This incident left a deep psychological shadow on them...
Now that the dragon has reappeared, their wounds have been exposed even more vividly.
At the same time.
There was a sudden tremor in the fallen ice nest.
Then out of it emerged a hyena-like creature, crawling on all fours, its body covered in ice spikes.
As soon as they appeared on the snow, they lowered their heads and sniffed the snow, as if trying to catch some scent.
Then, those ice nest monsters locked onto Cao Xing’s territory, which was several hundred meters away.
“Roar! Roar!”
This group of ice nest monsters immediately rushed towards Cao Xing's territory.
Seeing this, Cao Xing gave an order: "Cao Yi, appease our new member."
"Everyone else, follow me out and destroy these ice nest monsters!"
After saying that, Cao Xing rushed out with four robots, plus Assam and others.
Boom!
Everyone ran out of the territory together.
Assam is still in the lead.
He rode the Frostwolf, leaping nimbly on the snow, and was about to rush to the group of icebrood monsters.
At this moment in the territory, the polar people and other territory members were watching the battle outside with nervous expressions.
Especially when they heard that this was the power of a dragon, they became even more worried.
After all, in their impression, the dragon is a creature that brings destruction and disaster.
It is a symbol of invincibility.
They couldn't help but wonder, with the Lord's power, could he fight against these monsters?
The older Cao Yi was comforting the tree spirits in a gentle tone, "My new family members, don't sink into despair. We should trust the lord, he will protect us."
The group of tree spirits were still kneeling on the ground, without any response to Cao Yi's words.
Leader Cao Yi continued to comfort them, "Everyone, I understand your fear and pain."
"Like you, I have lost my homeland. We once lived in Bingfeng City, which was a prosperous town."
"But then the alien army showed up and destroyed everything in the town. A large number of soldiers and civilians fell in a pool of blood."
"Although we were lucky enough to escape, we have been living a displaced life ever since."
"During our escape, we watched our loved ones and friends die without being able to do anything. We have all experienced this pain and the almost heartbreaking feeling."
Hear Cao Yi's mature and penetrating voice.
All the tree spirits gradually stopped trembling, and they looked at Cao Yi blankly.
It seemed unexpected that the elderly human in front of him had also experienced the same tragic experience.
Cao Yi still had a gentle smile on his face.
The tree spirits said in bewilderment, "Sir, after all you've been through, can you still maintain such an optimistic attitude?"
Cao Yi smiled and said, "No, I was once like you, feeling hopeless about my future."
"When we were captured by that group of crazy cultists, I even felt the evil of human nature for a moment."
"But then, we met the Lord."
"He saved us in our darkest hour."
"Not only did he rescue all of us, he also provided us with a warm shelter and plenty of food."
“Everyone lives happily here.”
“It made me realize that everything that happened before was just a test.”
"The journey towards hope is bound to be full of hardships and pain."
"Don't be afraid, it's a test from the gods."
"Perhaps the dragon disaster brought you endless suffering and made you homeless."
"But now, you have a new home and new partners."
"Here, you no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold. All you have to do is contribute your own efforts and you will have enough food."
"Trust in the Lord, believe that he can protect us."
Cao Yi's voice is like the sound of a clear spring, a voice that strikes the soul directly.
All the tree spirits gradually felt the fear in their hearts being dispelled.
They seemed to have awakened a certain hope in their hearts.
Everyone looked at the figures rushing out in front of them, their eyes filled with desire.
At this time, Cao Xing did not know about the speech given by his leader Cao Yi.
Because they are about to come into contact with the incoming Icebrood monsters.
Cao Xing also saw the attributes of the group of monsters.
[Ice Nest Monster lv6]
[Level: Level 1 normal monster]
[HP: 520/520]
【Attack power: 49~52】
[Armor: 11~15 (extra +10)]
[Skills: Ice Bite, Ice Shell]
【Talent: None】
…
For Cao Xing, this first-level ice nest monster no longer poses any threat.
Asam directly slashed out a [Frostwolf Sword Qi]
Swish!
【-537】
【-544】
【-872! 】
【-527】
The sword energy fell into the group of ice nest monsters, causing a large amount of exaggerated damage.
In an instant, at least seven or eight Ice Nest Monsters died!
Frostwolf Sword Qi is a new burst skill that Assam has learned. Its damage factor of 166% is enough to kill these level 5 and 6 ice nest monsters instantly.
This scene made the pupils of the citizens watching the battle widen!
All they knew before was that Assam and Andrew were both very powerful.
However, there is no concrete concept of this power.
Now, they know!
These monsters born from the power of the dragon can be killed by Assam with just one sword.
Da Zhuang's face flushed, he raised his hammer excitedly and shouted, "The Assamese knights are so brave!"
Other polar people also shouted: "With such powerful Assam Knights, the Lord will definitely be able to defeat them!"
Even the tree spirits nearby had shocked looks in their eyes.
Little do they know, these are just weaker versions of the Icebrood.
They only knew that it was the power of the dragon.
But under the sword energy of the knight, he was like paper and was killed with one blow.
Cao Yi continued, "Did you see that? This is our Assam Knight. He is the loyal guard of the Lord."
"Andrew and Lady Sarah both have power that is no less than his."
These tree spirits nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and they gradually believed Cao Yi's words!
At this moment, Assam had already directly killed the group of ice nest monsters.
Keep swinging your sword to kill all these ice nest monsters!
At the same time, Sarah, Andrew, and four robots also arrived.
Although there are many of these icebrood monsters.
But under the suppression of level, Andrew could basically kill them with just a slap.
Four robots hummed and sang, continuously harvesting the lives of the ice nest monsters.
Even Cao Xing kept raising his staff in the back.
Ice cones shot out one after another.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
【-85】
【-87】
【-88】
The three ice cones directly took away half of the Ice Nest Monster's life.
At the same time, the shovel robot used a shovel to directly smash the ice nest monster's skull.
【-274】
[The shovel robot killed the Ice Nest Monster Level 6, and gained experience points: 0]
[The combatant gains 30 experience points.]
These mechanical creations have no experience bars, so they cannot be upgraded by killing monsters.
You can only upgrade their accessories later to improve their performance.
Sarah also killed all the ice nest monsters easily one by one.
[Kill Ice Nest Monster lv7, gain 70 experience points]
[Kill Ice Nest Monster lv6, gain 60 experience points]
System prompts keep appearing.
It took less than two minutes from the start of the fight.
The thirty or forty ice nest monsters that appeared in the ice nest have all been killed by Assam and his team.
The newly joined tree spirits stood there in silence, looking in shock at the group of fighting figures outside the territory.
The chief of the territory raised his voice and said, "Everyone, this is the power of the lord!"
"Your Majesty, your majesty is so great!"
Other polar people, including other subjects, also shouted at the same time.
"Your Majesty, your majesty is so great!"
The tree spirits looked at each other and saw surprise and shock in each other's eyes.
Hope seemed to be rekindled in their hearts.
Even the petite Neve tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, with fiery eyes.
They completely believed what Cao Yi said.
The power of this territory is strong enough to protect their safety.
At the same time, Cao Xing suddenly saw that system prompts kept appearing.
[Territory member: Valena has been impressed by the power of your territory. His loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 81]
[Territory member: Niv has been impressed by the power of your territory. Her loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 82]
【Territory members...】
Cao Xing looked back in surprise and saw Cao Yi standing next to the tree spirit clan.
He speculated that the changes in these tree spirits might be related to Cao Yi.
After all, he has a [Primary Speech Mastery].
Cao Xing secretly said: "This Cao Yi is a talented person. Let's see if we can find a job transfer for him so that he can also have combat capabilities."
"We need to cultivate this kind of talent."
Then, he took Liu Muxue and started cleaning the battlefield.
Under the bodies of the icebrood monsters, he saw some debris and some white stones.
【Obtain Ice Crystal (Green)*1】
【Obtain glacier flake*1】
[Obtain Ice Dragon Mark*1]
…
"Hmm? What are Glacial Flakes and Ice Dragon Marks?"
Cao Xing took a look.
【Glacier flakes: special materials】
(A thin sheet of dragon power that can be used to craft equipment and items in the "Zhoma" series.)
…
[Ice Dragon Mark: Special Items]
(After collecting a certain amount, you can use it to redeem some valuable items after the new expansion is released, including the equipment drawings and props of the "Zhoma" series.)
…
After reading these two materials, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
"It seems that these two materials are related to the later expansion packs and can be used to exchange for good things."
At this time, he seemed to have thought of something, "This thing seems to be traded through the market. In that case, can I stock up a little more?"
"I can redeem it directly once the new version is updated."
Although I don't know what these [Ice Dragon Marks] can be used to redeem.
But if it's related to the dragon, it must be complicated.
Cao Xing's thoughts suddenly became active.
Of course, the other survivors are not stupid either. After seeing the introduction of the props above, they will know the preciousness of these materials.
Unless you can come up with something that makes their heart beat and that they want most.
Now, what the survivors lack most is still food and various cold-resistant clothing.
Of course, weapons and equipment were also in short supply.
Cao Xing didn't have anything that could be traded in bulk at the moment.
"Forget it, let's wait and see. Anyway, there's still a long time before the end of the day, and I'll probably have to go out and explore in the afternoon."
He shook his head and put these thoughts behind him.
Then start collecting loot.
A total of these were found on these ice nest monsters.
【Ice Crystal Stone (Green)*17】
【Glacier flakes*24】
[Ice Dragon Mark*14]
【Magic Book·Weak*3】
The harvest was not bad, after all, these were just a group of fish monsters that were less than level one.
At the same time, Cao Xing also saw that the ice nest was still beating.
Gulp! Gulp!
Like a beating heart.
Cao Xing brought the members of the territory to the front of the ice nest, and the properties of this thing immediately appeared.
[Zhoma's Power: Ice Nest lv10]
【Level: Level 1】
[Armor: 200]
[Durability: 2000/2000]
[Effect: Every once in a while, absorb the power of the dragon and hatch a first-level Ice Nest monster. There is a certain probability that an elite Ice Nest monster will appear.]
[Limit of hatching ice nest monsters: 45/500]
(If you see this type of ice nest in the wild, please destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise a large number of ice nest monsters will hatch soon.)
…
Cao Xing was stunned. It turns out that this is how this thing works.
Fortunately, there is a limit to the number of monsters that can be hatched in these ice nests.
Otherwise, if the Icebrood monsters could be hatched endlessly, a single Icebrood would be able to hatch a large number of Icebrood monsters if it existed long enough, causing disaster to the entire continent.
"Sarah, destroy this ice nest." Cao Xing gave the order directly.
Sarah followed the instruction and slashed with a shadow blade.
【-734】
Sarah's attack is very impressive. She can directly chop up this ice nest with three slashes.
And at this moment, Sarah's attack seemed to stimulate the revival of the ice nest.
Boom!
The Ice Nest shook violently.
Then a rhinoceros-like monster covered in ice armor and about three meters tall emerged from inside!
"Back off!"
Out of caution, Cao Xing quickly asked everyone to retreat.
Then, he began to check the monster's properties.
[Ice Nest Hoof lv10]
[Level: First-level elite creature]
[Health: 1340]
【Attack power: 167~172】
[Armor: 34~37 (+20)]
[Skill: Death Charge (Entering the charge state, attack power increased by 30%, movement speed increased by 50%)
Frost Stomp (Instantly raises the front hooves, causing 178% of the trample damage to the enemy and causing it to fall into a 1-2 second dizzy state)
Ice Shell (adds 20 additional armor points)]
【Talent: None】
…
This Ice Nest Hoof let out a dull bull mooing sound as it appeared.
“Moo—”
The terrifying sound shook the snow on the ground and reached the distant camp.
The polar people and tree spirits were frightened and turned pale.
They knew that this was a more terrifying creature than those ice nest monsters!
However, Cao Xing rolled his eyes.
He thought that this rhino monster was a very scary creature, but it turned out to be a first-level elite monster.
Seeing that the Ice Nest Hoof still had its mouth open, Cao Xing gave the order.
"Baymax, shut it up."
…
