Chapter 8: Fragments of Hope
"It looks like both of us can be saved."
Zhang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the fragments could be used to detoxify Wu Yuan, and he decided to use this lord demon soul that could improve the level of all attributes himself. He must use it himself because in the previous battle, he really benefited from a strong enough soul.
If it wasn't for the C+ level soul, he would have died immediately. Who would have thought that those two spiders would secretly cast a spell? It was so scary.
After glancing at the elite spearman Wu Yuan and finding that he could still hold on for a while, Zhang Yang took the time to check on the mutilated demon soul of the overlord.
Because of its incompleteness, this demon soul is only worth 500 energy points on the golden scale.
But even if it is incomplete, it is still a lord-level demon soul, so its effect is still very significant.
"Using incomplete lord-level demon souls, you can train powerful warriors or upgrade elite soldiers to captain-level soldiers. Currently, you have a level 2 lord-level incomplete demon soul, which can train 5 elite spearmen/archers/sword and shield soldiers, or upgrade 1 elite spearman/archer/sword and shield soldier to captain level."
"Note: Killing the Spider Lord's soldiers personally will increase the chance of training by 30%."
"Note: Even if a lord-level demon soul is incomplete, it will strengthen the soldier's weapon 100% (elite level/captain level)"
"It requires 50 energy points, 5 plates of demonized spider silk, 5 units of demonized venom, and a basic success rate of 60%. Elite soldiers need 5 energy points to increase their success rate by 10%, and captain-level soldiers need 20 energy points to increase their success rate by 5%."
——
"It's settled!"
Zhang Yang slapped his thigh and made a decision.
He wants to use that complete lord-level demon soul himself, so he must improve his strength and survivability. Although he has the village construction order, the problem is that the world he lives in is a fantasy background. He can't afford to offend it, he really can't afford to offend it.
The incomplete lord-level demon soul will be given to the elite spearman Wu Yuan, who can be promoted to a captain-level soldier. Naturally, the poison in both of them will be cured. Didn't you see that venom needs to be consumed in the training process?
As for the fragment of hope, let's keep it for now. Zhang Yang thinks this thing may have a greater use someday, for example, I want a windproof lighter.
“Bang!”
What? What happened? Zhang Yang was confused, and then he looked again and was even more confused. The fragment of hope had been shattered, and a windproof lighter really appeared in his hand.
"I-I want to date your sister, is that okay?"
Zhang Yang was in tears and didn't dare to act rashly anymore. He quickly upgraded the spearman Wu Yuan, and then he used the fusion of demon souls himself. He couldn't delay any longer, otherwise he would die from vomiting blood.
A white light flashed, and they were both enveloped at the same time, as if in a dream. No one cared about how Wu Yuan felt, but Zhang Yang felt really good.
It was just like taking a hot spring bath, with countless little hands pressing, kneading and kneading his body. The comfort was indescribable.
Then, five minutes passed, and when Zhang Yang opened his eyes, he felt that the surroundings had become extremely quiet. He could hear his own heartbeat and the heartbeats of the soldiers around him, as well as the chirping of birds and insects in the distance.
Then the world in his eyes seemed to become clearer. He could probably see the distorted texture on a big tree a hundred meters away. Well, it was like seeing a lighter with the naked eye a hundred meters away.
And then, it was gone, really gone, except that he felt extra energetic.
When he opened the attribute panel mapped by the village construction order, he found that all his attributes had indeed been upgraded by one level.
Strength: F+ Agility: F+ Defense: F+ Soul: B- Soul characteristics obtained: keen, passive, can detect some signs of danger in advance, (Note, B-level strength soul has its own characteristics, no consumption) Spells mastered: Imprisonment, consumes one's own soul energy, and launches imprisonment on slow or fixed targets, which can cause the target to fall into a continuous physical/soul full imprisonment state, the maximum casting distance, 200 meters, if the target is in a high-speed state, there is a high probability of failure. (Note, soul energy can be slowly restored by itself, and this skill cannot be used on targets with soul strength higher than the caster, otherwise it will fail and turn into secondary mental shock damage.) As for the battle pattern with similar properties, it did not appear, it seems that there was no eye contact.
At this time, the spearman Wu Yuan had also been successfully promoted. This time, the poisoning state on his body was automatically relieved first, and then he became at least ten centimeters taller, looking even stronger and more powerful. His muscular arms were as thick as Zhang Yang's thighs.
In addition, the reinforced spear in Wu Yuan's hand has been strengthened again and has become a captain-level weapon.
The spear is entirely black with silver textures. It is as thick as a goose egg and it is unknown what material it is made of. The spear body is two meters long and the tip is fifty centimeters. It has six edges and corners, and it flashes a black edge in the sun. It must be even sharper.
As for Wu Yuan's attributes, the changes were even greater, which puzzled Zhang Yang. He used a complete lord demon soul, and all his attributes were only increased by one level.
But once these soldiers are upgraded, they will inevitably jump to higher levels.
When he was an ordinary soldier, his rank was F+. When he was promoted to elite, his rank became E+. Now that he has become a captain, his rank has become D+. This is really unreasonable.
But one thing is that the soldiers' souls are generally very low. Even Wu Yuan, who is already the captain of the spearmen, has only increased his soul strength to E+.
Fortunately, this does not affect the combat effectiveness, because the spearmen captain Wu Yuan has one more skill.
Among them, the original Gale Piercing has become Gale Triple Piercing, which means that the instantaneous damage is increased three times.
The new skill is called Soul-Breaking Thorn, which can instantly increase the damage five times and cause a shock and stun effect on the target.
According to Zhang Yang's estimation, the captain of the spearmen, Wu Yuan, could challenge ten level 1 blue wolves, three level 2 black bears, and a level 5 red eagle at the same time. Of course, he would surely die against even one of the Spider Lords. He could not resist the two magic arts, imprisonment and soul binding.
"This world is really dangerous and wonderful!"
Zhang Yang sighed, then counted the remaining soldiers, asked them to chop some wood, light torches, and begin a thorough search of the spider's nest.
This process was not difficult at all. Dozens of torches lit up the spider's nest as bright as day. Led by the spearmen captain Wu Yuan, they killed their way through. No black spider could escape. As for whether there were any spider lords in there, that was impossible.
Half an hour later, the entire spider nest was searched, and all the remaining black spiders were killed. Spider eggs, spider webs and everything else were burned. Zhang Yang did not try to raise a spider pet. Although he heard that this was the biggest trick in the fantasy world, he still felt that - those who are not of my kind must have different hearts!
In the end, Zhang Yang did not find any secret treasure, precious minerals, or human skeleton treasures. He found nothing. All he got was a semi-enclosed underground space with the entrance blocked. This was the best place to spend the night.
Zhang Yang was even a little impulsive and wanted to throw the village construction order here, but reason stopped him in the end. He now had only one spearman captain, three elite archers, 21 longbowmen, 45 sword and shield soldiers, and 12 spearmen. The other soldiers were all dead. There were only 9 recruitment quotas left in his village construction order. Even if he wanted to farm or cut wood, he didn't have a large number of farmers and lumberjacks available.
In a word, he, the village chief, is basically useless.
If he were on the game channel, he could call himself Xiao Zhangzi and apply to enter the palace to serve the Queen, but fortunately this is a fantasy world, and as long as he is still alive, everything is possible.
"So now, I finally have the time and conditions to carefully examine this matter and improve the background of this world."
Zhang Yang sat on a big rock, thinking in a relaxed manner. Things were urgent just now, and he had not had time to take care of a lot of trophies and some details. Now he needed to sort them out again.
A golden scale appeared in his eyes. On one end was a broken fantasy village construction order, which was very similar to the one in Zhang Yang's hand, but the font was different, and he didn't recognize it. It was probably some kind of spider script? On the other end of the golden scale was exactly 300 energy points. It seemed that the value of this thing was not as good as a lord-level residual soul, or a complete level 5 demon soul.
So what is the effect?
"Using an incomplete fantasy village building order can improve the quality and level of the village building order. Currently, if you have an incomplete fantasy village building order, there is a 55% chance that the village building order in your hand will be upgraded."
"Note: Using energy can increase the chance of upgrading. 100 energy points will increase it by 5%."
——
Zhang Yang smacked his lips and put the matter aside for the time being. He was reluctant to spend 1,100 energy points to upgrade the village construction order. What's more, the energy he had was not enough. He only had 650 points left.
Then he looked at the next one.
The code blueprint of the Black Spider Tribe civilization looks so high-end, but unfortunately it is cheaper and you can only get 100 energy points after selling it.
As for the function, well, it increases the upgrade chance of the village building order by 10%. OK, this is possible, and the value will be doubled instantly.
The next one is the demonized black spider silk, 50 plates, worth 200 energy points.
Function: It can be used to make three enchanted bowstrings. The prerequisites are an arrow making workshop, a master craftsman and 100 energy points.
The next one is the demonized spider venom, 50 units, worth 200 energy points.
Effect: It can be directly applied on weapons. Side effect: the meat of monsters killed with venom cannot be eaten.
After examining all the spoils, Zhang Yang's originally excited heart gradually calmed down. He knew that the world he would face in the future might be a more complicated and dangerous world than he had imagined.
The reason for all this is that the two spider lords actually possessed a fantasy village building order similar to his, and they actually established a spider tribe.
So in a sense, doesn't it mean that he is no different from the two Spider Lords?
"So, what exactly is this fantasy village building order? Who is playing a prank? What does this world look like?"
No one could answer Zhang Yang's question, and he didn't intend to look for the answer because he had to find a way to survive first.
"The two spider lords just now were actually very strong. The reason they failed was because they were too unlucky to encounter someone like me whose soul strength was stronger than theirs, which directly caused them to waste two precious spell slots."
"Another point is that I killed all their minions in advance. Otherwise, if hundreds of black spiders rushed over, they would not lose no matter how hard they tried. So the question is, they don't look stupid, so why would they do such a stupid thing?"
"The answer may be that they are also afraid to go into the forest, where there are beings they are more afraid of."
"Or maybe they have to stay in their nest and protect their tribe because something important is happening here."
"In fact, the real truth is that they didn't notice me at the first sight, just like I didn't notice them in the first-level vision."
"Forget it, they are dead anyway, why should I think so much? Anyway, I will not leave a village construction order here. I will just farm the land and do nothing!"
"I want to go out and have fun. I want to grow up!"
