Through last night's transaction, Cao Xing received six copies of the [Ice Archer Training Manual], which can be used to train six subjects into combat personnel.

In addition to Elisa, we need to find five more people.

Then, Cao Xing came to the side of the tree spirits and looked at a mature-looking female tree spirit.

"Valerie."

Hearing Cao Xing calling her, the female tree spirit walked over quickly and saluted respectfully.

"My Lord, please give me your orders."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "I have five vacancies for training ice archers. See who among the tree spirits is willing to become a combatant and let them sign up."

Hearing this, without waiting for Valery to speak.

One of the male tree elves immediately said excitedly: "My Lord! I am willing to become an ice archer, and I also want to have the power to defend the territory!"

"I want to do that too! I want to become an archer and protect the safety of the territory!"

"And me!"

The reputations of the newspapers fluctuate here and there.

Except for some weak female tree spirits, at least 80% of the tree spirits raised their hands.

Seeing this, Valeri smiled faintly, "Lord, you should choose for yourself."

"We, the tree spirits, are willing to contribute our strength to defend our territory."

Cao Xing nodded, then pointed at five people and said, "Very good, then the five of you follow me."

The five selected tree spirits, both men and women, all showed joy on their faces.

The other tree spirits seemed extremely envious.

They followed Cao Xing, crossed the territory, and stopped in front of a building that covered an area of ​​about 200 square meters, was aqua blue in color, and had a bow and arrow carved on the wall.

This is the training camp.

Then, Cao Xing said directly: "You guys go in."

Five tree elves and Elisa entered the barracks one after another.

Then, Cao Xing directly opened the barracks training interface.

A system prompt appears.

[Do you want to use the Ice Archer Training Manual*6 to train the territory members: Elisa, Yulian, Besk... into Ice Archers? ]

【Number of people training at the same time: 6/6】

[Time required for this training: 6 hours and 42 minutes...]

Cao Xing nodded directly.

At the same time.

The gate of the training barracks closed instantly, and then waves of blue magic appeared from inside.

Cao Xing nodded. "Next, we only need to wait for seven hours, and we will have six ice archers."

At the same time.

After seeing Cao Xing finished his work, the polar man Da Zhuang and his leader Cao Yi also came over with their men.

They said with great energy: "Lord! Please arrange our work for today!"

Cao Xing glanced at these people, then shook his head and said, "No need, I promised you yesterday that you would have a day off."

"Everyone, go back. Today's work will be taken over by the new members."

However, after hearing this, the people in the community looked troubled.

The chief citizen Cao Yi said with a worried look on his face: "Lord, why don't you just not give us a holiday?"

"If you don't let us work, we can't even eat in peace..."

Da Zhuang also echoed, "Yes, yes, the Lord goes out every day and provides us with abundant food."

"If we just sit back at home and enjoy the fruits of our labor, wouldn't we be useless?"

"Polar people don't want to rest, they want to work!"

After hearing this, the other polar people also said, "That's right, Lord."

"Polar people don't want to rest!"

Cao Xing was happy. These guys refused to take a rest even if they were asked to.

And judging from the situation, it would be really boring to leave them idle.

After thinking for a while, Cao Xing said, "In that case, if you are really bored, why don't you upgrade the city walls to mid-level ones?"

All the primary walls were upgraded to the intermediate walls, which was a huge project.

And the amount of materials needed is astronomical.

If Cao Xing had not collected a large amount of resources through market transactions, he would not be able to build the intermediate city wall now.

Hearing that Cao Xing had finally given them a task, the people looked at each other and joy showed on each other's faces.

"Great! Let's get to work!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

Da Zhuang and his subject Cao Yi both retreated with excitement on their faces, and then began to upgrade the city walls.

At this time, Cao Xing called over another polar man, Duan.

The polar man Duan said respectfully, "My Lord, please give me your orders."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "The group of polar people I brought back yesterday will be under your command today."

"Your mission is to build seven more primary elemental arrow towers and three primary ice arrow towers. If time permits, you can also lay a layer of brick flooring on the ground of our territory."

Duan immediately said respectfully: "No problem, respected lord."

"I will do my best to complete the task you assign."

After saying this, he immediately took more than twenty polar people to build a new arrow tower.

All of a sudden, everyone had a job and started a busy day.

Cao Xing looked at the countdown above his head.

[Distance until nightfall: 10 hours and 54 minutes…]

[Weather forecast: In the afternoon, some areas of the snowy plains will be hit by freezing rain, please take precautions against cold and rain. ]

Cao Xing nodded and said, "It's getting late. We should go find Ji Xinyue and see if we can complete the mission."

Then, Cao Xing came to the center of the territory and shouted.

"gather!"

The next moment.

Assam, Andrew, Blot and other fighters rushed over.

They all looked at Cao Xing with determined eyes, as if waiting for him to give the task for today.

The Blood Spider Queen, Xierda Shanshan, arrived late, with a sleepy look on her face, as if she had not woken up yet.

After everyone had arrived, Cao Xing said, "Today, we are going to a place far away. If we encounter any problems in the territory, we won't be able to rush back immediately."

"So, we need to leave a few strong members behind to guard our territory."

Cao Xing's gaze swept over everyone and then stopped on the black smoke shaman.

"Blot, you stay."

After hearing this, Blot bowed respectfully and said, "My Lord, although I would rather fight with you, if it is your order, I am willing to obey."

Cao Xing nodded.

Of course, he considered letting Blot stay.

As a powerful boss creature and a Black Smoke Shaman, he is particularly good at defensive battles where the outnumbered are victorious.

And because his resonance totem has a bonus to everyone, even if Blot stays, he can still benefit from Cao Xing and the others' combat experience.

Together with two centaurs, several robots and the snake-woman Ilena.

The territory's defensive capabilities are quite strong.

Everyone else is ready to go.

However, before setting off, Cao Xing still had a recruitment scroll that he hadn't used.

That was Liu Muxue’s second place reward.

Although only ordinary creatures can be recruited, they can also possess very powerful combat power after being enhanced by Cao Xing's BUFF.

So, Cao Xing took out the blue scroll in his hand.

[Do you want to use the second-tier creature recruitment scroll? ]

"yes."

With Cao Xing's confirmation.

At the same time, a chilling hexagram appeared in front of everyone.

Waves of icy aura emerged from the hexagram array.

Through the wind and snow, everyone saw a huge humanoid creature two meters tall emerging from inside.

Then, a rough voice sounded.

"The heart is the strongest muscle!"

"Even in the coldest hell, I will show the world my strongest body!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the smell of ice and snow dissipated.

In front of everyone, a man with a naked upper body, bulging muscles all over his body and a big bald mustache appeared!

The blue tattoos on his body covered his entire body like pythons, and the lines of his terrifying muscles were clearly visible.

What's even more exaggerated is the weapon in his hand.

It was a giant shield that was about 1.8 meters tall, aqua blue in color, and as big as a door panel.

Cao Xing was stunned. "Is this... another new special class? It seems to be a defense type?"

At the same time, the topless bald man spoke: "For the glory of my hometown, I, the Ice Shield Guardian: Braum Ironwall, reports to you!"

Cao Xing extended his hand and said as usual, "Welcome, Bron Iron Wall. Let us build a glorious territory together!"

The bald Bron had a brilliant smile on his face. Although he was naked on the upper body, he seemed not to feel the cold at all.

Braum's eyes began to scan the surrounding territory buildings.

At the same time, he also noticed that the aura of his partners around him was extremely powerful, and each of them had more powerful strength than him.

There was a look of approval in Bron's eyes.

"My Lord, you have a prosperous territory and a group of powerful subordinates!"

When Cao Xing heard this, he was immediately delighted.

I was impressed by Hilda yesterday, but this big bald guy I recruited today seems to be quite knowledgeable!

Cao Xing glanced at Hilda calmly, as if wanting to see her reaction.

"whispering sound!"

The proud queen made a disdainful sound and glanced away.

Cao Xing just smiled and didn't care.

Then, he looked at the attributes of the big bald Braum again.

[Ice Shield Guardian: Braum Iron Wall]

[Level: Level 11 3364/20000 (Second-level ordinary creature)]

[Health: 2740/2740]

【Attack power: 207~233】

[Armor: 143~155 (Shield holding)]

[Attributes: Strength 97, Agility 84, Spirit 88, Constitution 114]

[Skill: Winter's Bite (drives the ice in the shield, causing 88% damage to the enemy hit, and reducing its movement speed by 70% within 2 seconds, with a cooldown of 20 seconds)

Leap Guard (Braum quickly leaps to a friendly unit and increases its armor by 20%, blocking the next 1 damage. The maximum jump distance is agility*0.2 meters, and the cooldown time is 60 seconds)]

【Talent ①: Polar Physique】

[Talent ②: Ice Blood (Every time you are attacked, your ice blood will be activated. After 10 attacks in total, it will emit an icy aura, freezing the enemy for 2~3 seconds)]

[Satiety: 73]

【Loyalty: 70】

…

When Cao Xing saw Braum's skill, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Obviously, this is a front-line shield warrior character in the team.

The second leap to guard is simply a life-saving skill!

"Not bad, not bad."

Cao Xing was very satisfied with this new hero.

Although Braum is just an ordinary creature, he has already demonstrated great potential.

And with Cao Xing here, I believe his level will be raised soon.

"Bron, you have a strong body. I believe that with your protection, our team will be much safer."

Hearing Cao Xing's praise, Bron blew his mustache and said proudly, "My Lord, you are right. I am the strongest warrior in our hometown. With me here, no one can hurt you!"

Cao Xing also smiled, "Now, let us bless you and make you stronger!"

"Blessing?"

The bald Bron looked puzzled.

Cao Xing nodded.

At the same time, he, Liu Muxue, as well as Ilena, Blot, Xia Yanni, Tong Chuchu and others beside them, all began to cast spells.

[Ice Therapy], [Ice Armor], [Frost Shield], [Blessing of Courage], [Blessing of Aurora], [Aurora Holy Shield], [Snake Man Frenzy], [Queen's Will]...

Balls of energy and dozens of consecutive buffs hit Braum.

Braum only felt that his whole body was suddenly filled with all kinds of terrifying power!

His defense, attack power, and speed all increased dramatically!

These buffs allow Braum to instantly compete with elite monsters of the same level and defeat them!

You know, he is a shield warrior and not good at fighting.

And with Braum's current defense, he can even fight against boss-level creatures of the same level!

This is the terrifying power of [Eternal Power].

It allows an ordinary creature to fight across two levels directly.

Moreover, as Cao Xing and Liu Muxue obtain more and more BUFFs in the future.

In the future, it will no longer be a dream for an ordinary creature to be enhanced to the strength of a leader!

By then, you will be the leader of all members!

Cao Xing even thought about the future, when he would raise an army.

They all looked like ordinary imperial soldiers, but when they fought, each of them was more ferocious than the leaders.

That scene must have been very sad!

Cao Xing couldn't help but laugh a little foolishly.

At this moment, Bron interrupted his thoughts.

"Dear Lord, your power is as vast as the ocean. Braum likes this powerful feeling!"

[Your territory member: Bron Iron Wall has received a powerful power increase, and his loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 81]

Cao Xing nodded, and his loyalty increased by 11 points at once.

He once again marveled at the usefulness of the gift of eternal power.

No matter how arrogant a being is, after being recruited by him, they will be amazed at this powerful talent and their loyalty will increase.

After doing all this, Cao Xing looked at Xia Yanni next to him.

"Yanni, we are going to a rather far place today. If you encounter any problems in the territory, remember to contact me immediately."

However, he has not yet made the [Small Communication Device].

But Xia Yanni is also a survivor and can use the system's built-in chat function to communicate with Cao Xing remotely.

In this way, even when he is outside, Cao Xing can know the situation in the territory.

Xia Yanni held Tong Chuchu's hand, her whole body was full of charming and charming, "Okay, sir... I will contact you as soon as possible."

Cao Xing nodded, and then gave the order directly: "Everyone, follow me!"

The team began to move towards the territory gate.

However, before setting off, Cao Xing saw something placed next to the gate of the territory.

It was a sled, a means of transportation made entirely of wood and iron sheets, about two meters long and one meter wide.

There are four seats on top, which can accommodate four people at the same time.

Look at the attributes.

【Beginner Sledding】

Durability: 200

【Maximum number of passengers: 4】

"Yes, it seems Duan has made five sleds according to my instructions."

Then, Cao Xing put these [sleds] into his backpack.

Yes, the Sled is a crafting item and can be put into a backpack like a minecart.

You can take it out when you need to use it, which is very convenient.

And this way, we won't encounter the situation like yesterday where the newcomers in the team slowed down our progress.

【Get 4 beginner sleds】

then.

The door opened, and everyone watched.

Including Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.

Eight figures, a mammoth, and a frost wolf marched out of the territory and came to the snow outside.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The team began to speed up.

The bald Bron felt the surging power in his body and said excitedly, "Aha! Great!"

"The power of this Blood Spider Lady is so strong that it greatly increases my running speed!"

Seeing the bald man's excitement, Cao Xing also smiled.

The team's atmosphere was lively.

Everyone was speeding along the way. Cao Xing and Liu Muxue sat on the back of the mammoth, watching the scene around them quickly recede without any bumps at all.

More than twenty minutes later.

They had advanced about 30 kilometers.

At this moment, Sarah appeared again silently.

Since what happened last night, the dark elf assassin seems to have rediscovered her assassin's heart.

The look he gave Cao Xing no longer had the previous passion, but was filled with some other complex emotions.

"Lord, there is a battle one kilometer ahead. It seems to be another lord."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned, and then thought: "Another lord..."

Cao Xing instinctively didn't want to have much contact with other lords.

Moreover, if they go there now, the other party might think that you are trying to steal the monster or have other purposes.

Therefore, Cao Xing prepared to order a detour.

At this time, Sarah added, "The territory is under siege by a large number of ice nest monsters, and the humans inside seem to be unable to hold on."

Hearing this, Cao Xing thought for a moment again.

Icebrood monster?

It just so happened that he needed a large number of Ice Dragon Marks to exchange for rewards. Given their strength, it wouldn't take them long to deal with an ice nest.

It wouldn't be a big deal to rescue these survivors at the same time.

Of course, the premise is that there are no members of the Three Heroes Society in this territory.

If there was, Cao Xing would definitely not come to the rescue, and would even add insult to injury and destroy this territory.

So Cao Xing said, "Let's go and take a look."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The team changed direction and sprinted forward!
