembling a small mountain.

A powerful pressure of life force, mixed with a faint aura of a dragon, spread out.

It made everyone feel suffocated and their legs went weak.

"This, this is..."

"The island is alive?!"

"My God! What kind of monster is this?!"

Exclamations and screams rose and fell.

Gu Mingyuan adjusted his glasses, trying his best to maintain a respectable appearance.

Chen Feng and his group turned deathly pale.

He Chuan stood at the edge of the Kunpeng's raised head, his clothes fluttering, his voice carried throughout the entire reef by the air currents:

"As you can see, Kunlun City is not a fixed floating island, but a living entity! Even when facing raiders, our safety is guaranteed!"

His gaze swept over the silent crowd below.

The gaze lingered on Chen Feng and his companions for a moment, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.

"I want everyone to understand that here, effort will be rewarded, and loyalty will be protected. But any behavior that endangers the safety of Kunlun City or undermines unity..."

He Chuan didn't continue.

But that has already explained everything.

The demonstration had an immediate and noticeable effect.

After that, the efficiency of the work more than doubled.

By the time work was finished, Kunlun City had already taken shape.

The sheds are neat and orderly, the medicinal herb fields are thriving, and the cloud-borne animals in the livestock area have settled down.

He Chuan, Qin Ya, and Yun Zhi stood on high ground, looking at this thriving scene.

"It's finally starting to look like something."

Qin Ya breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on her face.

Yunzhi nodded slightly:

"The sisters all love the lively atmosphere here."

He Chuan was about to say something when he suddenly frowned and looked toward the tent area at the edge of the camp.

Several little mice were gathered together, doing something unknown.

A cold glint flashed in He Chuan's eyes.
