Chapter 113: Flatten the Territory and Snatch Their Arctic People!

Chapter 113: Flatten the Territory and Snatch Their Arctic People!

Under the blessing of a whole bunch of buffs,

the strength of these newcomers has been greatly enhanced.

Meanwhile, a series of loyalty-boosting system prompts appeared.

Their loyalty all rose above 70.

Their gazes looking at Cao Xing carried fanaticism!

The three Imperial Soldiers took the lead in dropping to one knee. "You are the lord with the most miraculous power I have ever seen. Even the emperors of Kaishan in the past did not have a lord as powerful as you under their command."

The Wild Boar Warrior raised its double blades high, looking at the various multiple shields and blessings on its body, its eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"This feeling is really great! I am full of strength!"

Cao Xing nodded, "So now, the team moves forward at full speed."

"Go collect some interest from those guys who dared to offend me."

"Plunder their supplies and snatch their Arctic People!"

The Wild Boar Warrior, Blitz, was the first to respond, "Flatten the territory, snatch their Arctic People!"

Listening to Cao Xing's bandit-like remarks, Liu Muxue couldn't help smiling behind him.

"Moo——"

Dabai spread its legs and began to sprint wildly in the snow.

At their current marching speed of nearly 60 kilometers per hour, it would only take a dozen minutes to reach the nearest territory.

Thud! Thud-thud!

The surrounding scenery retreated rapidly.

Tree branches, boulders, and even traps deeply buried in the snow were all trampled and burst apart by Dabai with a single kick.

Especially those hunting traps, after being stepped on by Dabai, only broke a layer of its Holy Shield.

Then they were ruthlessly crushed by Dabai.

The other recruited creatures followed closely behind, unimpeded all the way.

A dozen minutes later.

Cao Xing quickly saw the location of one of the camps.

There were only a sparse few buildings there, the Lords Cabin, Arctic People Cabin, Ore Processing Plant, and so on.

Even the bonfire was less than level 5.

Four Arctic People were still working diligently.

From afar, those few Arctic People also saw Cao Xing and the Blood Spider Queen sprinting over.

Sylvia said, "We have arrived, Lord. This is the territory of my former master."

Cao Xing nodded.

Then, just as they were about to enter the territory, the team stopped.

Cao Xing flipped down from the back of the Mammoth.

Inside the territory, the Arctic People stopped their work and looked at Cao Xing and the others in confusion.

However, these few Arctic People did not seem to feel fearful, and instead started chatting.

"Obido, this person seems to be another Chosen Lord. He looks much stronger than our lord."

"He even has a sacred Mammoth as a mount. Following such a lord will definitely lead to a good life."

The Arctic People next to him slapped him across the head.

"Stop talking nonsense! We can only pledge loyalty to Lord Zhang Wei and his family!"

"Do you want to violate the Lord Contract?"

The Arctic People was hit, hugged his head, and said with some grievance, "I was just saying it casually. Of course I know we must pledge loyalty to Lord Zhang Wei…"

Just then, another Arctic People said, "Stop arguing, look quickly, does this Chosen Lord want to come in?"

Hearing this, the other Arctic People also looked at Cao Xing's actions, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! This Chosen Lord must have something wrong with his brain. Doesn't he know that the territory of other Chosen Lords is sacred and inviolable?"

"Within the range of the bonfire, even gods cannot enter!"

The other Arctic People nodded and said, "That's right! Even gods cannot enter Lord Zhang Wei's territory!"

These Arctic People did not know that their lord had already been killed by Cao Xing, and this territory was now in an ownerless state.

Amidst the shocked gazes of that group of Arctic People,

Cao Xing stepped into the range of the bonfire unimpeded.

This scene directly subverted the cognition of this group of Arctic People!

The four Arctic People immediately exclaimed in disbelief.

"Earth Mother Goddess above! What am I seeing?"

"This Chosen Lord has entered the territory! Good heavens!"

"Could the territory's protection have failed?"

Not only that, as the Blood Spider Queen also entered the territory, that rich smell of blood frightened the group of Arctic People so much that their faces turned pale and they started sprinting wildly on their short legs.

Watching them scurrying around everywhere, Cao Xing couldn't help smiling.

Then, he said directly, "I am Cao Xing, the lord nearby. Anyone who doesn't want to die, behave yourselves."

Hearing Cao Xing's serious words, the four Arctic People running around the territory stopped.

They looked at Cao Xing with frightened expressions.

Cao Xing continued, "Your lord brought people to assassinate me today, but because he was too weak, I killed him."

"Now, his territorial property already belongs to me."

"Including you Arctic People, you now belong to me as well."

Hearing this, the four Arctic People looked at each other in dismay.

"Earth Mother Goddess above! Lord Zhang Wei is actually dead!"

"I said my eyelids were twitching non-stop this morning, and sure enough, something happened."

"Is Lord Zhang Wei's brain short-circuited? How dare he provoke such a powerful lord? This is simply an ant attempting to challenge a giant dragon!"

Without needing Cao Xing to say much more, all four Arctic People knelt and prostrated themselves.

"Powerful Lord, we are willing to work for you!"

Cao Xing nodded, "Very well, you guys wait outside for now."

Then, he bypassed these Arctic People and walked straight into this level 1 Lords Cabin.

Searching around inside, Cao Xing indeed found a storage box.

A system prompt appeared.

[Discovered the Relic box of lord 'Zhang Wei'. Do you want to open it?]

Cao Xing directly clicked to open it.

[Successfully opened.]

[Obtained Wood * 793]

[Obtained Stone * 341]

[Obtained Coal * 54]

[Obtained Food * 42]

[Obtained Primary Sled Crafting Blueprint * 1]

[Obtained Primary Elemental Crystal * 12]

[Obtained Ice Crystal Stone * 8]

[Obtained Rotten Meat of Unknown Creature * 6]

…

These were all the resources in Zhang Wei's territory.

Compared to the supplies in Cao Xing's territory that were about to fill two storage boxes,

these things couldn't even compare to a fraction of his.

However, that [Primary Sled Crafting Blueprint] was still pretty good.

It was estimated that Zhang Wei wanted to use it to trade for some resources, but before he had time to trade, he was killed by Cao Xing.

After receiving the resources of the territory,

a system prompt appeared.

[Discovered an ownerless territory. Do you want to occupy it and make it your second territory?]

(The second territory also has building permissions, and you can abandon it at any time.)

…

"The second territory?"

Although Cao Xing didn't have this idea for now, whatever, occupy it first and talk later.

[Occupation successful. You can now upgrade the bonfire and build new buildings in this area.]

Cao Xing walked out of the Lords Cabin.

Then he had Hilda cast [Queens Will] on these four Arctic People.

He remounted the Mammoth and announced, "Continue moving forward, target the second territory!"

Thud! Thud-thud!

Dabai spread its legs and sprinted wildly again.

The four Arctic People also followed the Mammoth, sprinting wildly in the snow.

However, even with the bonus of Hilda's [Queens Will], the running speed of these Arctic People was only about 30 kilometers per hour.

There was no helping this, Cao Xing currently had no means of transportation.

After going back, he would have to find a way to build the sled first.

The team moved forward all the way.

And during the journey, a white light suddenly appeared on Liu Muxue's body.

The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Liu Muxue said pleasantly, "Axing, I've reached level 10 and grabbed the reward for second place!"

Cao Xing was stunned. They hadn't fought at all and had been in a state of traveling.

Judging by this, it must be that other subordinates were fighting and brought them a large amount of experience.

Cao Xing opened the system interface and scrolled through the combat information.

He quickly saw a long string of kill information.

[Your territory member: Kantor killed Ice Nest Monster lv5, gained 50 experience points]

[Combatants gained experience points: 25 points]

[Your territory member: Kandaer killed Ice Nest Monster lv4, gained 40 experience points]

[Combatants gained experience points: 20 points.]

[Your…]

Cao Xing chuckled, "These two Centaurs did a good job. They actually managed to find an Ice Nest!"

Calculated by 500 monsters appearing in one Ice Nest, besides the killer, Cao Xing, Liu Muxue, and even Hilda and others…

could all share more than 10,000 experience points.

This was all free experience points!

Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh, "An SSS-rank talent is really fierce. This time, you can really level up just by lying down!"

…

Meanwhile,

in the chat channel of District 174, seeing that the reward for second place was also claimed, the Survivors immediately let out a chorus of boos.

Pei Hongxu: "As expected, nobody can snatch the first and second places except Great Lord Cao Xing and Goddess Muxue."

Qiu Qinghong: "Yeah, I just reached level 5 today and barely made it into the top twenty. Now the top ten are all at least level 6."

"Our District 174 has quite a few capable people, but compared to Great Lord Cao Xing and Goddess Muxue, the gap is simply too huge."

Wuxing Hu: "Everyone, I am Wuxing Hu of Hutang. Today I will share a little trick with you on how to farm Ice Nest Monsters to level up."

"If you discover an Ice Nest near your territory, do not rush to destroy it. You can first dig a trench near the Ice Nest, and then set up some simple spiked traps."

"Of course, you can also let the Arctic People dig a deep pit and set up some traps at the bottom of the pit as well."

"Then, by luring the Ice Nest Monsters over in waves, you can easily wipe them out."

"However, you need to be aware that level 10 elite monsters might appear inside. In that case, I suggest you run back to your territory immediately."

Hearing Wu Xinghu's reminder, the other Survivors pondered for a moment, and then were suddenly startled.

"Holy crap… This method actually seems viable!"

"If we can wipe out the monsters of an entire Ice Nest, that's at least ten to twenty thousand EXP!"

"No wonder Bigshot Wu Xinghu reached level 7; so he used this method."

"Thanks, Bigshot Wu Xinghu!"

Compared to the other two factions in District 174, this Wu Xinghu's reputation was much better than Zhou Bo and Fang Long's.

The Survivors successively expressed their gratitude to him.

"Brothers, I'm going out to check if there are any Ice Nests outside my territory!"

"I'm going too. Coincidentally, I have two soldiers under me with no food to feed them. The materials dropped from killing these Ice Nest Monsters can also be traded with Great Lord Cao Xing for food."

"Come on, everyone, strive to survive until tomorrow!"

"That's right, we must also work hard and strive to survive after the novice protection period is lifted tomorrow!"

The Survivors of District 174 were brimming with high fighting spirit.

…

Meanwhile, Liu Muxue also received the system prompt and obtained the reward for second place on the leaderboard.

A Tier 2 random creature recruitment scroll, a primary Heart of Power, and a blue weapon.

However, these rewards did not provide much of an upgrade for her.

Furthermore, Cao Xing also gave the level 10 blue weapon [Ice Crystal Sword] from his backpack to Liu Muxue.

"Muxue, equip this, and then equip your golden shield."

"Then, directly use that Heart of Power to advance immediately."

Liu Muxue nodded excitedly.

Because in this way, she would also welcome a massive upgrade, which could be called a qualitative change!

Liu Muxue first equipped the [Ice Crystal Sword (Blue)], and then equipped the [Paladin Shield (Gold)], causing all her stats to surge by a large margin!

Then, she took out the primary Heart of Power and directly made a breakthrough.

Pure power merged into her body.

Not long after, the aura on Liu Muxue underwent a certain change.

It seemed to become more condensed and possessed a sense of holiness.

A cluster of colorful Aurora appeared behind her.

At this moment, Liu Muxue seemed like a holy goddess.

The Arctic People following closely behind the team were panting heavily.

And when they saw Liu Muxue on the back of the Mammoth, they immediately exclaimed in shock.

"The Earth Mother Goddess is above, it is like I have seen a true goddess descend!"

"I saw it too, this female lord's radiance is simply too dazzling…"

Moments later, Liu Muxue opened her eyes, and that holy and inviolable feeling gradually dissipated.

She said with a joyful smile on her face: "It succeeded, A-Xing!"

Cao Xing also smiled and said: "Congratulations."

Then, he took a look at Liu Muxue's stats.

[Survivor: Liu Muxue]

[Level: Level 10 174 / 10000 (Tier 2)]

[Detailed Stats: Click to view]

…

Over three thousand health points, over two hundred armor—this was simply too overpowered!

Cao Xing sighed incessantly.

Even with his current attack power, he couldn't deal much damage to Liu Muxue.

As for those Survivors below Tier 1, it would merely tickle her.

Moreover, the crucial point was that Liu Muxue's mental power and physique had both broken through the triple digits, even higher than Cao Xing's.

In other words, when casting those buff state skills, she could bring even greater enhancements to Cao Xing and his subordinates.

According to her current stats, a Blessing of Courage could increase attack power by at least over a hundred, terrifyingly powerful!

Furthermore, on Liu Muxue's newly equipped Paladin Shield, there was also a group special effect: [Knight's Blessing]

This special effect could attach a layer of shield worth 20% of health to all allies.

In other words, besides the 3 layers of Holy Shield, Cao Xing now had an extra layer of shield with over 600 health points.

Cao Xing was overjoyed.

Liu Muxue's current equipment quality was already higher than Cao Xing's.

"A-Xing, this is for you."

Liu Muxue handed the recruitment scroll in her hand to him.

Cao Xing didn't decline either. Anyway, the two of them belonged to the same territory, so whoever summoned it made no difference.

[Obtained Random Tier 2 Creature Recruitment Scroll * 1]

Cao Xing glanced at the scroll's stats; it could directly summon a creature above level 10.

However, it was only of common grade, not considered all that powerful.

Cao Xing directly put it into his backpack.

"Dabai, keep moving forward."

The Mammoth continued to sprint wildly.

Not long after, a white light appeared successively on Cao Xing and Hilda.

A system prompt appeared.

[Your level has increased, current level: Level 11]

[Gained from this level up: Strength +3, Agility +4, Spirit +6, Physique +4]

"Woohoo! I've also reached level 11!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed!

Although after reaching level 10, the EXP required for each subsequent level-up was in the tens of thousands.

But Cao Xing had an SSS-rank talent!

As long as his subordinates were fighting, he could share the EXP.

Furthermore, after reaching level 10, every level-up granted greater stat increases.

At this time, the Blood Spider Queen also noticed that although she clearly hadn't done anything, she could feel a surge of power continuously pouring into her body.

It even directly raised her to level 11.

Hilda licked her dark purple lips and asked: "Is this your power?"

Cao Xing nodded.

"Unimaginable mighty power. In the near future, perhaps you can truly become a great lord."

[Your territory member: Hilda Bloodkiss feels admiration towards your power, loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 67]

Cao Xing chuckled; this proud queen had once again increased her loyalty.

Although not much, it was a good sign.

This showed that even someone as proud as Hilda would show loyalty to Cao Xing.

They continued to hurry on their way.

About twenty minutes later.

Cao Xing arrived near the second territory.

The four Arctic People were panting heavily from exhaustion.

"Hoo… Hoo…"

"I… I can't run anymore…"

"Although this Blood Spider lady's power can make us run faster, it consumes too much stamina…"

"The Arctic People are so hungry, we are about to collapse from exhaustion…"

Hearing this, Cao Xing took out two roasted rabbits from his backpack.

"You've worked hard. Eat something first to replenish your stamina."

The four Arctic People looked at the rabbit meat in Cao Xing's hands, their eyes instantly shining brightly.

"Oh! It's actually meat! Goodness! What a fragrant smell!"

"I feel like eating a piece would let me run fifty kilometers directly!"

"I can run a hundred kilometers!"

Cao Xing smiled and directly tossed those two rabbits to them.

The four Arctic People wolfed down the food and instantly became full of vitality again.

Then, Cao Xing began to observe the environment of the second territory.

This was the former territory of the Wild Boar Warrior Blitz.

Located in a forest with several animal traps placed around it, it looked a bit better developed than Zhang Wei's territory.

At least here, wood resources wouldn't be lacking.

Moreover, besides the 4 Arctic People, this lord had also left a level 5 Imperial Archer at home.

Because he didn't want to waste time, Cao Xing directly led the Mammoth to charge into the territory.

Rumble! Rumbling!

An earth-shaking momentum washed over.

The Arctic People in the territory panicked and scurried around like headless flies.

Seeing someone invading, this archer attempted to attack, but was hit by a web spat out by Hilda and firmly trapped on the ground.

"Sarah, keep an eye on him. If he dares to resist, wipe him out directly."

Sarah appeared silently from the darkness, and then placed the Shadow Blade on this Imperial Archer's neck.

In an instant, all the Arctic People in this territory were too frightened to move.

As for Cao Xing, he walked straight into the Lords Cabin in the territory.

[Discovered Lord: Chen Xiaoping's Relic Box, open it?]

"Yes."
