Cao Xing began to give orders for responding to the Ice Dragon Horn challenge in the evening.

Ilena quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go inform the people right away."

She took Cao Xing's instructions to heart, then hung up the phone and began to give instructions.

I have almost finished explaining the affairs in the territory.

As night fell, the sky quickly darkened.

The entire Witch Forest was shrouded in complete darkness.

In such a dark environment, there was a group of people holding blue torches, walking through the forest.

It was Cao Xing and the others.

The Witch Forest at night is very depressing, or rather, terribly depressing!

Apart from the occasional bird calls, not even the slightest sound of wild animals could be heard.

At this moment, Isabel in the team whispered, "My Lord, let me light the way forward for you all, okay?"

Cao Xing was stunned, he also remembered.

Isabel's advanced holy light control can release strong holy light to serve as a lighting effect.

"Okay, go ahead, Isabel."

After getting permission, the holy woman in front of her slowly raised her staff.

"The Holy Light...will guide us forward..."

The next moment, a strong light rose from her staff.

The area within a few dozen meters was illuminated extremely brightly.

Seeing this scene, everyone showed admiration in their eyes.

Tong Chuchu said softly: "Wow... Sister Isabel is so amazing and so beautiful..."

However, Hilda, who was following behind the team, looked at her with disdain.

"Tsk! What a show-off woman!"

Under Isabel's guidance, everyone soon arrived at an area filled with a large number of vines.

Behind these vines is the ancient wild boar tribe.

Following the gap that the black snake had entered earlier, they quickly entered the interior.

All of a sudden, waves of warm air came.

Cao Xing looked at the temperature above his head.

【Current temperature: 13℃】

…

Everyone knows that the reason why the environment of the Wild Boar Tribe is so comfortable is because of a magical [Giant Vine].

Cao Xing sighed, "What a pity that we can't get such a magical vine."

The places they had fought before were still preserved, and no other creatures had entered.

Everyone came to the square in the center of the Wild Boar Tribe.

Cao Xing looked at the statue in the square and asked, "Lab, can the beast statue still be used?"

In his backpack, there was some nectar from the Piranha Plant, a boss-level soul, and several elite souls that needed to be purified.

Rab went over to take a look and said, "My Lord, the power of the statue has been exhausted. Without the boar warriors praying and contributing their faith every day, it may take a long time to recover."

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded.

Although it is a bit regrettable, it doesn't have much impact.

So, he said directly: "Okay, let's all go in and rest."

"Keep your energy up tonight, we'll have a lot of fighting tomorrow during the day."

"We may have to go into the witch's castle at night, so please hold on."

Hearing this, everyone on the field had smiles on their faces.

Braum patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Lord. Braum is in good health."

Jonathan and Johansson also replied: "During the Dragon War, the longest time we Norns experienced continuous fighting was two months. This is nothing to us."

Cao Xing smiled.

Then, he took them to the stone gate of the Wild Boar Tribe's lounge.

Since they knew the spell of the lounge, they quickly opened the stone door.

The crowd rushed in.

There are many stone chambers inside, as well as ready-made stone beds, stone tables, and so on.

Rab said excitedly: "Oh! It's been so many years since I lived in a tribal house!"

"This feeling is so familiar yet so strange!"

"Everyone, just treat this place as your own home and live wherever you like, haha!"

Everyone looked at the Boar Warrior Lab in silence.

He is not from this tribe, but he acts like the chief of the tribe.

However, everyone still observed and found a room to enter.

The two little girls, Elisa and Tong Chuchu, followed Volibear, as well as Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.

Four people and a bear slept in one room.

However, they did not sleep on the stone beds, but rested against the wall.

Volibear lay in the corner.

Elisa and Xiao Chuchu were resting by hugging Wally's thick hairy legs.

Time passes slowly...

At half past six in the evening.

Cao Xing dialed the communication device on his ear and said, "Ilena, get ready. I'm going to use the Ice Dragon Horn."

“Sizzle…sizzle…”

"Got it, Lord. We are ready for battle."

Hearing this, Cao Xing also felt relieved.

Then, he went straight to the horn.

This thing can only be used by the lord.

And no matter where you use it, the summoned Icebrood will land near the territory.

At the same time.

The familiar server announcement sounded in the chat channel of Zone 17.

Server announcement: "Survivors please note, the survivor lord: Cao Xing has used the Ice Dragon Horn (Small)..."

…

At this moment, the lively chat channel suddenly paused, and then there was a burst of exclamations.

Chen Ze: "Oh my god! Boss Cao Xing used a horn again. Isn't it said that every time there is a horn challenge, many people will die?"

Yin Linru: "Yes, since yesterday, although those legion leaders have withstood the impact of the ice nest, they have suffered heavy losses. Today, no legion has used the Ice Dragon Horn."

Gu Shijie: "Haha, didn't the people in Wangjiang Pavilion say that although Master Cao Xing withstood the challenge of the medium-level Ice Dragon Horn, he was devastated due to the heavy losses? It seems that he is still strong!"

Deng Zhong: "Indeed, he is worthy of being called Cao Xing. After tonight's challenge, his points will soar again. I guess no one can catch up with him..."

At this time, Jiang Qingyun, who was being mocked by everyone, and the heads of the major military corps in District 17 were all looking at the chat channel in shock.

It seems that no one understands why Cao Xing can use the Ice Dragon Horn continuously.

You know, no matter how strong a territory is, it is impossible not to suffer casualties when facing the attack of so many Ice Nest monsters.

Did no one die in his territory in yesterday's battle? Or was it just a few?

…

Cao Xing did not read the discussions on the chat channel, nor did he know what those army commanders were speculating about him.

Instead, he maintained communication and listened to Ilena reporting on the battle situation.

Just as expected.

One hundred Ascalon warriors, more than a hundred wild boar warriors, and powerful beings such as Ilena and Alice are enough to easily deal with the small Ice Dragon Horn challenge.

Kill information kept refreshing the screen.

Until 0:00 in the morning.

The battle is almost over.

Then they began to destroy the ice nests.

Cao Xing's points once again saw rapid growth.

【1137 points】

【1194 points】

【1235 points】

In the end, Cao Xing's score was fixed at 1312 points.

I took a look at the current points ranking list.

【17th District Points Ranking】

[First place: Cao Xing 1312 points]

[Second place: Jiang Qingyun 438 points]

【Fourth place: Wuxinghu 285 points】

【Third place: Chen Feng 273 points】

…

Obviously, he still took the first place with an overwhelming advantage, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger.

In the chat channel, the people from Wangjiang Pavilion have completely stopped talking.

Jiang Qingyun still sat in the lord's cabin with a sullen face, not saying a word.

…

…

As for Cao Xing, after the battle, he learned from Ilena's report that he had obtained more than 40,000 Ice Dragon Marks and 20,000 Glacier Fragments.

Cao Xing said happily: "Not bad, let's see if we can collect some Ice Dragon Marks when we get back, and exchange them for a Haoyue Treasure Chest!"

"Of course, you can also exchange a few of those high-level blueprints and leader-level dragonblood warriors to see for yourself!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Then, he rested peacefully.

…

The next day...

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue woke up together.

A system prompt appears.

【Attention all survivors, attention all survivors! 】

[You have passed the ninth day of the official period, and a snowstorm is coming! ]

[Weather forecast: There will be a cold wave passing through today, with the lowest temperature reaching -68℃. The blizzard will officially arrive at 20:12 tonight!

In blizzard weather, the lowest temperature will reach -79℃. Blizzards will trigger various geological disasters, such as landslides, snowstorms, etc. All survivors, please be prepared...】

…

Seeing this series of system prompts, Cao Xing's face showed surprise.

Almost twenty days after entering this world, the first snowstorm finally arrived.

Although I had expected it, I still felt a little nervous when it was really approaching.

After all, in this world, blizzards are an extremely severe challenge for everyone.

The seriousness of the matter can be seen from the long list of prompts in the system!

As expected, the world channel has become a mess.

Christopher: "Oh my God! A few days ago, a moderate snowstorm almost submerged my territory. How terrible will this blizzard be?"

Nie Yihe: "Oh no! My territory is on the mountain, next to a cliff. If this blizzard comes, I will definitely be in trouble. No, I have to run away!"

Kenjiro Hori: "Yoshi! Fortunately, I gave up my territory and hid in a cave. I also stored a lot of food and coal in it, and I can play with those female mole people every day, hahahaha!"

Han Youzhen: "Handsome Oppas in the chat channel, is there anyone who can take me and my sister in? Our territory level is too low and we definitely can't withstand the blizzard..."

Zhou Min: "I am looking for a homeless little brother. Those who are over 180cm tall and have six-pack abs will be given priority. My territory's bonfire has been upgraded to level 8, and I have several second-level soldiers, which are enough to ensure your safety."

Yan Lisheng: "Brothers, don't go, you'll get beaten up..."

…

At this moment, in the wild boar tribe.

Liu Muxue snuggled in Cao Xing's arms and said with a worried look on her face, "Ah Xing, there will be a snowstorm tomorrow."

"Should we go back and make some preparations?"

Her worries were not unfounded. After all, blizzards were one of the worst weather conditions in the world and could cause serious consequences.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "We have to go back. Otherwise, if a snowstorm comes, we might not be able to go out for a few days."

"However, the snowstorm will not officially arrive until the evening, so we can continue exploring the forest during the day."

"It's a good opportunity to bring back some more resources."

Liu Muxue also nodded slightly.

However, according to Cao Xing's plan, he was preparing to enter the [Witch Castle] tonight.

But as mentioned before, the weather in this world is changeable and everything is uncertain.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

As for the mission of the old witch, Cao Xing was not in a hurry.

Anyway, there is no completion time marked on the task.

So he pressed the [small communication device] on his ear and made a general announcement.

"Okay, everyone, get up."

After hearing Cao Xing's order.

A dozen people came out in a crowd.

Elisa said sleepily, "Hmm... Is it dawn so soon?"

Tong Chuchu beside her had an excited smile on her face, "Sister Elisa, you slept so well last night!"

Last night, they fell asleep on Volibear's lap.

Wally's thick fur provided them with warmth, allowing them to sleep well.

This makes others envious.

Lab said excitedly: "My Lord, are we going to start the battle?"

"Labu had a good sleep in the tribe and now he feels like he has endless energy!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It's time to fight, but there's a slight change in the plan."

"There will be a snowstorm tonight. We will continue to explore the forest during the day and then return to the territory before dark."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Cao Xing didn't say much, and directly ordered: "Let's go, we will go directly to the depths of the Witch Forest, circle around the castle, and try to explore more areas."

Given the sheer size of this forest, it’s definitely impossible to explore it all in one day.

So Cao Xing could only explore the deepest part first.

"As you command, Lord!"

Everyone remains enthusiastic.

Then they walked out of the wild boar tribe together.

Keep moving forward.

They came straight to the depths of the Witchwood.

That is near the castle.

Then, their journey of fighting and exploration began.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dabai's heavy footsteps echoed in the forest.

Soon, they encountered the first wave of monsters.

“Blah, blah!”

The white petals slowly opened like whirlpools, revealing the black and purple thorns inside.

This is a group of nightmare carnivorous plants, about thirty or forty in number.

The levels are all above level 38, and there are some level 40 Piranha Plants among them.

However, there are only a few elite-level creatures among these Piranha Plants, and no boss-level creatures.

Cao Xing gave the order directly: "Fight as you wish and make a quick decision."

Monsters of this level are a crushing blow to them.

"Bron! Attack!"

"Boar Warrior! Charge!"

Braum and Lab, two battle maniacs, rushed forward together.

Then, there were Assam riding on the Frostwolf and Jonathan holding a spear.

The situation was under their control in an instant.

In the rear, there is Cao Xing and a group of powerful mages and archers, providing long-range fire suppression.

This group of carnivorous plants had no chance of resistance at all.

It took them just six minutes to finish the battle.

Then, he and Liu Muxue spent about ten minutes cleaning up the battlefield.

As usual, Cao Xing walked over and picked up everything on the ground.

[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha Plant's Spikes (Green) * 2438]

[Obtained: Nightmare Piranha Plant's Spikes (Blue) *431]

[Obtained: Nightmare Piranha Elite Soul*2]

[Obtained: Intermediate Power Heart*5]

[Obtain: Tier 3 Elite Nightmare Court Archer Scroll *2]

[Obtained: Level 3 Nightmare Court Archer Scroll *5]

【Obtained...】

…

"Not bad, not bad. There are 5 intermediate power hearts and 7 scrolls."

"As expected, higher-level monsters have a higher drop rate."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

In addition to these things, there is a lot of materials, and the benefits are quite good.

After finishing this wave of battle, they continued to explore.

After about forty minutes, Cao Xing and others encountered the second wave of monsters today.

That's a group of human-faced trees.

Then it was the usual crushing battle...

…

…

Time passes slowly.

Over the next three or four hours, they fought a total of three battles.

The battle didn't last long.

Most of the time was spent on exploration.

There's no way, the Witchwood is too big.

Although the monsters in the depths are of high level, they are not as dense as expected.

In addition, it took a lot of time to clean up the spoils on the ground.

The morning passed quickly.

Cao Xing and others appeared next to an open space.

He could already feel the temperature in the forest dropping rapidly.

I glanced at the numbers above my head.

[Distance until nightfall: 6:32…]

【Current temperature: -61℃】

…

The temperature directly reached more than 60 degrees below zero.

It was clear that a blizzard was really coming.

Cao Xing said, "Everyone, take a half-hour break and get ready for lunch."

"We'll fight a little more this afternoon, and then we'll be ready to go back."

Hearing this, everyone showed expectant expressions on their faces.

After all, they knew that Cao Xing would prepare a lot of food in his backpack every time he went out.

Then, like a magic trick, Cao Xing took out a lot of white bread, roasted secret rabbit meat, honey, etc. from his backpack...

This is the benefit of a carry-on backpack.

Even outside, you can eat rich food.

Everyone started having a picnic on the spot.

Lab and Bron devoured the food.

"Oh! What delicious rabbit meat!"

At this time, Elisa patted her butt, stood up from the ground, and then walked to Cao Xing with eager eyes.

Seeing her somewhat embarrassed expression, Cao Xing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"That is... that... Lord..."

"Can you give me a bottle of milk..."

"Elissa hasn't had any milk today!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, "Do you drink milk every day?"

Elisa nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes!"

"My mother left when I was very young, and my father would take me out to drink fresh milk every day so that I could grow up healthily."

"This is a habit I developed since I was a child, hehehe..."

Elisa smiled sheepishly.

Cao Xing, on the other hand, had a strange look on his face.

Old Mel raised a lot of cows, so it was normal for him to have so much milk to supply his daughter.

But why didn't Elisa grow up even though she drank so much milk?

That flat chest, and that height of less than 1.6 meters...

Noticing Cao Xing's gaze, Elisa also looked at him curiously.

Cao Xing smiled and took out two bottles of [Yuncai calf milk] from his backpack.

"Here you go. Remember to give Xiao Chuchu a bottle."

Elisa happily took it and said, "Wow! Thank you, Lord!"

After saying that, she skipped to Tong Chuchu's side and shared the delicious milk with her.

After eating and drinking enough.

After everyone stood up again.

Then we started to explore the area about ten kilometers around the castle.

From noon to around three in the afternoon, they experienced two more battles.

During this period, Cao Xing harvested a large number of [Intermediate Power Hearts], as well as many elite souls and leader souls.

In addition, the number of [Nightmare Piranha Spikes] has exceeded 20,000, and there are a large number of miscellaneous blue and purple materials.

You can imagine how amazing their harvest was today!

Especially those spikes, if you give them all to Harold to make them into arrows, and then take them to the [market] to trade.

It will definitely bring Cao Xing a lot of resources.

now.

Cao Xing and others continued to walk through the forest.

Checked the time.

[Distance until nightfall: 3 hours and 7 minutes...]

…

"There are only three hours left. We have to hurry back."

"As expected, time flies by quickly when people are busy."

Cao Xing thought with a smile.

"Now, it's time to share these high-level hearts of power in my hands and increase everyone's strength."

And at this moment, he suddenly raised his eyes.

Because he saw many big and strong trees.

After these two days of dealing with.

Now, they can distinguish whether those trees are ordinary big trees or human-faced trees through some very subtle details.

Obviously, these are the human-faced trees.

Cao Xing said, "Shoot two arrows and see."

Hearing this.

Elisa and Rhaenys had already drawn their bows at the same time.

“Swish! Swish!”

The arrow hits!

The group of human-faced trees also instantly recovered from their disguise.

“Blah…”

Dozens of ancient trees turned around at the same time, revealing the pale human face on their trunks.

Cao Xing glanced over.

I found that they were all a group of human-faced trees from level 38 to 40.

Among them, there are 5 elite human-faced trees and 3 boss human-faced trees.

The most important thing is that there is a level 39 leader-level human-faced tree among them!

This made Cao Xing very excited!

"Great, great! Finally, I get to encounter another boss-level creature!"

Although they killed many monsters today, most of them were bosses and elites, and they only encountered one boss-level creature.

The soul hasn't exploded yet!

Now, Cao Xing finally encountered a leader-level creature again.

So he quickly commanded, "The old way."

"Bron, Baymax, Volibear, deal with that boss-level man-faced tree."

"Isabel, Hilda, Asam, each of you will deal with a leader-level human-faced tree."

"Jonathan, Jonathan, five elite human-faced trees are now in your hands."

"Everyone else, kill those ordinary people with all your strength!"

After receiving Cao Xing's order, everyone instantly aimed at their targets!

Compared to yesterday, their strength has more than improved to a higher level.

Renis became the leader.

Hilda and Isabelle broke through to the fourth level.

And the group of Nightmare Garden archers, all of them have greatly increased in strength!

Especially Renes.

In the [Hunter's Heart] state, she is surrounded by red energy.

Quickly draw the bowstring.

“Swish! Swish!”

Arrows shot out one after another and landed on the leader of the human-faced tree, causing serious damage.

【-4072! 】

【-4132! 】

【-4093! 】

…

Every arrow is a critical hit.

Her current output can definitely compete with that of a fourth-level Holy Light Priest like Isabelle!
