Xierda's arrogance left Cao Xing speechless.
However, when he saw that Braum's loyalty was full, joy appeared on his face.
At this point, almost all the harvest has been distributed.
The residents who received the reward all had excitement in their eyes.
Those who did not receive the reward felt very envious.
At the same time, I secretly decided in my heart that if there is such a battle next time, I must perform well in front of the lord!
In Cao Xing's hands, there is also a leader-level soul, a boss-level soul, and 7 elite-level souls.
The most valuable of these is naturally the soul of the leader.
To be honest.
He has many people with great potential under his command.
For example, Baymax and Volibear, or Rhaenys and Assam, and even the two Dragonblood Warriors.
They are now just elites or leaders, but they have already demonstrated strong combat capabilities.
Once the leader is broken through, there will be another qualitative change.
But there is only one leader-level soul.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to continue giving it to Andrew!
After all, Andrew failed one last time.
He just didn't believe it. How could he fail twice in a row?
Andrew looked at the leader-level soul in Cao Xing's hand and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Lord, why don't you let someone else use it? After all, I've already failed once..."
Cao Xing smiled and said, "It's nothing. As long as it succeeds this time, it's good."
"As you said, the law of nature is balance, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Andrew also laughed.
"You are truly a wise lord. Nature will bless you."
He stopped refusing and took it respectfully.
At this point, the harvest from this battle has almost all been distributed.
There were still some equipment left, and Cao Xing had not had time to check the attributes, so he decided to wait a while.
At the same time.
At Cao Xing's instruction, everyone began to use these souls and hearts of power to make a breakthrough.
The scene of more than a dozen people improving at the same time was still very shocking.
Although the time is almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
However, the hundreds of people in the territory were not sleepy at all.
First, the three wild boar warriors were the first to break through.
[Your territory member: Derek successfully upgraded to a second-level elite creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Double Blade Rondo]
[Your territory member: Miles successfully upgraded to a second-level elite creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Double Blade Rondo]
Two system prompts.
Two of the three elite souls succeeded and one failed.
The success rate is okay.
Then, there were the Ascalon warriors.
The first system prompt appears.
[Your territory member: Nikita, successfully upgraded to an elite creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, has learned a new skill: Sword of Destruction]
[Sword of Broken Army: Charge forward suddenly, attacking all enemies along the way, causing damage equal to ATK*141%, and has a higher chance of knocking enemies away, breaking up the enemy's formation, cooldown time 3 minutes.]
…
Seeing the skill introduction, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This skill is pretty good!"
"Combined with their legion skills and fearless charge, there is almost no one who can stop this army on the battlefield!"
As the first breakthrough alert appeared, five system alerts appeared in succession.
Cao Xing nodded secretly.
Out of ten souls, six have broken through, which is not bad.
Next up are the two Dragonblood Warriors.
Cao Xing couldn't help but look forward to this powerful branch of the army.
The elite level is already so powerful.
I wonder what skills they can activate after breaking through to the boss!
At this moment, the ice dragon blood in the two of them was constantly being activated, and even a dragon's might was constantly emanating.
This caused some fear to appear on the faces of the tree elves.
A system prompt appears.
[Your territory member: Jonard successfully upgraded to a boss-level creature, with attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Dragon Blood Extraction]
[Your territory member: Joscent successfully upgraded to a boss-level creature, with attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Dragon Blood Extraction]
…
[Dragon Blood Extraction: Extract the blood of Zhuoma in the body. In the next 120 seconds, the cooldown time of all skills will be reduced by 50%, the range of all attacks will be increased by 30%, and the attack speed will be increased by 30%. After the skill ends, you will suffer a huge backlash of pain. Cooldown time: 5 minutes.]
(Note: Those who steal the power of the dragon will gradually be eaten away by great pain while gaining great power, until frost covers their necks, and they can only look at their own stiff bodies and wail in despair.)
…
"Haha! They both worked!"
"And this new skill is so damn powerful!"
What does it mean to reduce skill cooldown by 50% and increase attack range by 30%?
The Dragonblood Warrior's two signature skills: [Dragon Spear Assault] has a cooldown time of only 40 seconds.
【Ice Dragon Spear·Break】only has a cooldown time of three minutes.
Cut it in half, and their output will skyrocket.
Combined with the increased attack range, this means that the Dragon Assault can leap greater distances.
The Ice Dragon Spear can also increase its attack range from the original 50 meters to 65 meters!
It's so powerful that it's terrifying!
Cao Xing was delighted.
However, this skill has a huge side effect.
That is, after the effect ends, you will suffer extreme pain.
Jonard had said before that ever since they absorbed the blood of the ice dragon into their bodies, the Norns have been constantly suffering from the backlash of the ice dragon's power.
Obviously, the aftereffects of this skill are more severe than the previous pain they suffered!
Cao Xing pondered: "I wonder if this skill will be blessed by the power of eternity."
"If so, after using it, will they always suffer from the side effects, or will they never have to bear the backlash?"
He decided to give it a try.
So, Cao Xing came directly to the side of the two Dragon Blood Warriors.
"Jonathan, try using your dragon blood extraction skills."
After hearing Cao Xing's order, Jonathan nodded and said, "Yes, Lord."
At this time, Jonard seemed to remember something, and then said solemnly: "However, there is something I need to remind you."
"Because this move gains power by extracting the dragon's blood from the body, and dragon's blood is quite unstable."
"After using this skill, I may lose my fighting ability, or even go crazy for a short time and attack our companions."
"I hope you can subdue me then, Lord!"
Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned.
Because the skill introduction only says that it will cause extreme pain, but it doesn't say that it will drive people crazy.
It seems that the backlash of the dragon's blood is really not something that ordinary people can endure.
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, I will subdue you, don't worry..."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Jonathan's face.
Then he stretched out his left hand, as if to absorb some power!
The next moment, he clenched his fists, and veins all over his body bulged instantly.
Not only that, Cao Xing even saw his blood vessels moving, as if there were worms wriggling inside!
A strong, all-contemptuous force gradually emanated from his body!
At the same time, Jonald's eyes turned cold, and a trace of inhuman emotion appeared.
And at this moment, the system prompt appears.
[Jonathan, a member of your territory, successfully performed the skill [Dragon Blood Extraction]. Under the influence of the talent [Eternal Power], the skill has become permanent.]
…
Just as Cao Xing expected, this skill also became permanent.
Cao Xing was also a little nervous, observing Jonad's changes.
Is it necessary to endure this backlash forever, or is it possible to suppress this pain permanently?
After a moment, Cao Xing asked, "Jonathan, how do you feel about your current condition?"
Hearing Cao Xing's presence, the coldness in Jonard's eyes gradually faded away.
He looked at Cao Xing with an expression of disbelief, "Lord... this, this, this..."
"This is truly an amazing power!"
"This power not only helps me suppress the backlash of the ice dragon blood in my body, but also allows me to use the power of the ice dragon at any time!"
Hearing this, even Johansson next to him was shocked.
"Oh my God! Jonad, are you serious?"
"Suppressing the backlash of the ice dragon's blood and using the dragon's power at any time is something that even the saint can't do!"
Jonard said excitedly, "Yes."
“I find it hard to be confident, but it is true.”
"Your Majesty's power is simply omnipotent!"
After getting the confirmation, Johansson, who was standing by, was so excited that he almost spoke incoherently.
“That’s great… That’s great…”
"We, the Norn, are saved..."
Seeing their excited reactions, Cao Xing also smiled.
At this time, Josent said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, Lord, we are too excited!"
"Because there are some powerful dragon blood fighters in our tribe, and they can also use the dragon blood extraction technique."
"However, no matter whether it is a boss or a leader-level dragon blood fighter, after using dragon blood extract multiple times, they will completely lose their minds and even become one of those ice nest monsters."
"We had no choice but to kill these brave warriors."
"The blood of the dragon has given us great power, but it is also a curse that we cannot get rid of!"
"And now, because of your greatness, we are free from this curse!"
“That’s why we’re so excited!”
Cao Xing smiled and shook his head, because he was also very excited!
The stronger the two dragonblood warriors are, the more help they can provide to him.
At this time, Cao Xing suddenly had a different idea.
Since the Norns have the talent to fuse the blood of the ice dragon into their bodies.
So, can they integrate the blood of other races?
Yes, it's the devil's blood!
After Cao Xing defeated the soul-eating demon last time, he obtained a job-changing item, demon blood.
This drop of blood can increase the user's total attack power by 50%, which is quite powerful!
By then, they will be both dragon blood warriors and demon warriors.
Will it receive a double bonus?
So, Cao Xing asked directly: "Jonathan, Jonathan, can you see if this drop of blood can be integrated into your blood?"
Looking at the drop of black blood in the wooden bottle in Cao Xing's hand.
Jonard felt an evil and powerful aura.
Then, he shook his head and said, "My Lord, Johansen and I are not the top warriors of the Norn clan."
"With our physical constitution, fusing one type of blood is already our limit."
"However, if you can find a Norn with stronger talents in the future, you can try to fuse the two bloods."
After hearing Jonathan's explanation, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
It seems that just as I imagined, the blood talents of the Norn people are also divided into different levels.
Although these two dragon-blooded warriors are powerful, they are not the best among them and cannot withstand the fusion of two powerful bloods.
Cao Xing also temporarily gave up this idea.
While they were talking.
Braum and Hilda have also both broken through to the third level.
Cao Xing took a look at the attributes of the two.
[Ice Shield Guardian: Braum Iron Wall]
[Race: Human]
[Level: Level 20 0/100000 (Level 3 Boss-level Creature)]
【Detailed properties: click to view】
…
[Blood Spider Queen: Hilda Blood Kiss]
[Species: Blood Spider]
[Level: Level 20 0/100000 (Level 3 Boss-level creature)]
【Detailed properties: click to view】
…
After seeing the attributes of the two, Cao Xing's eyes showed strong joy!
After being blessed by the Pale Tree, Braum's health has exceeded 30,000, and his armor has exceeded 500!
The blood spider queen's health directly exceeded 37,000, and her attack power exceeded 2,000!
At this moment, Hilda's strong blood energy burst out, even making everyone feel their breath pause.
It seems that she has the momentum of the Blood Spider Queen who once destroyed two principalities in one fell swoop!
Cao Xing exclaimed, "Bron, Hilda, you are very good."
Braum touched his bald head and said sheepishly, "Thanks to the Lord for the gift!"
"Bron didn't expect that he would become so powerful within just a few days of being summoned by you."
And Xierda had just broken through the third level, and she seemed to be in high spirits, with her blood and energy constantly surging.
Only Isabel frowned slightly, concentrating the holy light disc to disperse the blood energy in front of her.
At this point, everyone's breakthrough is almost complete.
Only Andrew was still transforming into the leader.
He needs a little longer.
I don’t know if it’s because of the previous breakthrough.
This breakthrough went very smoothly.
In Cao Xing's surprised eyes.
A breath of life rose from Andrew's body!
[Your territory member: Andrew successfully transformed into a leader-level creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Treant Form]
[Tree Man Form: Transform into a powerful tree man, movement speed reduced by 30%, upper limit of health +30%, and additional skills learned: "Life Blossom", "Entangled Roots", "Reinforced Bark", "Thorns", transformation duration 5 minutes, cooldown time 10 minutes]
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing was immediately surprised and said, "Haha! Sure enough, a new form has appeared!"
He couldn't wait to check Andrew's properties after the transformation.
【Iceborne Druid: Andru】
[Race: Druid]
[Level: Level 25 19792/200000 (Level 3 Boss-level Creature)]
【Detailed properties: click to view】
…
Cao Xing was shocked. "So powerful! Its HP is about to break 40,000, and its attack power has also exceeded 2,000. This is almost comparable to the attributes of the Blood Spider Queen!"
In other words, if Andrew now enters the [Owl Form], a single [Starfire] can cause more than 3,000 damages.
And [Moonfire Technique] can also cause more than 2,000 damage!
Combined with its output frequency, Andrew's damage will once again surpass Cao Xing, firmly taking the second place in the team's output!
However, this is not Andrew's biggest improvement this time.
The biggest improvement is the new form he unlocked.
Cao Xing said excitedly: "Let me see what surprises this new skill brings!"
[Enhanced Bark: Passive Skill (Increases Armor by 30%)]
[Entangled Roots: Releases 5 to 10 roots, which bind the enemy in place for 1 to 30 seconds, absorbing the enemy's health equal to the enemy's attack power * 72% per second. Cooldown time: 90 seconds]
[Life Blossom: Restores the health of yourself or a friendly unit equal to 3 Spirit within 7 seconds. Cooldown time: 45 seconds]
[Thorns: Surrounds yourself or a friendly unit with a layer of thorns. When attacked by melee, it will rebound 9 points of damage + Andrew's Agility*0.5. The effect lasts for 600 seconds, and the cooldown time is 60 seconds.]
…
"Hey guys! So strong?"
Obviously, Andrew's new form is more inclined towards defense, healing, and assistance. He is very versatile!
The most important thing is!
Andrew's transformation this time has two more status skills!
One restores blood, the other counterattacks!
[Life Blossom] can restore Andrew's health equal to 3 of his spirit within 7 seconds.
That is a recovery value of nearly 2200, and about 314 health points can be restored per second.
The most important thing is that this skill can be used in conjunction with [Ice Therapy].
In other words, with Andrew's [Life Blossom], Cao Xing and his team's reply data per second will now reach 854 points!
After calculating this data, Cao Xing's face suddenly showed a strong sense of joy.
"Haha, with such a high HP recovery rate, it will be hard to die now!"
In addition, there is also a [Thorn Technique].
This thing should be equivalent to a reflection aura, with a fixed reflection of 9 + Andrew's agility * 0.5 damage.
In other words—
A unit with [Thorns] inflicted will rebound approximately 370 damage each time it is hit by a melee attack.
That doesn't sound like much.
But you have to know that the health points of some first-level creatures are only a little over 500 or 600 in total.
In other words, just cast [Thorns] on a polar man and let him stand in the monster group.
Those monsters can kill themselves with just two strikes from the polar people.
With his terrifying recovery method, he becomes an invincible cockroach.
Cao Xing could even imagine the scene on the battlefield.
Those soldiers looked at Cao Xing's army, who could neither be killed nor touched, like a group of iron-skinned hedgehogs.
That scene must be very funny!
Cao Xing was suddenly startled.
"Too perverted!"
Even if it was him, facing such an army, he had no other way to deal with it except using various long-range attacks to kill them instantly.
He said excitedly: "Andrew, your new form is very powerful and will be of great help to our territory."
