Chapter 275: Skyrocketing Points, Millions of Ice Dragon Marks! (6000)

Combat personnel began destroying the Ice Nests one by one.

[Your territory member Assam destroyed a Tier 2 Ice Nest, gained Experience: 80, Points +1]

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance destroyed a Tier 2 Ice Nest, gained Experience: 80, Points +1]

[Your…]

…

As the system notifications continued to appear, Cao Xing's points began to skyrocket crazily!

In the previous six hours of battle, his points had already reached 1,835.

And now, they were jumping wildly at a terrifying speed!

[2172 points]

[2975 points]

[3742 points]

[4823 points]

…

In the blink of an eye, they broke through 5000 points!

The Survivors who were watching the point leaderboard witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives!

Almost every minute or two, they would see Cao Xing's points rise by hundreds.

In the blink of an eye, it rose by another thousand points!

It caused the Survivors in the entire District 17 to exclaim in shock!

Yuan Liangquan: "Brothers, look at the leaderboard quickly. Great Lord Cao Xing is too monstrous!"

Guan Ju: "Holy shit! It's already broken 6000. What kind of godly speed is this?"

Tang Yuncong: "7000 now, and it's still rising. I'm stunned!"

"…"

The Survivors were completely shocked.

Without using the Ice Dragon Horn, everyone else's points were rising with great difficulty, only a few or a dozen points a day.

Unlike Cao Xing, who was skyrocketing by hundreds and thousands all at once!

Even the legion commanders of various large districts were attracted by this terrifying scene.

They stared fixedly at the point leaderboard.

They didn't even dare to breathe.

They all wanted to see just how ridiculously high Cao Xing's points could go!

After ten minutes or so.

Cao Xing's points finally stopped skyrocketing.

[District 17 Point Leaderboard]

[First Place: Cao Xing 10118 points]

[Second Place: Jiang Qingyun 1127 points]

[Third Place: Qiu Yating 937 points]

[Fourth Place: Yao Yiming 874 points]

…

Five-digit points, like an insurmountable mountain, made people feel despair!

It could be said that for the next two days, even if Cao Xing did nothing, no one would be able to surpass him.

No, let alone surpass him, they might not even reach one-fifth of his points.

The Survivors breathed a sigh of relief and then sighed with emotion.

"Truly terrifying, it broke through ten thousand points directly!"

"Great Lord Cao Xing really knows how to give us a shock every time…"

"Indeed, I am completely stunned… Breaking ten thousand points, what kind of concept is this? I don't think any territory in the entire global Survivor community has achieved this level, right?"

"That's right. I've been browsing the World Channel these past few days. Most of the leaderboard first-place holders in those large districts are at the same level as Jiang Qingyun now. The strongest ones are only at three or four thousand points. Not a single person's points can exceed Great Lord Cao Xing!"

"…"

Including Wu Xinghu, Zhou Bo, and Qiu Yating, who was holding a crystal ball, everyone looked at this scene with deep emotion.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qingyun, who was in his territory, had a gloomy face.

Because Cao Xing's performance this time had made him smell a sense of crisis.

"This Cao Xing's strength has far exceeded my imagination!"

"And based on what I've learned during this time, we know this kid holds grudges. He will definitely find a way to deal with me later…"

Thinking of this, a trace of regret appeared in Jiang Qingyun's heart.

He regretted why he was so anxious to target Cao Xing at the beginning. He should have observed for a while longer.

He was too confident in his own strength at that time, to the point of being overly arrogant.

Now it was too late to regret.

"Damn it, if this guy wants to deal with me, what should I do?"

"With my current strength, I am definitely not his match!"

"Only by relying on these native inhabitants, or rather, relying on the power of the Church of Light, can I resist Cao Xing."

"However, those ignorant guys don't believe what I say at all and don't take Cao Xing as a threat…"

Jiang Qingyun was extremely depressed.

…

Meanwhile, about two hundred kilometers away from Cao Xing's territory.

In Ji Xinyue's territory, seven or eight Survivors gathered.

This woman had actually established a legion through her development during this period.

Including the combat personnel and staff brought by other Survivors in the territory, the total number had exceeded two hundred.

Of course, the most numerous were the Ascalon Warriors.

Adding them up, there were actually nearly thirty of them, which was enough to activate the 20-person team status.

Her territory was close to the Ascalon underground palace, so she had obtained quite a few benefits.

Seeing the point leaderboard, a smile appeared on Ji Xinyue's lips.

"Great Lord Cao Xing has become even stronger!"

"Hehe, I have to work hard too! Once my legion here develops, I will take everyone to join Great Lord Cao Xing directly!"

…

…

Cao Xing's battle here was declared over.

News also came from Yao Yiming's side.

"Great Lord Cao Xing, I saw your point ranking. It's truly terrifying. Now the entire District 17 is discussing just how strong you are!"

His tone carried strong shock.

And beside him, Yao Ying's voice also rang out, "Brother Cao Xing is really amazing!"

Listening to his younger sister's crisp voice, Cao Xing's expression was a bit strange.

He replied: "How is the battle situation on your side? Any problems?"

Yao Yiming replied immediately: "No problem, Great Lord Cao Xing."

"The crossbow bolts you left behind are too powerful. And we don't need to be like you, waiting for the Ice Nest to spawn monsters before killing them, so it's basically smooth sailing."

Cao Xing nodded secretly and said: "Good. Keep those crossbow bolts there. Continue using the Ice Dragon Horn tomorrow to rush the leaderboard."

"But remember to contact me before using it. I will send someone over to prevent any unexpected situations."

"Alright, Great Lord Cao Xing."

Yao Yiming said gratefully: "This time, thank you very much…"

Although Yao Yiming wouldn't gain any experience by killing the Ice Nest with these crossbow bolts.

But Cao Xing not only helped him take second place but also promised to give him four blueprints and a Gold Treasure Chest.

The value of these items was already immeasurable.

Cao Xing said: "It's just mutual cooperation, nothing much. Keep working hard tomorrow."

Before Yao Yiming could answer, Yao Ying grabbed the chance to say: "Great Lord Cao Xing, I will take my brother and work hard together!"

Cao Xing smiled.

After speaking, both sides hung up the call.

Then, he came to the city wall and looked at the murderous warriors below.

"Everyone, this battle has ended."

"I am very satisfied with your performance!"

The warriors below exclaimed excitedly: "Haha!"

"It is our honor to be recognized by the Lord!"

"Lord, the Wild Boar Warriors fought the whole time this time, and no one retreated halfway!"

"The Ascalon Warriors too!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Not bad, not bad. Your strength has improved a lot."

"Now, all combat personnel, return to the territory to rest first."

"Cao Yi, take those goblin laborers and have them come out to clean up the battlefield!"

The citizen Cao Yi said respectfully immediately: "Understood! Lord!"

Their faces also carried a fanatical look.

Including the newly joined group of goblin laborers, they were all conquered by the powerful strength of Cao Xing's territory, and their loyalty increased significantly.

For his orders, they were basically obedient.

Under Cao Yi's leadership, they began to pick up the various materials scattered on the ground and refill the pits.

It took a full hour for them to clean up the battlefield.

Then, the citizen Cao Yi piled all the materials on the ground by category as usual.

He said respectfully: "Lord, please take a look."

Cao Xing nodded and said: "Good."

Looking at the few big mountains before him, his eyes carried a look of excitement.

Compared to the medium Ice Dragon Horn challenge, the quantity of materials this time was clearly several times more than before!

If the last time was small mountains of materials.

Then now, it was a large mountain of materials!

Unable to wait, he directly collected this pile of things on the ground.

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Mark * 1720782]

[Obtained: glacier shard * 876235]

[Obtained: Small Anti-Corruption Potion * 57]

[Obtained: Medium Anti-Corruption Potion * 5]

[Obtained: dragon rock ore (Gold) * 573]

[Obtained…]

…

When seeing the quantity of materials obtained this time, Cao Xing's pupils shrank!

"Holy shit! There are actually 1.7 million Ice Dragon Marks!"

The next moment, a look of strong surprise appeared in his eyes.

The harvest from this battle far exceeded expectations.

It directly earned back the 600,000 investment for exchanging for the Heart of Strength.

Besides these materials, there were also over five hundred pieces of dragon rock ore. Just these items were worth 570,000 Ice Dragon Marks.

This wave of large Ice Dragon Horn challenge, although the difficulty was very high, the returns were truly terrifying!

Cao Xing was very satisfied.

He even wanted to come again tomorrow.

But the large Ice Dragon Horn in his hand was gone.

There were still a few medium Ice Dragon Horns left.

At the same time, a figure came to Cao Xing's side.

It was Renice.

She said respectfully: "Lord, I have returned."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, Renice."

This capable archer in front of him shook her head, the single ponytail behind her swaying slightly.

"It's not hard work, Lord."

Then, she took out a large pile of materials from her backpack.

"This is what that Lord asked me to bring to you. They collected all the materials dropped by those Ice Nests."

Cao Xing was stunned. He hadn't even intended to ask for these materials.

After all, this time was letting Yao Yiming work for him.

He thought about giving him some benefits so he could exchange for things at the Dragon Shop.

It turned out Yao Yiming sent them himself.

Cao Xing didn't say much and directly collected all the materials in Renice's hands.

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Mark * 23523]

[Obtained…]

…

Compared to Cao Xing's harvest of 1.7 million Ice Dragon Marks this time, his twenty-thousand-plus seemed insignificant.

The reason it was so little was naturally because Yao Yiming destroyed the Ice Nests the moment they descended.

One must know that most Ice Dragon Marks were actually dropped by killing those Ice Nest Monsters.

"Renice, there's nothing else here. You go back and rest first."

"As you command, my Lord."

After saying this, Renice turned around and entered the territory.

By the time Cao Xing finished clearing out all the spoils of war, it was already past 1:00 AM.

He returned to the territory with a sense of satisfaction.

Then, he took Liu Muxue back to his Lords Manor.

After enjoying a comfortable hot bath, he wrapped his arms around the beautiful Liu Muxue and crawled into bed.

The two embraced, feeling each other's warmth, before Liu Muxue suddenly flipped over and sat up.

The female knight had a lithe figure and elegant movements.

The mage below lay still, feeling the warmth of his beauty.

After the female knight had her fill, she finally drifted off to sleep with a flushed complexion.

But Cao Xing, holding the beauty in his arms, did not fall asleep.

He pressed the communication device in his ear and listened intently to the sounds on the other end.

"Young Master, the Baron suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He says he wants to see you!"

Soon, the voice of Fitz Walker came from the other side.

"I understand. I'll be there right away."

Indeed, ever since he gave him that Shadow Cloak during the day, Cao Xing had been monitoring that kid, Fitz Walker, from time to time.

His movements were quite normal; after leaving Cao Xing's territory during the day, he went to harass the territories of other Survivors, forcing them to pay taxes.

But these Survivors did not have the strength of Cao Xing.

One by one, they could only obediently hand over their supplies, making their already impoverished territories even worse off.

After throwing his weight around, the Baron's son returned to the Baron's Manor.

After that, nothing special happened, other than the Baron's son finding a few maids for amusement.

All sorts of lewd sounds drifted into his ears.

But now, there seemed to be an unexpected situation.

The Baron, who had been poisoned by Fitz Walker, had actually woken up.

One could tell from the sound that the kid seemed panicked.

He didn't even bother to put on his Shadow Cloak before rushing out of his room.

Cao Xing was also quite curious about what the Baron would say after waking up.

Would he discover that Fitz Walker was a member of the Church of Light, or would he realize that he was the one who had poisoned him?

About half an hour later, footsteps were heard again.

The audio quality of the small communication device was still very good.

However, this time, there were two sets of footsteps.

Then, a woman's voice appeared in Cao Xing's ear.

"Child, do not be sad. Although your father is usually strict with you, he actually values you very much."

"I know… Mother. Father has the Goddess's protection; he will definitely be fine. I will go to Merlind City tomorrow, to the Eternal Frost Main City, to find the best doctor to come and treat Father!"

"Child… you have a good heart."

"…"

Through the conversation between Fitz Walker and his mother, Cao Xing learned that the Baron's awakening this time was a final burst of energy before death; he was already on his last legs.

The Baron's Manor had even sent people to the Eternal Frost Main City to report this news.

When the time came, after the Baron died and the Main City sent people to witness it, Fitz Walker would be able to ascend to the position of Baron.

After listening, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

The kid's progress was fast; it seemed the plan would succeed before long.

And Fitz Walker would be at his disposal, allowing him to do some things on his behalf.

However, it still wasn't very safe.

It would be best to find some other item to control this kid and keep him firmly in his grasp.

By then, controlling this puppet Baron would be equivalent to indirectly possessing the rights of the indigenous people.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing fell into a peaceful sleep.

Not long after they fell asleep, on a large lake over a thousand kilometers away from the territory, a large number of figures stood.

On the ice, a being dressed in red robes was staring at the Giant City nearby.

At this moment, a white-robed priest nearby came over and asked, "Bishop, are we starting the operation tonight?"

The red-robed Bishop nodded, "Yes. There are no clues from the Witch Forest for now. That assassin is extremely cautious and powerful; they are definitely an expert above Tier 6!"

"The Seed of Light has issued an order. To prevent any more accidents in the Gale Snowfield, we must launch our operation tonight!"

"Bishop Sains and Bishop Bella have already arrived."

"Even that person… has been sent by the Seed of Light."

"This time, there will absolutely not be any more accidents!"

Hearing this, a look of excitement appeared in the white-robed priest's eyes.

"That's great. We have finally reached the final step of the plan!"

Next, they continued to wait silently.

About five minutes later, the red-robed Bishop's expression shifted slightly.

Then, he looked at the cultists behind him, his eyes filled with the look of a madman.

"Everyone, are you ready to sacrifice your lives for the God of Light?"

The cultists on the field raised their weapons in unison and shouted in unison, "Ready! We are willing to sacrifice everything for the Great God of Light!"

Meanwhile, in Lake Doron City, a Giant City with a population of over a million, a large number of masked, black-clad beings infiltrated tonight.

They walked swaggeringly in from the direction of the city gate.

The city guards turned a blind eye to the arrival of these people and even nodded slightly at them.

At the same time, a golden barrier suddenly rose up, shrouding the entire Giant City!

In this dark night, a sun suddenly appeared in the sky!

Countless residents were sleeping soundly in their rooms when they suddenly saw a bright light coming through their windows.

"Johnny, is it dawn? I feel like I haven't slept for long."

"Carol, you've overslept. Hurry up and get dressed; we have to go out to collect herbs today."

"Harken, you lazy bum, get up quickly!"

"…"

Many residents in the city walked out of their houses in a daze, and when they saw the scene above their heads, they were astonished.

"By the gods! It's not dawn, but a sun has suddenly appeared in Lake Doron City!"

"Slo, Old Man Bruce, come out and look! A miracle has descended!"

Meanwhile, in the City Lord's Manor in the center of the city, a powerhouse with a face of about forty years old and an aura like a rock suddenly woke up.

He instantly picked up the sword by his bed and rushed out of the City Lord's Manor like a tiger released from a cage!

"Boom!"

All the furniture and windows along the way were shattered by his terrifying aura.

And when he arrived outside and saw the scene above, his expression changed instantly!

At this moment, the sun above Lake Doron City slowly descended.

It transformed into a being holding a holy scripture, wearing a mask, and dressed in yellow robes.

While flipping through the holy scripture in his hand, he chanted loudly.

"Good people, please remember that the Eternal Light can dispel all darkness, expose every lie, and illuminate every fallen soul."

"Even demons cannot escape the Eternal Light; neither can witches and sorceresses who are best at deceiving ordinary people, nor can the courtesans on the street who seduce men…"

"Therefore, abandon those immoral and unbelievable beliefs. Let the power of the God of Light cover your body, do not be tempted by evil thoughts; it will let you see all monsters and all sinners clearly, otherwise, it will burn you to ashes."

As he chanted, all the ordinary people in the city had a strange feeling.

It was as if some kind of terrifying will had truly descended.

It made them subconsciously kneel down!

At this moment, the powerhouse standing in the City Lord's Manor with his sword also saw the being floating in mid-air.

He instantly realized something.

"Damn it! It's the Church of Light!"

"Lieutenant Declan was right; these guys really want to attack our Lake Doron City!"

"Quick! Sound the city-wide alarm!"

As he spoke, a rapid alarm sound rang out.

"Woo——"

In an instant, the whole city entered a state of high alert!

A large number of soldiers poured out from various strongholds in the city!

At the same time, a large number of masked black-clad men appeared in the city!

The moment those black-clad men appeared, they began a frenzied massacre of the innocent civilians!

"Swish! Swish, swish, swish!"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Blades slashed across the necks of those residents, and blood sprayed out.

Sword blades penetrated their hearts and pierced their skin!

However, what was eerie was that those civilians let these black-clad men commit all kinds of atrocities, still kneeling on the ground!

One by one, ordinary people fell, and blood flowed out.

Those residents had intense fear in their eyes, and their whole bodies were even trembling.

However, under the constant chanting of the yellow-robed being in the air, these ordinary civilians were like possessed, muttering 'I am guilty', 'I am willing to let the God of Light cleanse my sins', while letting them pierce their bodies with sword blades or edges.

And those soldiers who rushed out, seeing this scene, looked terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

One of the soldier captains exclaimed.

"Damn it! The residents in the city have all been controlled!"

"These cultists have such eerie methods, hurry up and stop…"

However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his back.

Beside him, a soldier who had been with him day and night expressionlessly held a long sword and pierced his heart.

He struggled to turn his head, "Mavia… you…"

A look of fanaticism appeared in this soldier's eyes, "For the God of Light!"

"Pfft!"

The long sword was pulled out, and a column of blood sprayed up.

He put on a mask.

This sudden scene directly stunned the other soldiers.

Before they could react, more companions around them suddenly rebelled, picked up weapons, and slashed violently at those soldiers!

"Pfft! Pfft, pfft!"

Columns of blood sprayed up, and heads flew off!

The soldiers fell into a pool of blood one after another.

The soldier captain had tenacious vitality; he lay on the ground and said with difficulty.

"You… cultists…"

"His Majesty the King's Knights… will not let you off!"

Pfft!

The long sword pierced through his head, making him die completely.

The same scene was constantly happening in every corner of Lake Doron City!
