The next morning, Du Feng's group of six set off. For safety's sake, the four of them, whose Cultivation was relatively high, protected Yang Wei and Lady Yangliu in the middle. It was not dangerous to set off from Sword Dragon City during the day. After all, the army of extraterrestrial demons had not migrated here.
Interestingly, however, Du Feng's group did not go to do their mission. Instead, they flew in the opposite direction.
According to his observation, the army of extraterrestrial demons was moving from the front. In other words, if they built the fortress in front, they would encounter them earlier. On the other hand, if the fortress was built at the rear, it would be attacked later. Moreover, with Sword Dragon City in front as a huge target, most of the extraterrestrial demons would focus their attacks here.
Of course, Du Feng's group could not go too far back, because there were other cities behind them. The high-level forest there was where the higher-ups of Coiling Dragon Realm lived. They would not allow them to build a fortress at the base of the city wall.
Therefore, Du Feng's group decided to build the fortress between Sword Dragon City and Saint Dragon City after a round of observation. There were no mountains between the two cities, nor would there be valleys. But it did not matter. They did not need mountains to block the two sides.
Du Feng changed his method and dug a hole in the ground. The hole had to be very deep, to the rock layer. Because the rock layer was hard and stable enough, they did not have to worry about extraterrestrial demons attacking from below. Then, they began to build their fortress above the rock layer.
Of course, the first morning was only enough time to dig the hole. With the six of them working together, they had only dug a small part of the hole. There was still a long way to go before they reached the rock layer.
"It's fine. We'll come back tomorrow. Let's do our mission first."
Du Feng saw that the sun was already high in the sky. There was only half a day left. They had to complete their mission for the day before sunset. His mission was easy. Most importantly, he had to help Yang Wei and Lady Yangliu complete their mission. Therefore, he could not delay it for too long.
He used an array to seal the entrance of the cave and then filled it with some loose soil. That way, it would not be visible from the outside. Others would not notice anything strange when they walked on it. Although it was a pit now, it would become a fortress for survival in the future.
What Du Feng didn't expect was that the density of the Coiled Dragon Boundary's soil was also very high. The deeper they dug, the more difficult it was to dig. Today, the six of them had only dug this deep. But this was good, because the denser it was, the stronger it was. Since the soil layer below was so strong, the rock layer must be even stronger.
The large group of students who had left were now gathering in the valley to build their castles. After all, they had the advantage in numbers. With tens of thousands of people working together to build the castle, the old students' Cultivation Level was high, and they had prepared all the necessary tools, so the construction speed was still very fast.
However, their situation was different from Du Feng's group. Du Feng's group of six only needed to complete today's task and they would be able to return to Sword Dragon City at night to continue living. They were different. They had to build the castle today and move in before dark.
Because once night fell, there might be a large number of Otherworldly Demons that would surge over. If the castle was not built by then, they could only fight head-on.
The afternoon's task was actually quite simple. Du Feng used the White Light Sword Art to kill a certain number of Otherworldly Demons and then stopped. He didn't kill too many. This was because if he killed too many, the City Lord Residence would find out. If they increased the difficulty next time, it would be troublesome.
Next, he specially crippled some Otherworldly Demons and let Lady Yangliu and Yang Wei kill them. This way, the two of them would be able to gather enough before night fell.
By the same logic, as long as they killed enough for the day, they would quickly stop and not let them kill too many. In the remaining time, Du Feng went to the valley to take a look. He mainly wanted to know how the old students' castles were being built.
He didn't go near, but observed from afar. This was because if he went near, others would think that he wanted to join. But once he joined, he would have to work together.
It had to be said that the old students were quite skilled. At this moment, the castle's exterior was already complete, and they were probably reinforcing it from the inside. If he guessed correctly, they didn't need to fight on the first day. This was because castles weren't cities. Cities were half-open, while castles were completely sealed.
This meant that as long as the castle was sturdy enough, with enough Strengthening Talismans and Defensive Talismans, it would be able to withstand the attacks of the Otherworldly Demons. The old students were all hiding inside and didn't need to come out to fight the Otherworldly Demons.
They weren't stupid either. The place they had chosen wasn't too far forward, and there was a certain distance between them and the Otherworldly Demon army. Therefore, they might not be attacked tonight. They might have to wait a few days before they could be put to use.
"Let's go back."
After Du Feng understood, he left with his friends. You go your own way, I'll go mine. Everyone has their own way.
Frankly speaking, the city, the castle, or his own underground fortress might not be able to last till the end. He also didn't know how long the calamity of the Otherworldly Demons would last. Now that the Coiling Dragon Realm had been sealed, the people inside couldn't leave, and the people outside couldn't enter either.
This meant that even if the next batch of new students wanted to be teleported over, they would be blocked by the barrier.
In the coming large-scale battles, both the local residents and foreign students would suffer casualties. The number of members of the Dragons would decrease. Only after this could they consider returning to the Immortal Realm to become a Sage.
"Haha, Brother Du, you really are something."
After returning to Sword Dragon City to hand in the mission, the Dragon Emperor danced with joy. Because Du Feng had guessed correctly again. As expected, they couldn't kill too many Otherworldly Demons today. It wasn't just anyone. As long as they chose to continue staying in Sword Dragon City … The number of missions they had to complete the next day was to add ten more Otherworldly Demons to the number they had killed today.
For those like Du Feng and the others who hadn't gone all out today, it was still fine. However, some of the younger ones had killed an extremely large number of Otherworldly Demons in order to show off. They were practically close to their limits. Adding another ten Otherworldly Demons on top of this was clearly very difficult to complete.
This wasn't a big deal. After all, they could make it through if they worked hard. However, the problem was, who knew if there would be another ten or twenty Otherworldly Demons the day after tomorrow? If this continued every day.
"What are you guys doing? Are you guys trying to force me to death?"
"That's right. I quit. I'm going to join my companions tomorrow."
As expected, some people couldn't take it anymore. They felt like they had been cheated. If this continued, sooner or later, they wouldn't be able to complete the mission. Once they couldn't complete the mission, they would be rejected. Rather than that, they might as well join those people who had built their own castles.
