Chapter 235: Chapter 146: Everyone’s Back!At this moment, Zhou Bai, who was fighting amidst the Magic Beast Group, had noticed the crowd that had appeared at the city gate and spotted his own father among them. Without a second thought, he cut a bloody path through the Demon Beasts and arrived in front of Zhou Zhengping and the others. Zhou Zhengping and his group were staring at the scene before them, dumbfounded. It wasn’t just Watt and the others who had come along. Even the residents of Hope Village couldn’t understand what was happening to their territory. Suddenly, a small Beast Tide had emerged, and everyone’s combat style was different, with various Magic Spells flying chaotically around the battlefield... Everything had become much more unfamiliar. "Dad, you’re back," Zhou Bai exclaimed with surprise, his worried heart considerably relieved. Zhou Zhengping steadied his emotions, "Is this what you’ve achieved since returning from Bengala Town?" Although taken aback, Zhou Zhengping was intelligent. Having seen Magic Spells in Abo Duowei Village, he didn’t think Bengala Town would be without them. The only explanation for their appearance in Hope Village was that they had also mastered the use of these Magic Spells. "Yes, we bought a lot of Magic Books, and they contain all kinds of Magic Spells. Everyone is just practicing," Zhou Bai responded. He could tell from Zhou Zhengping’s unsurprised expression that they must have seen similar things in other territories. Perfect! Hope Village seemed to be officially entering the Magic World now. "What about the Beast Tide?" "It’s deliberate. As long as the number of Demon Beasts within the territory exceeds a certain ratio, it can form a small Beast Tide, bringing even more Demon Beasts," Zhou Bai explained. "Because of this Beast Tide, everyone’s Experience Points are rising much faster." Before, most of the territory’s Residents were stuck at Level 10, but now many had already broken through to Level 11. Because of the residents’ enthusiasm, the Levels within the territory were actually quite competitive. If one person advanced to Level 12 today, surely a bunch more would pop up in a couple of days. She was pretty happy about that. Her being strong didn’t mean much on its own; it was only when everyone was strong that the territory truly became powerful. So, the defensive power of the city walls suffered daily wear and tear, and Zhou Bai accepted it happily. Zhou Zhengping, listening to this, let out a sigh of relief. As long as the territory was fine, that was all that mattered. Meanwhile, Watt and the others who had come with him watched their calm conversation and pursed their lips. They’d heard everything being said. They had thought it was a territory too weak for words, but now it seemed stronger than they had imagined. After finishing their exchange, Zhou Bai also noticed Watt and the others. "Who are they?" Zhou Bai asked directly. "They are Residents of Abo Duowei Village, who came back with us. Abo Duowei Village fell during the Territory War and was captured," Zhou Zhengping explained. Zhou Bai listened and wanted to ask for more details, but seeing the weary look on these people’s faces, he guessed the situation in Abo Duowei Village was probably quite bad. It was better not to poke their wounds in front of them. "Just you?" Zhou Bai asked, looking at Watt. Abo Duowei Village, no matter the circumstances, was a Third-level Village with a population of five thousand. Looking at Watt’s group, they only numbered around a hundred? Watt, observing Zhou Bai’s protagonistic demeanor, had a hunch about her Identity. She must belong to the village’s leadership. A member of the territory’s management at Level 12? In this very short span of time, Watt’s mind raced with many thoughts. Nevertheless, he maintained a calm facade and said, "We’ve come to help. There are some other ordinary Residents behind us; I’ve already sent someone to bring them here." Knowing that Hope Village could control the small Beast Tide, he had already sent for people to come over. As he finished speaking, another group of people appeared behind them. Watching the hundreds of people gathered both in front and behind, a glint of light passed through Zhou Bai’s eyes. Now she had only one thought: to keep the people here! In the next moment, her lips curved into a brilliant smile, "I am Zhou Bai, Village Chief of Hope Village. On behalf of Hope Village, I welcome your arrival." Watt: "..." "Everyone, please wait here for now! Once we have dealt with the Demon Beasts, we can enter the territory," Zhou Bai continued. Listening, Watt glanced past Zhou Bai towards the territory behind her. The battle had turned into a one-sided affair. Many of the Demon Beasts, sensing danger, were already trying to retreat, but their escape was completely blocked, leaving them with no way out. Even so, some Residents were deliberately surrounding several Magic Beasts, as if testing out Magic Spells on them. The Professionals of Hope Village could cast Magic Spells, but Zhou Zhengping and the others could not. Combining the conversations they had overheard, Watt came to a conclusion. They’d learned their Magic Spells in the past few days? With that thought, Watt voiced his suspicion. Zhou Bai listened and nodded, "Most people have just learned them today." Zhou Bai wasn’t afraid of others knowing this; it was a fact. Moreover, by stating this, she wanted the others to see the potential of their territory. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Compared to now, their territory might have somewhat of a gap with other territories of the same level, but in terms of potential, she felt that Hope Village wouldn’t be lacking! Sure enough, when Watt heard Zhou Bai say this, his gaze shifted instantly. Zhou Bai had come out of the Beast Tide all by herself. She’d also learned in the past two days but was capable at such a level. Was her Magic Talent too astonishing? And the people behind her, even if their levels varied, still had remarkable Talents. In an instant, Watt completely reversed his opinion of Hope Village in his heart. Even so, Watt also entertained the thought of staying in Hope Village. Bengala Town was certainly leagues better than Hope Village, but the problem was, if they went to Bengala Town, they would just be ordinary low-level Professionals, but if they stayed in Hope Village, they could potentially become a top team and gain more benefits. Apart from Zhou Bai, many people listening to their conversation entertained the same thought. Zhou Bai looked at their thoughtful expressions and decided it was enough. And so, as time passed, the number of Demon Beasts plummeted until they finally disappeared. After dealing with that, the eyes of the Professionals from Hope Village swiftly turned towards this side. "Let’s go!" Zhou Bai said, then took the lead. Soon, they almost met up at the city gate. Seeing Zhou Zhengping’s group, many people spoke with some excitement. "Captain Zhou, does your Abo Duowei Village have any special products?" "Are there any novel Magic Items?" "Are these people here to do business in our Hope Village? What are they selling?" "..." Hearing their questions, Watt was somewhat stunned. Were the residents of Hope Village a bit too lively? "Let’s enter the territory first! We’ve been on the road all day." Zhou Zhengping said helplessly, it wasn’t good to discuss the situation of Abo Duowei Village in front of these survivors! "Alright then!" The group tactfully refrained from asking further. So, a crowd of hundreds prepared to walk inside. It was at this moment that Zhou Bai noticed two dense clusters of green dots appeared within his territory range, entering from different directions. His step faltered, "They’re back!" "Which team?" Zhou Zhengping asked subconsciously; aside from his, there were still three other teams, weren’t there? Were they also returning today? And in a flash, another cluster appeared, and the numbers were not small. Together, that made three clusters! The corners of Zhou Bai’s mouth lifted slightly, "Seems like they’ve all returned." Three clusters were too much of a coincidence! It was highly likely they were the three teams that had left! "Then we’ll go in first and send out a notice to prepare more food," Zhou Zhengping said. There were hundreds of them in their party, and even if the other teams didn’t bring anyone back, there would still be several hundred people in total. Coming back together meant the territory had a lot to prepare. "Mhm." Zhou Bai nodded, then continued walking further in. And Watt, following behind them, had a hint of surprise in his eyes as he listened to their conversation. Their meaning was clear; aside from Zhou Zhengping’s team, there were three other teams that had gone to other territories and it seemed they had all safely returned. This Hope Village was quite good at exploring. With that thought, Watt and his companions followed into Hope Village. Once they truly entered the territory and paid the fee to become visitors, the brightly lit scene inside surprised Watt. Hope Village was more prosperous than he had imagined! What was most important was the planning; it looked particularly orderly. The main road in the middle seemed exceptionally vast. Such roads, he had seen only in cities. As the thought flashed by, he soon had no more mind to think. Because, he caught the smell of layer upon layer of delicious aromas in the air. The goods sold by Zhou Zhengping’s group in Abo Duowei Village tasted extraordinarily good, and they had been tempted along the way. Upon arriving at Hope Village, this scent seemed even more dominant and it was all new to them, stirring their cravings. "Fried chicken burgers with fries + chilled fruit juice!" "Cold noodles and cold skin, freshly made!" "..." Accompanied by the vendors’ cries, people tired from a day’s journey couldn’t help but head towards the shops. They didn’t want to think about anything else; they wanted to fill their stomachs first! Streams of hundreds flowed into the shops in an instant. Meanwhile, several teams met on the main road of the territory. Seeing each other, a knowing smile appeared on everyone’s faces. They, had all safely returned!
