Chapter 213 Post-war construction and prosperity (7000)
Cao Xing said: "Let's do this, I'll give you a chance."
"Next, you will work hard for me in the territory for three months."
"And as a reward, I will find a way to help you increase your strength to the fourth level."
"Then I allow you to go back and save your family. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me, how about that?"
At this moment, when Sabina heard Cao Xing say that he wanted to help her improve to the fourth level of strength, she thought she was hallucinating.
And when she heard the next sentence, she froze on the spot.
"You...what did you say?"
"Are you willing to help me upgrade to the fourth level, and are you willing to let me go back to save people?"
There was intense disbelief in her voice.
Cao Xing nodded.
For him, he only bought Sabina because of her [Advanced Poison Technique] skill.
At his current rate of development, in three months' time, the strength of the territory will probably increase by an unknown number of times.
At that time, a high-level poison master will be of little use.
It's okay to let her go.
After receiving Cao Xing's affirmation, Sabina took a few deep breaths.
She asked tentatively again: "Really...really only need to work for three months?"
Cao Xing replied: "Yes, but the premise is that you work hard."
When Sabina heard this, she immediately said excitedly: "I will work hard. No matter what you ask me to do, I will try my best to complete it!"
"Thank you, kind lord!"
[Due to your promise, territory member: Sabina’s loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 71]
…
Seeing the system prompts, Cao Xing also smiled.
Then, he nodded and said: "Very good, you can go back to the room to take care of your wounds now."
"Everyone else can leave as well."
After receiving Cao Xing's order, the women looked at each other, then turned and left.
Sabina slowly stood up.
Then he took out a small bottle from his pocket.
"This is detoxification powder. Apply it to the wound of this Snake Tribe lady and it will quickly remove the toxins on it."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then took it over.
[Obtain: Detoxification Powder (Blue)*1]
I looked at the properties.
[Detoxification powder (blue): can relieve some common poisoning conditions]
…
Although the toxin attack caused by Sabina is not strong, Liu Muxue can solve it with a purification spell.
But it would be much more convenient if you have this detoxification powder.
Under Cao Xing's order, everyone gradually dispersed.
Go back to your room if you need to, and rest if you need to.
Cao Xing looked at the snake girl next to him and said, "Ilena, come with me."
After hearing this, Ilena nodded obediently, then twisted her snake tail and followed Cao Xing.
…
In the room, Cao Xing opened the bottle cap and poured white powder on Ilena's wound.
At this moment, this beautiful snake girl was half lying on the bed.
The snake tail of the lower body was placed firmly on Cao Xing's thigh, and he stared at Cao Xing with a pair of narrow eyes.
Those eyes are not scary, but add a bit of strange beauty to them.
[Detoxification Powder] works very well.
Soon the toxin effect on Ilena's wound disappeared.
Cao Xing clapped his hands and said, "Okay Ilena, you have ice therapy and you will be back to normal soon."
"It was a good performance today."
Cao Xing praised.
Hearing this, the snake girl in front of her covered her face and chuckled.
"Lord, if I perform well, can I give you some rewards?"
Cao Xing was stunned, "What reward do you need?"
Speaking of which, Ilena is now a level 30 elite.
The only improvement currently is to change her weapon or give her a boss-level soul.
But Cao Xing has already used up these.
We can only wait until tomorrow to see if we can get a boss soul to come over.
But at this moment.
A snake tail covered with white scales had already wrapped around it, binding Cao Xing's waist.
Elena raised her upper body and quickly approached.
Then, Cao Xing saw an exotic face with black eyeshadow appearing in front of him.
The two looked at each other.
Cao Xing felt the heat in the eyes of the beauty in front of him.
"The reward is...this..."
After saying that, Ilena took the initiative to kiss her.
Their lips touched.
At this moment, Cao Xing felt a completely different smell.
It's not fishy, but a cool mint-like smell.
It makes people subconsciously want to taste more.
After a moment, she took the initiative to grab Cao Xing's arm and covered it on her proud chest.
The body temperature of snake people is very low.
Get a piece of ice-cold and creamy...
Let Cao Xing gradually grasp it.
"Well..."
A seductive voice came from Ilena's mouth.
The graceful figure is also twisting inadvertently.
This also aroused the fire in Cao Xing's heart.
With a 'chila' sound.
The last covering of the beauty in her arms disappeared.
A dazzlingly white body was revealed.
Cao Xing hugged him into his arms and instantly felt a cold feeling...
"Lord, are you cool?"
Ilena seemed to be aware of her own physique, and there was some worry in her eyes, as well as a hint of hidden inferiority.
However, Cao Xing shook his head and chuckled: "It's okay."
Hearing this, Ilena's eyes filled with joy again.
The two had a warm relationship.
Then, she turned around and slowly lowered her head.
Cao Xing only felt a cold but soft touch.
Since it feels different from Xia Yanni and others.
Ilena’s package…
It's like a cool spring water in a warm room, constantly washing...
Cao Xing held down the soft hair with one hand, allowing the source to go deeper...
…
late at night……
Cao Xing didn't know how he came back.
Anyway, he left Ilena's room in a daze, then returned to his own cabin and fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until about nine o'clock the next day before getting up.
Cao Xing opened his eyes first.
The beauty beside the pillow was lying on her side in his arms, her eyes were closed tightly, her eyelashes were slightly moving, and she seemed to be sleeping very soundly.
At the same time, Liu Muxue gradually woke up from her sleep.
The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a rare warmth.
Regarding what happened with Ilena last night.
Cao Xing didn't think much about it.
Because of Ilena's snake-human body, they did not take the last step.
He simply comforted her.
It is normal for a lord to care about his subordinates, right?
Cao Xing smiled.
Then, he opened the system interface and looked through the system prompts to see if he had missed any important information.
[Attention all survivors: You have passed the eighth day of the official period. 】
[Weather forecast: Today’s temperature is -46°C to -57°C, light wind, it is recommended to go out]
…
It's still a daily reminder, but there is no important information.
Cao Xing said cheerfully: "The weather is pretty good today. It seems we can go out now."
Liu Muxue blinked her beautiful eyes after hearing this, and then asked softly: "Axing, where are we going today?"
After hearing this question, Cao Xing also thought for a moment.
Speaking of which, he really should go out today.
After all, there was a primary question before him.
That is to get a lot of [Advanced Power Hearts] and [Intermediate Power Hearts].
After last night's battle, almost everyone in the entire territory has reached the upper limit of their current level, and they can no longer gain experience by killing monsters.
The heart of strength is urgently needed to break through.
And Cao Xing only has two high-level power hearts in his hands.
And this thing has a chance of failure.
Cao Xing thought to himself: "According to predictions, there are several places where I can obtain resources and then use them to improve myself."
"For example, get some bait, find new waters to fish, and then use the fish meat you catch to exchange resources with other survivors."
"Or, go to the nearby city, Melind City, sell a batch of things in my hand, and see if I can buy some gold equipment or something."
"The other thing is to explore the Witch Forest and explore the ancient battlefield that Yao Yiming mentioned. I can even continue to bulldoze other safari camps."
For Cao Xing, there are many ways to become stronger, and they are not limited to staying in the territory to farm ice nest monsters.
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
That is, go to the Witch Forest first.
After all, the monsters in that forest are of very high levels, and the probability of them bursting out with high-level power hearts is also higher.
Moreover, there are monsters like ice crystal human-faced trees that are full of treasures.
In addition, there is a witch whose existence has been confirmed.
This time his strength skyrocketed.
Cao Xing also wanted to find out what kind of secrets this forest hides.
So, he said directly: "Get up, Muxue, let's go to the Witch Forest today."
Hearing this, the beauty in front of her nodded obediently.
She never interferes with Cao Xing's opinions.
As long as Cao Xing makes a decision and Liu Muxue follows him, it will be fine.
This is also her cleverness.
Although Liu Muxue was an affiliated lord of this territory and had certain authority, she would never use it.
Everything in this territory is decided by Cao Xing.
Of course, Liu Muxue also has his own important role.
That is to protect Cao Xing personally.
In fact, her fighting ability is not weak, but in comparison, Cao Xing is more worried about his own life.
I would rather have one less combat power in the battle to ensure my own safety.
The two washed up and walked out of the lord's cabin.
…
As soon as we walked out of the hut, the huge temperature difference made people shiver.
Although they have been living in this world for more than half a month, this extreme cold weather is still a bit uncomfortable.
Cao Xing took out a [Cloud Yak Coat] from his backpack and put it on Liu Muxue.
It made her whole person look graceful and luxurious.
Feeling the heat emanating from this coat, a look of surprise appeared on Liu Muxue's pretty face.
"Thank you, Axing."
Cao Xing rubbed her head and chuckled, "Thank you for what."
Cao Xing still has 7 coats of this kind in his backpack. According to Old Mel, each coat is priceless, and its price is no less than a [Moonlight Orb], which starts at 500,000 crowns.
The coats in Guang Caoxing's backpack are worth millions of crowns.
Cao Xing is also looking forward to meeting new wandering caravans as soon as possible.
This time, he is going to buy a lot of goods from these merchants!
While thinking about this, he led Liu Muxue around the territory.
In the current territory, all roads have been paved with floor tiles, which make a 'treading' sound when stepped on.
Compared to the previous muddy ground, the entire territory looked cleaner and more beautiful.
The Tree Spirit Sisters are hanging two [Winter Pumpkins] in front of each house, which not only has a decorative effect, but also provides lighting at night.
Dozens of polar people and other staff are all working enthusiastically.
"Lord, I wish you well."
"Madam Lord, you are as spotless and extraordinarily beautiful as the dewdrops in the morning today."
When these people see them, they will greet them respectfully.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue would also smile and nod to them.
As the two gradually passed through the entire territory. Cao Xing also noticed that there were several more building foundations in the territory.
Three or four polar people were busy building there.
That was the prototype of the [Mage Tower], [Knight Hall], and [King Altar].
Obviously, the leader Cao Yi has already arranged today's work for all the staff.
The entire territory is in a prosperous development scene.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."
"Now that the territory's infrastructure is almost complete, the next step is to build various high-end buildings and continue to improve the territory's strength."
To Cao Xing's surprise, the newly joined slaves also began the work of repairing the city wall under the command of Da Zhuang.
There were too many Ice Nest monsters last night. Although Cao Xing's defense was very strong, some Ice Nest monsters still rushed to the foot of the city wall.
These ice nest monsters caused some damage to the city wall, and some resources need to be consumed to repair it.
There is also the peasant woman ‘Mbo’, who is also following Dahua to prepare today’s food.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing nodded secretly.
"Very good, it seems they have developed some sense of belonging to my territory."
Of course, Cao Xing is not ready to have more contact with them yet.
As long as they don't think about escaping, Cao Xing won't do anything to them.
Gradually, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue came to an empty area in the territory.
Then he shouted, "Combatants, assemble!"
After hearing Cao Xing's order, more than two hundred people came over in a crowd.
More than a hundred Ascalon soldiers, more than a hundred wild boar warriors, including other territorial backbones, were all looking at Cao Xing with firm eyes.
Cao Xing said directly: "I am going out today and will take some people out with me."
Hearing this, everyone had a look of expectation in their eyes, as if they hoped that Cao Xing could take them out together today.
Then he went straight to naming names.
"Sarah, Rhaenys, Hilda, Isabelle, Bronn, Assam, Andrew, Blot, Rab, Jonard, Jocent, Eliza."
A total of twelve names.
These are the backbone of his territory, and all members must be at least level 30 bosses!
With a lot of BUFFs from Cao Xing, their true combat power is completely treated as a level 40 boss.
This is quite a terrifying force.
Those whose names were called by Cao Xing all had gentle smiles on their faces.
They all felt honored to fight alongside Cao Xing.
And those who were not named were not discouraged.
They just hope that they can become stronger faster.
Then next time, when the lord goes out, he can take them with him.
Elisa said excitedly: "Wow! The lord is finally willing to take me out, that's great!"
After saying that, she looked at the archer team behind her with her hands on her hips, and said proudly: "Hmph! Did you see that? I just said that I am so powerful, the lord will definitely take me out!"
Elisa's [Ice Explosive Arrow] has a high damage coefficient and can be charged. This is the main reason why Cao Xing took her out.
The archers all had awkward smiles on their faces.
"Captain Elisa is right, you are very powerful."
"Yes, Captain Elisa is the most powerful archer."
Hearing their praise, Elisa touched her head sheepishly and said: "It's not... not as powerful as you said, hehehehe..."
Seeing the little girl's proud look, Cao Xing reminded: "Elisa, it's not as casual outside as in the territory."
"Remember, all actions are subject to my command, and all your skills must be released according to my instructions. Do you understand?"
Elisa immediately straightened up, "Understood! Lord!"
Seeing the little girl's non-standard standing action, Cao Xing couldn't help but smile.
Then, he took out the [Spar Plate Armor] that Liu Muxue had not yet put on, and asked.
"Bron, Assam, which one of you wants this armor?"
This plate armor is only suitable for melee units like them.
Bronn touched his bald head and laughed: "Lord, Bronn doesn't like to wear clothes. This will affect my ability to show off my muscles."
"You'd better give it to the Assamese Knights."
Cao Xing was speechless.
He also discovered that since he summoned Broon, he had been in a state of naked upper body.
No matter how cold the weather was, nothing could stop him from getting naked.
Of course, this may also be related to Braun's talent: [Ice Bloodline].
He casually handed the plate armor in his hand to Assam.
The knight took it respectfully.
Then, Cao Xing took out two fist-sized, crimson-colored crystals.
These are his only two [Hearts of Advanced Power].
He and Liu Muxue were not going to use it.
Compared with them, the improvement of these leader-level beings who broke through the fourth level is obviously greater.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said: "Sarah, Andrew."
The two stood up respectfully.
Cao Xing continued: "You are the earliest members to follow me. Now, use this heart of power to break through to the fourth level."
Sarah and Andrew took it at the same time.
Sarah said with a complex expression: "Among our dark elf tribe, the fourth-level phantom assassin leader is already considered a strong one."
"I thought that I would never have the opportunity to come into contact with this realm again..."
Then she whispered, "Thank you."
Andrew also said with emotion: "Yes, the fourth-level Druid leader is the strongest existence in our tribe, except for the clan leader."
"It's hard to imagine that half a month ago I was just a second-level druid."
"Andrew thanks the Lord for his cultivation!"
Both of them attach great importance to breaking through the fourth level!
Cao Xing smiled and said: "Don't be too happy yet. Although the probability of success of this thing is very high, there is still a probability of failure, so you must be prepared."
After hearing this, the two of them also had a faint smile on their faces.
Then, they directly crushed the [Heart of Advanced Power] in their hands.
"Crack! Click!"
The next moment, an extremely pure red energy flowed into their bodies.
On the field, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were watching them.
They are also very curious about the transformation from the third level to the fourth level.
After waiting for a few minutes.
An amazing aura suddenly appeared from Sarah!
Like a sharp-edged dagger, just looking at it gives people a stinging feeling!
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance breaks through successfully and has become a fourth-level creature, with basic attributes increased by 100%]
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of surprise!
He quickly checked Sarah’s attributes.
[Phantom Assassin: Sarah Blade Dance]
[Race: Dark Elf]
[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level 4 leader-level creature)]
[Detailed attributes: click to expand]
…
Strong! Unprecedentedly powerful!
Obviously, this is the most powerful creature under Cao Xing!
Breaking through 60,000 HP, almost breaking through 4,000 attacks.
Plus, there are a bunch of permanent statuses on her status bar.
This makes this powerful phantom assassin almost without any shortcomings!
At the same time, Cao Xing also noticed Sarah’s skill list.
There is an additional skill called [Shadow Step].
Cao Xing asked happily: "Sarah, have you learned a new skill?"
Last time, Cao Xing gave Sarah a [Assassin's Manual (Orange)], which recorded many powerful skills.
Sarah pursed her lips into a smile, then nodded lightly, "Yes, I accidentally gained some insights during the battle last night, and then I went back to practice a few more times at night, and I learned this skill."
"Awesome! You are truly the strongest assassin!"
Cao Xing did not hesitate to praise him.
This [Shadow Step] is also a stealth skill that can speed up movement by 50%.
Combined with Sarah's [Phantom Invisibility], she can truly become a top killer who comes and goes without a trace.
Sarah seemed embarrassed by his praise, her lips moved slightly, and then she lowered her head.
However, at this time, the breath on Andrew's body suddenly stopped.
He walked over dejectedly and said with a guilty look on his face: "Lord...I..."
Cao Xing was also stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that with such a high success rate of [Heart of Advanced Power], Andrew would actually fail.
Speaking of which, Andrew failed once whether he was trying to break through the boss or not.
Yes, every time he transformed, he brought great help to Cao Xing.
Cao Xing smiled and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, Andrew."
"In our East, there is an old saying that good things come in vain."
"Although you encountered some difficulties every time you transformed, you also gained great strength."
"It's the same this time."
Hearing Cao Xing's comfort, Andrew was stunned for a moment.
Then he said with emotion: "You are truly a generous and considerate lord."
Cao Xing smiled and said nothing more.
Then, he took out a three-meter-long pitch black spear from his backpack.
It was the [Executioner's Spear] that Liu Muxue opened from the golden treasure chest last night.
I looked at the properties.
[Executioner's Spear (Purple)]
[Quality: Rare]
[Equipment level: level 30 and above]
[Attack power: 532~578]
[With special effects ①: Strength +80, Agility +60, Hit rate +20%]
[Included special effect ②: Piercing Gun (when attacking the enemy's vital points, the penetration effect is increased by 30%, and the damage caused is increased by an additional 50%)]
[Included special effect ③: Execution Gun (active special effect, after it is turned on, the next attack will increase the hit rate by 100%, the critical hit rate by 100%, and ignore 300 points of enemy armor)]
(Equipment introduction: In the name of the true god Balthazar, you are now sentenced to death! - Slaughterer: Ihsan Ibarra)
…
Cao Xing's eyes lit up, "This weapon is pretty good!"
"Especially the special effect of the execution gun, which basically has a 100% hit rate, very strong!"
He looked at the two male dragon blood warriors, and then said: "Jonard, Josante, show me your weapons."
The two tall Norns did not hesitate at all.
The tall figure stepped forward and handed the spear in his hand to Cao Xing.
[Obtain: Norn Army-breaking Spear (Purple)]
[Obtain: Norn standard spear (blue)]
Both of these weapons are level 20 weapons with average attributes.
Jonard uses a purple spear, while Jonard uses a blue field.
Cao Xing directly handed the [Executioner's Spear (Purple)] to Josante.
Then he said: "I will give you new weapons next time."
Hearing this, Jonard had a smile on his face and said, "Lord, don't worry about me. The help you have given me is enough."
Josante, on the other hand, took the new weapon with a respectful expression.
"Thank you for your gift. From now on, your orders will be the tip of my spear!"
[Due to your generous gift, territory member Josante’s loyalty has been improved. Current loyalty: 95]
…
Seeing the system prompts, Cao Xing also smiled.
Josante's loyalty skyrocketed from 87 to 95, and will soon reach 100.
He took a look at Josante's attributes.
[Ice Dragon Blood Fighter: Josante]
[Race: Norn]
[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level 3 boss creature)]
[Detailed attributes: click to view]
…
"Not bad, not bad. Thirty-five thousand HP and 1,600 attack points are already very powerful for a third-level boss!"
This time, all Cao Xing's men have been upgraded to level 30, and a lot of equipment can be arranged.
Then, Cao Xing took out an extremely gorgeous broken sword with a gem inlaid on the top from his backpack.
The moment this broken sword appeared, everyone felt the majesty of a king in Cao Xing!
In an instant, everyone in the entire territory looked towards Cao Xing.
Especially Queen Victoria.
Her pupils instantly became clear, staring at the ancient sword!
And those Ascalon warriors all knelt on one knee on the spot.
They shouted excitedly: "Oh my God! This is actually the sword of the king of our Kingdom of Ascalon, Magdale!"
"This weapon actually appeared on the Lord. Is this God's will?"
Yaskin next to him also said excitedly: "Yes, this must be God's will!"
"The Lord has chosen this legendary weapon, which means you will become our new king!"
"No wonder we feel a sense of intimacy and surrender when we look at the Lord!"
"Let us meet the new king of Ascalon together!"
