Chapter 299 Hidden dangers in the ancient battlefield, the army of the undead (6000)

Cao Xing controlled the vines casually.

How should he describe his current feeling? It was as if his territory had turned into a 3D plane and he could move the buildings in the territory at will.

Including residential houses, sewing shops, blacksmith shops, etc.

He could move it however he wanted, and all he had to do was lay down the land and clear away the broken dirt afterwards.

Cao Xing suddenly had an idea, "Since the sewing shop and the blacksmith shop can be moved, can the furnace and the lord's mansion be moved?"

If this is possible, Cao Xing will have more room for maneuver!

If you get into trouble outside in the future, your enemies will come to seek revenge.

He can even run away with his territory!
But when Cao Xing controlled the underground vines and approached the furnace and the lord's mansion, he discovered something regrettable.

Even the huge vines could not shake these two buildings at all.

The same goes for the soil underneath. After the vines are cut, they don't move at all.

Seeing this, Cao Xing thought to himself, "As the core buildings of the territory, the furnace and the lord's mansion cannot be moved, right?"

Obviously, this is the power of the system.

Force the furnace and the lord's mansion to be fixed in one place, making it difficult for survivors to move their territory easily.

He also gave up this idea.

"Forget it, let's just develop here. The terrain around my territory is pretty good anyway!"

Next, Cao Xing began to familiarize himself with the control of this huge vine.

Sometimes he rearranged the sentry towers and elemental arrow towers, and sometimes he moved the dormant ancient war tree outside the territory.

Cao Xing had a lot of fun.

Half an hour later, Cao Xing was basically able to control these vines as if they were his own arms.

At this moment, he suddenly had another idea.

"down!"

The next moment, the main vein of this huge vine began to grow rapidly downwards.

"Boom!"

All the frozen soil, gravel, and even some metal minerals along the way were broken open by its brute force!

Five hundred meters...

One thousand meters...

One thousand five hundred meters...

The giant vine continued to go deeper and deeper.

According to Cao Xing's perception, the geological strata here seemed to have changed, and the soil became a little moist.

Extending to about two thousand meters underground, this giant vine finally seemed to have reached its limit.

"Two thousand meters, is that about the maximum length of the vine?"

But it was enough for him.

You know, Cao Xing’s territory is only one thousand meters in diameter.

Based on this length, Cao Xing can almost expand his territory to a diameter of three or four kilometers.

The area of ​​the territory has increased dramatically!
And the most important thing is that this vine will continue to grow over time.

From now on, even if Cao Xing built a huge city, as long as he had this vine, he could change the layout of his territory at will!
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. This way, we can start the second round of expansion of the territory."

"But not now. Everyone is resting now."

"Let's wait until tomorrow."

At this time, Juliette and Neve also approached.

They had just been standing by, watching Cao Xing control the vines, with surprise flashing in their beautiful eyes.

As a botanist, Juliette also knew how magical this plant was and how much help it could bring to the territory.

The huge vines can grow so quickly, in addition to various acceleration props, it is also inseparable from the care of the sisters.

The two girls also had peaceful smiles on their faces.

Juliette said softly, "My Lord, in addition to this vine, the twilight vine you asked me to plant last time has also grown to completion."

"And according to your instructions, the twilight vine that grew has been moved to the well."

After hearing this, Cao Xing looked towards his farmland, where there was a newly dug well next to it.

There was a hazy mist floating around the wellhead, which was still emitting a faint light.

It was as if something magical was glowing in the well.

"Not bad, not bad. With the Twilight Vine, this well will be transformed from an ordinary well into a Twilight Spring."

"According to the system, this spring water also has a purification effect."

"In this way, the only material missing for making holy water is the last kind of Aurora Grass."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then praised: "Juliette, Neve, you have worked hard. The development of the territory cannot be separated from your contribution."

Juliette said softly: "We are also very happy to be able to help the Lord..."

"Yes, yes! Lord, just leave the plants to us. Neve and my sister are very capable!"

At this moment, peaceful smiles appeared on the faces of the two girls.

Cao Xing noticed.

The cool moonlight at night shone down, making their already fair skin appear shiny.

It's so beautiful.

This made him unable to help but watch it for a while longer.

Facing Cao Xing's gaze, Juliette and Neve's cheeks blushed slightly. They held each other's hands and seemed a little nervous.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly took out two things from his backpack.

These are two dresses.

One of the dresses is like a blooming tulip, with its delicate color and exquisite tailoring complementing each other. The pearl decoration on the neckline is like morning dew, exuding a warm luster.

The other dress seemed to be woven with moonlight. Its elegant color was like a tranquil lake, and the lace on the skirt was like a dancing butterfly, light and agile.

The two girls' eyes were immediately attracted by the two beautiful clothes.

Juliette immediately exclaimed, "Wow! What a beautiful dress!"

Neve next to her also agreed: "Yes, yes, I have never worn such beautiful clothes!"

The Dryads are a race that live in the jungle.

For them, the best clothing is the leaves of the sacred tree.

Including when Cao Xing first met these tree spirits, the clothes they wore were also woven with leaves.

But loving beauty is women's nature.

The same goes for these guardians.

So after seeing this beautiful dress, the two sisters couldn't take their eyes off it.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "These are for you. I think these two pieces of clothing are very suitable for you."

After hearing this, the two girls showed surprised smiles on their faces at the same time.

Then, he asked unconfidently, "Lord, is this really for us?"

"We have never worn such beautiful clothes before. Will we not be worthy of them..."

But Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, with your beauty, how could you not be worthy of wearing such clothes?"

Hearing Cao Xing's praise and encouragement, the unconfidence on the two girls' faces disappeared, and their faces turned slightly red.

Cao Xing continued: "Come, take it."

At this time, they also plucked up the courage and came to Cao Xing.

Neve took the canary yellow dress, while Juliette took the silver one.

They stretched out their white skin and rubbed it carefully, some of them couldn't let it go.

Little Niv said happily: "I have seen that beautiful witch sister wearing it before. It was so beautiful. I never thought that I could wear such beautiful clothes."

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

At this moment, Juliette and Neve looked at each other.

Then they walked over together and hugged Cao Xing's waist.

Cao Xing felt the two soft bodies in his arms, and a faint fragrance penetrated his nose.

Because the tree spirits have been dealing with plants for years, their bodies all have a peculiar plant fragrance...

The second girl said with shame on her face: "This... this is also a way for us to express our gratitude to our family..."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also laughed and let them hug him.

He ran his hands through their soft hair.

Juliette said softly after a moment.

"My Lord... let's get back to work. We haven't finished planting the ice thorn bindweed seeds you brought back last time..."

"Next time we have time... we'll wear it for you to see..."

Juliette spoke the last sentence very quietly.

But Cao Xing still heard it, and he nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

After saying that, the two girls reluctantly let go of Cao Xing's waist.

And Cao Xing also left here.

...

...

After leaving the back garden, Cao Xing was in a good mood.

After all, it’s hard not to be happy to have such a magical plant all of a sudden!
While walking leisurely in the territory.

At the same time, prepare to open the chat channel and take a look at the survivors' chats.

After all, there was a system announcement today when they went out.

The army of the Ice Crystal Kingdom has arrived and is gathering the survivors to participate in the upcoming siege.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "I wonder how the battle in Duolun Lake City went after a day, and whether the two sides started fighting."

"Or is it already over?"

And just then.

Cao Xing suddenly saw the gate of the territory open, and a tall creature with a cat-like head walked back, exhausted.

It's none other than the Smoky Shaman: Blot Brimstone.

Cao Xing quickly stepped forward and asked, "Blot, did you just come back?"

Blot said respectfully: "Yes, respected lord, according to your instructions, I went to explore the ancient battlefield."

"However, the situation is somewhat different from what we expected."

"no the same?"

"Yes."

Blot nodded and said, "There are indeed traces of an ancient battlefield there, as well as a lot of broken weapons, and occasionally some third or fourth level corpse monsters and undead appear."

"But the levels of these monsters are not high, so I dealt with them easily. I am going to explore the center of the ancient battlefield ahead."

“Then I saw a passage leading underground in the central area.”

Cao Xing was even more confused. "Underground passage? Do you mean the real ancient battlefield is underground?"

Blot nodded again.

"Yes, I walked down this passage and found an extremely wide underground space below."

"In addition to the traces of war, there are also a terrifying number of undead, overwhelming in numbers!"

"There are some undead among them, and they even bring me a strong sense of crisis!" Hearing this, Cao Xing also frowned.

Blot is now a fourth-level leader, and with his powerful state, even a fifth-level leader cannot pose a threat to him.

And the fact that he felt a sense of crisis meant that there might be undead above level six in that ancient battlefield?
Good guy!
You know, even the Duke of Palatine only has the strength of a fifth-rank commander.

How powerful is a sixth-order undead?

Blot continued, "Later, I was worried that these undead would pose a threat to our territory, so I observed them there for a long time and found that this group of undead seemed unable to come to the ground for some reason."

"Then I hurried back to report the news to the Lord."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Well done, Blot. Next time when you are gathering intelligence, try to consider your own safety."

"Thank you for your concern, Lord."

Blot bowed slightly, still with a worried look on his face.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "My Lord, I think that ancient battlefield is a big security risk for us."

"It's too close to our territory."

"And there is a terrifying and powerful army of undead below..."

“Those undead spirits can’t come out at the moment, but if they break out from underground one day, I’m afraid it will cause a huge impact on our territory.”

The Smoky Shaman had a worried look in his eyes.

Cao Xing was also thinking about this issue seriously.

It must be said that his concerns were justified.

Not far from his territory, there was actually a huge underground ancient battlefield, and it hid so many undead.

Once those undead spirits rush out, their territory will be the first to be hit!

By then, we will be caught off guard and suddenly faced with a massive onslaught of undead, and the consequences will be disastrous!
These are not those low-level ice nest monsters, but a group of terrifyingly powerful undead!

This can be seen from the fact that Duke Palatine can lead more than a thousand warrior undeads and unleash the power of fighting across levels.

The number of the undead army below is definitely far greater than Palatine's undead army.

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel fortunate that he asked Blott to go down and investigate.

Cao Xing said solemnly: "I understand, Blot, this information is very important to us."

"Now, go back and rest. I'll figure out the other things."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out an [Ice Corruption Staff (Gold)] from his backpack and handed it over.

The Black Smoke Shaman could naturally feel the powerful magic contained in the staff given by Cao Xing.

A level 30 golden staff can increase Blot's combat power by at least 20%!

He took it solemnly, "Thank you, respected lord."

After saying that, he quickly left.

After he left, Cao Xing had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that ancient battlefield would hide such a great danger."

"According to Blot, there may be undead spirits above level six down there, and there are quite a few of them."

"In my territory, only Sarah, Assam, and Andrew have the strength to deal with sixth-level creatures."

"Plus a ground dragon mecha and a frost moose..."

"There are five level six fighters in total. They are definitely not able to contend with the monsters in the ancient battlefield."

"And if I don't encounter some major events in the short term, I probably won't be able to continue to significantly improve my strength."

"So, we have to think of other ways to deal with those undead spirits."

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to Cao Xing's mind.

He remembered that there was a drawing of the [Holy Water Formula] in the Haoyue Treasure Chest that he opened in Annuohe Village last time.

"This holy water seems to be very effective against the undead!"

"We have already got the materials required for the production, Twilight Spring Water. Now we only need the last type of Aurora Grass and the advanced alchemy workshop blueprint. Then we can mass produce this holy water."

“And if there is enough holy water, I am confident that I can deal with it even if there are seventh-level undead spirits in it.”

After all, the 30% reduction in holy water and the 40% additional light damage are no joke.

Coupled with Cao Xing's [Eternal Power] bonus, it is almost the nemesis of the undead.

"It seems that the progress of Aurora Grass needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing decided to go to the [Blacksmith Shop] and [Alchemy Workshop] immediately to take out the things made by Harold and Francesca.

Then go to the market to trade and see if you can get the two things you need.

So he started heading straight to the [Blacksmith Shop].

...

...

at the same time.

In a corner of the distant western continent.

Two humans wearing yellow expedition uniforms, khaki safety helmets on their heads and carrying a large tool bag on their backs were crawling with difficulty in a passage.

In addition, they have various tools on their waists, so they can be said to be fully armed.

The names above their heads were: Janes Garland and Dennis Renner.

If there are any survivors here, they will definitely be recognized.

These two are a pair of explorer couples who are currently quite popular on the world forums.

The two created a post and shared their adventure videos on it.

They are smart and decisive.

Not long after the novice protection period ended, he found the local nobles, sold his territory, and obtained the first batch of start-up funds.

Then with the money, they began their adventure.

In this magical world, there is no shortage of strange and bizarre places.

Moreover, these places also have some puzzle-solving elements.

This couple of explorers seized on this point and went to these places specifically to look for materials.

From the very beginning, they explored the cannibal tribe and helped them find the guardian of the tribe, a giant gorilla.

Later, they explored the goblin's lair and rescued a princess who was about to fall from evil. After bringing her back to the main city, the king personally rewarded them with a huge fortune.

Later, he led the army into the jungle trolls' lair and wiped out all the monsters in one fell swoop.

Such as various...

As their videos become more and more exciting, their popularity is growing.

Each video can get more than 10 million hits!

And now, they are digging a long-forgotten passage, apparently looking for some kind of material.

Dennis whispered to the camera: "Friends, I'm Rena, and the person recording this is my wife Galan, and we meet again."

"As you can see, we are in an underground passage."

"This place is very hard to find. We got the clue from a dead person."

"The dead man was buried deep in a cursed area. My wife and I walked around for several kilometers and spent several days digging underground to find his coffin."

"Ahem, I've strayed off topic... But I swear, there must be an amazing secret hidden here!"

"We have been digging here for two days and are about to dig through this passage."

"Now, please come with me to witness the secret that has been buried here for many years!"

After saying this, he continued to raise the pickaxe in his hand and dug at the wall.

"Ding! Ding ding!"

The knocking sounds continued.

After a while, he finally dug through the frozen soil in front of him, and a faint green light came from inside.

The wife, who was taking photos using the system's built-in function, involuntarily moved the camera closer.

"Oh!"

As the wall was completely dug through.

A cold, damp breath continued to emerge.

This made the two of them feel a chill all over their bodies.

Garland behind him looked a little worried, "Honey, this place makes me feel very uncomfortable, why don't we not go in?"

But Rena in front said, "Dear Garland, don't worry, I'm here!"

"Don't forget, I am a man with the B-level talent 'Earth Driller'. If we encounter danger, I can take you to burrow underground and escape."

Hearing this, the worry on Jia Lan's face gradually dissipated.

Because before this, they did rely on Reina's talent to avoid crises time and time again.

Then, the explorer couple couldn't wait to get in.

There was a flash of green light.

When they regained their vision, they suddenly saw a scene that made their scalps tingle.

The two of them widened their eyes and even collapsed to the ground because they were too shocked.

After a moment, Dennis exclaimed, "Oh my God! What am I seeing?"

"Have we entered the city of the dead?"

In front of them, a large number of undead creatures were moving around in an ancient underground city.

Undead bone dragons flying in the air, undead horses galloping underground, undead knights, and a large number of undead soldiers...

The aura of undead on them rose into the sky and gathered into a green ocean!

Every undead here brings a fatal sense of crisis to the couple!

Moreover, the undead spirits noticed their arrival in an instant!
I don't know how many pairs of empty eyes looked at me.

The couple only felt their whole bodies trembling constantly, and their bodies seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, frozen in place.

"Re... Reina... hurry... go!"

His wife's reminder brought him back to his senses.

Just as he was about to use his talent to escape, he suddenly saw a beam of black light shooting down from the sea of ​​undead in front of him.

A knight wearing armor and emitting black energy slowly approached.

The surrounding undead retreated upon seeing the black knight.

A feeling of oppression descended from the depths of the soul.

The couple had only one thought in their minds.

Worship, surrender...

However, reason told them that they must leave as soon as possible.

The black knight just glanced at them.

The next moment, the explorer couple was struck by lightning...

...

...

In addition to this explorer couple, there have also been sporadic posts on the world forum in recent times.

These people came from all over the world, and they all said that they had discovered a large number of undead souls underground in a certain area...

However, everyone's attention was on the Ice Nest, and no one cared about the news at all.
