Chapter 171 Trading Moses Grass, the Trend of Legion Development

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Yanni, come again next time."

"Just have a good rest today."

Xia Yanni looked shy, and then asked softly, "Sir...are you still going to be busy?"

"Yes, I have some things to do."

"Uh-huh."

The sensible woman nodded.

Cao Xing put on his clothes, kissed her on the lips, and left the sewing shop.

After a while, Cao Xing walked out of the sewing shop.

On the way, he couldn't help thinking: "Next, I have to go to the market and trade the meat I hunted today with the survivors."

"Based on the quality of this batch of animal meat, we should be able to exchange it for a lot of resources."

Just as he was about to go to the market.

But I saw Elisa walking in front with a bow and arrow on her back.

When Elisa saw Cao Xing, she ran over like a little rabbit.

"Woooo! Lord, I finally found you!"

Cao Xing asked doubtfully, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Of course there is something wrong, it's a good thing!"

After Elisa finished speaking, she threw the bag on her back to the ground.

A large number of ice dragon marks and glacier fragments suddenly appeared inside.

Since they didn't have storage bags, they had no choice but to transport the materials this way.

Elisa clapped her hands and said, "My Lord, this is what we got from killing those ice nest monsters all day long."

"All the materials are here, nothing is left out!"

"I have checked it several times with my brothers, hehe!"

The little girl looked very proud, as if she was waiting for Cao Xing's praise.

Cao Xing laughed and then collected all the materials on the ground.

[Obtain: Glacier Fragment*1137]

[Obtain: Ice Dragon Mark*2031]

[Obtain: Ice Dragon Horn (Small) *1]

[Obtain: Ice Dragon Horn (Medium) *1]

There are not many Ice Dragon Marks and Glacial Shards.

Compared to last night, when we harvested more than 40,000 Ice Dragon Marks in six hours, this efficiency is really low.

But Cao Xing also knew that this was normal.

After all, there is no double explosion rate bonus, and the frequency of the ice nest's descent is not high.

What surprised him was that a new ice dragon horn appeared this time.

Look at the properties.

[Ice Dragon Horn (Medium): After using, you can actively summon the power of the dragon. In the next six hours, all ice nests within 60 kilometers of your territory will descend to the vicinity of your territory.]

...

"Has 30 kilometers been increased to 60 kilometers?"

Cao Xing was stunned.

If this thing is used, it's not as simple as doubling the number of ice nests.

The diameter has increased from 30 kilometers to 60 kilometers, and the optical area has increased nearly four times.

The population density and number of territories here have increased at least four or five times.

In other words, if Cao Xing used this thing.

In the next hour, the number of ice nests that would hit the vicinity of his territory would reach at least a hundred.

This is a pretty scary number.

At this stage, Cao Xing doesn't know the situation in other districts.

But no one in the entire 174th area should be able to withstand the impact of so many ice nests.

"But I am confident that I can handle it."

"Of course, it will be more difficult to fight."

Cao Xing nodded silently, then looked at Elisa and smiled: “Elisa, you did a good job.”

After hearing this, Elisa chuckled and looked at Cao Xing eagerly.

Cao Xing asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"

Elisa said resentfully: "My Lord, where is the reward you promised Elisa..."

"I've been looking forward to this all day!"

"You won't forget it!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned again.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have really forgotten.

When I left home in the morning, I promised Elisa that I would reward her in the evening if she behaved well.

But it was just a casual mention at the time, and the little girl really remembered it.

Of course, Cao Xing would definitely not show it.

So he smiled and said, "Don't worry, of course I haven't forgotten."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out an [Elite Soul of the Hunter Killer] from his backpack.

"What do you think this is?"

Elisa looked at the soul in Cao Xing's hand and felt the powerful aura contained in it.

"Woooo! I feel it, it seems to be something that can make Elisa even stronger!"

The natives of this world will not release [Soul] even after killing powerful creatures.

Like the treasure chest, this is also a privilege of the Chosen Lord.

Elisa asked tentatively, "Is this for me, Lord?"

Cao Xing smiled and threw the elite soul in his hand directly to her.

Elisa took it and said happily: "Thank you! Handsome Lord!"

"You really haven't forgotten Elisa."

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

(Loyalty is full, you can now issue any orders to it.)
...

Cao Xing touched his chin and looked at Elisa.

This little girl's loyalty soared to 100 within a few days of joining the territory.

Her loyalty increases the fastest.

Of course, this may also be related to the innocence of this little girl.

At this moment, after Elisa received the soul, she did not use it immediately.

Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Cao Xing with a strange look.

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Elisa chuckled and said, “Hehehe, I don’t know why, but I think the Lord is getting more and more handsome!”

Cao Xing was speechless, "Hurry up and use the breakthrough. I have something for you later."

Hearing the latter sentence, Elisa suddenly became excited.

"Long live the lord!"

She nodded excitedly, then slapped the soul directly into her body.

Cao Xing waited for a moment.

Soon, a startling chill rose from Elisa's body.

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Elisa successfully advanced to an elite creature, all attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Ice Burst]

[Ice Burst: Concentrate the power of frost and instantly shoot 4 to 6 arrows. Each arrow causes 125% damage and has a 30% chance of freezing the enemy for 1 to 3 seconds. Cooldown time: 90 seconds]

...

When Cao Xing saw the introduction of this new skill, admiration appeared in his eyes.

The attributes are okay and the damage coefficient is not weak.

If all six arrows are fully fired, even ordinary monsters of the same level can be killed instantly.

"Yes, Elisa."

After saying that, Cao Xing gave her the two blue-grade longbows and six green-grade longbows that exploded from the hunters.

Elisa held the pile of weapons with a look of surprise on her face!

"Wow! That's a lot of longbows! Lord, did you steal the blacksmith shop in Hogg Village?"

Without waiting for Cao Xing to reply, Elisa said excitedly: “Thank you, handsome lord!”

After saying that, she dropped the longbow in her hand, then suddenly rushed over and hugged Cao Xing's waist.

The fragrant breeze blew into his arms, and Cao Xing stood there in a daze.

Speaking of which, Elisa is almost 17 years old this year, according to the customs of this world.

Girls are married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

However, because Eliza was too naughty and old Mel had only this daughter, he was reluctant to let her get married.

Being hugged by this little girl who was like a little rabbit, Cao Xing felt a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Elisa had a sly smile on her face, as if her conspiracy had succeeded, and she secretly looked at Cao Xing.

Cao Xing noticed the little girl's expression and immediately realized that she did it on purpose.

Then, in Elisa's surprised eyes, Cao Xing directly reached over her legs and picked her up like a princess.

Elisa's eyes widened, as if she was surprised by Cao Xing's actions.

A hint of blush instantly appeared on her pebble-like clean face.

Before she could react, Cao Xing carried her on his shoulders again and slapped her on the buttocks several times.

"I told you not to tease me!"

Elisa was slapped so hard that she kept begging for mercy.

"Woooaa! Lord, I was wrong. Please stop hitting me!"

"My Lord, Elisa shouldn't have teased you."

"Woooooooo..."

In fact, Cao Xing's force was not strong, he just wanted to scare the little girl. As he patted her, Cao Xing found that Elisa was really light.

Of course, it's also very soft.

Cao Xing pinched it twice subconsciously.

Elisa seemed to feel Cao Xing's actions. She did not react, but her legs gradually tensed up. She stopped begging for mercy and let him do what he wanted.

The atmosphere seemed to become a little subtle.

Then Cao Xing put Elisa down.

This lively little girl, at this moment, stood there with a blushing face, hooked her fingers, and looked at the ground, as if she didn't dare to look Cao Xing in the eye.

Cao Xing coughed twice, then said, "Okay, as the captain of the archers, you will be in charge of distributing these weapons. Go over quickly."

After hearing this, Elisa's eyes suddenly lit up.

The blush on her face faded, and she said excitedly: "My Lord, you are right."

"I am their captain and I am responsible for them!"

"I'm coming, my Lord!"

Cao Xing nodded.

Elisa quickly turned around, picked up all the longbows on the ground, and hopped away like a little rabbit.

When she was about a hundred meters away from Cao Xing, Elisa stopped, turned her head and secretly glanced at him.

There was a hint of shyness and a bit of joy in her eyes.

...

Cao Xing went straight to the market.

I thought to myself, “No one should bother me this time.”

Cao Xing shook his head, then looked at the pile of animal meat in his backpack, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Very good, this time I harvested several thousand pieces of beast meat, enough for me to exchange for a large amount of resources!"

"But before the transaction, I still need to see if there are any blueprints for Moses Grass and the intermediate alchemy workshop."

He opened the search interface and entered the keyword, "Intermediate Alchemy Workshop".

After getting the search information as 0, Cao Xing did not feel any regret.

After all, this kind of intermediate blueprint is relatively rare. Considering the current strength of the survivors, it is normal that they don't have it.

Then, Cao Xing entered the keyword 'Moses grass'.

To his surprise, there were two consignment information this time.

"Great, Moses grass is finally on the market!"

Cao Xing had a look of joy on his face, and then he glanced at the consignor and the consignment conditions.

One consignment message was a survivor lord named Wang Hao.

He has 17 Moses Grasses in his hand, and needs 170 pieces of blue-grade beast meat, or 1 purple weapon, and there is no bargaining.

When Cao Xing saw this message, he knew that this guy had obviously made this bid on purpose just for him to see.

Now everyone knows that Cao Xing is purchasing Moses grass and Ice Luan flowers.

Therefore, Wang Hao opened his mouth wide and was ready to make a fortune from Cao Xing.

Cao Xing shook his head and didn't want to talk about whether this thing was worth it or not.

17 pieces of Moses grass are not enough for the Cloud Yak to chew one bite.

Then he glanced at the second consignment information.

This time it was a survivor lord named Wu Xinghu. He had a large amount of Moses grass, but he didn't say what he needed. Instead, he asked those who were interested to chat privately.

"Private chat?"

Cao Xing thought for a moment.

It is obvious that these two consignment messages are both directed at myself.

Moreover, Cao Xing was somewhat familiar with the name Wu Xinghu.

He seems to be the boss of Tiger Hall.

This Tiger Hall is considered a gang, but the behavior of its subordinates is quite acceptable. They will not bully ordinary people, and the members are relatively united.

Cao Xing has not had any conflicts with them so far.

"It seems that this Wu Xinghu wants to talk to me about something."

So Cao Xing directly clicked on the private chat.

"I'm Cao Xing. How are you going to sell the Moses grass in your hand?"

After waiting for a few minutes, the other party replied.

"Hello Cao Xing, I was delayed for a while by something just now. I'm sorry I didn't see the message."

"fine."

Cao Xing didn't care.

Wu Xinghu continued: "I don't know, how much Moses grass do you need?"

Cao Xing replied: "It's not clear at the moment, but of course the more the better."

The other party was silent for a moment, then replied.

Wu Xinghu: "In fact, we found a patch of moss grass today."

“There are a lot of them, almost tens of thousands.”

"This thing is actually not something valuable. Apart from being edible, it has no special function."

"I won't cheat you. If you want, I can pull out all the moss grass and trade it to you. Then you can name your price."

Cao Xing was stunned. There were so many!

If it was a patch of moss grass, it should be enough for 19 cloud yaks to eat for a while.

Moreover, Wu Xinghu is quite honest and has no intention of cheating Cao Xing just because of his identity.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and did not immediately offer a price. Instead, he asked, "What is your occupation?"

Wu Xinghu replied: "Polar Warrior."

Cao Xing said directly: "How about I exchange these Moses grass with you for a level 15 purple weapon?"

He just happened to have two weapons that were discarded by Liu Muxue and Assam.

They are the fighter's dagger and the ancient rapier.

The other party thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Can you let me see the properties first?"

Cao Xing directly attached the attributes of the fighter's dagger.

A moment later, Wu Xinghu's voice sounded surprised.

"The properties of this dagger are very good."

"Although I am a polar warrior and a two-handed sword is more suitable for me, I can exchange with you."

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, let's trade. Go to the trading market and modify the information."

At this time, Wu Xinghu said, "Wait a minute, Cao Xing, before that, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Cao Xing looked a little confused, thinking that the other party had suddenly changed his mind.

Then, Wu Xinghu said, "I wonder if you have ever learned about the Legion System?"

After hearing this, Cao Xing had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He naturally understood the [Legion] system.

This is a faction that can be created by a Survivor Lord.

By creating a [Legion], you can invite survivor lords from the same area to join your legion and bring their territories into your sphere of influence.

After joining the legion, lords are not allowed to fight each other.

At the same time, the corps commander has the right to allocate resources and transfer personnel.

And you can unlock some legion buildings and legion blueprints.

Such as Legion Transport Vehicle, Legion Defense Vehicle and so on.

By continuously improving your reputation and upgrading the [Legion], you will even get advanced blueprints such as Legion Teleportation Arrays and Legion Training Camps later on.

Imagine.

As the situation develops, some survivors will form legions and begin to develop their own forces.

Of course, the [Legion] cannot be created casually, certain conditions are required.

To create a [Level 1 Legion], you need a reputation value of 1000 or more, and you also need to pay 2000 iron and 5 crowns.

This condition is enough to stump 99% of the current survivor lords.

Cao Xing replied: "I have understood it. What do you mean?"

Wu Xinghu also replied: "To be honest, I have already established a legion this morning, called Binghu."

"Currently, our Level 1 Legion can allow 50 survivors' territories to join, and I have almost recruited all the other brothers."

"The Legion function is really convenient. When the survivor lords of the same faction rush to other territories, they will get a 20% speed bonus."

"Currently, there are still two deputy corps commander positions vacant."

"If Master Cao Xing is willing to join our army, I can directly make you the deputy commander."

At this time, Cao Xing finally understood Wu Xinghu's plan.

It turns out that he wanted to pull me into his army.

Cao Xing smiled and replied, "Forget about the legion. I don't have that idea at the moment."

After hearing this, Wu Xinghu did not force it.

Said: "Okay then, Boss Cao Xing, when you have an idea, you can contact me."

"Or if you ever want to form your own legion, you can contact me."

"Maybe Boss Cao Xing doesn't know that now in the world channel, many regions have already established legions, and they seem to be developing well."

"According to the development progress of this world, survival becomes increasingly difficult in the future. Some weak survivor territories can only be forced to join the legion to keep each other warm."

"This is a major trend. In the later stages, I estimate that there will be one or two giant armies in each region."

"They control the resources, population, and combat power of a large region."

"In a short period of time, we will be able to compete with those indigenous forces."

Cao Xing nodded.

I have to say that Wu Xinghu's analysis makes a lot of sense.

It is a general trend for survivors to stick together for warmth.

There is strength in numbers and that is not just empty talk.

With various transport vehicles, traveling between survivors' territories will no longer be so difficult.
