"If you hadn't come tonight, I would have taken the villagers to spend the night in the mine in the Borelis Mountains..." the village chief said excitedly.
"So serious?" Cao Xing was stunned.
Village Chief Maldo nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Cao Xing..."
"You don't know... those snow demons are so ferocious. We haven't slept for several nights. We haven't eaten or drunk anything for the past few days."
"I had no other choice, so I sent the militia out to look for you."
"We have even made plans to move out of the village..."
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief. We are here now, aren't we?"
The village chief was quite easy to talk to. When he took Old Mel and his cattle away, he didn't say much.
Village chief Maldo was also delighted when he heard this.
"You're right, Lord Cao Xing is here, we are finally saved!"
He believed in Cao Xing's strength, and the other militiamen also had smiles on their faces.
The village chief continued, "Lord Cao Xing, the snow demon will only appear in the second half of the night."
"I have already reserved a room in the village. Why don't you arrange for your men to go inside and rest for a while, and then we can discuss the details?"
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay."
Then, under the guidance of the militiamen, he entered the village of Hoge.
On the street, the villagers looked at them with hope, as if they were a group of saviors!
They all knew that Cao Xing came to help Hogg Village.
Just as the village chief Maldo said, many empty houses have been vacated in the village. There are stoves burning in them and quilts are laid out, so it is quite warm.
He arranged the fighters, including Liu Muxue, in a room in the center of the village.
Then, Cao Xing followed the village chief and walked alone on the streets of Hogg Village.
As they walked, Cao Xing asked, "Village Chief Maldo, based on your observations over the past few nights, do you have a rough estimate of the number of these snow demons?"
Village Chief Maldo nodded and said, "Yes! Although we dare not go out at night, we still know the number of snow demons roughly through the number of casualties on the second day."
"And we found that the number of snow demons is gradually increasing."
"On the first night, only one yeti appeared. It broke into a house and ate the heart of a villager."
"When we found the bodies of the family the next day, they were already frozen..."
The village chief of Maldo sighed.
"But you know, in this world, death is very normal. We didn't take it seriously. We thought the snow demon would not come back the next day after eating."
"The next night, the snow demon appeared again, and the number of casualties increased to two families."
"Last night, more snow demons appeared!"
"We even heard frequent knocks on the door late at night."
"After daybreak, we discovered that five households had been killed by the snow demon."
"In the past three nights, the number of villagers killed by these snow demons has exceeded fifty."
Village chief Maldo's face turned pale.
Cao Xing listened thoughtfully.
There were five snow demons that appeared last night.
This number is similar to what the militiaman Arno told me.
Cao Xing continued to ask: "Do you have a general idea of the strength of these snow demons?"
Maldo thought for a moment and replied, "Because most of us in Hog Village are ordinary people, we don't know how powerful these snow demons are."
"But I think the aura of those snow demons should be similar to that of the knight next to you."
After listening to what Village Chief Maldo said, Cao Xing looked thoughtful again.
It's about the same as Assam, that is, the strength of a third-level boss.
And he already had a clue in his mind.
Five level three boss-class snow demons suddenly appeared. If it were a few days ago, Cao Xing would not have been so sure.
But now... with the power he brings, it's easy to deal with.
At this time, the village chief of Maldo said worriedly: "Lord Cao Xing, we all know that the legendary monster, the Snow Demon, is very powerful. Even those powerful knights say that the Snow Demon cannot be killed."
"We don't ask you to kill the snow demons. You just need to show your strength and scare them away. The snow demons won't appear again in a short time."
Cao Xing listened thoughtfully, then replied, "Okay, I understand."
"Chief Maldo, remember to keep all villagers indoors tonight."
"Yes, Lord Cao Xing!"
The village chief of Maldo said solemnly: "If you succeed, our Hog Village will remember your kindness!"
After saying this, Village Chief Maldo excitedly went to report.
Cao Xing and other subjects were quietly waiting for the night to fall in their respective rooms.
…
…
Time passes slowly.
The cold wind howled in Hogg Village at night.
Because of the village chief's order, there was no one in the entire village.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to go see Elena.
Because she was targeted by the snow demon last night and luckily escaped.
Maybe the snow demon will come to her again tonight.
So, Cao Xing looked at Liu Muxue in the house and said, "Muxue, I'm going to go out for a while. I'll call you if anything happens."
At this moment, Liu Muxue was holding a broken sword and a shield, resting by the stove.
After hearing the voice, she nodded her head, "Okay, Xing."
After saying that, Cao Xing pushed open the door.
In an instant, the temperature dropped drastically.
I don’t know if it’s because of the invasion of the snow demon, but there is not a single street light in Hogg Village at night, and the silence is a bit depressing.
To be honest, this was the first time that Cao Xing stayed overnight outside the territory, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
However, he didn't think much about it.
Following the route in my memory, I meandered through the village paths.
Soon, Cao Xing arrived at the door of the grain store.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was a knock on the door, but there was no response from inside the grocery store, and even the stove was not burning.
But Cao Xing knew that Elena should be in the room.
But she was frightened by what happened last night, so she didn't dare to respond.
"Elena, it's me."
I heard a familiar voice, and suddenly there was the sound of tables and chairs moving inside.
Then the sound of "thump thump thump" was heard.
After a while, the door of the grocery store opened slightly.
She revealed a face as white as snow, with charming features between her eyebrows, but a mature face that looked a little tired.
After seeing the figure at the door, the beautiful woman in front of him opened her mouth slightly and then let out a cry of surprise.
"My Lord! It's really you!"
There was a strong surprise in her eyes, and she even seemed a little bit unbelievable.
"Am I...am I dreaming?"
"Why are you here at this hour?"
"You...you are not a snow demon in disguise, right?"
Elena threw out several questions in succession.
Cao Xing laughed and said, "Of course it's not a dream. Also, who told you that the snow demon could disguise itself as a human?"
After hearing this, the charming mature woman in front of her already believed that Cao Xing was real.
There was a strong sense of joy in her beautiful eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to remember something, and her delicate facial features trembled.
"My Lord... there are snow demons lurking at night, please come in quickly!"
After saying that, she opened the door.
Then he took Cao Xing's hand, skillfully lifted his arm, and placed it in the soft flesh under his armpit.
However, Elena's body seemed a little cold.
Because she didn't dare to turn on the stove, she could only rely on her own body temperature to get through the cold winter nights.
After entering the room, the temperature inside was also very low, reaching -28℃.
Cao Xing said, "Light up the stove, Elena."
Elena seemed a little hesitant and a little afraid...
However, Cao Xing said, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Hearing this, Elena smiled charmingly.
"It's all up to you, sir~"
After saying that, Elena turned around, bent over and lit the stove.
After a while, waves of warmth came over me.
Cao Xing found a stool and sat next to the stove.
Elena stroked his buttocks with both hands, then sat on his lap skillfully, put one hand around his neck, and snuggled in his arms.
The soft touch made Cao Xing pinch it subconsciously.
Elena said with a grumble.
"My Lord~"
Cao Xing hugged Elena and said directly, "I heard that your grocery store was almost invaded by a snow demon last night."
Hearing this, the beautiful woman in his arms trembled, and then a look of fear appeared on her face.
"Yes~ Fortunately, I sensed the danger and hid in the basement in advance."
"That snow demon came in but didn't find me, so it went to Salma's house next door..."
"The next day when I went out, I saw the bodies of the five members of the Salma family lying on the ground..."
Her voice was a little trembling, and it was obvious that she was really frightened.
Elena said softly, "I also heard from the village chief. He asked each of us to contribute some money. He wants you to come and deal with the snow demon."
"But I know that snow monsters are very powerful, and I'm worried that you might be in danger, so I didn't agree..."
"In the end... you came after all..."
Having said that, Elena looked worried and looked at Cao Xing anxiously.
"How about... before the snow demon comes out, why don't you escape first?"
Elena looked at Cao Xing with a serious expression under her smoky eyeshadow.
However, Cao Xing smiled and said, "I'm leaving. Are you not afraid of the snow demon anymore?"
Hearing this, the woman in his arms lowered her head and spoke softly.
"Afraid……"
Cao Xing patted her on the back and consoled her, "Don't worry, I will take care of those snow demons."
Hearing this, Elena's eyes became more worried.
She didn't want Cao Xing to be in danger, but things had come to this point and she could only trust the man in front of her.
"My Lord...you must be careful..."
Elena whispered.
Cao Xing nodded and replied, "Okay, I know."
At this time, she took Cao Xing's hand and said, "Sir, your hands are a little cold."
"It will take a while for the stove to heat up, I'll warm you up first."
After saying that, Elena put his hand into her collar.
Cao Xing only felt his hands being wrapped in two warm and soft lumps, and the faint body temperature of the beautiful woman in his arms coming from him.
As an ordinary person, Elena's physique is not strong, and her body is still cold.
Cao Xing held her in his arms, slowly warming her up.
As the stove continued to burn, Elena's body temperature gradually recovered.
She snuggled in Cao Xing's arms, her body no longer so stiff, appearing as gentle as water.
After a while, Elena lay in Cao Xing's arms, enjoying this rare warm moment.
Although she was still worried about the snow demon, she only felt a sense of security when she snuggled in the man's arms.
As Cao Xing moved, Elena continued to make charming noises, and her body temperature rose again.
The soft buttocks twisted in Cao Xing's arms.
…
In the surprised eyes of the beautiful woman.
Cao Xing placed her face up in front of him.
Elena immediately grabbed Cao Xing's collar.
Then, she moved her body to her heart's content, uttering a series of charming sounds.
"My lord...my lord..."
Elena's voice is very nice, as soft as honey~
At this moment, filled with joy, he was like a singing lark, emitting waves of pleasant songs.
Half an hour later.
Cao Xing picked her up directly.
Elena's eyes widened.
Her plump and slender legs were swaying in the air.
Elena only felt herself trembling all over.
She said in a trembling voice, "Master...go...go into the room."
Cao Xing simply held her in his arms and walked into the room in the same posture.
…
Cao Xing once again realized the power of a mature woman...
Two full hours later...
Elena was completely exhausted and lay on the bed like a puddle of mud.
"Sir... you are amazing..."
"If this continues, Elena will never forget this feeling in her life..."
After hearing this, Cao Xing asked directly, "Elena, do you want to go to my territory with me?"
Hearing this, Elena was stunned, and the charm in her eyes disappeared.
Then, she said with some fear:
"Can a woman like me also join your territory, sir?"
Cao Xing laughed after hearing this, "Of course, my territory still needs a lot of manpower."
Hearing this, Elena bit her lower lip lightly, still seeming a little hesitant.
Cao Xing saw through her thoughts.
She was worried that she didn't know how to fight and didn't have any special skills.
As a result, she couldn't be of much help to Lord Cao Xing.
So, Cao Xing asked directly: "Elena, can you sew clothes?"
Elena raised her head after hearing this, and then replied softly, "Yes, the clothes I wear are all made by myself."
"That's great, our territory just happens to need more tailors."
Cao Xing said with a smile on her face: "There is only one person working in the sewing shop at the moment, and she is a bit overwhelmed."
"I would be happy if you would join my territory."
Elena seemed to be persuaded by Cao Xing and asked softly, "Sir... can you really let me join your territory?"
"Of course, you don't want to?"
Hearing this, Elena burst into tears of joy. She quickly nodded and said, "Yes! Elena is very willing!"
At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and said coquettishly, "Then in this case, won't I be yours from now on?"
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."
After receiving Cao Xing's affirmative answer, Ailiannafang felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
Just when she was trying to muster up her strength to have another go at Cao Xing.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Elena shuddered all over.
It is already late at night. When there is a knock on the door, you know without thinking that it is most likely the snow demon outside.
Cao Xing patted her soft back and said, "Don't worry, put on your clothes first."
At the same time, Cao Xing quickly put on his clothes.
Thanks to his powerful hearing, he could even hear four or five knocks on doors throughout the village.
So, Cao Xing dialed the communication device numbered "4" on his ear.
"Rabu, is the Boar Warrior ready?"
“Sizzle…sizzle…”
The sound of electric current was heard, and after a moment, the sound of cloth being pulled came to my ears.
"My Lord, everything is ready."
"I'm squatting on the roof of a villager's house. Just as you expected, all the snow demons have appeared."
"There are six snow demons in total, one more than the intelligence reported."
"Also, we found a snow demon with a very strong aura among them. It seems to be near where you are."
A snow demon with a very strong aura?
Cao Xing said, "I understand. Let the four wild boar warriors approach the snow demon on my side."
"Then have the other boar warriors form groups of three and approach the other snow demons. Once they are within attack range, they should stop and report to me."
"As you command, Lord."
After giving instructions to Lab, Cao Xing made other calls and told them to go to their respective locations.
All of a sudden, everyone was ready for battle.
“Boom! Boom!”
The knocking on the door outside continued, becoming more and more urgent.
Cao Xing held the staff and waited patiently.
According to Lab, the snow demon outside has a very strong aura and is more terrifying than other snow demons.
In other words, the opponent is either a level 4 creature or a level 3 boss!
At this moment, the being outside the door seemed to have lost his patience.
"Bang!"
The wooden door of the grain store was knocked open.
Cao Xing heard a series of heavy footsteps.
At the same time, Cao Xing had already asked Elena to hide in the basement.
He picked up his staff and walked out of the room.
Cao Xing saw a monster with antlers, grayish white body, and crawling on all fours like a wild beast appeared in the grocery store.
At this moment, the monster seemed to have discovered Cao Xing in the room.
It slowly opened its dark mouth.
"It is indeed a snow demon, but this one is much stronger than the one I encountered last time!"
Cao Xing did not feel afraid, but quickly checked the attributes of this snow demon.
【Snow Devil】
[Level: Level 27 (Level 3 Boss-level creature)]
【Race: Unknown】
[Health: 52890/52890]
【Attack power: 2261~2317】
[Skill: Ghost Body (Immune to 60% of physical damage)
Elemental Body (Immune to 60% of magic damage)
Heart-Slitting Tongue (extends a long tongue and attacks the heart of an enemy 15 meters away, causing 230% damage and a certain chance of causing instant death)
Snow God (When HP drops below 50%, dodge probability increases by 50%, and can transform into an elemental body, blending into the snow and escaping quickly. In the Snow God state, you are immune to all control skills)
Snowstorm (creates a blizzard area, reducing the defense of all enemies within the range by 30%, reducing movement speed by 30%, and increasing the attack power of the Snow Demon Leader by 30%. The snowstorm lasts for 5 minutes, and the skill cooldown time is 60 minutes)
[Talent: Snow Body (In the snow, restore 5% of your health per second)]
…
"Good fellow, this is truly a leader-level snow demon!"
"But this Snow Demon's skills seem to be much stronger than the boss-level Snow Demon!"
The damage reduction of [Elemental Body] and [Wrathful Body] reaches 60%.
In addition, [Snowfield Body] can restore at least 2600 health points per second.
If the output is insufficient, even if you stand there and let you chop it, you won't be able to reduce its health!
So even though it's only Tier 3, this guy is tougher than some Tier 4 bosses!
When Cao Xing saw its [Snow God] skill, he frowned.
"It's a bit troublesome. For a leader-level snow demon, you only need to reduce its health to 50% before you can use this escape skill."
"That is to say, I must reduce its HP by at least 27,000 in a short period of time before I can possibly kill it."
At this moment, Cao Xing took a deep breath.
Twenty-seven thousand burst damage, plus a 60% reduction, means at least sixty thousand damage will burst out instantly!
"This is outrageous! No wonder almost no one has ever killed a snow demon."
"Even if we let a Tier 4 boss come over, he still won't be able to deal that much damage, right?"
At the same time, the snow demon has already attacked Cao Xing!
A scarlet tongue suddenly spit out from that pitch-black mouth and shot towards Cao Xing like a sharp arrow.
call out!
But Cao Xing did not dodge, he just raised his hand and threw out an [Ice Breaking Flying Blade].
Both attacks hit simultaneously.
Snap!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A layer of the holy shield on Cao Xing's body was shattered.
However, three damage numbers appeared above the head of the snow demon leader.
【-1932】
【-3214! 】
【-2078】
…
Because [Body of the Vengeful Spirit] reduced Cao Xing's damage by 60%.
But even so, it directly reduced the Snow Demon leader's health by more than 7,000.
"roar!!"
The snow demon leader was attacked and let out a roar!
It stuck out its tongue, as if it wanted to continue its attack.
Cao Xing simply released an [Ice Wall].
Then follow up with a [Ice Soul Spin Gun]!
Bang! The ice wall blocked the snow demon's attack.
The [Ice Soul Spinning Lance] spun at high speed and slashed through the body of the Snow Demon Leader.
Whoosh—whoosh—
【-1189】
【-1163】
【-1321】
【-1032】
Four damage numbers appear.
Two seconds into the fight.
Cao Xing knocked away tens of thousands of HP of the Snow Demon leader, and it also recovered more than 5,000 HP.
Elena, who was hiding in the basement, saw this scene through the gap in the floor and was immediately filled with surprise.
She didn't know exactly how strong Cao Xing was.
She only knew that Cao Xing seemed to be able to deal with the snow demon with ease.
And I will have to go back to this man's territory with him in the future.
When she thought of this, Elena felt a strong sense of security.
However, although Cao Xing felt great after using these two skills, he also fell into a bad situation.
After all, the more powerful the skill, the longer the cooldown time.
At this moment, he saw that the snow demon still wanted to attack him.
Cao Xing simply called out, "Sarah."
The next moment.
The shadow blade appeared from behind the snow demon leader and slashed through in an instant!
【-1732】
【-1633】
【-4754! 】
The gift of liberation!
The heavy damage dealt a heavy blow to the Snow Demon leader, leaving several deep knife wounds on his back that were deep enough to reveal the bones!
"roar!!!"
It never imagined that there was such a powerful assassin hiding in the dark!
The health of the Snow Demon Leader, which had just recovered, was reduced again!
Not only that, five or six figures appeared at the door.
They were the four elite wild boar warriors led by Lab and Liu Muxue holding a shield.
The snow demon realized immediately that this was a premeditated siege.
The sense of crisis in its heart prompted it to turn around and run towards the door!
…
