Chapter 335 Picking up a bargain! Getting rich again! (6000)
Cao Xing remained calm and continued to follow the convoy of the Church of Light.
“Turning… turning…”
The wheels of the carriage rolled over the brick and stone floor of the City Lord's Mansion, moving deeper into the mansion.
The city lord's mansion is very big.
As a count, he also built his own mansion in a grand manner.
Seven or eight carriages passed through the warehouse and courtyard area and moved forward for about five or six hundred meters.
Cao Xing, disguised as a White Walker, followed behind, which seemed a bit awkward.
At this moment, the cultists on one of the carriages seemed to notice the scene behind them.
He looked at his companions and asked doubtfully: "Do you think this White Walker is a little strange?"
"It seems like it has been following us for a long time."
Hearing this, the other cultists looked back.
But he found that this White Walker was just looking ahead with empty eyes and wandering aimlessly around.
Another cultist chuckled and said, "Virta, I think you've been working for too long and are hallucinating."
"These ugly monsters all look the same, how can you tell who is who?"
"Haha, that's right. If you don't believe me, go ask it now, why is it following us?"
Others also laughed.
The black-robed priest said, "Don't discuss these creatures casually. They are extremely evil and powerful. Once they go crazy, all of us will be torn to pieces easily!"
He seemed to be very afraid of this creature, and the other cultists also stopped laughing.
Everyone knows how terrifying creatures like the White Walkers are.
If the Church of Light hadn't used a special method to control them, these monsters would have frozen and crushed everything in the world!
The black-robed priest continued: "Hurry up and complete the task."
"Yes."
After saying that, the entire convoy continued on their journey.
At this time, Cao Xing also gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was a close call... I was almost discovered because I followed too closely..."
"Fortunately, they are afraid of the White Walkers and dare not come over to confirm. There is still a risk of being exposed."
This also gave him a wake-up call.
Cao Xing gradually distanced himself from them, and then followed them unsteadily.
There is no road ahead, and it seems that we have reached the end of the City Lord's Mansion.
"That's strange, why are they still heading into the City Lord's Mansion?"
At this moment, the group of hunters drove the carriage straight into a wall and never appeared again.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was also a little surprised.
"Oh? Is this another illusion scene?"
He came to the wall and heard the rutting of a carriage from inside.
I waited for two or three minutes until the sound faded away.
He also tried to run straight into it.
The wall in front of him suddenly became illusory and did not pose any obstacle.
Cao Xing passed through unhindered.
Then, he saw the hidden area and the scene inside.
This is an open space with many rockery around it, enclosing the area.
In the central area, there is a hole that is three or four meters wide, which seems to lead underground.
The carriages have entered the passage.
And Cao Xing already understood something.
"So that's how it is. The passage to Duolun Lake City and the outside world is inside the City Lord's Mansion!"
"So where does this passage lead to?"
He immediately decided to go in and take a look.
As soon as I entered the passage, my vision went dark.
The environment inside was very dim and there was no lighting equipment.
Fortunately, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and he can still see clearly even in places with such poor visibility.
Cao Xing kept a certain distance and moved forward following the tire tracks on the ground.
It took nearly half an hour to walk!
He had followed for almost 15 kilometers, but still hadn't reached the end of the passage.
"My goodness, this passage is too long, isn't it?"
"How long will it take to dig this out?"
There was a look of shock in Cao Xing's eyes, and he began to observe the situation inside the passage.
He found that there were different construction marks on the walls of this passage.
The further we go, the drier the soil becomes.
It looks like it was dug from the outside inwards.
In other words, the Church of Light had already thought of this day.
So they started construction of this channel a long time ago.
Otherwise, the construction of such a long passage would be extremely difficult.
"Sure enough, the Church of Light has been planning for Duolun Lake City for a long time!"
Cao Xing was filled with emotion.
Finally, about half an hour passed.
In other words, he walked a total of thirty kilometers in the passage!
Finally, I saw a ray of light appearing in the cave ahead!
At this moment, Cao Xing was very excited, "It's finally here!"
He stuck to the wall and approached the cave entrance carefully.
Soon I saw the scene outside.
Their current location seems to be in a mountain near Duolun Lake City.
There are mountains and cliffs everywhere around.
Under normal circumstances, even hunters who go into the mountains would not come to such a place.
Cao Xing sighed secretly: "This location is really hidden enough!"
“No one would have thought that there is a passage in this mountain that leads directly to the interior of Duolun Lake City.”
At the same time, he also saw the figures of the cultists.
Seven or eight carriages were parked in an open space in front, as if waiting for something.
At this time, the leading black-robed priest whistled.
"Uu——"
The clear whistle echoed in the valley.
A moment later, Cao Xing saw several shadows passing through the sky.
Then it fell straight towards the area where they were.
"Hu-hu-"
The huge wings flapped, creating a strong wind.
Cao Xing saw the appearance of those creatures clearly.
They were a group of giant eagles with huge sizes and a wingspan of nearly twenty meters!
The gray feathers appeared a deep ink color, blending in with the surrounding night, but they did not have that frightening sense of majesty.
It has a round head and big, bright eyes, like two warm brown gems. There is no sharp edge in its eyes, only lazy sleepiness.
There is also a bald spot on his head, which is covered with thick flesh and looks soft.
Compared with the ferocious and majestic appearance of other giant eagles, this giant eagle looks a little silly.
"Oh? What kind of eagle is this?"
With a curious look, Cao Xing glanced at their properties.
【Humpback Eagle】
[Level: Level 41 (Fifth-order elite creature)]
[Health Volume: 153526/153526]
[Attack power: 2731~2832]
[Armor: 563~588]
[Skill: Giant Carrying Force (Humpback Giant Eagle has great endurance and strength, and can grab cargo that exceeds 150% of its own strength limit and transport it over long distances)
The cargo is stable (when encountering bad weather, the humpback eagle will change its flying posture and the frequency of its wings flapping to adapt to different wind directions and air currents. Even in strong storms or turbulence, the cargo will not fall or be damaged easily.)]
[Talent: Behemoth (HP increased by 50%)]
(Note: A giant eagle that can easily carry a large amount of cargo and fly smoothly in the sky, but it is difficult to tame and has a huge appetite.)
...
"Interesting, is this the transportation vehicle of the Church of Light?"
"They can actually tame this kind of creature and use it to transport goods. They are quite capable."
Cao Xing also saw their skills. This kind of pack eagle can be said to be a natural transporter. If he could get a few of them back to the territory, it would be very helpful to him.
At the same time, the black-robed priest blew the whistle again, as if urging the giant eagles to work.
However, no matter how much he blew, the giant eagles still stood there lazily.
The black-robed priest seemed to feel very embarrassed. He approached a giant eagle and said angrily, "The church has been raising you for so long, isn't it just to let you work?"
"Move everyone!"
However, the group of giant eagles ignored him and stood lazily by.
The black-robed priest was furious and grabbed the reins around the neck of a giant eagle, as if trying to drag it away by force.
However, this creature is extremely powerful.
He flapped his wings, creating a strong airflow that blew the man in black robe away.
"Pfft!"
The black-robed priest flew dozens of meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
After getting up, he was so angry that his face turned red!
Cao Xing, who saw this scene from behind, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
These giant eagles with humps are just a bunch of lazy bums, and I don’t know how these believers can make them obedient.
At this time, a believer nearby said cautiously: "Priest...Priest...are these giant eagles craving for food again?"
"If you don't feed them, they won't seem to want to work."
After hearing this, the black-robed priest said angrily, "These damn gluttons! We made them work all night and they have already eaten thousands of kilograms of our meat, and they are still not satisfied!"
"Who of you has any meat? Feed them some."
Hearing this, the teachers looked at each other and shook their heads.
They were just a group of ordinary members. They didn't have any extra food on them, so it was just a matter of feeding themselves to these giant eagles.
Seeing this scene, the black-robed priest's eyes also showed a thoughtful look.
Then he set his sights on one of the old horses that was pulling goods.
In an instant, the black-robed priest turned into a black shadow and pounced down.
"Uu——"
With a scream, the poor horse died on the spot.
The meat on its body was quickly swallowed by these seven or eight giant humped eagles.
After eating and drinking, they flew lazily.
Under the nervous gaze of the black-robed priest next to him.
The giant eagles stretched out their claws, grabbed the bed of the carriage, and then flapped their wings and flew up.
Seeing this, Cao Xing, who was watching nearby, said happily: "These giant eagles are really interesting. They are willing to work only when they are given food."
Having said that, they are still very efficient.
On the truck bed, the heavy cargo was held firmly in their hands, very steadily.
And just when the giant eagle was about to fly to a height of three hundred meters.
Cao Xing's heart moved, and he took out a magic scroll from his backpack.
The next moment, an invisible breath of wind hit one of the giant eagles.
However, the giant humped eagle didn't seem to feel anything.
He just casually glanced at the group of hunters below and continued to fly into the sky.
A system prompt also appeared in front of Cao Xing.
[Successfully used the 'Wind Beacon' magic scroll, marking the target location, lasting three hours...]
...
Since this mark does not belong to the buff state, it cannot be blessed by [Eternal Power].
Cao Xing was not sure whether he could find their destination in this way.
This was just a casual attempt on his part.
It would be great if we could find the next stronghold of the Church of Light, but if we can't, there won't be any loss.
at the same time.
When all the giant eagles disappeared into the horizon with their cargo.
The black-robed priest said, "Okay, let's find a place to rest for a while."
"At dawn tomorrow, we will continue to transport the remaining resources from the warehouse."
At this moment, the group of hunters felt relieved after hearing this.
They sighed: "Finally we can take a break..."
"Yeah, I feel like I can fall asleep while standing now..."
Soon, they all got into the carriage. At this moment, Cao Xing heard the hunters say they wanted to rest and that there were still some remaining resources in the warehouse.
He turned around almost without hesitation and ran into the passage!
Cao Xing knew that this was his chance.
We must collect more resources before we are exposed!
A black shadow was running at high speed in the passage!
Under the state of [Queen's Will] + [Wind Spell] + [Black Mist Totem].
Cao Xing ran so fast that an invisible whirlwind even appeared under his feet!
It turned him into a streak of running lightning!
However, even while running wildly, Cao Xing maintained his disguise as a white-robed priest.
Prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
It took less than ten minutes.
He ran through this 30-kilometer passage and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
[You have entered a special area: City Lord's Mansion...]
...
Then, he continued to maintain the appearance of a white-robed priest and walked out of the wall.
As soon as I came out, I saw a large number of White Walkers wandering around aimlessly.
A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.
"Very good, I have also found the resource point in the City Lord's Mansion."
“I hope the contents won’t disappoint me!”
Just as he was about to head to the warehouse area.
Cao Xing suddenly noticed that the White Walkers around him seemed to be getting agitated.
They all raised their weapons, exuding some kind of evil aura, and stared at a certain place with murderous intent!
And in the central area of the City Lord's Mansion.
That is, the place where the four bishops and the city lord are located is constantly emitting a terrifying power fluctuation!
It was this aura that made the White Walkers feel strongly threatened!
Then, Cao Xing heard a roar like a tiger.
"Roar!!!"
"You bunch of damn cultists! You want me to submit to you? Dream on!!"
boom!
A terrifying aura erupted.
The other party seems to be struggling frantically!
Even the ground began to shake slightly!
Cao Xing's eyes narrowed, "This should be the voice of the city lord."
"This guy, is he still conscious?
"He wants to get rid of the suppression of the four great bishops?"
Logically speaking, it should be a good thing that the city owner can now escape from the predicament.
But for Cao Xing, if this famous city was suddenly erupted, he would escape.
No one will be able to restrain the four bishops.
One of the archbishops will most likely see through Cao Xing's disguise!
"Damn it, City Lord, City Lord! You can't run away now!"
"I haven't finished searching the resources in the City Lord's Mansion yet!"
Cao Xing was waiting anxiously.
I don’t know if it was an answer to his prayers.
The city lord's voice gradually faded away.
Obviously, it was suppressed by the four great bishops again.
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Very good, it looks like I'm safe for now."
"Now we have to hurry up and find the resources inside."
He ignored the restless White Walkers.
Instead, he followed the route he had just remembered and quickly came to the back of the courtyard.
Then I saw a wide and tall one-story building made of stone and wood.
It was exactly where the group of cultists had just emerged.
With an expectant look, Cao Xing quickly came to the gate, which seemed to be sealed with a magic seal.
He also cracked it casually.
Then, push hard!
"Crench!"
The door opens.
And when Cao Xing saw what was inside, the anticipation in his eyes gradually turned into ecstasy!
"Fuck! There are still so many things left?!"
"That's fucking outrageous!"
In this large warehouse.
Cao Xing saw piles of mithril, eternal gold ingots, and kronor!
These precious metals were piled up in large boxes and sacks on the ground, filling up an entire corner of the room.
In addition, he also saw dozens of large boxes in another corner, which were filled with a large number of magic crystals, goblin bombs and other things!
"Hahaha! I'm rich!"
Cao Xing walked over with an excited smile on his face.
He first put all the precious minerals and crowns in the corner into his backpack!
[Award: Krona*784 million]
[Obtain: Refined Iron*102324]
[Obtain: Mithril*37322]
[Obtain: Hengjin Ingot*5941]
[Obtain: Magic Pattern Stone*4321]
[Obtain: Advanced Magic Crystal*2155]
[Obtain: Expert-level magic crystal*114]
...
As system prompts continue to appear.
At this moment, Cao Xing looked at the vast amount of precious minerals in his backpack, and the excitement in his eyes could hardly be suppressed!
"Hahaha! One hundred thousand refined iron, tens of thousands of Mithril, and thousands of Eternal Gold Ingots and Magic Pattern Stones."
"Shit, how much is this worth?"
The value of these things is currently difficult to estimate!
Far more than what he had previously earned in the city.
It can be said that these minerals alone can increase his wealth dozens of times!
However, that’s not all that’s in the warehouse.
In another corner, Cao Xing also saw boxes of bombs and magic crystals.
He walked quickly forward and put it all into his backpack.
[Obtain: Goblin Fragmentation Bomb*515]
[Obtain: Goblin Fire Bomb*505]
[Obtain: Goblin Frost Bomb*373]
[Obtain: Neros Cannon Shells*452]
[Obtain: Large Crossbow Arrow*1154]
[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Green) * 1632]
[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Gold)*65]
【get……】
...
"There are so many goblin bombs!"
"When I encounter enemies, I will just throw them all at once. I can kill them all by piling them up!"
Cao Xing was very excited.
Then, he started searching the entire warehouse without stopping.
Even some scattered resources in the corners were not left out.
It took about ten minutes.
Cao Xing directly put all the resources in the warehouse into his backpack.
Looking at the empty warehouse, Cao Xing nodded with contentment.
"Not bad, not bad, I finally found the biggest resource in the city!"
"The harvest this time is beyond imagination!"
Tonight's looting can be said to be a real wave of fat.
Although I don’t know how much resources the Church of Light has taken away.
But the share that fell into his hands also reached a rather terrifying number!
Even the mithril used by the warriors to break through to the fifth level was ready.
It can be said that in the future, Cao Xing will not need to worry about these resources.
At this moment, Cao Xing looked at the time.
It's five o'clock in the morning.
"According to the plan, the instructors will not take action until daybreak."
"That means I still have some time to search again!"
Cao Xing knew that there must be other things in the City Lord’s Mansion.
And now, the four bishops are trying their best to suppress the city lord.
This is a great opportunity for him.
He quickly left the warehouse and began searching in the huge City Lord's Mansion.
Time...half an hour passed quickly.
What disappointed Cao Xing was that, apart from the warehouse, there were really no other resources elsewhere.
It is obvious that the Church of Light has transferred most of the supplies from the City Lord's Mansion.
But it's enough.
People must know how to be content.
It would be the same if we become stronger in the future and then find the lair of the Church of Light and take back these resources, right?
At this time, the distant sky was already turning pale.
"It's almost dawn, I should go out too."
Just as Cao Xing was preparing to retreat, a powerful aura erupted again in the central area of the City Lord's Mansion!
"boom!!!"
"Get out of my way!"
"A bunch of sewer rats, don't even think about making this city lord surrender!"
...
Cao Xing's heart moved, "This city lord has gone crazy again."
"It seems that it will take some time for the Church of Light to make him completely submit."
"That's great. I'll run away first."
And just then.
There was another strong tremor in the center of the City Lord's Mansion.
Then, there was a loud explosion.
"Boom!!!"
It was as if some horrible creature had broken free from a cage!
A deep voice sounded.
"Damn it! The city lord has broken free from our control. Keep suppressing him!"
"Want to arrest me? You are a bunch of trash, die!"
Bang!Bang bang!
In an instant, horrific sounds of fighting were heard from inside!
Even Cao Xing could feel the shaking under his feet.
The fighting power of these strong men is quite astonishing!
"Huh? A fight broke out?"
Cao Xing quickly retreated to the periphery, then glanced at the direction where the battle came from.
Four figures rushed out instantly!
I saw a man with a body like a bull and a naked upper body, clenching his fists and staring at his enemy with a fierce look!
The other three red-robed bishops locked onto the other party tightly.
The four seemed to be in a stalemate at the moment.
The chest of the mayor of Duolun Lake City rose and fell violently, as if he was seizing the time to recover his strength.
One of the red-robed bishops holding two daggers said in a deep voice: "City Lord, give up. Joining our Church of Light is your only choice."
"Can't you see? The Ice Crystal King is old. He is no longer capable of ruling such a vast kingdom."
"Even if we don't take action, the Ice Kingdom will eventually be invaded by other kingdoms."
