Chapter 120 The heart is the most powerful muscle!
Through last night's transaction, Cao Xing received six copies of the [Ice Archer Training Manual], which could be used to train six subjects into combatants.

In addition to Elisa, five more people need to be found.

Then, Cao Xing came to the group of tree spirits and turned his gaze to one of the mature-looking female tree spirits.

"Valerie."

Hearing Cao Xing calling her, the female tree spirit walked over quickly and bowed respectfully.

"My Lord, please give me your orders."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "I have five vacancies for training ice archers. See who among the tree spirits is willing to become a combatant and ask them to sign up."

Hearing this, without waiting for Valeri to speak.

One of the male tree spirits said excitedly: "My Lord! I am willing to become an ice archer. I also want to have the power to defend the territory!"

"I want to, too! I want to be an archer and protect the safety of the territory!"

"And I!"

The voices of registration rose and fell here.

Except for some weak female tree spirits, at least 80% of the tree spirits raised their hands.

Seeing this, Valeri also showed a faint smile on his face, "Lord, you see, it's better for you to choose it yourself."

"We, the tree spirits, are willing to contribute our strength to defend our territory."

Cao Xing nodded, then pointed at five people at random and said, "Very good, then the five of you follow me."

The five selected tree spirits, both men and women, all showed joy on their faces.

The other tree spirits seemed very envious.

They followed Cao Xing, crossed the territory, and stopped in front of a building that covered an area of ​​about 200 square meters, was all water blue, and had a bow and arrow carved on the wall.

This is the training camp.

Then, Cao Xing said directly: "You guys go in."

The five tree spirits and Elisa entered the barracks one after another.

Then, Cao Xing directly clicked on the training interface of the barracks.

A system prompt appears.

[Do you want to use the Ice Archer Training Manual*6 to train the territory members: Elisa, Yulian, Besk... into ice archers? ]

[Number of people training at the same time: 6/6]

[Time required for this training: 6 hours and 42 minutes...]

Cao Xing nodded "yes" directly.

at the same time.

The gate of the training camp closed instantly, and then waves of blue magic power emerged from inside.

Cao Xing nodded. "Next, we only need to wait for 7 hours and we will have 6 ice archers."

at the same time.

Da Zhuang, the polar man, and Cao Yi, the leader, came over with their men after seeing Cao Xing finished his work.

They said enthusiastically: "Lord! Please arrange today's work for us!"

Cao Xing glanced at these people, then shook his head and said, "No need. I promised you yesterday that I would let you have a day off."

"Everyone go back. Today's work will be taken over by the new members."

However, after hearing this, all the people in the area looked troubled.

Cao Yi, the chieftain, said with a worried look on his face: "Lord, why don't you not give us a holiday?"

"If you don't let us work, we won't be able to eat in peace..."

Da Zhuang also echoed: "Yes, yes, the lord goes out every day and provides us with rich food."

"If we are allowed to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor, wouldn't we be useless?"

"Polar people don't want to rest, they want to work!"

After hearing this, the other polar people also said, "That's right, Lord."

"Polar people don't want to rest!"

Cao Xing was happy. These guys refused to rest even when asked to.

And looking at the situation, it would be really boring to leave them idle.

After thinking for a while, Cao Xing said, "In this case, if you are really bored, go upgrade the city walls to mid-level ones."

Upgrading all the primary-level city walls to intermediate-level city walls is a huge project.

And the amount of materials needed is astronomical.

If Cao Xing had not collected a large amount of resources through market transactions, he would not have been able to build the intermediate city wall now.

Hearing that Cao Xing had finally given them a task, these leaders looked at each other and joy appeared on each other's faces.

"Great! Let's get to work!"

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

Da Zhuang and the leader Cao Yi both retreated with excited expressions, and then began to upgrade the city wall.

At this time, Cao Xing called over another polar man, Duan.

The polar man Duan said respectfully: "My Lord, please give me your orders."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "The group of polar people I brought back yesterday will be under your command today."

"Your mission is to build seven more primary elemental arrow towers and three primary ice arrow towers. If there is enough time, you can also lay a layer of brick and stone floor on the ground of our territory."

Duan immediately said respectfully: "No problem, respected lord."

"I will do my best to complete the task you assign."

After saying that, he immediately took more than 20 polar people to build a new arrow tower.

All of a sudden, everyone had a job and started a busy day.

Cao Xing looked at the countdown above his head.

[Due to nightfall: 10 hours and 54 minutes...]

[Weather forecast: In the afternoon, some areas of the snowy plain will experience freezing rain, please take precautions against cold and rain. ]

Cao Xing nodded and said, "It's getting late. We should go find Ji Xinyue and see if we can complete the mission."

Then, Cao Xing came to the center of the territory and shouted.

"gather!"

next moment.

Assam, Andrew, Blot and other fighters rushed over.

They all looked at Cao Xing with determined eyes, as if waiting for him to give the task for today.

The Blood Spider Queen, Xierda, arrived late, with a sleepy look on her face, as if she had not woken up yet.

After everyone had arrived, Cao Xing said, "Today, we are going to a place far away. If we encounter some problems in the territory, we won't be able to rush back immediately."

"So, we need to leave behind a few strong members to guard our territory."

Cao Xing's gaze swept over everyone and then stopped on the black smoke shaman.

"Blot, you stay."

After hearing this, Blot bowed respectfully and said, "My Lord, although Blot would rather fight with you, if it is your order, I am willing to obey."

Cao Xing nodded.

Of course, he considered letting Blot stay.

As a powerful boss-level creature and a Black Smoke Shaman, he is particularly good at defensive battles where the outnumbered are victorious.

And because his resonance totem brings bonuses to everyone, even if Blot stays, he can still gain combat experience from Cao Xing and the others.

Together with two centaurs, there are several robots and the snake-woman Ilena.

The territory's defensive capabilities are quite strong.

The others are ready to go.

However, before setting off, Cao Xing still had a recruitment scroll that he had not used.

That was Liu Muxue’s second place reward.

Although they can only recruit ordinary creatures, after being enhanced by Cao Xing's BUFF, they can also have very powerful combat power.

So, Cao Xing took out the blue scroll in his hand.

[Do you want to use the second-level creature recruitment scroll? ]

"Yes."

With Cao Xing's confirmation.

At the same time, a chilling hexagram formation appeared in front of everyone.

Waves of icy and snowy aura emerged from the hexagram formation.

Through the wind and snow, everyone saw a huge humanoid creature about two meters tall faintly emerging from inside.

Then, a rough voice sounded.

"The heart is the most powerful muscle!"

"Even in the coldest hell, I will show the world my strongest physique!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the icy atmosphere dissipated.

In front of everyone, a man with a naked upper body, exaggerated muscular body and a big bald head with two tufts of mustache appeared!
The blue tattoos on his body covered his entire body like pythons, and the lines of his terrifying muscles were clearly visible.

What’s even more exaggerated is the weapon in his hand.

It was a giant shield that was about 1.8 meters tall, aqua blue in color, and looked like a door panel.

Cao Xing was stunned. "Is this... another new special profession? It seems to be a defensive type?"

At the same time, the big bald man with his upper body naked said: "For the glory of my hometown, the Ice Shield Guard: Bron Ironwall reports to you!"

Cao Xing extended his hand and said as usual, "Welcome, Bron Iron Wall. Let us build a territory full of glory together!"

The bald Bron had a bright smile on his face. Although he was not wearing any clothes on his upper body, he seemed not to feel the cold at all.

Bron's eyes began to scan the surrounding territory buildings.

At the same time, he also noticed that the aura of his companions around him was extremely powerful, and each of them had greater strength than him.

A look of approval appeared in Bron's eyes.

"My Lord, you have a prosperous territory and a group of powerful subordinates!"

Cao Xing was immediately happy after hearing this. He was hit by Xierda yesterday, but this big bald guy he recruited today seems to be quite knowledgeable!
Cao Xing glanced at Xierda calmly, as if wanting to see her reaction.

"whispering sound!"

The proud queen made a disdainful sound and glanced away.

Cao Xing just smiled and didn't care.

Then, he looked at the attributes of the big bald Braum again.

[Ice Shield Guardian: Braum Iron Wall]

[Level: Level 11 3364/20000 (Second Order Ordinary Creature)]

[HP: 2740/2740]

[Attack power: 207~233]

[Armor: 143~155 (Shield holding state)]

[Attributes: Strength 97, Agility 84, Spirit 88, Constitution 114]

[Skill: Winter's Bite (drives the ice in the shield, causing 88% damage to the enemy hit and reducing its movement speed by 2% within 70 seconds, cooling time 20 seconds)
Leap Guard (Braum quickly leaps to a friendly unit and increases its armor by 20%, blocking the next damage. The maximum jump distance is agility*1 meters. The cooldown time is 0.2 seconds)

[Talent ①: Polar Constitution]

[Talent ②: Ice Blood (Every time you are attacked, your ice blood will be activated. After receiving 10 attacks in total, it will burst out with icy aura, freezing the enemy for 2~3 seconds)]

[Satisfaction: 73]

【Loyalty: 70】

...

When Cao Xing saw Braum's skill, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Obviously, this is a front-line shield warrior character in the team.

The second leap guard is simply a life-saving skill!

"Not bad."

Cao Xing was very satisfied with this new hero.

Although Braum is just an ordinary creature, he has already shown great potential.

And with Cao Xing here, I believe his level can be raised soon.

"Bron, you have a strong body. I believe that with your protection, our team will be much safer."

Hearing Cao Xing's praise, Bron blew his mustache and said proudly: "My Lord, you are right. I am the most powerful warrior in our hometown. With me here, no one can hurt you!"

Cao Xing also smiled, "Now, let us bless you and make you stronger!"

"Blessing?"

The bald Bron looked puzzled.

Cao Xing nodded.

At the same time, he, Liu Muxue, as well as Ilena, Blot, Xia Yanni, Tong Chuchu and others beside them, all began to cast spells.

[Ice Healing], [Ice Armor], [Frost Shield], [Blessing of Courage], [Blessing of Aurora], [Aurora Shield], [Snake Man Frenzy], [Queen's Will]...

Balls of energy and more than a dozen buffs hit Braum in succession.

Braum only felt that his whole body was suddenly filled with all kinds of terrible power!

His defense, attack power, and speed all increased dramatically!

These buffs allow Braum to instantly compete with elite monsters of the same level and defeat them!
You know, he is a shield warrior and is not good at fighting.

With Braum's current defense alone, he can even fight against boss-level creatures of the same level!
This is the horror of [Eternal Power].

It allows an ordinary creature to fight directly across two levels.

Moreover, as Cao Xing and Liu Muxue obtain more and more BUFFs in the future.

In the future, it will no longer be a dream for an ordinary creature to be enhanced by them to become a leader-level being!

By then, you will be the leader of all members!

Cao Xing even thought about the future, when he would raise an army.

They all look like ordinary imperial soldiers, but when they fight, each of them is more ferocious than the leaders.

That scene must have been very sad!

Cao Xing couldn't help but laugh a little foolishly.

At this moment, Bron interrupted his thoughts.

"Dear Lord, your power is as vast as the ocean. Braum likes this powerful feeling!"

[Your territory member: Bron Iron Wall has received a powerful power increase, and his loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 81]

Cao Xing nodded, and his loyalty increased by 11 points at once.

He once again marveled at the usefulness of the talent of Eternal Power.

Almost any arrogant being, after being recruited by him, will be amazed at this powerful talent and their loyalty will increase.

After doing all this, Cao Xing looked at Xia Yanni next to him.

"Yanni, we are going to a far place today. If you encounter any problems in the territory, remember to contact me in time."

Although, he has not yet produced the [Small Communication Device].

But Xia Yanni is also a survivor and can use the system's built-in chat function to communicate with Cao Xing remotely.

In this way, even when he is outside, Cao Xing can know the situation in the territory.

Xia Yanni held Tong Chuchu's hand, her whole body was full of moving charm, "Okay sir... I will contact you as soon as possible."

Cao Xing nodded, and then directly ordered: "Everyone, follow me!"

The team began to move towards the gate of the territory.

However, before setting off, Cao Xing saw something placed next to the gate of the territory.

It was a sled made of five pieces of wood and iron, about two meters long and one meter wide.

There are four seats on top, which can accommodate four people at the same time.

Look at the properties.

【Beginner Sledding】

[Durability: 200]

[Maximum number of passengers: 4]

"Yes, it seems that Duan has made five sleds according to my instructions."

Then, Cao Xing put these [sleds] into his backpack.

Yes, the [Sled] is a crafting item and can be put into the backpack like the minecart.

You can take it out when you need to use it, which is very convenient.

And in this way, we won't encounter the situation like yesterday where the newcomers in the team slowed down our progress.

[Get 4 primary sleds]

then.

The door opened, and everyone watched.

Including Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.

Eight figures, a mammoth and a frost wolf marched out of the territory and came to the snow outside.

Boom!dong dong!

The team began to speed up.

The bald Bron felt the surging power in his body and said excitedly: "Aha! That's great!"

"The power of this Blood Spider Lady is so strong that it greatly increases my running speed!"

Seeing the bald man's excitement, Cao Xing also smiled.

The atmosphere in the team seemed very lively.

Everyone was traveling quickly along the way. Cao Xing and Liu Muxue sat on the back of the mammoth, watching the scene around them quickly recede without any bumps at all.

More than twenty minutes later.

They had advanced about 30 kilometers.

At this moment, Sarah appeared again silently.

Since what happened last night, the dark elf assassin seems to have rediscovered her assassin's heart.

The look he gave Cao Xing no longer had the previous passion, but was filled with some other complex emotions.

"My Lord, there was a battle one kilometer ahead. It seems to be another lord."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was startled, then thought: "Other lords..."

Cao Xing instinctively didn't want to have much contact with other lords.

Besides, if they go over now, the other party might think you want to steal monsters, or have other purposes.

So, Cao Xing prepared to order a detour.

At this moment, Sarah added, "That territory is under siege by a large number of ice nest monsters, and the humans inside seem to be unable to hold on."

Hearing this, Cao Xing thought for a moment again.

Icebrood monster?
It just so happened that he needed a large number of Ice Dragon Marks to exchange for rewards. With their strength, it wouldn't take long to deal with an ice nest.

It wouldn't be a big deal to rescue these survivors at the same time.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there are no members of the Three Heroes Society in this territory.

If there was, Cao Xing would definitely not rescue them, and would even add insult to injury and destroy this territory.

So Cao Xing said, "Let's go and take a look on the way."

Boom!dong dong!

The team changed direction and sprinted forward!
