Chapter 185 Count the harvest and set fire to the camp!
After opening the storage box, a lot of acquisition prompts appear.

“So many new things!”

There was excitement in Cao Xing's eyes.

He couldn't wait to start checking the properties of these props.

The first one is the orange quality book.

Written on it in gold-bordered letters was the words "Advanced Assassin's Manual".

The signature next to it was not Montella, but another unknown assassin.

[Advanced Assassin's Manual (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect of prop: It records the life of an unknown assassin, including his various assassination techniques and experiences. By constantly practicing the techniques in the book, you can master the various assassination skills of this unknown assassin.]

[Learnable skills: Advanced assassination techniques, Shadow Swiftness, Assassination Rules, Shattered Shadow, Phantom Flash, Instant Prison Shadow Kill. ]

[Reading requirements: assassin, thief, stalker, killer and other assassination professions. ]

【Reading time: unknown】

(Note: Depending on personal talent and effort, the time required to learn the various skills recorded in it varies. Only by practicing hard can you become a true assassin king!)
...

When Cao Xing saw the introduction of this thing, he was shocked.

"Huh? This is actually a manual that allows people to learn various advanced skills!"

Of the six skills recorded in this book, the white-robed priest has already learned the first five, and their attributes are very powerful.

As for the last one, [Instant Prison Shadow Kill], it is probably a more advanced skill.

Even the white-robed priest didn't understand.

Obviously, the value of this book is immeasurable.

No wonder its quality is marked orange.

It is a priceless treasure for any assassin or killer!
But unfortunately, this thing has limitations and only those with the killer or assassin profession can learn it.

In addition, you need to study the knowledge in the manual carefully and practice day after day to learn the skills in it.

It's very convenient for survivors like them.

After obtaining these skill books, you can learn how to use the skills by just clapping your hands.

but--

In any case, the value of this book is definitely greater than the tens of thousands of kilograms of food mentioned above.

And it was almost tailor-made for Sarah!

This powerful dark elf assassin would be greatly improved if he learned any of the skills.

"It's worthy of being an orange-quality item. It's so powerful!"

With excitement, Cao Xing began to look at the second thing, which was a blueprint of a training barracks.

[Shadow Killer Training Barracks Blueprint]

[Drawing effect: You can build a training barracks in the territory to train ordinary unprofessional citizens into shadow killers. They can learn basic assassination techniques, shadow stealth and other skills.]

【Area: 124 square meters】

[Durability: 1800]

[Materials required for construction: Stone*300, Wood*150, Iron*100, Refined Iron*50, Mithril*20, Shadow Crystal*5)]

【Construction time: 17:32】

...

"Can you train a barracks of shadow killers?"

The thoughts in Cao Xing's mind became active again.

"If I have this training camp, can I train a group of shadow assassins and let them study the Advanced Assassin's Manual?"

“Although the various skills in this manual have very high requirements.”

“But as long as one person learns one of these skills, it’s all profitable.”

"By then, I can even use this manual to train a group of powerful killers!"

Through this combination of drawings and manuals.

Cao Xing seemed to see a different development model.

However, these still need time to practice.

In addition, to build this barracks, a new material is needed, [Shadow Crystal].

So, Cao Xing clapped his hands, clicked on this drawing directly to study, and continued to look at the next thing.

[Liya Medina's Transfiguration Potion: Special Items]

[Potion effect: After use, you can transform into a creature you have come into contact with, imitating its strength, aura, etc. The transformation effect lasts for 60 minutes]

(Note: The potion can only imitate the breath of creatures within the fifth level at most, and will be detected by beings 20 levels higher than you.)
...

"Transfiguration potion? This is good stuff!"

Cao Xing thought to himself: "However, this transformation shouldn't be considered a buff effect, right?"

"It would be fun if I were blessed by the power of eternity and permanently transformed into some other creature!"

But no matter what, this bottle of potion is still very useful and may come in handy at some point.

Put it in the backpack.

He moved on to the second potion.

[Liya Medina's True Sight Potion: Special Item]

[Potion effect: After taking it, you will have the effect of true vision for the next hour, and can see through the enemy's disguise, deformation, stealth and other effects. ]

(Note: This potion can only see through camouflage effects up to level 5.)
...

"Interesting, these two potions are complementary, right?"

"After drinking the Transfiguration Potion, you can change into the aura of another person."

"After drinking the True Sight Potion, I can see through some disguises and transformation effects."

Cao Xing smiled and then started to check the next thing.

[Livia Cherry Beer: After taking it, you can instantly recover 300 HP and increase your agility by 300 points within 15 seconds. There is an 80% chance of entering a drunken state.]

(A kind of beer loved by the lonely strong. Sold in the territory tavern, it has a chance to attract some stealth or rangers to your territory.)
...

There's nothing much to say about this. It's the same type of consumables as [Champion Liquor] and [Rose Wine].

But what it attracts are agility heroes.

Cao Xing continued to check.

This time, it was a few pieces of hind leg meat that exuded a chill.

[Frost Moose Hind Leg Meat (Gold)]

[The hind leg meat contains the breath of ice. When eaten for the first time, it can increase ice attack by 5%]

(Note: Frost moose are a very rare magical creature with extremely strong magic power. It is said that they can spit out frost breath that freezes everything.)
...

"Oh my god... golden beast meat, this is the first time I've come across this."

"The hind leg meat of this frost moose actually increases damage by a percentage. Isn't the effect too strong?"

Obviously, this stuff is very valuable. You only need to eat 100g to take effect. 8 yuan here is enough for 80 servings!
Cao Xing can not only eat it himself, but also give it to other subordinates with ice abilities in the territory.

For example, the two dragon-blood fighters and the frost archer Elisa and others.

The 5% increase in ice damage is still very powerful.

Of course Cao Xing would not sell such precious animal meat.

The most important thing is to keep it to improve your own strength.

At this moment, Cao Xing still had two things left in his hand.

They are a list and a square box.

He first checked the introduction of the list.

[List of Black Robe Priests: It records some of the Black Robe Priests that Montra had come into contact with, as well as their identities, and secretly recorded their names.]

[Name: Kulin Kurtz (Everfrost Main City, Kulin Pharmacy Merchant)]

[Name: Marcia Glass (Melinde City, Baron's wife)]

[Name: Tashid Cotton (Everfrost Main City, Third Legion of the Kingdom’s Garrison Army, Lieutenant General)]

【Name……】

...

After reading these dozens of names, Cao Xing's eyes showed shock!

"You won't know until you see it, it's really shocking!"

These dozens of people include people from all major towns and industries in the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

From a potion merchant to a noble relative, from a knight to a knight commander...

The highest-ranking general among them was a general named Tashid.

Cao Xing sighed, "It seems that the Ice Crystal Kingdom has been infiltrated by the Church of Light like a sieve!"

You know, this list only includes some of the black-robed priests that Montella has come into contact with.

For the Church of Light, this is most likely just the tip of the iceberg of their vast power.

At this time, Cao Xing thought: "The name Tashid seems familiar..."

He thought about it in his mind for a moment, and then was suddenly shocked!
"I think I remembered it!"

"In the underground prison of that village, Lieutenant Declan, who was rescued by me, said that they were sent out by General Tasid to conduct reconnaissance."

"Oh no! It turns out the biggest traitor is their boss. No wonder Declan and the others were all exposed!"

This also made Cao Xing feel a sense of crisis.

The infiltration capabilities of the Church of Light are truly terrifying.

Even high-ranking officials in such positions could be converted into members of their church!
Cao Xing felt more and more that his actions today were correct!

At his current rate of development, the Church of Light would sooner or later notice him.

And Cao Xing's actions today can be said to have greatly delayed this time.

"It seems that the Church of Light has great plans."

"In the near future, these conspiracies may all explode, which may have an impact on the entire kingdom and will also affect us survivors."

"With my current strength, I can't make any impact on this huge force. Even if I have killed a lot of white-robed and black-robed priests recently, it will only cause them no pain."

Cao Xing knew this clearly, and he did not feel inflated by his consecutive victories.

Moreover, through these analyses, Cao Xing also made up his mind.

That is to continue to advance steadily and gradually improve the strength of oneself and the territory.

Then when these crises break out, you will have the power to protect yourself.

Thinking of this, he put all these things away.

Then, a square box appeared in his hand.

This is also the last item in this storage box.

【Montra Collection Box】

[Item information: It seems to contain something extremely important to Montella.]…

"The collection of the white-robed priest? Is it something valuable?"

Looking at the introduction of the items, Cao Xing felt a little curious.

Including Liu Muxue, who also leaned over with some curiosity.

He slowly opened the box.

But when they saw what was inside, their faces turned pale and they felt a chill at the same time!

And Liu Muxue next to her almost couldn't help but vomit on the spot!

Snapped!
Cao Xing closed the box on the spot, and then cursed inwardly: "Damn, this Montella is really perverted..."

Inside this box is a head.

A woman's head.

No one knew how long she had been dead, but in the low temperature environment of this world, she still maintained a lifelike expression, as if she had just died.

Thinking of Montella's character introduction, Cao Xing roughly understood the identity of the woman in the box.

He was about to throw the box away, but after thinking for a moment, he sighed.

"Forget it, let's find a place to bury him after we get out. He's such a poor man."

After doing all this, Cao Xing searched the basement again.

After confirming that nothing was missed, he took Liu Muxue and Tong Chuchu and left.

When they come out.

See Assam has finished cleaning up the battlefield.

Hundreds of hunters' bodies were piled together and their equipment was stripped off.

at the same time.

Three elite Ascalon warriors came over and reported: "My Lord, we have carefully searched every corner, including the hidden basement and cabinets. We have searched them two or three times and have confirmed that there is nothing missing!"

"In these rooms, we found more than a dozen hunters hiding, but we executed them on the spot!"

Cao Xing nodded, "Very good."

Sarah came over quietly and reported: "The secret passage has been found. It's behind the big rock on the edge of the cliff."

"I checked and there are no other hunters in the secret passage."

Cao Xing nodded again.

Then, Assam also came over and said, "My Lord, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and the bodies of the hunters have all been piled together."

"And everything that fell from them has been collected. Please take a look!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes were also filled with excitement.

This time, they killed nearly six hundred people, and it is hard to imagine how much stuff could be found among them!
He suppressed his excitement and collected all the spoils on the ground.

First, there are four bosses and the equipment dropped by each boss.

[Obtain: Silent Blade (Gold)*2]

[Obtain: Swift Boots (Purple)]

[Obtain: Cruel Gloves (Purple)]

[Obtain: Believer Hammer (Purple)]

[Obtain: Magic Shadow Dual Blades (Purple)]

[Obtain: Deep Staff (Purple)]

……

Five pieces of purple equipment! Two golden assassin's knives!

Obviously, this wave of gains is huge.

Then, there are the weapons carried by the elite hunters and ordinary hunters.

[Obtain: Assassin's Blade (Blue)*11]

[Obtain: Stone Crushing Sword (Blue) * 12]

[Obtain: Sandalwood Longbow (Blue)*6]

[Obtain: Standard weapons of the Church of Light (sword, axe, gun, bow) * 437]

[Obtain: Arrow*4172]

...

After this wave, Cao Xing’s territory’s arrow reserves will also receive a huge supplement.

Next, there are some souls and hearts of power, as well as various attribute books.

[Obtain: Montella's Shadow Soul*1]

[Obtain: Black Robe Priest Soul*3]

[Obtain: Hunter Elite Soul*18]

[Obtain: Advanced Power Heart*1]

[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*6]

[Obtain: Primary Power Heart *52]

[Obtain: Large Book of Agility*1]

[Obtain: Medium-sized books of various attributes *28]

[Obtain: Small books of various attributes * 172]

...

One leader soul, three boss-level souls, plus eighteen elite souls!
If these resources can be digested, Cao Xing's strength will be greatly improved!

However, Cao Xing did not check it immediately.

Because he had to hurry to clean up the battlefield.

He looked at Assam and said in a serious tone: "Have the bodies of our soldiers who died in the battle been found?"

Hearing this question, Asam was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I found them all."

"There are five dead in total."

"Two soldiers from the Cantha Empire, one imperial archer, and two warriors from the Wild Boar Tribe."

When people heard the death toll, no one on the scene said anything.

After all, in a large-scale battle like this, when the enemy's level and number are generally higher than theirs, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.

It is a miracle that only five people died, a casualty ratio of nearly 1:100.

Cao Xing sighed and said, "These soldiers who died in battle are all heroes of our territory."

"Wrap their bodies in cotton clothes and carry them back to the territory."

Asam nodded solemnly, "Yes, Lord!"

After they wrapped up the bodies of the five dead soldiers.

Cao Xing ordered: "Everyone prepare to return now!"

"Andrew, take some people and burn this place down."

After hearing the order, everyone took action.

Andrew brought several soldiers and threw torches in various corners of the camp.

The flames gradually rose up and engulfed the entire camp.

Under the light of the fire, Cao Xing and his group gradually left the camp...

...

More than ten minutes later, Cao Xing returned to the top of the Great Rift Valley and successfully reunited with Lab and his team.

Cao Xing said at this time: "Everyone, follow me, Labun, follow behind the team and erase our marching traces."

The boar warrior Lab nodded and said, "Yes, Lord!"

Then, Cao Xing led more than a hundred people and changed direction along the Great Rift Valley.

Not only that, he also deliberately took a detour of more than 20 kilometers.

The journey takes you through mountains, frozen rivers and forests.

It took more than two hours before we started moving towards the territory.

...

...

And not long after Cao Xing and his friends left.

This large camp of the Church of Light was already ablaze with flames reaching the sky.

A shadow was still lurking around the secret passage.

It was Sarah who was instructed by Cao Xing.

At this moment, she entered a deep [Phantom] state, and with the shadow cloak, her aura had been concealed to the extreme.

She has been standing here quietly waiting for more than an hour since Cao Xing left.

Watch the raging flames rise into the sky and spread to the entire camp.

She still maintained the same posture, motionless.

After a moment, Sarah noticed an open area in the camp and suddenly a piece of floor was lifted up.

A hunter wearing a mask and with a frightened look in his eyes came out.

He looked at the camp engulfed in flames and the pile of burning corpses, and couldn't help but exclaim!
"Oh my God! High Priest Montella is dead, and everyone in the camp has been killed!"

"It's hard to imagine that this was accomplished by a lord from another world and his men."

"I have to report this immediately!"

After saying this, the hunter came behind a large rock on the edge of the cliff. He wanted to leave the Great Rift Valley through this secret passage.

And not long after he entered the secret passage.

The hunter suddenly felt a pain in his back, and a dagger pierced straight into his body.

puff!
Before he could make a sound.

Two shadow blades slashed down silently.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-5733! 】

【-twenty four】

...

[Dagger of Obstruction] plus three consecutive slashes caused more than 10,000 damages.

At the same time, [Shadow Bloom] recorded the previous damage and then exploded directly!
