Chapter 121: Rescue, Ancient Tree Seed of War

Chapter 121: Rescue, Ancient Tree Seed of War

Cao Xing led his team and sprinted all the way.

Soon, they arrived at the Survivor territory mentioned by Sarah.

The scale of this territory was not large.

With only a sparse few buildings, let alone city walls, there wasn't even a single Elemental Arrow Tower.

At this moment, at least dozens of ferocious Ice Nest Monsters had already rushed into the territory.

Faced with this kind of situation, ordinary Survivors would have already been torn to pieces by the ferocious Ice Nest Monsters.

However, this group of Survivors seemed quite smart.

They brought all the Arctic People and territory members into the Lords Cabin.

Then an Aurora Knight held up a shield and tightly guarded the main door, blocking those Ice Nest Monsters outside.

And nearby, there were two Imperial Soldiers assisting.

Under mutual cooperation, they actually managed to hold on.

Cao Xing led his personnel to quickly approach, faintly hearing a few sentences of conversation.

"Yiming, can you still hold on?"

"Mom and Dad! Xiaoying, don't worry about me, quickly attack these Ice Nest Monsters! As long as we kill a few more Ice Nest Monsters, we can rush out!"

"The Lords Cabin won't hold out for long. In a moment, I'll lead two Imperial Soldiers to hold back these monsters, and all of you run into the snow."

"Yiming…"

The situation of these people seemed very grim.

Although they could still barely hold on by utilizing the terrain, the Lords Cabin had durability values.

Dozens of Ice Nest Monsters surrounded the Lords Cabin, constantly attacking the walls.

The durability value poured out like running water.

Before long, this Lords Cabin would be destroyed, and everyone inside would be killed by the Ice Nest Monsters.

The big bald Braum held a giant shield with one hand, a brilliant smile on his face as he said, "Lord, does Braum need to make a move?"

Cao Xing did not answer, instead first glancing at the names above the heads of these four people.

[Yao Yiming lv5], [Yao Dabao lv4], [Yao Ying lv4], [Cai Fuyan lv4]

Obviously, this was a family of four.

Their levels were not high; only that Yao Yiming had reached Level 5.

Cao Xing began to browse his blacklist to see if anyone in this family belonged to the Three Heroes Association.

At this moment, that Yao Yiming wielded a shield, cooperating with two Imperial Soldiers to tightly block the door of the Lords Cabin, continuously resisting the attacks of the Ice Nest Monsters.

Behind him, a Snowfield Hunter, a Frost Mage, and a Frost Iron Mechanic were all launching ranged attacks.

[-37]

[-74!]

[-55]

Damage numbers floated up one after another.

After their battle for this period of time, the number of Ice Nest Monsters dead at the door had already reached as many as ten.

Originally, with the strength of this territory, dealing with these Level 5 and 6 Ice Nest Monsters was more than enough.

If they had discovered it earlier, they wouldn't have fallen into such a passive state.

However, the spot where this Ice Nest crashed down was a bit far from their territory.

By the time this family discovered it, dozens of monsters had already spawned inside the Ice Nest!

So many Ice Nest Monsters rushed over all at once, catching this family completely off guard.

And right at this moment, that Aurora Knight was suddenly bitten fiercely on the shoulder by an Ice Nest Monster. Amidst his terrified gaze, all the other Ice Nest Monsters pounced over!

"Roar!!"

"Brother!"

Behind him, a crisp female voice sounded.

"Son!"

The family members exclaimed in shock.

The next moment, this Aurora Knight was directly batted away by several Ice Nest Monsters.

Several [-67] and [-78] damages appeared above his head.

His health dropped by a chunk instantly.

This was still not the most serious part.

The most serious thing was that as Yao Yiming was knocked flying, their formation was also scattered.

Several Ice Nest Monsters had already rushed directly into the Lords Cabin!

"Roar! Roar!"

Bursts of low roars sounded.

In the eyes of this group of human Survivors and those few Arctic People, expressions of panic appeared.

Everyone heard several panicked voices coming from inside.

"Great Earth Mother, the Arctic People are going to be eaten by these Ice Nest Monsters!"

"Oh god! Those monsters rushed in!"

"Brother! Come over quickly!"

And right at this moment, Cao Xing had already confirmed that this family had nothing to do with the Three Heroes Association.

Then he directly ordered, "Go on, wipe out these Ice Nest Monsters."

The big bald Braum responded first, "To friends, I am a gentle snowflake; to enemies, I am an avalanche."

"So now, let Braum rescue you!"

"Hah!"

While speaking, the big bald man had already raised his huge shield and rushed into the crowd of Ice Nest Monsters.

Under the blessing of [Queens Will], his burst speed was extremely fast!

Puff! Puff puff puff!

Braum at this moment turned into a bulldozer, directly knocking away every single Ice Nest Monster.

Those Ice Nest Monsters that originally wanted to enter the Lords Cabin were also attracted by the battle here.

"Roar… Roar!"

Bursts of angry low roars came over.

In an instant, a portion of the Ice Nest Monsters charged toward Braum.

But even more Ice Nest Monsters swarmed into the Lords Cabin.

A chorus of exclamations came from inside.

"Damn it!"

"Block these Ice Nest Monsters! Strong soldiers, go save Yiming quickly!"

Meanwhile, an even more intense vibration came from afar.

Boom! Boom boom!

It was like a giant beast running at full speed.

The Yao family members, who were struggling to resist inside the Lords Cabin, had doubtful eyes, seemingly unaware of the situation.

And the next moment, they saw a giant foot!

A giant foot as thick as a bucket descended from the sky!

Then it stomped fiercely onto the Ice Nest Monsters at the door.

"Boom!"

After a violent vibration, at least three or four Ice Nest Monsters at the door were trampled into ice slag and fragments on the spot!

The next moment, a complete gray giant beast appeared.

"Moo——"

Dabai raised its trunk, sweeping away large swaths of Ice Nest Monsters!

Bam! Bam bam!

[-1344]

[-1327]

[-1314]

One Ice Nest Monster after another was instantly killed by Dabai on the spot.

This powerful Mammoth began to sweep across all directions!

Meanwhile, the Yao family members, who had already fallen into despair, instantly constricted their pupils when they saw the combat scene appearing outside the Lords Cabin!

At the same time, in their dimming gaze, expressions of hope reappeared.

A female voice exclaimed, "Brother! Stand up quickly, we are saved!"

The Arctic People inside also exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Oh god, that's a Mammoth! The Earth Mother must have heard our prayers and dispatched such a sacred creature to save us!"

At the same time.

Andrew, Reinice, and the others had also arrived.

Assam rushed directly into the monster group, waving the knight's longsword in his hand, sweeping away every single Ice Nest Monster.

Swish! Swish swish swish!

And Andrew also transformed into a giant bear form, his large paws slapping fiercely.

Ice Nest Monsters were killed in batches.

Experience prompt sounds rang in Cao Xing's ears, and then he controlled the Mammoth, rampaging recklessly!

Looking at this group of presences descending like divine soldiers and the two figures sitting on top of the Mammoth,

a strong sense of shock appeared in the eyes of the Yao family members.

That Aurora Knight, while resisting the attacks of the Ice Nest Monsters, exclaimed, "The people on top of that elephant seem to be other Survivors like us."

"So strong! This time we're really saved!"

A strong sense of hope arose in their hearts.

At the same time, their fighting spirit was re-inspired.

And right at this moment, a piercing sound of wind suddenly reached this Aurora Knight's ears.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow shot over instantly, directly hitting the Ice Nest Monster inside the Lords Cabin.

[-543!]

This was Reinice's arrow.

She currently had a full body of buffs, and every arrow was a critical strike.

And the health of these Ice Nest Monsters was just a little over five hundred.

With a single arrow, she could directly kill them instantly!

Reinice just stood like that at the entrance of the Lords Cabin, shooting arrows one after another.

The Ice Nest Monsters inside were also killed one by one.

Taking one minute.

The battles inside and outside the Lords Cabin completely ended.

Several formidable figures stood in the snow, exuding fierce auras all over.

The Yao family members inside the Lords Cabin looked at this group of creatures, not daring to breathe loudly.

Because they had a feeling that every figure here was terrifyingly powerful, capable of easily slaughtering everyone in their territory.

And right at this moment, the young man sitting on the Mammoth said,

"Wrap it up, clean the battlefield!"

As his voice fell,

these formidable creatures restrained the killing intent on their bodies, and then obediently began to pick up the items dropped by the Ice Nest Monsters on the ground.

For Cao Xing and the others, these Ice Nest Monsters were just some small-fry monsters that could be instantly killed with a wave of their hands.

At the same time,

the four members of the Yao family, together with two Imperial Soldiers and four Arctic People, cautiously crawled out from the Lords Cabin.

That Yao Yiming had some fear on his face, along with some curiosity.

He raised his head, looking at Cao Xing on the back of the Mammoth, and knew that he was the lord of this group of powerful creatures.

"Th—Thank you, brother, for your assistance…"

The Yao family members nearby also bowed one after another, "Thank you for your assistance, little brother."

The four Arctic People and two Imperial Soldiers all expressed their gratitude to Cao Xing and the others.

However, among them, a young girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old cautiously raised her head and looked curiously at the two people on the back of the Mammoth.

Her gaze lingered repeatedly on Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, with a look of astonishment in her eyes.

Facing the thanks of this group of people, Cao Xing waved his hand, "It's nothing, just a trivial effort. Now, tell me where the Ice Nest spawn location is?"

Yao Yiming was stunned for a moment, then reacted first.

He pointed into the distance, "Over there, about two kilometers away from here."

Cao Xing nodded, "Alright, then I'll take these two Ice Nests. Right, this isn't monster snatching."

Hearing this, Yao Yiming was stunned for a moment, then he understood something and nodded, "It should be, it should be……"

Cao Xing did not waste words either. He directly patted the back of the Mammoth and ordered, "Everyone! Continue moving, destroy those two Ice Nests, and make it quick!"

He didn't have time to slowly wait for the Ice Nest Monsters to respawn; destroying them directly was the safest method.

Thump! Thump thump!

Cao Xing's team arrived majestically and left majestically,

leaving behind the shocked members of the Yao family and that group of Arctic People.

One of the Arctic People exclaimed, "What a powerful lord! To actually be able to drive the sacred Mammoth, and have such a batch of powerful warriors under him!"

"Yeah, if we could work for such a lord, it would be the honor of us Arctic People!"

Speaking of this, they couldn't help comparing this mysterious lord with their own lord.

Clearly, one was in the sky and the other in the dirt.

Complex expressions flickered in the eyes of the Arctic People.

The Yao family did not know the reaction of this group of Arctic People.

Yao Yiming sighed, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there is still such a powerful person in our District 174."

At this time, the female voice named Yao Ying said, "Brother, I seem to have seen the names of those two people on the Mammoth."

"They are the ones currently ranked first and second on the leaderboard, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue."

Hearing this, Yao Yiming's pupils suddenly constricted.

"It's actually them?"

A moment later, a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"No wonder, at the current stage, no one else could have such powerful strength except them!"

A thoughtful expression flashed across Yao Yiming's face, not knowing what he was thinking about.

…

Cao Xing's team marched majestically toward the location pointed out by Yao Yiming.

They quickly discovered two Ice Nests, about two meters tall and covered entirely in ice crystals.

Then, Cao Xing directly ordered, "Charge, destroy it."

"Braum, start fighting!"

The bearded Braum rushed out like a bull once again.

Looking at his sturdy back, Cao Xing rolled his eyes.

If this guy wasn't a shield warrior, Cao Xing would even believe he was a berserker.

This desire for battle was truly unmatched.

"Bang!"

Braum directly held a giant shield and slammed it fiercely onto the Ice Nest.

[-174]

A three-digit damage number floated up, and the durability of the Ice Nest dropped by a notch.

Cao Xing took a glance.

[Zhuoma's Power: Ice Nest Lv10]

[Tier: Tier 1]

[Armor: 200]

[Durability: 1826 / 2000]

…

"Not bad, just like the Ice Nests that appeared before, 200 points of armor and 2000 points of durability."

If it were other Survivors, just this Ice Nest would take a huge amount of time to destroy.

On Cao Xing's side, as Reinice and Assam and others joined the battle,

the durability of the Ice Nest plummeted instantly.

At the same time, the Ice Nest trembled.

Out of the two Ice Nests, two Level 10 elite monsters, Ice Nest Hooves, crawled out simultaneously.

Cao Xing quickly commanded, "Stop, kill these two elite monsters first."

Following Cao Xing's command, everyone shifted their firepower.

Sarah appeared silently in the darkness.

Swish!

[-2341]

The Level 10 Ice Nest Hoof only had a bit over 1300 HP. This single slash directly killed it instantly!

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed the Ice Nest Hoof, gaining EXP: 200]

[Combat personnel gain EXP: 100]

Then, the second Ice Nest Monster was also jointly slain by Andrew and Assam.

At the same time.

The remaining two Ice Nests were also destroyed by everyone.

Tallying up the harvest, counting the dozens of Ice Nest Monsters killed previously in the Yao family's territory.

Accumulatively obtained:

[glacier shard] * 25

[Ice Dragon Mark] * 57

Cao Xing nodded, "Not bad, anyway, it didn't take me ten minutes in total."

After clearing these two Ice Nests, Cao Xing was just preparing to lead the team to move forward.

Right at this moment, that Yao Yiming hurriedly rushed over with his younger sister.

From afar, Yao Yiming's voice could be heard.

"Cao… Great Lord Cao Xing, please wait a moment!"

Cao Xing was slightly stunned, then stopped walking with a puzzled look.

"Is there something you need?"

Yao Yiming panted heavily while explaining, "It… it's like this, it was too rushed just now, and we didn't react in time."

"Only later did we realize that we were actually rescued by Great Lord Cao Xing. Therefore, to repay your life-saving grace, our whole family unanimously decided to give you something as a token of appreciation."

Hearing later that they wanted to give him something, Cao Xing was just about to say it was unnecessary.

After all, at the current stage, these Survivors didn't have any good things in their hands.

As a result, Yao Yiming said, "Great Lord Cao Xing, don't rush to refuse yet."

"We also know that Great Lord Cao Xing probably wouldn't think much of ordinary things."

"But these are things I accidentally obtained, seemingly a few plant seeds."

Hearing about seeds, Cao Xing immediately became interested, "Oh? What kind of seeds are they?"

Yao Yiming didn't waste words either, directly handing over a few seeds that were as large as a fist.

They had mottled outer layers, with streaks of black lines running across them.

After Cao Xing took them, a system prompt appeared.

[Obtained: Ancient Tree of War Seed * 3]

Cao Xing was stunned, "Ancient Tree of War? What is that?"

He checked the attributes of this thing.

[Ancient Tree of War Seed: Magical Plant]

[Seed Effect: Planted in soil full of vitality and regularly watered with Frost Spirit Water, it can quickly grow into an Ancient Tree of War with Level 15 elite strength.]

(Note: The growth cycle of the Ancient Tree of War is 7 days, and it needs to be watered with more than 100L of Frost Spirit Water every day. The Ancient Tree of War has an extremely slow movement speed; please choose a location carefully before planting.)

…

After reading the introduction of this seed, a trace of surprise flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

It turned out to be a defensive type of magical plant.

As long as it is planted, a Level 15 elite-grade ancient tree can grow after seven days.

Cao Xing asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you want to give me such a powerful seed?"

Yao Yiming said somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, Great Lord Cao Xing."

"Although this seed can grow a Level 15 elite-grade ancient tree, it requires some Frost Spirit Water for watering. We haven't seen this kind of water on the market at all."

"And besides that, it also needs to be planted in a place full of vitality. To be honest, I still don't know what soil full of vitality is until now."

"Before, I tried planting an Ancient Tree of War seed, and as a result, it died the next day…"

Speaking of this, Yao Yiming said somewhat depressedly, "Therefore, this seed is of no use to me."

Cao Xing nodded, knowing that Yao Yiming indeed made sense.

Although these seeds were powerful, their growth conditions were quite harsh, and ordinary people really couldn't grow them.

"Thanks."

Hearing Cao Xing's thanks, Yao Yiming touched the back of his head sheepishly, "You're welcome… If it weren't for Great Lord Cao Xing, our whole family might have gotten into trouble."

Cao Xing nodded. This Yao Yiming's territory was not far from Cao Xing's territory.

Strictly speaking, the two of them could be considered neighbors.

And running into an easy-going neighbor was not bad after all.

Right at this moment, Yao Yiming said somewhat awkwardly, "Um… Great Lord Cao Xing, besides that, I have another uncalled-for request."

"What is it?"

Cao Xing mistakenly thought the other party wanted some benefits. However, since Yao Yiming had given him such precious seeds, it wouldn't matter if he wanted some food or something.

As a result, Yao Yiming pointed at a delicate-featured, slightly baby-faced little girl next to him, "This is my younger sister, Yao Ying. She is a fan of Goddess Muxue."

"This time she saw Goddess Muxue, so she wants to take a picture with her…"
