Thus, Qin Feng spent his day traversing the land, meticulously recording numerous spirit energy gathering spots, ranging from level 1 to level 10. These locations were more than enough to keep him occupied for a month.
Even if he couldn't handle the higher-level spirit energy gathering spots at his current strength, the sheer number of ordinary ones was vast. It was unlikely he could clear all the monsters in these areas within a single month.
However, the thought that these spirit energy gathering spots might not necessarily contain monsters immediately made Qin Feng feel that they weren't enough. If these were places where human experts gathered, forming spirit energy gathering spots, he wouldn't engage them. With that consideration, these locations were sufficient for his month's work, possibly even leaving him a few days for rest.
What Qin Feng found peculiar was that after a full day of flying on his sword, he hadn't circled the entire planet. He hadn't returned to his starting point but found himself in a completely unfamiliar location. His chat panel indicated he was in Area #3756, while Qin Feng vaguely recalled leaving from an area within the first hundred. This meant he had traversed over 3,000 different areas in a single day, yet still hadn't reached his original starting point.
Qin Feng had no idea how large this planet was, nor how much further he needed to fly to return to his starting point.
All he knew was that this wild land was an incredibly vast planet, far beyond his comprehension. The only way to ascertain its size was to launch a satellite into the sky. However, Qin Feng had no intention of doing so. Even if he knew the planet's size, it would offer him no benefit. Conversely, launching a satellite required a significant amount of money, and spending a large sum for a purpose that yielded no advantage was highly impractical.
Since he had arrived in a completely unfamiliar region, all he needed to do was follow the spirit energy locations he had recorded and fight his way back, step by step. This would grant him immense benefits and maximize his level progression.
With this in mind, Qin Feng landed on the ground. He carefully sensed the current location of his Red Alert army. They were approximately one-third of the distance away from him. After all, despite their formidable strength, the Red Alert army was still slower than him, who could fly through the air. It would take them about six more hours to fully catch up.
To avoid wasting this time, Qin Feng decided to split his forces. He would simultaneously direct his Red Alert army to converge on him and, using the recorded coordinates, have them clear monsters along the way. He, on the other hand, would proceed back from his current location, following the monster positions recorded by the coordinates. This way, by the time he rendezvoused with his Red Alert army, almost all the monsters in this region would have been eliminated. It was a win-win strategy, maximizing his time and his gains.
Therefore, Qin Feng decisively commanded his Red Alert army to advance. The closest spirit energy gathering spot to the Red Alert army was a Level 4 one. Qin Feng vaguely recalled that Level 4 spirit energy gathering spots were quite powerful, and any monsters within them would be terrifyingly strong, far exceeding legendary monsters. However, Qin Feng was confident that his over 3,000 elite Red Alert soldiers, when combined, could definitely defeat the monsters in a Level 4 spirit energy gathering spot. Furthermore, he would gain a clear understanding of the strength of the monsters hidden within a Level 4 spirit energy gathering spot.
This would also make his subsequent actions much simpler and easier.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng continued to move backward, following the coordinates recorded by the "Round Sky Square Earth" chessboard to find a monster in a Level 3 spirit energy gathering spot.
Monsters of this level posed no difficulty for Qin Feng; he could easily slay them while simultaneously multitasking and commanding his Red Alert army in another battle.
Thus, the Red Alert army followed Qin Feng's command and located the designated coordinate. A cave gradually appeared before them. This scenario was strikingly similar to Qin Feng's first foray into a secret realm. The spirit energy emanated from this cave, proving the presence of powerful monsters within and an unusually dense concentration of spirit energy. The monsters inside were far stronger than Sword Saints.
What threats lurked within? Qin Feng did not know. However, entering this narrow cave entrance meant at most a one-on-one confrontation with a monster. This offered no advantage to his massive Red Alert army. He had to widen the cave entrance to allow his Red Alert army to deploy their formations, ensuring absolute safety.
Every elite Red Alert soldier was precious to him; he could not afford to let any of them die easily. It was important to remember that cultivating such battle-hardened elite Red Alert soldiers required immense effort from Qin Feng. If he hadn't encountered that powerful entity in the Extreme Desert, cultivating such a large number of elite Red Alert soldiers would have been an impossible dream.
Therefore, these elite Red Alert soldiers must not suffer casualties easily.
With this thought, Qin Feng commanded his Red Alert army to act immediately, beginning to excavate the mountain surrounding the cave entrance, aiming to flatten the entire peak. This would remove the terrain advantage for the monsters, giving him a significant edge.
Qin Feng was not idle either. While directing the Red Alert army to excavate the mountain, he flew on his sword, rapidly heading towards the Level 3 spirit energy gathering spot.
Upon arriving at the location, Qin Feng was startled by the scene before him. It turned out that this Level 3 spirit energy gathering spot was not a secret realm but an exposed monster swarm.
Two legendary monsters, leading five overlord-class monsters, were gathered there. Simultaneously, numerous commander-class and regular monsters were slowly approaching.
Witnessing this scene, Qin Feng focused his attention on his chat panel. He saw many characters he couldn't understand appearing in the panel. These characters had very peculiar appearances, seemingly not from the language of his world.
Seeing these strange characters, Qin Feng harbored a bold guess: this planet hadn't just teleported everyone from his world. Intelligent life forms from other planets might have also been teleported here.
With this thought, Qin Feng no longer hesitated. He urgently purchased a translation device from the shop, hoping to convert these languages into text he could comprehend.
Before long, he found the "Universal Language Translator," priced at 100,000 gold.
Such a sum was unaffordable for ordinary people, but for Qin Feng, it was a trivial matter.
