After opening the storage box, a lot of acquisition prompts appear.

"So many new things!"

There was excitement in Cao Xing's eyes.

He couldn't wait to start checking the properties of these props.

The first one is the orange quality book.

Inscribed on it was the words "Advanced Assassin's Manual" in gold lettering.

The signature next to it was not Montella, but another unknown assassin.

[Advanced Assassin's Manual (Orange)]

【Quality: Epic】

[Item effect: It records the life of an unknown assassin, including his various assassination techniques and experiences. By constantly practicing the techniques in the book, you can master the various assassination skills of this unknown assassin.]

[Skills that can be learned: Advanced Assassination Technique, Shadow Sprint, Assassination Code, Shattered Shadow, Phantom Flash, Instant Hell Shadow Kill. ]

[Reading requirements: assassin, thief, stealth, killer and other assassination-related professions. ]

【Reading time: unknown】

(Note: Depending on your personal talent and effort, the time required to learn the various skills recorded in it varies. Only by practicing hard can you become a true assassin king!)

…

Seeing the introduction of this thing, Cao Xing was immediately shocked.

"Huh? This is actually a manual that allows people to learn various advanced skills!"

Of the six skills recorded in this book, the white-robed priest has already learned the first five, and their attributes are very powerful.

As for the last one, [Instant Hell Shadow Kill], it is probably a more advanced skill.

Even the white-robed priest didn't understand.

Clearly, the value of this book is inestimable.

No wonder its quality is marked in orange.

It is a priceless treasure for any assassin or killer!

But unfortunately, this thing has limitations and can only be learned by a killer or assassin profession.

In addition, you need to study the knowledge in the manual carefully and practice day after day to learn the skills in it.

It's very convenient for survivors like them.

After obtaining these skill books, I learned how to use the skills by just clapping my hands.

However——

In any case, the value of this book is definitely greater than the tens of thousands of kilograms of food mentioned above.

And it was almost tailor-made for Sarah!

This powerful dark elf assassin can be greatly improved if he learns any of the skills.

"As expected of an orange-quality item, it's so powerful!"

With excitement, Cao Xing began to check the second thing, which was a blueprint of a training camp.

【Shadow Killer Training Camp Drawings】

[Drawing effect: You can build a training barracks in the territory to train ordinary unprofessional citizens into shadow killers. They can learn basic assassination techniques, shadow stealth and other skills.]

【Area: 124 square meters】

Durability: 1800

[Materials required for construction: Stone*300, Wood*150, Iron*100, Refined Iron*50, Mithril*20, Shadow Crystal*5)]

【Construction time: 17:32】

…

"Can a battalion of soldiers be trained to become shadow killers?"

The thoughts in Cao Xing's mind started to come alive again.

"If I have this training camp, can I train a group of shadow killers and let them study the Advanced Assassin's Manual?"

"Although the various skills in this manual have very high requirements."

"But if there's just one person who learns one of these skills, it's all profit."

"By then, I can even use this manual to train a team of powerful killers!"

With this sheet and manual combination.

Cao Xing seemed to see a different development model.

However, these still need time to practice.

In addition, building this barracks requires a new material, [Shadow Crystal].

So, Cao Xing clapped his hands, clicked the drawing directly on Study, and continued to look at the next thing.

[Liya Medina's Transformation Potion: Special Items]

[Potion effect: After use, you can transform into a creature you have come into contact with, imitating the other party's strength, aura, etc. The transformation effect lasts for 60 minutes]

(Note: Magic potions can only imitate the aura of creatures up to level 5, and will be detected by beings 20 levels higher than you.)

…

"Transformation potion? This is a good thing!"

Cao Xing thought to himself, "But, this transformation shouldn't be considered a buff effect, right?"

"It would be fun to be blessed by the power of eternity and permanently transform into another creature!"

But no matter what, this bottle of medicine is still very effective and may come in handy at some point.

Put it in the backpack.

He continued to check the second bottle of magic medicine.

[Liya Medina's True Vision Potion: Special Item]

[Potion effect: After taking it, you will have the effect of true sight for the next hour, and can see through the enemy's disguise, transformation, stealth, etc.]

(Note: This potion can only see through disguise effects up to level 5.)

…

"Interesting, these two potions are meant to be paired together, right?"

"After drinking the transformation potion, you can transform into the aura of another person."

"After drinking the True Sight Potion, I can see through some existing disguises and transformation effects."

Cao Xing smiled and then moved on to the next thing.

[Livian Cherry Beer: After taking it, you can instantly recover 300 HP and increase your agility by 15 points within 300 seconds. There is an 80% chance of entering a drunken state.]

(A kind of beer loved by the strong and lonely at heart. Sold in the territory tavern, it has a chance to attract some stealth or rangers to your territory.)

…

There's not much to say about this. It's a consumable item of the same type as [Champion Liquor] and [Rose Wine].

But what it attracts is agility heroes.

Cao Xing continued to check.

This time, it was a few pieces of cold hind leg meat.

【Frost Moose Hindquarters (Gold)】

[Hin leg meat with an icy aura. When eaten for the first time, it can increase ice attack by 5%]

(Note: Frost moose are a very rare magical creature with extremely strong magical powers. It is said that they can spit out frost breath that freezes everything.)

…

"Oh my god... golden beast meat, this is the first time I've come across this."

"The hind leg meat of this frost moose actually increases damage by a percentage. Isn't the effect too strong?"

Obviously, this stuff is very valuable. You only need to eat 100g to take effect. The 8 pieces here are enough for 80 servings!

Cao Xing can not only eat it himself, but also give it to other subordinates with ice abilities in the territory.

For example, the two Dragon Blood Warriors and the Frost Archer Elisa.

The 5% increase in ice damage is still very powerful.

Cao Xing would certainly not sell such precious animal meat.

The most important thing is to keep improving your own strength.

At this moment, Cao Xing still had two things left in his hand.

They were a list and a square box.

He first checked the introduction of the list.

[List of Black Robe Priests: It records some of the Black Robe Priests that Montra had come into contact with, as well as their identities, and secretly recorded their names.]

[Name: Kulin Kurtz (Everfrost Main City, Kulin Pharmacy Merchant)]

[Name: Maracia Glass (Melinde City, Baron's wife)]

[Name: Tashid Cotton (Everfrost Main City, Third Regiment of the Kingdom’s Garrison Army, Lieutenant General)]

【Name……】

…

After reading this long list of dozens of names, Cao Xing's eyes showed shock!

"You won't know until you see it. It's really shocking!"

These dozens of people include people from all major towns and industries in the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

From a potion merchant to a noble relative, from a knight to a knight commander...

The most senior general among them was a general named Tashid.

Cao Xing sighed: "It seems that the Ice Crystal Kingdom is about to be infiltrated by the Church of Light like a sieve!"

You know, the list only includes some of the black-robed priests that Montella has come into contact with.

For the Church of Illuminati, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg of their vast power.

At this time, Cao Xing thought: "The name Tashid seems familiar..."

He thought about it for a moment, and then suddenly he was shocked!

"I think I remembered it!"

"In the underground prison of that village, Lieutenant Declan, who was rescued by me, said that they were sent out by General Tasid to investigate."

"Oh no! It turns out that the biggest traitor is their boss. No wonder Declan and his team were all exposed!"

This also made Cao Xing feel a sense of crisis.

The infiltration capabilities of the Church of Illuminati are truly terrifying.

Even high-ranking officials in such positions can be transformed into members of their church!

Cao Xing felt more and more that his actions today were correct!

At his current rate of development, the Church of Light would sooner or later notice him.

And Cao Xing's actions today can be said to have greatly delayed this time.

"It seems that the Church of Light has a big plan."

"In the near future, these conspiracies may all be exposed, which may have an impact on the entire kingdom and will also have an impact on us survivors."

"With my current strength, I can't make any impact on such a huge force. Even though I have killed many white-robed and black-robed priests recently, it just doesn't hurt them."

Cao Xing knew this clearly, and he did not feel inflated by his consecutive victories.

Moreover, through these analyses, Cao Xing also made up his mind.

That is to continue to fight steadily and gradually improve the strength of yourself and your territory.

Then when these crises break out, you will have the power to protect yourself.

Thinking of this, he put all these things away.

Then, a square box appeared in his hand.

This is also the last item in this storage box.

【Montra Collection Box】

[Item information: It seems to contain something extremely important to Montra.]

…

"The white-robed priest's treasure? Is it something good?"

Looking at the introduction of the items, Cao Xing felt a little curious.

Including Liu Muxue, who also leaned over with some curiosity.

He slowly opened the box.

But when they saw what was inside, their faces turned pale and they felt a chill at the same time!

And Liu Muxue next to her almost couldn't help but vomit on the spot!

Bang!

Cao Xing closed the box on the spot, and then cursed secretly: "Damn, this Montella is really perverted..."

Inside this box is a head.

A woman's head.

No one knew how long she had been dead, but in the low temperature environment of this world, she still maintained a lifelike expression, as if she had just died.

Thinking of Montella's character introduction, Cao Xing roughly understood the identity of the woman in the box.

He was about to throw the box away, but after thinking for a moment, he sighed.

"Forget it, let's find a place to bury him after we get out. He's a pitiful person."

After doing all this, Cao Xing searched the basement again.

After confirming that nothing was missing, he took Liu Muxue and Tong Chuchu and left.

When they come out.

See Assam has cleaned up the battlefield.

Hundreds of ranger bodies were piled together, and their equipment was stripped off.

At the same time.

Three elite Ascalon warriors came over and reported: "My Lord, we have carefully searched every corner, including the hidden basements and cabinets. We have searched them two or three times and have confirmed that there is nothing missing!"

"In these rooms, we found a dozen or so rangers hiding, but we killed them on the spot!"

Cao Xing nodded, "Very good."

Sarah came over quietly and reported: "The secret passage has been found. It's behind the big rock on the edge of the cliff."

"I checked and there are no other hunters in the secret passage."

Cao Xing nodded again.

Then, Asam came over and said, "My Lord, the battlefield has been cleaned up and the bodies of the rangers have all been piled up together."

"Also, everything that fell from their bodies has been collected. Please have a look!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes were also filled with excitement.

This time, they killed nearly six hundred people. It is hard to imagine how much information could be revealed!

He suppressed his excitement and collected all the spoils on the ground.

First, there are four bosses and the equipment dropped by each boss.

[Obtained: Silent Blade (Gold)*2]

[Obtain: Swift Boots (Purple)]

[Obtained: Cruel Gloves (Purple)]

[Obtained: Believer's Hammer (Purple)]

[Obtained: Magic Shadow Dual Blades (Purple)]

[Obtained: Staff of Depth (Purple)]

…

Five pieces of purple equipment! Two golden assassin knives!

Obviously, this wave of gains is huge.

Then, there are the weapons carried by elite rangers and ordinary rangers.

[Obtained: Assassin's Blade (Blue)*11]

[Obtained: Stone Crushing Sword (Blue) *12]

[Obtained: Sandalwood Longbow (Blue)*6]

[Obtained: Standard weapons of the Church of Illuminati (sword, axe, gun, bow) *437]

[Obtained: Arrows*4172]

…

After this wave, Cao Xing's territory arrow reserves will also receive a huge replenishment.

Next, there are some souls and hearts of power, as well as various attribute books.

[Obtained: Montra's Shadow Soul*1]

[Obtained: Black Robe Priest Soul*3]

[Obtained: Ranger Elite Soul *18]

[Obtain: Advanced Power Heart*1]

[Obtained: Intermediate Power Heart*6]

[Obtained: Primary Power Heart *52]

[Obtained: Large Book of Agility*1]

[Obtained: Medium-sized books of various attributes*28]

[Obtained: Small books of various attributes *172]

…

One leader soul, three boss-level souls, plus eighteen elite souls!

If these resources can be digested, Cao Xing's strength will be greatly improved!

However, Cao Xing did not check it immediately.

Because he has to hurry to clean up the battlefield.

He looked at Assam and asked in a serious tone, "Have we found the bodies of our soldiers who died in the battle?"

Hearing this question, Asam was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I found them all."

"There were five casualties in total."

"Two soldiers from the Kheshan Empire, one imperial archer, and two warriors from the Wild Boar Tribe."

After hearing the death toll, no one on the scene said anything.

After all, in a large-scale battle like this, where the enemy's level and number are generally higher than theirs, it is impossible not to have casualties.

It was a miracle that only five people died, a casualty ratio of nearly 1:100.

Cao Xing sighed: "These soldiers who died in battle are all heroes of our territory."

"Wrap their bodies in cotton clothes and carry them back to the territory."

Assam nodded solemnly, "Yes, Lord!"

After they wrapped up the bodies of the five dead soldiers.

Cao Xing ordered: "Everyone prepare to return now!"

"Andrew, get some people to burn this place down."

After hearing the order, everyone took action.

Andrew brought several soldiers and threw torches in various corners of the camp.

The flames gradually rose up and engulfed the entire camp.

Under the light of the fire, Cao Xing and his party gradually left the camp...

…

Ten minutes later, Cao Xing returned to the top of the Great Rift Valley and successfully reunited with Lab and his team.

Cao Xing then said, "Everyone, follow me. Labu, you guys follow behind the team and erase all traces of our march."

The boar warrior Lab nodded and said, "As you command, Lord!"

Then, Cao Xing led more than a hundred people and changed direction along the Great Rift Valley.

Not only that, he also deliberately took a detour of more than 20 kilometers.

During the journey, we passed through mountains, frozen rivers and forests.

It took more than two hours before we started moving towards the territory.

…

…

And not long after Cao Xing and the others left.

This large camp of the Church of Light was already ablaze with flames reaching the sky.

A shadow was still lurking near the secret passage.

It was Sarah who was instructed by Cao Xing.

At this moment, she entered a deep [Phantom Invisible] state, and with the shadow cloak, her aura had become extremely concealed.

She has been standing here quietly waiting for more than an hour since Cao Xing left.

Watch as flames rise into the sky and spread across the entire camp.

She remained in the same posture, motionless.

After a moment, Sarah noticed an empty area of ​​the camp and suddenly a piece of floor had been lifted up.

A masked ranger with terrified eyes came out.

He looked at the camp engulfed in flames and the pile of burning corpses, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise!

"Oh my God! Archpriest Montra is dead, and everyone in the camp has been killed!"

"It's hard to imagine that this was accomplished by a lord from another world and his men."

"I have to report this immediately!"

After saying this, the ranger came behind a large rock on the edge of the cliff. He wanted to leave the Great Rift Valley through this secret passage.

And not long after he entered the secret passage.

The ranger suddenly felt a pain in his back, and a dagger pierced straight into his body.

puff!

Before he could make a sound.

Two shadow blades chopped down silently.

【-3766】

【-3172】

【-5733! 】

【-3154】

…

[Dagger of Disaster] plus three consecutive slashes, causing more than 10,000 damages.

At the same time, [Shadow Blossom] recorded the previous damage and then exploded directly!

…
