The traveling team prepared to go their separate ways after leaving the territory.

"Take care of yourself, and don't rush into things blindly." Before Zhou Zhengping left, he couldn't help but say something to Zhou Bai.

In Hope Village, he never cared about Zhou Bai's hunting of monsters alone, because he knew that within the territory, Zhou Bai could know the movements of monsters.

But outside the territory, the situation is different. The number and level of monsters are unpredictable, so it is better to be careful, especially since Zhou Bai went to the town of Benguela. The monsters outside are definitely different from those in Hope Village.

"I know, Dad. You should be careful too." Zhou Bai also warned. Zhou Zhengping went to Aberdovich Village. According to Bayer, there are several kinds of fruits and vegetables produced there. Therefore, many caravans and mercenary teams from many territories would travel thousands of miles to Aberdovich Village. The fruits and vegetables sold very cheaply in Aberdovich Village could be sold several times more expensively in the big territories. Aberdovich Village was relatively stable for this reason.

"Yeah." Zhou Zhengping nodded, then left with his men.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xingteng, Cao Jingshan, Ling Mingzhi and Lucas left with their teams respectively. Before leaving, each of them greeted Zhou Bai with a hint of respect in their attitude.

Many of the people who were traveling with them saw this scene and looked somewhat shocked.

Zhou Bai was also a prominent figure in the territory before, but he was just an equal when interacting with several captains of the territory's soldier teams. In fact, because they had people under their command, their status was slightly higher than that of Zhou Bai, the lone ranger.

Even if some people say that Zhou Bai's contribution is high, she must be aiming for the position of village chief, and the position of village chief will definitely be hers in the future. But after all, she is not there yet, and is still far from the 10,000 contribution points. Who knows if there will be any changes in the middle? After all, Zhou Bai is leading the way, and there are many people chasing after her in secret!

...

...

But unexpectedly, the sudden task of acting village chief allowed Zhou Bai to take the position immediately.

And this position is well deserved.

At least, both the NPC and the captain of the soldier team agreed.

As he thought about it, the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Bai suddenly changed.

He had made up his mind and would definitely be more cautious in dealing with Zhou Bai.

After the other people left, there were only about 200 people left in the team. Most of them looked at Zhou Bai, waiting for her reaction.

"Let's go! Try to reach the town of Benguela before dark." Zhou Bai said.

Bayer and others had worked hard to establish her prestige, and she couldn't let them down, so she solidified her title as the team leader.

"Yes." Everyone agreed one after another.

Immediately afterwards, led by several minotaurs and tiger-headed men sent by O'Neill, the team headed towards the town of Benguela.

Ellis, who was assigned to the team, looked at Zhou Bai with a strange look.

When Bayer introduced Zhou Bai the day before, he felt that Zhou Bai's identity was not simple, but he did not expect that in just two days, she had become the village chief.

In other territories, the village chief is basically the lord's most trusted confidant. In many cases, the lord does not even need to show up and leaves all matters to the village chief.

The village chief is second only to one man.

In addition, as the territory develops, the village chief will become a town mayor or mayor, and if the lord wishes, he can also be given a title.

Zhou Bai also reached great heights in one step.

He unconsciously thought about a question.

That is, Zhou Bai's promotion to the position means that she has a close relationship with the lord of Hope Village?

The Lord of Hope Village is indeed somewhat mysterious.

But it is also true that they have been able to build Hope Village into this state in such a short period of time, which is truly amazing.

Since we don't know who the lord is, making friends with Zhou Bai is also a good choice.

Gradually, as they got farther and farther away from Hope Village, magical beasts began to appear around.

When the monster saw Zhou Bai and his group, it rushed towards them.

Fortunately, those who traveled today were all experienced professionals, and when the monsters arrived, they were dealt with in no time.

In fact, Zhou Bai didn't even have a chance to fight back under the protection of O'Neill and other orcs.

But as the journey progressed, the number and level of monsters they encountered increased.

Near Hope Village, the monsters are basically over level 10. Occasionally, a high-level monster will appear, but it will not be higher than level 15. Of course, as the territory has been integrated into the Stan Continent, more monsters above level 15 have become visible to the naked eye over time, but most of them are outside the territory.

In fact, it also illustrates a point.

The continent of Stan is definitely not peaceful.

This point became even clearer after Zhou Bai and his group encountered magical beasts one after another.

You can only fight all the way forward.

Fortunately, the monsters attacked in waves, giving them a short chance to rest.

In this way, the team moved forward slowly, and no one dared to relax throughout the whole process, and soon they stepped into a new area - the swamp.

I had originally planned to leave safely through a small path nearby, but then I heard tiny noises coming from all directions.

The sound of "hiss, hiss, hiss..." came from all directions, and everyone's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Obviously, from this sound, they could already guess what kind of monster was about to appear.

Sure enough, one magic snake after another crawled out from the grass beside the swamp and appeared in front of them. Soon after, some more crawled out from the swamp.

[Warcraft: Storm Serpent]

【grade:**】

[Introduction: Wind-type monster, unique skill Storm Breath, extremely fast! ]

【property:**】

Zhou Bai basically couldn't tell the level of the monsters. It should be said that the monsters outside the Hope Village were basically invisible.

The level of these professionals is the lowest in the Stan continent.

It’s really too far away from Hope Village, and I’m afraid life will be difficult.

It is really difficult to do business between territories!

"These storm snakes are all above level 15. Everyone, be careful. When they release their skill Storm Breath, there will be venom hidden in it. If you are touched, your health will continue to drop unless you have a special antidote." When Ellis saw this group of snakes, he immediately spoke.

Of course, even such a short passage reveals their insight.

They were able to read the introduction of Warcraft and knew about the Storm Serpent's skill, Storm Breath, but they didn't know that it contained hidden venom.

This is the information gap!

They hope that if the village wants to maintain long-term stability in this world, it must fully integrate into the world, communicate more with the local territory, understand this world, and know the rules of survival in this world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai's eyes became more determined.

While they were talking, a group of storm snakes were already attacking them.

The entire team has spontaneously formed different teams to deal with it.

The minimum number of people in a group is five.

As more and more territory professionals have developed professions in different directions, the team's combat methods are no longer as primitive as before.

The team basically includes swordsmen, mercenaries, magicians, and archers, who complement each other. As for auxiliary, the number of magicians will basically be increased.

The magician profession opens and calls upon the elements in the air to fight, but not all magicians are all-rounders and there will always be some biases.

For example, some people have an affinity with water, so it is easy for them to mobilize the water element and summon it with ease. However, other elements may not be summoned even after trying for a long time.

The same goes for other magicians.

Therefore, in the team, the more aggressive elements such as gold and fire act as attackers, while the wood and earth elements occasionally play the role of assistants. The vines of the wood element and the earth walls, earth piles and earth thorns of the earth element can all play a role of protection and delay.

As for Zhou Bai, he was also facing a storm snake at this time.

Seeing O'Neill following him as if ready to protect him, Zhou Bai said directly: "Don't worry about me, go deal with the other Storm Snakes! I can handle it."

Zhou Bai often fights against monsters alone, and has long known how to do it. She came out to gain experience. It is impossible for others to constantly accumulate experience points while she is under the protection of others!

O'Neill also understood Zhou Bai's character. Seeing that she didn't need it, he didn't stay with her. However, he still paid attention to Zhou Bai's movements from the side, and would rush over to help her if she was in danger.

The entire team fought against the group of storm snakes, using all kinds of methods.

After giving the reminder, Ellis immediately led several people in the team into combat.

The Storm Serpent was no problem at all for these mercenaries who had been away for a long time. In addition, their levels were similar to those of the monsters, so they could easily deal with the monsters they faced.

While looking for the next target, someone on the side couldn't help but said to Ellis: "Ellis, look!"

Looking in the direction pointed by the person next to him, Ellis saw a swordsman holding a sword. When facing the attack of the magic snake, he was caught off guard and was almost hit in the face.

However, he coughed before the snake's head reached his face and mobilized the magic elements to build an earth wall in front of him. When the snake's head hit the earth wall, he quickly stabbed the snake's vital point with the sword.

The demon snake rolled over instantly because it was hit in the vitals. The others took this opportunity and launched various attacks towards the demon snake, and it died in a short while.

However, this team did not even think about checking their catch and went straight to the next one.

What Ellis cared about was not how good their teamwork was, but that every professional among them seemed to be a magician.

In that brief moment, he saw several people, who he considered to be swordsmen and mercenaries, using magic.

Could it be that all the professionals in Hope Village are magicians? ? ?

You know, not everyone can unleash magical talent.

To become a magician really depends on personal talent. If you don't have magical talent when you advance to level 10, then you will never be able to become a magician in your life. You can only go the physical system, but the physical system is limited to a certain extent. In the first 20 levels, you may be strong, stronger than magicians of the same level, but after level 20, the higher the level, the more adverse the gap will be.

In this way, if the professionals in Hope Village become powerful, they will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored.

Then, Ellis continued to observe.

Confirmed this idea with other mercenaries.

Surprisingly, every one of these professionals coming out of Hope Village is a magician, and some have even started another profession.

Cultivate both the magic and the body!

"If I hadn't heard that they upgraded step by step, I would really doubt whether they had some secret method."

“How enviable!”

"They look weak now, but in the future..."

“This Hope Village is really nice.”

“Ellis, maybe we can really develop here.”

“…”

Soller Town is indeed much more prosperous than here, and Hope Village cannot catch up with it in a short time. But the problem is that Soller Town is too good. There are many professionals in the territory, and they have no way to make a name for themselves in Soller Town.

But Hope Village is different. It is still very weak now, but it is visibly going to become a rising star in the future.

If they develop in Hope Village earlier, they can lay a solid foundation earlier, which is much better than staying in the small town of Soller.

Actually, they are still tourists now, because they want to take a look at Hope Village.

But now, they are a little impatient.

If they had known earlier that they would have observed more during the two days in Hope Village and discovered this earlier, perhaps they would have made up their mind sooner.

They knew that if Hope Village wanted to rise to the top, it would not depend on rank but on contribution.

It seems that there are also contribution rewards for this trip.

Ellis listened to their words and looked at Zhou Bai who was fighting alone against a level 16 Storm Serpent.

Judging from the level alone, Zhou Bai should have been overwhelmed against the Storm Serpent, but Zhou Bai was able to handle it with ease, and all her skills were brought to the extreme in her hands.

This is an achievement that was achieved through hard work.

Zhou Bai has successfully become the village chief, but she is still working so hard. This shows her character. Hope Village under her leadership must be good.

Not to mention her, there is also the mysterious lord behind her, who is hiding behind the scenes and running the entire territory. He is also very capable.

The leaders followed suit. Even though other professionals were not as good as Zhou Bai in applying skills, their overall performance was also steady and solid.

Ellis looked at this and had an idea in his mind.

"After we go back, we will apply to become residents of Hope Village, and then we will start from scratch. With our experience in the wild and in many territories over the years, we will have plenty of opportunities." Ellis said directly, with a confident look on his face.

His confidence came from knowing that Hope Village knew nothing about the Stan Continent.

The other people had no objection either.

At this moment, the mentality of Ellis and his group became completely different.

The next moment, he devoted himself to killing the Storm Serpent with a more positive attitude.

There is strength in numbers. With the efforts of more than 200 people, this wave of dozens of monsters were quickly wiped out.

After eliminating them, Zhou Bai asked everyone to rest on the spot.

There has not been any peace along the way, and everyone must be mentally exhausted.

The most important thing is that there are territorial disputes among Warcraft, and this group of storm snakes should be the overlord of this swamp.

In the short term, their territory will not be occupied, which is a good opportunity for them to rest.

Coincidentally, it was almost noon.

As soon as they heard about taking a break, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They really didn't expect that this journey would be so arduous. There was a constant stream of Warcraft, and they were all high-level Warcraft. Level 15 and above had become the norm.

Moreover, they could feel that the level of the monsters was gradually increasing, and it was becoming more and more difficult for them to deal with them.

But now that we have come this far, we have to persevere no matter what.

Although it was a bit hard, their rewards were great.

"After leaving Hope Village, the number of monsters increased and their levels became higher and higher. They were too difficult to deal with."

"Luckily, we came with a large group this time. If it was a small group, we would have died outside easily."

"It's mainly because we don't understand Warcraft. Their skills are really hard to defend against."

"It really is thanks to you guys for reminding me more."

As they talked, many people's attention was focused on Ellis and others.

They did not forget that it was Ellis who reminded them of the characteristics of the Storm Serpent.

"We often survive in the wild, so we have a little experience." Ellis himself wanted to integrate into Hope Village, so his attitude was much kinder at this moment.

"What kind of monsters will we encounter next? Will the level be higher?" someone asked subconsciously.

They have only walked less than half the distance!

"I don't know what kind of monsters we will encounter later. We have never been along this route before. Even if we have been here before, the world of Warcraft is changing rapidly and the territory is changed frequently, so we cannot be sure. But we have collected some information. If we encounter any, we will tell you. As for the level, the closer we are to the town of Benguela, the higher the level of the monsters we will encounter. At that time, we may encounter monsters above level 20. But don't worry, monsters above level 20 are considered small beast kings. They basically will not appear in batches. There is basically only one monster in a group." Ellis introduced briefly.

Listening to his introduction, everyone's heart was lifted.

Even if there was only one, it would be enough to give them a hard time. If they encountered high-level monsters continuously, their magic points and physical strength might not be able to recover! Then they would be at the mercy of others.

But fortunately, there are enough of them, so they can just take turns when the time comes.

Just like that, everyone changed their battle plan on the spot.

You always have to keep some energy to conserve it and take turns moving forward.

The rest was only for a moment, and the group continued on their way.

And the rest of the journey was filled with fighting one after another.

However, with the presence of Ellis and his group of knowledgeable mercenaries, they were able to deal with the monsters much more smoothly.

"If I remember correctly, the place ahead might be Jin Peng's territory." As they got closer to the town of Benguela, a mercenary finally remembered and reminded them directly.

After hearing this, Zhou Bai and others naturally became cautious.

But just as they stepped into Jinpeng's territory, they heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the front.

Is anyone???

Two updates in one!
