Chapter 329: In-depth Exploration and Research on the Female Night Demon (6200)

Cao Xing was delighted. "So this is the treasure of the weapon shop."

"Not bad, not bad, but it belongs to me now, haha!"

He walked straight forward and took the shield off.

"Bang!"

The heavy shield was held in his hand.

Look at the properties.

[Holy Shield (Gold)]

【Quality: Treasure】

[Level: 40 and above]

[Equipment: 847~893]

[Additional special effects ①: Spirit +300, Constitution +300, Life +10000, Agility -300]

[Attached special effect ②: Advanced Block (increases blocking probability by 40%)]

[Additional special effect ③: Holy Light Descends (activates the two-winged angel phantom on the shield, granting powerful blessings to all friendly units within a 100-meter radius, increasing their health limit by 20000, and instantly restoring 20% ​​of their health. Lasts for 60 seconds. Cooldown time: 30 minutes)]

(Equipment introduction: This shield was once used by the Ice Crystal Kingdom's strongest knight, Reina. In battle, he held up the shield, and all the soldiers followed the guidance of the Holy Light, and were invincible!)

...

Seeing the above attributes, Cao Xing's eyes gradually showed shock.

"Wow, this shield has a really powerful special effect. It directly increases my health limit by 20,000 points!"

"If this is added to a level 1 or 2 soldier, wouldn't the health volume increase several times?"

Although it's just a golden shield, its properties are really terrifying!"

No wonder it has become the treasure of the store!

Moreover, the special effects of this shield can also be amplified by [Eternal Power].

Cao Xing can be used to add those goblins and polar people.

Combined with their terrifying recovery ability, they can’t die even if they want to!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing put it into his backpack with satisfaction, ready to change it for Liu Muxue after he went out.

Then he looted all the other weapons in the store.

[Obtain: Obsidian Knight Boots (Purple)]

【get……】

...

Looking at the pile of equipment in the backpack, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad. All the weapons in this weapon shop, plus the bills, are worth at least more than 10 million crowns!"

"It's a big city indeed. I gained a lot from my first shop!"

This also made him look forward to the next search!
After confirming that there was nothing else in the shop, he returned along the same route and jumped out of the window.

He walked out with a swagger and continued wandering around the city.

Soon, he set his sights on the second shop.

It says [Lizel's Secret Medicine Store] on it.

Still the old rules.

First enter the alley, then jump in through the shutters next to it.

When I stopped and looked, I saw that all the cabinets inside were collapsed to the ground.

It was obvious that this shop had been searched once.

Looking at the broken glass bottles and the dried residues of the secret medicine on the ground.

Cao Xing sighed: "What a waste!"

"These secret medicines must be worth a lot of money."

shook his head.

Nothing to gain here.

He jumped out of the window and continued looking for his target in the city.

I have to say, this feeling of looting things right under the enemy’s nose is really exciting!

Cao Xing took a quick tour along the way.

I saw a lot of shops that I rarely see in normal times.

Such as [saddlery shop], [wood shop], [spice shop], [candle shop], etc.

As the name suggests, these shops sell a variety of professional props.

Although they look inconspicuous, they actually include people's daily necessities.

When accumulated, the amount of tax revenue generated each month is staggering.

This is also the scene that a commercially mature city should have.

Cao Xing thought of his territory.

Compared with Duolun Lake City, it can only be described as miserable.

Not only is there a lack of a wide variety of buildings, there is also a lack of a complete commercial system.

But he is not discouraged.

After all, he had only been in this world for more than a month, and the current size of his territory was almost reaching the level of a small town.

If we follow the progress of other survivors, it would be impossible to develop to Cao Xing's current territory level in at least three to five years.

So, he just needs to keep up this pace of development.

It won’t be long before his territory will reach the level of Duolun Lake City, or even be more prosperous!
Of course, Cao Xing did not let go of these seemingly inconspicuous shops.

He went into each room and looted everything inside.

I found some miscellaneous items that I don't need right now, such as saddles, horseshoes, spices, etc...

All kinds of messy materials directly occupied two spaces of the backpack.

Of course, just because you may not need it now doesn’t mean you won’t need it later.

If it really doesn't work, Cao Xing can also go to grocery stores in other cities and sell them all, which is also a considerable income.

Remove the clutter, and then there are those kronor.

Cao Xing did some statistics.

In these seven or eight shops.

He has accumulated a total of [Coins*174 million].

Plus 9 [Cadina Money Store General Receipts], worth 480 million.

Cao Xing said happily: "Although the harvest is much less than that of the weapon shop, it is not bad."

"After all, it only took less than 20 minutes to go through all the shops together."

He needs money now.

After all, after the upgrade of the gods' altar, the function of the warriors breaking through from level 4 to level 5 was activated.

This requires a huge amount of resources.

Just then, Cao Xing came to an area that interested him.

It looked like just an ordinary alley.

However, there was a faint magical fluctuation coming from inside.

"Hmm? Is it a special area in Lake Duolun City?"

With a bit of curiosity, Cao Xing followed the alley and walked inside.

When you reach the end, a wall suddenly appears in front of you.

He seemed to have reached a dead end.

However, with Cao Xing's [Eye of True Vision], he immediately discovered that the wall in front of him was fake.

There is also a hidden path on the back of this wall.

"Interesting, it really is a hidden area. Even the Church of Light hasn't discovered this place."

"Or did you notice it but didn't care?"

Without hesitation, Cao Xing continued to move forward.

A small house appeared at the end of the passage.

There seemed to be lights on inside...

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

"Oh? Is there anyone alive inside?"

Keeping a cautious mind, he came to the door and listened carefully.

There was no sound coming from inside, nor was there any sense of presence.

After a pause, he simply pushed open the door.

"Crench!"

The first thing that caught my eye was an ordinary house with tables, chairs and benches scattered all over the floor.

The only difference from an ordinary residential house was that he saw a dead body on the ground.

Judging from the features, this should be a woman, but she is not the same as a normal woman.

She was very tall, abnormally tall, almost as tall as the half-giant Putana.

However, her figure looks more voluptuous compared to Putana’s muscular body.

At this moment, she was half lying on the ground, her clothes in disarray, and one could see her snow-white thighs and half-exposed round buttocks at a glance.

However, Cao Xing had no other thoughts.

Because he saw that this woman had a pair of curved horns on her head, and her feet were not normal female legs, but a pair of goat hooves!

"My goodness, what kind of monster is this?"

Cao Xing took a glance.

【Melanie Kirkland】

(Note: There is a night demon hiding in Duolun Lake City. She usually attacks the opposite sex in the city. Many nobles in the city are investigating her identity. If you can capture her, you can go to the city guard to claim the reward.)
...

"So that's what it is. This was a Night Demon disguised in the city, and ended up dying in the massacre of the Church of Light."

Night demons are different from demons.

The night demon is considered a low-level creature.

They cannot have the ability to regenerate like demons, and their combat power is also very weak.

It is said that this creature often appears in the dark, carrying endless desires, and brings a different member of the opposite sex home every night.

Then squeeze the juice vigorously.

Cao Xing looked at the enchanting corpse on the ground and immediately stretched out his hand.

Turn it over.

In an instant, a standard Western female face, but slightly weird, appeared in front of Cao Xing.

Even though there was no life in her anymore, her lips were still as red as blood, revealing her sharp white teeth, which was chilling.

Cao Xing looked at her neck and saw a bunch of keys on it.

Then just rip it off.

[Obtain: Key to Night Devil's Hut]

...

"Hmm? If there's a key, there should be a locked place, right?"

Continue to glance around.

Sure enough, I found a small wooden door in the corner of the first floor.

But now the door is closed, with a big lock hanging on it.

"It seems that this key is used to open this door."

Without hesitation, Cao Xing walked straight to the small wooden door.

With the key inserted.

"Crack!"

The big lock opened.

Cao Xing pushed the door open and walked in.

[You have entered the hidden area, the Night Demon Hut...]

...

"It is indeed a hidden area."

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

This world is full of opportunities and unknowns, and there are many places that have puzzle elements.

If you explore carefully, you will find many places that are different from usual.

For example, some basements hidden in the village, mysterious shops in a corner of the city, tree holes in the forest, etc...

There are some difficulties when entering these places.

Find the clues, solve the puzzle, and you can enter.

And every hidden area may have something special.

This also made Cao Xing look forward to it a little.

Glancing over, I found that it looked like an ordinary room.

A simple bed with a quilt and pillow.

There was a faint smell of perfume in the room.

Cao Xing began to rummage through the drawers.

[Obtain: Lace underwear*1]

[Obtain: Maid Uniform*1]

[Obtain: Whip*2]

[Obtain: Iron Collar*5]

【get……】

...

The corners of his mouth twitched.

"Damn, she's worthy of being a female night demon. She's really good at playing tricks."

After a lot of tinkering, I didn't get anything useful.

This also made him lose some interest.

Just then, he saw a book on the bedside.

He simply reached out and picked it up.

[Obtained Book: In-depth Exploration and Research on Female Night Demons]

...

Look at the properties.

[Book: In-depth exploration and research on female night demons]

[Book attributes: After reading, it can increase 10 points of spirit and increase the mental resistance to the female night demon by 5%]

[Reading time: 12 hours and 13 minutes...]

【Click to read】

...

Cao Xing clicked to read directly.

After flipping through it, he roughly understood what kind of creature the female night demon was.

This is a beast of desire that will lead people into an endless vortex of desire.

Of course, the female demon will not kill you, but will drain your strength. The brave ones can give it a try.

Cao Xing shook his head and thought to himself, "Is this all we can get from this hidden area?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

After another careful inspection, Cao Xing actually discovered some unexpected gains.

Under the bed, he saw a secret compartment that looked like a drawer.

Pull it out directly.

There were two glass bottles in the drawer, filled with a flowing pink liquid that exuded a misty scent.

Cao Xing picked up the potion.

[Obtain: Female Night Devil's Magic Flame Potion (Orange)*2]

...

Instantly, the pupils shrank.

"Wow! It's actually an epic quality potion, and there are two bottles!"

This was the first time he obtained a secret medicine of epic quality.

With anticipation, I checked the properties.

[Female Night Devil's Magic Flame Potion (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Potion effect: After use, it can make any creature (beast, human, non-human) enter a state of burning desire. It can be effective for targets below level 80, and the effect will last for 12 hours.]

(Note: The female night demon collected the desires of a large number of living beings and refined a secret medicine. Just one drop can ignite the endless fire of desire in a person's heart.)
...

Seeing the properties of this thing, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.
"Oh my god, isn't this spring?"

"This effect is outrageous! It can actually take effect on a level 80 being and last for 12 hours."

"Who the hell can stand this?"

Although he said this, Cao Xing still put it directly into his backpack.

After all, it is a secret medicine of epic quality, and it might come in handy someday.

At this point, Cao Xing had almost searched out all the things in the Night Demon's hut.

Although no resources such as coins were obtained.

But overall, the harvest was very good.

After all, the value of those two bottles of secret medicine alone cannot be measured by money.

Then he turned and left the secret room.

But when Cao Xing arrived at the door, he found that something was missing from the ground.

The female night demon who was lying on the ground with her clothes half undressed just now disappeared out of thin air!

The door at the entrance was wide open, as if some creature had escaped!
Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

"Oh? Is this night demon resurrected? Or is it a zombie?"

At this time, Cao Xing remembered.

The information just displayed on the system did not say that the female night demon was dead, it just showed her name.

"Interesting, a female night demon that can play dead?"

Cao Xing smiled.

He had nothing to worry about.

Although the other party ran away.

But the female night demon was not very strong, otherwise she would not be hiding here.

Moreover, Cao Xing was not worried that his identity would be exposed if the other party saw it.

After all, he remained in disguise throughout the entire process, acting as a white-robed priest.

What does the white-robed priest entering your house have to do with me, Cao?

So Cao Xing walked out with a swagger.

Then continue along the street and search those shops!
Once again, a lot of resources were obtained.

Among them were more than 70 kronor and 300 million in money and commercial bills.

And until now.

Cao Xing had been in the city for less than half an hour!

The total revenue has exceeded 20 million!

"Haha, this is making money faster than a money printing machine!"

Moreover, because of his identity as a white-robed priest, the cultists would not try to stop him at all when they saw him.

So he had almost no obstacles and could go wherever he wanted!

But soon, Cao Xing put away the smile on his face.

He thought to himself, "We should keep a low profile. After all, there are confirmed to be three red-robed bishops in this city."

"I don't know the strength of these red-robed bishops yet. If they are 20 levels higher than me, they will be able to see through my disguise."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing continued to look for other targets.

He searched almost all the streets outside.

Soon, Cao Xing arrived at the second block.

The first thing that catches your eye is a tall and luxurious building with three floors.

The floor height is nearly twenty meters.

This building is located in the center of the street and covers an area of ​​at least five or six hundred square meters.

It is equivalent to a T-shaped entrance intersection.

One can imagine how terrifying the flow of people here used to be.

This is a very luxurious area, and anyone who can open a shop here must have outstanding skills and background.

There is a plaque on the building with four big characters written in vigorous fonts.

【Dream Tavern】

"Oh? So this is a tavern?"

"It's a big city indeed. Even the tavern is built so luxuriously. It's really impressive."

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the tavern.

Still use the old method, first enter the alley next to it and find the entrance.

Soon, he found a window.

Cao Xing pushed the window open and jumped in.

After landing steadily, I could smell the aroma of wine mixed with the smell of blood.

There was no light in the pub, so it was very dark.

Cao Xing took out a magic torch from his backpack.

In an instant, the blue light dispelled the surrounding darkness and illuminated the scene inside the tavern.

As expected.

The space on the first floor is very large and there are many areas set up inside.

There is a stage area and an audience area.

There are also VIP areas and ordinary areas.

However, all the tables and chairs inside had been overturned, creating a messy scene.

It can be seen that when the incident happened in Duolun Lake City, there were still many people enjoying themselves there.

But before they could react, they were sacrificed.

Looking at the empty pub, Cao Xing curled his lips into a smile.

"Very good, now everything in this tavern belongs to me!"

As someone who often does this kind of thing, Cao Xing can be said to be very experienced.

He went straight to the bar of the pub and began to rummage through the drawers.

After some tinkering, he pulled out a large pile of crowns and many room keys from the counter drawer.

[Obtain: Coins*72318]

[Obtain: Dream Tavern Room Key*24]

...

He glanced at the wine cabinet behind him again, which contained a lot of sealed bottles of wine.

Cao Xing accepted everything and put them all into his backpack.

[Obtain: Crafted Aralia Red Wine*2]

[Obtain: Fisherman's Fruit Red Wine*6]

[Obtain: Spelt wheat beer*7]

【get……】

...

A total of 36 bottles of wine were harvested, the value of which is unknown.

Compared to such a large pub, this little bit of harvest would definitely not satisfy Mr. Cao.
He thought to himself, "Generally speaking, a pub like this should have a basement."

"The basement is where the most supplies are stored."

After all, Cao Xing picked up a lot of good things in the tavern in that village last time.

He began to search the first floor area inch by inch.

The Eye of True Vision kept scanning, not missing any corner.

Then the strange thing was that no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find any signs of a basement.

I stepped on the floor and the sound was heavy.

A puzzled look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes. "Is there no basement in this tavern?"

"Their drinks are shipped from somewhere else?"

It's not impossible.

If there really is a hidden area like a basement, it would have been exposed long ago after Cao Xing's careful exploration.

However, even without a basement, Cao Xing did not give up.

After all, he still has 24 keys.

Looking at the stairs leading to the second floor in front of me, I stepped straight in.

After reaching the second floor, there are rooms.

I came to a random door and saw a plaque hanging on it.

[Room 1 of Dream Tavern: 1 hour/3500 kronor]

【Host: Sadie Romano】

[Weight: 52 kg]

[Age: 31 years old]

……

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

"Damn, this price is really expensive, 3500 kronor per hour."

Obviously, this is a place for drunkards or rich people to rest and have fun.

Cao Xing directly took out the bunch of keys and found the number of room '1'.

Insert the key and push the door open.

A simple room appeared in front of me, with a big red bed and some wooden furniture.

Of course, there is definitely no one.

Cao Xing began to rummage through the drawers.

[Obtain: Coins*7321]

[Obtain: Women's underwear*5]

[Obtain: Olive essential oil*2]

【get……】

...

It's all a mess.

After searching one room, Cao Xing moved on to the next one.

Soon, he searched all the rooms on the second floor of the tavern.

A total of 70,000 to 80,000 kronor was obtained.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, such a big pub only has these few things."

“It’s too shabby.”

Fortunately, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Because there is still a third floor that has not been searched.

Walking straight up the stairs, a corridor appeared in front of me again, with twelve rooms on both sides.

Among them, there are two special rooms, which seem to be at the innermost part of the passage.

I glanced at the first room at the entrance.

[Room 13 of Dream Tavern: 1 hour/7000 kronor]

【Host: Sadie Behrens】

[Weight: 48 kg]

[Age: 19 years old]

...

The rooms on the third floor are more expensive, almost double the price.

However, the service staff inside are also younger.

Cao Xing shook his head and quickly searched the ten rooms outside.

There are still some coins and other miscellaneous things.

Now, there are only two rooms left to explore on the entire third floor.

These are also the two most special rooms.

Cao Xing came directly to the end of the corridor.

These two rooms are almost opposite each other.

The special thing is that one of them uses an exquisitely carved wooden door, and the other one uses an iron door.

[Room 23 of Dream Tavern: 1 hour/50000 kronor]

【Receptionist: ???】

【weight:???】

【age:? ? ? 】

...

"Fifty thousand kronor an hour, this is a steal!"

However, the prices at the Dream Tavern are marked according to the women's figures and appearances.

Since he dares to charge 50,000 kronor per hour, it means that the identity of the person in the room is probably very special.

Moreover, there was no name or age on it, which aroused Cao Xing's curiosity...

……
