The phantom assassin named Sarah saluted slightly to Cao Xing, the two shadow blades in her hands emitting a penetrating cold light.

Cao Xing nodded: "Welcome to join us, Sarah Blade Dance."

Sarah didn't react.

Liu Muxue also whispered at this time: "Welcome, Sarah."

Hearing the voice, the aloof Phantom Assassin turned his gaze towards Liu Muxue and responded, "Thank you, beautiful lady, Sarah Blade Dance is at your service."

Cao Xing rolled his eyes.

This phantom assassin is a bit aloof. He only responds to Liu Muxue and ignores me.

However, he had already gotten used to the cold reactions of these new recruits when they were first recruited, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, Cao Xing checked the attributes of this phantom assassin.

[Phantom Assassin: Sarah Blade Dance]

[Race: Dark Elf]

[Level: Level 20 7613/100000 (Second-level elite creature)]

[Health: 6713 (equipment bonus)]

[Satisfaction: 63]

【Loyalty: 59】

…

There was an undisguised look of surprise in Cao Xing's eyes.

Obviously, this is a rather terrifying existence.

With an attack power of nearly 700, a casual strike of the sword can trigger a critical hit, which is even comparable to a Barrett firing a gun.

If [Grace Release] is triggered, the damage from that one strike can directly cut off the enemy's skull.

Cao Xing sighed at this time: "This is not an assassin, this is simply a berserker, one knife per kid!"

However, Sarah is very strong now.

But with the blessing of Cao Xing's permanent talent, it can be improved to several levels.

So, Cao Xingrao looked at Sarah with interest and said, "Well, Sarah, I am going to cast a blessing effect on you now. Are you willing to accept it?"

Sarah opened her lips slightly and asked in confusion, "Blessing?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes."

Sarah didn't answer and seemed a little hesitant.

Firstly, she did not trust the new lord, and secondly, she felt that with his weak power, how could he bestow any powerful blessing on her?

After waiting for a while, Sarah nodded gently, "Okay, please bless me."

Then, Cao Xing didn't need to say more.

Ilena then cast [Snakeman Madness] and [Scale Armor] on her.

Sarah shuddered, and she clearly felt the power of this force.

Her thin lips parted slightly, but she didn't wait for him to speak.

Cao Xing also threw over [Ice Therapy] and [Ice Armor], plus Liu Muxue's [Aurora Blessing].

After five consecutive permanent BUFFs are applied.

Sarah froze in place.

Then, Cao Xing saw that her shoulders were trembling slightly.

As an assassin who often carries out assassination missions, Sarah knows better than anyone how terrible these permanent states are!

Not only can it greatly increase her endurance, it can also increase her ability to survive.

Especially Ilena's [Snakeman Frenzy], which is a percentage bonus BUFF.

Sarah could feel that her movement speed and shooting speed increased dramatically again.

Heavy breathing could be heard from under the helmet.

Then, she placed the Shadow Blade in her hand to her chest and saluted Cao Xing respectfully.

"Thank you for your gift, great lord."

"Sarah Blade Dance, I pledge my loyalty to you!"

Sarah's gesture was sincere.

A system prompt also appeared in Cao Xing's ears.

[You help follower: Sarah Blade Dance to improve strength, loyalty has been increased, current loyalty is 71]

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Then he looked at the other people in the territory.

"Well, let's go on now."

"Target: Mole Man Mine!"

Assam and Andrew responded.

"Follow the Lord's will."

The aloof Sarah also whispered at this time: "The Shadow Temple will guide me forward."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Then he took Liu Muxue with him.

A group of five figures walked out of the camp and headed into the boundless snowfield.

…

…

An hour later, everyone appeared in the vast ice field.

Behind them in the snow, there was a long trail of footprints.

The weather forecast calls for snow tonight, so these footprints will be covered up quickly.

Cao Xing stopped.

Because they have reached the location marked on the map of Assam.

It was a snowy mountain covered with white snow, and at the foot of the mountain there seemed to be a passage leading to the underground.

Asam was the first to speak: "My Lord, that is the mine I discovered yesterday."

Cao Xing nodded and continued to lead his men forward.

As they got closer, a system prompt appeared in front of them.

[Mole Man Mine: Special Area (There are a lot of mole men active inside, as well as some special dangers, please approach with caution).]

[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous]

It is extremely dangerous again.

But Cao Xing didn't care.

Compared to when he was in the Ranger Camp, his strength has improved a lot.

Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Go in."

Everyone understood and headed into the mine together.

Andrew, who had the highest defense, walked in first, and Assam was the second to enter.

As for Sarah, she disappeared into darkness when she entered the mine.

Cao Xing was completely unaware of the other party's presence.

But he knew Sarah was there.

Liu Muxue held up her shield and looked around vigilantly.

She knew that her mission was to protect Cao Xing from harm.

When they entered the mine, a system prompt appeared.

[You have entered a special area: the Mole Man Mine. ]

【Current temperature: -34℃】

The temperature inside the mine is higher, which gradually dispels the chill in the body.

Cao Xing saw one or two torches emitting blue flames on the wall of the mine.

"Assam, help me take down these torches."

Assam did as he was told.

[Get a magic stone torch*1]

[Magic Stone Torch: A low-energy lighting tool. One magic stone can provide lighting for up to half a year.]

(Note: You can remove the magic stone from the torch.)
