A system prompt appears.
[Your territory member: Andrew has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-level leader-level creature. His basic attributes have increased by 100%]
…
now.
Everyone had a gentle smile on their face.
They congratulated him one after another.
Asam said sincerely: "Congratulations, Mr. Andrew."
As Cao Xing's earliest two generals, they had a good relationship in private.
Andrew said with a pious smile on his face: "Assam Knight, with the Lord here, you will soon be able to break through to the fourth level."
However, Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Assam will have to wait a while."
"He has a Knight's Five Virtues Trial, which requires him to challenge a boss monster of a higher level."
"That's great. Let's see if we can find a suitable target in this forest for Asam to complete this trial."
"Then let him break through to the fourth level."
Hearing this, Asam said with a firm look in his eyes: "I will do my best to complete the challenge, Lord!"
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
At the same time, Cao Xing took a look at Andrew's attributes after the breakthrough.
【Iceborne Druid: Andru】
[Race: Druid]
[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level 3 Boss-level creature)]
【Detailed properties: click to view】
…
When Cao Xing saw Andrew's attributes, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes!
With 90,000 health points, it has completely surpassed Sarah!
The attack power also directly reached three thousand three.
This doesn't even count as the [Courage Blessing] state!
Now, a single Starfire spell from Andrew could cause at least six thousand damages!
Moonfire also has nearly 5,000 group attack damage, it is terrifyingly powerful!
Except for Sarah, no one on the field could inflict as much damage as him.
Cao Xing exclaimed, "After the transformation, Andrew is so strong!"
"And this Witch Forest is really a good place. It gave me a high-level Heart of Power right from the start."
"It looks like it won't be long before all of us can reach the fourth level."
Cao Xing thought happily.
Then he led his men forward.
As he walked, Cao Xing saw some familiar plants appearing under one of the big trees.
Several flowers, about thirty centimeters tall, with green petals, are growing quietly.
When I went forward to take a look, it was indeed the [Ice Phoenix Flower].
Then, Cao Xing carefully picked them all.
[Obtain: Ice Phoenix Flower (Blue) * 17]
…
"Not bad, I made some money again."
Cao Xing thought happily.
To him, these magical plants are resources and money.
The more the better.
"We keep moving forward."
Under Cao Xing's command, everyone began to explore the forest.
A few minutes later.
Cao Xing came to a dense forest again.
This is an area they have not explored before.
The surroundings were also pale, including the branches and leaves of the big trees, all of which were pale.
However, in this vast expanse of whiteness, some strange plants also grew.
For example, there are some black fruits as big as fists hanging on the branches.
There are also some weeds and mosses of various shapes growing on the ground.
Cao Xing took a quick look and found that they were just some ordinary plants, so he didn't pay any attention to them.
As mentioned before, The Witchwood is too big.
Even though this is a doomsday world shrouded in extreme cold, the variety of plants in it is still beyond imagination.
Not long after they walked, they suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
The aroma is extremely tempting.
Just one sniff will make your mind clear.
Everyone couldn't help but twitch their noses.
Elisa's eyes sparkled as she said, "What a nice smell! It smells like milk!"
And the boar warrior Lab said, "Oh! Why do I smell beast meat?"
Cao Xing was also a little surprised, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?"
Everyone was confused, as if they had no idea how such a fragrance could suddenly appear in this cold forest.
Andrew next to him sniffed the air a few times and said, "My Lord, this smells like the smell of shiitake mushrooms."
"Yoshiitake mushroom?"
Andrew nodded. "Yes, this is a magical mushroom, and it's also a relatively rare ingredient."
"It is said that after drying it, it is even more delicious when used to make soup."
"No matter how bad the dish is, as long as you add some shiitake mushrooms, it will become a rare delicacy."
"The most important thing is that this ingredient will not ruin the taste of other foods."
"It is an ingredient that the royal chefs are searching for."
Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.
Then he asked, "Is this thing worth the money?"
Andrew was stunned for a moment, and seemed confused by Cao Xing's question.
Then, he slowly replied: "It should be... quite worthwhile..."
"After all, those royal chefs and top chefs often spend a lot of money to hire powerful hunters to go deep into the mountains to look for this kind of food."
"If it were available, they would certainly be happy to buy it."
Joy instantly appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
To him, the taste of the shiitake mushrooms is secondary.
The main thing is what is its value?
"Andrew, if there is this kind of fragrance here, does it mean that there are shiitake mushrooms nearby?"
"Yes."
After getting Andrew's confirmation, Cao Xing immediately gave the order.
"Look for them all."
After hearing this, everyone started to take action.
Elisa, with her nose twitching, quickly walked to the back of one of the big trees.
Then, she exclaimed, "My Lord, here it is!"
Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned, "Good man, she found it so quickly?"
"Are you a dog nose?"
He also quickly rushed to Elisa's side.
Sure enough, I saw several tender white mushrooms growing next to the roots of this big tree.
The height is almost half a meter, the stem is almost as thick as a thigh, and the umbrella cover on the top is about thirty to forty centimeters wide.
Looks very plump.
There were bursts of strange aromas coming from above.
For some reason, there aren't many beasts in the Witchwood.
Cao Xing speculated that it was probably because of the [Dark Breath].
Otherwise, the smell alone would attract a large number of wild animals.
"Wow, a mushroom this big?" Cao Xing said in surprise.
Andrew was also stunned for a moment, then said, "Generally, the size of a Jixiang mushroom is only about the size of a fist."
"This is the first time I've seen one this big."
"Its value is probably much higher than some common shiitake mushrooms."
Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed anticipation.
He walked straight forward and the properties of these mushrooms appeared in front of him.
[Giant Jixiang Mushroom: Magic Plant (Purple)]
[The fragrant shiitake mushroom is a relatively rare ingredient]
【Effect ①: After drying, grind it into powder and make it into Jixiang seasoning, or mix it with other ingredients to make high-quality pet food.】
[Effect ②: When consumed for the first time, it can increase your physical fitness by 15 points]
…
"An ingredient that can be made into a seasoning?"
"Not only that, it can also be made into high-quality pet food, and it also has the effect of increasing physical fitness. It's really good!"
Cao Xing said happily: "I've received it!"
So he simply picked up all the mushrooms on the ground.
[Obtained: Giant Shiitake Mushroom (Purple) *4]
4 shiitake mushrooms, which together weigh almost ten kilograms.
"Haha, it feels really good to pick up money on the ground."
Obviously, shiitake mushrooms are a precious ingredient.
The few functions mentioned above in the prop introduction alone show the value of Jixiang Mushroom.
Moreover, he had a giant Jixiang mushroom in his hand.
This can be seen from the fact that top chefs have issued commissions and hired powerful hunters to help find [Ji Xiang Mushroom].
It will definitely sell for a high price!
However, the Witch Forest is very dangerous.
Those hunters simply don't dare to come to such a place to collect resources.
So no one has set foot in this forest for about one or two hundred years.
If it were some ordinary forests, the rare fruits and even the magical plants inside would have been picked up by them long ago.
It is impossible for it to be Cao Xing's turn.
And now, because of Cao Xing's powerful strength, he has penetrated into such a far area of the Witch Forest.
And he was searching inside recklessly.
For Cao Xing, this is equivalent to a huge treasure trove.
As long as you look for it patiently, you will always find some unexpected surprises!
"Let's go on."
Following Cao Xing's order, they changed direction and started searching.
Three minutes later.
They encountered another wave of nightmare carnivorous plants.
Cao Xing took a quick look and found that there were about thirty or so carnivorous plants.
Although the levels are all above level 30, there are no boss-level Piranha Plants.
"However, although there is no boss-level Piranha Plant, the two elite Piranha Plants are also good."
"The poisonous stingers on their bodies can be used to make a lot of arrows."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing continued to give orders: "Fight as you wish, and make a quick decision."
After hearing Cao Xing's order.
Braum, Assam, two Dragonblood Warriors, Boar Warrior and other melee fighters swarmed over.
“Puff! Puff!”
Jonathan and Jonathan's spears kept firing, piercing holes in the petals of the carnivorous plants.
At the same time, serious injuries occurred one after another.
【-2573】
【-2471】
【-2631】
…
Lab next to him relied on his 30% blood-sucking ability and strong recovery ability to jump directly into the group of Piranha Plants.
"Master Beast God, give me strength!"
"Double-blade Rondo!"
Lab held the two knives and began to spin at high speed among the group of Piranha Plants!
【-2471】
+741
【-2532】
+760
【-2651】
+795
The damage numbers appeared one after another.
There are also some blood-sucking numbers among them.
At this moment, Lab was fighting seven or eight level four carnivorous plants alone. Even though his three layers of holy shields had been completely broken, his health did not decrease.
Every time the Piranha Plant focused its fire on me and reduced my health, Lab would absorb most of it back with a few hits.
Then [Ice Therapy] and [Life Blossom] started to restore his health at the same time, immediately restoring his health to full!
Lab said excitedly: "Haha, Lab is the immortal wild boar warrior!"
However, he didn't have long to be happy.
One of the elite carnivorous plants stretched out a long tentacle and directly wrapped around Lab's arm.
At this moment, he felt a huge force coming.
Under his horrified gaze, Lab was dragged over.
Then, the petals suddenly closed.
Seeing this, Braum slapped his head in surprise and said, "Oh no! The Boar Warrior was swallowed!"
Lab was careless and forgot that the Piranha Plant also has a skill called [Nightmare Attack].
At this moment, Isabel and a nightmare archer suddenly felt a huge force coming from their waists.
The two of them flew straight forward!
Then, this Holy Light Priest was also swallowed by the Piranha Plant on the spot.
Everyone on the field had intense surprise in their eyes!
However, Cao Xing's expression did not change.
Because of their strong recovery ability, even if they are swallowed by the Piranha Plant, they will not be in any danger in the short term.
Everyone also heard the cry for help coming from inside the petals.
"Spirit...Spirit Lord Daren, save me..."
This is the sound of Raab.
Isabel also said in a trembling voice: "Ugh! What is this mucus... so disgusting..."
Cao Xing couldn't help laughing.
"Go get them out."
After receiving Cao Xing's order, Assam and two dragon spear warriors rushed directly forward.
“Swish!”
After a few blows, the petals of the three carnivorous plants suffered multiple attacks.
Then they vomited out Lab and Isabel, as well as the archer.
The three of them sat on the ground, looking terrified.
Their bodies were still covered in a sticky purple liquid...
Especially Isabelle, she was originally wearing a plain white wizard robe.
Now, because her robe was soaked, her graceful figure was highlighted.
Delicate skin, snow-white features, and a slender waist that can be held in one hand.
In addition, her slime-covered appearance formed a strong contrast with the sacred Holy Light Priest.
Cao Xing looked at her and found that this woman had a very thin waist.
Can such a thin waist support such a large upper body?
Isabel also noticed Cao Xing's gaze and her wet clothes.
This usually serious Holy Light priest suddenly showed a trace of shame on his face.
Hilda beside him did not forget to taunt: "That woman from the Church, put on your clothes properly and stop seducing the Lord here!"
The fighters were concentrating on fighting, and did not dare to look back when they heard this, pretending not to hear it.
After all, this is a fight between two powerful women, and no one dares to interfere!
Isabelle bit her lower lip lightly, looked at Hilda hatefully, and then stood up from the ground.
At this moment, she raised her staff and a strong holy light gushed out like a stream of water, washing away the mucus on her body.
Isabel bathed in holy light.
After a moment, her beautiful face became pure again.
He recovered and became the pure and holy priest of Holy Light.
Lab and the archer next to him also cleaned themselves up.
Lab exclaimed, "God of Beasts, I was almost eaten by these Piranha Plants!"
Cao Xing then reminded them, "Be careful, don't let the tentacles of the Piranha Plant wrap your body around you."
"If you don't want to be covered in saliva..."
Lab recovered and rushed forward again with his weapon raised.
Isabel next to him seemed a little angry.
He raised the staff, and terrifying rays of holy light gushed out.
The petals of the carnivorous plants were blown away and kept shrinking and gathering.
In no time, everyone dealt with this wave of carnivorous plants.
Bang!
A huge ball of holy light fell down.
【-4127】
[Your territory member: Isabelle Gospel killed Nightmare Piranha lv35, a fourth-level elite creature, and gained experience points: 0]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 1400]
…
When the last Piranha Plant was killed, a pile of materials and the huge corpses of those Piranha Plants appeared on the ground.
As usual, Cao Xing walked over, disassembled it all, and then collected everything together.
[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha Plant's Poisonous Thorn (Green) * 2794]
[Obtained: Nightmare Piranha Plant's Poisonous Thorn (Blue) *372]
[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha Plant Petals (Green)]
[Obtained: Intermediate Power Heart*4]
[Obtain: Tier 3 Elite Nightmare Court Archer Scroll *1]
[Obtained: Level 3 Nightmare Court Archer Scroll *5]
【Obtained...】
…
Another wave of harvest.
There are also four intermediate power hearts, several recruitment scrolls, two polluted elite souls, and more than three thousand poisonous stingers.
"Not bad, not bad. Four intermediate power hearts saved me 40,000 ice dragon marks."
"Since entering the Witch Forest, 13 intermediate Power Hearts have already been released to me."
"According to the price at the Dragon Shop, it would be 130,000 Ice Dragon Marks."
Cao Xing exclaimed: "Sure enough, the high-end area is great!"
"If I can kill all the monsters in this forest, I might be able to kill all the hearts of power of my two hundred warriors at once."
Cao Xing thought happily.
Of course, to kill all the monsters in the forest, you need extremely strong strength and a lot of exploration time.
It basically cannot be completed in one or two days.
As for those recruitment scrolls, Cao Xing did not summon them.
They have enough people now.
There are too many people, and it is difficult to command them in this jungle terrain.
So Cao Xing put all these things into his backpack.
Then he led everyone to go deeper.
…
Five minutes later.
This time, they stopped beside a giant tree that was over 200 meters tall.
What attracted Cao Xing's attention were the red fruits at the top of the tree crown.
Obviously, these red fruits are so eye-catching in this forest with an overall pale tone.
Cao Xing turned around and asked, "Does anyone know what these fruits are?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Even Andrew, who knows more about plants, is not quite sure.
"My Lord, this may be a unique tree in the Witchwood."
"But for it to be this tall, it must be quite old."
Cao Xing nodded, then sighed, "If only my botanical encyclopedia, Juliette, was here with me at this time, she would definitely know the names of these fruits."
However, no one knows the names of these fruits.
But he is a survivor and has the system's built-in panel function.
As long as he gets closer, Cao Xing will be able to see their properties.
Thinking of this, he said directly: "Dabai, take me to the big tree."
…
