Open a lot of treasure chests and go to the main city of Everfrost! (5200)
Chapter 484: Opening a Large Number of Treasure Chests, Heading to the Eternal Frost Main City! (5200)
Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up!
"This ranking reward feels pretty awesome!"
"And the monster siege happens once a week. Doesn't that mean I can steadily get at least two Bright Moon Treasure Chests every week, plus 100 gold points?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha! This is just too comfortable!"
At this moment, looking at the two Bright Moon Treasure Chests, six gold treasure chests, and other bronze and Silver Treasure Chests in his backpack,
Cao Xing couldn't wait to go on a crazy chest-opening spree!
However, before opening the chests, he still needed to pacify the warriors in his territory.
Thus, Cao Xing stood on the city wall and said,
"Everyone, you've worked hard in tonight's battle!"
"I am extremely satisfied with your performance!"
"Even the staff members in our territory are all wonderful!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the warriors below instantly turned excited.
Especially that group of Arctic People; after gaining Cao Xing's recognition, they were even more excited beyond words!
When the territory encountered danger, they also contributed their own strength!
That sense of accomplishment and honor was almost indescribable.
"We are willing to shed our last drop of blood for the territory!"
"Lord, your divine might is boundless! Under your leadership, we can defeat all enemies."
"Victory! Victory!"
The crowd's emotions became extremely fervent.
And Cao Xing slowly reached out his hand, calming the excited crowd.
Then he said with a smile on his face,
"I am also proud of you all."
"Now, all warriors, go back and rest!"
"Cao Yi, take the other staff members and work hard to clean up the battlefield outside."
The commotion from the previous battle was too huge; both the front and back of the territory were large-scale battlefields!
Especially Cao Xing's wave of forbidden spells just now, which directly destroyed the terrain on a large scale.
Now work like leveling it out needed to be done.
The old man Cao Yi stood in the crowd and said respectfully, "As you command, Lord."
The crowd acted one after another according to Cao Xing's instructions.
More than a thousand combatants, plus the robot army, all returned into the territory.
As for those Arctic People and the villagers of Puteng Village, led by the old man Cao Yi, they rushed out of the territory with excited expressions.
Although it was already late at night, their enthusiasm did not wane at all.
Meanwhile, on the city wall, the newly joined Gwyneth hugged her lute and took a deep look at Cao Xing.
That noblewoman was even more shocked beyond measure.
This was the first time she had seen these combatants in Cao Xing's territory going all out.
"What a formidable territory—"
"No wonder Fizz told me to come here to seek asylum."
"This truly is the safest place."
After all the warriors went back, Liu Muxue also returned to the Lords Castle to rest.
Cao Xing came by himself to the open space next to the Energy Station,
and an excited look gradually appeared in his eyes!
"Next, I can finally happily open the chests."
He first took out the two bronze and three Silver Treasure Chests from his backpack.
"Clang!"
The heavy treasure chests landed on the ground.
Cao Xing stepped forward and directly clicked to open them.
[Opening successful]
[Obtained: Withered Staff (Green)]
[Obtained: Rusted Black Sword (Green)]
[Obtained: Rebirth Warlock Necklace (Blue)]
[Obtained: Blackened Eyeball (Blue)]
[Obtained: Mirage Pearl (Purple)]
[Obtained: Small Resource Pack * 3]
[Obtained: Medium Resource Pack * 6]
[Obtained: Primary Magic Energy Crystal * 12]
[Obtained—]
The items opened from the five treasure chests were mediocre, mostly equipment and props of Excellent and Rare quality.
The only interesting one among them was that purple Rare-quality pearl.
He glanced at its attributes.
[Mirage Pearl (Purple)]
[Quality: Rare]
[Item Effect: After releasing, it can create an illusory scene in the area 10 meters in diameter ahead, used to confuse enemies.]
The effect of this gadget was very simple.
To put it bluntly, it created an illusion, achieving an effect similar to being trapped by a ghost maze.
Of course, this illusion did not truly exist; as long as one came into contact with it, they would realize it was fake.
Cao Xing put it away into his backpack.
Although this pearl didn't have much offensive power, who knew when it might come in handy?
After finishing the bronze and Silver Treasure Chests, next were the gold treasure chests!
With excitement, Cao Xing took out all 6 gold treasure chests from his backpack!
"Clatter!"
The gleaming gold treasure chests were arranged on the ground, looking very eye-catching.
Cao Xing directly clicked to open all of them!
[Opening successful]
[Obtained: Large Cold-Resistant Potion Formula (Gold)]
[Obtained: Advanced City Wall Construction Blueprint]
[Obtained: Thorn Fruit Turret Seed (Gold) * 5]
[Obtained: Rune Sword (Gold)]
[Obtained: Daytime Belt (Gold)]
[Obtained: Wild Tracking Skill Book (Purple)]
[Obtained—]
Besides these things, there were also some resource packs and other sundries.
Among the six gold treasure chests, four items of Golden quality were opened, which was quite good.
And among them, there were two things that made Cao Xing's heart flutter.
They were respectively the [Large Cold-Resistant Potion Formula] and another five golden turret seeds.
He glanced at their attributes.
[Large Cold-Resistant Potion Formula]
[Quality: Precious]
[Effect: After consumption, it can significantly increase the body's cold resistance strength within 30 minutes, allowing survival in extreme environments around -70°C to -80°C.]
[Required Materials for Crafting: Advanced Alchemy Workshop, Dragon Blood Grass * 1, Red Cloud Petal * 1, Dwarf Spirits * 200ml]
(Note: A cold-resistant potion formula improved after multiple modifications.)
[Thorn Fruit Turret Seed]
[Quality: Precious]
[Item Effect: Planted in the territory, it can grow a few Thorn Fruit Turrets used for defense. The turret level is Level 30, a Tier 4 Boss-level creature, possessing skills like "Thorn-Filled Ground" and "Fruit Burst".]
(Note: The Thorn Fruit Turret has a relatively harsh growing environment and requires daily care.)
Both of these were good things!
Needless to say about the previous cold-resistant potion formula; in this cold world, these potions were god-tier potions!
Moreover, other Survivors were different from Cao Xing; they didn't have a talent like Eternal Power.
Therefore, cold-resistant potions were merely consumables to them, and once a bottle was used up, they had to buy another one.
No matter when, they could be sold at a high price.
If they could be mass-produced,
besides agriculture, animal husbandry, and the liquor industry, Cao Xing could have yet another source of income.
"However, if one wants to refine this kind of potion, the required materials are a bit tricky to get."
"I've never even heard of a material like Red Cloud Flower."
"I'll ask Francesca when I have time."
As for the other five [Thorn Fruit Turret Seeds], they were equally important.
Today, the performance of those two vine-head turrets in the territory had already proven the power of this plant turret!
Their defensive capability was quite formidable.
In particular, these plant seeds, just like the War Ancient Tree, could gain experience points by killing enemies and then grow.
Once all five Thorn Fruit Turrets grew up, they could bring considerable assistance to the territory again.
With satisfaction, he put these two things away into his backpack.
As for the other things, there was no need to look at them.
Although the attributes of those golden equipments were decent, they couldn't bring him much improvement.
He could just randomly distribute them to his subordinate combatants later.
The only relatively distinctive one was the [Wild Awakening] skill book, but it was used by the Snowfield Hunter class.
There was no hunter class in his territory.
Although Xia Yanni was a hunter, she didn't need to fight.
Cao Xing decided to throw it directly onto the market for consignment.
Now, all Silver Treasure Chests and gold treasure chests had been opened.
Next came the main event!
"Clang! Clang!"
Two Bright Moon Treasure Chests were directly taken out by Cao Xing.
And he clicked to open them!
[Opening successful.]
[Obtained: power beads (Orange)]
[Obtained: Dragon-patterned Bag (Orange)]
[Obtained: Advanced Energy Crystal * 7]
[Obtained: master-level elemental crystal * 32]
[Obtained: Large Resource Pack * 7]
[Obtained: Withered Grass Seeds * 172]
"Haha! Two orange props, awesome!"
Cao Xing first pulled out the attributes of that bead from his backpack.
This bead was the size of a palm, transparent, and looked unremarkable.
[power beads (Orange)]
[Quality: Epic]
[divine power value: 0 / 50]
[Item Effect: Can automatically collect 1 point of divine power every day, storing it in the power beads. When needed, the divine power in the beads can be used for recharging.]
"? A divine power value power bank?"
"Good stuff!"
By now, Cao Xing already knew that 'divine power' was a kind of power used by strong beings above the Legendary level.
This power could be used to drive some powerful skills or equipment.
However, because it was relatively difficult to recover, under normal circumstances, those Legendary and demigod powerhouses would not easily use it.
With these power beads, besides the Divine Power Shard, Cao Xing had another means of recovery.
"Not bad."
With a pleasant mood, he began to check the other item.
This was a dark red backpack, looking like it was made from the thick skin of some special creature.
It faintly exuded a trace of majestic aura.
He glanced at its attributes.
[Dragon-patterned Bag (Orange)]
[Quality: Epic]
[Item Type: Backpack]
[Storage Space: 500 Slots]
[Bonus Effect: Physique +300, Recovery Effect +10%]
"Holy shit! A super-large backpack with 500 slots. Is it that overpowered?"
You must know that the backpack Cao Xing was currently using was only 80 slots.
Yet the number of things it could hold was already quite astonishing.
And with this backpack, he felt that he could even fit the supplies of a large warehouse!
In the future, looting and gathering resources would be even more convenient.
He would no longer be troubled by insufficient backpack space.
Cao Xing equipped it without any hesitation.
In an instant, his physique increased by a huge margin once again!
"Very good. The harvest from this monster siege is simply massive."
"Not only did my level rise, but I also obtained so many precious treasures!"
"If we can have a few more times like this, not only will we harvest a large number of treasures, but we can also raise everyone to Level 70!"
"However, the only pity is that there is currently no place to obtain the Hero's Heart."
"Otherwise, I could immediately possess a large number of Hero-level powerhouses!"
Of course, Cao Xing was just thinking about it.
The importance of a Hero-level powerhouse went without saying.
Even a kingdom treated Hero-level powerhouses with great courtesy.
Therefore, breakthrough items of this level were extremely difficult to get, needless to think about it.
Feeling satisfied, Cao Xing returned to the Lords Castle.
Then he began to catch up on sleep.
After all, three hours had passed since this battle until now.
Tomorrow he was also prepared to wake up early and head to the Eternal Frost Main City.
So he needed to rest up first.
For the upcoming trip to the Eternal Frost Main City, Cao Xing also felt quite looking forward to it in his heart.
Night fell —.
After Cao Xing entered dreamland.
Many Survivors were digesting the harvest from this monster siege, too excited to sleep.
Quite a number of people took the items opened from the treasure chests that they couldn't use to the market to exchange with other Survivors.
For a time, the market ushered in an unprecedentedly lively moment.
Of course, these had nothing to do with Cao Xing.
A night's time passed quickly.
The next day —
A system prompt appeared.
[Survivors, please note that you have entered the 8th day of the development period, and the second round of monster siege will start on the 14th day of the development period.]
[Enemies are coming — — Before that, do your best to improve yourselves!]
[Weather Forecast: Temperatures will plummet sharply today, ranging from -62°C to -73°C. Please prepare well for cold protection and warmth when going out!]
Following the system prompt.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue woke up at the same time, and they also noticed the subsequent system prompts.
Cao Xing said in a low voice: "It actually dropped by so many degrees — — No wonder I felt the temperature last night was much lower."
If it were under such extreme low temperatures in the early stage of descending into this world, the number of deaths during the newbie period would surge massively again!
Fortunately, after so long, the levels of the Survivors had improved a lot.
You must know that this was not only an increase in level, but also an increase in physique.
The stronger the physique, the stronger the cold resistance ability.
Upon reaching the Master level, one could go bare-chested in temperatures of minus fifty or sixty degrees without being frozen stiff.
Of course, guys like Braum who could bare their upper bodies at level ten-plus were different.
This was a freak, so they couldn't be lumped together.
And Cao Xing noticed another prompt.
"Enemies are coming? Does it refer to the Blood Legion."
However, up until now.
Cao Xing had not yet contacted the Blood Legion, and fundamentally didn't know what kind of existence this faction was.
Pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, we will run into them eventually anyway, there's no need to think about these now."
Thus, Cao Xing looked at Liu Muxue in his arms and then said: "Muxue, your level seems to have reached the full level of 70, right?"
The beauty beside his pillow nodded gently.
Cao Xing continued: "Then you should bind the ancient treasure sword first."
"Alright."
She obediently followed suit.
When the familiar system prompt appeared, Cao Xing's luck value increased by another 10 points.
Correspondingly, Liu Muxue's attributes also obtained a massive surge.
Then, Cao Xing said again.
"Muxue, today I will take a few people to head to the Eternal Frost Main City."
"We might not be able to return in a short time."
"Therefore, during this period, the matters in the territory will be left to you."
A serious expression also appeared on this woman's face.
"I know, Axing. I will guard our territory well."
A trace of a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face, and then he kissed her forehead.
The two simply washed up and came outside the territory.
Cao Xing might leave for a period this time, so he needed to arrange the subsequent matters well.
Therefore, Cao Xing shouted out.
"Everyone, assemble."
Hearing the sound, more than two thousand people in the entire territory gathered over.
Cao Xing quickly ordered: "Next, I will be leaving for a few days."
"Everything in the territory will obey my wife's command."
"All staff, you will continue according to your previous work, upgrading city walls and building more arrow towers."
"Also, the territory's animal husbandry and agriculture must be managed with focus."
"In addition, Bjorn and Xiao, you guys will continue to go and destroy more Ice Nests during the day."
As Cao Xing gave one order after another, everyone also solemnly nodded one after another.
And Cao Xing began to call names.
"Sarah, Braum, Assam, Isabelle, Victoria, you five are coming with me."
The five chosen by Cao Xing were all humanoid creatures.
Even in the Eternal Frost Main City, they wouldn't be so conspicuous.
Like Blood Spider Queen Hilda, Centaur Harati, Giant Jode Ironfrost and so on, these people couldn't be brought along.
And Braum, who was selected, immediately excitedly said: "Aha! Braum will protect you, Lord."
Liu Muxue softly asked from the side: "Axing, is bringing these people enough?"
"How about you take Andrew and the others along as well?"
Cao Xing shook his head, "It is already enough. I won't participate in some dangerous battles going out this time."
"With our strength, we can deal with many enemies."
"And by comparison, the territory is more important."
Speaking of this, he solemnly instructed.
"Muxue, if you encounter an enemy that cannot be defeated, go to that underground city at the first time and let that group of undead help."
Liu Muxue nodded with a solemn expression; she knew who the enemy Cao Xing mentioned was.
Church of Light!
The contact the night before yesterday had already made both sides confirm each other's positions.
Therefore, the Seed of Light was likely already prepared to deal with Cao Xing at this time!
Even if Cao Xing was not in the territory, enough manpower had to be left for defense.
Liu Muxue solemnly said.
"I know. With me here, no accidents will happen to the territory!"
"Good!"
Then, Cao Xing called over that bard.
Gwyneth hugged her lute and walked gracefully out of the room.
Cao Xing said: "These few days, you will go out with me for a trip."
Going to the Eternal Frost Main City this time, he decided to look around by the way to see if there was a way to restore this woman's voice.
If there was, she could recover on the spot.
Gwyneth nodded gently, and then stood aside to wait.
After finishing these, Cao Xing also brought along the Light Feather Chicken Buoyancy.
Because Cao Xing still remembered that the old man Qinong had said that he would take his wife to the Eternal Frost Main City for medical treatment.
He didn't know if the illness on his wife's body had been resolved.
If not, Buoyancy could take action.
At that time, this old man wouldn't need to run around everywhere for his wife's illness.
Now, everything was ready.
Cao Xing looked at everyone in the territory and said: "We are ready to set off now."
"Braum, you guys come over with me, we will take the goblin airship over together."
With these words, he came to the center of the territory, beside a goblin airship that had long been prepared.
Cao Xing and the others, totaling seven people, one chicken, and one wolf, all entered the cabin.
And he himself quickly came to the pilot position.
As the startup button of the airship was pressed, the front and rear propellers began to spin rapidly.
"Whoosh — — Whoosh whoosh whoosh — —"
A moment later, the airship began to rise.
A dozen seconds later, the airship rose higher and higher, gradually flying to the sky over a thousand meters high, and then advancing rapidly forward.
Under the watchful eyes of more than a thousand people in the territory, they disappeared into mid-air.
