Chapter 131: Connect the Four Great Temples! (6000)

"Come on, hurry up and take a look!"

Following Cao Xing's order, the team rushed over.

Outside the gate, Cao Xing saw that the Holy Sword Temple was in chaos.

A large number of soul-eating monsters were attacking the coffins frantically.

Pull out the undead inside by force, and then start the buffet mode.

The screams of the undead continued to ring out.

"Ah!! It's the damn Soul Eater!"

"Oh my god, how did these evil creatures get in? Where is the captain?"

"Your Excellency the Duke! Save us!"

"Don't bite my body! It hurts! It hurts!"

Listening to the painful cries of the undead, anger appeared in Renis's eyes.

Her hand holding the bowstring trembled slightly, and she seemed unable to restrain herself from attacking the group of soul-eating monsters.

However, without Cao Xing's order, she did not dare to act rashly.

Cao Xing, on the other hand, was quickly observing the situation on the field.

The attention of the group of soul-eating monsters was all attracted by the coffin. To them, the undead was a rare delicacy in the world.

So he didn't notice Cao Xing and others at the door.

After observing for a while, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, only a small part of the coffin was opened, and most of it was not opened."

"It seems that Ascalon's ban is still quite powerful!"

"If I can rescue the remaining undead, it should be considered that I have completed my mission, right?"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing quickly glanced at the strength of this group of soul-eating monsters.

Similar to the Soul Eaters in the Shield Temple, there are a large number of ordinary third-level monsters, as well as several third-level elites and a boss.

It's just that there is one more elite monster.

Cao Xing did not rush forward rashly, but was still prepared to use the previous tactics.

"Rhaenis, Hilda, attack the Soul Eaters and lead them to the passage."

"Sarah, choose the right time to attract the attention of those elites and leaders."

After receiving the order, Renis, who was ready to go, shot an arrow immediately.

"call out!"

【-683! 】

The arrow hit one of the soul-eaters on the back.

However, the Soul Eater and its companions were frantically gnawing at the body of an Ascalon Undead.

"Hiss!!"

After being attacked, the Soul Eater secretly glanced at Renis.

However, what surprised Cao Xing was that the soul-eater actually ignored Renis's attack and started to bite again.

Seeing this scene, Renis was so angry that her plump breasts kept heaving.

"Damn Soul Eater!"

Renis pulled the bowstring again and shot arrows continuously.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

at the same time.

As Hilda hatched a group of blood spiders, they rushed forward and exploded crazily.

Those soul-eating monsters were stained with blood poison, and the horrible burning sensation seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow.

A portion of the Soul Eaters' hatred was finally attracted to them.

Boom! Boom!

A large number of Soul Eaters rushed towards them.

Cao Xing quickly ordered, "Retreat, retreat to the passage!"

The team retreated quickly.

Then, Bron and Assam blocked the entrance to the passage.

However, what surprised Cao Xing was that only a part of the soul-eating monsters, about twenty or so, rushed over this time.

Those elites and leaders didn't come over, they were busy eating!
This also greatly reduced the pressure on Assam and Bron.

Even Sarah can follow in secret.

Swish!
【-4173! 】

At the same time, Andrew also switched to white bear form, blocking the Soul Eater's attack while attacking.

This battle did not pose any pressure to anyone.

In less than two minutes, the Soul Eaters began to fall.

[Your territory member: Asam killed the Soul Eater lv26, and gained experience points: 520]

[Combatants gain experience points: 260]

[Your territory member: Braum killed Soul Eater lv25, gaining 500 experience points]

[Combatants gain experience points: 250]

[Your...]

Kill information began to flood the screen.

Six minutes later, the battle here ended.

More than twenty soul-eating monsters were killed by them.

Although their battle was fierce, it still failed to attract other Soul Eaters.

Cao Xing laughed, "These soul-eating monsters are too serious about eating."

Of course, he couldn't delay too long, otherwise the mission would fail once all the undead inside were eaten.

He quickly gave the order: "Rhaenis, Hilda, go and bring another group over."

The two women obeyed the order, quickly walked out of the passage, and attacked the soul-eating monster in the temple.

call out! Phew!

Arrows were shot one after another.

The two women attracted more than twenty soul-eating monsters again.

This time, there were two elite soul-eating monsters following inside, and they rushed towards the crowd with great momentum.

However, with Sarah's action, she quickly led the two elite soul-eaters away.

Braun and Assam were like two door gods, keeping all the soul-eaters out.

With Andrew and Liu Muxue replacing them, they had no pressure at all.

Cao Xing said happily: "This kind of battle is so easy!"

After another seven minutes, the battle here was over.

Sarah, on her part, had already killed two elite soul-eaters alone.

The experience points gained from more than twenty Soul Eaters and two elite Soul Eaters allowed Assam to reach level 14.

At this moment, there are still the last twenty or so Soul Eaters in the temple, plus a boss and an elite.

Cao Xing still did not rush forward directly, but continued to use the Karmen tactics.

The soul-eating monster inside seemed to have discovered that the number of its companions was decreasing drastically.

"hiss!!!"

The yellow-skinned Soul Eater leader opened his mouth and roared, waking up all the Soul Eaters.

They all gave up the coffins in front of them, moved their strong hind legs, and pounced towards Cao Xing and the others!

Boom!dong dong!

The sound of dense footsteps sounded.

Seeing this scene, without Cao Xing saying anything, Sarah had already appeared silently behind the leader.

[Dagger of Obstacle] was thrown directly over.

puff!
【-twenty four】

The leader-level soul-eating monster felt pain and looked at the culprit in the corner with fierce eyes.

Then he limped towards Sarah.

Seeing that Sarah was still trying to attract the hatred of another elite Soul Eater, Cao Xing said directly: "Sarah, you just deal with this leader, and leave the rest to us."

Now, their overall strength has increased dramatically, so even adding a third-level elite will not be a problem.

After receiving Cao Xing's order, Sarah nodded and pounced directly towards the leader soul-eating monster.

At the same time, a large number of Soul Devourers, including an elite creature, rushed towards them.

"Bron, be careful, there's a big guy inside this time!" Cao Xing reminded.

Braum turned his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Lord, no one can break through Braum's defense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Soul Eater pounced over and attacked with its claws.

"hiss!"

Braum entered the [Indestructible] state, holding the shield in both hands, like an indestructible wall!

Bang!Bang bang!

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

There were bursts of loud noises, but Braum stood firm in his place, not taking a single step back!

at the same time.

Andrew entered the [Owlbeast Form] again

A ball of burning energy appeared in his palms, "Well of the Moon Goddess, grant me strength."

"Moonfire Technique!"

A ball of fire suddenly exploded.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

The damage numbers soared.

Then, Andrew began to chant the Starfire spell again.

Bang!
The starlight exploded, splashing out a damage number again.

These two skills are used alternately.

Bang!Snapped!
Starfire and Moonfire exploded one after another, and Andrew's output ability went off the charts!
In addition, Hilda's blood poison has covered all areas at the door.

All Soul Eaters infected by the attack will take 100% of Hilda's attack damage every second.

The damage numbers above their heads began to flash across the screen frantically.

five minutes later.

Before Cao Xing finished the battle, a system prompt appeared.

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed the Soul Eater Peak Breaker lv27, a third-order boss-level creature, and gained experience points: 2700]

[Combatants gain experience points: 1350]

...

Cao Xing was stunned and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Sarah ended the battle first."

But when you think about it, it's normal.

After all, Sarah is a level three leader, suppressing the opponent in terms of level.

Even though there is a level gap, her powerful BUFF is enough to crush the boss-level Soul-Eating Monster.

As Sarah resolved the battle, she quickly came to Cao Xing and joined the battle.

"Swish! Swish!"

After a few slashes, terrible damage occurred.

Three minutes later, the last elite Soul Eater fell.

A white light appeared on Renis' body, and she also reached level 16.

At this point, all the soul-eating monsters in the [Holy Sword Temple] area have been killed by them.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered: "Everyone, clean up the battlefield."

"Renisse, come with me."

After saying that, Cao Xing took Renis and went straight to the temple. He wanted to open the coffins of other Ascalon undead.

There are still some seriously injured Ascalon undead inside the temple.

They also seemed to know that it was Cao Xing and others who saved them.

In addition, with the help of Renesse, the Ascalonian undead were able to calm down their emotions, so the hostile situation that occurred before did not occur.

Cao Xing, on the other hand, quickly unsealed the coffins one by one.

A large number of Ascalon Undead came out and looked at the devastated scene in the temple and the destroyed gate with confusion on their faces.

At this time, Renis came over as usual and explained it to them.

After receiving affirmation from the injured and dead souls, these new undead souls also believed in Renis's words.

All the Ascalon undead saluted Cao Xing and others and quickly left the temple.

The system prompt has appeared.

【The mission progress has been updated. 】

[The mission to the Four Great Temples, Shield Temple, and Holy Sword Temple has been completed. Current progress: 2/4]

…Cao Xing nodded. “It’s been almost an hour since we entered the underground palace.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to complete this underground palace mission within two hours."

I glanced at the countdown above my head.

[Due to nightfall: 6 hours and 42 minutes...]

Cao Xing nodded. "The remaining time is more than enough for me to clear this underground palace, and then go and flatten Fang Long's camp."

At the same time, after cleaning up the battlefield outside, the others began to skillfully search the bags of burial objects in the coffins inside the temple.

Cao Xing himself went straight to the center of the temple, next to the statue holding the holy sword.

At the foot of the statue, Cao Xing saw a silver object.

"Sure enough, there is a silver treasure chest here too!"

Cao Xing was delighted and clicked to open it directly.

【Successfully opened the silver treasure chest.】

[Get Magic Pattern Python Water Boots (Purple)*1]

[Get the Multiple Continuous Shooting Skill Book (Blue)*1]

[Obtain medium-sized Book of Life*2]

【Get a medium resource pack*1】

[Obtain intermediate element crystal*1]

...

"Huh? Purple equipment actually appeared?"

You should know that although there is a chance of getting purple equipment in a silver treasure chest, the probability is very low, almost less than 10%.

So his luck was pretty good this time.

Then, he checked the equipment attributes.

[Magic Pattern Python Water Boots lv10 (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Armor: 5~7]

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

[Additional effect ②: Nimble Steps (increases running speed by 20%)]

[Additional special effect ③: Python's surprise attack (At the moment of attack, there is a 50% chance to increase agility by 20 points.)]

(Gear introduction: I didn't mean to steal your equipment, I mean... uh... your shoes are very beautiful - Admiral Corinda Dema.)
...

Obviously, these boots have good properties.

His running speed increased by 20%, and with [Queen's Will] and [Queen's Aura], his movement speed increased by almost 100%.

Cao Xing put it on directly.

All of a sudden, I felt a cold sensation on the soles of my feet.

"Hiss! It's a bit cold!"

Cao Xing took a breath.

These leather boots are definitely not as warm as snow boots.

But it doesn’t matter, Cao Xing can wear two pairs of shoes at the same time.

Putting snow boots over the [Magic Python Pattern Water Boots] can keep you warm while enjoying the protection of the water boots.

Of course, doing this will only give the bonus effect of one piece of equipment.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, his men also cleaned up the battlefield.

They all came to Cao Xing and handed him the things in their hands.

Cao Xing collected them all and a system prompt appeared.

[Obtain: Ascalon Undead's Funeral Bag*37]

[Obtained: Ascalon Undead Captain's Funeral Bag*2]

[Obtained: Ascalon Undead Lieutenant's Funeral Bag*1]

...

Cao Xing was delighted. "Oh? There is also the bag of burial objects of the undead lieutenant. This thing should be able to reveal more advanced items, right?"

This made him look forward to it even more.

Then, there are the items dropped by the Soul Eaters.

[Obtain: Elite Soul of Soul Eater Breeder*1]

[Obtain: Soul of the leader of the Soul Eater Peak Breaker*1]

[Obtain: Large hook (purple) *2]

[Obtain: Sharp Claw (Blue)*8]

[Obtain: Sharp Claw (Green) * 93]

[Obtain: Ghost Dust*154]

[Obtain: Intermediate Book of Life*2]

[Obtain: Medium Power Book *3]

[Obtain: Medium Chaos Book *4]

[Obtain: Medium Agility Book *2]

...

Another large wave of materials has been received.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

However, this time, the three soul-eating monster elites only exploded into a group of elite souls.

So Cao Xing called Renis over and threw the leader's soul to her.

"Renis, use it. I hope you can break through successfully."

Renis took the soul in her hand, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes.

Then, she clenched her right fist, placed it on her chest, and bowed deeply to Cao Xing.

"Thank you for your training, Lord. You have helped me find new glory!"

"Rhaenys Hawkeye, I swear to follow you forever!"

She swore solemnly, and a system prompt appeared.

[Due to your generous gift, the favorability of your territory member: Renis Hawkeye has been improved. Current loyalty: 100]

(Loyalty has reached the maximum value, and you can now give it any order.)
Cao Xing was delighted, "Very good, Renis's loyalty is also full."

"This way, I now have a fourth subordinate with a full 100 favorability rating!"

At this time, Cao Xing looked at Renis. When she bent down, she revealed the deep groove and the snow-white area under the leather armor.

I was filled with admiration in my heart.

"This woman is just like Sarah. She looks small when she's dressed, but she turns out to be so impressive."

Cao Xing coughed twice, then looked at Renis and said, "No need to be polite, use it now."

Renis nodded, and then without hesitation, she slapped the soul into her body.

Everyone was waiting silently on the side, with some anticipation in their hearts.

However, after about a minute.

The gradually rising aura from Renis suddenly stopped, as if it was stuck halfway, and then quickly dissipated.

This situation shows that Renis failed in her breakthrough this time.

She looked frustrated, then knelt on one knee in front of Cao Xing, "Lord, I failed and let you down. Please punish me!"

"No matter what the punishment is, Renis is willing to accept it!"

Looking at this heroic woman, she knelt on the ground with a look of self-blame on her face.

Cao Xing walked forward and held her shoulders.

The moment Renis felt Cao Xing's palm touch her body, her shoulders trembled.

As a fighter who has always been fighting on the front lines, Renis has never had such contact with the opposite sex.

She would even instinctively reject such contact.

However, for some reason, when Cao Xing grabbed her arm this time, she not only did not reject him, but instead felt her heart beating faster.

dong dong!dong dong!
Renis's face turned red to the back of her ears, and she could even hear her own heavy heartbeat.

At this time, Cao Xing's words brought her thoughts back.

"Rhaenys, are you listening?"

Renis suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Ah? Oh, sorry, Lord, I was distracted."

Cao Xing looked at the red-faced woman in front of him strangely, and continued to comfort her: "What I mean is, it doesn't matter if you fail to break through once."

"Anyway, we still have to go to other temples later, and we should encounter other boss-level creatures, and then we will find new souls."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you break through. Don't be discouraged."

Listening to Cao Xing's comforting words, Renis felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

For a woman like her who only knew how to deal with the bow and arrow in her hand, this was an unprecedented experience.

So much so that she couldn't help but look at Cao Xing's face, a little dazed.

Cao Xing noticed that Renis's eyes seemed to show the same look that Sarah had when she looked at him.

At this moment, Cao Xing seemed to realize something.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed twice quickly, then ordered: "Let's go, continue to the next target, the Torch Temple!"

Renis also suddenly woke up and quickly returned to her normal fighting stance.

To them, Renis's failure was just a minor episode.

The team moved on.

It took them about ten minutes to successfully reach the location of the Torch Temple.

The situation here is similar to that of the Holy Sword Temple.

[Advanced Magic Gate] has been opened, and the coffin inside has been forcibly opened by the Soul-Eating Monster.

Fortunately, Cao Xing still had dozens of coffins left that had not been opened.

Everyone followed suit.

Lure out the soul-eating monsters inside wave by wave.

It took about half an hour to kill all the monsters here.

Then, Cao Xing walked over as usual and unlocked the seals of all the coffins.

The undead inside also understood what happened in the underground palace after Renis's explanation.

After expressing their gratitude to Cao Xing, they left the Torch Temple.

The system prompt appears again.

【The mission progress has been updated. 】

[Go to the Four Great Temples, Shield Temple, Holy Sword Temple, Torch Temple, the mission has been completed, current progress: 3/4]

...

Cao Xing nodded. "Very good. We only need one more temple to complete the mission of the four major temples."

"Then, we will go to Kasha Cathedral to see how powerful the legendary demon is."

At the same time, other men also handed over various bags of spoils and burial objects to Cao Xing.

Cao Xing once again collected more than thirty bags of burial objects and the souls of two soul-eating monsters.

One of them is the [elite soul of the Soul-Eating Monster Driller], and the other is the [boss-level soul of the Soul-Eating Monster Hulk].

Cao Xing continued to give the leader-level souls to Renis, and secretly said in his heart: "I just don't believe it. With a success probability of more than 35%, plus my luck +10 attribute, how can I fail continuously?"

Renis took it solemnly and slapped it directly into her body.

The transformation from an elite to a boss takes time.

As usual, Cao Xing came to the statue in the center of the temple, and sure enough, he saw another silver treasure chest.

He just clicked on it to open.

【Successfully opened the silver treasure chest.】

[Obtain: Intermediate City Wall Construction Blueprint]

[Obtain: Guardian Great Sword (Purple) *1]

[Obtain: Ice Armor Skill Book*1]

[Obtain: Medium Resource Pack*1]

[Obtain: Intermediate Element Crystal*2]

...

"Huh? Purple equipment has appeared again. It seems that my luck value +10 is not in vain!"

Cao Xing laughed, then looked at the attributes of the Guardian Sword.

【Guardian Great Sword lv10 (Purple)】

[Quality: Rare]

[Attack power: 68~75]

[Additional special effects ①: Strength +10, Constitution +5]

[Additional Effect ②: Guard (When using the Block action, reduce the damage and knockback effect by 20%)]

[Additional special effect ③: Sweep (When swinging the greatsword, based on the strength of both parties, it will cause a knockback effect on units with lower strength than you)]

(Equipment introduction: The best defense! Is to knock all enemies away - Lieutenant Essam Callahan.)
