Chapter 289: Entering the Marauder Camp, Destroying It with Effort (6400)

"We will go and rid the people of this evil!"

After Cao Xing finished speaking, everyone responded.

"As you command, Lord Lord!"

Then, Cao Xing first called Dabai and Wally over.

He and Liu Muxue went to collect all the [Moses Grass] beside the pond.

[Obtain: Moses Grass (Green)*17723]

[Obtain: Moses Grass (Green)*16894]

[Obtain: Moses Grass Seeds (Green) * 7231]

【get……】

...

There were large areas of Moses grass growing here, and the two of them had a lot of fun picking it.

Soon, all the grass in this patch was pulled out by them.

at the same time.

Two giant beasts, Baymax and Volibear, also came over.

"Boom! Boom!"

Cao Xing glanced at the people on the field and the cloud yak behind him.

Then he said, "Jonald, Joecent, take Dabai and Wally with you and find a safe place to guard our yaks."

"Then wait for my news."

The two dragonblood warriors straightened their bodies and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord, we will definitely not let the yak get hurt."

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

"Everyone else, follow me up."

After that, everyone started to act separately.

Cao Xing led a group of people and found a small path up the mountain.

Then they came to the place where Sarah and others were fighting.

There were piles of corpses lying on the cliffs on both sides.

There's also the loot these guys drop when they die.

Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.

Because he saw a bunch of hearts of power and souls!

Just walk over and collect it all.

[Obtain: Advanced Power Heart*1]

[Obtain: Elite Soul of Snow Mountain Predator*2]

[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*7]

[Obtain: 3rd level earth mage apprentice recruitment scrolls*]

[Obtain: Goblin Fragmentation Bomb*7]

[Obtain: Coins*17239]

[Obtain: Advanced Element Crystals*12]

[Obtain: Intermediate Element Crystal*37]

...

"Oh? Three scrolls for recruiting earth mage apprentices, and a goblin fragment bomb?"

Cao Xing took a look at the properties of these two new things.

[Level 3 Earth Mage Recruitment Scroll]

[Item Effect: After use, you can summon an earth mage apprentice with third-level strength, who has the skills of 'Intermediate Earth Element Control' and 'Earth Spike']

...

"Just a mage apprentice? Although he has the strength of a third-level mage, he has too few skills."

You know, for a magician, the most important thing is various advanced spells.

Without spells, you can only use some ordinary attacks, and your combat effectiveness is quite weak.

"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I still have more than 40 elite souls in my backpack, which is enough to wipe out all these mage apprentices."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing put all the scrolls into his backpack, ready to return to the territory to summon them again.

Then he moved on to the next thing.

It was a palm-sized bomb, and it felt very textured when held in the hand.

[Goblin Fragment Bomb (Blue)]

[Attack power: 1723~1854]

[Additional special effect ①: Explosion (After detonation, causes 10% damage to all enemies within a 100-meter range)]

[Additional special effect ②: Splash (After the bomb explodes, a large amount of debris will appear, causing 20% damage to enemies within 78 meters, and adding 1 layer of bleeding effect)]

...

Cao Xing thought: "Although this bomb is only blue grade, its attack power is quite high."

"And the most important thing is that this bomb doesn't have a cooldown period like skills or other attacks."

"If you are skilled enough in using bombs, you can even kill a sixth-level commander or even a stronger one!"

Of course, this is just a hypothesis.

After all, the more powerful the being, the higher their armor and the faster their reaction ability.

Just like the group of Snow Mountain Raiders who raided Cao Xing today, even though the other side had the advantage of terrain, they were still stopped by their powerful strength.

Cao Xing put it into his backpack.

In addition, there is also a high-level heart of power in the loot.

It just so happened that many of his subordinates were stuck at level 30 and all needed this thing to break through.

So, he first gave the [Withered Longbow (Gold)] that Renis had replaced to Elisa.

He then handed her the Heart of Advanced Power in his hand.

Elisa took the two things, and a surprised smile immediately appeared on her face!

"Wooooo! This is something that can make me stronger!"

"And this bow and arrow is amazing too!"

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "You have performed well recently. This is a reward for you."

"Now, use this heart of power to break through directly."

"As you command, handsome lord!"

After the girl finished speaking, she crushed the Heart of Power and entered a breakthrough state.

Cao Xing continued to clean up the battlefield, picking up all the clothes and weapons of the looters.

[Obtain: Damaged jute cotton clothes*42]

[Obtain: Damaged Linen Cotton Clothes*23]

[Obtain: Snow Mountain Predator Standard Weapons (Knife, Sword, Gun, Bow) * 62]

[Obtain: Goblin Fragmentation Bomb*18]

...

"Yes, I got dozens of cotton clothes and more than a dozen bombs."

"Although these cotton clothes are damaged, we can just go back and ask Jenny and Elena to sew them for us."

Cao Xing looked towards him happily.

At this time, Renis came over and said, "My Lord, I sensed that the hunting mark is one or two kilometers ahead. Do you want me to go explore it first?"

Sarah next to him said, "Me too."

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

After getting permission, the two girls looked at each other, both with a faint smile on their faces, and then walked directly into the forest ahead.

But Cao Xing felt something strange when he looked at their backs.

The relationship between these two women seems to be getting better and better.

Cao Xing also discovered that not only them, but also the people under his command had become much closer.

Many people have found friends who share the same interests as them.

For example, Braum and Assam, Centaur and Boar Warrior, Elisa and Tong Chuchu, etc...

This is also a good thing for Cao Xing.

After all, one's own territory is equivalent to a big family.

While everyone is loyal to themselves, they also find friends who get along well with them. They can also communicate more often and increase their sense of belonging.

As I thought about it, time began to pass slowly.

A few minutes later.

As Elisa was breaking through, a strong icy aura suddenly rose from her body.

It was like an icy arrow shot out, carrying with it a heart-trembling sense of threat.

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

[Due to the significant improvement in its attributes, the primary bow and arrow mastery has been upgraded to the intermediate bow and arrow mastery...]

...

Elisa opened her azure eyes, then walked over with a bow and arrow in her arms and said happily: "I succeeded, Lord!"

"Congratulations. Keep working hard and strive to break through to level five as soon as possible."

Cao Xing encouraged with a smile.

Elisa nodded heavily, “Yeah! I’ll try my best!”

After saying that, everyone continued to wait where they were.

A few minutes later.

Sarah and Renes appeared in front.

The two girls came over quickly and reported, "My Lord, we have found the entrance to the camp of these raiders."

"However, there was a barrier blocking us, so we didn't go in to investigate."

"Enchantment?"

"Yes, the strength of this barrier is quite high. Even if Sarah and I work together, it will take some time to break it."

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then said directly: "I understand, take us directly there."

"As you command, Lord."

After saying that, everyone followed Sarah and Renis and walked towards the dense forest.

And Braum, the blood bull, walked at the front of the team holding a shield.

After entering the dense forest, they took many detours along the way.

There is no fixed route in the dense forest, and you will often pass through some forks in the road.

If it weren't for the special effect of "Hunting Mark" on the hunting longbow equipped by Renis, she might not be able to find the location of the raiders' camp.

With Renis's perception, they soon arrived at their destination.

Everyone saw that at the foot of the mountain ahead, there appeared several small watchtowers, on which stood several archers who were also wearing animal skins and horned helmets on their heads.

Behind the watchtower is a giant hole about two or three meters wide and six meters high!

"Is this the place?" Cao Xing asked.

Renis replied: "Yes, from my perception, that guy is now in the cave."

Cao Xing nodded slightly. He did not hide anything and led his men towards the entrance of the cave in a swaggering manner.

The Snow Mountain Plunderers who were guarding the door also discovered Cao Xing and others, and their faces changed immediately!
"Damn it! These are the guys that Chief Savage was talking about, and they're attacking us now!"

"What should we do? Our camp's location has been exposed!"

"We are no match for this group of people. Let's go into the camp and inform the leader!"

These snow mountain predators didn't even fight, they just jumped down from the watchtower and rushed into the cave.

Cao Xing didn't stop him.

On the one hand, it was because they were inside the barrier, and on the other hand, they were about to enter a cave, so they would also be exposed.

Then, he led his men directly to the entrance of the passage.

An invisible energy shield appeared, blocking everyone's way.

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.

【Mountain Soul Barrier】

[Armor: 3000]

[Durability: 150000/150000]

[Additional Effect ①: Level 5 Super Rune (Immune to attacks below level 5)]

[Additional special effect ②: Mountain Soul (For every 10000 decrease in durability, a mountain soul with level strength will be summoned to attack the enemy)]

...

"This barrier is quite interesting. Not only does it have a special effect of immunity to attacks, but as the durability decreases, it will also summon mountain spirits to attack us."

There was a smile on Cao Xing's lips.

To be honest, up to now, he still didn't know what the barrier was made of.

If possible, he also wanted to create a barrier to protect his territory.

Francesca should know, after all, there is a large barrier near her castle. Cao Xing decided to ask this woman when he returns.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing cleared his mind and focused his gaze on the [Mountain Soul Barrier] in front of him.

With a durability of 15, it does take some time to break.

Sarah and Assam said at the same time: "Lord, do you need us to take action?"

"Need not."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out a hairpin from his backpack. The hairpin had a round surface and was emitting a faint glow.

It was the [Vivian's Hairpin (Orange)] obtained in the Witch Castle last time.

This thing is like a magical weapon when it comes to dealing with these barriers.

Cao Xing held it in his hand and stabbed it directly.

"Boom!"

Followed by a crisp cracking sound.

This barrier dissipated quickly like a burst bubble.

Elisa looked at the hairpin in Cao Xing's hand curiously and exclaimed: "What a beautiful hairpin!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Let's go in."

Just as he was about to step into the cave.

Assam and Bron said at the same time: "Lord, please let us clear the way ahead."

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay."

Assam, holding a legendary weapon, and Braum, holding a huge shield, walked in the front.

Everyone followed them into the cave.

As soon as he entered, Cao Xing felt waves of warmth coming.

At the same time, the light became a little dim.

A system prompt appears.

[You have entered the special area: the pillager camp]

[Dangerous level: medium]…

The medium danger level means that the creatures inside do not pose much threat to Cao Xing.

I looked at the temperature above my head.

[Current temperature: 8℃]

The temperature difference between the cave and the outside is as much as dozens of degrees. In the deep mountains with biting cold winds, there is such a place, which is simply a holy place.

"It's a nice place. No wonder these guys can live in the mountains for so long and rule the mountains like kings."

Cao Xing began to observe the environment inside.

This passage is very wide.

It is three or four meters wide and about six meters high.

It can accommodate more than a dozen people walking side by side.

There are burning torches on the cave walls, providing high visibility.

Following the bright passage, everyone moved forward and walked for about dozens of meters.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air from the front!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Without any warning, dozens of arrows were shot directly at them.

Seeing this scene, everyone did not panic.

Because they already knew that their tracks had been exposed.

Cao Xingxia led: "Bron, stop them."

Bron shouted.

"Ice Giant Ancestor, grant me strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body grew rapidly.

Then he held the huge [Evil Eye Shield] and blocked a large number of arrows.

Benedict! Tuk Tuk!

The arrows landed on Braum's head, causing triple-digit damage.

Compared to his blood volume, it is totally insignificant.

However, some of the arrows still missed and attacked everyone.

Isabel raised her staff in the back and said, "Holy Light will protect us."

A [Holy Light Cinder Shield] emitting golden light suddenly appeared and blocked all remaining arrows.

Isabel's skill is really useful. While blocking damage, it can also push monsters and detonate shields to cause damage.

At the same time, Cao Xing and others also saw the enemy's appearance clearly.

They were a group of Snow Mountain Raider archers wearing horn helmets, numbering about thirty or forty people.

When they saw that their first wave of attacks had no effect, shock suddenly appeared in their eyes.

"Just as Chief Savage said, these people are extremely powerful, and each one of them is a monster!"

"Hurry up, let's go to the back of the passage!"

After saying this, the archers prepared to retreat.

However, Braum slapped his shield and laughed, "Aha, I see you!"

At this moment, he was in the form of an ice giant, rushing out like a bulldozer.

"Boom!"

When the group of plunderers saw Braum rushing towards them, fear appeared in their eyes!
One of the archers quickly gave the order: "Don't panic! Shoot! Keep shooting!"

call out! Phew!

A large number of arrows were shot.

at the same time.

The archers stared at Braum's feet with a hint of expectation in their eyes, as if they were waiting for something.

Braum, holding his shield, was fearless at all. He blocked a large number of arrows and rushed forward!

Just then, he seemed to step on something.

"Shoot..."

In an instant, Cao Xing smelled the smell of gunpowder.

"Bron, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Braum could react, flames appeared under his feet.

"Boom! Boom!"

Violent explosions sounded one after another.

A large number of damage numbers appeared above Braum's head.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

...

Seeing this, the Marauder Archer in the rear laughed and said, "Haha, this guy stepped on our bomb trap!"

"Keep attacking, I'm going to turn this guy into a hedgehog!"

call out! Phew!

More arrows shot into the smoke, as if trying to take advantage of the victory.

Dozens of three-digit damage numbers appeared, and Braum endured two waves of arrow fire and a wave of bomb traps.

The blood volume has indeed dropped a lot.

And just then.

Liu Muxue behind him raised her hand and cast a [Holy Healing Technique], and Isabel raised her hand and cast a [Chain of Holy Light].

Two reply numbers appeared above Braum's head.

+6629
+5231
...

In the blink of an eye, his health returned to normal.

Not only that, more than 2,000 reply data also appeared above Braum's head.

The group of archers continued to draw their bows and arrows with perseverance, with joy of victory in their eyes.

Then they saw a scene they would never forget.

A tall giant with a naked upper body and a grin on his face walked out through the thick smoke.

Moreover, he even looked unharmed.

At this moment, the group of archers were stunned.

"Mountain God! What kind of monster is this?"

"He endured so many bombs from the goblins and so many arrows from us, why is there nothing wrong with him?"

"Is this man immortal?"

Bron blew his beard, "Little mice, are your attacks tickling me?"

Hearing this, the group of Snow Mountain Raider archers suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.

"Retreat...retreat!"

They turned around without hesitation and wanted to escape.

At this moment, Cao Xing raised his staff and directly released an [Ice Wall Spell].

And, most importantly, his [Ice Wall] was released behind them.

When the group of plunderers reacted, they suddenly found a thick wall of ice, completely blocking their way.

At this moment, fear appeared in the plunderer's eyes.

"Damn it! How come there's suddenly an ice wall?"

"Attack! Attack quickly! Destroy this ice wall!"

They attacked frantically.

However, the durability of [Ice Wall] is Cao Xing's spirit*10, which means that this ice wall has a durability of more than .

With their damage, it would take several seconds to break through.

Cao Xing said casually: "Go ahead and kill these guys."

The words fell.

Holding a huge axe in his hand, Bojie leaped forward and jumped out.

"Boom!"

The giant axe carried boundless force and smashed a huge pit directly on the spot!
At least a dozen archers were knocked away by this attack!
Sarah, the powerful Assam, and Andrew in the form of an owl beast, all launched various terrifying attacks.

All members on Cao Xing's side are at least leader level or above.

And the opponents are just a group of ordinary fourth-level archers.

Obviously, this was a battle without any suspense.

"Puff puff!"

One by one, the snow mountain predators fell.

He was beaten to the point where he had no power to fight back.

Kill information also keeps appearing.

[Your territory member: Berjie Sun Chaser killed the Snow Mountain Predator lv38, a fourth-order elite creature, and killed the monster above his level. Experience points: 3800*2]

[Combatants gain experience points: 1900]

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance...]

...

Two minutes later.

The battle is over.

There were a lot of snow raiders' bodies lying on the ground.

Cao Xing walked over and continued to pick up the spoils on the ground.

[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*8]

[Obtain: Elite Soul of Snow Mountain Predator*2]

[Obtain: 3rd level earth mage apprentice recruitment scrolls*]

[Obtain: Goblin Fragmentation Bomb*17]

[Obtain: Advanced Element Crystals*4]

[Obtain: Intermediate Element Crystal*12]

[Obtain: Damaged jute cotton clothes*41]

[Obtain: Coins*7822]

...

"We got dozens more sets of clothes and three recruitment scrolls."

"If we push away all the marauders in this camp, we'll probably be able to put together a team of ten earth mages."

Cao Xing thought happily.

"Not bad, not bad, let's keep going."

Following this passage, they made many turns and entered several spacious areas.

These areas are blocked by some caltrops and fences, and appear to be the defensive points of the camp.

However, all the Snow Mountain Predators inside had already fled.

They were also unimpeded and continued to move forward.

There was a detour in the passage ahead.

Just as they were about to enter the bend.

Renis suddenly reminded.

"My Lord, please wait a moment. There are a lot of traps in the passage ahead."

After hearing this, everyone stopped.

They looked over.

But he found that it was just a flat ground and there was no trace of any trap at all.

And Cao Xing has the [Eye of True Vision].

Looking over, he discovered a large number of traps, just as Renis had said.

[Level 4 Spike Trap], [Level 4 Rockfall Trap], [Level Poison Trap], [Level Explosion Trap]...

Cao Xing nodded, "There are indeed a lot of traps. These fourth-level traps have quite high damage."

After hearing this, Braun patted his chest and said, "My Lord, let Braun rush over!"

"Those traps can't hurt Braum."

Triggering all the traps once is also a possible method.

At this time, Sarah said calmly: "Let me do it, I can handle these traps."

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Compared to Braum's brute force, Sarah is more reliable.

After hearing this, Sarah directly entered the [Moon Dance] form.

hum!
The power of the dark moon descended, making Sarah's movements more flexible.

She just walked over casually and deliberately triggered the traps one by one.

[Ground Spike Trap] is triggered.

The ground suddenly caved in, and underneath it stood many poisonous spikes.

At this time, Sarah jumped directly and flexibly and jumped up safely.

Then, she triggered the [Spike Trap].

The spikes on both sides of the wall shot out instantly, but Sarah flashed and dodged at a faster speed.

Sarah followed the same method and walked along, with various traps constantly being triggered.

"Boom!"

"Oh!"

The sound of falling rocks and explosions was constant.

And Sarah was also dodging flexibly.

Of course, even if there is something you can't avoid, you can just use the holy shield on your body to resist it.

Soon, she had dismantled at least a dozen traps along the way.

Then, Sarah came over unharmed.

She said calmly: "It has all been demolished."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also praised: "Well done, Sarah."

As expected of a fifth-level commander-level assassin, he is so efficient.

Then, they continued to walk deeper into the passage.
