Chapter 254 Interrogation, shocking secrets! (6000)
And this also proved that the safari was not lying.
Cao Xing took out a small cup from his backpack with 20 ml of water in it.
Almost enough for a sip.
However, looking at this bit of water, the eyes of the middle-aged man underground burst out with a frightening light!
For him, this little water is a life-saving straw!
Cao Xing put the water glass on the ground, "Drink."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately crawled over excitedly and drank the water in the cup with a "gulu" sound.
However, this not only failed to quench his thirst, but also stimulated his body's desire for water!
He looked at Cao Xing with an even stronger gaze.
Cao Xing continued to ask: "Second question, how much do you know about the size of the Church of Light and the number of powerful people?"
This is also the question he wants to know most.
Through the previous actions, he had almost offended this cult to death.
Some things cannot be hidden for a lifetime, and you may face them head-on later.
So before that, Cao Xing wanted to know how strong this organization was.
How big their power is, and how to deal with it.
Hearing this question, the middle-aged man in front of him thought again for a moment.
"Except for the stormy snowfield... I don't know much about the church forces outside..."
"But according to some information I obtained, the power of the Church of Light covers the Ice Crystal Kingdom and several nearby kingdoms."
"In the stormy snowfield, they sent three red-robed bishops and a large number of black-robed and white-robed priests..."
"But up front, a red-robed bishop died in the Witch Forest. The church headquarters transferred another red-robed bishop. We went in with the high priest to perform the mission, and then we met you..."
"Recently, according to the command of the Seed of Light, we concentrated our forces on Duolun Lake City."
…
After listening to what he said, Cao Xing also had a vague concept in his mind.
From this point of view, the power of the Light Church is really great!
Its power covers the entire Ice Crystal Kingdom and even several nearby kingdoms.
Although the Blizzard Snowfield is very large, compared to a kingdom, it is just a remote place.
That is, just the tip of their iceberg.
After asking these questions, Cao Xing gave him another 20 ml of water.
The middle-aged man below drank it all in one gulp again.
Cao Xing continued to ask questions.
"How much do you know about the Seed of Light?"
This question seems to touch on some core secrets.
A strong struggle appeared on the middle-aged man's face!
After a while, Cao Xing urged: "If you know, tell it yourself."
"Otherwise, if we use the confession technique on you later, the result will be the same."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at Isabel next to him, with strong fear in his eyes...
He struggled for a moment, then spoke.
"The Seed of Light... was only recently born."
"With his arrival, our Church of Light has found its backbone."
"Based on the conversation I heard from the high priest and the bishop, I guess..."
"The seed of light is probably a lord from another world like you!"
Upon hearing this information, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank!
It even made his breath slightly out of control!
Good guy!
This was a possibility he had never thought of.
The Seed of Light is the lord of another world.
In other words, among them Blue Star survivors, one person is the spokesperson of this huge cult!
And, he may now be the leader of this organization.
Thinking about it this way, it’s really scary!
After all, that person not only has the system functions of a survivor, but also has a huge power.
Cao Xing thought that his development was fast enough.
However, that survivor had the entire Church of Light, and so many strong men were helping him.
It is conceivable that this person's current territorial strength has developed to a terrifying level.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party does not need to develop any territory at all.
…
…
at the same time.
In a mountain range extremely far away from Cao Xing's territory.
There is a huge temple hidden inside.
A young man with handsome features and delicate features was sitting on a huge throne.
Behind him is a sun flag.
In front of him, a large number of white-robed priests, red-robed bishops, and even some powerful beings in yellow robes knelt on the ground respectfully.
He closed his eyes tightly, and bursts of light emitted from the back of his head, making him look extremely majestic.
After a moment, the young man opened his eyes and said with a faint tone.
"The God of Light has sent down a revelation. The existence that ruined our plan and wiped out Demu's divinity is in the wind and snow field."
"Now, Sainz, Bella..."
After hearing the young man's order, the two red-robed bishops stood up respectfully.
"Great spokesperson of the God of Light, please give me your instructions..."
The young man said: "Now, you will lead a team of believers to the blizzard snowfield to help the plan in Duolun Lake City go smoothly."
"Then, secretly investigate the identity of the attacker."
"A large camp was destroyed the other day and I suspect it was the same group of people."
"Follow this to find clues."
After listening to the two red-robed bishops, thoughts flashed in their eyes.
Then they respectfully replied: "Yes, great seed of light..."
After the two red-robed bishops led the people away, the young man looked forward with deep eyes.
"The plans in other places are going relatively smoothly, except for this blizzard and snowfield..."
"It seems that there is something strange in this area. Maybe there is a hidden strong man."
"It's a pity that the God of Light is trapped in the land of the Abyss and can't give me much help."
At this time, he opened the [World Channel] and checked it out.
"The survivors in this area of Blizzard Snowfield seem to be people from District 17."
"However, due to system limitations, we survivors cannot go to other areas before the areas are merged."
"It seems that we can contact the survivors in this area and ask if there are any hidden aboriginal masters or forces."
"Then secretly inquire about their strength."
He didn't associate the existence that ruined their plan with the survivors at all.
In his opinion, the current survivors are too weak.
Just send out any black-robed priest and it can be easily destroyed.
It is impossible for such a weak being to kill the red-robed priest of their Church of Light and destroy a trace of the divinity of Dem, the God of Nightmares.
…
…
At this moment, Cao Xing had walked out of the basement.
He glanced at the countdown above his head.
[Distance to nightfall: 7 minutes and 32 seconds...]
[Current temperature: 7℃]
…
After waking up from the sewing shop, Cao Xing continued to arrange work.
In a blink of an eye, it was dark.
The territorial residents who went out to work gradually returned to the territory.
As for himself, he began to think about his next plan.
Obviously, the power of the Church of Light is beyond imagination.
The most important thing is that the Seed of Light is actually a survivor from Blue Star.
I just don’t know which district this guy is from or which country he is from.
Cao Xing thought to himself: "However, what is certain at present is that this guy is not from our District 17."
"Such a powerful existence, if it were in our 17th district, it would be impossible to borrow Wuming, at least it would reveal a little bit of strength."
"At present, it seems that my situation is still safe, but I need to keep a low profile."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing has already thought about the next development plan in his mind.
At this time, there was a sizzling sound of electricity next to his ears.
"Lord, I am Cantor!"
"I'm Kandar!"
came the loud voices of the two centaurs.
Cao Xing replied: "Why haven't you come back yet? Did you encounter anything in that mine?"
Kandar immediately replied: "Lord, we haven't encountered anything so far."
"We have been exploring this mine since we arrived."
"But so far, I only feel a cold breath constantly entering my body, but I haven't seen any monsters."
"Kantel said that if it is a wraith-like creature, it may not come out during the day."
"So we decided to stay here all night and see if those monsters or ghosts would show up!"
After listening to their explanations, Cao Xing also nodded.
It has to be said that the strategy of the two centaurs is correct.
They look naive, but they are not stupid at all. At least they are experienced in dealing with various monsters.
"Okay, please be careful at night and contact me immediately if you have any questions."
This is only a few kilometers away from the haunted mine.
With the speed of Cao Xing and the others, they would be able to catch up quickly.
The two centaurs also agreed quickly.
After doing this, Cao Xing took Liu Muxue into the cafeteria and started enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
After dinner, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.
Cao Xing took Liu Muxue back to his [Lord's Mansion] to rest.
After taking a warm hot bath, I slipped into bed.
Then, it took more than an hour to comfort the beauty around me.
Liu Muxue fell into a deep sleep.
Cao Xing is still in high spirits.
The time now is just after nine o'clock in the evening.
He couldn't sleep so early and felt a little bored for a while.
Although there are no mobile phones to play in this world, they have communication forums!
So, Cao Xing opened the chat channel to see how the survivors were doing recently.
Liang Yuansheng: "Brothers, are there any other aborigines coming to contact you outside your territory today?"
Xing Deyang: "Yes, a group of soldiers came to my territory today and said that my territory is Baron Barnaby's territory. Either we leave here or we pay taxes regularly, otherwise we will send troops to drive us away."
Qu Qifeng: "Damn it! Me too, these idiots actually want us to pay 30,000 units of food and 5,000 units of iron every month!"
Ding Bo: "What a trap! We just had a little reserve of food in the territory, but they just asked for 30,000 units! These are just a bunch of bandits. I really want to overthrow these stupid nobles!"
Du Ping: "Haha, I didn't meet that group of soldiers today, but I met a group of wanderers. They seemed to have come from another kingdom. They had no place to go, so I took them in. The population of the territory suddenly increased a lot. !”
...Cao Xing was thoughtful after listening.
As the system said last time, the indigenous people of this world will gradually pay attention to the survivors' territory.
At present, many territories are visited by the indigenous people.
It would be okay to meet some ordinary aborigines, but it would be a bit troublesome to meet those barons or some noble forces.
And Cao Xing is also thinking.
What should he do if he encounters the same situation in his territory?
Should we act according to the rules, or should we use money to eliminate disasters?
Although he is already very strong now, Cao Xing knows that he is not yet strong enough to fight against the noble class.
Don't look at these nobles, they usually look like they have nothing to lose.
And once someone really offends their majesty, these guys will unite and launch a thunderous attack on them.
They will never allow those civilians, or even people from other classes, to shake their dominance!
Just like they don't allow those polar people and civilians to have power.
In addition, Cao Xing may have to keep a low profile for a while after killing the red-robed bishop.
Therefore, he can't break up with these guys yet.
"If we really meet them then, let's see what the needs of these guys are."
"If it's not excessive, we can give it a little more resources to buy some time for development."
"When I'm strong enough, no matter who the noble is, I'll defeat them all!"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing had already thought of a strategy to deal with it.
At this moment, the survivors in the chat channel are still complaining.
Qin Yonglun: "Alas... Although I didn't encounter those aborigines in my territory, I encountered a leader-level ice nest monster, a level 18 leader monster! It almost killed me, and those soldiers couldn't stop it at all. Such a powerful monster, I have abandoned my territory and run away.”
Zhuo Zhumei: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Me too. I encountered two boss ice nest monsters today. They are so cruel that even the elemental arrow tower has no effect on them."
Lu Yue: "Haha, I saw a boss-level ice nest monster appear today. Fortunately, I dug a trap in advance. I trapped this guy in the trap for several minutes and finally killed it!"
Bai Guangfei: "It's difficult. The difficulty of survival has increased again. Now, in addition to those large legions, there are also the territories of a few strong men. If other people's territories encounter the leader-level ice nest monster, they will basically suffer heavy losses."
…
Obviously, most of the survivors are now suffering from ice nest monsters.
Especially today, after the probability of bosses and boss-level ice nest monsters increasing, the difficulty has soared!
Cao Xing can easily deal with these monsters, but that doesn't mean other survivors can.
For them, a second-level boss would be dead, let alone a powerful boss!
There may also be a large number of ordinary ice nest monsters among them, so it is normal for them to be unable to handle them.
And Cao Xing secretly thought: "Currently, most of the survivors are helpless against the leader-level ice nest monster."
"It seems that my batch of nightmare arrows is ready for release."
"After all, the damage caused by this kind of arrow is very terrifying. One arrow is enough to make a second-level boss-level monster bleed to death."
"As long as you use it well, it's not difficult to deal with second-level leader-level monsters."
"If this thing appears on the market, it will definitely cause everyone to rush for it, and I can sell it at a high price!"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing even wanted to go to the blacksmith shop on the spot to see how many arrows Harold had made in the past two days.
But after thinking about it, Harold was probably still working overtime, so it was better not to disturb him.
So, with a hint of expectation.
Cao Xing hugged the sweet Liu Muxue and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day...
A system prompt appears.
[Survivors, please note that you have passed the 14th day of the official period, and there are still 3 days until the end of the points rankings...]
[Weather forecast: Some areas of the blustery snowfield will usher in a cold wave today, with temperatures ranging from -57℃~-75℃~]
…
"Oh? Are there only 3 days left?"
During this period of time, Cao Xing encountered various situations one after another, so much so that Cao Xing didn't pay much attention to the standings.
I didn’t expect that seven days would pass so quickly after the merger.
I took a look at the rankings.
【17 District Points Ranking】
[First place: Cao Xing 1437 points]
[Second place: Jiang Qingyun 872 points]
[Third place: Qiu Yating 633 points]
[Fourth place: Wuxinghu 598 points]
[Fifth place: Chen Feng 574 points]
…
[Tenth place: Zhou Bo 453 points]
…
"Fortunately, my current points are still firmly in the first place."
"It seems that various unexpected situations these days have also caused trouble to others."
Cao Xing is right. Almost all survivors have encountered various unexpected situations these days.
Especially that blizzard not only took away many lives, but also made it more difficult for survivors to reunite.
And it ferments over time.
The survivors basically all know that a lot of people will die in a [Ice Dragon Horn] challenge.
Even the Wangjiang Pavilion in Area 171 and the Ice Tiger Legion in Area 174 are no exception.
No one wants to be the unlucky guy, so the major legions are now unable to organize enough manpower to carry out the Ice Dragon Horn Challenge.
The current points rankings require a minimum of 450 points to be in the top ten.
Moreover, what surprised the other survivors was that this time, four people from Area 174 made it into the top ten.
Especially that Qiu Yating.
She was like a sudden force, and she began to exert her strength after the blizzard ended.
In the past two days, the survivors have often discussed who Qiu Yating is.
Because her ranking rose so fast.
I use one or two [Ice Dragon Horn (Small)] almost every day, and in just three days, I have entered the top three!
According to this trend, Qiu Yating will even overpower Jiang Qingyun and take the second position.
This directly put huge pressure on Wangjiang Pavilion.
Now Jiang Qingyun is trying every means to summon more cannon fodder, hoping to continue using the Ice Dragon Horn to challenge.
Even Cao Xing was a little surprised.
"Oh? This Qiu Yating's ranking has risen very quickly!"
"Is the reward the old witch gave her last time so powerful?"
This also got him interested.
Of course, he didn't want to rob Qiu Yating's things.
Because it's not necessary.
Anyway, there are enough treasures in his territory.
There are more than a hundred [Destroyer Crossbows] in his backpack.
These crossbow arrows alone are enough to easily meet the challenge of [Ice Dragon Horn].
Not to mention, there are hundreds of powerful soldiers.
"Forget it, whatever she gets has nothing to do with me."
"I can just focus on developing my own territory."
Shaking his head, Cao Xing woke up Liu Muxue beside him.
The two of them washed up together and then left the spacious lord's mansion.
Push open the door.
Several hundred people were standing outside.
Except for the personnel sent out by Cao Xing yesterday, the other residents were basically there.
At this time, Cao Xing noticed that Du An and seven other polar people had already broken through to level 2.
They looked at their lord with fanaticism in their eyes.
And these people are probably among the few second-level polar people in the entire Western Continent.
Cao Xing asked: "Du An, how does it feel to break through?"
Du An said excitedly: "Lord, I feel very good. I have endless strength in my body!"
"Now, I can carry hundreds of kilograms of rocks by myself!"
Several polar people nearby also echoed.
"My lord, so am I. I can directly lift a big tree now!"
"Haha, then I will carry a cow!"
Seeing their happy faces, everyone on the field had smiles on their faces.
Because in this way, they all believe that their lord really allows them to gain power!
At this time, Du An said excitedly: "My kind and great lord, please arrange our work for today!"
“I can’t wait to contribute to the territory!”
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry, were there any upgraded Polars and staff yesterday?"
Da Zhuang said excitedly: "Lord, it's me! I trained for 4 hours last night and have reached level 6!"
The second strong man next to him immediately echoed, "Lord, I have reached level 5, and I feel that my strength has increased a lot."
As everyone echoed, Cao Xing found that many people had risen one or two levels.
Including Cao Yi, who is already somewhat old, has also been promoted to level 5.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
"You are all very good. Just follow what I said yesterday. On the premise of ensuring that you do a good job, you can try your best to improve yourself."
"When you reach level 10, come directly to me to receive the Heart of Power. Do you understand?"
Everyone looked at each other, then raised the tools in their hands, "Understood!"
"Long live the lord!"
Cao Xing smiled.
"Okay, let's go to work now, just like yesterday."
"As you command!"
With high emotions, hundreds of staff members scattered and left!
Cao Xing noticed that there was a woman waiting silently beside him.
It was Sabina.
She changed into a clean white doctor's gown today and took good care of her whole body.
Don't tell me yet.
Compared with the sloppy look when Cao Xing first bought her back.
Sabina today feels like a big sister nurse.
At this moment, I saw Cao Xing's eyes exchange.
Sabina walked quickly to him and dropped to her knees.
Raise your hands high above your head.
Cao Xing noticed that she seemed to be holding a bottle of black potion in her hand.
