Chapter 210: Massive Amounts of Monsters, Skyrocketing Levels!

The chat channel fell silent for a moment, and then there was an intense uproar!

Huang Dongwei: "Holy crap! Great Lord Cao Xing used the Ice Dragon Horn too, and it's a Medium one!"

Chen Qian: "How terrifying! A Medium Ice Dragon Horn, isn't its range four times larger than a normal Ice Dragon Horn? Can Great Lord Cao Xing handle it?"

Shi Wulin: "I don't know, but since Great Lord Cao Xing dared to use it, it means he should have the corresponding strength."

At this moment, the Survivors of District 174 got excited upon seeing the system notification.

They started posting in the chat channel.

"Damn it! Where are the people from Wangjiang Pavilion? Stand up and speak!"

"Who said Great Lord Cao Xing wouldn't dare to use the Ice Dragon Horn? See it now? He used a Medium one directly. Does your leader, Jiang Qingyun, dare to do that?"

"Exactly, if you have the ability, use a Medium one and let me see!"

The members of Wangjiang Pavilion were instantly rendered speechless.

In the chat channel, people from District 174 started attacking the members of Wangjiang Pavilion relentlessly.

At this time, several Survivors from Wangjiang Pavilion said in the [Legion Channel]: "Leader, did you see that? This Cao Xing actually used a Medium Ice Dragon Horn!"

Jiang Qingyun comforted them in the chat channel: "It's okay, I think you all know the power of the Ice Dragon Horn. At least thirty or more Ice Nests appear in one hour."

"This Cao Xing actually used a Medium Ice Dragon Horn, which means he has to face over a hundred Ice Nests in one hour. At this stage, no legion can withstand this kind of pressure."

"I guess he's just putting on a brave face. After tonight, maybe we won't even need to do anything, and this Cao Xing will have courted his own death."

Hearing this, the Survivors of Wangjiang Pavilion gradually realized something.

"That's right! Even our Wangjiang Pavilion with so many people can't do it, how could this Cao Xing do it!"

"Exactly, and I also heard that Cao Xing hasn't formed a legion. Relying solely on the power of one territory, it's impossible to withstand the attacks of so many Ice Nests."

Thinking of this, they gradually calmed down.

Meanwhile, Wu Xinghu was on a call with another leader.

Seeing the system notification, his expression shifted slightly.

Then he chuckled and said: "That person has made a move. Shall we try using a wave of Ice Dragon Horns as well?"

A concise message came back from the other side.

"Okay."

Then, two system notifications appeared again.

It was Wu Xinghu and Zhou Bo.

They had also used the [Ice Dragon Horn (Small)] at the same time.

At this moment, the chat channel completely exploded!

Previously, they all said District 174 had no top-tier powerhouses.

However, now, following Cao Xing's actions, it was as if a chain reaction had been triggered, and suddenly, two more territories capable of handling the Ice Dragon Horn challenge appeared.

You must know, even in other districts, at most one legion had the strength to use an Ice Dragon Horn!

One can imagine how shocked those Survivors were.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue stood on the city wall, watching the scene outside the territory.

Just like before, over a hundred Ascalon Warriors were divided into five squads, defending five directions.

And they were led by five Dragon Blood Warriors respectively.

Assam, Andrew, and other core members were inside the territory, ready to provide support at any time.

Cao Xing praised: "Not bad, not bad. I have more and more powerful subordinates now."

"Just these five Dragon Blood Warriors alone are capable of holding their own."

At this moment, in each squad of Ascalon Warriors, three or four warriors had terrifying cold air constantly erupting from them.

Coupled with the [Frost Magic Shield], the sound of ice crystals shattering constantly echoed around them, even lowering the surrounding temperature significantly.

This was the effect of the [Source of Extreme Ice].

Everyone was ready for battle!

At this moment, Cao Xing felt the gusts of wind coming from overhead.

Whoosh—Whoosh—

He looked up and saw huge Ice Nests, like meteors in the night, whistling overhead.

And they slammed into the surrounding snow!

"Boom!"

The first wave of Ice Nests to descend numbered as many as 11!

The intense vibration made everyone in the territory terrified!

But they did not panic.

Because most of the people here had already experienced the same scene once.

And they believed that Cao Xing's power was enough to destroy all these Ice Nests!

However, those newly joined slaves looked outside the territory with some fear.

Even the physician Sabina, when seeing so many Ice Nests crashing down at once, had a hint of worry in her eyes.

She observed her surroundings, as if she had already thought about escaping at any moment.

Only that farm woman, still wearing a silly expression, stared blankly at the outside of the territory.

Meanwhile, as the first wave of Ice Nests fell.

Cao Xing quickly commanded: "Alice, this wave of Ice Nests appeared on your side."

"Lead your people to charge and fight immediately. Don't destroy these Ice Nests; just focus on killing the monsters that hatch from them."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, the Dragon Blood Warrior Alice whipped her long spear.

Then, like an elegant leopard, she led 20 Ascalon Warriors and charged over at the first opportunity.

Meanwhile, these eleven fallen Ice Nests emitted astonishing cold air.

With a tremble.

More than a hundred terrifying creatures, over a meter in size, covered in ice spikes, and resembling hyenas, crawled out from inside!

"Roar! Roar!"

Dull roars appeared.

Cao Xing glanced at them casually.

He found that these Ice Nest Monsters were all level 10 or above, which meant they were Tier 2!

However, the moment the Dragon Blood Warrior Alice saw these Ice Nest Monsters, her pupils constricted, and a surge of furious rage instantly ignited.

"You minions of Zhuoma, you all deserve to die!"

The next moment.

Alice pointed her long spear, and her entire figure disappeared from the spot like an arrow off a bowstring.

Her graceful figure flashed through the group of Ice Nest Monsters, triggering waves of damage!

[-2937] [-2863] [-3124] [-2862] [-2937]

Although the Ice Nest Monsters in front were Tier 2, their HP was only just over two thousand.

In an instant, more than a dozen Ice Nest Monsters were killed on the spot!

This move was precisely the second skill of the Dragon Blood Warrior: Dragon Spear Assault.

With a 147% damage coefficient, plus the bonus from Liu Muxue's [Honor Blessing], and the additional 30% damage bonus from the Dragon-Slaying Spear Technique, that was why such terrifying damage numbers were dealt!

[Your territory member: Alice killed Ice Nest Monster Lv15, gained EXP: 30]

[Combat personnel gained EXP: 15]

[Your territory member: Alice killed Ice Nest Monster Lv16, gained EXP: 32]

[Combat personnel gained EXP: 16]

[Your…]

Seeing the continuous kill notifications, Cao Xing nodded secretly, "Not bad, the combat power of the female Dragon Blood Warrior is not at all weaker than Jonard and the others!"

"However, because I chose the drop rate bonus, these Ice Nest Monsters don't give much EXP."

"But that doesn't matter. Thousands of Ice Nest Monsters will appear here soon!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt no fear at all; instead, he felt a sense of anticipation.

Meanwhile, those Ice Nest Monsters also saw Alice charging towards them.

Before they could pounce, Alice's figure disappeared from the spot again.

Swoosh!

Crack! Crack!

The sound of ice crystals shattering appeared continuously!

The Dragon Spear Assault skill of the female Dragon Blood Warrior didn't just happen once.

They could assault three times in a row!

Three afterimages flashed by.

At least fifty or more Ice Nest Monsters on the spot died instantly!

And just at this moment, the 11 Ice Nests in front trembled.

More ferocious Ice Nest Monsters crawled out from inside.

Among them were even elite-level Ice Nest Howling Wolves.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's heart stirred slightly.

"According to previous experience, it takes two or three minutes for the Ice Nests to hatch the second wave of Ice Nest Monsters."

"But now, not even a minute has passed, and the second wave of monsters has appeared."

"It seems that because I used a Medium Ice Dragon Horn, the frequency of monster appearances has also accelerated?"

Just at this moment, seeing the scene of over a hundred Ice Nest Monsters rushing towards her, Alice felt no fear.

She flicked her long spear and snorted coldly: "I am willing to forsake pain, life, and faith in exchange for the power to fight against dragons!"

"Ice Dragon Spear, Pierce!"

At this moment, following Alice's thrusting action, a four or five-meter-long ice spear appeared.

Then, carrying extremely terrifying momentum, it rushed out instantly.

"Whoosh!"

Intense wind whistled, and clouds of snow were kicked up in the snowfield.

At least a dozen Ice Nest Monsters had their bodies pierced through by this ice spear.

[-3542] [-3376] [-5285!] [-3421] [-3371]

A dozen terrifying damage numbers appeared.

Before that group of Ice Nest Monsters could react, a second ice spear condensed again.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Five consecutive ice spears were shot out!

The hundred or so Ice Nest Monsters that were charging were wiped out directly.

Relying on herself alone, she killed these hundred-plus Ice Nest Monsters within a minute!

And those Ascalon Warriors, because they had no opponents, stood there in a daze.

They exclaimed: "This female warrior's strength is truly formidable!"

"Indeed, I feel that she alone is enough to deal with a team of hundreds of Ice Nest Monsters!"

At this moment, the formidable combat power of the Dragon Blood Warrior was fully revealed!

Especially when dealing with dragons and their minions, she could exert even stronger power.

Seeing this scene, a look of joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Very good, worthy of being the personal guard of the Saintess; this combat power is truly off the charts!"

"When I form a Dragon Blood Warrior legion in the future, combined with my various statuses, even if I encounter more Ice Nest Monsters, I can just steamroll them!"

However, this state of the Dragon Blood Warrior could not last long.

Like Jonard and Josent and the others, after using the power of the dragon blood in their bodies, her face instantly turned extremely pale.

She bit her lower lip, and blood even seeped out from the corner of her mouth, as if she were enduring extremely great pain!

Only after they break through to the chieftain level and activate the [Dragon Blood Extraction] skill, combined with Cao Xing's [Eternal Power], can this pain be suppressed.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing directly ordered: "Alice, go back and rest for a few minutes. Leave the battle here to the other warriors; don't push yourself too hard."

Hearing Cao Xing's concerned words, a touch of emotion appeared in Alice's eyes.

She nodded slightly and then retreated.

The battlefield here was quickly taken over by the Ascalon Warriors.

Five minutes later, ten more meteors streaked across the sky, then slammed violently into another direction of the territory.

Jonard led the Ascalon Warriors directly to meet the newly hatched Ice Nest Monsters.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing calculated the frequency of the Ice Nest arrivals and thought to himself: "It seems the frequency of Ice Nest arrivals is one wave every five minutes."

"About 10 to 11 Ice Nests appear each time."

"In other words, there will be over 120 Ice Nests descending near my territory in one hour."

The first hour passed quickly.

Just as he had predicted, the number of Ice Nests that had descended near the territory reached 129!

This was a terrifying number, exceeding even the total count of Ice Nests from the previous four hours.

Moreover, because Cao Xing wanted to maximize his gains, he hadn't destroyed these Ice Nests.

This led to more and more monsters appearing.

Now, thousands of Ice Nest Monsters were attacking his territory every minute.

Cao Xing continued calculating in his mind while assessing his own strength.

"129 Ice Nests descend in an hour, and each Ice Nest can hatch over 10 monsters per minute."

"In other words, in just three more hours, the number of Ice Nest Monsters attacking the territory per minute will exceed three thousand!"

Just hearing this number, one knew how severe the upcoming battles would be!

Furthermore, the Ice Nest Monsters appearing were now all Tier 2 creatures; the Ascalon Warriors couldn't kill them in one strike.

However, they could still end the fight in at most two or three strikes.

Of course, high difficulty also meant high rewards!

129 Ice Nests in an hour meant over seven hundred Ice Nests in six hours.

By this calculation, that was at least over three hundred thousand Ice Nest Monsters.

If he could kill them all, even with only 20% of the experience points, Cao Xing could obtain millions of experience points in one go!

It could directly boost his level to the cap of level 30!

The other members' levels would also reach the current stage's cap.

Plus, there were massive amounts of Ice Dragon Mark and other rewards.

This time, Cao Xing estimated that just by killing the Ice Nest Monsters tonight, he could redeem a Gold Treasure Chest.

Of course, this was only an ideal scenario.

During this process, Cao Xing would definitely need to destroy some of the Ice Nests to alleviate the pressure on his combatants.

After all, the scene of three to four thousand Ice Nest Monsters attacking simultaneously every minute was still a bit too frightening.

Time passed continuously.

Boom! Rumble! The sounds of violent impacts were constant.

A large number of Ice Nest Monsters continued to pour out below.

As the monsters increased in number, Cao Xing sent Assam, Andrew, and the others out as well.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing's screen was being flooded with various level-up notifications!

[Your territory member: Yaskin has leveled up, current level: 19]

[Your territory member: Assam has leveled up, current level: 26]

[Your territory member: Gert has leveled up, current level: 16]

[Your…]

Below, white light rose from the Ascalon Warriors almost every moment.

Not only were their levels increasing, but their attributes were also skyrocketing!

The warriors were incredibly excited.

"The True God is above! I can feel my strength constantly growing!"

"What a terrifying speed of improvement!"

All the warriors had excited smiles in their eyes!

So far, they had been fighting continuously for an hour.

However, they didn't feel exhausted; instead, they fought with increasing vigor.

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

This feeling of levels skyrocketing was simply too satisfying!

As he spoke, a white light appeared on his own body as well.

[Your level has increased, current level: 24]

[Attributes gained from this level-up: Strength +5, Agility +7, Spirit +10, Constitution +7, Health +500]

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and said: "Not bad, not bad. At this rate, it won't be long before I can reach level 30!"

Next, another half hour passed!

The number of Ice Nest Monsters in each attack wave was increasing.

The number of Ice Nests that had slammed outside Cao Xing's territory had already exceeded 200!

This number meant that every minute, over two thousand Ice Nest Monsters were attacking their territory.

When Braun also joined the battlefield with his men, basically all the Ascalon Warriors had reached level 20!

That was the cap for Tier 2.

Successive improvements caused their strength to surge by another notch.

The battle continued.

Time quickly reached eight o'clock in the evening.

This was the second hour since Cao Xing used the [Ice Dragon Horn (Medium)].

Currently, there were 257 Ice Nests outside the territory.

The number of Ice Nest Monsters rushing out per minute had exceeded three thousand!

The Ice Nests that descended in the first hour had reached the hatching limit and were no longer sending out new Ice Nest Monsters.

Looking from Cao Xing's perspective, a massive number of monsters were surging from all directions in the snow!

Among them were a large number of elites and bosses!

If this scene were faced by other Survivors, they would probably be scared to death!

Meanwhile, Cao Xing also noticed that those Ascalon Warriors could no longer cover all the battlefields.

A portion of the Ice Nest Monsters had rushed to the base of the city wall.

But they were immediately met with the combined attacks of Elisa and the other archers, as well as the Elemental Arrow Tower and the War Ancient Tree.

Swish! Swish, swish! Arrows were fired one after another.

Before those Ice Nest Monsters could even get close to the wall, they were shot down by their combined efforts.

Seeing this, Cao Xing continued to issue orders: "All forces, attack."

"Rabb, lead your Wild Boar Warriors and move up."

"Braum, Hilda, you too, join the battle."

Upon receiving Cao Xing's order, the Wild Boar Warriors raised their twin blades, incredibly excited.

"Oh! It's finally our turn, I can't wait!"

"Wild Boar Warriors, charge!"

Meanwhile, Braun raised his shield high, jumped violently into the crowd of monsters, and began swatting them away!

The Blood Spider Queen Hilda was also hatching a large number of Blood Spiders, which rushed into the monster crowd to self-destruct.

They quickly split into six or seven groups and began to intercept those Ice Nest Monsters!

This was the first time Cao Xing had deployed his entire force.

Soon, they blocked all the gaps.

Meanwhile, white lights kept appearing.

Cao Xing watched his own level skyrocket.

[Your level has increased, current level: 25]

[Attributes gained from this level-up: Strength +7, Agility +5, Spirit +12, Constitution +6, Health +500]

[Your level has increased, current level: 26]

[Attributes gained from this level-up: Strength +5, Agility +6, Spirit +9, Constitution +8, Health +500]

Amidst the constant level-up notifications, time flashed by, and it was ten o'clock at night.

This was the fourth hour after using the [Ice Dragon Horn (Medium)].

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue had successfully reached level 30, the cap for Tier 3!

Both of their attributes surged by another large margin!

At this moment, Cao Xing also noticed that the Ascalon Warriors below were moving a bit slowly.

Four hours of continuous fighting had left them somewhat exhausted.

Cao Xing immediately ordered: "All Ascalon Warriors, return and rest for half an hour."

"Other Wild Boar Warriors, take their positions."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's order, the battlefield below fell into a brief moment of hesitation.

Although those Ascalon Warriors still wanted to continue fighting, they obeyed the order and quickly retreated to the territory.

At this moment, all 101 Ascalon Warriors returned to the territory without a single injury.

This scene not only shocked the newcomers, but even the 'farm woman', Victoria, showed astonishment in her eyes.

As the queen of a kingdom, Victoria naturally understood how astonishing it was to achieve such results on a large-scale battlefield!

In any war, it was impossible not to sustain casualties!

Moreover, this was while the enemy's numbers were several times their own.

Victoria couldn't even think of any explanation for this phenomenon; she could only describe it as a miracle.

She looked at the figure standing on the city wall, orchestrating the battle.

Curiosity compelled her to ask how Cao Xing had done it.

If she had his ability, perhaps they wouldn't have been defeated in that war against the Kingdom of Ostia back then.

However, Victoria hesitated for a moment, then finally gave up on the idea and reverted to her silly appearance…

Just then, the weathered and steady voice of the colonist Cao Yi sounded.

"Our new family members, I think everyone has seen that those soldiers possess what can be called immortal energy; this is the magical power our territory possesses."

"The moment you joined, you received the blessing of a Sacred Tree, which significantly increased our vitality."

Hearing this, the newcomers on the field nodded one after another.

Because they all felt a rich vitality appearing within their bodies.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Pale Tree in the center of the territory, which was over ten meters tall.

They also knew that this was the effect brought by this Sacred Tree.

The colonist Cao Yi continued with a faint smile on his face: "This Sacred Tree was cultivated bit by bit from a seed by the Lord."

"This territory was also built single-handedly by the Lord."

"And us, we all received the Lord's help when we were at our most destitute and helpless, becoming his colonists."

"No matter what your status was in the past, coming here means everything is a fresh start."

"The Lord treats us all equally…"

He began to utilize his [Primary Oratory Talent], starting to brainwash—no, starting to convey concepts to these newcomers.

Just then, a system notification appeared in Cao Xing's ear.

[Your colonist Cao Yi has gained a deeper understanding of linguistics through constant speeches, [Primary Oratory Talent] has evolved into [Intermediate Oratory Talent].]

At this moment, Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up!
