Digest the reward, something is wrong with the Blood Spider Queen.

Yao Yiming said: "Commander Cao Xing has just issued us new orders. We need to consolidate everyone here and list out the formations based on your classes and areas of expertise."

"Then, we will conduct simple coordination training."

Hearing this, the hundreds of thousands of Survivor army looked at each other in dismay.

Previously, most Survivor lords operated in small team modes, and they were accustomed to their teammates' combat skills and combinations.

Large-scale legion combat coordination like this had never happened before.

They felt a hidden worry: would something go wrong?

Yao Yiming knew their concerns and comforted them: "Everyone, do not worry. It is just a simple division based on melee, ranged, and support classes; it won't be too complicated."

"We are doing this so that when we encounter large-scale battles, everyone can exert their own strength and not end up like loose sand."

Hearing this, the other Survivors breathed a sigh of relief.

A few seconds later, Yao Yiming continued: "Now, all tank-type classes, gather in the area at coordinates ****."

While those Survivors and combatants were still looking for the coordinates mentioned by Yao Yiming, Tian Jing suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a ball of ghostly green fire landed on an open space not far away.

With the target location marked, the crowd began to move.

A large number of Aurora Knights, Polar Shield Guards, Shield Maiden classes, and others gathered together.

When these tank classes were adjusted, Yao Yiming continued: "All melee fighters, gather at coordinates ****."

"All ranged units, go to ****."

"All support classes, go to —"

As Tian Jing continuously spat out flames, pointing out the directions for them.

It took the Survivors about ten minutes to gather together.

These 600,000 people were divided into four waves.

Support classes were the fewest, barely over 40,000 people.

Next were tanks, about 60,000 people.

Ranged and melee each occupied half, respectively about 250,000.

Yao Yiming continued: "Now, all tank classes stand at the very front."

"200,000 melee fighters follow behind, and all support and ranged units walk in the middle of the formation."

"Then, split off 50,000 melee fighters to follow at the very back of the formation."

As he finished speaking, the hundreds of thousands of Survivor army began to move again.

Because it was their first time coordinating, these hundreds of thousands of people spent a full twenty minutes to organize the team. During this period, various accidents occurred, such as uncoordinated movements and friction between personnel.

Yao Yiming, Ji Xinyue, and others were patiently directing on the side, with Tian Jing assisting nearby.

Through their joint efforts, this 600,000-strong Survivor army finally had the prototype of a formation.

The three of them looked at the scene before them with satisfaction; compared to the scattered formation before, it now had the air of a regular army.

But they did not rush to act.

Yao Yiming said: "I know everyone is very tired from walking during the day, but tonight, everyone will have to work hard a little longer."

"Next, we will spend two hours to simply hone the legion's coordination."

The temperature at night was extremely low, and the cold wind was biting.

Plus, the heating range of Yao Yiming's territory furnace could not cover a very large area.

So, staying outside was an extreme test of willpower.

Now that they heard they had to spend two hours training in the cold wind, it made this group of Survivors feel a bit uncomfortable.

Yao Yiming saw their thoughts and said with a serious tone: "I think everyone should know what we are going to do next."

"Commander Cao Xing will lead us to fight the Blood Legion, but that group of monsters is very powerful and very crazy."

"Facing us, the opponent's blades will not have any hesitation."

"To ensure more people survive, everyone must go all out to improve their combat ability and team coordination ability."

"The hard training now is to have a bit more hope of survival on the battlefield."

"If you feel it is unnecessary, you can quit now."

His tone carried an indisputable quality.

The hundreds of thousands of Survivor army gradually fell silent.

They understood that what Yao Yiming said was correct.

Facing an enemy like the Blood Legion, any slack could cost them their lives.

After waiting for two minutes, no one quit.

Yao Yiming continued: "Very good, it seems everyone is ready."

"Then let's start training now!"

Subsequently, he began to conduct some simple command training.

These Survivors were also quite cooperative; despite the biting cold wind, they gritted their teeth and persisted.

Soon, they were able to perform simple coordinated combat commands.

For example, all healing classes concentrating their healing output on the shield guards in the team, and various ranged units focusing fire simultaneously when facing some powerful enemies, etc.

The overall coordination of the team had improved significantly compared to two hours ago.

Two hours later, Yao Yiming stood on high ground, scanned the entire army, and announced loudly.

"Now, the army sets off!"

"Whoosh!"

The seven hundred thousand-strong army moved like a giant dragon toward the Brisbane Wilds.

Their steps were uniform, their momentum like a rainbow, as if even the cold wind was dispelled by this fighting spirit.

Most of the Survivors on the field were participating in this kind of action for the first time. Aside from nervousness and unease, they felt more excitement and passion!

They couldn't wait to have a big fight!

During the army's march, thousands more Survivor lords brought their troops one after another.

These newly joined soldiers quickly integrated into the army, injecting more power into this team.

In the night, the figures of the 800,000-strong army disappeared at the end of the snowfield, leaving only the sound of firm footsteps echoing in the cold wind.

Meanwhile, all the soldiers in Cao Xing's territory had already returned.

As the lord, Cao Xing gave a speech as usual and praised the bravery of this group of soldiers.

Then, thousands of soldiers returned to the canteen to dine with excitement.

On the spot, some core combat personnel remained.

This included Hilda, Dragon Speaker, and Assam and others.

The Blood Spider Queen elegantly raised her right hand, with a Blood Spider crawling over the back of her hand, showing her eerie and powerful nature.

The Dragon Speaker looked like a cold sword, emitting astonishing killing intent and chill!

Nearby, Assam looked majestic, like a general returning from a hundred battles.

After a day of fighting, they had slaughtered countless strong enemies, and each person seemed to have condensed an invincible and powerful aura.

You know, just Cao Xing's combat personnel had wiped out two or three million of the Blood Legion.

So many monsters contributed a massive amount of experience points to them.

The newly leveled-up Hilda, Andrew, Renice, and Dabai were skyrocketing in level!

Especially Andrew and Hilda, because these two heroes had the [Life Bloom] and [Queens Will] state skills, they could share experience from others.

So, in one day, their levels skyrocketed from level 70 to level 94!

One day and 24 levels gained, the concept of this is self-evident.

Others also leveled up by about four or five levels. Assam and Frost Wolf had all reached above level 90, becoming Tier 10 creatures.

The Legendary-grade Isabelle also skyrocketed to level 107.

Besides the level increase, they had killed so many monsters, which naturally meant Cao Xing had harvested massive battle merit.

With some anticipation, he glanced at his battle merit value.

[Battle Merit: 18.7445 million]

"Good, good, good, almost broke 20 million!"

"With these battle merits, I can exchange for another Relic box."

"Counting the two Hearts of Legend I have left, there might be hope for another Legendary to appear!"

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then looked at everyone on the field.

"Everyone, your performance today was very good, and I am proud of you."

"You can all go back to rest now."

"Hilda, you stay."

Hearing this, these core combat personnel looked at each other.

Assam said: "Lord, after we killed those Blood Legion members today, some things dropped on the ground."

"We collected these things, please take a look."

As he finished, he handed over a small backpack.

Cao Xing took it and transferred the items inside.

[Obtained: Blood Crystal (Gold) * 114]

[Obtained: Blood of the Strong * 7]

"Oh? It's actually this kind of material?"

Previously, after Cao Xing took down that Myriarch, it had also dropped a few.

He knew that this type of Blood Crystal was a material used to build structures in the Blood series.

As for the Blood of the Strong that followed, it was an unexpected harvest.

"Very good. Everyone, give me the materials you have."

Hearing this, everyone handed their items over one after another.

After Cao Xing took them all, he tallied them up.

In just one day, the cumulative harvest was:

[Blood Crystal * 342]

[Blood of the Strong * 28]

"Not bad. Over three hundred Blood Crystals, equivalent to over three million Battle Merits."

"And the other 20-plus drops of Blood of the Strong will allow nine people to significantly increase their attack power."

Although killing the Blood Legion doesn't drop equipment, souls, or other items, it does provide Battle Merits and has a small chance of dropping Blood Crystals and Blood of the Strong, which is still quite good.

Thus, Cao Xing waved his hand and distributed the Blood of the Strong to Andrew, Renice, Dabai, Woli, and the others…

Even King Velen and Sarah, who were in the necromancers bag, were released by Cao Xing.

After everyone finished absorbing them, these powerhouses dispersed one after another.

Soon, only Cao Xing and Hilda remained.

The Blood Spider Queen crossed her arms, gently lifting the exaggerated scale of her chest.

The eight eyes on her head were all fixed on Cao Xing, and her tone carried a hint of laziness: "Is there something you need?"

"Of course there is."

Cao Xing nodded and said: "Let's go. Come with me to the basement."

After saying that, he walked directly toward the basement area.

The Blood Spider Queen understood his meaning, strode forward on her long legs, and followed behind Cao Xing.

The two of them, one after the other, soon entered the interior of the basement.

It was pitch black before them. The atmosphere in the basement felt somewhat cold and chilly, and the air was permeated with a faint smell of decay.

And when Cao Xing lit a torch, a strange and creepy scene appeared before their eyes.

Dozens of corpses were lying scattered across the floor.

Most of them were human. Under the extreme cold of this world, their faces were as pale as paper, and their expressions were frozen at the final moment before death, looking exceptionally hideous.

Even in death, these corpses still emitted a heart-palpitating pressure.

After all, these were the corpses of ten Hero-level and two Legendary-level powerhouses.

For those necromancers or other classes that rely on corpses to gain power, this could be called an astonishing fortune.

"Hilda, do it. Incubate all these corpses." Cao Xing's voice rang out.

Hearing the order, the Blood Spider Queen stuck out her scarlet tongue, licked her lips, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"So many corpses of powerhouses. This is not bad."

"It seems that today, I will be able to incubate some Commander-level Blood Spiders again~"

After saying this, Hilda extended her right hand, waved it casually, and drops of Royal Blood sprinkled onto the ten Hero-level corpses.

Now, she had reached level 94 and could completely incubate all these Hero-level corpses.

Only those two Legendary-level corpses would have to wait for a while longer.

And this gave Cao Xing a new doubt in his heart.

"If I wait until Hilda breaks through to Legendary and then incubate these Legendary-level corpses, will it directly incubate Legendary-level Blood Spiders?"

"If that's possible, it would be too exaggerated!"

This question was something even Hilda herself did not know. Because in her previous life, she had only reached level seventy-plus at her peak and had never touched the Legendary realm.

Cao Xing shook his head and thought to himself: "I can only wait until later to test it out."

Just as Cao Xing was thinking about these things, Hilda's incubation process was gradually nearing its end.

The abdomens of the ten corpses on the ground began to swell rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they had bloated to the size of a ball.

"Pop~ Pop pop~"

With a series of bursting sounds, Blood Spiders of various sizes, their entire bodies emitting an eerie red light, crawled out from the corpses.

They turned their heads and began to rapidly devour the corpses, and their sizes grew rapidly as well!

Before long, ten Blood Spiders, their entire bodies radiating a dangerous aura, appeared before the two of them!

Scarlet patterns were coiled around their bodies, and their eight eyes flashed with cold light, as if they were ready to tear everything apart at any moment.

Hilda looked at these Blood Spiders before her with satisfaction, a bewitching smile curling the corners of her lips.

"The quality of this batch of hatched Blood Spiders is quite good."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also took a quick look.

[Mutated Blood Spider] [Level: 80 (Tier 9 Creature)] [Potential: Mutated Commander]

[Gigantic Blood Spider] [Level: 90 (Tier 10 Creature)] [Potential: Commander]

[Bloodthirsty Demon Spider] [Level: 80 (Tier 8 Creature)] [Potential: Mutated Commander]

As expected, just as Hilda said, the quality of this batch of Blood Spiders was terrifying. The lowest were all Tier 8 Leader-level creatures!

In other words, Cao Xing had instantly gained ten Hero-level combat powers.

However, the only drawback was that the levels of these Blood Spiders were fixed and could not continue to level up.

Cao Xing said with satisfaction: "Well done, Hilda."

He paused for a moment and continued: "Next, when I find your Relic, I will find a way to help you break through to Legendary. Then, we can look for clues regarding the Spider Queen's Scepter."

Hearing the last two sentences, the compound eyes on the Blood Spider Queen's head rotated, and a glimmer of longing flashed in her eyes.

Hilda's lips curled into a bewitching smile, her voice low and alluring: "I didn't expect you to care so much about this Queen."

"Then today, this Queen will make an exception and give you a reward~"

"Hmm?" Cao Xing's eyes held some confusion, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

At this moment, Hilda waved her hand casually.

Those Blood Spiders crawled away rapidly and disappeared into the shadows, and along with them, the other two Legendary-level corpses also vanished from the spot.

The entire basement instantly became empty, leaving only Cao Xing and Hilda.

"Tap tap… tap tap." She moved her eight long legs and slowly approached Cao Xing.

Her eyes held an indescribable expression, as if she had locked onto her prey, making Cao Xing feel a bit creeped out.

"What are you trying to do? I am your Lord."

Cao Xing subconsciously took a few steps back.

The Blood Spider Queen tapped her lips lightly and let out a low laugh: "Hehehe~ What are you afraid of, Lord?"

"I'm not going to eat you."

Cao Xing's mouth twitched: "That's exactly what I'm afraid of!"

He retreated again. And just then, Hilda waved her hands once more.

"Whoosh~!" Scarlet spider silk gushed out like a tide, instantly blocking off the space behind him completely and sealing the basement passage as well.

Hilda's smile became even more bewitching, her voice carrying a trace of playfulness: "Lord—now you have nowhere to run, do you?"

Cao Xing's heart tightened. Before he could react, a strand of spider silk quickly wrapped around his waist.

Following that, a powerful force came, and Cao Xing was pulled uncontrollably toward Hilda!

With a "poof" sound, Cao Xing collided with Hilda's chest.

A pair of soft cushions blocked his vision. Then, Cao Xing met Hilda's dazed gaze and moist lips.

Although he still felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, Cao Xing thought about his own strength and quickly made a decision: "I am a Tier 10 Dragon Mage, what the hell am I afraid of!"

Before she could react, Cao Xing kissed her on the spot.

The moment their lips touched, all of Hilda's eyes widened instantly.

"Mmph…——"

And when she sensed the intrusion into her mouth, her gaze became dazed once again.

At the same time, this cold and glamorous Blood Spider Queen, after adapting, became even more passionate.

Waves of red powdery mist were released from her body, and the environment of the entire basement became hazy.

The faint dim light of the magic torch shone through the layers of mist, illuminating Hilda's face, making it look bewitching and beautiful.

A few minutes later, the two parted their lips.

Hilda touched the corner of her mouth, and a smile gradually emerged.

"So—this is the taste of a male?"

"It seems not bad at all."

Cao Xing also took a deep breath and then calmed the emotions in his heart.

"Hilda, let's stop here for today."

However, upon hearing this, that beautiful and bewitching face of the Blood Spider Queen quickly leaned in close once again.
