A quick glance revealed that all ten leaders had their heads bowed, and not one of them responded.
Immediately, Lin Xiaofei sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but think of what Manager Luo had said: this place was not up to him to decide.
These leaders seemed to work together very well, as if they knew something, but they were unwilling to speak.
Of the 30,000 spirit herbs in stock, 20,000 are missing; this clearly cannot have disappeared into thin air.
Lin Xiaofei thought about it and realized that these leaders wouldn't dare to take away 20,000 low-grade spiritual herbs; otherwise, if they were caught, their lives would be in danger.
The only one who dared to take away the stock of spiritual herbs was Li Guanghui, who had previously been stationed here.
As a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, Li Guanghui took away the stored spiritual herbs, and even the leaders of these people didn't dare to stop him.
You should know that if you offend a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it will be very difficult for them to survive here.
Of course, this is just Lin Xiaofei's guess, and there is no conclusive evidence.
"Since all ten of you leaders are here, there may be some things that are inconvenient to say openly."
"Then you may all leave now and think it over carefully. Starting tomorrow, each of you will come to see me individually and report to me separately."
Lin Xiaofei waved his hand and said calmly.
From the moment he met Manager Luo, he sensed something was amiss and questioned Manager Luo, but the latter just laughed it off.
These ten leaders are now reluctant to say much.
Therefore, he plans to try a one-on-one interview to avoid being questioned in a large group.
Sure enough, after three days of questioning, three of them revealed the identities of the ten leaders and some things that Li Guanghui had done while stationed here.
This gave Lin Xiaofei a deeper understanding of the low-level spirit field area.
Knowing that five of the leaders were promoted by Li Guanghui, and that one of the leaders had a good relationship with Li Guanghui, Lin Xiaofei felt something was amiss.
Why didn't Li Guanghui take these five leaders with him when he left?
It should be noted that Li Guanghui could bring these five people into the second-grade spirit field area with just a word.
For this reason, Lin Xiaofei spent two days secretly observing the five leaders. He overheard them saying that they actually wanted to report some of the things that had happened here to Li Guanghui.
This made Lin Xiaofei realize that it was necessary to reorganize these leaders.
On the sixth day, Lin Xiaofei followed the others into the spirit field, observing the more than one thousand people from time to time.
Watching the group of people each use a low-level spiritual plant technique, Lin Xiaofei strolled through the spiritual fields. As he passed a low-level spiritual field, a voice came from behind him.
"Sir, I, Jiang Xin, have something to report."
Lin Xiaofei stopped and turned around. He saw an old man with a ruddy complexion approaching him with a respectful demeanor.
Lin Xiaofei glanced around, sizing up the old man, and seeing that he possessed a strong aura, indicating he was at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, he said:
What's up?"
“Last night, more than twenty red-eyed snow bears rushed into our spirit field, killing one of the night watchmen, seriously injuring seven or eight others, and devouring more than a thousand low-grade spirit herbs.”
If this continues, even if we stay in the spirit fields all day cultivating low-level spirit herbs, it won't be enough for the beasts to devour. Our monthly profits will then be greatly reduced.
At the same time, they also face life-threatening dangers, so who would be willing to continue cultivating low-level spiritual herbs?
We hope that the garrison commander will drive away or kill any of the strange beasts in the vicinity, so that we can cultivate low-level spiritual herbs here in peace.
Jiang Xin bowed slightly and said with a serious expression.
"The person in charge here didn't report what happened last night to me?"
Lin Xiaofei frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
Afterwards, he asked Jiangxin about some things and learned that the other party genuinely wanted what was best for everyone and wanted to get rid of the surrounding monsters, but did not have the strength to do so.
After a moment's thought, Lin Xiaofei said:
The red-eyed snow bears you mentioned are a danger to you, and also detrimental to the medicinal herbs we cultivate.
More than five months later, we still need to collect 150,000 low-grade spiritual herbs. It seems that if we don't drive away this group of red-eyed snow bears, it will be difficult for us to complete the task assigned to us.
However, while driving away the Crimson-Eyed Snow Bear, we can also cultivate 100 acres of low-level spirit fields, which will allow us to expand the planting of low-level spirit herbs.
Since you reported this matter to me, you should also be involved. I see that your level of expertise is not low, so I will promote you to be the leader here.
Next, you must tell everyone that starting tomorrow, we will go together to cultivate the spirit fields and, while we're at it, drive away the strange beasts.
"Thank you for thinking of us menial disciples, sir."
Jiang Xin bowed slightly and said respectfully.
Since Li Guanghui left a month ago, no one has dared to drive the red-eyed snow bear away in a direct confrontation.
During this month, these menial disciples were attacked by red-eyed snow bears while working in the spirit fields, resulting in the deaths of more than 120 people.
During this period, while working in the spirit fields, these menial disciples always felt uneasy, fearing that they would encounter the Crimson-Eyed Snow Bear again.
Moreover, during the multiple attacks by the Red-Eyed Snow Bears, on one occasion, he saw from afar several top-tier exotic beasts and a first-tier Red-Eyed Snow Bear among the Red-Eyed Snow Bear herd.
At that time, those ferocious red-eyed snow bears charged at an extremely fast speed, killing one person with a single swipe of their claws. They killed more than thirty people in a row, which terrified him, and he turned and ran away.
Thinking of the first-tier Crimson-Eyed Snow Bear, Jiang Xin hesitated for a moment before saying, "
"My lord, I think it's best to just drive away the red-eyed snow bears near the spirit fields, and not cultivate them at all."
"Why not cultivate the spiritual fields?"
Lin Xiaofei asked in confusion.
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, the edge of this low-grade spirit field is a vast snow forest. If we gather everyone to cultivate the low-grade spirit field together, we will inevitably have to cut down some snow forest trees."
Within this snow forest dwells a first-tier red-eyed snow bear, which considers the snow forest its territory.
"If we cut down the snow forest, wouldn't that alert that first-tier demonic beast? If it leads hundreds of red-eyed snow bears over, wouldn't we be in trouble?"
Jiang Xin's heart tightened, and she spoke.
"What you said makes some sense."
"But with me backing you up, even if that first-tier Crimson-Eyed Snow Bear leads hundreds of strange beasts, plus our thousand-plus men, are we really afraid of them?"
Lin Xiaofei smiled and said.
It should be noted that when he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he had already killed a first-tier demonic beast. Now, he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his strength is six or seven times greater than that of someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Therefore, in his view, a first-tier red-eyed snow bear was no match for him at all.
