Chapter 119 The Ice Nest Monster Attacks, and the Arrow Tower Crush It!
After reading these updates, Cao Xing already had a rough idea in his mind.
"Very good, since the rewards in the exchange shop are so rich this time, there is no need to rush to exchange the silver treasure chest."
"First save up the Ice Dragon Marks and try to exchange them for a few gold treasure chests. Then use the extra Ice Dragon Marks to exchange for blueprints!"
At the same time, not only Cao Xing, but almost all the survivors saw the game update.
The chat channel was in complete chaos.
The world channel is refreshing a large amount of information every moment.
The same is true for District 174 where Cao Xing is located.
Jiang Guoxu: "Fuck! The territory protection has disappeared, and all the environments have become more real, but my territory is on the top of a mountain 9000 meters high! The wind blew my lord's hut over!"
Zhang Zhentian: "My condolences to the brothers above. I'm just as miserable. As soon as the territory protection period ended, a giant troll rushed into my territory and destroyed it crazily. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been smashed into a pulp like those polar people!"
Lou Hongyan: "Oh my god! Two ice nests have crashed near my territory! Many monsters have appeared, help!"
You En: "The one upstairs, don't just shout, tell me your coordinates and see if there are any brothers nearby who can save you."
Gao Qu: "Hahaha! The territory protection is finally over. Wang Ru, you bitch, dare to cheat on me. I will kill your whole family!"
Xiong Tianyou: "I am 176cm tall and a man. Is there any good brother in your territory willing to take me in?"
……
Seeing these people's speeches, Cao Xing suddenly realized something.
Many survivors have encountered various crises due to game changes.
They are all asking for help from others.
Cao Xing suddenly remembered that Ji Xinyue had contacted him yesterday and said that she was entangled by a group of vengeful spirits.
And asked Cao Xing to help her with a task.
Moreover, Ji Xinyue’s situation seems to be very bad.
I don't know if it has been sent after one night.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing sent a private message, "Are you still alive?"
He got straight to the point.
After a while, a voice message came.
After clicking play, a female voice with a hint of helplessness and decadence came out.
"Boss Cao Xing, are you really looking forward to my death?"
Very light, nice sound.
Cao Xing smiled and replied, "That's not the case. The main reason is that the situation you told me yesterday was too serious, so I thought you were dead today."
Ji Xinyue was silent for a moment, then replied: "I don't know what's going on..."
"Those ghosts were still wandering in the snow late at night. I thought I would die at daybreak."
"Unexpectedly, the undead left at dawn."
"Although I don't know if they will come again tonight, fortunately, I have lived for another day..."
At this point, Ji Xinyue asked tentatively: "Boss Cao Xing, can you come today?"
There was some longing in her tone.
During the days when she was haunted by this group of undead spirits, Ji Xinyue hadn't had a good night's sleep and felt like she was about to suffer a nervous breakdown.
Cao Xing thought for a moment.
To be honest, he was indeed very interested in this mission. After all, it was related to an ancient underground tomb with dusty treasures underneath.
Besides, Cao Xing has something else to do today.
That is, take advantage of the end of the novice protection period to attack Fang Long's territory.
Cao Xing thought to himself: "Fang Long must be killed. However, I heard from the two survivors that he may have traded his territory to the hunters."
"And the hunters are a huge force, and their strength should not be underestimated."
"Last time, they even sent out a third-level elite killer to kill me."
"That is to say, there may be more powerful hunters in Fanglong's territory."
Although, with Cao Xing's current strength, he is confident that he can defeat him as long as he doesn't encounter a strong man above level three.
But we are always afraid of accidents.
In Wan Fanglong's territory, there are powerful warriors above level three. If Cao Xing runs into them head-on, he would be like a mouse licking a cat's nose - courting death.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to go to Ji Xinyue to complete the task first, to see if he could improve his strength, and then find a way to expand Fangfanglong's territory.
Thinking of this, I have already made a plan for today's actions.
He replied directly: "I know, I will come to see you today."
After getting Cao Xing's reply, Ji Xinyue was overjoyed!
"That's great, thank you, Boss Cao Xing, you are the lifesaver of my whole family!"
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. We may not be able to complete the task yet."
"Let me make it clear first. If that demon is too powerful, I will just run away with my men."
After hearing Cao Xing's reply, Ji Xinyue was not angry. Instead, she said as a matter of course, "Of course. I am very grateful that Master Cao Xing came."
"If it doesn't work, I can only consider myself unlucky."
She was quite open-minded, and Cao Xing couldn't help but look up to this woman.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Xing was preparing to inspect the territory.
At this moment, two loud bangs suddenly rang in his ears.
"Boom! Boom!"
The entire territory was shaken.
Cao Xing realized that an ice nest might appear outside his territory again.
"alert!"
Following Cao Xing's warning, all the combatants in the territory rushed out of the room immediately.
They were all ready for battle.
Liu Muxue beside him said worriedly: "Axing, what happened?"
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it may be another ice nest falling down. Let's go out and take a look."
The two quickly came to the edge of the territory, then climbed up the city wall using the ladder.
The initial city wall is 40 centimeters thick, which is more than enough for a person to stand on it.
And as the city walls continue to be upgraded, this width will continue to increase.
Later on, you can even directly place various turrets, catapults and other large siege equipment.
By then, it will no longer be a territory, but a war fortress.
At the same time, it's not just Cao Xing.
Other fighters also climbed up the city wall.
Their eyes were all fixed on the snow several hundred meters away.
Two ice nests, nearly two meters high, smashed a huge pit five or six meters deep in the ground.
Then, one by one, hyena-like ice nest monsters with ice spikes on their bodies walked out.
They sniffed the snow and quickly locked onto Cao Xing's territory.
"Woo...roar!"
Waves of low growls were heard, and a dozen Ice Nest monsters rushed towards the territory like mad hounds.
At the same time, the imperial archer standing on the watchtower had a nervous look on his face and quickly pulled the bowstring.
Liu Muxue also held the shield and asked, "Axing, are we going to fight?"
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, they are just some first-level ice nest monsters. We don't need to do anything yet."
"Don't worry, they can't even get close to our territory."
After hearing this, Liu Muxue gradually felt relieved.
Sure enough, when those ice nest monsters approached the territory within about 600 meters.
In an instant, at least seven primary elemental arrow towers sensed the attack.
Then, arrows were shot from the top of the Elemental Arrow Tower.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
Seven damage numbers appear.
With the health of these ice nest monsters only over 500.
The two elemental arrow towers can instantly kill an ice nest monster with a concentrated fire.
And in Cao Xing's territory, after last night's overtime work, the number of elemental arrow towers has reached 13!
Although due to the distance setting, only half of the arrow towers can attack the ice nest monster in this direction.
But it was enough to crush it.
"Ouch!"
Waves of screams were heard.
In the first wave, three or four ice nest monsters were killed immediately.
The Elemental Arrow Tower has an attack interval of 2.5 seconds.
Considering the burst speed of these ice nest monsters, they can only sprint about 80 meters at most during this time.
In other words, if they want to get under the city wall, they have to withstand at least four or five waves of attacks from the elemental arrow towers...
Obviously, these ice nest monsters will be wiped out by the attack of the elemental arrow tower before they get close to the city wall.
Da Zhuang and others had already woken up. After feeling the violent tremor, they realized that there might be monsters outside the territory.
So, they carefully climbed up the city wall and saw the scene before them.
Da Zhuang had a look of surprise on his face and shouted, "Come and see!"
"Our territory is so powerful that those monsters can't even reach the foot of the city wall, hahahaha!"
Da Zhuang smiled happily.
Hearing his call, more and more people crowded onto the city wall and began to watch. Cao Xing did not stop them, as he was still thinking about activating a few more hidden titles with the help of these people.
They saw the same scene.
The ferocious-looking ice nest monsters with bared fangs and claws were mercilessly shot by the elemental arrow tower.
Even those powerful warriors and archers on the watchtowers don't need to take action.
For a moment, excitement appeared in the eyes of all the subjects, and morale soared!
Because what Cao Xing said was true, in his territory, there was no need to worry about safety.
Including old Mel, who joined yesterday, there was a look of relief on his face.
Just as Cao Xing promised him, give him a safe environment.
At present, this territory does have this strength.
Da Zhuang said excitedly: "Praise the great lord!"
Others also shouted at the same time: "Praise the great lord!"
Liu Muxue, who was standing by, also had a happy smile on her face, "That's great, Ah Xing!"
Cao Xing nodded.
This way, there is no need to worry about the threat of the Ice Nest.
The progress of his territory development is far ahead of other survivors.
The power of a dozen primary elemental arrow towers is enough to deal with the ice nest monsters at this stage.
And soon, he will be able to upgrade the city wall to a mid-level city wall and build more elemental arrow towers and ice arrow towers.
Both defensive and offensive capabilities will be greatly improved!
By then, let alone two ice nests.
Even if ten ice nest monsters come at the same time, Cao Xing's territory can easily deal with them.
However, the only pity is that the Elemental Arrow Tower does not give any experience for killing these monsters.
So Cao Xing directly ordered: "Kandal, Kantel."
The two centaurs immediately saluted, "Yes, Lord, please give me your orders."
Cao Xing nodded and said, "You guys will lead the newcomers who joined us yesterday, as well as Ilena, to fight outside the snow around the ice nest."
"Be careful. If you encounter any unexpected situation, take your people and run to the territory immediately."
Although, due to the increase in Cao Xing's level, the experience given by these ice nest monsters seems to be relatively small.
But what can we do about the large number?
There can be thousands of ice nest monsters in two ice nests, some of which may be elite monsters.
Killing them all will also give you a lot of experience.
It’s enough for these new recruits to level up one or two levels.
Kandar and Kantel saluted at the same time and shouted: "Follow your orders, powerful lord!"
Then they rode their horses to the new recruits they had recruited yesterday and shouted.
"New recruits, pay attention!"
Kandal's booming voice immediately lifted everyone's spirits.
The two wizard apprentices, Ellie and Sylvia, were both startled.
Kanter said without further ado, "The Lord asked me to take you out to fight. This is a chance for you to gain experience."
"No matter how the lord in front treats you, in our territory, everyone must obey the orders of the lord!"
"Since the Lord has handed you over to me, then from now on, all actions must be under my command. Do you understand?"
The imperial soldiers and archers saluted at the same time and said in unison: "Understood!"
As soldiers, they had undergone military training before entering the summoning space, and these disciplines were almost engraved in their bones.
As for the two mage apprentices, they also said something timidly.
"Understand...Understood..."
The Centaur nodded, and then said: "Now, everyone, go out with me to kill those ice nest monsters!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the city gates opened.
The two Centaurs, like generals going to war, rushed into the snow outside with a group of new recruits in high spirits.
They have to go near the ice nest, wait for the ice nest monsters to hatch, and then kill them as soon as possible.
Looking at their departing backs, Da Zhuang and others were excited.
"Axing, will those newcomers be okay?" Liu Muxue said with some concern.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "No, we have also applied various buffs to these newcomers."
"Their combat power is far stronger than creatures of the same level."
"As for their survivability, even the elite monsters are not as good as them."
Liu Muxue nodded slightly.
"Let's go, we don't need to worry about this place anymore."
After saying that, Cao Xing took Liu Muxue down the city wall.
At this time, he saw Juliet who was planting [Mutated Thorn Vine Seeds] on the edge of the city wall, and little Eve who was helping her.
Two tree spirit girls, as exquisite as figurines, wrapped in wolf skin, exude a tranquil and elegant aura.
They seemed not to be affected at all by the fighting outside.
Cao Xing walked over and asked, "Juliette, how about these vine seeds?"
Juliette and Little Eve bowed and said respectfully, "My Lord, my Lady, I wish you good health."
Then, Juliette continued, "My Lord, the seeds of this batch of vines are good. The survival rate is basically guaranteed, but it takes a day or two for the vines to grow."
"Besides, we only have more than 30 seeds. We can't cover all the city walls, so..."
Cao Xing nodded. He knew this.
"It doesn't matter. Just plant all these seeds. It would be nice to cover part of the city wall."
"I'll think of a way later to see if I can get a new batch of vine seeds and surround our entire territory."
Hearing the latter sentence, Juliette chuckled and said, "My Lord, there is no need to be so troublesome. After these vines grow out, they can produce new seeds."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned. He had never thought about this before.
Juliette continued, "However, because the mutant thorn vine is a magical plant, in order to make it produce new seeds, it needs to be injected with magic power."
"If the Lord can find some cold spirit water to water these vines, they will grow quickly and produce new seeds."
"That way, we'll soon have plenty of thorn vine seeds."
"Cold Spirit Water?"
Juliette nodded.
"Where can I find it specifically? Or in other words, is there any direction?"
Juliette thought for a moment and replied, "Cold Spirit Water is spring water with spiritual power. No matter how low the temperature is, it will not freeze."
"Generally, it appears in certain high mountains or special areas. If you see extremely low temperatures around but no frozen water, it is most likely cold spirit water."
Cao Xing nodded, "I understand. I will keep an eye out for it when I go out today."
At this point, Cao Xing seemed to remember something and continued to ask, "By the way, Juliette, I still need to find a magical plant called Moses Grass. Do you know where to find this grass?"
"Moses grass..."
Hearing this name, Juliette's shining eyes once again flashed with a thoughtful look.
Then she nodded and said, "I remember the description in the book that this kind of grass absorbs a lot of water during its growth process, and generally grows in places with abundant water sources."
"It is also light purple in appearance and tastes sweet and delicious, so it can be eaten by humans."
After listening to her description, Cao Xing had a rough impression in his mind.
"Okay, I know."
Now, there are two more things to find, namely Moses Grass and Hanling Water.
At this time, Juliette reached her white arm into her wolfskin coat, took out a small bottle and handed it to Cao Xing.
"My Lord, this is the dew of the Moon Condensing Flower. I successfully condensed three drops this morning."
Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, "The Yue Ning Flower transplant was successful?"
"Juliette, you're awesome!"
Receiving Cao Xing's praise, Juliette lowered her head shyly.
Then he whispered: "No...it's okay...this is what I should do..."
Little Niv next to her also looked at her sister with admiration.
In her eyes, her sister has always been so knowledgeable, as if she knows everything.
Cao Xing took the bottle and a system prompt appeared.
[Obtain Moon Flower Dew*3]
Look at the properties.
【Moon Flower Dew (Blue)】
[Item effect: After taking it, you can quickly recover a certain amount of mental strength. ]
Cao Xing nodded. The effect was pretty much what he expected.
Then, he directly put the three drops of floral dew into his backpack.
At this time, Elisa on the city wall had also watched the entire battle outside the territory.
I was extremely envious of the power of the primary elemental arrow tower and the strength of the two centaurs.
She jumped down from the city wall and quickly came in front of Cao Xing.
"My Lord, my Lord!"
Elisa was wearing a thick bearskin coat and gloves, and she looked like a cute little mother bear.
But her movements were extremely flexible.
Seeing her excited look, Cao Xing asked, “What’s wrong, Elisa?”
Elisa said, “Can you train me to be a fighter now?”
She seemed extremely expectant.
Cao Xing was stunned. So this is what happened.
Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I was just about to talk to you about this."
