Chapter 179 opens the exclusive golden treasure chest and obtains the Ice Dragon Suit!

Isabel smiled and said softly, "The confession was successful, Lord, you have 30 seconds."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, "Well done, Isabel."

Isabel smiled faintly.

Cao Xing didn't waste any time. He squatted on the ground and looked at the hunter scout. Then he asked, "Who asked you to come here?"

At this moment, the hunter scout who was controlled by the [Confession] gradually raised his head.

He said in a daze: "Yes...it's High Priest Montra..."

Cao Xing frowned.

Another high priest?
He continued to ask: "Why did the high priest allow you to come near my territory?"

The other party replied again.

"The high priest said... the base of the Nadav priest was destroyed by a lord from another world... "

"He... asked us... to find the... location of this lord of another world..."

At this moment, a look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

I was not exposed in the Witch Forest.

But when he was dealing with Fang Long, he was discovered by some hunters, which made them aware of his threat.

But fortunately, his position was not exposed.

Another hunter scout nearby became anxious when he saw that he actually said these things out loud.

"Pierce, what are you doing? Wake up!"

"The God of Light will punish you for your actions!"

Hearing the God of Light, the hunter who was controlled by [Confession] seemed to struggle.

However, Cao Xing glanced at him and said, “Labu, tell him to shut up.”

After hearing this, Lab, who was standing next to him, hit the hunter on the head with the handle of his knife without hesitation.

Bang!
【-twenty four】

Then the hunter scout fell into a coma.

The controlled hunter also returned to a state of repentance.

Cao Xing continued to ask: "Is the high priest preparing to deal with me?"

The other party continued to reply: "High Priest... we don't know your specific... strength yet... let us... investigate first..."

After hearing this, joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes again.

He continued to inquire: "Besides the high priest, is there anyone else who knows about this, or has he reported this to higher authorities?"

The hunter scout shook his head and said, "The high priest said... these lords from other worlds are very weak... there is no need to report them..."

"Currently... only a small number of people in our camp know..."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed even more joy.

Because all this at least shows that Cao Xing has not yet attracted the attention of important people in the Church of Light.

You know, in addition to the high priest, the organization of the Church of Light also has stronger bishops and archbishops.

The high priest is already the lowest level of leader. I really don’t know how powerful these bishops and archbishops are.

However, as long as the news has not been known to these senior officials, Cao Xing still has room for maneuver.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing asked directly.

"Tell me the location of your base."

After hearing this question, the hunter scout seemed to struggle.

At this time, Isabel said: "The time for confession is almost over, Lord."

Cao Xing nodded and continued, "Tell me the location of the camp. As long as you tell me the location, you can atone for your sins."

After hearing the latter sentence, the hunter scout finally struggled and said, "I...I want to pay for my sins..."

Cao Xing listened and persuaded him, "That's right, think about how many people you have hurt. Every action of yours has left many innocent people homeless. These are all numerous sins."

"Tell me where the camp is and you can put an end to this."

After listening to Cao Xing's words, the hunter scout said.

"In...deep in the Great Rift Valley..."

After saying this, the hunter scout was released from the state of repentance.

Then he quickly covered his mouth and looked at Isabel with horror.

But a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Although he only said one keyword: Great Rift Valley.

But Cao Xing already roughly knew the location of the enemy's stronghold.

Great Rift Valley...How many great rift valleys can there be nearby?
The only one was the place where he had rescued Dabai before.

At that time, he did find a larger sun symbol on that map.

Unexpectedly, there was a high priest’s base here.

Cao Xing looked at Isabel next to him, "Can you still perform the Confession Spell?"

He still had several questions to ask, such as the strength of the high priest and how many powerful people there were in that camp.

Isabel raised her staff, and after waiting for a few minutes, she tried it again on the hunter scout.

As a result, the opponent seemed to have developed antibodies, and this time the [Confession] had no effect on him.

No one, including the unconscious hunter scout, succeeded in performing the trick.

Isabel shook her head and said, "No, they have already prepared themselves mentally. It seems that this cult's training includes techniques for mind control."

Cao Xing nodded. "No, forget it. Anyway, I already know the general situation."

He looked at the two wild boar warriors and said, "Keep watching them."

Rab straightened his body and replied seriously: "As you command, Lord!"

Then Cao Xing looked at the Holy Light Priest next to him.

"Isabel, come with me to see the other cultist."

She nodded slightly, and then left with Cao Xing.

In another basement, Cao Xing saw that although the hunter killer was covered with scars, he still looked very powerful.

There was even a hint of ferocity in the look he gave Cao Xing.

Cao Xing didn't care. After all, this was a fourth-level hunter killer, and his physique was much stronger than those two third-level scouts.

Isabel shook her head and said, "He is still in good condition now, so the confession can't be successful."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, then continue to interrogate him for two days and then use the confession technique on him."

After saying that, he left the basement with Isabel.

...

After returning to the lord's cabin, Cao Xing felt much more at ease.

At the same time, they also began to think about how to deal with the threat posed by these hunters.

Although, his current location has not been exposed.

But he had already attracted the attention of a high priest.

Obviously, the best approach now is to directly raid the hunter's base.

Before the news spreads, kill all the cultists of the Church of Light there.

But the prerequisite for doing so is that he needs to be strong enough.

According to the information on the map, that place was a large camp of hunters with at least one high priest at the chief level.

If the strength of this high priest is too strong, or there is some hidden master inside.

Cao Xing now rushed over, which was like turning on a light in the toilet - looking for shit.

Therefore, before the raid, he needed to determine the strength of that camp.

So Cao Xing called Sarah over again and explained the situation to her.

This kind of reconnaissance mission is most suitable for her.

After listening to this, Sarah didn't say much, but nodded lightly.

Before leaving, Cao Xing said, "Sarah, be careful."

After hearing this, the dark elf turned around and a smile appeared on his thin lips.

She whispered, "Wait until I come back."

Then, he disappeared from the spot.

After Sarah left, Cao Xing thought to himself, "Very good, now I just have to wait for Sarah to come back and then think about how to deal with it."

"Whether to flatten this camp directly or pretend to be ignorant and continue to develop quietly depends on the strength of this camp."

"I will also try my best to improve my strength during this period of time."

So Cao Xing walked out of the lord's hut and went straight to the [Blacksmith Shop].

At this time, Harold was still working hard on the forging.

After seeing Cao Xing coming in, Harold said respectfully: "Wise Lord, you are here."

Cao Xing nodded, and then asked: "Harold, how many of our catapult hooks have been built?"

Harold replied: "Your Excellency, we have manufactured 127 green-quality grappling hooks and 11 blue-quality grappling hooks."

"However, the large hook-claw sickle has not yet been created."

Cao Xing showed a happy expression on his face. "It's okay. Don't worry about the sickle yet. Give me these hooks first!"

"Okay, Lord, please follow me."

After saying that, Harold took Cao Xing to a storage box.

Inside, Cao Xing saw more than a hundred cylindrical devices.

Look at the properties.

[Ejection Hook (Green): Special Equipment]

[Equipment Effect: After pressing the switch, a sharp claw will be ejected instantly, hooking onto a building or the body of the prey, causing 644 points of damage to it. ]

[Maximum ejection distance: 60 meters]

...

[Ejection Hook (Blue): Special Equipment]

[Equipment effect: Same as above, and causes 1233 points of damage to the prey. ]

[Maximum ejection distance: 90 meters]

...

"Not bad, not bad, the catapulting distance is actually several dozen meters!" Cao Xing praised: "Harold, your craftsmanship is amazing!"

The dwarf blacksmith touched his head and said embarrassedly: "My Lord, you are too kind."

"I just put 100% of my passion into every piece of equipment."

Cao Xing laughed, "Very good, keep up the good work, Harold."

"Strive to break through to the advanced blacksmith as soon as possible."

Harold's expression straightened up, "As you command! Lord!"

After taking the catapult hook, Cao Xing left the blacksmith shop.

Then, Cao Xing waited for news from Sarah in the territory while leveling up the ice nest monsters.

Yesterday's battle had already increased his experience bar by a lot.

I looked at my level.

[Level 20 95%]

"Almost there. I only need a few thousand experience points to reach level 21."

Sure enough, not long after, a white light rose from Cao Xing's body.

At the same time, the system prompt appears.
[Your level has been upgraded, current level: Level 21]

[Attributes improved during this upgrade: Strength +6, Agility +7, Spirit +11, Constitution +8, Health +500]

...

"Huh? After level 3, each upgrade also adds health points?"

Cao Xing's eyes suddenly showed enlightenment. "I was wondering why the health points of those third-level creatures were higher than each other. So this is the case..."

"Great, this way, each upgrade will give you a bigger improvement!"

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, he seemed to remember something.

"By the way, I traded hundreds of thousands of Ice Dragon Marks the night before yesterday. These Ice Dragon Marks can also be used to improve my strength!"

He glanced at his reserve of Ice Dragon Mark.

[Ice Dragon Mark*181371]

【Glacier Fragment*98281】

...

The night before yesterday, his Ice Dragon Mark was worth 26. He spent more than 18 to exchange it for the Heart of Strength, and now he has left.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Not bad, enough for me to exchange for a gold treasure chest."

So, he opened the [Dragon Shop] and found the treasure chest redemption interface.

A system prompt appears.

[Do you want to consume Ice Dragon Mark*10 to exchange for 1 gold treasure chests with cold light reflection, remaining number of exchanges: 3]

(Note: This series of treasure chests are from the Ice Dragon 'Zhuo Ma' expansion pack, and can reveal some exclusive items.)
...

To be honest, Cao Xing has been looking forward to the golden treasure chest in the Dragon Shop for a long time!

Now, you can finally redeem the first one!
So, he just clicked 'Yes'.

[Exchange successful, Ice Dragon Mark -100000. ]

The next moment, a magic circle spewing cold air appeared in front of him.

As the light burst out, a treasure chest with a cold glow and light golden luster appeared in front of Cao Xing.

There is also a lifelike dragon with closed eyes carved on this treasure chest!

It has wings on its back, and its body is covered with icicles. Its huge dragon claws seem to be able to tear apart everything.
Even though the dragon had its eyes closed, it still gave people a strong sense of oppression!
A system prompt appears.

[A golden treasure chest with cold light is found. Do you want to open it? ]

"Yes."

[Open successfully. 】

[Obtain: Ice Dragon Crown (Gold)]

[Obtain: Dragon Blood Fighter Recruitment Scroll (Purple) *2]

[Obtain: Large Anti-Corruption Potion (Purple) * 3]

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

[Obtain: Longyan Ore (Gold)*3]

...

"Oh my god...Except for the Ice Dragon Horn, all of these are new materials that have never been mined before."

Cao Xing was shocked!
"No wonder the system said it was a treasure chest exclusive to the 'Zhuo Ma' series. The contents inside are indeed different from other treasure chests."

With anticipation, Cao Xing began to check the properties of these new materials.

First of all, of course, it’s the golden equipment!
A crown that looks like it was made of ice crystals.

It is transparent throughout, with a gorgeous luster sparkling on the top, and feels cool to the touch.

[Ice Dragon Crown (Gold)]

【Quality: Treasure】

[Equipment requirements: Level 20 or above]

[Armor: 37~41]

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

[Additional Effect ②: Frost Blessing (When releasing all ice magic or ice attacks, the maximum attack range increases by 30%, and the attack power increases by 30%)]

[Additional Effect ③: Ice Dragon Will (When attacked by a mental attack, the chance of being controlled is reduced by 50%, and the mental damage received is reduced by 20%.)]

[Note: Ice Dragon Soul Set 1/3, can be combined with Ice Dragon Fang and Ice Dragon Ring to form a set effect. ]

[After collecting all three pieces, you can activate the set effect: 'Ice Dragon Blood Drain'. ]

...

After reading the introduction of this equipment, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Oh my god... this is actually a gold suit!"

"What a powerful attribute!"

Especially the second special effect [Frost Blessing], which can increase the attack range of ice attribute magic, which is of great help to frost mages like Cao Xing!

Plus the other special effects are also very good.

The attributes of this one piece of equipment alone are so powerful, it would be even better if you could collect all three pieces!

For a moment, Cao Xing became even more excited.

Then he went on to look at other things.

Next, there are two scrolls opened from the treasure chest.

[Ice Dragon Blood Fighter Recruitment Scroll (Purple)]

[Use this scroll to recruit an Ice Dragon Blood Fighter with third-level elite strength]

...

"Level 3 Elite?"

"It's not bad."

Although the third-level elite was not of much help to him, he did open two of them this time.

Moreover, this is a recruitment scroll opened from an exclusive treasure chest, and the types of troops inside must be special.

With a hint of expectation, Cao Xing continued to check.

[Large Anti-Corruption Potion (Purple)]

[Effect of the medicine: After taking it, the effect of 'condensation corruption' will be reduced by 80% within the next three hours.]

(Note: Under the influence of Zhuo Ma's power, some powerful ice dragon minions will appear in the ice nest later. When these minions attack, they will have the effect of "condensation corruption", and the attacked enemies will have their mobility and health limit greatly reduced.)
...

"I see. This is a potion for those powerful ice nest monsters out back."

Cao Xing put it into his backpack.

Apart from that, there is only one golden material left to look at.

[Longyan Mine (Gold): Special Material]

[Effect: Can be used to build some advanced buildings or equipment of the Ice Dragon series. ]

...

"I see. This is the same as the glacial fragments. It is also a crafting material, but it is more advanced."

At this point, I have finished looking at all the new things in this golden treasure chest.

In general, it is worthy of being exclusive to the 'Zhuoma Series', and nothing in it is simple.

Cao Xing also equipped the [Crown of Ice Dragon] without hesitation, and immediately felt that his spirit and physical fitness had improved significantly again.

It’s no wonder that Cao Xing, equipped with the [Crown of Ice Dragon] and holding the [Staff of Light of Dawn], really has the flavor of a great wizard.

"Great, great, not only have the attributes been improved, but the temperament has also been greatly improved!"

"It's true that clothes make the man!"

Cao Xing looked at his current outfit with satisfaction.

As for the [Snow Eagle Helmet] that he had taken off, he planned to give it to Liu Muxue later, which would also increase her attributes a little.

Then, Cao Xing took out two recruitment scrolls from his backpack and clicked summon directly.

[Do you want to use the Dragon Blood Fighter Recruitment Scroll*2? ]

"Yes."

The next moment, the two scrolls in Cao Xing's hands disappeared.

Then, there was another tremor in the sky.

It was as if two meteors fell from the sky.

The two meteors turned into two huge ice cubes and smashed suddenly in front of Cao Xing.

Boom! ! !

The violent vibration made other people in the territory look here, thinking that an ice nest had fallen down!

Even Cao Xing was shocked!
"Oh my god...summoning two elite monsters, is it such a big deal?"

Originally, he didn't have high expectations for these two recruitment scrolls.

The result now seems a little complicated.
