Seeing the effect of this thing, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey guys, so this is why I couldn't find out the strength of those rangers!"

This is good stuff, and it comes in all grades.

So Cao Xing gave one to each of his subordinates.

In an instant, Cao Xing felt that their aura became more obscure and difficult to detect.

Especially the Phantom Assassin Sarah. She is standing there now, giving people a sense of illusion and can easily be ignored.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. With this cloak, other survivors won't be able to easily detect my strength."

At the same time, Andrew and Assam also completed their transformation.

A powerful force rose from within their bodies.

Cao Xing could even feel that the two big guys had grown another two or three centimeters taller.

Two system prompts appear.

[Your territory member: Andrew has successfully upgraded to a level 3 boss creature: basic attributes increased by 100%]

[Your territory member: Asam has successfully upgraded to a level 3 boss creature, with basic attributes increased by 100%]

…

Cao Xing was overjoyed, "Great! I have two more third-level generals under my command!"

You know, a few days ago, Asam was only a level 10 first-tier creature, and Andrew was only level 15.

He broke through to the third level so quickly.

His development speed is so fast that it is terrifying.

The two of them came over with happy looks on their faces.

Assam said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord, for your gift. Assam has become a third-level knight!"

Andrew also said devoutly: "You and the power of nature protect me at the same time."

Cao Xing nodded and gave some encouragement as usual.

Then I looked at their attributes.

【Frostwolf Rider: Assam】

[Race: Human]

[Level: Level 20 0/100000 (Level 3 Boss-level Creature)]

【Detailed properties: click to view】

…

【Iceborne Druid: Andru】

[Race: Druid]

[Level: Level 20 0/100000 (Level 3 Boss-level Creature)]

【Detailed properties: click to view】

…

Seeing their attributes, Cao Xing's eyes showed strong joy.

So awesome!

Their attack power all exceeded 1500!

The amount of blood is more terrifying than the other.

However, compared to the third-level Baymax of the same level, their attributes are slightly inferior.

But as a mammoth, a sacred creature, Dabai naturally has its advantages.

Cao Xing said with satisfaction: "Let's go to the village."

“Yes, sir!”

Assam drew his sword first and walked towards the village.

Soon, they arrived inside the village.

As soon as I entered, I saw a mess inside.

Sarah fought these rangers in the village, destroying many houses.

Several bodies of rangers were left on the ground.

In addition to these signs of fighting, there was dried blood on the walls of the houses.

Sarah then appeared beside Cao Xing and reported, "I have investigated this place before, and there is no one left in this village."

Cao Xing nodded, he probably had guessed it.

It can be seen from the fact that those rangers were hiding and not letting Cao Xing enter the village.

Sarah continued, "However, I found a gate to an underground passage in one of the houses, and that's where I was discovered by the ranger."

"That place must be very important to them."

After listening to this, Cao Xing held his chin and thought for a moment.

Underground passage door?

It seems that the secret of the hunters in this village is hidden under that gate.

But he didn't go over immediately, but looked at the surrounding residential houses.

Then, Cao Xing directly pushed open a house.

I saw some simple facilities inside.

A stove, a few tables, chairs and benches.

Beyond that, there is the kitchen area and bedroom.

Cao Xing entered the kitchen area first.

Then I found a wooden cabinet hanging on the wall.

When I opened the cupboard door, some bottles and jars suddenly appeared inside, all of which were used seasonings.

"Oh? And pepper?"

These daily necessities are still relatively scarce in Cao Xing's territory.

He collected them all.

【Obtained: 1 bottle of coarse salt】

【Obtained: Leftover soy sauce*1】

[Obtained: Low-quality wine*2]

【Obtained: Pepper*1】

…

Then, Cao Xing came to the bedroom area again.

There was only a bed and a blackened quilt in the bedroom.

And under the bed, Cao Xing also found a hidden cabinet.

“Crack!”

I opened the cupboard and found a few simple cotton clothes and a small bag of coins inside.

Cao Xing put it away directly.

【Obtained: Linen cotton clothes*3】

【Get: Coins*102】

【Obtained: Silver Ring*2】

…

“These are some unexpected gains.”

After all, these cotton clothes and money are relatively important supplies.

Cotton clothes in particular are enough to cause a rush of buyers when they are brought to the trading market.

With a look of joy on his face, Cao Xing continued to search the bedroom.

After not finding anything valuable, I walked out of the house.

Cao Xing clapped his hands, then looked at his men and said, "Go and search the houses of those villagers... No, go and look for any supplies that can be brought back to the territory."

"This village has been occupied by rangers. We cannot let these supplies fall into their hands."

Cao Xing spoke righteously.

After hearing this, Assam and the others straightened up immediately and then started to act.

Cao Xing himself opened the doors of the villagers' houses one by one and began to search carefully.

First, I searched the living room, then the kitchen, and finally the bedroom, taking away all the supplies that could be used.

System prompts keep appearing.

【Obtained: Dry cheese*2】

【Obtained: Low-quality wine*1】

[Obtained: Eggs*12]

【Obtained: Chicken Mushroom*5】

【Obtained: Raw buckwheat honey*2】

【Obtained: Linen cotton clothes*3】

【Obtained: Gingerbread*1】

【Get: Coins*723】

【Obtained...】

…

Although they were just some supplies of low value, Cao Xing enjoyed them.

How can I describe this feeling?

It’s like the whole village belongs to you and everything in it is yours to take.

Moreover, the village is quite large, with hundreds of houses of various sizes.

If you can collect all these materials, it will be a great harvest.

Of course, this will take some time.

But Cao Xing has a lot of people, so it won’t take long.

After searching more than a dozen villagers' houses.

Cao Xing came to a two-story building in the village.

That is the village tavern.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

It can be seen that a battle must have taken place here.

But in order to disguise their identities, these rangers cleared away all signs of fighting.

The tables, chairs and benches in the tavern are neatly placed together.

Cao Xing ignored him and went straight to the counter of the tavern.

His eyes were fixed on the wine cabinet at the back.

Crunch!

The door of the cupboard opened.

Suddenly, dozens of bottles of wine appeared inside.

"Oh my god... there are so many red and white wines. I'm going to make a fortune!"

Cao Xing, with an excited look on his face, collected them all.

[Obtained: Finely brewed rum*24]

【Obtained: Jixta dry white wine*6】

【Obtained: Local pepper vodka*8】

[Obtained: Vigma Champion Liquor*6]

[Obtained: Kaedwen Dark Beer*7]

…

"Haha, this is so cool!"

"The tavern in my territory can get a new batch of wine!"

Then he opened the bar, and a pile of coins suddenly appeared inside.

There were almost little stars in Cao Xing's eyes!

"Take it away, take it all away!"

【Get Coins*4724】

After searching the bar, Cao Xing went to the second floor of the tavern.

There are several small houses inside.

When they pushed open the door of one of the rooms, they saw a naked female corpse lying inside, her skin frozen white.

Cao Xing didn't find anything valuable in these small houses.

He shook his head.

He walked down from the second floor again and continued searching inside the tavern.

"That's strange. Why can't I find the wine cellar of the tavern?"

"Does their wine come from somewhere else?"

You know, even Cao Xing built a basement under the tavern in his territory, which was used to store wine and other things.

He did not give up and searched again.

At this time, Cao Xing came to the bottom of the stairs and found a loose wooden door.

Looking closely, information about the wooden door appeared before my eyes.

【The door of the underground wine cellar】

[Armor: 10]

Durability: 200

…

“Haha, I found it!”

Cao Xing's expression lit up with joy, then he raised his staff and threw an ice ball at it.

Bang!

The door of the wine cellar was smashed open, revealing a spacious basement.

There was a strong aroma of wine coming from inside!

"Oh my god! It smells so good, there must be a lot of alcohol in there?"

Cao Xing jumped down directly.

In the basement, Cao Xing saw more than a dozen round wooden wine barrels!

I scanned it and saw the system prompt.

【Rum*100L】

【Wine*100L】

【Tequila*100L】

…

"This is full of wine. A barrel holds 100 liters. There are 13 barrels here, which means a total of 1,300 liters!"

"I'm going to get rich now!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed and immediately collected all the rum.

【Obtained: Rum*300L】

【Obtained: Rose wine*200L】

【Obtained: Tequila*500L】

【Obtained: Wine*200L】

[Obtain: Redania beer*100 liters]

…

13 barrels took up two slots of his backpack.

Cao Xing was very satisfied.

And when he put away all the barrels, he saw a storage box in the corner.

As I got closer, a system message appeared.

[Found the storage box (blue) in Drake's Tavern, do you want to open it? ]

"Open it."

【Open successfully】

[Obtain: Intermediate Basement Construction Drawings]

【Obtained: Recipe of fine rum*1】

【Get: Coin*27133】

[Obtained: Vicky/Anita/Bello/Urrica's indentures*4]

[Obtained: Drake Tavern Account Book*1]

…

"A recipe for fine rum? And blueprints for an intermediate basement?"

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.

[Intermediate basement construction drawings: Expand the primary basement to make it 8 meters long * 8 meters wide * 5 meters high, used to store supplies or serve as a temporary shelter. ]

[Armor: 100]

Durability: 4500/4500

【Space: 320 cubic meters】

[Materials required for construction: primary basement, wood*500, stone*300, iron*100, primary element crystal*5]

[Building time: 12:54]

(The higher-level basement not only has a larger space, but also has good defensive capabilities.)

…

【Refined Rum Recipe】

[Materials required for brewing: Primary Brewing Workshop, rum, tree sap, honey. ]

(Note: The taste is mellower than ordinary rum and is deeply loved by those warriors.)

…

Cao Xing thought for a moment, "Do I need a brewery to start brewing wine? It seems I have to kidnap one, or find someone who is good at brewing wine to join my territory."

Put everything away.

At this point, the basement had been completely searched by Cao Xing.

He walked up with satisfaction.

At the same time, Assam and others had almost finished searching the village.

They handed all the supplies to Cao Xing.

Get rid of the clutter.

Cao Xing has reaped the rewards.

【Coin*26310】

【Linen cotton clothing*273 sets】

【Coarse salt*154 bottles】

【Soy sauce*164 bottles】

【Black pepper*72 bottles】

【Honey*6 bottles】

【Dry cheese*324】

【Black bread*5324】

【White bread*253】

…

"Not bad, not bad." Cao Xing exclaimed.

This wave of looting directly enriched the basic supplies in his territory.

At this time, Cao Xing looked at the Phantom Assassin next to him and said, "Sarah, take me to the basement you mentioned."

Sarah nodded.

Then, under her leadership, everyone came to an inconspicuous small room.

However, as a second-level frost mage, Cao Xing could also sense something was wrong here.

There seems to be some magical fluctuations in the room.

Not only that.

Outside the room, there are also some explosive traps, rope traps, spike traps, etc.

This shows how much importance the group of rangers attach to this room.

Fortunately, these traps have been dismantled by Sarah.

After opening the door, the facilities inside are also very ordinary.

Sarah went straight to the corner of the room, pointed to a wooden board and said, "This is it."

Cao Xing looked over.

[Underground passage wooden door with blasting rune applied]

【Armor: 50 points】

【Durability: 1000 points】

[Attached special effect: Self-destruction (If the door is forcibly opened, it will cause the fire rune to self-destruct, causing 500 points of self-destruction damage to nearby creatures)]

…

Cao Xing thought for a moment.

The self-destruction can only cause 500 points of damage, which is no problem for them.

So he just said, "Open it, Sarah."

Hearing Cao Xing's order, Sarah chopped him down with a knife.

Bang!

The durability of this wooden door is reset to zero.

Then, a scorching flame rose up.

Boom!

After the explosion, no one was hurt.

But it only blew away one layer of their holy shield.

At the same time.

The door of the underground passage opened, revealing a deep staircase inside.

Asam drew his sword and said, "Lord, let me lead the way."

Cao Xing nodded, "Go, Assam Knight."

Then, everyone followed Assam and walked down.

The stairs are deep and long.

Tap... tap...

As we went deeper, only the sound of people's footsteps echoed.

After walking about a hundred meters.

At this time, Cao Xing discovered that they had come to a spacious space.

[You have discovered the hidden area: Amu Darya Village Underground Prison]

"Oh? This is an underground prison?"

There was a look of doubt in Cao Xing's eyes.

Then he took out the magic torch.

As the torches lit up with orchid light, the scene inside the prison appeared before everyone.

In front of us was also a passage, with small rooms on both sides enclosed by iron fences.

Cao Xing walked to the door of one of the rooms and shone it with a magic torch.

He saw a human being who was just like the one who ran out of the village, naked and covered with various wounds.

However, the other party did not seem to be dead and was still breathing.

The other party's attributes appeared in front of him.

【King's Soldier: Guillermo】

[Power: Ice Crystal Kingdom]

[Level: Level 24 (Level 3 Ordinary Creature)]

[Health: 1194/11250]

【Attack power: None】

[Skills: Intermediate Swordsmanship, Three-Section Chop, Jump Chop]

[Status: Severely injured, hungry, internally injured, cold, frostbite...]

…

"Why are the soldiers from the Ice Kingdom here?"

There was a look of doubt in Cao Xing's eyes.

He wanted to ask for some information, but the naked man was in a trance.

No matter what Cao Xing said, he stayed in the corner motionless.

It was obvious that he had been tortured to insanity by the group of hunters.

This can be seen from his many negative aspects.

Even if he had a third-level physique, the long-term torture by the rangers, coupled with the low temperature of more than 40 degrees below zero in the underground prison, even an iron man could not withstand it.

The soldier is still alive today probably because the group of hunters deliberately kept him alive until his last breath.

"Let's go."

Cao Xing shook his head and led his men deeper into the underground prison.

We walked along this passage for about five hundred meters.

A total of more than thirty rooms were discovered.

Part of the room was empty, while in the other part, a royal soldier who was tortured to death was imprisoned.

Their condition was the same as the first soldier, dazed and confused.

Cao Xing walked all the way to the innermost part of the prison.

Here appeared a room sealed with a thick iron door.

It seems that the person imprisoned inside is some important person.

He raised the torch and shone it inside.

A dishevelled, naked man huddled in a corner.

Cao Xing also glanced at his attributes.

[Lieutenant: Declan Noble]

[Power: Ice Crystal Kingdom]

[Level: Level 28 (Level 3 Boss-level Creature)]

[Health: 1713/25300]

【Attack power: None】

[Skills: Intermediate Imperial Swordsmanship, Five-Section Slash, Sword Qi Burst, Chaotic Dance]

【Talent: None】

[Status: Severely injured, internally injured, hungry, cold, frostbite...]

…

"Good guy, a lieutenant of the chief rank?"

There was a look of surprise in Cao Xing's eyes.

Moreover, he discovered that the lieutenant in front of him was different from the other prisoners. He still retained a trace of sanity.

Cao Xing asked directly, "Are you the lieutenant of the Ice Crystal Kingdom? How did you get here?"

The lieutenant looked at Cao Xing, and a terrifying smile gradually appeared at the corners of his cracked mouth!
