Chapter 156: Meeting and entering the Witch Forest
“Okay, I understand, Lieutenant Derank.” Cao Xing replied.
Delanke solemnly said: “Thank you again, Lord Cao Xing. Now we must seize the time to return to Yongshuang City and report this matter to the captain!”
Cao Xing reminded.
“Lieutenant Derank, before going to Yongshuang City, I suggest you go to Duolun Lake City first.”
There was doubt in the lieutenant’s eyes, “Duolun Lake City?”
“This city is a convenient way to Yongshuang City. Is there any problem?”
Cao Xing replied: “According to the news I received before, that group of hunters will hold a blood sacrifice ceremony in the near future. They will sacrifice all the creatures in Duolun Lake City.”
“I suspect that this has something to do with the Light Church plan you mentioned.”
Upon hearing the news, the lieutenant also realized the seriousness of the matter.
“That’s it! This is the ritual these safari men are talking about!”
He solemnly nodded and said: “I understand, Lord Cao Xing, I will go to Duolun Lake City as quickly as possible, and then report the matter to their city lord!”
Then, Lieutenant Derank and his team quickly disappeared into the snow.
Cao Xing nodded, the news had been brought, and he couldn’t control what happened next.
After all, both Duolun Lake City and Yongshuang City are too far for him.
Then, Cao Xing looked at the pile of corpses and ordered.
“Andrew, throw the moon fire spell and burn this pile of corpses.”
The druid nodded.
Then he directly entered the owl beast form, and a ball of flames smashed down.
Tsk!
After a while, blazing flames rose into the air, carrying thick black smoke.
…
“Let’s go on.”
After seeing the bodies of the safari all set on fire.
Cao Xing led his team and quickly left the village.
Then according to Qiu Yating’s coordinate position, move forward.
On the way, Cao Xing thought to himself: “This group of hunters is unlucky if they meet me.”
“In just a few days since I came to this world, I have already destroyed many of their camps, and now I have revealed their plan in the blizzard.”
“If these crazy cultists knew about it, they would probably want to kill me.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly moved slightly.
“No, with the huge power of this cult, maybe they have noticed me.”
“In other words, they have already noticed us survivors from another world!”
You know, the Church of Light is no better than the seven or eight level monsters in the Ice Nest.
That group of hunters was a headache for the Ice Crystal Kingdom.
The white-robed high priest has the strength of a fourth-level leader, and the higher-level red-robed bishop is probably even more powerful.
However, such a powerful being should not be able to personally deal with a little Karami like Cao Xing.
But this also reminded Cao Xing.
“It seems that in addition to defending the ice nest, I have to find a way to guard against this group of hunters.”
“Even if we are not exposed now, we still need to take precautions before they happen.”
“Lest things come to light one day, these guys lead people to attack my territory and catch me off guard.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing became more determined to quickly develop his territory and enhance his own strength.
…
The team moved on.
Ten minutes later, they had arrived near the coordinates.
Ahead, a forest covered with ice and snow loomed.
This forest is very huge and occupies a large area on the map.
After walking for another kilometer or two.
Cao Xing sat on the back of the mammoth and saw a group of human survivors appearing in the snow ahead.
That should be Qiu Yating and others.
This time, Cao Xing was delayed for almost an hour because he met the group of soldiers on the road.
So Qiu Yating and the others had arrived early.
now.
A small group of survivors, numbering more than a dozen, gathered together.
Their levels are almost between level 7 and 9.
He is young, has a young face, and is full of youthful atmosphere.
Several little girls gathered together, some of them wearing Xinzhou High School uniforms.
On the other side, several boys gathered together.
At this time, a survivor named Xu Haocheng had an impatient look on his face.
“Why hasn’t this Cao Xing come yet? He’s too proud, right?”
“Even if he is number one in the rankings, it is too much to keep so many of us waiting for so long!”
Hearing this, several other boys nodded.
“Indeed, it’s so icy and snowy that waiting for just a few minutes will make you numb. We’ve been waiting here for almost an hour.”
A boy wearing a green water ghost watch said with a contemptuous look on his face: “I think he did it on purpose.”
“This Cao Xing was probably at the bottom of society when he was at Blue Star.”
“It’s hard to be the number one in this world, so I just want to show off my power. I’ve seen many people like this.”
After hearing this, no one else dared to agree.
At this time, a young woman with delicate features and dignified temperament stood up and said, “Okay, don’t say anything. Boss Cao Xing has sent me a message and will be here soon.”
“You guys should talk about what you just said later. When Mr. Cao Xing comes, don’t say it in front of him. I won’t care about you if something goes wrong.”
The others nodded after hearing this.
Only Xu Haocun and the man with the green water ghost watch still had dissatisfied looks on their faces.
At this moment, a little girl wrapped in a cotton coat and with two ponytails pointed at the snow in the distance and said.
“Sister Yating, there seems to be a group of people there, can you see if it’s them?”
Qiu Yating frowned slightly, shook her head and said, “I’m not sure either. Let’s wait and see when they get closer.”
It didn’t take long.
They saw a group of figures approaching slowly.
Boom! Boom!
Heavy footsteps came.
Then, a behemoth five meters tall with two curved fangs suddenly appeared!
Next to this mammoth, there were also a group of creatures with terrifying auras.
At this moment, this group of survivors whose level was below level one were immediately overwhelmed by this group of terrifying creatures, and their faces turned pale.
Qiu Yating and a group of little girls hugged each other directly, looking at these creatures with frightened expressions.
Including the group of boys, they were so frightened that they dared not speak out.
Then, they saw a man’s sharp eyes sweeping over the mammoth’s back.
Everyone present, including the two boys who had strong opinions, subconsciously lowered their heads when they met his eyes.
Because they all have a feeling that the aura on this man’s body is very terrifying.
Can kill them all easily! Fortunately, the other party did not take action, but slowly spoke.
“I am Cao Xing, which of you is Qiu Yating?”
Upon hearing this, a girl with dignified appearance and outstanding temperament slowly stood up.
She replied with a trembling voice: “It’s…it’s me…Hello, Mr. Cao Xing…”
Cao Xing looked over intently.
Qiu Yating’s delicate face still had a look of fear.
He is tall, about 1.7 meters tall.
He was wearing a rabbit fur coat and a student uniform underneath.
I glanced at her information.
【Qiu Yating lv9】
Cao Xing nodded. Qiu Yating has reached level 9, which is quite fast.
It won’t be long before you can reach level 10 and then advance to a second-level creature.
Glancing at the others.
[Chen Huisu lv8], [Xu Haocheng lv9], [Han Juan lv7]…
The levels are all between 7 and 9, which is pretty good.
This also shows that most survivors have almost reached this level.
Cao Xing said: “Sorry, I just encountered something on the road and was delayed for a while.”
Upon hearing Cao Xing’s apology, the group of high school students immediately looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.
Because he was not a villain at all like the boy said, but had a very peaceful attitude towards them.
The fear on everyone’s faces gradually dissipated.
A gentle smile also appeared on Qiu Yating’s face.
“Boss Cao Xing, you’re welcome. We just arrived not long ago.”
Other survivors were also very curious about the legendary Cao Xing, and they all agreed one after another.
“Yes, Mr. Cao Xing is so humble.”
“It doesn’t matter if you wait a little longer to meet the legendary boss Cao Xing.”
Only the two boys stood there with depressed expressions.
For Cao Xing.
He was indeed at the bottom of Blue Star society before, but he also relied on his own hands to make ends meet.
Years of social experience have taught Cao Xing that the higher he jumps, the faster he will die, so there is no need to appear sharp.
In fact, most people at the bottom of this society, including most of the people at the bottom of society, will not immediately show off their power or power as those people say after they have power or wealth, but will first think about how to cover it up.
Cao Xing smiled, and then said straight to the point: “According to the information you have obtained, the Bingluan flower grows in this forest, right?”
“Yes.”
Qiu Yating replied softly.
Cao Xing nodded and continued to ask: “I think this forest is quite large. Do you know the specific location where the Bingluan flower grows?”
Qiu Yating’s face suddenly stiffened.
Then, she shook her head and said, “No…I don’t know…”
She seemed a little scared, afraid that Cao Xing would suddenly make a fuss about this.
When the other party is unhappy, this mammoth alone can kill them all!
After hearing this, Cao Xing fell into thinking.
As mentioned before, this forest is at least tens of kilometers deep and covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
In such a large area, trying to find the Bingluan flower is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.
However, if there are enough ice luan flowers growing in this area, the difficulty of searching will be much lower.
While Cao Xing was thinking, his men stood waiting silently, and the other survivors did not dare to speak.
Although Cao Xing seemed very peaceful, the momentum they invisibly exuded still put tremendous pressure on these survivors.
After a moment, Cao Xing nodded and said: “Okay, I understand.”
“Then, according to our agreement, we only need to take you into the forest, right?”
Even if there is no specific location, Cao Xing is ready to enter the forest to explore.
After all, he was also interested in the legend of the witch.
Qiu Yating breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded, “Yes… Boss Cao Xing.”
Cao Xing continued to ask: “I want to know, why don’t you go in by yourself, or what are the dangers in this witch forest if you forcefully enter?”
Qiu Yating nodded and said: “The villagers told me that there is a terrible monster in the Witch Forest. They will attack all creatures that enter…”
“They also said that even those powerful second-level knights would be swallowed by the monsters inside after entering.”
“So…I don’t know what the danger is inside…”
Speaking of this, Qiu Yating glanced at Cao Xing with a guilty conscience.
Cao Xing didn’t say anything more, but nodded again.
“Okay, I understand. Just follow me and I will take you in.”
After saying that, he controlled Dabai and walked straight into the forest.
Several melee units such as Bronn and Assam have begun to clear the way ahead.
The action is quite decisive and quick.
The group of survivors still stood there in confusion.
Qiu Yating said, “Let’s follow them.”
Boom! Boom!
Dabai carried Cao Xing and Liu Muxue and continued to move forward.
Behind them, these dozen high school students had strong curiosity in their eyes.
The group of little girls were discussing quietly in the back.
“Wow! I didn’t expect this to be Mr. Cao Xing. I have heard his name in the chat channel before, but this time I finally met him in person!”
“Yes, Mr. Cao Xing seems to be easy to talk to. Those people from the Sanyinghui have been saying that he is extremely vicious and murderous. I thought it was true…”
“That’s right, that’s right, what those people from the Sanyinghui said is really unbelievable!”
At this moment, a boy said in the chat channel: “Have you noticed that we can’t seem to see the level of Cao Xing and the strength of his recruiting creatures?”
Hearing this, other survivors also cast their gazes over.
However, what they got was a bunch of question marks.
A question mark whose name and level can’t even be seen! The little girls had expressions of surprise on their faces.
“It’s actually true, and I can’t see their information.”
“It’s so strange…I can’t even see the name!”
“Is it possible that Boss Cao Xing is already more than twenty levels ahead of us?”
Next to him, a boy shook his head and said, “It shouldn’t be that fast, right? Boss Cao Xing just reached level 10 four days ago.”
“It’s impossible to reach level 30 in just four days, right?”
“Yes, yes, this is simply impossible.”
The group of girls were chatting again and asked: “Then what is going on?”
The chat channel was silent and no one could answer the question.
Of course they don’t know what’s going on.
Because Cao Xing equipped all his men and himself with [Shadow Cloak].
As long as these survivors have not reached level 30, they will not be able to see through their own strength.
And this is exactly Cao Xing’s purpose.
To prevent these survivors from spreading their own levels and those of their subordinates indiscriminately.
However, although they could not see Cao Xing’s attributes, some of the survivors still used the system’s built-in camera function.
They kept taking pictures of Cao Xing’s back and the group of recruiting creatures around him.
At this time, the boys used team chat in private.
“Have you seen it? The woman on the back of the mammoth is really the goddess Muxue.”
“Of course I saw it! Goddess Muxue is so beautiful. I noticed her as soon as I came here.”
“I’m so envious! I’ve never heard of this Cao Xing before, but I didn’t expect to be able to sit with Goddess Muxue.”
“Goddess Muxue seems to be very close to Mr. Cao Xing. Do you think they have…”
Those boys quickly shook their heads and said: “Impossible! Goddess Muxue is not such a person!”
“Uuuuuuuuah…I won’t admit it!”
At this time, Xu Haocheng said: “By the way, You Shengwu, didn’t you say that you had dinner with Goddess Muxue before? Why does it look like she doesn’t recognize you?”
You Shengwu is the boy wearing the green water ghost watch.
Hearing this question, his face froze, and then he answered bravely: “Maybe it’s because Goddess Muxue saw that there are too many people here, I’m sorry.”
The other boys looked at Yu Shengwu with strange expressions.
As they chatted, the team arrived at the edge of the forest.
When he was about to step in, Cao Xing, who was sitting on the back of the mammoth, ordered: “Bron, switch to defensive posture.”
“Assam, Putana, follow Bronn.”
Hearing Cao Xing’s voice, the three of them replied at the same time: “Yes, Lord!”
After saying that, Bronn raised his shield and walked at the front of the team.
Assam and Putana followed him on his left and right sides.
As everyone gradually went deeper into the forest.
The temperature also began to gradually drop.
He glanced at the temperature above his head.
【-49℃】
【-50℃】
【-51℃】
They looked around and found that they seemed to have entered a dreamy white forest.
The dense branches and leaves above the head were frozen into frost, breaking like glass.
This forest is decorated like a crystal forest in a fairy tale, full of bleak beauty.
The branches and fallen leaves on the ground were also frozen stiff.
When you step on it, it will make a cracking sound.
Everyone remained vigilant.
After going almost two hundred meters deep.
They were not attacked by any monsters.
In the team behind him, Xu Haocun said in the team channel: “Squad Leader Yating, did you make something wrong?”
“Is it possible that there are actually no monsters in this forest at all? The indigenous people made this place so scary that we didn’t even dare to come in.”
Another Yu Shengwu also echoed: “Yes, in fact, we can enter the forest without asking for help from Cao Xing…”
While they were speaking, one of the trees, which looked ordinary, suddenly moved.
“Whoosh!”
A branch made a sound of breaking through the air and attacked a boy at the back of the team at an extremely terrifying speed.
At this moment, the boy felt a terrifying sense of crisis! It has been almost ten days since they came to this world. The cruel experiences during this period have also given them a good sense of combat.
His body subconsciously moved half of his position, and then there was a stabbing pain in his shoulder! “puff!”
The sound of flesh penetration came…
