Chapter 219 Golden Fruit, Get Rich!
"Moo-"
Dabai obeyed the command and moved forward with his strong elephant hooves.
Then, he stopped in front of the big tree.
Under Liu Muxue's curious gaze, Cao Xing stood up directly.
He stepped on Dabai's back and took out a [Catapult Hook (Blue)] from his backpack.
As Cao Xing pressed the switch on the cylinder.
"call out!"
A sound of breaking through the air was heard.
In an instant, the sharp claws shot out into the sky.
Then he firmly grasped one of the branches of the giant tree.
Sensing Cao Xing's intention, Liu Muxue said softly: "Axing, be careful..."
Renis, Sarah and others beside him said, "My Lord, let me do it!"
Elisa also volunteered, "My Lord, let me do it. Elisa is the best at climbing trees!"
Including Assam, Bron and others all signed up enthusiastically.
It can be seen that they are all very worried about Cao Xing's safety.
This scene made the four newly joined Nightmare Court archers look slightly surprised.
They could see that these people's concerns were genuine and not just flattery or posturing.
This also shows that the lord in front of them is deeply loved and respected by them.
Can make so many powerful beings so loyal to one person.
This made them curious about what kind of personal charm this lord had.
But Cao Xing smiled and said, "I'm just climbing a tree, why are you so nervous?"
"Don't worry, I used to climb trees when I was a kid, so I'm very good at it."
"Besides, I have the Holy Shield on me, so it won't matter even if I fall down."
Hearing this, Assam and others were stunned and did not insist.
Then they watched Cao Xing grab the vines and start climbing up.
Due to the humidity in the forest and the extremely low temperature, the trunk of the giant tree was also frozen with a layer of frost.
Very slippery.
Although Cao Xing was not worried about his own safety, he climbed up slowly and carefully.
When reaching an area about eighty meters high.
Cao Xing stepped on a thick tree trunk.
Since the [Ejection Hook] is not long enough, the vines have to be reeled in and ejected a second time to reach the top of the tree.
There is about a 30 second cooldown.
When all the vines were retracted, Cao Xing fired again at one of the tree trunks above his head!
"call out!"
The hook once again firmly hooked onto a thick branch at the top.
"Not bad, it seems my aim is pretty good." Cao Xing laughed.
Then he grabbed the vines and jumped up by stepping on the trunk of the giant tree.
Soon, they arrived at the top of the giant tree.
Because this tree is unusually tall, it is dozens of meters taller than other trees in the forest.
Therefore, Cao Xing’s current position is considered the highest point in this area.
Looking around, you can even see the entire forest.
The vast forest is covered with white snow, and everything is wrapped in silver.
The view was vast and the world seemed to be shrouded in this snow-white color.
The vast forest covering dozens of kilometers in radius is all of this hue.
Occasionally, you can see some white birds flying low in the sky.
Further away, the mountains are also covered with snow, like a beautiful ink painting.
This scene looks just like a CG scene in a game.
Cao Xing couldn't help but exclaimed: "This beautiful scenery is absolutely amazing!"
"It's a pity that it's too cold..."
He turned on the system's built-in camera function and started taking pictures of his surroundings.
"Crack! Click!"
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly noticed that there was a place about tens of kilometers away from him.
That is the central area of the forest, where some buildings can be vaguely seen.
It looked like some ancient city walls, and through the dense trees, the outlines of the tops of several towers could be seen.
"Walls and towers? What the hell?"
"How can there be such a thing in the forest?"
There was a questioning look in his eyes.
But because the distance was too far, Cao Xing couldn't see what it was exactly.
He shook his head and put these thoughts behind him.
"Forget it, let's just ignore it for now. We have to continue exploring the Witch Forest anyway. We'll know when we get closer."
"Now let's see what these red fruits are."
So he grabbed the branch and carefully came to a red fruit.
This fruit is as big as an adult's fist and has a crystal-like color all over. It looks more like some kind of exquisite work of art.
However, there was still an extremely powerful aura emanating from the fruit.
At the same time, the properties of this thing appeared in front of Cao Xing.
[Blood Crystal Fruit (Gold): Magical Plant]
【Quality: Treasure】
[Effect: After consuming a whole blood essence fruit for the first time, you can increase your strength by 1 points. This effect can only be effective once.]
(Note: An extremely rare fruit. The blood crystal fruit tree needs 17 years to grow, and then bears fruit every years. Eating it can greatly increase strength.
However, because the power contained in it is too strong, if a being with a low physique consumes it, there will be strong side effects, and it can only be consumed by creatures of at least the third level.)
...
When seeing the above attributes, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank!
He exclaimed on the spot: "Fuck! Golden fruit!"
"After eating it, my strength increased by 100 points. This effect is too strong!"
At this moment, even his breathing became a little rapid.
You know, this was his first time coming into contact with the golden magic fruit!
For those melee professions, this is a artifact-level existence.
Just eating one of them can increase your attack power by at least a hundred points!
He took a quick glance and found that there were 23 blood crystal fruits hanging on the tree!
What an amazing fortune this is, it almost goes without saying!
"I'm rich, I'm rich! I'm really rich now, haha!"
Cao Xing was very surprised.
Without any hesitation, he picked all 23 [Blood Crystal Fruits] from the tree.
[Obtain: Blood Crystal Fruit (Gold)*23]
...
The moment the fruit fell into his pocket, Cao Xing felt relieved.
With excitement, he slid down the tree quickly.
Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone.
Cao Xing took out one of the fruits.
Assam felt the aura emanating from it and exclaimed, "What a strong aura."
"I feel a strong attraction towards this fruit."
Rab next to him echoed: "Me too, I feel that after eating this fruit, I will have even more powerful strength!"
Cao Xing smiled and said, "You are right, this is a fruit that can increase strength."
"After eating it, your strength will be greatly enhanced!"
Hearing this, the melee professions on the field suddenly showed eager looks in their eyes.
As for long-range professions such as Isabelle and Hilda, I am somewhat uninterested in them.
Cao Xing was not stingy and directly took out a large amount of [Blood Crystal Fruit] from his backpack.
For melee professions such as Liu Muxue, Sarah, Assam, Renis, Elisa, and two dragon blood fighters.
Including Baymax and Volibear, give one to each of them.
A total of 10 [Blood Crystal Fruits] were distributed.
Everyone held the fist-sized fruit in their hands.
Cao Xing said directly: "Okay, eat it."
Hearing this, everyone on the field started to eat voraciously without any hesitation.
As the sound of fruit chewing was heard, these melee professions finished eating the whole fruit.
The next moment, system prompts appeared one after another.
[Your territory member: Renis Hawkeye took the blood crystal fruit, strength attribute +100, remaining number of uses: 0]
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance took the Blood Crystal Fruit, Strength attribute +100, remaining number of uses: 0]
【your……】
...
now.
Those who ate the fruit felt a warm current flowing in their stomach!
And this heat quickly spread throughout the body!
Little Elisa’s eyes widened and she exclaimed, “Woo wow! Elisa feels so hot, I seem to be growing taller!”
Tong Chuchu next to her said innocently: "Sister Elisa, you are already past the age of growth, you won't grow any taller~"
Hearing this, Elisa’s face suddenly fell.
“Wow… How could this happen? Elisa wants to grow taller…”
She squatted on the ground, looking very depressed.
Tong Chuchu patted her back and comforted her in a low voice.
The others all had looks of surprise on their faces because they all felt a surge in power!
Cao Xing was also very satisfied.
Because of 1 point of strength attribute, it can increase 1.5~3 points of physical attack power according to the growth of each profession.
In other words, these 100 points of strength can at least increase their attack power by 150 to 300 points.
This is almost equivalent to the upgrade of half a weapon!
Therefore, it is almost self-evident how powerful this improvement is for these power professions.
And those in the magic professions also had envy on their faces.
However, they also saw that Cao Xing himself did not eat this fruit.
After all, the strength attribute has no effect on them.
As for the four Nightmare Court archers, although there was desire in their eyes, they didn't say much.
Cao Xing looked at the 13 fruits left in his backpack and did not distribute them to them.
He said: "Those who have obtained these fruits have all made contributions to our territory."
"If you perform well, I will not only reward you with blood crystal fruit, but also with the souls that can transform you into elites and leaders." "I think everyone can prove this for me."
Assam was the first to respond: "Yes, we all received help from the Lord and improved little by little."
Braum raised his shield and said excitedly: "A few days ago, I was just an ordinary first-level shield guard, but in just a few days, I have gained the power I have now."
"All of this is thanks to the help of the Lord."
Others also nodded.
Hearing this, a glimmer of light gradually emerged in the deep pupils of the four archers.
They nodded slightly and said, "We understand, your Excellency."
Then, Cao Xing led everyone deeper into the forest.
After feeling the terrifying improvement of [Blood Crystal Fruit], everyone on the field became more motivated!
As we go deeper, the visibility becomes lower and lower, and the environment becomes increasingly gloomy and cold.
But this cannot dilute their enthusiasm for exploration.
Including the four Nightmare Vine Archers, they became full of fighting spirit because of Cao Xing’s previous words.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "This kind of blood crystal fruit has a rather harsh growing environment. It takes two hundred years for a blood crystal tree to grow, and then 17 years to produce a round of blood crystal fruit."
"This time, I was lucky enough to run into him."
"Sure enough, when opening up these high-level areas, there are always unexpected surprises."
"I just don't know if there is a fruit that increases spirit or agility?"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing became even more excited about the upcoming exploration journey.
Boom!dong dong!
The group continued to move forward. With the two behemoths, Baymax and Volibear, leading the way in front, they had basically no obstruction.
Half an hour later.
Cao Xing glanced at the map.
They were almost forty kilometers deep into the Witchwood.
We are almost reaching the deepest part of the Witch Forest.
The monsters here are all above level 35.
However, for Cao Xing, as long as there is no fifth-level monster, it basically poses no threat to him.
And at this moment, Cao Xing stopped again.
Because he saw a towering tree in front of him, which was over 100 meters high and had a trunk diameter of three meters!
Next to it, there are many giant trees with the same height of fifty or sixty meters and equally thick trunks.
He clearly felt a faint sense of danger coming from the giant tree in front of him.
“Is it a human-faced tree?”
A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
Although they have dealt with the human-faced tree many times.
But this monster, under normal circumstances, is no different from an ordinary giant tree.
So Cao Xing is not easy to identify either.
He glanced at Renis next to him.
She immediately understood what Cao Xing meant.
Just pull the [Horned Eagle Bow] and shoot an arrow.
"call out!"
"Tuk!"
【-3027! 】
The arrow hit, causing critical damage.
Just as Cao Xing expected.
The moment the giant tree in front of me was attacked, its branches suddenly folded together.
"Crash!"
At the same time, the frozen soil beneath the giant tree bulged up and down, as if there were many powerful earth dragons moving around underneath.
The giant tree turned around, revealing a pale human face on its trunk.
"Intruders...die..."
At the same time, as this giant tree moved, the surrounding giant trees turned around one after another.
At least forty or fifty human-faced trees waved their branches at the same time.
Cao Xing casually glanced at their attributes.

[Bond: Human-Faced Tree (20 activated)]
(Introduction: An ancient human-faced tree that has existed for hundreds of years. It has strong vitality and excellent combat power.)
...
"Wow, they are all fourth-level human-faced trees!"
"One leader, two chiefs, five elites, and more than forty ordinary human-faced trees!"
Obviously, this was the most powerful wave of enemies Cao Xing had encountered since entering the Witch Forest.
But he didn't feel scared, but surprised!
"Great, I finally encountered a leader-level human-faced tree!"
"As long as we kill it, the tree heart in its body will accelerate the growth of the Pale Tree!"
"As for those leader-level human-faced trees, their tree cores can also be given to Dabai and Wally!"
With an expectant look in his eyes, Cao Xing jumped directly off the mammoth's back.
Then he quickly commanded: "Bron, Assam, Jonard, Josent, Rab, go ahead."
"Andrew, switch to the ancient tree form, and you go and help too."
"All ranged players, start attacking with full force!"
After receiving Cao Xing's order, everyone instantly entered combat status.
Braum took the lead and directly confronted the fourth-order leader-level human-faced tree!
However, the attack of this human-faced tree was extremely violent!
The branches attacked madly like dozens of spirit snakes.
call out! Phew!
"Crack! Click!"
The three layers of holy shield on Braum were broken in an instant!
The remaining branches whipped Bron.
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
Braum's health was decreasing bit by bit, and then it was raised bit by bit by [Ice Healing] and [Life Bloom].
At this moment, Cao Xing quickly gave the order: "Wally, Tiansheng Zhenluo, go help Bron deal with this human-faced tree."
After receiving Cao Xing's order, Wally jumped high and let out a beast-like roar!
"Roar!"
In mid-air, the terrifying power of thunder and lightning began to burst out from its body!
Then, a huge figure, carrying tremendous thunder, suddenly jumped to the side of the human-faced tree.
"Boom!"
It was like a human-shaped lightning descending, with terrifying lightning bursting out!
It instantly covered the area within 30 meters.
At least a dozen human-faced trees were covered by this wave of attacks, causing widespread damage.
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
……
A long string of terrifying damage numbers appeared!
The damage coefficient of 274%, combined with Wally's terrifying attack, caused up to damage.
Moreover, all the human-faced trees were affected by the electric current.
He stood there stiffly.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was delighted, "Dabai, you should also go to Wally's side and fight against the leader of the human-faced tree together."
He raised his staff and quickly gave instructions to others.
"Isabel, Hilda, each of you will deal with a leader-level human-faced tree, and the battle must be resolved quickly!"
"Jonard, Joecent, and Lab, the other five elite human-faced trees are left to you."
"Everyone else, do your best to kill those ordinary human-faced trees!"
After receiving Cao Xing's order, everyone started to act.
Isabel and Hilda looked at each other, and seemed to see the competitive spirit in each other's eyes.
"Humph!"
"whispering sound!"
After saying that, the two girls separated and quickly found their opponents.
Looking at the fourth-order boss-level human-faced tree in front of them, the two powerful women did not show any fear. Instead, there was a surging fighting spirit in their eyes!
It seems as if we are going to decide who is better today.
