A stream of messages flashed before Zhang Yang's eyes, and his heart truly churned with emotion, even a hint of lingering fear.

In truth, the Jackalman Village Chief's army was quite strong.

The feeling of sixty or seventy Captain-grade soldiers charging forward was truly an overwhelming wave; Wu Yuan, the Four Berserker Bears—none of them could have withstood it.

If the Jackalman Village Chief hadn't trusted its Imps so completely, allowing Zhang Yang to deliberately deceive it, who knew how this battle would have ended.

"So, while soldiers definitely need to be developed, it's really impossible without heroes, and you absolutely need a Village Chief's ultimate ability. That Deer Demon and the Jackalman Village Chief were both a bit extreme, but after this battle, the Jackalman Village Chief will probably immediately realize its mistake. When it tries to make a comeback—no, how could I possibly give it another chance to make a comeback?"

"And now, it's time for me to improve myself."

Thinking this, Zhang Yang clicked on the Golden Scales, intending to use the complete Captain Demon Souls to enhance himself. But the next moment, he froze, because on one side of the scales wasn't just one complete Captain Demon Soul, but a full thirty of them. And on the other side of the scales, it was no longer energy points, but a white dice.

"Explanation: Obtaining more than 10 complete white souls at once will automatically activate a second trading mode. Note: Only valid for the current trade."

"Huh?"

Zhang Yang was surprised. There's a mode like this?

After a moment of thought, he carefully examined it. The white dice currently showed nine pips, the maximum value. When he removed five Captain Demon Souls, the dice immediately flipped, changing to six pips.

But what exactly is this thing?

Zhang Yang removed another five Captain Demon Souls, and the dice changed to three pips.

Removing five more, the dice became one pip.

When only 10 Demon Souls remained on the scales, the dice disappeared, replaced by 20,000 Energy. It seemed to have reverted to the first trading mode.

"This price change is really temperamental."

Zhang Yang thought for a moment, then placed all the complete Demon Souls back on. The white dice instantly showed nine pips.

"Screw it, I'm gambling!"

After only a few seconds of hesitation, Zhang Yang made his decision.

The main reason was that he was quite well-off now, so he could afford to take the risk. Moreover, obtaining complete Demon Souls was simple: the Village Building Order binder had to personally kill the target.

This condition was almost impossible for the Jackalman Village Chief to meet, but Zhang Yang had no problem with it.

"I choose to trade!"

Swish!

A flash of light passed over the Golden Scales, and then all thirty complete Captain Demon Souls disappeared. At the same time, a white dice appeared in Zhang Yang's hand. Now, he could finally check its item properties.

Name: Resurrection Dice.

Quality: Gold.

Durability: 20/20

Usage: Use the Resurrection Dice. Each roll can resurrect a friendly soldier who has been dead for no more than 12 hours. Note: Cannot resurrect heroes/lords.

"Holy cow!"

Zhang Yang was instantly overcome with excitement, his blood boiling. He didn't know where the strength came from, but he leaped up with a somersault and yelled hysterically, "Someone! Quick, someone, bring all our dead brothers over here! Hurry, hurry!"

He was truly ecstatic. Being able to resurrect 20 soldiers was incredibly significant to him, and it was absolutely worth it!

The battle had just ended, and the fallen soldiers were being laid aside, ready for burial. Now, hearing Zhang Yang's shouts, the soldiers were confused but still complied.

A total of 12 bodies were laid out in order.

Zhang Yang took a deep breath at this moment to calm himself down. Then, he carefully took out the Resurrection Dice and gently rolled it over the first body. Instantly, a white light enveloped the corpse, like some kind of resurrection spell. But that wasn't important. What was important was that under the shroud of white light, the wounds on the dead soldier's body began to heal, and he resurrected!

The moment he resurrected, one point of durability disappeared from the Resurrection Dice.

This miraculous scene stunned everyone. After a long moment, a huge cheer erupted. Damn, it's a miracle!

Zhang Yang quickly checked the resurrected soldier's stats. Good, his attributes had indeed reappeared in the Village Building Order, though his current status was critically wounded and he couldn't move around freely yet. But as long as he was alive, everything else was secondary.

Next, Zhang Yang continuously used the Resurrection Dice, resurrecting one dead soldier after another. He couldn't express how happy he was.

It was just a shame that the Resurrection Dice only had 20 durability points.

After a moment of emotion, Zhang Yang carefully put away the Resurrection Dice. By now, the number of soldiers under his command had returned to pre-war levels.

This included: 1 Quasi-Hero 4 Captain-grade Infantry 14 Captain-grade Archers 6 Elite Spearmen 5 Elite Sword and Shield Soldiers 50 New Recruits in training 1 Junior Craftsman 1 Village Imp 1 Instructor

And then there was Zhang Yang himself. Oh, after the Village Building Order upgraded tomorrow, there would be even more farmers.

"It wasn't easy. I've finally accumulated some assets," Zhang Yang thought, feeling pleased but also constantly staying vigilant. Then, he immediately summoned the 9 incomplete souls he had. He wanted to recruit more Village Imps. These things were useless in combat, but they were incredibly useful for reconnaissance and scouting out enemy intelligence.

However, Zhang Yang was then disappointed because the souls he had captured were too low-level to be converted and recruited as Village Imps. They could, however, be used to upgrade his existing Imp.

That was fine too. Zhang Yang immediately used three incomplete souls to upgrade the Village Imp directly to a Soul Reaper Ghost.

So that's how it is. The Imp under the Jackalman Village Chief had upgraded to a Soul Reaper Ghost, which is why it scared my Imp so much it didn't dare go out.

But when Zhang Yang chose to continue upgrading, the Soul Reaper Ghost's subsequent evolution actually presented a branching path.

"Do you want to consume six incomplete souls, 50 units of Yin Energy, 10 ordinary Demon Souls, and 50 units of ordinary Demon Blood to upgrade the Soul Reaper Ghost to a Ghost Assassin?"

"Do you want to consume six incomplete souls, 50 units of Yin Energy, 10 ordinary Demon Souls, and 50 units of ordinary Demon Blood to upgrade the Soul Reaper Ghost to a Ghost Priest?"

This was interesting. A Ghost Assassin was undoubtedly a very powerful offensive class, while the latter—

Zhang Yang looked up at the Wood Demon Tower and immediately made a decision. A Ghost Priest would definitely greatly benefit the Wood Demon Tower, and how useful it would be was evident from the heavily wounded soldiers scattered all over the ground.

"Choose to upgrade to Ghost Priest!"

In an instant, black mist flashed, and a cloud of black smoke appeared out of thin air in front of Zhang Yang, startling the surrounding soldiers. The air around them also dropped by more than ten degrees.

But this black smoke bowed towards Zhang Yang and then whooshed into the Wood Demon Tower. At this point, everyone felt cool and comfortable, and even the air smelled much sweeter.

Zhang Yang then looked at the Ghost Priest's attributes in the Village Building Order, and indeed, they were very different.

Ghost Priest Race: Abyssal Ghost Tribe Faction: Human Affiliation: Village Chief Zhang Yang's Village Level: 15 Soul: White Talent: Yin Energy Self-Generation Skill: Ghost Wall Lv5 Skill: Ghost Possession Lv5 Skill: Ghost Escape Lv5 Passive Skill: Ghost Eye. Automatically generates two Ghost Eyes every day, which can be randomly placed within five kilometers of the main body.

Looking at the Wood Demon Tower again, its attributes had changed.

Wood Demon Tower: Level 2
