14 Building a Village

When Zhang Yang released the imprisonment spell, the deer demon on the other side was surprised. Its gaze suddenly became intense, albeit not countering with any similar spell. It quickly retreated some distance away and continued to spin around in circles to release its ultimate move.

Such an unusual situation made Zhang Yang more certain of its objective. After taking a peek at the status of his soul energy, he didn't hesitate to unleash the imprisonment spell again.

BAM!

Imprisonment failed—turned into a secondary mental attack.

Again.

Imprisonment failed—turned into a secondary mental attack.

After disrupting the deer demon four times in a row, Zhang Yang was astonished to see the demon acting impatient and irritable. Not only that, but it also ate another green fruit hanging on the tyne of its antlers, one it had already eaten before.

Holy cr*p. Surely I'm not a self-taught genius who just learned a god-tier disruption technique, right?

Zhang Yang laughed like he had lost his mind. Blood flowed out from his nostrils, ears, and mouth, which was the price of constantly releasing the imprisonment spell.

But it was all worth it. Not to mention, the Tree Demon Tower behind him was continuously restoring his soul power. Meanwhile, the battle outside the energy shield had also stabilized. Wu Yuan led the group of elite soldiers and forcefully resisted the violent assault of 12 bison, sacrificing three elite spearmen and one elite shield soldier in the process.

The Level 2 Protection was still intact because the level 1 green wolf demons couldn't shatter it. The bison demons that lost their charging power weren't worth a mention, and they were continuously killed without even putting up a fight.

So it's a fight to see who can survive the longest, huh?

Again!

BAM!

Imprisonment failed—turned into a secondary mental attack.

BAM!

Imprisonment failed—turned into a secondary mental attack.

After being disrupted time after time, the deer demon began to become even more irascible. Zhang Yang almost couldn't continue standing on his feet. His head was a spectacular mess with blood all over his face. However, he still behaved rampantly, screaming that he must hang on until the end.

Perhaps because the deer demon was unable to figure out Zhang Yang's strengths, it finally hesitated after being disrupted the ninth time. And at that moment, Wu Yuan, who just killed the last bison demon, suddenly snarled and threw his spear at the deer demon.

The spear instantly flew out with the burst of a sonic boom. But as it was about to strike the deer demon, an even more dazzling white light emanated, deflecting the oncoming spear.

At that moment, the fainting Zhang Yang widened his eyes in astonishment.

What was that?

Level 3 Protection?!

It was a Level 3 Protection from a Village Building Order!

The deer demon swept Zhang Yang a meaningful glance, hesitated no more, and deactivated the Level 3 Protection. Before Wu Yuan led the soldiers to surround it, it had turned around and left, disappearing into the dense forest.

"It will come back. It and I… we are competitors."

After a sudden realization, Zhang Yang collapsed to the ground.

***

The sunset was like fire, and the sky above the forest seemed to have turned into a golden ocean with shimmering waves.

Zhang Yang sat on the hill, aimlessly looking far away like a lost man sailing in a golden ocean; all alone, feeling melancholy and helpless.

This wasn't the earlier battlefield.

He woke up three hours ago and immediately upgraded all the remaining ordinary soldiers. Thereafter, he ordered the soldiers to carry the Tree Demon Tower that weighed tens of thousands of pounds to this hillock that was three kilometers away.

And now, he was making an incomparably difficult decision because of the threat of that deer demon.

It was especially so after learning that the deer demon had a more advanced Village Building Order than him, and that seriously annoyed him.

However, the Tree Demon Tower was too heavy.

He could choose to give up the Tree Demon Tower and travel light. After all, he had a captain, 12 elite shield soldiers, 6 elite bowmen, 7 elite spearmen. Including himself, there were a total of 26 men. With such a strength, he could freely survive in this primitive forest. He believed that the deer demon couldn't catch up with them even after they got out of the forest.

But if he didn't choose to give up the Tree Demon Tower, he wouldn't be able to hide from the deer demon that had a higher level Village Building Order. Even if he were to erase the tracks of his party and the Tree Demon Tower had a camouflage ability, the deer demon had already seen the Tree Demon Tower, so it was only a matter of time before it found them again.

All in all, I need a village. I also need the other features of the Village Building Order, even if I only have nine recruitment spots left.

With a bitter smile, Zhang Yang made his decision. Because the Tree Demon Tower was just too important.

Not to mention, the Tree Demon Tower only used three hours to help him recover after exhausting his soul energy, twice in a row within a day's time.

The 12 soldiers and Wu Yuan had also suffered serious injuries in the previous battle. Without a physician or medicine, how were they going to recover in this crisis-ridden forest?

But with the Tree Demon Tower, even a soldier with the most serious injuries could recover by the next morning.

Zhang Yang would rather die than give up such an important item, especially after experiencing the threat of the deer demon.

Okay. I'll build a village and treat whatever I said before as bullsh*t!

I'd like to see what that fella is capable of doing to take this Tree Demon Tower from me!

After making his decision, Zhang Yang didn't consider other factors because he knew he had no more choice. Building a village anywhere was the same since farming was impossible. After all, his priority was to keep the Tree Demon Tower with him.

Place the Village Building Order on the ground, consume 500 points of energy, and officially enter the process.

This was what Zhang Yang thought, but things turned out rather differently.

First of all, the Village Building Order had automatically melted into horizontal and vertical white threads, dividing 2,000 squares along the entirety of the hillock. Each square was exactly 1 square meter, which was equivalent to dividing the village into an area of 2,000 square meters.

Later, a message mapped out in front of Zhang Yang's eyes.

[The village is being built. Since your Village Building Order is (White), the initial village area will be expanded to 2,000 square meters. The village is entitled to have two finished buildings. Please spend 500 energy points to select (Choose to select/reject.)]

It's getting rather interesting.

Zhang Yang's eyes lit up. If this information had appeared yesterday, he would have cursed. Of course, at that moment, he didn't have the intention to build the village yet. But now, he was looking forward to it, for no other reason than the fact he was full of energy points now.

Even though he couldn't take down the deer demon, he successfully defeated 5 red eagle demons (level 5), 57 green wolf demons (level 1), and 12 bison demons (level 3).

Among them, one of the red eagle demons was imprisoned by Zhang Yang throughout and it turned into a special item like the Tree Demon Tower.

There was also another red eagle demon that was killed by Zhang Yang personally, so he obtained its perfect demon soul.

All the remaining ones were imperfect demon souls.

After upgrading all 18 ordinary soldiers, he still had 54 imperfect demon souls left, of which 3 red eagle demon souls were kept and the rest were all sold. The energy points he gained were as much as 3,290.

After selling four Red Eagle Hearts, he received another 200 energy points.

That was why Zhang Yang wasn't short of energy points at all. He instantly clicked on the selection.
