Chapter 212: Completing the Set, Ice Dragon Blood Siphon! (7200)

"Great Lord Cao Xing's points have reached 700. This is too terrifying!"

"Just as we expected, Great Lord Cao Xing was keeping those Ice Nests, waiting to destroy them all at once!"

"My god! To raise so many Ice Nests and let them hatch monsters, what kind of terrifying strength must he possess?"

The entire District 17 chat channel was completely ignited in the middle of the night.

A large number of Survivors started discussing because of Cao Xing's skyrocketing points.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyun was personally on the field, fighting against those Ice Nest Monsters.

However, he had already been fighting at high intensity all day and was nearly exhausted.

He had been surrounded by Ice Nest Monsters several times and nearly lost his life on the spot.

If it hadn't been for his subordinates sacrificing themselves to save him, Jiang Qingyun would have already been torn to shreds by the Ice Nest Monsters!

But even so, they had only managed to barely hold on through the second [Ice Dragon Horn] challenge after suffering over two hundred casualties.

Jiang Qingyun's face was crazed, and his pupils were bloodshot.

Looking at the two hundred corpses around his territory, there was no pity in his eyes.

He only cared about whether his own points were increasing.

"Very good, we finally resisted the second impact of the Ice Dragon Horn!"

"But the losses today were too great. It seems there's no way to organize personnel to carry out the third Ice Dragon Horn challenge in the short term. It's a bit of a pity."

"However, it doesn't matter. Currently, in all of District 17, I am the only one who has used the Ice Dragon Horn twice in a row. No other legion has this capability!"

"This time, I will definitely take first place!"

A look of excitement appeared on Jiang Qingyun's face.

But before he could be happy for long, the old man ran over and quickly told Jiang Qingyun about the leaderboard.

After hearing the report, Jiang Qingyun's expression immediately sank.

His eyes were filled with intense disbelief.

"Impossible! How could he be leading us by so much?"

"He is using the medium-grade Ice Dragon Horn! Facing thousands of Ice Nest Monsters every minute, this is simply impossible!"

However, the old man beside him looked helpless.

Although it was hard to believe, the points on the leaderboard now explained everything.

Furthermore, that man's points were still increasing at a terrifying speed.

Watching Cao Xing's points break through eight hundred!

You have to know, Jiang Qingyun had used the Ice Dragon Horn twice in a row and had only just broken four hundred points.

This was a number that bordered on despair for him.

Jiang Qingyun stood there in a daze, even forgetting about the attacks of the Ice Nest Monsters.

Wu Xinghu, Zhou Bo, and others were also shocked by Cao Xing's skyrocketing points.

At this moment, Wu Xinghu had a bitter smile on his face, then sighed: "So, this is your true strength?"

"Sigh… how could the gap be so large?"

At this moment, he seemed to understand why the other party had so decisively refused when he had asked Cao Xing to join his legion.

With his strength, he simply didn't need to huddle together with other Survivors for warmth.

This night, these large legion leaders had a vague understanding of Cao Xing's strength.

However, what they didn't know was that this was only a portion of Cao Xing's strength.

He still had many powerful trump cards that he hadn't used yet.

Moreover, after tonight, all the combat personnel in his territory would have their levels soar once again.

Their strength had already received a huge boost!

1:00 AM.

Hundreds of Ice Nests near the territory had all been cleared by Cao Xing, and his points finally stopped increasing.

He glanced at the ranking.

[District 17 Points Leaderboard]

[First Place: Cao Xing 1074 points]

[Second Place: Jiang Qingyun 417 points]

[Third Place: Chen Feng 257 points]

[Fourth Place: Wu Xinghu 249 points]

[Tenth Place: Zhou Bo 221 points]

And when they saw that astonishing four-digit number of Cao Xing, everyone fell silent.

This number was like a great mountain, crushing those below it on the leaderboard so they couldn't even catch their breath.

They didn't even have the courage to chase after him!

In the chat channel, there was a chorus of gasps.

However, Cao Xing had no time to worry about the discussions of the Survivors in the chat channel at this moment.

Because his gaze was already occupied by the [Ice Dragon Mark]s and [glacier shard]s covering the ground around the territory!

A strong sense of joy had already appeared in his heart!

"Hahaha! This wave is a huge profit!"

"I really wonder how many Ice Dragon Marks I can harvest this time!"

Cao Xing was already impatient to have people clean up the battlefield!

However, before cleaning up the battlefield, he still had to appease the warriors.

These two hundred combat personnel had killed hundreds of thousands of Ice Nest Monsters in the last six hours.

The massive amount of slaughter made them exude a fierce aura.

Everyone looked like a drawn blade!

What was even more astonishing was that Cao Xing's losses here were: zero!

Not a single person died!

The implications of this concept were almost self-evident.

The newcomers were completely stunned.

Including the three Dragon Blood Warriors, whose magnificent chests were rising and falling violently, looking at the man standing on the city wall in shock.

At this moment, they finally understood what Jonard and the others meant.

This was a magical territory!

The ability for the entire group to be nearly immortal was enough to drive all powers in this world crazy!

At this moment, a strange thought appeared in their hearts.

"If… if during the final battle back then, the Saintess had this person by her side, perhaps she really could have killed the Zhuoma Dragon in one fell swoop and completed the dragon-slaying feat that no one had ever accomplished!"

However, they could only think about it in their hearts.

And Cao Xing also said with admiration: "Everyone, you have worked hard."

"Tonight, you are all heroes of our territory!"

Hearing Cao Xing's praise, all the warriors raised their weapons high and shouted excitedly.

"To defend the honor of the Lord, we will fight to the death!"

Their eyes were filled with a fanatical aura!

Although there were only two hundred people, the momentum they erupted with was no less than that of a ten-thousand-man army!

Cao Xing smiled, then reached out his hand to calm down the excited warriors.

"Everyone, it is already late at night. Go eat something to replenish your stamina, and then you can go back to rest."

"Tomorrow, I will allow you to wake up late for training."

Hearing this, the combat personnel below also laughed.

Cao Xing continued to look at the people in the territory and asked: "Dahua, is our post-battle meal ready?"

Dahua stepped forward and said respectfully.

"It is ready, respected Lord. According to your instructions, this time we specifically made four hundred portions, enough for these heroic warriors to be full."

"Very good."

Cao Xing nodded and said: "Now, everyone go to the canteen and enjoy the food."

"Da Zhuang, take people and start cleaning up the battlefield!"

All the villagers replied loudly with excitement in their eyes.

"Understood! Lord!"

Following Cao Xing's instructions, the warriors returned to the territory.

The Arctic People began to head outside the territory to collect the loot dropped on the ground.

It took a full half hour.

They finally collected all the materials dropped by the Ice Nest Monsters near the entire territory.

At this moment, on the ground outside the territory, there were three small hills!

One was Ice Dragon Marks.

Another was glacier shards.

And there was another pile of miscellaneous materials.

Just seeing these materials made Cao Xing's breath hitch!

And an expression of disbelief appeared on Liu Muxue's face as well.

"My god… there are actually so many Ice Dragon Marks!"

"There must be at least over a hundred thousand, right?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, I estimate that after this time, my Ice Dragon Mark count can break 350,000."

Upon hearing this, Liu Muxue also had a look of joy on her face.

Cao Xing directly collected all the materials on the ground.

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Mark * 193621]

[Obtained: glacier shard * 107235]

[Obtained: Small Anti-Corruption Potion * 7]

[Obtained: dragon rock ore (Gold) * 72]

[Obtained: Small Attribute Book (Strength, Agility, Spirit, Constitution) * 432]

[Obtained: Medium Attribute Book (Strength, Agility, Spirit, Constitution) * 72]

At this moment, a strong sense of joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes!

A full 190,000 Ice Dragon Marks, 100,000 glacier shards!

What a terrifying number this was, it was almost self-evident.

And the Ice Dragon Marks in his hand added up to over 390,000, exceeding Cao Xing's expectations.

"Good, good, good. Just these Ice Dragon Marks are enough for me to exchange for three Gold Treasure Chests!"

With so many resources, of course, they had to be used to transform into his own strength.

Thus, Cao Xing brought everyone back to the territory.

The others went to rest, eat, or stand guard as appropriate.

As for him, he took Liu Muxue directly back to the Lords Cabin.

At this moment, the two of them were leaning against the stove, standing in the hall on the first floor of the Lords Cabin.

Then, Cao Xing traded 300,000 Ice Dragon Marks to Liu Muxue.

"Muxue, you still have three exchange opportunities. Use these Ice Dragon Marks to exchange for three Gold Treasure Chests now."

"Mm-hmm!"

A look of anticipation appeared on Liu Muxue's face.

Then, she opened the [Dragon Shop] and clicked to exchange.

The next moment, three hexagram arrays erupting with astonishing cold air appeared in front of them.

Hum! Hum hum!

Energy fluctuations erupted.

When the light dissipated, three pale golden treasure chests glowing with cold light appeared in front of Cao Xing.

The two looked at each other, both seeing the excitement in the other's eyes.

This was also the first time Cao Xing had opened so many Gold Treasure Chests; not being excited was impossible!

Just as he wanted to walk over to open the chests, he was prompted by the system.

[This treasure chest is a Gold Treasure Chest exchanged by Survivor: Liu Muxue; other Survivors cannot open it.]

Hearing this prompt, Cao Xing was stunned.

Then he shook his head and said: "Muxue, these chests can only be opened by you."

Liu Muxue was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, then said softly: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

After speaking, she stepped forward and opened the Gold Treasure Chests.

Liu Muxue didn't even check what had been opened and handed everything directly to him.

Cao Xing didn't say much and accepted it all.

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Ring (Gold)]

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Armor (Gold)]

[Obtained: Executioner Spear (Purple)]

[Obtained: Tier 3 Elite Dragon Blood Warrior Recruitment Scroll * 5]

[Obtained: Large Anti-Corruption Potion * 8]

[Obtained: dragon rock ore * 19]

From the three chests, two pieces of gold equipment and one piece of purple equipment were opened.

The luck was not bad.

Cao Xing had been able to open three pieces of gold equipment in a row before, which could be considered an explosion of luck.

And the most critical thing was that Liu Muxue had actually opened the [Ice Dragon Ring] this time!

You have to know, Cao Xing's three-piece Ice Dragon Blood suit was just missing this last piece!

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to check the attributes of this piece of equipment.

[Ice Dragon Ring (Gold)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Equipment Slot: Ring]

[Equipment Requirement: Level 20 or above]

[Attached Effect ①: Strength + 30, Spirit + 30, Critical Hit Rate increased by 20%]

[Attached Effect ②: Frozen Nova (When attacked, there is a 20% chance to release a layer of Frozen Nova, reducing surrounding enemies' attack speed by 30%, lasting for 20 seconds.)]

[Attached Effect ③: Intermediate Armor Penetration (When attacking, there is a 30% chance to ignore 300 points of enemy armor)]

[Note: Ice Dragon Soul Set 3/3, can form a set effect with the Ice Dragon Crown and Ice Dragon Ring.]

[After collecting the three-piece set, the set effect 'Ice Dragon Blood Siphon' can be activated.]

"This is actually a piece of equipment for the ring slot?"

Seeing the equipment introduction above, Cao Xing was thoughtful.

Come to think of it, he hadn't obtained a piece of ring-type equipment yet.

And the attributes above were not bad.

Especially the third effect [Intermediate Armor Penetration], which directly ignored 300 points of armor.

Since the system update, the armor calculation method had changed.

The damage increased by this 300 points of armor penetration was definitely more than 20%!

Cao Xing was very satisfied, then equipped it, and his attributes soared again instantly.

He glanced at his own attributes.

[Name: Cao Xing]

[Race: Blue Star Human]

[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Tier 3 Frost Mage)]

[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]

Seeing his panel attributes, Cao Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha! I am truly terrifyingly strong now!"

The three-piece Ice Dragon Set, plus the [Kingdom Holy Ring], and the [Dawn Light Staff].

Cao Xing now had five pieces of gold equipment!

Such high equipment quality resulted in his superb attributes.

With 468 Spirit, after casting [Ice Healing Art], combined with the 32% Life Blessing from the Pale Tree.

Plus the 50% healing bonus from the [Kingdom Holy Ring], and the 20% bonus from the staff.

He could now recover 752 health points per second, reaching 45,000 health recovered in a minute!

Even [Ice Armor] could directly increase armor by 337 points!

"Great, great, great! The defense I have now after applying Ice Armor is almost comparable to a warrior of the same level!"

Cao Xing's critical hit rate also reached 45%, a critical hit probability nearly exclusive to those assassins.

This indirectly boosted his damage by another notch!

However, the surprises were not over yet.

At the same time, a second system notification appeared.

[Congratulations! You have collected the three-piece Ice Dragon Soul set and successfully activated the set effect: 'Ice Dragon Blood Siphon'.]

[Ice Dragon Blood Siphon: When launching a magic attack or physical attack, absorb 20% of the damage dealt as health points.]

…

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's pupils constricted instantly.

"Holy crap! Magic lifesteal!"

A look of uncontrollable ecstasy appeared in his eyes!

This was actually a magic lifesteal special effect.

With his current attack power of 1,800, adding Liu Muxue's [Blessing of Courage] bonus, it became 2,200 attack power.

A casual [Ice Ball] could recover at least over 400 health.

If he cast those powerful skills, the recovered health would be even more!

Coupled with his own [Ice Healing Art] and Andrew's [Life Bloom].

"Hahaha! Now I won't die even if I stand and go head-to-head with a warrior of the same level!"

"I reckon the health he chips away won't be as much as what I recover!"

A joyous smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Even Liu Muxue, who was by his side, felt happy for Cao Xing.

"That's great, Ah Xing!"

Cao Xing nodded with a smile and replied, "Let me check the attributes of the second piece of equipment; this one seems to be for you."

Then, he took out a suit of armor that was crystalline in color throughout.

He glanced at the attributes.

[Ice Dragon Armor (Gold)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Wear Requirement: Level 20 or above]

[Armor: 248 ~ 281]

[Attached Special Effect ①: Strength +50, Constitution +50, Health Points +2000]

[Attached Special Effect ②: Intermediate Damage Reduction (Reduces 20% of damage taken when receiving physical or magic attacks)]

[Attached Special Effect ③: Ice Dragon Roar (When executing a charge, movement speed increases by 30%, armor increases by 20%, lasts 5 seconds, cooldown 20 seconds.)]

[Note: Ice Dragon Set 1/3, can be combined with the Ice Dragon Helmet and Ice Dragon Armor to form a set effect.]

[After collecting the three-piece set, you can activate the set effect: 'Ice Dragon Guardian'.]

…

Likewise, this was a very powerful piece of equipment.

Especially the third special effect, which, after the bonus from [Eternal Power], could become a permanent effect, significantly increasing Liu Muxue's mobility and defense.

Of course, the buff effects on the equipment would disappear immediately after taking it off, which was an effect Cao Xing had discovered by accident.

However, this was normal; if equipment effects didn't disappear after taking them off, Cao Xing could just go to the trading channel to buy various green and blue gear with special effects, stack statuses like crazy, and soon become invincible.

Cao Xing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Muxue, I remember you have a Level 30 purple armor, the Crystal Armor, right?"

Liu Muxue nodded slightly, "Yes, I haven't had the chance to put it on yet."

After saying that, she handed the [Crystal Plate Armor] to Cao Xing.

Cao Xing looked at the attributes of both pieces of equipment, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The Level 30 purple armor had armor even higher than the Ice Dragon Armor.

However, its special effects were not as good as the Ice Dragon Armor.

Moreover, the latter had a set effect once the three-piece set was collected.

Thus, Cao Xing handed the [Ice Dragon Armor] to Liu Muxue.

"Muxue, put this on."

"As for that Crystal Plate Armor, let's give it to Braum or Assam."

Liu Muxue obediently took it.

Right in front of Cao Xing, she took off her armor, revealing the white undergarment inside.

Although this undergarment was relatively loose, it still couldn't hide her proud figure.

Especially that pair of magnificent breasts, whose contours could be faintly seen.

Then, Liu Muxue changed into this Ice Dragon Armor.

Like the boots, the appearance of the armor was also a crystalline white.

It provided defense without sacrificing aesthetics.

After putting it on, Liu Muxue looked like a heroic female knight.

Coupled with her pose of holding a sword in one hand, it made people stare in amazement.

Noticing Cao Xing's gaze, Liu Muxue asked softly.

"Is… is it good-looking? Ah Xing?"

Cao Xing nodded, "It's good-looking."

Hearing this, a flush of shyness appeared on Liu Muxue's stunningly beautiful face.

Then, she said bashfully, "Then… then today I'll wear this outfit and do it with you… okay?"

Hearing that last sentence, Cao Xing's inner flames were ignited in an instant.

He grabbed Liu Muxue's fair arm, pulled her over abruptly, and then pulled her into his arms.

At this moment, the beauty in front of him lowered her head, appearing both shy and somewhat expectant.

To be honest, as one of the top ten recognized goddesses of Xiangjiang City, Liu Muxue could pull off any style.

However, this knight outfit added an exotic beauty to her.

Cao Xing gradually reached his hand into the armor, stroking her warm, soft body.

Liu Muxue's body temperature was gradually rising, and she was writhing in his arms.

The two first had a bout of struggle in the Lords Cabin, and later the battlefield gradually moved upstairs.

At this moment, Liu Muxue was lying on her back on the edge of the bed, still wearing the armor on her upper body, while her lower body was bare.

A pair of long, fair legs were swinging in the air.

The beauty's legs were hooked over his arms.

"Ah Xing… Ah Xing…"

The beauty's charming voice kept coming.

And Cao Xing directly picked her up.

Liu Muxue wrapped her arms around Cao Xing's neck, her whole body hanging on him like an octopus.

"Ah Xing… so…"

"So amazing…"

The waves of impact kept coming.

Making the beauty take deep breaths continuously.

Her fair skin also gradually turned a light pink.

In the end, the Ice Dragon Armor on her upper body was also removed.

A perfect figure was revealed.

No matter how many times he looked, Cao Xing couldn't help but marvel at the perfect body proportions of the beauty before him.

Then, Cao Xing gently placed Liu Muxue on the bed.

Inside the warm quilt.

They engaged in a second battle.

And following Cao Xing's attacking movements.

The beauty gripped the corner of the bear skin tightly, her brows slightly furrowed.

However, this was not pain, but an indescribable emotion.

From her mouth, a faint sound leaked out…

"Mm…"

The two's battle lasted until past one in the morning.

Accompanied by a long and ethereal sound of breathing, the beauty's head tilted onto Cao Xing's shoulder.

Liu Muxue lay in Cao Xing's arms, gently clinging to him.

The two felt each other's body temperature, enjoying the tranquility after the storm.

The beauty stretched out her jade-white fingers, tracing them continuously over Cao Xing's chest.

"What's wrong, Muxue?"

She lowered her head shyly, "No… nothing…"

"It's just that I… my legs are a bit weak…"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was also stunned for a moment.

Come to think of it, his movements just now were indeed a bit…

He stroked the beauty's perfect jawline and said, "I'll be gentler next time."

However, the beautiful knight in front of him quickly said, "No… no need…"

"I still want to… let me be on top next time…"

Hearing this, Cao Xing even wanted to start a third battle.

However, considering her body.

Cao Xing gently patted her buttocks, which were as soft as tofu, "Alright, then next time."

Hearing Cao Xing agree, the beauty gave a shy 'Mm'.

Then, Cao Xing carried the limp, weak, and flushed beauty back to the bed.

…

Night fell…

Cao Xing was sleeping sweetly while holding Liu Muxue in his arms.

Around two or three in the morning, he was suddenly awakened by a system notification.

[Your territory member: Sabina attacked territory member: Ilena…]

[Your territory member: Renice Eagle-Eye attacked territory member: Sabina…]

At the same time, a commotion came from outside.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue quickly opened their eyes.

"Ah Xing… what happened?" Liu Muxue's eyes were filled with worry.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "I'll go out and take a look, you rest well."

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be anything major."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue nodded slightly, "Okay."

At the same time, Cao Xing quickly put on his clothes.

Then he went straight outside the Lords Cabin.

As soon as he came out, he saw Renice, Ilena, Sarah, and three female Dragon Blood Warriors surrounding the physician Sabina.

Cao Xing even noticed that a few scales on Ilena's lower body had fallen off, and purple blood was seeping out, as if she had been attacked by some kind of poison.

An arrow was also stuck in Sabina's shoulder.

These powerful women were surrounding Sabina with grim expressions, ready to subdue her at any moment.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing frowned and asked, "What happened?"

At this moment, Ilena explained, "Lord, I saw this woman sneaking out of her room in the middle of the night, and she also went to the canteen to steal some food."

"She was acting suspiciously in the territory, and when she tried to climb the city wall, I realized she wanted to escape, so I called out to her."

"Then this woman launched an attack on me!"

"Ms. Renice heard the commotion and immediately came over to stop her."

Ilena gripped her trident, her long, narrow snake eyes fixed on Sabina, seeming very angry.

Hearing this, Cao Xing also understood what had happened.

He looked at Sabina again.

"You wanted to escape?"

The woman in front of him, dressed in coarse linen clothes, biting her lower lip, with a determined expression, said.

"Yes."

She admitted it frankly.

"Why did you want to escape?" Cao Xing continued to ask.

"I killed that disgusting baron, and then I was wanted by Duke Kadelov."

"Although I escaped, my family is still there, and I must go back to save them."

"As for attacking this Snake-Person lady, it was an instinctive action, not intentional, and I am deeply sorry for it."

After speaking, Sabina covered the wound on her shoulder and knelt down on both knees to Ilena on the spot.

"I am very sorry, madam."

Seeing her apologize so solemnly, everyone was stunned on the spot for a moment.

Even Ilena was a bit uneasy…

Cao Xing looked at Ilena, "Do you accept her apology?"

Ilena thought for a moment, then said, "If it was unintentional, then… then it doesn't matter…"

Hearing this, Sabina below breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She could feel how powerful these women on the field, including this Lord, were.

They could easily kill her.

Renice had held back just now; otherwise, given Sabina's physique, one arrow would probably have pierced her heart directly!

Sabina said apologetically again at this moment, "Lord, first of all, I apologize to you for my escape attempt."

"I know you spent quite a lot of crowns to buy me, and as a slave, such an act of betrayal is not allowed."

"If you want to punish me, or even execute me… I… I am willing to accept it!"

She bit her lip and said firmly.

This woman had a good plan for her actions.

Although she failed, she was already prepared to bear the consequences.

Even death…

And Cao Xing thought for a moment.

He asked, "You want to go back to save your family?"

Sabina still dared not look up, "Yes."

"With your strength, can you do it?"

Hearing this question, Sabina was stunned for a moment.

Then she slowly shook her head, "I… I can't do it…"

Cao Xing was speechless, "Then why are you going back? To seek death?"

Sabina opened her mouth, her voice choked.

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

Both sides were silent for a moment.

Cao Xing was also thinking about how to deal with this woman.

At this time, he suddenly said, "How about this, I'll give you a chance."
