Chapter 223
The Death of Fang Long, the Awakening of Blom!_3 (Item introduction, “Faster than blades are deadly—the Night Watcher Expeditionary Force Logan”)
…
Cao Xing mused, “This single-handed sword doesn’t seem suitable for Liu Mu Xue. Comparatively, it seems more apt for agility-type heroes.”
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing glanced at the Frost Wolf Knight beside him.
“Assam, what weapon are you using now?”
Upon hearing this, Assam quickly came to Cao Xing’s side, then showed him his weapon with a glance.
[Standard Knight Silver Sword lv10 (Green)]
Cao Xing nodded.
It was just a basic level 10 green weapon.
However, when he remembered that Assam, when summoned, was just an ordinary creature,
Equipping a green weapon wasn’t surprising.
Thus, Cao Xing handed over the black single-handed sword, about 1.2 meters long, to Assam.
As soon as Assam received it, he could distinctly feel the near-weightless sword and its sharp edge!
“What exquisite craftsmanship!”
“Holding it, I can barely feel its weight.”
“This weapon will significantly increase my strike speed!”
Assam couldn’t help but marvel, utterly captivated by it.
Then, cradling the long sword, Assam said respectfully, “Thank you for the gift, my Lord. With this sword, Assam will cut through all obstacles for you!”
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction. This purple weapon had twice the attack power of Assam’s green weapon, boosting his attack power by over a hundred points!
Cao Xing then glanced at the other pieces of equipment, [Claw Blade lv15 (Blue)].
These were the short knives dropped by those assassins, quite decent in attributes, but required level 15 to equip.
Cao Xing thought, “In the future, see if we can train an assassin squad, then these weapons will come in handy.”
With this in mind, Cao Xing put the short knives away.
Then, there was the blueprint obtained from Fang Long’s Relic Box.
[Electronic Components Manufacturing Diagram: Can be used to produce simple electronic components.]
[Materials needed for production: Level 1 Mechanical Factory, Copper*5, Iron*1]
…
“Great, now we’ve gathered all the materials for the communication device!”
“Moreover, these electronic components have various uses, small drones, detection robots, and even some monitors and other tech devices need them.”
Cao Xing nodded again.
Thus, the gains from Fang Long Camp were all examined.
The success rate for the souls of the other two elite monsters was over 45%, and Cao Xing already had candidates in mind for the allocation.
In addition, Cao Xing still had a few hundred ‘Funerary Artifact Bags’ in his backpack that he could open back at the territory.
In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Meanwhile, changes were also occurring with Blom on the other side.
His muscles began to bulge at an even more exaggerated rate, and the blue tattoos on his body lit up as if activating a switch, emitting a blue glow.
Moreover, a frosty aura continuously emanated from him.
Blom exclaimed excitedly, “The Frost Ice Bloodline within me is activating; this feeling is amazing!”
As he finished speaking, a system prompt appeared.
[Your territory member Blom Iron Wall successfully advanced to Boss Level creature, attribute increased by 30%, learning a new skill: Ice Glacier Rift]
[Ice Glacier Rift: Blom gathers the power of Frost Ice Bloodline, strikes the ground fiercely, and sends forth an ice glacier rift, freezing enemies along the path and around Blom for 1–5 seconds, causing 187% attack damage. The Ice Glacier Rift lasts for 5 seconds, dealing magic damage at 50% attack power per second and reducing affected enemies’ move speed by 40%–70%. Cooldown time: 5 minutes.]
…
“Wow! Is this skill that powerful?”
Crowd control, group attacks, plus a 437% damage coefficient!
Ridiculously strong!
Cao Xing was overjoyed.
Blom’s transformation was incredible, beyond just attribute improvement—the new skill was ferocious!
“Blom, you are impressive.”
Receiving the compliment from Cao Xing, Blom grinned, revealing big white teeth.
“Hehe, Blom did not disappoint my Lord’s expectations; in the future, my shield will protect my Lord from more damage!”
Cao Xing nodded, then routinely glanced at his attributes.
[Ice Shield Guard: Blom Iron Wall]
[Level: 13 Level 1072/30000 (Second Order Boss Level Creature)]
[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]
…
“Wonderful! Health has surpassed 5000, and with nearly 400 armor, Blom’s toughness now rivals that of a leader of the same level!”
Cao Xing felt very gratified, then led the team onward to Hog Village.
Just then, Cao Xing suddenly felt a raindrop fall on his head.
The next moment, the raindrop instantly turned into ice, sticking to his scalp.
Rubbing the chill on his head, Cao Xing directly crushed the thumb-sized piece of ice.
Before the group had a chance to react,
Hailstones began falling with a clatter.
“Wow, it’s hailing?”
The hailstones struck the snowy ground and nearby branches, making cracking noises.
At the same time, a lot of hail pelted down on everyone’s heads.
Crack! Crack!
Cao Xing felt as if pebbles were hitting him, his head buzzing.
Large hailstones struck his head, even showing [-1], [-1] damage numbers.
Liu Muxue, holding her head, said, “Axing, the morning forecast said there would be freezing rain this afternoon—it looks like it really came…”
Cao Xing also recalled this system prompt, feeling both amused and helpless.
Whoosh—
The cold wind blew.
The temperature began to drop sharply.
Cao Xing quickly said, “Let’s go! Hurry to Hog Village for shelter!”
