Hearing this, Isabel bit her lower lip lightly and looked at the Blood Spider Queen angrily.
Because she really couldn’t refute it.
Cao Xing looked at Xierda beside him, and suddenly felt happy.
Unexpectedly, this woman who has always been extremely arrogant started to speak for him today.
Although it was during the battle, Cao Xing couldn’t help but give Xierda a thumbs up.
However, when the Blood Spider Queen saw Cao Xing’s gesture, she made a disdainful sound.
He tilted his head to the side again.
Cao Xing didn’t care either.
At this moment, the health of the elder of the human-faced tree had been cut down to the lowest level by Sarah.
In the [Hymn of Rebirth] state, Sarah immediately gave up all defenses and started slashing at the human-faced tree crazily! Those injury figures are shocking to see!
The elder of the Human Face Tree also knew that if it continued like this, it would be chopped to death by the dark elf woman in front of him!
At this moment, it took back all the notes and seemed to want to enter a life-draining state! Under this skill, the elder of the Human Face Tree will recover 1% every second, which is a recovery number of more than 5,000! At this time, Bronn rushed over directly.
Then he raised his shield and slammed it on the ground! Glacier fissure!
The terrifying frost spread and instantly covered the entire body of the human-faced tree.
And this also interrupted the Elder of the Human Face Tree’s [Life Draining] skill.
Cao Xing praised: “Bron, you did a good job.”
Bronn touched his head sheepishly.
After 8 seconds.
The new life hymn is not over yet.
The blood volume of the elder of the Human Face Tree has been cleared.
A system prompt appears.
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed the Human Face Tree Elder lv32, a fourth-level boss-level creature, and gained experience points: 6400]
[Combatants gain experience points: 3200]
…
At this moment, all the branches of the elders of the Human Face Tree drooped down.
Everyone quit the fighting state.
And Cao Xing saw that at the root of the elder tree of the human face tree, there appeared a heart full of life and a bright soul.
Cao Xing’s heart suddenly moved, and then he ordered: “Assam, it’s still the same as before, first chop off the branches on these human face trees.”
“As you command! Lord Lord!”
Everyone began to do so.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, couldn’t wait to come to the elder of the Human Face Tree and picked up everything on the ground.
[Obtain: Heart of the Elder of the Human Face Tree (Purple)]
[Obtain: Bark of the Elder of the Human Face Tree (Purple)]
[Obtain: High-grade sap (purple)*7]
[Obtain: Advanced Element Crystal*5]
[Obtain: Large Book of Agility*1]
…
“Sure enough, a more advanced human-faced tree heart appeared! Haha!”
Cao Xing was very excited.
Then he took a look at the properties of the materials.
[The heart of the elder of the human-faced tree (purple): a heart containing majestic vitality]
[Effect 1: After taking it, the life limit can be increased by 1000 points, and it can take effect once at most]
[Effect 2: Make some magic plants or special creatures accelerate the growth time, ranging from 3 to 5 years. 】
…
[The bark of the elder of the human-faced tree (purple): an extremely tough material, which also contains some of the life breath of the elder of the human-faced tree. 】
(Can be used to make rare-quality leather armor or other items, with a greater chance of adding special effects.)…
[High-grade sap (purple): sap containing magical power, with a clearer taste. 】
(After taking it, a large amount of mental power can be restored.)…
“It can actually increase the growth time by at least 3 years! This is too powerful!”
“Not only can the Pale Tree be accelerated this time, but it can also allow the Pale Tree to grow for a few more years!”
You must know that after the Pale Tree grows, it will have two blessing effects, which are very powerful.
And as the Pale Tree grows, the intensity of the blessing will increase.
At this moment, Dabai also felt very eager for the heart in Cao Xing’s hand.
Now the blue-quality human-faced tree heart has no effect on Baymax.
But this purple human-faced tree heart can allow Dabai to grow again.
Cao Xing touched its nose and said, “Dabai, don’t worry yet, I still have use for this heart.”
“I will find you a new boss heart next time you come to the Witch Forest, do you understand?”
“Woo…”
Dabai nodded gently, seeming to understand Cao Xing’s words.
It presses the desire in the heart.
At this time, Assam and the others had also cut down all the vines on the human-faced trees.
However, a lot of effort was wasted on this boss-level human-faced tree.
These vines are so resilient!
Then, Cao Xing also put away a large pile of materials on the ground.
[Obtain: Tough Vine (green)*782]
[Obtain: Strong Vine (Blue)*195]
[Obtain: Ancient Vine (Purple)*113]
[Obtain: Ice crystal human face tree guarding the heart (blue)*2]
[Obtain: Ice Crystal Face Tree Guardian Bark (Blue)*2]
[Obtain: Mid-grade sap (blue)*36]
【get……】
……
Cao Xing glanced at his backpack.
Among them, the total number of human-faced tree hearts of various grades exceeds one hundred.
There are 102 green grade ones.
There are 8 blue grade ones.
1 piece of purple grade.
Beyond that, there’s a lot of vines, bark, and sap.
Cao Xing sighed again: “I have gained so much today!”
He glanced at the time above his head.
[Distance to nightfall: 1 hour and 53 minutes]
[Current temperature: -56℃]
[Current weather: Moderate snow]
…
“Huh? Has it started to snow yet?”
Cao Xing raised his head and looked at the sky.
However, it seems that because the vegetation of Witch Forest is too dense, even the snowflakes cannot drift in.
However, the temperature continues to drop.
Cao Xing thought for a moment and then said: “Let’s go, we are going to return to the camp.”
After saying this, he and Liu Muxue returned to Dabai’s back.
And on Dabai’s back, there is a hunter killer tied up with five flowers.
Boom! Boom!
The mammoth’s pace wasn’t too fast.
Because the terrain in the forest is more complex and there are many obstacles.
If the aborigines of this world did not have a strong sense of direction, even third- and fourth-level experts would probably get lost in the forest.
But fortunately, Cao Xing has a mini map that comes with the system.
With Cao Xing’s guidance, they started to move forward. It took about half an hour to break out of the Witch Forest.
We also encountered some attacks from human-faced trees and wild beasts on the way.
But Cao Xing didn’t want to waste time, so he didn’t bother with them any more.
The moment you step out of the witch forest.
Cao Xing saw a vast expanse of white in front of him, and a cold wind blew in his face instantly.
“call–“
Not only that, snowflakes as big as goose feathers kept falling, filling almost all the scenes ahead.
Cao Xing couldn’t help complaining: “I’ll go… where is this Zhongxue?”
“Is this a big blizzard?”
Assam and others were also a little confused.
The weather was fine when we entered the forest, but as soon as we came out we encountered such heavy wind and snow.
Moreover, such heavy snow is likely to cause some geological disasters.
Cao Xing said: “We need to speed up the pace. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, which will slow down our movement speed.”
“From now on, you follow me and move forward at full speed!”
After saying that, Cao Xing controlled Dabai and started running out.
Others followed behind the mammoth and hurried on.
Boom! Boom!
The mammoth stepped out with its thick hooves, and each time it stepped down, it dug a deep snow pit.
Cao Xing didn’t know how long it had been snowing.
But it should be no more than three hours.
The snow on the ground has once again reached Dabai’s ankles, and is almost forty to fifty centimeters thick.
“Huh-huh-“
The cold wind howled in his ears, and the snowflakes in the sky fascinated Cao Xing’s eyes.
After a while, a layer of snow appeared on everyone’s heads or bodies.
Even Assam’s armor had a little bit of white frost on it.
Under such heavy wind and snow, the visibility was no more than 20 meters.
Even if there is a mini map, it will not tell you what obstacles or traps are ahead.
Several times, because Dabai rushed too fast, Cao Xing had no time to direct and almost hit a boulder.
In desperation, Cao Xing could only ask Dabai to slow down his movement.
‘Medium snow’ greatly reduced their ability to move.
Until nightfall, the heavy snow continued to fall.
It took them nearly two and a half hours to arrive near the territory.
It was completely dark by now.
Cao Xing glanced at the coordinates of the camp.
There are still 30 kilometers away from their current location.
Cao Xing said: “It’s almost there, it will take about twenty minutes.”
The temperature now has dropped to -60℃.
And there is another troublesome thing.
That is, as night falls, visibility decreases again.
In other words, their forward speed will be hindered.
A group of people braved the wind and snow and ran wildly in the vast snowfield.
However, the newly joined Isabel and Hilda don’t know what they are doing.
The two women, one behind the other, seemed to be competing to see who could move faster.
Cao Xing was speechless. The two women got angry and wanted to compete over everything.
As they ran, they even got in front of Cao Xing.
At this moment, Isabel condensed a ball of holy light, turned into the shape of a shuttle, and placed it under her feet.
When passing by Cao Xing, Isabel whispered: “Lord, let me use the holy light to guide your way forward.”
Although Cao Xing was confused, he still nodded.
At the same time, Isabel raised her staff, and the power of the holy light gathered like a bright light bulb, illuminating the road ahead.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing said happily: “Can this holy light be used like this?”
Also a mage, Isabel’s control of the Holy Light has reached the point of perfection.
At least, Cao Xing thought he couldn’t do it by condensing the power of the Holy Light and using it as a skateboard.
Even if he breaks through to the third level, he can’t do this.
After thinking about it, this may be related to Isabel’s skill: [Advanced Holy Light Control].
Ai Li, the mage apprentice in Cao Xing’s territory, has the skill [Elementary Water Coordination].
When their understanding and application of elements reaches a new stage, they will become [Intermediate Water Coordination] and can master more advanced magic.
Just like Assam’s [Basic Sword Mastery].
Through continuous practice, you can develop your swordsmanship from beginner level to intermediate level, and then to advanced level.
Every breakthrough will make his swordsmanship more exquisite.
…
With Isabel’s guidance, Cao Xing and others’ progress greatly accelerated.
At this time, Cao Xing saw that Xierda had begun to fall behind.
Due to the gap in levels, Hilda was quickly left behind by Isabel.
At this moment, Isabel, who was as holy as a goddess, turned back and chuckled.
However, this made Hilda feel humiliated!
But there was nothing she could do.
He could only say angrily: “Damn stinky woman! When I regain my original strength, I will tear your skirt to pieces and hang you upside down on the pillar!”
Seeing her angry look, Cao Xing said: “Don’t be angry. When you reach level 20, I will give you an intermediate heart of power, and you will almost be able to catch up with her.”
Hearing this, Xierda directly moved her eight legs and came to Cao Xing’s side, “Really? Lord?”
Cao Xing nodded, “Of course, when have I lied to you?”
At this moment, for the first time, a look of emotion appeared in the eyes of this proud Blood Spider Queen.
A system prompt appears.
[Because of your promise, territory member: Hilda Blood Kiss’s loyalty to you has increased, and the current loyalty is 80]
Cao Xing was stunned, he didn’t expect that this could increase his loyalty.
However, I finally raised the loyalty of this difficult Blood Spider Queen to 80.
At this moment, Hilda seemed to realize that her reaction was too exciting.
She tilted her head and hummed softly: “Hey! Even without your heart of power, I would still be able to overwhelm that woman.”
Cao Xing was speechless.
What a troublesome woman.
Of course, this is just a small episode.
Under the guidance of Isabel’s holy light, everyone continued on their way.
Thirty minutes later.
They were back near the territory.
…
Outside, it was snowy and windy.
Ahead, inside a territory enclosed by a three- to four-meter-high wall, it was as warm as spring.
The scattered snowflakes fell on the ground or buildings in the territory, and were quickly melted by the temperature emitted by the furnace.
Therefore, except for a circle around the territory, it seems to be clean ground.
The snow outside is almost one meter high! At the same time, there were many figures standing on the city wall.
Most of the citizens came to the city wall and looked forward to it.
After waiting for a while, the polar man Da Zhuang couldn’t help but said worriedly: “Why hasn’t the Lord come back today?”
The three heroes next to him echoed: “Yes, the lord has never come back so late…”
Others had worried looks in their eyes.
Xia Yanni next to her was also holding Tong Chuchu’s hand.
She saw the worry in her daughter’s eyes, and then comforted her softly: “Brother Cao Xing is so powerful, nothing will happen to him. Don’t worry, Chu Chu.”
“And I also sent him a message. They should still be on their way back.”
Tong Chuchu nodded vigorously, “Yeah!”
Including the tree spirit sisters, Ilena and others, were all waiting silently.
In this territory, Cao Xing has become the spiritual support of many people.
At this moment, Elisa, who was standing on the sentry tower, exclaimed: “Moon above, I saw a mammoth!”
“There seems to be a glowing woman!”
“The lord is back!”
Hearing this, everyone looked intently.
It was found that it was exactly what Elisa said.
A mammoth, leading a group of figures, ran wildly in the snow against the wind and snow.
At the front of the team was a woman who was riding a light shuttle and her whole body was glowing.
When Da Zhuang saw this scene, he immediately raised his hands in excitement.
“Haha! The Lord is finally back!”
“Very good!”
Everyone seemed very happy and excited.
Outside the territory, the mammoths were running with alarming momentum.
Even if the snow is almost one meter deep, it will not have any impact on Dabai’s body shape.
The door has been opened in advance.
And Cao Xing gave permission to the half-dead Safari Killer on his back.
Then he led everyone directly into the territory.
At this time, everyone saw Isabel bathing in the holy light, and they couldn’t help but be amazed by her beauty.
However, they quickly focused on Cao Xing! Just kidding, there are a lot of beauties in this territory, and they usually see a lot of them.
In comparison, the return of the lord is more exciting.
The polar man held his hammer and said excitedly: “Lord, you are back!”
The tree spirit clan next to him also said happily: “Lord, welcome back.”
Elisa came directly to Cao Xing and said excitedly: “Lord! You worry me to death!”
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing smiled and said: “What’s going on? Why does it seem like I can’t come back?”
Da Zhuang touched his head and said naively: “The lord has never come back so late before, and it’s snowing so heavily outside, so we are all worried about you.”
Leader Cao Yiye chuckled and said: “Yes, little Elisa was ready to assemble her archer team and go out to find the lord, but she was stopped by Mr. Mel.”
Hearing this, Elisa’s eyes widened immediately and she waved her hands quickly: “I didn’t! I didn’t!”
“I have some who stay in the territory honestly!”
After hearing this, Cao Xing looked over.
Elisa immediately lowered her head and said aggrievedly: “I know I was wrong…Lord…”
Seeing her pitiful look, Cao Xing smiled.
“Okay, I don’t blame you. Don’t do this next time, okay? Just stay in the territory.”
Speaking of this, Cao Xing thought of something.
“Also, didn’t I leave a small communication device for you and Kandar? Why don’t you use this to contact me?”
Hearing this, Elisa and the centaur looked at each other, and then suddenly realized something.
“Wow! I actually forgot about this!”
The centaur next to him also touched his head and said: “Lord, we centaurs have never used this kind of thing, so we subconsciously ignored it.”
Cao Xing was speechless.
At this moment, everyone laughed.
The sisters from the Tree Spirit Tribe, as well as Xia Yanni and her daughter, all had gentle smiles on their faces.
The four newly joined wild boar warriors looked at this scene with some surprise.
“Oh! Our powerful lord seems to be deeply loved by the people of his territory!”
“Yes, Rab! I have a feeling that this is a very good territory. I see happy smiles on the faces of these people!”
The Holy Light Priest next to him was thoughtful, “Are you happy? In such a cruel world, happiness is something more desirable than warmth.”
“Even the Holy See cannot make people happy…”
She stared at Cao Xing’s back, seeming to be thinking about something.
At this time, Cao Xing saw Cao Yi, the leader next to him, and said, “Cao Yi, please report today’s work.”
The elderly Cao Yi walked over with firm steps and solemnly said: “Go back to the lord.”
“Today we sent a total of forty people to collect at five resource points outside.”
“A total of 7,644 pieces of wood, 5,324 stones, and 1,455 pieces of coal have been collected.”
“Then there are some metal ores. After processing, a total of 894 pieces of iron* and 532 pieces of copper were obtained.”
Cao Xing nodded.
These are the basic resources of the territory and are quite important.
If the basic resources were sufficient, Cao Xing would not need to go to the trading market to exchange for these things, but would focus on exchanging ice dragon marks, skill books, blueprints and other things that would help improve his strength.
“Cao Yi, continue talking.”
Leader Cao Yi said: “After two days of mining, one of our small timber resource points has been collected.”
“Kandar and the Cantor warriors discovered a medium-sized forest five kilometers away. The wood in it should be enough for us to mine for seven days.”
“But they found the jungle troll’s footprints in the woods, but because it was getting dark, they didn’t go in.”
“In addition to these, we have also built half of the intermediate city wall, seven elementary element arrow towers, and five frost arrow towers.”
“However, we stopped after the bonfire reached level 12, because raising it to level 13 requires the use of precious metals like mithril.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing thought for a moment, and then looked at the furnace in the center of the territory.
[Furnace: Level 12]
[Furnace effect: can increase the temperature by 27℃~35℃ to an area with a diameter of 1500 meters]
[Consumption]: 60 minutes/240 wood or 60 minutes/60 coal.
[Materials required for the next level]: Stone*1000, wood 500, iron*300, copper*100, mithril*20, primary element crystal*10]
(Introduction: A furnace that can provide a large amount of heat source. With it, you already have the ability to survive in this extremely cold world.)…
After the furnace was upgraded to level 12, the heating range increased again by 500 meters, and the temperature also increased slightly.
However, Cao Xing currently has no idea of expanding his territory. The current territory area is enough.
Indeed, as Cao Yi said, when the furnace is upgraded from level 12 to level 13, mithril begins to be needed.
Cao Xing glanced at the reserves of precious materials in his backpack.
[Primary element crystal*472]
[Intermediate element crystal*87]
【Mithril*519】
【Eternal Gold Ingot*26】
[Magic Stone*6]
…
Cao Xing thought to himself: “The reserves of mithril are relatively sufficient and can be used to create many things.”
“And Eternal Gold Ingots and Magic Pattern Stones are materials used to build hero altars, and they are quite different.”
Thinking of this, he had already made a decision, and then ordered: “Cao Yi, continue to upgrade the furnace tomorrow, and stop after it reaches level 15.”
“Then we will build our 10 elementary elemental arrow towers to the intermediate level.”
“Others are still going all out to collect resources just like today.”
The leader Cao Yi said respectfully: “I obey, Lord!”
At this time, Old Mel also came over, “Lord, there is good news!”
“Yuncai Yak’s mood has stabilized, and the first batch of hair can be collected tonight!”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes lit up instantly! …
