Chapter 313: Sweeping All the Way Through, Target: Large Camp! (6600)

Cao Xing replied to Sarah.

"Alright, I'll be right over."

After saying that, he quickly left the basement.

Then he headed straight towards Sarah's location.

…

…

At this moment, Sarah was already waiting at the door of a house.

Seeing Cao Xing approaching, she directly pushed open the door and brought him to the warehouse area in the back.

As soon as he stepped inside, Cao Xing smelled a mixture of various grains.

Then, he saw bags upon bags of grain on the ground, at least dozens of bags!

His heart instantly filled with joy.

"Haha! Well done, Sarah!"

With that, he pulled the slender Dark Elf into his arms and kissed her thin lips.

The usually unsmiling assassin's body trembled, and she immediately lowered her head, feeling extremely shy.

Cao Xing walked straight over and collected all the bags of grain on the ground.

Then, he tallied his harvest.

[Acquired: Dried Corn Flour (40KG) * 23 bags]

[Acquired: Wheat (40KG) * 16 bags]

[Acquired: Shelled Corn Kernels (40KG) * 7 bags]

[Acquired: Potatoes * 327KG]

…

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Although the types of grain here are not abundant, added together, it's still more than 2,100 kilograms!"

"Calculated at 1 kilogram of grain equaling 5 units of food, the grain here amounts to 10,800 units of food."

"It's enough for 10 of my soldiers to break through to Tier 4!"

It didn't sound like much.

But one had to know that the value of ten [Advanced Hearts of Strength] was far from something this amount of food could exchange for.

Moreover, this was only the first camp they had looted.

On that map, there were still more than a dozen medium-sized camps like this one!

And there were four or five large camps like Montra.

Once they looted all of them, he would obtain a massive amount of food resources!

After looting all the grain on the ground, Cao Xing said, "Let's go, Sarah, let's head out first."

"Mhm…"

The Dark Elf behind him lowered her head, obediently following behind him.

Then they arrived at the village entrance.

The others had also finished searching by this time.

Cao Xing glanced around and asked, "How did the search go?"

Braum laughed, "Rest assured, Lord, it's been thoroughly cleaned out!"

Assam also said, "The loot from those dead cultists has all been gathered as well."

They placed everything on the ground.

Including the weapons, Hearts of Strength, and souls dropped by the Hunters after their deaths.

Cao Xing collected them all in one breath.

[Acquired: Coins * 146,321]

[Acquired: Food * 15,812]

[Acquired: Coal * 7,231]

[Acquired: Wood * 6,923]

[Acquired: Hunter Masks (Common, Elite, Black-Robed Priest) * 77]

[Acquired: Intermediate Heart of Strength * 7]

[Acquired: Intermediate Elemental Crystal * 16]

[Acquired…]

…

Looking at the large pile of materials that suddenly appeared in his backpack, intense joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes!

"Very good, the returns from taking down a village exceed imagination."

"And our travel time plus combat and looting took about 40 minutes."

Obviously, these returns were extremely high!

After all, casually giving these resources to any Survivor lord would allow them to instantly become wildly wealthy!

Their territory's strength would surge drastically!

Moreover, Cao Xing had another idea.

That was, after all his subordinates broke through to Tier 4 and their strength surged drastically,

he would lead them to Lake Doron City to pull off another big job!

Although the resources in these camps were plentiful,

compared to them, the resources inside Lake Doron City were truly massive!

If these two jobs could be successfully pulled off, his gains would be beyond imagination.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly opened the map.

Then he instantly locked onto a medium-sized camp about 30 kilometers away.

Another 15 kilometers or so ahead, there was also a large camp.

Along the way, there were also two small camps, which required a detour of about three or four kilometers.

Pondering for a moment, Cao Xing decided to push all the way up along this route.

He wouldn't let those small camps go either.

After all, they were just dealing with them along the way!

Thus, Cao Xing directly said, "Let's go, to our next location!"

The group quickly left the village.

They didn't even need to deal with the corpses of those Hunters on the ground.

After all, they were all in a disguised state right now, so they didn't have to worry about being exposed at all.

Even if the Church of Light investigated, they would only find that these Hunters were killed by demons.

…

…

The crowd traveled rapidly all the way.

Ten minutes later.

They arrived at the location of a small camp on the map route.

This camp was hidden in a concealed forest.

Cao Xing observed it for a bit first.

According to his experience, small camps were usually guarded by only a few dozen Hunters, and their levels weren't high.

Right now, because of the situation at Lake Doron City, most of the Hunters had been transferred away.

So there were only a dozen or so people left in the camp now.

Seeing this, the corners of Cao Xing's mouth curled into a smile.

He casually said, "Go on!"

As soon as those words fell, his subordinates all rushed out without any intention of hiding.

After all, dealing with such a small camp didn't require hiding.

Seeing Cao Xing and the others, that group of Hunters prepared to run away at the very first moment without even thinking!

Just kidding!

These entities emitting black qi looked like they were not to be messed with at a glance.

And the strength of the Hunters in the small camp was generally not strong.

They scurried all the way into the woods.

Behind them, Francesca was eager to try, and she softly said, "Leave these cultists to me?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Go ahead."

Hearing this, a smile also appeared on the witch's face.

Then, a power of the forest surged from her body, directly carrying her up into the air, except under the disguised state, it turned into the power of darkness.

The next moment, she quickly rushed above the fleeing Hunters like a swooping swallow.

Then she raised her palm and pressed down!

"Bang!"

Below, all the Hunters felt as if they were struck by a terrifying air pressure, and their bones snapped all over their bodies on the spot!

There were even a few whose bodies exploded on the spot!

As a Tier 5 Commander, coupled with her terrifying status, Francesca's lethality was already approaching a Tier 6 Commander.

In just two or three minutes, she caught up with all the Hunters and slapped them to death one by one.

At this time, Cao Xing also heard the system prompt.

[Your territory member: Francesca successfully killed ordinary Hunters: 17 people, obtained Honor Points: 35…]

[You cleared a small Hunter camp, Prestige + 50]

…

"Not bad, the total combat time did not exceed 60 seconds, still very fast."

At this moment, all the enemies were dealt with, and only a dozen or so tents remained in front of them.

"Start searching, everyone."

For small camps like this, the terrain was clear at a glance, and there were basically no hidden areas.

So Cao Xing just let his subordinates search.

Hearing this, the crowd quickly entered those tents and looted all the resources inside.

Then they handed everything over to Cao Xing.

[Acquired: Coins * 7,832]

[Acquired: Food * 3,113]

[Acquired: Hunter Masks * 18]

[Acquired: Primary Heart of Strength * 5]

[Acquired…]

…

Compared to medium-sized camps, these returns looked low.

But as mentioned before, this was just something they did along the way.

There were at least over seven thousand crowns and more than three thousand units of food, wasn't it?

It was enough to let 3 of his soldiers advance to Tier 4.

Then, they continued forward.

It took about six minutes to arrive at another small camp.

In fact, the number of camps of the Church of Light in the Gale Snowfield was not dense.

And because Cao Xing had the map, plus having planned the route in advance, he was able to reach the destination so quickly.

Then, the second small camp was similarly dismantled.

The crowd headed south all the way.

Camp after camp of the Church of Light was swept through by them with thunderous momentum.

All resources were put into Cao Xing's pocket.

Looking at the steadily rising food, coins, and Honor Points in his backpack,

Cao Xing felt very excited!

Soon, they reached the area where the second medium-sized camp was located.

The location of this camp was inside a mine cave.

On the stone walls of the mine, Cao Xing discovered quite a few rare mineral resources.

Magic Energy Stone, Mithril, Luminous Crystals, and so on…

He also secretly noted down this location to see if there would be a chance in the future to bring the peons and excavate this mine.

Moving forward along this mine cave, the group similarly discovered a relatively broad cavern inside, containing hundreds of Hunters.

"Oh? The Hunters in this camp are a bit more numerous."

"But it doesn't affect much."

Thus, Cao Xing directly ordered, "Go on, wipe them out!"

As soon as those words fell, the dozen or so powerhouses under his command rushed out like fierce tigers released back into the mountain forest!

Seeing a group of pitch-black figures rushing towards them, the Survivors of this camp instantly constricted their pupils.

"Damn it! Enemies have broken in!"

"How could someone come to raid our camp at a time like this?"

Presumably, those guys from the Church of Light would never have expected that someone would raid them at this critical juncture.

You must know that they had just won a big victory and demonstrated their strength to everyone.

And now, Cao Xing's action was simply like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth!

It was extremely thrilling!

At the same time, the battle inside the mine had already begun.

Under the circumstance that each of them completely crushed the enemy in level and attributes,

those Hunters had no room for resistance at all.

"Swish! Swish swish!"

A large number of Hunters fell down like harvested wheat.

Taking less than three minutes, this battle had already ended.

[Your territory members killed a total of 112 Hunters this time, obtained Honor Points: 367]

[Ding! You destroyed a medium-sized Hunter camp, Prestige + 200]

…

Cao Xing praised, "Not bad, we've brought in another three hundred plus Honor Points."

"Plus the masks on the ground, this time we can probably get 500 Honor Points!"

These Honor Points could already be exchanged for more than a dozen Tier 3 Elite Warhorses, as well as a full set of purple equipment!

It could be said that the harvest was quite good.

Without needing Cao Xing's command, they began to clean up the battlefield after the battle ended.

As for Sarah, she shuttled back and forth through the mine like a nimble cheetah,

searching for the location of the warehouse in the camp.

Soon, Sarah's cold voice came over.

"Lord, I've found it."

Hearing the voice, Cao Xing quickly walked over.

Arriving by Sarah's side and taking a look, sure enough, a large amount of grain was piled up casually in the corner.

However, a portion of the grain seemed to have already molded and become damp.

But he accepted all comers and collected them all.

[Acquired: Yellowed Rice (40KG) * 32 bags]

[Acquired: Damp Wheat (40KG) * 27 bags]

[Acquired…]

…

The food in this camp was also more than that in the village.

It was a full three thousand plus kilograms.

Which was 15,000 units of food, enough for 15 soldiers to break through to Tier 4!

Then, Cao Xing collected all the other loot on the ground as well.

He obtained two [Advanced Hearts of Strength] and some masks.

Next, he took out the [Gale Snowfield Map] and began to plan the next target.

The entire Gale Snowfield had a huge area, and it was impossible to wipe out all the camps in one night.

However, because the time was well-planned, besides at night, they could operate during the day just the same.

Cao Xing quickly selected the next target, which was a large camp.

According to expectations, the time for travel plus combat would take about an hour and a half.

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered, "Let's go, continue forward."

He wanted to expand his battle achievements as much as possible at the fastest speed!

Otherwise, once the Church of Light reacted, they would all realize that their camp locations had been exposed.

Then in the remaining camps, those members of the Church of Light would evacuate at the very first moment, and the supplies in the camps would also be taken away.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help speeding up his pace.

Along the way, they continuously pushed through four or five camps, killed all the Hunters inside, and looted all the supplies!

System prompt messages kept popping up.

[Your territory members killed 16 Hunters in this battle, and you received a reward of 47 honor points.]

[Ding! You destroyed a small camp, reputation +50]

…

[Your territory members killed 17 Hunters in this battle, and you received a reward of 53 honor points.]

[Ding! You destroyed a small camp, reputation +50]

…

[Obtained: Coins * 10892]

[Obtained: Food * 6292]

[Obtained: Hunter Mask * 18]

[Obtained…]

…

Cao Xing watched as his reputation and honor points surged at a terrifying speed!

Honor points had broken through 1300 so far.

Furthermore, his reputation had already broken through 5000!

Besides that, the thing that increased even faster was the food in his backpack.

It directly reached tens of thousands of kilograms, which was 50,000 units—enough for 50 soldiers to advance!

"Haha! Plundering like this feels amazing!"

"At this rate, I feel like my honor points can definitely break 20,000 tonight!"

"Plus those masks, there will be at least 30,000 honor points."

"In that case, I can exchange for two of those orange cannons, and the remaining honor points can be used to exchange for catapults."

"By then, my territory will suddenly gain hundreds of Tier 4 warriors, coupled with these powerful siege equipment, and my strength will skyrocket by a huge margin!"

"Even when facing a Tier 5 knight order of two to three thousand people, I won't feel timid at all!"

You must know that the Tier 4 warriors under Cao Xing were not ordinary Tier 4.

They were existences that could be used as Tier 5 and were even more troublesome to deal with.

Even on a battlefield of that level, the roles played by his more than two hundred Tier 4 warriors were no less than the king's Goshawk Knights.

By then, his territory would be truly as secure as an iron bucket.

Even if the Church of Light investigated and discovered him, Cao Xing would still have the power to protect himself!

Thinking of this, he became even more excited.

Thus, they began to plunder even more diligently.

After all the strongholds along the way were leveled,

the crowd arrived beside a valley.

Large mountains surrounded the place,

and there was only one road leading into the valley, which was quite narrow.

That's right, this was the valley Cao Xing used to trap and kill many of Fang Long's subordinates during the newbie protection period.

A large number of Hunters had once gathered inside.

It was also one of the five remaining large camps in Gale Snowfield.

It was already past 3:00 AM now.

Cao Xing didn't lead people into the valley immediately, but instead waited silently.

A moment later,

under the pitch-black night, a figure quickly and agilely jumped down from the valley.

It was Sarah.

She reported, "All the Hunters on the mountaintop have been dealt with by me."

Cao Xing praised after hearing this, "Very good."

"Now, all of you follow me in."

As his words fell, the crowd began to follow this narrow passage and entered the valley.

After walking dozens of steps further, the view suddenly opened up.

This was an area with quite an open terrain. The surrounding peaks towered into the clouds, embracing this valley within.

Under the night, the surrounding scenery seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious black gauze.

The trees in the valley turned into black shadows in the night, their branches and leaves swaying gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds.

Not long after moving forward, Cao Xing suddenly noticed that some strange plants were growing on the ground.

It was a kind of grass, but its color was quite dull and lusterless. If one didn't pay attention, it looked no different from ordinary weeds.

At this time, Francesca also noticed Cao Xing's gaze, and then said, "This is Aurora Grass. It seems our luck isn't bad."

Cao Xing was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and then asked, "How come it's a bit different from the Aurora Grass I collected before?"

"Doesn't ordinary Aurora Grass glow?"

The witch curved the corner of her lips into an arc.

"Of course it's because today is not the 4th, 14th, or 24th of the month, and without Auroras appearing, these Aurora Grass naturally don't have any effects."

"Only Aurora Grass that has absorbed the power of the Aurora has the value of being used as alchemy medicine."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned, "Meaning, I can't take them away now?"

Francesca nodded, "Under normal circumstances, you can't."

"However, isn't your lovely lord's wife an Aurora Knight?"

"Ask her to cast a few Aurora spells, and these Aurora Grass will also absorb the power of the Aurora."

Cao Xing nodded in sudden realization, and then looked at Liu Muxue beside him.

Understanding the meaning, she directly raised the [Broken Magdale] and released the skill [Aurora Blessing].

In an instant, a large amount of colorful Aurora power overflowed from the broken sword body.

Various colors intertwined together, exceptionally beautiful.

And those dim Aurora Grass on the ground seemed to come alive instantly at this moment, beginning to absorb the power of the Aurora.

Then they also began to emit a beautiful Aurora from their bodies.

Liu Muxue looked at Francesca and asked softly, "Is this okay?"

The witch gently nodded her head, "Yes, just harvest them within 3 minutes."

Hearing this, Cao Xing quickly stepped forward to take a look.

[Aurora Grass (Gold): Magical Plant]

[Quality: Precious]

[Effect: A magical plant containing the power of the Aurora. After an Aurora Knight consumes it, it can increase 10 points of Spirit and Constitution, effective up to 2 times]

(A sacred magical plant, and also the main material for certain potions.)

…

"It really turned into Aurora Grass!"

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes.

After all, there was a large group of undead next to his territory, which was a huge hidden danger.

And Aurora Grass could greatly enhance his combat power against the undead.

Naturally, the more of this stuff, the better.

Cao Xing stepped forward and collected all these Aurora Grass.

[Obtained: Aurora Grass (Gold) * 74]

Cao Xing patted his backpack with satisfaction.

"Very good, these Aurora Grass can allow me to make 74 bottles of holy water. With just a little more, everyone can be equipped with a bottle, and even the impact of the undead army won't need to be worried about."

"As expected of a large camp, there are harvests right after entering!"

They continued moving forward.

This valley was really huge.

Furthermore, it was surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one canyon to enter from.

Easy to defend and hard to attack, it was a good place.

At the same time, Sarah's figure appeared once again.

"Ahead, a village has been discovered."

"A village?"

A village inside this canyon was a bizarre thing no matter how one thought about it.

Sarah nodded gently, "Yes, but that village is empty."

"I went in to scout, and inside there is nothing except old houses."

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

"Nothing at all?"

"Could all the Hunters here have been transferred to Lake Doron City? Has this camp been abandoned?"

But he quickly shook his head.

"Probably not. If this place had been abandoned, they wouldn't have arranged people to guard the entrance."

"In other words, this village is just used by them as a cover."

Cao Xing said, "Search separately. There should be other hidden areas here."

The crowd scattered one after another, searching around in this wide canyon.

A dozen minutes later, Victoria's slightly majestic voice sounded.

"I… I found a passage here, and it seems someone has come out from here."

Hearing this, Cao Xing immediately said, "Where are you? I'll come right over."

Victoria told Cao Xing her location.

Soon, he walked over quickly.

Cao Xing saw.

Under the night, Victoria, dressed in black, was squatting under a tree.

Even in the camouflage state, it was still hard to hide her smoking-hot figure.

Her round and plump buttocks squeezed a deeply sunken line out of the middle of her pants.

Seeing Cao Xing coming over, Victoria stood up and said, "Right over there, I just saw people coming and going."

Following the direction she pointed, Cao Xing indeed saw a narrow cave entrance at the foot of the mountain ahead.

However, this cave entrance was indeed very small, barely able to accommodate one person passing through.

Thus, Cao Xing said, "Everyone come over to my side."

Soon, everyone came to his side.

Cao Xing continued to order, "In a moment, Sarah will go in to scout the way first. After confirming that there is no danger inside, we will go in together."

"Jonard and Josent, you two stay outside to guard the cave entrance."

"If you see anyone coming out, kill them without mercy!"

The two turned stern and respectfully said, "Obey, Lord!"

As the words fell, Sarah had already silently entered that cave.

After waiting for a moment, no sound came from inside.

However, a system prompt rang in Cao Xing's ear.

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed a Hunter Lv32, Tier 4 ordinary creature, obtained EXP: 1280]

[Combat personnel obtained EXP: 640, you obtained honor points: 4]

[Your…]

…

After two kill messages, Sarah's gentle voice sounded in his ear.

"The Hunters at the cave entrance have been dealt with. You can come in now."

Hearing this, Cao Xing directly said, "Let's go in."

As the words fell,

Braum had already raised his shield and rushed in first.

Then came Assam, followed by Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.

After everyone entered, they found themselves in this narrow passage.

And Sarah was already waiting for them ahead.

Moving forward along this narrow passage for about one hundred meters,

the vision suddenly broadened.

Cao Xing saw a wide and bright underground space.

This looked like a spacious hall, built with many stone pillars inside to support the mountain.

And in the central area of the hall, Cao Xing saw a statue.

That statue was a man with his arms crossed together, bare-chested on the upper body, and stepping on a cluster of burning flames on the lower body.

Exuding a faint glow, it looked full of a sense of holiness.

And their position at this moment was roughly in the upper area of the hall, equivalent to overlooking from above.

They could clearly see the status below.

Cao Xing didn't act immediately, but continued to observe that group of Hunters below.

A group of captured villagers were kneeling and prostrating in the center of the hall!
