Chapter 283: Siren Song Trident, start farming! (6000)

At this time, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue were also paying attention to this series of system announcements, with thoughtful looks in their eyes.

Liu Muxue frowned and asked softly, "Ah Xing, it seems that the cultists succeeded?"

Cao Xing nodded. Liu Muxue also knew about the affairs of Duolun Lake City.

"Yes, Lake Duolun City was captured."

"So it seems that Lieutenant Declan did not pass on the message, or did he pass it on, but the Church of Light was too strong and still captured Duolun Lake City?"

"But why did they occupy Duolun Lake City? With the strength of this force, they probably don't have the ability to confront the kingdom head-on, right?"

Cao Xing vaguely felt that there might be some hidden story behind this.

However, there are no clues at present.

Liu Muxue next to him was also frowning and thinking.

After a moment, Cao Xing patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, Mu Xue, this may be a good thing for us."

There was a look of doubt in the beauty's eyes.

"Because in this case, most of the power of the Church of Light may be concentrated in Duolun Lake City. They will fight against the Knights of the Ice Crystal Kingdom."

"There will be no energy left to investigate what happened in the Witch Forest."

"This way, we'll be safe!"

Hearing this, Liu Muxue also remembered this and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

In addition, there is another thing that is also good news for Cao Xing.

The [Reward Notice] said that these masks could actually be used to redeem rewards at the battlefield in Duolun Lake City or the main city of Yongshuang.

You know, in the past month, Cao Xing has killed many members of the Church of Light.

I have almost a thousand ordinary member masks in my hand.

There are also eleven black-robed priest masks, two white-robed priest masks, and one red-robed bishop mask.

The total is close to 2000 honor points.

Cao Xing said happily: "I don't know what rewards these honor points can be exchanged for, but it will definitely not be bad!"

"After all, I should be the one who killed the most hunters in the entire 17th district."

"I just found out that Qi Nong Dutra seems to be in the main city of Yongshuang. Let's see if I have time to go over and take care of these masks."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt better.

Soon, the two finished washing up and pushed open the door of the lord's mansion.

"call--"

A cold wind blows.

In the open space in the center of the territory.

More than 600 people in the entire territory were waiting silently.

The rampant ice nest monsters finally stopped coming after nearly twenty days.

They knew that the lord would issue new orders today.

Therefore, the people waited here early.

When they saw the two of them coming out, everyone showed respect on their faces.

"Dear Lord, I wish you good health."

"Beautiful lady, may your beauty become more beautiful day by day."

Liu Muxue nodded slightly, with a tranquil and majestic aura emanating from her brows.

Over the past few days, following Cao Xing in managing this territory and so many people, she has gradually developed a temperament similar to that of a superior, similar to Victoria.

Cao Xing called the leader Cao Yi over.

The healthy old man stood respectfully aside.

Cao Xing did not tell him to do anything immediately, but instead looked at his level.

"Cao Yi, have you reached the maximum level of the first stage?"

The old man smiled gently and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord, I have also been training in the training ground for a while these days. I feel that my old bones have become much stronger."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "That's right, Cao Yi."

After saying that, he took out a [Primary Power Heart] from his backpack.

"Take this and use it to break through later."

Cao Yi took it respectfully, and then said gratefully: "Thank you for the gift, Lord."

Since his loyalty is already full, there is no prompt to increase loyalty.

After sending out the heart of power, Cao Xing began to ask about business matters.

"How is the production of our [Transporter] going?"

Cao Yi said respectfully, "My Lord, we have been working hard in the machinery factory these past two days and have produced a total of five transport vehicles, which are now placed in the open space next to the factory."

Hearing this, Cao Xing looked over.

Sure enough, next to the [Intermediate Machinery Factory], there were 5 black-looking transport vehicles with a doomsday wasteland style parked.

The whole body is made of heavy metal, and there is a pair of curved buckets on the front of the car, which look like a pair of horns.

This thing can be used to attack enemies or to shovel snow.

The car is nearly eight meters long and looks very heavy.

Apart from the cab, there is a compartment at the back with plenty of space.

This also means that the speed of this [transport vehicle] will not be too fast, and 80 kilometers per hour is its limit.

Its biggest feature is that its wheels are large and easy to operate.

This type of transport vehicle is very convenient whether it is used to transport people or ore.

Of course, the comfort level is definitely not that high.

However, in this doomsday world, having a means of transportation is considered good, and you can't ask for too much.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then called Da Zhuang over.

Da Zhuang bowed respectfully and said, "My Lord, please give me your orders."

Cao Xing ordered: "Go to the blacksmith shop and find Harold to get the enchanted ore manuscript."

"Your task today is to familiarize yourself with the operation and driving functions of these transports."

"Then lead all the goblin laborers, as well as the drilling robots and forklift robots, to a mine seven kilometers away to mine the resources inside."

"I will let Kantel lead a team of Centaur warriors to protect you."

That’s right, the mine that Cao Xing was talking about was naturally the mine of the mole man.

There are rich mineral deposits in the mine, including iron, copper, silver, and even magic crystals.

He has been thinking about it for a long time.

Now, my own [Transport Vehicle] has finally been built and can be put into mining!

Da Zhuang wrote down Cao Xing's orders one by one, and then said respectfully: "Yes, Lord!"

“I will do my best to complete it.”

After saying that, Da Zhuang took Er Zhuang to Ba Zhuang to learn how to drive a transport truck.

Then, Cao Xing looked at another polar man.

"Duane."

"My Lord, I am here."

Cao Xing asked, "How is the progress of the fertile fields and greenhouses?"

Duan replied respectfully: "My Lord, according to your instructions, the two plots of fertile land have been cultivated and greenhouses have been built on them."

"In addition, the territory's furnace has been upgraded to level 16 and has become a large furnace."

"However, the well is still being dug because the soil is too hard and construction is difficult. It will take some time."

After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded again.

Then he looked towards the furnace in the center of the territory.

[The Melting Pot: Level 16]

[Furnace effect: can increase the temperature of an area with a diameter of 5000 meters by 25°C to 45°C (the heating range can be freely adjusted)]

【消耗】：60分钟/600木材或者60分钟/140煤炭，60分钟/1颗初级魔能水晶

[Materials required for the next level]: Iron*5, Stone*000, Copper*1000, Mithril*300, Intermediate Elemental Crystal*100]

(Introduction: A large furnace that can provide a large amount of heat source is the basis for the territory to transform from a small gathering place to a large town.)
...

At this moment, after the furnace turned into a large furnace, its height suddenly increased from the original three meters to five meters.

Its appearance also changed from the original stone pillar to a large iron pillar.

This large iron pillar is divided into sections that are connected to each other. It looks like a large battery, and there is energy light flowing at the joints, which has a certain technological style.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "The heating range of the level 16 furnace has increased dramatically, directly to 5 kilometers, and the heating range can be adjusted, which is quite convenient."

"In addition, the energy consumed has been increased from wood and coal to primary magic crystals."

"A primary magic crystal contains 100 units of energy, and it was burned up in 60 minutes. This consumption is quite large."

But that's okay.

Because his transporter has already been built.

The mining efficiency of those goblin laborers is still very high. They can bring back a large amount of magic crystals for him in a day, so this consumption is not worth mentioning at all.

So, Cao Xing looked at Duan and said, "Your task today is to build more cow sheds and upgrade them all to intermediate level."

"At least five cow sheds need to be built."

"If there are extra manpower, go upgrade our city walls and turn them all into frost walls."

Duan immediately said respectfully after hearing this: "Yes, my powerful lord!"

At this point, all staff members basically have tasks.

In the territory, Cao Xing did not let the other fighters idle either.

"Today, all Ascalon warriors and wild boar warriors will enter the warrior camp and train in batches."

"All Lancers, enter the Knights' Hall for training."

"The archers are responsible for the security of the territory, and they also make sure that nothing happens to the people who go out to collect resources."

On the field, many combatants looked stern, and then said respectfully: "Yes, Lord!"

At this time, Cao Xing seemed to remember something, and he called the black smoke shaman.

"Blot."

"I am here, your Excellency the Lord."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "I'll give you a location. Go explore the area around there today and see what the situation is."

"If you feel there is danger, remember to evacuate immediately."

The place that Cao Xing asked Blot to investigate was the ancient battlefield that Yao Yiming had mentioned before.

Although it is not far from his territory.

But because Cao Xing had a lot of more important things to do, he never had the chance to go and investigate.

Now, some manpower has been spared.

The black smoke shaman said respectfully: "Yes, sir!"

The words fell.

Everyone dispersed and began to carry out Cao Xing's instructions.

Soon, Cao Xing was the only one left there.

He is not going out today.

Cao Xing looked at the seeds in his backpack and couldn't wait to sow them.

But before that, he had to go see Harold.

After all, Elisa had specifically asked him to prepare some stuff for catching chickens last night.

Cao Xing walked straight into the blacksmith shop and saw the blacksmith.

"My Lord, I wish you good health."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then got straight to the point: "Harold, I'm going out for a couple of days to bring back some chickens and cows."

"chicken?"

Harold's rugged face was filled with confusion.

"Yes, it's a bare-feather chicken." When he heard the name, a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"So it's this kind of magical creature... This kind of chicken has a strong ability to survive. Its claws and beaks are very sharp and can even easily cut through iron plates. It's not easy to catch it..."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, so I need a batch of props that can catch this kind of birds. Do you have any ideas?"

Harold thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Ordinary things cannot trap this magical creature, but the lord brought back a lot of vines last time."

"Among them, those leader-level vines are particularly tough. We can use them to make several large nets to ensure that these bare-feathered chickens cannot escape."

After hearing this, Cao Xing curled up his lips into a smile.

"Okay, then stop your other work and help me make some big nets."

"As you command, my Lord."

At this time, Harold continued, "By the way, Lord, the trident you asked me to make last time has been made. It is in the storage box. Go and get it yourself."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.

I have to say, his efficiency is really high.

Cao Xing walked over quickly and opened the storage box.

[Obtain: Trident of Siren Song (Gold)]

...

At this moment, a trident about one meter and two meters long with a golden surface appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

The gorgeous halberd is covered with dense patterns, which look like some musical notes or waves.

There is a sparkling gem inlaid on the top of the trident and in the center of the shaft.

It is the [Golden Gem] and [Earth Gem]

Look at the properties.

[Siren Song Trident (Gold)]

【Quality: Treasure】

[Equipment Level: Level 30]

[Attack power: 672~683]

[Additional special effects ①: Spirit +100, Agility +80, Hit rate +10%]

[Additional special effect ②: Glittering Gold Gem + Earth Gem (same attributes as before)]

[Additional special effect ③: Siren Song (When releasing the skill, there is a 40% chance of emitting the Siren Song, causing all enemies within a 50-meter radius to be bewitched and attack surrounding enemies with a 50% chance.)]

(Note: A modified trident that has been given special abilities. It was created by the senior blacksmith Harold Iceberg)

...

When Cao Xing saw the above attributes, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Obviously, with two golden gems and Harold's improved trident, the attributes are far more powerful than ordinary level 30 golden equipment.

Especially the last [Song of the Siren] special effect, which can play a huge role in team battles.

Cao Xing put the weapon into his backpack and praised, "Not bad, Harold."

"This weapon is quite powerful."

Hearing the praise, the dwarf next to him also showed a humble smile on his face.

Cao Xing put the trident into his backpack and left the blacksmith shop.

"Bang!"

The door of the blacksmith shop was closed.

He went straight to the back garden area of ​​his territory and found the two beautiful tree spirit ladies with serene temperaments.

When the two girls saw him, they bowed slightly.

Juliette said respectfully, "My Lord, you are here."

Niffe also raised her hand and greeted happily, "Good morning, Lord!"

Cao Xing nodded, and then said, "Juliette, Neve, are you busy now? I have something to talk to you about."

The two girls looked at each other, then chuckled and said, "My Lord, we are not busy now, but we also have something to ask you."

"Oh? What's the matter? You go first."

Niv replied: "The rattan head turret you asked us to plant last time has grown!"

"We want the Lord to go and take a look."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also became interested.

Because according to Juliet, this kind of turret is very evil and usually only grows in plague areas.

Unexpectedly, it was successfully planted in his territory.

"Okay, then take me to see it first."

"Okay, Lord."

After saying that, the two girls took Cao Xing's hands, one each, and led Cao Xing forward.

Being led by two beauties, Cao Xing also felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"My Lord, since these two plants are quite evil, I planted them far away from other plants."

"If we find the demon-killing flower pots later, we can move them away or plant them directly on the city wall."

Cao Xing nodded. Although he didn't know what the [Demon-Suppressing Flower Pot] was, he could tell from Juliet's description that this thing was very useful.

I secretly made note of this thing in my heart.

Then, he saw the two strange plants at the corner of the city wall.

They look like a freshly peeled dragon fruit, but have a row of spikes on the surface.

A strong black and purple aura continued to emanate from his body, splashing out like pus.

Even the land within five meters around was dyed black and purple.

This plant looks very evil at first glance.

Cao Xing also took a look at the attributes.

【Tengshou Fort】

[Race: Mordremorten]

[Level: Level 25 (Level Boss-level Creature)]

[HP: 37823/37823 (Pale Tree Bonus)]

[Attack power: 1754~1863]

[Armor: 293~311]

[Skill: Plague Cannonball (Fires a plague cannonball, causing 10% damage to all enemies within 147 meters and creating a 50-meter plague area;
Enemies that enter the range will be infect with the plague state and continue to lose health. The plague area lasts for 5 seconds and has a cooldown of 20 seconds.)
Plague vines (shoots out 3 to 5 vines to nearby enemies, causing them to be entangled and inflict 3 layers of plague. Cooldown time: 30 seconds)
Eat corpses (By eating the rotten corpses on the ground, quickly restore health, restore 5% of health per second, cooldown time 100 seconds)]

(Note: An evil plant that has strong defensive capabilities but will pollute the surrounding land.)
...

"Wow, this thing has pretty strong attributes. And the Plague Cannonball skill is really a great defensive skill!"

As the system introduction says, this thing is an evil plant that spreads plague and pollutes the land.

But at the same time, it's powerful.

Cao Xing frowned and was also hesitating whether to remove the two plants.

Juliette next to him seemed to see Cao Xing's worry and said softly, "Lord, don't worry about it polluting our territory."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because there is a Pale Tree in our territory."

Juliette said proudly: "The power of the Pale Tree makes Mordrem dare not cross it. In the territory, it also remains dormant."

"I have been observing these two plants for a while. Their range of activity is only two or three meters around them. In the past few days, they have not expanded by even one centimeter."

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

If it's just two or three meters, it's nothing.

If the pollution area is too large, we will have to remove it with great pain.

"Okay, you guys continue to observe and report to me if there is anything unusual."

The two women nodded at the same time.

Then, Cao Xing said, "Let's go to the next place."

After saying that, he walked straight forward.

The two girls looked at each other, then followed him obediently.

Soon, they arrived at two newly reclaimed farmland areas at the rear of the territory.

Just as Duan said, these fertile fields have been covered with greenhouses, and underneath is cultivated black mud land.

Just one look at them tells you that these lands must be fertile.

Look at the properties.

【Primary fertile land】

[Durability: 10]

[Single block area: 60 cm*60 cm]

【Total area: 324 square meters】

[Effect: Accelerate the growth rate of crops by 10%]

...

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

"Yes, primary fertile land also has the effect of accelerating the growth of crops. With the bonus of the Pale Tree, it will be even faster."

Then, Cao Xing took out two bags of seeds from his backpack.

He first glanced at Juliette, then asked, "Juliette, the growing conditions of the seeds of these two crops are quite demanding. Do you think our two pieces of fertile land can meet the requirements?"

Juliette looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "Of course, Lord..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing smiled.

Then he took the two girls into the greenhouse.

He took out another shovel from his backpack.

"rustle……"

He shoveled away the soft soil.

Cao Xing took out 4 [Cold Dew Rice Seeds (Green)] from his backpack and poured them directly into the pit.

The soil was covered again.

After that, he squatted aside and waited.

Little Niv couldn't help but remind him, "My Lord, after the seeds are sown, it will take some time for them to grow."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I know."

After saying that, he took out a [Human-Faced Tree Heart (Green)] from his backpack.

This is just an ordinary human-faced tree heart, which can speed up the growth time by 0.5 to 1 year.

This type of tree heart has the largest reserves, with more than 400 pieces.

Cao Xing imitated Juliet's actions and held the tree heart that looked like green agate in his hand.

Then break it up gently.

"Ding!"

Following the sound of crystal shattering.

The pure life force flowed into the soil and soon disappeared.

Then, the soil underneath began to move at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"rustle……"

With the sound of breaking ground, four tender sprouts quickly emerged from the soil and continued to grow higher.

In the blink of an eye, it grew from a tender seedling to a seedling of thirty or forty centimeters.

Then it stopped halfway through growing.

The two girls stared with their big watery eyes, watching Cao Xing's actions.
