The Sky Solitude Mountains stretched for millions of miles, which was comparable to the Flaming Battlefield that Jian Wushuang had been to before.
In such a vast territory, the effect of a mere 100-man squad guarding this place was negligible.
For several days, Jian Wushuang and the others patrolled in the Sky Solitude Mountains, but they did not see a single Demonic Beast or Demonic Beast.
Jian Wushuang felt helpless and did not expect to obtain Monster Cores in the Sky Solitude Mountains. Instead, he began to improve his strength.
"I've reached a bottleneck in my comprehension of World Origin and Slaughter Origin. It's impossible for me to condense the ninth Origin Mark in a short time. Since I can't improve my Origin, I'll find a way to improve my Sword Principle!" Jian Wushuang made up his mind.
From that day onwards, other than spending some of his energy patrolling the Sky Solitude Mountain Range, he spent most of his time cultivating his swordsmanship and sword skill alone.
He had a lot of room for improvement in his Heart-killing Sword Technique and Multifold Realm.
It was peaceful in the Sky Solitude Mountains. The squad of experts under Jian Wushuang's command was quite leisurely. They were totally different from the squads in the East Camp who often fought with Demonic Beasts.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed under this calm atmosphere.
"After one month, we can finally leave this desolate place." Qing Huo stood side by side with Jian Wushuang with a hint of excitement on his face.
During this month, not only Qing Huo, but also the sergeants under Jian Wushuang's command felt bored.
Now, the one month of guarding had finally passed.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be another 100-man team coming to take over from us," Jian Wushuang said. He and Qing Huo stood there and waited quietly.
However, after half a day had passed, no one had come. In the end, only an ordinary soldier came to pass on the message.
"The commander has ordered that because of the battle with the demonic beasts a few days ago, the other squads have suffered great losses and are short of manpower. Therefore, the Sky Solitude Mountain Range will not be rotated this month. The tenth 100-man squad will continue to guard this place."
With that, the soldier ignored the reactions of Jian Wushuang and the others and left.
"How could this be?"
The sergeants of the tenth squad immediately burst into an uproar.
"Not exchanging anymore? How could this be? " Qing Huo frowned and his face turned livid. "According to the rules of the East Camp, the 100-man squads like us who guard the rear will be rotated once a month. How can they not be rotated?"
"Insufficient manpower?"
"Hmph, what shitty lack of manpower? In this godforsaken place, there's no chance to fight against a demon beast. Those hundred-man teams with insufficient manpower are just right to guard this place."
Qing Huo growled. "In my opinion, it's obvious that Fang Han is deliberately messing with us. And it's very likely that this matter has something to do with Jin Ling!"
"Otherwise, how could we be so unlucky as to be directly sent to the Sky Solitude Mountain Range when we just arrived in the East Camp? And the squad that guarded here last month didn't even stay here for ten days."
"Jin Ling?" Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes. "It's possible."
He had stayed here for a month and knew a little about the East Camp. He knew that Jin Ling's father, Emperor Golden Snake, was a general in the East Camp.
As a general, he had a lot of power. As the only son of Emperor Golden Snake, Jin Ling had to be respected by the commanders of the East Camp.
"Brother Wushuang, what are you going to do?" Qing Huo looked at Jian Wushuang.
In the past month, he had become closer to Jian Wushuang and had changed the way he addressed him. He used to call Jian Wushuang Little Friend Wushuang, but now he called him Brother Wushuang.
"Let's wait for another month," Jian Wushuang said in a low voice.
"I'm not sure if Fang Han is really targeting me. I'll bear with it for one month. If it's not changed next month …"
Jian Wushuang's eyes flashed with a cold light.
He never caused trouble, but he was not afraid of it.
After all, Fang Han was a commander and his direct superior. If he wanted to intimidate Jian Wushuang at the beginning, Jian Wushuang could accept it. But if he just wanted to make trouble for Jian Wushuang, Jian Wushuang would not be polite.
"Well, let's wait for another month." Qing Huo nodded heavily.
Jian Wushuang and Qing Huo spent a lot of effort to pacify the sergeants. The sergeants of the tenth squad could only wait for another month in the Sky Solitude Mountain Range.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed and it was time for another rotation.
However, this time, not a single person came forward to pass on the message, not to mention the other 100-man teams coming forward to take over.
As the sun was about to set, the sergeants of the tenth squad were in a terrible mood.
"It's already been two months, but no other 100-man team has come to replace us. There's not even a messenger. What's going on?"
"If this goes on, I'll be bored to death. I'd rather go to the Eight Great Cities, or go to the Holy Land as a guard, or even run errands than stay in this godforsaken place. It's been two months, and I haven't even seen a ghost."
"I heard that our captain offended someone in the East Camp, so the commander sent him to the Sky Solitude Mountain Range. Obviously, it's against him."
"Is that so? Who did our captain offend? "
"I heard that it's the son of a general in the East Camp."
"Bastard, a bunch of bastards. How dare they take revenge on him!"
Many of the soldiers were furious.
On a hill, Jian Wushuang stood there with his hands behind his back, watching the sunset disappear into the horizon.
"Last month, at least someone came to pass the message. But this month, no one came to pass the message." Jian Wushuang's face was cold.
"Brother Wushuang." Qing Huo came over. "It's been two months. Our brothers are all angry. I've tried to appease them with the other squad leaders, but it didn't work."
"I understand." Jian Wushuang nodded slightly and said, "Qing Huo, tell them to wait for one more night. Tomorrow, I'll go to the East Camp to find Fang Han."
"You'll go? Alone? "Qing Huo looked at Jian Wushuang in surprise.
"Don't worry. I'll be enough." Jian Wushuang smiled coldly.
"Alright then, I'll take my leave." After saying that, Qing Huo left to pacify his subordinates.
Jian Wushuang stood alone at the top of the hill and muttered, "Fang Han, Jin Ling … I tolerated you for a month, but now you're taking advantage of me. Do you really think I'm a sick cat if I don't show my power?"
