Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 180 Running around searching? That's during a holiday!

The Anti-Heaven Organization possesses considerable intelligence capabilities in the Dream Continent.

Because the anti-heaven ideology is not extreme and has good compatibility, it has good interactions with many independent martial artists and martial spirits.

Lin Xiufeng claimed that he wanted to create a map showing the distribution of mutated beasts on the Dream Continent.

The anti-heaven organization actively gathers intelligence, easily obtaining information from villages, bases, and exploration teams, as well as from groups of independent travelers.

This distribution map was filled with a lot of information in a short period of time.

The original distribution map of the mutant beasts was just a decoy, but as the information was rapidly added, Lin Xiufeng discovered that the distribution of the mutant beasts followed a clear territorial division phenomenon.

In any area surrounding a giant mutant beast, there is no second powerful mutant beast.

Lin Xiufeng examined the information marked on the distribution map. Many areas showed a star-shaped distribution, and he exclaimed:
"Giant mutant beasts can greatly reduce the range by using relative spacing, no wonder the Heavenly Martial Group was able to clear the central and northern areas so cleanly."

"The three major organizations formed by the native Heavenly Warriors of the Dream Continent are still exploring, but the Heavenly Martial Group has experience summaries from other worlds provided by Blue Star."

"The Heavenly Martial Group has too much of an advantage!"

Lin Qiru looked at the markings on the map and nodded in agreement, saying:
"Yes. Fortunately, there are many independent Tianwu Soul Tianwu warriors, and the Tianwu Group always gathers a lot of people when it eliminates giant mutated beasts."

"That's how we can easily find those who were there at the time and still remember the exact location."

Lin Xiufeng moved his finger across the map, roughly estimating Bibi's location at the time, and noticed something strange.

"The location of the Bhibhi is approximately in the very center of the Dream Continent."

“There used to be four giant mutated beasts around the Bibi. The territory of the Bibi in the very center was unusually small, roughly the size of the Thousand Rock Cave.”

Lin Qiru recalled the route and agreed with Lin Xiufeng's estimation of the location; it was indeed in the center of the Dream Continent.

"Are you saying that the piranha is unique?"

Lin Xiufeng found it obvious and asked in return:
“Even the mighty Thunder God from the Classic of Mountains and Seas can be directly manipulated by Fang Yuan. Only the Bibi Light Pearl requires an exceptionally high level of power to utilize.”

“Okay.” Lin Qiru nodded, then considered the missing parts of the map. “Where do we start looking?”

Lin Xiufeng had already thought it through, and pointed to the blank areas with his finger, saying:
"From these areas where there's no news!"

"Hmm?" Lin Qiru was somewhat surprised, which meant that they were still collecting information.

Without a precise location, even if the approximate range is calculated, it is still difficult to find a tiny bead of light.

unless……

Lin Qiru looked at the empty spaces and smiled knowingly, saying:

"You should first search the areas that the Heavenly Martial Group has cleared but there has been no news about them. These areas are likely to be inhabited by particularly strong mutated beasts."

Lin Xiufeng snapped his fingers and gave Lin Qiru a thumbs-up on the forehead:
"Give me a thumbs up, beautiful lady! I bet it's a mutated beast that the Heavenly Martial Group is temporarily unwilling to deal with, or that they haven't discovered yet."

Lin Qiru immediately understood.

"Yes, like the armadillo king, the type that is good at hiding and afraid of fighting."

Lin Xiufeng entrusted Fang Yuan with the task of perfecting the information at Guwang Volcano, and Fang Yuan also took over all matters related to the base's security.

Fang Yuan knew that the goal was to find the souls of mutated beasts and make them into soul beads, and he fully supported it.

When they set off, Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qi left by sea, and very few people knew about it.

The others had not seen Lin Xiufeng and only heard that he had left a few days ago, so they thought Lin Qiru was still at the base.

Fang Yuan knew that he couldn't keep the situation a secret for long, and it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to hide it from Zhao Youyue. In order to prevent Zhao Youyue from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, Fang Yuan did a lot of work.

The most important point is to pretend that Lin Qiru is still at the Lonely King Volcano Base.

So he found someone whose build looked similar from a distance and had them appear on the ground outside Lin Qiru's house for a while each day, deliberately preventing anyone from getting close and disturbing them.

This method was quite successful; several people who knew Lin Xiufeng was not at the base were kept in the dark.

Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru, wearing bamboo hats to conceal their faces, traveled happily. Once they left the territory of the Lonely King Volcano base, Lin Qiru said with some concern:

"Actually, Mei Xiaoxiao is right. I should stay at the base and guard the house."

Lin Xiufeng strongly disagreed with the idea of ​​'should'.

"Why are there so many 'shoulds'?"

"To put it bluntly, our relationship with Fantian is one of cooperation, where each of us gets what we need, so there's no need for us to be so self-sacrificing."

"You've been cooped up in the base for so long, you can't just stay there like a guardian statue forever!"

Lin Xiufeng didn't suddenly change her personality—

If it weren't for increasing the possibility of returning to life on Tianlan Star, he would never have become the leader of the anti-heaven organization.

This position sounds prestigious, but in reality, it's just a cog in a machine.

If everyone is a cog in the social machine, then the leader is a cog whose position can affect the operation of the machine.

They too are bound by the constraints of what they must do.

Simply put: I'm exhausted!

I don't have time to play!
Even taking a nap gets me sarcastic and critical comments from many people:
A good leader will strive to find more time to do important things; a leader who works nine to five and takes a nap is a lazy leader.

Lin Xiufeng refused to succumb to this sense of responsibility and insisted on working nine-to-five. After that time, no matter how big the problem was, don't come to him.

Either find someone else, or wait until tomorrow.

On this occasion, during a verbal battle with Mei Xiaoxiao and her anti-establishment faction, Lin Xiufeng declared:

"If you ask me to work an extra hour, I'll make you work three extra hours; if you ask me to double my efficiency, I'll make you triple your efficiency."

The crowd dispersed in anger, all saying that Lin Xiufeng was being outrageous.

They also felt that if Tianwei Lin Qiru were the leader, he would definitely be much more responsible than Lin Xiufeng.

When Lin Xiufeng heard about this, he smiled and said to Lin Qiru:
“These people are just delusional. At least I’m willing to do some work, but as for you—you would never agree to do this job!”

Lin Qiru smiled and clasped her hands together, speaking softly:

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"It can only be me! With your thin skin, how could you be the leader? You'd be bound by their responsibilities and exploited to death!"

Lin Xiufeng reminisced about lying flat on the blue planet Tianlan, having finally endured the long and arduous journey, thinking that she would be free once she passed her senior year of high school.

As a result, upon entering the other world of the Heavenly Martial Realm, they found themselves directly in a society without the rule of law!

Lin Xiufei treated the journey as a vacation, a vacation that she could enjoy with Xu Xinying.

Just like their vision for the future...

After entering the workforce, aren't holidays the perfect time to spend together?

However, the original plan was to spend time with my parents.

The two walked side by side through the dense forest, where no one else was around. They took off their straw hats and put them on their backs.

Lin Xiufeng's eyes lit up when he saw a broken tree ahead.

"A six-branched tree should be just ahead. The broken tree is probably a remnant of a battle where mutated beasts were eliminated."

"What would a dark red tree with one root and six branches look like?"

Lin Qiru had been curiously speculating, and the closer it got, the more she looked forward to it.
