Chapter 145: The first night of the official period, the difficulty of survival increases
Cao Xing glanced at the properties of the drawing.

[Magic Water Storage Device Drawing]

[Drawing description: A water storage device that can automatically purify water, heat and maintain a constant temperature can be built indoors]

[Materials required for construction: Small electronic component*1, iron*30, copper*20, mithril 5, primary element crystal*2]

(Note: After the construction is successful, you need to invest a primary magic crystal, which can provide energy for the water storage device for two months.)
...

Cao Xing was delighted to see the above introduction.

"Isn't this just a water heater?"

"This is great! We don't need to boil water for bathing anymore."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing decided to build one in every resident's house tomorrow.

After a while.

Liu Muxue had also finished washing up.

She tilted her head and wiped her wet hair, like a fairy emerging from the bath.

After seeing Cao Xing, Liu Muxue said softly: "Ah Xing... the water is ready, I'll go upstairs to warm the bed first, come up after you take a shower..."

"it is good."

Cao Xing nodded in agreement, and then took a nice hot bath.

...

On the second floor of the lord's cabin, the temperature is also very comfortable.

There were burning stoves on both sides, and heating pipes were constantly delivering warm air.

For most of the survivors, this was heaven!

It can be seen from the fact that Qiu Yating asked Cao Xing for warm clothes today that most of the survivors are still suffering from the cold.

After all, not everyone can be like Cao Xing, who not only upgraded the campfire to a furnace, but also built heating pipes.

Even for Fang Long, who had made good progress, his territory bonfire had only just been upgraded to level 6.

At night, most of the survivors could only huddle around the fire to sleep.

It's nice to have a quilt.

At the same time, Liu Muxue poked half of her head out of the quilt, then patted the pillow next to her and chuckled, "Axing, the quilt is warm, come in quickly."

"Ok."

Cao Xing took off his coat and got into the warm bed.

The next moment, a pair of slender and warm legs hooked towards him.

The two looked at each other, and there was some shyness and a hint of anticipation on Liu Muxue's beautiful face.

After a while, there was a slight sound from the small wooden bed again, accompanied by the charming voice of the beauty.

In the bed, Liu Muxue twisted her graceful body, making Cao Xing feel as if he was falling into the clouds.

Until an hour later.

The beauty took a quick breath.

She lay contentedly in Cao Xing's arms...

The two hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's body temperature.

Liu Muxue put her long legs on Cao Xing and rubbed him gently.

The smooth touch keeps caressing me.

Compared to Xia Yanni and Sarah, Liu Muxue has the most well-proportioned body, especially her pair of long and tight legs, which can be called a perfect work of art.

Of course, this does not mean that Xia Yanni and Sarah are not as good as Liu Muxue, it can only be said that they each have their own characteristics.

A few minutes later, Liu Muxue raised her head and said, "Axing...my parents sent me a message again today. They wanted me to give him some furs."

"But I didn't give it to them. Instead, I asked them to exchange it with us for 2000 pieces of wood or 1000 pieces of stone."

Cao Xing was delighted after hearing this, "Did they give it to you?"

Such a large amount of resources is a considerable sum for the survivors at this stage.

Liu Muxue shook her head: "No, they said they didn't have that much."

"I told them not to spoil their two younger brothers too much and let them go to work too."

Cao Xing nodded, "Sure. If they have collected so many resources, it won't be a big deal to trade them a few wolf skins."

After all, for Cao Xing, this is a profitable deal.

Liu Muxue nodded her head slightly, and a sly smile suddenly appeared under her beautiful facial features.

"By the way, Xing... have you decided which beauty's room you want to go to tonight?"

When Cao Xing heard this, his eyes widened and he coughed a few times.

"Ahem! What are you talking about, Mu Xue?"

After hearing this, Liu Muxue smiled even more brightly.

She didn't seem to care about it, and said softly: "Ah Xing... I can actually see the feelings of our subjects towards you..."

"During the day, Sarah and Renis looked at you with such passion that they almost wanted to eat you up..."

"I also know that everyone in this territory loves you and respects me..."

"So, as a lord, I can't enjoy your love alone!"

Liu Muxue clenched her little pink fist and said with a firm look.

Hearing this, Cao Xing became even more embarrassed.

He was about to explain something when he heard a knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!
Cao Xing asked in confusion: "Who?"

After a moment, a voice came from outside the door: "I... Sarah... I need to report something to the Lord..."

Cao Xing immediately looked at the person beside him awkwardly, and then said, "I'll ask her to come back tomorrow."

But Liu Muxue covered her face and chuckled, "Go ahead, go ahead, what if it's something important?"

"Remember to come back early~"

Seeing that Cao Xing was still a little embarrassed, Liu Muxue continued: "Don't worry too much, just go quickly."

After hearing this, Cao Xing sighed.

Then he got up from the bed, put on his clothes and walked out of the lord's cabin.

When Cao Xing pushed open the door, he saw the beautiful dark elf standing aside with her head lowered.

The two pointed ears stand upright, giving a delicate feeling.

"Sarah, what's wrong?"

Hearing Cao Xing's voice, Sarah raised her head and grabbed Cao Xing's wrist without saying a word.

Cao Xing noticed that Sarah's eyes became as hot as last night.

Then, she took Cao Xing's hand and went straight to her room.

The door closed with a bang.

"Sarah, what do you want to tell me?"

Cao Xing continued to ask.

Sarah didn't answer. This time, she took the initiative to take off her assassin's leather jacket.

In the light of the fire.

In an instant, a body with perfect curves appeared in front of Cao Xing.

Then, in front of Cao Xing, she took the initiative to take off her bra.

Instantly, a pair popped out.

"My Lord... Sarah wants more..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also understood Sarah's current condition.

Then he nodded and said, "Same as yesterday, Sarah?"

"Um……"

Sarah responded softly, then knelt down in front of Cao Xing.

Ten minutes later, Sarah stood up and wiped the corners of her mouth.

Cao Xing gently picked her up.

Sarah is about 1.6 meters tall and looks very petite in Cao Xing's arms.

Moreover, she was very light, Cao Xing felt that she weighed less than 90 kilograms.

On the small wooden bed.

Sarah was as enthusiastic as she had been the night before.

This perfect body continued to emit scorching heat, as if it was going to melt Cao Xing.

"My Lord... My Lord..."

"Well……"

After a long sigh, Sarah fell limply on Cao Xing.

Cao Xing did not make any other moves. He just held Sarah in his arms, gently stroking her smooth back with his right hand.

A few minutes later, Sarah seemed to have recovered some of her strength, and she said softly, "My Lord... You are so amazing. You made Sarah feel something she has never felt before."

At this moment, she no longer looked like the cold and aloof assassin she was during the day, but appeared extremely gentle.

Cao Xing smiled and said nothing.

And at this moment, Sarah's thin lips suddenly curved up.

"In fact, that woman from Ascalon also wants to find you..."

"But I want to feel the lord's love before her, so I decided to bring you here first..."

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment after hearing this. No wonder Sarah went to knock on his door so early.

At this time, Sarah leaned close to Cao Xing's ear and whispered, "But... you can go find this Ascalon woman later..."

Her pointed ears hit Cao Xing, and Sarah's breath seemed to arouse some kind of psychology.

Cao Xing glanced at her.

However, under Sarah's surprised gaze, he suddenly turned over and pressed Sarah under him.

After her initial panic, Sarah's face turned even redder.

She tilted her head and turned her long elf ears towards Cao Xing, looking so shy and lovely.

The sound of breathing could be heard again in the room.

More than an hour passed.

The dark elf beauty trembled in his arms, then her limbs tensed and her slender arms tightly grasped Cao Xing.

After a while, Sarah began to gasp, her chest heaving violently, and then she collapsed.

Cao Xing also gradually felt exhausted.

Compared to Sarah, who is a third-level leader, his physical condition as a second-level mage is still a little inferior.

Cao Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead. Sarah, with a satisfied smile on her rosy face, kissed Cao Xing on the chest.

After a few minutes, Sarah stood up from the bed and seemed to be getting dressed.

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you going out in the middle of the night?"

Sarah nodded and said, "Yes, Lord, the snowfield is just as dangerous at night, and someone needs to guard the territory."

"I'm not too confident about the abilities of the newcomers."

"So we discussed it and decided that I would be responsible for the security of the territory in the first half of the night."

"It's Renis in the second half of the night, and tomorrow it's Asam and Andrew."

After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

The three people Sarah mentioned, including herself, are all subjects with a loyalty level of over 100.

Unexpectedly, they would take the initiative to help Cao Xing guard the territory.

Maybe this is the hidden function after loyalty reaches 100.

In front of Cao Xing, Sarah wrapped her plump breasts with white cloth again, and then put on the tight leather jacket.

She held two shadow blades in her hands.

After putting on the equipment, Sarah seemed like a different person, full of sternness and solemnity.

"I'm going out."

After saying that, Sarah disappeared silently.

Cao Xing thought for a moment, stood up and put on his clothes again.

As he passed by Renis's room, Cao Xing touched his waist.

In the end, he didn't go in.

Then, he quickly went back to his lord's cottage to avoid being intercepted by some woman again!
When Cao Xing returned to the lord's cabin, Liu Muxue was looking at him with her big watery eyes and a playful smile on her lips.

"I'm back, Xing."

Cao Xing nodded, then crawled into Liu Muxue's bed.

The two fell asleep in each other's arms, without saying a word...

Later in the night.

Cao Xing faintly heard several collision sounds near the territory.

One of the collisions seemed to occur near the territory.

Boom!

The violent vibration caused the lord's cabin to shake slightly.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue opened their eyes together and listened for a moment.

After hearing no other noise, he fell asleep peacefully.

"Go to sleep, Muxue. It should be the Ice Nest again. With our territory defense capabilities, we don't need to worry about this."

Liu Muxue blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded.

The two fell asleep again.

...

However, although Cao Xing's territory could withstand the impact of the ice nest monsters, the territories of other survivors were not so lucky.

That night, many survivor lords were awakened by the vibration in the middle of the night.

When they walked out of the lord's cabin on a cold winter night, they suddenly saw dozens or even dozens of ice nest monsters rushing towards the territory.

In an instant, fear appeared in the eyes of these surviving lords.

"Alert! Alert!"

"An ice nest monster is attacking, call out all the combatants!"

"damn it!"

Bang!Bang bang!

Those ice nest monsters madly crashed into the buildings in the territory.

The battle started instantly.

This is the first night after the novice protection period ends.

The survivors have not yet adapted to the cruel pace of this world.

Even at night, I can't sleep peacefully and someone has to stay on duty.

The Icebrood's attack is as fierce as ever.

Some of the survivors, together with their subjects, managed to withstand this wave of attacks.

But there was still a part of the survivors' territory that was swallowed up by the ice nest monsters in the middle of the night.

The chat channel, which used to be relatively quiet in the middle of the night, was also flooded with a large number of messages.

Wang Shuo: "Damn it! These damn ice nest monsters didn't stop in the middle of the night. Damn, I almost got swallowed in my sleep."

Bai Mengxiu: "Are there any brothers near the coordinates 8313, 24521, 52311? Two ice nests appeared outside my territory, and many monsters appeared. I can't hold on any longer. Who can save me?"

Cai You: "This damn world is hard enough during the day, and it's still so chaotic at night. How are we going to mine resources tomorrow?"

The chat channel was filled with complaints.

Not only the chat channel in Area 174 where Cao Xing was, but also the world channel was flooded with various messages.

Lester Grace: "Fuck! I was peeing outside, and just as I took out my dick, an ice nest fell in front of me. The good news is that I blocked the attack of the ice nest monster, but the bad news is that I can no longer feel the existence of my dick!"

Sharma Mia: "What kind of a hell of a world is this? We are here to suffer. Now the Ice Nest Monster has broken through my territory. I am going to die soon. I just don't know if I can be reborn as a Brahmin after I die in this world..."

Hasegawa Issei: "Yoshi! The monsters in one ice nest are enough for me to level up to 8. If I get two more, I can directly level up to 10. My undead minions are really powerful!"

Gao Zhiying: "Brothers, hold on, these ice nests are dangers but also opportunities. They can bring us a lot of experience points. Everyone should reach level 10 as soon as possible, and it will be easy to break through to the second level!"

Wang Teng: "Hahaha! Damn Ice Nest Monsters, come all over! I'm already level 9. If I level up one more level, I can directly break through to level 1, and these Ice Nest Monsters will no longer be able to do anything to me!"

...

Everyone reacts differently to a crisis.

Some saw this as an opportunity, while others panicked.

But no matter what, they can only adapt and seize every minute and every second of development opportunities.

And these have nothing to do with Cao Xing.

Their territory has been built with high walls, arrow towers, and powerful men are on duty 24 hours a day.

The two of them slept quite soundly in the second half of the night.

The next day...

As soon as Cao Xing opened his eyes, a system prompt appeared.

[Attention all survivors: You have passed the first day of the official period. ]

[The frequency of ice nests and the level of monsters will gradually increase. ]

[When killing an elite or higher level Ice Nest monster, there is a small chance that a special item will drop: Ice Dragon Horn]

[Weather forecast: Today, there will be a cold wind in the snowy area, and the lowest temperature will reach -60℃]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What is the Ice Dragon Horn?"

At this time, Liu Muxue also glanced at the chat channel, with a worried look in her eyes, she said: "Axing, it seems that many people died last night..."

Cao Xing took a look.

[Current number of people online in zone 174: 30412/40173]

A large number of people died during the seven-day protection period for novices, and another group died on the first day of the official period.

Now the population of their district is almost falling below 30,000.

The situation in other districts is probably similar, or even worse.

Cao Xing nodded, "Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, there's no territory to protect us."

"Plus, the level of the Ice Nest monsters is still increasing. The other survivors can only seize every minute and every second to survive the threat of the Ice Nest."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue also clenched her fists.

Of course, Cao Xing’s time is not that urgent, because his progress is already far ahead of other survivors.

After a moment, he said, "Get up, Mu Xue."

"Yeah." Liu Muxue responded softly.

After a simple wash, the two of them came to the lord's cabin.

Dozens of polar people, the leader Cao Yi, and the tree spirits were all waiting respectfully.

After seeing Cao Xing, everyone bowed.

"My dear Lord, I wish you good health."

"Beautiful lady, may you remain forever beautiful."

Cao Xing nodded, then looked at the two centaurs next to him.

"Kantel, Kandar, did an ice nest fall down last night?"

The Centaur stepped forward with a clattering sound.

They nodded at the same time and said, "Dear Lord, as you can see, four ice nests did fall near our territory last night."

"We pulled those newbies out of their beds, and then, together with the powerful Lady Sarah, we killed all the icebrooders outside!"

The two centaurs had smug looks on their faces.

Ellie, Sylvia, and several imperial soldiers all had resentful expressions on their faces.

They were sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, but were awakened by a sudden vibration.

Before they could react, Kanter's loud voice began calling out from outside the door.

Then, they had no choice but to quickly get out of bed and follow Kanter and the others out to fight overnight.

Kantel walked over at this time, took out a pile of ice dragon marks and other materials, and presented them with both hands.

"My Lord, this is what we got yesterday. Please take a look."

Cao Xing nodded and put all the materials into his backpack.

[Obtain: Glacier Fragment*243]

[Obtain: Ice Dragon Mark*497]

[Obtain: Small Chaos Book *5]

[Obtain: Small Spirit Book*3]

[Obtain: Ice Crystal (Green) * 32]

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Well done, Kandar, Kantel, you've worked hard."
