Chapter 289 Entering the predator camp and destroying everything (6400)
"Let's go and eliminate harm for the people!"
After Cao Xing finished speaking, everyone responded one after another.
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
Then, Cao Xing first called Dabai and Wally over.
He and Liu Muxue went to collect all the [Moses Grass] next to the pond.
[Obtain: Moses grass (green)*17723]
[Obtain: Moses grass (green)*16894]
[Obtain: Moses grass seeds (green)*7231]
【get……】
…
A large area of Moses grass grew here, and the two of them enjoyed picking it.
Soon, all the grass in this patch of grass was pulled out by them.
at the same time.
Two giant beasts, Dabai and Volibear, also came over.
"Boom! Boom!"
Cao Xing glanced at everyone on the field and the Yuncai Yak behind him.
Then he said: "Jonard, Josante, take Dabai and Wally and find a safe place to guard our yaks."
"Then wait for my news."
The two dragon blood warriors straightened their bodies and said respectfully: "As you command, Lord Lord, we will definitely not let the yak be harmed."
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
"Everyone else, come up with me."
After saying that, everyone started taking action separately.
Cao Xing led a group of people and found a path up the mountain.
Then, they came to the place where Sarah and others were fighting.
There were a lot of corpses lying on the cliffs on both sides.
There's also the loot these guys drop when they die.
Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.
Because he saw a bunch of hearts of power and souls!
Just walk over and put it all away.
[Obtain: Advanced Power Heart*1]
[Obtain: Elite Soul of Snow Mountain Marauder*2]
[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*7]
[Obtain: Third-level Earth Mage Apprentice Recruitment Scroll*3]
[Obtain: Goblin Fragment Bomb*7]
[Obtain: Coins*17239]
[Obtain: Advanced Element Crystal*12]
[Obtain: Intermediate element crystal*37]
…
"Oh? Three earth mage apprentice recruitment scrolls, and a goblin fragment bomb?"
Cao Xing took a look at the properties of these two new things.
[Tier 3 Earth Mage Recruitment Scroll]
[Prop effect: After use, it can summon an earth mage apprentice with third-level strength, possessing the skills of ‘intermediate earth element control’ and ‘earth stab’]
…
"Is he just a mage apprentice? Although he has level three strength, he has too few skills."
You know, for a mage, the most important thing is various advanced spells.
Without spells, he can only use some normal attacks, and his combat effectiveness is quite weak.
"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I still have more than forty elite souls in my backpack, which is enough to kill all these mage apprentices."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing put all these scrolls into his backpack and prepared to return to the territory to summon again.
Then he moved on to the next thing.
It was a palm-sized bomb, but it was full of texture when held in the hand.
[Goblin Fragment Bomb (Blue)]
[Attack power: 1723~1854]
[With special effects ①: Explosion (after detonating, it will cause 100% damage to all enemies within 10 meters)]
[Attached special effect ②: Splash (after the bomb detonates, a large number of fragments will appear, causing 78% damage to enemies 20 meters around, and an additional layer of bleeding effect)]
…
Cao Xing thought: "Although this kind of bomb is only blue grade, its attack power is quite high."
"And the most important thing is that this bomb, unlike skills or other attacks, has a cooldown time."
"If you are proficient enough with the bombs in your hands, you can even directly kill the sixth-level commander or even a stronger one!"
Of course, this is just an assumption.
After all, the more powerful the being, the higher their armor and the faster their reaction ability.
Just like the group of snow mountain raiders who attacked Cao Xing today, even though the opponent had the terrain advantage, they were still blocked by their powerful strength.
Cao Xing put it into his backpack.
In addition, there is also a high-level power heart among the loot.
It just so happened that many of his subordinates were stuck at level 30, and they all needed this thing to break through.
So, he first gave Elisa the [Wither Spirit Longbow (gold)] that Rhaenys had replaced.
Then he handed her the Heart of Advanced Power in his hand.
Elisa took these two things, and a surprised smile suddenly appeared on her face!
"Wow! This is something that can make me stronger!"
"And this bow and arrow are so powerful!"
"Thank you Lord Lord!"
Cao Xing smiled and said: "You have performed well recently, and this is your reward."
"Now, just use this heart of power to break through."
"Yes, handsome lord!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she directly crushed the heart of power and entered a breakthrough state.
Cao Xing continued to clean the battlefield, picking up all the clothes and weapons of the looters.
[Obtained: damaged jute cotton clothes*42]
[Obtain: Damaged linen cotton clothes*23]
[Obtain: Snow Mountain Marauder standard weapons (knives, swords, guns, bows)*62]
[Obtain: Goblin Fragment Bomb*18]
…
"Yes, I got dozens more sets of cotton clothes and a dozen bombs."
"Although these cotton clothes are damaged, just go back and let Yanni and Elena sew them up."
Cao Xing looked towards him happily.
At this time, Renes walked over and said: "Lord, I sensed that the location of the hunting mark is one or two kilometers ahead. Do you need me to check it out first?"
Sarah next to her said, "Me too."
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, you go."
After receiving permission, the two women looked at each other with a faint smile on their faces, and then walked directly into the forest ahead.
Cao Xing looked at their backs and felt something strange.
The relationship between these two women seems to be getting better and better.
Cao Xing also discovered that not only them, but also the people under his command had become much closer.
Many people have found friends who share their interests.
For example, Bronn and Assam, Centaur and Wild Boar Warrior, Elisa and Tong Chuchu, etc...
For Cao Xing, this is also a good thing.
After all, your territory is equivalent to a big family.
While everyone is loyal to themselves, they find friends they get along with, and they can communicate more and increase their sense of belonging.
As I thought about it, time began to pass slowly.
After a few minutes.
As Elisa was making a breakthrough, a strong aura of ice suddenly rose from her body.
It was like an arrow of ice being shot out, with a heart-shaking sense of threat.
[Your territory member: Elisa breaks through successfully and has become a fourth-level boss-level creature, with basic attributes increased by 100%]
[Because its attributes have been greatly improved, primary bow and arrow proficiency has been upgraded to intermediate bow and arrow proficiency...]
…
Elisa opened her blue eyes, then walked over with a bow and arrow and said happily: "I succeeded, Lord Lord!"
"Congratulations, keep working hard and strive to break through to the fifth level as soon as possible."
Cao Xing encouraged with a smile.
Elisa nodded heavily, "Yeah! I will try my best!"
After saying that, everyone continued to wait where they were.
After a few minutes.
The figures of Sarah and Rhaenys appeared in front.
The two women quickly came over and reported: "Lord, we have found the entrance to the camp of this group of marauders."
"However, there was a barrier blocking us there, so we didn't go in to explore."
"Boundary?"
"Yes, the strength of this barrier is relatively high. Even if Sarah and I join forces, it will take some time to break it."
After hearing this, Cao Xing thought for a moment, and then said directly: "I understand, take us directly there."
"As you command, Lord."
After saying that, everyone followed Sarah and Renes and walked towards the dense forest.
Bron, the bloody bull, walked at the front of the team holding a shield.
After entering the dense forest, they took many twists and turns.
There is no fixed route in the dense forest, and there are often forks in the road.
If it weren't for the hunting longbow equipped by Renes, which had a [Hunting Mark] special effect, it would have been impossible to find the location of the predators' camp.
Under Rhaenys's induction, they quickly reached their destination.
Everyone saw several small sentinel towers appearing at the foot of the mountain ahead, with several archers also wearing animal skins and horn helmets standing on them.
Behind the sentry tower is a giant hole about two to three meters wide and six meters high!
"Is this here?" Cao Xing asked.
Lenis replied: "Yes, according to my senses, that guy is in the cave now."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, without covering up, and directly led the people towards the entrance of the cave in a swaggering manner.
The Snow Mountain Marauders on duty at the door also discovered Cao Xing and others, and their expressions suddenly changed!
"Damn it! These are the guys that leader Savage was talking about, and they are coming now!"
"What should we do? Our camp location has been exposed!"
"We are no match for this group of people. Go into the camp quickly and inform the leader!"
These snow mountain predators didn't even fight. They jumped down from the sentry tower and then got into the cave.
Cao Xing didn't stop him.
On the one hand, it is because they are inside the barrier, and on the other hand, because they will enter the cave next, they will also be exposed.
Then, he led people directly to the entrance of the passage.
An invisible energy shield appeared, blocking everyone's way.
Cao Xing looked at the attributes.
【Mountain Soul Barrier】
[Armor: 3000]
[Durability: 150000/150000]
[Additional effect ①: Level 5 ultra-limited rune (immune to attacks below level 5)]
[Attached special effect ②: Mountain Soul (for every 10,000 decrease in durability, a mountain soul with level 5 strength will be summoned to attack the enemy)]
…
"This barrier is a bit interesting. Not only does it have a special effect of being immune to attacks, but as the durability drops, it will also summon mountain spirits to attack us."
There was a smile on Cao Xing's lips.
To be honest, until now, he didn't know how the barrier was formed.
If possible, he would also like to create a barrier to protect his territory.
Francesca should know, after all, there was a large barrier near her castle. Cao Xing decided to ask this woman when she went back.
Shaking his head, Cao Xing pushed away his thoughts and focused on the [Mountain Soul Barrier] in front of him.
With a durability of 150,000, it does take a while to break.
Sarah and Assam said at the same time: "Lord, do you need us to take action?"
"Need not."
After saying that, Cao Xing took out a hairpin with a round surface and a slight shine from his backpack.
It’s the [Vivian’s Hairpin (Orange)] that I obtained last time at the Witch’s Castle.
This thing is like an artifact to deal with these barriers.
Cao Xing held it in his hand and stabbed it directly.
"Bo!"
There was a crisp cracking sound.
This layer of barrier quickly dissipated like a burst bubble.
Elisa looked at the hairpin in Cao Xing's hand curiously and exclaimed: "What a beautiful hairpin!"
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Let's go in."
Just when he was about to step into the cave.
Assam and Bronn next to them said at the same time: "Lord, please let us open the way ahead."
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay."
Assam, holding the legendary weapon, and Bronn, holding the giant shield, were at the forefront.
Everyone followed them into the cave.
As soon as he entered, Cao Xing felt waves of warmth coming from him.
At the same time, the light also became a little dim.
A system prompt appears.
[You have entered the special area: Predator Camp]
[Danger Level: Moderate]…
The medium level of danger indicates that the creatures inside pose little threat to Cao Xing.
He glanced at the temperature above his head.
[Current temperature: 8℃]
The temperature difference in the cave is dozens of degrees different from that outside. In the deep mountains with the biting cold wind, there is a place like this, which is simply a holy place.
"It's a nice place. No wonder these guys have been able to live in the mountains for so long and dominate the mountains."
Cao Xing began to observe the environment inside.
The passage is wide.
It is three to four meters wide and about six meters high.
It can accommodate a dozen people walking side by side.
There were burning torches on the cave walls, making them highly visible.
Along the bright passage, everyone moved forward, almost dozens of meters away.
Suddenly there was a burst of sound from the front!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Dozens of arrows were shot directly at them without any warning.
Seeing this scene, no one panicked.
Because they already knew that their traces had been exposed.
Cao Xingxia led: "Bron, stop them."
Bronn roared.
"Ancestor Ice Giant, give me strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body grew rapidly.
Then he held a huge [Evil Eye Shield] and blocked a large number of arrows.
Benedict! Tuk Tuk!
Those arrows landed on Bronn's head, causing a triple-digit amount of damage.
Compared to his blood volume, it is completely worthless.
However, some of the arrows were still missing and were aimed at everyone.
Isabel, who was behind, raised her staff and said, "The Holy Light will protect us."
A [Holy Light Ember Shield] emitting golden light suddenly appeared, blocking all the remaining arrows.
Isabel's skill is really useful. While blocking damage, it can also push monsters and detonate shields, causing damage.
At the same time, Cao Xing and others also saw clearly the appearance of the enemy.
It was a group of snow-capped mountain raider archers wearing horned helmets, numbering around thirty or forty people.
They saw that their first wave of attacks had no effect, and a look of shock suddenly appeared in their eyes.
"It's exactly what leader Savage said. These people are very powerful, and they are all monsters!"
"Come on, let's go to the back of the passage!"
After saying that, these archers prepared to retreat.
However, Bronn slapped the shield in his hand and laughed: "Aha, I see you!"
At this moment, in his ice giant form, he rushed out like a bulldozer.
"Boom!"
When the group of plunderers saw the charging Bronn, there was a look of horror in their eyes!
One of the archers quickly ordered: "Don't panic! Shoot the arrows! Keep shooting the arrows!"
call out! Phew!
A lot of arrows came.
at the same time.
The archers stared at Bronn's feet with a trace of expectation in their eyes, as if they were waiting for something.
But Braun held up his shield and was fearless at all. He blocked a large number of arrows and rushed forward!
At this moment, his feet seemed to step on something.
"Tsk..."
In an instant, Cao Xing smelled the smell of gunpowder.
"Bron, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Bronn could react, a patch of fire appeared under his feet.
"Boom! Boom!"
Violent explosions sounded one after another.
A large number of damage figures appeared from above Braum's head.
【-752】
【-1124】
【-845】
【-1162】
【-1252】
…
Seeing this scene, the predator archer behind laughed and said, "Haha, this guy stepped on our bomb trap!"
"Keep attacking, I'm going to turn this guy into a hedgehog!"
call out! Phew!
More arrows shot into the smoke, as if they wanted to take advantage of the victory.
Dozens of three-digit damage figures appeared, and Braum withstood two waves of arrow fire, plus a wave of bomb traps.
The blood volume has indeed dropped a bit.
And just then.
Liu Muxue behind her raised her hand and used [Holy Healing Technique], and Isabel raised her hand and used [Chain of Holy Light].
Two reply numbers appeared above Bloom's head.
+6629
+5231
…
In the blink of an eye, his blood volume increased again.
Not only that, more than 2,000 reply data each appeared on Bloom's head.
The group of archers still persevered in drawing their bows and arrows, with the joy of victory in their eyes.
Then, they saw a scene they would never forget.
A tall giant with a naked upper body, grinning at the corners of his mouth, stepped out through the thick smoke.
Moreover, he even looked unscathed.
At this moment, the group of archers were stunned.
"Mountain God! What kind of monster is this?"
"He withstood so many goblin bombs and so many arrow attacks from us, why didn't anything happen?"
"Is this person immortal?"
Bronn blew his beard, "Little mice, are your attacks tickling me?"
Upon hearing these words, this group of snow mountain raider archers suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.
"Retreat...retreat!"
They turned around without hesitation and wanted to escape from here.
At this moment, Cao Xing raised his staff and directly released an [Ice Wall Technique].
And, most importantly, his [Ice Wall Technique] was released behind them.
When the group of predators reacted, they suddenly found a thick wall of ice, completely blocking their way.
At this moment, a look of horror appeared in the predator's eyes.
"Damn it! Why did there suddenly appear an ice wall!"
"Attack! Attack quickly! Destroy this ice wall!"
They attacked frantically.
However, the durability of [Ice Wall Technique] is Cao Xing's Spirit*10, which means that this ice wall has a durability of more than 20,000.
Even with their damage, it would take a few seconds to break through.
Cao Xing said casually: "Go ahead and kill these guys."
The words fell.
Bojie held the giant ax in his hand, made a leap, and jumped out suddenly.
"Boom!"
The giant ax carried boundless power and directly smashed a huge pit on the spot!
At least a dozen archers were directly knocked away by this blow!
Sarah, the powerful Assam, and Andrew in the owl beast form launched various terrifying attacks one after another.
All members of Cao Xing's team are at least boss level or above.
The opponents were just a group of fourth-level ordinary archers.
Obviously, this is a battle without any suspense.
"Puff! Puff!"
The snow mountain predators fell one by one.
He was beaten almost to the point of being unable to fight back.
Kill information also keeps appearing.
[Members of your territory: Bertie Sun Chaser killed Snow Mountain Marauder lv38, a fourth-level elite creature, killed monsters by leapfrogging, and gained experience points: 3800*2]
[Combatants gain experience points: 1900]
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dancer...]
…
Two minutes later.
The battle is over.
A large number of corpses of snow marauders were lying on the ground.
Cao Xing walked over and continued to collect the trophies on the ground.
[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*8]
[Obtain: Snow Mountain Marauder’s Elite Soul*2]
[Obtain: Third-level Earth Mage Apprentice Recruitment Scroll*3]
[Obtain: Goblin Fragment Bomb*17]
[Obtain: Advanced Element Crystal*4]
[Obtain: Intermediate element crystal*12]
[Obtained: Damaged jute cotton clothes*41]
[Obtain: Coins*7822]
…
"I harvested dozens more sets of clothes and three recruitment scrolls."
"If we push away all the looters in this camp, we will probably be able to gather a team of ten earth mages."
Cao Xing thought happily.
"Okay, okay, let's move on."
Along this passage, they turned around and entered several spacious areas.
These areas are blocked by some caltrops and fences, which seem to be the defensive points of the camp.
However, all the snow mountain predators inside have run away.
They are also unimpeded and continue to move forward.
There is a detour in the passage ahead.
Just when they were about to enter this corner.
Rhaenys suddenly reminded.
"Lord, please wait a moment. There are a lot of traps in the passage ahead."
After hearing this, everyone stopped.
Their eyes cast away.
But they found that it was just a flat ground, and there was no trace of any trap at all.
And Cao Xing has the [Eye of True Seeing].
Scanning the area, he found a large number of traps as Renes said.
[Level 4 Spike Trap], [Level 4 Rockfall Trap], [Level 4 Sting Trap], [Level 4 Explosion Trap]...
Cao Xing nodded, "There are indeed many traps, and the damage of these fourth-level traps is quite high."
After hearing this, Bronn immediately patted his chest and said, "Lord, let Bronn rush over directly!"
"Those traps can't hurt Bronn."
Triggering all traps once is also a method.
At this time, Sarah said calmly: "Let me do it, I can handle these traps."
Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Compared to Bronn's brute force destruction, Sarah is more reliable.
After Sarah heard this, she directly entered the [Moon Dance] form.
Buzz!
The power of the dark moon came, making Sarah's movements more flexible.
I saw her walking over casually and deliberately triggering the traps one by one.
[Ground Thorn Trap] is triggered.
The ground suddenly sunk into a large area, and underneath there were many venomous spikes standing upright.
At this time, Sarah jumped up safely with a quick and flexible jump.
Then, she triggered the [Spike Trap] again.
The spikes on both sides of the wall shot out instantly, but Sarah dodged past them at a faster speed.
Following the same pattern, Sarah walked all the way, and various traps were constantly triggered.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The sounds of falling rocks and explosions were endless.
And Sarah was also dodging flexibly.
Of course, even if there is someone you can't dodge, just use the holy shield on your body to resist.
Soon, she dismantled at least a dozen traps along the way.
Then, Sarah came over unscathed.
She said calmly: "Everything has been dismantled."
After hearing this, Cao Xing also praised: "Well done, Sarah."
As expected of a fifth-level commander-level assassin, this efficiency is really fast.
Then, they continued towards the depths of the passage and walked in.
…
