Chapter 213 Post-war Construction, Prosperity (7000)

Cao Xing said: "Well, I'll give you a chance."

"Next, you will work hard for me in the territory for three months."

"And as a reward, I will find a way to help you improve to the fourth level of strength."

"Then I will allow you to go back and save your family. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. How about that?"

At this moment, when Sabina heard Cao Xing say that he would help her improve to the fourth level of strength, she thought she was hallucinating.

And when she heard the last sentence, she was stunned where she was.

"You...what did you say?"

"Are you willing to help me reach the fourth level, and are you willing to let me go back to save people?"

There was a strong sense of disbelief in her tone.

Cao Xing nodded.

For him, the reason he bought Sabina was simply because of her skill of [Advanced Poison Technique].

With his current development speed, the strength of the territory would probably increase many times in three months.

By then, a senior poison master will be of no use.

There's nothing wrong with letting her go.

After getting Cao Xing's affirmation, Sabina took a few deep breaths.

She asked again tentatively: "Really...Is it really only necessary to work for three months?"

Cao Xing replied: "That's right, but the premise is that you work hard."

When Sabina heard this, she was immediately excited and said, "I will work hard. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do my best to complete it!"

"Thank you, merciful Lord!"

[Due to your promise, the loyalty of territory member: Sabina has been increased. Current loyalty: 71]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing smiled.

Then, he nodded and said, "Very good, go back to your room and treat your wounds."

"Everyone else can go home too."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, the women looked at each other, then turned and left.

Sabina stood up slowly.

Then he took out a small bottle from his pocket.

"This is detoxifying powder. Apply it to the wound of this snake lady and the toxin will be removed quickly."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned, then took it.

[Obtain: Detoxification Powder (Blue)*1]

Look at the properties.

[Detoxification Powder (Blue): Can relieve some common poisoning conditions]

...

Although the poison attack caused by Sabina was not strong, Liu Muxue could solve it with a purification spell.

But with this detoxifying powder, it is much more convenient.

Under Cao Xing's order, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Those who need to go back to their rooms go back to their rooms, and those who need to rest go to rest.

Cao Xing looked at the snake girl next to him and said, "Ilena, come with me."

After hearing this, Ilena nodded obediently, then twisted her tail and followed Cao Xing.

...

In the room, Cao Xing opened the bottle cap and poured the white powder on Ilena's wound.

At this moment, the beautiful snake woman was half lying on the bed.

The lower half of the snake's tail was placed on Cao Xing's thigh, staring at Cao Xing with a pair of narrow eyes.

Those eyes were not scary at all, but instead added a strange beauty to them.

The effect of [detoxification powder] is very good.

Soon the effect of the poison on Ilena's wound disappeared.

Cao Xing clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Elena, you have ice healing skills, and you will be back to normal soon."

“It was a good performance today.”

Cao Xing praised.

Hearing this, the snake girl in front of him covered her face and chuckled.

"My Lord... since I have performed well, can you give me a little reward?"

Cao Xing was stunned, "What reward do you need?"

By the way, Ilena is now also a level 30 elite.

The only improvement at the moment is to change her weapon or give her a boss-level soul.

But Cao Xing has used up all of these.

We can only wait and see tomorrow to see if we can get a leader's soul over here.

But at this moment.

A snake tail covered with white scales had wrapped around Cao Xing's waist, binding him.

Ilena raised her upper body and moved closer quickly.

Then, Cao Xing saw a face with black eye shadow and full of exotic charm appear in front of him.

The two looked at each other.

Cao Xing felt the heat in the eyes of the beauty in front of him.

"The reward is... this..."

After saying that, Ilena took the initiative to kiss him.

Their lips touched.

At this moment, Cao Xing felt a completely different smell.

It doesn't have a fishy smell, but a refreshing mint-like smell.

It makes people subconsciously want to taste a few more bites.

After a moment, she took the initiative to grab Cao Xing's arm and covered her proud chest with it.

The snake people have a very low body temperature.

A cool and soft...

Let Cao Xing also gradually hold it.

"Well……"

Ilena made a seductive sound.

The graceful figure was twisting inadvertently.

This also ignited the fire in Cao Xing's heart.

With a 'swish' sound.

The last covering for the beauty in his arms also disappeared.

A blindingly white body was revealed.

Cao Xing held him in his arms, and instantly felt a chill...

"My Lord...Is it cold?"

Ilena seemed to know her own physical condition, there was some worry in her eyes, and at the same time, there was a hint of hidden inferiority.

However, Cao Xing shook his head and chuckled, "It's okay."

Hearing this, Ilena's eyes were filled with joy again.

The two of them were affectionate with each other.

Then she turned around and slowly lowered her head.

Cao Xing only felt a cold but soft touch.

The feeling brought by Xia Yanni and others is different.

Irena's Package...

It's like having a cool spring water in a warm room, constantly washing over you...

Cao Xing pressed down her soft hair with one hand, allowing the source of the spring to go deeper...

...

late at night……

Cao Xing didn't know how he came back.

Anyway, he left Ilena's room in a daze, returned to his own cabin, and fell into a deep sleep.

I slept until around nine o'clock the next day.

Cao Xing opened his eyes first.

The beauty beside the pillow lay on her side in his arms, her eyes closed, her eyelashes moving slightly, and she looked like she was sleeping soundly.

At the same time, Liu Muxue gradually woke up from her sleep.

The two smiled at each other, and both felt a rare warmth.

About what happened with Ilena last night.

Cao Xing didn't think much about it.

Because of Ilena's snake-man body, they did not take the last step.

Just comforted her briefly.

It's normal for the lord to care about his subordinates, right?

Cao Xing smiled.

Then, he opened the system interface and looked through the system prompts to see if he had missed any important information.

[Attention all survivors: You have passed the eighth day of the official period. ]

[Weather forecast: Today's temperature is -46℃ to -57℃, light wind, suitable for going out]

...

It's just a daily reminder, but there's no important information.

Cao Xing said cheerfully: "The weather is pretty good today, it looks like we can go out now."

After hearing this, Liu Muxue blinked her beautiful eyes and asked softly, "Axing, are we going anywhere today?"

Hearing this question, Cao Xing also thought for a moment.

Come to think of it, he really should go out today.

After all, there was a primary problem facing him.

That is to get a large number of [Advanced Power Hearts] and [Intermediate Power Hearts].

After last night's battle, almost everyone in the entire territory has reached the upper limit of their current level, and they can no longer gain experience by killing monsters.

Urgently need a heart of strength to break through.

And Cao Xing only has two high-level power hearts in his hand.

And this thing has the possibility of failure.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "According to estimates, I have several places where I can obtain resources and use them to improve myself."

“For example, get some bait, find new waters to fish, and then use the fish you catch to exchange resources with other survivors.”

"Or, I can go to the nearby city, Melinde City, and sell some of my stuff. I can also see if I can buy some gold equipment or something."

"Also, I can explore the Witch Forest and the ancient battlefield that Yao Yiming mentioned. I can even continue to flatten the camps of other hunters."

For Cao Xing, there are many ways to become stronger, not limited to staying in the territory to kill ice nest monsters.

After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.

That is, go to the Witch Forest first.

After all, the monsters in that forest are of high level, and the probability of a high-level Heart of Power dropping is also higher.

Moreover, there are monsters like the Ice Crystal Human-Faced Tree, which is full of treasures.

In addition, there is a witch whose existence has been confirmed.

This time his strength increased dramatically.

Cao Xing also wanted to explore what secrets this forest was hiding.

So, he said directly: "Get up, Mu Xue, let's go to the Witch Forest today."

Hearing this, the beauty in front of him nodded obediently.

She never interferes with Cao Xing's opinions.

As long as Cao Xing made a decision, Liu Muxue would just follow him and carry it out.

This is also her cleverness.

Although Liu Muxue is a subordinate lord of this territory and has certain authority, she never uses it.

Cao Xing has the final say on everything in this territory.

Of course, Liu Muxue also has her own important role.

That is to protect Cao Xing closely.

In fact, her fighting ability is not weak, but in comparison, Cao Xing is more worried about his own life.

I would rather have one less combatant in battle than not ensure my own safety.

The two washed up and walked out of the lord's cabin.

...

As soon as I walked out of the cabin, the huge temperature difference made me shiver.

Although they have lived in this world for more than half a month, the extremely cold weather still makes people a little uncomfortable.

Cao Xing took out a [Cloud Yak Coat] from his backpack and put it on Liu Muxue.

It makes her look elegant and graceful.

Feeling the heat radiating from the coat, a look of surprise appeared on Liu Muxue's pretty face.

"Thank you, Xing."

Cao Xing rubbed her head and chuckled, "What are you thanking me for?"

Cao Xing has 7 more coats of this kind in his backpack. According to Old Mel, each coat is priceless and its price is no less than that of a [Moonlight Orb], which starts at 50 kronor.

The coats in Cao Xing's backpack alone are worth millions of kronor.

Cao Xing was also looking forward to meeting a new wandering caravan as soon as possible.

This time, he wanted to buy a large amount of goods from these merchants!
While thinking about these things, he took Liu Muxue to patrol the territory.

In the current territory, all the roads have been paved with tiles, which make a 'trample' sound when you step on them.

Compared with the previous muddy ground, the entire territory looks both clean and beautiful.

The tree spirit sisters are hanging two winter pumpkins in front of each house, which not only serve as decoration but also provide lighting at night.

Dozens of polar people and other staff members were working hard.

"My Lord, I wish you good health."

"Madam Lord, you are as spotless and beautiful as the morning dew today."

When these subjects saw them, they would greet them respectfully.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue would also smile and nod to them.

As the two of them gradually passed through the entire territory, Cao Xing also noticed that there were several more building foundations in the territory.

Three or four polar men were working there intensively.

That was the prototype of the [Mage Tower], [Knight's Hall], and [King's Altar].

It is obvious that Leader Cao Yi has already arranged today's work for all the staff.

The entire territory is in a scene of thriving development.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."

"Now the territory's infrastructure is almost complete. The next step is to build various advanced buildings to continue to improve the territory's strength."

To Cao Xing's surprise, the newly joined slaves also began to repair the city wall under the command of Dazhuang.

There were too many ice nest monsters last night. Although Cao Xing’s defense was very strong, some of them still rushed to the foot of the city wall.

These icebrood monsters have caused some damage to the city walls, which will require some resources to repair.

There is also the farmer's wife 'Mpo', who is also following Dahua to prepare today's food.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing nodded secretly.

"Very good, it seems that they have developed some sense of belonging to my territory."

Of course, Cao Xing is not ready to have more contact with them now.

As long as they don't think about escaping, Cao Xing won't do anything to them.

Gradually, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue came to an empty area in the territory.

Then he shouted, "Combatants, assemble!"

After hearing Cao Xing's order, more than two hundred people came over in a crowd.

More than one hundred Ascalon soldiers, more than one hundred wild boar warriors, including other territory backbones, were looking at Cao Xing with a firm gaze.

Cao Xing said directly: "I am going out today and will take some people with me."

Hearing this, everyone had an expectant look in their eyes, as if they hoped that Cao Xing could take them out today.

Then he started calling the roll.

"Sarah, Renis, Hilda, Isabel, Bron, Assam, Andrew, Brot, Lab, Jonald, Josent, Elisa."

There are twelve names in total.

These are the backbone of his territory, and all of them are at least level 30 leaders!
With the help of Cao Xing's many BUFFs, their actual combat power can be regarded as that of a level 40 boss.

This is quite a terrifying force.

Those whose names were called by Cao Xing all had gentle smiles on their faces.

They all felt honored to fight alongside Cao Xing.

And those who were not named were not discouraged.

They just hope that they can become stronger faster.

Then next time, when the lord goes out, he can take them with him.

Elisa said excitedly: "Wow! The Lord finally took me out, that's great!"

After saying that, she put her hands on her hips and looked at the archer team behind her, and said proudly: "Hehe! Did you see that? I told you that I'm so powerful, the lord will definitely take me out!"

Elisa's [Ice Explosion Arrow] has a high damage coefficient and can be charged, which is the main reason why Cao Xing took her out.

The group of archers all had awkward smiles on their faces.

"Captain Elisa is right, you are very powerful."

"Yes, Captain Elisa is the best archer."

Hearing their praise, Elisa touched her head embarrassedly and said, “It’s… not as great as you say, hehehe…”

Seeing the proud look of the little girl, Cao Xing reminded her, “Elisa, you can’t be as casual outside as you are in the territory.”

"Remember, all actions must be under my command, and all your skills can only be released according to my instructions. Do you understand?"

Elisa immediately straightened up, "Understood! Lord!"

Looking at the little girl's non-standard standing posture, Cao Xing couldn't help but smile.

Then, he took out the [Crystal Plate Armor] that Liu Muxue had not had time to change into, and asked.

"Bron, Assam, who of you wants this armor?"

This plate armor is only suitable for melee units like them.

Bron stroked his bald head and laughed, "My Lord, Bron doesn't like to wear clothes. It will affect my ability to show off my muscles."

"You should give it to the Assam Knight."

Cao Xing was speechless.

He also discovered that since summoning Braum, he had been naked from the waist up.

No matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop him from being naked.

Of course, this may also be related to Braum's talent: [Ice Bloodline].

He casually handed the plate armor in his hand to Assam.

The knight took it respectfully.

Then, Cao Xing took out two fist-sized, deep red crystals in his hand.

These are the only two [Hearts of Advanced Power] he has.

He and Liu Muxue were not planning to use it.

Compared to them, the improvement of these leader-level beings under their command who broke through to the fourth level is obviously much greater.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said, "Sarah, Andrew."

The two of them stood up respectfully.

Cao Xing continued: "You are the first members to follow me. Now, use this heart of power to break through to the fourth level."

Sarah and Andrew took it at the same time.

Sarah said with a complicated expression: "Among our dark elves, a fourth-level Phantom Assassin leader is already considered a strong man."

"I thought I would never have the chance to reach this level again..."

Then, she whispered, "Thank you."

Andrew also said with emotion: "Yes, the fourth-level druid leader is the strongest person in our tribe except for the patriarch."

"It's hard to imagine that I was just a second-level druid half a month ago."

"Andrew thanks the Lord for his cultivation!"

Both of them attach great importance to breaking through the fourth level!
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Don't be too happy yet. Although the probability of success of this thing is very high, there is still a probability of failure, so you have to be prepared."

After hearing this, both of them had a faint smile on their faces.

Then, they directly crushed the [Heart of Advanced Power] in their hands.

"Crack! Click!"

The next moment, an extremely pure red energy flowed into their bodies.

On the field, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were watching them.

They were also very curious about the transformation from the third stage to the fourth stage.

After waiting for a few minutes.

An astonishing aura suddenly emerged from Sarah!

Like a sharp dagger, it gives people a stinging feeling just by looking at it!

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-level creature. Her basic attributes have increased by 100%]

When Cao Xing saw the system prompt, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes!
He quickly checked Sarah's attributes.

[Phantom Assassin: Sarah Blade Dance]

[Race: Dark Elf]

[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level Boss-level Creature)]

【Detailed attributes: click to expand】

...

Strong! Stronger than ever before!
Obviously, this is the most powerful creature under Cao Xing!
The health has exceeded 60,000, and the attack power is about to break through 4,000.

Plus, there is a long list of permanent status on her status bar.

This makes this powerful phantom assassin almost without any weaknesses!

At the same time, Cao Xing also noticed Sarah's skill list.

There is an additional skill called [Shadow Step] above.

Cao Xing asked happily: "Sarah, have you learned a new skill?"

Last time, Cao Xing gave Sarah an [Assassin's Manual (Orange)], which recorded many powerful skills.

Sarah smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, I got some insights during the battle last night, and then I went back home and practiced a few more times, and finally I learned this skill."

"Great! You are truly the strongest assassin!"

Cao Xing was generous with his praise.

This [Shadow Step] is also a stealth skill that can increase movement speed by 50%.

Combined with Sarah's [Invisible], she can truly become a top killer who comes and goes without a trace.

Sarah seemed embarrassed by his praise, her lips moved slightly, and then she lowered her head.

However, at this moment, Andrew's breath suddenly stopped.

He walked over somewhat dejectedly, and said with a guilty look on his face: "My Lord... I..."

Cao Xing was also stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that even with such a high success rate of [Heart of Advanced Power], Andrew would fail.

Speaking of which, Andrew failed once when he tried to break through the leader or the leader.

Yes, every transformation of his brought great help to Cao Xing.

Cao Xing smiled and comforted him: "Don't blame yourself, Andrew."

"In our East, there is an old saying that good things take time."

"Although you encountered some difficulties every time you transformed, you also gained great strength."

“It’s the same this time.”

Hearing Cao Xing's comfort, Andrew was stunned for a moment.

Then he said with emotion: "You are truly a generous and considerate lord."

Cao Xing smiled and said nothing more.

Then, he took out a three-meter-long black spear from his backpack.

It was the [Executioner's Spear] that Liu Muxue opened from the golden treasure chest last night.

Look at the properties.

[Executioner Spear (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Equipment level: above level 30]

[Attack power: 532~578]

[Additional special effects ①: Strength +80, Agility +60, Hit rate +20%]

[Additional special effect ②: Piercing Spear (When attacking the enemy's vital points, the penetration effect is increased by 30%, and the damage caused is increased by an additional 50%)]

[Additional special effect ③: Execution Spear (Active special effect, when activated, the next attack will increase the hit rate by 1%, the critical hit rate by 100%, and ignore 100 points of enemy armor)]

(Equipment introduction: In the name of the true god Balthazar, I now sentence you to death! - Slayer: Ihsan Ibarra)

...

Cao Xing's eyes lit up, "This weapon is great!"

"Especially the execution gun special effect, which basically has a 100% hit rate. It's very powerful!"

He looked at the two male dragonblood warriors and said, "Jonald, Josent, show me your weapons."

The two tall Norns did not hesitate at all.

A tall figure walked over and handed the spear in his hand to Cao Xing.

[Obtain: Norn's Army-Breaking Spear (Purple)]

[Obtain: Norn Standard Spear (Blue)]

Both of these weapons are level 20, with average attributes.

Jonard uses a purple spear, while Josent uses a blue one.

Cao Xing directly handed the [Executioner's Spear (Purple)] to Joecent.

Then he said: "I'll give you new weapons next time."

Hearing this, Jonard smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry about me. The help you have given me is already great enough."

And Joesonte took the new weapon with a respectful look on his face.

"Thank you for your gift. From now on, your orders will be the direction of my spear!"

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of territory member Joecent has been improved. Current loyalty: 95]

...

Seeing the system prompt, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Joecent's loyalty soared from 87 to 95, and will soon reach 100.

I took a look at Joecent's attributes.

[Ice Dragon Blood Fighter: Joecent]

[Race: Norn]

[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level Boss Creature)]

【Detailed properties: click to view】

...

"Not bad, not bad. Thirty-five thousand HP and 1600 attack points are already very strong for a third-level boss!"

This time, all of Cao Xing's subordinates were upgraded to level 30, and a lot of equipment could be arranged.

Then, Cao Xing took out a broken sword from his backpack. It had an extremely gorgeous appearance and a gem inlaid on the top.

The moment the broken sword appeared, everyone felt the majesty of a king from Cao Xing!

In an instant, everyone in the territory turned their eyes to Cao Xing.

Especially Queen Victoria.

Her pupils instantly became clear and she stared at the ancient sword!

And all the Ascalon warriors knelt on one knee on the spot.

They shouted excitedly: "Oh my God! This is actually the king's sword of our Ascalon Kingdom, Magdel!"

"This weapon actually appeared on the Lord. Is this God's will?"

Yaskin next to him also said excitedly: "Yes, this must be God's will!"

"This legendary weapon has chosen you, my lord, which means you will become our new king!"

"No wonder we feel a sense of intimacy and submission when we look at the Lord!"

"Let us meet the new king of Ascalon together!"
