Chapter 300 The battle between sand sculpture players and Duolun Lake City (6200)
At this time, Cao Xing had already entered the blacksmith shop.
Harold, the craftsman, is still working hard.
After saying hello to him briefly.
Cao Xing went straight to the storage box area and took out all the arrows inside.
[Obtain: Finely Forged Nightmare Arrows (Green)*1831]
[Obtain: Finely Forged Nightmare Arrows (Blue)*329]
[Obtain: Finely Forged Nightmare Arrows (Purple)*115]
…
"Yes, so many arrows are enough for me to exchange for a lot of resources."
With a look of joy, Cao Xing quickly left the blacksmith shop and went straight to the medicine refining workshop.
At this moment, the lights of the medicine refining workshop were still on, and it looked like there were people working inside.
As Cao Xing opened the door.
"Crunch!"
As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the warm air from the heating pipes mixed with the fragrance of herbs.
Cao Xing couldn't help but take a few sips, and suddenly felt refreshed!
Then he walked in directly.
There was no furnace set up in the alchemy workshop because Francesca said that overheating would affect the quality and success rate of the secret elixir.
So Cao Xing had it demolished.
However, there are heating pipes and the temperature inside is at a comfortable level.
The light above the head seemed a little dim.
The entire atmosphere of the alchemy workshop has a faint blue hue.
There is a bubbling witch's cauldron in the middle.
Next to it, Cao Xing also saw animal teeth, eyeballs, and old leather shoes, which he didn't know what they were used for.
Look past these strange things.
Cao Xing saw a tall beauty in a burgundy dress in front of her.
She stood on tiptoes, stretched out her white neck, and searched on the shelves like a beautiful swan.
After noticing Cao Xing coming in, the beautiful witch made no other moves.
Cao Xing took the initiative and said, "Are you the only one? Where is Sabina?"
The beautiful witch replied without looking back: "She has insufficient mental strength and has almost reached her limit after working for a day, so I asked her to go back and rest."
Cao Xing nodded.
After all, refining medicine also requires mental energy.
"What's the matter?"
The witch still buried her head, rummaging through the shelves.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Can't I come over and see you if I have nothing to do?"
Upon hearing this, the witch stopped what she was doing, and the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
Francesca, who has half-elf blood, is truly breathtaking in her beauty.
Not even pure-blood elves can compare with her.
She turned her head.
A cold, eerie, and beautiful facial features appeared in front of Cao Xing.
"Are you really just here to see me?"
Francesca asked with interest.
This made Cao Xing a little embarrassed.
Francesca did not press the question, but chuckled and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
And Cao Xing didn't give in. He took out two formulas directly from his backpack.
One is [Holy Water] and the other is [Advanced Improved Life Secret Medicine].
"Take a look at these two formulas first."
Francesca took it gently, then looked at the formula, a slight look of shock gradually appeared in her eyes.
"This is...a holy water formula for the undead..."
"The other picture is actually an advanced version of that improved secret medicine!"
"It's interesting. It turns out that this alchemy master has also developed a more advanced secret medicine of life. I just don't know if he has improved the formulas of the expert-level and master-level secret medicine of life?"
She held her elbows and pressed her chin with her fingers, a curious look on her face.
Cao Xing shook his head, "I don't know about that."
"I want to ask you to make these two secret medicines."
"But there are two kinds of herbs in it, and I don't have any clue about them at the moment. They are Aurora Grass and Dragon's Blood Grass."
"You have been dealing with various herbal medicines all year round, so I wanted to ask if you have any clues?"
Hearing this, Francesca's long eyelashes fluttered, and a look of thought flashed in her pupils.
Then, the small purple mouth opened slightly and said slowly: "Aurora grass and dragon blood grass are relatively rare herbs."
"Aurora grass is a little easier to find. On the 4th, 14th, and 24th of every month... there will be beautiful auroras appearing in the sky."
"As long as you follow the direction in which these aurora fall, you can find the aurora grass."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
Aurora?
Speaking of which, the ecological environment of this world is very good.
Coupled with the low temperature environment, Cao Xing has seen several auroras appear at night during the time he came to this world.
It's really exceptionally beautiful.
They are like a bunch of colorful ribbons, fluttering lightly in the air
And sometimes it soars into the sky like a fountain, changing into various wonderful shapes, and sometimes it surges like smart waves, layer upon layer.
Auroras of various colors intertwine and merge with each other, making it a feast of colors.
At the same time, Francesca's cold voice brought him back to his senses.
"The other kind of dragon blood grass is a bit difficult to find."
"As the name suggests, dragon's blood grass is a type of grass that will only grow where the dragon's blood falls."
"The easiest way is to find an adult dragon, then take their blood and sprinkle it on the soil. Soon, dragon blood grass will grow in that place."
After listening to Francesca's explanation, Cao Xing also nodded suddenly.
This is indeed quite difficult.
You know, they witnessed the birth of a giant dragon during the day!
Moreover, he had a close encounter with the giant dragon.
It almost gives people a feeling of being able to destroy the world, so powerful that it is terrifying!
And if you want to make such a powerful creature bleed, you need not only strong strength, but also enough courage!
At least Cao Xing can't do it now.
But he thought of the totem that the woman gave him today.
The next time you summon her, can you let her share some of the dragon's blood with you?
But after thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. After all, she seemed to have a good relationship with the dragon.
For the dragon, she even killed the fallen mountain god directly!
He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll find a solution for these two herbs."
Francesca nodded lightly.
Then he said again: "By the way, there is one more thing."
"The ice luan petals stored in the warehouse have been used up, and all the secret medicine of life has been made."
"What do you need from me tomorrow?"
Cao Xing was also stunned after hearing this.
I prepared more than 500 ice luan flowers, which is at least more than 3,000 [ice luan flower petals], enough to make more than 3,000 bottles of the secret medicine of life.
As a result, Francesca used it up in just a few days.
This efficiency is really nothing to say.
Cao Xing replied: "There is nothing to do at the moment. You have worked hard these past two days. You can take a rest tomorrow."
Hearing this, the beautiful witch nodded slightly again.
However, her blue pupils flickered slightly, as if she had something to say to Cao Xing.
Cao Xing has dealt with many women so far.
Naturally, it can be seen that Francesca has something on her mind.
So, he asked directly: "Do you have anything else?"
Francesca whispered: "If possible, can you take me with you next time you go out?"
"You want to go out?" Cao Xing asked doubtfully.
Francesca nodded lightly, "During this time in the territory, I feel much better and can integrate into the outside world again."
"So I want to see how the outside world has changed after more than a hundred years..."
Cao Xing nodded.
"Okay, next time if I want to go out, I will take you with me."
After hearing this, the witch revealed a breathtaking smile again.
She bowed slightly and saluted Cao Xing.
Cao Xing looked at Francesca's clothes thoughtfully.
He took out two sets of dresses directly from his backpack.
One set is a vivid yellow, and the other is an aqua blue.
Francesca looked at the dress in Cao Xing's hand, a look of appreciation flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Is this... specially prepared for me?"
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I think you like this kind of clothes."
The corners of the beautiful witch's mouth curved again.
"Yes, I like wearing fluffy skirts like this."
Cao Xing smiled and said: "I gave it to you, please accept it."
Francesca was not polite either.
"Thanks for your consideration, I will accept it."
She stretched out her white hands and took the dress from Cao Xing's hand.
[Because of your gift, the territory member: Francesca has been impressed, and her loyalty has been increased. Current loyalty: 78]
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing also smiled.
Sure enough, giving gifts is the fastest way to increase the loyalty of these women.
Although this woman acted very calmly, she was actually very happy inside.
Shaking his head, he then went straight to the storage box in the territory and took out all the potions that Francesca and Sabina had refined in the past two days.
[Obtain: Improved version of the Secret Medicine of Life (medium)*2177]
[Obtain: Sabina's Nightmare Potion (Green)*334]
[Obtain: Sabina's Nightmare Potion (Blue)*77]
[Obtain: Sabina's Nightmare Potion (Purple)*12]
…In total, there are nearly 2,700 bottles of the secret elixir of life.
And this time there is a purple nightmare potion.
Cao Xing took a look and found that the purple potion could reduce the attack power by more than 500!
Even for a second-level leader-level creature, facing the toxicity of this potion, its attack power will be reduced by more than 80%!
Of course, the most valuable thing is naturally the more than two thousand bottles of the improved version of the secret medicine of life.
This can bring him huge profits!
Cao Xing thought to himself: "There is no threat during this construction week. It gives the survivors time to develop and explore."
"So, as of today, there are more and more survivors who have broken through to the third level."
"As they get stronger, these agents become less effective and the price decreases."
"So get rid of these potions as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing said: "I'm leaving, Francesca, please take care of yourself and rest."
The witch behind her pursed her lips slightly, seeming to find her lord very interesting.
As for Cao Xing, after leaving the medicine refining workshop, he went straight to the direction of the [Market].
On the way, he also opened the chat channel and took a look at the development of the survivors in the same district today.
As soon as I opened it, there was a huge amount of information pouring out.
Xuanyuan Xiaogang: "Brothers, I'm near Duolun Lake City. Wori, I saw a lot of soldiers and knights. The king's army is so strong! Are there any brothers who came here in advance and help me form a team?"
Yu Tiesheng: "Our brothers from the Black Wind Legion have arrived. Wherever you are, you can come and join us."
Wei Yao: "Add me, I'm also near Duolun Lake City."
"And me, the boss of the Black Wind Legion, take care of me!"
A large number of survivors who rushed to Duolun Lake City today signed up to join the [Black Wind Legion].
After surviving in this world for so many days, they all understood one key to survival.
Survivors working together as a team are much safer than fighting alone.
However, you have to find someone you can trust.
Although this Black Wind Legion is not very famous.
But compared to the aborigines of this world, they are still human survivors and feel more close to each other.
The other survivors who had not arrived yet or were watching were curious.
They all asked: "Brothers upstairs, how is the situation in Duolun Lake City? Is there a fight?"
"Yes, yes, I see many people have arrived in Duolun Lake City. How is the situation?"
Xuanyuan Xiaogang replied: "The fighting hasn't started yet, the Ice Crystal Kingdom's army has arrived, but they don't know what to do, so they didn't launch an attack."
Other survivors in Lake Duolun City also responded: "Yes, when we went to those officers to ask, he told us not to worry and find a place to wait."
"I estimate that we will launch an attack almost tomorrow."
After hearing the speeches of the above people, other survivors also had a look of surprise in their eyes.
"I see, I thought a fight had already begun."
"Yes, yes, our huge city has been occupied. These troops are really calm."
Xuanyuan Xiaogang continued: "But speaking of it, the army of the Ice Crystal Kingdom is really strong. This time, tens of thousands of soldiers have been mobilized, as well as two powerful knights!"
"Those knights are all terrifyingly powerful. When I scanned them, there were a lot of question marks. They must be at least fifth level in strength. Those soldiers were equally outrageous. They were all fourth and fifth level soldiers, and there were very few even third level ones. "
"Should I say that it really deserves to be the Ice Crystal Kingdom? There are so many strong men in it at any time."
Hearing everyone's descriptions, other survivors were also shocked!
For them, let alone the fifth level, the existences of the third level are strong, and the fourth level is completely invincible!
But now, the more than 20,000 soldiers all start at the lowest level of level three!
Those knights even started at level five!
With this power, even if all the survivors in Area 17 unite, they are no match.
Of course, except Cao Xing.
As a kingdom, the territory it rules is very vast and the population is large. Naturally, it has this background.
Others in Lake Duolun City also said: "That's not all! Haven't you seen those large war tools in the army?"
"Trebuchets, battering rams, and I also saw two cannons with a muzzle diameter of more than one meter!"
"If this kind of cannon is fired, I feel like it can even blow up a mountain directly!"
After this person finished speaking, the chat channel once again caused a cry of exclamation!
"Let me go. The Ice Crystal Kingdom is so powerful and they haven't launched an attack yet. What are they waiting for? If I had bombarded it on the spot, then let the knights rush over and bulldoze the city!"
"We don't know, but I think those cultists are definitely no match for the Kingdom Knights. There shouldn't be any danger in this situation."
"Damn, there are so many strong people. If only I had such strong strength, I could live a happier life than the emperor in this world."
"+1 upstairs, me too."
"If I had such strength, I would definitely work hard to save money, and then go to the main city of Yongshuang to be cool. I heard that there are taverns and some business places there, and there are even elves to serve you."
"Holy crap, is what the brother upstairs said true? I've long wanted to taste what it's like to be an elven clan!"
"Of course it's true, I'm telling you..."
As they talked, the topic was diverted by this group of sand sculpture players.
At this moment, the survivor of the [Black Wind Legion] spoke again: "Everyone, I just got the rumor that tomorrow afternoon, the Kingdom Knights will officially launch an attack!"
"This time the kingdom's army is well prepared and powerful. It will definitely crush the situation."
"We can get experience and honor points if we follow him and do a last-ditch hit."
"Brothers who want to take advantage of this opportunity to earn some honor points, come here quickly!"
After hearing this, the survivors also realized something.
"Yes, with the strength of the Ice Crystal Kingdom's army, it will definitely be able to defeat these cultists easily. This type of situation is generally not dangerous and has many benefits."
"Haha, brothers, charge together. Killing these cultists will not only give you a lot of experience, but also souls, hearts of power, and honor points!"
"I rushed to the brothers. It depends on this time whether the villa can be close to the sea!"
"..."
The survivors were extremely excited. Late at night, large groups of people began to set off, preparing to go to Lake Duolun City.
They were afraid that they would go too late and miss this opportunity.
At this moment, a speech attracted everyone's attention.
Cao Xing: "Everyone, if you want to go to Duolun Lake City to participate in the battle, please wait a moment."
There was a moment of silence in the chat channel.
As the recognized first person in District 17, he has won the first place in two ranking challenges.
The name Cao Xing can be said to be quite influential.
"Brothers, it's Boss Cao Xing, and he actually spoke!"
"Haha, the number of times this boss speaks in the chat channel is rare."
"Indeed, but every time the boss talks, he basically has something important to announce."
"Brothers, stop scrolling and watch what Mr. Cao Xing has to say."
"..."
After the lively chat channel cooled down a little.
Cao Xing coughed twice, then pretended to be serious and said: "Everyone, I just saw your chat. Many people want to go to Duolun Lake City to participate in the war."
"But before that, I want to remind you."
"It's right that you want to fight on the battlefield. Maybe you can get rich overnight and gain massive resources."
"But you should know that opportunities and dangers coexist."
"On such a large battlefield, if you are not careful, you will lose your life."
"And this time, things may not be as simple as imagined."
"After all, even the Ice Crystal Kingdom's army did not launch an attack immediately, which shows that the enemy's strength is far more than as weak as it appears."
"I think before you go, you should carefully consider whether your strength can survive on such a battlefield."
"After all, I think most of you here have families and you should think about your families."
Hearing this, the survivors were slightly stunned.
Then the look of thinking appeared in many people's eyes.
If ordinary people try to persuade them, they may be regarded as having bad intentions and feel that the other party just doesn't want them to get too many resources.
But who is this? This is boss Cao Xing.
As the number one person in District 17, no one would think that the other person is this kind of person.
Therefore, the survivors also began to think.
This thought really made them realize that something was wrong.
After all, as Cao Xing said, if it was really a downwind situation, why did the Ice Crystal Kingdom's army have to wait for so long.
Why call those rangers, mercenaries, and even survivors over?
The current behavior of the Church of Light can be said to have slapped the Ice Crystal Kingdom hard and stepped on their faces.
You know, there are several neighboring kingdoms near the Ice Crystal Kingdom.
A huge city was massacred. It was impossible to hide this kind of thing.
Basically all the nearby kingdoms knew about it.
Therefore, if we cannot take back Lake Duolun City as soon as possible, our neighboring countries will laugh.
Under normal circumstances, the kingdom's army would have launched an attack as soon as they arrived to prove their strength and wash away their shame.
Now, however, something seems very wrong.
Many people are also dazzled by the honor point rewards, thinking that following the kingdom soldiers is equivalent to picking up money and experience.
Now that Cao Xingyi reminded them, they realized that things might not be that simple.
"I'll go... What Boss Cao Xing said makes sense! Based on this analysis, it looks like the Ice Crystal Kingdom is gathering cannon fodder to die!"
"Indeed, is there something in that city that they are afraid of?"
"Do it! I won't go, I know there is no free pie in the sky."
"I won't participate anymore. I finally have a construction week for me to develop. I don't want to lose my life so quickly."
"If you don't go, I will go. Anyway, I am alone and have no family to worry about. If I make money this time, I will become famous immediately!"
"I'll go too. Damn, try your best, otherwise you won't be able to survive this life."
…
In the chat channel, everyone had different reactions.
Many people have given up the idea of going to Duolun Lake City.
But there was also a part of me that felt that I should seize this opportunity and did not listen to Cao Xing's dissuasion.
Some people even think that Cao Xing is meddling in other people's business.
After all, the fewer people who go to Duolun Lake City, the weaker the survivors will be, and they will not be able to gain much benefit on the battlefield.
Of course Cao Xing knew this would be the result.
He didn't really advise these survivors, he just mentioned it casually.
For Cao Xing, these people are good leeks for sustainable development.
It is an important way for him to quickly obtain resources.
Compared to the aboriginal people, Cao Xing wanted more survivors to survive.
At this time, Cao Xing pretended to sigh and said, "I know some people will definitely go."
"However, before heading to the battlefield of Duolun Lake City, I suggest you bring something to save your life."
"Recently, our territory has been doing its best to produce around the clock, exhausting the resources in the territory and producing more than two thousand bottles of the secret medicine of life..."
