They saw that Cao Xing was holding a scarlet tongue in his hand
Militiaman Arno’s pupils suddenly shrank, and then he exclaimed: “Oh my God! That’s the tongue of the Snow Demon!”
“Lord Cao Xing actually killed such an evil creature!”
Including other militiamen, all had looks of shock and disbelief on their faces.
After all, their initial idea was to invite Cao Xing to come over and use powerful means to drive away the snow demon.
According to the habits of the Snow Demon, if you suffer a loss in one place, you will not come back again in a short period of time.
Although this method cannot solve the problem once and for all, it can obtain peace of mind for a period of time.
But no one thought that Cao Xing would directly kill the Snow Demon! Arno asked tentatively: “Lord Cao Xing…were those snow demons really killed by you?”
“Yes.”
After receiving the confirmation, Arnault had a look of ecstasy on his face.
“Lord Cao Xing, you really surprised me!”
“I have never heard of anyone in my life who can kill the Snow Demon!”
Other militiamen also echoed.
“That’s right, Lord Cao Xing’s power is so incredible!”
“The Snow Demon has been killed. We won’t be intruded by these monsters for a long time!”
Militiaman Arno said excitedly: “Great! I’m going to tell all the villagers in Hog Village this news!”
After saying that, he trotted towards the village.
“Everyone in Hog Village, Lord Cao Xing has killed those snow demons. We no longer have to worry about the threat of snow demons!”
Hearing his voice, all the villagers felt as if they had received a shot of stimulant in this late night, and they were very excited.
Including Elena, who was hiding in the basement, also heard Arno’s voice, with a look of joy on their faces.
She knew that Cao Xing had succeeded.
After the village chief Maldo heard the news, he quickly walked out of the room and quickly came to Cao Xing’s side.
He solemnly said: “Lord Cao Xing, I have heard that you actually killed those powerful snow demons!”
“This way, you won’t have to worry about the snow demon intrusion in the next few years!”
“On behalf of all the villagers of Hoge Village, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!”
After speaking, Maldo bowed solemnly.
Cao Xing smiled and said: “Chief Maldo is so polite. This is what I should do.”
The village chief Maldo quickly asked the militiaman next to him to bring over a cloth bag, which contained more than 80,000 crowns.
“Lord Cao Xing, this is the reward I promised you.”
And Cao Xing was not polite and took the more than 80,000 kroner directly.
The next moment, a system prompt appears.
[Successfully completed the mission: expel the snow demon]
[Mission reward obtained: Coin*87422, Hog Village’s favorability has been improved. 】
[Current relationship: Intimacy]
[Intimacy: Every other week, you can go to Hog Village to recruit a group of new people for free. 】
…
Seeing the system prompt, a look of surprise appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
“Huh? After the relationship with Hog Village has been upgraded to a close relationship, it actually still has this function?”
“This feeling is so good!”
“In this way, in addition to the recruitment function of the tavern, I have an additional fixed source of population.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing laughed happily.
At this time, the village chief of Maldo continued: “Lord Cao Xing, it is already late at night, and your men should be tired from the battle tonight.”
“Let’s stay in Hog Village tonight. How about leaving early tomorrow morning?”
“Okay.” Cao Xing replied.
A smile appeared on Maldo’s wrinkled face, “Okay, Lord Cao Xing, if you have any requests or other questions, you can come to me at any time, and I will do my best to complete it!”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing suddenly said: “Village Chief Maldo, I do need your help with something.”
Maldo said respectfully: “Please tell me, Lord Cao Xing.”
Cao Xing got straight to the point: “It’s about Elena. My territory is still short of manpower, so I want to bring her back to the territory. I hope the village chief can agree.”
Hearing this, Maldo Village Chief showed a thoughtful look on his face, and then said: “To be honest, Lord Cao Xing, it’s okay for you to take Elena away…”
“It’s just that her grain store is actually owned by the village…”
“Most of her food comes from the grain tax paid by the villagers every year. It is sold in the store, and the kroner earned will be used by me to build the village.”
“Her husband died in the mountains. We thought she was all alone, so we asked her to work in a grain store.”
“so…”
After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded suddenly, and then said: “I understand, Village Chief Maldo.”
“We won’t take away the food from the grain store. I just need to take Elena away.”
Although Elena’s grain store is a huge fortune, Cao Xing did not take her away just for the grain.
After hearing this, Maldo nodded quickly and said: “That’s great, Lord Cao Xing, you can take Elena away early tomorrow morning.”
Cao Xing shook his head and said: “It’s nothing, but I would like to trouble you to find a new grain store owner.”
Maldo waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was no trouble.
Then, Cao Xing asked Assam and others to go back and rest.
As for himself, he took Liu Muxue back to the room arranged by the village chief to rest.
However, the two did not go to bed to sleep. Instead, they leaned next to the stove and fell asleep cuddling up.
The next day…
A system prompt appears.
[Attention survivors, you have passed the sixth day of the official period. After tomorrow, you will usher in the first zone merger, so please be prepared. 】
[The Dragon’s Resurrection expansion pack will be updated for the second time, the Dragon Shop will add more props, and new ranking challenges will be opened soon, so look forward to it…]
[Today’s weather: Breezy, there will be a cold wave passing through at night, please be prepared to keep warm and cold. 】
…
After hearing the system prompts, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue woke up together.
Liu Muxue blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly: “It’s about to be updated again, Ah Xing!”
Cao Xing nodded and said, “Yes, and there are also new ranking challenges.”
After hearing this, Liu Muxue also had an excited look on her face. The rewards from the last ranking list were pretty good, and she summoned Xierda, a leader-level creature.
This gave them a taste of the sweetness.
Liu Muxue held her pink fist and said excitedly: “We will also win first place this time! Hum!”
Cao Xing smiled and said, “I guess it’s not that easy.”
“This ranking is quite difficult. After all, 10 regions are merging, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of people.”
Hearing this, Liu Muxue suddenly said: “That’s right…”
“However, I believe Ah Xing is the most powerful!”
“I will also work hard with Azing!”
Cao Xing also laughed, “Okay, let’s work hard together.”
After rubbing her head, Cao Xing said, “Let’s go, get ready to return to the territory.”
…
…
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue walked out of the house and came to the entrance of Hoge Village.
Soon, others gathered at the entrance of the village again, including Elena who also packed her things.
She had received a notice from the village chief Maldo last night, telling her that she could leave with Cao Xing if she understood.
This made Elena look both embarrassed and a little expectant.
Liu Muxue next to her looked at the shy Elena and seemed to understand something.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she came to Elena.
Elena was a little uncomfortable at first, looking at Liu Muxue with awe in her eyes and acting very cautiously.
However, with Liu Muxue’s enthusiasm.
After a while, the two girls started chatting happily, even laughing.
Cao Xing looked at them with a strange expression.
He was just about to issue a recruitment invitation to Elena, when he seemed to remember something.
“By the way, my friendship with Hog Village has reached a close level, and I can use the recruitment function once a week.”
“It just so happens that we try to bring some people back this time.”
So, he clicked [Recruit] directly.
[Recruitment successful, the mayor of Hog Village is arranging personnel…]
…
Cao Xing was stunned, “Is it so convenient?”
But he didn’t think too much about it, after all, the function of the system itself was very powerful.
It can be said that it is the golden finger that all survivors of Blue Star have.
He waited silently.
Not long after, several villagers ran over quickly carrying large and small bags.
One of the middle-aged men, who was about 30 years old, said: “Sir Cao Xing, the village chief said that your territory needs manpower, so let us come to assist you.”
“You will be our lord from now on!”
The other villagers said with smiles on their faces.
“I never thought that we would be favored by Mr. Cao Xing. We will work well for you in the future!”
Cao Xing also smiled.
“Welcome, let’s build a rich and vibrant territory together!”
After saying that, he issued a recruitment invitation to these villagers and Elena.
[Successful recruitment: Elena/Ruben/Gasna/Ureli… join your territory, territory population +8]
Cao Xing glanced at it.
These people are both male and female, and most of them are between 20 and 40 years old.
The mayor of Hoge Village was quite kind and did not send him some old, weak, sick or disabled people.
However, these are ordinary villagers with no special skills.
You can arrange for them to go to Cao Yishou to collect resources, or to farm with Dahua.
However, the loyalty of these villagers is quite high, with loyalty levels above 70 when they are first recruited.
What surprised Cao Xing was that the loyalty of Elena, who had just joined, was as high as 90.
Looking at the charming woman, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth.
Hello young woman…
Obedient and sensible…
Then he took out the sled and continued to hang it on Baymax.
Cao Xing looked at the villagers and said, “Let’s all sit on it.”
The villagers looked at the sled on the ground with curiosity, and then sat on it carefully.
As for Elena, she was invited by Liu Muxue with a face full of shame and sat together behind Mammoth.
Boom! Boom!
The mammoth strides forward.
The group of people rushed towards the territory unscathed.
Ten minutes later.
They had already seen Cao Xing’s territory.
Compared with the past few days, the territory has undergone considerable changes.
With the unremitting efforts of Duan and others.
All [Elementary City Walls] have been upgraded to [Intermediate City Walls].
The intermediate city wall is 4 meters high and 60 centimeters wide. It looks full of weight!
Under this width, some defensive facilities such as large crossbows can already be placed.
besides.
They also saw a total of 23 intermediate elemental arrow towers, 7 sentry towers, and 12 ice arrow towers.
This made Cao Xing’s territory look full of intimidation.
The villagers looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, exclaiming from time to time.
“Gods above me, Lord Cao Xing’s territory is too powerful!”
“So many arrow towers and so many powerful soldiers, my God!”
“The level of defense in our Hog Village is nothing compared to Lord Cao Xing’s territory!”
“Living in a territory like this, you don’t have to worry about the snow demons coming at night. They will be shot away by these arrow towers before they get close, haha!”
The villagers in Hoge Village had happy smiles on their faces.
Like Old Mel, in this world, the first need of ordinary people like these is to protect their own lives.
Obviously, Cao Xing’s territory can satisfy this need.
[Because the prosperity of your territory has reached the required level, new members feel a sense of security. Territory member: Ruben, loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 75]
[Because the prosperity of your territory has reached the required level, new members feel a sense of security. Territory member: Elena, loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 93]
【Because of you…】
A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth.
The gates of the territory are wide open.
Seeing Cao Xing and others returning safely, the residents also had happy smiles on their faces.
Everyone smiled and greeted: “Welcome back, Lord.”
“Good morning, Lord!”
“Madam Lord, you look beautiful again today…”
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue also nodded in response.
Amidst the greetings, they arrived at the center of the territory.
Cao Xing first asked the combatants to go back and rest.
Then he called the leader Cao Yi over.
Cao Yi said respectfully: “Lord, please give me your instructions.”
Cao Xing nodded, “These newcomers have just arrived in our territory. You need to familiarize them with the environment first, and then arrange their work for today.”
Upon hearing this, the leader Cao glanced at the villagers in Hoge Village.
They all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
“Okay, Lord Lord, I will take them there right now.”
Then, Cao Yi led seven new members and left.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, looked at the charming woman next to him.
“Elena, come with me.”
She nodded lightly, “Okay…sir…”
Then he followed Cao Xing silently.
The two went straight to the sewing shop and opened the door.
As before, Xia Yanni is still busy.
She was sewing a batch of animal skin light armor, and it looked like she had been working on it for a long time.
At this moment, Xia Yanni saw Elena next to Cao Xing at a glance.
There was some curiosity and doubt in her beautiful eyes.
Cao Xing said: “Yanni, Elena is our new member.”
“I also know that you have to take on the sewing work of the entire territory by yourself, which is a bit stressful.”
“Elena will work with you from now on, you can take care of her.”
After Xia Yanni heard this, a gentle smile appeared on her face, “Okay, sir, thank you.”
She stood up, then took slender steps and came to Elena’s side.
“Ms. Elena, please take good care of me in the future.”
Elena quickly replied: “Where… where… I need you to take more care of me…”
“I…I will assist you well…if you have any questions, just ask…”
Both of them seemed very polite.
They introduced each other and each knew the other’s age and name.
Elena is one year older than Xia Yanni.
Two mature women standing together are unique.
However, Xia Yanni’s height of almost 1.8 meters is a full head taller than Elena.
Elena looked at Xia Yanni and exclaimed: “Oh, sister, you are so tall…”
Xia Yanni said with some embarrassment: “Yes, sometimes I feel that I am too tall and feel a little inferior…”
Elena quickly shook her head and said: “How could it be? Your body is exactly what I have dreamed of, it is so perfect.”
“This is a figure that is enough to drive those nobles and knights crazy!”
“No…no…”
Perhaps because their experiences were relatively similar, the two women got along very well.
After a while, they started talking happily.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing smiled and left the sewing shop.
…
Then, Cao Xing found Juliette again.
Taking Neve, the three of them came to the back garden area of the Lord’s Mansion.
He took out one [Snow Demon Leader’s Heart (Gold)] and two [Snow Demon Leader’s Hearts (Purple)].
Then he said: “Juliet, give these to the Pale Tree.”
Juliette nodded slightly, “Okay, respected lord.”
“I didn’t expect you to find a new heart so quickly. If this continues, it won’t be long before the Pale Tree grows into a big tree.”
Juliette didn’t care at all about the appearance of the Snow Demon’s heart.
As a botanist full of knowledge, in her eyes, the Snow Demon Heart is just a prop that can accelerate the growth of the Pale Tree, just like the human-faced tree heart.
Cao Xing smiled, “I’m also looking forward to the day when the Pale Tree will fully grow up.”
Then, he watched Juliette pour out the life force contained in the heart of the first leader.
At this moment, the crown of the Pale Tree began to sway gently.
There was the sound of leaves rustling.
Wow…
Then, the Pale Tree began to grow rapidly.
From the original height of 5 meters, it quickly grew to 6 meters, 7 meters…
It didn’t stop until almost 10 meters.
A system prompt appears.
[Your territory plant: Pale Tree has obtained accelerated growth, this acceleration time is: 7 years]
[The blessing of life effect increases by 7%, the blessing of growth effect increases by 7%]
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing had a look of joy on his face.
“It actually grew by 7 years all of a sudden!”
“Very good, now the healing power of Ice Therapy and Life Bloom can be greatly increased again!”
A moment later, Juliette poured the vitality contained in two other boss-level hearts into the Pale Tree.
Rumble…
The Pale Tree continues to grow.
The trunk is elevated, the branches continue to extend, and the dense crown looks like a big white umbrella.
[Your territory plant: Pale Tree has obtained accelerated growth, this acceleration time is: 4 years]
[The blessing of life effect increases by 4%, the blessing of growth effect increases by 4%]
…
“Not bad, not bad, two boss-level hearts, another 4 years added to the time!”
“In this way, it adds up to a full 32% life bonus, which is too strong!”
At this time, the Pale Tree also ushered in greater changes.
The height exceeds 14 meters, the trunk diameter exceeds 1 meter, and a large number of branches and dense white leaves grow on the crown.
The breeze blew and there was a rustling sound.
The crown of the tree swayed gently, and from time to time a few pure white leaves fell down.
It looks full of sacredness.
At this time, Cao Xing also realized how powerful this legendary holy tree was.
The pale tree of epic quality alone can enhance the life bonus by up to 100%.
According to Juliette, the quality of the complete Pale Tree even exceeds the legend.
If one day, he could really resurrect the legendary pale holy tree in his own territory.
So the improvement brought by this tree alone is unimaginable!
Juliette and Neve also had happy smiles on their faces.
“That’s great sister, I feel like this pale tree is almost as tall as the one at the door of our little tree house.” Neve said excitedly.
Juliette nodded slightly, “Yes, it’s hard to imagine that a few days ago it was just a sapling…”
“One day in the future, maybe we can really see the Pale Tree reappear.”
At this time, Juliette seemed to have remembered something and said softly: “By the way, Lord Lord, I have something to report to you.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing asked in confusion: “What’s the matter?”
“It’s about the ancient war tree seeds you gave me a few days ago.”
“After these few days of watering with Cold Spirit Water and the accelerated growth effect of the Pale Tree, they have successfully emerged from the ground. Do you need to check it out?”
Juliette blinked her jewel-like pupils and looked at Cao Xing.
After hearing this, Cao Xing felt happy.
“It grew out so quickly?”
“Very good, let’s go over and take a look.”
