Cao Xing is very satisfied with Braun’s attributes.
The bald Bron also walked over happily.
Cao Xing praised, “Bron, that’s good.”
Braun held up his shield and smiled: “With the glory of the lord protecting me, Braun will definitely not fail.”
Cao Xing nodded.
So far, the strength of his men has improved significantly.
Now, we just need to wait for news from Andrew’s side.
Andrew had failed once before.
This time, we can’t fail again, right?
After a few seconds, the aura on Andrew gradually became stronger. In addition to the beast-like aura, he also had a wise temperament.
And Cao Xing also realized that he might have succeeded in breaking through!
Sure enough, the system prompt appeared immediately.
[Your territory member: Andrew successfully advanced to the boss-level creature, his basic attributes increased by 30%, and he has learned a new skill: Moonkin form]
[Moonkin form: Andrew transforms into a moonkin form. The armor is increased by 20%, the spirit is increased by 30%, and he additionally masters the skills ‘Starfire’, ‘Moonfire’ and ‘Astral Communication’. The moonkin form lasts for 120 seconds and cools down. Time is five minutes. 】
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing’s eyes showed strong joy.
“It has a new form, and it seems to be a magic form.”
Cao Xing couldn’t wait and took a look at Andrew’s three newly acquired skills.
[Star Fire Technique: Gather the power of the starry sky and smash down a star, causing 154% magic damage to a single enemy. The cooldown time is 4 seconds. 】
[Moonfire: Communicate with the power of the moon well, drop a ball of flame, causing 118% magic damage to enemies within the range, cooldown time is 5 seconds]
[Astral Communication: Communicate with the power of the astral realm. Within 20 seconds, the casting speed will be increased by 50%, and the cooling time of ‘Starfire’ and ‘Moonfire’ will be reduced by 50%, and the cooling time will be 180 seconds. 】
……
After reading the skill introduction, Cao Xing’s pupils suddenly shrank.
“Damn it! What a powerful skill!”
Obviously, Starfire and Moonfire are both very powerful.
One single target, one group attack, and the cooldown time is very short.
In addition, [Astral Communication] can directly reduce the CD by 50%, and the two skills can be used almost without any interval.
And what’s the most important thing? The most important thing is that the skill [Astral Communication] will most likely be affected by Cao Xing’s [Eternal Power] talent and become a permanent state.
In other words, as long as he is in the wildcat form, Andrew can maintain [astral communication] throughout the entire process! Transform directly into a bomber!
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, “Okay, okay, Andrew’s strength has also skyrocketed!”
And in this way, he can also switch between melee and remote combat, making him quite versatile.
Cao Xing checked Andrew’s attributes.
[Druid of Icefield: Andrew]
[Race: Druid]
[Level: Level 17 32/70000 (second-order boss-level creature)]
[Detailed attributes: click to view]
…
“Very good! With more than 5,000 HP and more than 200 armor, it’s really tough and capable!”
Cao Xing was very satisfied.
Although this battle is very difficult, the rewards are also great.
Everyone has improved a lot.
Cao Xing also has greater confidence in the next three temples.
At this time, Reneshui reported: “Lord, the shield of the magic gate has been lifted. You can now insert the stone talisman to open the gate.”
Cao Xing nodded.
Then he came to the gate and put the stone talisman into the groove.
“Crunch! Crunch!”
The sound of axles turning was heard.
A system prompt appears.
[The gate to the Shield Temple is opening…]
Boom! Under the gaze of everyone.
The huge stone door in front of me slowly lifted up.
Then, a wide hall appeared in front of them.
There are blue flags on both sides of the hall, with the seal of the Kingdom of Ascalon printed on them.
There is also a humanoid statue about five meters high in the middle. It holds a giant shield with one hand in a defensive posture.
However, the statue has collapsed.
Apart from these, the entire hall was littered with dusty coffins.
After a cursory glance, there were at least one or two hundred of them.
“Is there… so many? Are there any undead from Ascalon in here?”
There was a slight look of surprise in Cao Xing’s eyes.
But then he thought, the more coffins there were, the more burial objects he could find.
Although not every coffin will have bags for funerary objects, but with such a large number, at least dozens of bags for funerary objects can be found, right? Thinking of this, Cao Xing gradually became excited!
“Damn it! Now I’m rich!”
Under Renice’s confused gaze, Cao Xing rushed forward impatiently.
Then use stone talismans to open all the seals on these coffins.
“Crunch! Crunch!”
The sound of stone slabs being pushed was endless.
After a while, all the more than a hundred coffins inside were opened.
As Cao Xing expected, an Ascalon undead appeared in each coffin.
More than a hundred undead gathered together, and the cold aura on their bodies caused the temperature of the entire Shield Temple to drop sharply.
Cao Xing was wearing a wolf fur coat and was shivering from the cold.
And Bron, whose upper body was naked, was shivering from the cold.
The guy’s teeth were chattering and he said, “Gods, this is much colder than my hometown…”
Cao Xing looked at the temperature above his head.
【-67℃】
Good guy, it’s almost -70℃, no wonder it’s so cold!
At this moment, an undead officer whose aura looked similar to that of Lieutenant Calhan outside was looking at Cao Xing and others on the field.
Then he drew his weapon and asked vigilantly: “Who are you? Why did you break into our underground palace in Ascalon and open our seal?”
“Tell us your identities, otherwise we will treat you as intruders and kill you without mercy!”
The other undead also drew their weapons and said in a cold voice: “Kill without mercy!”
Seeing these undead beings ready to attack at any time, Cao Xing was speechless.
“Rhynys, explain to them.”
As an Ascalonian, he naturally noticed Rhaenys.
This was also the main reason why they did not attack Cao Xing and others immediately.
Rhaenys spoke slowly, and then explained to them what happened in the underground palace and their purpose.
As Rhaenys explained, these undead gradually understood the cause and effect.
They looked at Cao Xing with strange expressions on their faces.
I originally thought it was an intruder.
Now it seems that he is here to save them.
The undead officer floated over and said: “I am the captain of the Ascalon Guard: Farah Carbo. On behalf of all the Ascalon undead, thank you for your help!”
After saying that, the entire Shield Temple and more than a hundred undead bowed to Cao Xing.
A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth.
Although these undead are not easy to talk to, at least they have clear grudges.
Express gratitude to those who are kind, and kill intruders without hesitation.
Cao Xing nodded, “Then Sarah has told you the basic situation, we don’t have much time.”
“Without further ado, you should leave here as soon as possible and meet Calhan outside.”
Listening to Cao Xing’s concerned tone, the eyes of these Ascalon undead were moved.
Including the guard captain, he also gave Cao Xing a military salute again.
However, in fact, Cao Xing wanted to urge these undead to leave here quickly.
Otherwise, if this group of undead were to remember that there were still their burial objects in the coffin, and then take them all away, he would suffer a big loss! The undead officer said solemnly: “Then, we will leave first. This human friend, I wish you good luck!”
“May the sunken glory shine upon you!”
After saying that, he led the undead army, quickly passed through the wall, and left here.
A system prompt appears.
[Task progress has been updated. 】
[Go to the four major temples, the Shield Temple mission has been completed, current progress: 1/4]
Cao Xing nodded secretly, and then said to his subordinates: “Search and collect all the relics of the deceased.”
Assam and others obeyed the order and began to carefully search the more than one hundred coffins, as well as every corner of the entire temple.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, went straight to the collapsed statue.
Because he vaguely saw a white shadow next to the statue.
Taking a closer look, a silver-white treasure chest also covered with thick dust appeared on the ruins.
Cao Xing was delighted, “Sure enough, there is a treasure chest hidden here, and it’s a silver treasure chest!”
A system prompt appears.
[An unlocked silver treasure chest*1 was found, should it be opened?]
“yes.”
[Open successfully. 】
[Obtain the construction drawing of the magic water storage device*1]
[Get mercenary light armor (blue)*1]
[Obtain intermediate element crystal*3]
[Get medical kit*2]
[Obtain small resource pack*5]
…
“Oh? Got some light armor?”
Cao Xing looked at the attributes.
[Mercenary Light Armor (Blue) lv10]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Armor: 31~37]
[With special effects ①: Agility +5, Constitution +5]
[With special effects ②: Go into battle lightly (attack speed increased by 10%, there is a 50% chance to increase the attack speed by an additional 20% when attacking, the effect lasts for 60 seconds)]
[With special effect ③: Mercenary Rules (when attacked, there is a 30% chance to reduce the damage of this attack by 20%, and increase one’s own attack power by 5%, the effect lasts for 60 seconds)]
…
“As a blue piece of equipment, its attributes are pretty good.”
Cao Xing threw it directly to Liu Muxue, who happened to be wearing green plate armor now.
Liu Muxue took it, then looked at Cao Xing and smiled.
Without saying anything else, she put on the equipment directly.
In an instant, her proud chest became even larger.
In addition, Liu Muxue was wearing a wolf fur coat, making her look graceful and luxurious.
At the same time, Assam and others had already searched all the coffins in the temple.
Then they gave all the funerary objects they harvested to Cao Xing.
[Obtain: Ascalon funerary bag*34]
[Obtain: Captain Ascalon’s funerary bag*3]
…
“Wuhu! More than thirty bags at once!”
Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised!
“In other words, I can directly exchange two ancient treasure chests for them!”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn’t help but become even more excited.
Then, he walked out of the Shield Temple with the recruited creatures.
Cao Xing ordered: “Let’s go to the next location, the Holy Sword Temple.”
After returning to the hall outside the Shield Temple, several passage entrances appeared in front of Cao Xing and others.
Ji Xinyue also quickly took out a map and began to study the route to the Holy Sword Temple.
She whispered: “Boss Cao Xing, this time we take the passage on the right.”
Cao Xing nodded.
Bron, who had become an elite creature, was very excited at this moment. He held up his shield and rushed forward.
After the strength of all members improved, Cao Xing also felt more confident.
Soon, they entered a corridor again.
Cao Xing vaguely saw that there seemed to be several more unopened coffins ahead.
Before he could go over and open the coffin, six or seven soul-eating monsters appeared.
After seeing the humans in the passage, they immediately rushed over!
Cao Xing raised his hand and ordered: “Go up, fight head-on!”
There are just a few ordinary soul-eating monsters, and there is no need to use any tactics.
Bronn opened his mouth, showing two rows of big white teeth and smiled: “My mother always said, your steps should be as steady as an iceberg, and your attacks should be as fierce as throwing icebergs!”
“Now, Bronn strikes!”
“Boom!”
The big man held up his shield and charged forward fiercely.
The huge impact actually knocked the three Soul-Eating Monsters several meters away!
“Hiss! Hiss!”
The Soul Eaters were so angry that they all waved their claws and attacked Braum crazily.
Click! Click! After the three layers of the holy shield were broken, the Soul Eater’s claws fell on Braum’s shield!
【-174】
【-185】
【-193】
After Braum advances, his defense increases again.
He blew the beard at the corner of his mouth and said proudly: “Aha! You didn’t expect that I have double protection!”
However, he didn’t get arrogant for long.
A soul-eating monster suddenly rushed over, and the huge force directly knocked Bron away.
“My God, these soul-eating monsters are so powerful!”
Seeing that Braun was about to be besieged by five other Soul Eaters, a strong sense of crisis enveloped Braum’s heart.
At this moment, the big bald man shouted: “Lord, save me!”
Cao Xing was speechless.
Braum just broke through the elite and made himself seem invincible.
“Hilda, save him.”
“Hey! I’m looking at the useless bald head!”
Hilda also sneered, but she still quickly sprayed out a spider web.
“puff!”
A Soul Eater that was about to pounce on Bronn was immediately held in place by the spider web.
Cao Xing ordered: “Others come up too.”
The next moment, Assam had already rushed out with his long sword.
Andrew, on the other hand, directly entered the owl beast form.
His body gradually grew taller, growing from nearly two meters to two and a half meters tall.
At the same time, thick feathers grew all over the body, and the facial features also changed into those of birds.
Not only that, a pair of antlers nearly half a meter long sprouted from his head.
[Member of your territory: Andrew casts the skill [Owl Beast Form], affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this skill has become a permanent state. ] (Note: Status skills, after being blessed by the power of eternity, can exit and enter at any time, and there is no subsequent cooling time.) The next moment, Andrew slowly raised his hands, and then whispered: “The power of the starry sky,”
“Starfire.”
The words fell.
In this dim underground palace, bursts of starlight actually lit up, and a shooting star actually appeared above the head.
Then, this one suddenly appeared on top of the Soul Eater’s head, and then slammed down.
“Bang!”
【-674】
A damage figure appeared, in which the Soul Eater’s health dropped instantly.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing felt happy, “This damage is really high!”
Although Spark is a single-target spell, its cooldown time is only 4 seconds, and it can be greatly reduced by [Astral Communication].
Cao Xing shouted, “Andrew, use the astral communication to have a look.”
Even the [Owl Beast Form] can be blessed by the eternal power.
Therefore, Cao Xing is even more impatient to verify whether Andrew’s [Astral Communication] can be blessed by [Eternal Power].
Andrew nodded, and then sang: “The vast and great star realm, I pray devoutly here to build a communication bridge with you…”
The next moment, the owl beast feathers on Andrew’s body moved automatically.
It was as if a powerful force was blessing him.
At the same time, the system prompt appears.
[Members of your territory: Andrew casts [Astral Communication], blessed by the talent [Eternal Power], this skill has become permanent. ]…
Cao Xing suddenly felt happy, “Sure enough!”
“Great, this way, Andrew can use the astral communication unlimitedly!”
At this moment, Andrew also realized that the temporary channel between himself and the vast star world was actually blessed by a powerful force and became a permanent existence!
He raised his hand and sighed: “It can even affect the mysterious star realm. The Lord’s power is really boundless…”
At the same time, Andrew felt endless power pouring into his body, and his casting speed increased significantly.
Raising his hand, the power of the starry sky surged, and the ‘Star Fire Technique’ suddenly crashed down.
Bang! 【-654】
The starlight shines brightly, splashing a damage number.
Before the starlight disappeared, a crescent moon appeared above its head.
“Boom!”
A ball of flame fell.
【-443】
【-473】
【-412】
【-421】
Patches of burning damage appear.
Before the group of soul-eating monsters could react.
Andrew raised his hand, and another ‘Starfire Technique’ fell.
“Bang!”
“Boom!”
‘Star Fire Technique’ and ‘Moon Fire Technique’ fell almost without interruption, bombarding them continuously.
At this moment, the battlefield was completely shrouded in starlight and flames, and the health of the six Soul Eaters dropped rapidly.
This battle seems to have become Andrew’s personal show.
Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised, “It’s so fierce!”
“This astral communication directly allowed Andrew to complete a qualitative change, and his output ability is comparable to that of leader-level creatures of the same level!”
Liu Muxue and Ji Xinyue also looked at Andrew who turned into a wildcat with surprise on their faces!
Moreover, not only Andrew’s strength has skyrocketed, but the strength of other members has also seen a significant improvement.
“call out!”
An arrow shot out! Rhaenys and Sarah attacked simultaneously.
【-2483】
【-677！】
Their damage has been significantly improved.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
He also activated the condensed [Ice Arrow Rain].
At this moment, a ‘ding’ sound suddenly appeared in his ear.
[This casting successfully triggered the equipment special effect: Shadow of Snow Mountain. 】
Cao Xing was delighted, “It actually triggered the special effect of the shadow of the snow mountain.”
The rain of ice arrows changed from one to two, and the dense ice arrows suddenly fell like a heavy rain.
Two minutes later, the battle was over.
These six Soul Eaters once again contributed a lot of experience to everyone.
Compared with the previous battles, this time it can be said to be very easy.
And Cao Xing also picked up all the materials that fell from them.
[Get sharp hook (green)*12]
[Obtain evil spirit dust (white)*17]
[Get Intermediate Magic Book*2]
[Get Intermediate Book of Chaos*1]
…
Then, Cao Xing came to the coffins and unlocked the seals.
Four Ascalonian undead emerged from it.
As soon as they came out, they also looked at Cao Xing with hostile eyes.
Rhaenys, on the other hand, stepped forward to explain to them skillfully.
The four Ascalon undead were silent for a moment, bowed to everyone, and then left the underground palace.
[Successfully rescued the undead of Ascalon*4, the mission progress has been updated. 】
[Rescuing the lone undead of Ascalon, number rescued: 16]
…
“Oh? Have you rescued 16 additional undead?”
“I don’t know what extra reward that guy Calhan will give me.”
Cao Xing thought with anticipation.
Then, he found three bags of funerary objects among the coffins.
He nodded with satisfaction.
Cao Xing led the team straight to the area where the second temple, [Holy Sword Temple] was located.
Along the way, there were three more battles.
They finally arrived at the target area.
And when Cao Xing saw the scene at the [Holy Sword Temple], his heart suddenly sank.
Because the [Advanced Magic Gate] blocking the invasion of soul-eating monsters has been breached.
A gap two to three meters wide appeared, and a large number of Soul Eaters had penetrated into the temple.
Cao Xing was instantly shocked: “It’s broken. The Ascalon undead inside have been eaten, right?”
“Then I can’t complete my fucking mission!”
Thinking of this, he quickly ordered: “Let’s go and take a look!”
