Cao Xing’s level soared directly to level 17, and he was very excited!
At this moment, he found that there were only two drops of Yuen Ninghua Dew left in his backpack.
“Damn, I’m almost out of magic!”
The last two drops were for emergency use and he couldn’t use them all.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing looked at the others on the battlefield.
In addition to Cao Xing, Assam, Andrew and others also slowed down their attacks.
After all, they are not robots and cannot fight at high intensity for hours on end.
Moreover, even robots suffer from metal fatigue.
Not only that, as more and more Ice Nest monsters appeared, Cao Xing’s men could no longer keep everything at bay.
Some ice nest monsters have already rushed to the city wall and started attacking the wall.
The elemental arrow tower is constantly shooting arrows to attack.
Cao Xing knew that part of the ice nest must be destroyed, otherwise in a few hours, thousands of monsters would attack at the same time every minute.
He was just about to rush back and kill the ice nest monster under the city wall first.
But he saw a figure over two meters tall descending from the sky with a giant ax on his back!
“Boom!”
She slashed down with her axe, directly killing five or six ice nest monsters! It was the new member Putana who also joined the fight.
This woman has the strength of a level 17 elite, which is still very strong.
Cao Xing glanced at her and nodded.
“Sarah, go blow up those ice nests.”
“Andrew, switch to bear form and hold on for a while.”
“Dabai, you come after me too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xing led his men and rushed to the place where hundreds of ice nests had fallen.
Soon, they launched an attack on these ice nests.
“Bang! Bang bang!”
The ice nest has a durability of 2000 points.
Cao Xing had to throw out two or three balls of evil fire to destroy an ice nest. At the same time, he had to take care of the attacks of the ice nest monsters, which seemed a bit confusing.
However, as Baymax and Sara join the battlefield.
They destroyed these ice nests in pieces! Bang! Bang bang!
Each ice nest was directly destroyed by Cao Xing.
The number of ice brood monsters hatched in each wave also gradually decreases.
The pressure on Assam and others suddenly eased a lot.
The battle begins in the fourth hour.
The group of Ascalon soldiers had almost recovered their strength after resting for an hour.
They rushed out again and joined the fight.
This battle lasted from nightfall until late at night.
…
at the same time.
Near Cao Xing’s territory, other survivors realized something after no ice nests fell in the previous hour.
They also saw announcements in the chat channel and alerts from other survivors.
Feeling lucky in his heart, he quickly dispatched the polar men to go out to mine resources in the dark.
Or they go out to kill monsters and replenish supplies in the territory.
Although the night temperature is very low, they know that this is a rare opportunity.
…
Late night.
As the last ice nest was destroyed by Cao Xing.
His and Liu Muxue’s levels have been raised one level again, and both of them have reached level 18.
Including other territory members.
Those Ascalon soldiers have all reached level 10, which is the full level of the first level.
Assam, Andrew, Renice and other members of the first tier have all reached level 20, which is the full level of the second level.
Hilda, Bronn and the others have also reached levels 16 or 7.
Although the battle this time was very tiring.
But there is no doubt that the harvest is also quite terrifying.
And the most important thing is that Cao Xing saw materials all over the floor.
Those are all ice dragon marks and glacier shards!
“Get rich, get rich!”
“I wonder how much material can be harvested from this wave!”
Cao Xing suppressed the joy in his heart, and then withdrew from the demon transformation state.
“Everyone, tonight’s battle is over.”
“You are all the most heroic warriors!”
Hearing this, Assam was the first to respond: “You are also the most versatile lord I have ever seen. Not only do you have strong command capabilities, but you also have strong combat power!”
The other soldiers responded one after another, “Yes, you are a great lord, and we are proud of you!”
Cao Xing smiled and said, “Our logistics staff have prepared post-war meals. Now you all go back to the cafeteria to eat, replenish your strength, and then go back to rest.”
“This can be left to others.”
After hearing this, Assam and others nodded, and then returned to the territory.
They were indeed hungry too.
Then, Cao Xing looked at the group of polar people.
“Da Zhuang, bring people over to clean up the battlefield and collect everything!”
“Okay, Lord Lord, I’ll be here right away!”
After hearing the order, Da Zhuang slid down from the city wall, and then led a group of polar men to start cleaning the battlefield.
It didn’t take long for the battlefield within one or two kilometers of the territory to be cleaned up.
A group of polar people piled a large amount of ice dragon marks, glacier fragments and other materials into hills, waiting for Cao Xing to collect them.
Cao Xing walked over and collected all the materials on the ground.
System prompts keep appearing.
Then, Cao Xing took a look at this harvest.
[Obtain: Ice Dragon Mark*43167]
[Obtain: Glacier Splinter*23731]
There are more than 40,000 ice dragon marks!
There was a look of ecstasy in Cao Xing’s eyes.
“It is indeed a double explosion rate! This wave of ice dragon marks alone is enough for me to exchange for more than forty hearts of power.”
“If we do it again, we can even exchange it for a gold treasure chest!”
In the gold treasure chest, there is a high probability that gold equipment exclusive to the Ice Dragon series will be found.
Cao Xing even wanted to do it again on the spot.
Of course, in such a high-intensity battle, he would have to take some time off.
Moreover, Cao Xing doesn’t have many [Ice Dragon Horns] left.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Muxue next to him.
At this moment, she had been fighting for several hours and had killed countless ice nest monsters, and her whole body was filled with a bit of heroism.
Plus her stunning facial features and knightly outfit.
There’s something quite heroic about it.
Cao Xing said: “Let’s go, Mu Xue, let’s go back to sleep.”
When Liu Muxue heard Cao Xing’s voice, she also withdrew from that fighting state.
“Yeah, okay.”
Then, the two returned to the lord’s cabin together.
In the familiar room, waves of warmth wafted up.
Duane, the polar man, has installed magic water purification devices in every room.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue happily took a hot bath.
Then, the two fell asleep hugging each other.
Nothing much happened in the second half of the night.
Because of the high-intensity fighting in the first half of the night, everyone felt exhausted.
Even with the beauty in his arms, he seemed helpless.
…
…
The next day…
Cao Xing hugged Liu Muxue, who was fragrant and soft, and slept until about eight o’clock the next day! A system prompt appears.
[Survivors, please note that you have passed the second day of the official period, and the level of the ice nest monster has been slightly improved. 】
[Weather forecast: In the evening, there will be moderate snow in the blustery snowfield. Please work together to plan your travel time. 】
…
They both opened their eyes at the same time, with smiles on their faces.
After a night’s rest, they had swept away the fatigue from last night and became full of energy.
After a simple wash.
Cao Xing took Liu Muxue out of the lord’s cabin.
At this moment, most of the people in the territory have already started working.
Some are laying masonry floors, and some are repairing the city walls that were attacked by ice brood monsters yesterday.
As for the leader Cao Yi, he has already started to lead people to repair the railway tracks outside the territory.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad. These days, the people in the territory have adapted to the pace of development of the territory.”
“Now they know what to do today without my instructions.”
At this time, Liu Muxue whispered: “Axing, are we going to continue to stay in the territory today?”
Cao Xing shook his head and said: “We have to go out today. We are going to the Witch Forest to look for the Ice Luan Flower.”
“Bingluan flower?”
Cao Xing chuckled and said, “Yes, this is a magical plant, which is more important to me.”
Liu Muxue nodded lightly.
The dwarf Harold took the initiative to come over.
He looked at Cao Xing and said respectfully: “Lord, please start arranging work for me.”
“My wife and I can both see that this is a strong and equal territory, and we want to contribute our own strength to the development of the territory!”
Cao Xing looked at Harold’s loyalty and found that it had reached 76.
It seems that last night’s battle should have increased Harold’s loyalty.
“Mr. Harold, thank you for your help. I believe that with your joining, our territory will be more prosperous!”
Harold suddenly straightened up.
Then, Cao Xing took the dwarf blacksmith to the blacksmith shop.
The current blacksmith shop has been upgraded to level 3 and can even produce refined iron equipment in batches, that is, blue quality equipment.
But he didn’t have blue equipment drawings, so he could only make green equipment for the soldiers to wear.
However, although it is only green equipment, it is much better than the whiteboard equipment worn by those soldiers.
Then, Cao Xing took out a large number of wolf bones, wild boar bones, and wolf teeth.
Wow! So many bones were piled directly on the ground to form a hill.
“Mr. Harold, use these materials to create new armor for our soldiers.”
“As for these fangs, see if they can be sharpened and made into arrows or something. The arrow reserves in our territory are too few.”
Hearing this, Harold immediately clapped his chest and promised: “No problem, Lord, these equipments are just a piece of cake for me. I can complete them all before dark.”
“By the way, Lord, just call me Harold.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing’s face showed a look of joy. This efficiency is really high. He is worthy of being an intermediate forging proficient! Then, Cao Xing took out the hundreds of large teeth of the Ice and Snow Bomb Rabbit that he had obtained last time.
“Harold, what do you think this can be used for?”
Harold picked up the shiny big teeth, thought for a moment and said: “This kind of rabbit teeth is quite hard. The common method is to sharpen it and make it into a spear head, but…”
“But my suggestion is to piece them together and make a set of armor.”
Cao Xing was stunned after hearing this, “Oh? This can also be made into armor?”
After all, the systematic introduction of this material only said that it could be used to make gun heads or sold to merchants.
Harold nodded, “Yes, using the manufacturing process of fish scale armor and then improving it, the defense should be good.”
Cao Xing suddenly nodded.
Indeed, he had some preconceptions and thought that what the system said was absolute.
Since the update, the world seems more realistic.
For many things, you can jump out of the system framework and use your imagination to develop more functions.
Cao Xing was inspired a lot by Harold.
Then, he took out the [Sharp Hook Claw (Green)] and [Sharp Hook Claw (Blue)] that exploded from the Soul Eater.
Then asked, “Harold, what can these two things be used for?”
Harold held the Soul Eater’s hook, looked at it carefully and said, “Back to Lord, this hook has been finalized, and its normal function is to make a rope hook or make a trap.
“But before, I saw a method in a book that can improve the conventional rope hook and make it into a projectile hook.”
“Ejection hook?”
Harold nodded and said: “Yes, when used, it can be ejected instantly, hooking enemies more than ten meters away, or even dozens of meters away, and controlling them.”
Cao Xing’s eyes lit up instantly.
Go ahead, this is a good thing!
If the soldiers each have one, and the hook rope is strong enough, they can even forcibly control some large beasts.
He said in surprise: “Harold, you are really a wise blacksmith.”
Harold shook his head and said humbly: “Practice brings true knowledge, Lord, I am just talking on paper.”
“Moreover, to ensure the toughness of the hook, some tough and lightweight materials are needed to replace the rope.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Okay, I understand. I’ll keep an eye on it when I go out today.”
Then, he took out the [Large Hook Claw (Purple)] exploded by the Soul Eater leader.
“Harold, what can this do?”
Look at this huge hook that is over seventy centimeters long.
There was also a slight look of surprise in Harold’s eyes.
“It’s such a hard material, and it’s also very sharp. Based on the sharpness of this material, as long as the force is enough, it can even easily cut through the skin of a third-level creature!”
Hearing this, Cao Xing also showed admiration in his eyes.
Harold was right. These large hooks were erupted from the third-order boss monsters. They were very sharp and hard.
Harold seemed to be thinking about what to make with these hooks.
After a moment, Harold said: “My idea is to make it into a sickle!”
“sickle?”
“Yes.”
Harold nodded and said: “Using the sharpness of this hook, you can create a very lethal scythe.”
“Using it to those warriors can greatly increase their destructive capabilities on the battlefield.”
Cao Xing seemed to have thought of this.
The shape of this large hook indeed resembles a sickle.
There are only eight large hooks in his hands.
Barely enough to form a scythe squad.
Cao Xing nodded and said, “Then do as you say, Harold.”
“Okay, Lord.”
Harold continued: “However, this kind of high-grade material takes a long time to create, and you may only be able to create three or four in a day.”
Cao Xing nodded, “It’s okay Harold, take your time.”
“When you are tired from forging, you can take a rest, read a book or something. It is also important to balance work and rest.”
Hearing this, Harold also had a gentle smile in his eyes, “Thank you for your concern, you are really a considerate lord.”
Cao Xing patted his shoulder and walked out of the blacksmith shop.
…
After arriving outside the territory, Cao Xing shouted again, “Combatants, assemble!”
Hear Cao Xing’s order.
More than a hundred people gathered in large numbers.
Assam and others, as well as the 102 Ascalon soldiers, were all looking at Cao Xing with firm eyes, waiting for his orders at any time.
Cao Xing nodded, and then said: “Today, we are going out for a trip.”
“Work in the territory continues as usual.”
“Assam, Andrew, Bronn, Hilda, Rhaenys, Sarah, Blot…”
“Seven of you are going out with me today.”
The seven people named by Cao Xing are all the backbone of his territory.
The people whose names he called had joyful looks in their eyes, and they seemed to feel honored to go out to fight with Cao Xing.
Especially Black Smoke Shaman Brot, who was a little resentful for not taking him with him when he went out a few days ago.
But now, there was only excitement in Blot’s eyes.
He bowed slightly and said respectfully: “It is my honor to fight for you, my dear lord.”
Of course, only the arrogant Hilda dismissed it.
Cao Xing nodded and looked at the two centaurs.
“Kantel, Kandar, your mission today is to each lead twenty Ascalon soldiers in two waves to explore resource points or monsters ten kilometers around our territory.”
“If you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, remember to escape immediately.”
“If you kill some wild beasts, take their bodies back to the territory and wait for me to deal with them when I come back.”
The two centaurs said respectfully: “I obey, my powerful lord!”
“We will complete the tasks you assigned!”
Then Cao Xing looked at Ilena again.
“Elena, today you have to lead twenty Ascalon soldiers, as well as Blitz and the others, to protect our territorial citizens in the wild to mine resources and not allow them to be attacked by other beasts or ice nest monsters.”
The beautiful snake girl spat out the letter and said with a look of resentment in her eyes: “Lord, can’t you take Elena out to fight with you?”
Cao Xing shook his head and said: “There are enough manpower outside. In comparison, the territory needs you more, so that you can better help me. Do you understand Ilena?”
Hearing this, Ilena suddenly smiled.
She raised the trident in her hand and said, “Okay~ Dear Lord, I will protect those polar people.”
Cao Xing nodded, and then looked at the archer next to him.
“Little Elisa.”
Hearing Cao Xing’s voice, Elisa, who was wandering in her mind, suddenly became excited.
“Lord! Elisa didn’t steal the milk from the Yuncai Yak. The milk slipped into my mouth at night!”
“Uuuuuuuu, don’t punish Elisa…”
Cao Xing rolled his eyes. He didn’t even ask, so Elisa took the initiative.
Speaking of which, if she hadn’t told him, Cao Xing wouldn’t have known that this little girl actually went to drink milk at night.
Cao Xing said speechlessly: “Okay, I won’t hold you accountable for secretly drinking milk.”
“Today you take your own archer team and 40 other Ascalon warriors, and then I will give Ellie and Sylvia to your command.”
“Your mission is to kill the Ice Nest monsters that fall near the territory, and don’t let any monsters attack our city walls.”
“If you do well, I will give you a reward when you come back tonight.”
Elisa’s eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the reward.
She said excitedly: “Wow! Is there another reward? Great!”
“Lord, please rest assured, Elisa promises to complete the mission and will not let an ice nest monster come to the foot of our city wall!”
Cao Xing also laughed, and then said: “Okay, let’s take action and do what I say.”
More than a hundred people dispersed in several waves.
At this time, Xia Yanni took Tong Chuchu aside and said softly: “Sir…the furs you gave me have been processed. Is there anything else we need to do?”
Tong Chuchu took Volibear and said excitedly: “Brother, please give us tasks too!”
Cao Xing shook his head with a gentle smile on his face.
“Thank you for your hard work. I know you have been staying up late these past few days to make that batch of furs. Now you can go and have a rest.”
