As the battle ended, all the carnivorous plants on the field were like eggplants hit by frost, with their petals drooping to the ground.
And they have lost all breath of life.
Next, it is the stage of cleaning up the battlefield that Cao Xing is looking forward to!
He had already seen that some souls and hearts of power appeared in the places where the carnivorous plants died.
Just when Cao Xing couldn't wait to pick up the spoils on the ground.
A system prompt appears!
[The corpse of the nightmare Piranha plant was found. Is it decomposed? 】
"Eh? This thing can be decomposed?"
At this moment, joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Moreover, these Piranha Plants are all fourth-level creatures, and the materials on their bodies should be very precious!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing directly clicked on decomposition.
At the same time, the corpse of the carnivorous plant in front of him disappeared.
A large pile of materials appeared on the spot.
There are thorns all over the ground, a few petals, and the tentacle in the center of the Piranha Plant...
Cao Xing looked over and saw a system prompt.
[Nightmare Piranha Plant Spikes (Green) *62]
(The spikes contain poison and nightmare aura, causing 176 damage to the enemy hit, and adding a layer of nightmare poison effect, reducing its armor by 30 points and losing 154 health points per second, lasting for 30 seconds, and cannot be stacked.)
[Nightmare Piranha Petals (Green)*6]
(The petals contain toxins and are used to make certain hallucinogenic drugs or poisons)
[Nightmare Piranha Plant's Tentacle (Green)*1]
(The tentacles of the Piranha Plant have sharp barbs on them, which will inflict nightmare poison on enemies hit. The purpose is unknown.)
[Nightmare Man-eating Flower Nectar (Green)*5]
(Nectar that contains the breath of life. After consumption, it can restore 1000 health points. It is also the material for some medicines. Due to the erosion of the dark breath, it can no longer be used.)
…
When Cao Xing saw the system prompt, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, these Piranha Plants have a lot of good stuff!"
"Those spikes look like they can be made into arrows, which can greatly increase the lethality of these archers!"
"And those flower petals can be made into poison. I wonder if Sabina can use it."
"As for the tentacles of the Piranha Plant..."
Cao Xing thought for a moment.
Although the system says its function is unknown.
But Cao Xing thought of a different use.
That is, to make a whip...
Yes, the kind used to whip people.
There is also a [Mole Man Overseer Whip (Green)] in his backpack, which can increase movement speed by 10% and enhance pain.
The shape of this Piranha Plant's tentacles looks perfect for being made into whips.
Generally speaking, everything on the Nightmare Piranha Plant is a treasure.
And because of the erosion of the dark aura, the functionality of these materials has greatly increased.
The only regret is that the [Man-eating Plant Nectar] was corroded by the dark aura and is no longer edible.
He collected all the materials on the ground.
Then he looked at Liu Muxue and said, "Muxue, help me break it down."
"OK."
After that, the two began to act separately.
After a short while, the corpses of the ordinary and elite Piranha Plants were completely decomposed.
On the field, there was only the last two-meter-tall corpse of a boss-level Piranha plant left.
After getting closer, Cao Xing directly clicked on decompose.
A system prompt appears.
【Decomposition successful】
[Obtained: Nightmare Piranha Boss Spike (Purple) *137]
(The spikes contain toxins and nightmare aura, which seem to be made into arrows, causing high-level nightmare poison effects on enemies, reducing armor by 80 points and losing 288 health points per second for 30 seconds.)
[Obtained: Nightmare Piranha Boss Petals (Purple)*6]
(The petals contain a deadly poison and nightmare aura, and are used to make magic potions and certain poisons.)
[Obtained: Nightmare Piranha Plant Whiskers (Purple) *1]
(The tentacles of the Piranha Plant boss have sharp barbs on them. When they hit a target, it will enter a state of advanced nightmare poison.)
[Obtain: Nightmare Man-eating Flower Nectar (Purple) *3]
(Nectar that contains the breath of life. After consumption, it can restore 4000 health points. It can also be used to make certain potions. Due to the erosion of the dark breath, it can no longer be used.)
…
"Not bad, the purple spikes can actually reduce the enemy's armor by 80 points, and also cause bleeding for 30 seconds."
"If you calculate it this way, if the opponent doesn't have a skill like Purification, the bleeding alone would cause over 8,000 damage."
But Cao Xing suddenly had a different idea.
"For the current survivors, a spike like this is a divine weapon."
"And most importantly, this thing has no usage levels."
"Can I make a batch of arrows and then sell them on the trading channel?"
This idea should be feasible!
After all, the bleeding damage from a single arrow can kill a level 2 boss monster in 30 seconds.
There must be many survivors willing to pay a high price for it.
After Cao Xing's promotion, its value will even exceed that of silver salmon meat.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing's eyes showed excitement, "Okay, okay!"
"The corpses of these carnivorous plants have provided me with thousands of spikes, which can be made into thousands of nightmare arrows!"
"Even the green and blue quality spikes do quite a bit of damage!"
"This is an astonishing fortune!"
Plus, those petals and tentacles can be made into props.
It can be said that as long as you use your imagination, this Piranha Plant is also full of treasures!
Cao Xing sighed, "What a pity, the nectar of this boss-level man-eating plant cannot be eaten anymore."
"Otherwise, it will directly restore 4,000 health points, which is a very powerful effect."
However, he had gained enough.
Not only that, except for the materials on these corpses.
There are also some items on the ground that were dropped by the carnivorous plants after they died.
These are also a huge harvest.
Cao Xing collected them all.
[Obtain: Advanced Power Heart*1]
[Obtained: Intermediate Power Heart*5]
[Obtained: Soul of the Piranha Plant leader eroded by the aura of darkness*1]
[Obtained: 2 souls of the Piranha Elite that were corroded by the aura of darkness]
[Obtain: Level 3 Nightmare Court Archer Recruitment Scroll *3]
[Obtain: Tier 3 Elite Nightmare Court Archer Recruitment Scroll *1]
[Obtained: Large attribute book *7]
…
"Oh? Another recruitment scroll? And this time it's a new type of soldier!"
"What are Nightmare Court Archers?"
It seemed that I heard the keyword "Nightmare Garden" that Cao Xing said.
Isabel walked over and asked, "My Lord, I heard you talk about the Nightmare Court?"
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, you know?"
Isabel nodded her head and said.
"Well, ten thousand years ago, the Nightmare Court was also a huge organization, even comparable in size to the Dark Church."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was suddenly shocked.
"You mean, this is also a cult?"
Isabel thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Strictly speaking, they are not a cult."
"The teachings they spread are dreams, and they believe that the real world is beyond dreams."
"They worship Dhuum, the god of nightmares."
"At its peak, the number of church members and strong men even surpassed that of the Dark Church."
Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded secretly.
He had heard Isabel mention the organization [Dark Church].
That is a cult that can rival an ancient entity like the Holy See.
And Cao Xing was indeed surprised that the [Nightmare Courtyard] was of such a scale.
"What happened next? Does the Nightmare Garden still exist?"
Cao Xing couldn't help but ask.
Isabel shook her head. "It no longer exists?"
"The Nightmare Garden was indeed very powerful at its peak."
"But one day, the Six True Gods suddenly revealed that the Nightmare God Deum had committed an unjust act and was stripped of his godhood, losing his identity as the Nightmare God."
"And the Nightmare Court lost their faith that day, and never recovered."
"Afterwards, this organization was purged by the Dark Church, and countless followers of the Nightmare Court were sacrificed, and then disappeared from the world."
After listening to Isabel's story, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
In this way, the composition of members of Nightmare Court is quite complex.
They are neither good nor bad, just chaotic neutral.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to summon these archers to give it a try first.
[Do you want to use the recruitment scroll? ]
"yes."
At the moment Cao Xing clicked to confirm.
Four balls of black and purple smoke appeared out of thin air on the land in front of him.
In the smoke, Cao Xing saw rapidly growing vines and blurry scenes.
It seems like a real dream.
When the smoke disappears.
Four female archers with light pink skin, entangled in vines, and holding a vine bow on their backs appeared.
Those black and purple vines seemed like their clothes, covering the key parts of their bodies.
They raised their heads, their messy pink-purple hair falling over their shoulders.
The facial features are quite alien.
It is obvious that these archers are not human.
At this moment, the four archers stared at Cao Xing with their ink-black pupils, without saying a word, and seemed very silent.
Cao Xing walked up to them and said, "Hello everyone, I am Lord Cao Xing."
They still said nothing.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Even Cao Xing was standing there awkwardly.
At this time, Elisa jumped out and said, "Hey, hey! What are you doing?"
"Can't you hear the Lord speaking to you? You have no manners at all!"
The little girl put her hands on her hips and looked very angry!
Including Renis, she stared at the four people with unfriendly eyes.
However, the four archers remained silent.
Cao Xing also laughed when he saw this.
Oh!
What do these newcomers mean? Do they not want to pledge allegiance to me?
Cao Xing was not used to them and spoke directly.
"If you do not wish to pledge your allegiance to me, I give you a choice."
"Provide me a piece of valuable information, which is equivalent to the conditions for redemption, and then I will let you go."
There is no way. After using the recruitment scroll, there is no option to return.
Otherwise, Cao Xing also wanted to seal them into the scroll, and selling them to other survivors would also be a good profit.
But it is impossible to ask Cao Xing to let these archers go directly.
After all, he is not a good man.
That's why he made the following request.
The expressions of the four Nightmare Garden archers changed slightly and they looked at each other.
One of them looked at Isabel and Hilda.
After a moment, an archer about 1.6 meters tall and barefoot slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, it's not that we are unwilling to serve you."
"It is only because our faith has betrayed us and even cost us our lives."
"This makes it difficult for us to be loyal to other beings anymore..."
Hearing this, a strange look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
Through Isabel's narration, he knew what these members of the Nightmare Court had experienced.
It's really a bit pitiful.
But it sounds like they have been hurt by bad men and now they don't believe other men anymore...
Cao Xing was too lazy to say anything more to them.
He said directly: "I will not interfere with your beliefs. I only ask you, are you willing to pledge allegiance to me?"
Hear this question.
The four archers looked at each other, with a look of struggle in their eyes.
After a moment, they knelt on one knee at the same time and said respectfully: "This respected lord, we are willing to serve you..."
"I hope you can treat us well..."
Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded slightly.
"Very good, from now on you just have to obey my orders and I won't let you go and die, understand?"
"Understood, Lord..."
The four archers replied again.
It can be seen that they are not so resistant to pledging allegiance to Cao Xing.
It's just because of my personality that I don't like to talk much.
"Now tell me your names."
After hearing Cao Xing's order.
They spoke slowly.
"Mengma, Menglita, Mengluos, Mona..."
They were still very frugal with words and didn't say anything more after introducing their names.
Cao Xing did not ask any more questions, but checked their attributes.

…
Take a look at the attributes of these four Nightmare Court Archers.
Cao Xing nodded secretly.
It looks pretty good. It not only deals damage but also has control effect.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said directly: "Well, Mengma, Mengna... welcome to join us."
"According to the custom of our territory, we will bless newcomers and grant you great power."
However, the loyalty of these Nightmare Court Archers is not high.
According to Cao Xing's habit, he would not impose various statuses on creatures with such low loyalty.
But now we are in the advanced map of [Witch Forest].
These archers don't have much health.
Otherwise, when you go deep into the jungle and face those powerful monsters, you might be killed instantly.
Under the puzzled gazes of these archers,
Cao Xing directly called Liu Muxue, Tong Chuchu, Blot and Hilda and added status to them.
As one powerful state after another fell into the bodies of these archers.
Their eyes, which had always been in a sleepy state, slowly opened!
At the same time, it contains a strong surprise!
"This is... this is such a magical power..."
"Gods be to you! How on earth did they do this?"
The archer named Mengma was surprised.
Elisa stood up and said with a smug look on her face, "Hehe! You know how amazing I am, right?"
"This is the power of our Lord!"
"Before, only those who made contributions to our territory could enjoy this blessing."
"You should just thank the Lord for his mercy!"
Hearing this, the four Nightmare Court archers looked at each other and knew that what Elisa said was true.
Under normal circumstances, how can such a blessing that surpasses that of the gods be bestowed upon others at will?
At this moment, they all knelt on one knee.
"Thank you, my gracious Lord, your power is so great and vast..."
[Because you helped improve its strength, the loyalty of territory member: Mengma has been increased. Current loyalty: 62]
[Because you helped improve her strength, the loyalty of Territory Member: Monlita has been increased. Current loyalty: 64]
[Because of you...]
Four system prompts appear.
Cao Xing's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly delighted in his heart.
"As expected, the power of eternity is above everything else. No matter what kind of gods one believes in, they will be dispersed by the power of eternity."
"Even people as difficult as Hilda and Isabelle can be raised to eighty or ninety loyalty by me, but I can't deal with these Nightmare Elves?"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing said casually: "Okay, let's go to the team now, and you will follow Renis and Elisa later."
The four archers simultaneously looked at the two women carrying bows and arrows in Cao Xing's team.
Elisa, who was standing by, heard this and said, "Hehe! From now on, you have to follow my lead. I will teach you some etiquette of the territory!"
"Then let's start with the address."
"From now on, you will call Sister Renis the captain, and you will call me Captain Elisa. Do you understand?"
The four archers looked at each other and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, Captain... Captain..."
Hearing their calls, Elisa smiled proudly.
A smile also appeared on Cao Xing's lips.
It is a good thing to have Elisa, a lively girl, to train these four taciturn archers.
At this time, Cao Xing took out a bright red crystal from his backpack.
It was the [Heart of Advanced Power] that exploded after killing the leader of the Piranha Plant.
He continued to hand it over to Andrew.
Andrew didn't say much, but he secretly decided in his heart that he must succeed this time.
He directly crushed the power crystal, and the pure red power flowed into his body.
Everyone waited in silence.
Three minutes later.
An ancient and powerful aura rose from Andrew.
Everyone looked over and looked at him expectantly.
The next moment, a system prompt appeared...
