Chapter 190 Hog Village asks for help, action plan
After reading the properties of [Polar Man’s Cabin], Cao Xing praised it.
“Not bad, not bad, we can summon 12 polar people to work again!”
“However, if you want to continue upgrading, you must first upgrade the lord’s cabin to the lord’s mansion.”
And Cao Xing took a look at the upgrade conditions of the lord’s cabin.
[Lord’s Hut: Level 5]
[Armor: 150]
[Durability value: 4000]
[Current capacity: 342/606]
[Required conditions for the next level: level 11 furnace, wood*1000, stone*600, iron*300, refined iron*100, mithril*10, intermediate element crystal*20]
[Time required for upgrade: 95 hours and 51 minutes]
[Number of people working at the same time: 0/4]
…
Since the bonfire is the core of this territory, the prerequisites for many buildings require that the bonfire level reaches the required level.
However, Cao Xing had already upgraded the bonfire to level 15 and turned it into a furnace.
So there is no concern at all in this regard.
“Yes, if the lord’s hut is upgraded to another level, it can become the lord’s mansion, but it will take a long time to upgrade.”
“Now is the time to recruit another group of polar people to speed up the work.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing came directly to the [Polar Man’s Cabin] and clicked on recruitment.
A system prompt appears.
[Do you want to consume food*600 and recruit polar people*12? 】
…
The food required to recruit polar people can be easily afforded by most of the current survivors.
However, the recruitment requirements are not difficult. What is difficult is how to provide food for these polar people.
After all, a polar person still needs to eat 20 meals a day.
Of course, Cao Xing just obtained tens of thousands of kilograms of food last night, so it can be said that he has sufficient reserves.
Not to mention 12 polar people, even 120 more polar people will not be a problem at all.
He just clicked ‘yes’.
At the same time, the polar cabin began to shake.
Boom! Then, 12 polar people with different appearances wearing gray cotton clothes and hats emerged from inside.
“Dear Lord!”
“Polar Man: Vivek/Denish/Danilo… reporting to you.”
Although they were short in stature, they stood very upright, like a group of new recruits waiting for inspection by their superiors.
At the same time, the eyes of these polar people were also secretly looking at this territory.
As they observed, the look of surprise in their eyes grew stronger.
Obviously, the development level of Cao Xing’s territory exceeds the imagination of these polar people! Cao Xing also said: “I am Lord Cao Xing, welcome you to join.”
“Let’s build a more prosperous territory together.”
Cao Xing treats these staff members equally and gives them the respect they deserve.
The polar people gradually relaxed in their hearts when they saw that the new lord seemed quite kind.
Then, a polar man named Danilo said with a naive smile: “This lord, the aura on your body is as fierce as an earth dragon!”
“I feel that even the strongest warriors in the clan are no match for you.”
His words were recognized by other polar people, and everyone agreed.
“Yes, this lord has shocking strength! “And this territory, this is the first time I have come to such a magical territory. It is so warm, like lying in my mother’s arms…”
“Haha, other polar people also told us that they were recruited by the lords of other worlds to live a hard life. Now it seems that this is not the case!”
Listening to their admiration, Cao Xing smiled.
Then, he looked at their attributes and nodded secretly.
They are all level 2 to 4 polar people, similar to the first batch of recruits.
My loyalty level is also in my early 60s, which is pretty good.
Cao Xing said: “From today on, you will be under the command of Du An, and he will lead you to work.”
The twelve polar men immediately straightened their bodies, and then said respectfully: “I obey! My powerful lord!”
Then he looked at Du An next to him, “Sir Du An, please lead us to start work!”
Du An seemed not used to being called “sir” and looked at Cao Xing awkwardly.
Cao Xing smiled, and then said: “Duan, today you will lead people to continue upgrading the lord’s cabin, and then build the primary brewery.”
“In addition, we must continue to build the elemental arrow tower.”
“For the extra polar people, let them repair the city wall.”
Du An quickly wrote down Cao Xing’s tasks one by one.
After he finished speaking, Du An immediately straightened his body and said respectfully: “I obey! Lord!”
“We promise to get the job done!”
After saying that, he took the dozen or so polar men and the polar men behind him and started to work.
After everyone gradually dispersed.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, went straight to the [Sewing Shop].
Currently, Xia Yanni is the only one inside.
After seeing Cao Xing come in, Xia Yanni had a gentle smile on her face, “Sir…you are here…”
Cao Xing nodded, and then asked doubtfully: “Yanni, where is Chu Chu?”
Xia Yanni replied softly: “Sir…Chu Chu took little Wally out to deal with those ice nest monsters…”
“She also told me very excitedly that she fought with you last night and summoned robots to blow up several Rangers.”
Having said this, the beautiful woman had a maternal smile on her face, as if she was happy to see her child grow up.
However, without Tong Chuchu’s company, Xia Yanni seemed a little lonely by herself.
Cao Xing thought to himself: “The workload of the sewing shop is still quite large. After the leather of the beasts we shot earlier is processed, it also needs to be sewn. Xia Yanni can’t handle it alone.”
“We’ll see if we can recruit someone else later to help her share the pressure.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing took out all the Yuncai yak hair from his backpack and said.
“Yanni, I have to work hard on you these days. Use these hairs to make a few sets of clothes first.”
“Let’s see if we can cut it into a coat style. We’ll need it when we go out.”
Hearing this, Xia Yanni quickly said: “No…it’s not hard…”
“You have worked so hard…not only taking care of us mother and daughter, but also taking care of such a large territory…”
Having said this, she lowered her head shyly and whispered.
“If…if you feel stressed…you can come to Yanni at any time…”
When she spoke later, her voice was as quiet as a mosquito.
But Cao Xing heard it very clearly.
The mature and shy beautiful woman in front of her lowered her head and put her legs together.
When people take one look at it, they can’t help but want to hold it in their arms and love it.
He was just about to step forward.
At this moment, a system prompt appeared.
[Hog Village Soldier: Arno applied to visit your territory, do you agree? 】
Cao Xing stopped and couldn’t help but wonder: “The militiamen from Hoge Village want to visit my territory. How did they find them?”
Xia Yanni saw the expression on Cao Xing’s face, and then whispered: “Sir…is there anything going on outside?”
“It’s something.”
“Then… Sir, please go ahead and do your work first. You can put the hair in the storage box first. Yanni will do it according to your instructions…”
Cao Xing also knew that business was more important, so he nodded and said, “Okay.”
After speaking, he agreed to Arnault’s request for a visit.
Then, Cao Xing left the sewing shop and went straight outside the territory.
In the distance, a somewhat familiar figure quickly approached the city wall.
Because most of the survivors’ territories now have arrow towers built.
Therefore, when those aboriginal people approach, they must apply first.
Otherwise, once it enters the attack range, it will be attacked mercilessly by the arrow tower.
Cao Xing glanced at it and found that Arno was the only one coming.
Then he opened the city gate and came to the other party.
When militiaman Arno saw Cao Xing, his face showed excitement, fear, and various complicated expressions.
He said almost tremblingly: “Lord Cao Xing, I finally found you…”
Cao Xing asked in confusion: “How did you get here?”
Cao Xing was more curious about how these aborigines found him than Arno’s purpose.
After all, he had just done a big job last night, and he didn’t want to be exposed so soon.
Arnault took a few deep breaths, seeming to calm down his excitement.
Then explain slowly.
“That’s it, Lord Cao Xing.”
“When you came to Hog Village earlier, you told the village chief that your territory was nearby.”
“So we sent out several militiamen to search everywhere.”
“During this period, I also met several nearby survivor lords. I paid a certain amount of crowns and asked them if they knew where Lord Cao Xing was.”
“I started searching in the direction they pointed and saw this huge territory from a distance, so I guessed that this might be your territory!”
After hearing Arnault’s explanation, Cao Xing nodded.
The location of his territory is no secret.
After all, the last use of [Ice Dragon Horn] has made many survivor lords know that Cao Xing’s territory is nearby.
Moreover, although Cao Xing did a lot last night.
But those safari hunters should have no doubts about themselves.
Because in their perception, the lords of other worlds are a group of weak beings and cannot possibly have the strength to overthrow a camp of 600 people.
Cao Xing continued: “Arnault, what do you want from me?”
Militiaman Arno said quickly: “Lord Cao Xing, we are here to ask you for help!”
“We in Hog Village have been in trouble recently. We have no choice but to come to you…”
“Trouble?” Cao Xing frowned.
“Yes!”
Arnault explained: “In the past few days, there have been snow monsters in our Hog Village every night, and there are more than one!”
“At the most, there were even five-headed snow demons!”
“They knock on the villagers’ doors every night, causing panic.”
“You should know that creatures like the Snow Demon will break in even if you don’t open the door at night, and then devour the hearts of the villagers inside.”
“In just a few days, the number of villagers whose hearts were dug out by the snow demon has reached dozens!”
Speaking of this, militiaman Arno’s tone contained great fear.
After hearing this, Cao Xing realized it, and he subconsciously asked: “Is Elena okay?”
Upon hearing this name, militiaman Arno was stunned for a moment.
Then he quickly said: “Ms. Elena is fine for the time being.”
“But it seems that she was almost attacked by a snow demon last night, and now she doesn’t dare to go out.”
“You know, the village is very weak and there is nothing we can do.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this woman is somewhat related to him, and she is quite a nice person.
If possible, Cao Xing didn’t want anything to happen to her.
But after hearing that Elena was attacked by a snow demon last night, she became a little worried again.
Arno suppressed the fear in his heart at this time, and then continued: “Lord Cao Xing, evil creatures like the Snow Demon are too powerful and cannot be killed at all.”
“And our Hog Village is very weak. If we don’t ask for help, the entire village will be destroyed in the hands of these snow demons soon!”
“But our Hog Village does not belong to the territory of those nobles, nor do we know those powerful existences…”
“After thinking about it, you are the most powerful person around here.”
“So we decided that the entire Hog Village will contribute together. Every household has collected 87,442 crowns. Please help us once!”
“Please, kind Lord Cao Xing!”
After Arnault finished speaking, a system prompt appeared.
[Hog Village issues a commissioned task to you: Exorcise the Snow Demon]
[Task content: At night, drive away or kill the snow demons that invade Hog Village so that they will no longer harass the village]
[Task reward: Hog Village’s favorability increased, coins*87422]
【Do you accept it? 】
…
Seeing this system prompt, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
He still knew how difficult the Snow Demon was.
Last time there were so many people, they almost escaped from the snow demon.
In the end, it was Sarah’s [Shadow Bloom] that ended the snow demon.
And this time, the snow demon that appeared in Hoge Village was probably even more powerful than the one that came to Cao Xing’s territory last time.
But compared to the past few days, their strength has not only increased several times? And Cao Xing thought of something again at this time.
He thought to himself: “I remember that the champion fighter once said that it takes many tongues of the snow demon to catch the king salmon in Luoxue Lake.”
“And King Salmon involves a complete legendary weapon – the Sword of the Lady of the Lake.”
“Before, I didn’t know where to look for a large number of snow demons, but this time is an opportunity…”
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said: “I understand. You go back and tell the village chief that I will lead people to Hoge Village in the afternoon to help you drive away the snow demon.”
Hearing Cao Xing’s promise, the militiaman’s eyes suddenly showed excitement.
He knelt down on the snow, kowtowed to Cao Xing and said, “Thank you! You are really a powerful and kind lord!”
“We in Hog Village will always remember you!”
A system prompt appears.
[Successfully accepted the commissioned task: expel the snow demon]
Cao Xing helped Arnaud up.
Then under his gaze, Arno quickly left here and returned to Hog Village.
After he left.
Cao Xing also began to think about countermeasures to deal with the snow demon.
“These snow demons have very strong survivability and are very cautious. When faced with a large number of enemies, they will simply run away.”
“And after the blood volume drops to a certain limit, he will use a [Youxue Shen] skill to release all control states and escape.”
“So, you can’t bring too many people with you to deal with this kind of creature.”
“You can only use the strongest attack power to kill it instantly with one blow, otherwise the opponent will run away again.”
“And in my territory, only Sarah has such powerful explosive power.”
“But this time, there is more than one snow demon appearing in Hog Village…”
Cao Xing fell into thinking again.
After a while, he thought of a new plan.
“Since there is no other way to kill the Snow Demon instantly except Sarah, let’s use its skill characteristics.”
“Snow Demon can only use Yu Xueshen’s BUG-like escape skill when his blood volume drops below 30%.”
“So, I can use some means to control these snow demons first, and then start to drain their health.”
“When their blood volume drops to about 30%, if several long-range attacks are launched at the same time, there should be a chance of killing the opponent instantly!”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing already had an idea.
That is, bring a few more powerful long-range units there.
Then bring some melee fighters and secretly use [Ejection Rope Hook] to control these snow demons.
When the Snow Demon’s blood volume drops to a certain level, just focus a wave of fire to kill him instantly!
So he quickly returned to his territory and shouted.
“Ellie, Sylvia, come here.”
Hearing Cao Xing’s call, the two mage wives walked over together holding their staffs.
“Lord, are you calling me?”
Sylvia, who had some small freckles on her face, had a cheerful smile.
Ellie held a staff and stood timidly aside.
She also greeted softly, “Lord…Lord…”
Cao Xing didn’t say much and glanced at their levels.
Both of them have reached level 18 and are making pretty good progress.
So, Cao Xing said directly: “I’m going out tonight and need to take away all the remote units, so you also have to go out with me.”
Their loyalty has reached over 90, and they basically will not disobey Cao Xing’s orders.
The two mage wives nodded at the same time.
“In the name of the goddess Melando, we will follow your orders.”
Then, Cao Xing took out two elite souls from his backpack and handed them to them.
“Use it. We have to deal with an evil creature tonight. Before that, please improve your strength.”
Look at the soul in front of you.
The eyes of the two mage wives were first filled with surprise, and then disbelief.
After all, through what happened last night, they all know the powerful effect of these souls! This is actually a magical item that can enhance their potential!
Sylvia asked in disbelief: “Lord…lord…really want to give us such a valuable thing?”
“We are just mage apprentices who have mastered some basic magic…”
“I’m not qualified to use such a precious thing…”
But Cao Xing said directly: “You are mage apprentices now, will you be mage apprentices for the rest of your life?”
“Don’t you want to become a mage, an archmage?”
Upon hearing this, the two women looked at each other and then said firmly.
“think!”
“We also want to become powerful archmages!”
Cao Xing smiled and said: “Then use it.”
“Follow me and all these dreams will come true one by one!”
