Chapter 254 Interrogation, shocking secrets! (6000)

This also indirectly proves that the hunter did not lie.

Cao Xing took out a small cup filled with 20 ml of water from his backpack.

Almost enough for a sip.

However, looking at this little bit of water, a terrifying light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man underground!
For him, this little water is a life-saving straw!

Cao Xing put the cup of water on the ground and said, "Drink it."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man crawled over excitedly and drank the water in the cup with a gulp.

However, not only did this fail to quench his thirst, but it actually stimulated his body's desire for water even more!
He looked at Cao Xing with even more intense eyes.

Cao Xing continued to ask: "Second question, how much do you know about the size of the Church of Light and the number of powerful people?"

This is also the question he wants to know most.

Through the previous actions, he had almost offended this cult.

Some things cannot be kept secret for a lifetime, and they may come to light later.

So before this, Cao Xing wanted to understand how powerful this organization was.

How powerful are they and how to come up with a strategy to deal with it.

Hearing this question, the middle-aged man in front of him thought for a moment again.

"Except for the Snowstorm Plains... I don't know much about the church forces outside..."

"But according to some information I have obtained, the influence of the Church of Light covers the Ice Crystal Kingdom and several nearby kingdoms."

"In the Snowstorm Plain, they sent three red-robed bishops and a large number of black-robed and white-robed priests..."

"But ahead of us, a red-robed bishop died in the Witch Forest, and the church headquarters transferred another red-robed bishop here. We followed the high priest in to carry out the mission, and then we ran into you..."

"Recently, we have concentrated our forces in Duolun Lake City according to the command of the Seed of Light."

...

After listening to him, Cao Xing also had a vague idea in his mind.

It seems that the power of the Church of Light is really great!

Its influence covers the entire Ice Crystal Kingdom and even several nearby kingdoms.

Although the Snowfield is very large, compared to a kingdom, it is just a remote corner.

In other words, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

After asking these questions, Cao Xing gave him another 20 ml of water.

The middle-aged man below drank it all again.

Cao Xing continued to ask questions.

"How much do you know about the Seed of Light?"

This question seems to touch upon some core secrets.

An intense struggle appeared on the middle-aged man's face!
After a moment, Cao Xing urged: "If you know, just tell me yourself."

"Otherwise, we will use the confession spell on you later, and the result will be the same."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at Isabel next to him, with a strong fear in his eyes...

He struggled for a moment, then spoke.

"The Seed of Light...was born recently."

"His arrival has helped our Church of Light find its backbone."

"Based on the conversation I heard between the high priest and the bishop, I guess..."

"The Seed of Light is most likely a lord from another world like you!"

Upon hearing this information, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank!
It even made his breathing slightly out of control!
Good guy!
This was a possibility he had never thought of.

The Seed of Light is the lord of another world.

That is to say, among these survivors of Blue Star, there is one person who is the spokesperson of this huge cult!
And, he may now be the leader of this organization.

When you think about it this way, it’s really scary!

After all, that person not only possesses the system functions of the survivors, but also has a huge force.

But Cao Xing thought that his development was fast enough.

However, that survivor controls the entire Church of Light, with so many powerful people offering their help.

It is conceivable that the current strength of this person's territory has developed to a terrifying level.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party does not need to develop any territory at all.

...

...

at the same time.

In a mountain range extremely far away from Cao Xing’s territory.

There is a huge temple hidden inside.

A young man with handsome features and clear eyes was sitting on a huge throne.

Behind him is a sun flag.

In front of him, a large number of white-robed priests, red-robed bishops, and even some powerful beings in yellow robes, knelt on the ground respectfully.

He closed his eyes tightly, and bursts of light emanated from the back of his head, making him look extremely majestic.

After a moment, the young man opened his eyes and said in a light tone.

"The Lord God of Light has revealed that the being that destroyed our plan and wiped out a trace of Deum's divinity is in the snowy plains."

"Now, Sainz, Bella..."

Hearing the young man's order, the two red-robed bishops stood up respectfully.

"Great Spokesperson of the God of Light, please give your orders..."

The young man said, "You will lead a group of believers to the Snowstorm Plains to help the plan in Duolun Lake City go smoothly."

"Then, secretly investigate the identity of the attacker."

“A large camp was destroyed the other day, and I suspect it was the same group of people.”

"Follow this to find clues."

After hearing this, the two red-robed bishops' eyes flashed with thought.

Then they replied respectfully: "As you command, great seed of light..."

After the two red-robed bishops led their men away, the young man looked forward with a deep gaze.

"The plans in other places are going smoothly, except for this snowy plain..."

"It seems that this area is a bit strange. Maybe there is a hidden strong man."

"It's a pity that the God of Light is trapped in the Abyss and can't give me much help."

At this time, he opened the [World Channel] and took a look.

"It seems that the survivors in this area of ​​​​the Snowstorm are all from District 17."

"However, due to system limitations, we survivors cannot go to other areas before the merger."

"It seems that we can contact the survivors in this area and ask if there are any hidden indigenous masters or some other forces."

"Then secretly find out their strength."

He didn't even associate the existence that could destroy their plans with the survivors.

In his opinion, the current survivors are too weak.

They can be easily destroyed by sending out any black-robed priest.

It is impossible for such a weak being to kill the red-robed priests of their Church of Light and destroy the last trace of divinity of the Nightmare God Deum.

...

...

At this moment, Cao Xing had already walked out of the basement.

I glanced at the countdown above my head.

[Due to nightfall: 7 minutes and 32 seconds...]

[Current temperature: 7℃]

...

After waking up from the sewing shop, Cao Xing continued to arrange work.

In a blink of an eye, it was dark.

The citizens who were working outside the territory have returned to the territory one after another.

He himself began to think about the next plan.

It is obvious that the power of the Church of Light is greater than one might imagine.

The most important thing is that the Seed of Light among them is actually a survivor from the Blue Planet.

I just don't know which district this guy is from or which country he is from.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "However, what we can be sure of now is that this guy is probably not from District 17."

"If such a powerful being were in our District 17, it would be impossible for him to remain unknown. He would at least reveal some of his strength."

"It seems that my situation is still safe at the moment, but I need to keep a low profile."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing has already thought out the next development plan in his mind.

At this moment, he heard a crackling sound of electric current near his ear.

"My Lord, I am Kantel!"

"I'm Kandar!"

Came the loud voices of two centaurs.

Cao Xing replied: "Why haven't you come back yet? Did you encounter anything in that mine?"

Kandar immediately replied: "My Lord, we haven't encountered anything yet."

"We have been exploring inside this mine since we arrived."

"But so far, I have only felt a cold breath constantly entering my body, but I have not seen any monsters."

"Cantel said that if it is a vengeful spirit, it may not come out during the day."

"So we decided to stay here for one night to see if those monsters or ghosts will show up!"

After listening to their explanation, Cao Xing also nodded.

It has to be said that the strategy of the two Centaurs was correct.

They may look silly, but they are actually not stupid at all. At least they are very experienced in dealing with various monsters.

"Okay, be careful at night and contact me immediately if you have any questions."

This place is only a few kilometers away from the haunted mine.

With the speed Cao Xing and his team are going, they will be there soon.

The two centaurs agreed readily.

After doing all this, Cao Xing took Liu Muxue into the cafeteria and began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.

Cao Xing took Liu Muxue back to his own Lord's Mansion to rest.

After taking a warm bath, I got into bed.

Then, he spent more than an hour to comfort the beauty beside him.

Liu Muxue fell into a deep sleep.

Cao Xing is still in high spirits.

The time now is just past nine in the evening.

He couldn't sleep so early and felt a little bored for a moment.

Although there are no mobile phones to play with in this world, they do have a communication forum!
So, Cao Xing opened the chat channel to see what the survivors were doing recently.

Liang Yuansheng: "Brothers, are there any other indigenous people outside your territory who come to contact you today?"

Xing Deyang: "Yes, today a group of soldiers came to my territory and said that my territory is Baron Barnaby's territory. We should either leave here or pay taxes regularly, otherwise they will send troops to drive us out."

Qu Qifeng: "Fuck! Me too, these bastards actually want us to pay 30000 units of food and 5000 units of iron every month!"

Ding Bo: "What a rip-off! We just had a little food reserve in our territory, but they demanded 3 units! They are simply a bunch of bandits. I really want to beat up these damn nobles!"

Du Ping: "Haha, I didn't meet those soldiers today, but I met a group of wanderers. They seemed to have come from another kingdom and had nowhere to go, so I took them in. The population of the territory suddenly increased a lot!"

…After hearing this, Cao Xing seemed to be thinking about something.

Just as the system said last time, the indigenous people of this world will gradually pay attention to the survivors' territory.

At present, many territories have been visited by the indigenous people.

It would be okay if you meet some ordinary natives, but it would be a bit troublesome if you meet the forces of barons or some nobles.

And Cao Xing was also thinking.

What should he do if he encounters the same situation in his territory?

Should we follow the rules or pay money to avoid disaster?

Although he is already very powerful now, Cao Xing knows that he is not yet at the level where he can compete with the aristocracy.

Don't underestimate these nobles, they usually look like good-for-nothings.

And once someone really offends their dignity, these guys will unite and launch a thundering attack on him.

They will never allow the common people, or even people from other classes, to shake their ruling position!

Just like they don't allow those polar people and civilians to have power.

In addition, since Cao Xing killed the Red Robe Bishop, he might have to keep a low profile for a while.

So, he can't fall out with these guys yet.

"If we really encounter them, we'll see what these guys need."

"If it's not excessive, we can give them some resources to buy them some time for development."

"When I become strong enough, I will defeat all the nobles!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing has already thought of a strategy to deal with it.

At this moment, the survivors in the chat channel are still complaining.

Qin Yonglun: "Sigh... Although I didn't encounter those natives in my territory, I did encounter a leader-level ice nest monster, a level 18 leader monster! It almost killed me. Those soldiers couldn't stop such a powerful monster. I have already abandoned the territory and fled."

Zhuo Zhumei: "Wow... Me too. I encountered two Ice Nest bosses today. They were so ferocious that even the Elemental Arrow Tower had no effect on them."

Lu Yue: "Haha, I saw a boss-level Ice Nest monster appear today. Fortunately, I dug a trap in advance. This guy was trapped in the trap for several minutes and finally died!"

Bai Guangfei: "It's difficult. The difficulty of survival has increased. Now, apart from those large legions, there are also a few powerful territories. If other people's territories encounter leader-level ice nest monsters, they will basically suffer heavy losses."

...

It is obvious that most of the survivors are now suffering from the ice nest monsters.

Especially today, the difficulty has soared as the probability of bosses and leader-level ice nest monsters appearing has increased!

Just because Cao Xing can easily deal with these monsters doesn’t mean other survivors can.

For them, defeating a second-level leader is a life-threatening task, let alone a powerful leader!

There may also be a large number of ordinary ice nest monsters among them, so it is normal that they cannot withstand it.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Most of the survivors are currently helpless against the leader-level Ice Nest Monster."

"It seems that I can use a batch of my nightmare arrows now."

"After all, this kind of arrow has extremely horrible damage. One arrow is enough to make a second-level boss monster bleed to death."

"As long as it is used well, it won't be difficult to deal with a second-level leader monster."

"If this thing appears on the market, it will definitely cause everyone to scramble for it, and I can sell it for a high price!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing even wanted to go to the blacksmith shop on the spot to see how many arrows Harold had made in the past two days.

But after thinking about it, Harold should still be working overtime, so it’s better not to disturb him.

So, with a hint of anticipation.

Cao Xing hugged the sweet Liu Muxue and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day...

A system prompt appears.

[Survivors, please note that you have passed the 14th day of the official period. There are still 3 days left before the end of the points ranking...]

[Weather forecast: Today, some areas of the snowfield will usher in a cold front with temperatures ranging from -57℃ to -75℃~]

...

"Oh? Only 3 days left?"

Due to various situations encountered during this period, Cao Xing didn't pay much attention to the standings.

I didn't expect that seven days would pass so quickly after the server merger.

I looked at the rankings.

[17 District Points Ranking]

[First place: Cao Xing 1437 points]

[Second place: Jiang Qingyun 872 points]

[Third place: Qiu Yating 633 points]

【Fourth place: Wu Xinghu 598 points】

[Fifth place: Chen Feng 574 points]

...

[453th place: Zhou Bo points]

...

"Fortunately, my current points still firmly rank first."

"It seems that the various unexpected situations these days have also caused trouble for others."

Cao Xing was right. Almost all the survivors had encountered various unexpected situations in recent days.

Especially that blizzard, which not only took away many lives, but also increased the difficulty of survivors reuniting with each other.

And it ferments over time.

The survivors basically all know that a lot of people will die in a challenge of the [Ice Dragon Horn].

Even Wangjiang Pavilion in Area 171 and the Ice Tiger Legion in Area 174 are no exception.

No one wants to be the unlucky one, so all the major legions are now unable to organize enough manpower to take on the Ice Dragon Horn Challenge.

In the current points ranking, the minimum score to enter the top ten is 450 points.

What’s more, what surprised the other survivors was that this time, 174 people from Area 4 made it into the top ten.

Especially that Qiu Yating.

She was like a rising force, and she began to exert her strength after the snowstorm ended.

In the past two days, the survivors have often discussed who this Qiu Yating is.

Because her ranking rose too quickly.

I use one or two [Ice Dragon Horns (Small)] almost every day, and in just three days, I have squeezed into the top three!

According to this trend, Qiu Yating will even suppress Jiang Qingyun and take the second place.

This directly put tremendous pressure on Wangjiang Pavilion.

Now Jiang Qingyun is trying every possible way to gather more cannon fodder and want to continue using the Ice Dragon Horn to challenge.

Even Cao Xing was a little surprised.

"Oh? Qiu Yating's ranking has risen very quickly!"

"Could it be that the reward that the old witch gave her last time was so great?"

This also piqued his interest.

Of course, he didn't want to steal Qiu Yating's things.

Because there is no need for that.

Anyway, there are enough treasures in his territory.

In his backpack, there are more than a hundred [Destroyer Crossbows].

These crossbow arrows alone are enough to easily deal with the challenge of the [Ice Dragon Horn].

Not to mention, there are hundreds of powerful soldiers.

"Forget it. Whatever she gets has nothing to do with me."

"I just need to concentrate on developing my own territory."

Shaking his head, Cao Xing woke up Liu Muxue beside him.

The two of them washed up together and then left the spacious lord's mansion.

Push open the door.

There were several hundred people standing outside.

Except for the people sent out by Cao Xing yesterday, most of the other citizens are here.

At this time, Cao Xing noticed that Duan and seven other polar people had all broken through to level 2.

They looked at their lord with fanaticism in their eyes.

And these people are probably the few second-level polar people in the entire Western Continent.

Cao Xing asked, "Duan, how does it feel to have a breakthrough?"

Duan said excitedly: "My Lord, I feel great. I have endless energy!"

"Now, I can carry hundreds of kilograms of rocks by myself!"

Several polar people nearby also echoed.

"My Lord, me too. I can now directly lift up a big tree!"

"Haha, then I'll carry a cow!"

Seeing how happy they were, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone on the field.

Because in this way, they all believe that their lord really allows them to gain power!

At this time, Duan said excitedly: "Merciful and great Lord, please arrange today's work for us!"

"I can't wait to contribute to the territory!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry, were there any upgraded polar people and staff yesterday?"

Da Zhuang said excitedly: "My Lord, I! I trained for 4 hours last night and have already reached level 6!"

Er Zhuang next to him immediately agreed, "Lord, I have reached level 5, and I feel that my strength has increased a lot."

As everyone echoed their voices, Cao Xing discovered that many people had been promoted by one or two levels.

Including Cao Yi, who is already quite old, and was promoted to level 5.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"You are all very good. Just follow what I said yesterday. While ensuring that you do your job well, you can try your best to improve yourselves."

"When you reach level 10, come directly to me to receive the Heart of Power. Do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other, then raised the tools in their hands, "Understood!"

"Long live the lord!"

Cao Xing smiled.

"Okay, now let's get back to work, just like yesterday."

"As ordered!"

With high emotions, hundreds of staff members scattered and left!

Cao Xing noticed that there was a woman waiting quietly on the side.

It was Sabina.

She changed into a clean white doctor's coat today and took good care of herself.

Don't tell me yet.

Compared to the somewhat sloppy look she looked when Cao Xing first bought her.

Today, Sabina feels like an older nurse.

At this moment, I saw Cao Xing's eyes moving around.

Sabina walked quickly to his side and then knelt on her knees.

Raise your hands high above your head.

Cao Xing noticed that she seemed to be holding a bottle of black potion in her hand.
