"Don't count your chickens before they hatch … Based on what happened to the previous settlements, these 'villains' don't just attack alien settlements … Also, the two you mentioned won't show up right now!"
Ji Ye frowned.
He finally understood. No wonder there was no requirement for a "race war" in this round.
It was because the villains of the civilizations created by different races had appeared. These people might even kill their own people, let alone alien races.
The conflicts between different civilizations and races would only intensify because of this.
"These villains that represent the 'evil' of a race or civilization are probably one of the hidden meanings of the second half of 'not only will we have to compete with alien races, but we will also have to face all kinds of difficulties at the same time'.
"However, what I'm more curious about is that the settlements that Elder Meng mentioned are all villains that have encountered foreign settlements. Are they trying to provoke internal conflicts in our civilization?
"If we push forward like this, will we run into the villains in our own settlement's background? For example, Wang Qing and the other forces in Water Margin. Also, will Skynet appear as a villain and form the Terminators? "
Guo Wei's eyes were deep in thought under his silver glasses.
"We don't have enough information yet. I can't answer these questions."
Elder Meng shook his head.
"However, I believe that these villains are heroes after all. Given the same conditions, they'll probably be more willing to attack alien races. "
Then, he added another sentence.
That wasn't groundless.
There were still more than 50,000 Earth settlements in the Land of Inheritance. Only a few of them had encountered the "villains" of the human race. The rest had encountered the "villains" of alien races!
It meant that the Land of Inheritance didn't deliberately let the righteous and evil forces of different races and civilizations "kill" each other!
Otherwise, even the Twin Dragon Mount would have a headache.
It was because "heroes of the Water Margin" was a compliment to most people. However, some of the "heroes of Liangshan" were not qualified to be called "heroes"!
For example, Zhou Tong, Wang Ying, Dong Ping, Sun Erniang … If these people appeared as villains and made contact with the Twin Dragon Island, even Ji Ye would be in a difficult position.
After all, with Wu Song and the others' loyalty, they would probably be inclined to take him in when the time came.
Apart from anything else, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song would definitely consider Sun Erniang, who was also the leader of the Twin Dragon Mount fort!
…
After discussing this new "villain" force and coming up with some countermeasures, the Dark Elves and the Dark Elves decided on some countermeasures.
The topic of the meeting turned to Specter Ship again!
"Judging from the souls of a lot of Tyrant Lizards and Snake Monkeys that the Specter has controlled, it must've attacked the settlements of the two species and even killed their leaders. That's why it obtained tremendous wealth and treasures!"
"I reckon that the process was very smooth, and we didn't encounter any strong resistance."
Elder Zhou analyzed.
This Ghostship had mastered real Transcendent abilities.
It was not too difficult to destroy an Extraordinary Rank-5 or Rank-6 settlement that had no countermeasures.
And it was precisely because everything went so smoothly that the Specter Captain, who was the "villain" of the Four-Armed Naga civilization, launched an attack without much probing.
However, it happened to run into the Twin Dragon Island!
It was the most powerful existence in all the human settlements on Earth, and it couldn't be defeated by some soul creatures with obvious weaknesses. In the battle, only a dozen people from the Twin Dragon Mount fort died.
Not only did they gain equipment, but they also gained the talent of the Specter Captain.
Ji Ye had an idea that the "villain" force might have appeared on the Land of Inheritance not only as a test, but also as a way to deliver treasures.
The treasures didn't just refer to equipment and resources, but also the talent!
Just as Mister Bug said, some villains, such as the villains he just mentioned, were as famous as heroes, which naturally provided them with powerful talent abilities!
It was obviously a waste for those "villains" to have such excellent talent abilities.
Inheriting the talent abilities to the heroes who didn't have enough potential was the right way to improve the strength of the entire civilization!
Ji Ye even speculated that there might be a deeper meaning to inheriting the talent.
"A single villain is no threat to us, but I'm afraid that those villains will work together to attack a powerful settlement!"
At this moment, Elder Jiao spoke.
"Yes, Elder Jiao said that it's possible.
"I suspect that those villains need to complete certain 'quests' just like us!
"Okay. Next, we'll arrange for people to guard the players' base in shifts. Once there's any news about the villains on the forum, we'll be able to go online and inform them."
Ji Ye nodded.
Compared with the villains, the settlement that the players were in had a huge advantage, and that was that they could get information through the players when they went offline.
After that, Ji Ye announced the last decision.
"After defeating the Specter Ship, our settlement received a lot of power of providence. We've completely replenished the power of providence we used to summon Zhao Yun!
"This time, we've obtained three Commander-level Souls of Civilization and an Extraordinary Rank-7 Quasi-Commander Soul of Civilization.
"Given the current situation, I've decided to summon a few more heroes later!"
Ji Ye said to the others, who were rather surprised.
The reason was that the summoning ritual would consume a lot of power of providence, and the Twin Dragon Island had already reached Extraordinary Rank-9.
In the last meeting, they had discussed whether they should temporarily stop consuming power of providence, such as offering sacrifices, to see if they could be the first to complete the quest of advancing to the Transcendent level.
But since Ji Ye had said that, it meant that he didn't want to keep accumulating power of providence.
Firstly, they didn't know the conditions for a settlement to advance to the Transcendent level yet.
Ji Ye's intuition told him that it wouldn't be like the Extraordinary level before, where one could advance only by accumulating power of providence.
Secondly, they had run into the Specter Ship, a villainous force with thousands of dead souls, at the very beginning. They wouldn't rule out the possibility of encountering stronger or even weirder existences.
It was necessary to summon a few more heroes to better deal with the complicated situation.
Thirdly, Ji Ye could sense that the settlement had obtained more power of providence after defeating the Specter Ship than it did during the three days when they stopped using it.
Using the battle to nurture the battle and not to reduce the expenditure was probably the best strategy to advance!
Of course, the most important reason was that the Soul of Civilization dropped by the captain of the Specter Ship had reached Extraordinary Rank-7 and was rated as a Quasi-Commander.
That was more than enough to summon another Transcendent hero!
The only thing they needed to think about was which offering to use this time.
