Chapter 115: Arriving at the Camp
"Roar!"
From far away, the roar of a demonic beast could be faintly heard.
Unknowingly, the flying boat had already passed through an invisible boundary, so the sound of the beast's roar was not dampened at all, crashing directly into the ears of everyone on the deck and causing them to tremble instantly.
A moment later, the lingering echoes of the beast's roar gradually faded away.
At least a late-stage Tier 2...
Du En thought this to himself, his gaze shifting as he saw a "pure land" within the dense mountain forest.
There was a layer of yellow-green interwoven light curtain, like an inverted bowl, covering a clearing in the woods.
Xiang Tao spoke wantonly, making no effort to hide his killing intent, but although the emperor was far away and they had been exiled for over a hundred years, this was still a place under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect, and a dangerous, rotten place at that, so the necessary rules still had to be followed.
Wouldn't a single pill or something like that solve this whole thing?
"You all start the camp entry registration."
A queue had already formed at the front for questioning and registration, and the person in charge spoke very impatiently, immediately scaring the person in front of them so much that they wet themselves on the spot.
"I was wondering why they didn't change their expression; turns out they're just numb from seeing it so much!"
Du En judged it this way, and it was soon confirmed.
After all, there were many evil cultivators in this place, and they would indeed encounter the corpses of evil cultivators from time to time, which were quite troublesome to deal with; now that someone with the right professional skills had arrived, at least the others could have some peace before they died.
"What are you standing there for? I'm asking what your specialty is!"
The other party nodded immediately, without suspicion.
"Camp Master, you really should be a bit more careful; that is, after all, the dignified General Manager of Outer City Affairs!"
Xiang Tao, this Camp Master, cursed and swore, while not forgetting to take the most precious items from the supplies—which were stored in several Tier 2 storage bags—and tuck them directly into his own robes, making his confidant beside him feel a massive headache.
At this moment, Huang Xiaosheng swallowed his saliva and braced himself to speak: "M-Master, may I ask, if one has a specialty, does that mean we only need to do that specific job from now on?"
"Damn it, a bunch of trash!"
"Speak quickly! If you're slow again, I'll kill you right now!"
The patrol guards were full of disgust and looked down on them immensely.
"No, it's from what I earned collecting and transporting corpses."
Amidst the cacophony, Du En noticed that voice cursing.
Once he thought of this, he instantly felt a sense of superiority, and coming here seemed to become acceptable.
Foundation Establishment Perfection!
"Forty-eight years, broke through three years ago."
Facing this thoughtful development, Du En naturally went with the flow and replied: "Burying corpses."
Originally, everyone could not see inside, but as a strand of magic power flew out from within and struck the flying boat, beginning to guide it to dock, it became possible to see clearly inside.
"Burying corpses? You were in corpse affairs before? Earning extra spirit stones by burying rotten evil corpses for the higher-ups?"
"Heh! How ridiculous! So what if I cursed him? That bastard, if he has the guts to transfer me back, I'd even have to thank him!"
"Heh! You're thinking quite wishfully! How is that possible!"
As for how many years they had been cultivating, there was no need to ask; in any case, it was certainly seventy or eighty years.
As a place to live, there was nothing to complain about.
"How many years have you been cultivating, how many years since you broke through?"
"Tsk! Did I take it? I'm just swapping it for a new one!"
"Heh, that was quite fast, but your guts haven't been trained yet. Next."
They did not look like cultivators, but rather like bandits, filled with baleful aura, with terrible attitudes and undisguised contempt; they always pushed and shoved the newcomers who got off the flying boat, causing them to stumble and fall, and some were even injured.
"What a lucky guy, what an unlucky guy, we've seen it all today!"
Xiang Tao was prepared; he reached back and pulled out a few old bags, threw them into the empty cabin, then dusted off his backside and walked out, pointing at the stacked supplies.
Placed in this outpost camp, there was no time for him to continue striving for advancement, so it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he died in some corner of the mountain forest; wasn't he just a piece of trash taking up a spot for nothing?
"Tsk! You're quite sensible, not getting beaten until only one breath was left, making it so I can't just kill you directly now, saving everyone's time."
The old patrol guards, who were like bandits, stopped cursing, but the newly arrived Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't help but laugh, looking at Du En's side with inexplicable pride.
Responding to Xiang Tao's mental assumption, Du En answered as such.
Just like that, the simple questioning and registration went on.
After giving this order, everyone continued their actions, while Xiang Tao leaped onto the deck, dragged the person who still had one breath left, and immediately returned to the ground.
Finally, a bare, pale corpse was discarded to the side by him with disgust.
"Yes, yes, I specialize in artifact refining."
Regarding this look, Du En felt no ripples, only skillfully carrying the corpse on his back and walking outside the formation.
Turning his head to look, he saw a tall, sturdy man with a face full of flesh and a hideous appearance, dressed like a primitive man in animal skin clothes and shoes, but in reality, everything he wore was top-grade Tier 2 magic artifacts, and the magic power occasionally leaking out clearly looked down on everyone.
Appearance?
It seemed he was the person in charge of the camp, the current Camp Master.
Xiang Tao revealed a mouthful of white teeth and turned his head to look, scaring the newcomers so much they almost wet themselves.
Amidst their varying thoughts, the flying boat entered the formation and landed on the parking clearing of the outpost camp.
Xiang Tao stopped his footsteps, his words chilling and blunt, "Of course it's to continue working overtime after returning from patrol! Do you really think this is still the comfortable city you came from!"
How bitter!
"You stupid pigs, all get down here, don't get in the way!"
Because he knew He Bo, generally understood some of his temperament, and also knew about the corpse-burying supervisor's affairs, if Du En chose to default or agree, it would prove he was lying and was not a corpse-buryer at all.
Then came the extremely skillful stripping of clothes and searching of the corpse.
"What about you? What is your specialty?"
The newcomers who had already lined up could not help but turn their attention this way.
Before he could even open his mouth, Huang Xiaosheng looked up, saw him, and immediately, as if discovering a great opportunity to curry favor and claim credit, interrupted: "My lord, he is from the shanty town outside the city!"
"What kind of spineless trash is this?!"
The old patrol guards waiting over here spoke very rudely, their spittle flying everywhere.
It is a second-tier protective array.
What kind of dump is this? Is this fit for humans to live in?
Seeing that he worked quite nimbly, without showing any complaints or dissatisfaction, and was very self-aware and obedient, Xiang Tao nodded directly, looking very satisfied, and paid no more attention to him.
Suddenly, it was Du En's turn in line.
The reason is simple: although there are people working everywhere both inside and outside the city, those inside the city have better aptitude and more resources, so their strength is naturally better; as for those outside the city, even if they are lucky enough to break through, their foundation is ultimately lacking, and regardless of magic tools, spells, or cultivation arts, they are generally a huge cut behind.
"Move them to my side first; I will inspect them before they enter the warehouse."
"Speak, what special skills do you have?"
"Tsk! Another pile of trash assigned here!"
Hm?
Xiang Tao, who was walking over, the person responsible for registration, and some other old patrol guards on the side all looked over at once, and started cursing before they even saw clearly.
"Stay honestly to the side, no running around!"
"Understood!"
The person in front continued the inquiry and registration, looking a bit surprised, "Oh my, you've got guts, not even changing your expression."
Wooden buildings were situated in an orderly fashion, and on the whole, it was considered spacious; at the center was a three-story stilt house, which, in Du En's view, although worse than Qingya Garden, was much better than the crowded and filthy shanty town.
But in the eyes of Huang Xiaosheng and the others, there was only one thought.
"Damn that Tang Yiping, being stingy again this time, aren't you?"
Huang Xiaosheng let out a mournful sigh, and the others, by unspoken agreement, all looked miserable.
"You can curse all you want, old man, but you can't take this storage bag!"
Lowly is lowly; no matter where they go, they do lowly things!
"That son of a bitch Tang Yiping, he actually stuffed me with a piece of 'water-in-water' trash this time?"
And the current answer was clearly that of an old veteran in the trade.
Thus, Xiang Tao hooked his thumb backward and said: "That's still a bit useful, so be it. From now on, if there are any corpses inside or outside the camp perimeter, you will be the one to bury them. Here, that 'white-cut chicken' hasn't been dealt with yet; drag it outside the array and find a place to bury it well."
Xiang Tao was also striding over.
They only saw the flying boat rise and return, and Xiang Tao directly snapped the neck of the person in his hand.
The crackling sound was chilling to hear!
"Quick, quick, quick, start unloading the cargo!"
"Yes!"
