…
"Oh my god... Such powerful attributes, as expected of a level 5 creature!"
Cao Xing was surprised.
And the most important thing is that Cao Xing saw Ilena’s two skills: [Snakeman Frenzy] and [Scale Armor]!
These two skills are actually amplification BUFF skills.
Combined with their SSS-level talents, it is equivalent to permanently increasing their armor by 10 points!
(For ease of calculation, 1 point of armor offsets 1 point of attack power).
For ordinary creatures like polar people, 1 point of strength is roughly equivalent to 2 points of physical attack.
(Depending on the profession and racial talent, the attack power added by strength is also different. The bonus of 1 point of strength ranges from 1.5 attack power to 3 physical attacks.)
In other words, except for Da Zhuang, the attacks of the other polar men could hardly cause effective damage to Cao Xing.
From this, we can see how terrifying the improvement this skill brings in the early stages is.
The other skill, [Snakeman Frenzy], increases the movement speed and attack speed by 20%, which is an even more terrifying percentage-enhancing skill.
At this moment, Cao Xing felt like he had really struck gold!
Restraining his excitement, Cao Xing said, "Ilena, use your snake-man frenzy skill on us first."
In this world, he must of course seize every bit of power he can get to improve himself.
Ilena spit out her scarlet tongue and said, "With pleasure, my lord~"
After she finished speaking, Ilena raised her spear, and a ball of red power gathered on her spear.
Then she pointed her spear and a ball of energy fell on Cao Xing.
In an instant, Cao Xing only felt a surge of hot energy in his body, which greatly increased his attack speed and movement speed.
[Successfully cast [Snake Man Frenzy], the talent [Eternal Power] has taken effect, and this skill has become permanent...]
Seeing this prompt, Cao Xing clenched his fists excitedly.
It really works!
At the same time, Ilena raised her spear again, and a ball of white energy fell on her body.
Cao Xing only felt that there was an invisible layer of scales on his body.
[I have successfully cast [Scale Armor], and my talent [Eternal Power] has taken effect. This skill has become permanent...]
This layer of scales is very hard and smooth.
Moreover, it only appears when being attacked.
In other words, under normal circumstances, Cao Xing is no different from a normal person.
Cao Xing said excitedly: "Great, great, this way, my defense power will increase dramatically!"
After waiting for the skill cooldown time to end, Cao Xing asked Ilena to add two statuses to himself and Liu Muxue respectively.
After the talent starts prompting sound.
Ilena also discovered that the power in her body would not disappear as before, but would remain permanently.
She was a little confused, and then when Cao Xing cast a permanent [Ice Therapy] on her, Ilena understood the reason.
"My Lord, your power is truly immense. It will remain in my body forever."
Cao Xing looked a little strange.
Why do I feel that this sentence is weird...
Shaking his head, Cao Xing began to think about other issues.
This berserk skill can increase speed by 20%.
In other words, if we can add it to the four polar men, we can increase their work efficiency.
So, Cao Xing asked: "Yilena, can you continue to release skills?"
Ilena shook her head gently, "My Lord, these skills consume my mental energy. I need some time to recover."
Cao Xing nodded.
Then he looked at the four polar men who were working in the distance.
At this time, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were trotting over, each carrying a bundle of processed wood.
San Zhuang and Si Zhuang were holding a few stones.
The image of four dwarfs running in the snow with their legs spread out always feels somewhat funny.
Then, they put the materials near the campfire, and they disappeared automatically, and system prompts appeared one after another.
[Wood +5]
[Wood +5]
[Stone +3]
[Stone +3]
…
Cao Xing calculated that it would take the four of them about ten minutes to go back and forth.
It's still an hour and a half before dark.
That is to say, before dark, Cao Xing could collect a maximum of 90 pieces of wood and 54 pieces of stone.
"I need more labor now, but I can only build one polar hut."
"If you want to recruit more polaris, you can only upgrade the polaris hut."
"A level 2 polar bear hut can recruit four more polar bears, greatly increasing work efficiency."
"But at the same time, these polar people will consume more food and take up more of my population limit."
Cao Xing glanced at his own population.
[Population: 8/50]
(The maximum population limit for a level 1 territory is 50, which can be increased by upgrading the lord's hut.)
At this moment, San Zhuang stretched out his legs and ran to Cao Xing and said.
"My Lord, I have something to report to you!"
Cao Xing looked at San Zhuang, "What's the matter?"
San Zhuang replied, "While Si Zhuang and I were collecting rocks, we discovered a small coal mine about three or four hundred meters to the right in front of us."
"However, there seemed to be two snow wolves guarding there, so we didn't dare to get close."
"I'm worried that the snow wolves will pose a threat to our camp, so I came to report to the lord!"
When Cao Xing heard the word "coal mine", his eyes lit up instantly.
You know, coal is a more advanced energy material than wood. Not only does it burn longer, it also emits more heat.
If he could seize the coal mine, he could save a lot of wood to build other facilities.
Cao Xing quickly asked, "What is the strength of those snow wolves? Do you know how many there are?"
San Zhuang nodded, "We have been observing for a while and have only seen two snow wolves so far."
"These snow wolves seem to be stronger than that poisonous snake."
After hearing this, Cao Xing's smile deepened.
According to San Zhuang, the two snow wolves are slightly stronger than the snow vipers, which means they are probably level three or four monsters.
Before summoning Ilena, Cao Xing was not sure if he could deal with them.
But now, we can find a way to occupy the coal mine first.
So, Cao Xing nodded and said, "San Zhuang, you did a good job!"
"I will give you and Si Zhuang a piece of snake meat as a reward tonight!"
When he heard that there would be snake meat to eat in the evening, stars almost popped out of Sanzhuang's eyes.
He nodded excitedly and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Lord. San Zhuang will do his best to contribute to you!"
After saying that, San Zhuang continued to move forward with his short legs and began to collect stones.
Liu Muxue also heard the conversation between the two and asked nervously, "Ah Xing, are we going to fight?"
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, the coal mine is an important resource point. The sooner we take it down, the better."
Liu Muxue showed some fear in her eyes, but she still mustered up the courage and said, "I will fight with you."
Cao Xing did not refuse.
Although the snow wolf is powerful, Liu Muxue has been blessed with three permanent BUFFs.
Both the defense and recovery capabilities have been greatly improved. With the help of level 5 Ilena, it should not be a problem to deal with two snow wolves.
However, before the battle, he can also use some props to increase his fighting power.
Cao Xing took out a purple poison sac from his backpack.
[Snow Viper Venom Sac (Green)]
[Effect: Apply it on a weapon to add the "Level 1 Poison" status to the next 15 attacks.]
【Number of uses remaining: 10.】
Cao Xing smeared venom on Ilena's trident and Liu Muxue's ordinary stone axe.
Their weapons were emitting a faint purple light.
After completing these preparations, Cao Xing nodded and said, "Then, let's set off now."
After saying this, he picked up his white wooden stick and walked towards the snow.
Ilena walked in front, holding a trident.
The snake-like body twisted on the snow, leaving a clear mark.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue followed behind her.
Sand… Sand…
The farther we got from the campfire, the thicker the snow became, almost reaching above our ankles.
The chill came in waves.
It took them about four minutes to arrive at the place San Zhuang mentioned.
There, there was indeed a pitch-black mine, and next to the mine, there was a pile of mined coal.
[Small Coal Mine: Special Resource Point]
[Number of remaining mineable resources: coal*1754, stone*754, soil*5360]
[Current status: Unoccupiable]
