Chapter 161: Looting the Tribe’s Resource Room, Opening the Golden Treasure Chest!

A look of joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.

In this way, he could purify the wild boar meat!

Rabb added, "Because this Beast God Statue lacks sufficient divinity, it is not omnipotent. Some powerful dark auras or other negative statuses cannot be purified."

Cao Xing didn't think much of it after hearing this; after all, it was just a statue, and he couldn't expect it to have too much power.

Then, he took 10 pieces of [Snow Storm Bear Meat] directly from his backpack and looked at Rabb.

Rabb replied, "Please place them in front of the altar, Lord. Once I chant the incantation, the Beast God Statue's purification function will be activated."

Cao Xing did as instructed, placing the 10 pieces of Snow Storm Bear Meat at the feet of the statue.

Meanwhile, Rabb and the other three Wild Boar Warriors knelt on the ground together.

Then, they began to perform some ancient gestures while chanting.

As the ritual proceeded,

the Beast God Statue emitted a faint white light, appearing more vibrant, as if it had truly come to life.

At the same time, the bear meat on the ground gradually disappeared, as if it had truly been eaten.

Rabb said, "Lord, the Beast God Statue has been successfully activated. Please take out the items that need to be purified."

Cao Xing nodded. He first took out a large pile of green, blue, and purple-grade wild boar meat from his backpack.

He placed them all on the ground.

These wild boar meats exuded waves of black aura; one look was enough to know that this stuff couldn't be eaten.

Then, the statue emitted a white light that gradually covered the several tons of wild boar meat.

The white light emitted by the statue and the black aura emitted by the wild boar meat canceled each other out.

Then, the black aura gradually disappeared.

A moment later, the light on the statue dimmed slightly.

Cao Xing looked at the pork on the ground, and a different prompt appeared.

[Fresh Forest Wild Boar Meat (Green)]

(Beast meat containing weak power. After purification, its power has been slightly enhanced. Consuming it for the first time increases Strength by 3 points and Agility by 1 point.)

[Fresh Elite Wild Boar Meat (Blue)]

(Beast meat containing power. After purification, its power has been slightly enhanced. Consuming it for the first time increases Strength by 5 points and Agility by 2 points.)

[Fresh Leader-level Wild Boar Meat (Purple)]

(Beast meat containing partial power. After purification, its power has been slightly enhanced. Consuming it for the first time increases Strength by 7 points and Agility by 3 points.)

Seeing the information above, a look of intense joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Haha! Not only was the purification successful, but the attribute bonuses have also been greatly increased!"

"This is equivalent to green-grade beast meat having the effects of blue-grade beast meat!"

"And blue-grade beast meat even has the effect of purple-grade beast meat!"

"This is just too awesome!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed!

Because in this way, he could sell them for a higher price in the trading market.

He didn't hesitate to collect all the wild boar meat on the ground back into his backpack, lest it be sacrificed by the statue as an offering.

Then, Cao Xing took out the [Corrupted Wild Boar Leader Soul].

The sacred radiance swept over it again, and the black aura on this soul disappeared as well.

Cao Xing checked the attributes.

[Forest Wild Boar Leader Soul]

(Can allow a Tier 3 or below Elite creature to advance into a Leader-level creature; success probability is 50%~70%.)

"Very good, this was also successfully purified, and the success rate of the breakthrough has been greatly increased!"

Although it was expected, it still made Cao Xing feel very excited.

Meanwhile, after purifying twice, the Beast God Statue seemed to have exhausted its divine power and dimmed again.

Rabb turned back and said, "Lord, the statue's power has been exhausted. If you want to use it again, you will probably have to wait for some time."

"Alright, I understand."

Anyway, everything in his backpack had already been purified.

With so much beast meat, it was enough for him to make a big profit in the trading market.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing held this [Leader-level Wild Boar Soul] and his gaze lingered on Putana and Rabb.

On the field, they were the only two who were Elite-level, meeting the conditions for using this soul.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to give this soul to Rabb.

Although Putana came first, it was Rabb who led them to this wild boar tribe, and starting the Beast God Statue was also the credit of Rabb and his men.

Cao Xing said, "Putana, I'll let you break through next time."

This two-meter-tall woman said indifferently, "Lord, you don't need to worry about me. The blessing you bestowed upon me has already made me strong enough."

Cao Xing didn't say much more, then handed the soul to Rabb.

After receiving it, Rabb said excitedly, "Oh! I can feel it; this is something that can make me even stronger!"

"You are truly a generous and powerful Lord!"

[Due to your generous gift, territory member: Rabb's loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 83]

Cao Xing said, "Rabb, use it. I look forward to you becoming a stronger Wild Boar Warrior."

"Yes! Lord!"

After saying this, Rabb did not hesitate to pat the soul mass into his body.

The three Wild Boar Warriors nearby looked at Rabb with envy.

They probably never expected that Rabb would be able to obtain stronger power immediately after coming out of the summoning space!

About a minute later, a sharp aura burst forth from Rabb's body.

It was like a sharp knife unsheathed, full of aggression!

The next moment, a system prompt appeared.

[Your territory member: Rabb has successfully advanced to a Leader-level creature. Base attributes increased by 30%. Learned new skill: Vampiric Blade]

[Vampiric Blade: After activating this skill, your own attack speed increases by 30%, armor decreases by 30%, and subsequent attacks gain a 30% lifesteal effect. The effect lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes.]

Seeing this new skill, Cao Xing's pupils instantly constricted.

"It's actually a status-type skill, and it has a 30% lifesteal effect!"

"If this is combined with the permanent Ice Healing Art and he jumps into a crowd of monsters to hack and slash, wouldn't it be impossible to die even if he wanted to?"

The most critical point is that Wild Boar Warriors have a bond; when reaching 100 people, it will activate a legion skill: [Advanced Vampiric Blade].

The attribute of this skill is: When all Wild Boar Warriors attack, an additional 20% lifesteal effect is added.

Combined with Vampiric Blade, that's a full 50% lifesteal!

Cao Xing didn't expect that after the Wild Boar Warrior advanced to a Leader-level, he would be able to obtain such a powerful skill!

It could be called a qualitative change.

"Too fierce!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed.

"It seems that after I go back today, I should check the trading channel to see if I can collect more recruitment scrolls for Wild Boar Warriors; Tier 1 or 2 are both fine."

"By then, I can directly form a Wild Boar Warrior legion, and combined with the Ascalon legion, my strength will skyrocket!"

Rabb also looked at his bulging muscles with satisfaction and said excitedly, "Oh! I've become so strong! This feeling is amazing!"

Then he grasped his dual blades and knelt on one knee.

"Thank you, powerful Lord. Rabb will use the dual blades in his hands to cut through all thorns for you!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Not bad, Rabb. Perform well. Following me, Leader-level will not be your end."

"Including the other Wild Boar Warriors, as long as you serve me well, you will all have the opportunity to become stronger."

Hearing this, desire appeared in the clear eyes of the four Wild Boar Warriors!

Possessing even greater power was an irresistible temptation for the Wild Boar Warrior, a troop type that worships strength!

Rabb said directly, "Strong Lord, I have something to report!"

Cao Xing was stunned, then nodded, "Rabb, speak."

Rabb said solemnly, "The Wild Boar Warriors in this tribe have all left. As far as I know, every Wild Boar Warrior tribe has a resource room."

"It will store weapons and some supplies inside."

"Also, the treasure chests we find in the forest near the tribe will also be thrown into the resource room."

The natives of this world can see the existence of treasure chests.

But these treasure chests, whether they are Bronze Treasure Chests or Silver Treasure Chests, they cannot open them.

Even if those powerhouses use brute force to destroy them, the items inside the treasure chests will shatter due to the destruction of the spatial structure.

At the beginning, although the natives also felt very strange.

But after so many years, the natives of this world have become accustomed to this kind of treasure chest.

Although it still cannot be explained, if asked, it is the power of the gods.

Now they understand that these treasure chests were left for Otherworld Lords like Cao Xing to open.

Hearing the news about the treasure chests, Cao Xing immediately became excited.

"There's such a place?"

Rabb replied, "That's right, Lord."

"I don't know if they took the supplies in this tribe before they left, but I can take you to open this resource room to see."

"Good, good, good, take me there!"

Cao Xing became excited.

This Leader-level soul was worth giving!

After Rabb's loyalty was raised, he directly sold out the [Resource Room] of this tribe.

At this time, Cao Xing looked at the other three Wild Boar Warriors,

"Do you know if there are any other special places in the tribe?"

"I will reward you just as I rewarded Rabb."

Cao Xing took out the elite souls that had dropped from the three Hunters in his backpack.

Although the success rate wasn't very high, they would serve perfectly as rewards for these three Wild Boar Warriors.

Seeing the souls in Cao Xing's hand, Raphael and the others immediately became excited.

"I can sense it, this is something that can make us stronger!"

"By the Beast God! Lord, to think you actually have so many!"

They quickly racked their brains.

Lasbi was the first to speak: "Lord! I can take you to open the tribal chief's room!"

The other two Wild Boar Warriors also quickly replied.

"I can open the rest area for the other Wild Boar Warriors in the tribe!"

"I can open the tribe's food storage area!"

Listening to their eager reports,

Cao Xing couldn't help but laugh heartily in his heart.

These Wild Boar Warriors were truly straightforward; just a few elite souls were enough to make them spill all the tribe's secrets!

"Good, good, good."

Cao Xing did not break his word and tossed the three elite souls to them directly!

The three Wild Boar Warriors excitedly caught them.

After sensing them carefully, looks of pleasant surprise appeared in their eyes!

"Oh! It really is something that can make us stronger. You truly are a generous and wealthy Lord!"

"That's right, to be able to take out so many of such miraculous items at once, you are worthy of being the Lord I, Rabino, recognize!"

At this moment, three system notifications for increased loyalty appeared.

The loyalty of these three Wild Boar Warriors all increased to over 80.

Then, they unhesitatingly pressed the elite souls into their bodies.

At this time, Cao Xing looked at Rabb beside him.

"Rabb, take me to open the resource room."

"As you command, Lord!"

Rabb, who had become a boss-level creature, quickly led Cao Xing to the largest stone door beside the plaza.

Then, just like before, he pressed against the stone door and began chanting.

However, the incantation this time was a bit different from the one used to open the tribal gate earlier.

As he chanted, the stone door in front of them began to vibrate slightly.

Rumble!

The stone door opened once again.

Revealing a passage made of giant stones.

"Lord! It's open!"

"The resource room in this tribe is quite different from the one in the tribe I came from; we need to go inside to see how it's laid out."

Cao Xing nodded, and then they all stepped into the stone passage together.

The passage wasn't deep; after advancing a dozen meters, everyone arrived in a spacious stone chamber.

Inside, there were many collapsed cargo racks, opened storage chests, and a lot of wheat and unknown plants that had already turned black.

Under the erosion of time, everything had rotted away.

A look of regret appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"It seems the warriors of this tribe took most of the supplies before they left."

Looking at the messy stone chamber, Cao Xing ordered: "Everyone, search around and see if you can find anything useful."

Hearing the order, everyone started to move, searching through every corner.

Cao Xing also searched along the walls of the stone chamber.

The walls here were also covered in various vines and moss, appearing very damp.

Just then, Cao Xing noticed a few green chests in the corner.

The chests were covered in moss.

He walked over quickly, and a system notification appeared.

[Moss-Covered Silver Treasure Chest * 1]

[Moss-Covered Bronze Treasure Chest * 2]

[Open them?]

"Oh? There are actually two Bronze and one Silver Treasure Chest!"

Cao Xing clicked to open them directly.

[Opening successful]

[Obtained: Horned Eagle Bow (Purple) * 1]

[Obtained: Firepower Enhancement Skill Book * 1]

[Obtained: Basic Sentry Tower Construction Blueprint * 1]

[Obtained: Small Resource Pack * 4]

[Obtained: Medium Resource Pack * 1]

[Obtained: Refined Iron * 14]

[Obtained: Mithril * 3]

…

"To think I actually got a Purple longbow and a skill book?"

"My luck is pretty good this time!"

The harvest from the three chests exceeded expectations.

He was very satisfied.

Then, he checked the attributes of these two new items.

[Horned Eagle Longbow Lv20 (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Equip Requirement: Level 20 or above]

[Attack Power: 254 ~ 278]

[Attached Effect ①: Agility +15, Strength +5]

[Attached Effect ②: Rapid Fire (When attacking, there is a 25% chance to fire 2 arrows in succession)]

[Attached Effect ③: Summon Horned Eagle (Summons a Horned Eagle with Level 20 elite strength to assist in battle. The Horned Eagle has flight capabilities. Effect lasts 10 minutes, cooldown is 30 minutes)]

(Equipment Description: Did you see that? That Horned Eagle is huge! My god! There seems to be a figure on its back—Explorer: Viserys Peck)

…

[Mechanical Improvement Skill Book: Frost Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Improve a friendly mechanical creature, increasing its armor and attack power by Spirit * 0.8, and increasing movement speed by 20%. Duration: 6 minutes, Cooldown: 1 minute.]

…

Cao Xing exclaimed: "This Mechanic skill is not bad; it has a long duration and a short cooldown. Combined with Eternal Power, it can be permanently active."

"Since Chuchu's level has also increased, I can let her learn it when we get back."

This was also one of the characteristics of a Mechanic.

By the mid-game, the Survivors' territories would have mostly developed, and at that point, some Survivors would unlock the Tech Factory to mass-produce war robots.

Having a Frost Iron Mechanic in the team would be very important, as they could not only buff all robots but also possessed functions like rapid repair and mechanical improvement.

Besides that, there were some exclusive powerful mechanical lifeforms and blueprints that required a Frost Iron Mechanic to craft.

As for the other item, the Horned Eagle Longbow, its stats were even more impressive!

Not only did it have over 200 attack power, but it also had a Horned Eagle summoning effect.

Cao Xing looked at Renice, "Renice, let me see your current weapon."

Upon hearing this, the archer did not hesitate at all and handed her weapon to Cao Xing.

He glanced at its attributes.

[Ascalon Captain's Warbow (Blue)]

It was only a Level 15 blue weapon, and its attack power was much lower than the [Horned Eagle Longbow].

Therefore, Cao Xing directly gave the new weapon to Renice.

"Use this from now on."

At this moment, Renice gripped the Horned Eagle Longbow; the pristine white wings on both sides of the bow body made it look like an eagle spreading its wings.

Coupled with the patterned bow body and the taut bowstring, it was full of both power and beauty.

She could feel that this longbow would make her attacks even more lethal!

Renice placed her right fist over her chest and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord!"

"I will forever follow your glory forward!"

Cao Xing smiled.

Next, he searched through the resource room again.

However, he didn't find any other treasure chests.

The others didn't have any luck either.

When the Wild Boar Warriors evacuated, they had taken a large amount of supplies with them.

The remaining food and other resources had also rotted and spoiled due to the passage of time.

Just as he was about to leave, Sarah suddenly slashed through several vines along the wall.

Then she said.

"Lord, there seems to be a treasure chest here too."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing walked over quickly.

Beneath a pile of blackened debris before him appeared a treasure chest covered in moss, having lost its original luster.

It was impossible to tell what grade it was.

But upon looking closer, a system notification appeared.

[Moss-Covered Gold Treasure Chest]

[Open it?]

"It's actually a Gold Treasure Chest!"

Cao Xing was immediately startled, a look of excitement appearing in his eyes.

Even Liu Muxue, who was beside him, became a little excited!

"That's great, A-Xing!"

Cao Xing was also incredibly excited.

A Gold Treasure Chest!

This was the third Gold Treasure Chest he had encountered!

The previous two Gold Treasure Chests had both yielded good items.

Cao Xing was also very expectant about what could be opened here.

At this moment, he clicked to open it directly.

…

[Opening successful]

[Obtained: Extreme Ice Bloom Skill Book (Gold)]

[Obtained: Intermediate Elemental Arrow Tower Construction Blueprint]

[Obtained: Magic Pattern Stone * 5]

[Obtained: Eternal Gold Ingot * 7]

[Obtained: Advanced Magic Energy Crystal * 6]

…

"Haha! A Gold skill book, and an Intermediate Elemental Arrow Tower construction blueprint!"

"And this skill book seems to be one I can use myself!"

Cao Xing became even more excited.

Then he impatiently checked the attributes of this skill book.

[Extreme Ice Bloom (Gold): Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Condense the power of frost to summon an ice elemental magic circle, reducing the movement speed of enemies within the circle's range by 50%. The magic circle will randomly erupt with 12 ice pillars. Each ice cone deals 112% damage to enemies hit, and finally, all ice pillars detonate, dealing 227% explosive damage to enemies!]

[Cooldown: 3 minutes.]
