Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 9 Australian Continent

Around 10 o'clock.

In Mingyue Residential Area, at Lin Yi's villa, two staff members arrived carrying two suitcases.

"Mr. Lin Yi, these are the manuals and equipment you purchased. You can open them using your fingerprint."

Lin Yi took them, and then ran his fingers over the tops of the two alloy boxes one by one.

"drop!"

"Fingerprint verification successful."

A synthesized electronic voice sounded, and then two alloy boxes opened.

Inside an alloy box was a book about one centimeter thick, and on top of the book were two CDs.

The other, larger alloy box contained the combat uniform, backpack, watch, and other equipment that Lin Yi had purchased.

"I have the fog sword and the equipment." Lin Yi looked at the items in the two alloy boxes and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Lin Yi, please check if the items are correct. Once you've confirmed, please sign here."

The delivery man smiled, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yi. A martial artist like Lin Yi couldn't afford the Mist Sword.

After confirming that everything was correct, Lin Yi signed the document directly.

"Mr. Lin Yi, I'm sure you know about some taboos after purchasing the manual, right?" the delivery man said with a smile.

Lin Yi nodded; of course he knew this rule.

This must not be shared with outsiders.

After inspecting the goods, the delivery man left.

"Lin Yi".

Just as Lin Yi was about to enter the room to practice with the manual, a voice rang out.

Lin Yi turned his head and saw that the person who came was Wu Tong, the instructor of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

"Uncle Wu," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I just saw the delivery guy at headquarters. Did you buy something?" Wu Tong asked with a smile.

"Mm." Lin Yi nodded.

"The Fog Sword?" Wu Tong's eyes flashed with disbelief as he saw the words on the cover of the manual in Lin Yi's hand.

"You, you can actually afford these?" These secret manuals are very expensive, and they are strictly controlled by major forces around the world.

"Anyway, it's not my money that's being spent; the secret manual is using the free quota my supervisor gave me before," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I see." Wu Tong nodded.

"By the way, Uncle Wu Tong, there's something I'd like to ask you," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"What is it?" Wu Tong nodded with interest. "I will do my best to help you, this great genius."

Lin Yi said earnestly, "I'm about to venture into the wilderness to cultivate, so I'd appreciate it if Uncle Wu Tong could keep an eye on my home..."

Wu Tong understood Lin Yi's meaning. This wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a request. The wilderness was always dangerous, and many martial artists would ask him or their instructors to keep an eye on their families before setting off.

Without a second thought, Wu Tong nodded in agreement, patted his chest, and assured him, "Lin Yi, just focus on your cultivation and strive to enter the elite training camp as soon as possible. I'll take care of things at home."

As Lin Yi's instructor, if Lin Yi recovers, he will also receive a substantial reward.

……

Lin Yi left by car, watched with concern and words of advice from his parents and Xu Xingyue.

This time, instead of taking a train into the wilderness, he went to the airport, transferred in Kyoto, and then flew to Australia in Oceania.

"This time, our target is the 'Spirit of Plants' in Kirishima!"

Lin Yi, seated in a luxurious seat, had a hint of longing in his eyes. Obtaining the spirits of plants and trees from the Fog Island would bring about a qualitative change for him and the Life-Eating Vine.

As for the monsters on the Australian continent and Fog Island, with the Life-Eating Vine protecting them, Lin Yi was confident he was safe.

In his previous life, Luo Feng, a war god, dared to venture into this place. There's no reason why Lin Yi, with his planetary-level Devouring Vine, wouldn't dare to do so.

"Little Devourer, are you serious?"

"Can the spirits of plants help you advance in rank?"

In the past few days, Lin Yi has witnessed firsthand the 'picky eating' behavior of the Phagocytic Vine.

He had intended to spend money to buy some lord-level monster flesh to help it advance, but he was refused.

The Life-Eating Vine doesn't care about these things at all, and it won't advance in rank even after consuming them.

The Life-Eating Vine wrapped around Lin Yi's waist trembled slightly, and a childish voice rang in Lin Yi's heart, "Master, don't worry, the spirit of plants can indeed help me advance."

Lin Yi felt relieved, collected his thoughts, and began to watch the introduction on the large screen in front of the passenger plane.

The passengers on this plane were all martial artists heading to the Australian continent. The weakest among them were at least at the War General level, so the passenger plane was very luxurious, with each seat practically a small mobile room. The three levels could accommodate two hundred people, with very spacious seating.

In the center of the cabin, there are three large screens facing all directions, each displaying the same video: a martial artist introducing the Australian continent...

"The Australian continent is arguably the region with the most astonishing and densest number of monsters in the world today. The Australian continent is isolated from other landmasses in the world, and there are a wide variety of monsters here, including king-level monsters!"

Anyone below the God of War level will almost certainly die if they encounter a King-level monster.

Warriors venturing across the Australian continent, remember this: never approach areas with a high density of monsters, especially areas with a large number of Lord-level monsters; stay far, far away in those areas.

All the passengers watched carefully, even though many of them had watched it countless times before, they still listened attentively.

Anyone who dares to act arrogantly on the Australian continent, one of the three most dangerous places, is absolutely courting death.

"King-level monsters generally won't bother with you unless you provoke them."

"Therefore, the greatest threat to you is still the beast hordes and lord-level monsters."

In the video, the man points to a map and says, "These are the various monster groups commonly found on the Australian continent, including all sorts of lord-level monsters."

Lin Yi looked at it carefully and took notes.

Suddenly... the entire cabin shook violently, and some martial artists who had been resting with their eyes closed were thrown out.

"What happened?" Lin Yi asked, slightly surprised.

"Attention passengers," a clear voice announced over the loudspeaker, "we have entered Australian airspace and will be 30 minutes from our destination."

Australia is famous for its abundance of monsters, and the number of bird monsters here is equally astonishing. A swarm of bird monsters attacked our plane just now, but we have shaken them off, so please don't worry.

"Those attacking the passenger plane are all groups of low-intelligence avian monsters." A scarred martial artist next to Lin Yi grinned maliciously. "If the monsters were really powerful, they wouldn't dare to get close to the passenger plane."

"Getting close is suicide."

The passenger plane carries an onboard laser cannon.

At close range, even a King-level monster cannot dodge the laser cannon's terrifying speed and will be killed instantly.

"Wow, the monster density is really high!"

Lin Yi sighed; flying in the vast sky, he had encountered an attack by a horde of beasts.

30 minute later.

As the plane landed and the cabin door opened, the warriors and war gods quickly stepped out of the passenger plane.

"Phew." As soon as he came out, Lin Yi felt his vision expand and a breath of exceptionally fresh air rushed into his chest.

This is a vast wasteland covered in green, with lush vegetation, and in the distance, the shadows of some monsters can be vaguely seen.

"Little Devourer, let's move out! Search for Fog Island while hunting to fill our space rings!"

Lin Yi touched the spatial ring on his right index finger.
