Camp 03 was located within the Rock Forest.
The Rock Forest had no plants, only dark yellow rocks. Towering rock pillars were scattered throughout, and jagged, strange rocks were visible everywhere. Even the Monsters that lived here had characteristics of rocks.
The Monsters all had black and yellow stone skin. Although their surfaces were pitted and covered with cracks, looking like strange-shaped rocks from a distance, in reality, the rough and tough stone skin possessed both the hardness of rock and the flexibility of skin, slightly increasing the Monsters' defense.
However, slightly increasing the defense of the grunts couldn't change them much; at most, they became slightly more resistant super soldiers.
Therefore, when facing members, they were no different from other Monsters, and their fate was to be instantly killed with a single punch.
"Oh, oh, oh..."
Yuji Itadori fought among the sea of Monsters, fully focused on the battle.
Although he could kill a weak Monster with a single punch, once the number of Monsters reached a terrifying figure, even ants could kill an elephant.
Surrounded by countless Monsters, Yuji Itadori held his breath, concentrating. He fought with all his might against the Monsters that were pouncing on him from all directions. Any slight lapse in concentration could mean being ripped open by the Monsters.
It was precisely under such perilous circumstances that Yuji Itadori became stronger at an astonishing rate, like a dry sponge absorbing water. Both his use of Cursed Energy and his close-combat skills were improving at a visible speed.
But there was no need to worry about being torn to shreds by the Monsters. After all, the Terminal constantly monitored the wearer's surroundings. If it determined that the wearer's life was in danger, it would directly teleport them back to town.
If inside a dungeon, the teleport would send the user to the camp hospital.
Each teleport cost 200 gold.
Avoiding death for only 200 gold was a very worthwhile deal.
At the same time, in Megumi Fushiguro's dormitory at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School...
Satoru Gojo, sitting cross-legged, leaned forward. His left arm, placed in front of his chest, also extended, pushing Yuji Itadori's live stream towards Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki. His tone was enthusiastic.
"How about it? Just like I said, it's a very suitable place to level up, right? Want to go?"
Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki leaned back slightly, moving their faces away from the virtual screen. One looked shocked, the other speechless.
"Teacher Gojo, not everyone is Yuji Itadori. I don't have that kind of inhuman physical ability. If I were surrounded by those Monsters, there's a hundred percent chance I wouldn't survive a second. It's simply…"
Nobara Kugisaki crossed her arms in front of her chest. Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly froze, her eyes widening. She leaned close to the screen, staring blankly at Yuji Itadori, who was fighting the monsters, both surprised and delighted.
"Eh? Eh! Wh…why! Itadori…"
Nobara Kugisaki, who was kneeling, jumped up, landing with a "thump." She stood in a bow stance, pointing at the screen with her index finger, looking so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
Hearing this, Megumi Fushiguro looked at Nobara Kugisaki with extreme surprise.
You're just noticing this now?!
"So slow!"
Satoru Gojo clapped his hands. "Let's put that aside for now. Please answer my question, okay~~?"
"I'll go," Megumi Fushiguro said.
He understood Satoru Gojo pretty well. Even though the man's personality was awful, he was reliable in other ways.
"Excellent!" Satoru Gojo clapped his hands again.
"Ugh..." Nobara Kugisaki glanced at Satoru Gojo, then at Megumi Fushiguro, and then at Yuji Itadori on the screen. She shoved her right hand into her brown hair and scratched furiously, saying, annoyed, "Ugh, fine! I'll go too..."
"GOOD!" Satoru Gojo gave them a thumbs up, then retracted his hand. He pulled two Terminals from his pocket, handing one to Megumi Fushiguro and one to Nobara Kugisaki, saying, "One each."
The two of them took the Terminals, examined them for a moment, and put them on their left wrists.
The next instant, Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki's pupils dilated…
Camp 02 was situated within the Specter Jungle.
The camp was surrounded by pitch-black, bizarre trees, resembling the claws of some monstrous creature.
Of course, it only looked like that. The forest where Camp 02 was located was a forest composed of Specter Trees, and each tree housed many specters.
When specters were killed, they turned into a pile of Soul Sand, which was a material used to refine certain potions and forge certain equipment.
The quality of the Soul Sand varied depending on the specters' levels. In short, the stronger the specter, the higher the quality of the Soul Sand it turned into, and the more valuable it was.
Moreover, the Specter Trees could help the specters living inside them become stronger at an extremely slow rate. Similarly, the higher the quality of the Specter Tree, the faster it would help the specters become stronger, and the more valuable it was.
The forest was eerily silent. Not a sound could be heard. The Monsters were hiding within the Specter Trees, and they wouldn't appear unless disturbed.
There were many ways to disturb them, the simplest being...
Lumbering!
BANG!
The dull thud of a hatchet biting into wood echoed through the tranquil forest. A bone-chilling coldness abruptly materialized. Frost began to gather on the surface of the tree that had been struck. Dozens of spectral Monsters emerged from various points on the Specter Tree, all opening their mouths in unison.
"Aaaaaaaaaah————————!!!!!"
The Monsters' screams were piercing, capable of shattering glass and carrying for hundreds of meters.
The following second, a chorus of shrieks erupted throughout the forest. The Specter Trees trembled, and dust and debris swirled in the air.
The screams of countless Specters echoed, a sound even someone as powerful as Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't ignore.
But Zhang Zhiwei could ignore them, continuing to swing his hatchet as if he hadn't heard a thing.
The reason he could ignore the Specters' screams wasn't because he was old and hard of hearing, of course. It was because of the Ear Muffs he was wearing.
Every camp's shop had a recommended package containing items useful for the area the camp was in.
The Ear Muffs Zhang Zhiwei wore were from Camp 02's recommended package, and the hatchet he used for Lumbering was also from that package.
Sharpness +1, for faster Lumbering.
Spirit Breaker +1, for special attacks against Specters.
With a single swing of the hatchet, the Specters dissolved into Soul Sand wherever the blade passed, falling to the ground.
Thud!
The axe blade sank deep into the tree trunk.
In the live stream, some viewers were getting antsy watching this.
No need to fight Monsters, just wear Ear Muffs and chop trees. Anyone who could pick up a Hatchet could do it…
A godsend for ordinary people!
A small portion of the members were ordinary people, lacking strength and lacking ways to earn money.
But they also had wishes they wanted to fulfill, so they had been constantly seeking ways to make money.
And now, through Zhang Zhiwei's live stream, they felt like they'd found a way.
That's... Lumbering!
