Cao Xing said, "Well, I'll give you a chance."

"From now on, you will work hard for me in the territory for three months."

"As a reward, I would like to help you reach the fourth level of strength."

"Then I will allow you to go back and save your family. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. How about that?"

At this moment, when Sabina heard Cao Xing say that he would help her improve to the fourth level of strength, she thought she was hallucinating.

And when she heard the latter sentence, she was stunned where she was.

"What did you say?"

"Are you willing to help me reach level 4, and are you willing to let me go back to save people?"

There was strong disbelief in her tone.

Cao Xing nodded.

For him, the reason he bought Sabina was simply because of her skill of [Advanced Poison Technique].

With his current development speed, the strength of the territory would probably increase many times in three months.

By then, a senior poison master will be of no use.

There's nothing wrong with letting her go.

After getting Cao Xing's affirmation, Sabina took a few deep breaths.

She asked again tentatively, "Really...Is it really only necessary to work for three months?"

Cao Xing replied: "Yes, but the premise is that you work hard."

Sabina was immediately excited when she heard this: "I will work hard. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do my best to complete it!"

"Thank you, merciful Lord!"

[Due to your promise, the loyalty of territory member Sabina has been increased. Current loyalty: 71]

…

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing smiled.

Then, he nodded and said, "Very good, you should go back to your room and take care of your wounds."

"Everyone else can go home, too."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, the women looked at each other, then turned around and left.

Sabina stood up slowly.

Then he took out a small bottle from his pocket.

"This is detoxifying powder. Apply it to the wound of this snake-man lady. It will quickly remove the toxins."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned, then took it.

[Obtain: Detoxification powder (blue) * 1]

Look at the attributes.

[Detoxification Powder (Blue): Can relieve some common poisoning conditions]

…

Although the poison attack caused by Sabina was not strong, Liu Muxue could solve it with a purification spell.

But with this detoxifying powder, it is much more convenient.

Under Cao Xing's order, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Those who need to go back to their rooms should go back to their rooms, and those who need to rest should rest.

Cao Xing looked at the snake girl next to him and said, "Ilena, come with me."

After hearing this, Ilena nodded obediently, then twisted her tail and followed Cao Xing.

…

In the room, Cao Xing opened the bottle cap and poured white powder on Ilena's wound.

At this moment, the beautiful snake woman was half lying on the bed.

The lower part of the snake's tail was placed on Cao Xing's thigh, staring at Cao Xing with a pair of narrow eyes.

Those eyes are not scary, but add a unique beauty to it.

The effect of [detoxification powder] is very good.

Soon the effect of the poison on Ilena's wound disappeared.

Cao Xing clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Ilena, you have ice healing magic on you, you will be able to recover to normal soon."

"Not a bad performance today."

Cao Xing praised.

Hearing this, the snake girl in front of him covered her face and chuckled.

"Lord... since I performed well, can you give me a reward?"

Cao Xing was stunned. "What kind of reward do you need?"

By the way, Ilena is now also a level 30 elite.

The only way to improve her at the moment is to change her weapon or give her a boss-level soul.

But Cao Xing has already used up all of these.

We can only wait and see tomorrow to see if we can get a leader's soul over here.

However, at this moment.

A snake tail covered with white scales had wrapped around Cao Xing's waist.

Ilena raised her upper body and moved closer quickly.

Then, Cao Xing saw a face with black eye shadow and full of exotic style appear in front of him.

The two looked at each other.

Cao Xing felt the heat in the eyes of the beauty in front of him.

"The reward is... this..."

After saying that, Ilena took the initiative to kiss him.

Their lips touched.

At this moment, Cao Xing felt a completely different taste.

It doesn't have a fishy smell, but a refreshing mint-like smell.

It makes people want to taste it more subconsciously.

After a moment, she took Cao Xing's arm and covered her proud chest with it.

The body temperature of the snake people is very low.

Get a piece of cool and soft...

Let Cao Xing also gradually grasp it.

“Hmm…”

Ilena made a seductive sound.

The graceful figure was twisting unconsciously.

This also ignited the fire in Cao Xing's heart.

With a "swish" sound.

The last barrier that blocked the beauty in his arms also disappeared.

A blindingly white carcass was revealed.

Cao Xing held him in his arms, and instantly felt a chill...

"My Lord, are you feeling cool?"

Ilena seemed to be aware of her own physical condition. There was some worry in her eyes, as well as a hint of hidden inferiority.

However, Cao Xing shook his head and chuckled, "It's okay."

Hearing this, Ilena's eyes were filled with joy again.

The two of them were affectionate.

Then she turned around and slowly lowered her head.

Cao Xing only felt a cool but soft touch.

The feeling brought by Xia Yanni and others is different.

Irena's Package...

It's like being in a warm room with a stream of cool spring water constantly washing over you...

Cao Xing pressed down her soft hair with one hand, allowing the source to go deeper...

…

late at night……

Cao Xing didn't know how he came back.

Anyway, he left Ilena's room in a daze, returned to his own cabin, and fell into a deep sleep.

I slept until around nine o'clock the next day.

Cao Xing was the first to open his eyes.

The beauty beside him lay on her side in his arms, her eyes closed, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and she looked like she was sleeping soundly.

At the same time, Liu Muxue gradually woke up from her sleep.

The two smiled at each other, and both felt a rare warmth.

About what happened with Ilena last night.

Cao Xing didn't think much about it.

Because of Ilena's snake-man body, they did not take the last step.

Just simply comforted her.

It's normal for the lord to care about his subordinates, right?

Cao Xing smiled.

Then, he opened the system interface and looked through the system prompts to see if he had missed any important information.

【Attention all survivors: You have passed the eighth day of the official period. 】

[Weather forecast: Today's temperature is -46℃ to -57℃, light wind, suitable for going out]

…

It's just a daily reminder, but there's no important information.

Cao Xing said cheerfully, "The weather is pretty good today. It looks like we can go out now."

Liu Muxue blinked her beautiful eyes after hearing this, and then asked softly, "Ah Xing, where are we going today?"

Hearing this question, Cao Xing also thought for a moment.

Come to think of it, he really should go out today.

After all, there was a primary problem before him.

That is to get a large amount of [Advanced Power Hearts] and [Intermediate Power Hearts].

After last night's battle, almost everyone in the territory has reached the upper limit of their current level, and killing monsters can no longer earn experience.

Urgently need a heart of strength to break through.

And Cao Xing only has two high-level power hearts in his hand.

And there is a chance of failure.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "According to my plan, I have several places where I can obtain resources and use them to improve myself."

"For example, get some bait, find new waters to fish, and then use the fish you catch to exchange for resources with other survivors."

"Or, I can go to the nearby city, Melinde, and sell some of my stuff, and see if I can buy some gold equipment or something."

"Also, I can explore the Witch Forest and the ancient battlefield that Yao Yiming mentioned. I can even continue to flatten the camps of other rangers."

For Cao Xing, there are many ways to become stronger, not limited to staying in the territory to kill Ice Nest Monsters.

After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.

That is, go to the Witch Forest first.

After all, the monsters in that forest are of high level, and the probability of high-level Hearts of Power dropping is also higher.

Moreover, there are monsters like the Ice Crystal Man-Faced Tree whose body is full of treasures.

Plus, there is another witch whose existence has been confirmed.

This time his strength increased dramatically.

Cao Xing also wanted to explore what secrets this forest was hiding.

So, he said directly: "Get up, Mu Xue, let's go to the Witch Forest today."

Hearing this, the beauty in front of him nodded obediently.

She never interferes with Cao Xing's opinion.

As long as Cao Xing made a decision, Liu Muxue would just follow him and carry it out.

This is also her smartness.

Although Liu Muxue is a vassal lord of this territory and has certain permissions, she never uses them.

Cao Xing has the final say on everything in this territory.

Of course, Liu Muxue also has her own important role.

That is to protect Cao Xing closely.

In fact, her fighting ability is not weak, but in comparison, Cao Xing is more worried about his own life.

I would rather have one less fighting force in the fight than not ensure my own safety.

The two washed up and walked out of the lord's cabin.

…

As soon as I walked out of the cabin, the huge temperature difference made me shiver.

Even though they have lived in this world for more than half a month, the extremely cold weather still makes people a little uncomfortable.

Cao Xing took out a [Cloud Colored Teeth Coat] from his backpack and put it on Liu Muxue.

It makes her look elegant and graceful.

Feeling the heat radiating from the coat, a look of surprise appeared on Liu Muxue's pretty face.

"Thank you, Xing."

Cao Xing rubbed her head and chuckled, "Thank you."

Cao Xing has 7 more coats of this kind in his backpack. According to Old Mel, each coat is priceless, and its price is no less than one [Moonlight Orb], which starts at 500,000 kronor.

The coats in Cao Xing's backpack alone are worth several million kronor.

Cao Xing was also looking forward to meeting a new wandering caravan as soon as possible.

This time, he was going to buy a lot of goods from these merchants!

While thinking about these things, he took Liu Muxue to patrol the territory.

In the current territory, all roads have been paved with a layer of bricks, which make a "tapping" sound when stepped on.

Compared to the previous muddy ground, the entire territory looks both clean and beautiful.

The tree spirit sisters are hanging two winter pumpkins in front of each house, which not only serve as decoration but also provide lighting at night.

Dozens of polar men and other staff members were working hard.

"My Lord, I wish you good health."

"Madam Lord, you are as beautiful as the morning dew today, spotless and beautiful."

When these subjects saw them, they would greet them respectfully.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue would also smile and nod to them.

As the two of them gradually passed through the entire territory.

Cao Xing also noticed that there were several new building foundations in the territory.

Three or four polar men were working intensively there.

That is the prototype of the [Mage Tower], [Knight's Hall], and [King's Altar].

It is obvious that Leader Cao Yi has already arranged today's work for all staff members.

The entire territory is in a scene of thriving development.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."

"Now that the territory's infrastructure is almost complete, the next step is to build various advanced buildings to continue to improve the territory's strength."

To Cao Xing's surprise, the newly joined slaves also began to repair the city wall under Dazhuang's command.

There were too many Ice Nest monsters last night. Although Cao Xing's defense was very strong, some of them still rushed to the foot of the city wall.

These icebrood monsters have caused some damage to the city walls, which will require some resources to repair.

There is also the farmer "Mpo", who is also helping Dahua prepare today's food.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing nodded secretly.

"Good, it seems they have developed some sense of belonging to my territory."

Of course, Cao Xing is not ready to have more contact with them now.

As long as they don't think about running away, Cao Xing won't do anything to them.

Gradually, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue came to an empty area in the territory.

Then he shouted, "Fighters, assemble!"

After hearing Cao Xing's order, more than 200 people came over.

More than one hundred Ascalon soldiers, more than one hundred wild boar warriors, including other territory backbones, were staring at Cao Xing with firm eyes.

Cao Xing said directly: "I am going out today and will take some people with me."

Hearing this, everyone had an expectant look in their eyes, as if they hoped that Cao Xing could take them out today.

Then he started calling the roll.

"Sarah, Renis, Hilda, Isabelle, Bron, Assam, Andrew, Brot, Lab, Jonathan, Johansson, Elisa."

There are twelve names in total.

These are the backbone of his territory, all of them are at least level 30 leaders!

With Cao Xing's massive BUFFs, their true combat power can be regarded as that of a level 40 boss.

This is a very terrifying force.

Those whose names were called by Cao Xing all had gentle smiles on their faces.

They all felt honored to fight alongside Cao Xing.

And those who were not named did not feel discouraged.

They just hope they can get stronger faster.

Then next time, when the lord goes out, he can take them with him.

Elisa said excitedly, "Wow! The Lord finally decided to take me out. That's great!"

After saying that, she put her hands on her hips and looked at the archer team behind her, and said proudly: "Hehe! Did you see that? I told you I was so awesome, the lord would definitely take me out!"

Elisa's [Ice Explosion Arrow] has a high damage coefficient and can be charged, which is the main reason why Cao Xing took her out.

The group of archers all had awkward smiles on their faces.

"Captain Elisa is right. You are very powerful."

"Yes, Captain Elisa is the best archer."

Hearing their praise, Elisa touched her head in embarrassment and said, "I'm... I'm not as amazing as you say, hehehe..."

Seeing the proud look on the little girl's face, Cao Xing reminded her, "Elisa, you can't be as free as you want outside."

"Remember, all actions are under my command, and all your skills can only be released according to my instructions. Do you understand?"

Elisa straightened up immediately, "Understood! Lord!"

Looking at the little girl's non-standard standing posture, Cao Xing couldn't help but smile.

Then, he took out the [Crystal Plate Armor] that Liu Muxue had not had time to put on, and asked.

"Bron, Asam, who wants this armor?"

This plate armor is only suitable for melee units like them.

Braum stroked his bald head and laughed, "My Lord, Braum doesn't like to wear clothes. It will affect my ability to show off my muscles."

"You should give it to the Assam Knight."

Cao Xing was speechless.

He also discovered that he had been shirtless ever since he summoned Braum.

No matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop him from being naked.

Of course, this may also be related to Braum's talent: [Ice Veins].

He casually handed the plate armor in his hand to Assam.

The knight took it respectfully.

Then, Cao Xing took out two fist-sized, deep red crystals from his hand.

These are the only two [Hearts of Advanced Power] he has.

He and Liu Muxue were not prepared to use it.

Compared to them, the improvement of these leaders under his command who broke through to the fourth level was obviously greater.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said, "Sarah, Andrew."

The two of them stood up respectfully.

Cao Xing continued, "You are the first members to follow me. Now, use this heart of power to break through to the fourth level."

Sarah and Andrew took it at the same time.

Sarah said with a complicated expression: "Among our dark elves, a fourth-level Phantom Assassin leader is already considered a strong man."

"I thought I would never have the chance to reach this level again..."

Then she whispered, "Thank you."

Andrew also said with emotion: "Yes, the fourth-level druid leader is the strongest person in our tribe except for the tribe leader."

"It's hard to imagine that I was just a second-level druid half a month ago."

"Andrew thanks the Lord for his training!"

Both of them attach great importance to breaking through the fourth level!

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Don't be too happy yet. Although the probability of success is very high, there is still a chance of failure, so you have to be prepared."

After hearing this, the two of them had a faint smile on their faces.

Then, they directly crushed the [Heart of Advanced Power] in their hands.

“Crack! Crack!”

The next moment, a stream of extremely pure red energy flowed into their bodies.

On the field, dozens of pairs of eyes were watching them.

They are also very curious about the metamorphosis from level three to level four.

After waiting for a few minutes.

A surprising aura suddenly emerged from Sarah!

Like a sharp dagger, it gives people a stinging feeling just by looking at it!

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-level creature. The basic attributes have increased by 100%]

When Cao Xing saw the system prompt, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes!

He quickly checked Sarah's attributes.

[Phantom Assassin: Sarah Blade Dance]

[Race: Dark Elf]

[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level 4 Boss-level Creature)]

【Detailed properties: click to expand】

…

Strong! Stronger than ever before!

Obviously, this is the most powerful creature under Cao Xing!

The health has exceeded 60,000, and the attack is about to break 4,000.

In addition, there is a long list of permanent statuses on her status bar.

This makes this powerful phantom assassin almost flawless!

At the same time, Cao Xing also noticed Sarah's skill list.

There is an additional skill called [Shadow Step] above.

Cao Xing asked happily: "Sarah, have you learned a new skill?"

Last time, Cao Xing gave Sarah an [Assassin's Manual (Orange)], which contained many powerful skills.

Sarah smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, I got some insights during the battle last night, and then I went back home and practiced a few more times, and I learned this skill."

"Great! You really are the best assassin!"

Cao Xing is not stingy with his own praise.

This [Shadow Step] is also a stealth skill that can increase movement speed by 50%.

Combined with Sarah's [Invisible], she can truly become a top killer who comes and goes without a trace.

Sarah seemed to be embarrassed by his compliment, her lips moved slightly, and then she lowered her head.

However, at this moment, Andrew's breath suddenly stopped.

He walked over somewhat absentmindedly, and said with a guilty look on his face: "My Lord... I..."

Cao Xing was also stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that even with such a high success rate of [Heart of Advanced Power], Andrew would fail.

In fact, Andrew failed once when he tried to break through the leader or the leader.

Yes, every time he transformed, it brought great help to Cao Xing.

Cao Xing smiled and comforted him, "Don't blame yourself, Andrew."

"In our East, there is an old saying that good things take time."

"Although you encountered some difficulties each time you transformed, you also gained great strength."

"It's the same this time."

Hearing Cao Xing's comfort, Andrew was stunned for a moment.

Then he said with emotion: "You are truly a generous and caring lord."

Cao Xing smiled and didn't say much.

Then, he took out a three-meter-long black rifle from his backpack.

It was the [Executioner's Spear] that Liu Muxue opened from the golden treasure chest last night.

Look at the attributes.

【Executioner Spear (Purple)】

【Quality: Rare】

[Equipment level: above level 30]

【Attack Power: 532~578】

[Attached special effect ①: Strength +80, Agility +60, Hit rate +20%]

[Attached special effect ②: Piercing Spear (When attacking the enemy's vital points, the penetration effect is increased by 30%, and the damage caused is increased by an additional 50%)]

[Attached special effect ③: Execution Spear (Active special effect, when activated, the next attack will increase the hit rate by 100%, the critical hit rate by 100%, and ignore 300 points of enemy armor)]

(Equipment introduction: In the name of the true God Basaze, I now sentence you to death! - Slayer: Ihsan Ibarra)

…

Cao Xing's eyes lit up, "This weapon is not bad!"

"Especially the executioner gun special effect, which is basically a 100% hit rate, very powerful!"

He looked at the two male dragonblood warriors and said, "Jonathan, Jonathan, show me your weapons."

The two tall norns did not hesitate at all.

A tall figure strode over and handed the spear in his hand to Cao Xing.

[Obtained: Norn's Army-Breaking Spear (Purple)]

[Obtained: Norn Standard Long Gun (Blue)]

Both of these weapons are level 20, with average attributes.

Jonathan uses a purple rifle, while Jonathan uses a blue one.

Cao Xing directly handed the [Executioner's Spear (Purple)] to Josente.

Then he said, "I'll give you new weapons next time."

Hearing this, Jonathan smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry about me. The help you have given me is already great enough."

Josent took the new weapon with a respectful look on his face.

"Thank you for your gift. From now on, your orders will be the direction of my gun!"

[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of territory member Joscent has increased. Current loyalty: 95]

…

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing smiled.

Josent's loyalty has skyrocketed from 87 to 95, and will soon reach 100.

I took a look at Johanson's attributes.

[Blood Warrior of Ice Dragon: Joshent]

[Race: Norn]

[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level 3 Boss Creature)]

【Detailed properties: click to view】

…

"Not bad, not bad. 35,000 HP and 1,600 attack points are already very strong for a Tier 3 boss!"

This time, all of Cao Xing's men were upgraded to level 30, and a lot of equipment could be arranged.

Then, Cao Xing took out a broken sword from his backpack. It had an extremely gorgeous appearance and was inlaid with gems on the top.

The moment the broken sword appeared, everyone felt the majesty of a king from Cao Xing!

In an instant, everyone in the territory turned their eyes to Cao Xing.

Especially Queen Victoria.

Her pupils instantly became clear and she stared at the ancient sword!

And all the Ascalon warriors knelt on one knee on the spot.

They shouted excitedly: "Oh my God! This is actually the sword of the king of our Kingdom of Ascalon, Magdel!"

"This weapon actually appeared in the possession of the Lord. Is this God's will?"

Yaskin beside him was also excited and said, "Yes, this must be God's will!"

"This legendary weapon has chosen you, my lord, which means you will become our new king!"

"No wonder we feel a sense of intimacy and submission when we look at the Lord!"

"Let us meet the new king of Ascalon together!"
