"What is this mysterious Cao Xing boss? What level is he? Is he stronger than our leader?"

Hearing this question, Ding Liang thought for a moment.

Then he replied: "We don't know much about the strength of Master Cao Xing, but we estimate... he has already broken through to the third level, right?"

After hearing this, the chat channel fell silent for a moment.

Then there was a chorus of doubts.

"How is this possible!?"

"Even Jiang Qingyun from District 171 has just reached level 16, and he still has some time to reach level 20!"

"That's right, each level up requires too much experience!"

At this time, Jiang Qingyun from District 171 jumped out.

Said: "You mean, Cao Xing in your district has already broken through to the third level?"

This Jiang Qingyun, because of her high popularity.

Therefore, as soon as he spoke, he attracted the attention of a large number of survivors.

Others also questioned Ding Liang, questioning the truthfulness of his words.

Ding Liang replied, "I don't know, but judging by Boss Cao Xing's speed, reaching level 20 should be a very easy task."

"Is it a simple thing?"

Jiang Qingyun replied with interest: "Really? Then tell me, what level is Cao Xing now?"

There was a sense of superiority in his tone, as if he was questioning his subordinates.

Ding Liang said, "I said, I don't know."

After Jiang Qingyun heard this, his tone suddenly became somewhat unhappy.

"Don't you know what you are talking about?"

"Do you know how much experience you will need to level up each time?"

"Even among our regional leaders, the fastest one has only just reached level 16. You actually said that Cao Xing has already broken through to level 3. You are really boastful!"

After being scolded by Jiang Qingyun, Ding Liang was speechless.

He didn't know why he seemed to have angered the other party just by mentioning Cao Xing. He was inexplicably scolded by Jiang Qingyun.

But he was not used to this Jiang Qingyun, and directly replied: "Why are you so excited? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it."

"Brother Cao Xing's strength is recognized by all of us in District 174. He has already reached level 10 just a few days after the ranking list came out."

At the same time, seeing Jiang Qingyun questioning Cao Xing, the survivors in District 174 also echoed him.

They spoke in the chat channel one after another.

"Brother Ding Liang is right. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it."

"That's right, you act like you're the best in the world and no one can be higher than you."

"So what if Boss Cao Xing is stronger than you?"

The survivors from Area 174, who had been silent before, came out one after another at this moment.

Even Jiang Qingyun's speech was drowned out in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the survivors in other districts were immediately surprised.

They discussed it among themselves.

"Who is this Cao Xing Boss? His popularity seems a bit scary!"

"Yeah, he didn't say a word, but he got so many people in District 174 to speak up for him. That's pretty amazing!"

"Indeed... Even Gao Yiyi and other legion leaders can't achieve this kind of cohesion."

At this time, facing the excited survivors in Area 174.

Jiang Qingyun didn't say a word, but directly took out something that looked like a horn and clicked it to use.

Then, a regional announcement appeared.

Regional Notice: "Survivor Lords: Jiang Qingyun has used the Ice Dragon Horn (Small). For the next six hours, some of your territories will not be attacked by the Ice Nest. Please arrange your development time appropriately."

See the information above.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

It seemed that no one expected Jiang Qingyun to use this thing right away.

He seemed to be demonstrating his strength.

A moment later, Jiang Qingyun said in the chat channel: "It's useless to say more. Strength cannot be boasted."

"If this Cao Xing is really as powerful as you say, then let him come out and use the Ice Dragon Horn for us to see."

"If he can withstand the massive attack of the Icebrood, I will acknowledge his strength."

Hearing this, the survivors of Area 174 looked at each other strangely again.

Because Cao Xing had already used the Ice Dragon Horn many days ago, a challenge of this difficulty was no longer a problem for him.

Moreover, does Cao Xing's strength need his recognition?

Seeing that the survivors from Area 174 were silent, Jiang Qingyun sneered, "Do you know the difference?"

"A true top lord is now capable of dealing with large-scale icebrood monsters."

"If you can't do that, you can shut up."

"By the way, Wangjiang Pavilion's army will start recruiting a large number of strong men from today. Join us and build the number one army in District 17!"

"Of course, the weaklings from District 174 shouldn't join. Since you admire Cao Xing so much, just follow him."

"Also, remember to tell Cao Xing not to think that killing Fang Long is the end of the matter!"

…

After hearing Jiang Qingyun's speech, the chat channel once again caused a huge uproar!

"Oh my god... Jiang Qingyun is indeed the top warrior in our District 171. He used the Ice Dragon Horn right away."

"Yes, he is so decisive and powerful. He directly suppressed so many people in District 174. His momentum is really like that of a strong man!"

"By the way, what did Jiang Qingyun mean? Does he have any grudge against Cao Xing?"

"Of course there are grudges. Didn't you hear what he said? This Cao Xing seems to have killed Fang Long, and Fang Long and Jiang Qingyun are both the bosses of the Three Heroes Society."

After hearing this person's explanation, everyone's eyes were filled with enlightenment.

No wonder Jiang Qingyun came out and scolded them the first time he heard them discussing the name Cao Xing.

"I see. Looks like Cao Xing is going to be in trouble."

"Yes, Cao Xing actually dared to provoke the huge organization of the Three Heroes Society and killed Fang Long. This is really a mortal enemy!"

"Jiang Qingyun is worthy of being the boss. His aura is so strong that he directly suppressed so many people in District 174!"

In fact, it was not the survivors of Area 174 whose momentum was suppressed.

It’s because there were too many people speaking on the regional channel, so their messages disappeared in an instant.

Many powerful people from various regions also applied to join Jiang Qingyun's territory because of his Ice Dragon Horn.

The leaders of other legions also gradually realized this.

The next moment, a system prompt appeared again.

Regional Notice: "Survivor Lords: Gao Yiyi has used the Ice Dragon Horn (Small). For the next six hours, some of your territories will not be attacked by the Ice Nest. Please work together to arrange your development time."

The next moment after the regional announcement appeared, Gao Yiyi also spoke in the chat channel.

Gao Yiyi: "The first legion in District 172, Gaoshan Liushui Legion, is recruiting. Survivors above level 2 can chat with me privately. All compatriots are welcome to join."

At this moment, the survivors from other regions understood.

Obviously, after using [Ice Dragon Horn], a regional notification will appear.

This is like free advertising.

At this time, if the head of the legion stepped forward and issued a recruitment notice, it would surely attract many strong people.

After all, anyone who dares to use the Ice Dragon Horn at this stage must be extremely powerful!

So, it didn't take long.

Instantly, more than a dozen system prompts appeared.

The top strongmen in each region, or the territories that have the ability to fight against a large number of Icebrood monsters.

They all used the Ice Dragon Horn and immediately issued a recruitment notice.

As for Jiang Qingyun's actions against Cao Xing and the survivors of District 174, they quickly put them behind their minds.

Compared with such personal grudges, they are more concerned about their future development.

Obviously, joining a powerful legion would give them a better living space.

Enthusiasm in various regions is high, and system prompts are ringing one after another.

However, Area 174 remained as quiet as ever.

No one used the [Ice Dragon Horn] or posted a recruitment notice.

The survivors of Area 174 were naturally ridiculed by many people.

In particular, the Wangjiang Pavilion Corps where Jiang Qingyun belonged was extremely sarcastic on the chat channel.

They said they blew it very loudly, but it turns out that there was no one in Area 174 who could use the [Ice Dragon Horn].

This makes everyone feel extremely depressed!

…

At the same time.

In an area about 300 kilometers away from Cao Xing Territory.

A middle-aged man was standing at the edge of the territory, staring at the snow outside.

He had a square face with a resolute expression and a hint of ferocity between his brows.

This person is Wu Xinghu.

Next to him, a young man who looked to be in his twenties asked, "Brother, the guys from other districts seem to be influenced by Jiang Qingyun and are planning to attack District 174."

"Should we not use the Mark of the Ice Dragon to show off our strength or recruit some people?"

Hearing this, Wu Xinghu turned around and looked at his territory.

There are hundreds of survivors who have joined him here, and most of them are above level two.

These survivors who have come over can be allowed to join as subjects, and they will also occupy the territory's population.

It's similar to recruiting the natives of this world.

The only difference is that there is no way to see their loyalty.

In addition to these survivors, there are dozens of powerful recruited creatures in Wuxinghu's territory.

The entire territory, including the staff, has about two to three hundred people.

Obviously, with their strength, they are enough to withstand a fierce attack from the Icebrood monsters.

However, Wu Xinghu shook his head and said, "We have the ability to deal with a large number of ice nest monsters."

"But if you use the Ice Dragon Horn, you can only destroy the ice nest the moment it falls."

"There's no way to maximize profits by waiting for the monsters inside to hatch and then kill them."

"Even the leaders of other districts will probably have to resort to this method."

At this point, Wu Xinghu paused and continued, "I did some research and found that the strength of the survivors in other districts, whether in terms of level or equipment quality, is much worse than that of District 174."

"Anyway, we have almost recruited enough people. Before the legion's level is upgraded, there is no need to advertise and rush to recruit people from other districts."

"Protecting our base is the most important thing."

After hearing Wu Xinghu's analysis, the young man also nodded.

The young man asked tentatively, "Boss, that person seems to be targeted by Jiang Qingyun. Should we take this opportunity to attack Jiang Qingyun and gain his favor?"

Wu Xinghu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need."

"That person didn't say anything, and we don't know what he meant. It's better not to get in the spotlight."

"Some things, when taken too far, can backfire."

Hearing this, the young man next to him was moved and nodded respectfully.

The person they were talking about was naturally the most powerful person recognized by District 174, Cao Xing.

However, he is a very low-key person. Apart from speaking a few words during transactions, he cannot be contacted at other times.

Moreover, he did not set up a legion, but just focused on developing his own territory.

Even when Jiang Qingyun from District 171 was mocking him in the chat channel, he did not come out to argue with her.

Including the other three legion commanders of District 174.

Zhou Bo, Qiu Yating and others all remained silent.

…

At the same time.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue had just finished washing up and walked out of the lord's cabin.

He was unaware of what Wu Xinghu and others were discussing about him.

But I saw the prosperity of the chat channel.

"Wow, these guys are quite active. They seem to have a lot of resources."

"That's a good opportunity to raise the price!"

"And this Jiang Qingyun, turned out to be another boss of the Three Heroes Society. I didn't expect to meet him so soon."

Cao Xing had a faint smile on his face.

He didn't take the so-called threat from Jiang Qingyun seriously at all.

After all, in order to show his strength, this fool explained the situation of his territory in detail right away.

Cao Xing learned about it through chat messages.

Jiang Qingyun’s current military corps: Wangjiang Pavilion.

There are nearly two hundred level two survivors, plus more than one hundred level one and two recruited creatures.

And a Tier 2 boss creature as the first leaderboard reward.

For the entire 17th district, this is indeed a very powerful force.

However, for Cao Xing, this strength is not enough.

Just send out an Ascalon army and they will be able to crush it.

"However, this guy's territory is at least 700 to 800 kilometers away from me. It will take a day or two to get there."

"There is no chance of taking his territory away at this point."

Shaking his head, Cao Xing quickly put the threat from this guy behind him.

With his strength, he is no longer on the same level as the survivors.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing came to the side of the market with a relaxed smile on his face.

As soon as the transaction interface was opened, hundreds of thousands of consignment information appeared!

Compared to last night’s consignment information, the price has skyrocketed more than ten times!

"As expected, the quantity of various resources on the market has skyrocketed."

"In that case, we can raise the price of silver salmon meat a bit."

"Then we'll see if we can get some golden salmon meat out of these guys' hidden treasures."

Cao Xing made up his mind.

However, before that, you need to understand the market situation and then decide how to price [Silver Salmon Meat].

He first searched for the recent transaction prices of animal meat, and then searched for trading information of magical creature meat.

Through rough statistics, we learned about the latest market conditions.

in.

The price of green-grade beast meat is 100g = 3~4 Ice Dragon Marks.

For blue-grade meat, 100g = 8~10 Ice Dragon Marks.

The price of purple-grade beast meat is outrageous, starting at 100g = 100 Ice Dragon Marks.

You know, the reason why Cao Xing’s previous purple wild boar meat could be sold at such a high price was because his meat was prefixed with the word "purification".

Its properties have completely surpassed those of ordinary purple beast meat.

It's a bit outrageous that ordinary purple beast meat can be sold at such a high price.

As for the meat of the purple magical creature, it wasn't even seen in the entire market.

Cao Xing was secretly delighted: "Great! At the moment, it seems that I don't have any competitors for the fish I have, so I can double the price!"

"100g of silver salmon meat, I can even offer a high price of 400 Ice Dragon Marks!"

Cao Xing glanced at his backpack with excitement.

After last night's consumption.

There are 81 pieces of silver salmon meat left, which can be divided into 810 transactions.

There are 9 pieces of golden salmon left.

These 810 pieces of silver salmon meat alone can be sold for at least 320,000 Ice Dragon Marks!

There was a look of ecstasy in Cao Xing's eyes!

This number can be said to be quite terrifying!

You can even redeem it directly for 3 gold treasure chests!

…
