Chapter 102: The Powerful Blood Spider Queen

Chapter 102: The Powerful Blood Spider Queen

"Tch…"

The Blood Spider Queen still wore an arrogant expression, but she also seemed to have compromised a bit, "It looks like you have a loyal group of subordinates."

"Even the proud Dark Elf can be so submissive to you. It seems that you, this lord, must have some unique traits."

"That being the case, it's not entirely out of the question for me, Hilda, to pledge my temporary allegiance to you."

Hearing her response, Cao Xing nodded.

"Very good."

Then he looked at the others and said, "Everyone, put your weapons down."

Not a single one of these subordinates had a loyalty below 80, and they basically obeyed his commands implicitly.

They all put away their weapons.

Cao Xing looked at this terrifying and seductive spider empress, then said,

"Then, welcome to my territory, Hilda."

The Blood Spider Queen bent her waist slightly and bowed to Cao Xing, which counted as a response to his invitation.

He glanced at Hilda's stats.

[Blood Spider Queen: Hilda Bloodkiss]

[Race: Blood Spider]

[Level: Level 10 1533/10000 (Tier 1 Boss-tier creature, unadvanced)]

[HP: 3720/3720]

[Attack Power: 311 ~ 323]

[Attributes: Strength 115, Agility 121, Spirit 146, Constitution 124]

[Skills: Hatch Blood Spider (Hatches a large number of ordinary Blood Spiders of the same level from within her body. The Blood Spiders will crazily attack enemies, and after their HP drops to zero, they will self-destruct, inflicting 1 layer of Blood Poison effect on all nearby enemies, stackable up to 10 layers, cooldown 10 minutes.)]

[Blood Kiss (Shoots a strand of spider silk to drag the enemy to her side, then injects scorching Blood Poison, dealing Attack Power * 133% damage. After the enemy melts, they will be devoured by the Blood Spider Queen, restoring 30% HP. Maximum attack range is Agility * 0.1 meters, cooldown 10 minutes.)]

[Queens Will (The Blood Spider Queen transmits the will to attack, causing all friendly units to enter a frenzy state, increasing movement speed by 50%. The effect lasts for 20 seconds, cooldown 5 minutes.)]

[Web Shoot (Releases a large spider web to bind the enemy in the web, controlling them for 3 ~ 10 seconds, cooldown 3 minutes)]

[Terrifying Scream (Emits a soul-shocking screech, causing all enemy creatures within 50 meters around to fall into a state of fear for 5 ~ 20 seconds. Under the fear state, the enemy's attack power decreases by 30%. When used on weak creatures, it will keep them in a long-term mental awe state, cooldown: 10 minutes)]

[Talent ①: Blood Poison (Contains a large amount of Blood Poison in the body, attaching a Blood Poison effect to enemies when attacking, continuously burning their skin. Each layer of Blood Poison deals 10% of Attack Power in damage and inflicts extreme pain on the enemy)]

[Talent ②: Queens Domain (With herself as the center, all friendly units' movement speed increases by 20%, attack speed increases by 20%)]

[Satiety: 63]

[Loyalty: 57]

(This is a powerful Blood Spider Queen who once led an army of Blood Spiders to destroy an ancient race and turned them all into nourishment for the Blood Spider clan. If you can raise the Blood Spider Queen's tier to Commander-tier, she will usher in a stronger transformation.)

…

After reading the skills of this Blood Spider Queen, Cao Xing was extremely surprised.

Should he say she truly lived up to being a Boss-tier creature?

Being just a Tier 1 creature at Level 10, her attributes were even more formidable than the Tier 2 elite Rynis.

The 5 major skills and two major talents elevated her combat power and survivability to a terrifying extent.

Whether it was group attacks or single combat, the Blood Spider Queen's performance could be said to be impeccable.

And even more terrifyingly, she had a [Queens Will] skill that could increase movement speed by 50%. Combined with Cao Xing's [Eternal Power], it was equivalent to a permanent 50% increase in movement speed for all members.

Coupled with the [Queens Domain] bonus, it was a 70% movement speed bonus for everyone!

This was a huge boost!

The team's current speed in the snow was 40 kilometers per hour. With Hilda joining, the speed could reach 70 kilometers per hour!

Whether in combat or mobility, it was a qualitative change.

"These two skills are really great."

Furthermore, there was a prompt in the introduction of this Blood Spider Queen that elevating her to a Commander-tier creature would usher in an even stronger transformation.

Cao Xing pondered: "Above Boss-tier is the Commander-tier?"

However, this wasn't something to consider right now, because up until now, Cao Xing had never encountered a Commander-tier creature.

Moreover, although the Blood Spider Queen was powerful, her loyalty was also the lowest among the creatures summoned by Cao Xing.

It was only 57 points, not even reaching a passing level.

At this moment, Cao Xing directly took out a [Primary Heart of Power] and handed it to her.

Looking at the crimson crystal in Cao Xing's hand, a trace of unusual brilliance finally appeared in Hilda's slender eyes.

"Hilda, use it."

The Blood Spider Queen didn't speak; instead, she nodded slightly, took the Heart of Power, and directly crushed it.

A formidable power instantly erupted within her body.

Her advancement speed was extremely fast, without any lag at all, and she successfully evolved directly.

Hilda's bluish-purple lips moved slightly: "I feel that my power is gradually returning…"

[Your territory member: Hilda Bloodkiss advanced successfully, all attributes increased by 100%]

Hilda's strength surged once again.

However, even after accepting Cao Xing's Heart of Power, Hilda's loyalty still didn't increase at all.

Cao Xing frowned.

However, whatever, as long as she was willing to obey commands and fight, that was enough.

Loyalty could also be cultivated slowly.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing also called Ilena over.

Then he, Liu Muxue, and Ilena cast spells together.

A series of buffs were cast onto Hilda.

At this moment, a change finally appeared on Hilda's cold expression.

She looked at Cao Xing in surprise.

"This kind of power… even before I entered the summoning space, I had never seen it…"

"Is this your uniqueness?"

Cao Xing nodded.

There was a slight shock in Hilda's eyes, but she immediately returned to that arrogant look.

"Tch… Viewed this way, you, this lord, are not bad; you're not completely worthless."

Cao Xing was speechless. Before he could say much else, a system prompt appeared,

[You helped territory member: Hilda Bloodkiss improve her strength, loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 62]

Cao Xing was amused; it finally increased by 5 points of loyalty.

As expected, the [Eternal Power] talent was truly useful.

Even such an arrogant woman could be handled.

Then, he called Xia Yanni over as well.

At this moment, Xia Yanni was holding Tong Chuchu's small hand, timidly approaching Cao Xing and the others.

Especially Xia Yanni; she seemed to recall last night's events, and her face carried a strong sense of shyness.

At the same time, there was also a tingling sense of anticipation.

"My lord… did you call us?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yeah, did you learn the two skill books I gave you yesterday?"

Xia Yanni nodded gently, "I've already learned them."

"Good, then buff us now."

"And Chuchu, you buff us too."

Tong Chuchu nodded with an innocent smile, "Okay, Big Brother Cao Xing."

She had already heard from her mother that it was Cao Xing who came to help cure her high fever symptoms last night.

The little girl's gaze toward Cao Xing was also filled with gratitude.

The two of them simultaneously condensed a ball of power and began casting talents on Cao Xing.

[Territory member: Xia Yanni successfully cast [Hunter Perception] on you, hit rate increased by 10%, talent [Eternal Power] has taken effect.]

[Territory member: Tong Chuchu successfully cast [Firepower Amplification] on you, attack range increased by 10%, attack power increased by 10%, talent [Eternal Power] has taken effect.]

Cao Xing nodded, and then asked them to add buffs to all the other recruited creatures as well.

The two women immediately complied.

Taking advantage of the time they were applying buffs,

Cao Xing walked to the side of the Mammoth, took out [Specialized Pet Rations], and fed it a few pieces.

Dabai chewed them like beans, crunching them up, and swallowed all the rations into its belly.

A system prompt appeared.

[You successfully fed pet: Dabai, loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 100]

[Loyalty is full, unlocked new feature: Mount System]

"Moo——"

Dabai raised its trunk and let out a happy sound.

Cao Xing also smiled, and then he said, "Dabai, crouch down."

Dabai obediently bent its front hooves, and then Cao Xing stepped on the base of Dabai's leg and jumped straight up.

Then, Cao Xing looked at Muxue beside him and said, "Muxue, you come up too."

Liu Muxue's eyes carried a look of novelty.

She came to Dabai's side, then lightly stepped on the base of its leg, seemingly afraid of hurting Dabai.

However, what she didn't know was that the combined weight of the two of them was as easy as eating and drinking for Dabai.

As Dabai stood up, their line of sight instantly rose high.

"Ah…"

A soft cry escaped Liu Muxue's lips, and she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Cao Xing's waist.

At this moment, Cao Xing, sitting on Dabai's wide back, only felt that his field of vision was wide open.

Dabai's height of five meters was enough to take in everything before them at a glance.

"Whoohoo! The view is really great!"

Cao Xing was extremely excited.

He had really made it; he was now riding a Mammoth!

After experiencing the mount function, Cao Xing began to raise his staff to refresh the statuses on everyone.

Since Cao Xing's spirit had greatly increased, both [Ice Healing Art] and [Ice Armor Technique] needed to be reapplied.

Spending about twenty minutes, all territory members' statuses had reached a peak state.

Everyone's faces were filled with fighting spirit!

However, this time, Cao Xing did not send out all his subordinates.

Instead, he left behind two Centaurs and a few robots to help guard the territory.

To avoid insufficient territory combat power when encountering Ice Nest Monsters.

Leaving only Ilena behind to guard was still a bit weak.

Cao Xing instructed: "Kantor, Kandaer, guard our territory well."

"If you see an Ice Nest descending near the territory, don't rush to destroy it. Just crouch nearby, and kill the Ice Nest Monster the first time it comes out."

"Then uniformly collect the things dropped by the Ice Nest Monster."
