Chapter 110: Slaughter, Fang Long's Camp Coordinates

"Bang! Bang, bang!"

Dabai rampaged through.

Its giant nose swung wildly.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Sound after sound of flesh being struck echoed out.

The Survivors of the Three Heroes Association were swept away in swathes.

Not only that, Dabai also charged directly next to the Hunters, helping Renice and Assam deal with the enemies in front of them.

Meanwhile.

Blood Spider Queen Hilda and the Frost Wolf also joined the fray one after another.

Hilda licked her dark purple lips. "Just summoned, and I already get to start a slaughter?"

"I like it~"

The next moment, the Blood Spider Queen shook her abdomen, and a swarm of head-sized, blood-red Blood Spiders instantly appeared.

These Blood Spiders moved incredibly fast, numbering as many as twenty to thirty.

In a very short time, they rushed onto the battlefield.

They even crawled onto the Survivors and their recruited creatures.

"Ah! What the hell are these things?"

"Get these damn spiders off me!"

They frantically attacked the Blood Spiders on their bodies.

However, the moment those Blood Spiders' health hit zero, their abdomens suddenly swelled.

"Pop! Pop, pop, pop!"

Bursts of blood exploded.

As the blood splattered onto the Survivors' skin, it immediately made a sizzling sound.

Before long, it melted their skin and flesh, exposing the ghastly white bones beneath!

Terrifying, intense pain eroded the nerves of these Survivors.

"Ah!! It hurts so much!"

"Heal me! Heal me, quick!"

"Knight! Where is the Knight? Cast Holy Heal on me!"

Although the Blood Poison status could be dispelled by a Purify spell, there were simply too many self-detonating little spiders.

Not only that.

The Blood Spider Queen nearby raised her abdomen again.

"Pfft! Pfft, pfft!"

Three consecutive globs of corrosive blood sprayed out, instantly drenching several Survivors in the liquid, which was even more terrifying than concentrated sulfuric acid.

"Ah!!"

Hair-raising screams echoed continuously.

Even the Hoge Village Militia and villagers watching from afar turned pale.

With Dabai and Hilda joining, the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.

This time, the group of Survivors, along with their recruited creatures and the Hunters, numbered over a hundred in total.

Yet, such a powerful force was easily dismantled by Cao Xing.

With the crisis resolved on Cao Xing's side.

Liu Muxue's tense body gradually relaxed. Her legs trembled slightly, and her face was somewhat pale.

Cao Xing encouraged her, "Muxue, you did well just now."

Liu Muxue nodded gently.

She hadn't had time to think about anything else earlier; her mind had only one thought: she had to block those people's attacks for Cao Xing.

Thinking back on it now, Liu Muxue couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

But through this experience, she had also grown significantly.

At this moment, Cao Xing glanced at the other areas of the battlefield.

Sarah's battle was also nearing its end. She had whittled the health of the three assassins down to less than one-fifth.

These three assassins were the ones who had launched the initial attack.

Cao Xing glanced at their attributes.

[Hunter Assassin Captain Lv22]

[Rank: Tier 3 Elite Creature]

[HP: 3341/13780]

[Attack Power: 794–841]

[Skills: Backstab, Eviscerate, Stealth, Throwing Dagger]

[Talent: None]

…

[Hunter Assassin Lv21]

[Rank: Tier 3 Common Creature]

[HP: 1674/10260]

[Attack Power: 633–651]

[Skills: Backstab, Stealth, Throwing Dagger]

[Talent: None]

…

"My word, three Tier 3 assassins, and one of them is even a Tier 3 Elite."

"How on earth did Fang Long convince this group of Hunters to target me?"

This filled Cao Xing with intense curiosity.

He planned to leave a few alive to interrogate them.

Meanwhile, Sarah demonstrated the terrifying power of a Tier 3 Boss-tier assassin!

A dark shadow swept past, carrying a cold gleam.

[Arc Flash]!

Swish! Swish, swish!

[-1754]

[-2141]

[-3375!]

Three terrifying damage numbers popped up.

One of the common Tier 3 assassins died on the spot.

[Your territory member, Sarah Blade Dance, has killed Hunter Assassin Lv22, gaining 880 EXP.]

[Combatants gain 440 EXP.]

Meanwhile.

On Assam and Renice's side, coordinating with Dabai, they also unleashed a frenzy of attacks, slaying Hunter after Hunter.

[Your territory member, Assam, has killed Hunter Scout Lv16, gaining 180 EXP.]

[Your territory member, Renice Hawkeye, has killed Hunter Axeman Lv15, gaining 150 EXP.]

[Your pet, Dabai, has killed Hunter Scout Lv17, gaining EXP…]

…

Kill notifications popped up one after another.

Most of the Hunters had already been slain, along with that group of Survivors.

Dozens of corpses were already piled up on this street.

Cao Xing quickly called out, "Don't kill all of those recruited creatures. Just beat them within an inch of their lives."

Hearing this, Assam and the others, who had been slaughtering non-stop, slowed down their offensive pace slightly.

Seeing their companions fall, the remaining two Hunter Assassins realized that today's operation had failed.

From beneath the mask of the Elite-tier assassin came a raspy female voice.

"The operation failed, retreat!"

At her command, the remaining Hunters on the field prepared to abandon their current opponents.

However, how could Cao Xing possibly let them leave?

"Detain these Hunters, don't let a single one escape!"

"Hilda, use Soul Screech!"

Hilton, who was nearby, obeyed the command and immediately unleashed an area-of-effect crowd control skill.

"Yaaah!!"

A terrifying screech turned into an invisible soundwave, spreading across the entire street.

The enemies who heard this screech instantly showed looks of terror in their eyes.

It was as if they saw visions of their own deaths!

Seizing this opportunity.

Sarah slashed at the other Tier 3 assassin beside her without hesitation.

Splat!

[-2144]

A bloody gash instantly appeared on the assassin's neck, and they died on the spot.

At this time.

Cao Xing was also raising his staff, continuously killing the group of Survivors.

He alternated between Great Ice Spear, Ice Spike, and Frostball.

Cao Xing was now a Tier 2 Frost Mage after all, and he had quite a bit of gear on him.

With his current attack power, it took at most two skills to take a life.

[Killed Survivor: Zhongzong Jiang Lv4]

[Killed Survivor: Nie Zeng Lv5]

[Killed Survivor…]

"Ah! Don't kill me!"

"I was wrong! Please spare me!"

"Mercy! Mercy, please!"

Screams rang out continuously.

More cold corpses piled up on the ground.

This was not a game world, but real death.

For these guys, Cao Xing felt no pity whatsoever.

They had come to kill him in the first place. If Cao Xing hadn't been so powerful,

the corpse lying on the ground right now would have been his.

As the screams grew weaker and weaker,

the battle here also neared its end.

Fewer and fewer figures remained standing.

The remaining few Empire Soldiers, Archers, and Mage Apprentices trembled in fear.

Their masters had long been slain by Cao Xing's subordinates. Seeing Hilda and Dabai showing off their formidable power, they didn't dare make a single move.

With cold eyes, Sarah engaged in another clash with the Elite Assassin.

The opponent was covered in bloody gashes, and her health had dropped below 1,000.

Sarah prepared to swing her blade one last time to end her opponent's life.

The assassin's eyes also showed a readiness to die.

Just then, Cao Xing suddenly said, "Sarah, stop. Leave her alive."

Sarah instantly halted her movement.

However, the Hunter Assassin, who had thought she was a goner, suddenly saw Sarah stop and thought she had a chance to survive.

Just as she was about to flee,

"Hilda, trap her."

The Blood Spider Queen looked thoroughly disgusted. "Tch… my cobwebs aren't meant for trapping such ants!"

With that, she threw a web directly over, completely enveloping the assassin.

Cao Xing rolled his eyes at this duplicitous queen.

Trapped in the web, the Tier 3 Elite Assassin still tried to use her dagger to cut through Hilda's web.

Right at that moment, Cao Xing spoke up, "If you make one more move, I'll kill you on the spot."

Hearing the threat, the assassin gradually ceased her movements.

Cao Xing also glanced at the battle behind him.

Currently on the field, only a few scattered Hunters were still resisting.

As for the Three Heroes Association, only the last seven or eight Survivors remained.

They kept raising their weapons, trying to inflict damage on everyone with their pitiful attack power.

Yet when they hit Dabai and Hilda, they only dealt single-digit damage, sometimes failing even to break through their defense.

Only now did they realize how massive the gap between them and Cao Xing truly was.

One of the Survivors broke down and cried, "Damn it!"

"Fang Long sent us to deal with Cao Xing, but why didn't he find out his strength beforehand? Why did he make us fight a monster like this?"

[part:gemini-3.5-flash-lite]

"The gap is simply too huge! Even if we called another hundred people, we still couldn't take him down!"

"We are completely no match for him, Fang Long is out of his mind!"

"My whole family was killed, Fang Long, I hate you!!!"

Resentment appeared in the eyes of these Survivors.

Some resented Fang Long, while others resented Great Lord Cao Xing.

But for Great Lord Cao Xing, his heart remained completely unfazed.

If they want to blame someone, they should blame themselves for following the wrong person.

And right at this moment, one of the Survivors directly dropped their weapon, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy, "Great Lord Cao Xing, we were blind and overestimated our own abilities by trying to deal with you."

"Please spare us this time. Once we go back, we will definitely quit the Three Heroes Association and turn over a new leaf from now on!"

Another Survivor also pleaded, "Great Lord Cao Xing, you have already killed my wife, and I still have two children in my territory. Please spare me and let me go back to take care of my children!"

"Great Lord Cao Xing, please spare us!"

The remaining few Survivors also begged incessantly.

However, Great Lord Cao Xing directly gave the order, "Leave only two living captives, kill all the others."

Hearing the order from Great Lord Cao Xing.

Assam and Renis showed no hesitation at all.

Having entered the summoning space, they were already battle-hardened warriors who had seen plenty of such scenes.

Therefore, they didn't hold back at all.

"Puff! Puff, puff, puff!"

Splashes of blood drifted into the air.

The Hunters were practically wiped out, and the Survivors along with their summoned creatures were mostly slaughtered.

In the end, only two shivering guys remained, lying in pools of blood.

"Assam, Renis, tie these two fellows up."

"If you see their mouths moving or their fingers twitching, finish them off immediately."

To prevent them from contacting Fang Long and leaking the news here, Great Lord Cao Xing gave strict instructions.

Hearing this, Assam immediately placed his longsword against their necks, and Renis also drew her bowstring, ready to instantly dispatch them at any moment.

Those two Survivors didn't dare to make any movement now, shrinking on the ground without daring to budge.

As for Great Lord Cao Xing, he walked directly to the side of the Tier 3 Elite Assassin and asked, "Who sent you to kill me?"

The assassin remained silent, seeming completely unprepared to compromise.

"Sarah, cut open her mask for me."

Swish!

Sarah waved the Shadow Blade without hesitation.

The mask was sliced open, revealing the face of a Western woman in her twenties with fairly decent facial features.

Her eyes carried a cold expression.

Great Lord Cao Xing continued, "I'll ask you again, who sent you to kill me?"

However, this elite assassin still refused to speak.

Hilda walked over and said, "Would you like me to try?"

Great Lord Cao Xing looked at Hilda, who wore an eager-to-try expression.

Great Lord Cao Xing nodded.

The next moment, Hilda chuckled softly and directly extended her finger, spurting out a cluster of liquid carrying Blood Poison.

The blood fell onto the elite assassin's abdomen, instantly corroding the clothes on her body and revealing a patch of fair skin.

"Sizzle, sizzle…"

Not only that, this drop of blood rapidly burned her skin, searing her flesh until it festered.

The elite assassin furrowed her brows tightly, seemingly enduring an unimaginable, excruciating pain.

Above her head, damage values of [-10], [-10] continuously popped up.

With just a single drop of blood possessing such strong corrosive effects, one could only imagine how painful it must be for those whose entire bodies were stained with Blood Poison.

As time passed, the pain felt by the assassin grew increasingly intense; her lips turned pale, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

Great Lord Cao Xing asked once more, "Still refusing to talk?"

However, this elite assassin still clenched her teeth tightly, letting the Blood Poison erode her skin.

Hilda sneered disdainfully, "Hmph! Seems like you have a hard mouth, huh?"

"Well, you better keep that hard mouth all the way. Next, I'll smear the Blood Poison on your face, then your eyes, and finally your heart…"

"I hope you can hold out until the very last stage."

An intoxicated expression appeared on the face of the Blood Spider Queen; she seemed to thoroughly revel in such torturous scenes.

Hearing this, not only this elite assassin,

but even the seven or eight captured recruited creatures in the back and the two Survivors felt a shudder run through their entire bodies!

A flash of hesitation appeared on the elite assassin's face, but she still turned her head to the side, radiating an aura of absolute defiance even in death.

Naturally, the Blood Spider Queen did not hesitate at all; she directly flicked out two drops of blood, which landed on the woman's face.

Sizzle… sizzle, sizzle…

Before long, the skin on her face was corroded, exposing scarlet flesh.

"Ugh…"

The terrifying pain caused her to continuously emit miserable groans.

An intoxicated expression surfaced on the Blood Spider Queen's face.

As she successively flicked out drops of blood that landed on the elite assassin's body,

this female assassin began to tremble all over due to the excruciating pain.

Just as the Blood Spider Queen was about to burn her eyes,

a crazy expression appeared on the female assassin's face. "Just kill me! I won't tell you anything! You heretics, when the God of Light descends upon the world once more, all of you shall suffer the divine sanction!"

"Haha! Hahahahaha!"

Great Lord Cao Xing furrowed his brow.

Seeing that this elite assassin had been eroded from head to toe by the Blood Poison and her HP had dropped to the minimum,

he knew that the other party wouldn't talk.

Thus, Great Lord Cao Xing condensed a Great Ice Spear and thrust it directly forward.

Puff!

[-113]

Although reduced by the opponent's defense, it still dealt decent damage.

The opponent's HP was reduced to zero.

[Successfully killed Hunter Assassin: Level 22 Elite creature, killed a monster above your level, obtained EXP: 1320 * 200%]

[Combatants obtain half EXP.]

At this moment, following the death of this elite assassin,

Great Lord Cao Xing came over to the side of the other two Survivors.

He glanced at the information above their heads.

One was named Qi Shaoliang, and the other was named Du Baichuan.

Great Lord Cao Xing asked directly, "You two, do you want to die or live?"

Having witnessed the terrifying scene when the Blood Spider Queen tortured people, these two Survivors nodded like pounding garlic one after another.

"We want to live! We want to live!"

They were terrified that the Blood Spider Queen would use the exact same methods on them.

That was simply worse than death!

Great Lord Cao Xing nodded. "Now then, I ask, you answer."

"Did Fang Long send you guys over?"

"Yes! Yes!" the two Survivors replied hurriedly.

Great Lord Cao Xing continued to ask, "Do you know what's going on with these guys?"

Among them, the Survivor named Qi Shaoliang said, "I know, it seems Fang Long was the one who had them come over."

Great Lord Cao Xing was taken aback, "This Fang Long has such great pull that he can even get such high-level Hunters to kill me?"

Qi Shaoliang hurriedly said, "I don't know the specific details either. I only know that Fang Long seemed to have made a deal with that group of Hunters!"

"I even saw that group of Hunters enter Fang Long's territory and move in and out freely."

Hearing this, Great Lord Cao Xing became pensive.

A deal?

What could Fang Long possibly have that would tempt these Hunters?

Could it be that he gave his own territory to that group of Hunters?

Great Lord Cao Xing's heart stirred.

That was entirely possible!

Through this period of development, he already knew that in the eyes of the indigenous people, their territories were very miraculous things.

If Fang Long managed to invite the Hunters to kill him by offering his territory to that group of cultists, it might actually be possible.

Great Lord Cao Xing nodded. "Last question."

"Do you know the coordinates of Fang Long's territory?"

Hearing this question, the two Survivors exchanged glances once again.

They seemed to realize something.

Fang Long was probably going to be in trouble!

Qi Shaoliang asked with some hesitation, "If we tell you, can you let us go?"

Great Lord Cao Xing nodded, "I can consider it."

"However, you must answer together. If I find any discrepancy in your coordinate locations, I will kill both of you without the slightest hesitation."

Previously, Great Lord Cao Xing had tricked Fang Long using fake coordinates.

Naturally, he wouldn't fall for that himself here.

A surge of intense joy appeared on the faces of the two.

Speaking in unison, they hurriedly reported the exact same coordinate location.

Great Lord Cao Xing nodded and immediately opened the map to check based on these coordinates.

He discovered that it wasn't too far from his current location—about seventy kilometers away, and one hundred kilometers away from his own territory.

With his current movement speed, he could arrive in a little over two hours.

Great Lord Cao Xing already had a plan in mind.

It just so happened that the beginner protection period was coming to an end.

Then tomorrow, he would just go and wipe out Fang Long's territory.

Having such a grudge-holding fellow惦记ing (keeping tabs on) him was uncomfortable anyway.

…
