Chapter 119: Ice Nest Monsters Attack, Arrow Towers Steamroll!

Chapter 119: Ice Nest Monsters Attack, Arrow Towers Steamroll!

After reading these updates, Cao Xing already had a plan in mind.

"Very well. Since the exchange shop rewards are so bountiful this time, there is no rush to exchange for the Silver Treasure Chest."

"I will save up the Ice Dragon Marks first, strive to exchange for a few gold treasure chests, and then use the remaining Ice Dragon Marks to exchange for blueprints!"

At the same time, not only Cao Xing, but almost all the Survivors saw the game update.

The chat channels were completely in chaos.

The World Channel was refreshing with a massive amount of information every second.

The same was true for District 174 where Cao Xing was located.

Jiang Guoxu: "Holy crap! The territory protection has disappeared, and the environment has become much more realistic, but my territory is on a 9,000-meter-high mountain peak! A gust of wind blew and directly flipped over my Lords Cabin!"

Zhang Zhentian: "My condolences to the brother upstairs. I am just as miserable as hell. As soon as the territory protection period ended, a troll rushed into my territory and started destroying everything wildly. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been smashed into meat paste just like those Arctic People!"

Lou Hongyan: "Oh my god! Two Ice Nests crashed near my territory! So many monsters have appeared, help me!"

Youn: "Hey upstairs, don't just yell. Report your coordinates and see if there are any brothers nearby who can save you."

Gao Qu: "Hahaha! The territory protection has finally ended. Wang Ru, you bitch, how dare you cheat on me? I am going to kill your entire family!"

Xiong Tianyou: "I am a 176-cm college guy, are there any good brothers whose territories are willing to take me in?"

…

Seeing these people's statements, a look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's heart.

Many Survivors encountered various crises due to the changes in the game.

They were all asking others for help.

Cao Xing suddenly remembered that Ji Xinyue had contacted him yesterday, saying that she was entangled by a group of vengeful spirits.

Furthermore, she requested Cao Xing to help her with a quest.

Moreover, Ji Xinyue's situation seemed very bad.

He wondered if she had already kicked the bucket after passing a whole night.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing sent a private message, "Are you still alive?"

He went straight to the point.

A moment later, a voice message was sent over.

After clicking play, a female voice filled with helplessness and a hint of decadence rang out.

"Great Lord Cao Xing, do you want me to die that badly?"

It was very soft, and the voice was quite pleasant to the ear.

Cao Xing chuckled and replied with a message: "That's not it. It's mainly because the situation you told me about yesterday was too serious, making me think you had already kicked the bucket today."

Ji Xinyue was silent for a moment, then replied: "I don't know what happened either…"

"Those undead were still wandering in the snow in the middle of the night, and I thought that as soon as dawn broke, I would be done for."

"As a result, I didn't expect that those undead would leave as soon as dawn broke."

"Although I don't know if they will come again tonight, fortunately, I have lived for another day…"

Speaking of this, Ji Xinyue tentatively asked: "Great Lord Cao Xing, can you come today?"

Her tone carried a bit of yearning.

During the days she was entangled by this group of undead, Ji Xinyue had not slept well for a single day, feeling like she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

To be honest, he was indeed very interested in this quest. After all, it was related to an ancient underground catacomb, and there were sealed treasures buried beneath.

Moreover, Cao Xing had another matter to attend to today.

That was to take advantage of the end of the newbie protection period and go flatten Fang Long's territory.

Cao Xing thought to himself: "Fang Long this guy definitely has to be wiped out. However, based on what those two Survivors said, he might have traded his territory to a Hunter."

"And the Hunter's faction is massive, and their strength should not be underestimated."

"Last time, in order to kill me, they even dispatched a Tier 3 elite assassin."

"In other words, there might be even stronger Hunters in Fang Long's territory."

Although, given Cao Xing's current strength, as long as he didn't encounter powerhouses above Tier 3, he was confident he could take them down.

But things are always afraid of unexpected accidents.

Just in case there were powerhouses exceeding Tier 3 in Fang Long's territory, if Cao Xing crashed straight into them, it would truly be courting death.

After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing decided to go to Ji Xinyue's side first to finish the quest, see if he could boost his strength a wave, and then figure out a way to flatten Fang Long's territory.

Thinking of this, he already had a plan for today's actions.

He directly replied: "I know. I will come find you today."

Upon receiving Cao Xing's reply, Ji Xinyue was instantly overjoyed!

"That's fantastic! Thank you, Great Lord Cao Xing. You are the savior of my entire family!"

Cao Xing smiled. "Don't be happy too early. We might not necessarily be able to complete that quest."

"Let's make it clear first. If that demon is too powerful, I will directly take my people and run away."

Hearing Cao Xing's reply, Ji Xinyue was not angry at all. Instead, she said matter-of-factly: "That is only natural. I am already infinitely grateful that Great Lord Cao Xing can come."

"If it really doesn't work out, I can only consider myself out of luck."

She was quite open-minded about it, and Cao Xing couldn't help but look at this woman with a bit more respect.

After hanging up the communication, Cao Xing was just about to patrol the territory.

Just at this moment, two violent crashing sounds suddenly rang in his ears.

"Boom! Boom!"

The entire territory shook.

Cao Xing realized that Ice Nests might have appeared outside his territory again.

"Alert!"

Following Cao Xing's warning shout, all the combat personnel in the territory rushed out of their rooms at the first instance.

They all made preparations for battle one after another.

Liu Muxue beside him said worriedly: "A-Xing, what happened?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it's probably another Ice Nest crashing down. Let's go out and take a look."

The two quickly arrived at the edge of the territory, then climbed up the city wall via the wall ladder.

The elementary city wall was fully 40 centimeters thick, which was more than enough for a person to stand on.

And as the city wall continuously upgraded, this width would also continue to increase.

Later on, they could even directly place various turrets, catapults, and other large siege equipment.

By then, it wouldn't be a territory anymore, but a fortress of war.

At the same time, not only Cao Xing.

The other combat personnel also climbed up the city wall one after another.

Their gazes were all locked onto the snowfield a few hundred meters away.

Two Ice Nests nearly two meters tall smashed giant craters five to six meters deep into the ground.

Then, Ice Nest Monsters with ice thorns stuck on their bodies and resembling hyenas walked out from inside.

They sniffed around in the snow, and quickly locked onto Cao Xing's territory.

"Woo… roar!"

Waves of low roars came over. A dozen or so Ice Nest Monsters charged toward the territory like rabid hounds.

At the same time, the Imperial Archers standing on the watchtowers wore nervous expressions and quickly drew their bowstrings.

Liu Muxue also gripped her shield, then asked: "A-Xing, do we need to go down and fight?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said: "No need. They are just some Tier 1 Ice Nest Monsters, they don't require us to make a move yet."

"Rest assured, they won't even be able to get close to our territory."

Hearing these words, Liu Muxue also gradually set her mind at ease.

Sure enough, when those Ice Nest Monsters approached within a range of about six hundred meters of the territory.

In an instant, at least seven Basic Elemental Arrow Towers sensed them.

Then, arrows were shot out from the tops of the Elemental Arrow Towers.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

[-247]

[-264]

[-258]

[-263]

Seven damage numbers appeared.

Given the just over five hundred health points of these Ice Nest Monsters.

A single wave of concentrated fire from two Elemental Arrow Towers could directly instantly kill one Ice Nest Monster.

As for Cao Xing's territory, after working overtime last night, the number of Elemental Arrow Towers had already reached 13!

Although due to distance settings, only half of the arrow towers could attack the Ice Nest Monsters in this direction.

But it was still enough to steamroll them.

"Awooo!"

Waves of miserable cries came over.

With the first wave down, three or four Ice Nest Monsters directly died.

And the Elemental Arrow Towers had an attack interval of 2.5 seconds.

Given the burst speed of these Ice Nest Monsters, this time could at most allow them to sprint about 80 meters.

In other words, if they wanted to reach the base of the city wall, they would have to endure four to five waves of attacks from the Elemental Arrow Towers…

Clearly, before these Ice Nest Monsters could even get close to the city wall, they would be completely wiped out by the attacks of the Elemental Arrow Towers.

Da Zhuang and the others had also woken up long ago. Feeling that violent vibration, they also realized that monsters might have appeared outside the territory.

Therefore, they cautiously climbed up the city wall and then saw the scene before them.

With a pleasantly surprised look on his face, Da Zhuang shouted loudly: "Come and look!"

"Our territory is so powerful! Those monsters can't even reach the foot of the city wall, Hahaha!"

Da Zhuang laughed happily.

Hearing his call, more and more territory residents also squeezed onto the city wall and began to watch the spectacle.

Cao Xing did not stop them either. He was still thinking of relying on these residents to activate a few more hidden titles.

They also saw this scene.

One braying, ferocious Ice Nest Monster after another was ruthlessly blasted apart by the Elemental Arrow Towers.

Even those powerful warriors and the archers on the watchtowers didn't need to make a move.

For a moment, excited expressions appeared in the eyes of all the residents, and morale skyrocketed!

Because what Cao Xing said was true, in his territory, there was no need to worry about safety,

including Old Mel who joined yesterday, a look of relief also appeared on his face.

Just as Cao Xing had promised him, giving him a safe environment.

From the current perspective, this territory indeed had such strength.

Da Zhuang said excitedly: "Praise the great Lord!"

Others also shouted simultaneously: "Praise the great Lord!"

Liu Muxue on the side also wore a joyful smile on her face, "That's great, A-Xing!"

Cao Xing nodded.

In this way, there was no need to worry about the threat of the Ice Nests.

The development progress of his territory had already far surpassed other Survivors.

Relying solely on the power of more than a dozen Basic Elemental Arrow Towers was enough to cope with the current stage's Ice Nest Monsters.

And soon, he would be able to upgrade the city wall to an intermediate city wall, building more Elemental Arrow Towers, ice arrow towers.

Whether it was defensive capability or attacking capability, it would be greatly enhanced!

At that time, let alone two Ice Nests.

Even if monsters from ten Ice Nests came at the same time, Cao Xing's territory could easily cope with them.

However, the only pity was that the Elemental Arrow Towers did not give experience when killing these monsters.

Thus, Cao Xing directly ordered: "Kandaer, Kantor."

The two Centaurs immediately gave a military salute, "Present, please give your orders, Lord."

Cao Xing nodded and said: "In a moment, you will lead the newcomers who joined us yesterday, as well as Ilena, to fight around the Ice Nests outside in the snow."

"Be careful, if you encounter any unexpected situations, quickly bring the people and run back to the territory."

Although, due to the increase in Cao Xing's level, the experience given by these Ice Nest Monsters seemed relatively little.

But the quantity was large.

Inside the two Ice Nests, thousands of Ice Nest Monsters could appear, among which there might even be elite monsters.

Killing them all could also yield a massive amount of experience.

It was enough for these recruits to level up by one or two levels.

Kandaer and Kantor simultaneously gave a military salute and said loudly: "Obeying your command, powerful Lord!"

Then, they moved their hooves, came before the recruits recruited yesterday, and shouted loudly.

"Recruits, pay attention to me!"

Kandaer's bell-like voice directly caused everyone's expressions to perk up.

The two mage apprentices, Ellie and Sylvia were both startled.

Kantor didn't talk nonsense and directly said: "The Lord asked me to take you out to fight, this is an opportunity for you to temper yourselves."

"Regardless of how the previous lord treated you, in our territory, everyone must obey the Lord's commands!"

"Since the Lord has handed you over to me, from now on, all actions must listen to my command, understood?"

Those Imperial Soldiers and imperial archers simultaneously gave a military salute and said in unison: "Understood!"

As soldiers, before entering the summoning space, they had undergone military training, and such discipline was almost carved into their bones.

As for the two mage apprentices, they also timidly said a sentence.

"Und… Understood…"

The Centaur nodded, and then said: "Then now, everyone out, follow me out to kill those Ice Nest Monsters!"

As the words fell, the city gates opened wide.

The two Centaurs, like generals setting out on an expedition, spiritedly and proudly led a group of recruits into the snow outside.

They were going near the Ice Nests, guarding the Ice Nest Monsters as they hatched, and then killing them at the first opportunity.

Watching their departing backs, Da Zhuang and the others had excited eyes.

"A-Xing, those newcomers won't be in trouble, right?" Liu Muxue said with some worry.

Cao Xing smiled and said: "No, various BUFFs have also been applied to these newcomers."

"Their combat power is far more formidable than creatures of the same level by who knows how much."

"And as for survival capability, even those elite monsters are inferior to them."

Liu Muxue nodded gently.

Let's go, we don't need to worry about things here.

After speaking, Cao Xing led Liu Muxue down the city wall.

At this time, he saw Juliette planting [Mutated Thorn Vine Seeds] at the edge of the city wall, and little Eve helping next to her.

The two Tree Spirit Race maidens, exquisite like hand-made figures, wrapped in wolf skins, were filled with a tranquil and elegant aura.

They didn't seem to be affected by the battle commotion outside at all.

Cao Xing walked over and asked: "Juliette, how are the seeds of this batch of vines?"

Juliette and little Eve bowed and respectfully said: "Lord, Lady Lord, may you be in good health."

Then, Juliette continued: "Reporting to the Lord, the seeds of this batch of vines are quite good, basically able to guarantee a survival rate, but because the vines need a day or two to grow."

"Moreover, we only have more than thirty seeds in our hands, unable to comprehensively cover all the city walls, so…"

Cao Xing nodded, which he actually knew.

"It doesn't matter, just plant all these seeds, covering a portion of the city wall is also good."

"Later I will think of a way to see if I can get another batch of new vine seeds to surround our entire territory."

Hearing the latter sentence, Juliette chuckled and said: "Lord, you don't need to go to such trouble, after these vines grow out, they can bear new seeds."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned, he hadn't thought about this.

Juliette continued: "However, because the Mutated Thorn Vine is a magical plant, if you want it to bear new seeds, you need to inject magic power into it."

"If the Lord can find Cold Spirit Water, and water these vines with it, it can allow them to grow rapidly and bear new seeds."

"In this way, we can soon possess a large number of thorn vine seeds."

"Cold Spirit Water?"

Juliette nodded.

"Where specifically can it be found, or is there any directional guidance?"

Juliette thought for a moment and replied: "Cold Spirit Water is spring water with spiritual power; no matter how low the temperature is, it will not cause it to freeze."

"Generally, it will appear in certain high mountains or special areas. If you see water where the surrounding temperature is extremely low but it is not frozen, that is most likely Cold Spirit Water."

Cao Xing nodded, "I see, when I go out today, I will keep an eye out for it."

Speaking of this, Cao Xing seemed to remember something, and continued to ask: "Right Juliette, I also need to find a magical plant called Moses Grass, do you know where this grass needs to be searched for?"

"Moses Grass…"

Hearing this name, in Juliette's sparkling eyes, a contemplative look flashed once again.

Then she nodded and said: "I remember, the description in the book is that during the process of its generation, this grass will absorb a large amount of moisture, generally growing in places with very sufficient water sources."

"Moreover, its overall appearance is light purple, the taste is sweet and delicious, and humans can also eat it."

After hearing her description, Cao Xing roughly had an impression in his heart.

"Alright, I got it."

Now, there were two more things that needed to be found, namely Moses Grass and Cold Spirit Water.

At this time, Juliette reached her fair arm into the wolf-skin coat, pulled out a small bottle from it, and handed it to Cao Xing.

"Lord, this is the dew of the Moon Condensing Flower, and 3 drops were successfully condensed this morning."

Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, "The Moon Condensing Flower was successfully transplanted?"

"Juliette, you're amazing!"

Receiving Cao Xing's praise, Juliette lowered her head somewhat shyly.

Then she softly said: "It… it's nothing… this is what I should do…"

Little Nive on the side also looked at her older sister with a face full of admiration.

In her eyes, her older sister had always been so knowledgeable, as if she understood everything.

Cao Xing took the bottle, and the system prompt appeared.

[Obtained Moon Condensing Flower Dew * 3]

Glanced at the attributes.

[Moon Condensing Flower Dew (Blue)]

[Item Effect: After taking it, it can quickly restore a certain amount of mental energy.]

Cao Xing nodded, the effect was about what he expected.

Then, he directly stored these 3 drops of flower dew into his backpack.

At this time, Elisa on the city wall had also watched the entire battle outside the territory from start to finish.

She felt an incomparable yearning for the power of the Basic Elemental Arrow Tower and the strength of the two Centaurs.

She leaped down from the city wall, and then quickly came before Cao Xing.

"Lord, Lord!"

Elisa wore a thick bear-skin coat and gloves, making her look like a cute little female bear.

Yet her movements were incomparably agile.

Seeing her excited look, Cao Xing asked: "What's wrong, Elisa?"

Elisa said: "Can you train me into a combat personnel now?"

She seemed to appear extremely expectant.

Cao Xing was stunned, so it was about this matter.

Then, he smiled and said, "Yes, I was just about to look for you to talk about this."]}kon this."]} // wait, fix the last line typo: talkkon -> talk, of course. Let's make sure it's valid.
