Sky Island Survival: I Have a Kunpeng Clone

The message from Mo Jiu was brief, but it startled He Chuan.

The main force of the Blackwing Raven has confirmed its departure from the Ravenbone Mountain Sky Islands and is moving northwest along the "Silent Cloud Corridor" route. Their target is suspected to be the "Rust Valley" Sky Islands. They are moving at a moderate speed and are expected to arrive in five to seven days.

[This unit is escorting a large number of life-response units, consistent with the characteristics of the Blue Realm people. For informational purposes only.]

[Risk Warning: The Blackwing's main force is massive, estimated to number over three thousand, and is equipped with large war cloud beasts and siege weapons. Direct confrontation is strongly discouraged.]

He Chuan stared at the string of information, his fingers unconsciously tapping the back of his hand.

Should we go?

According to his understanding, Bai Le is very likely to be there.

Rust-eroded canyon.

I've heard Mo Qiqi mention that place before.

It is a group of floating islands rich in metal deposits, but with a harsh environment.

What are Black-feathered Crows doing there?

Is it for resource extraction? Or is it for a place needed for sacrificial rites?

"The boss?"

Qin Ya rubbed her eyes and sat up. The thin blanket slipped off her shoulders, revealing her smooth skin and alluring curves.

Seeing He Chuan's serious expression, she immediately became much more alert.

"What happened?"

He Chuan briefly explained the intelligence.

Qin Ya's face paled, and she instinctively gripped the corner of the blanket tightly:

"More than three thousand people, and war cloud beasts. Should we... should we go?"

"Yes, of course I'll go."

He Chuan's voice was resolute.

"But not to go and die. We need to be prepared; at the very least, our mobility should ensure a safe evacuation."

He walked to the edge of the floating island and looked out at the white-tinged sea of ​​clouds and the horizon.

"Before, we focused on farming and developing our resources; now, we need to mass produce units."

……

The city of Kunlun was awakened by a series of urgent bell tolls in the early morning.

This thing is a newly assembled timekeeping device, responsible for regulating the islanders' rest schedule.

The sound wasn't particularly pleasant, but it was extremely penetrating.

All residents, whether they were Blue Realm people or newly joined Tree Spirits and Mastaka, were summoned to the central square.

Even Yunzhi and her sisters floated on the edge of the sea of ​​clouds, looking over curiously.

He Chuan stood on a makeshift wooden platform, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below, each with a different expression.

Having established his authority previously.

At this moment, he was indeed a city lord in all but name.

"Enough with the small talk," He Chuan said, getting straight to the point. "We've received concrete intelligence that the main force of the Black Feather Ravens is moving, and their target may be holding our compatriots captive. I've decided to follow them and find an opportunity to rescue them."

A suppressed gasp of surprise immediately rose from the audience.

The Black-feathered Raven's fearsome reputation is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Moreover, most of them were survivors who had narrowly escaped death at the hands of the other side.

"Of course, we're not sending them to their deaths like this." He Chuan raised his voice. "From today onwards, Kunlun City is entering a state of war! All resources will be prioritized for military construction! Everyone will receive basic military training according to their assignments!"

He looked at Gu Mingyuan:

"Old Gu, you take your men and speed up the production of weapons and armor, prioritizing the patrol teams and the soon-to-be-formed combat squads. I need at least thirty sets of standard crossbow bolts and twenty sets of light armor. Blueprints and materials will be supplied to you first."

Gu Mingyuan adjusted his glasses, without making any excuses:

"No problem, Lord! As long as the materials keep up, assembly line production won't be an issue!"

"Stone Claw!"

"exist!"

The leopard-print cat stepped forward, its voice booming.

"From today onwards, your squad will be the instructors, responsible for everyone's basic close-combat training. Including myself."

He Chuan pointed to himself.

"I need to get familiar with real combat as soon as possible."

Stoneclaw grinned, revealing sharp canines: "It's my pleasure! Lord, my training might be a little painful."

"If you're afraid of the pain, you won't come."

He Chuan smiled, then looked at the Blue Realm people who looked fearful.

"In addition, select twenty agile and sharp-eyed individuals from the Blue Realm to form a long-range shooting squad. You will first lead them in physical and discipline training."

"clear!"

He Chuan looked at Yun Zhi one last time:

"Yunzhi, please continue to do what you do best, and the logistical support will depend on you."

Yunzhi nodded gently:

"Leave it to us, our benefactor."

Once the mobilization order was issued, the entire city of Kunlun sprang into action like a wound-up machine.

Gu Mingyuan and his small workshop team practically lived in the newly built "blacksmith shop".

The simple machine tool hummed, and the furnace fire burned day and night.

He Chuan then fulfilled his promise.

The first person to enter the temporarily designated "training field" was the one who entered.

Stoneclaw's training methods are simple and brutal, full of the straightforward style of orcs.

There are no fancy moves.

It only includes the most basic blocking, dodging, power generation, and attacking.

"Boss, watch closely! The power starts from the ground, passes through your waist and abdomen, and flows through your arms!"

Stoneclaw demonstrates a simple straight punch.

His muscles bulged, creating a gust of evil wind.

He Chuan tried to imitate his movements, but it always felt awkward.

His physical attributes at LV5 are not bad, but he lacks systematic power generation techniques.

"No! Your waist! Is your waist dead?"

Stone Claw slapped He Chuan hard on the lower back without any hesitation, the force of which made him stagger.

"Again!"

"Keep your footing! Keep up the pace! Do you want to be a sitting duck?"

After an afternoon of training, He Chuan was covered in bruises and drenched in sweat.

The effect is also very obvious.

His ability to control storms allows him to train and fight in a more effortless way.

On the other hand, the twenty Blue Realm people selected for the remote squad were also having a tough time.

Stoneclaw's subordinates had no idea what it meant to cherish and pity a beautiful woman.

Following He Chuan's instructions, standing at attention, running with weights, and practicing formations made these people, who were used to modern life, complain bitterly.

Moreover, unlike my previous life, I can't just give up here.

The previous costs were already high enough.

In his spare time, He Chuan began to make full use of his long-suppressed "infinite evolution" talent.

He first went to the wood-fired gas generator.

[Evolvable object detected: Wood-fired gas generator. Current number of evolutionary paths: 2.]

[Evolutionary Route 1: High-Efficiency Gas Generator]

[Evolutionary Route Two: Small-Scale Hollow Crystal Power Core]

He Chuan chose route two without hesitation.

He doesn't lack air crystals now; stable and efficient energy is the key.

[Evolve a small-scale Void Crystal Power Core, consuming 50 Void Crystals and 10 Refined Metals.]

A faint light flashed by.

The bulky generator was reduced in size by half.

The core area was replaced by a crystal that shimmered with a stable blue light.

The external interface is connected by several silver conduits.

It runs almost silently.

With electricity, Gu Mingyuan's side was like a tiger with wings.

Several small cutting machines and drilling machines were quickly produced, greatly increasing production efficiency.

He Chuan picked up a newly forged standard iron sword.

[Evolvable object detected: Iron Sword. Current number of evolutionary paths: three.]

[Evolution Route 1: Sharp Iron Sword]

[Evolutionary Route Two: Tough Iron Sword]

[Evolution Route 3: Gale Iron Sword]

He Chuan chose three.

Mass-produced weapons.

Having some special effects always gives you an advantage.

The light of evolution flashed continuously.

Batch after batch of "Swift Wind Iron Swords" were produced and distributed to patrol teams.

Enchanted weapons already give a significant advantage in battles against ordinary soldiers.

In terms of armor, He Chuan chose an evolutionary path that prioritizes strengthening toughness and reducing weight.

While ensuring that the soldiers have adequate protection.

It won't be too bulky.

What He Chuan was most looking forward to was the evolution of the Cloud Beast.

His gaze first fell upon the few unruly steeds.

[Evolvable creature detected: Windstrider. Current evolutionary path count: two.]

Evolution Route 1: Cloud Chaser ()

[Evolution Route Two: Scaled War Steed]

After a moment's thought, He Chuan transformed the lead horse, which had been named "Chasing the Wind," into "Chasing the Clouds Steed."

The other three evolved into [Scaled War Steeds].

He needs a cavalry force that combines reconnaissance and harassment with frontal assault capabilities.

In the era of cold weapons, a cavalry unit was equivalent to a tank unit, possessing the power to rewrite the course of the battlefield.

The evolved Wind Chaser has a more streamlined body, with subtle air currents swirling beneath its four hooves, and its neighing is high-pitched and soars into the clouds.

The three scaled warhorses, on the other hand, resembled heavily armored chariots, exuding a powerful aura.

Next, He Chuan evolved several of the strongest Cloud Camel Beasts into "Heavy Armor Camel Beasts".

It has a stronger carrying capacity, and side panels can be added.

It can be used as a mobile shelter or a base for a small catapult.

Even those cloud-winged finches.

He Chuan didn't let them off the hook either, choosing an evolutionary path that would increase their flight speed and endurance, allowing them to have a wider detection range.

The importance of scouts in such situations is self-evident.

In just two or three days, the military strength of Kunlun City expanded at a visible speed.

As the sun set, He Chuan looked at the soldiers training and the craftsmen forging weapons, and a surge of pride welled up in his heart.

The feeling of massing troops is fucking addictive.

Now, all that's missing is an opportunity.

"Mo Jiu".

He Chuan silently recited in his heart.

"I'm here, Mr. He Chuan."

"We're planning the best route to the Rusty Canyon, let's set off."
