After night had completely fallen, Xu Yi still had not reached his destination.
However, Xu Yi did not stop.
Lightning can now sustain flight for 12 hours, though it requires several glides to regain stamina in the air.
It is precisely due to the Aquatic Winged Wolf’s formidable long-distance flying capability that the Spirit Race chose them as their steeds.
Xu Yi’s Lightning is still not at an Aquatic Winged Wolf’s limit.
Theoretically, an Aquatic Winged Wolf can reach level 10, but the Spirit Race’s current wolves are only cultivated up to level 7.
So, for Lightning to be at level 5, it’s already quite impressive.
While Lightning flies, Xu Yi is usually ditating.
But not today; his helt features a night vision function, even better than human military Night Vision Devices. With this night vision aid, Xu Yi could still see the world under the night sky.
The plains were getting closer, and Fierce Beasts were becoming more nurous.
Below, there were many Fierce Beasts, all at level 5.
They moved in packs, so groups numbering a dozen or more.
This situation gave Xu Yi so concern.
Once he reached the plains, would the situation worsen?
Fortunately, no Fierce Beast appeared in the sky.
Otherwise, it would be even less suitable to choose this area as a transmission point.
Past 11 PM, Xu Yi had Lightning land on a mountain.
This hill rose about a hundred ters above the plains, with a teorite Crater in the middle, exceeding 500 ters in diater.
Upon seeing it from the sky, Xu Yi felt it was an extrely ideal location and chose it imdiately.
After descending into the teorite Crater, Xu Yi found the edge only about 10 ters deep, with a water-filled basin less than 50 ters in diater at the center.
After landing, Xu Yi took out a thermoter.
"3 degrees, excellent, just perfect!" Xu Yi said joyfully. Now he just needed to confirm it again during the day. If everything checked out, Xu Yi could establish the transmission point here.
Lightning was thoroughly exhausted and lay down to rest after landing.
Xu Yi took so Fierce Beast at from his Star Chart and fed it for a while before sitting cross-legged.
He didn’t set up a tent since he needed to monitor the nightti temperature changes, and a tent would obscure that sensory data.
Ti slipped by, and Xu Yi continued ditating while maintaining his awareness of the surroundings.
No Fierce Beast attacked during the night.
Xu Yi discovered that the lowest nightti temperature was 1 degree. Compared to the snowfields, it was pleasantly warm.
When dawn arrived, Xu Yi opened his eyes and glanced at the sun in the sky.
"System, check-in."
Today marked the 238th consecutive day he had checked in.
"Ding, seven consecutive check-ins. You receive a Basic Gift Package."
Xu Yi smiled slightly and closed his eyes again.
"System, open the gift package."
Who knows what kind of gift it would be?
"Ding, you received a Spiritual Activation Potion *1 [There’s a 60% chance for a mage who uses it to awaken their Spiritual Power. It is a valuable potion, suitable for the most loyal companions] (Basic)."
Xu Yi was delighted by the notification.
This was the sa Stimulating Potion he found quite effective.
After all, he didn’t have the formula himself and could only rely on the system’s package to get it.
Moreover, the total number of Basic Gift Packages is limited.
Previously, Xu Yi was unsure what the descending numbers on the check-in screen ant.
After receiving several packages, he finally understood that the total number of Basic Gift Packages was 36, and monthly packages totaled 18.
There was no limit for annual, decadal, centennial, or even millennium packages.
Basic and Interdiate Packages were really only beneficial to Xu Yi in his early days.
By the 18th package, Xu Yi had checked in for 558 days.
By then, his strength would be quite formidable, and the Basic and Interdiate Packages would prove less and less useful to him.
However, the Advanced Gift Packages would certainly provide significant assistance to Xu Yi.
Thus, there were no restrictions on them.
Now, Xu Yi had already claid 34 Basic Gift Packages.
Next, he would only have the 245th and 252nd day monthly packages left to claim.
There were still 11 monthly packages to be claid, and during this period, Xu Yi could still receive an annual package.
So, he was hoping the remaining packages would be exceptionally rewarding.
Today’s package did not disappoint Xu Yi.
After glancing at the Spiritual Activation Potion, Xu Yi took out cooking utensils and began preparing breakfast.
Before cooking, Xu Yi checked the thermoter, showing 16 degrees.
After breakfast, Xu Yi rode Lightning to survey the surroundings.
This area was the domain of level 5 Fierce Beasts.
Additionally, Xu Yi noticed a lot of herbivorous Fierce Beasts at level 5.
This was considered good news because herbivorous Fierce Beasts were large. The smallest one he saw was bigger than a buffalo.
The largest was two or three tis the size of an elephant, about 6 ters tall—definitely massive, mobile beasts.
When they spotted Xu Yi, they would attack him using their Telekinesis, driving him away.
Their attacks combined with their sound waves were quite potent.
This was another unexpected finding for Xu Yi, a new thod of attack from the Fierce Beasts noted.
These beasts lived in groups, the smaller ones numbering around ten, larger ones numbering in the hundreds. No wonder the carnivorous Fierce Beasts nearby also lived in packs; without doing so, they couldn’t possibly take down these herbivore Fierce Beasts.
Xu Yi felt that if he charged into these herbivorous beast groups, he’d likely be pulverized by their Telekinesis unless he elevated to the level of a level 6 Divine Master.
Xu Yi spent the day exploring the surrounding 50 miles.
By and large, there were more level 5 herbivore Fierce Beasts than carnivores.
Moreover, the midday temperature could reach up to 21 degrees, a very comfortable level.
Though the Fierce Beasts were plentiful, they preferred the lush, vegetated areas. The hill Xu Yi selected was sparsely vegetated, mostly rocky.
Xu Yi circled around and found no beast droppings, suggesting they did not frequent this area.
This solidified his decision to use this location as the transmission point, establishing it as humanity’s first long-term base.
Tomorrow, Xu Yi decided he would take out and activate the equipnt.
He still needed to observe the nightti conditions.
Now, there was just over an hour until nightfall.
Xu Yi returned to the teorite Crater and inspected its edges.
Then, Xu Yi brought out his drone system.
With so stone pillars, he could place these drones atop them to beco permanent observation posts. In this way, from within the crater, one could monitor the external conditions in real-ti.
Furthermore, these drones all had motion detection features that could automatically send alerts.
As a result, the security of this base could be significantly enhanced.
At present, Xu Yi only lacked a tool to easily procure stone.
