Chapter 292: Powerful Deity Altar, Looting the Warehouse! (6000)

[Balthazar's Divine Warrior Altar (Orange): Special Building]

[Quality: Epic]

[Item Effect: You can submit a certain amount of sacrifices to obtain ancient blessings, allowing your subordinates who are max-level warrior-class professions to advance.]

[Sacrifice Details Required for Advancement]

[Tier 2 breaking through to Tier 3: 10,000 crowns, 200 food, 20 mithril, 50 Intermediate Elemental Crystals (Remaining uses: 4623 / 5000)]

[Tier 3 breaking through to Tier 4: 50,000 crowns, 1,000 food, 100 mithril, 10 Advanced Elemental Crystals (Remaining uses: 2193 / 2500)]

[Tier 4 breaking through to Tier 5: The altar lacks divine power, this function is currently unusable (can be unlocked by replenishing divine power)]

[Tier 5 breaking through to Tier 6: The altar lacks divine power, this function is currently unusable (can be unlocked by replenishing divine power)]

(Note: The altar of a dead deity who once brought war, fire, and chaos to this world… His believers spread all over the world and frantically built such altars, sacrificing offerings to gain immense power, and then starting even more violent wars.)

(Because of this deity, the entire world fell into endless flames of war. Everyone wanted to become stronger; plundering, slaughtering, and sacrificing were the main themes of that era.)

(To maintain the order of the world, the Six True Gods launched an eternal war against the God of War. In the endless battle, the God of War was defeated by the Six True Gods and died.)

(Later, the Six True Gods descended an oracle, destroying most of the ancient altars in the world, but a small portion was lost in some rarely visited ruins. Due to the passage of time, these altars have gradually lost their due divine power.)

…

After reading the introduction of this altar, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly constricted.

"Holy crap! You can advance just by submitting sacrifices, and you can even complete the advancement from Tier 3 to Tier 4!"

He was stunned right on the spot.

The function of this altar exceeded Cao Xing's imagination.

You must know, what was he lacking the most right now?

Naturally, it was the Heart of Power for breaking through from Tier 3 to Tier 4.

After all, hundreds of residents in his territory were stuck at Level 30 and couldn't break through.

And now, with this altar, there was no need to look for any Heart of Power; he could just break through by submitting sacrifices directly!

"No wonder there are so many Tier 4 raiders in this camp; it turns out they had this thing!"

"This is so awesome!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed.

Of course, wanting to use this altar to break through was not without a price.

A soldier breaking through required a massive amount of resources.

If the hundreds of warriors in Cao Xing's territory all broke through, it might hollow out his territory's resources.

Moreover, there was still a problem in front of Cao Xing.

That was whether this thing could be stored in his backpack.

If not, he would just have to let a few strongmen in the team carry it back.

Anyway, Cao Xing was determined to get this thing!

He tried to collect it.

The next moment, this massive altar disappeared.

[Obtained: Balthazar's Divine Warrior Altar (Orange) * 1]

…

"Haha, it really works!"

Once happy, Cao Xing looked at the Blood Spider Queen beside him and felt she looked extra pleasing to the eye.

"Hilda, well done. This altar is of great use to me."

"I see that you usually spit Blood Poison in battles. Do you need any weapons? I'll get you one next time."

Seeing Cao Xing so happy, Hilda hooked the corners of her mouth into an arc.

"This Queen doesn't need any weapons. However, if you can retrieve the lost Spider Queen's Scepter for me, that would be even better."

"Spider Queen's Scepter?"

Hilda nodded, "Yes, it is a Legendary-quality scepter. Unfortunately, after this Queen died, that scepter was lost."

Hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

It was actually a Legendary-grade weapon?

According to the setting of this world, every Legendary weapon is unique, and only the chosen one has the opportunity to obtain it.

Judging by this, Hilda's background is really not small.

Cao Xing asked, "Do you have any clues about this scepter?"

"No."

Hilda shook her head and said, "However, you can ask that woman from the Holy See; she should know something."

"This Queen doesn't want to talk to her."

Cao Xing nodded, "Alright, I understand."

"I will find a way to help you retrieve this scepter."

Hearing Cao Xing's promise, a stunningly beautiful smile appeared on Hilda's eerie face.

However, she quickly returned to her usual arrogant look.

"Tch! If you want to look for it, go ahead. This is not this Queen begging you to find it."

Cao Xing was speechless.

However, he was still very happy inside.

It can be said that this trip into the camp, even without any other gains, was already worth it just for this altar.

And at this moment, Sarah appeared silently beside the two of them.

"Lord, I have successfully found their warehouse."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up.

You must know, the reason he attacked this camp was precisely for their supplies.

Now, the moment for harvest had finally arrived!

"Very good, take me there!"

After saying that, he called everyone else over and followed Sarah all the way forward.

Walking towards the depths of the cave, which was where the goblin mecha came out.

The further they walked inward, the dimmer the light inside became.

Then, a huge stone at least three to four meters high blocked everyone's way.

Seeing this situation, Cao Xing looked at Braum and Assam beside him, "Go on, push this stone away."

The two stepped forward upon hearing this.

At this moment, Braum roared and once again entered the Frost Giant form.

And Assam had already pressed both hands on this giant boulder.

The two shouted at the same time, "Lift!"

"Rumble!"

This boulder, weighing an unknown number of tons, was pushed away by the two using brute force.

And when Cao Xing saw what was hidden behind the giant stone, his eyes instantly widened.

Even his breathing became somewhat hurried.

Inside, Cao Xing saw a large number of boxes, neatly placed with various fabrics and ores on top of them.

It looked like no less than dozens of boxes!

However, this was only the first area. Further inside, Cao Xing saw even more boxes, packed full of various materials.

Magic crystals, refined iron, copper, and even a large amount of mithril and Eternal Gold Ingot!

"Holy crap, these bandits actually hid so many things?"

"This time we really struck it rich!"

Including Sarah and Assam and the others beside him, joyful smiles also appeared on their faces.

Braum laughed, "Aha! We found these rats' granary; so many supplies!"

Carrying a look of pleasant surprise, Cao Xing walked over quickly.

[Found storage box of the Luna Chamber of Commerce, open it?]

[Found storage box of the Luna Chamber of Commerce, open it?]

[Found…]

…

A large number of system prompts appeared.

Cao Xing clicked 'Yes' on all of them.

"Clang! Clang!"

All dozens of boxes were opened, and a large amount of woven fabrics suddenly appeared inside.

There were very warm woolen fabric rolls, extremely smooth silk fabric rolls, and some fabric rolls Cao Xing had never seen before, dazzling in variety.

Cao Xing also scooped up all the fabrics inside and outside the boxes in one go!

[Obtained: crowns * 2,749,321]

[Obtained: Linen Fabric Roll (White) * 172]

[Obtained: Silk Fabric Roll (Green) * 121]

[Obtained: Thin Gauze Fabric Roll (Blue) * 87]

[Obtained: Intact Wolf Pelt * 17]

[Obtained: Fine Ermine Pelt * 54]

[Obtained: Gorgeous Ball Gown * 7]

[Obtained: Snow Sparrow Light Feather Robe (Purple) * 1]

…

Looking at the pile of fabrics and seven or eight pieces of clothing that suddenly appeared in his backpack, Cao Xing said excitedly, "Haha! Over two million crowns, hundreds of rolls of fabric, dozens of pelts, plus a purple feather robe!"

"So comfortable!"

Carrying an excited expression.

He glanced at the attributes of the newly obtained fabric.

[Thin Gauze Fabric Roll (Blue): A light and thin fabric made of fibers, featuring softness, breathability, and light-transmitting characteristics. It is only a few millimeters thick, soft in texture, and has a great drape, giving garments a wonderful sense of fluidity and elegance.]

(Thin gauze fabric can be used to make some evening gowns and dresses, which are the favorites of some noble women and matrons.)

[Gorgeous Evening Gown]

[Armor: None]

[Attached Special Effect: None]

(An evening gown made of thin gauze fabric, a favorite among noble women.)

"Oh? Fabric for making gowns, and already made gowns?"

"These gowns look quite luxurious, but they aren't very warm. However, they should sell for a good price."

After all, Marita, the noblewoman Cao Xing had contacted before, and witches all liked to wear this kind of gown.

So Francesca should like it.

Along with Juliette, Nive, and other women in the territory.

After all, which woman doesn't like pretty clothes?

Thinking of this, Cao Xing stored them into his backpack.

Then, he took out a pure white feather robe from his backpack.

This feather robe was held in his palm, floating like a cloud, and he couldn't feel much weight at all.

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.

[Snow Sparrow Light Feather Robe (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Armor: None]

[Attached Special Effect ①: Thermal Energy Absorption]

[Attached Special Effect ②: Snow Sparrow Shelter (After activation, this feather robe turns into a pair of wings, carrying you for a brief flight of 20 seconds, Cooldown: 1 hour)]

(Note: Snow sparrow is an extremely rare bird living in the depths of the mountains. The feathers on their bodies are light in texture and contain magic power, so the price is extremely high. However, because of their small size, it often takes the feathers of thousands of snow sparrows to make a single feather robe.)

"Good fellow, a feather robe with two special effects; this is many times more precious than clothes made from the hair of a Cloud Yak!" Cao Xing exclaimed.

The effect of this feather robe was extremely good.

Not only did it come with thermal energy absorption, but it also had the function of short-term flight.

According to estimates, the price of this feather robe was conservatively over 5,000,000 crowns!

However, the cost of making this kind of clothing was also very high; it actually required hunting so many snow sparrows to make one piece.

According to the system's introduction, snow sparrows are extremely rare magical creatures.

If it weren't for them hiding in the depths of the mountains, they would probably have been slaughtered by these hunters.

And for those hunters, they didn't care about the ecology of the snow sparrows at all.

As long as there were profits, people would do such things.

Cao Xing didn't feel much about it; after all, he wasn't the one who killed them.

Thinking of this, he took off the Cloud Yak clothes on his body and changed into this [Snow Sparrow Light Feather Robe].

The lightweight feather robe covered his body.

The same warmth came over, and compared to the Cloud Yak coat, this thing was really light.

Wearing it on his body felt almost as if there was no weight at all.

"Not bad, not bad."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

The first area yielded a rich harvest, which made him even more look forward to the subsequent gains.

Then, he continued to walk towards the depths of this cave warehouse.

Soon, Cao Xing came to the second area.

Large boxes also appeared inside.

Except they were not locked.

Cao Xing saw that they were filled with a large amount of refined iron, copper, and even mithril!

"Holy crap, they even have this stuff? Could the materials to repair that mech outside be gathered right here too?"

With excitement, Cao Xing swept everything inside the chests clean!

[Obtained: Iron * 36321]

[Obtained: Copper * 8632]

[Obtained: Refined Iron * 17379]

[Obtained: Mithril * 3785]

[Obtained: Eternal Gold Ingot * 452]

…

Seeing the system prompt and the massive amount of metal that appeared in his backpack, Cao Xing almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha!"

"With this many Eternal Gold Ingots and Mithril, the materials to repair that mech are completely sufficient!"

Liu Muxue's face beside him also showed a look of joy.

The harvest in the second area was equally astonishing.

With light steps, Cao Xing continued walking deeper inside.

Four or five more chests appeared before him.

[Discovered Goblin Southern Chamber of Commerce Cargo Box, open it?]

[Discovered Goblin Southern Chamber of Commerce Cargo Box, open it?]

[Discovered…]

…

"Oh? Do these chests belong to the Goblin Chamber of Commerce?"

Along the way, Cao Xing had seen the Luna Chamber of Commerce and Black Lion Chamber of Commerce cargo boxes, and now he was seeing the Goblin Southern Chamber of Commerce cargo boxes.

These Snow Mountain Raiders really robbed anyone and everyone.

Even a dog passing by would have to leave two legs behind before it could walk away.

However, all these things now benefited Cao Xing for cheap.

As usual, he clicked to open all of them.

"Clang! Clang!"

In an instant, more than a dozen chests opened.

A large number of gems, goblin bombs, and magical energy crystals the size of a human head immediately appeared inside!

Cao Xing's breathing hitched.

"As expected of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce's cargo boxes, there is so fucking much stuff in here!"

Without standing on ceremony, Cao Xing collected everything into his backpack.

[Obtained: Amethyst Fragment (Blue) * 17]

[Obtained: Red Carnelian Fragment (Blue) * 28]

[Obtained: Lazurite Remnant (Blue) * 32]

[Obtained: Malachite Orb (Purple) * 4]

[Obtained: Coral Orb (Purple) * 6]

[Obtained: Goblin Shrapnel Bomb (Blue) * 172]

[Obtained: Goblin Freezing Bomb (Purple) * 57]

[Obtained: Goblin Mechanical Repair Kit * 12]

[Obtained: Advanced Magic Energy Crystal * 372]

[Obtained: Expert-grade Magic Energy Crystal * 21]

…

"Holy cow, so many gems? And so many Advanced Magic Energy Crystals and Expert-grade Magic Energy Crystals."

"So awesome!"

With a look of pleasant surprise,

Cao Xing began to check the stats of these orbs.

There was not much need to look at those blue-tier gem fragments; they didn't add many stats.

What Cao Xing mainly checked were the stats of the two purple-tier orbs.

[Malachite Orb (Purple): Can be embedded in weapons, increases 50 points of Strength and 100 points of Physical Attack Power]

(Complete Malachite Orbs are relatively rare. Only one or two might appear in an entire small malachite vein, requiring advanced forging technology to embed)

…

[Coral Orb (Purple): Can be embedded in weapons, increases 50 points of Spirit and 100 points of Magic Attack Power]

(An orb synthesized from a large number of coral gem fragments, containing strong spiritual fluctuations. It requires advanced forging technology to embed.)

…

"Not bad, not bad. As expected of a purple-tier orb, it can actually add so many stats and attack power."

Although Cao Xing had even more powerful golden orbs in his backpack,

this kind of thing was definitely the more the merrier.

Whether used to embed into his subordinates' weapons or sold off, it was a handsome income.

With excitement, Cao Xing took out a black crystal the size of a fist.

[Expert-grade Magic Energy Crystal: A magic energy crystal containing 10,000 units of energy, which can provide more energy for machinery or other equipment.]

(Note: Ordinary magic energy stones have an energy reserve of 100 units.)

…

"Good lord, a single Expert-grade Magic Energy Crystal actually has 10,000 points of magic energy!"

You must know that an Advanced Magic Energy Crystal contained 2,000 units of energy.

And this time, he obtained nearly 400 pieces of both types of magic energy crystals!

Added together, the magic energy crystals Cao Xing obtained this time were close to reaching one million units of energy!

In this way, not only were the materials to repair that mech outside resolved, but its subsequent consumption was also directly resolved.

And more importantly, his own furnace had already upgraded to Level 16.

After upgrading to Level 21 and turning into an Energy Station, the number of magic energy crystals required would skyrocket, so this thing would be a universal resource in the later stages—the more, the better.

In addition, a bomb the size of a human head that exuded chills throughout its body appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

[Goblin Freezing Bomb (Purple)]

[Attack Power: 2515 ~ 2617]

[Attached Special Effect 1: Frost Blast (After detonation, deals 100% Ice-attribute blast damage to all enemies within a 15-meter range)]

[Attached Special Effect 2: Ice Eruption (Erupts a large amount of ice energy towards enemies within 10 meters of the explosion center, with a 50% chance to inflict a 1 ~ 5 second freezing state)]

(A special bomb developed by the Goblin race. By absorbing the ice energy contained within the Ice Crystal Stone and compressing it into this bomb, it possesses decent explosive power while also being able to freeze enemies.)

…

"This Freezing Bomb is a bit fierce; not only does it have a probability of controlling enemies, but the damage is also very high."

Cao Xing had more than 50 bombs in his hand.

He could distribute them to his subordinates.

Then throwing them together to detonate—that scene must be very spectacular!

Finally, the last new item appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

[Goblin Mechanical Repair Kit: Special Item]

[Effect: Contains some simple repair tools, allowing damaged machinery to be repaired in the field]

…

Seeing the description, Cao Xing understood the purpose of this thing and directly put it into his backpack.

Although his harvest was already astonishing enough, this was still not all the harvest in this warehouse.

There were still a few scattered chests inside.

Cao Xing walked up to a dusty chest.

[Discovered Luna Chamber of Commerce Storage Box, open it?]

"Yes."

[Opened successfully]

[Obtained: Special Pet Ration (Green) * 55]

[Obtained: Special Pet Ration (Blue) * 22]

[Obtained: Special Pet Ration (Purple) * 13]

[Obtained: Beginner Pet Contract (Green) * 63]

[Obtained: Intermediate Pet Contract (Blue) * 31]

[Obtained: Advanced Pet Contract (Purple) * 8]

…

Cao Xing's pupils instantly constricted.

"Holy cow, this box of stuff is actually all for pets!"

The pet rations here, not counting those pet contracts, already added up to a value exceeding hundreds of thousands of crowns!

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth couldn't help but curl up wildly.

"Right when I consumed a lot of bait fishing in Anuo River Village last time."

"This wave can be considered a replenishment."

"As expected, looting someone else's lair is really exhilarating!"

Cao Xing thought with joy, and then glanced at the stats of the Advanced Pet Contract.

[Advanced Pet Contract (Purple)]

[Item Effect: Can be used on a wild creature to make it your exclusive pet, with a success rate of 35% ~ 45%]

(Note: The stronger the target of the contract, the lower the success rate. You can also use some unconventional means to increase the success rate of the contract.)

…

"Not bad, not bad. The success rate of the Advanced Pet Contract is actually this high."

"There happen to be quite a few wild beasts in these mountains; let's see if I can catch a few back."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing continued searching in the corner of the warehouse.

There weren't many chests left.

He opened them all in one breath and found a large amount of wine inside; there was not a single bit of food.

Cao Xing also put them all away.

[Obtained: Gix Dry White Wine * 32]

[Obtained: Local Pepper Vodka * 46]

[Obtained: San Suredo Pinot Noir Red Wine * 54]

[Obtained: Fiolano Rose Wine * 32]

…

At this point, the things inside this camp's warehouse had been completely cleaned out by Cao Xing.

The harvest could be said to be quite abundant!

It even made him want to encounter a few more such raider camps and go inside to loot them again.

"Finally finished searching, this trip was truly not in vain."

"Now I can go out and repair that mech, and then turn it into my own combat power."

This mech's strength was still very formidable, especially when used to deal with some large-scale battlefields; its lethality was astonishing.

Moreover, this thing could actually switch to flight mode. Although the flight altitude wasn't high, it was almost enough for use.

Although Tong Chuchu's [Intermediate Mechanical Repair] only had a 40% success probability, the materials Cao Xing looted this time were enough for two repairs.

The success probability was still quite high.

Just as Cao Xing was about to go out, he saw Sarah suddenly materialize her figure.

"Lord, there is still a hidden door inside here."

Hearing this, Cao Xing also grew interested.

"Oh? Where is the hidden door?"

Sarah pointed at a stone wall in the depths, and then directly projected the [Dagger of Obstruction].

"Whoosh!"

The dagger hit its mark, producing a crisp 'ding' sound.

Then, a stone door slowly shifted, revealing a crack.

Seeing this, Braum went straight up and pushed open this stone door.

"Rumble…"

Behind the stone door, a dim space appeared.

Cao Xing walked over and took a look.

[Discovered special area: Snow Mountain Raider Prison…]
