Chapter 177: Wild Boar Warrior Legion Formed

After reviewing his attributes, Cao Xing sighed with emotion.

"So fierce! I actually have over 8,000 HP and nearly 1,500 attack power!"

This is almost comparable to the growth of a boss-level Assam!

Although Survivor Lords cannot use various souls to increase their attributes,

Cao Xing, bolstered by his powerful equipment, was almost reaching the strength of a boss-level entity!

The significant increase in his Spirit attribute greatly boosted the data for Cao Xing's [Ice Healing Art] and [Ice Armor].

He did a quick calculation.

With 331 Spirit, if he wore the High Priest's Mask, plus the Kingdom Holy Ring and the Dawn Light Staff, and with the blessing of the Pale Tree,

he could recover 529 HP per second!

Cao Xing couldn't help but be startled by this figure!

What kind of concept was this?

For example, if he cast Ice Healing Art on those Tier 1 recruited creatures,

whose HP was only five or six hundred,

it meant that as long as they took damage, they could recover to full health in the next second, putting them in an almost immortal state!

And the amount of health recovered in one minute reached 31,740.

It meant that in just a minute and a half, he could heal Dabai, that blood-tank, to full.

Furthermore, [Ice Armor] also received a huge boost, permanently increasing armor by 249 points!

You have to know, even a Level 20 Gold armor set provides roughly that much armor.

This was equivalent to everyone permanently having an extra Gold armor bonus.

"Haha, too strong!"

Cao Xing's eyes were filled with intense joy.

Then he looked at Liu Muxue's attributes, which were also incredibly monstrous!

[Survivor: Liu Muxue]

[Race: Blue Star Human]

[Level: 20, 0/100,000 (Tier 3 Aurora Knight)]

…

Liu Muxue's Spirit was approaching 290, and her Constitution had directly broken past 300!

Coupled with 11,000 HP, her ability to withstand hits had even surpassed Braum!

And with such high attributes,

the Blessing of Courage could add an additional 430 attack power!

The Aurora Blessing could add 230 damage to every attack!

If you casually applied these two states to a Tier 1 creature, its damage could even exceed that of a Level 10 Elite monster!

This was the advantage of Survivor Lords.

Lords could enhance their combat capabilities by learning various skills.

Although they couldn't compare to these natives in terms of raw attributes,

under the combination of various skills, their combat styles were more varied and complex.

Plus, there was the territory to strengthen their combat power.

Cao Xing was very satisfied.

After his strength greatly increased,

it also made him full of confidence.

Therefore, Cao Xing directly called Assam over.

"Assam, go to the basement now and replace those Wild Boar Warriors to guard that Hunter scout."

"Then call them all up."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's order, Assam immediately began to carry it out without hesitation.

Before long, the four Wild Boar Warriors from the basement, including the earliest Wild Boar Warrior, Blitz, arrived before Cao Xing.

"Powerful Lord, did you call for us?"

Cao Xing nodded and asked, "How is that guy downstairs doing?"

The boss-level Rabb replied, "That guy's mouth is too tough. We took turns interrogating him all night, but we couldn't get him to talk."

"However, Lord, please rest assured, we didn't let him rest for even a minute."

"He will definitely be the first to break!"

Cao Xing nodded inwardly.

He would have no mercy for these crazy cultists.

This group of Wild Boar Warriors also knew this, so they showed no sympathy during the interrogation.

Cao Xing continued, "Next, I am going to summon a batch of new Wild Boar Warriors to form a warrior squad."

"Later, you two split off to lead these newcomers to familiarize themselves with the territory, and then go out to fight."

"The rest of you, continue to interrogate that Hunter assassin."

After hearing this, the several Wild Boar Warriors said excitedly, "Beast God above! Are we going to have new companions again?"

"Great! The more companions we have, the stronger we become!"

Cao Xing smiled, then took out the recruitment scroll from his backpack to perform the summoning.

[Do you wish to use the Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll?]

"Yes."

The next moment, over a hundred hexagram arrays appeared directly on the open space in front of Cao Xing.

Hum! Humming!

Beams of light shot up from these hexagram arrays.

And within the light, figures wielding dual blades and wearing feather crowns gradually emerged.

These Wild Boar Warriors each looked like a drawn blade.

"In the name of the Beast God!"

"Tempering our will in the most primitive environment, training our combat consciousness in the most cruel way!"

"Wild Boar Tribe Warriors: Kelun / Kesa / Keaode / …"

"Reporting to you!"

The light dissipated, and over a hundred figures appeared.

And at the moment these Wild Boar Warriors descended,

the life blessing effect of the Pale Tree was applied to every one of them.

All the Wild Boar Warriors felt their vitality surge, and they exclaimed.

"Such strong vitality!"

"Beast God above! This is a territory full of vitality!"

"Look, there are several powerful Wild Boar Warriors here. The aura on each of them feels even stronger than the strongest Wild Boar Warrior in our tribe!"

Hearing the sound, these newly joined Wild Boar Warriors looked at Rabb and the others.

Without needing Cao Xing to say much,

Rabb stepped forward and said, "Warriors from the Wild Boar Tribe, I am Rabb!"

"Congratulations on arriving at a great territory!"

"Although it is still just taking shape, in the near future, the name of this territory will surely spread throughout the world!"

"And you will all be witnesses and creators of all this!"

"Beast God above, He will witness us, this group of heroic warriors, step by step towards the highest point!"

"Even seizing the title of a Legendary tribe!"

Being a Wild Boar Warrior himself, Rabb's words were very infectious.

And in the eyes of these Wild Boar Warriors, intense brilliance suddenly erupted.

They were instantly ignited by Rabb!

"Roar!!"

"Beast God above! We want to become the strongest Wild Boar Warriors!"

"Fight for the powerful Lord Rabb!"

At this moment, Rabb shook his head and said, "No, you are mistaken. It is not to fight for me, but to fight for our Lord!"

"This territory belongs to Lord Cao Xing. He possesses miraculous power and can bestow powerful strength upon us!"

"Including me and the other Wild Boar Warriors, we have all become so powerful because of the Lord's power!"

After listening to Rabb, those Wild Boar Warriors had expressions of doubt in their eyes.

At this time, Cao Xing stepped out at the right moment.

He didn't say much, but directly said, "Heroic warriors, since you have come to my territory, you are part of my territory."

"Now, let me bestow powerful blessings upon you!"

Cao Xing looked at Liu Muxue and Hilda beside him.

Currently, only the two of them had group buffs.

The two women understood Cao Xing's meaning and simultaneously began to cast group spells!

With the descent of the Blessing of Courage and Queens Will, this group of Wild Boar Warriors all felt their attack power surge several times over.

"Oh! I feel it, my strength is surging!"

"What terrifying power, I feel my blood boiling all over!"

"That's right, with my current strength, a Tier 2 Wild Boar Warrior from the tribe would even be defeated by me in one slash!"

The Wild Boar Warriors were extremely excited.

Cao Xing continued, "These are just a few of the blessing effects in our territory."

"As long as you perform well, I will bestow more and more powerful blessings upon you in the future!"

Hearing this, all the Wild Boar Warriors became excited!

"Roar!!"

"Long live the Lord!"

"Willing to fight to the death for the Lord!"

Then, Cao Xing heard over a hundred system notifications.

The loyalty of these Wild Boar Warriors all surged to over 70!

This wave, combined with Rabb's speech, was just a whim of Cao Xing.

It seemed the effect was very good.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Cao Xing casually glanced at the attributes of these Wild Boar Warriors.

He discovered that the 100-person bond skill – Vampiric Blade had already been activated.

With this skill, even without Cao Xing's Ice Healing Art, they could now recover over a hundred HP with one slash!

After all, Liu Muxue's Blessing of Courage could increase attack power by over four hundred.

And the effect of [Super Vampiric Blade] was to absorb 20% of the damage dealt as health upon attack.

After doing all this, Cao Xing let Raphael and Rasbi take the Wild Boar Warrior army out to fight.

Rabb returned to the basement to continue interrogating the Hunter scout.

Cao Xing also had to start his major project: refreshing the status of everyone in the territory.

He summoned Hilda, Liu Muxue, Blot, Ilena, Xia Yanni, Tong Chuchu, and Volibear.

These were all individuals who possessed various status skills.

Then, Cao Xing said, "Do you all understand?"

"Our task for the entire day is to buff all the combat personnel in the territory."

"If your mental energy is low, come to me to get some sap to restore it."

"This is a war of attrition, everyone needs to hold on."

Hearing this, Xia Yanni and Tong Chuchu clenched their small fists and nodded excitedly.

Ilena flicked her tongue, licked the corner of her mouth, and said, "Rest assured, Lord, the Snake People are very enduring~"

Even Volibear, standing next to them, stood up on his hind legs and patted his chest.

Cao Xing also laughed.

Then, he first called back the hundred-plus Ascalon Warriors and had them line up to wait.

Next, began the long and tedious process of applying buffs.

Because the cooldowns for everyone's single-target buff skills ranged from 1 to 5 minutes.

The longest cooldown among them was Liu Muxue's [Holy Salvation] skill, which required a full 20 minutes.

So Cao Xing just told Liu Muxue to cast it whenever she felt like it.

After all, although this skill was very important, that group of Ascalon Warriors already had a bunch of BUFFs, making it basically impossible for them to die.

Then, from noon until nightfall.

Cao Xing and the others took turns refreshing the buffs for these soldiers and themselves.

During this time, except for a brief break to eat, everyone did not stop for a moment.

Almost as soon as the cooldown ended, they would start applying the buffs again.

During this period, a large amount of sap was also consumed.

This gave Cao Xing a strange feeling.

They were like equipment on an assembly line, constantly adding various parts to those machines to enhance their performance.

Although tedious, they enjoyed the process.

After all, after this round of buffing, the combat power of this group of Ascalon Warriors would undergo a qualitative change, and they could even be considered equivalent to boss-level creatures of the same level.

In other words, once fully formed, Cao Xing would be effectively commanding an army composed of a hundred boss-level entities, enough to make him invincible!

Time passed quietly…

Night fell, and Da Zhuang and the others, who had been mining resources all day, all returned to the territory under the escort of the soldiers.

Dahua and several other cooks also prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone.

Cao Xing and the others also had a quick meal.

During this time, Dahua found Cao Xing and reported, "Lord, our territory's food supply is running low…"

"The thousand-plus catties of food you brought back last time were expected to last us about a month, but because of the population explosion in the last few days, we are consuming two or three hundred catties of food every day…"

"New wheat and vegetable seeds have already been planted, but it will take some time for them to mature."

After Dahua finished her report, Cao Xing nodded.

This situation was within his expectations; after all, the price of crazily expanding his army was the massive consumption of supplies.

"I understand, Dahua. I will figure out a way regarding the food."

Dahua respectfully replied, "Very well, respected Lord."

After saying this, she withdrew.

And Cao Xing thought to himself, "Once the snow stops, I need to go out and procure a batch of supplies."

"However, I plan to purchase on a large scale this time, and Hoge Village's food reserves probably won't be enough."

"Are there any larger towns nearby?"

He opened the map and took a look.

Due to the system's built-in map function, only areas that had been explored would be recorded on it.

And at the moment, Cao Xing had only explored a small portion of the Gale Snowfield.

However, this didn't affect the fact that Cao Xing still had a Hunter's map.

Opening the [Gale Snowfield Map], among the scattered sun symbols, he saw a town that was slightly larger in scale.

It was much smaller than Lake Doron City and was called [Merlind City].

Although it was also quite far, over five hundred kilometers away, it was still much closer than Lake Doron City.

Cao Xing decided to go and check out this [Merlind City] tomorrow.

It just so happened that his territory still needed a large number of workers and some special talents.

"With my current wealth, I should be able to purchase a lot of supplies."

Lord Cao Xing now held a massive fortune of over one million, plus a pile of valuable accessories, so he could be said to have plenty of confidence.

Then, he continued to go out and refresh the buffs for those Ascalon Warriors.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock at night, when even the snow had lessened significantly.

That Cao Xing finally managed to fully buff the hundred-plus Ascalon Warriors in the territory, as well as the combat personnel, and even some important personnel in the territory.

Except for Hilda, Blot, and Volibear, the three creatures who had group buff skills.

Everyone else was exhausted.

After all, the repeated mental exhaustion and the repeated use of sap to recover.

Had completely drained them.

Even so, they hadn't had time to apply buffs to the newly recruited Wild Boar Warriors.

Cao Xing shook his head.

Anyway, it was too late for today, so he would have to wait until he had time later.

"Alright, that's it for today, everyone go back and rest."

After receiving Cao Xing's order.

Everyone went back to rest.

Including Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, who also returned to the Lords Cabin together.

When the bustling territory gradually quieted down.

Two figures appeared at a position about two or three kilometers away from them.

They stared at this territory in the snow, their deep gazes narrowing slightly, as if they had seen their target.

The two exchanged a glance and then disappeared from where they stood.

…

…

Night fell…

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue took a quick shower and fell asleep in each other's arms.

They were too tired today, so they fell asleep after a short while.

Meanwhile, in the territory, Assam, leading twenty Ascalon Warriors, had just finished a battle and returned to the territory.

Outside the territory, everything was a vast expanse of white.

After a day and two nights of heavy snow, the thickness of the snow outside could truly bury a person.

And just at this moment—

Two black shadows silently approached Cao Xing's territory.

The two whispered to each other through their masks.

"Uri, this Otherworld Lord's territory has many defensive arrow towers, much stronger than other Otherworld Lords' territories. Do you think it could be the target the High Priest is looking for?"

"I don't know, let's sneak in and see."

"Loik and the others drew the physical characteristics of that Otherworld Lord and his subordinates. Once we go in, we'll investigate; if there's anyone from the portraits, it's basically confirmed."

Hearing this, the figure opposite also nodded.

Then, both black shadows entered stealth mode.

In stealth mode, they could evade the automatic attacks of the Elemental Arrow Towers and would not be discovered.

Soon, the two black shadows arrived at the foot of the wall of Cao Xing's territory.

Moreover, they skillfully bypassed the areas covered by thorny vines and chose to climb up a section of the wall that was not entangled with vines.

The two Hunter scouts crouched on the wall, their eyes scanning the entire territory.

At the same time, they couldn't help but feel surprised by the level of defense of this territory.

So many arrow towers and watchtowers truly shocked them.

At the same time, the two also saw Assam leading a group of Ascalon Warriors on patrol in the territory.

The two Hunters' gazes instantly locked onto Assam.

They exchanged a glance and whispered, "Is this guy wearing armor a bit familiar?"

"It seems very familiar. In the portrait the High Priest gave us, there is a knight wearing the same armor."

The opposite scout said, "Let's confirm again; after all, there are plenty of knights wearing armor."

"The High Priest said that our activities have gradually attracted the attention of the Ice Crystal Kingdom, so at this juncture, it is not advisable to take large-scale actions."

"Alright, then let's observe some more."

After saying this, both sides continued to observe Cao Xing's territory.

And just at this moment, Andrew pushed open the door and came to Assam's side, preparing to take over his shift.

Because it was his turn to be on duty for the second half of the night.

At this moment, the two Hunter scouts' pupils constricted.

They whispered in surprise, "It's that Druid, one of the targets in the portrait!"

"We've found him, the person the High Priest is looking for, the Otherworld Lord who raided Priest Nadaf!"

"So, this is his territory!"

Excited expressions appeared in both of their eyes.

The Hunter scout beside him whispered, "Uri, let's hurry back and report this to the High Priest!"

"Alright!"

After saying this, the two Hunter scouts prepared to jump off the wall.

And just at this moment.

A sound of something breaking through the air reached their ears.

An arrow shot towards them at extreme speed, incredibly fast!
