"We are going to rid the people of this evil!"
After Cao Xing finished speaking, everyone responded.
"As you command, Lord!"
Then, Cao Xing first called Dabai and Wally over.
He and Liu Muxue went to collect all the [Moses Grass] beside the pond.
【Obtain: Moses Grass (Green)*17723】
【Obtain: Moses Grass (Green)*16894】
【Obtained: Moses grass seeds (green) * 7231】
【Obtained...】
…
There were large areas of moss growing here, and the two of them had a lot of fun picking it.
Soon, all the grass was pulled out by them.
At the same time.
Two giant beasts, Baymax and Volibear, also came over.
“Boom! Boom!”
Cao Xing glanced at the people on the field, and at the Yuncai Niu behind him.
Then he said, "Jonathan, Jonathan, take Baymax and Wally with you and find a safe place to guard our yak."
"Then wait for my news."
The two dragonblood warriors straightened their bodies and said respectfully, "As you command, Lord, we will definitely not let the yak get hurt."
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
"Everyone else, follow me."
After that, everyone started to act separately.
Cao Xing led a group of people and found a small path up the mountain.
Then they came to the place where Sarah and others were fighting.
There were piles of corpses lying on the cliffs on both sides.
There is also loot that these guys drop upon death.
Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.
Because he saw a bunch of hearts of power and souls!
Just walk over and put them all away.
[Obtain: Advanced Power Heart*1]
[Obtained: Snow Mountain Predator's Elite Soul *2]
[Obtained: Intermediate Power Heart*7]
[Obtained: 3rd level earth mage apprentice recruitment scrolls*3]
[Obtained: Goblin Fragment Bomb*7]
【Get: Coin*17239】
[Obtained: Advanced Element Crystals *12]
[Obtained: Intermediate Element Crystals *37]
…
"Oh? Three scrolls for recruiting earth mage apprentices, and a goblin fragment bomb?"
Cao Xing took a look at the properties of these two new things.
[Tier 3 Earth Mage Recruitment Scroll]
[Effect of item: After use, you can summon an earth mage apprentice with the third-level strength, who has the skills of "Intermediate Earth Element Control" and "Earth Spike"]
…
"Just a mage apprentice? Although he has the strength of a third-level mage, his skills are too limited."
You know, for a wizard, the most important thing is various advanced spells.
Without spells, you can only use some ordinary attacks, and your fighting power is quite weak.
"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I still have more than 40 elite souls in my backpack, which is enough to wipe out all these mage apprentices."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing put all the scrolls into his backpack and prepared to return to the territory to summon them again.
Then he moved on to the next thing.
It was a palm-sized bomb, and it felt very textured when held in the hand.
【Goblin Fragment Bomb (Blue)】
【Attack power: 1723~1854】
[Attached special effect ①: Explosion (After detonation, causes 100% damage to all enemies within a 10m range)]
[Attached special effect ②: Splash (After the bomb explodes, a large amount of debris will appear, causing 78% damage to enemies within 20 meters, and adding 1 layer of bleeding effect)]
…
Cao Xing thought: "Although this bomb is only blue grade, its attack power is quite high."
"And the most important thing is that this bomb doesn't have a cooldown period like skills or other attacks."
"If you have enough bombs, you can even kill a sixth-level commander or even a stronger one!"
Of course, this is just a hypothesis.
After all, the more powerful the being, the higher their armor and the faster their reaction ability.
Just like the group of Snow Mountain Raiders who raided Cao Xing today, even though the enemy had the advantage of terrain, they were still stopped by their powerful strength.
Cao Xing put it into his backpack.
In addition, there is also a high-level heart of power in the loot.
It just so happens that many of my subordinates are stuck at level 30 and they all need this thing to break through.
So, he first gave Elisa the [Withered Longbow (Gold)] that Renis had replaced.
He then handed the Heart of Advanced Power in his hand to her.
Elisa took the two things and a surprised smile immediately appeared on her face!
"Wow! This is something that can make me stronger!"
"And this bow and arrow is amazing too!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Cao Xing smiled and said, "You have performed well recently. This is a reward for you."
"Now, let's just use this Heart of Power to break through."
"As you command, my handsome lord!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she crushed the Heart of Power and entered a breakthrough state.
Cao Xing continued to clean up the battlefield, picking up all the clothes and weapons of the looters.
[Obtained: Damaged jute cotton clothes*42]
[Obtained: Damaged Linen Cotton Clothes*23]
[Obtained: Snow Mountain Plunderer Standard Weapons (Knife, Sword, Gun, Bow) *62]
[Obtained: Goblin Fragmentation Bomb*18]
…
"Not bad, I got a few dozen more cotton clothes and a dozen bombs."
"Although these cotton coats are damaged, we can ask Jenny and Elena to sew them when we get back."
Cao Xing looked towards him happily.
At this time, Renis came over and said, "My Lord, I sensed that the hunting mark is one or two kilometers ahead. Do you want me to explore it first?"
Sarah next to him said, "I'll come too."
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, you guys go ahead."
After getting permission, the two girls looked at each other, both with a faint smile on their faces, and then walked directly into the forest ahead.
But Cao Xing looked at their backs and felt something was strange.
The relationship between these two women seems to be getting better and better.
Cao Xing also discovered that not only them, but also the subjects under his command had become much closer.
Many people have found friends who share the same interests as them.
For example, Braum and Assam, Centaur and Boar Warrior, Elisa and Tong Chuchu, etc.
This is also a good thing for Cao Xing.
After all, one's own territory is like a big family.
While everyone is loyal to themselves, they can also find friends who get along well with them, and they can communicate more often to increase their sense of belonging.
As I was thinking, time began to pass slowly.
A few minutes later.
Elisa, who was in the process of breaking through, suddenly felt an extremely strong icy aura rising from her body.
It was like an icy arrow shot out, carrying with it a chilling sense of threat.
[Your territory member: Elisa has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-level boss creature. The basic attributes have increased by 100%]
[Due to its greatly improved attributes, the beginner bow and arrow mastery has been upgraded to the intermediate bow and arrow mastery...]
…
Elisa opened her azure eyes, then walked over with a bow and arrow in her arms and said happily, "I succeeded, Lord!"
"Congratulations. Keep working hard and strive to break through to level five as soon as possible."
Cao Xing encouraged with a smile.
Elisa nodded heavily, "Yes! I will try my best!"
After saying that, everyone continued to wait where they were.
A few minutes later.
Sarah and Renes appeared in front.
The two girls quickly came over and reported, "My Lord, we have found the entrance to the raiders' camp."
"However, there was a barrier blocking us, so we didn't go in to investigate."
"Barrier?"
"Yes, this barrier is quite strong. Even if Sarah and I work together, it will take some time to break it."
Cao Xing thought for a moment, then said directly: "I understand. Take us there directly."
"As you command, Lord."
After saying that, everyone followed Sarah and Renees and walked towards the dense forest.
And Braum, the blood cow, walked at the front of the team holding a shield.
After entering the dense forest, they took many detours along the way.
There are no fixed routes in the dense forest, and you will often pass through some forks in the road.
If it weren't for the "Hunting Mark" special effect on the hunting longbow equipped by Renis, it would not be possible to find the location of the raiders' camp.
With Renis's induction, they soon arrived at their destination.
Everyone saw that at the foot of the mountain ahead, there appeared several small watchtowers, on which stood several archers wearing animal skins and horned helmets.
Behind the watchtower is a giant hole about two or three meters wide and six meters high!
"Is this the place?" Cao Xing asked.
Renis replied: "Yes, I sense that guy is in the cave now."
Cao Xing nodded slightly. He did not hide anything and led his men towards the entrance of the cave.
The snow mountain plunderers who were guarding the gate also discovered Cao Xing and others, and their faces changed immediately!
"Damn it! These are the guys that Chief Savage was talking about, and they're coming here now!"
"What should we do? Our camp location has been exposed!"
"We are no match for this group of people. Let's go into the camp and inform the leader!"
These snow mountain plunderers didn't even fight, they just jumped down from the watchtower and rushed into the cave.
Cao Xing did not stop him.
On the one hand, it was because they were inside the barrier, and on the other hand, they were about to enter a cave, so they would be exposed.
Then, he led people directly to the entrance of the passage.
An invisible energy shield appeared, blocking everyone's way.
Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.
【Mountain Soul Barrier】
[Armor: 3000]
Durability: 150000/150000
[Additional Effect ①: Level 5 Overlimit Rune (Immune to attacks below level 5)]
[Attached special effect ②: Mountain Soul (For every 10,000 decrease in durability, a mountain soul with level 5 strength will be summoned to attack the enemy)]
…
"This barrier is quite interesting. Not only does it have a special effect of immunity to attacks, but as its durability decreases, it will also summon mountain spirits to attack us."
There was a smile on Cao Xing's lips.
To be honest, up to now, he still doesn't know how the barrier is formed.
If possible, he also wanted to create a barrier to protect his territory.
Francesca should know, after all, there is a large barrier near her castle. Cao Xing decided to ask this woman when he returned.
Shaking his head, Cao Xing cleared his mind and focused his gaze on the [Mountain Soul Barrier] in front of him.
With a durability of 150,000, it will take some time to break.
Sarah and Assam said at the same time: "My Lord, do you need us to take action?"
"Need not."
After saying that, Cao Xing took out a hairpin from his backpack. The hairpin had a round surface and was emitting a faint glow.
It was the [Vivian's Hairpin (Orange)] obtained in the Witch Castle last time.
This thing is like a magical weapon when dealing with these barriers.
Cao Xing held it in his hand and stabbed it directly.
"Boo!"
Followed by a crisp cracking sound.
This barrier quickly dissipated like a burst bubble.
Elisa looked at the hairpin in Cao Xing's hand curiously and exclaimed, "What a beautiful hairpin!"
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Let's go in."
Just as he was about to step into the cave.
Asam and Bron said at the same time: "Lord, please let us clear the way ahead."
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay."
Assam, holding a legendary weapon, and Braum, holding a huge shield, walked in the front.
Everyone followed them into the cave.
As soon as he entered, Cao Xing felt a wave of warmth coming.
At the same time, the light became a little dim.
A system prompt appears.
[You have entered a special area: the Predator Camp]
[Level of danger: medium]
…
The medium danger level means that the creatures inside are not a big threat to Cao Xing.
I looked at the temperature above my head.
【Current temperature: 8℃】
The temperature difference between the cave and the outside is as much as several dozen degrees. In the deep mountains with biting cold winds, there is a place like this, which is simply a holy place.
"It's a nice place. No wonder these guys can live in the mountains for so long and rule the land."
Cao Xing began to observe the environment inside.
This passage is very wide.
It is three or four meters wide and about six meters high.
It can accommodate more than a dozen people walking side by side.
There were clusters of burning torches stuck on the cave walls, providing high visibility.
Following the bright passage, everyone moved forward and walked for about dozens of meters.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air from the front!
“Swish! Swish!”
Without any warning, dozens of arrows were shot directly at them.
Seeing this, no one panicked.
Because they already knew that their tracks had been exposed.
Leader Cao Xingxia: "Bron, stop them."
Bron shouted.
"Ice Giant Ancestor, give me strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body grew rapidly.
Then, holding the huge [Evil Eye Shield], he blocked a large number of arrows.
Duh! Duh!
The arrows landed on Bronn's head, causing triple-digit damage.
Compared to his blood volume, it is totally insignificant.
However, some arrows still missed and attacked everyone.
Isabel in the back raised her staff and said, "Holy Light will protect us."
A [Holy Light Incense Shield] emitting golden light suddenly appeared and blocked all remaining arrows.
Isabel's skill is really useful. While blocking damage, it can also push monsters and detonate shields to cause damage.
At the same time, Cao Xing and others also saw the enemy's appearance clearly.
They were a group of Snow Mountain Raider archers wearing horn helmets, numbering about thirty or forty people.
When they saw that their first wave of attacks had no effect, they were immediately shocked.
"Just as Chief Savage said, these people are extremely powerful, and each one of them is a monster!"
"Hurry up, let's go to the back of the passage!"
Having said this, the archers prepared to retreat.
However, Braum slapped his shield and laughed, "Ahaha, I see you!"
At this moment, he was in the form of an ice giant, rushing out like a bulldozer.
"Boom!"
When the group of plunderers saw Braum rushing towards them, they showed fear in their eyes!
One of the archers quickly ordered, "Don't panic! Shoot! Keep shooting!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large number of arrows were shot at.
At the same time.
The archers stared at Braum's feet with a hint of expectation in their eyes, as if they were waiting for something.
Braum, holding up his shield, was fearless at all, blocking a large number of arrows and rushing forward!
At this moment, he seemed to step on something.
“Shh…”
In an instant, Cao Xing smelled the smell of gunpowder.
"Bron, be careful!"
Before Braum could react, flames appeared under his feet.
"Boom! Boom!"
Violent explosions occurred one after another.
A large damage number appears above Braum's head.
【-752】
【-1124】
【-845】
【-1162】
【-1252】
…
Seeing this, the Marauder Archer in the back laughed and said, "Haha, this guy stepped on our bomb trap!"
"Keep attacking, I'm going to turn this guy into a hedgehog!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
More arrows shot into the smoke, as if trying to take advantage of the victory.
Dozens of three-digit damage numbers appeared as Braum withstood two waves of arrow fire and a wave of bomb traps.
The blood volume has indeed dropped a lot.
And at this moment.
Liu Muxue behind him raised her hand and used [Holy Healing Technique], and Isabel raised her hand and used [Chain of Holy Light].
Two duplicate numbers appeared on Bron's head.
+6629
+5231
…
In the blink of an eye, his health returned to normal.
Not only that, but more than 2,000 replies were also appearing on Bloomberg.
The group of archers continued to draw their bows and arrows with relentless determination, with joy of victory in their eyes.
Then they saw a scene they would never forget.
A giant with a naked upper body and a grin on his face walked out in the thick smoke.
Moreover, he even looked unharmed.
At this moment, the group of archers were stunned.
"God of the Mountain! What kind of monster is this?"
"He took so much bombing from the goblins and so many arrows from us, why is he not hurt at all?"
"Is this person immortal?"
Braum blew his beard. "Little mice, are you trying to tickle me with your attacks?"
Hearing this, the group of Snow Mountain Raider archers suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.
“Retreat…Retreat!”
They turned around without hesitation and tried to escape.
At this moment, Cao Xing raised his staff and directly released an [Ice Wall Spell].
And, most importantly, his [Ice Wall Technique] was released behind them.
When the raiders finally reacted, they discovered a thick wall of ice that completely blocked their way.
At this moment, fear appeared in the plunderer's eyes.
"Damn it! How come there's suddenly an ice wall!"
"Attack! Attack quickly! Destroy this ice wall!"
They attacked frantically.
However, the durability of [Ice Wall Technique] is Cao Xing's spirit*10, which means that this ice wall has a durability of more than 20,000.
With their injuries, it would take several seconds to break through.
Cao Xing said casually: "Go ahead, kill these guys."
The words fell.
Holding a huge axe in his hand, Berjie leaped out suddenly.
"BOOM!"
The giant axe carried boundless force and smashed a huge pit directly on the spot!
At least a dozen archers were knocked away by this attack!
Sarah, the powerful Assam, and Andrew in his owl form, launched various terrifying attacks.
All the members on Cao Xing's side are at least leader level or above.
The opponents are just a group of ordinary fourth-level archers.
Obviously, this is a battle with no suspense.
“Puff! Puff!”
One by one, the snow mountain plunderers fell.
He was beaten to the point where he had no power to fight back.
Kill information also keeps appearing.
[Your territory member: Bertie Sunstrider killed Snow Mountain Predator lv38, a fourth-level elite creature, and killed a monster above his level. Experience points: 3800*2]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 1900]
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance...]
…
Two minutes later.
The battle is over.
The bodies of many snow raiders were lying on the ground.
Cao Xing walked over and continued to pick up the spoils on the ground.
[Obtained: Intermediate Power Heart*8]
[Obtained: Elite Soul of Snow Mountain Plunderer*2]
[Obtained: 3rd level earth mage apprentice recruitment scrolls*3]
[Obtained: Goblin Fragmentation Bomb*17]
[Obtained: Advanced Element Crystals*4]
[Obtained: Intermediate Element Crystals *12]
[Obtained: Damaged jute cotton clothes*41]
【Get: Coin*7822】
…
"I collected several dozen more sets of clothing and three recruitment scrolls."
"If we can defeat all the raiders in this camp, we should be able to form a team of ten earth mages."
Cao Xing thought happily.
"Not bad, not bad, let's move on."
Following this passage, they made many turns and entered several spacious areas.
These areas are blocked by some caltrops and fences, and appear to be the defense points of this camp.
However, all the snow mountain raiders inside have already fled.
They also had no problems and continued to move forward.
There was a bend in the passage ahead.
Just as they were about to enter this bend.
Renis suddenly reminded.
"My Lord, please wait a moment. There are many traps in the passage ahead."
After hearing this, everyone stopped walking.
They looked over.
But what he found was just a flat ground, and there was no trace of any trap at all.
And Cao Xing has the [Eye of True Vision].
Looking over, he found a large number of traps just as Renis had said.
[Level 4 Spike Trap], [Level 4 Rockfall Trap], [Level 4 Poison Trap], [Level 4 Explosive Trap]...
Cao Xing nodded, "There are indeed a lot of traps. The damage of these fourth-level traps is quite high."
After hearing this, Braum patted his chest and said, "My Lord, let Braum just charge forward!"
"Those traps can't hurt Braum."
Triggering all the traps once is also a good idea.
At this time, Sarah said calmly: "Let me do it. I can handle these traps."
Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Compared to Braum's brute force, Sarah is more reliable.
After hearing this, Sarah directly entered the [Moon Dance] form.
Buzz!
The power of the dark moon descends, making Sarah's movements more flexible.
She just walked casually and deliberately triggered the traps one by one.
【Spike Trap】Triggered.
There was a huge dent in the ground, and underneath it stood many poisonous spikes.
At this time, Sarah jumped up flexibly and steadily.
Then, she triggered the [Spike Trap].
The spikes on both sides of the wall shot out instantly, but Sarah flashed and dodged them at a faster speed.
Sarah followed the same method and walked along, with various traps constantly being triggered.
"BOOM!"
"Bang!"
There was a constant sound of falling rocks and explosions.
And Sarah was also dodging flexibly.
Of course, even if there is something you can't avoid, you can just use the holy shield on your body to resist it.
Soon, she had dismantled at least a dozen traps along the way.
Then, Sarah came over unscathed.
She said calmly, "It has all been demolished."
After hearing this, Cao Xing also praised: "Well done, Sarah."
As expected of a fifth-level commander-level assassin, he is so efficient.
Then, they continued walking deeper into the passage.
…
