A demigod’s attack, a real killer! (5800)

Chapter 418: Demigod Strike, the Real Trump Card! (5800)

[Toxic Flame Giant Lizard Storm: Consumes 40 points of divine power value, summons the shadow of the Toxic Flame Giant Lizard to launch an attack, condenses a toxic flame storm in a 10,000-meter diameter area ahead, dealing 24.26 million toxic flame damage per second to all enemies inside, lasting for 10 seconds;

After the toxic flame storm ends, it will apply 10 stacks of "Ancient Lizard Poison" to all enemies, causing 2.85 million HP to drain per second, lasting for 30 seconds]

(Note: This skill contains strong toxic flame power, and the residual power will pollute the surrounding environment. Please use it with caution.)

…

[Wrath of the Ancient Lizard Emperor: Consumes 50 points of divine power value, summons the phantom of the Ancient Lizard Emperor, fires a destructive beam of light at the enemy, dealing 10 * 132 million fixed damage to all enemies within 10,000 meters ahead, and reducing the enemy's armor by 10% with each successful hit]

…

"Hiss!!!"

After reading the attributes above, Cao Xing directly took a sharp breath of cold air.

"Perverted! Truly too perverted!"

These three skills were more terrifying than the last.

Especially the last one — Wrath of the Ancient Lizard Emperor.

This thing is truly a trump card!

10 stages of damage, and it bursts out instantly, and every hit reduces the enemy's armor.

It is equivalent to each attack being higher than the last.

By the final stage of the attack, it directly deals damage after reducing the enemy's armor by 100%.

With such terrifying power, even Legendary creatures would probably be severely damaged!

If it were a slightly weaker Legendary, they might be directly killed in one hit!

Not to mention Hero-level creatures.

Under this Demigod-level ultimate skill, almost as many as come will die!

Of course, the more powerful the skill, the more terrifying the consumption.

Calculated according to the recovery speed of the divine power value above.

After using the ultimate skill once, it takes 50 days to use it again.

Including the other two skills, using them once requires waiting for at least a month.

At this moment, Cao Xing thought of the item rewarded by the system's first kill — Divine Power Shard.

"According to the introduction above, 1 shard can replenish 10 points of divine power value, and 5 shards can just replenish 50 points of divine power value."

"In other words, under the condition of sparing no cost right now, I can even use [Wrath of the Ancient Lizard Emperor] twice in a row?"

After reaching this conclusion, Cao Xing was instantly startled.

Then came a look of wild joy!

"Haha, one Lizard Emperor's Wrath might not kill a Legendary!"

"But if it comes twice, it can definitely kill a Legendary-level existence!"

Instantly, Cao Xing's confidence greatly increased!

With this thing, he even had the capital to go head-to-head with Legendaries.

Although the Book of the Dead of Ascalon was consumed, harvesting this Lizardman Statue could be said to be a huge profit!

"So comfortable…"

With satisfaction, he put the [Lizardman Ancestor Statue] into his backpack.

Assam and Braum also walked back at this moment.

"Lord, the stone gate has been closed. This is the stone you wanted."

Assam respectfully handed it up.

Cao Xing put the Sealing Stone back into his backpack and nodded slightly.

Then he continued to order: "Block this passage, and temporarily do not let the workers approach here."

"As you command."

Hearing this, Assam turned around quickly and waved the lady of the lake sword in his hand!

"Rumble!"

The boulders collapsed, completely blocking this passage.

At this point, the last trace of danger in this cave had also been eliminated.

Cao Xing continued: "Let's go, let's head out."

Under Harati's guidance.

A group of core combat personnel, including that group of Centaurs, walked toward the outside of the hall.

Following the winding passage all the way, they successfully arrived outside the grotto.

At this moment.

Four Gale Griffins were still waiting at the entrance.

As aerial units, they could not exert much advantage in the complex terrain inside the grotto.

Therefore, Cao Xing did not let them go in.

Liu Muxue said softly: "The snow seems to have stopped."

Cao Xing raised his head and indeed saw that there were no longer any fluttering snowflakes in the sky.

Then he glanced at the time.

It was now 14:39 in the afternoon.

Nearly an hour had passed since they entered the cave.

This moderate snow had not fallen for long.

However, the swirling snow still covered the mountains with a layer of white velvet carpet once again.

Cao Xing looked at the Centaur next to him and then said.

"Kandaer, although this place is a heartbreaking place for you all."

"But this is also a place where the Centaurs paid with their lives to conquer. We should make the most of its value."

"So I need you to bring a few Centaurs to guard the entrance here, and wait for me to go back and call the workers over to develop this grotto."

Hearing this, Kandaer respectfully said: "Please don't worry about us, respected Lord."

"I will lead people to guard this place well."

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

Then he jumped back onto Da Bai's back.

Liu Muxue beside him also mounted the Frost Moose.

Cao Xing said: "So now, everyone follow me back."

Everyone began to take action, and a look of relief gradually appeared on their faces.

For many people, this battle was a meaningful transformation.

Because even in their past lives, they had never dealt with such a powerful enemy.

Now, they had successfully defeated a powerful enemy, making huge breakthroughs in both state of mind and cognition.

Meanwhile.

Da Bai and Frost Moose led the team, sprinting all the way forward.

In the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the valley.

That group of griffins hovered at a low altitude, following the team's advance.

Their mighty figures flashed across the sky, like a loyal guard team escorting everyone.

About an hour later.

Cao Xing and the others successfully returned to the territory.

Including Wild Boar Warriors, Ascalon Warriors, and Star Country Swordsmen.

A total of several hundred combat personnel had long been looking forward to it in the center of the territory.

They all knew that their Lord had taken all the core combat personnel in the territory to rescue the Centaur troops.

While feeling moved in their hearts, they also felt very worried.

Those newcomers probably didn't feel much, after all, they had been summoned for less than 24 hours.

As for the Wild Boar Warriors and Ascalon Warriors, every day felt like a year to them.

They had finally found a place they could call home.

And they were willing to give everything for this territory.

If anything happened to the Lord, it would simply be unimaginable.

Including Marita at this moment, a look of worry also appeared in her room.

And right at this moment, they noticed a group of familiar figures appearing outside the territory.

Instantly, a look of surprise and joy appeared in their pupils.

The Wild Boar Warriors laughed and said: "Haha! The strong Lord is back, and he has also brought back the Centaurs!"

"Great! I said the Lord would definitely defeat the powerful enemy!"

The warriors echoed one after another.

"That's right! I also firmly believe that the Lord can be invincible as before, and all enemies will be swept away by him."

"The Lord is invincible!"

Marita in the room, upon hearing the news of Cao Xing's return, also had a look of joy in her eyes.

And when Cao Xing and the others approached, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually disappeared.

Because they saw the corpses of other Centaurs on the backs of those Centaurs.

For a moment, the warriors all fell silent.

Cao Xing rode Da Bai to the front of everyone and then said.

"As you can see, we have brought back the Centaurs."

"However, quite a few warriors have also sacrificed."

"They sacrificed for the territory, and they will be remembered by all of us!"

The warriors suddenly straightened their expressions and looked at him solemnly.

Cao Xing waved his hand and continued: "Now, bury our heroes in the Hero Cemetery area."

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

The Centaurs carried the corpses of their companions on their backs and walked towards the Hero Cemetery area of the territory.

Until their bodies were buried and stone tablets were erected above them.

The names of each of them were recorded on it.

The newly joined Silver Hand Knights saw this scene and seemed to understand a bit why the warriors of this territory were so enthusiastic about the Lord.

For a time, the loyalty of all these newcomers increased by 5 to 10 points.

A moment later, Centaur Saint Harati seemed to remember something.

She turned slightly and took a leather backpack off her streamlined horse back.

Then she respectfully handed it into Cao Xing's hands.

"Lord, this is the loot we obtained from clearing out that grotto. Please take a look."

Cao Xing nodded and put away everything in this backpack.

[Obtained: Advanced Heart of Power * 47]

[Obtained: Intermediate Heart of Power * 215]

[Obtained: Cave Giant Lizard Elite Soul * 13]

[Obtained: Advanced Elemental Crystal * 441]

[Obtained: Intermediate Elemental Crystal * 1632]

[Obtained…]

Seeing so many materials, a look of gratification also appeared on Cao Xing's face.

They had killed nearly two thousand giant lizards in that cave. Although Hilda had hatched all their corpses into Blood Spiders, a lot of materials still dropped.

"Not bad, Harati."

"You have been tired from continuous battles. Now let all the Centaurs return to their rooms to rest."

Harati glanced at the state of the Centaurs, then nodded and said: "Yes, thank you, Lord."

With those words, she turned around and led all the Centaurs away from here.

Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing at this time and said softly: "A-Xing, there are still two hours left before the end of the Zhuo Mas Claw challenge. Shall I lead the warriors out to fight?"

"In these two hours, we can also gain a lot of points!"

After a few days of the Zhuo Mas Claw challenge, Liu Muxue's command experience and combat experience were rapidly improving.

This also made her a point-farming maniac.

She used to wake up at six or seven every day, but now she woke up at five and took the warriors out to wait for the refresh of the Zhuo Mas Claw.

Therefore, she didn't want to waste the remaining two hours.

Cao Xing looked at her with gratification.

"Let's go out in a bit, Muxue."

"Take this Master-level Heart of Power. Use it to break through first."

Liu Muxue was slightly taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't you give it to Assam or Hilda first?"

She also knew that currently, the gains from those two breaking through in the territory were quite substantial.

Cao Xing shook his head and explained, "No, having you break through right now will yield even better results."

"In the past, our territory didn't have many people, so following the elite route yielded greater benefits."

"But now, as the legion gradually takes shape and the number of combat personnel increases, your role is becoming increasingly significant."

"Thanks to your blessing, the warriors can fight enemies one or even two ranks above them."

"And the stronger you are, the stronger the territory's overall strength, allowing us to wipe out an Ice Nest Monster legion even faster."

A look of realization appeared in Liu Muxue's eyes, and she nodded solemnly.

"I understand, Ah Xing. I will definitely break through."

She gripped the broken sword in her hand, her gaze resolute.

Cao Xing smiled.

Then he took out the [ Master-level Heart of Power ].

Liu Muxue gently took it and directly shattered the crystal.

"Crack~!"

As the pure power was absorbed by her,

a moment later, powerful waves of Aurora power continuously radiated from her tall figure.

The dazzling Aurora danced in the air like nimble colorful ribbons, making her whole person appear ethereal and otherworldly.

At the same time, waves of formidable power fluctuations emerged within her body, growing stronger by the moment.

Seeing this, Cao Xing knew that success was guaranteed.

Sure enough, the system prompt appeared.

[Your subordinate lord: Liu Muxue used the Master-level Heart of Power, successfully advancing to a Tier-6 creature. Basic attributes increased by 100%, health points additionally increased by 100%, and status resistance increased by 50%.]

…

Meanwhile,

Liu Muxue opened her beautiful eyes, and the dazzling Aurora power rushed into her body as if it had found its home.

She said excitedly, "Ah Xing, I succeeded!"

Her tone carried unconcealable joy and excitement.

A look of gratification also appeared on Cao Xing's face. "Great job, Muxue."

He glanced at her attributes.

[Survivor: Liu Muxue]

[Race: Blue Star Human]

[Level: Level 50 0/1000000 (Tier-6 Aurora Knight)]

[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]

…

…

"Goodness gracious…"

"Spirit has already broken 3,000. Calculated this way, the Blessing of Courage can increase everyone's attack power by 4,521 points!"

"Hiss—this is simply too terrifying!"

What kind of concept was 4,500 attack power?

It could more than double the attack power of the soldiers on the field.

Even when applied to Cao Xing, it could increase it by around 80%!

It could be said that with her blessing, the territory's overall strength would reach a brand new height.

Cao Xing praised, "Not bad."

"Muxue, go ahead and apply the blessing to all our soldiers now."

The beauty in front of him nodded solemnly.

With that said, Cao Xing first called all the warriors over and gathered them together.

Then, surrounded by the crowd, she raised [Magdale] and cast [Blessing of Courage].

"Hum!"

A powerful wave of Aurora power spread outward from the tip of her sword.

In an instant, everyone felt a terrifyingly formidable power surge into their bodies.

The Wild Boar Warriors cried out in astonishment!

"Gods above! The Lord's wife's blessing has become even more terrifying. This Wild Boar Warrior feels full of strength!"

The others were deeply shocked as well.

This power was simply too immense, pushing the attack power of these Tier-5 warriors close to Tier-7 strength!

Cao Xing took a look and saw that the buffs on the newly joined Silver Hand Knights and Tribal Witch Doctors had been successfully applied.

Therefore, Cao Xing gave his orders, "There's still some time before dark."

"Ascalon Warriors, continue following my wife out to battle."

"Assam, lead the Silver Hand Knights and Tribal Witch Doctors to deal with the Ice Nest Monster legion and raise the levels of these newcomers."

"Bjorn, your team stays behind. I have other arrangements for you shortly."

Hearing this, everyone immediately acknowledged the order.

Liu Muxue and Assam each mounted their mounts.

Then they split into two groups and continued challenging Zhuo Mas Claw.

Left behind in place were only the Dragon Blood Warrior legion led by Bjorn and those max-level Earth-type mages.

After Liu Muxue and the others left, Cao Xing said, "Commander Bo Jie, wait in the territory with the warriors for now."

The giant-axe-wielding Dragon Blood Warrior said respectfully, "As you command, my Lord."

After arranging these combat personnel,

Cao Xing called over Da Zhuang the Arctic Person.

At this moment, Da Zhuang was carrying a bundle of timber on his shoulder, walking quickly toward Cao Xing.

Because the goblin peon mining detachment led by these dozen or so Arctic People was highly efficient,

the resource nodes that had refreshed near the territory yesterday had already been completely mined out.

With no veins left to mine, Cao Xing could only have them go cut down some trees nearby for now.

Da Zhuang arrived by Cao Xing's side, dropped the timber at his feet, and dusted off his clothes.

"Respected Lord."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and asked, "Da Zhuang, how many transport vehicles do we have in the territory now?"

Da Zhuang thought for a moment and replied, "Reporting to the Lord, there are about 12 now."

Hearing this number, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Very well. Next, I'm giving you a task."

Da Zhuang instantly straightened his posture and began to listen attentively.

"Starting from now, you will lead all the goblin peons, drive our transport vehicles, and head to the mine over a hundred kilometers away from the territory to carry out mining operations."

"Since the journey is long, traveling back and forth will be quite difficult."

"Therefore, for the next period of time, you may have to live and work there."

"However, we've already checked out the environment of that mine. The temperature inside is suitable, and as long as you light a campfire, you won't have to worry about the cold."

"The conditions might be a bit harsh, so you'll need to bear with it for a while."

Hearing this, Da Zhuang hurriedly replied, "No problem, my Lord!"

"Please don't worry. We Arctic People often work in extremely harsh environments, so a little difficulty like this is nothing to us."

"Besides, with the territory providing our logistics, working outside feels as relaxing as a holiday to us."

Cao Xing nodded.

Then, he looked at the Wild Boar Warrior nearby.

"Rabb, lead twenty Wild Boar Warriors and escort our convoy over right now."

"Yes! Strong Lord."

Rabb immediately gripped his weapon and began selecting suitable men.

Da Zhuang also left the area.

A moment later, over a hundred goblins returned to the territory one after another.

Cao Xing had other Arctic People load over 2,000 kilograms of grain and some meat onto their transport vehicles, which was enough to sustain them for many days.

There was also a large amount of coal and firewood for them to keep warm at night.

Once everything was ready, a dozen Arctic People climbed into the cabs of the transport vehicles.

As for the goblin peons, they skillfully jumped into the truck beds.

"Rumble!"

The energy core of the transport vehicles activated.

Before long, Da Zhuang drove a pitch-black armored transport vehicle up to Cao Xing.

"Lord, we're setting off!"

Cao Xing nodded in acknowledgment.

Watched by him, the convoy grandly departed from the territory.

"Not bad, that's another thing checked off the list," Cao Xing said with satisfaction.

The Lamprey Grotto was a large resource point. Aside from the frost-glazed white crystal ore, it also contained a massive amount of other ores.

Moving forward, even if they didn't look for new resource nodes for a month or two, there would still be plenty for them to mine.

This could also be considered preparation for the upcoming version update.

After all, once the challenge for Zhuo Mas Claw ended,

they would enter a special scenario: Battle of the Oracle, which would last for a full month.

Since those workers wouldn't be entering with them, he needed to arrange their work for the coming month beforehand.

Cao Xing continued walking around the territory while carefully pondering what else needed to be prepared.

Then, his gaze turned to the loot in his backpack.

Piled inside were a large number of Epic-quality materials, all dropped from the corpse of the Lizardman Overlord.

If he could digest them all, Cao Xing would instantly gain over a dozen Epic pieces of equipment.

But right now, he didn't have a Master-level blacksmith, so he could only temporarily set them aside.

Aside from these materials, there was also an [Overlord-level Soul] imbued with a powerful aura.

This was also a resource that could be used immediately.

Currently, there were only six people in the territory who could use this soul.

They were Sarah, Hilda, Bjorn, Francesca, Victoria, and Harati the Centaur.

According to these six powerhouses, their peak strength in the past only reached Commander-level.

None of them had ever reached the Overlord level.

Furthermore, after transforming into an Overlord, not only would their attributes increase, but they would also activate a domain. It could be described as a massive enhancement.

However, Cao Xing was now facing a dilemma: he didn't know who would be best to give this soul to.

Each of these six commanders had their own unique traits, and whichever one broke through to Overlord would further strengthen Cao Xing's territory.

But there was only one soul; making a choice was indeed a tough problem.

"Who should I give it to…"

Just as he was pondering this question, he suddenly noticed a white figure following behind him.

Turning around, he discovered a fowl covered entirely in white feathers raising its head and gazing directly at him.
