Undead talents and spells merged. (6000)

"Great Lord Cao Xing, my talent is called 'Undead'." Tian Jing replied.

"Undead?"

Cao Xing asked suspiciously: "What are its specific functions?"

This Tian Jing immediately replied: "It is… no matter how badly I am injured, even if I die, I will resurrect the next day…"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was suddenly shocked!

Good heavens! Is this talent really that overpowered?

Even if I die, I resurrect the next day; this is simply invincible, right?

Cao Xing asked suspiciously: "With such an overpowered talent, how did you get caught?"

This Tian Jing said helplessly: "Because when I first entered this world, I didn't have my own territory like you guys; instead, I descended into a small village."

"And the price of becoming an Undead is that I cannot choose any profession."

"Also, my race automatically changed to Corpse…"

Cao Xing suddenly found it amusing.

Corpse? This is the first time he has heard of this race.

And not being able to choose a profession means he basically has no combat power and can only rely on his subordinates to fight.

More importantly, this guy doesn't even have a territory.

It's equivalent to becoming an ordinary person with no power to truss a chicken.

No, even worse than an ordinary person.

The ordinary people in this world have quite strong physical fitness; if they were to spar head-on, they could probably knock out an adult with one punch.

Not to mention that this Tian Jing is a corpse.

Tian Jing said helplessly: "It's not just that my race turned into a Corpse; my body also started becoming like a dead person's."

"My skin became pale, I lost all sensation, and corpse spots even started growing on my body."

"Those villagers looked at me like I was a monster!"

"On the third night after I descended into this world, I was starving in the middle of the night and went out to find some food. As a result, the village militia saw me, thought a monster had entered the village, and stabbed me to death with a sword!"

"Just like that, I got my first death in this world."

The tone of Tian Jing on the other side was full of misery.

"Then, they picked up my corpse, intending to bury it anywhere, but what they didn't expect was that my corpse moved again the next day."

"This scared the whole village silly. A group of militiamen rushed over, pinned my corpse down, and tied me up like a twist."

"Later, they invited priests, exorcists, and hunters, and everyone killed me once."

"The result was that I still resurrected the next day!"

"Even those priests had no way to deal with me."

"Just when those villagers were preparing to burn my corpse on the spot, a noble, whose name I don't know, suddenly came to this village."

"And he spent a lot of money to buy me."

"Later, I was confusedly taken away by this person and locked in a basement."

"It is this person who has been performing all kinds of inhumane experiments on me every day!"

His voice revealed a fear from the depths of his heart!

"He studies my body every day and removes various organs."

"Just now, he cut open my skull and stuffed something inside; I feel like my head is about to explode!"

"If this continues, I feel like I'm going to go crazy!"

After listening to this guy's account, a thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

This guy is indeed quite miserable.

Although he obtained an S-rank talent, it seems this talent didn't bring him any help and instead brought endless disaster.

Being killed so many times by villagers, then taken away by a so-called noble, subjected to inhumane experiments every day, and having to die once more.

By now, nearly three months have passed.

In other words, this person has been locked in that basement for nearly three months.

Equivalent to having died dozens of times!

If it were a normal person, they would have probably had a mental breakdown.

No… perhaps his mind has already broken down, only he hasn't realized it yet…

Cao Xing asked: "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Hearing this, Tian Jing on the other side hurriedly said: "Great Lord Cao Xing, I want you to save me!"

"As long as you can save me, I will do anything!"

Cao Xing seemed to know he would say this, so he asked: "How am I supposed to save you? Do you know where you are?"

"I know!"

This Tian Jing replied without hesitation: "I heard that pervert say that he seems to be a noble settled in the Eternal Frost Main City, which means the secret room I am in now is near the Eternal Frost Main City."

Hearing this, Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

Eternal Frost Main City?

He does indeed have plans to go to that place next.

If circumstances allow, he could save this Tian Jing while he's at it.

After all, an S-rank talent is still very important to the Blue Star human race.

Although Cao Xing doesn't think he has the grand vision of protecting all of humanity.

But if this guy can develop, combined with his undead talent, he could play a powerful role in many situations.

Just right… the Blood Legion is coming soon.

At this time, Cao Xing looked at his backpack again.

There was a class transfer item on it — Poison Flame Giant Lizard Blood.

This thing can allow a Survivor to change their profession or race.

And since this Tian Jing is currently classless, could it be used on him?

Of course, this was just a hypothesis of Cao Xing's.

He doesn't know the character of this Tian Jing yet, so there's no need to consider so much.

So, Cao Xing said directly: "I know, but I don't plan to go to the Eternal Frost Main City in the near future; it might take about a week."

"Can you hold on over there?"

Cao Xing has already sent many people out to investigate, and he also has to deal with the Ancient Battlefield and the monster siege next.

Therefore, he cannot give up his current territory development and disrupt his development rhythm just to save a stranger with no relation to him.

Hearing this, Tian Jing on the other side seemed a bit disappointed.

But he still replied: "I've held on for two or three months; it's no problem to hold on for another week…"

"Great Lord Cao Xing, you must come to save me!"

"I am willing to do anything; I beg you!"

Cao Xing replied speechlessly: "I know, just wait properly."

After speaking, Cao Xing closed the private chat window.

I didn't expect that even someone with an S-rank talent would end up in such a state.

Sure enough, even if you have talent, you can't be too reckless.

Otherwise, you will end up like that goblin Liu Yang, and this Tian Jing.

Cao Xing made up his mind again that he must develop steadily.

On the other side, Tian Jing, after receiving Cao Xing's promise, felt hope rise in his heart again.

Looking at his skull that had just been sewn up, a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth!

He grabbed his remaining few hairs with one hand and yanked hard!

"Rip…"

The skull was directly pried open!

A crazy smile appeared on Tian Jing's pale face as he reached out and stirred frantically inside his own brain!

…

…

Time hurried by.

In the blink of an eye, the daytime passed quickly.

Before it got dark, Commander Bo Jie led the troops back from the outside.

Today they killed quite a few Ice Nest Monsters, and everyone gained a lot of experience.

Including those Ascalon Warriors who had just broken through, they leveled up about five or six levels in one day.

Everyone reached around level 35.

Even Cao Xing, who was lying in the territory eating experience, leveled up by one.

This shows how general it was.

Besides that, their two teams destroyed a total of 7 enhanced Ice Nests, obtaining 70 gold points for Cao Xing.

Although not much, it was quite good when accumulated, after all, enhanced Ice Nests appear every day.

Then, Cao Xing let them go back to rest.

And not long after the Dragon Blood Warriors returned.

Harati also led the Centaurs back to the territory and brought Cao Xing good news.

Today, the place found by Shining New Star was a medium-sized magic crystal mine.

A large amount of magic crystals can be mined from inside.

Hearing this news, Cao Xing also felt overjoyed.

For him, this is also a precious resource.

After all, there is more and more technology in the territory now, and a large amount of magic crystals are consumed every day.

He immediately made a decision that after the mining at the Lanpuli Grotto is finished, he will let Da Zhuang lead the other Goblins to mine this magic crystal mine.

…

…

Night fell.

The warriors returned to the territory one after another and began to dine.

The territory was once again filled with the aroma of food, and there was also the mellow fragrance of wine coming from the advanced winery.

Smelling it once made people feel refreshed all over.

Speaking of which, he had asked Zelko to brew Phantom Magic Wine and Crafted Rum a month ago, and he didn't know how many bottles had been brewed during this time.

Alcohol doesn't look conspicuous, but as long as a related trading system is established, it is a quite profitable industry.

Like this Phantom Magic Wine, one bottle can sell for at least tens of thousands of crowns!

And Cao Xing's cost price might be less than a few thousand crowns, after all, he has the raw materials needed in his territory.

Even the Phantom Magic Vine has already begun to be planted in batches.

It can be imagined how much profit Cao Xing can obtain once bulk trading begins!

So, he decided to check on Zelko's situation tomorrow.

Just then, a figure walked over quickly; it was Dahua.

Then she reported respectfully: "Lord, there was some dispute in the cafeteria just now."

"The big guy who just joined our territory has an enormous appetite; he ate the food meant for hundreds of people by himself, leaving those Wild Boar Warriors with nothing to eat, and the two sides started arguing."

"Later, we temporarily made two hundred more portions of food, only then did they get full."

Cao Xing also remembered that this big guy, Jod Ironfrost, is indeed quite capable of eating.

So he had also instructed Dahua to make an extra hundred portions of food.

Unexpectedly, it was still not enough for this big guy to eat.

"I know, you guys prepare two hundred portions of food for him in advance later."

"Then let him dine alone; don't let him fight with others in the cafeteria."

"Yes."

After Dahua finished reporting, she quickly left.

Meanwhile.

Black Smoke Shaman Blot and Dragon Shaman Weinmne walked over together.

"Respected Lord, good evening."

The two bowed respectfully.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then noticed the somewhat excited expressions on their faces.

"Blot, Weinmne, do you have something to report to me?"

Blot nodded and said, "There is indeed something."

"Today, Weinmne and I coordinated with each other and discovered something peculiar."

"It is that my Black Smoke Storm, when combined with his Lightning Totem, triggers a peculiar reaction."

"Casting these two spells in the same area not only significantly extends the spell duration but also greatly increases their power."

Cao Xing immediately became interested.

"Oh? There's such a thing? Demonstrate it for me."

"As you command!"

Upon hearing this, the two shamans immediately raised their staves.

Instantly, a dark purple totem appeared.

It stood upright on the ground, radiating infinite lightning power to the surrounding area!

"Crack! Crackle!"

At the same time.

On the other side, the Black Smoke Shaman released the boss-level skill, Black Smoke Storm, toward the area where the totem was located.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

A tornado filled with black smoke began to spin at high speed.

Within just one second, the situation inside the storm underwent a peculiar change.

A large amount of lightning appeared within the black smoke!

And in a short amount of time, this storm expanded from its original 10-meter diameter to over 30 meters.

The rotation speed also increased by two or three times!

"Crackle!"

The power of lightning and black smoke intertwined, radiating destructive force.

It seemed that no matter what creature was swept in, it would suffer a dual blow from both black smoke and lightning!

Even Cao Xing felt a sense of threat from this storm.

After ten seconds had passed, this lightning storm gradually dissipated.

After watching the demonstration, Cao Xing exclaimed, "That's quite interesting…"

"Can the fusion of two shamans' skills produce such an effect?"

"In other words, skills between territory residents can fuse with each other. When different power systems collide, it creates a peculiar reaction that significantly strengthens the skill's power!"

"Can we add another element?"

Yes, since it is a Black Smoke Storm, how could it be missing the wind element?

Thinking of this, Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear.

"Allen, come to the center of the territory."

Hearing the order, the young mage, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

"I will be there immediately, respected Lord."

A minute or two later, Allen arrived by Cao Xing's side.

Cao Xing said, "In a moment, try this: after these two shamans finish releasing their skills, you release the high-level spell—Strangling Vortex—toward the same area."

Allen's gaze narrowed, and then he said solemnly, "I understand."

At Cao Xing's signal, the two shamans waited for their skill cooldowns to end and then released their skills again!

"Whoosh—crackle!"

A massive lightning storm appeared.

On the other side, Allen also raised his staff.

Intense wind elements condensed in his hands.

Instantly, a high-speed rotating and mobile wind element hurricane appeared!

Under Allen's control, this hurricane quickly moved toward the lightning storm!

The moment the two storms made contact.

It seemed that another peculiar reaction occurred.

That wind element hurricane directly swallowed the lightning storm!

No, or rather, it merged with it.

The moment the two storms merged, the rotation speed of the hurricane cluster instantly increased by more than ten times!

And the range also expanded significantly!

It surged directly to a diameter of 50 meters!

"So overpowered?" Cao Xing said in surprise.

Allen also said with a tone of surprise, "Lord… I think I can try to move this vortex."

Cao Xing immediately replied, "Good, go ahead and try."

After receiving Cao Xing's consent, Allen raised his staff.

"Whoosh, whoosh—"

The terrifying hurricane began to move following his thoughts; as it passed along the path, the immense wind force even tore up the ground!

The surrounding high-level residential houses were knocked askew by the wind.

Cao Xing had a sudden thought and summoned two Ice Element Spirits, then directly controlled them to rush into the storm cluster.

Instantly, six or seven damage numbers appeared above these Ice Element Spirits.

[- 18764 (Wind)]

[- 19456 (Lightning)]

[- 18676 (Smoke)]

[- 19457]

[- 20663]

[- 19869]

…

In just a few seconds, the two Ice Element Spirits summoned by Cao Xing had their HP reduced to zero, then turned into a pile of ice shavings.

After about 30 seconds, this storm completely dissipated.

"How freaking powerful! Taking damage from three elements in one second, totaling six hits!"

"This storm lasts over 30 seconds, which means it can deal up to 180 hits of damage. Who the heck can withstand this?"

Cao Xing was amazed!

And most importantly, this skill is mobile and comes with paralysis, control, and other effects.

"Awesome, another trump card has been developed!"

"Combined, these three skills probably have a lethality no less than a small-range Forbidden Spell!"

Including the other two shamans and the one mage, looks of astonishment also appeared on their faces!

It seemed they couldn't believe their spells had such great power.

And this also provided Cao Xing with a new train of thought.

Since skills between different elements can fuse, other skills should be able to fuse as well.

For example, a Water Mage's [Drizzle] combined with his own Ice Arrow Rain.

A Witch's Spirit Tide combined with the Demon Form's Life Wither, and so on?

If so, what kind of effects would that trigger?

It really makes one look forward to it!

Cao Xing decided to experiment again when there was an opportunity, so he said.

"Alright, you all go and rest."

"As you command, Lord!"

The two shamans and the one mage dispersed.

Cao Xing also called over two staff members and had them repair the ground that had been damaged by the spell experiments.

There was nothing else that night.

After absorbing a Magic Crystal in the Mage Tower, he returned to the Lords Manor to rest.

However, this time, he was cultivating in a meditation room with the Holy Light Priest, Isabelle.

When the three hours of meditation ended.

This clergy member, radiating a holy aura, collapsed on the floor, breathing like orchids.

The priest's robe on her body was half-unfastened.

That snow-white, off-the-shoulder neckline was extremely eye-catching.

It made one swallow hard.

Cao, that man, embraced this Holy Light Priest for a while, then quickly returned to the Lords Manor.

The next day…

As the system prompt for the third day of the development period sounded.

All Survivor lords woke up immediately and began their day's development.

This included Cao Xing as well.

He and Liu Muxue came outside the territory together.

He let them continue at yesterday's pace, each following the troops to go out and deal with those enhanced Ice Nest Monsters.

However, he and Liu Muxue didn't need to go out; they could just stay at home and earn experience.

Come to think of it, Cao Xing basically had nothing to do for the next two or three days.

Because he had to wait for Fitz Walker to gather resources and bring them over.

And he also had to wait for the witches to produce enough Holy Water before he could start dealing with the Ancient Battlefield.

After that, he would start preparing to deal with the first week's monster siege.

Once the monster siege was over, he could head to the Eternal Frost Main City.

So, for the near future, he should just focus on farming in the territory.

"Next, I'll go see how much alcohol the brewery has produced."

Soon, Cao Xing arrived at the advanced brewery area.

Pushing open the door, a wave of warmth mixed with a rich aroma of alcohol permeated the air; just taking one whiff made one feel a bit lightheaded.

Cao Xing took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It's the aroma of rum!"

"This scent, the quality must be excellent."

He had been in this world for three months already, and because he had come into contact with a lot of alcohol, Cao Xing now had a certain understanding of the quality of these spirits.

He patrolled through the spacious brewery; inside were various machines for brewing, arranged in different positions to form a production line.

Nearby, there were dozens of large wooden barrels neatly stacked together.

Those barrels were filled with the produced alcohol.

Cao Xing found Zelko behind a large pile of machines.

This old village chief greeted him.

"Good day, Lord."

Cao Xing asked, "Zelko, how has our alcohol production been during this period?"

Hearing the Lord asking about their work, the old village chief immediately straightened his expression.

Then he reported, "For over a month now, we have been brewing rum and Dream Demon Wine."

"Among them, we have brewed a total of 113 barrels of craft rum, which is 11,300 liters."

"The other Dream Demon Wine has a more complex production process, totaling 6 barrels, or 600 liters."

Hearing this number, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth again.

It didn't sound like much, but this was quite a fortune.

After all, those 113 barrels of [Craft Rum] alone, at a market price of 4,000 crowns per liter, were worth at least over 45 million crowns.

As for the Dream Demon Wine, although he didn't know the market price, it surely wouldn't be low.

After all, this was gold-quality alcohol, and the production was very low.

A conservative estimate would be no less than 80,000 crowns per liter.

In other words, just this forty days' worth of alcohol could bring Cao Xing at least 93 million in revenue!

It goes without saying how terrifying a number this is.

Of course, Cao Xing's territory couldn't maintain this production efficiency forever.

After all, the raw materials for brewing this alcohol are quite hard to get.

Especially one of the key materials—tree sap.

This tree sap can greatly enrich the taste of the alcohol and is the main difference between rum and craft rum.

Zelko also reported, "Lord, the current tree sap in the territory is only enough for about the next six days of production."

"What do you think…"

Cao Xing nodded, "I understand. You just continue producing the alcohol; I will figure out a way regarding the materials."

"Understood!" Zelko replied respectfully.

…
