Chapter 214: Meeting Yao Yiming again, the basis for cooperation
"Let us meet the new king of Ascalon together!"

After saying that, all the Ascalon warriors saluted Cao Xing.

[Because you have gained the recognition of the ancient sword, the loyalty of territory member: Yaskin has been improved. Current loyalty: 100]

(Loyalty is full, and the other party will now unconditionally execute any of your orders.)
[Because you have gained the recognition of the ancient sword, the loyalty of Filippo, a member of the territory, has been increased. Current loyalty: 96]

[Because you have been recognized by the ancient sword, the loyalty of the territory member Franz has been improved. The current loyalty is 100]

【Because of you……】

...

A long list of system prompts appears.

The loyalty of the one hundred and two Ascalon warriors on the field has skyrocketed!

Several of them even reached 100 loyalty.

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that just taking out this legendary weapon would have such an effect.

Then, he smiled and said, "Everyone, please stand up. I am not your new king."

"And as you can see, the weapon has broken."

Hearing this, Yaskin gradually raised his head and said, "We do feel that the power of this weapon is a little weak."

"The complete Magdel can only be controlled by beings above level eight."

"Moreover, each legendary weapon is bound to its user and cannot be used by anyone else."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes moved slightly.

Level eight means above level 70.

In other words, is the original level of this weapon 70?

But now, due to the fracture, its level has dropped drastically.

Even the legendary binding function is invalid.

This is a good thing for Cao Xing, as he can use this legendary weapon so soon.

Yaskin continued, "Although it is broken, the weapon appears in your hand, which means it has recognized you."

"And the recognition of the Ancient Sword represents the recognition of all of us Ascalonians!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing said nothing more and asked all the Ascalon warriors to get up from the ground.

He himself took a look at the properties of the ancient sword.

[Ancient Sword-Magdel (Broken)]

[To prevent book friends from forgetting, click to view detailed properties]

...

Although it’s not the first time I’ve seen it.

But Cao Xing still couldn't help but sigh at the power of this weapon!

Over 1700 attack power, plus +200 to all attributes.

These two attributes alone are enough to crush gold equipment and even epic equipment of the same level!

It can allow any third or fourth level being to obtain extremely strong attribute enhancements!
Moreover, although most of the special effects of this weapon can no longer be used, there is still one special effect that can be used, that is [Sword of Judgment].

The above description is a bit vague, and I don't know the specific lethality of the sword energy, but the damage coefficient is still very good.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to give this legendary broken sword to Liu Muxue first.

After all, Assam already has the level 20 golden weapon [King's Blade].

Moreover, this weapon's overall attributes are increased by +200, which can greatly increase Liu Muxue's gain capabilities.

"Mu Xue, you take it."

Hearing this, a look of uncertainty flashed in Liu Muxue's eyes.

"This... maybe we should give it to the Assam Knight..."

"This weapon is really too valuable..."

But Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Asam's future weapon is the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, which is a complete legendary weapon, much stronger than yours."

"If it doesn't work, when you encounter a strong enemy, you can just give him this weapon."

According to Yaskin, all legendary weapons are bound to exclusive users and cannot be traded.

However, now, because the sword is broken and the authority is invalid, Cao Xing can give it to them to use at will, and they can all gain attribute bonuses.

After hearing this, Liu Muxue no longer refused.

She took the legendary weapon from Cao Xing's hand.

this moment.

He holds the [Paladin Shield] in his left hand and the [Ancient Sword - Magdel] in his right hand.

Plus her gorgeous outfit.

At this moment, Liu Muxue's aura had reached an extremely powerful level.

There was even a royal aura emanating from her.

The group of Ascalon warriors exclaimed: "The Lord's wife's temperament has changed, it's like a queen has descended!"

"Yes, this is also the most beautiful queen I have ever seen."

"Haha! I want to follow the Lord's wife into battle!"

Listening to the praises from the crowd, Liu Muxue blushed slightly and lowered her head shyly.

Even Cao Xing couldn't help but admire.

Then, he looked at Liu Muxue's attributes.

[Survivor: Liu Muxue]

[Race: Blue Star Human Race]

[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level Aurora Knight)]

【Detailed properties: click to view】

...

"hiss!"

After reading Liu Muxue's attributes, Cao Xing took a breath.

No wonder he felt a sense of threat from Liu Muxue!

This attribute is too terrifying!

The health is about to break through 40,000, and the attack is 2,500.

This directly crushes the boss creatures of the same level!

The most important thing is that after Liu Muxue's attributes are greatly improved, the Blessing of Courage can directly increase the attack power by more than 800...

The concept of this is almost self-explanatory. Even if it is a level 30 golden weapon, the added attack power is only this much.

This is equivalent to any level 1 citizen, as long as he is given the [Blessing of Courage], his current attack power is enough to surpass that of a level 20 elite.

"Too perverted..."

Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Asam couldn't help but admire, "I sensed a dangerous aura from the Lord's wife. If I fight with all my strength, I may not be the Lord's wife's opponent now."

Bron on the side laughed and said, "Haha! Assam's position as the first knight in our territory is no longer secure!"

Liu Muxue felt a little embarrassed by the increasing praise from everyone and lowered her head completely.

And Cao Xing was also very satisfied.

Then he asked Liu Muxue to cast [Blessing of Courage] again.

Anyway, this skill is a group BUFF, which is very convenient.

As Liu Muxue raised the broken sword [Magdel], an extremely strong holy light condensed on her sword.

The next moment, this ball of holy light burst out and fell on everyone on the field.

Cao Xing instantly felt that his attack power had become much stronger!

Magic attack power directly breaks through 2600!

Sarah even reached a level of 4600, which is terrifyingly powerful!
It can be said that everyone's strength has skyrocketed!

Cao Xing nodded contentedly.

So, he prepared to take people out.

Just before he went out, he seemed to remember something and shouted.

"neat."

At this moment, the little girl who was standing quietly next to Volibear looked at Cao Xing with a confused look on her face.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Tell your mother that you have to go out with me today."

Tong Chuchu had already reached the maximum level of the second stage last night, and used the [Heart of Intermediate Power] to successfully break through to the third stage.

She is now a level 25, third-order mechanic.

The strength is still very strong.

It just so happened that Cao Xing was also planning to train her so that she could be useful in the future when facing a large-scale war.

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the little girl in front of him.

"Really... Can you really take Chu Chu out, big brother?"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Of course."

"Hooray! I'll go tell mom right now!"

After saying that, Tong Chuchu trotted into the sewing shop and went to tell Xia Yanni the news.

Cao Xing called Ilena again and asked her to keep an eye on the peasant woman "Mpo" carefully.

Now Ilena is also a level three elite creature. With the blessing of a set of BUFFs, her strength is still relatively strong.

In addition, there are two centaurs, three female dragon-blood fighters and other powerful beings in the territory.

Even if the peasant woman was very strong, she couldn't cause much of a storm.

After hearing this, Ilena spit out her scarlet tongue and chuckled, "My Lord, I will remember your instructions."

"When you come back, remember to give me a reward~"

Cao Xing readily agreed: "No problem, today I will leave you a leader's soul so that you can advance again."

However, Ilena looked at Cao Xing with her narrow eyes.

Obviously, the reward she wanted was not as simple as a soul.

Ilena didn't say much, just chuckled, then twisted her snake tail and left.

At this moment, Sabina timidly walked over and said, "Lord, please arrange my work for today."

"As agreed, I will make every effort to contribute to the territory in the next three months."

And Cao Xing looked at her skill bar.

Obviously, Sabina's most valuable thing is her [Advanced Poison Mastery].

Cao Xing thought for a moment and asked, "I know that in addition to your medical skills, your poison skills are even more advanced."

"What exactly can this poison technique do?"

Sabina wasn't surprised to hear this.

After all, she had shown it once last night.

She replied softly, "Poison techniques... are to use some materials to create some highly toxic potions, pills, or even powders."

"Including hallucinogenic toxins, neurotoxins, etc...."

"These potions can be consumed by humans or applied to weapons to cause more damage to the enemy."

"I have many recorded poison formulas in my mind, and I also saw a medicine workshop in your territory..."

"If I have the materials, I can make a batch of poison for you..."

After listening to Sabina's explanation, Cao Xing understood the role of this [Advanced Poison Mastery].

In other words, she is actually also an alchemist.

But only poison can be made.

The production of these poisons requires various raw materials, so they cannot be produced at present.

Cao Xing nodded suddenly, and then said, "Okay, I understand."

"No one is sick right now, and there's nothing we need you to do. Go help Dahua and the others in the cafeteria."

Hearing this, Sabina nodded solemnly.

"As ordered."

After saying that, she left.

everything's ready.

Even Tong Chuchu ran over excitedly and joined the team.

At this moment, the gates of the territory were wide open.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Cao Xing's group consisted of fourteen people, plus a mammoth and a snow bear.

They left the territory in a mighty manner.

...

...

Boom!dong dong!

On the vast snowfield, everyone ran as fast as they could.

Since their goal this time is very clear, that is to go directly to the Witch Forest.

So I am familiar with the route.

The crowd moved forward very quickly.

The speed reached over 80 kilometers per hour.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue ride on a mammoth.

Tong Chuchu and Elisa, two petite girls, lay on Volibear's back, holding onto its fur tightly for fear of falling off.

However, after discovering that Volibear's back was stable even when he was running wildly, the two girls gradually felt relieved.

They looked at each other and then smiles appeared on their faces.

The clear laughter of young girls and little girls rang out in the team.

Elisa grabbed the hair on Wally's back and said, "Little Wally, come on, run forward. Let's surpass the Lord together!"

At this time, Tong Chuchu next to her said, "Sister Elisa, you can't..."

"Big brother said we should follow behind him and not run in front of him..."

Hearing this, Elisa also recalled something and exclaimed: “Oh, yes, I almost forgot!”

"Hehe, luckily Xiao Chuchu is here, otherwise I would be punished by the Lord again."

Tong Chuchu also had an innocent smile on her face.

While the two girls were talking in low voices, they had already advanced seven or eight kilometers.

At this time, Cao Xing seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Let's go in a different direction."

After saying that, he controlled Dabai and rushed in another direction.

Although everyone was confused, they didn't ask any more questions.

Follow behind the mammoth and move forward at full speed.

Soon, they came to a snowy field covered with snow.

Ahead, a territory of survivors appeared.

It is not large in scale, surrounded by a wooden fence, and contains three primary elemental arrow towers and two sentry towers.

The bonfire in the territory was burning fiercely, and it seemed to have just reached level 6.

Some polar people are working hard.

When seeing this territory, a familiar feeling appeared in Liu Muxue's eyes.

"Axing... this seems to be the territory of the family we rescued last time."

Cao Xing replied: "Yes, it is Yao Yiming's territory."

"He gave us a few seeds of ancient war trees last time, and later told me a location."

"This neighbor is pretty nice, so I came over to see if I could give him some help."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue was slightly stunned, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

In fact, in addition to this idea, Cao Xing had another purpose for coming here.

That is to see if we can unite with Yao Yiming's territory to take away all the rewards for the first and second place in this ranking.

The previous idea was that Cao Xing would provide combat support to other survivor lords, and then after the other party took the reward, they would trade it to himself.

But this requires a survivor lord who can be trusted.

Cao Xing thought about it and found that among the people he knew, only Yao Yiming and Ji Xinyue had decent character.

So this time I came here, I wanted to first see how strong Yao Yiming's territory is, and then make other plans.

However, they did not approach immediately because a system prompt appeared in front of Cao Xing.

[Attention! You are approaching the territory of other survivors. If you do not obtain access rights, you will be attacked by the other party's elemental arrow tower...]

at the same time.

Seeing the tall mammoth, a dozen polar people and five or six imperial soldiers who were working in Yao Yiming's territory all grabbed their weapons.

They looked at the people a kilometer away vigilantly.

Four figures armed with weapons, ready for battle, emerged from the lord's hut.

And when they saw the mammoth outside the territory and the human figure on its back.

The wariness on his face disappeared instantly, and turned into surprise.

"Boss Cao Xing!"

"Sister Mu Xue!"

Yao Yiming and his sister Yao Ying exclaimed at the same time!
Without any hesitation, they gave Cao Xing and others access rights.

Cao Xing and others came to Yao Yiming's territory unhindered.

"Boss Cao Xing, why are you here?"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by here, so I came to see how you are doing."

He did not immediately offer his ideas.

After all, according to his idea, a large amount of combat support is needed to enable these survivors to have the strength to fight against the challenge of the Ice Dragon Horn.

However, if Cao Xing expels his soldiers from the territory, not only will their loyalty be reset, but the effect of [Eternal Power] will also disappear.

So at the moment, he hasn't come up with any good solution.

When Yao Yiming heard Cao Xing's question, he did not hide anything and told Cao Xing basically everything about the strength of his territory.

Recently.

All members of their family have broken through to the second level, and Yao Yiming has even reached level 14.

In addition, he also has three second-level imperial archers and two imperial warriors under his command.

For an individual's territory, the strength is already pretty good.

At least it should be no problem to deal with one or two ice nests.

After understanding this, Cao Xing nodded secretly.

Then he praised, "You guys are doing pretty well."

Hearing Cao Xing's praise, Yao Yiming smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "It's... It's not bad, thanks to Boss Cao Xing who saved us last time, otherwise our family's territory would have been destroyed by the Ice Nest long ago."

"Besides, I can't compare with Boss Cao Xing for sure."

Yao Ying beside him also said excitedly: "Yes, yes! Now Boss Cao Xing is already the number one celebrity in District 17!"

"You actually used the medium-level Ice Dragon Horn and gained more than a thousand points in one go!"

"Now the entire District 17 is speculating on how Boss Cao Xing did it. It's amazing!"

Cao Xing's soaring points last night really shocked everyone and aroused everyone's curiosity.

Of course they didn't know how Cao Xing did it.

If there is no [Eternal Power] talent, according to Cao Xing's estimation, a territory of at least two thousand people is needed to have a hope of withstanding the impact of a medium-sized Ice Dragon's Horn.

However, it is only hope.

If actual fighting breaks out, there will definitely be a large number of casualties.

Obviously, no legion would be able to have so many fighters in a short period of time.

The issue of population ceiling alone cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

Cao Xing smiled and said nothing more, then took out a whole piece of silver salmon meat from his backpack.
"Boss Cao Xing...what is this?"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "A piece of fish meat can increase attributes, you guys take it first."

After hearing this, Yao Yiming tentatively took it over.

But when he saw the attributes and name above, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Yao Yiming knew very well how precious this fish meat was.

Yesterday, the 17th zone channel was going crazy because of this fish meat!

Now in the market, 100g of silver salmon meat has been sold at a sky-high price!
But now, Cao Xing directly gave them a whole piece, which was equivalent to 10 portions.

He suddenly felt the fish in his hand was extremely hot.

He quickly said, "Boss Cao Xing, this fish is too valuable... We can't take it..."

Cao Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing, take it."

"Just as a thank you for the information above. Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

After hearing the latter sentence, Yao Yiming's eyes moved slightly and he stopped refusing.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Cao Xing took his men away.

Yao Yiming's family looked at Cao Xing and his friends' backs with gratitude on their faces.

After they left, Yao Ying stared at the fish in Yao Yiming's hand and her saliva almost flowed out.

"Brother! This is actually silver salmon meat, and it's a whole piece. We are rich!"

Yao Yiming shook his head. "What kind of fortune? We need to keep this precious fish for ourselves. We definitely can't sell it."

Yao Ying nodded happily and said, "That's right, we will eat this kind of fish meat ourselves to improve its properties!"

"Besides, I heard from them in the chat channel that the meat of silver salmon is extremely tender and delicious. I have been wanting to try it for a long time!"

Hearing this, the whole family laughed.

At this time, Yao Ying said, "Brother, Boss Cao Xing suddenly gave us such precious fish meat. Does he want us to help him with something?"

After hearing this, Yao Yiming remembered Cao Xing's last words and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"We don't know yet, but if Boss Cao Xing really needs our help, we must fully cooperate with him."

"After all, we are his neighbors and may have dealings with him in the future. It's not that we are trying to curry favor with him, but it will be of great benefit to us to have a good relationship with such a strong man."

"Uh-huh!"

Yao Ying and her family all agreed with Yao Yiming's decision.

...

...

In the vast white snowfield, more than a dozen figures were moving forward at a constant speed.

There were dense footprints left on the snowy ground.

It was Cao Xing and his group.

Soon, they arrived near the Leyte River.

This is also the largest glacier in the Snowfield.

The width of the water area reaches four or five kilometers.

It was in this vicinity that Cao Xing encountered the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce’s convoy.

However, there was no sign of any caravan on the river today.

At this time, Cao Xing was looking at the thick ice on the Leyte River and thinking.

"The Leyte River runs through the entire Snowstorm Plain. I wonder if there are any rare fish species here?"

Cao Xing took a look at the [Crazy King Fishing Rod] in his backpack and was eager to try it.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Forget it."

"I don't have any bait now, so I can't catch any valuable big fish."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing prepared to lead everyone forward.

And just as they were preparing to cross the Leyte River.

Suddenly, they saw a half-undressed, panic-stricken woman running towards them at a high speed.

Behind this woman, there were four or five fierce-looking men wearing militia uniforms and holding long swords.

When the woman saw Cao Xing, she walked faster as if she had seen a savior.

And he ran and shouted.

"Help... help..."

Hearing the woman's cry for help, everyone on the scene straightened their expressions and became alert.

As she approached, Cao Xing also noticed something unusual about this woman.
