Giant Eagle’s Nest, the church’s resource point. (5600)

From these two corpses, two palm-sized, red-glowing Blood Spiders quickly crawled out.

"Siyou———Siyou———"

They raised their heads and stared at their Queen.

Newly emerged Blood Spiders do not have any combat power yet, and they need to completely devour the corpses to grow rapidly.

Then, they began to gnaw on the corpses according to Hilda's instructions.

"Aiya aiya———"

"Wei—. Wei———"

A scalp-tingling chewing sound came over.

And with their chewing actions, these two Blood Spiders were also growing continuously at a visible speed.

However, the Blood Spider on Taside's side gnawed a bit slower.

After all, he was a Dominator-grade creature, and his physical strength even surpassed that of the Soul-Devouring Underworld Worm.

After about three to four minutes, the two corpses were devoured clean.

In front of Cao Xing and Hilda appeared a large and a small Blood Spider covered in blood-red scales.

The scales on their bodies looked as if they had been polished, with an eerie red light shining on the surface, and one could even see their own reflections in them.

The body shapes of the two Blood Spiders were different.

The large one was nearly two meters tall, resembling a small fortress. Its body was thick and sturdy, and its eight long legs were like thick iron pillars.

The small one was only about ten centimeters, but its body lines were smoother, its movements were extremely flexible, and it could make various complex movements in an instant.

The bright compound eyes carried a sharp gaze, as if they could pierce through everything!

Comparatively, that small Blood Spider's aura looked even more dangerous!

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes of the two Blood Spiders.

(Note: This skill has a certain failure probability when facing powerful enemies.)

[Talent: Blood Poison]

"Turtle, a mutant Commander-grade creature actually appeared!"

"And this Mutated Blood Spider is a bit perverted!"

"Especially its Commander-grade skill, it actually drills directly into the enemy's body and destroys internal organs."

"Just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle!"

After all, Taside's corpse was Level 70 Dominator-strength, so hatching a Level 60 mutant Commander Blood Spider was quite normal.

Moreover, although it was a mutant Commander, because it was hatched using the corpse of another creature, its attributes were actually similar to ordinary Commanders of the same level.

The other Giant Blood Spider was roughly equivalent to a Chieftain of the same level.

But!

This Giant Blood Spider had an extremely powerful Commander-grade skill that could directly increase attack power and movement speed by 50%, which could be called perverted!

If combined with Cao Xing's various permanent BUFFs, the lethality of these two Blood Spiders far exceeded creatures of the same level.

"Hilda, let these two Blood Spiders join my territory as well."

Since Cao Xing's [Eternal Power] only takes effect on territory members, the Blood Spiders must join first to gain the life blessing of the Pale Tree and a series of other status skills.

Previously, he had also brought all Blood Spiders of Elite grade and above under his command.

As for those ordinary suicide Blood Spiders, there was no need.

First, because they were cannon fodder on the battlefield, and their greatest role was self-detonation.

Moreover, every suicide Blood Spider would occupy one population slot.

With Hilda's terrifyingly large Blood Spider army, no matter how much population Cao Xing had, it wouldn't be enough.

Then, Cao Xing sent two recruitment invitations to these two Blood Spiders.

Logically speaking, creatures like this that only know how to kill and lack intelligence shouldn't be able to join.

However, because they had a leader who could control everything about them, they were able to join the territory just like wise creatures.

Under Hilda's control, a system prompt appeared,

[Recruitment successful: Mutated Blood Spider Lv60 (Mutant Commander-grade creature) has joined your territory, territory population +15]

[Recruitment successful: Giant Blood Spider Lv60 (Commander-grade creature) has joined your territory, territory population +10]

"Not bad, picked up two Commander-grade Blood Spiders for free."

Cao Xing thought happily.

For him, this was completely free.

Before this, the corpses they killed were either all thrown away or processed.

Now, being able to convert these corpses into powerful combat power was still very good.

Cao Xing patted his hands with satisfaction.

"Let's go, Hilda, let's head out."

"Good."

With that, the Blood Spider Queen drove the two Commander-grade Blood Spiders and walked towards the stairs.

Cao Xing followed behind her, all the way up.

Just as they were about to step onto the ground,

The Blood Spider Queen suddenly stopped.

Then she turned around and quickly lowered her head.

Before Cao Xing could react, he saw a seductive face rapidly approaching.

Lips touched.

A moment of time.

Cao Xing felt a warm and moist touch.

A few seconds later.

Hilda Bloodkiss raised her head, then acted as if nothing had happened, quickly turned around, and strode away from here.

Until her figure disappeared in place.

Cao Xing wore a quirky smile on his lips.

Touching his lips, there was still a tiny bit of red blood left on them.

"This Queen is really interesting — Even to the point of absolute loyalty, she still can't let go of her pride." Cao Xing thought with a chuckle.

"Speaking of which, her figure is really good."

When she lowered her body just now, in a fleeting glance,

Cao Xing saw that exaggerated scale.

It could be said that it ranked in the top three among all the women in the territory, and even had the potential to rank first.

He shook his head and cast aside the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Most of the harvest from this battle had already been digested.

Now there was only one last Commander-grade soul left, and Cao Xing decided to give it to Renice according to the order they joined.

"Next, I'll go ask Elisa and Herlie about their reconnaissance situation."

"Then I'll go find Renice to ask about that Elven tribe and give her the soul by the way."

So, Cao Xing pressed the communication device and asked, "Elisa, where are you right now?"

Before long, a crisp voice sounded in his ear.

"Lord Lord, I am waiting for you in Herlie Big Sister's room, hurry up and come!"

It was clear that these two little girls knew Cao Xing would come looking for them, so they were waiting in the room to report on their work.

Cao Xing went straight to the residential area of the territory.

"Creak!"

The wooden door pushed open, revealing a warm fireplace burning inside and two figures sitting back-to-back on a table.

Four short legs were dangling in mid-air.

Seeing Cao Xing's figure, Elisa pushed with her hands and jumped down from the wooden table at once.

"Lord Lord, you're here!"

"Come over and see what I found?"

She acted as if she had found some treasure, appearing very excited.

Cao Xing asked with interest, "Oh? What is it?"

"Tada! It's this!"

As her words fell, little Elisa took out an item covered with a white cloth.

After uncovering it, a blue-brown egg, about half the size of a human head, appeared in her hand.

"What creature's egg is this?" Cao Xing asked doubtfully.

Elisa said proudly, "It's a Humpbacked Giant Eagle's egg!"

"Moreover, the little bird inside is almost hatched, I'm getting ready to hatch it."

"Awesome, right! Hmph!"

Cao Xing was slightly stunned, but understood what was going on.

This time, the target he sent Elisa and the others to track was the Humpbacked Giant Eagle. It seemed they had some new discoveries.

"Elisa, you took this egg, you weren't noticed, right?"

Cao Xing asked, the Humpbacked Giant Eagle was the thing the Church of Light used to transport supplies last time. If the eagle flock was alarmed, they might be noticed by the other party.

Elisa shook her head and said, "No, we just found the Humpbacked Giant Eagle's nest on the way, there were a lot of bird eggs inside."

"This one rolled down from the nest, and the little bird inside almost froze to death, so I picked it up!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I get it."

"Now, Elisa, Herlie, talk about your discoveries this time."

The two girls looked at each other.

Elisa said, "Herlie Big Sister, you talk."

Herlie nodded slightly, then came to Cao Xing and reported: "According to your instructions, we kept moving southwest."

"After advancing for about three thousand kilometers, we still didn't find the location of the Church of Light headquarters or branch you mentioned."

"Then, we searched for another two days or so."

"By chance, we found this giant eagle's nest."

"So we thought of what you said, and then started exploring the surroundings with this nest as the center. Unexpectedly, we really found several strongholds of the Church of Light!"

"However — we didn't find the headquarters of the Church of Light this time—"

Speaking of this, the two little girls looked a bit disappointed.

Cao Xing didn't mind.

After all, the old king's side had already determined the location of the headquarters, and it was already very good that Elisa and the others could find the locations of a few branches.

And speaking of this, Herlie changed the subject.

"However, although we didn't find the headquarters of the Church of Light, we found another place!"

"This place is equally very important!"

Cao Xing's interest was piqued, "Oh? What is it?"

"It's a resource point of the Church of Light!"

"We saw many, many boxes inside, filled with gems, cannonballs, and a large number of weapons."

"They even captured a lot of blacksmiths and were forging all kinds of equipment there!"

Upon hearing Herlie's description, Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

This place, it sounded not just like a resource point, but also an arms factory?

The weapons and equipment of most members of the entire Church were probably provided by this stronghold.

This was a relatively important place. If it was destroyed, it would definitely cause them heavy losses.

Moreover, he could also loot quite a few resources from inside.

Cao Xing praised, "Herlie, Elisa, well done!"

Upon receiving praise from their lord, the two little girls giggled foolishly.

After a moment,

Elisa suddenly said, "Lord Lord, we found the Humpbacked Giant Eagle's nest and this stronghold this time, is there any reward for us?"

She stared with starry eyes, looking at Cao Xing with anticipation.

Cao Xing was in a very good mood right now and readily agreed, "Sure, what reward do you want?"

Elisa cheered, "I want to drive a Goblin Airship like Little Chuchu!"

Last time when Tong Chuchu drove the Goblin Airship and took everyone flying into the sky, it made this little girl extremely envious.

Now that she found the opportunity, she immediately made the request.

Lord Cao approved it on the spot.

"Alright, I'll give you an exclusive airship, and you can use this airship freely in the future."

"Hooray!"

"Thank you, Lord Lord!"

Little Elisa was so happy she almost jumped up.

A moment later, she seemed to have remembered something.

"Right, I'm going to put this bird egg back into the chicken coop!"

"The little bird is going to hatch soon."

"Goodbye, Lord Lord!"

With that, little Elisa hurried away.

Soon, only the beast-ear girl Herlie and Cao Xing were left in the room.

Cao Xing chuckled, "Herlie, your performance this time was also very good, do you want any reward?"

The beast-ear girl said shyly, "Lord Lord, Herlie doesn't need any reward. You have already helped me improve my strength a lot."

Cao Xing didn't speak, but pondered for a moment, then took out a black fruit from his backpack.

This fruit was about the size of an adult's fist, with a string of mysterious patterns on it, and at the same time emitting wisps of black smoke.

It was precisely the [Dark Night Abyss Fruit] he bought in the Merlind City black market last time, which could increase dark night affinity by 20%.

When Herlie saw this fruit, she was instantly attracted by the aura on it, her furry ears twitching.

"Sniff sniff—"

"Such a fragrant smell, what kind of fruit is this, Lord Lord?"

Cao Xing directly threw it to her, "You'll know after eating it."

After Herlie caught the fruit, she didn't have the slightest doubt or hesitation.

Revealing a pair of small tiger teeth, she started to gnaw on it.

This black fruit was swallowed by her in just a few bites.

Before long, wisps of dark night aura emanated from the beast-ear girl's body, as if she was about to disappear into the darkness.

"Wow! This Shadow Shadow feels like it has merged with the dark night, making my stealth ability even stronger."

"Next time I execute an assassination mission, I won't be discovered even more easily!"

She looked very excited.

Cao Xing smiled, "You've been tired these past few days, get some good rest."

"I'm heading out first."

With that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

And right at this moment, he suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged by something.

Cao Xing turned around and saw the beast-ear girl lowering her head.

"Ha—ha—."

Heavy breathing kept coming.

Cao Xing smelled a strange smell in the room.

This smell seemed to stimulate his hormones to secrete wildly.

Cao Xing thought of the Blood Spider Queen he had just encountered, and something seemed to be stirring in his heart.

He walked straight forward.

And the beast-ear girl in front of him shook her little head upon hearing this.

"Lord Lord, please don't apologize, although it was a bit uncomfortable at first."

An hour later.

Herlie fell weakly onto the bed, with a flush on her face.

Cao Xing gently covered her with a blanket.

Then he returned to the outside of the territory.

When he came out of Herlie's room, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon.

It was getting dark.

The howling cold wind made people's brains gradually regain clarity.

However, Cao Xing noticed that in this short hour or so, some kind of change seemed to have happened in the territory.

The line of sight in front of him was obstructed, as if a thin layer of mist shrouded the entire territory.

Especially outside the territory, in the range where the Energy Station could not cover, this mist was even thicker.

"Huh? Is this some kind of weather phenomenon?"

Although feeling a bit puzzled, this mist didn't cause him any trouble.

He shook his head. Now he had to go ask Renice about another matter, and by the way, give her the Commander-grade soul to see if it would succeed.
