Chapter 165: Huge harvest, the Staff of Light of Dawn!
"Lord Cao Xing, I am glad to have fulfilled my mission." Duke Palatine chuckled.

Cao Xing also smiled and replied: "Sir Paladin, the power of your Ascalon Undead is truly amazing!"

Duke Paladin nodded, "Yes, the enemy's purgatory has cursed us, but also given us great power."

"But even so, we still lost the war..."

Cao Xing heard the loneliness in his tone and was about to say something to comfort him.

At this time, Duke Palatine suddenly said: "Lord Cao Xing, in our time, we had never heard of the Church of Light."

"However, the one just now said that a new seed of light has been born. I suggest you pay attention to it."

"Well, why?"

"Because there may be divine power behind this."

Cao Xing was stunned after hearing this, "The power of the gods?"

Duke Palatine nodded and said, "Yes, the Seed of God is the representative of God walking in the world."

"Back then, we in Ascalon met a spokesperson for the gods, and through the conversation between him and the gods, we obtained the ancient sword Magdel."

"If what he said is true, then it means that there may be a divine spokesperson behind the Church of Light."

Cao Xing frowned and asked, "Is this divine spokesperson very strong?"

Duke Palatine shook his head. "No, the God's spokespersons do not have that much power. Their role is only to communicate with the gods."

"However, no one knows whether the being that is talking to them is a true god or some unknown being..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also fell into deep thought.

No wonder the hunters developed so fast, it turned out that there was a divine spokesperson helping them.

However, the authenticity of this so-called spokesperson is uncertain.

Perhaps the god behind it is also some kind of evil existence.

After all, Cao Xing had a mission item with the word "Fallen Mountain God" marked on it.

He nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency the Duke."

Duke Palatine smiled, without any of the coldness of the undead.

"By the way, Lord Cao Xing, there is a hidden assassin over there. Do you need me to kill him? Or do you want to handle it yourself?"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked over.

There was a sudden movement in the grass in the distance.

At this moment, Cao Xing was surprised.

He really didn't realize that there was a hidden assassin nearby.

And the people inside seemed to realize that they had been discovered.

A masked figure quickly jumped out from the bushes!
He was just about to run away.

Duke Palatine swung out a sword and slashed across several kilometers.

"what!!"

【-twenty four】

After the scream, a horrifying damage number appeared.

Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly ordered: "Xilda, Sarah, go and control this guy."

Two leader-level beings quickly rushed over and controlled the hunter killer.

Cao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Duke Palatine with gratitude.

If he hadn't reminded them, the killer would have really slipped away right under their noses.

By then, the other party witnessed everything and reported it to the Church of Light, and Cao Xing would be exposed!
Duke Paladin nodded and said, "Lord Cao Xing, the power of space is no longer sufficient. We have to return to the underground palace."

"Although I don't know how you got here, I feel that this jungle is not simple."

"I can feel that deep in the jungle, there is a force no less powerful than mine."

"You'd better be careful."

"If you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, remember to summon us at any time."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned again, then expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for your reminder and concern, Duke."

This is the benefit of reaching intimacy.

Duke Palatine has already regarded Cao Xing as his own and even takes the initiative to worry about his safety.

After a while, the group of undead gradually dissipated.

And Cao Xing fell into deep thought.

"Isn't it as powerful as the Duke?"

"That means he must be at least a fourth-tier leader, or a legendary fifth-tier warrior, or a commander-in-chief."

"Whatever it is, it's not something I can overcome at this stage."

Thinking of this, a solemn look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes again.

As the Duke said, this forest is not simple.

Even the Church of Light sent so many people here, which shows how much they value this place.

Their goal seemed to be to kill the giant snake, and it seemed to be related to some kind of plan.

And from the name of the big snake, Cao Xing knew that it was the pet of the witch in this forest.

This shows that the legendary witch does exist...

“It’s getting more and more complicated…”

Cao Xing shook his head and put these thoughts aside.

At this moment, his attention was attracted by a pile of things that fell on the platform below!

Cao Xing saw equipment, souls, and various materials all over the ground...

These are the things that exploded after the hunters died.

Yes, although Cao Xing will not gain any experience from this group of undead killing the hunters.

However, their equipment still exploded!

Cao Xing even saw that the staff used by the white-robed priest fell to the ground.

My heart suddenly became excited.

At this moment, he forgot all about the plans of the Church of Light and the forest witch!

Cao Xing directly ordered: "Assam, take people to clean up the battlefield!"

Assam obeyed the order and quickly began to pick up the fallen spoils on the ground.

Cao Xing himself came to the side of Hilda and Sarah.

At this moment, there was still anger in the hunter killer's eyes.

There were knife wounds on his neck and chest caused by Sarah, and the wounds were festering, which was the effect of Ilena's permanent snake venom.

In addition, he was bound by a spider web, so he could not escape even if he had wings.

After seeing Cao Xing coming, the hunter still had a look of resentment in his eyes.

Through the previous experience, Cao Xing already knew that these cultists were brainwashed.

It's scary to be so stubborn!
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, this guy is in my hands. I can just take him back to the camp and interrogate him slowly.

Moreover, this guy did not commit suicide immediately after being caught, which shows that he was still afraid of death.

This gave Cao Xing an opportunity.

Take a look at the opponent's health.

[HP: 13331/36440]

Cao Xing said directly: "Sarah, give him two more slashes and chop him to the point of near death."

Sarah did just that.

Swish!Swish!
【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

Both attacks hit vital parts of the body, and the killer fell into a semi-comatose state.

After the system is updated, it will no longer be the same as before. You can be full of energy even if there is only one drop of blood left.

Instead, when their health drops to a certain level, they will become like the soldiers in the dungeon, dying, weak, and without any resistance.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

However, although this guy temporarily lost his ability to resist.

But how to control these strong men is also a problem.

After all, these guys have strong physiques and the ability to recover on their own, so the best way is to control their actions.

Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

There are thousands of tough vines in his backpack!

There are quite a few blue quality vines among them!
Just enough to control this guy.

So he took out the [Strong Vine (Blue)] from his backpack and asked Sarah to tie him up into a knot.

Their hands and feet were also tied up.

After doing all this, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"Xilda, keep an eye on him and don't let him escape."

"whispering sound!"

Hilda's face was full of disgust, and then she threw another spider web over.

at the same time.

Assam and his men also cleaned up the battlefield.

They came over and handed all the things dropped by the hunters to Cao Xing!

Looking at the pile of trophies in front of him, Cao Xing's eyes couldn't help but light up!
He put them all into his backpack in one breath, and a lot of system prompts appeared.

First, there is a wave of equipment.

[Obtain: Dawn Light Staff (Gold)]

[Obtain: Hunter High Priest Mask (Gold)]

[Obtain: Ruwa Skull Crusher (Purple)]

[Obtain: Guardian Sword (Purple)]

[Obtain: Gladiator Spear (Purple)]

[Obtain: Hunter Priest Mask (Purple) *3]

[Obtain: Boulder Hammer (Blue)*1]

[Obtain: Deadwood Longbow (Blue)*2]

[Obtain: Crystal Dagger (Blue) * 5]

[Obtain: Standard long sword, bow and arrow, sword (green) * 75]

...

Then, there was a wave of reminders of souls and other things.

[Obtain: Holy Light Priest Recruitment Scroll (Gold) * 1]

[Obtained: High Priest's Leader Soul (Gold)*1]

[Obtain: Black Robe Priest's Leader Soul*2][Obtain: Hunter Elite Killer's Soul*4]

[Obtain: Advanced Power Heart*1]

[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*2]

[Obtain: Primary Power Heart *5]

[Obtain: Arrow (white) * 372]

[Obtain: Shadow Cloak (special equipment) * 95]

[Obtain: Coins*17331]

...

"What the hell! A Holy Light Priest recruitment scroll? A leader-level soul?"

"There are two more pieces of golden equipment!"

At this moment, Cao Xing was filled with emotion!
This wave of harvest is too great!
Killed one leader, four bosses, and a large group of elite hunters and ordinary hunters.

Too many things were revealed.

Especially the high priest in white robe.

Directly contributed four golden props to Cao Xing!

Two pieces of golden equipment, two golden items!
Cao Xing couldn't wait to check the properties of the two pieces of equipment.

【Dawn Light Staff (Gold)】

【Quality: Treasure】

[Wearing requirements: Level 20 or above]

[Attack power: 375~394]

[Additional special effects ①: Spirit +30, Constitution +20]

[Additional effect ②: Blessing of Light (When launching a light magic attack, increase attack power by 20%)]

[Additional special effect ③: Redemption of Light (When activating a buff skill, an additional 20% buff effect is added)]

[Additional special effect ④: Light of Dawn (When casting a spell, there is a 30% chance that the CD time of this spell will be reset. The interval for triggering this special effect is 3 minutes)]

(Equipment Description: A staff with a strong aura of light, a weapon given to Alfonso by the Bishop of Light himself.)
...

"What a powerful attribute!"

Cao Xing was amazed.

Every special effect of this Dawnlight Staff, except the second one, can bring him great help!
Especially the third special effect, Redemption of Light.

Combined with the Blessing of the Sea from the [Holy Ring of the Kingdom], it increases the healing effect by an additional 70%.

With Cao Xing's current mental strength, plus these two pieces of golden equipment, the recovery amount of ice therapy can reach 363 per second!

Moreover, this gain is more comprehensive, even the armor of Ice Armor can be greatly enhanced.

But unfortunately, the second special effect is not suitable for me.

He is a frost mage, not a light mage.

Cao Xing looked at his level.

[Level 19 57%]

"Not bad, not bad, only the last level is left."

"I'll go back and clear another wave of ice nests tonight, and I'll be able to reach level 20."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing put it into his backpack.

Then he looked at another golden mask.

[Church of Light: High Priest Mask (Gold)]

[Attribute: Special equipment]

[Equipment attributes: All attributes increase by 15 points. ]

(Note: The high priest is already a high-ranking member of the Church of Light. Every high priest is a key focus. If you are discovered, you will be hunted down by the Kingdom Knights. Please wear it with caution.)
...

Although this thing is very powerful, it will be hunted down, so it can only be used when performing skills normally.

Then, Cao Xing continued to look at the properties of the other two golden items.

[Holy Light Priest Recruitment Scroll (Gold)]

(After use, you can recruit a powerful Holy Light Priest, whose strength is at the level of a third-order leader)
...

[High Priest's Leader Soul (Gold)]

(It can allow a Boss-level creature of level 45 or below to advance to the Leader level, with a success rate of 65%~%)

...

"It's actually a third-tier leader-level recruitment scroll. From the name, it seems to be of the Holy Light system?"

"There is another leader-level soul!"

"If this leader-level soul can successfully break through, it will be equivalent to me having two more leader-level creatures at once!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing was suddenly shocked, and then he was overjoyed that he couldn't hide!
How fierce!
I didn't expect that I could get so many things by killing the white-robed high priest.

This made Cao Xing want to kill a few more high priests of the Church of Light!

This is simply a boy delivering treasures.

Cao Xing didn't rush to use it, but continued to check other things.

Then, there are three purple weapons.

【Ruwa Skull Crusher (Purple)】

[Quality: Rare]

[Wearing requirements: Level 20 or above]

[Attack power: 312~327]

[Additional special effects ①: Strength +30, Agility -15, Hit rate -15%]

[Additional special effect ②: Primary strength increase (20% chance to increase strength by 50 points at the moment of attack.)]

[Additional special effect ③: Skull crushing (when the attack hits the enemy's head, the critical hit rate is increased by an additional 50%)]

(Equipment introduction: This axe has chopped off the heads of many poor devils - Executioner: Mauris Willy)
...

[Guardian Sword (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Wearing requirements: Level 20 or above]

[Attack power: 287~293]

[Additional special effects ①: Spirit +15, Constitution +20, Hit rate -10%]

[Additional effect ②: Guardian (in shield stance, additional 50 points of armor)]

[Additional special effect ③: Attack and defense switch (at the moment of attack, there is a 50% chance of converting 50 points of spirit into strength)]

(Equipment introduction: A powerful knight must have both absolute defense and strong offensive capabilities - Unknown Knight)
...

[Gladiator Spear (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Wearing requirements: Level 20 or above]

[Attack power: 271~285]

[Additional special effects ①: Agility +10, Strength +10, Attack speed +10%]

[Attached special effect ②: Spear Mastery (When fighting with this spear, attack speed increases by an additional 30%)]

[Additional special effect ③: Telescopic (the spear has a telescopic function and can be freely switched between 4 meters and 1 meter)]

(Equipment introduction: You said my spear can be extended and retracted. Is that cheating? No, no, no, this is the new technology of the dwarves. - Gladiator: Ekut Bergman)
...

The attributes of the three pieces of purple equipment are all good, and Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Especially the spear, its freely retractable function is quite unique.

But unfortunately, Cao Xing has no spear-type soldiers under his command.

As for some other blue and green equipment, Cao Xing was too lazy to look at them.

Then, there are the other 6 souls.

The effects are almost the same.

I took a look at the success rate.

The boss level is 50%~70%
Elite level is 55%~75%
In addition, there is 1 advanced power heart, 2 intermediate power hearts, and 4 primary power hearts!
If all these things were digested, Cao Xing's strength would increase dramatically again.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Cao Xing has exploded the Heart of Advanced Power.

Look at the properties.

[Heart of Advanced Power: It can only be exploded by some powerful creatures above level 4. ]

[Item effect: It allows survivors or territory members who have reached level 30 to advance to level 100 creatures. After advancement, all attributes will be increased by %.]

[Advanced success rate: 65%~75%]

...

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Does the High-Level Power Heart also have a chance of failure?"

"But it doesn't have much of an impact. After all, the probability of success is higher."

Put the Heart of Power into the backpack.

"Now, it's time to distribute the spoils."

Cao Xing first gave the [Guardian's Sword] and [Ruwa Skull-crushing Axe] to Liu Muxue and Putana respectively.

Then he gave another leader-level soul to Putana.

Cao Xing also gave each of the other two wild boar warriors who had not advanced an elite soul.

Then there were two intermediate power hearts, which Cao Xing gave to Blot and Renis.

The last leader-level soul is also one of the biggest gains of this time.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and gave it to Andrew.

Now Andrew is the second output in their team.

Cao Xing was looking forward to his transformation after becoming the leader.

At this point, almost all the harvest had been distributed.

Cao Xing still has one boss-level soul, two elite-level souls, and a Holy Light Priest recruitment scroll left.

At this moment, everyone looked at Cao Xing with excitement!

The other two wild boar warriors said excitedly: "Lasby! It's hard to believe that the Lord actually gave us a second chance to become stronger!"

"That's right Rabino, this is just like a dream!"

And Putana next to her was feeling a little uneasy, holding the [Ruwa Skull-crushing Axe] and [Boss-level Soul] in her hands.

She certainly knew the value of both.

Putana has been a mercenary in the Snowstorm for so many years, and all his wealth can only buy him one purple weapon.

But now, Cao Xing gave it directly to her.

Not to mention, there is an even more valuable boss-level soul.

With her carefree personality, she didn't know what to say for a moment...
