Chapter 195 Five Choices for Building a Foundation
In the abandoned city, hundreds of soldiers and demon hunters were in a dead silence, and the atmosphere was very desolate.
Yes, they are the most confident and strongest people. They are used to separation of life and death and countless cruel scenes. But at this moment, they are very panicked.
Because no matter what they choose, the consequence will not be a happy ending.
"Mr. Jack, this is unfair. We have the right to defend our own homes and our loved ones. Why don't you give us a chance to make a fair choice?"
Someone shouted sadly, which resonated with others.
Zhang Yang sneered, but his heart was even more miserable.
fair?
Do I still want fairness?
But has this world ever been fair to me? One moment I was sitting on the balcony at home, eating iced watermelon and peeking at the girl across the street. What a comfortable life! The next moment, a brick smashed me into a fantasy world.
Is this fair? Does he have anywhere to seek justice?
After struggling desperately in the fantasy world, he watched the soldiers he recruited die in battle for no reason. Is this fair?
He had worked so hard to build a village civilization, and he had finally gotten a little ahead. However, for the sake of his parents and his home, he had to become everyone's enemy and be despised by all his companions and allies. Was this fair?
Then he was betrayed by the gods he had raised and stabbed in the back. Is this fair? That demon woman suddenly appeared. This world is so chaotic and unfair. How can it be fair to be born in such a big background? And this was not without signs! His village civilization had just grown, and it was immediately targeted by the demon woman, and then destroyed twice in a row.
And how could Zhao Xianyu, this bastard, not attract the attention of the demon clan when he is so arrogant?
Perhaps when Zhao Xianyu supported Duan Jiusi in establishing the Great Chu Dynasty, the demon clan had already noticed him.
What are the characteristics of the Sky Demon Clan? Aren't they elusive, imaginative, and good at plotting and tripping people up? Especially when you think you have the illusion of being invincible, that's when things are most likely to go wrong.
Zhao Xianyu thought he was clever and stabbed his old boss in the back. He was very proud of himself and thought all his arrangements could restrain Zhang Yang, his former master.
That’s right, he almost did it, and Zhang Yang could hardly do anything to him.
However, in this chaotic world, there is more than one enemy.
Especially in the world where the Storm Kingdom is located, the civilization code has been 100% cracked. In such a dangerous world, you don't want to consolidate your foundation and accumulate strength, but you want to invade your old boss. If he doesn't get into trouble, who will? Zhang Yang's encounter with the witch Elsa seems to be a coincidence, but it is inevitable.
Even without his participation, the witch Elsa could come to this abandoned city and wait for the opportunity for the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
He even suspected that there was more than one demon girl involved in this matter, otherwise why couldn't the Wood Demon Tower suppress the ghost clan's secret environmental weapon at this very moment?
"All the reasons for your failure are due to your original sin of not being strong enough! So don't talk about fairness or unfairness! You are lucky to have met me and a human being now. This world should have perished two thousand years ago. Now that it has been able to survive for two thousand years, you should be content."
Zhang Yang said this and turned away. He no longer had the patience to argue with these people.
He just treats the side quests in the village building order as a joke!
Because all the rewards are already there.
In this chaotic and dangerous world, perhaps everything is unreliable, and the only thing you can rely on is your own strength.
"So no matter what, I'm going to start the Xianxia village building mission!"
"So no matter what, I must preserve the civilization of my village, because this is the key for me to start the mission of building a village for the immortal heroes!"
As Zhang Yang walked, he released the divine ban to dispel the evil spirit, and the demon hunters and soldiers followed him after hesitating for a few seconds, regardless of whether they understood this principle or not.
Being weak, one can only follow passively, without any more choices.
"Master Jack, this direction is not the direction leading to Aguero Valley."
Someone took the initiative to show goodwill.
"I know, but I have to rescue the other demon hunter teams. Or, I shouldn't use the merciful word 'rescue'. I'm just going to give them a multiple-choice question."
"Those who obey me will live, and those who disobey me will perish on their own."
In the next two hours, Zhang Yang successfully gathered three teams of demon hunters and two teams of 100 cavalrymen. They had been in danger before, but they had not been destroyed.
It was all because of the sudden explosion of the cloud of negative energy that trapped them into being some low-level evil spirits.
But this cloud of yin energy is actually very thin. The truly threatening part is the yin energy that can condense a large amount of ghost crystals and even block the air.
The negative energy at this moment can only make the temperature drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius at most. This is just a small trouble for the powerful demon hunters if they are not frightened by those evil spirits.
Unfortunately, this is the natural restraint between races and cannot be changed.
A team of demon hunters can kill a group of monsters without batting an eyelid, but they become panic-stricken when encountering ghosts.
The human race restrains the demon race, the demon race restrains the monster race, the monster race restrains the ghost race, and the ghost race restrains the human race. It is exactly a cycle.
"Next, let's go to Anya City!"
After Zhang Yang used both soft and hard tactics to deal with all the demon hunters and the defenders of the abandoned city, he was not in a hurry to go to the Aquiro Valley, but went straight to Anya City, where there were nearly 100,000 people living, which was a huge fortune.
Especially for his level 6 royal city.
As for the Wood Demon Tower, to be honest, he didn't want it anymore.
Yes, that was his plan.
The reason is very simple.
When Zhao Xianyu set up the Wood Demon Tower, he had to be at least a level 40 mountain god, and only then could he suppress the secret environmental weapons of the Abyss Ghost Clan.
Because the Wood Demon Tower can naturally absorb negative energy.
However, the suppression of the Abyss Ghost Clan's environmental weapons did not mean that the Ghost Clan's masters, such as the Ghost King and the Ghost Queen, were all suppressed. They must be guarding near the Aquilo Valley. With so many Ghost Clan masters and the involvement of the demon clan, wouldn't he, a cultivator who had not yet established his foundation, be courting death if he went there? Don't talk about the Wood Demon Tower recognizing its master. It has been too long, and that thing no longer belongs to him.
So in this case, it is better to take advantage of the power of the other party and lure some people back, and cooperate with the level 6 royal city, at least it will be an undefeated situation.
As for returning to his own world, especially the world he protects, it is not smuggling. As long as the location is safe and he can ensure that the enemy will not follow, it is not too easy.
Therefore, this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible, and we must take advantage of the time when the Wood Demon Tower attracts the attention of all parties.
A few hours later, Zhang Yang led his men back to Anya City. As expected, the Yin Qi had already spread here, and Zhao Xianyu's kingdom of God really chose to cut off the gecko's tail, which was also a normal move every time the Yin Qi leaked out.
Zhao Xianyu and his men were very good at the principle of keeping the country stable while defending the country from foreign aggression.
Otherwise, the divine power network can be easily breached.
But in this way, Anya City and the nearby villages and towns became victims. The nobles and lords in the city had fled with their families, and the refugees from the surrounding villages and towns rushed to Anya City like crazy, naively believing that it was still safe.
As for those who wanted to escape to the east, unfortunately, under the cover of yin energy, all kinds of evil spirits might not be able to do anything to the nobles and lords' troops who were protected by the army. As for the common people, they would be killed with one bite.
So this is the situation Zhang Yang and his team faced after returning.
"Control the city gates, people are allowed to enter but not leave!"
"Control supplies and impose martial law throughout the city!"
"Criminals will be killed without mercy!"
"All demon hunters, retired soldiers, caravan guards, trainee knights, and strong adult men must be conscripted, weapons must be distributed, and they must take turns guarding the city and patrolling!"
"Also send out cavalry to search the villages and towns within a hundred miles and round up all the refugees."
As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Yang issued orders one after another. He now had 500 regular cavalry and nearly 500 professional demon hunters. This combat power was impressive. Moreover, these people had already realized their future fate and knew that they might not be safe even if they escaped to Storm City this time, so their execution was also very quick.
By the time it got dark, the entire Anya city fell smoothly into Zhang Yang's hands, with a total population of more than 80,000.
If he wanted, he could start time and space teleportation at any time, and at the latest tomorrow morning, these more than 80,000 people would appear in his royal city.
But Zhang Yang was not impatient at this time, but began to practice the mysterious skill of stealing the sky's energy and creating beauty alone in the City Lord's Mansion.
That’s right, he chose to build his foundation at this time.
The reason for this was because he suffered from the aftereffects of being tortured to the point of being in great pain and mentally devastated by the demon clan.
For example, how does he know that there are no monsters among these 80,000 people?
For the safety of the Level 6 Royal City, Zhang Yang doesn't mind making some more preparations.
Although in this way, the effect after he successfully built the foundation was slightly worse.
After all, he originally had 999 breaths of innate spiritual energy, but now there are only 917 left, which is definitely not perfect.
But he couldn't care less.
There were too many enemies and the situation was too complicated. How could he fight his way out without paying a price? "You are at the stage of foundation building and breakthrough. Do you want to continue?"
“Friendly reminder: This is a road of no return.”
After a night of preparation and practice, at dawn, a colorful light suddenly flew out, which turned out to be the fairy village building order bound to Zhang Yang.
"Sure!"
"You already have the ability to build a foundation and break through. Please choose the foundation-building mode. That is, under the guidance of the bound Xianxia Village Building Order, complete the foundation-building step by step. This process is guaranteed to be 100% safe, but the effect after the foundation-building will be weakened by 5%."
"You can also choose the self-foundation mode, that is, to build your own foundation according to the practice method. The risk of this process is self-controlled, but the effect will be +10% after the foundation is successfully built."
——
"I choose the bound Xianxia Village Building Order Guidance Mode."
Zhang Yang made the choice without hesitation. What he lacked most now was time. If it took him several days and nights to build the foundation by himself, he was worried that Anya City would collapse directly.
After all, if he chose to build his foundation at this moment, he would be doomed to pay some price.
Is there any perfect good thing in this world?
Swish! The colorful light representing the immortal village building order sank into Zhang Yang's body.
In an instant, he felt that his entire thinking pattern had changed and turned into a data mode.
"The technique you are practicing is - Stealing the Heaven's Qi, the Mysterious Technique of Creation, rated two stars, garbage."
"The innate spiritual energy you have gained through cultivation is - 917, rated six stars, peerless genius."
"You are born into the human race. Your racial talent is suitable for cultivating immortals. The index is 98, which is relatively high, but inferior to that of the demon race."
"Your personal attributes are A+ in all four attributes, and the rating is four stars, which is high."
"Your current remaining life span is 522 years."
"You are currently generating a category suitable for foundation building—"
"Building the inner elixir - taking the golden elixir road, the success rate is 87%, which means that if you live a long and long life, you can become a golden immortal after overcoming the heavenly tribulation."
"Building the external elixir - achieving enlightenment through the physical body, tempering the body with magic power, breaking the gods with force, success rate 72%."
"Building the Spiritual Sea - Practicing spiritual cultivation to achieve enlightenment, with an immortal soul and eternal life, with a success rate of 89%."
"Sword Building Pill - Take the path of sword cultivation, the success rate is 93%, which means that you use your body as a sword and take an unconventional approach to sword cultivation. This is a difficult path. You can become a sword immortal after overcoming the Ten Thousand Swords Tribulation."
"Build a Demon Heart - Take the path of demon cultivation, the success rate is 100%, which means that your choice is your destiny. Don't look back, you have no way out."
