Chapter 603: Terrifying Numbers, Native Civilization
Thinking about the information shared back after the shadow clone exploded, Lu Wenwu knocked his head in a bit of distress.
The inheritance of the "General's Statue" was just an unexpected surprise.
For him now, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not.
During these three months, the main focus was on collecting information on the distribution and general strength of ferocious beasts on the ancient continent, while also exploring the locations of traces of local civilization.
The tens of thousands of shadow clones that Lu Wenwu sent out one after another lived up to expectations and successfully explored a huge area.
But what troubled him was...
I don't know if it's because I haven't explored far enough, I'm unlucky, or if this world is just that difficult.
In short, until the last shadow clone, which was also the one with the longest exploration distance, exploded, he still failed to successfully find any trace of the local indigenous civilization.
I hope it's because the Green Grass Tribe is too far from the border of civilization.
It is possible that sometimes you are only one step away from the truth, but the shadow clone is too fragile and will explode if touched by anything.
Sure enough, this thing is suitable for those guys who look like melee fighters but are actually mages.
It is really unfriendly to a pure physical cultivator like me.
It can only be used as a tool for transmitting information.
If I were a true and great Falun Dafa god, would I have to endure this kind of bullshit?
Before being blown up, each clone is almost as powerful as the original body!
What dangerous place? Just push through it and it's done.
Three months is enough time to explore at least a quarter of the continent!
Lu Wenwu reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose to ease the distress from the explosive start.
But to say that there is no gain at all is nonsense.
Although the shadow clone is a bit fragile and abstract, Lu Wenwu is a monster with infinite strength, and he can continuously clone himself to continue the exploration.
In the three months before the arrival of spring, he also explored an area of tens of thousands of kilometers.
The results were both good and bad.
Within tens of thousands of kilometers, there are probably hundreds of tribes of all sizes distributed around.
There are still some humans native to the ancient continent, but the density is really worrying.
Or
This amount is enough to make anyone sad and cry.
This is the total number within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers!
This is larger than the surface area of the Blue Planet in Lu Wenwu’s previous life!
That includes the ocean area.
But on the ancient continent, such a vast land, the total number of humans living there is not even as much as the population of a small town, with only a few thousand scattered around.
It's amazing.
The original strength and number of the Qingcao tribe were considered to be slightly better developed among them. The other tribes discovered by Lu Wenwu generally had a level of around thirty to forty people.
There are a few who are stronger and can reach the level of 100 people, but they live a tight life.
There are also small tribes with only a dozen or even just a few people left, either due to natural disasters or ferocious beasts.
Almost everyone except the beast-blood warriors died.
Every time he discovered a tribe, Lu Wenwu would leave a shadow clone there as a watch and take the initiative to contact the other party.
With the help of some magical spells, he can teach them a more powerful training method than the beast-blood warriors, and it does not consume any extra food.
Except for two mini tribes with only a few people left, which had lost the motivation to survive due to the death of their companions and relatives, there were almost no tribes that did not welcome Lu Wenwu's arrival.
Besides, there is something that everyone knows.
Anyone who can cross the wilderness in winter must be an extremely strong person.
Such a strong man can bring a future to the tribe.
In this world where everyone is struggling to survive, the strong ones who can bring more chances of survival must be seized.
Therefore, during these three months, Lu Wenwu not only taught the knowledge of the Qingcao tribe.
At the same time, he also included all the people in the tribes he explored into the scope of teaching.
However, the teaching progress varies depending on how early or late the problem is discovered.
What's more, the shadow clone is already quite limited, and many things cannot be replicated by the original body.
Things like taking out supplies from the Dragon Mansion small world to help the tribe that is short of food and clothing are impossible to do. The people in the tribe cannot reach the point of completely quitting their jobs for cultivation, and the supply of resources is not sufficient, so the progress is naturally slow.
From an empirical point of view, so many ancient human races have been discovered now.
The best way to preserve and grow is to gather them all together to form a huge force and use it to develop in a snowball manner.
However, this is unlikely to be feasible.
Unless Lu Wenwu is prepared to continue taking resources from the Dragon Mansion small world to feed these thousands of ancient humans.
Otherwise, the food crisis alone would be enough to wipe out the population that has been accumulated with great difficulty.
At the same time, there are more serious challenges waiting to be faced.
That is the threat posed by the surrounding ferocious beasts.
The human race is small, divided into small tribes of dozens of people each, and is inconspicuous on this ancient continent.
It is so small that even powerful beasts are too lazy to make a special trip to eat it.
Even if you eat it all, it won’t be enough to offset the loss.
In most cases, the tribe was attacked by either groups of ferocious beasts of similar level, or by creatures like nightmare beasts that just happened to kill everyone along the way.
But if all human beings gather together, they will form a huge force.
This will definitely attract the attention of the Beast King.
You are too lazy to pick up and eat some meat scraps dropped on the table, and you are too lazy to eat a pile of meat sauce and just throw it away?
Impossible.
If this were to be done, before the ancient human race had the ability to resist, Lu Wenwu would need to personally deal with all the invading enemies, which would be equivalent to him being tied up.
Tie your own hands and feet.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Wenwu decided to postpone the decision to gather these thousands of human beings together.
If we can find an area controlled by a native human civilization, even if it's just a part the size of a town, it's worth a try.
Let's just forget about the current situation. It's not a good idea to rush into a gathering.
When we can gather tens of thousands of people, if we still can't find any trace of local civilization, we can just get together and create a small territory of our own.
So what we need to do now is...it seems that there is nothing more that can be included in the scope of action, and subjective initiative has been exerted to its limit.
The development plan I had decided on earlier has come to a standstill.
Apart from waiting time, it is difficult to provide any support for the current situation.
There is no trace of native civilization within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers!
It can't be that there really isn't one, right?
Lu Wenwu doesn't believe in evil.
So far, the area he has explored has not contained any terrain beyond the forest.
The ancient continent is so huge that it can be seen with the naked eye. It is impossible that it has only this kind of terrain.
It must have not been explored yet.
The exploration of shadow clones saves both trouble and effort.
But it's too slow.
It is also very limiting.
Some things still need to be handled in person.
For example, explore the inheritance of the "General's Statue".
This inheritance is no longer a help to him now, but it may contain information that is helpful in completing the task.
For example, the life story of the owner, the places where he lived, and so on.
Well worth a trip in person.
That’s it!
After making up his mind, Lu Wenwu did not act immediately.
Instead, I waited quietly for another two months and worked as a literacy teacher for two months.
He passed on most of the useful knowledge, and after watching the Green Grass Tribe's strength double compared to before and gradually get on the right track, he finally left after leaving behind a shadow clone.
This time, he planned to explore the location of the suspected "General Statue" inheritance that he had discovered before.
If his previous judgment was correct, then there must be traces of indigenous human civilization not far from the general's statue.
This distance must be reached with a certain probability at B level, otherwise it would not be a test of inheritance for me at that time, but a suicide.
The shadow clone is useless and has no combat power against slightly more powerful beasts.
For this kind of thing, you still need to do it yourself.
Lu Wenwu did not use the ultra-long-distance space portal to move on the ancient continent, but chose a more primitive low-altitude flight to move forward.
In this continent where pseudo-immortals may exist, it would be quite dangerous to lower one's physical strength to a lower level.
It is true that Lu Wenwu likes to challenge strong enemies and be a reckless man, but this does not mean that he is a fool who likes to seek death.
He believed that he was not much inferior to the Pseudo Immortal Beast King in terms of pure combat.
But if you are in a physical low period and then suffer an attack, then everything will be different.
It took about two days for Lu Wenwu to explore the route again along the path explored by his shadow clone.
With the scanning power of a huge spiritual consciousness, the information obtained is much more detailed than that obtained by the shadow clone.
The results were almost shocking.
On average, within every hundred kilometers, there is at least one beast king-level ferocious beast equivalent to the first level of deification.
In some special areas, such as those located directly above the spirit vein, the density of Beast King areas will be higher within the same area.
Some beast kings who grew up with the same mother would even share the same vast territory, forming a family-like existence, ruling the entire area with their own tribe and using it as a hunting ground.
In this environment, Lu Wenwu felt his scalp tingling, and he even gave up the idea of gathering all the human beings immediately.
A hundred kilometers may sound like a big distance, but it is actually too small for a powerful god.
You don't need to go all out.
Just one slightly serious attack would be enough to destroy everything within a hundred kilometers.
In the past, Lu Wenwu had already possessed earth-level strength when he reached the realm of godhood in the mortal world.
In the previous copy, he was able to easily explode.
How many beast kings live in this land of tens of thousands of square kilometers?
Even if the Ancient Continent is a "strong" world where martial arts competitions are fierce, how strong can it be?
This terrifying density of beast kings makes it difficult for the human race, which previously had difficulty in producing a three-seal A-level, to grow stronger.
The closer he got to the area where the inheritance was located, the heavier the burden Lu Wenwu felt.
The area where the Green Grass Tribe is located can probably be considered a remote and desolate place, and the quality of the ferocious beasts is generally not that high. A beast king who has reached the first level of godhood is already a hegemon.
The further you go "inside", the higher the concentration of spiritual energy becomes, and the number and quality of ferocious beasts also increase accordingly.
In the range of thousands of miles close to the inheritance in the memory, top beast kings comparable to the third level of ascension to the gods have become very common, and a powerful presence can be sensed every now and then.
What made Lu Wenwu even more troubled was that the ferocious beasts here had clearly sprouted the seeds of class rule.
Under the command of a top-level beast king who has reached the third level of deification, there will be multiple beast kings with slightly lower strength, as well as their respective large tribes of subordinates.
These ferocious beasts gathered together to form one huge ferocious beast tribe after another.
Just like the monsters in the world of immortal cultivation, they gather together and constantly fight against each other, competing for the dominance of territory, competing for better mates, and competing for better spiritual veins.
Now Lu Wenwu deeply understood why the copy system did not have a strong requirement for him to support humans to become the ruling overlord.
This difficulty is indeed too great.
What’s the difference between this and creating a cultivation world from scratch!
This is only possible if humans have developed a mature cultivation system like the one in the world of cultivation and have developed it for thousands or tens of thousands of years, nurturing many top-level powerhouses who can fight against all beast kings with the power of a clan, and establishing a huge ruling area and an empire with human civilization as its main body.
At least for now, Lu Wenwu feels that it is impossible for local humans to develop a civilization of this level.
Otherwise, even the copy system wouldn't be so direct.
With a heavy heart, Lu Wenwu approached the area where the inheritance was located.
The "general statue" that had been silent for many years after it was obtained began to heat up slightly, and two axe shadows composed entirely of red light gradually emerged on its hands that were missing weapons.
Through this little gadget, Lu Wenwu could clearly feel the location of the inheritance.
It is obvious that this deceased strong man who was born in such an environment did not have any twists and turns. He just wanted people to get their own inheritance as quickly as possible and enhance their strength.
It can be said that it is very consistent with the current situation.
But when Lu Wenwu followed the instructions and found the place, his face suddenly turned dark.
The direction given by this inheritance leads to an area ruled by a top-level beast king, and it is also the location of the other party's lair!
This is not a joke!
In a place like this, what kind of incredible B-level item can you get?
Never mind, let’s first scan to see if there is anything special inside, then kill them in and be done with it.
In an instant, the vast and majestic spiritual consciousness like the ocean swept across, and the powerful mental power reflected every detail of the place. Nothing could escape Lu Wenwu's perception.
"This is the ferocious beast from last time. There are also a few second- and first-level Ascension Gods. Looks like we can have a good fight this time."
In his spiritual consciousness, Lu Wenwu saw the situation inside the nest.
Several beast kings were lying on the spirit veins and sleeping soundly. With every breath, a large amount of spiritual energy was inhaled and exhaled, turning into pure power and merging into the origin.
"Hmm? What is this second-level Divine Beast King going to do with so many minions? And his expression is so strange."
Lu Wenwu's spiritual sense expanded, and he became curious when he found that the Beast King was mobilizing troops. He followed the direction in which the other party was running and covered the area. In a blink of an eye, it spread out for hundreds of kilometers.
In his spiritual perception, he "saw" the human disdain on the face of the Beast King, and also saw a small group of humans in front of him with terrified faces, who were being chased and fleeing for their lives.
Continuing forward, something made of stone and wood, resembling a city wall, was within reach.
Countless figures with powerful auras stood above, ready for battle.
"Fuck! I finally found you!"
Lu Wenwu's face was filled with ecstasy at first, but then his expression suddenly changed, and his excited expression instantly turned into anxiety.
The next moment, the majestic figure distorted the space and disappeared instantly.
"BYD, a blank slate at the first level of God Ascension dares to send someone to seduce a beast king at the second level of God Ascension in order to complete a hunt? What the hell do you think of the realm barrier?"
"That's not how you fight someone of a higher rank! If I hadn't come today, you would have killed yourself, you bastard!"
"You better have something to say, byd, or you'll be in big trouble after I save everyone!"
