Chapter 245: Reach the top floor and loot the castle! (6000)
"The ancestral totem is the source of our Thrall's power."
"All Black Smoke Shamans will communicate with the ancestral totems and gain different abilities when they break through to the boss."
"And this time, the person I communicated with was this heroic spirit."
After listening to Blot's explanation, Cao Xing also nodded suddenly.
Obviously, Brot's transformation is different from other black smoke shamans.
The skills he acquired this time are much more powerful!
After all, this summoned is a commander-level creature.
This can be seen from the attributes of Victoria, the fourth-level commander in the territory.
How powerful a creature of this level is!
Obviously, this skill is beyond imagination!
Cao Xing was also very satisfied.
The next step is to find the passage to the top.
Cao Xing ordered: "Go search around and find a way to enter the top floor."
After receiving the order, everyone quickly dispersed.
Including Cao Xing himself, he was also wandering around on the third floor of the castle.
The castle has a lot of space.
Cao Xing searched for several minutes, but couldn't find any special place or passage.
There is little to be gained by including others.
But Cao Xing was not discouraged.
Because it doesn’t matter if you can’t find it.
At worst, he goes directly to the window, uses the [ejection hook], and then climbs up along the hook.
He must see this witch today!
At this moment, a beautiful figure walked quickly towards him.
Eight slender legs moved gracefully on the floor.
The upper body is a female body with a devilish figure.
It was Hilda.
"What's the matter? Hilda."
Hilda raised her chin slightly and said with a touch of arrogance in her eyes: "Do you want a treasure chest?"
After hearing this, Cao Xing seemed to realize something, "Of course I want it!"
The corners of Hilda's mouth curved.
"Hey! Come with me. This time, I found it alone."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards a corner on the third floor of the castle.
Cao Xing also followed behind her.
Soon, the two found a pile of debris in the corner.
Under the pile of debris, Cao Xing saw a corner of the golden box.
"I'll go! Another golden treasure chest!"
He was amazed.
After all, this is the second golden treasure chest he has found since entering this castle!
Sure enough, the profits from high-level maps like land reclamation are high!
This also made Cao Xing look forward to finding something on the top floor of the Witch Castle.
"Hilda, you did a good job!"
The Blood Spider Queen in front of her said disdainfully: "I just found it randomly. Seeing that you like the treasure chest so much, I will be merciful and help you find it."
Cao Xing laughed, but he didn't care.
Anyway, he was already familiar with the temperament of this Blood Spider Queen.
When I got closer to take a look, a system prompt appeared.
[I found a gold treasure chest that has been sealed for a long time. Do you want to open it? 】
"yes."
[Open successfully. 】
[Obtain: Intermediate Machinery Factory Drawing*1]
[Obtain: Ring of the Evil Spirit (gold)*1]
[Obtain: Magic Stone*6]
[Obtain: Eternal Gold Ingot*7]
[Obtain: Expert-level element crystal*2]
…
"Haha, it's actually an intermediate mechanical factory drawing!"
Cao Xing exclaimed when he saw the system prompt.
At the same time, a look of ecstasy instantly appeared on his face.
Because this drawing is one of the things Cao Xing urgently needs right now.
After having an intermediate mechanical factory, he can make a transport vehicle to mine resources further away.
You can also make arc stars, small combat drones, etc. to conduct modern warfare and so on.
That’s great!
At this time, another ring appeared in Cao Xing's hand.
The ring is dark purple in color and looks like metal, but more like crystal.
I looked at the properties.
[Ring of the Evil Spirit (Gold)]
[Quality: Treasure]
[Equipment Level: Level 30]
[With special effects ①: Spirit +120, Agility +80]
[Included special effects ②: Spirit possession (increases the abnormal status bonus rate by 15%, including bleeding, poisoning, frostbite, etc...)]
[With special effects ③: Evil Spirit (increases abnormal damage by 15%, including corrosion, life loss, etc...)]
(Equipment introduction: A lost ring, its former owner was a great lich.)
…
After reading the attributes, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
"A ring that increases the rate of abnormal status and damage?"
"This thing can be given to Sarah and Rhaenys. They both happen to have bleeding injuries."
However, Cao Xing glanced at Xierda again.
Her [Blood Poison], as the main output method, seems to be an abnormal state.
I just don’t know if I can get the bonus from this ring?
After thinking about it, Cao Xing decided to give it a try.
So, he said directly: "Hilda, stretch out your hand."
With a loyalty level of 93 points, Hilda will not refuse Cao Xing's order.
With a look of disgust, she stretched out her slender arms.
At this moment, the back of Hilda's hand was covered with a layer of black gauze, adding a bit of cool beauty.
"Hey! Why do you want me to stretch out my arms?"
Before she could react, Cao Xing had already grabbed her right hand.
The moment she came into contact with Cao Xing, the Blood Spider Queen suddenly trembled, and then subconsciously withdrew her arm.
"You, you, you... what do you want to do?"
"How dare you touch my queen's body!"
Cao Xing looked at her speechlessly.
And Hilda seemed to have reacted.
She stretched out her right hand and found a dark purple ring on her middle finger.
There was a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes with smoky makeup.
"This is……"
Cao Xing asked: "How about it? Is this ring useful to you?"
He was more concerned about whether this ring could enhance Hilda's blood poisoning effect.
After hearing this, Hilda felt it carefully.
Then he nodded slightly.
"I felt a cold energy when I was on it. This ring seemed to enhance the corrosive intensity of my blood poison."
Hearing this, Cao Xing also had a smile on his face.
Sure enough it can!
Hilda stretched out her beautiful right hand and observed the ring carefully.
Then he asked: "Is this a gift for my queen?"
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right."
After Hilda heard this, a curve appeared on her enchanting and beautiful face.
"You still have some conscience."
At this point, she seemed to react, and then said disgustedly: "Hey! I don't care about your gift..."
[Due to your generous gift, Hilda Bloodkiss’s loyalty has been increased, current loyalty: 97]
…
Cao Xing smiled.
This time, the blood spider queen's lost loyalty was restored.
Then, they continued to search in the tower.
At this time, Rhaenys came over holding a horned eagle bow and reported respectfully.
"Lord, I found something wrong ahead."
"There seems to be a pool there, but there is a hidden energy shield above it. It seems that I can't break it with my strength."
Rhaenys has the skill [Hunting Eyes], which allows her to see through hidden things.
When Cao Xing heard this, he immediately realized something.
"Is there such a place? Renes, take me there to see it."
"As commanded."
Soon, they came to the black pool that Rhaenys had mentioned.
The pool is not big, square, about seven or eight square meters.
And Cao Xing's [Eye of True Seeing] can also see that there is a hidden energy shield on it.
[Vivian’s Spirit Sealing Barrier]
[Armor: 3500]
[Durability: 200000/200000]
[Additional effect: Ultra-limited rune (immune to attacks below level five)]
…
"Are you immune to attacks below level five?"
Cao Xing had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Obviously, now is the time to use [Vivian's Hairpin (Orange)].
So, Cao Xing took out the hosta from his backpack.
Then he stabbed it directly.
"Bo!"
With a crisp sound.
The barrier above the black pool dissipated instantly.
An invisible energy began to emit.
A large amount of black mist rose from the pool.
"Crash... crash..."
Black liquid surged below.
After a while, the shape of a portal appeared above.
Cao Xing also raised his spirits and watched the movement in front of him.
When the portal was completely formed, Cao Xing also saw the attributes above.
【Castle Portal】
[Quality: unknown]
[Function: Step into the portal and go to the top of the castle]
…
Cao Xing took a deep breath.
"Good guy, that's what it is!"
"Great, the portal to the top is open!"
He was overjoyed and called everyone over.
Everyone gathered around the portal with curious expressions in their eyes.
Think for a moment.
Cao Xing decided that Assam would enter first.
Assam straightened his body, and then stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation.
The next moment, the tall figure of the Frostwolf Knight disappeared.
After a while, Cao Xing asked through the communication device on his ear: "Assam, how is the situation?"
"Zizzi...zizi..."
Assam's voice sounded.
"Back to Lord, my current condition is fine."
"This also looks like an old castle hall, with many rooms next to it. I smell a strong herbal fragrance."
Herbal scent?
Hearing this, Cao Xing also had a curious look in his eyes.
Then he said directly: "Come on, let's go in too."
As soon as he finished speaking, he led everyone into the portal. The picture flashed before his eyes.
When Cao Xing regained his sight, he first saw the men around him.
Liu Muxue held up a shield, with vigilant guards at his side.
And Cao Xing also began to observe the situation around him.
The light on the top floor of the castle still seemed very dim.
Only moonlight shone through the windows overhead.
I could only vaguely see the scene ahead.
Indeed, as Assam said, a wide hall appeared in front.
There is a strange huge magic circle in the middle of the hall, with a layer of black powder appearing on the edge. It looks like some evil creature has emerged from the magic circle.
On both sides of the hall, there are small houses closed with wooden doors.
"Sniff sniff..."
Little Elisa kept twitching her nose, as if she was smelling something.
"It smells so good! It tastes like biscuits!"
But the centaur next to him said: "No, this seems to be a mixture of various plants!"
Even Cao Xing also smelled a special fragrance.
Everyone smelled the strange medicinal fragrance.
Cao Xing said directly: "The smell seems to be emanating from those rooms. Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, he followed the scent of the herbs and pushed straight into one of the rooms.
He was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him.
Inside are rows of shelves, and next to the shelves are various potions!
Some of these potions are red and some are green. At first glance, they are all dazzling.
Moreover, you can sense it through the breath contained in these potions, so the quality must be very high!
“Good guy, so many potions?”
Cao Xing was shocked instantly!
Then, as if he had discovered some kind of treasure, he rushed over quickly.
Without even looking at the properties, he just collected all these potions.
[Obtain: Secret Medicine of Life (medium)*147]
[Obtain: Magical Secret Medicine (medium)*32]
[Obtain: Secret Medicine of Life (Large)*15]
[Obtain: Medium Strength Secret Potion*5]
[Obtain: Medium-sized Essence Mysterious Medicine*6]
[Obtain: Medium-sized blast secret medicine*6]
…
"Fuck! Fuck!"
At this moment, Cao Xing screamed out in surprise.
He didn't expect that there would be so many secret medicines here, and the quality was quite high!
You know, the cheapest [Secret Medicine of Life (Medium)] is sold for 4,000 kronor per bottle according to the market price!
There are more than a hundred bottles here!
The value of these more than 100 bottles of secret life elixir alone is worth 600,000 kronor!
And obviously, the secret medicines below are more valuable.
With excitement, Cao Xing couldn't wait to look at the attributes.
[Secret Medicine of Life (Medium): After taking it, 1000 health points can be restored immediately, cooling time is 30 seconds]
[Magic secret potion (medium): After taking it, a moderate amount of mental power can be restored immediately, cooling time is 45 seconds]
[Secret Medicine of Life (Large): After taking it, 5000 health points can be restored immediately, cooling time: 45 seconds]
…
[Medium Strength Secret Potion: After taking it, within the next 30 minutes, strength +50]
[Medium-sized Essence Mysterious Medicine: After taking it, within the next 30 minutes, the spirit will be +50]
[Medium-sized blast potion: After taking it, in the next 30 minutes, agility +50, movement speed +10%]
(Note: The power contained in the medium-sized secret medicine is too strong and requires a second-level creature or above to take it.)
…
"Haha, get rich, get rich!"
The effects of these secret medicines are each more terrifying than the last.
Especially the [Secret Medicine of Life (Large)], which can directly restore 5,000 points of health.
And Cao Xing's [Improved Life Secret Medicine Formula (Part 2)] can only restore 2,000 health points.
However, the cooldown time of the improved version is only 30 seconds.
In addition, those secret medicines that add attributes are also very powerful.
It can actually directly increase strength and spirit by 50, which is at least equivalent to an increase in attack power of more than 100 points!
And what's the most important thing?
A secret medicine with duration like this has a high probability of being blessed by [Eternal Power].
In other words, Cao Xing only needs to drink one bottle to enjoy this bonus effect permanently.
"The SSS-level talent is so cool, and it saves me a lot of resources!"
Cao Xing was overjoyed.
He decided on the spot to give out all the secret medicine first.
After all, this precious secret medicine is of course used to improve yourself!
He gave 6 bottles of [Intermediate Essence Mysterious Medicine] to Liu Muxue, Hilda, Isabel, Andrew, Brot, and himself.
Cao Xing gave 6 bottles of [Intermediate Swift Wind Secret Medicine] to Sarah, Renes, Elisa, and three nightmare archers each.
The quantity of [Intermediate Strength Secret Potion] is a little smaller, only 5 bottles.
Cao Xing gave Assam, two dragon-blooded warriors, Labu, and Bron five people.
At this moment, those who had been assigned the secret medicine were holding the medicine bottles in their hands with excitement in their eyes.
They can naturally sense that the aura contained in these secret medicines can make them stronger?
Cao Xing said: "Okay, let's start taking it."
"Don't worry if you didn't get it. We'll go to the next room and look for it later."
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
Cao Xing was the first to drink the bottle of blue secret medicine in his hand!
Instantly, a strange force flowed into his stomach.
Not long after, he felt a cool force rushing into the top of his head!
At this moment, system prompts appeared one after another.
[Successfully consumed [Medium Essence Mysterious Medicine], Spirit +50, affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this state has become permanent...]
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance successfully consumed [Medium-sized blast elixir], agility +50, movement speed +10%, affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this state has become permanent...]
[Your...]
…
Everyone who had taken the secret medicine felt that their strength had been greatly improved, with excitement in their eyes.
Cao Xing, who had tasted the sweetness, was also very excited.
You know, there are several small rooms next to this hall that have not yet been explored.
If there are so many gains in every house, then Cao Xing has made a lot of money this time!
With excitement, Cao Xing ordered.
"Come on, let's go to the next room."
Everyone started to take action.
Soon, they opened the door to the second room!
Same as the first room, there are many shelves inside, filled with colorful secret medicines!
Cao Xing suppressed his excitement, quickly walked over and collected all the secret medicine on it.
[Obtain: Secret Medicine of Life (medium)*113]
[Obtain: Magical Secret Medicine (medium)*27]
[Obtain: Secret Medicine of Life (Large)*33]
[Obtain: Medium Strength Secret Potion*8]
[Obtain: Medium-sized Essence Mysterious Medicine*7]
[Obtain: Medium-sized blast secret medicine*9]
[Obtain: Medium Body Secret Medicine*5]
…
"Haha! There are more secret medicines in this room!"
"I'm really rich now!"
Cao Xing was very excited.
As usual, two bottles of [Medium Strength Secret Potion] were given to Kantel and Kandar.
Then he gave the 5 bottles of [Medium Body Secret Medicine] to Bron and Assam, as well as one bottle each to himself, Liu Muxue, and Andrew.
[Successfully took [Medium Body Secret Medicine], Constitution +50, affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this state has become permanent...]
…
"Not bad, not bad. The blood volume has been increased a lot."
Then, they came to the third room.
It's also the last room on the left side of the hall.
Push open the door.
Suddenly there was a strong herbal aroma coming from inside.
This place doesn't seem to be a place to store those secret medicines, but more like a place to refine medicines.
In the center of the room, there is a black crucible.
There were some green potions on it, still bubbling.
I looked at the properties.
[Witch's Crucible (Orange): Special props]
[Quality: Epic]
[Effect: It can speed up the refining speed by 30% and increase the success rate of refining medicine by 20%]
(Introduction: The witch's crucible can greatly speed up the speed and success rate of refining medicine. It is a magical item that all alchemists want to own.)
…
"What a guy! It's actually another orange prop, and it can also increase the success rate!"
As the note says, for alchemists, this is an artifact-level existence!
Cao Xing almost subconsciously put this thing into his backpack.
[Obtain: Witch's Crucible (Orange)]
…
"Very good, this trip has been completely worthwhile!"
Cao Xing was overjoyed.
In addition to the crucible, Cao Xing also saw several bottles of different potions nearby.
One is cyan, one is gold, and there is a white bottle of secret medicine.
The liquid was mixed with some crystal powder and flowed.
It seems that it was just refined not long ago.
He put away the three bottles of secret medicine.
[Obtain: Witch’s Swallow Secret Medicine*1]
[Obtain: Witch's Oriole Secret Medicine*1]
[Obtain: Witch's Rook's Secret Medicine*1]
…
"Oh? New secret medicine? Does it have any effect?"
I looked at the properties.
[Witch's Swallow Secret Medicine: After taking it, the dodge rate can be increased by 25%, and the effect lasts for 1 minute]
[Witch's Oriole Secret Potion: Apply it to the weapon, causing the next 10 attacks to have the effect of Oriole's Eclipse, reducing the enemy's armor by up to 10% (can be superimposed with other states)]
[The Witch's Rook's Secret Medicine: After taking it, the attack speed of melee professions will be accelerated by 20%, and the probability of dismemberment will be increased by 20%. However, if the constitution is insufficient, it will damage the muscles and cause tearing effects on oneself. 】
…
"Three secret medicines with special powers?"
"The effect is quite terrifying, but it's a pity that there is only 1 bottle."
Cao Xing put it into his backpack first and did not use it immediately.
Then he said impatiently: "Let's continue searching."
On the other side of the hall, they saw several more rooms.
Cao Xing is also looking forward to what he can find inside.
Soon, they came to the opposite side.
Just push the door open.
As for the thing inside, Cao Xing's pupils shrank again!
Because he saw many plants planted.
There are also some magical plants that Cao Xing is familiar with!
Obviously, these are the herbs used by witches to make medicine.
He leaned over and took a look.
【Lingxi grass (green)】
[Moon Ninghua (blue)]
[Red crocodile (blue)]
[Mysterious four-leaf clover (gold)]
…
"What a guy! There are even golden magical plants!"
Cao Xing looked at the attributes.
[Mysterious four-leaf clover (gold): magic plant]
[Effect: The four-leaf clover contains mysterious power. After eating, it can randomly increase an attribute (including four-dimensional attributes, charm, luck, attack power, health, etc.). It is used to make some high-level secret medicines. Material. 】
…
"Oh? It can actually increase your luck and charm points."
"As expected of a magical plant of golden quality!"
Cao Xing plundered all these materials without hesitation.
[Obtain: Spirit Breath Grass (green)*102]
[Obtain: Moon Ninghua (blue)*32]
[Obtain: Red Sour Flower (Blue)*39]
[Obtain: Mysterious four-leaf clover (gold)*4]
…
