Death… And Me Chapter 1606 Tinlin Forest

Chapter 1606 Tinlin Forest

The sect wasn't getting big too fast, which was good. After all, too many people at once would make it hard to manage. In the ten months since Destiny Avoidance Mode was activated, the sect had only gathered a little over two thousand people. It was a stark contrast to Freedom Sect back on the Zasfins' planet, for example.

In fact, the recruitment in the capital only got them another 53 people. Of course, it's not that they couldn't get more, but instead, Rean and Roan didn't want to stay there for long. As always, most of these people were the type that didn't have a much better choice. With that, the twins intended to recruit more as they moved through Aefer.

Roan then acquired the information about the demon beast territories in the country. After that, he selected one territory where one could find a wide variety of demon beasts. Luckily, that territory was along their way to the northwest, the Tinlin Forest.

He obviously teleported to the city closest to it before heading with Kentucky to the forest. A good thing was that that forest was frequently used by the cultivators of the area, so it had a settlement nearby. It was there that Roan got a map of the forest and copied it onto several different jade slips.

*Vup, vup, vup...*

After leaving the settlement and entering the outskirts of the forest, he brought all the cultivators who signed up for demon beast hunting. Of course, only a few actually selected this job among those who got into the top 5% in the previous test. The rest were given this task and had no right to refuse since their scores were lower. In total, 200 or so cultivators had to take the job, with the majority being Core and Soul Fusion or Nascent Soul Realm ones.

"Alright, I believe all of you know what to do already. All of you will go into this forest and capture demon beasts." Following that, Roan threw each one of them a jade slip. "I marked on the map where I'll be staying. Once you capture the demon beast, you have to bring it to me so that I can throw it into the demon beast forest in our Dimensional Realm."

Someone immediately raised a hand and asked, "Roan, can we make groups for the hunting?"

Roan didn't mind, saying, "Sure. I would prefer if you went alone so that you could gain experience, but I won't stop you from joining forces."

"That's not what I meant," the same guy clarified. "It's just that defeating the demon beasts isn't the hard thing. Instead, carrying them back to where you will be waiting for us is. That's why I asked if we could make groups. It will be much faster and easier if we have more than just one person carrying them. Demon beasts get bigger the higher their cultivations, after all."

Roan had to admit the guy was right. "What's your name?"

"Tulio."

Roan nodded. "You're correct. I forgot about the difficulty of carrying the defeated Demon Beasts. Very well, then all of you should form groups so that you can carry the demon beasts. Of course, try to fight them on your own so that you can put the cultivation techniques you got in our sect to the test."

Tulio and the others nodded in response. Of course, there were those who still preferred to go alone. Fosxin, one of the top members during the last test, was one of them. Fosxin was at the Peak Stage of the Core Formation Realm when he joined the System Sect. However, after being in there for a few months, he already broke through to the Initial Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.

Rean, who was also there, reminded everyone. "All of you know that I can heal pretty much everything. Everyone in the sect who arrived with old injuries, missing limbs, and things like that had them all fixed. However, I can't bring the dead back to life, nor can I heal destroyed cultivations. Do not head out there expecting that I can do everything. Make sure you prioritize your own lives above all else. You have no use for the sect dead."

Everyone nodded and was just about to leave when Rean stopped them again. "Wait, there's one more thing."

Soon after, Rean took out over two hundred weapons from the Dimensional Realm. They were all made based on the information he had about these cultivators. "Thankfully, your cultivations are very low. I was able to make a new weapon suitable to your own cultivations in just a few days of work. In any case, these ones should be many times better than anything you guys have at the moment, so take them."

"Impressive!"

"Holy s.h.i.+t, so sharp!"

"I've never had such high-level equipment before."

"Just how many Sect Points would this even cost?"

Rean smiled in response, telling them, "These weapons aren't yours, though. You can only use them to capture the demon beasts during this hunt. If you really want to take these weapons for yourselves, you will have to pay for it."

"Pay for it?" Everyone immediately remembered. "How many Sect Points will they cost?" There wasn't a single person there who didn't fall in love with their weapons.

However, Rean shook his head, explaining, "It will be different this time. Quite a few of you don't want to be here, so I thought you wouldn't put that much effort into this hunting. With that being said, to pay for these weapons, you will need to capture at least ten demon beasts with equal cultivation level as yourselves."

"What?!" Everyone was taken aback to hear that. "Is that even possible?"

Roan snorted as he answered in Rean's place. "Hmph! You got my training and the sect's cultivation techniques. If you can't at least defeat demon beasts at the same cultivation level, then you don't deserve to be in the System Sect at all. Trust me, you spent these last few months following the training schedule I gave you while using the sect cultivation techniques. You're definitely stronger than average cultivators and demon beasts of your level. This is your chance of being rewarded for it and proving that you aren't just leeches in our sect."

Some still had their doubts. They intended to capture lower-level demon beasts just to be safe. However, they truly didn't want to part with Rean's weapons, so they decided to give it a try. Besides, Roan did allow them to form groups, so they had no excuses anymore. "Understood."
