Chapter 24: New Ghost Soldiers
It felt good to be rich, but when he thought about how few soldiers he had left, Zhang Yang felt terrible.
Those hundreds of soldiers died tragically before. It would be great if they could be strengthened by demon souls.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
"Prioritize strengthening and upgrading the soldiers. I can't afford such death and waste any more."
Zhang Yang thought sadly.
The spirit of the mountain monster can upgrade four captain-level soldiers, and the spirit of the Bighorn Deer Lord can upgrade 10 captain-level soldiers. If we add the quasi-hero Wu Yuan, the village will have 15 powerful combat forces. Even if they encounter an enemy like the Bighorn Deer Lord in his prime, they can defeat him in one fell swoop.
Moreover, if Wu Yuan starts the hero trial and there is no strong enough military force in the village, if they are attacked by a powerful monster, wouldn’t it be the end of them?
"That's right, let's do it! Don't be too selfish. You have to look at the overall situation and make unified arrangements. You are destined to farm. The big-horned deer is so powerful and has a powerful trick to summon the evil spirits of the abyss, but it was still killed. If it had a few captain-level soldiers under its command, how could it be killed and fail in the end? As the village chief, it is too stupid to charge into battle."
Zhang Yang talked to himself, constantly strengthening his confidence. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and use the soul of the Bighorn Deer Lord on himself again. This dilemma was not something a human could do and it was too painful.
"Let's train a legal profession first."
After strengthening his position, Zhang Yang began to observe the characteristics and differences of the three types of soldiers: village magician, village priest, and village imp.
"Well, training a village wizard/village priest requires one recruit, and training a village imp requires five complete demon souls."
"It requires 1,000 energy points, and the chance of success is 100%."
"So, I chose to train a village imp."
Due to the scarcity of new recruits, Zhang Yang made a direct choice. After consuming 5 complete blue wolf demon souls, a ball of black light rose up. In just five seconds, a village of little ghosts was cultivated.
In an instant, the temperature around dropped by more than ten degrees, but Zhang Yang did not see the real body of the village ghost. He could only observe it through the village's attribute template.
"The village ghost, its owner is Zhang Yang."
"Level: Level 1 Ghost Clan Recruit."
"Status: It has been fully bound to the village building order and can communicate through the village building order."
"Talent: Invisibility/Appearance (Note: Because the level is too low, it can only appear at night.)"
"Talent: Yin Qi (passive)."
"Talent: Escape underground and travel through mountains."
"Skill: Possession level 1."
"Skill: Ghost Wall level 1."
——
"He's really a weakling, but his talent of burrowing underground and passing through mountains is great. It should be easy for him to go prospecting for minerals." Zhang Yang was very satisfied, because since he was a new recruit of the ghost clan, it meant that he could continue to upgrade in the future.
"Village chief, may I use this place as my home?"
At this moment, a line of text suddenly appeared in Zhang Yang's eyes. It turned out that the village kid was talking to him.
"Are you referring to this Wood Demon Tower?" Zhang Yang asked tentatively.
"Yes, Lord Village Chief. Because I am too weak at the moment, I can only show up at night, and many warriors in the village can directly cause great harm to me. So before you build a place for me to live, the only place I can hide is here."
"Will your daily residence have any impact on the Wood Demon Tower?" Zhang Yang asked carefully. The importance of the Wood Demon Tower is unquestionable, so he has to figure it out.
"Reporting to the village chief, no, my innate Yin energy can nourish the Wood Demon Tower, thereby maintaining the effective use time of the Wood Demon Tower. Otherwise, a level 2 Wood Demon Tower can only be used for 20 years before it will be exhausted. With me here, it can extend its use time by at least ten years, and this is assuming that I have not upgraded."
"Is that so? Well, then you can live in this Wood Demon Tower temporarily. By the way, how can you continue to upgrade?" Zhang Yang continued to ask. He was not worried that this village kid would not speak honestly, because from the moment it was trained, it was destined to coexist and perish with the village construction order.
"Reporting to the village chief, as a ghost, there are probably several ways for me to upgrade. The most effective one is to offer incense, followed by the source of Yin energy, then devouring and plundering, and the last is self-cultivation. At present, I can only practice by myself."
"Also, if the village chief can provide me with some residual souls to devour, my upgrade speed will be very fast. However, this method has great hidden dangers. Improving my strength in a short period of time will make me gradually become tyrannical in the future, and may eventually endanger or even destroy the village, so I don't recommend you do this."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang quickly gave up the idea of using the monster's residual soul to upgrade the little ghost's level, and then asked curiously: "What's your name?"
"Reporting to the village chief, among the ghosts of the Abyss, only ghost generals and above have names, and I am just a new recruit of the ghost clan, and I have an invisible body. I cannot have a name, which would become a burden to me."
Zhang Yang nodded. He was originally thinking of giving this little ghost a name. "Well, you can stay here temporarily. Don't come out to scare people at night. After you have a good rest, search the underground around this village for me to see if there are any valuable minerals or something like that."
"As you wish, Village Chief."
After the little ghost's message disappeared, Zhang Yang thought about it and went out to inform Wu Yuan and others to lift the alert, clean up the battlefield, recover from injuries, etc. Then he decided to upgrade the village construction order immediately, which was the most important thing.
It is currently known that the village construction orders have gray, white, black, and blue qualities. According to his speculation, there should also be green and gold.
Zhang Yang’s current village building order is white, but the village building task he has to complete requires him to upgrade the village building order to at least blue.
Open the village panel, click on the incomplete village construction order dropped by the lord of the bighorn deer, and several pieces of information will appear immediately.
"Using the incomplete fantasy village building order can improve the quality and level of the village building order. Currently, I have an incomplete village building order (black). Depending on the kill situation, there is a 45% chance to upgrade the village building order in my hand (instructions: if you kill the enemy in the enemy's village territory, you will get a higher upgrade probability, otherwise the upgrade probability will be reduced)."
"Note: Using energy can increase the upgrade chance. As the level of the village building order increases, 1,000 energy points are required to increase by 5%."
"Using the incomplete Bighorn Deer Civilization Code Blueprint can increase the upgrade chance by 10%."
——
"It's quite interesting. Fortunately, I just made a fortune, otherwise I would have no money to upgrade." Zhang Yang sighed. If he used the code drawings of the giant elk civilization, he would need to pay 9,000 energy points, and if he did not use it, he would need 11,000 energy points to upgrade.
"Then I'd better keep this civilization code blueprint, just in case I have a chance to invade the giant deer civilization in the future." Zhang Yang smiled. Anyway, the last thing he lacked now was energy.
"Confirm the upgrade."
With a "buzz", the incomplete village construction order in Zhang Yang's hand disappeared instantly, and white light flashed out in the village, still horizontal and vertical, but soon more white silk threads joined in, allowing the area of the village to continue to expand to a full square kilometer. This is exaggerated. The black village construction order is indeed different.
Next, several more pieces of information were quickly mapped.
"The village construction order is being upgraded. The upgrade time is 82 hours. Since the quality of your village construction order is black after the upgrade, the initial village area will be expanded to one square kilometer. At the same time, the village will be eligible to have two more finished level 5 buildings. Please spend 3,000 energy points to select (click to select/reject)."
"A fragmentary blueprint of the Giant Horned Deer civilization code has been detected. Do you want to use it? If you use it, you will randomly obtain a basic building of the Giant Horned Deer civilization."
"Level 5 blacksmith shop, comes with a blacksmith."
"Level 5 Arrow Tower, comes with 20 archers."
"Level 5 warehouse, comes with 1,000 units of wood, 1,000 units of iron ingots, and 1,000 units of food."
"Level 5 farmland, comes with 25 farmers."
"Level 5 residential building, with 20 households."
"Level 5 craftsman camp, comes with 5 craftsmen."
"Level 5 Armory, comes with equipment for 500 soldiers (ordinary/elite)."
"Level 5 herbal medicine shop, with a healer."
