Renis snuggled in Cao Xing's arms, her face flushed with satisfaction, and she whispered, "Finally, I have received the care of the Lord..."

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Um……"

Reneece nodded sheepishly.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I'll come see you again when I have time in the evening."

Hearing this, Renis became even happier and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

At this time, Cao Xing suddenly said, "By the way, this is for you."

After saying that, she took out the [Cruel Gloves] and [Beast Leather Pants] from her backpack.

Renis took the two pieces of equipment gently.

After feeling the aura from above, she also knew that these two pieces of equipment were extremely suitable for her.

She put the two pieces of equipment gently away.

Then, under Cao Xing's surprised gaze, Renis dived directly into the quilt.

The next moment, Cao Xing only felt something soft enveloping him.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"hiss!!"

Another half hour passed.

Cao Xingcai left Renis's room...

The cold wind howled at night.

Mixed with the warmth from the furnace, the fevered brain gradually cools down.

It was almost late at night.

Cao Xing looked strange and said, "I still have some elite souls and some equipment in my backpack that I haven't distributed yet."

"But it's too late now."

"Forget it, let's go back to our room and sleep today..."

Just as he was about to return to the lord's hut, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash past him.

And sneaked into the bullpen.

"Huh? Who is it?" Cao Xing was surprised.

"Could it be another stalker? Didn't Sarah notice it?"

Thinking of this possibility, Cao Xing suddenly became a little nervous.

After all, there were more than a dozen steers locked up in the [cowshed], which was a huge fortune for him.

No matter who it is, sneaking into the bullpen in the middle of the night is definitely not a good thing.

He followed quietly.

Then he stopped in front of the wooden door of the cowshed.

Through the gap, he saw a petite figure carrying a small wooden bucket and diving into the pile of yak fur.

After seeing the figure inside clearly, Cao Xing's face was already frowning.

"Crack!"

Cao Xing pushed open the door of the cowshed and asked with a dark face, "Elisa, what are you doing?"

Hearing Cao Xing's voice, the little girl who was milking was so frightened that she almost jumped up.

She hurriedly put the small wooden bucket in her hand behind her back.

“Lord, Lord, Lord…”

"Why are you here?"

Cao Xing was speechless and said, "You're still asking me why I'm here. Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming here to steal milk?"

Elisa realized she had been discovered and decided not to hide anymore.

She quickly ran to Cao Xing, knelt down gently, hugged his thighs and said pleadingly.

“Wuwuwu… Lord, Elisa is wrong…”

"Please forgive Elisa this time. I won't dare to do it again..."

Seeing her like this, Cao Xing was speechless again.

He said, "Okay, get up. I didn't say anything to you."

Hearing this, the little girl jumped up and said happily, "Wow! Thank you, Lord."

"I knew the Lord would forgive me!"

Cao Xing was speechless, "I didn't say I forgive you."

"Tell me first, isn't there milk in the cafeteria? Why did you come here to drink it secretly?"

After hearing this, Elisa was immediately excited and said, "Of course it's because milk tastes better when it's fresh!"

"Especially the milk from Yuncai cows, which tastes the best within the first few minutes after it is squeezed out!"

"Elissa loves milk the most!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing's mouth twitched, and then he revealed an evil smile.

"Really? Then do I need to tell Mr. Meyer about you coming here to drink milk in the middle of the night?"

Hearing this, Eliza suddenly became nervous.

"Ugh! Don't tell my father, he'll hit me on the head and won't give me milk for days!"

At this moment, Elisa came over shyly, then turned around and bent down.

She aimed her little buttocks at Cao Xing.

Cao Xing was confused. "What are you doing?"

Elisa said aggrievedly: "I know I was wrong. I will spank you a few times. Can you please not tell my father..."

Cao Xing originally wanted to say no.

But suddenly a mischievous thought arose in his heart.

So, Cao Xing directly put the little girl on his thighs, and then slapped her buttocks several times.

Snap! Snap!

Every time he took a picture, Cao Xing would feel a soft touch.

Elisa's body trembled slightly and she begged for mercy.

“Wu…wuwu…”

"My Lord... Elisa is wrong..."

The girl's cry for mercy not only did not make Cao Xing slow down his intensity, but made him hit her even harder.

“Wuwu…”

But after a few times, Elisa suddenly stopped moving.

Cao Xing thought he had gone too far and stopped what he was doing.

"Elissa? Did I go too far?"

But at this moment, the little girl raised her head.

Under Cao Xing's surprised gaze, she held Cao Xing's cheeks and kissed him directly.

At this moment, Cao Xing was stunned.

He didn't expect that Elisa would do such a bold thing.

Their lips touched.

Although Elisa's movements are still unfamiliar, they have a unique flavor...

There was also a burst of fragrance coming from the tip of my nose.

Hmm... there is also a hint of milky aroma...

After a moment, their lips parted.

Elisa wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

She smiled slyly, "Lord, please don't tell my father~"

After saying that, Elisa trotted out of the bullpen...

It took Cao Xing a long time to come back to his senses.

He touched the lingering fragrance at the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly: "Oh my god... I seem to have been tricked by this little girl."

"Next time I get the chance, I'll teach you a lesson."

Mr. Cao cannot swallow this humiliation.

Then he dusted himself off.

After leaving the cowshed, I returned to the lord's cottage.

…

Cao Xing simply washed up and went back into bed.

However, he hadn't fallen asleep yet.

A pair of slender legs hooked up and were rubbing gently.

Cao Xing raised his head and saw the fiery eyes behind Liu Muxue's beautiful face.

The depression of the previous two nights also made this woman a little eager...

"Axing..."

Cao Xing sighed in his heart.

Fortunately, I am now a third-level wizard with a strong physique, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to handle it.

After satisfying Liu Muxue again, the two fell into a deep sleep...

…

late at night.

After most creatures fell into a deep sleep.

The Great Rift Valley camp where Montev was located was still burning with a raging fire.

However, after seven or eight hours of burning, the fire has gradually subsided a lot.

The various buildings inside, including the bodies of the rangers, were basically burned to ashes.

Several ranger killers with elite strength quickly came to the side of the Great Rift Valley and saw the flames rising into the sky in the camp.

They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"God of Light! The base of the Montra priests was destroyed!"

"We were just away on a mission for a few days, how could this happen?"

"Priest Montra is a master at the fourth level of the leader. Apart from the Knight Captain of the Ice Crystal Kingdom, who else has the strength to deal with him?"

At this time, a Ranger killer whose aura was about to reach the fourth level said, "Don't worry about it for now, let's go investigate and see if we can find any clues!"

"Leave one person behind to search the Grand Canyon to find the direction the murderers left."

After this person finished speaking, the other killers nodded one after another.

"yes!"

Then they descended to the bottom of the rift valley and began searching.

Ten minutes later.

The killers gathered together again and shook their heads.

"There are no clues. The battle must have taken place several hours ago. It is impossible to determine the identity of the enemy based on the situation here."

Another killer replied: "All the bodies were burned, and we can't tell the enemy's strength from the wounds on their bodies."

Including the person in charge of searching for the killer above the Great Rift Valley, who also came over.

"I have just searched the canyon and found no clues. The other party is very clean."

After they finished speaking, the other ranger killers fell silent.

The assassin captain frowned and said, "Trouble... Being able to destroy Montra's camp shows that the enemy has the power to threaten many of our Illuminati's bases."

"If they continue to target our Church of Light, our plans in Snowstorm may be hindered."

Hearing this, the other Ranger Killers also frowned.

After a moment, the killer captain continued.

"But the only good news is that they deliberately erased all traces, which means they don't want to attract the attention of our Church of Light."

"That is to say, these people are not that strong, and they cannot be the regular army of the Ice Crystal Kingdom."

The other killers nodded.

This may be the only good news for them.

The assassin captain changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "But no matter what, this matter must be reported to the Bishop as soon as possible!"

"If we find these guys who dare to blaspheme the God of Light, we must impose the most severe sanctions on them!"

The killers made their decision and quickly left the place.

…

…

The next day...

Cao Xing still held the beauty in his arms and slept soundly.

A system prompt appears.

[Survivors, please note that you have passed the fifth day of the official period. The difficulty of the monsters in the Ice Nest has increased. From today on, the second-level Ice Nest monsters will appear. 】

[Weather forecast: light wind, suitable for going out and developing territory, please pay attention to the snow on the ground...]

…

See the system prompt.

The two opened their eyes.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Has a second-level Ice Nest Monster appeared?"

"Are the survivors up to par in terms of level?"

So he took a look at the discussions on the chat channel and roughly understood the current situation.

In the entire 174th District, there are more than 2,000 survivors who have broken through to the second level, which is almost one in ten.

The levels of the other survivors are roughly between level 7 and 9.

He nodded secretly, "Sure enough, with Ice Nest here, everyone's level is increasing quite fast."

As the number of Tier 2 survivors increased, the Legion began to rise.

Just as I discussed with Wu Xinghu at the time, the trend of survivors banding together is a major trend.

The founders of these [Legios] all began to advertise in chat channels.

Wu Xinghu: "The first army of District 174, Binghu, is recruiting. We have 57 second-level warriors, 47 territories, and sufficient supplies. Anyone who joins Binghu is a brother!"

Zhou Bo: "The Tiandao Corps is recruiting. We have 43 second-level warriors and 54 territories. As long as you join us, you can bring your family and polar people to our territory headquarters and no longer have to worry about the threat of ice nest monsters!"

Qiu Yating: "The Xinzhou Army is recruiting. We also have 18 second-level warriors and a third-level elite warrior under our command. We are enough to easily deal with the current stage of the Ice Nest."

There are currently only four corps in District 174.

After all, at the current stage, it is still quite difficult to establish a legion.

What surprised Cao Xing was that Qiu Yating was not dead and even formed a legion.

I haven't contacted her since I last came out of the Witch Forest.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "This is quite interesting!"

"It seems that they have also gained some opportunities in the Witch Forest. They actually have a third-level elite subordinate."

"I just wonder if she completed the mission she mentioned."

However, this has nothing to do with Cao Xing.

Although the third-level elite is powerful, it is insignificant to the strength of Cao Xing's territory.

Just send out a Boar Warrior to take it out.

At the same time, seeing the recruitment information of those legions, the survivors also threw a series of questions below.

Zheng Yan: "Boss Wu Xinghu, how can you Binghu join? I am a second-level mechanic, and I have two second-level warriors under me. I want to join your territory."

Feng Yu: "Yes, everyone's territories are too far apart now. If I join your army, how can I get to your territory?"

Wu Xinghu replied: "You don't have to worry about the distance. Once you join a legion, the survivors of the same camp will have a 10% movement speed bonus when they go to another legion's territory.

"And as the legion's level increases, the movement speed bonus also increases."

"If the distance is too far, we can travel back and forth after a while once we build military transport vehicles."

"Also, even if you join the legion, it doesn't mean you have to give up your own territory. You can still develop at your own pace."

"The role of the Legion is just to unite everyone and better allocate resources."

Hearing this, the other survivors asked one after another: "Boss Wu Xinghu, if we join your army, do we have to hand over all the resources in our territory? What can we get then?"

"Yes, yes, what are the benefits of joining the legion besides being able to visit the same camp's territory?"

Wu Xinghu answered: "As mentioned above, there are two development modes after joining the army."

"The first option is that you bring your family and everyone to my legion's territory headquarters, which is my territory."

"Under this method, you need to hand over all your resources, and all personnel will be under my command."

"The good thing is that you don't have to worry about the development of the territory, nor do you have to worry about the safety of the Icebrood monsters."

"The bad thing is that you lose your territory."

"The second option is that you continue to develop your territory as before, and I will have permission to view your territory's basic resources, but I can only mobilize 40% of your resources at most."

"However, I promise here that as long as you join our Ice Tiger Corps, I will never use your resources privately, and I will also allocate some materials to other territories based on your contribution and the urgency of the situation to achieve common development."

After Wu Xinghu finished speaking, he immediately received a lot of support.

Many of the survivors decided to join the Ice Tigers.

Currently, a level 1 legion can accommodate up to 100 territories. If so many resources are concentrated and distributed reasonably.

Their territory will develop rapidly.

Of course, some people also joined Zhou Bo's Tiandao Army.

Even Qiu Yating's New Continental Corps recruited more than 30 people.

The heated discussions in the chat channel could hardly fail to attract the attention of the survivors.

In the lord's hut.

Liu Muxue asked softly: "Ah Xing, don't we need to form an army?"

Cao Xing shook his head.

"Not for now."

"In order for a territory to develop, it needs not only population but also materials."

"We currently have both of these, and we just need to maintain the current pace of development."

The main reason was that Cao Xing felt that it would be troublesome to manage too many people.

After hearing Cao Xing's explanation, Liu Muxue nodded suddenly.

"Let's go, Muxue, we need to get up."

"Okay..."

Soon, the two pushed open the door of the lord's hut.

Because the pace of Cao Xing's territory development is still the same as yesterday.

So the people got up early in the morning and went to work.

Those who mine are mining, and those who cut down trees are cutting down trees.

There is no need for Cao Xing to give any more instructions.

However, there are still some people waiting outside the territory.

Old Mel and Duan, along with a group of polar people, saluted Cao Xing respectfully.

After the routine greetings.

Cao Xing asked, "Mr. Mel, what's the matter?"

Old Mel nodded with a look of joy on his face.

"My Lord, as you ordered, I have collected all the hair from the 19 Cloud-colored Buffaloes. Please have a look."

Hearing this, Cao Xing also became interested.

As long as the hair is processed, he can wear clothes that generate heat on their own!

A quick glance at the blue and white hair in Old Mel's hand.

[Yuncai yak hair: special material]

[Material properties: Thermal energy storage (absorbed thermal energy can be stored in the hair and released slowly)]

[Remaining useful life: 12 years]

(Tip: If the hair no longer generates heat, place it near a stove or other heat source for a while to allow it to reabsorb the heat and resume its heat-generating function.)

…

After seeing this explanation, Cao Xing's eyes showed enlightenment.

Although the hair of the Yuncai yak can store heat energy, it cannot generate heat permanently.

As its magic power is lost, it will also gradually lose its spirituality.

Still, twelve years is a long time.

Cao Xing collected all the hair from Old Mel and put it into his backpack.

[Obtained: Yuncai yak hair*22.84KG]

…

"Not bad, not bad!"

"With nearly 23 kilograms of hair, we can make several down coats."

Cao Xing said with satisfaction: "Mr. Meier, you have worked hard."

"These hairs are very helpful for territory."

Mel nodded respectfully and stepped back.

Duan also came over at this time.

Then he reported: "Lord, according to your instructions, the alchemy workshop has been built to the intermediate level, and the infirmary has also been built."

"In addition, we also upgraded the polar man's hut to level 5. Do you want to check it out?"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned.

"Has the Polar Man's Hut been upgraded to level 5?"

He looked over and saw at a glance the one-story stone building about three meters high next to the lord's cottage.

[Polar Hut: Level 5]

[Building function: You can summon polar people to work for you by consuming food. ]

【Area: 60 square meters】

[Maximum number of recruits: 8/20]

[Required to upgrade to level 6: Level 6 Lord's Mansion, Stone*500, Wood*300, Iron*200, Refined Iron*100, Intermediate Element Crystal*10]

…
