Chapter 455: The Second Phase Plan (1/2)
Chapter 455: The Second Phase Plan
At Yunxia Mountain, within a council chamber, Wang Hong and a group of his subordinates gathered.
"Xu Lun, how are the demon-hunting trees distributed around Yunxia Mountain progressing?" Wang Hong inquired, taking the lead.
"Reporting, East Master, everything is going smoothly. Now, the villagers can occasionally hunt and kill low-tier Demonic Beasts themselves," Xu Lun replied.
This plan had begun several years ago when Wang Hong provided a demon-hunting tree to each village settled around Yunxia Mountain. Villagers started hunting wild beasts to feed the demon-hunting trees. While the essence blood from these beasts was minimal, over time, it occasionally yielded seeds.
The villagers could exchange the harvested demon-hunting tree seeds for simplified Essence Core Pills at Yunxia Mountain. With time and accumulation, the villagers' strength steadily increased.
From initially being able to hunt wild animals, they progressed to hunting ferocious beasts. Now, the villagers had even learned to set traps and collectively eliminate solitary small Demonic Beasts.
Everything around Yunxia Mountain was an experimental endeavor orchestrated by Wang Hong, testing the feasibility of such an approach.
In reality, after the previous upheaval, these Mortals all harbored the desire to strengthen themselves, ensuring they wouldn't become prey to Demonic Beasts if they lost the protection of Immortal Masters.
Previously, they had the desire to become stronger but lacked the means. Now, Wang Hong had given them an opportunity to do so, and they cherished it greatly.
At the beginning, they often went hungry, with ten or more people putting in tremendous effort to catch a single wild beast. When they finally had prey in hand, instead of taking a piece of meat home to satisfy their children's hunger, they prioritized feeding it to the demon-hunting trees.
Finally, their efforts bore fruit, and they all possessed strength far beyond ordinary Mortals.
"Excellent! The trial of the first-tier stage has concluded successfully. Now, let's proceed to the second phase. Luo Zhongjie, you will be responsible for executing this second-phase plan," Wang Hong expressed his satisfaction with the previous plan.
"East Master! What is this second-phase plan, and how should I go about it?" Luo Zhongjie asked inquisitively.
"These Mortals have consumed Essence Core Pills, and while their strength is greater than ordinary Mortals, they lack knowledge of true combat techniques and cannot fully unleash their potential. Your East Zhou combat team excels in various aspects of combat training. You will dispatch members of the East Zhou combat team to each village, gather the young and strong individuals, and conduct intensive training while teaching them the art of combat. Each village must have a well-trained squad in the future," Wang Hong explained.
