Qiu Ziren was stunned by Li Yun's idea; she actually wanted to annex a village with just a few people.
That's simply a fantasy.
Not only him, but his other companions were also full of doubt.
Li Yun smiled mysteriously, "To tell you the truth, I have many friends in this strange realm. Most of them have become bandits. Do you think it's possible to succeed if we have many bandits helping us attack villages?"
Qiu Ziren frowned, but his other companions all showed interest.
After discussing it, they felt it was feasible.
Although the bandits' strength is suppressed when they enter the village, they can still guard the village entrance!
Just like when they annexed Blackwater Village, while the villagers were out hunting, the bandits blocked the village entrance and killed anyone who dared to enter. With the strength of the bandits, a small number of them could intimidate many villagers.
Listening to their discussion, Qiu Ziren suddenly interjected, "Even though we've all reached the burly level, we're not confident we can defeat the village chief, are we?"
Li Yun laughed and said, "I'm already close to the limit of the burly level. If I kill a dozen more people, I should be able to reach the mighty level. At that time, dealing with the village chief shouldn't be difficult."
Besides, I still have a way to save my life that I haven't used yet. Killing the village chief is definitely not a problem. Now I just want to ask you, who is willing to come with me?
As she spoke, her eyebrows curved into crescents, her gaze filled with eagerness, as she slowly swept over every man present.
"I do."
"I'm here for you, I believe in you."
Several men immediately expressed their willingness to follow.
Only two people remained: Qiu Ziren and a disheveled middle-aged man in his thirties.
"Ziren, don't you believe me?"
Li Yun gazed at Qiu Ziren, her large eyes seeming to hold a hint of affection, but upon closer inspection, it was unclear.
Qiu Ziren subconsciously looked away, embarrassed to meet her gaze.
"Of course I trust you. Without you, our team wouldn't exist. But I don't think it's fair to do this."
Captain Xia has given us special treatment, providing extra rewards each time we annex a village. I think we should stay and help him complete his final plan.
Li Yun's expression changed, and she said in an unfriendly tone, "That's because we're always at the forefront, solving his problems. That's what we deserve."
We're risking our lives to be at the forefront, but he's taking most of the spoils. That's not fair. So I suggest we leave the group. We can take over the villages ourselves; we don't need to risk our lives for him.
Qiu Ziren usually appears shy and quiet, seemingly very honest, but in reality, he has many ideas and is difficult to persuade.
He shook his head and said firmly, "There's no such thing as fair or unfair. Captain Xia gives us 40,000 ghost money every day. We're basically hired."
Besides, the main credit for annexing three villages today went to Captain Xia and Captain Zhang for their appeasement efforts; we were just charging forward with weapons to intimidate them.
Qiu Ziren was telling the truth, but it sounded like he was denying everyone's contributions, which made the people present a little unhappy.
Li Yun suddenly laughed, but the laugh was full of sarcasm.
"You're upright, you're selfless, you're amazing, we're all selfish bastards. Hmph, it's almost the end of the world, let's see how long someone like you can survive. Let's go, let him stay here, I'll take you to conquer villages and level up quickly."
After saying this, she turned and left, followed by five other people.
Qiu Ziren and a disheveled middle-aged man remained where they were.
Qiu Ziren sighed helplessly, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with her. Several times he wanted to ask her to stay, but in the end he held back.
"That woman is no good. It was the right thing to not go with her, otherwise she might have sold you out."
The middle-aged man next to him suddenly spoke up.
The man had a stubble beard and his clothes were a bit dirty; someone who didn't know him might mistake him for a homeless person.
Qiu Ziren looked at him in surprise, "I can't be, she's just a little selfish at most, she's not a bad person."
"Hahaha!"
The disheveled middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter. "Young man, you don't actually think she's only giving you the eye, do you?"
Do you know she's flirted with every single man in the group, even someone like me? She's hinted at it, but I just pretended not to notice.
Qiu Ziren suddenly froze on the spot, completely bewildered.
A moment later, the disheveled middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder, "Let's just stay with the big boss's team. Whether this strange realm can be broken depends on the big boss."
...
Li Yun led five people and, under the cover of night, quietly scaled the wall and jumped out of the village.
They crept into the night, and before they had gone far, they encountered another group of people.
It turned out to be Wang Baihong, who was waiting here with more than a dozen bandits.
After his younger brother was killed by Xia Tianqiong, he led his men to block the only road leading to Taoyuan Village. However, Xia Tianqiong did not return until after dark, by which time he had already left.
The next day, he met Li Yun outside the village. Since they had known each other for a long time and had a one-night stand, he asked her to help him search the village.
As a result, Xia Tianqiong challenged the village chief that day, saying that he would lead everyone to break through the ghost realm.
Li Yun and Wang Baihong discussed it and decided to see what Xia Tianqiong was up to, so they didn't ambush him.
Today, Li Yun followed the large group, moving east and west, annexing other villages, while Wang Baihong followed far behind.
During a rest period in Heishui Village, Li Yun took the opportunity of going to the toilet to break away from the group and meet with Wang Baihong.
At that time, Li Yun had already planned to start her own business.
After some discussion, they came up with a preliminary plan.
"How many bandits did you find?"
As soon as they met, Li Yun asked a question.
Wang Baihong glanced at the five men who had followed her with a strange look in his eyes, and then replied, "I have sent people out to search in various places. So far, we have confirmed more than eighty people. By tomorrow morning, there should be more."
Fierce monsters roam at night, so only bandits dare to roam freely.
Li Yun nodded. "It's a bit little, but it's okay. We can go to Peach Blossom Village to find someone."
“I’ve promised these bandits all the benefits. If you can’t come up with enough food and trickery, then you’ll be in trouble.”
"Don't worry about that, I have my own ways to satisfy them. The most important thing now is to cause some trouble for Captain Xia and his men, and slow down their pace of annexing villages, otherwise we will have no chance."
Currently, only seven villages have been discovered in the Ghost Realm. Apart from Peach Blossom Village, three were annexed today, leaving three villages. At this rate, the rest will be annexed tomorrow.
In that case, Li Yun would have no chance.
So they planned to do something to make it harder for Xia Tianqiong to annex the village.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything," Wang Baihong suddenly smiled smugly. "According to their route, the next village will definitely be Luoxia Village. When they get there tomorrow, they'll definitely have a headache."
