Chapter 250
Ice Dragon Horn, Eve of Battle_2 “We brought the corpses of those beasts back.”
Cao Xing glanced over.
Behind Assam and Andrew stood four corpses they had dragged back.
There was a Snow Plain Wolf nearly three meters long and a wild boar covered in bristle-like steel fur.
Cao Xing nodded and then clicked on “disassemble.”
[Successful disassembly.]
[Obtained: Broken Wolf Skin (Green) *1]
[Obtained: Fresh Wolf Meat *64]
[Obtained: Wolf Bone (Green) *31]
[Obtained: Wolf Teeth (Green) *8]
…
[Obtained: Broken Wild Boar Skin (Green) *3]
[Obtained: Fresh Wild Boar Meat *189]
[Obtained: Wild Boar Bones (Green) *173]
[Obtained: Wild Boar Tusk (Green) *6]
…
Cao Xing said with satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad, we’ve replenished a wave of meat, and these bones and teeth happen to be useful for making light armor and arrows.”
Assam continued to report, “We also left an Imperial Soldier or a Centaur at each resource point to protect our companions while they extract resources.”
Cao Xing nodded approvingly, “Well done, Assam.”
“Now, take a break, and then head outside the territory to deal with those Ice Nests.”
Assam and Andrew exchanged a glance and then nodded, “As you command, Lord.”
Time flew, and five hours had passed.
As Cao Xing had anticipated, the current Ice Nest frequency was about one per hour.
Moreover, due to Cao Xing’s orders, his subordinates did not destroy the Ice Nests immediately upon seeing them appear.
Instead, they waited for all 500 monsters to hatch before destroying the Ice Nests.
This way, the Ice Nests became tools for Cao Xing to grind monsters,
Contributing a large amount of experience value to him.
At the same time, a white light once again appeared on Cao Xing’s body.
The system prompt appeared.
[Your level has increased, current level: 15]
[Attribute gain from this upgrade: Power +4, Agility +2, Spirit +7, Constitution +5]
…
He once again felt his body becoming stronger.
“This feeling of leveling up is really nice, the most important thing is that my Constitution has increased!”
“This way, there won’t be a repeat of last night’s situation.”
Cao Xing’s eyes gleamed with joy.
“Right, I have a ring of golden quality in my backpack, the level requirement is 15, and now I can finally equip it!”
The next moment, a ring engraved with intricate patterns, exceedingly luxurious, appeared in Cao Xing’s hand.
He put it on directly.
In that instant, Cao Xing’s Constitution and Spirit received a significant boost once again!
He glanced at his attributes.
[Name: Cao Xing]
[Race: Blue Star Human Clan]
[Level: 15 Level 144/50000 (Second Order)]
[Detailed Attributes: Click to view.]
…
“My goodness, I didn’t realize this, but it’s astonishing!”
His Spiritual Attribute reached 177 points!
If he put on that [Hunter Priest Mask], it would be 187 Spirit!
What does this mean?
The Ice Healing Skill could restore 150 points of Life Value per second, plus the Kingdom Holy Ring’s bonus.
Now, casting the [Ice Healing Skill] was equivalent to 225 Life recovery per second!
In one minute, he could regenerate 13,500 Blood Volume!
Even Sarah, in her current state, could fully recover her Blood Volume in two minutes.
“This is truly terrifying!”
Moreover, with Cao Xing’s attribute enhancement, the Ice Armor Skill could additionally increase 112 points of Armor!
With just these two skills, he could casually throw them on a level 1 minion, allowing him to challenge enemies six or seven levels higher!
“That’s too powerful! Hahaha!”
Cao Xing was ecstatic.
“Next, when it gets dark, I’ll call all the subjects back and then use the Ice Dragon Horn.”
Cao Xing glanced at the countdown above him.
[Time until nightfall: 0 hours 52 minutes.]
[Current temperature: -17℃]
…
Night was about to fall.
However, what worried Cao Xing was that Renice hadn’t returned after so long.
Considering Renice’s current move speed as an 18th level Boss Level creature, combined with Hilda’s Queen’s Will,
Her movement speed could reach seventy to eighty kilometers per hour.
Even if the place Cao Xing had sent her to was relatively far, logically, she should have returned by now.
Thinking of this, worry surfaced in his heart.
However, the only thing that reassured Cao Xing was that the battle list showed no sign of Renice being attacked.
As the sky darkened further,
Under Cao Xing’s watchful gaze,
A figure appeared in the snowfield, rapidly approaching the territory.
When it got closer, Cao Xing recognized the figure, and joy immediately appeared in his eyes.
It was Renice.
He hurriedly opened the city gate and went to Renice’s side.
This slender-bodied archer had run nearly four hundred kilometers today to complete the task Cao Xing had assigned.
She finally made it back before dark.
Cao Xing said, “Thank you for your hard work, Renice.”
The slender archer shook her head, “It’s nothing, it’s what I should do.”
Then, Renice began to report, “Today, I went to the area you mentioned, Lord, and observed. Indeed, I found a large and deep forest.”
“But I didn’t go inside because I sensed a threatening aura within the forest.”
“So, I explored around and about ten kilometers away from the forest, I found a village.”
“From the villagers, I learned that this forest is called the Witch Forest, and it’s said that a powerful witch resides deep within.”
Hearing the last part, Cao Xing’s eyes lit up.
“The Witch?”
Renice nodded, “Yes, they also told me a story.”
