Chapter 383: Goblin Defense Line and Justice from the Sky! (7200)

Liu Muxue was currently riding the Frost Moose, flying mid-air and advancing at extreme speed, searching everywhere for the location of the Zhuo Mas Claw.

Just then, a system notification appeared.

[Your territory member: Andrew has discovered the location of the 'Zhuo Mas Claw', do you wish to make it public?]

A gentle smile appeared on Liu Muxue's face as she tapped 'No'.

Then, she pressed the communication device on her ear and quickly ordered: "Everyone, go to Andrew's location and rendezvous."

Over a hundred people gathered quickly in just over three minutes!

Looking at the soaring Ice Dragon and the dense swarm of Ice Nest Monsters on the plain ahead, the crowd's eyes burned with fighting spirit!

Liu Muxue, riding on the back of the Frost Moose, gave a light shout!

"Everyone, charge with me!"

The Frost Moose leaped, instantly rushing forward over a hundred meters.

Liu Muxue held her broken sword high, the brilliant colorful Aurora shining, as if guiding the direction for everyone to advance!

"Rumble!"

The crowd followed behind her, charging towards the massive swarm of Ice Nest Monsters below.

The small Ice Dragon also spotted the charging crowd.

"Roar —"

A loud dragon roar echoed.

The huge Ice Dragon dove towards Liu Muxue with destructive force!

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was less than thirty meters.

At this distance, one could even feel the intense cold emanating from the 'Zhuo Mas Claw'.

It felt like an ice mountain was crashing down on her!

At this moment, beneath her beautiful features, Liu Muxue's expression remained calm.

Her legs, covered in white battle armor, kicked off, landing directly on the back of the Frost Moose.

And while in mid-air.

A dazzling holy light erupted violently from Liu Muxue's body.

This holy light even covered an area of over a hundred meters around her!

Her body began to rise rapidly, and her full-body battle armor began to change, as if reshaped by divine power, radiating a powerful aura!

The next moment, a Battle Angel with pure white wings on her back, wearing a gem-encrusted battle helmet and clad in pure white battle armor, appeared before everyone.

Pure white feathers scattered in the air, and holy singing rang in their ears.

This scene left everyone stunned.

Assam below exclaimed: "It's hard to imagine that our Lady of the Territory actually possesses the power of an angel."

Andrew was even more devout, "I can feel it… such a holy aura."

At this time, after transforming into a two-winged Battle Angel, Liu Muxue did not hesitate at all.

She directly raised the holy greatsword in her hand and shouted softly: "All dark things shall be annihilated by the holy!"

Hum!

The dazzling holy light erupted once again!

It was so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes.

It was the large-area skill in Angel form — Divine Punishment!

Moreover, this holy light did not just affect vision; it also carried unparalleled destructive power!

The body of the small Ice Dragon, constructed from millennial ice, made a 'hissing' sound the moment it came into contact with the holy light, and white smoke rose from it.

The next moment, like a kite with a broken string, it fell directly from the sky!

Liu Muxue's Angel form was currently only at the primary level and did not possess flight capabilities, so she also fell.

However, just because she couldn't fly didn't mean the Frost Moose couldn't.

After all, Cao Xing had cast the 'Wind Wings' spell on this moose.

Just as Liu Muxue was about to fall, the Frost Moose leaped in the air, coming directly beneath Liu Muxue to catch her steadily.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, a cold and confident voice came from the air.

"Everyone, I will deal with this Zhuo Mas Claw; you handle the Ice Nest Monsters below."

Hearing this, Assam below gripped the lady of the lake sword with both hands, placing it in front of his eyes, his gaze full of reverence.

"As you command, brave and battle-hardened Lady of the Territory!"

"Warriors, follow me and charge!"

Assam shouted, and the Frost Wolf beneath his feet carried him as he rushed out.

The hundred-plus warriors behind him charged like a tide, directly engaging in a head-on battle with the massive swarm of incoming Ice Nest Monsters.

…

…

In the Tarus Mountains.

Cao Xing's team advanced all the way.

Just then, a system notification appeared before him.

[Your territory member: Liu Muxue has used [Angel Descent], attributes increased by 50%, affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this state has become permanent…]

…

A smile curled at the corners of Cao Xing's mouth.

"It seems the battle has already begun on Muxue's side."

"We need to speed up on our side as well."

Herlie's voice rang out at the right moment.

"Lord, we are only a few hundred meters away; after passing through this mountain forest, we will reach a canyon area."

"That is where the Goblin tribe is located."

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

The group continued to push forward.

Due to the complex terrain in the mountain forest, along with many obstacles and traps along the way.

The speed of advancement was naturally greatly reduced.

It took about ten minutes for them to advance about four or five hundred meters.

However, the strange thing was that, except for the very beginning.

They had not been harassed by those Goblins afterwards.

Of course, Cao Xing did not relax.

Because he knew that the news of him leading people to attack the Goblin tribe had already reached the Goblin King.

These Goblins should be concentrating their forces ahead, waiting for him.

Meanwhile, a faint light appeared ahead.

They were about to pass through this mountain forest.

When the group walked out of the mountain forest, the view suddenly opened up.

Just as Herlie said, this was a valley.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, only this direction allowed entry.

Meanwhile, there was a large open space in front.

The group of Goblins seemed to have dug a huge pool here, cutting off the path for others to advance.

Moreover, the liquid in this pool was not ordinary water, but a thick green liquid, emitting strong poisonous mist above.

If one were to fall in, they would likely suffer extremely severe poison damage instantly.

Originally, there was a wooden bridge to cross this poison pool, but the bridge had been actively destroyed by this group of Goblins.

Cao Xing glanced at it, and instantly understood the situation.

"Interesting, if you want to attack their tribe, you must first cross this poison pool."

However, on the bank of the poison pool, there were a large number of iron caltrops.

These iron caltrops were arranged closely, like a solid line of defense.

Even if you crossed the poison pool, you would likely be stopped by these caltrops.

Attacking would indeed be quite difficult!

Just as Cao Xing was thinking of a way to attack.

An arrow whistled through the air, interrupting his train of thought.

"Swish!"

In an instant, Sarah's figure flashed, jumping directly in front of Cao Xing.

The dagger in her hand slashed down violently.

"Clang!"

The arrow was cut in half by her.

Cao Xing looked up in the direction the arrow came from.

At the end of his line of sight, a pile of giant rocks appeared.

And from these rocks, a large number of thin creatures with blue skin and pointed ears quickly emerged.

It was the Frost Goblin!

These Goblins emerged one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain, and their numbers were increasing.

Cao Xing clearly felt what it meant to have heads everywhere as far as the eye could see.

And the moment they appeared, these Goblins quickly drew their bows and arrows and launched an attack on Cao Xing and his team.

"Shoot! Turn these humans into hedgehogs for me!"

"Whoosh!"

A dense rain of arrows descended.

It was a rain of arrows in the true sense of the word.

At least a thousand arrows blocked the sky above!

However, despite facing such a fierce attack, the hundred-plus warriors present did not retreat a single step.

Cao Xing raised his staff, and instantly a dozen ice walls appeared!

However, there were too many arrows.

The ice walls could block the arrows coming from the front, but they couldn't block the attacks from above!

Seeing that a large number of arrows were about to land on everyone's heads.

The next moment, an invisible ripple of Qi appeared.

"Hum!"

A pale yellow Qi shield enveloped everyone.

Victoria was now a Level 46 Commander-grade creature with 474,000 HP, and the durability of the Qi shield was 120% of her HP.

In other words, this Qi shield had nearly 570,000 durability!

But even so, it couldn't withstand the arrow rain attack of so many Goblins.

"Hum! Hum hum!"

A large number of arrows landed on the Qi shield, causing sheets of damage numbers to appear.

And among them were some explosive arrows, freezing arrows, and so on.

"Boom! Rumble!"

The sound of explosions was endless.

The durability poured away like water.

After surviving the first round of arrow rain, the Qi shield had less than 100,000 durability left.

Seeing this, Cao Xing frowned.

He had intended to have Sarah, who had the [Moon Dance] skill, jump over the poison pool directly and charge into the Goblin army to go on a rampage.

But when he saw the Goblins below pushing out seven or eight catapults, a large number of capture nets, and a strange war chariot.

He abandoned this idea directly.

Clearly, the Goblins inside had learned their lesson after Herlie broke into the tribe yesterday and escaped.

They had prepared a large number of items to deal with these assassins.

Even if Sarah could withstand the attacks of these guys and go on a rampage.

But one had to know, there was also a more terrifying Soul-Eater Insect inside!

That was a monster of at least Tier 7.

At that time, even Sarah wouldn't be able to hold on.

Therefore, Cao Xing quickly ordered: "Retreat first."

"Tyren, help us cover the retreat."

Hearing the order, the old mage raised his staff and directly summoned a dozen [Rock Barriers].

This skill had similar effects to his [Chain Ice Wall].

Both were for quickly raising an elemental wall to block attacks.

However, Cao Xing's could self-destruct, and his could be attached to city walls; it could be said that each had its own merits.

Seeing the figures of Cao Xing and his team retreating, those Goblins immediately shouted anxiously.

"These humans want to run! Stop them!"

"Shoot! Shoot quickly, stop them."

"Thud! Thud thud!"

Rain-like arrows landed on the earthen walls, and the durability poured away crazily!

Meanwhile, those few catapults were now loaded with giant rocks.

The huge catapult arms were raised high, as if launching a storm of destruction.

"Whoosh — Whoosh —"

Several thousand-jin giant rocks, carrying the force of destruction, smashed towards them!

However, Cao Xing and his team had already successfully retreated into the mountain forest.

"Boom! Rumble!"

The sky full of dust rose instantly.

The huge stones smashed fiercely into the place where they had originally stood, triggering a violent explosion!

The terrifying impact caused the ground to tremble violently, gravel splashed everywhere like raindrops, and some smaller trees were even snapped in half by this impact!

And when those Goblins saw the figures of Cao Xing and his team disappear, they danced with excitement.

"Haha! Look, those humans were beaten away!"

"Goblins are indeed the strongest; these weak humans are no match for us at all!"

"Our strength can even deal with those kingdom armies, haha!"

"…"

In a hidden stone room halfway up the mountain, the Goblin Liu Yang, who was observing the battle, had a ferocious smile on his face after seeing this.

"Sure enough, Cao Xing, you are not truly invincible!"

"You are also afraid of these catapults, afraid of being focused by my Goblin archers."

In his heart, a sense of confidence gradually emerged!

"Cao Xing, I have always regarded you as my greatest enemy, but I didn't expect your strength to be so weak!"

"After this, I can safely lead the Goblin army to attack your territory."

"By then, the supplies in your territory, and so many people, will all become my rations!"

"Those top-quality women around you will also become my playthings!"

His gaze had already seen Victoria and Isabelle in the crowd.

Greed and lust appeared in his eyes.

…

…

On Cao Xing's side, after retreating back into the mountain forest, his expression did not change at all.

Because they knew that although these Goblins were numerous, given everyone's strength, it was nothing.

The only troublesome thing was to withstand their rain of arrows and catapults to cross that poison pool.

At this time, Ilena said softly: "Lord, let me go."

"After I transform into the White Frost form, I will be immune to poison attacks; the poison pool has no effect on me."

Cao Xing shook his head.

He naturally knew that Ilena's White Frost form had a [Poison Immunity] skill, which could immunize against poison attacks below Legendary grade, which was very overpowered.

However, he was not worried about that Poison Pool.

In fact, with his current strength, there are many ways to launch a direct assault.

For example, he could transform into a demon, launch an attack from the air, and then charge into the Goblin army to slaughter them.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the warriors could swim directly across the Poison Pool.

He could also have Sarah and Ilena attack together to disrupt the enemy's formation before charging through in one go.

In short… there are many methods.

But regardless of which one, he had to find a way to deal with that Soul-Eater Insect.

Currently, among his subordinates, only Sarah possessed the ability to deal with a Tier 7 creature.

Cao Xing said, "Rest assured, the Poison Pool is not a problem for me."

"Although there are many Goblins, as long as we disrupt their formation and avoid their concentrated fire, they pose no threat."

"The only thing that can threaten me is that Soul-Eater Insect inside the tribe."

Sarah spoke up at this moment, "My Lord, would you like me to infiltrate the tribe and directly pin down that Soul-Eater Insect, and then you all launch a frontal assault? How about that?"

Cao Xing glanced at her; this was certainly a viable method.

Of course, that would be a bit risky.

Because according to Herlie, this Soul-Eater Insect is also a creature extremely adept at mental attacks.

Assassins have no advantage against it.

Besides, who knows what kind of traps that Goblin King might have set up inside the cave.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "There is no need to take such a risk; I have already thought of a method."

"Next, we will deliver some justice from above!"

Upon hearing this, confusion appeared in everyone's eyes.

Cao Xing took out a few vines from his backpack and explained his plan directly.

"In a moment, I will use my flight ability to take you all into the sky."

"When we arrive above that Goblin army, I will take you all and descend at high speed."

"Then, we will charge straight into this group of Goblins and begin a massacre!"

"At that time, Sarah will jump across the Poison Pool herself and come to support us."

"Once we have scattered the Goblins' formation, the swordsmen can charge over."

Everyone was stunned, seemingly not expecting Cao Xing's plan to be so simple and brutal.

In fact, it didn't need to be that complicated.

Relying on their strength, one person might not be able to move freely among so many Goblins.

But as long as a few more go, it would basically be turning on Musou mode.

Cao Xing did as he said; he did not enter his demon transformation state, but instead, two Wind Wings appeared directly on his back.

"Whoosh~!"

The transparent wings unfolded.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The Wind Wings carried Cao Xing into the air.

He continued, "Victoria, Ilena, Xiao, Herlie, come up."

Hearing this, the four of them stepped forward and grabbed Cao Xing's vines.

The combined weight of these four was nearly 300 kilograms.

This was also the maximum weight capacity of the Wind Wings that Cao Xing had tested; any higher and he wouldn't be able to fly.

"Hold on tight."

As he spoke, the Wind Wings on his back began to flap.

Cao Xing's current arm strength was extremely powerful, and lifting these four was easy.

He first carried them a distance away before starting to fly toward the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they had flown to an altitude of 2,000 meters.

From this height, he could take in the surrounding towering mountains and endless snowfields.

From afar, he could also see a large number of Goblins stationed below that valley.

They were all gripping their weapons tightly, seemingly waiting for Cao Xing's next attack.

Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear, "Braum, lead the warriors out and attract the attention of that Goblin group."

Upon hearing the order, Braum led the order without hesitation.

He quickly assembled all the Star Country swordsmen and charged out of the forest with shields raised.

When that group of Goblins saw Braum come out, they immediately shouted with excitement!

"Those humans are here again, attack them!"

"Don't let them run away this time!"

Soon, the sound of arrows piercing the air like raindrops came from the front.

Braum, holding his shield, charged at the very front.

In an instant, he bore the brunt of a massive attack.

The other Star Country swordsmen also kept waving their longswords, cutting down the incoming arrows.

However, the attack power of these Goblins was too low.

And Braum's armor was now approaching 3,000!

Plus the 20% armor increase from Defensive Stance and the 20% damage reduction from the Frost Magic Shield.

In the end, only double-digit damage numbers popped up.

[-25] [-34] [-29] [-31] …

Seeing this, the group of Goblins was immediately shocked!

"This big guy has such high defense, our arrows don't seem to work!"

"Activate the catapults; I don't believe he can withstand the damage from the catapults!"

The next moment, all the catapults began loading giant stones.

Cao Xing saw that the attention of that group of Goblins had been completely drawn.

He continued to take everyone higher into the sky.

3,000 meters… 4,000 meters…

At this altitude, the temperature had reached an extremely low level.

The intense cold wind was like cold blades, ruthlessly cutting through everything around them.

Especially the skin that wasn't covered by clothes and was exposed to the air; it was already numb.

Even the Wind Wings on his back were almost about to freeze.

He glanced at the temperature above.

[Current Temperature: -82℃]

"Good grief… it's already broken past negative eighty degrees."

Below, the four people gripping the vines tightly were also shivering all over from the cold.

Cao Xing asked, "How are you all feeling? Can you hold on?"

Herlie replied, shivering, "No… no problem, My Lord…"

The Qi Queen Victoria and the swordsman Xiao were also gritting their teeth and holding on.

Only Ilena was relatively relaxed.

As a member of the Snake-people race, she was naturally extremely cold-resistant; furthermore, she was now a Tier 5 leader-level powerhouse!

Cao Xing said, "Good, all of you hold on a little longer."

"This altitude is enough; we can go directly over."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Cao Xing was like a helicopter, carrying four figures as he continued to fly forward.

Meanwhile.

The Goblins below were attacking excitedly.

"Haha! Shoot them to death!"

"Catapults, fire! Smash these humans into pulp!"

"Boom! Rumble!"

Those giant stones, carrying a destructive force, slammed toward them!

Braum, seeing the giant stones overhead, dodged what he could.

He directly raised his shield to tank what he couldn't dodge.

After transforming into his Ice Giant form, he was actually able to withstand the power of those giant stones with just his physical strength!

This scene was truly too shocking.

Imagine it.

A big guy over two meters tall, holding up a heavy shield, and tanking thousand-jin boulders falling from the sky.

What a heart-shaking scene this was.

It was no less than resisting a natural disaster with physical strength alone!

That group of Goblins was dumbfounded!

"Great Goblin God, am I not awake or did I see wrong? What kind of monster is this big guy! He can actually withstand the attack of the catapults!"

"Too terrifying, is this really something a human can do?"

Their attention had been completely drawn by Braum.

They completely failed to notice the few black dots in the high sky.

And at this altitude, Cao Xing could take in the surrounding scenery at a glance.

He saw that in front of that pile of giant stones, there were numerous watchtowers, and each watchtower had a large number of Goblin archers.

And beside them were six catapults.

Beside each catapult, there was a Goblin squad responsible for guarding and loading the giant stones.

Cao Xing said, "That's about enough."

"So, listen to my command, prepare to strike with full force."

The four below nodded, "Understood!"

The moment he finished speaking, Cao Xing, like a kite with a broken string, descended rapidly with the others!

The speed of the descent was far higher than the speed of the ascent.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The sound of strong wind kept rushing past.

When they were still 1,000 meters from the ground.

Cao Xing could already see the ferocious expressions of those Goblins, as well as their approximate numbers.

A quick glance showed that the number of Goblins here had already exceeded 4,000!

Goblins kept crawling out of the cave.

Besides the large number of Goblin archers, behind that pile of giant stones lay an ambush of many Goblin warriors, Goblin spearmen, Goblin warlocks, and so on.

"This group of Goblins is truly quite insidious, hiding here specifically waiting for my assassin to pass, then using various skills to control her, preparing to take her out in one wave, right?"

"However, where did that Goblin King go?"

Cao Xing didn't think much about it, because they had already arrived at an altitude of 500 meters from the ground!

And at this moment, Liu Yang, who was observing the battle situation halfway up the mountain, also saw those few small black dots falling at high speed.

His gaze instantly locked onto Cao Xing!

And Cao Xing also felt the gaze coming from halfway up the mountain; he looked over, but only saw a pile of rocks.

However, Cao Xing didn't think much about it; his mind was still on the battlefield below.

And at this time, the Goblin Liu Yang felt a storm of shock in his heart!

This was its first time locking eyes with Cao Xing!

All along, Liu Yang had regarded Cao Xing as a hypothetical enemy.

It felt that even if Cao Xing was stronger than itself, it shouldn't be too much stronger.

However now, just a single look from the other party made the Goblin Liu Yang feel an incomparably powerful force, as well as a sense of powerlessness!

At this moment, Liu Yang only felt a sense of bewilderment in its heart.

"How is this possible! I am already level 35, my strength is sufficient to face a Tier 4 leader-level creature head-on!"

"Why, when facing you, does it feel even more terrifying than facing those Tier 5 monsters?"

"Could it be that your level has already reached Tier 5, or even Tier 6?"

At this moment, the Goblin Liu Yang's eyes were filled with disbelief!

It had thought that its own strength already stood in the top ranks among the Survivors?

It turned out that it didn't expect the gap between the two sides to be so huge!

Liu Yang quickly reacted and hurriedly ordered, "Enemy attack! The enemy is in the sky!"

"All Goblin archers, launch an attack toward the sky!"

Hearing the order, the Goblins below were still in a state of bewilderment.

But when they looked up, they saw those few figures already appearing at an altitude of less than 200 meters above their heads.

At this altitude, powerhouses of their level could jump down and remain completely unscathed.

Cao Xing put away the vines and said, "Go, slaughter them all!"

The moment the order was received!

A force of dark night surged from Herlie's body, and she disappeared from the spot instantly.

Qi flowed around Queen Victoria's body, and she plummeted toward the ground like a destructive meteor!

A massive amount of sword energy instantly appeared behind Xiao, and with cold light flickering in his eyes, he slashed down fiercely!

However, the most terrifying display of power was from the Snake Girl Ilena.

This Snake-people priestess used the skill she had just acquired while in mid-air.

The next moment, an aura carrying a vast pressure radiated from her body.

Her body began to change rapidly, and her entire body was covered with a layer of white snake scales.

And it began to grow rapidly.

From her original normal height, she grew directly to ten meters, twenty meters, and all the way up to nearly a hundred meters!

In the blink of an eye, a white giant snake, reaching over a hundred meters in length and nearly two meters in thickness, appeared instantly!

Like a silver dragon, it fell from the sky and slammed fiercely into the group of Goblins.

"Rumble!!"

Debris filled the sky.

Ilena's transformed form was stunning!

And the moment she landed, her huge tail lashed out fiercely.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Her hundred-meter-long body carried boundless, immense strength.

The surrounding boulders weighing thousands of jin were swept away as if they were made of foam.

"Boom! Rumble!"

A violent explosion sounded.

This terrifying scene immediately left all the Goblins in a state of shock…
