Cao Xing controlled the vines at will.

How should I describe his feeling now? It is as if his territory has turned into a 3D plane and he can move the buildings in the territory at will.

Including residential houses, sewing shops, blacksmith shops, etc.

He can move it however he wants, all he has to do is lay down the land and clear away the debris afterwards.

Cao Xing suddenly had an idea at this time, "Since the sewing shop and the blacksmith shop can be moved, can the furnace and the lord's mansion be moved?"

If this is possible, Cao Xing will have more room to maneuver!

If you get into trouble outside in the future, your enemies will come to seek revenge.

He can even run away with his territory!

However, when Cao Xing controlled the underground vines and approached the furnace and the lord's mansion, he discovered something regrettable.

Even giant vines cannot shake these two buildings.

The same goes for the soil underneath. After the vines are cut, they don't move at all.

Seeing this, Cao Xing thought to himself, "As the core buildings of the territory, the furnace and the lord's mansion cannot be moved, right?"

Obviously, this is the power of the system.

Forces the furnace and the lord's palace to be fixed in one place, making it difficult for survivors to move their territory easily.

He also gave up this idea.

"Forget it, let's just develop here. The terrain around my territory is pretty good anyway!"

Next, Cao Xing began to familiarize himself with the control of this huge vine.

One moment he rearranged the sentry towers and elemental arrow towers, the next moment he moved the dormant ancient war tree outside the territory.

Cao Xing had a lot of fun.

Half an hour later, Cao Xing was basically able to control these vines as if they were his own arms.

At this time, he suddenly had another idea.

"down!"

The next moment, the main vein of this huge vine began to grow rapidly downwards.

"Boom!"

All the frozen soil, gravel, and even some metal minerals along the way were broken apart by its brute force!

Five hundred meters...

One thousand meters...

One thousand five hundred meters...

This huge vine keeps going deeper and deeper.

According to Cao Xing's perception, the geological layer here seemed to have changed, and the soil became a little damp.

Extending to about two kilometers underground, this huge vine seemed to have finally reached its limit.

"Two kilometers, is that the maximum length of the vines?"

But it was enough for him.

You know, the diameter of Cao Xing's territory is only one thousand meters.

Based on this length, Cao Xing can almost expand his territory to a diameter of three or four kilometers.

The territory has increased dramatically!

And most importantly, this vine will continue to grow over time.

From now on, even if Cao Xing built a huge city, as long as he had this vine, he could change the layout of his territory at will!

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. With this, we can start the second round of expansion of the territory."

"But not now, everyone is resting now."

"Let's wait until tomorrow."

At this time, Juliette and Neve also came closer.

They had just been standing by, watching Cao Xing controlling the vines, with surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.

As a botanist, Juliette also knew how magical this plant was and how much help it could bring to the territory.

The huge vines can grow so quickly, in addition to various acceleration props, it is also inseparable from the care of the sisters.

The two girls also had peaceful smiles on their faces.

Juliette said softly, "My Lord, in addition to this vine, the twilight vine you asked me to plant last time has also grown."

"And according to your instructions, the twilight vine that grew has been moved to the well."

After hearing this, Cao Xing looked towards his farmland, next to which there was a newly dug well.

There was a hazy mist floating from the wellhead, and a faint light was still being emitted.

It was as if something magical was glowing in the well.

"Not bad, not bad. With the Twilight Vine, this well will be transformed from an ordinary well into a Twilight Spring."

"According to the system, this spring water also has a purifying effect."

"The only thing missing to make holy water is the last ingredient, the Aurora Grass."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then praised: "Juliette, Neve, you have worked hard. The development of the territory is inseparable from your contributions."

Juliette said softly, "We are very happy to be able to help the Lord..."

"Yes, yes! Lord, just leave the plants to us. Neve and my sister are very capable!"

At this moment, peaceful smiles appeared on the two girls' faces.

Cao Xing noticed.

The cool moonlight at night shone on their already fair skin, making it appear shiny.

It is so beautiful.

This also made him unable to help but watch for a while longer.

Facing Cao Xing's gaze, Juliette and Neve's cheeks blushed slightly, and they held each other's hands, seeming a little nervous.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly took out two things from his backpack.

These are two dresses.

One of the dresses is like a blooming tulip, with its delicate color and exquisite tailoring complementing each other. The pearl decoration on the neckline is like morning dew, emitting a warm glow.

The other dress seemed to be woven with moonlight. Its elegant color was like a tranquil lake, and the lace on the hem was like a dancing butterfly, light and agile.

The two girls' attention was immediately attracted by these two beautiful clothes.

Juliette was immediately amazed and exclaimed, "Wow! What a beautiful dress!"

Neve next to her also agreed: "Yes, yes, I have never worn such beautiful clothes!"

The Dryads are a race that live in the jungle.

For them, the best clothing is the leaves of the sacred tree.

Including when Cao Xing first met these tree spirits, the clothes they wore were also woven with leaves.

But loving beauty is a woman's nature.

The same goes for these guardians.

So after seeing this beautiful dress, the two sisters couldn't take their eyes off it.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "For you. I think these two pieces of clothing are very suitable for you."

After hearing this, the two girls smiled with surprise at the same time.

Then, he asked unconfidently, "Lord, is this really for us?"

"We have never worn such beautiful clothes before. Will we not be worthy of them..."

But Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, with your beauty, how could you not be worthy of wearing such clothes?"

Hearing Cao Xing's praise and encouragement, the unconfidence on the two girls' faces disappeared, and their faces turned slightly red.

Cao Xing continued, "Come, take it."

At this time, they also mustered up their courage and came to Cao Xing.

Neve took the pale yellow dress, and Juliette took the silver-white one.

They stretched out their white skin and rubbed it carefully, some of them couldn't let it go.

Little Niv said happily, "I've seen that beautiful witch sister wear it before. It was so beautiful. I never thought I could wear such a beautiful dress."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

At this moment, Juliette and Neve looked at each other.

Then they walked over together and hugged Cao Xing's waist.

Cao Xing felt two soft bodies in his arms, and a faint fragrance penetrated his nose.

Because the tree spirits deal with plants all year round, their bodies all have a peculiar plant fragrance...

The two girls said shyly, "This... this is also our way of expressing our gratitude to our family..."

Cao Xing also laughed after hearing this and let them hug him.

He ran his hands through their soft hair.

After a moment, Juliette whispered.

"Lord... we are going to continue working. We haven't finished planting the ice bindweed seeds you brought back last time..."

"Next time we have time... we'll wear it for you to see..."

Juliette spoke the last sentence in a very low voice.

But Cao Xing still heard it, and he nodded, "Okay, you go ahead."

After saying that, the two girls reluctantly let go of Cao Xing's waist.

And Cao Xing also left here.

…

…

After leaving the back garden, Cao Xing was in a good mood.

After all, it’s hard not to be happy when you suddenly have such a magical plant!

While walking leisurely in the territory.

At the same time, be prepared to open the chat channel and check out the survivors' chats.

After all, there was a system announcement today when they went out.

The Ice Kingdom's army has arrived and is recruiting survivors to join the ensuing siege.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "I wonder what the battle in Lake Toronto is like after a day. Is there any fighting between the two sides?"

"Or is it that the fight is over?"

And at this moment.

Cao Xing suddenly saw the gate of the territory open, and a tall creature with a cat-like head walked back in slowly.

It was none other than the Black Smoke Shaman: Blot Brimstone.

Cao Xing quickly stepped forward and asked, "Blot, did you just come back?"

Blot said respectfully, "Yes, dear Lord, I went to investigate the ancient battlefield as you instructed."

"However, the situation is somewhat different from what we expected."

"Different?"

"Yes."

Blot nodded and said, "There are indeed traces of an ancient battlefield there, as well as many damaged weapons, and occasionally some third or fourth level corpses and undead appear."

"But the levels of these monsters are not high, so I just dealt with them and prepared to explore the center of the ancient battlefield ahead."

"Then, I saw a passage leading underground in the central area."

Cao Xing was even more confused. "Underground passage? Do you mean the real ancient battlefield is underground?"

Blot nodded again.

"Yes, I went down this passage and found a very large underground space below."

"In addition to the traces of war there, there are also a terrifying number of undead spirits roaming about!"

"There are even some undead among them, which even give me a strong sense of crisis!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing also frowned.

Blot is now a fourth-level leader, and with his powerful state, even a fifth-level leader cannot pose a threat to him.

And the fact that he felt a sense of crisis meant that there might be undead spirits above level six in that ancient battlefield?

Good guys!

You know, even the Duke of Palatine only has the strength of a fifth-level marshal.

How powerful is a sixth-level undead?

Blot continued, "Later, I was worried that these undead would pose a threat to our territory, so I observed them there for a long time and found that these undead seemed unable to come to the ground for some reason."

"Then I will return immediately to report this news to the Lord."

Cao Xing nodded. "Well done, Blot. Next time when you gather intelligence, try to consider your own safety."

"Thank you for your concern, Lord."

Blot bowed slightly, still with a worried look on his face.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "My Lord, I think that ancient battlefield is a big security risk for us."

"It's too close to our territory."

"And there is a terrifying and powerful army of undead below..."

"Those undead spirits can't come out at the moment, but if they break out from underground one day, I'm afraid it will cause a huge impact on our territory."

The black smoke shaman had worry in his eyes.

And Cao Xing was also thinking about this problem seriously.

It must be said that his concerns are justified.

Not far from his territory, there was actually a huge underground ancient battlefield, and it hid so many undead spirits.

Once those undead rush out, their territory will be the first to be hit!

When the time comes, you will be caught off guard and suddenly face a massive onslaught of the undead, the consequences will be disastrous!

These are no longer low-level ice nest monsters, but a group of terrifyingly powerful undead!

This can be seen from the fact that Duke Palatine can lead more than a thousand warrior undeads and unleash a fighting force that is beyond their level.

The number of the undead army below is definitely far greater than Paladin's undead army.

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel lucky that he asked Blott to go down and investigate.

Cao Xing said solemnly: "I understand, Blot, this information is very important to us."

"Now, go back and rest. I'll take care of the rest."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out an [Ice Corruption Staff (Gold)] from his backpack and handed it over.

This Black Smoke Shaman could naturally feel the powerful magic contained in the staff given by Cao Xing.

A level 30 golden staff can increase Blot's combat power by at least 20%!

He took it solemnly, "Thank you, respected lord."

After saying that, he quickly left here.

After he left, Cao Xing had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"I never thought that the ancient battlefield would hide such a great danger."

"According to Blot, there may be undead above level six down there, and there are quite a few of them."

"In my territory, only Sarah, Assam, and Andrew have the strength to deal with level 6 creatures."

"Plus a ground dragon mecha and a frost moose..."

"There are five level six fighters in total. They are definitely not able to fight against the monsters in the ancient battlefield."

"And if I don't encounter some major events in the short term, I probably won't be able to continue to significantly improve my strength."

"So, we need to think of other ways to deal with those undead spirits."

At this moment, an idea flashed in Cao Xing's mind.

He remembered that there was a drawing of the [Holy Water Formula] in the Haoyue Treasure Chest that he opened in Annuohe Village last time.

"This holy water seems to be very effective against the undead!"

"We have already got the materials required for the production, Twilight Spring Water. Now we only need the last type of Aurora Grass and the advanced alchemy workshop blueprints. Then we can mass produce this holy water."

"And if there is enough holy water, I can definitely deal with it even if there are seventh-level undead spirits in it."

After all, the 30% reduction in holy water and the 40% additional light damage are no joke.

Coupled with Cao Xing's [Eternal Power] bonus, he is almost the nemesis of the undead.

"It seems that the progress of Aurora Grass needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing decided to go to the [Blacksmith Shop] and [Alchemy Workshop] immediately to take out the things made by Harold and Francesca.

Then go to the market to trade and see if you can get the two things you need.

So he started heading straight to the Blacksmith Shop.

…

…

At the same time.

In a far corner of the western continent.

Two humans wearing yellow expedition uniforms, khaki safety helmets and carrying a large tool bag on their backs were crawling with difficulty in a passage.

In addition, they have various tools on their waists, which means they are fully armed.

The names above their heads are: Janes Garland and Dennis Renner.

If there are any survivors here, they will definitely be recognized.

These two are currently a pair of explorer couples who are quite popular in the world forum.

The two created a post and shared a video of their adventure on it.

They are smart and decisive.

Not long after the novice protection period ended, he found the local nobles, sold his territory, and obtained the first batch of startup funds.

Then, with the money, they began their adventure.

In this magical world, there is no shortage of all kinds of strange and bizarre places.

And these places also have some puzzle-solving elements.

This couple of explorers grasped this point and went to these places specifically to look for materials.

From the very beginning, explore the cannibal tribe and help them find the guardian of the tribe, a giant gorilla.

Later, they explored the goblin's lair and rescued a princess who was about to fall into depravity. After bringing her back to the main city, the king personally rewarded them with a huge fortune.

Then he led the army to the lair of the jungle trolls and wiped out all these monsters in one fell swoop.

Such as...

As their videos become more and more exciting, their popularity is growing.

Each video can get over 10 million hits!

And now, they are digging a long-sealed passage, apparently looking for some kind of material.

Dennis whispered to the camera: "Friends, I'm Rena, and the person recording this is my wife Galan. We meet again."

"As you can see, we are in an underground passage."

"This place is very hard to find. We got the clue from a dead person."

"The dead man was buried deep in a cursed area. My wife and I walked several kilometers and spent several days digging underground to find his coffin."

"Ahem, I'm getting off topic... But I swear, there must be some amazing secret hidden here!"

"We have been digging here for two days and are about to dig through this passage."

"Now, please come with me to witness the secrets that have been buried here for many years!"

Having said that, he continued to raise the pickaxe in his hand and dug at the wall.

“Ding! Ding ding!”

The knocking sounds continued.

After a while, he finally dug through the frozen soil in front of him, and a green light came faintly from inside.

My wife, who was taking photos using the system's built-in function, involuntarily moved the camera closer.

"Bang!"

As the wall was completely dug through.

A cold, damp breath kept coming out.

This made the two of them feel a chill all over their bodies.

Garland behind him looked a little worried, "Dear, this place makes me feel very uncomfortable, why don't we not go in?"

But Rena in front said, "Dear Garland, don't worry, I'm here for you!"

"Don't forget, I'm a man with the B-rank talent 'Driller'. If you encounter danger, I can take you underground and escape."

After hearing this, the worry on Jia Lan's face gradually disappeared.

Because before this, they really relied on Reina's talent to avoid crises time and time again.

Then, the explorer couple couldn't wait to go in.

A flash of green light.

When they regained their vision, they suddenly saw a scene that made their scalps tingle.

The two of them opened their eyes wide and even collapsed to the ground because they were so shocked.

After a moment, Dennis exclaimed, "Oh my God! What am I seeing?"

"Have we entered a city of the dead?"

In front of them, a large number of undead creatures were active in an ancient dungeon.

Undead bone dragons flying in the air, undead horses galloping underground, undead knights, and a large number of undead soldiers...

The aura of the dead on them rose into the sky and gathered into a green ocean!

Every undead here brings a deadly sense of crisis to the couple!

Moreover, the undead noticed their arrival in an instant!

Countless pairs of empty eyes looked at me.

The couple only felt that their bodies were shaking constantly, as if they were under a spell of immobilization, and were frozen in place.

"Re... Reina... hurry... hurry up!"

His wife's reminder brought him back to his senses.

Just as he was about to use his talent to escape, he suddenly saw a beam of black light shooting down from the sea of ​​undead in front of him.

A knight wearing armor and emitting black aura slowly approached.

The surrounding undead retreated when they saw the black knight.

A sense of oppression descended from the depths of the soul.

This couple had only one thought in their minds.

Worship, surrender...

However, reason told them that they had to leave as soon as possible.

The black knight simply glanced at them.

The next moment, the explorer couple was struck by lightning...

…

…

In addition to this couple of explorers, there have also been sporadic posts on world forums recently.

These people came from all over the world, and they all said that they had discovered a large number of undead souls underground in a certain area...

However, everyone's attention was on the Ice Nest, and no one cared about the news at all.
