Chapter 305 311: The Most Important Decision
Zhang Xiaoqiang asked, "How should we deal with these two captives?"
Hang Yu answered that question with his actions.
His sword mercilessly pierced through the two Jackal Wolfmen.
With their already depleted Life Energy completely exhausted, Yeno and Yegu died on the spot, releasing green Spiritual Qi, which was shared by Hang Yu, Bai, Dog, and the Giant Ant.
A big pile of items exploded out.
There were potions, scrolls, and equipment.
Four pieces of Green Equipment: Yeno's magic staff and shoes, Yegu's leather armor, and ring.
Despite all being level 9 and 10 Green Equipment.
They had clearly been used for too long.
Not much Durability remained.
This type of equipment isn't particularly valuable in the Spirit Realm because, just like potions and scrolls, most equipment in the Spirit Realm is consumable, only with a slower consumption rate.
Due to the highly underdeveloped commerce in the Spirit Realm and very limited means to acquire resources, some decent equipment becomes useless once their Durability is depleted, since they are hard to repair without specific materials, eventually ending up discarded.
As long as there is battle.
Equipment wear and tear is inevitable.
Therefore, common native equipment isn't abundant in the Spirit Realm.
However, in the human world, this kind of equipment could definitely fetch a high price at auction.
The human population is enormous, with ten million in Jiang City alone. Exchanging resources and acquiring materials is very convenient as long as the repair materials are not too rare or niche, they can generally be found.
Jiang Nan exclaimed, "Why did the Great God kill them?"
"What else could we do? Keep them for the holidays?" Hang Yu put away his weapon and continued, "There are only a few dozen of us, and we can't stay in the Spirit Realm forever. It's too hard to guard these prisoners."
Zhang Xiaoqiang said at this moment, "But, Boss Hang, if we kill them, the Jackal Wolfmen in Deserted Valley Town will certainly find out!"
Hang Yu said, "If we don't kill them, Deserted Valley Town will notice their absence, and uncertain of what happened, might send a search team tonight. By killing them now, we might intimidate them."
If the Jackal Wolfmen send someone to investigate.
It would be even more troublesome to deal with later.
Killing them will immediately alert the Jackal Wolfmen, certainly.
However, this Jackal Wolfman faction isn't particularly strong, so when they confirm the death of their comrades, their cautious and sensitive nature might make them hesitant to act.
How did the former Lord of Deserted Valley Town lose power?
Wasn't it, after the former Lord's demise, that the intense internal strife caused them to overlook external threats?
For these Jackal Wolfmen, the territory of Deserted Valley Town is the most important thing, and the greater the unknown threats from the outside, the more they defend it smartly, not daring to act rashly.
Yeno and Yegu aren't considered strong.
Resurrection would only take five or six days.
Rather than taking risks, the Jackal Wolfmen might prefer to wait for the two to resurrect.
They will only organize troops to eliminate us after assessing the situation and confirming there's no danger.
Thankfully, the Jackal Wolfmen, as native creatures, don't have the benefits like the human Descenders do, otherwise, if they could communicate via Spirit Realm phones, Hang Yu and his group would definitely be in big trouble.
Hang Yu instructed, "Starting today, everyone must be cautious when going out. Everyone must prepare potions to remove their aura and Stealth Potions to conceal their presence, ensuring we are not discovered as much as possible."
Xu Tianhua somberly said, "The Jackal Wolfmen's innate ability is Reconnaissance, even if we hide well, we can't be completely flawless and leave no trace. Ultimately, this isn't a long-term plan."
"Old Xu is right, hiding in a cave isn't a long-term plan. To truly establish ourselves in the Spirit Realm, we need our own territory!" Hang Yu continued, "Deserted Valley Town isn't bad!"
Xu Tianhua asked, "You want to seize Deserted Valley Town?"
"It's not that I want to take Deserted Valley Town, it's that we must take it!" Hang Yu said, "If we don't have a territory, it will be difficult to truly establish ourselves in the future... Although Deserted Valley Town is small, it can be our starting point."
Everyone fell silent.
There was no doubt Hang Yu was right.
The cave base has nothing, can't even ensure supply.
The Earth Dragon Realm and Descent Forest are completely different environments. Territories and towns are not just safe zones or supply points but are the foundation for growth and expansion.
Everyone will soon understand the importance of territory.
However, the more pressing question is, how can one take over a territory...
Even if it is Deserted Valley Town.
There are over a dozen Lord-level entities stationed there.
And at least several hundred elite territory soldiers.
How can we fight them?
It would be a blessing if we weren't attacked.
Hang Yu said, "Everyone, don't worry. We probably have five to six days to prepare. During this time, more and more people will arrive, and I believe our team will continue to grow."
Jiang Nan clenched his fists and said, "Yes, the Great God is right, everyone is trying to break through Descent Forest, and our team will keep growing. Even if discovered by the Jackal Wolfmen, we might not be destroyed!"
Hang Yu said, "Meanwhile, others shouldn't sit idle. We need to keep grinding monsters and leveling up, to raise our level as soon as possible, understood?"
"Yes!"
"We understand!"
"Follow Boss Hang's lead!"
Xiaoqiang and a few other impulsive people immediately started echoing him.
Even though Boss Hang isn't the direct leader, he has already become everyone's spiritual leader, giving them the feeling that as long as he is around, no challenge is insurmountable.
Hang Yu cleared out some more monsters.
When he returned to the cave.
Zhao Ming and Xu Tianhua immediately invited him over for a chat.
Hang Yu initially thought the two intended to discuss plans to deal with the Jackal Wolfmen attack.
However, the result was unexpected.
Zhao Ming said, "Xu Tianhua and I have discussed it, and we have decided to officially support you as our leader in the Spirit Realm from now on."
Hang Yu was quite surprised, "But I am already, aren't I?"
Old Zhao and Old Xu almost fainted.
Boss! Can you leave us some dignity?
Regardless of whether Zhao Ming and Xu Tianhua wanted to admit it or not, Hang Yu's influence had greatly surpassed theirs.
If Hang Yu gave the command.
He could formally organize direct leadership of their Spirit Realm faction.
At least half of Zhao Ming and Xu Tianhua's subordinates would detach and directly join him.
Xu Tianhua said, "What we mean is, from now on, together with all our subordinates, we will turn over everything to you. From now on, there will be no second faction among us!"
Hang Yu understood.
Although he was the leader.
Strictly speaking, he was only the "supreme leader during wartime."
In other words, whenever there was a major battle, Hang Yu would be brought out to act as commander to lead the fight, and when the battle concluded, or when he was no longer needed, everyone would go their separate ways, having nothing to do with each other.
He had no control of finances.
He had no personnel control.
He could not truly command the team.
He was merely the titular leader, actually without real power.
The reason why the battles had gone so smoothly was purely because several true team bosses supported him, allowing him to indirectly control the team through them.
Now the two of them have figured it out.
They decided to relinquish power, bring the team, and join Hang Yu.
This was a lucky break for Hang Yu; two human teams that had undergone initial refinement with decent quality were handed directly into his hands, and he barely had to give anything in return.
These forces would take the opportunity to merge into one.
Making Hang Yu a team leader with real authority and genuine meaning.
Hang Yu asked, "Are you sure about this? Your current teams, you have spent more than a month and considerable effort refining them. Isn't it too easy for me this way?"
Xu Tianhua said, "It's not a problem. I originally built this team not entirely for my personal interests."
Zhao Ming added, "I always thought if I patiently absorbed talent to cultivate the team, I could have an advantage in the future... After leaving the Descent Forest and entering the Earth Dragon Realm, I realized many things!"
Exactly!
When human factions entered the Spirit Realm.
Facing other natives, they were ultimately still too weak.
They couldn't even handle a small town occupied by mere Jackal Wolfmen.
With just that much power, they started dreaming of vying for the Spirit Realm? Buddy, wake up, it's laughable!
As long as there are factions.
There will definitely be divisions.
Unity is essential at this time.
After discussion, Zhao Ming and Xu Tianhua.
The two decided to collaborate and merge teams.
But the two were pretty evenly matched, so who would be the leader was a problem.
Let Zhao Ming lead? Xu Tianhua definitely wouldn't agree!
Let Xu Tianhua lead? Zhao Ming certainly wouldn't be satisfied.
Not just them, their subordinates felt the same.
So they simply decided to join Hang Yu.
Let Hang Yu be the leader.
And the two would become deputy leaders.
Wouldn't that solve all the problems?
Most importantly, this approach could bind Hang Yu to the team completely, making Hang Yu, who was previously on the periphery, the true leader of everyone.
Give to gain, there's give and take.
Though temporarily upsetting, Zhao and Xu both felt this was a crucial step upon entering the vast Spirit Realm, enough to set the future development framework!
