Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Yanni, come again next time."

"Just take a good rest today."

Xia Yanni looked shy, and then asked softly, "Sir...are you still going to be busy?"

"Yes, I have some things to do."

"Uh-huh."

The sensible woman nodded.

Cao Xing put on his clothes, kissed her on the lips, and left the sewing shop.

After a while, Cao Xing walked out of the sewing shop.

On the way, he couldn't help thinking: "Next, I have to go to the market and trade the meat I caught today with the survivors."

"Based on the quality of this batch of beast meat, we should be able to exchange it for a lot of resources."

When he was about to go to the market.

But Elisa was seen walking in front with a bow and arrow on her back.

When Elisa saw Cao Xing, she ran over like a little rabbit.

"Wow! Lord, I finally found you!"

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Of course there is something wrong, it's a good thing!"

After Elisa finished speaking, she threw the bag on her back to the ground.

Suddenly, a large number of ice dragon marks and glacier fragments appeared inside.

Since they had no storage bags, this was the only way they could transport the materials.

Elisa clapped her hands and said, "My Lord, this is what we got from killing those ice nest monsters all day long."

"All the ingredients are here, nothing is left out!"

"I have checked it several times with my brothers, hehe!"

The little girl looked very proud, as if she was waiting for Cao Xing's praise.

Cao Xing laughed and then collected all the materials on the ground.

[Obtained: Glacial Fragment*1137]

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Mark*2031]

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Horn (Small) *1]

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Horn (Medium) *1]

There are not many Ice Dragon Marks and Glacial Shards.

Compared to last night, when we collected more than 40,000 Ice Dragon Marks in six hours, this efficiency is really low.

But Cao Xing also knew that this was normal.

After all, there is no double explosion rate bonus, and the frequency of ice nests dropping is not high.

To his surprise, a new ice dragon horn appeared this time.

Look at the attributes.

[Ice Dragon Horn (Medium): After using, you can actively summon the power of the dragon. In the next six hours, all ice nests within 60 kilometers of your territory will descend to the vicinity of your territory.]

…

"Has the speed increased from 30 kilometers to 60 kilometers?"

Cao Xing was stunned.

Once this thing is used, it's not as simple as doubling the number of ice nests.

The diameter has increased from 30 kilometers to 60 kilometers, and the surface area has increased nearly four times.

The population density and the number of territories here have increased by at least four or five times.

In other words, if Cao Xing used this thing.

In the next hour, the number of ice nests that fell near his territory would reach at least over a hundred.

This is a pretty scary number.

At this stage, Cao Xing does not know the situation in other districts.

But no one in the entire 174th area could withstand the impact of so many ice nests.

"But I am confident that I can handle it."

"Of course, it will be more difficult."

Cao Xing nodded silently, then looked at Elisa and smiled, "Elisa, well done."

After hearing this, Elisa chuckled and looked at Cao Xing eagerly.

Cao Xing asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"

Elisa complained: "My Lord, you promised Elisa the reward..."

"I've been looking forward to this all day!"

"You won't forget it!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned again.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have really forgotten.

When I left home in the morning, I promised Elisa that if she behaved well, I would reward her in the evening.

But it was just a casual remark at the time, but the little girl really took it to heart.

Of course, Cao Xing would definitely not show it.

So he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I certainly haven't forgotten."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out an [elite soul of a hunter killer] from his backpack.

"What do you think this is?"

Elisa looked at the soul in Cao Xing's hand and felt the powerful aura contained in it.

"Wow! I feel like this is something that can make Elisa even stronger!"

The natives of this world will not release [Soul] even after killing powerful creatures.

Like the treasure chest, this is also a privilege of the Chosen Lord.

Elisa asked tentatively, "Is this for me, Lord?"

Cao Xing smiled and directly threw the elite soul in his hand to her.

Elisa took it and said happily, "Thank you! Handsome Lord!"

"You haven't forgotten Elisa."

[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of your territory member: Elisa has increased. Current loyalty: 100]

(Loyalty is full, you can now issue any orders to it.)

…

Cao Xing touched his chin and looked at Elisa.

This little girl's loyalty soared to 100 within a few days of joining the territory.

Her loyalty level increases the fastest.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the little girl's innocence.

At this moment, after Elisa received the soul, she did not use it immediately.

Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Cao Xing with a strange look.

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Elisa chuckled and said, "Hehehe, I don't know why, but it seems like the Lord is getting more and more handsome!"

Cao Xing was speechless. "Hurry up and use the breakthrough. I'll have something for you later."

Eliza became excited when she heard the latter sentence.

"Long live the Lord!"

She nodded excitedly, and then directly slapped the soul into her body.

Cao Xing waited for a moment.

Soon, a startling chill rose from Elisa.

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Elisa successfully upgraded to an elite creature, all attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Ice Burst]

[Ice Burst: Concentrate the power of frost and instantly shoot 4 to 6 arrows. Each arrow causes 125% damage and has a 30% chance of freezing the enemy for 1 to 3 seconds. Cooldown time: 90 seconds]

…

When Cao Xing saw the introduction of this new skill, admiration appeared in his eyes.

The attributes are okay and the damage coefficient is not weak.

If all six arrows are fully loaded, you can even kill ordinary monsters of the same level in seconds.

"Not bad, Elisa."

After saying that, Cao Xing gave her the two blue-grade longbows and six green-grade longbows that exploded from the rangers.

Elisa was holding this pile of weapons, her face full of surprise!

"Wow! So many longbows! Lord, did you steal the blacksmith shop in Hogg Village?"

Without waiting for Cao Xing to reply, Elisa said excitedly: "Thank you, handsome lord!"

After saying that, she dropped the longbow in her hand, then suddenly rushed over and hugged Cao Xing's waist.

The fragrance filled his air and Cao Xing stood there in a daze.

By the way, Elisa is about 17 years old this year, according to the customs of this world.

Girls are married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

However, because Elisa was too naughty, and old Mel had only one daughter like her, he was reluctant to let her get married.

Being hugged by this little girl who was like a little rabbit, Cao Xing felt a little awkward for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Elisa had a sly smile on her face, looking secretly at Cao Xing.

Cao Xing noticed the little girl's expression and immediately realized that she did it on purpose.

Then, under Elisa's surprised gaze, Cao Xing directly reached over her legs and picked her up like a princess.

Elisa's eyes widened, as if surprised by Cao Xing's actions.

A hint of blush instantly appeared on her pebble-clean face.

Before she could react, Cao Xing carried her on his shoulders again and slapped her on the buttocks several times.

"I told you not to tease me!"

Elisa was slapped so hard that she kept begging for mercy.

"Ouch! Lord, I'm wrong. Stop hitting me!"

"My Lord, Elisa shouldn't have teased you."

“Mmmmm…”

In fact, Cao Xing's force was not strong, he just wanted to scare the little girl.

As he patted her, Cao Xing discovered that Elisa was really light.

Of course, it's also very soft.

Cao Xing pinched it twice subconsciously.

Elisa seemed to feel Cao Xing's actions. She did not react, but her legs gradually tightened. She stopped begging for mercy and let him do what he wanted.

The atmosphere seemed to become a little subtle.

Then Cao Xing put Elisa down.

This lively little girl, at the moment, stood there with a blushing face, hooked her fingers, looking at the ground, as if she didn't dare to look Cao Xing in the eye.

Cao Xing coughed twice, then said, "Okay, as the captain of the archers, you will be in charge of distributing these weapons. Go over quickly."

Elisa's eyes lit up when she heard this.

The blush on her face faded, and she said excitedly, "My Lord, you are right."

"I am their captain and I am responsible for them!"

"I'm going there, my Lord!"

Cao Xing nodded.

Elisa quickly turned around, picked up all the longbows on the ground, and hopped away like a little rabbit.

When she was about a hundred meters away from Cao Xing, Elisa stopped, turned her head and glanced at him secretly.

There was a hint of shyness and a bit of joy in her eyes.

…

Cao Xing went straight to the side of the market.

I thought to myself, “No one should bother me this time.”

Cao Xing shook his head, then looked at the pile of animal meat in his backpack, a look of joy on his face.

"Very good, this time I harvested several thousand pieces of beast meat, enough for me to exchange for a large amount of resources!"

"But before we trade, we still need to see if we have any blueprints for Moses Grass and an intermediate alchemy workshop."

He opened the search interface and entered the keyword, "Intermediate Alchemy Workshop".

After getting the search information as 0, Cao Xing did not feel any regret.

After all, this kind of intermediate drawings are still relatively rare, and it is normal that the current survivors do not have them given their strength.

Next, Cao Xing entered the keyword "Moses grass".

To his surprise, there were two consignment information this time.

"Great! Moses grass is finally available on the market!"

Cao Xing had a look of joy on his face, and then he glanced at the consignor and the consignment conditions.

One consignment information is a survivor lord named Wang Hao.

He has 17 Moses Grasses in his hand, which requires 170 pieces of blue-grade beast meat, or 1 purple weapon, and there is no bargaining.

When Cao Xing saw this message, he knew that this guy had obviously made such a bid on purpose just for him to see.

Now everyone knows that Cao Xing is buying Moses grass and Ice Jacaranda flowers.

Therefore, Wang Hao opened his mouth with a huge demand, ready to make a fortune from Cao Xing.

Cao Xing shook his head, not wanting to discuss whether this thing was worth it.

17 stalks of moss grass are not enough for Yuncai yak to chew one bite.

Then he looked at the second consignment information.

This time it was a survivor lord named Wu Xinghu. He had a large amount of Moses grass, but he did not say what he needed. Instead, he asked those who were interested to chat privately.

"Private chat?"

Cao Xing thought for a moment.

Obviously, these two consignment information are directed at myself.

Moreover, Cao Xing was somewhat familiar with the name Wu Xinghu.

He seems to be the boss of Tiger Hall.

The Tiger Hall is considered a gang, but the behavior of its subordinates is acceptable. They will not bully ordinary people, and the members are relatively united.

Cao Xing has not had any conflicts with them so far.

"It seems like this Wu Xinghu wants to talk to me about something."

So, Cao Xing directly clicked on the private chat.

"I'm Cao Xing. How are you going to sell the moss grass in your hands?"

After waiting for a few minutes, the other party replied.

"Hello Cao Xing, I was delayed for a while by something and I didn't see the message. Sorry."

"It's OK."

Cao Xing didn't care.

Wu Xinghu continued, "I don't know, how much Moses grass do you need?"

Cao Xing replied: "It's not clear at the moment, but of course the more the better."

The other party was silent for a moment, then replied.

Wu Xinghu: "In fact, today we found a patch of moss grass."

"There are a lot of them, probably tens of thousands."

"This thing is actually not something valuable. It has no special function other than being eaten by humans."

"I won't cheat you. If you want, I can pull all the moss grass off the ground and trade it to you. Then you can name your own price."

Cao Xing was stunned. There were so many!

If it was a patch of moss grass, it should be enough for 19 steers to eat for a while.

Moreover, Wu Xinghu was quite honest and had no intention of cheating Cao Xing just because of his identity.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and did not immediately offer a price. Instead, he asked, "What is your occupation?"

Wu Xinghu replied: "Polar Warrior."

Cao Xing said directly: "How about I exchange these Moses grass with you for a level 15 purple weapon?"

He just happened to have two weapons that Liu Muxue and Assam had discarded.

They are the fighter's short sword and the ancient rapier.

After hearing this, the other party thought for a moment and said, "Can you let me see the attributes first?"

Cao Xing directly attached the attributes of the warrior's dagger to it.

A moment later, Wu Xinghu's surprised voice came.

"The properties of this dagger are very good."

"Although I am a polar warrior and a two-handed sword is more suitable for me, I can trade with you."

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, let's trade. Go to the trading market and modify the information."

At this time, Wu Xinghu said, "Wait a minute, Cao Xing, before that, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Cao Xing looked a little confused, thinking that the other party had suddenly changed his mind.

Then, Wu Xinghu said, "I wonder if you have ever learned about the military system?"

After Cao Xing heard this, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Of course he was familiar with the [Legislature] system.

This is a faction that can be created by a Survivor Lord.

By creating a [Legend], you can invite surviving lords from the same region to join your Legion and bring their territories under your control.

After joining the legion, lords are not allowed to kill each other.

At the same time, the head of the corps has the right to allocate resources and transfer personnel.

It can also unlock some legion buildings and legion blueprints.

Such as military transport vehicles, military defense vehicles, etc.

By continuously improving your reputation and upgrading the [Legion], you will even get advanced blueprints such as the Legion Teleporter Array and Legion Training Camp.

You can imagine.

As time goes by, some survivors will form legions and begin to develop their own forces.

Of course, the [Legion] cannot be created casually, and certain conditions are required.

To create a [Level 1 Legion], you need a reputation value of 1,000 or more, and you also need to pay 2,000 iron and 50,000 crowns.

This condition would stump 99% of the current survivor lords.

Cao Xing replied: "I have understood it. What do you mean?"

Wu Xinghu also replied: "To be honest, I have already established a corps this morning, called Binghu."

"Currently, our level 1 legion can accommodate 50 survivors' territories, and I have almost recruited all the other brothers."

"The legion function is really convenient. When the surviving lords of the same camp rush to other territories, they will receive a 20% speed bonus."

"Currently, there are two deputy army commander positions vacant."

"If Mr. Cao Xing is willing to join our army, I can directly make you the deputy army commander."

At this time, Cao Xing finally understood Wu Xinghu's plan.

It turns out that he wanted to pull himself into his army.

Cao Xing smiled and replied, "Forget about the army. I don't have that idea at the moment."

After hearing this, Wu Xinghu did not force it.

He said, "Okay then, Boss Cao Xing, whenever you have an idea, you can contact me."

"Or if you ever want to form your own army, you can contact me."

"Maybe Master Cao Xing doesn't know that now in the world channel, many regions have already established legions, and they seem to be developing well."

"According to the development progress of this world, survival becomes increasingly difficult in the future, and some weak survivor territories will be forced to join the army to keep each other warm."

"This is a major trend. In the later stages, I estimate that there will be one or two giant legions in each region."

"They control the resources, population, and combat power of a large region."

"In a short period of time, we will be able to compete with the indigenous forces."

Cao Xing nodded.

I have to say that Wu Xinghu's analysis makes a lot of sense.

It is a general trend for survivors to stick together for warmth.

Strength in numbers is not just empty talk.

With various transport vehicles, traveling between survivors' territories will no longer be so difficult.

…
