Chapter 190: Chapter 113: A Tough Journey_3
Following the direction pointed out by the people around him, Ellis saw a swordsman holding a sword, who, when facing the attack of a demon snake, failed to notice in ti and was almost struck in the face.
However, a cough’s breath away from his face, he managed to summon the magic elents and construct an earth wall before him. Taking advantage of the mont the demon snake’s head collided with the earth wall, he swiftly plunged his sword into the seven-inch vital area of the snake.
The demon snake, having been hit in a critical spot, began to thrash around imdiately. Seizing the opportunity, other people quickly directed their various attacks toward the demon snake, and in no ti, it was dead.
Yet this team didn’t think about checking their gains; they directly targeted the next one.
What caught Ellis’s attention was not how impressive their team coordination was but that each professional among them seed to be a mage.
In just a mont, he witnessed several individuals whom he thought were swordsn and rcenaries use magic.
Could it be that all the professionals from Hope Village are mages?
You must know, not everyone can arouse magic talent.
Being a mage truly depends on individual talent—if one doesn’t have magical talent by the ti they upgrade to level 10, then they will never have the possibility of becoming a mage in their lifeti. They could only take up the physical skill system, which is sowhat limited to a certain extent. Up to level 20, they might be powerful, even more powerful than mages of the sa level, but after level 20, the higher the level, the greater the disparity would beco.
In this way, if the professionals from Hope Village were to beco powerful, they would undoubtedly be a force that cannot be ignored.
Following this, Ellis continued to observe.
He confird this idea with other rcenaries.
The batch of professionals who ca out of Hope Village turned out to be mages, and so even embarked on a second profession.
Magic and Body Dual Cultivation!
“If I hadn’t heard that they had upgraded step by step, I really would be suspicious if they had so kind of secret technique.”
“I’m so envious!”
“Now they look weak, but in the future…”
“This Hope Village is really sothing.”
“Ellis, maybe we really could develop here.”
“…”
Sorrel Town was indeed much more prosperous than this place and is not sothing that Hope Village could catch up with quickly, but the problem is that Sorrel Town is too good, with too many professionals in its territory, they have no chance to stand out there.
Hope Village, on the other hand, is different. It is still weak now, but it is discernably becoming a rising star.
If they were to develop in Hope Village early on, they could lay their foundations sooner, which would be much better than in Sorrel Town.
Speaking of which, they were still rely visitors, which was because they wanted to assess Hope Village.
But now, they were feeling a bit impatient.
If only they had observed more during these two days in Hope Village and discovered this point sooner, they might have made up their minds earlier.
They knew that to ascend in Hope Village, it wasn’t about level, but about contribution.
This outing seed to have contribution rewards as well.
Listening to their conversation, Ellis’s gaze was drawn to Zhou Bai, who was fighting a level 16 Storm Demon Snake alone.
Judging by level alone, Zhou Bai should have been stretched thin against the Storm Demon Snake, but surprisingly, Zhou Bai was managing with ease, utilizing various skills to their fullest extent.
This was a solid performance fought for real.
Zhou Bai had already successfully beco the Village Chief, and yet she was still fighting hard, which showed her character. Under her leadership, Hope Village was bound to be no less than exceptional.
Not to ntion her, but also the mysterious Lord behind her, orchestrating the territory from the shadows, was also competent.
As the saying goes, “like above, like below,” even if other professionals were not as skillful as Zhou Bai in using tactics, their overall performance was steady and solid.
Having observed this far, Ellis already had an idea in mind.
“As soon as we get back, we’ll apply to beco residents of Hope Village. Starting from scratch, with our years of experience in the wild and in various territories, we’ll have plenty of opportunities,” Ellis declared confidently, his expression carrying a hint of self-assurance.
His confidence lay in knowing how little Hope Village was known on the Stan Continent.
The other few had no objections.
With that, Ellis and his companions’ mindset had completely changed.
The next mont, they imrsed themselves in the fight against the Storm Demon Snake with an even more positive attitude.
There is strength in numbers, and with the efforts of over two hundred people, this wave of dozens of Demon Beasts was quickly eradicated.
After the elimination, Zhou Bai directly ordered everyone to rest on the spot.
Throughout this journey, they had hardly experienced any peace, so everyone must be ntally exhausted by now.
Most importantly, Demon Beasts also contest each other’s territories, and this group of Storm Demon Snakes were likely the overlords of this marshland.
In the short term, their territory would not be occupied, making it a perfect opportunity for them to rest.
And it was nearing noon.
When rest was ntioned, everyone imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
They truly hadn’t expected this journey to be so arduous, with incessant attacks by high-level Demon Beasts, as levels above 15 had beco the norm.
Moreover, they could feel that the levels of the Demon Beasts were gradually increasing, and they were finding them increasingly challenging to deal with.
But having co this far, they had to persist no matter what.
Though it had been tough, their gains were exceptionally bountiful.
“After leaving Hope Village, the number of Demon Beasts increased, and their levels got higher, making them really difficult to deal with.”
“Luckily, we joined this large group this ti around. If it were just a small team, we’d easily die out there.”
“The main issue is our unfamiliarity with Demon Beasts. Their skills are truly unpredictable.”
“It’s really thanks to your reminders.”
As they talked, many turned their attention to Ellis and his companions.
They hadn’t forgotten that it was Ellis who made them aware of the characteristics of the Storm Demon Snake.
“We often survive in the wilderness, that’s all the experience we have,” Ellis said, wanting to blend in with the Hope Village residents and his tone now much friendlier.
“What kind of Demon Beasts will we encounter later on? Will their levels be even higher?” soone asked subconsciously.
They had covered less than half of the journey!
“I don’t know what Demon Beasts we might encounter later; we haven’t taken this route before, and even if we had, the world of Demon Beasts changes in the blink of an eye, and territories switch frequently, so we can’t be certain. However, we do collect so information. If we encounter anything, we’ll let you know. As for the levels, the closer we get to Bengala Town, the higher the levels of the Demon Beasts we’ll et. We may encounter Demon Beasts above level 20, but don’t worry, those above level 20 are considered Little Beast Kings and usually do not appear in groups—typically there’s just one in a group,” Ellis explained briefly.
Listening to his introduction, everyone’s hearts tensed up.
Even if there was only one, it would be enough to trouble them. If they encountered high-level Demon Beasts consecutively, their Magic Value and Physical Value might not have enough ti to recover, making them like lambs to the slaughter.
Fortunately, they had a large number in their group, so they could just take turns when the ti ca.
Thus, on the spot, they started modifying their battle strategies.
They had to save a portion of their strength and alternate as they moved forward.
The rest was brief, and the group continued on their way.
The journey that followed was a series of relentless battles.
However, because they had Ellis’s well-traveled and knowledgeable group of rcenaries, they managed to deal with the Demon Beasts much more smoothly.
“If I rember correctly, the territory up ahead may belong to the Golden Peng,” one of the rcenaries finally recalled as they neared Bengala Town, prompting him to alert the others.
Zhou Bai and the others, having heard this, naturally beca cautious.
But just as they entered the Golden Peng’s territory, they heard intense fighting noises coming from ahead.
Could there be people???
