233. Chapter 233 Open the portal, Witch Castle (6000)


Chapter 233 Open the portal, Witch Castle (6000)

"I'm going to be...so strong?"

After reading the attributes of this pistol, Cao Xing's eyes were filled with shock.

Every special effect above is extremely terrifying, and combined with the over 900 attack power, it is much more powerful than Barrett.

The most important thing is that its attack speed is short.

Cao Xing even wanted to keep it for himself!
However, although this pistol is powerful, it also consumes a lot of money.

Shooting a few shots will consume one [Elementary Mana Crystal].

And Cao Xing glanced at his backpack.

[Elementary Magic Crystal*832]

[Intermediate magic crystal*261]

[Advanced Magic Crystal*31]

There are quite a lot of primary + intermediate magic crystals.

There are more than a thousand in total.

It was enough for him to squander.

However, Cao Xing decided to give the pistol to Tong Chuchu.

After all, mechanics have the [Basic Firearms Proficiency] skill, which can increase hit rate and attack power.

Coupled with the skill [Mechanical Energy Saving], less magic energy will be consumed.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing already had candidates assigned to these two pieces of equipment.

Then he looked at the time.

It's already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's almost time to go."

"It will take a while to get to the Witch Forest from here. When we reach the depths, it happens to be nightfall."

So, Cao Xing shouted again.

"Combatants, assemble!"

In an instant, more than two hundred combatants came over in a hurry.

When they heard Cao Xing calling them, everyone knew that there was a mission tonight.

Everyone has a look of expectation in their eyes, hoping that their lord can take them with him.

This is not only an honor, but also a recognition of their strength.

Then, Cao Xing began to call the names.

"Assam, Andrew, Jonard..."

As Cao Xing called the names of more than a dozen people in succession,

The personnel were still the same as last time, including the nightmare archers, who were also brought along by Cao Xing.

After all, they have the talent to seal enemy skills, which is pretty good.

At this time, Cao Xing suddenly slapped his head, as if he remembered something.

"I'm going, I forgot that there are more than 20 archer recruitment scrolls in my backpack!"

"Forget it, let's wait until we come back before summoning."

Shaked his head.

Everyone is ready to go!

In addition to the personnel from the last time, Cao Xing also brought two centaurs, Kantor and Kandar.

He had a hunch that the enemy he would face in the Witch's Castle this time might be very powerful.

After all, the fairy tale told by the old witch alone contained at least three terrifying monsters.

Plus there's a mysterious witch...

Therefore, Cao Xing also took away as many troops as possible while ensuring the security of his territory.

When the two centaurs heard the news that Cao Xing was taking them out, they happily raised their blunt weapons and kept waving them.

"Oh! The strong Lord is finally going to take us out to fight, great!"

"Haha, Kandar, we must perform well!"

"That's right! We have to perform well and let the lord see the strong figure of the centaur!"

Seeing their happy faces, those combatants left in the territory by Cao Xing were filled with envy.

Even Ilena looked at Cao Xing with some resentment.

Of course, she also knew she needed to stay in the territory.

After all, there is another hidden danger in the territory, that peasant woman ‘Mbo’.

If the other party breaks out suddenly, with Ilena's strength, she may not be able to stop her.

However, there are still many strong men in his territory.

Those dragon-blooded female warriors, as well as Sylvia and Ellie, they are also boss-level creatures now.

At that time, once Mpo's escape is discovered, a large number of soldiers will rush out, and with their ejection hooks, it will be enough to control the commander-level existence.

Therefore, Cao Xing is not too worried.

At this moment, except for the people he named, the other combatants dispersed.

And Cao Xing also handed over the [Evil Eye Shield (gold)] in his hand to Bronn.

Then he handed the [Super Pistol (Gold)] to Tong Chuchu.

At this moment, Bronn replaced his giant blue shield and held the shield, which was about one and a half meters tall and exuded an evil aura, and was very excited.

He had no objection to the appearance of the shield.

For him, equipment is for people to use, no matter how it looks, as long as it is powerful enough.

Bronn said excitedly: "Aha, what a thick shield!"

"Bron feels full of power!"

Little Chuchu next to her was also holding this small-looking, but full of lethal pistol in her hand, with stars popping out of her little eyes!

"Wow! What a beautiful pistol!"

"Great, this way, I can blow out those monsters' eyeballs with one shot!"

Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

Obviously, Tong Chuchu was a little led by him after the previous battle...

Such a young child could actually say such words with such innocence.

Cao Xing secretly decided that he would have the opportunity to let Xia Yanni educate Xiao Chuchu.

But now, the most important thing is for her to become stronger as soon as possible and have the ability to survive in this world.

Everything is ready.

So, Cao Xing said directly: "Everyone, let's go!"

Dabai flicked his trunk again and led everyone to run wildly outside the territory.

Compared to rushing back from the Witch Forest two days ago.

Cao Xing's strength has been greatly improved again!
“Boom! Boom!”

Baymax and Wally, the two giant beasts, walked in front of the team.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they quickly left the territory.

Ten minutes later, they had left the territory for almost 20 kilometers.

The snow on the ground is very thick, more than one meter deep.

No wonder Hilton's motorcade got stuck in it.

Fortunately, Baymax is big enough.

Every step it takes will create a huge pit in the ground.

Then it used its huge size to forcefully clear a way out.

Almost equivalent to a large snowplow.

The others followed Dabai, and the journey was smooth.

The snow on the ground had no impact on their actions at all.

Mammoths do not move very fast, maintaining a speed of about 80 kilometers per hour.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, on the other hand, sat firmly on it and looked at the scenery around them.

After the snowstorm, there was almost no biological activity.

There was a vast expanse of sight, as if the whole world had fallen silent.

At this moment, Cao Xing seemed to see a survivor's territory in the snow in the distance.

A group of polar people are working intensively to repair the damaged buildings in their territory.

Including the survivors inside, they are also collecting various resources.

Cao Xing did not go over, but continued to move forward with Dabai.

Two hours later.

At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Xing and others arrived at the edge of the familiar Witch Forest.

The two centaurs had excited looks on their faces because it was their first time here.

Kandar said excitedly: "Oh! This forest is so big!"

"Haha, we like the forest. In the forest, even the black bears can't catch up with us centaurs!"

"Centaurs are the warriors of the forest!"

After hearing this, Rab next to him also became interested and said: "Oh! The two centaur warriors really see the same thing!"

"We wild boar warriors are also warriors in the jungle, and we are best at fighting in the jungle!"

Upon hearing this, Kantor turned his attention to Rab.

"Oh? This wild boar warrior looks really strong. Do you want to come over and discuss fighting skills in the jungle with us?"

"With pleasure!"

After saying that, Rab came closer to the two centaurs.

These three brain circuits are very direct, and we soon started talking happily.

Cao Xing smiled, looked at the sky, and then said: "Now we are going to enter the forest."

"Let's not delay on the way and head straight to the deepest point."

"I think we can enter the castle before dark."

After hearing Cao Xing's order, everyone nodded.

Then, he began to travel through this huge forest.

Dabai and Volibear's momentum was as strong as ever, breaking many big trees along the way and leading everyone to run at high speeds.

What surprised Cao Xing was that Labu communicated with the centaur along the way.

He was actually invited by them to sit on his back.

This wild boar warrior rode a centaur, held up his two swords, and kept making strange sounds from his mouth.

"Warrior Cantor, you run so fast. You are worthy of being a centaur. You are very strong!"

The centaur also said excitedly: "Warrior Rab, your swords are so sharp!"

"We must join forces!"

Rab said excitedly: "Haha! That's right. Together we can definitely become the strongest jungle warrior!"

After saying that, the centaur took Labu and ran wildly.

"Bahhhh!"

The crisp sound of centaur's hoofbeats sounded.

The vines, branches and other obstacles encountered along the way were either cut off by Rab's double knives or shattered by the blunt instrument in Kantor's hand.

Seeing this scene, everyone had strange expressions on their faces.

It seems unexpected that these two arms can be combined together.

And it seems that the power exerted is quite good.

This also made Cao Xing have different thoughts in his mind.

Obviously, letting the wild boar warriors cooperate with the centaurs seems to be able to exert the effect of the cavalry.

The lethality is not much higher than that of ordinary knights.

In the future, more different types of troops will appear in his territory.

If these arms can be coordinated, sometimes unexpected results will be produced.

Cao Xing's thoughts suddenly became more active.

However, this is just the beginning of an idea.

The details still need to be practiced, and there are not many types of soldiers in his territory.

"Now, let's just concentrate on our journey. I hope we can reach the castle before dark."

Fifty minutes later.

Cao Xing and others finally reached the deepest part of the forest and saw the familiar castle shrouded in a barrier.

He glanced at the time.

[Distance to nightfall: 24 minutes and 31 seconds...]

Cao Xing nodded secretly, "Not bad, we finally arrived before dark."

At this moment, the entire Witch Forest is deep and dark.

This also means that night is coming soon.

Then, under the leadership of Cao Xing, they came to the barrier of the Witch Castle again.

An invisible wall blocked everyone's way.

The two centaurs tried to hit the barrier with the blunt instruments in their hands, but found that it had no effect other than stimulating a ripple of energy.

They didn't seem to believe in evil, so they picked up their weapons and struck a few more times.

But obviously, no harm was done.

Bronn smiled and said: "Kantel, Kandar, there is no need to try. This is a powerful barrier that cannot be broken by ordinary means!"

The two centaurs smiled sheepishly: "That's it."

"Then how do we get in?"

Bronn laughed and said, "The Lord will find a way."

Cao Xing did not speak, but took out the black crystal ball under the gaze of everyone.

At this moment, this black crystal ball exudes a faint black aura.

It may seem ordinary, but it can open a portal and help them pass through the castle. However, this thing requires a special spell.

There is a record on the black crystal ball.

So Cao Xing began to sing.

"..."

"..."

"!"

The words fell...

In front of Cao Xing, a huge portal that was completely dark and about six meters high appeared.

And four meters in front of him, another portal appeared.

The two portals have exactly the same appearance, with a black energy vortex in the middle.

Cao Xing could vaguely feel that there was a space force connecting them.

The two centaurs were surprised: "Father Modir, this is actually a portal!"

"So that's it, the strong lord is really capable of anything!"

Cao Xing smiled, he was just about to be the first to step into the portal.

At this time, Assam said: "Lord, let me try it first."

After hearing this, Cao Xing thought for a moment and then nodded.

Although the information on the [Black Crystal Ball] does not say there will be any probability of transmission failure or unexpected situations.

But after all, it involves something as profound as space teleportation.

Before verification.

No one can guarantee that after stepping into this portal, they will be able to reach the other end of the portal safely.

If they are not careful, they may be transported to an unknown place.

Therefore, Assam was the first to enter the portal and was taking a huge risk.

At this moment, he pulled out his long sword and firmly approached the dark portal outside the barrier.

Then step in.

When everyone saw Assam's figure disappearing into the black vortex.

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But fortunately, the portal constructed by this crystal ball is quite stable.

Soon, Assam's figure appeared on the opposite side.

A look of relief suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.

Then, Braun raised the evil eye shield and said, "Aha! It's my turn next!"

After getting Cao Xing's signal, Bron held up his shield and rushed in directly.

Soon, he successfully appeared on the other side of the portal.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt more at ease.

After that, it was Liu Muxue and Cao Xing.

Cao Xing came to the gate, looked at the whirlpool in front of him, and felt a sense of dizziness.

Without thinking much, he stepped in.

The moment he stepped into the portal, his vision began to change.

It's like entering some kind of time and space tunnel.

After a while, the world was spinning.

Cao Xing has appeared inside the barrier of the Witch Castle.

Looking at the barrier behind him, Cao Xing nodded.

"It's okay. This portal is quite stable."

Then, he continued: "Please hurry up and come here."

Because the portal only lasts 60 seconds.

Next time you turn it on, you need to wait 7 days.

Fortunately, this barrier is one-way. You can leave at any time, but you cannot come in.

Cao Xing didn't know what the principle was.

After hearing this, everyone began to file in.

Isabel, Hilda, Elisa...

A group of nearly 20 people all got in.

Including Dabai and Volibear, they also got in quickly.

At the same time, the portal's duration ends and disappears.

Cao Xing led a group of people and began to slowly approach the wall of the Witch Castle.

Everyone looked at the six-meter-high city wall in front of them, covered with mottled marks.

Obviously, this cannot stop them.

You know, even Dabai is five or six meters tall.

They can easily cross over.

Soon, the group climbed over the city wall and arrived inside the castle.

A system prompt appears.

[You have entered a special area: the forest witch's castle...]

[Please note: This area will undergo some changes in 15 minutes. 】

"Plop."

Cao Xing jumped down from the city wall.

After landing, he began to quickly observe his surroundings.

Including other people, with curious expressions in their eyes, they began to look around.

He discovered that the location where they landed now was near the courtyard in the castle.

The ground is covered with weeds.

There are several tall towers next to it, as well as several one-story stone houses.

However, the inside of the castle seemed extremely deserted, with no movement at all and it was unusually quiet.

"Sure enough, as the old witch said, the castle will only show its original appearance at night?"

"There are still 15 minutes until nightfall. Let's see if we can explore anything first."

So, Cao Xing aimed at one of the three-story towers and ordered: "Let's go over there."

Soon, they stepped on the weeds that were up to their heels and arrived near the tower.

In front of him, a black iron door appeared.

[Tower Gate]

[Armor: 200]

[Durability value: 2000]

[Attached with special effects: none]

Just an ordinary iron door.

Cao Xing asked Assam to chop it open with two swords.

Then, everyone entered the tower in an orderly manner.

However, because Dabai was so big, he had to leave it at the door first.

As soon as they entered the tower, a rotten atmosphere hit them.

It seems to be the smell of some rotten wood.

Looking around, it's very messy inside, with a few wooden tables and small benches, and messy shelves along the walls.

There are some empty weapon racks nearby.

It doesn’t look like there’s much to gain.

Cao Xing said: "Search and see if there are any hidden areas or basements."

After hearing this, everyone took action.

"Crash..."

The entire first floor of the tower was quickly turned upside down by them.

However, apart from some smelly debris, there were only a few dead rats.

At this moment, Elisa, who was carrying a big bow, suddenly said: "Lord, look, I found something good!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing immediately looked away, "What good thing?"

"Dang Dang Dang! A treasure chest!"

As Elisa moved away, a silver treasure chest appeared behind her.

Cao Xing also had a look of joy in his eyes when he saw this.

"Okay, okay, well done, Elisa!"

After saying that, he walked straight to the treasure chest.

A system prompt appears.

[I found an unlocked silver treasure chest. Do you want to open it? 】

"Turn on."

[Open successfully. 】

[Obtain: Intermediate sentry tower construction drawings]

[Obtain: Purification Amulet (Purple)]

[Obtain: Fine Iron*5]

[Obtain: Medium Resource Pack*3]

[Obtain: Tamera Barley Wine*3]

[Obtain: Medium Agility Book*1]

"Oh, there is actually an intermediate sentry tower blueprint and a piece of purple equipment?"

Cao Xing took a look at the properties of the drawing.

[Intermediate sentry tower construction drawings]

[Introduction to the drawings: The primary sentry tower in the territory can be upgraded. The intermediate sentry tower has better vision and can accommodate more guards]

[Armor: 150 points]

[Durability value: 4500/4500]

[Occupied area: 32 square meters]

[Building height: 20 meters]

[Guard personnel: 0/4]

[Materials required for construction: primary sentry tower*1, wood*500, stone*300, iron*100, copper*20, intermediate element crystal*10]

[Construction time: 12 hours and 53 minutes]

"Yes, it just so happens that the primary towers in my territory are about to be upgraded."

"The upgraded sentry tower is not so easily blown down by strong winds."

Then, he looked at the properties of that piece of equipment.

[Purification Talisman (Purple)]

[Equipment Part: Necklace]

[Quality: Rare]

[Wearing requirements: Level 40]

[Attributes: Spirit +160, Physique +130, Casting Speed ​​+15%]

[With special effects: abnormality suppression (when receiving damage from abnormal conditions (bleeding, poisoning, loss of life, etc..., reduce the loss of health per second by 20%)]]

[Attached special effect: Power of purification (when attacked by abnormal status, immune to this damage, can take effect once in 120 seconds.)]

(Equipment introduction: A necklace with a sacred atmosphere, with a blessing from a priest...)

"Is it for equipment with negative status?"

"The attributes are pretty good, I should be able to use them at some point."

But unfortunately, this is a level 40 piece of equipment.

In a short period of time, no one should be able to equip it.

Cao Xing also put all these things into his backpack.

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect to find a silver treasure chest just after entering a tower."

"And this is only one layer, the second and third layers have not yet been explored."

"There are many more towers like this in this castle, so there should be a lot of gains."

Cao Xing, who had tasted the sweetness, was about to take people to the second floor to search.

However, as night fell, the sky became completely dark.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have a strange feeling.

It was as if the entire castle had come alive.

They heard a rustling sound.

It sounded like insects crawling, or like a group of creatures waking up from the ground...

at the same time.

A faint blue light lit up inside the castle.

"Keng! Keng Keng!"

The weapon began to vibrate.

Then, in the area on the second floor, Cao Xing and others heard some angry voices.

"I sensed the presence of a living person in this castle, right below us!"
