Chapter 224: First Place, Blizzard is Coming! (6200)

Cao Xing began to give orders for dealing with the Ice Dragon Horn challenge in the evening.

Ilena quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go inform the people right away."

She took Cao Xing's instructions to heart, then hung up the phone and started giving orders.

The matters concerning the territory have been almost explained.

As night fell, the sky quickly darkened.

The entire Witch Forest was shrouded in complete darkness.

In such a dark environment, there was a group of figures holding blue torches walking through the forest.

It was Cao Xing and the others.

The Witch Forest at night is very depressing, or rather, terribly depressing!
Apart from the occasional bird calls, not even the slightest sound of wild animals could be heard.

At this moment, Isabel in the team whispered, "My Lord, let me light the way forward for you?"

Cao Xing was stunned, he also remembered.

Isabel's advanced control of holy light can release strong holy light to act as a lighting effect.

"Okay, go ahead, Isabel."

After getting permission, the holy woman in front of him slowly raised her staff.

"The Holy Light...will guide us forward..."

The next moment, a strong light rose from her staff.

The area within dozens of meters nearby was illuminated extremely brightly.

Seeing this scene, everyone showed admiration in their eyes.

Tong Chuchu said softly: "Wow...Sister Isabel is so amazing and so beautiful..."

But Hilda, who was following behind the team, looked at her with disdain.

"Tsk! What a woman who loves to show off!"

Under Isabel's guidance, everyone soon came to an area filled with a large number of vines.

Behind these vines is the ancient wild boar tribe.

Following the gap through which the black snake had previously broken in, they quickly entered the interior.

All of a sudden, waves of warm air came.

Cao Xing glanced at the temperature above his head.

[Current temperature: 13℃]

...

Everyone knows that the reason why the environment of the Wild Boar Tribe is so comfortable is because of a magical [Giant Vine].

Cao Xing sighed and said, "It's a pity that we can't get such a magical vine."

The place where they had fought before was still preserved here, and no other creatures had entered.

Everyone came to the square in the center of the Wild Boar Tribe.

Cao Xing looked at the statue in the square and asked, "Lab, can the beast statue still be used?"

In his backpack, there was some nectar of the Piranha Plant, a boss-level soul, and several elite souls that needed to be purified.

Rab leaned over to take a look, then said, "My Lord, the power of the statue has been exhausted. Without the boar warriors praying and contributing their faith every day, it may take a long time to recover."

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded.

Although it is a bit regrettable, it doesn't have much impact.

So, he said directly: "Okay, let's all go in and rest."

"Keep your energy up tonight, we'll have a lot of fighting during the day tomorrow."

"We may have to go into the witch's castle at night, so everyone should hold on."

Hearing this, everyone on the field had smiles on their faces.

Braum patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Lord, Braum is in good physical condition."

Jonard and Josent also replied: "During the Dragon War, the longest time we Norns experienced fighting was two months in a row. This is nothing to us."

Cao Xing smiled.

Then, he took them to the stone door of the Wild Boar Tribe's lounge.

Since they knew the spell of the lounge, they quickly opened the stone door.

Everyone filed in.

There are many stone chambers inside, as well as ready-made stone beds, stone tables, and so on.

Rab said excitedly: "Oh! It's been so many years since I lived in a tribal house!"

"This feeling is so familiar and yet so strange!"

"Everyone, just treat this place as your own home and live wherever you want, haha!"

Everyone looked at the boar warrior Lab in silence.

He is not from this tribe, but he acts like the tribal chief.

However, everyone still observed it and found a room to enter.

The two little girls, Elisa and Tong Chuchu, followed Volibear, as well as Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.

Four people and a bear slept in one room.

However, they did not sleep on the stone beds, but rested against the wall.

Volibear lay in the corner.

Elisa and Xiao Chuchu were resting by hugging Wally's thick hairy legs.

Time passes slowly...

At half past six in the evening.

Cao Xing dialed the communication device on his ear and said, "Ilena, get ready. I'm going to use the Ice Dragon Horn."

"Zizi...Zizi..."

"Received, Lord, we are ready for battle."

Hearing this, Cao Xing also felt relieved.

Then, he used the horn directly.

This thing can only be used by the lord.

And no matter where you use it, the summoned ice nest monsters will land near the territory.

at the same time.

A familiar server announcement sounded in the chat channel of Zone 17.

Server announcement: "Survivors please note, the survivor lord: Cao Xing has used the Ice Dragon Horn (Small)..."

...

At this moment, the lively chat channel suddenly froze, followed by a burst of exclamations.

Chen Ze: "Oh my god! Boss Cao Xing used a horn again. Isn't it said that every time there is a horn challenge, many people will die?"

Yin Linru: "Yes, since yesterday, although those legion commanders have withstood the impact of the ice nest, they have suffered heavy losses. Today, no legion has used the Ice Dragon Horn."

Gu Shijie: "Haha, didn't the people from Wangjiang Pavilion say that although Boss Cao Xing withstood the challenge of the medium-level Ice Dragon Horn, he suffered heavy losses and was unable to recover? How come he still looks like he's still strong!"

Deng Zhong: "Indeed, he is worthy of being called Cao Xing. After this challenge tonight, his points will increase dramatically. I guess no one can catch up with him..."

At this time, Jiang Qingyun, who was being ridiculed by everyone, and the commanders of the major armies in District 17 were all looking at the chat channel in shock.

It seems that no one understands why Cao Xing can use the Ice Dragon Horn continuously.

You know, no matter how strong a territory is, facing the attack of so many ice nest monsters, there will inevitably be casualties.

Did no one die in his territory in yesterday's battle? Or did only a few die?

...

Cao Xing did not read the discussions in the chat channel, nor did he know the speculations made by the legion commanders about him.

Instead, he maintained communication and listened to Ilena's report on the battle situation.

Just as expected.

One hundred Ascalon warriors, more than a hundred wild boar warriors, and powerful beings such as Ilena and Alice are enough to easily deal with the small Ice Dragon Horn challenge.

Kill information kept refreshing the screen.

Until 0 o'clock in the morning.

The battle is almost over.

Then they set about destroying the ice nests.

Cao Xing's points once again saw rapid growth.

【1137 minutes】

【1194 minutes】

【1235 minutes】

In the end, Cao Xing's score was fixed at 1312 points.

Take a look at the current standings.

[17 District Points Ranking]

[First place: Cao Xing 1312 points]

[Second place: Jiang Qingyun 438 points]

【Fourth place: Wu Xinghu 285 points】

【Third place: Chen Feng 273 points】

...

Obviously, he still occupied the first place with an overwhelming advantage, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger.

In the chat channel, the people from Wangjiang Pavilion have completely stopped talking.

Jiang Qingyun still sat in the lord's hut with a sullen face, not saying a word.

...

...

As for Cao Xing, after the battle, he learned from Ilena's report that he had obtained more than 40,000 ice dragon marks and 20,000 glacier fragments.

Cao Xing said happily: "Not bad, I'll see if I can collect some Ice Dragon Marks when I go back, and exchange them for a Bright Moon Treasure Chest!"

"Of course, you can also exchange a few of those advanced blueprints and leader-level dragon blood warriors to see them!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Then, he fell into a rest state with peace of mind.

...

The next day...

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue woke up together.

A system prompt appears.

【Attention all survivors, attention all survivors! 】

[You have passed the ninth day of the official period, and a snowstorm is about to hit! ]

[Weather forecast: There will be a cold wave passing through today, with the lowest temperature reaching -68℃. The blizzard will officially hit at 20:12 tonight!
In blizzard weather, the lowest temperature will reach -79℃, and the blizzard will trigger various geological disasters, such as landslides, snowstorms, etc. All survivors, please be prepared...】

...

Seeing this series of system prompts, Cao Xing's face showed surprise.

Almost twenty days after entering this world, the first snowstorm finally arrived.

Although I had expected it, I still felt a little nervous when it was really approaching.

After all, in this kind of world, blizzards are an extremely severe challenge for everyone.

The seriousness of the matter can be seen from the long list of prompts in the system!

As expected, the world channel has become a mess.

Christopher: "Oh my God! A few days ago, a moderate snowstorm almost submerged my territory. How terrible will this blizzard be?"

Nie Yihe: "It's bad! My territory is on the mountain, next to a cliff. If this blizzard comes, I will definitely be in trouble. No, I have to run away!"

Kenjiro Hori: "Yoshi! Fortunately, I gave up my territory and hid in a cave. I also stored a lot of food and coal in it. I can also play with those female mole people every day, hahahaha!"

Han Youzhen: "Handsome Oppas in the chat channel, is there anyone who can take me and my sister in? Our territory level is too low and we definitely can't withstand the blizzard..."

Zhou Min: "I am looking for a homeless little brother. He must be over 180cm tall and have six-pack abs. My territory's bonfire has been upgraded to level 8, and I have several second-level soldiers, which is enough to ensure your safety."

Yan Lisheng: "Brothers, don't go, you will be beaten to a pulp..."

...

At this moment, in the wild boar tribe.

Liu Muxue snuggled in Cao Xing's arms and said with a worried look on her face, "Ah Xing, there will be a snowstorm tomorrow."

"Should we go back first and make some preparations?"

Her worries were not unfounded. After all, blizzards were one of the worst weather conditions in the world, and it was possible that they could cause serious consequences.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "We have to go back now. Otherwise, if the snowstorm comes, we may not be able to go out for a few days."

"However, the snowstorm will not officially arrive until tonight, so we can still continue exploring the forest during the day."

"It's a good opportunity to bring back more resources."

Liu Muxue also nodded slightly.

Although, according to Cao Xing's plan, he was preparing to enter the [Witch Castle] tonight.

But as mentioned before, the weather in this world is changeable and everything is uncertain.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

As for the mission of the old witch, Cao Xing was not in a hurry.

Anyway, there is no completion time marked on the task.

So he pressed the [small communication device] on his ear and made a general announcement.

"Okay, everyone, get up."

After hearing Cao Xing's order.

More than a dozen people came out in a crowd.

Elisa said sleepily, “Hmm…is it dawn so soon?”

Tong Chuchu next to her had an excited smile on her face, “Sister Elisa, I slept so comfortably last night!”

Last night, they fell asleep leaning against Volibear's lap.

Wally's thick fur provided them with warmth, allowing them to sleep well.

This makes others envious.

Rab said excitedly: "My Lord, are we going to start the battle?"

"Labu had a good sleep in the tribe and now he feels full of energy!" Cao Xing smiled, "It's time to fight, but there's a little change in the plan."

"There will be a snowstorm tonight. We will continue to explore the forest during the day and then return to the territory before dark."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Cao Xing didn't say much, and directly ordered: "Let's go, we will go directly to the depths of the Witch Forest, around the ancient castle, and try to explore as many areas as possible."

Given the sheer size of this forest, it would definitely be impossible to explore it all in one day.

So Cao Xing could only explore the deepest part first.

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

Everyone still maintains a high level of enthusiasm.

Then they walked out of the wild boar tribe together.

Keep going.

They came directly to the depths of the Witch Forest.

That is near the castle.

Then, their journey of fighting and exploration began.

Boom!dong dong!

Dabai's heavy footsteps echoed in the forest.

Soon, they encountered the first wave of monsters.

"Crash!"

The white petals slowly opened, like whirlpools, revealing the black and purple thorns inside.

This is a group of nightmare carnivorous plants, about thirty or forty in number.

The levels are all above level 38, and there are several level 40 Piranha Plants among them.

However, there are only a few elite-level creatures among these carnivorous plants, and no boss-level creatures.

Cao Xing gave the order directly: "Play as you please, and make a quick decision."

Monsters of this level are a crushing defeat for them.

"Bron! Attack!"

"Boar Warriors! Charge!"

Braum and Lab, two battle maniacs, rushed forward together.

Then, there were Assam riding on the Frostwolf and Jonard holding spears.

The situation was under their control in an instant.

In the rear, there is Cao Xing and a group of powerful mages and archers, providing long-range fire suppression.

This group of carnivorous plants had no chance of resistance at all.

It took them only six minutes to end the battle.

Then, he and Liu Muxue spent about ten minutes cleaning up the battlefield.

As usual, Cao Xing walked over and picked up everything on the ground.

[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha Plant's Spikes (Green)*2438]

[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha's Spikes (Blue)*431]

[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha Elite Soul*2]

[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*5]

[Obtain: Level 2 Elite Nightmare Court Archer Scroll *]

[Obtain: Level 5 Nightmare Court Archer Scroll *]

【get……】

...

"Not bad, not bad. There are actually 5 intermediate power hearts and 7 scrolls."

"Sure enough, higher-level monsters have a higher drop rate."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

In addition to these things, there is a lot of materials, and the returns are quite good.

After finishing this wave of battle, they continued exploring.

After about forty minutes, Cao Xing and others encountered the second wave of monsters today.

That was a group of human-faced trees.

Then it was still the usual crushing battle...

...

...

Time passes slowly.

Over the next three or four hours, they fought a total of three battles.

The battle didn't last long.

Most of the time was spent on exploration.

There's no way, the Witch Forest is too big.

Although the level of monsters in the depths is very high, they are not as dense as imagined.

In addition, it took a lot of time to clean up the spoils on the ground.

The morning passed quickly.

Cao Xing and others appeared next to an open space.

He could already feel the temperature in the forest dropping rapidly.

Glancing at the numbers above my head.

[Distance to nightfall: 6:32…]

[Current temperature: -61℃]

...

The temperature directly reached more than 60 degrees below zero.

It was obvious that a blizzard was really coming.

Cao Xing said: "Everyone, take a break for half an hour and get ready for lunch."

"We'll fight a little longer in the afternoon, and then we'll be ready to go back."

Hearing this, everyone showed expectant expressions on their faces.

After all, they knew that every time Cao Xing went out, he would prepare a sumptuous meal in his backpack.

Then, Cao Xing took out a lot of white bread, roasted secret rabbit meat, honey, etc. from his backpack like a magic trick...

This is the benefit of a carry-on backpack.

Even outside, you can still eat rich food.

Everyone started having a picnic on the spot.

Lab and Bron devoured the food.

"Oh! What delicious rabbit meat!"

At this time, Elisa patted her butt, stood up from the ground, and then walked to Cao Xing with eager eyes.

Looking at her somewhat embarrassed expression, Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"That is... that... Lord..."

"Could you give me a bottle of milk?"

"Elissa hasn't had any milk today!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, "Do you drink milk every day?"

Elisa nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes!"

"My mother left when I was very young, and my father would take me to milk fresh yaks for me to drink every day so that I could grow up healthily."

"This is a habit I developed since I was a child, hehehe..."

Elisa laughed sheepishly.

Cao Xing, on the other hand, had a strange look on his face.

Old Mel raised a lot of cows, so it was normal for him to have so much milk to supply his daughter.

But why didn’t Elisa develop even though she drank so much milk since she was a child?

That flat chest, and that height of less than 1.6 meters...

Noticing Cao Xing's gaze, Elisa also looked at him curiously.

Cao Xing smiled and took out two bottles of [Cloud Yak Milk] from his backpack.

"Here you go. Remember to give Xiao Chuchu a bottle."

Elisa happily took it, "Woooa! Thank you, Lord!"

After saying that, she skipped to Tong Chuchu and shared the delicious milk with her.

After eating and drinking enough.

After everyone stood up again.

Then we began to explore the area about ten kilometers around the castle.

From noon to around three o'clock in the afternoon, they experienced two more battles.

During this period, Cao Xing obtained a large number of [Intermediate Power Hearts], as well as many elite souls and leader souls.

In addition, there are [Nightmare Piranha Spikes] whose number has exceeded 20,000, and a large number of miscellaneous blue and purple materials.

You can imagine how amazing their harvest was today!

Especially those spikes, if they were all given to Harold to be made into arrows, they could then be taken to the [Market] for trading.

It will definitely bring Cao Xing a lot of resources.

now.

Cao Xing and others continued to walk through the forest.

He glanced at the time.

[Due to nightfall: 3 hours and 07 minutes...]

...

"There are only three hours left. We have to hurry back."

"As expected, as long as people are busy, time passes quickly."

Cao Xing thought with a smile.

"Now, it's time to share these high-level power hearts in our hands and improve everyone's strength."

And at this moment, he suddenly raised his eyes.

Because he saw many big and thick trees.

After these two days of dealing with it.

Now, they are able to distinguish whether those trees are ordinary big trees or human-faced trees through some very inconspicuous details.

Obviously, these are human-faced trees.

Cao Xing said, "Shoot two arrows and see."

Hear this.

Elisa and Renesse had already drawn their bows at the same time.

"Huh! Huh!"

The arrow hits!

The group of human-faced trees were also instantly freed from their disguise.

"Crash..."

Dozens of ancient trees turned around at the same time, revealing the pale human face on their trunks.

Cao Xing glanced over.

I found that they were a group of human-faced trees from level 38 to 40.

Among them, there are 5 elite human-faced trees and 3 boss human-faced trees.

The most important thing is that there is actually a level 39 leader-level human-faced tree among them!

This made Cao Xing very excited!
"Great, great! Finally I get to meet a leader-level creature again!"

Although they killed many monsters today, most of them were bosses and elites, and they only encountered one leader-level creature.

The soul hasn't exploded yet!

Now, Cao Xing finally encountered a leader-level creature again.

So he quickly commanded: "The old way."

"Braum, Baymax, Volibear, deal with that leader-level human-faced tree."

"Isabel, Hilda, Assam, each of you will deal with a leader-level human-faced tree."

"Jonard, Joecent, five elite human-faced trees are given to you."

"Everyone else, do your best to kill those ordinary-looking trees!"

After receiving Cao Xing's order, everyone instantly aimed at their targets!

Compared to yesterday, their strength has more than improved to a higher level.
Renis transformed into a leader.

Hilda and Isabel who broke through to the fourth level.

And the group of Nightmare Garden archers, all of them have greatly increased in strength!
Especially Renes.

In the [Hunting Heart] state, she is enveloped in red energy.

Quickly pull the bowstring.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Arrows shot out one after another and landed on the leader of the human-faced tree, causing powerful damage.

【-4072! 】

【-4132! 】

【-4093! 】

...

Every arrow is a critical hit.

Her current output can definitely compete with a fourth-level Holy Light Priest like Isabel!
