Chapter 189: Survival Difficulty Increased, Four Major Legions in Area 174

Renis snuggled in Cao Xing's arms, her face flushed with satisfaction, and she whispered, "I finally got the care of the Lord..."

Cao Xing was stunned after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Um……"

Reneece nodded sheepishly.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I'll come see you again when I have time in the evening."

Hearing this, Renis became even happier and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

At this time, Cao Xing suddenly said: "By the way, this is for you."

After saying that, she took out the [Cruel Gloves] and [Ferocious Beast Leather Pants] from her backpack.

Renis gently took the two pieces of equipment.

After feeling the aura above, she also knew that these two pieces of equipment were extremely suitable for her.

She gently put the two pieces of equipment away.

Then, under Cao Xing's surprised gaze, Renis crawled directly into the bed.

The next moment, Cao Xing felt something soft enveloping him.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"hiss!!"

Another half hour passed.

Cao Xing just left Renis's room...

The cold wind howled at night.

Mixed with the warmth from the furnace, it gradually cools down the heated brain.

It was almost late at night.

Cao Xing said with a strange look on his face: "I still have some elite souls and some equipment in my backpack that I haven't distributed yet."

"But it's too late now."

"Forget it, let's go back to the room and sleep today..."

Just as he was about to return to the lord's hut, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash past him.

And sneaked into the bullpen.

"Huh? Who is it?" Cao Xing was shocked.

"Could it be another stalker? Didn't Sarah notice?"

Thinking of this possibility, Cao Xing suddenly became a little nervous.

After all, there were more than a dozen cloud yaks locked up in the [cowshed], which represented a huge fortune for him.

No matter who it is, sneaking into the bullpen in the middle of the night is definitely not a good thing.

He followed calmly.

Then he stopped in front of the wooden door of the cowshed.

Through the gap, he saw a petite figure carrying a small wooden bucket and then entering the pile of yaks in the clouds.

After seeing the figure inside clearly, Cao Xing's face was already frowning.

'Crunch! '

Cao Xing directly pushed open the door of the cowshed, and then asked with a dark face: “Elisa, what are you doing?”

When the little girl who was milking heard Cao Xing's voice, she was so scared that she almost jumped up.

She hurriedly put the small wooden bucket in her hand behind her back.

"Leader, lead, lead... Lord!"

"Why are you here?"

Cao Xing was speechless and said, "You still ask me why I'm here. Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and come here to steal milk?"

Seeing that she had been discovered, Elisa simply stopped hiding.

She quickly ran to Cao Xing, knelt down gently, hugged his thighs and said pleadingly.

"Wow, wow, wow... Lord, Elisa is wrong..."

"Please forgive Elisa just this once. I won't dare to do it again..."

Seeing her like this, Cao Xing was speechless again.

He said, "Okay, get up. I didn't say anything about what I did to you."

Hearing this, the little girl jumped up on the spot and said happily: "Wow! Thank you, Lord."

"I knew the Lord would forgive me!"

Cao Xing was speechless, "I didn't say I forgive you."

"Tell me first, isn't there milk in the cafeteria? Why did you come here to drink it secretly?"

After hearing this, Elisa said excitedly: "Of course it's because milk tastes better when it's fresh!"

"Especially the milk of Cloud Yak, which tastes the most delicious only within the first few minutes after it is squeezed out!"

"Elissa loves milk!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing's mouth twitched, and then he revealed an evil smile.

"Really? Then do I need to tell Mr. Meyer about you coming here to drink milk secretly in the middle of the night?"

Hearing this, Elisa suddenly became nervous.

"Woooaaaaa! Don't tell my father, he'll hit me on the head and won't give me milk for days!"

At this moment, Elisa came over shyly, then turned around and bent down.

She pointed her little butt at Cao Xing.

Cao Xing was confused, "What are you doing?"

Elisa said aggrievedly: "I know I was wrong. I will spank you a few times. Can you please not tell my father..."

Cao Xing originally wanted to say no.

But a mischievous thought suddenly arose in his heart.

So, Cao Xing directly put the little girl on his thighs, and then slapped her buttocks several times.

Snapped! Bang bang!

Every time he took a picture, Cao Xing would feel a soft touch.

Elisa's body trembled slightly, and she begged for mercy.

"Woo...Woo..."

"My Lord...Elissa is wrong..."

The girl's begging for mercy not only did not make Cao Xing slow down his strength, but made him hit her even harder.

"Woooo..."

But after a few times, Elisa suddenly stopped moving.

Cao Xing thought he had used too much force and stopped what he was doing.

"Elissa? Did I hit him too hard?"

But at this moment, the little girl raised her head.

Under Cao Xing's surprised gaze, she held Cao Xing's cheeks and kissed him directly.

At this moment, Cao Xing was instantly stunned.

He didn’t expect that Elisa would make such a bold move.

Their lips touched.

Although Elisa's movements were still unfamiliar, they had a unique flavor...

There was also a burst of fragrance coming from the tip of the nose.

Mmm... there is also a hint of milky aroma...

After a while, their lips parted.

Elisa wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

She smiled slyly, "Lord, don't tell my father~"

After saying that, Elisa trotted out of the bullpen...

It took Cao Xing a long time to come back to his senses.

He touched the lingering fragrance at the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly: "Oh my god... I seem to have been tricked by this little girl."

"Next time I get the chance, I'll teach you a lesson."

Mr. Cao cannot swallow this humiliation.

Then he dusted himself off.

After leaving the cowshed, I returned to the lord's cottage.

...

Cao Xing simply washed up and went back into bed.

However, before he fell asleep.

A pair of slender legs hooked up and were rubbing gently.

Cao Xing raised his head and saw the fiery eyes behind Liu Muxue's beautiful face.

The depression of the previous two nights also made this woman a little eager...

"Axing..."

Cao Xing sighed in his heart.

Fortunately, I am now a third-level magician with a strong physique, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to handle it.

After satisfying Liu Muxue again, the two fell into a deep sleep...

...

late at night.

After most creatures fell into a deep sleep.

The Great Rift Valley camp where Montev was located was still burning with a raging fire.

However, after seven or eight hours of burning, the fire has gradually subsided a lot.

The various buildings inside, including the bodies of the hunters, were basically burned to ashes.

Several hunter killers with elite strength quickly came to the side of the Great Rift Valley and saw the flames rising from the camp.

They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"God of Light! The base of the Montra priests has been destroyed!"

"We were just on a mission and away for a few days, how could this happen?"

"Priest Montra is a master at the fourth-order leader level. Apart from the Knight Captain of the Ice Crystal Kingdom, who else has the strength to deal with him?"

At this time, a hunter killer whose aura was about to reach the fourth level said: "Don't worry about it for now, let's go and investigate and see if we can find any clues!"

"Leave one person behind to search the Grand Canyon and find the direction the perpetrators left."

After this person finished speaking, the other killers nodded.

"Yes!"

Then they went down to the bottom of the rift valley and began searching.

Ten minutes later.

The killers gathered together again and shook their heads.

"There are no clues. The battle must have happened several hours ago. It is impossible to determine the identity of the enemy based on the situation here."

Another assassin also replied: "All the bodies have been burned, and we can't tell the enemy's strength by the wounds on their bodies."

The assassin who was in charge of searching the Great Rift Valley also came over. "I have just searched the valley, and there are still no clues. The enemy is very clean."

After they finished speaking, the other hunter killers fell into silence.

The assassin captain frowned and said, "We are in trouble... The fact that they were able to destroy Montra's camp shows that they have the strength to threaten many of our Church of Light's strongholds."

"If they keep targeting our Church of Light, our plans in Snowstorm Field may be hindered."

Hearing this, the other hunter killers also frowned.

After a moment, the assassin captain continued.

"But the only good news is that the other party deliberately erased all traces, which means they don't want to attract the attention of our Church of Light."

"That is to say, the strength of this group of people is not too strong, and they can't be the regular army of the Ice Crystal Kingdom."

The other killers nodded.

This may be the only good news for them.

The assassin captain changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "But no matter what, we must report this matter to the bishop as soon as possible!"

"If we find these guys who dare to blaspheme the God of Light, we must impose the most severe sanctions on them!"

Several killers made their decision and quickly left the place.

...

...

The next day...

Cao Xing still held the beauty in his arms and slept soundly.

A system prompt appears.

[Survivors, please note that you have passed the fifth day of the official period. The difficulty of the monsters in the Ice Nest has increased. From today on, second-level Ice Nest monsters will appear. 】

[Weather forecast: light wind, suitable for going out, developing territory, please pay attention to the snow on the ground...]

...

See the system prompt.

The two opened their eyes.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Has a second-level Ice Nest Monster appeared?"

"Are the survivors' levels up to par?"

So he went to take a look at the discussion in the chat channel and roughly understood the current situation.

In the entire 174th area, there are more than survivors who have broken through to the second level, which is almost one in ten.

The levels of the other survivors are roughly between 7 and 9.

He nodded secretly, "Sure enough, with Ice Nest here, everyone's level is increasing quite fast."

As the number of second-order survivors increased, the [Legion] began to rise.

As discussed with Wu Xinghu at that time, it is a major trend for survivors to stick together.

The founders of these [Legions] began to advertise in the chat channels.

Wu Xinghu: "The first legion of the 174th district, Binghu, is recruiting. We have 57 second-level warriors in our legion, 47 territories, and sufficient supplies. Anyone who joins Binghu is a brother!"

Zhou Bo: "The Sky Blade Corps is recruiting. Our Corps has 43 second-level warriors and 54 territories. As long as you join us, you can lead your family and polar people to our territory headquarters and no longer have to worry about the threat of ice nest monsters!"

Qiu Yating: "The Xinzhou Legion is recruiting. We also have 18 second-level warriors and a third-level elite warrior under our command. We are enough to easily deal with the Ice Nest at this stage."

There are only four legions in District 174 at present.

After all, at the current stage, it is still quite difficult to establish a legion.

What surprised Cao Xing was that Qiu Yating was not dead and had even formed a legion.

I haven't contacted her since the last time I came out of the Witch Forest.

Cao Xing thought to himself: "This is quite interesting!"

"It seems that they have also gained some opportunities in the Witch Forest. They actually have a third-level elite subordinate."

"I just don't know if the mission she mentioned was completed?"

However, this has nothing to do with Cao Xing.

Although a third-level elite is powerful, for the strength of Cao Xing's territory, a third-level elite is simply insignificant.

Just send out a boar warrior to kill it.

At the same time, seeing the recruitment information of those legions, the survivors also raised a series of questions below.

Zheng Yan: "Boss Wu Xinghu, how can you Binghu join? I am a second-level mechanic, and I have two second-level warriors under me. I want to join your territory."

Feng Yu: "Yes, everyone's territories are too far apart now. If I join your legion, how can I get to your territory?"

Wu Xinghu replied: "You don't have to worry about the distance. Once you join the legion, survivors from the same camp will have a 10% movement speed bonus when they travel to another legion's territory.

"And as the legion's level increases, the movement speed bonus also increases."

"If the distance is too far, we can travel back and forth after a while when we build a legion transport vehicle."

"Also, even if you join the Legion, it doesn't mean you have to give up your territory. You can still develop at your own pace."

"The role of the Legion is just to unite everyone and better allocate resources."

Hearing this, the other survivors asked, "Boss Wu Xinghu, if we join your army, do we have to hand over all the resources in our territory? What can we get then?"

"Yes, yes, what other benefits are there to joining the legion besides being able to visit the same faction's territory?"

Wu Xinghu answered: "As mentioned above, there are two development modes after joining the legion."

"The first option is that you bring your family and everyone to my legion's territory headquarters, which is my territory."

"Under this method, you need to hand over all your resources, and all personnel will be under my command."

"The benefit is that you don't have to worry about the development of the territory, nor do you have to worry about the safety of the ice nest monsters."

"The downside is that you lose your territory."

"The second option is that you continue to develop your territory as before, and I will also have the authority to check your territory's basic supplies, but I can only mobilize 40% of the resources at most."

"However, I hereby promise that as long as you join our Ice Tiger Legion, I will never use your resources privately, and I will also allocate some materials to other territories based on contributions and the urgency of the situation to achieve common development."

After Wu Xinghu finished speaking, he immediately gained a lot of support.

Many of the survivors decided to join the Ice Tiger Corps.

Currently, a level 1 legion can accommodate up to 100 territories. With so many resources concentrated together, it would be a great success if they were allocated reasonably.

Their territory will develop rapidly.

Of course, some people also joined Zhou Bo's Tiandao Legion.

Even Qiu Yating's Xinzhou Legion recruited more than 30 people.

The heated discussions in the chat channel could hardly fail to attract the attention of the survivors.

In the lord's hut.

Liu Muxue asked softly: "Axing, don't we need to form a legion?"

Cao Xing shook his head.

"not needed for now."

"If a territory wants to develop, it needs not only population but also materials."

"At present, we have no shortage of both types. We just need to maintain the current pace of development."

The main reason is that Cao Xing feels that it will be troublesome to manage too many people.

After hearing Cao Xing's explanation, Liu Muxue nodded in sudden realization.

"Let's go, Mu Xue, we need to get up."

"Okay..."

Soon, the two pushed open the door of the lord's hut.

Because the pace of development of Cao Xing's territory is still the same as yesterday.

So the people got up early in the morning and went to work on their own initiative.

Those who mine mine, and those who cut down trees cut down trees.

There is no need for Cao Xing to give any more instructions.

However, there are still some people waiting outside the territory.

Old Mel and Duan, along with a group of polar people, saluted respectfully to Cao Xing.

After the routine greetings.

Cao Xing asked, "Mr. Meier, what's the matter?"

Old Mel nodded with a look of joy on his face.

"My Lord, as you ordered, I have collected all the hair from the 19 cloud yaks. Please have a look."

Hearing this, Cao Xing also became interested.

As long as these hairs are processed, he can wear self-heating clothes!

A quick glance revealed the blue and white hair in Old Mel's hand.

[Cloud Yak Hair: Special Material]

[Material properties: Thermal energy storage (absorbed thermal energy can be stored in the hair and released slowly)]

[Remaining useful life: 12 years]

(Tip: If the hair no longer generates heat, place it next to a stove or other heat source for a while to allow it to reabsorb the heat and resume its heat-generating function.)
...

After seeing this explanation, Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of enlightenment.

Although the hair of the cloud yak can store heat energy, it cannot generate heat permanently.

As the magic power is lost, it will gradually lose its spirituality.

Still, twelve years of use is a long time.

Cao Xing collected all the hair from Old Mel and put it into his backpack.

[Obtained: Cloud Yak Hair*22.84KG]

...

"Not bad!"

"Nearly 23 kilograms of hair can be used to make several sets of fur coats."

Cao Xing said with satisfaction: "Mr. Meier, you have worked hard."

"These hairs are very helpful for territory."

Mel nodded respectfully and stepped back.

Duan also came over at this time.

Then he reported: "Lord, according to your instructions, the alchemy workshop has been built to the intermediate level, and the medical room has also been built."

"In addition, we have also upgraded the polar man's hut to level 5. Do you want to check it out?"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned.

"Has the Polar Man's Hut been upgraded to level 5?"

He looked over and saw at a glance the one-story stone building about three meters high next to the lord's cottage.

[Polar Hut: Level 5]

[Building function: You can summon polar people to work for you by consuming food. ]

【Area: 60 square meters】

[Maximum number of recruits: 8/20 people]

[Required to upgrade to level 6: Level 6 Lord's Mansion, Stone*500, Wood*300, Iron*200, Refined Iron*100, Intermediate Element Crystal*10]
