Chapter 1923: Rotational Zones
"I was wondering if we should slow down our current direction. Perhaps the demons in this area only drop palm-leaf attributes of these four types. What if we changed location or direction?" Yi Yunfei speculated.
"I think Senior Brother Yi’s idea is very likely correct. After all, we fought over a hundred demons today, but only two dropped wood-attribute leaves. This suggests that the demon attributes in this direction are incomplete. It’s not impossible that we should change direction," Ouyang Tianyun also guessed.
"Since that’s the case, let’s change our focus," Jian Feiyan suggested.
"However, I think the most important thing is to get a map. Other directions also have demons. Yesterday, Senior Brother Sikong specifically brought us here. Likely, the demons here are of a lower level, and secondly, each team has different designated areas for eliminating demons. I think we should go back and investigate properly to avoid unnecessary trouble later," Gu Jun said steadily from the side.
"Alright, let’s go back first and ask around." Everyone felt Gu Jun’s suggestion made sense, so they decided to inquire first.
"Regardless, we can’t let the demons here go. Palm leaves are money. Look, there are still a few below. Why don’t we eliminate them first?" Jin Gui said very seriously.
"Then let’s go down once." Yi Yunfei looked at the demons below and nodded. Although the demons below were scattered in small groups and seemed few, since they had come, they should eliminate these demons first to make the trip worthwhile.
So they went down and thoroughly crushed the demons here. Basically, no trace of demons remained, and then everyone left with smiles.
Back at the camp, they handed in their entry and exit permits at the registration desk and returned. Naturally, the task of gathering information was assigned to Yi Yunfei. As they put it, who else but their Senior Brother and Squad Leader?
Seeing everyone’s lazy attitude, Yi Yunfei could only shrug and go find Sikong Xuran.
After hearing Yi Yunfei’s purpose, Sikong Xuran didn’t know what to say: "Actually, you guessed one thing correctly. Our demon elimination is divided by zones. For example, the area you were in is a long-term one, belonging to our Sixth Brigade’s fixed demon-hunting region. Of course, there are also zones that are rotated by date."
Sikong Xuran took out a map and drew a circle: "This is the fixed area for our Sixth Team. This section is rotational."
Sikong Xuran looked at Yi Yunfei and said, "However, the demons in the rotational area are obviously of a higher level. How is your cultivation?"
"Our cultivation is okay. The lowest is already late-stage Nascent Soul, so you don’t need to worry. We can still take a beating," Yi Yunfei said this as casually as if saying, "The weather is nice today, suitable for a trip."
Sikong Xuran found that since encountering these junior brothers and sisters, his hair had noticeably thinned: "Well, you are all freaks." The lowest was peak Nascent Soul; he didn’t know what else to say.
Here, in his team, everyone was naturally above the Nascent Soul stage, but they didn’t have elites like Yi Yunfei’s group. Their lowest being late-stage Nascent Soul implied that some might even be at the Soul Formation stage or above. In that case, going to those special areas was feasible.
"Since your cultivation is already so high, you can go to those rotational special areas. If you are determined to go, I will arrange for your group to join in," Sikong Xuran said seriously.
"Of course we will go," Yi Yunfei said with a smile. "Actually, places with more demons are better, as the chance of dropping palm leaves is higher."
Well, Sikong Xuran judged in his heart that these junior brothers and sisters were already the type who valued money over their lives.
But letting them try was good. At least, they had absolutely no problem protecting themselves now.
Sikong Xuran hummed: "It will be ten days before it’s our turn to go there. Prepare well these few days. The demons there are of a higher level, and there are quite a few of them. If things go wrong, flying demons might appear. So, prepare everything thoroughly."
"Alright, I’ll have someone prepare. Senior Brother Sikong, just notify me of the exact departure time," Yi Yunfei said, having gotten the answer he wanted, and left decisively.
o(￣︶￣)o Seeing Yi Yunfei’s decisiveness, Sikong Xuran could only shake his head helplessly: "Don’t worry, I will notify you in the group chat."
"Alright, I’m leaving." Without saying another word, Yi Yunfei left briskly.
When Yi Yunfei returned to the camp, he saw everyone lying on rocking chairs or recliners in the camp, each holding a roasted lamb leg and a portion of fruit.
"What about mine?" Yi Yunfei asked.
"Ask Third Senior Brother," Gu Jun pointed to the elegant Ouyang Tianyun nearby.
Ouyang Tianyun threw a roasted lamb leg and a portion of fruit to Yi Yunfei. Yi Yunfei also took out a recliner, lay down, and said while eating, "Our guess was correct. The place we went to these past two days is one of our fixed areas.
There are also mobile areas in another direction. Because they are mobile, they are rotational. It will be about ten days before it rotates to our Sixth Brigade. Senior Brother Sikong will notify us in the group chat then."
"Oh." Everyone indicated they understood.
"Since that’s the case, let’s go to the old place these few days to fight and accumulate some palm leaves," Jin Gui said.
"You really can’t bear to part with money," Mi Xiao teased.
"Absolutely. That’s money. Whoever can bear to part with it is a big idiot," Jin Gui answered very seriously.
(⊙o⊙)… It seemed no one wanted to be that big idiot. Well, then everyone would accumulate some palm leaves together.
So Yi Yunfei spoke up again: "In that case, let’s continue fighting tomorrow."
Actually, it didn’t even count as fighting. It was like a daily patrol. They had to do it anyway. It didn’t take long, about an hour, and definitely no more than two hours. Thinking of it this way, everyone agreed. It was just a way to pass the time.
From that day on, Yi Yunfei’s Fifth Sub-team would go out for one to two hours every morning and then return. Many people noticed that the Fifth Sub-team of the Sixth Brigade was definitely peculiar. They only went out for such a short time each day, and everyone went out clean and returned spotless.
