Chapter 26: Raiding the Hunter Camp

Chapter 26: Raiding the Hunter Camp

"Holy crap… a Leader-tier Recruitment Scroll!"

Cao Xing's eyes widened.

In this world, whether it is recruited creatures or wild ones, they are graded based on their potential.

Potential represents their strength and their growth capability.

Common, Elite, Boss, Leader, Commander.

The stronger the potential, the more stats they gain each time they level up.

Like the Icefield Druid, as an Elite-tier creature, its stats are 30% stronger than a Common creature, and it gains more stats per level up.

But now, this first-place reward actually skips the Boss tier and directly rewards a Leader-tier creature Recruitment Scroll. This is terrifying!

At this moment, Cao Xing decided to go all out and try his best to take the first-place reward!

System Announcement: "The leaderboard rankings are currently being calculated. You will be able to check your respective rankings on the leaderboard shortly."

At this time, the level leaderboard rankings had not yet been released.

However, the vast majority of Survivors globally who had confidence in themselves had already started taking action.

…

At this moment, Fang Long, who was operating outside in the snow, also heard the system prompt.

He opened the Three Heroes Association team channel.

"Everyone has seen it. The rewards for this leaderboard are very rich; just making it into the top 100 will net you plenty of supplies."

"And this time, we only need to compete with other Survivors in District 174, so the pressure isn't too high."

Upon hearing this, the other Survivors from the Three Heroes Association wore confident smiles.

Fang Long continued, "So this time, our Three Heroes Association will strive to take several spots in the top ten, and I will strive to take first place."

The Survivor named Ji Jun said, "Boss, is there anyone in District 174 who can compete with you?"

Fang Long pondered for a moment and replied, "There are still some."

"As far as I know, there are a few gangs in Hong Kong City that were already quite powerful, and in this world, they can leverage their strengths even more."

"Wu Xinghu and Zhou Bo—these people should all be my rivals."

After hearing Fang Long finish, Ji Jun nodded in realization, "Boss, what about that Cao Xing?"

However, Fang Long scoffed, "Him? Just a lucky guy who hasn't caught my eye."

Ji Jun nodded after hearing this.

Then, both sides hung up the communication.

Meanwhile, Survivors who had descended into this world globally all began to take action.

Wu Xinghu: "Brothers of the Tiger Hall, charge with everything you've got! Give it your all; we must secure several spots."

Zhou Bo: "Brothers of the Heavenly Blade Association, speed up your progress. Only by reaching level 10 before the Newbie Protection Period ends can we get the rewards!"

For a time, Survivors all over the world mobilized.

…

At this time, in Cao Xing's camp.

Liu Muxue also heard the system announcement and gazed at Cao Xing.

Although she didn't know what level Cao Xing was at compared to other Survivors.

But judging by his performance over the past two days, even if Cao Xing wasn't number one, at least the top ten wouldn't be a problem.

Cao Xing did not know what Liu Muxue was thinking.

Besides developing his territory, he now had another goal.

That was to take first place on the leaderboard!

Cao Xing looked at Assam and Andrew and gave the order directly, "Then, let's set off now."

"Target, the Hunter camp seven kilometers away!"

Assam responded first, drawing his longsword and saying loudly.

"Charging into battle for my Lord is my lifelong mission!"

Beside him, Andrew also said devoutly, "May I fight for the balance of nature."

After saying this, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, along with Assam and Andrew, walked out of the camp.

As for Ilena, she was left behind to guard the territory.

Rustle…

In the snow, the footsteps of the three people and one wolf could be heard constantly.

One Frost Wolf Knight, one Claw Druid, followed by two humans.

This strange combination walked through the endless snowfield just like that.

More than an hour later.

They arrived near the location Dahua had mentioned.

From afar, separated by about a kilometer, they indeed saw smoke rising in the snow ahead.

And beneath the smoke, Cao Xing saw a large camp, with a dozen or so tents scattered sparsely.

This was a fairly large Hunter camp.

When Cao Xing approached, a system prompt appeared in front of him.

[Hunter Camp: Special Area]

[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous]

(Note: This is a camp made up of fallen ones who worship evil gods, with extremely crazy and twisted mentalities. It is extremely dangerous for you at your current level; please stay away as soon as possible!)

Although the system prompt said this group of Hunters was very strong and Cao Xing's current strength was no match for them at all.

However, that was without taking Andrew and Assam into account.

Cao Xing did not retreat in the slightest and directly had Andrew and Assam accelerate forward.

He and Liu Muxue followed behind.

Cao Xing said, "Muxue, just stay by my side; leave the combat tasks to them."

Liu Muxue said softly, "Okay, Ah Xing."

A few minutes later, they approached the camp.

Meanwhile, a Hunter patrolling the camp also discovered Cao Xing and his group.

He exclaimed instantly, "Situation!"

"It's an enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Hearing the shouting, a large number of Hunters swarmed out of those tents.

Their attire was roughly the same; they wore thick snow gear, and on their faces were swirl masks similar to Uchiha Obito's, only blood-red.

At their waists were daggers, and on their backs were wooden longbows.

Cao Xing glanced casually and saw the stats of these Hunters.

[Hunter Lv4]

[Race: Human]

[Attack Power: 31 ~ 35]

[Health: 430]

[Skill: Slash]

[Hunter Scout Lv6]

[Race: Human]

[Attack Power: 54 ~ 47]

[Health: 660]

[Skills: Throwing Dagger, Assault]

The strength of these Hunters was roughly the same, basically consistent with Dahua's intelligence.

Thus, Cao Xing said directly, "Assam, Andrew, go."

Assam held the longsword emitting Aurora in front of his chest and controlled the Frost Wolf under his feet to charge at high speed.

"For honor!"

Thump! Thump-thump!

Andrew ran on all fours, in an animal-like form.

"The Lord will punish these destroyers of nature!"

Two powerful Tier 2 creatures charged into the group of Hunters just like that.

Then, they began a powerful crushing.

Boom!

Andrew dashed directly to a Hunter's side and swung his sharp claws amidst the Hunter's crazy gaze.

"Pfft!"

[-395]

[-6]

Exaggerated damage numbers floated up.

The Hunter's body was instantly cut into four pieces, and blood, like scattered flower petals, splattered onto the snow.

A system prompt appeared in front of Cao Xing.

[Your territory member, Andrew, killed a Hunter Lv4, gaining 40 EXP]

[Combatants Liu Muxue, Cao Xing, and territory subordinate Ilena gained half the EXP: 20]
