Chapter 62 Disciples' ComplaintsIn March, the weather has become completely warm. Everywhere in the Great Zhou is full of vitality. People have already started to get busy, as there is still a lot of spring farming work to do. The time of spring ploughing is also the time when the task of prevention is the heaviest. The cities within the country, the imperial police, and the army were also more stringently on guard against attacks by monsters. Do our best to ensure the people's spring farming. Meanwhile, the Yunyang Sect’s demon-slaying operation has been going on for more than half a month. In the past, the sect’s direct disciples were called inner disciples. They are usually team leaders or squad leaders. But this time, the sect asked them to go deep into the front line and slay the monster together.
The Yunyang Sect’s defense line has retreated a lot, but there is still a wide and dense forest between the defense line and the sect. If these monsters cross the Yunyang Sect, they will enter the heartland of the Great Zhou. That's when the real trouble comes. It is definitely not an easy task to kill all the monsters hiding there. In the forest, a six-member team from the Yunyang Sect found a place to sit down. Several people's faces were filled with fatigue. They set out at noon and began to search for traces of monsters in the mountains and forests. To be honest, even if a golden demon appeared and they had to take some risks, it would be better than searching for it like this. “I thought before that if the sect drove away Su Chen, the disciple who stole the credit, it would be easier for us to get the credit. But now, it feels like it will be harder to earn some contributions." The disciple who was speaking looked dusty and dusty. After running around for so long with basically nothing to show for it, I naturally felt a bit resentful. Looking back to last year, it was so easy to contribute. Just lie in ambush, the monster will know to come forward and give itself up. "Last year I complained that my contribution was too little, but this month, I haven't made as much as I did in seven days last year." "Who isn't?" "I don't know what happened. Why can't the sect stop those monsters all of a sudden?" There was a sense of loss in the tone of several people. Conversations like theirs have also occurred among many Yunyang Sect disciples.
“I heard people say it was because of Su Chen. It is said that all the traces of monsters in the sect in the past were found and reported by Su Chen. Now that he is gone, the remaining disciples who were investigating cannot handle the situation at all. There were all kinds of surprise attacks on the front lines, and even the sect was attacked by monsters." Someone mentioned Su Chen's name, but the others around him obviously didn't believe it. "I heard this rumor from somewhere, and it doesn't seem to have any credibility at all." "Don't disbelieve it, this is true. The sect has arranged several rounds of inspections, starting with the inspection disciples and then the sentries, and the key one is Su Chen." During the conversation between the few people, the topic started talking about Su Chen. “Now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression. Although Su Chen's strength is average, he is indeed good at finding the traces of monsters. But you make him sound so important, I still don’t quite believe it. With so many disciples from the sect investigating, is it possible that they can't defeat him alone?" As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple next to him immediately stood up to refute. "Which of those disciples who are investigating now is not related to others? Either you have a good relationship with the hall master or you have a good relationship with the team leader, and they all go there to earn contributions. If there is trouble, can you help me?" The disciple who was speaking paused and stood up. “I won’t talk about anything else. Anyway, after Su Chen left, the contribution I earned became less. If I had to choose, I would rather be in the same situation as before. Even if my contribution is deducted by 20%, I will accept it." "Nonsense, it sounds like everyone is unwilling to do so. You guys go and see, Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan didn’t kill many monsters. They are all in such a difficult situation. If we continue with the current situation, I don’t know if we can earn half of the contribution we made last year.” The words of several people were full of complaints. Without contribution value, there are no resources. Without resources, it is impossible to move forward. The current situation is several times more dangerous and difficult than ambushing monsters last year. But the contribution was much less.
Who can be motivated? As the sky gradually darkened, the six-member team began to return to the sect. These disciples who are participating in the demon-slaying operation do not need to be stationed on the front line. At the hour of Xu, everyone gathered in front of the Yunyang Sect's mountain gate. Core disciples like Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan did not participate, but most of the other disciples came. The third elder, who was in charge of leading the demon-slaying operation, was now giving instructions to his disciples. So many disciples were sent out throughout the day today. A total of twenty-two demons were killed. With this speed of slaying monsters, when will it be possible to completely wipe out all the monsters within the defense line? The third elder took the opportunity to announce the decision to increase the contribution of slaying demons by 10%. If it were last year, everyone would probably be very excited. Last year’s demon-slaying operation was a breeze for everyone. Carry weapons into the front line, and go to the location to slay the monster according to the information obtained. Last year’s monster felt like a treasure given as a gift of contribution. But this year, the monsters' strength seems to have not changed. But I can’t find it, I really can’t find it. No one was interested in the contribution value improvement plan mentioned by the Third Elder. Even if the contribution value is increased by 50%, there probably won’t be much change. After the conversation, the disciples returned to their respective residences. Tomorrow, we have to continue going into the mountains and forests to look for traces of monsters. The other sects were within their defense lines, and there were no monsters roaming around. It would be fine if this situation happened to the Yunyang Sect, which is ranked first, but it would be a huge shame if it could not be resolved. Lying on the bed, the disciples in the same room couldn't help but start talking. “The Third Elder was talking so loudly before, saying that all the monsters would be exterminated within half a month. It’s been almost a month now. Have half of those monsters been killed? Even if I make a contribution, they still do a lot of deductions and add 10% as if it were something like that. If you don’t know, you might think it’s doubled.” When one person started to complain, others followed suit. "Others are planning to rely on their core disciples to wipe out the monsters. Didn’t you see that Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan both took action? Giving us an extra 10% contribution is already giving us face." "Haha, Fu Jianyun only killed seven monsters today, right? There are even fewer willow stars at night, only five."
“Are the number of demons they have killed so few? During the cleanup at the end of last summer, wasn’t it easy to kill hundreds of demons? How come today? Inside the room, a group of disciples were discussing more and more intensely. Some people quickly spoke out to stop them and asked them to speak in a lower voice. “In the past, I was trying to please Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan. All the monsters that entered the encirclement were dealt with by the core disciples, so of course they earned more contributions. " When the sect was on the decline, naturally there were more complaints about each other. The core disciple who was placed with high hopes did not show any outstanding abilities and slay countless demons. On the contrary, the results of the past few days have been disappointing. The monsters were not as easy to deal with as they imagined. (End of this chapter)
