Chapter 188: Chapter 113: A Difficult Journey
The traveling party was ready to part ways after leaving the territory.
“Take care of yourself, and don’t rush into things blindly,” Zhou Zhengping could not resist instructing Zhou Bai before leaving.
In Hope Village, he had never interfered with Zhou Bai hunting Demon Beasts alone, because he knew that within the territory, Zhou Bai was aware of the movents of the Demon Beasts.
But outside the territory, the situation was different; the number and level of Demon Beasts were unpredictable. It was safer to be cautious, especially since Zhou Bai was heading to Bengala Town, where the Demon Beasts were definitely different from those in Hope Village.
“I know, Dad; you be careful too,” Zhou Bai advised in return, as Zhou Zhengping was heading to Abo Duowei Village. According to Bayer, that village specialized in several types of fruits, so many rchant teams and rcenary Teams from various territories went all the way there. The fruits sold cheaply in Abo Duowei Village could be sold for many tis the price in larger territories, which is why Abo Duowei Village was relatively stable.
“Okay,” Zhou Zhengping nodded and then led his people away.
Following that, Li Xingteng, Cao Jingshan, Ling Mingzhi, and Lucas each led their teams away. Each one of them said goodbye to Zhou Bai before leaving, their attitudes carrying a hint of respect.
This scene left many onlookers sowhat shocked.
Zhou Bai had previously been an influential person in the territory, but when interacting with the Soldier Team Captains, their relationship had been one of equals, and their positions were subtly higher than Zhou Bai, the lone ranger, due to the soldiers under their command.
Even though so said Zhou Bai’s high Contribution might be aid at the position of Village Chief, and that the position would definitely be hers in the future, it was still far from the required ten thousand Contribution points, and who knew if any unforeseen events might occur in the anti? After all, with Zhou Bai leading the pack, many silently chased after her.
But unexpectedly, the sudden task as Acting Village Chief catapulted Zhou Bai into a position of power.
And her rise to power was truly deserved.
At least, both the NPCs and the Soldier Team Captains recognized it.
Thinking this, their gaze towards Zhou Bai suddenly changed.
They also made up their minds to be even more careful around Zhou Bai.
Once the other mbers had left, the team was reduced to over two hundred people. Most of them looked to Zhou Bai, waiting for her reaction.
“Let’s go! We’ll strive to arrive at Bengala Town before nightfall,” Zhou Bai declared.
With Bayer and the others working hard to establish her reputation, she could not let them down, and she must solidify her role as the team leader.
“Yes,” the group responded one after another.
Consequently, led by the Bull-n and Tiger-n sent by O’Neill, the team set out towards Bengala Town.
Within the team, Ellis, who had been assigned to join, looked at Zhou Bai with a peculiar expression.
When Bayer introduced Zhou Bai the other day, he had felt her Identity was no simple matter; yet, in just a couple of days, she had beco the Village Chief.
In other territories, the Village Chief was essentially the Lord’s most trusted aide, and often, the Lord didn’t need to appear in person and could entrust all matters to the Village Chief.
The Village Chief was a position second only to one, but above thousands.
Furthermore, with the developnt of the territory, the Village Chief could beco the Mayor or even a noble if the Lord was willing.
Zhou Bai had ascended to the heavens in one step.
He couldn’t help but ponder a question.
Could Zhou Bai’s rise indicate that she had a deep relationship with the Lord of Hope Village?
This Lord of Hope Village was truly mysterious.
But no wonder, building Hope Village into what it was in such a short ti was truly impressive.
Since he did not know who the Lord was, getting on good terms with Zhou Bai seed like a wise choice.
As they moved further away from Hope Village, Demon Beasts began to appear more frequently.
Upon seeing Zhou Bai and her group, the Demon Beasts charged toward them.
Fortunately, today’s travelers were experienced Professionals, and they quickly dealt with the Demon Beasts as they approached.
In fact, under the protection of O’Neill and other Beastn, Zhou Bai didn’t even get the chance to strike.
However, as the journey progressed, the number and level of encounters with Demon Beasts increased.
Near Hope Village, Demon Beasts were usually just above Level 10, with the occasional High-level one, which would not exceed Level 15. Of course, as the territory integrated into the Stan Continent, Demon Beasts above Level 15 beca visibly more common over ti, but most of them were outside the territory’s borders.
