Chapter 221 Blood and Holy Light, everyone is promoted!

As the fourth creature recruited by Cao Xing, Renis can be considered an old employee.

He is also a die-hard fan.

So, according to the order, Cao Xing decided to give this soul to her.

"Take this soul and I wish you a smooth breakthrough."

Renis took it with gratitude.

When she was outside, she was generally serious and remained extremely vigilant even after the battle.

However, now, when he took the leader's soul from Cao Xing.

A bright smile appeared on the woman's face.

At this moment, it is like a flower blooming in the snow, emitting dazzling light.

Even the dark and cold environment around her seemed to become colorful again with her smile.

Cao Xing was a little stunned.

"Thank you... Lord."

"Cough cough!"

Cao Xing coughed twice, quickly turned his gaze away and said, "Nothing, use it to start the breakthrough."

"Okay, Lord Lord!"

After saying that, Renis slapped this leader-level soul into her body.

Now, all three of them have entered a state of transformation.

Cao Xing also has a leader and three elite souls in his hand.

Glancing at the people on the field.

Only the four newly recruited Nightmare Court archers can be used.

So he said, "Mengma, Menglita, Mengna... come here."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, four slender women with their bodies entangled by vines walked over at the same time.

Cao Xing didn't say much and directly divided the four souls.

The four of them stared at the souls in their hands, seemingly not knowing what to say.

"My Lord... this..."

Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "I said before that you will be rewarded only if you make contributions."

"In the battle just now, you performed well and obeyed orders, so these souls are given to you."

Hear this.

The four Nightmare Court archers looked at each other.

Then, they simultaneously stretched out their right hands, placed them between their eyebrows, and prayed.

"May you have a sweet dream, my generous lord..."

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of your territory member: Mengma has been improved. Current loyalty: 72]

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of your territory member: Mona has been improved. Current loyalty: 69]

【Because of you……】

...

The loyalty of the four newcomers all reached above 65.

With this level of loyalty, there is basically no rebellion.

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Then, he fed two [Boss-level Tree of Life Hearts] to Baymax and Wally.

So many people have entered a state of transformation.

Next, just wait quietly.

First, there were the Holy Light Priest and the Blood Spider Queen who were the first to use the Heart of Power.

A strong sacred aura suddenly burst out from Isabel.

"Buzz!"

A powerful holy light burst out, instantly illuminating the dark witch forest.

At the same time, Hilda was not to be outdone.

A strong blood energy rose from her!
Suddenly, two different colors appeared in this witch forest covered with ice and snow.

One side is a divine golden color.

One side is bloody red.

Holy light and blood compete with each other!

[Your territory member: Isabel Gospel has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-order leader-level creature, with basic attributes increased by 100%]

...

[Your territory member: Hilda Bloodkiss has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-level leader creature. The basic attributes have increased by 100%]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing was delighted, "Great, great, both were successful!"

At this moment, the two women who had completed their transformation restrained their aura.

Like two most beautiful women in the world, they walked towards Cao Xing slowly.

And Cao Xing also quickly glanced at their attributes.

[Holy Light Priest: Isabel Gospel]

[Race: Human Race]

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

【Detailed properties: click to view】

...

[Blood Spider Queen: Hilda Blood Kiss]

[Race: Blood Spider]

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

【Detailed properties: click to view】

...

"Yes, we have over 3,000 attack power. With the blessing of courage, we can easily break 4,000."

"And in comparison, Hilda's attributes are more comprehensive than Isabel's."

Cao Xing thought happily.

The two women came up to him and said with smiles on their faces, "My Lord, I succeeded."

Cao Xing nodded and encouraged: "Not bad, you are all great, work hard, and I will continue to help you improve in the future."

When they heard Cao Xing's promise, bright light flashed in the beautiful pupils of the two girls.

"Thank you, your Excellency."

Isabel bowed gracefully, with an extremely dignified manner.

Meanwhile, good news emerges again.

At this moment, Renis, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.

Like two sharp arrows, it gives people a stinging sensation.

"Buzz!"

An equally powerful force burst out from Renis's body!

[Your territory member: Renis Hawkeye has successfully transformed and has become a third-order leader-level creature. The basic attributes have increased by 30%, and a new skill has been acquired: Hunting Heart]

[Hunting Heart: After being activated, it increases the critical strike rate by 50%, the hit rate by 50%, and every 10 arrows shot, the next attack will cause a blast effect, causing 5% damage to enemies within 200 meters. The skill lasts for 120 seconds and has a cooldown of 5 minutes.]

(Note: This skill puts a heavy burden on the user after it is activated. After the duration ends, the user will fall into a weak state for 100 seconds, with attack speed reduced by 80% and attack power reduced by 30%...)
...

See the system prompt.

Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Wow! This [Hunting Heart] actually directly increases the critical hit rate and hit rate by 50%. It's a bit too powerful!"

"And the most important thing is that this is a status skill, which means that there is a high probability that it can be blessed by the power of eternity!"

"Just like the skill of those dragon blood warriors, dragon blood extraction, it has no effect at all."

He couldn't wait to check out Renis's attributes after her breakthrough.

【Ascalon Archer: Rhaenys Hawkeye】

[Race: Human Race]

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

【Detailed properties: click to view】

...

"Great, great! The basic critical hit rate is actually 53%!"

Plus the 50% critical strike rate bonus of [Hunting Eye].

In other words, all of Renis's next attacks will be critical hits!

Combined with the terrifying attack speed, Renis's damage will undergo a qualitative change.

Once she breaks through to the fourth level.

Maybe I can make a leap and compete with Sarah and Andrew for the title of the top output!
The improvement of these people alone made Cao Xing's trip worthwhile.

Not to mention, he also decomposed a large number of carnivorous plant corpses on the way and obtained many precious materials.

Cao Xing exclaimed, "Renisse, congratulations."

"Now, use your new skills for me."

Hearing this, Renis also had a gentle smile on her face and nodded slightly.

The next moment, a burst of red energy burst out from her body.

It's like red lightning, giving people a feeling that it's unapproachable.

[Your territory member: Renis Hawkeye used the skill [Hunting Heart], which has become permanent due to the influence of the talent [Eternal Power]]
(Note: In the permanent state, you can exit and enter the [Hunting Heart] state at any time.)
...

very good!

As Cao Xing expected, this skill also became permanent.

Now, the only ones left on the field were the few Nightmare Court archers who hadn't broken through.

And Cao Xing was also waiting patiently.

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Monros successfully advanced to a third-level elite creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Summon Nightmare Dog]

[Your territory member: Mengma successfully transformed into a third-order boss-level creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill: Nightmare Clone]

[Nightmare Clone: ​​Create two clones on the spot that inherit 50% of the original's attributes and imitate the original's aura to assist in combat. The clones last for 120 seconds. Cooldown time: 5 minutes]

...

Seeing the attributes of this new skill, Cao Xing was amazed again.

"Yes, this clone skill combined with the elite skill: [Summon Nightmare Dog] is equivalent to having four more combat units at once."

"Once I have more elite nightmare archers under my command, I can rely on my numbers to overwhelm the enemy."

Cao Xing smiled.

Two of the four archers succeeded in breaking through, and two failed. This probability is pretty good.

Finally, there are Baymax and Volibear.

After eating the boss-level heart of the tree of life, they also gained a 6% increase in health.

Along the way.

Almost everyone was promoted, causing Cao Xing's strength to soar.

There was excitement on everyone's face.

People like Jonard and Josent who have not yet been promoted are not in a hurry at all.

Because they believe that the lord will not forget them.

So Cao Xing continued to lead his men to explore the forest.

After walking about three or four kilometers.

Cao Xing stopped again because he saw a familiar figure appear in front of him.

The whole body is covered with shiny black scales and is tens of meters long.

It's that black snake!
At this moment, it is entangled in a tree, seemingly resting with its eyes closed, or waiting for prey.

Its huge size immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the field.

"I encountered this snake again."

Cao Xing's heart moved slightly, and his eyes instantly locked on the other party.

At the same time, the big snake also noticed Cao Xing and others.

Its long and narrow snake eyes shrank instantly, and bursts of black air suddenly emanated from its body.

"Ready to fight!"

Following Cao Xing's voice, everyone entered combat mode again.

At this moment, the black snake slid directly down from the tree, and then activated the [Dark Body] skill, with bursts of terrifying black air erupting from its body!

Just when everyone thought that the black snake was about to rush over, it turned its head without hesitation and headed deep into the jungle.
Like a running train, it ran away...

It ran so decisively, without any drag.

This scene completely stunned Cao Xing.

"Fuck, why did you just run away?"

"Didn't they say that this guy has been corrupted by the dark aura and lost his mind?"

Cao Xing was even ready to fight a big battle with the black snake!
At this time, Cao Xing suddenly came back to his senses.

"Let's chase!"

During the previous encounter, he had already set his sights on the meat of the black snake.

It was caused trouble by the Church of Light before, but now, Cao Xing will not let it go easily.

After saying that, Cao Xing jumped directly onto Dabai's back, took the lead, and chased after him at high speed.

Behind, Assam riding on the Frostwolf and Volibear carrying Elisa and Tong Chuchu on his back also started running wildly.

"Boom! Boom!"

The entire forest was shaking because of the noise of the two giant beasts running wildly.

The speed of Cao Xing and his group is extremely terrifying. After all, there are two states of acceleration: [Queen's Will] and [Queen's Domain].

After chasing for about one or two kilometers, he saw the black snake again.

"Very good, I will definitely catch you this time!"

Just when Cao Xing was about to take out the [Ejection Hook] to drag it.

A hint of fear appeared in the black snake's eyes.

"hiss!!"

It neighed towards the sky, and the black energy on its body burst out again, and its speed actually increased a bit!

"Damn! Running so fast?"

Cao Xing was also very surprised to see this.

But he was not discouraged and still followed behind, chasing relentlessly!

However, this black snake seemed to be very familiar with this forest.

After a few moves, the distance between them was widened again.

They also used those hundred-meter-tall trees to slow down Cao Xing's pace.

Cao Xing, relying on his speed advantage, continued to chase from behind.

The black snake was also forced into a corner.

It didn't dare to stop for a moment, and ran all the way, knocking down countless huge trees.

After all, in the last encounter, it had experienced how powerful this group of people were and was almost beaten to death by them!

And now, it can feel that this group of people has become stronger!
If I fall into their hands, there will be no chance of escape!
Thinking of this, the black snake began to run for its life!
Rumble!
Countless large trees were knocked down by its huge size.

Behind him, there is the giant beast Dabai rushing around.

It was almost a mess along the way.

After chasing all the way, Cao Xing looked behind him.

He discovered a problem.

That is, the team is becoming more and more fragmented.

After all, his subordinates have different occupations and races, and their movement speeds are also different.

Now only a few leader-level creatures such as Wally, Assam, and Sarah can keep up with Cao Xing.

In the back, the archers, as well as Braum and others, had already left the team.

Looking at the black snake's gradually receding figure, Cao Xing's eyes flashed with helplessness.

After a moment, he said simply, "Stop it."

The running team slowly stopped.

Behind him, Bron, Mengma and others came forward and spoke.

"My Lord... it was Braum who slowed you down..."

The other four archers also showed self-blame in their eyes.

Cao Xing waved his hand, "It's okay, don't blame yourself."

"This black snake is really too fast, especially in a forest."

"Even if I continue to chase it, I can't say I can catch up with it 100%."

After hearing this, although Bron and others still felt a little guilty, they felt better.

However, Cao Xing also discovered one thing.

As they chased, they seemed to have come to a whole new area of ​​the forest.

Looked at the map.

The group's current location is approximately 45 kilometers away from the Witch Forest.

It's almost in the center.

"My goodness, we just chased this black snake for three or four kilometers in the forest. Where did it take me?"

Cao Xing looked around and found that there were many more plants nearby that he didn't recognize.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said directly: "In that case, let's continue exploring around here."

After hearing Cao Xing's order.

Everyone reorganized the team.

The two melee fighters, Braum and Assam, walked in the front.

The two dragon blood fighters are on both sides of the team.

The group of archers and mages followed behind the team.

"Boom! Boom!"

Dabai led everyone to explore the dense forest.

Cao Xing sat on Dabai's back, keeping his eyes and ears open.

At this time, among a pile of weeds, he suddenly saw a few small grasses emitting faint blue light.

"Blue fluorescent grass?"

Cao Xing blurted out.

But he immediately shut his mouth again.

Obviously, this grass should not be that kind of plant.

When I looked closer, a system prompt appeared.

[Cold Star Grass (Blue): Magic Plant]

[Effect: After consumption, it can slightly increase the affinity of ice elements and speed up the casting speed by 3% to 8%, lasting for 30 to 120 seconds]

(A relatively rare magical plant, and also the main ingredient of some potions.)
...

"Oh? The main ingredient of the potion?"

"This is really good stuff!"

Although Cao Xing has not yet found a citizen with proficient alchemy skills, the [Intermediate Alchemy Workshop] has been idle there.

But this is only temporary, Cao Xing will definitely find an alchemist.

So, this thing should be useful later.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing happily collected all the blue grass on the ground.

[Obtain: Cold Star Grass (Blue)*27]

...

"Not bad, not bad, I picked up money again."

"Come on, let's keep moving forward."

Then, Cao Xing led everyone to explore the deepest part of the Witch Forest.

A few minutes later.

Cao Xing suddenly saw a dense white bush appearing in front of him.

And nearby, Cao Xing sensed a strange aura.

When he pushed aside the bushes and saw the scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Fuck!"

"Why is there such a thing here?"

Cao Xing was surprised.

Including other people, they all stood there in a daze.

Bron touched his bald head and exclaimed: "Gods, there is an ancient castle in such a forest!"

“And it’s on such a massive scale.”

Yes, a castle appeared in front of Cao Xing and others.

It covers a very large area, approximately at least a dozen square kilometers.

A high bluestone wall surrounds the entire castle.

The city walls are covered with mottled marks, covered with moss, and filled with the breath of time.

Inside, Cao Xing saw many pointed towers, and in the central area, there was a tower that was hundreds of meters high.

At this moment, he remembered the scene he had seen on the big tree before.

“So this is the scene I saw at the beginning.”

At this time, a system prompt appears.

[You have reached the deepest part of the Witch Forest and discovered a special area: the Forest Witch's Castle, reputation +50]
