Chapter 396: Army of the Undead, new pet: Chicken King! (5800)
"I haven't thought of a specific plan of action yet. I'll come back to you after I investigate clearly next time and think of a plan of action."
Duke Palatine looked serious, then nodded solemnly and said: "I understand, Lord Cao Xing."
"During this period, I will restore more strength as soon as possible and recruit more undead!"
"If you need anything, you can come to me at any time in the underground palace."
"If you can really allow us to survive the impact of the Blood Army and build a powerful Undead Army."
"Then, I, Paladin, hereby swear that I will lead all the undead of Ascalon to fight for you to the end!"
After hearing the last promise, Cao Xing also straightened up.
He solemnly said: "Okay! Your Excellency Palatine, I believe in your promise."
"Then now, let's leave first."
Paladin nodded heavily.
After saying that, Cao Xing turned around and left the palace with Rhaenys, Sarah, and Robin.
Then he came to Yongwang Hall in a familiar way and walked towards the tunnel.
…
…
And after Cao Xing and the others left.
Duke Palatine had a solemn look in his eyes.
He held the big sword in his hand tightly and said solemnly: "I didn't expect that after nearly a thousand years... the Blood Legion would appear again."
"This time, I will definitely stop you!"
After saying this, he waved his hand and put away all the remaining items in the treasure house.
Then he quickly came to the Hall of Eternal Hope and summoned all the undead.
More than four thousand undead wearing armor were floating in mid-air, waiting for the Duke's orders in unison.
Duke Palatine declared: "Gentlemen, we can no longer develop as we are now."
"In the near future, there may be a war sweeping the continent!"
"The enemy is the Blood Legion!"
Upon hearing this, the auras of all the undead on the field suddenly rose.
As if a basin of cold water was poured into a pan of oil, the blue aura of the undead kept boiling!
"Damn! Is it them?"
"Are these guys going to show up again?"
"Kill all these guys!"
Duke Palatine continued: "Everyone should know that the Blood Legion is extremely powerful, and our current strength cannot compete at all!"
"We need to have more power!"
"Then now, all undead take action."
"Divide into teams of a hundred undead and go to other Ascalon ruins to bring back all the undead."
At this time, he seemed to remember something and continued: "In addition, if you see other undead souls that are not ours in Ascalon, bring them over."
On the field, thousands of undead warriors looked at each other and then nodded solemnly.
"Yes! Your Majesty the Duke!"
…
…
"Moo..."
Dabai's call sounded.
Cao Xing, who had just walked out of the passage, appeared in the familiar forest.
Looking over, I found that the big white elephant's hooves were clinging to the ground, and its limbs were standing tensely on the spot.
Around its body, there are many blue will-o'-the-wisps floating around.
These will-o'-the-wisps kept rising and falling around Dabai, floating around.
As if Dabai didn't dare to come into contact with these will-o'-the-wisps, he stood frozen in place, not daring to move.
This made Cao Xing laugh a little.
Unexpectedly, this big guy is actually afraid of these will-o'-wisps.
When he came to Dabai's side, the will-o'-the-wisps dispersed automatically.
This also gradually relaxed Dabai's tense muscles.
Cao Xing patted its elephant hoof, and Dabai lowered his head, seemingly enjoying the owner's touch.
Then, Cao Xing turned over and rode on the mammoth, "Let's go back."
The group of people quickly walked in the direction they came from.
However, on the way, Cao Xing did not let Robin sit on the sled, but let him sit behind him.
The huge mammoth took Cao Xing and ran wildly in the snowy field.
On the way, Cao Xing looked at the young man behind him and said.
"Robin, you helped me a lot this time."
"Then in return, I can give you a reward."
After hearing this, Robin behind him said humbly: "Cao...Master Cao Xing, you don't need to give me any reward."
"Her Royal Highness Marita has promised me to make me a real knight when I return..."
"She has already given me a reward."
However, Cao Xing laughed a little.
For ordinary people, becoming a knight is already a great honor.
This also means that they will have the opportunity to enter the aristocratic class, which is an opportunity to change their destiny.
Cao Xing said directly: "Two million crowns, or you can transform into a boss. It's your choice."
Compared to the benefits Robin brought to himself, this was nothing.
However, after hearing Cao Xing's conditions, Robin's pupils widened in the back!
Two million crowns would allow his family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Even the supplements he usually uses to improve his physical fitness can be purchased in large quantities.
Not to mention other boss-level opportunities.
Becoming the leader means that he has greater potential.
In the future, he may become a knight captain in the Orchid Kingdom!
In this way, he can give his family a better life.
For him, no matter what kind of reward it is, it is an amazing opportunity!
The boy's breathing was slightly rapid.
He also wanted to be modest.
But Cao Xing said: "If you don't choose, you will really be gone."
After hearing this, Robin quickly said: "Sir...then I choose to be the leader..."
Cao Xing also laughed.
Then, he took out a boss-level soul directly from his backpack and threw it over.
"Use it, this thing can make your potential breakthrough again."
The young man took over the bright soul with excitement on his face.
He could feel the powerful power contained in it.
He also knows how to use this thing.
Then he shot the soul directly into his body.
As the breath on his body continued to rise.
This also means that Robin's breakthrough was quite smooth.
It worked the first time.
Robin said with gratitude: "I succeeded, thank you sir!"
Cao Xing waved his hand, "Nothing, just take what you need."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mammoth led him towards the territory.
But in the Ascalon Underground Palace, groups of undead walked out.
They wore uniform battle armor and were divided into teams of one hundred undead.
They began to scatter and move quickly in the snowfield.
On this day, many survivors, including the aborigines, saw a large number of undead bodies floating in the vast snowfield, moving extremely fast.
Everyone subconsciously retreated and did not provoke him.
After all, the aura of these undead is still very terrifying.
…
…
An hour later, they had returned to the territory.
Cao Xing looked at the time, it was eleven o'clock in the morning.
In other words, it only took him about five hours to come and go.
He glanced at the accumulated points ranking list again.
【Points ranking list of four major regions】
[First place: Cao Xing (accumulated points 331152)]
[Second place: Angelica dahurica (accumulated points 25249)]
[Third place: Bolt (accumulated points 24198)]
[Fourth place: Wei Jianyi (accumulated points 23774)]
【Fifth place...】
…
At the end of yesterday, his accumulated points were more than 250,000.
Today it has become 330,000.
In other words, during the five hours he was away, Liu Muxue and Assam led their soldiers and earned themselves 80,000 points!
Cao Xing said happily: "This efficiency is even higher than yesterday."
“There are still 6 hours until the end of the challenge, which means that at the current rate, the minimum guaranteed points are 160,000 points.”
"Coupled with the guarantee of 20,000 from Zhuoma Behemoth, I can get at least 180,000 points today!"
This number is even more than yesterday.
After all, he summoned 100 wind mage apprentices last night.
The speed of clearing monsters has been increased again.
It can be said that under the challenge of 'Dolma's Claw', Cao Xing's strength is improving every day.
And not just him, but other survivors as well.
It can be seen from the current points ranking list.
The speed at which other people earn points every day is also getting faster day by day.
Cao Xing nodded slightly, "It seems that after the ten-day challenge is over, most of the lords should have the prototype of their own legion system."
"Then it's time to pick up the large copy - Oracle War."
"This lord system really arranges things for us clearly."
Of course, this is also a good thing for them survivors.
Every time the system launches a challenge, it is accompanied by dangers and amazing opportunities.
Only by overcoming the dangers and seizing the opportunities in one challenge after another will you be able to soar into the sky!
Of course, Cao Xing doesn't need to take risks.
After all, his strength is much higher than others.
From now on, it can be seen that he can get more than ten times the points of others while lying at home.
With such crushing strength, these challenges arranged by the lord system are not dangerous to him.
This is also the development model Cao has always wanted.
The early adventures and constant battles are all for the sake of a comfortable life later.
Who wants to fight tooth and nail when you can enjoy a good life?
He smiled and shook his head.
After thinking about it, he had arrived at the buffer zone of the territory.
Cao Xing saw that the villagers of Puteng Village were already cultivating fertile land.
More than a hundred figures, holding hoes or other tools in their hands, bent over and working hard.
Judging from this progress, the fertile land for growing grapes and berries will be cultivated almost today.
Then cover the greenhouse and start planting.
Cao Xing thought: "According to estimates, this batch of agate grapes and silver dew berries will take four to six months to grow."
"It will take more than two months to accelerate the growth of the Pale Tree by 44%."
"The upper limit of the Pale Tree's acceleration is 50%, and the upper limit of the life bonus is 100%. In other words, the Pale Tree still has a lot of room for growth."
"It seems that we will have to find some ways to get some props in the near future to speed up the growth of the Pale Tree."
at the same time.
A petite figure, wearing a white cotton coat and carrying a war bow on his back, trotted to Cao Xing's side.
Before anyone arrived, a crisp call was heard.
"Lord, Lord!" Cao Xing looked over and saw that it was Elisa.
She came to Cao Xing and said with joy on her face: "Lord, you are back!"
Cao Xing looked at her with some confusion, "Elisa, why did you come back to the territory?"
"Aren't you fighting with my wife?"
Elisa immediately replied: "Yes, but something happened in the territory, I will be back!"
"However, I have the approval of the lord's wife!"
Cao Xing chuckled and nodded.
He didn't blame the little girl.
After all, Liu Muxue's side already had sufficient combat power. If she was one more or one less, the difference would not be big.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Elisa replied: "It's those bare-feathered chickens!"
"My father said that a strange chick hatched out of these bare-feathered chickens."
"The whole chicken flock is restless, and the cowshed is about to be demolished by them!"
"Let me come back and have a look, so I ran back quickly!"
The little girl seemed very excited.
Cao Xing also remembered something.
It has been almost 10 days since the flock of bare-feathered chickens came to the territory.
Under the 24-hour holy light, the growth rate has also been greatly accelerated.
So the first chicks have hatched.
Cao Xing nodded, and then said: "I'll go and see with you."
Then, he looked at the people next to him.
"Go down and rest Robin."
The young man said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Cao Xing."
Cao Xing quickly jumped off Dabai.
Then he and Elisa walked towards the bullpen.
At this time, Old Mel and Sihua were already waiting here.
After seeing Cao Xing coming, Lao Meier and Sihua had a flash of surprise on their faces, but they immediately said respectfully.
"Lord, I wish you well."
Cao Xing waved his hand, "Mr. Meier, I already know the situation."
"Open the bullpen and let's go take a look together."
Old Mel nodded solemnly: "Okay."
"But Lord, please be careful, the group of bare-feathered chickens are in a crazy state at this time."
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
He also raised his staff, ready to prevent the group of feathered chickens from escaping.
"Crunch——"
As the bullpen door opens.
An unexpected scene appeared in front of Cao Xing.
I originally thought there would be chaos inside, with chickens flying around.
It turned out to be quite quiet.
The group of violent bare-feathered chickens were all huddled in a corner, joining together to keep warm
They seemed to have seen something terrifying, looking in one direction in the bullpen with frightened eyes.
Cao Xing frowned.
Following their gaze, in one of the cattle pens filled with hay, I saw a chick slapped by an adult.
Although it has no hair on its body, it is constantly emitting bursts of holy light power.
This power of holy light contains an inexplicable pressure, which is why those light-feathered chickens are afraid.
Old Mel was surprised and said: "Oh my God, I just saw this chicken hatched half an hour ago. How did it grow so big in the blink of an eye?"
Cao Xing also felt that this chick was a little weird.
His eyes glanced over.
【Bare Feather Chicken (young stage)】
【Level: Level 1】
[Attribute: None]
[Skill: None]
[Talent 1: Growth and Purification (a special light-feathered chicken will increase the power of purification in the body as its potential and strength increase)]
【Talent 2: Nature】
…
Cao Xing wondered: "Oh? A light-feathered chicken that is born with growth and purification?"
"As the strength increases, will the purification power in the body increase?"
You know, although other light-feathered chickens also have purification talents, they are all fixed.
Even those adult light-feathered chickens can only purify some ordinary curses.
Cao Xing became interested.
However, when he approached, the chick held its head high, calmly took a few steps back, and flapped its wings.
A breeze that could blow an ordinary person down came.
"It's interesting that such a small chicken can actually launch such a level of attack."
But for Cao Xing, this wind power is not enough.
He simply ignored it and moved forward.
At this moment, when the bare-feathered chicken saw him approaching, a trace of disdain flashed in its eyes.
It flapped its bare wings as if it wanted to fly and escape.
However, Cao Xing grabbed it by the neck.
"Giggle~Giggle~"
This little chicken didn't seem to expect that Cao Xing would attack him directly, and the disdain in his eyes turned into panic.
It continued to emit the power of holy light, seeming to want to break free from his hands.
These powers of holy light bring a certain amount of damage.
Cao Xing suffered pitiful damage of -5 and -5 one after another.
He smiled and allowed the chick to attack.
Just when the chick was still resisting crazily.
He took out a tree heart from his backpack.
Just smash it into pieces and pour pure life force into its mouth.
In an instant, the chick closed its mouth.
Then he stopped resisting.
And its size also began to increase at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it became the size of an adult's head, and its body was also covered with a layer of soft feathers.
Seeing this scene, Elisa and others nearby were surprised.
"Wow...it's so amazing. This little chicken has grown up so much all of a sudden."
However, although this bare-feathered chicken has grown a lot, Cao Xing feels a little strange.
After all, this kind of life tree heart can accelerate the growth cycle for half a year. If it were replaced by other light-feathered chickens, they would have reached adulthood by this time.
But this chick still maintains its juvenile form, but is slightly larger.
This also reminded Cao Xing of something.
"I remember...it seemed to be the same when I was feeding little Wally."
"Could it be that the potential of this bare-feathered chicken is about the same as that of little Wally?"
At this moment, the bare-feathered chicken no longer struggled, but looked at Cao Xing expectantly, as if it wanted to taste the heart of the Tree of Life.
Cao Xing smiled, then took one out of his backpack.
"Want to eat?"
This bare-feathered chicken nodded its head as if it could understand human speech.
But Cao Xing said: "If you want to eat, you have to sign a contract with me."
"Giggle?"
The light-feathered chicken was puzzled.
The next moment, Cao Xing took out a high-level pet contract scroll.
[Should I use advanced pet contracts for bare-feathered chickens (infant stage)? 】
'yes'.
At the same time, this light-feathered chicken also felt a powerful consciousness pouring into its mind, as if it wanted to contract with itself.
It instinctively wants to refuse.
However, the heart of the tree of life in Cao Xing's hand exudes infinite magic power, tempting himself.
Gritting his teeth, the bare-feathered chicken agreed.
[The signing is successful, the light-feathered chicken (infant stage) has become your pet, and the territory population +3...]
Cao Xing was happy, but he didn't expect that one chicken accounted for three of his population.
"Could this be the legendary Chicken King?"
He shook his head. Since this bare-feathered chicken has become his pet, he can naturally spend his resources on it with confidence.
So, Cao Xing took out seven or eight Tree of Life Hearts in one go.
Both blue quality and purple quality are available.
This is also the few remaining life tree cores in his backpack.
At this time, after seeing so many Life Tree Hearts in Cao Xing's hands, the Guangyu Chicken's eyes suddenly widened!
Looking at him longingly.
Cao Xing did not whet its appetite.
He directly broke the heart of the tree and fed it to the chicken one by one...
"Click! Click!"
As the cracking sound continued.
The light-feathered chicken continues to absorb a large amount of vitality, and its size is also increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Old Mel next to him stared at this scene with wide eyes.
Elisa whispered: "Wow... the lord is performing evil witchcraft on this chick, so scary!"
Cao Xing rolled his eyes at her.
At the same time, when this light-feathered chicken swallowed the second purple heart of the tree of life, it had grown to half a meter tall!
It's a real big chicken!
A system prompt appears.
[Your pet: The light-feathered chicken has passed its juvenile stage and has now entered adulthood. 】
Cao Xing was happy and said happily: "If you smash seven of them, you will become an adult, haha."
He didn't have the purple-quality Life Tree Heart in his hand, otherwise he could have accelerated the chicken a little further.
Glanced at its properties.
[Cao Xing’s pet: Light Feather Chicken]
[Level: 12 (second-level boss-level creature)]
[HP: 14788/14788 (blessed by the Pale Tree)]
[Attack power: 723~744]
[Attributes: Strength 312, Agility 335, Spirit 412, Constitution 327]
[Skills: Peck, tearing claw strike, light feather protection
Feather of Light (Fly into the sky, control feathers, cause continuous penetrating damage to enemies 10 meters*10 meters below, damage coefficient is 3*87%, cooling time: 170 seconds)]
(Note: As this skill grows, the damage coefficient and killing range will gradually increase.)
[Talent: Growth and Purification (can continuously increase the power of purification in the body as the level and potential increase.
Currently immune to all negative conditions below expert level, including bleeding, poisoning, curses, etc...)]
【Talent 2: Nature】
【Satiety: 95】
【Loyalty: 82】
…
Cao Xing was slightly shocked.
"Oh? He was actually born as a boss-level creature, and at level 12 he is immune to negative effects below expert level."
"If I upgrade it to a few more levels, or raise its potential to the level of a leader, will this bare-feathered chicken be invulnerable to all poisons?"
