Chapter 251 Return to the territory, the haunted mine (6200)
The faces of all members of the Church of Light changed wildly!
"Bishop Eugene is a fifth-level commander-level warrior. He is also blessed by the God of Light. Who can kill him?"
"Yeah, how could this happen?"
The red-robed bishop shook his head, "I don't know."
"But this is news from the Seed of Light, and it cannot be false!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Church of Light froze in place for a moment as if they were struck by lightning.
"Lord...Mr. Bishop...then what is our next plan? Are we going to continue to attack Lake Duolun City?"
The red-robed bishop was silent for a moment, seeming to be communicating with someone.
After a moment, he nodded and said: "The Seed of Light has issued new instructions."
"He ordered us to put Lake Duolun City's offensive plan on the schedule as soon as possible in order to prevent any more surprises."
"I need to go to the Witch Forest first to confirm what happened to Bishop Eugene and see if I can find the murderer."
"Two days later, no matter what the result is, attack Duolun Lake City!"
On the field, all members of the Church of Light looked stern.
"As you command!"
At this moment, the red-robed bishop quickly left the team and ran towards the Witch Forest.
On the way, his face became more and more gloomy, and there was a sinister look in his eyes!
“Dare to attack our Bishop of the Church of Light!”
"No matter who you are, once we find you, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
The red-robed bishop quickly disappeared on the lake.
…
…
One hour later.
Cao Xing and others have emerged from the dark forest.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Centaur Cantor asked doubtfully: "Lord, why don't you feel that this is not the direction back to the territory?"
Cao Xing smiled and said, "It's not true. I'm going to take you in a big circle and then return to the territory."
Of course he would not return to the territory foolishly.
This time, he killed a red-robed bishop and ruined the plans of two gods.
The impact is estimated to be more serious than the last time the large safari camp was massacred.
Obviously, after the Light Church learns the news, they will definitely send people to investigate.
Therefore, he deliberately changed the direction and walked out of the forest.
At this moment, everyone seemed to understand something.
I admire the lord's continued caution.
Cao Xing smiled and said: "Get ready, we have to go around hundreds of kilometers tonight, and it may take a long time."
Upon hearing this, the two centaurs responded immediately: "It doesn't matter, strong lord, centaurs are best at traveling long distances!"
"That's right, we centaurs have four legs, so we can run for days without any problems."
The two dragon-blooded warriors next to them also said: "Back then, our Norn family's home was destroyed by a giant dragon. In order to find a new habitat, our family migrated for more than three months."
"We are already used to this kind of rush situation."
The girls, including Elisa, also patted their chests to ensure that there was no problem.
Cao Xing smiled.
"Okay, then get ready to go."
"Sarah, you follow us and erase the traces of our progress."
After hearing this, Sarah exited the [Moon Dance] state and entered the stealth state.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, led the others and began to walk through snowfields, lakes, and villages.
It almost went around for hundreds of kilometers.
For the next few hours, they were in a hurry.
The time soon came to around six o'clock in the morning.
at this time.
Dawn breaks.
Beams of sunshine fell from the clouds.
Although there is no temperature.
But in this cold world, it still brings light to all things.
Everyone has been traveling for almost five hours.
You know, after receiving the blessing of [Black Mist Totem], their movement speed has increased by 100%.
In these five hours, they almost circled more than 500 kilometers!
During this period, we also entered many areas with complex terrain.
Cao Xing didn't believe that those guys could still track him like this.
now.
They are still more than ten kilometers away from the territory.
There were happy smiles on everyone's faces.
Isabel was facing the sun and praying devoutly.
Cao Xing was summarizing his gains this time.
The experience this night was so rich, and what he gained was quite amazing.
First, not long after entering the castle, they encountered a large number of suture soldiers. After killing them, they obtained a large number of weapons and intermediate power hearts.
These hearts of power are enough for more than a hundred second-level creatures in the territory to break through. Only a few dozen more are needed to allow all the wild boar warriors and Ascalon warriors to break through to the third level.
In addition, he also obtained more than a hundred [Destroyer Crossbows (Purple)].
These crossbow arrows are extremely powerful and can easily penetrate the bodies of fourth-level creatures.
To deal with the second-level ice nest monster, one arrow can kill it instantly, and after triggering the special effect, one arrow can kill them all!
This is a powerful force that can overturn the situation of the war.
After dealing with the soldiers outside, they entered the tower in the center of the castle.
Inside, Assam singled out the Big Bad Wolf, successfully completed the [Trial of Valor], and broke through to the fourth level.
And Cao Xing also obtained an epic-quality magic bean from the werewolf's belly.
There are also some equipments that can be obtained by killing Ogre Hunter and Rapunzel.
In addition, the secret medicine obtained from the top floor of the castle, the witch's crucible, etc.
By the way, he also kidnapped the witch back to his territory...
The experience of this night can be said to be unimaginably rich.
If they are all digested, it will definitely increase the strength of his territory by a large margin!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.
Even the pace of progress has accelerated.
Soon, everyone saw the territory located in the snow.
Little Elisa said excitedly: "Okay, I'm finally home!"
Bronn blew his beard and said, "Knight of Assam, we will have a drink later!"
Assam replied readily: "No problem."
Including the wild boar warriors and centaurs, there were also excited looks on their faces.
Everyone on the field has a strong sense of belonging to this territory.
Just like Elisa said.
This has become their home.
And Francesca also saw the territory in the snow from a distance.
As someone who owned a castle, she was not surprised by the size of this territory.
However, her eyes saw the pale sacred tree in the center of the territory.
She could feel that there was a pure power in her body, which increased her vitality a lot.
It comes from this sacred tree.
"What a magical plant..."
Francesca, who originally had no expectations for Cao Xing's territory, couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation in her heart.
Everyone continued to move forward and soon arrived at about one kilometer of the territory.
Cao Xing noticed that it was just dawn and many of the residents had already gone out to work.
Liu Muxue behind him said softly: "These leaders work really hard."
Cao Xing also nodded, "Yes, it is precisely because it provides them with a good living environment and ensures their life safety that these residents are very motivated to work."
In fact, Cao Xing still has something to say.
That is, the territorial citizens' loyalty to him and their expectations for the territory make them work hard every day.
"Come on, let's go in."
After saying that, Cao Xing prepared to lead people back to the territory.
At this time, it was almost seven o'clock in the morning.
At the same time, a system prompt appears.
[Please note to survivors: You have passed the thirteenth day of the official period. The strength of the monsters in the Ice Nest has been slightly increased, and the probability of bosses and leader-level Ice Nest monsters has increased. Please deal with it with caution...]
[Weather forecast: There will be light winds and heavy rainfall in some areas of the snowfield today, with temperatures ranging from -53℃ to -72℃...]
…
"Oh? The probability of bosses and leader-level ice nest monsters appearing has increased again?"
"It seems that if I use the Ice Dragon Horn again later, the difficulty will probably increase a lot."
However, Cao Xing didn't care.
For him, these second-level bosses and bosses are basically just a matter of one or two magic spells, and they pose no threat at all.
Of course, if it were other survivors, it would be big trouble.
After all, second-level bosses and leaders are invincible to survivors of the same level!
They don't have Cao Xing's [SSS-level eternal power], so it's difficult to kill enemies across levels under normal circumstances.
Even if it can be defeated, it will most likely cost some casualties.
Soon, everyone came under the city wall.
The territory gate recognized Cao Xing's identity as lord and opened automatically.
A group of more than twenty people filed in.
When the residents saw Cao Xing returning, their faces were filled with joyful smiles and they greeted him one after another.
"Lord, I wish you good health."
"Madam Lord, may you always be beautiful."
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue would also nod to these people.
Amidst the greetings, everyone returned to the territory.
Although they didn't sleep all night, they were still very excited at this time.
Along the way, Francesca also received the attention of many people in the territory.
The polar people and staff were stunned by this beautiful witch.
But they all knew how to measure, and after just glancing at it, they lowered their heads silently.
Francesca lowered her head and stared at the soles of her feet from the moment she entered the territory.
Her shoulders were trembling slightly, and her whole body looked a little unnatural after her previous cold look.
When Cao Xing saw her like this, he understood.
In our words, after having been at home for a long time, suddenly seeing so many people made me feel a little scared.
So, he looked at Liu Muxue and Elisa next to him.
Several girls understood what he meant and came to Francesca one after another.
Surrounded by a group of beauties, her mood gradually returned to calm.
And Francesca also looked at the women around her gratefully.
At this time, more than 200 combatants and more than 80 staff members in the territory came over one after another.
They stood respectfully.
Leader Cao Yi first reported: "Lord, Lord Hilton led the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce convoy to leave early in the morning. They must hurry up and rush to the next location." "He asked me to tell you, thank you for helping them. The carriage has been repaired, and I will definitely bring more goods to the lord next time I have the opportunity."
"In addition, he also asked the lord to keep all the milk from Yuncai Yak. He will go to the city first to negotiate the price with the nobles."
"If possible, he hopes to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with us. He will purchase all Yuncai yak milk and give us a reasonable price."
Hearing this, Cao Xing also laughed.
This time, the milk produced by the dozen Yuncai yaks brought him more than one million crowns in profit.
It would also be a good thing if Hilton can acquire it in the long term.
However, this also made Cao Xing secretly decide to see if there was a chance to catch more Yuncai Yaks.
After all, although 19 Yuncai Yaks are like money printing machines, they are still too few for him.
Cao Xing nodded, and then said: "Cao Yi, continue talking."
Cao Yi, the leader of the territory, said respectfully: "According to your instructions, the mining system of the territory has been restored."
"Currently, we have changed the direction of the railway tracks and connected all the resource points three kilometers near the territory."
"However, yesterday we discovered a haunted mine in a patch of snow four kilometers away."
"Haunted mine?" Cao Xing asked doubtfully.
The leader Cao nodded, "Yes, captain of the Ascalon warriors, Yaskin went to investigate yesterday and said that he sensed the breath of the undead inside."
"However, the undead inside were very cunning and felt that Captain Yaskin's aura was too powerful, so they did not come out."
"If the undead inside are not dealt with, it may be dangerous for workers to go mining."
Cao Xing became interested instantly.
Generally speaking, there are some dangers lurking in haunted mines like this.
Workers will disappear inexplicably while mining, and sometimes major accidents such as mine collapses will occur.
It sounds very evil.
But in fact, as long as the resentful spirits inside are killed, there will basically be no safety risks.
Moreover, there are usually some rare resources under such mines.
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll let someone take a look at it this afternoon."
"Today, you should work as before."
"As you command, Lord."
Cao Yi respectfully resigned after receiving the order.
At this time, Duan, a polar man, came over and reported: "Lord, your lord's cabin has been upgraded, and it has now been upgraded to a level 6 lord's mansion."
"In addition, the King's Altar that you ordered us to build first has also been successfully built."
"Two other important buildings, the Mage Tower and the Knights Hall, are under construction and are expected to be completed tomorrow."
Listening to a series of reports from Polar Man Du An, Cao Xing also showed joy on his face.
After the lord's hut is upgraded to the lord's mansion, he can add more people.
Once the [King's Altar] is built, heroes in the territory can be resurrected, and it is an extremely important building.
Cao Xing praised: "Good, good, well done, Du An!"
Duan said humbly: "I am happy to serve you, respected lord!"
Cao Xing nodded and continued: "I recently obtained another blueprint. Your main task today is to upgrade the machinery factory to the intermediate level."
"Then the Shadow Killer training camp will be built, and other work will continue as usual."
Du An, a polar man, said respectfully: "I obey, my lord."
"We promise to do what you asked us to do wholeheartedly."
After saying that, he was ready to lead people to start the day's work.
At this moment, Cao Xing accidentally glanced at Du An's attribute panel, which seemed to have changed compared to before.
[Polar Man: Duane]
[Level: Level 10 0/10000 (first-order ordinary creature)]
…
At this time, Du An has actually reached level 10.
You know, when Cao Xing recruited him, he was just a level 7 polar man.
During this period of time, he was not allowed to fight, and Du An had no status skills.
How did he level up?
And what surprised Cao Xing even more.
In addition to Duan, several other polar people have also reached the first level.
"Du An." Cao Xing called him directly.
He turned back respectfully, "Lord, please give me your instructions."
Cao Xing shook his head and asked, "Have you reached the full level of the first level?"
"What's going on? You won't go out to fight secretly, will you?"
Hearing this question, Polar Man Duan suddenly became nervous like a fox caught by the tail.
Including several other polar people, their expressions also changed at the same time.
"Lord...Lord..."
Duane seemed to be trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart.
I couldn't say a second sentence for a long time.
Cao Xing wondered: "What's wrong? Can't you tell me?"
These words made Du An extremely nervous!
He kept taking deep breaths.
After a moment, he seemed to have made some kind of decision and said frankly: "Lord..."
"Actually...it was at night...we went to the training ground to train..."
"Every night after work, we would train for four hours..."
After hearing this, Cao Xing also had a look of surprise in his eyes.
The [Elementary Training Ground] in his territory allows the citizens who train there to gain 500 experience points every hour.
If you train four hours a day, you will get 2,000 experience points.
Before, Cao Xing had this kind of plan to train those staff.
But considering that they have to work during the day and train at night, it's a bit too much.
So Cao Xing never implemented it.
Unexpectedly, they actually went to train on their own.
But at this moment.
The other polar people on the scene, including the territorial residents, seemed to have heard something terrifying.
They all took a breath of air.
Da Zhuang and others exclaimed: "Du An! What did you say?"
"You actually sneaked away to train on your own!"
"Why don't you kneel down before your lord and admit your mistake!"
After hearing this, Du An knelt down with a 'pop' sound.
"Lord...I took the other polar people to train..."
"If you want to punish, punish me..."
Several other polar people also knelt down on the spot.
They knelt on their knees, their heads pressed against the bluestone floor beneath their feet.
"Lord, you can't blame Duan alone."
"We are also participants, please punish us together. No matter what punishment, we are willing to accept it!"
Before Cao Xing could speak, Yaskin, the captain of the Ascalon soldiers next to him, also stood up.
He also knelt on his knees and said, "Dear Lord, I am the instructor of their own initiative."
"Please punish me too!"
This sudden scene stunned both Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.
And those people on the field, including the leader Cao Yi, Da Zhuang and others, all looked like they hated iron.
It seemed as if Duan and the others had done something treacherous.
However, after hearing this, Cao Xing said dumbfounded: "Why should I punish you?"
After hearing this, Du An said quickly.
"Because... we used the training ground without your permission."
"We humble polar people... actually want to have power. This is not allowed in this world..."
After hearing this, Cao Xing still had some doubts in his eyes.
At this time, Cao Yi, the leader, came over and explained to Cao Xing.
After a moment, Cao Xing suddenly nodded.
Because the world is divided into different classes.
It is extremely difficult for civilians to get rid of their own identity and achieve a class jump.
Many people are destined to their status the moment they are born, and will never have the opportunity to be promoted throughout their lives.
The polar people with well-developed limbs and simple minds are the lowest tool people in any territory.
Those lords or nobles would not allow them to gain power at all.
Once discovered, execution is light.
In serious cases, all the polar people in the entire territory may even be executed!
Over the years, countless polar people and civilians have died because of things like this.
In their view, the polar people are only qualified to do the dirty work, and the civilians are used to serve the nobles and serve as cannon fodder.
This concept has been ingrained in their minds.
Priests like Assam, Hilda, and even Isabel are all used to this kind of thing.
It’s not that they don’t have compassion, it’s just that this is the way the world is, and they start to accept this concept from the moment they are born.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the court reached its peak.
No one dared to express their anger.
Including Francesca, she also looked at Cao Xing with her emerald eyes.
She wanted to see, faced with this situation, what decision would the lord in front of her make?
Should they all be executed, or only a small number?
However, Cao Xing slowly stepped forward.
Several polar people who were kneeling on the ground pressed their faces to the ground.
Cao Xing sighed and said, "You don't have to do this."
"I know, Duane, you go to the training ground to improve yourself because you want to better contribute to the territory."
Duan, the polar man, slowly raised his pale face, with a look of hesitation in his eyes.
He seemed to have made up his mind, and then said solemnly: "Lord, I want to improve myself partly because I want to contribute to the territory."
"On the other hand, I do want to be powerful!"
Da Zhuang said quickly: "Du An, shut up!"
"Admit your mistake to the lord, maybe the kind lord will spare your life!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, no one can save you!"
But Du An shook his head and said: "No, this is my personal idea. I also want to be like those soldiers and use my own strength to defend the territory."
"Even in the face of danger, we don't have to keep watching in the territory!"
His voice is deafening!
These are Duane's true words, and they are also words he said when he was ready to die.
At this moment, everyone on the field looked at the group of polar people and sighed.
Because under normal circumstances, Du An would definitely die if he said these words.
Cao Xing thought for a moment, and then asked: "I understand, you want to have the power to protect yourself, right?"
Duan, the polar man, struggled for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
