Cao Xing looked in the direction where the militiamen left.
Liu Muxue also noticed his abnormality and asked softly, "Ah Xing, what's wrong with you?"
Cao Xing calmed down his emotions, shook his head slowly and said, "It's nothing, let's move on."
Cao Xing did not completely believe the story in the letter.
Only by actually going to [Vallis Village] can you know what really happened.
Now, however, he had things to do.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to wait and see.
There were no accidents on the rest of the journey.
One hour later.
Cao Xing and his men stopped.
In front of them, there appeared a vast and deep forest covered with ice and snow.
The Witchwood.
Compared to the last time he entered the Witch Forest, Cao Xing only has a strength of a dozen levels.
Their current improvement can be described as a qualitative change.
The improvement in strength also made Cao Xing feel more confident.
If Cao Xing encounters that fourth-level black snake again this time, he will not let it escape.
They walked straight into the beautiful witch forest covered with frost.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were heavy footsteps.
Baymax and Wally Bell lead the way.
It is worth mentioning that Wally also used the [Intermediate Power Heart] last night and became a third-level creature.
Now it has reached level 25.
As usual, I took a look at its properties.
【Cao Xing's Pet: Volibear】
[Race: Beast]
[Level: Level 25 57516/200000 (Level 3 Boss-level Creature)]
【Detailed properties: click to view】
…
"Not bad, not bad."
"Wally's health has now reached 47,000. At this rate, it will be easy to break through 50,000 after level 30."
"Complete the fourth level and your health will be at least 90,000!"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt very satisfied.
Although Wally's health is slightly lower than Baymax's.
But its attack power is higher than that of Baymax.
With the blessing of [Blessing of Courage], the attack power is almost reaching three thousand!
Although Cao Xing would not compare the fighting power of his pets.
But the two beasts really started fighting.
Baymax is definitely no match for Volibear.
"I don't know, if Baymax is defeated by Wally, will he feel frustrated?"
Cao Xing smiled and let people move on.
Not long after entering the Witch Forest, they once again encountered a group of third-level Ice Crystal Man-faced Trees blocking their way.
The moment they saw the crowd, a large number of branches attacked them.
“Swish! Swish!”
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was a little confused.
"Hmm? Why do I feel like these human-faced trees are more eager to attack than last time?"
But he didn't think much about it and directly ordered: "Go!"
After receiving the order, Assam and others, whose strength increased dramatically, rushed forward instantly!
“Sizzle…sizzle…”
The sound of electric current began.
Volibear stood up, condensed a ball of lightning power, and smashed it down fiercely.
"BOOM!"
【-3917】
【-4072】
【-3863】
【-3623】
…
In an instant, horrific lightning damage appeared on the heads of the ice crystal human-faced trees.
This move is Volibear's range skill: Thunder of Heaven and Earth!
At the same time.
As Assam raised the King's Blade, a ball of light filled with majestic aura condensed directly!
The next moment, the system prompt appeared.
[Your territory member: Asam has used the skill [Glorious Tribute], which has become permanent due to the influence of the talent [Eternal Power].]
At this moment, with the blessing of [Glory Praise], Assam's weapon radiates a strong light!
Just cut it off with your sword.
【-2614】
-
1307
【-2619】
-
1309
【-2714】
-
1387
…
Due to the effect of [Glorious Praise], all subsequent attacks will be accompanied by 50% light attribute attack.
Therefore, every time Assam strikes, it will cause two damage numbers.
That’s equivalent to nearly four thousand damages, which is enough to rival Sarah’s output!
Moreover, each of Assam's swords will add a negative status to the enemy, so the damage will become higher and higher.
After three or four strikes of the sword, these extremely powerful human-faced trees were killed on the spot.
[Your territory member: Asam killed the Ice Crystal Man-Faced Tree Guard lv27, a third-level elite creature, and gained experience points: 0]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 675]
[Your...]
…
Sarah next to her was even more terrifying.
She is already at the fourth level of leader.
It has an attack power of over 3700!
With the addition of [Blessing of Courage], the attack power officially exceeded 4600.
The silent blade in her hand left an afterimage and landed on these human-faced trees.
Horrifying injury figures emerged one after another.
【-4329】
【-6493! 】
【-8742! 】
The gift of liberation!
Critical hit rate of more than 40%, plus the skill [Blessing Release].
Therefore, Sarah's attacks can easily deal high amounts of damage.
It only takes two or three seconds to knock down a third-level human-faced tree.
This is the real meaning of chopping melons and vegetables.
In addition, the third-level leaders beside them, such as Hilda, Isabel, and Andrew, were all launching terrifying attacks.
System prompts keep appearing.
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed the Ice Crystal Man-faced Tree lv28, a third-level common creature, and gained experience points: 840]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 420]
[Your territory member: Isabel Gospel killed the Ice Crystal Man-faced Tree lv27, a third-level ordinary creature, and gained experience value: 0]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 405]
【your……】
…
It only takes less than a minute.
They killed this group of Ice Crystal Man-Faced Trees, which were at least level 25.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue sat on the back of the mammoth without even moving.
This is truly overwhelming combat power.
After a while, when they finished cleaning the battlefield, Cao Xing went straight down and picked up all the things on the ground.
[Obtain: Ice Crystal Human Face Tree Heart (Green) * 21]
[Obtained: Ice Crystal Human Face Tree Heart (Blue) *2]
[Obtained: Intermediate Power Heart*4]
[Obtain: Tree Sap (Green)*114]
[Obtained: Medium-quality tree sap (blue) *8]
[Obtain: Ancient Man-faced Tree Bark (Green) *16]
[Obtained: Human-faced tree bark (blue) *2]
[Obtained: Intermediate Element Crystals*15]
[Obtained: Intermediate attribute books (strength, agility, spirit, constitution) * 17 books]
…
A large pile of materials, including two blue-grade human-faced tree hearts.
Baymax and Volibear have already eaten this grade of Human-Faced Tree Heart three times, so it has no effect on them.
Only by finding the heart of a human-faced tree at the boss level or above can it continue to grow.
Then he picked up the vines on the ground.
Lead everyone to move forward.
This time, Cao Xing decided to go directly into the Witch Forest and deal with those high-level monsters.
See if you can get a few advanced hearts of power.
So he didn't stay in the outer area for long, but went deeper.
More than an hour later.
They have already penetrated nearly thirty kilometers into the [Witch Forest].
This has exceeded the depth of Cao Xing's last exploration.
During this period, they encountered several battles, but they were all easily resolved by Cao Xing's men.
As you go deeper, the levels of the monsters inside become higher and higher.
Cao Xing also discovered that the plants here were becoming increasingly vigorous.
Giant trees over 100 meters tall can be seen everywhere.
The dense branches and leaves almost blocked all the light above, and only some scattered light fell down.
Makes the whole forest look dark and cold...
If an ordinary person came in here, he would probably be scared to death!
But fortunately, they are all at the third level with very strong eyesight, so it doesn't have much impact.
Cao Xing raised his head, glanced at the top of his head, and then exclaimed: "Wow, I really don't know how these trees can grow so tall in such a harsh environment."
Andrew chuckled and said, "Nature is very magical, Lord."
“Some plants are naturally adapted to cold weather and can produce amazing fruits.”
"Besides, in this forest that has not been visited by anyone for many years, you might come across some magical plants."
Cao Xing was delighted and asked, "Oh? Is it a magical plant?"
Andrew nodded.
Hearing this, Cao Xing also became interested.
Before he could even open his mouth.
Renis suddenly said, "My Lord, there is something happening ahead!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately became alert and looked over.
They saw some strange plants appearing under several large trees in front of them.
It seemed to be a strange kind of flower, and these flowers were unusually tall.
Each tree is more than one meter tall.
Currently, they are all in a budding state and look like standing white vases.
Looking around, the whole area was filled with these flowers, at least forty or fifty of them.
Assam drew out his sword.
Andrew next to him also said: "There is an evil aura about these plants."
Hearing this, Cao Xing naturally realized that there was something wrong with these flowers.
So he said directly: "Rhaenys, Elisa, shoot an arrow and see."
After receiving Cao Xing's order, the two archers pulled the bowstrings at the same time.
Crunch! Crunch!
They pulled the bowstring into a full moon shape.
The next moment, a gust of wind arrow and an arrow filled with coldness shot out instantly.
“Swish! Swish!”
【-2147】
【-1772】
Elisa's damage was less than that of Renesus.
But this is normal.
This also shows that there is indeed something wrong with these flowers.
Following the two's attacking movements.
Everyone saw that the dozens of huge flowers in front of them all began to slowly rotate.
Like a whirlpool.
Their petals gradually unfold.
However, unlike the white petals.
When the petals were fully opened, everyone saw that the inner petals were black and purple!
It's covered with spikes and looks like a monster's teeth!
Not only that, in the center of the petals, there is a purple tentacle that dances in the air like a monster's tongue.
Just by looking at their appearance, you can tell that these flowers are not good people!
Cao Xing quickly looked over there.

【Talent ①: Root Absorption】
【Talent ②: Giant Plants】
…
Seeing the properties of these carnivorous plants, Cao Xing's eyes fixed and then he looked thoughtful.
"Another creature eroded by the aura of darkness?"
"The wild boar and the black snake turned violent because they were contaminated by the aura of darkness."
"So are these Piranha Plants."
"What exactly is the dark aura?"
While he was thinking about this, the Piranha Plant in front of him had already attacked everyone.
Their petals suddenly shrank.
The next moment, a spike as thick as a thumb shot out instantly!
“Swish! Swish!”
Hear the sound of breaking air.
Cao Xing decided to ignore all this and kill the enemy in front of him first.
So he gave the order directly: "Go, kill these carnivorous plants."
"Bron, block their attacks!"
After receiving Cao Xing's order.
Braum took the lead and rushed out with his shield raised.
In an instant, a dozen [Nightmare Stamens] shot towards Braum like tongues.
“Puff! Puff!”
The holy shield on his body was broken layer by layer.
The remaining attacks all fell on Braum's huge shield.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
【-874】
【-742】
【-971】
【-1024】
【-732】
A dozen injury figures appeared.
In one encounter, Braum's health was reduced by more than 10,000.
However, compared to his 40,000 health points, it is still in good health.
Braum laughed, "Haha, now it's my turn!"
Then, he suddenly jumped directly in front of the group of carnivorous plants.
The ice blood vessels are activated!
Frost Shield Erupts!
The source of polar ice erupts!
Triple cold weather erupted at the same time!
“Crack!”
Visible frost froze the surrounding air.
With Bron as the center, a cloud of white fog appeared in the area within a ten-meter radius.
Dozens of carnivorous plants were frozen in place on the spot!
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad. Combining different skills can produce even more powerful effects."
"These dozen or so Piranhas have all entered a deep freeze state for 5 seconds!"
You have to know that Braum is only a level three boss now, but he can control so many level four creatures at the same time for such a long time.
It can be said to be very powerful.
The next moment, more Piranhas attacked Braum.
However, at this time, Assam had already wielded the sword of justice and rushed forward!
“Swish! Swish, swish, swish!”
Four swords swept past.
A bunch of damage numbers appear.
Not only that, all the targets swept by Assam fell into various states such as reduced armor, reduced attack speed, and reduced attack power.
The threat has been greatly reduced!
At the same time, everyone else also launched various attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under the concentrated fire of Isabel and Sarah, one of the carnivorous plants died on the spot.
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed Nightmare Piranha lv34, a fourth-level common creature, and gained experience points: 1360]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 680]
…
At the same time.
Others also began to launch various powerful attacks, and the carnivorous plants died one after another.
Even though the levels of these carnivorous plants are higher than theirs, their numbers are also greater than Cao Xing's.
But Cao Xing quickly gained the upper hand.
At this moment, in the central area of this Piranha plant.
There is a giant carnivorous plant with broad petals, thick roots and a height of two meters!
It’s the leader of the carnivorous plant!
It seemed to sense the threat and its petals suddenly retracted.
A black gas gradually released from its body.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing realized that it might be using some trick.
So, Cao Xing immediately ordered: "Jonathan, use the Ice Dragon Spear to break it."
After receiving Cao Xing's order, Jonard grabbed the spear tightly in an instant!
A terrifying dragon power suddenly rose from him!
"drink!"
Jonathan shouted loudly and pointed his spear!
This moment.
A huge icicle nearly 4 meters thick and 65 meters long suddenly erupted!
"BOOM!"
【-5312】
【-5741】
【-5582】
【-5212】
…
In an instant, dozens of damage figures as high as five thousand appeared!
All the Piranha Plants along the way, including the boss Piranha Plant in the middle, were frozen into ice sculptures!
The opponent's attack was also directly interrupted.
"Yes, the skill of Dragon Blood Extraction greatly increases the lethality of the Dragon Blood Warrior!"
"I wonder how powerful the leader-level or even commander-level dragonblood warriors are!"
Cao Xing thought with full expectation, and even couldn't wait to win the reward of being number one on the list.
As the battle progressed, the number of Piranha Plants gradually decreased.
This group of Tier 4 Piranha Plants is enough to easily destroy a camp of hundreds of survivors.
However, it posed no threat to Cao Xing.
He didn't even use his full strength.
The strongest ones among them, Sarah, Isabel, Hilda and others, were still waiting by.
Cao Xing originally wanted to raise his staff to make another attack.
At this time, he saw Tong Chuchu beside him, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Then he said, "Chu Chu, summon the pursuit robot and the suicide robot to come out and take a look."
"And your Corona, call him out as well."
Tong Chuchu held the pistol tightly in her hand and nodded, "Okay...Okay."
"But big brother, summoning a self-destruct robot requires 20 irons, 5 coppers, and 1 primary element crystal...
"To chase the robot, you need 50 iron, 20 copper, and 3 primary element crystals..."
Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just use it."
After that, Cao Xing traded her 2,000 pieces of iron, 1,000 pieces of copper, and 200 primary element crystals.
Cao Xing has no shortage of these basic resources.
Tong Chuchu also happily took it.
Then, under Cao Xing's gaze.
Tong Chuchu consumed some of her mechanical strength and materials.
A robot about 1.5 meters tall and made entirely of iron sheets quickly took shape.
This robot's left hand is a clamp that can grab the enemy.
In the right hand is a chain saw, which can use the [Heat Cutting] skill.
Coupled with its blue pupils and its [thermal tracking] function, it is still quite versatile.
This is Mark Chaser.
Inherited 120% of Tong Chuchu's attributes, and can only last for five minutes.
Cao Xing waited for a moment, but did not hear any hint about [Eternal Power].
It seems that these robots cannot exist forever.
But when you think about it, it's normal.
After all, robots are also summoned creatures.
It's the same as [Summoning Horned Owl] and [Summoning Frost Spirit].
Then, Tong Chuchu summoned two improved self-destruct robots that were about 80 cm tall and shaped like iron boxes.
Following Tong Chuchu's instructions, the three robots and the Corona floating in the air rushed up together.
Corona is more like a floating iron ball.
Energy shells continuously spurt out from its round hole, causing energy damage to the carnivorous plants.
“Puff! Puff!”
【-1225】
【-1221】
【-1152】
The damage was not high, which was also related to the poor quality of Tong Chuchu's equipment.
However, the two suicide robots rushed into the group of carnivorous plants and exploded.
"BOOM!"
There was a loud explosion, and a terrifying heat wave instantly dissipated the surrounding cold!
At least a dozen casualties appeared.
【-2732】
【-2658】
【-2931】
【-2523】
…
Seeing the damage figures, Cao Xing showed admiration on his face.
"This damage is pretty good. When I change Chuchu's equipment, the damage will be even higher!"
Moreover, the cooldown time of the self-destruct robot is not long, and two can be summoned at a time.
It is one of the main output skills of the Mechanic, in addition to [Mark Chaser] and [Corona].
Of course, a lot of materials are consumed.
Two explosions destroyed 40 irons, 10 coppers, and 2 elemental crystals.
Ordinary survivors simply cannot bear this kind of consumption.
At the same time.
After being besieged by everyone, the number of the carnivorous plants became fewer and fewer.
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed Nightmare Piranha lv32, a fourth-level common creature: Experience value obtained: 1280]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 640]
[Your territory member: Isabelle Gospel killed Nightmare Piranha lv34, a fourth-level common creature: Experience value gained: 0]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 680]
…
In less than two minutes, only the last boss-level Piranha Plant was still putting up a stubborn resistance.
However, along with Blot, a [Black Smoke Shock] fell.
Bang!
【-3014】
The health of this boss-level Piranha Plant dropped to zero, and it fell down.
…
