Chapter 14: Your 'Milk Tea' Was Attacked

After saying that, Cao Xing directly added the other party to his blacklist.

Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away from Cao Xing, a human Survivor was just about to continue sending messages when he saw a system prompt.

[You have been blacklisted by the other party and cannot continue communicating.]

He was stunned in place for a moment, then said angrily, "Damn brat!"

…

After the trade ended.

Cao Xing first gave the iron sword and iron shield to Liu Muxue.

Then, he began to hand-in-hand teach Liu Muxue combat postures.

Cao Xing took Liu Muxue's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, the shield must be held in your left hand, and your right hand should hold a weapon to attack enemies."

"As for the iron sword you're using now, you just need to remember three simple movements: thrusting, splitting, and slashing."

Liu Muxue nodded shyly. She clumsily thrust a sword forward, then looked at Cao Xing.

"I… Is it like this?"

Looking at her soft and powerless sword-thrusting movement, Cao Xing found it not only completely lacking in lethality, but also, seemingly, a bit cute?

Was this supposed to be a performance of a thug-exciting sword strike?

Cao Xing shook his head, came behind Liu Muxue, supported the shield with one hand, and raised her right hand with the other.

"Sister-in-law, your sword-drawing posture should be like this."

At this moment, Liu Muxue felt Cao Xing appearing behind her, her face full of shyness.

He grabbed Liu Muxue's wrist and thrust directly forward.

Swish!

This sword strike carried the sound of tearing through the air.

"Mm…"

A coquettish groan escaped from Liu Muxue's mouth.

The movement just now was too large in range, and their bodies pressed tightly together.

Cao Xing could even feel the sensation coming from her rounded buttocks.

"Ahem!"

Cao Xing quickly retreated half a step to maintain a safe distance.

Liu Muxue naturally also felt the contact from behind just now, her face turning incomparably red, and her legs even feeling a bit weak.

Yet she still gritted her teeth and persisted in learning.

Cao Xing began to continue teaching Liu Muxue sword practice.

Because she was trying hard to absorb the knowledge taught by Cao Xing, Liu Muxue quickly got into the zone.

Half an hour later, both of them were slightly sweating, and they gradually separated.

Following the movements guided by Cao Xing, Liu Muxue began practicing repeatedly over and over again.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing stood to the side, nodding with satisfaction.

Then, he checked his territory resources.

[Food: Bread * 45, Snake Meat * 10, Wolf Meat * 111]

[Wood * 92, Coal * 107, Stone * 45, Iron * 100]

Cao Xing pondered, "All night last night, the campfire and stove consumed a lot of coal, but it also saved me a lot of wood."

"Now there are 8 Arctic People harvesting resources together, and the efficiency is much faster."

"After today, I should be able to craft both the Tailor Shop and the blacksmith shop."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

This progress was still very fast. At a time when most current Survivors were still in the exploratory stage, Cao Xing's territory had already taken initial shape.

Next, as long as he continued to develop at this pace, it wouldn't be long before he could upgrade the territory level and build higher-level buildings.

Then, he could set up barracks and train these Arctic People into combat units!

With Cao Xing's talent, they would be monsters capable of infinite health regeneration!

The future was full of hope!

Just at this moment, a system prompt interrupted Cao Xing's train of thought.

[Your territory member: Assam is under attack…]

Seeing this prompt, Cao Xing's heart sank.

Damn it! My milk tea… No, my knight was attacked?

Who is it?

You must know that Assam was already a Level 10 knight. Paired with the Frost Wolf under his feet, he basically had no opponents below Tier 1.

The current situation indicated that Assam had encountered a formidable enemy!

Liu Muxue on the side also heard the same prompt.

She came to Cao Xing's side, a look of worry appearing in her eyes.

Cao Xing comforted her, "It's fine. Assam has four permanent states applied by us. As long as he isn't killed in a single hit, saving his life shouldn't be a problem with his ability."

After waiting for a few minutes, no news of Assam's death was heard.

Cao Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two gazed at the place where Assam had previously departed, hoping he could return safely.

A dozen minutes later, Cao Xing saw a robust figure limping back.

It was none other than the Frost Wolf Knight, Assam.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing directly pulled out [Barrett] and came to Assam's side.

Liu Muxue and Ilena also walked over quickly.

"What happened?" Cao Xing carried the Barrett on his shoulder, his gaze scanning his surroundings vigilantly.

Assam jumped down from the Frost Wolf's back, then knelt on one knee and said, "Lord, I am truly sorry!"

"Your subordinate encountered a powerful enemy outside. Neither Winter nor I were a match for it in a single blow!"

"If you hadn't applied strength to us in advance, we might not have been able to come back…"

Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned, then he glanced at the Frost Wolf's status.

He found that Winter's health points column had changed.

[Frost Wolf: Winter]

[Health Points: 1386/1540]

[Status: Fractured (Maximum Health reduced by 10%, Movement Speed reduced by 20%)]

Cao Xing said, "Tell me in detail what you encountered."

"Yes, My Lord!"

Then, Assam began to recount their encounter.

After listening, Cao Xing frowned and said, "You mean that about three kilometers away from the camp, there is a powerful snowy violent bear, and that violent bear can even discharge electricity?"

Assam respectfully said, "Yes, My Lord. That violent bear possesses boundless strength and can swat Winter and me away with a single slap!"

"Its power is too strong; only a Tier 2 knight in the clan can defeat it!"

Cao Xing fell into thought.

Only a Tier 2 knight could deal with it, meaning this monster's level was at least Level 10 or above.

And judging from Assam's description, this violent bear could also discharge electricity; I'm afraid it wasn't that simple.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing nodded and said, "Assam, heal Winter's injuries, and then take me to see the place where you found the violent bear."

Assam seemed somewhat surprised. "My Lord, do you mean that you are going to deal with that violent bear?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "I didn't say we definitely have to deal with it. Let's go observe its strength first."

The snowy violent bear was only 3 kilometers away from their camp; this made it too unsettling to sleep or eat in peace.

Once four days passed and the novice protection period ended, this violent bear would easily destroy Cao Xing's territory!

Moreover, even within the novice protection period, if that snowy violent bear approached, it would pose a strong threat to Cao Xing.

The Arctic People gathering resources outside the camp would all suffer its ruthless hands.

Even in Liu Muxue's eyes, a look of worry appeared.

"A-Xing…"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Rest assured, Sister-in-law, we'll just take a look from afar."

"But there shouldn't be much of a problem. If it dares to come over, I'll open a few holes in its body!"

With that, Cao Xing displayed the [Barrett] in his hand.

With this super weapon around, monsters below Level 20 basically had no match.

Liu Muxue nodded.

Aside, Assam was already treating the fracture injury for the Frost Wolf.

Only a sound of 'crack' was heard.

"Awooo…"

The Frost Wolf let out a muffled groan, and a damage number of [-172] appeared above its head.

However, very quickly, green [+5, +5] numbers popped up.

Having the [Eternal Power] talent was simply convenient.

Otherwise, given the massive health pools of Assam and the Frost Wolf, recovering would not only cost them many resources, but also take much more time.

Two or three minutes later.

"My Lord, Winter has recovered," Assam respectfully said from the side.

Cao Xing nodded, "Now, start leading the way ahead."

"At your command, My Lord!"

Assam mounted the Frost Wolf once more and proceeded outward into the snowfield.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Heavy footsteps resounded.

Cao Xing brought Ilena and Liu Muxue along as they approached.

Half an hour later.

They arrived at the foot of a snowy mountain.

And ahead, a deep, gloomy cave could seemingly be seen.

A brutal aura faintly emanated from inside.

They continued to approach, and a system prompt appeared before their eyes.

[Lair of the Snowy Plains Violent Bear (Blue): A powerful creature lives inside. It is the overlord of the vicinity, extremely dangerous. Please approach with caution!]

Cao Xing frowned.

Even the system prompted extreme danger; the monster inside wasn't just ordinarily powerful!

"My Lord, do you need me to lure it out?" The Frost Wolf Knight Assam volunteered.

Cao Xing asked, "Can you ensure your own safety?"

Assam nodded and said, "Both Winter and I have the power appended to us by the Lord. As long as we are careful, escaping won't be a problem."

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then go on over."

"At your command!"

Assam rode the Frost Wolf and quickly circled around to the other side of the snowfield, about five hundred meters away from Cao Xing and the others.

Then, the Frost Wolf under his feet raised its head and roared.

"Awooo!!"

The voice was loud and penetrating!

The next moment, a roar akin to an ancient giant beast similarly sounded from inside the cave.

"Roar!!!"

The roar was too formidable, and the sound waves felt like a physical substance, blasting away the accumulated snow near the cave.

Cao Xing and the others all felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

He mounted the Barrett at the first moment and lay flat on the snow.

Just at this moment, Cao Xing suddenly felt the ground beneath him vibrate.

Thud! Thud-thud!

It was as if something was rushing rapidly toward them.

Then, a colossal behemoth with a completely snow-white body and a size reaching at least eight meters suddenly lunged out from inside the cave!

"Roar!!!"

The terrifying roar resounded across the entire snowfield!
