When Xia Tianqiong led his people back to the village entrance, the people of Blackwater Village outside did not make a move.
However, they all looked displeased, appearing angry but unable to speak out.
It's understandable. It's not easy to get promoted, and now you're being demoted for no reason. No one would be happy about that.
Xia Tianqiong looked at them, and the corners of her mouth gradually turned up.
These are all potential recruits. Once we recruit them, it will be easier to conquer other villages without having to be as cautious as we are now.
Thousands of people rushed over and surrounded the village, ready to see who dared to resist.
"Next, I will annex other villages. Are you willing to join my team? I guarantee that the levels you have lost will be restored quickly, and even higher."
Xia Tianqiong stood at the front of the line again and addressed the people of Blackwater Village.
The people of Blackwater Village just stared at him angrily, and no one answered.
Some people didn't believe him and thought he was fooling them, while others simply hated him and didn't want to work for him.
Xia Tianqiong smiled faintly and did not try to persuade her further.
He turned to face the people of Peach Blossom Village, "We have successfully annexed Blackwater Village. This is your mission reward."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and streams of nether energy appeared in the air, entering the bodies of every person in Peach Blossom Village.
Just as the people of Blackwater Village received the notification, Xia Tianqiong also received a notification, and the level and essence that had been stripped from the people of Blackwater Village were all restored into Netherworld Power.
As the village chief, he could use this Netherworld power as a reward for completing a mission and distribute it to the people of Peach Blossom Village.
Blackwater Village has a total of over 4,300 people, three-quarters of whom are of the Strong level, and a few others are of the Tall and Sturdy level. This is a considerable amount of Netherworld power.
Xia Tianqiong took out half of it and divided it equally among more than 1,500 people in Taoyuan Village.
Dozens of people were promoted from strong villagers to burly villagers on the spot. Those who did not upgrade had reached their limit and might upgrade when they annexed the next village.
What are your names?
As the villagers of Taoyuan Village were swept up in jubilation, Xia Tianqiong called out the young couple who had been the most enthusiastic earlier.
The man appeared to be in his early twenties, fair-skinned, handsome, and wearing frameless glasses, giving him a refined look.
But just now, he was the fiercest and the fastest.
The woman looked a bit older, probably around thirty years old. She was plump and pretty, especially with her big eyes and long eyelashes, which seemed to speak volumes as they blinked.
She smiled sweetly, "My name is Li Yun, and his name is Qiu Ziren. We used to be in the same team, fighting monsters and leveling up together in the wilderness."
Qiu Ziren simply smiled shyly and did not say anything.
Xia Tianqiong looked the two of them up and down. They looked like a couple, but she felt that something was missing.
"You were the best and most enthusiastic performers just now, this is an extra reward for you."
He raised his hand and waved it, and two even more powerful streams of Netherworld energy flowed into the two people's bodies respectively.
"Thank you, Captain Xia. We will do our best to complete the next mission."
Li Yun smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling with joy.
Qiu Ziren, who was standing next to him, simply smiled and said "thank you".
After rewarding them, Xia Tianqiong still had about one-third of his Netherworld Power left, which he kept for himself.
Despite the immense power of the Netherworld, he still didn't level up. This shows that a massive amount of Netherworld power is required to advance from the Mighty level to the Overbearing level.
Xia Tianqiong turned around again, facing the people of Blackwater Village.
No, they should be called Taoyuan Village people now, because the characters above their heads have changed to Taoyuan Village.
"Did you see that? Follow me to conquer other villages, and you'll get mission rewards. I can help you level up quickly."
Now that he's saying this, the people of the former Blackwater Village believe him, after all, they saw it with their own eyes.
Those who previously hated Xia Tianqiong have gradually calmed down and started to think seriously.
Many people have thought of a question: there are six or seven villages in the Ghost Realm. If they continue to be absorbed, they can not only restore the previous level, but may even rise to a higher level.
"I'm in."
"And me, please lead us to upgrade."
The people Zhang Luyang had previously arranged are now taking the lead again.
Subsequently, more and more people chose to join, but quite a few still hesitated.
But when these people learned that Xia Tianqiong had promised to compensate the elderly, women and children in the village, they all actively joined in. In the end, not a single one of the more than 3,000 people outside the village was left out.
Xia Tianqiong was slightly surprised; these people were even more enthusiastic than the people of Peach Blossom Village.
Especially Zhou Xizhuo, who had previously been pointing at Xia Tianqiong and cursing, is now smiling and coming over, looking like a familiar face.
"Captain Xia, when are we setting off? Let's hurry and take over as many villages as possible before dark."
Xia Tianqiong glanced at him and felt that this person was just straightforward and said whatever came to mind.
"No rush. The new members need to be grouped up. We'll set off in half an hour."
"Hey, Captain Xia, can you make me a squad leader too?"
Zhou Xizhuo is bold and thick-skinned, so even if others have ideas, they are too embarrassed to speak up.
Xia Tianqiong liked this kind of straightforward person. "Okay, go find that person. His name is Liu Shan. Ask him to assign you a squad leader. Just say that I said so."
"Okay, thank you, Captain Xia."
For some reason, Zhou Xizhuo actually gave a military salute, and his posture and movements were quite standard.
After sending him away, Xia Tianqiong went to find Zhang Luyang.
After a brief exchange, Zhang Luyang and the others set off ahead of schedule to make preparations for the next village.
Xia Tianqiong waited for half an hour before leading the main force to set off.
