Chapter 130 Metamorphosis! Druid's new form!
Cao Xing was very satisfied with Braum's attributes.

Big bald Bron also came over happily.

Cao Xing praised, "Bron, not bad."

Braum raised his shield and smiled: "With the glory of the Lord protecting me, Braum will definitely not fail."

Cao Xing nodded.

So far, the strength of his subordinates has improved significantly.

Now, all we have to do is wait for news from Andrew.

Andrew had failed once before.

I can't fail again this time, right?

After a few seconds, Andrew's aura gradually became stronger. In addition to the beast-like aura, he also had a wise temperament.

And Cao Xing also realized that he might have succeeded in breaking through!

Sure enough, the system prompt appeared immediately.

[Your territory member: Andrew has successfully advanced to a boss-level creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, and has learned a new skill: Owlbeast Form]

[Owl Beast Form: Andrew transforms into Owl Beast Form, armor increases by 20%, spirit increases by 30%, additional skills mastered include 'Starfire', 'Moonfire', and 'Astral Communication'. Owl Beast Form lasts for 120 seconds, with a cooldown of five minutes.]

...

When Cao Xing saw the system prompt, a strong sense of joy appeared in his eyes.

"A new form has appeared, and it seems to be a spell form."

Cao Xing couldn't wait to take a look at Andrew's three new skills.

[Starfire: Concentrate the power of the starry sky, smash down a star, and cause 154% magic damage to a single enemy. The cooldown time is 4 seconds.]

[Moonfire: Communicate with the power of the Moon Well, drop a ball of fire, and cause 118% magic damage to enemies within the range. Cooldown time: 5 seconds]

[Communication with the Star Realm: Communicate with the power of the Star Realm. Within 20 seconds, the casting speed is increased by 50%, and the cooldown time of 'Starfire' and 'Moonfire' is reduced by 50%. The cooldown time is 180 seconds.]

……

After reading the skill introduction, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Wow! What a powerful skill!"

Obviously, both Starfire and Moonfire are very strong.

One single attack, one group attack, and both have very short cooldown times.

In addition, [Stellar Communication] can directly reduce the CD by 50%, and the two skills can be used almost without interval.

And what is the most important thing?
The most crucial thing is the skill [Astral Communication], which will most likely be affected by Cao Xing's [Eternal Power] talent and become a permanent state.

In other words, as long as he is in the Owl Beast form, Andrew can maintain [Astral Communication] throughout the entire process!
Directly transform into a bomber!

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Good, good, Andrew's strength has also increased dramatically!"

And in this way, he can switch between melee and ranged combat, making him quite versatile.

Cao Xing checked Andrew's attributes.

[Icefield Druid: Andrew]

[Race: Druid]

[Level: Level 17 32/70000 (Second-order boss creature)]

【Detailed properties: click to view】

...

"Very good! With over 5,000 HP and over 200 armor points, he's really strong and capable of fighting!"

Cao Xing was very satisfied.

Although this battle was very difficult, the rewards were also great.

All staff have made significant improvements.

Cao Xing also became more confident about the next three temples.

At this time, Renis reported: "My Lord, the shield of the magic gate has been lifted. You can now insert the stone rune and open the gate."

Cao Xing nodded.

Then he came to the gate and placed the stone talisman into the groove.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

The sound of wheels turning was heard.

A system prompt appears.

[The gate of the Shield Temple is opening...]

Rumble!
Under the gaze of everyone.

The huge stone gate in front of me slowly rose up.

Then, a wide hall appeared in front of them.

There were blue flags on both sides of the hall, with the seal of the Kingdom of Ascalon printed on them.

There is also a human-shaped statue about five meters high in the middle, holding a huge shield in one hand in a defensive posture.

But the statue has collapsed.

In addition to these, the entire hall was littered with dusty coffins.

A quick glance showed that there were at least one or two hundred of them.

"Oh my god... so many? Are there all the undead from Ascalon here?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

But on second thought, the more coffins there were, the more burial objects he would find.

Although not every coffin contains bags of burial objects, but with so many of them, we should be able to find at least dozens of them, right?
Thinking of this, Cao Xing gradually became excited!

"Shit! I'm going to get rich now!"

Under Renis's puzzled gaze, Cao Xing rushed forward impatiently.

Then use the stone talisman to open all the seals on these coffins.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

The sound of stone slabs being pushed was constant.

After a while, all the more than one hundred coffins inside were opened.

Just as Cao Xing expected, an Ascalon undead appeared in each coffin.

More than a hundred undead gathered together, and the cold aura from them caused the temperature of the entire Shield Temple to drop sharply.

Cao Xing was shivering in his wolfskin coat.

Braum, with his upper body naked, was shivering from the cold.

The guy said with chattering teeth: "Gods, it's much colder here than my hometown..."

Cao Xing looked at the temperature above his head.

【-67℃】

Wow, it’s almost -70℃, no wonder it’s so cold!

At this moment, an undead officer whose aura looked similar to that of Lieutenant Karlhan outside was watching Cao Xing and others on the field.

Then he drew his weapon and asked cautiously, "Who are you? Why did you break into our Ascalon's underground palace and open our seal?"

"Tell us your identities, otherwise we will regard you as invaders and kill you without mercy!"

The other undead also drew their weapons and said in a cold voice: "Kill without mercy!"

Looking at this group of undead ready to attack at any time, Cao Xing was speechless.

"Rhaenys, explain it to them."

As an Ascalonian, he naturally noticed Renis.

This is also the main reason why they did not attack Cao Xing and others immediately.

Renis spoke slowly and explained to them what happened in the underground palace and their purpose.

As Renis explained, the undead gradually understood the cause and effect.

They looked at Cao Xing with strange expressions on their faces.

I originally thought it was an intruder.

Now it seems that he has come to save them.

The undead officer floated over and said, "I am the captain of the Ascalon Guard: Farah Kabo. On behalf of all the undead of Ascalon, thank you for your help!"

After saying that, the entire Shield Temple, more than a hundred undead, all bowed to Cao Xing.

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Although these undead spirits are not easy to talk to, at least they are clear about their gratitude and resentment.

Express gratitude to those who have done you a favor, and kill invaders without hesitation.

Cao Xing nodded, "Then Sarah has already told you the basic situation. We don't have much time."

"There is no time to lose. You should leave here as soon as possible and meet up with Karl Han outside."

Hearing Cao Xing's concerned tone, these Ascalon undead showed touched looks in their eyes.

Including the captain of the guard, they saluted Cao Xing again.

However, in fact, Cao Xing wanted to urge this group of undead to leave here quickly.

Otherwise, if these undead ghosts remembered that there were burial objects for them in the coffin and took them all away, he would be in great loss!
The Undead officer said in a deep voice: "Then we will leave first. My human friend, I wish you good luck!"

"May the glory of the sunken one shine upon you!"

After saying that, he led the undead army, quickly passed through the wall, and left.

A system prompt appears.

【The mission progress has been updated. 】

[Go to the four major temples, the Shield Temple mission has been completed, current progress: 1/4]

Cao Xing nodded secretly, and then said to his men: "Search and collect all the remains of the deceased."

Assam and others followed the order and began to carefully search the more than one hundred coffins and every corner of the entire temple.

Cao Xing, on the other hand, went straight to the collapsed statue.

Because he vaguely saw a white shadow next to the statue.

Looking closer, a silver-white treasure chest covered with thick dust appeared on the ruins.

Cao Xing was delighted, "Sure enough, there is a treasure chest hidden here, and it's a silver treasure chest!"

A system prompt appears.

[Found an unlocked silver treasure chest*1, do you want to open it?]

"Yes."

[Open successfully. 】

[Obtain construction blueprint of magic water storage device*1]

[Get Mercenary Light Armor (Blue)*1]

[Obtain intermediate element crystal*3]

【Get medical kit*2】

[Get 5 small resource packs]

...

"Oh? A piece of light armor?"

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.

【Mercenary Light Armor (Blue) lv10】

【Excellent quality】

[Armor: 31~37]

[Additional special effects ①: Agility +5, Constitution +5]

[Additional special effect ②: Lightly equipped (attack speed increases by 10%, and there is a 50% chance to increase attack speed by an additional 20% when attacking. The effect lasts for 60 seconds)]

[Additional Effect ③: Mercenary Code (When attacked, there is a 30% chance to reduce the damage of this attack by 20%, and increase the attack power by 5%. The effect lasts for 60 seconds)]

...

"As a blue item, its attributes are OK."

Cao Xing threw it directly to Liu Muxue, who happened to be wearing green plate armor.

Liu Muxue took it, then looked at Cao Xing and smiled sweetly.

Without saying anything more, she put the equipment on.

In an instant, her proud chest was highlighted even more.

In addition, Liu Muxue was wearing a wolfskin coat, which made her look elegant and luxurious.

At the same time, Assam and others had already searched all the coffins in the temple.

Then they handed over all the burial objects they had collected to Cao Xing.

[Obtain: Ascalon Funeral Bag*34]

[Obtained: Captain Ascalon's burial bag*3]

...

"Wuhu! More than thirty bags at once!"

Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised! "According to the calculation that one bag can yield 2 to 3 ancient brass coins, the bag I have can yield at least to ancient brass coins."

"That means I can directly exchange for two ancient treasure chests!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but become even more excited.

Then, he walked straight out of the Shield Temple with the recruited creatures.

Cao Xing ordered: "Let's go to the next location, the Holy Sword Temple."

After returning to the hall outside the Shield Temple, several passage entrances appeared in front of Cao Xing and others again.

Ji Xinyue also quickly took out the map and began to study the route to the Holy Sword Temple.

She whispered, "Boss Cao Xing, let's take the passage on the right this time."

Cao Xing nodded.

Braum, who has become an elite creature, is extremely excited at this moment. He rushes forward with his shield raised.

After the strength of all members was improved, Cao Xing felt more confident.

Soon, they entered a corridor again.

Cao Xing vaguely saw that there seemed to be several unopened coffins in front of him.

Before he could go over and open the coffin, six or seven soul-eating monsters appeared.

When they saw the humans in the passage, they rushed over immediately!

Cao Xing raised his hand and ordered, "Go, fight head-on!"

They are just a few ordinary soul-eating monsters, there is no need to use any tactics.

Bron opened his mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said in a smile: "My mother always said that one's steps should be as steady as an iceberg, and one's attacks should be as fierce as throwing an iceberg!"

"Now, Bron attacks!"

"Boom!"

The big guy raised his shield and rushed forward.

The huge impact force actually knocked the three soul-eating monsters several meters away!

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The Soul Eaters were extremely angry and waved their claws, attacking Braum frantically.

Click!Click!
After the three layers of holy shield were broken, the Soul Eater's claws fell on Braum's shield!

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

After Braum advances, his defense is improved again.

He blew his big beard at the corner of his mouth and said proudly: "Aha! Didn't expect that I have double protection!"

However, he didn't have time to be arrogant.

A Soul Eater suddenly rushed over, and the huge force knocked Braum away.

"God knows what a powerful force these Soul Eaters have!"

Seeing that Braum was about to be besieged by another five Soul Eaters, a strong sense of crisis enveloped Braum's heart.

At this moment, the big bald man shouted: "Lord, save me!"

Cao Xing was speechless.

Braum had just broken through to the elite level, making himself seem invincible.

"Hilda, save him."

"Tsk! A big bald head that looks good but is useless!"

Hilda also sneered, but she still quickly sprayed out a spider web.

"puff!"

A Soul Eater that was about to pounce on Braum was suddenly held in place by a spider web.

Cao Xing ordered: "Others come up as well."

The next moment, Assam rushed out with a sword in hand.

Andrew, on the other hand, went straight into the owl beast form.

His body gradually grew taller, from nearly two meters to two and a half meters.

At the same time, thick feathers grew all over the body, and the facial features also changed to those of birds.

Not only that, a pair of antlers nearly half a meter long grew on his head.

[Your territory member: Andrew uses the skill [Moonbeast Form], and under the influence of the talent [Eternal Power], this skill has become a permanent state.]
(Note: Status skills, after being blessed by the power of eternity, can be exited and entered at any time, with no subsequent cooldown.)
The next moment, Andrew slowly raised his hands and whispered, "The power of the starry sky,"

"Starfire."

The words fell.

In this dim underground palace, bursts of starlight suddenly appeared, and a shooting star appeared overhead.

Then, it suddenly appeared above the Soul Eater's head and then fell down suddenly.

"Oh!"

【-twenty four】

A damage number appeared, and the Soul Eater's health dropped instantly.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was delighted, "This damage is really high!"

Although Starfire is a single-target spell, its cooldown time is only 4 seconds, and can be greatly reduced by [Astral Communication].

Cao Xing shouted, "Andrew, try using the star realm to communicate."

Even the [Owlbeast Form] can be blessed by the eternal power.

Therefore, Cao Xing couldn't wait to verify whether Andrew's [Astral Communication] could be blessed by [Eternal Power].

Andrew nodded, and then chanted: "The vast and great starry sky, I pray devoutly here to build a bridge of communication with you..."

The next moment, the owl feathers on Andrew's body moved without wind.

It was as if a powerful force was bestowed upon him.

At the same time, the system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Andrew casts [Astral Communication], blessed by his talent [Eternal Power], and this skill has become permanent.]
...

Cao Xing was immediately delighted, "It really works!"

"Great, this way, Andrew can use astral communication unlimitedly!"

At this moment, Andrew also realized that his temporary channel of communication with the vast starry realm was actually blessed by a powerful force and became permanent!

He raised his hand and said with admiration: "It can even affect the mysterious star realm. The power of the Lord is really great and boundless..."

At the same time, Andrew felt endless power surging into his body, and his spellcasting speed increased dramatically.

He raised his hand, and the power of the starry sky surged, and the "Starfire Technique" suddenly struck down.

Bang!
【-twenty four】

The stars are shining, splashing a damage number.

Before the starlight disappeared, a crescent moon appeared above its head.

"Boom!"

A ball of fire fell.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

Large areas of burning damage occur.

Before these soul-eating monsters could react.

Andrew raised his hand, and another 'Starfire' fell.

"Oh!"

"Boom!"

The 'Starfire Technique' and the 'Moonfire Technique' fell almost without interval, bombarding continuously.

At this moment, the battlefield was completely covered by starlight and flames, and the health of the six soul-eaters dropped rapidly.

This battle seemed to have become Andrew's personal show.

Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised, "Too fierce!"

"This interstellar communication directly allowed Andrew to complete a qualitative change, and his output capacity is comparable to that of a leader-level creature of the same level!"

Liu Muxue and Ji Xinyue were also looking at Andrew who had transformed into an owl beast with surprise on their faces!

Moreover, not only Andrew's strength has skyrocketed, but the strength of other members has also seen a significant improvement.

"call out!"

An arrow shot out!
Renis and Sarah attacked at the same time.

【-twenty four】

【-677! 】

Their damage has been significantly improved.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

He also began to condense [Ice Arrow Rain].

At this moment, a ding sound suddenly appeared in my ear.

[This spell successfully triggers the equipment special effect: Shadow of the Snow Mountain. ]

Cao Xing was delighted, "It actually triggered the Snow Mountain Shadow special effect."

The rain of ice arrows changed from one to two, and dense ice arrows suddenly fell like a rainstorm.

Two minutes later, the battle was over.

These six soul-eating monsters once again contributed a lot of experience to everyone.

Compared with previous battles, this time can be said to be very easy.

Cao Xing also picked up all the materials that fell from their bodies.

[Get sharp claws (green) * 12]

[Get evil spirit dust (white) * 17]

[Obtain Intermediate Magic Book*2]

[Obtain Intermediate Chaos Book*1]

...

Then, Cao Xing came to the coffins again and removed the seals.

Four Ascalon Undead emerged from inside.

As soon as they came out, they looked at Cao Xing with hostility.

And Renis stepped forward and explained to them skillfully.

After hearing this, the four Ascalon undead were silent for a moment, bowed to everyone, and then left the underground palace.

[Successfully rescued 4 Ascalon Undead, the mission progress has been updated. 】

[Rescue lone Ascalon Undead, rescued number: 16]

...

"Oh? You've already rescued 16 more undead?"

"I don't know what extra rewards Karl Han will give me."

Cao Xing thought with anticipation.

Then, he found three more bags of burial objects in these coffins.

Satisfied nodded.

Cao Xing led the team and headed straight for the second temple, the Holy Sword Temple.

Along the way, we fought three more battles.

They finally reached the target area.

But when Cao Xing saw the scene of the Holy Sword Temple, his heart sank.

Because the [Advanced Magic Gate] that blocked the invasion of the Soul Eater has been breached.

A gap two or three meters wide appeared, and a large number of soul-eating monsters had already entered the temple.

Cao Xing was shocked: "Oh no! The Ascalon Undead inside have not been eaten up!"

"Then I won't be able to complete my mission!"

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered: "Let's go and take a look!"
